Chapter 1357 The Mermaid: Her Beauty Shine Like the Tide (93)
But the competition ended very quickly.
Taming beasts naturally relies on the strength of the beasts; if a beast is controlled, its strength will be greatly reduced.
At first, it was the Flaming Lion that was attacking. But once Baili Chengzhou figured out his opponent's situation, he seized the opportunity to counterattack.
He drew his natal sword, and his sword energy suddenly erupted. The sword energy was extremely sharp, like an ice blade in the dead of winter. In just a few breaths, it cleaved through the Flaming Lion's protective aura. Before the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciple could defend himself, the second attack had already arrived.
The disciple was sent flying backward by the sword energy and crashed off the stage.
"Arena number twenty-seven, Baili Chengzhou of the Heavenly Sword Sect wins!"
As soon as the referee's voice fell, the entire stadium fell silent for a moment, then erupted in thunderous cheers.
"As expected of Senior Brother Baili! Innate swordsmanship, truly invincible!"
"Defeating the enemy in one move, this strength is probably unmatched even in the Golden Core realm!"
"The top spot on the list of prodigies is well-deserved!"
Amid cheers, Baili Chengzhou sheathed his sword, his white robes as pure as snow, still bearing that indifferent expression.
The competition between the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment realms is in full swing, with the disciples of the Thundercloud Sect performing remarkably well, and dozens already advancing to the next level. Meanwhile, the Golden Core realm arena is teeming with experts, making each match thrilling and exciting.
Li Guang's second match arrived as scheduled. Her opponent was a cultivator with a wood elemental root, whose attack power was not strong. Seeing that her opponent was polite and had a good attitude, Li Guang did not go all out. After a couple of exchanges, when the man realized that he could not defeat Li Guang and that Li Guang still had room to maneuver against his attacks, he simply conceded defeat and prepared for the next match.
"Li Guang from the Thundercloud Sect has won two matches in a row. If he wins five more, he will advance. It seems he has a chance to qualify for the secret realm."
"The disciples from the Thundercloud Sect who are participating this year all seem quite good, especially Lu Jinghong and Li Guang. If they were to face Uncle-Master Baili, I wonder who would win?"
"Is there even a question? Uncle Baili will definitely win."
The next match in Baili Chengzhou was in a quarter of an hour. He was still sitting in the area of the Heavenly Sword Sect. As a Golden Core cultivator, his five senses were very sharp, and he heard all the disciples' words.
His gaze fell upon Li Guang once more.
On the arena, Li Guang sheathed her sword and stepped down. Lu Jinghong stepped forward and gently tidied her slightly disheveled hair. She turned her head and smiled at Lu Jinghong, the coldness in her eyes instantly transforming into tenderness.
That smile was extremely irritating.
Baili Chengzhou felt a sharp pain in his chest, as if he had been stabbed hard by something.
He suddenly remembered that his wife used to smile at him like that, her eyes crinkling with tenderness.
But now, he seems to have forgotten her name, only remembering her eyes that were full of him, and her sweet, affectionate "husband".
Since cultivating the Path of Ruthlessness, Baili Chengzhou had erased that figure from his memory, so why did he think of her now?
"Mom! You're amazing!"
Li Yan and Li Yao had somehow squeezed to the front row, and when they saw Li Guang return, they immediately cheered and ran over.
Li Guang gently patted her daughter's head, her smile growing even more tender: "It's alright."
Lu Jinghong stood aside, watching the scene of his loving wife and filial children, a happy smile curving his lips.
This scene, witnessed by Baili Chengzhou, caused a slight crack to appear in his Dao heart.
If he hadn't met his master back then, he would have had children with his wife and lived a simple and happy life.
What exactly is the great path he seeks?
Is it to sever all emotions and become a cold sword?
still is……
He dared not think about it anymore.
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the distracting thoughts in his mind, turned around, and headed towards the arena.
