Chapter 148: Sub-King Level Tussle!
“You’re quite popular, aren’t you?”
Su Xiaobai said with a lighthearted laugh.
“You’re strong!”
The golden-armored man said in a deep voice.
“Not at all!”
Su Xiaobai smiled humbly.
“Aren’t you going to use your weapon?”
The golden-armored man swung his long halberd, which emitted a faint shimmering light.
His aura was enough to rival the Sub-King Martial God, and it no longer held back, suddenly erupting with tremendous force!
Despite the barrier formation in place, the people outside could still feel the overwhelming pressure from his aura.
The warriors of the Demi-God level below.
The shouting and cheering audience.
The council members, legion commanders, and Meng Qianzheng sitting in the central seats…
Everyone showed an intense look of anticipation.
A challenge to the number one spot on the gold ranking by a Ultimate Martial Commander… this was the first time in the history of Base No. 1!
Had it been any other time, aside from the audience and Demi-God-level martial commanders present, the council members and legion commanders would have had little interest in this gold ranking…
After all, the golden-armored man had been number one for three years running, and given his growth in strength, it was certain that he would be number one again this year!
However, Su Xiaobai’s appearance had introduced an unexpected twist!
Up to this point, Su Xiaobai had not even drawn his weapon…
No one in the audience knew Su Xiaobai’s true strength, nor did they know his limits!
“My weapon is unfit for the stage, it can’t compare to the low-level divine weapon in your hand!”
Su Xiaobai chuckled lightly.
The golden-armored man held a rare low-level divine weapon, one that was extremely rare even in the entire human world…
However, it was not surprising since he had been the champion for three years, an exceptional genius deserving such treatment.
“Arrogant!”
The golden-armored man’s expression turned cold.
Not drawing his weapon was akin to looking down on his opponent… ‘Cheng Tianqian’ had never been so disrespected before!
In an instant, the halberd in Cheng Tianqian’s hand exploded with dazzling golden light!
At the same time, a phantom of a golden-armored war god appeared behind him.
“Dragon Tooth Slash!”
Cheng Tianqian dragged his halberd and violently charged at Su Xiaobai!
This strike was incredibly powerful.
Just the sheer aura of the long halberd almost broke the barrier formation, leaving the audience feeling the shocking force and momentum!
“Demi-God level power!”
Su Xiaobai’s gaze flickered, “Just in time. I can test how effective the ‘Blood Qi: Seventy-Two Forms’ I recently learned really is!”
In the past three days at Base No. 1, aside from breaking through his realm, Su Xiaobai had successfully reached the elementary level of the ‘Blood Qi: Seventy-Two Forms’ through the one-click practice space.
Though it was only at the primary level, he could already glimpse the power of a Great Transcendent-level blood qi technique!
“Withered Zen Iron Body Manual…”
“Ten Absolute Heavenly Body…”
“Crimson Gold Mountain Crusher…”
Su Xiaobai rapidly activated all the techniques that enhanced his physique, strength, and defense, including techniques of the golden attribute!
A powerful protective aura surrounded him.
At the same time, numerous avatars of the creators of the techniques appeared.
While Cheng Tianqian dazzled with brilliant golden light, Su Xiaobai was shrouded in a deep, dark golden glow that illuminated everything!
“Blood Qi Seventy-Two Style · Blood Hands!”
Su Xiaobai’s body exploded with a smoky blood aura.
The blood qi enveloped him, transforming him into a killing god, seemingly returning from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
His hands, wrapped in blood qi, turned into fierce, demonic blood hands!
The long halberd and blood hands clashed with a deafening boom—
Boom!!!
An overwhelming force erupted, as if a missile had exploded, instantly creating a massive crater on the martial arena!
The invisible shockwave relentlessly impacted the barrier formation, causing it to ripple and tremble as if it might shatter at any moment.
“They’re tied?”
The high-ranking officials in the central viewing seats all displayed looks of astonishment.
No one knew Cheng Tianqian’s strength better than they did.
He had been ranked number one on the martial ranking for three years in a row.
In Base No. 1, he was said to be invincible under the martial gods!
Even the top-level martial commander of the Demi-God army was likely not stronger than Cheng Tianqian… Only an Demi-God-level councilor could potentially stand up to him.
Yet this outsider, who was an Ultimate Martial Commander, had actually tied with Cheng Tianqian!
This showed just how fierce the outsider’s strength truly was!
“It’s not a tie… That strike actually pushed Cheng Tianqian back!”
Meng Qianzheng spoke up.
His words stirred a great wave of excitement among the council members and legion commanders.
He, himself, had a look of immense excitement on his face.
A genius.
Another unparalleled genius!
This was a boon for humanity!
As the high-ranking officials were shaken, the fierce battle between Su Xiaobai and Cheng Tianqian officially began.
The deafening rumble echoed non-stop.
It felt as though missiles were exploding right next to the audience’s ears, with a shocking force that made the barrier formation tremble with a terrifying pressure, fueling the audience’s enthusiasm even more!
On the martial arena, the two figures had completely vanished.
Only brief flashes of their forms could be caught occasionally.
All the audience could see were endless gold and blood qi violently colliding in the barrier formation!
“My goodness… Sister Yan, this 668 is so strong!”
Nangong Yi, with her bun hairstyle, was stunned, her mouth hanging open, her bright eyes wide in disbelief, as if she had seen a ghost.
Beside her, Zuo Bingyan, though less dramatic in her expression, was still shocked, her eyes filled with astonishment as she stared intently at the battlefield.
This was the first time in years that anyone other than her had fought so fiercely against Cheng Tianqian!
…
“Mm? Has his attack power increased?”
“Also, his agility, defense, and strength… everything has significantly improved!”
“It seems like he’s still holding back some cards!”
After fighting for a while, Su Xiaobai noticed that Cheng Tianqian’s power had increased considerably.
At the same time, a faint blue glow appeared around Cheng Tianqian… If Su Xiaobai was not mistaken, this was one of Cheng Tianqian’s hidden trump cards.
“Xuan Yang Style · Sun Piercing!”
A brilliant light like the sun erupted suddenly, and the entire barrier formation seemed to suffer continuous damage, violently shaking.
Su Xiaobai braced himself and took the blow head-on, but his body was forced back to the corner of the martial arena, leaving deep grooves in the ground beneath his feet!
“Power techniques, and long halberd techniques!”
“As expected from the number one of Base No. 1’s Martial God Ranking, with just that last strike, he could easily defeat a Demi-God-level martial god!”
“It looks like all his trump cards are revealed now, and I fully understand my blood hand’s power… It’s time to end this.”
A smirk appeared on Su Xiaobai’s lips.
He flipped his hand, and the Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon (+7) appeared, its black glow flashing as he firmly grasped it.
[Sculpted Moon Azure Dragon] (+7)
