17: Chapter 17: An Easy Crush, Qi and Blood Pill

After speaking, Zhao Tianxing activated his S-rank Blazing Fire Spreading Across the Plains Talent.

His entire body enveloped in scorching flames, he directly charged forward, aiming straight for Zhou Bai.

"Pain, so much pain..."

Just as Zhao Tianxing was about to reach Zhou Bai, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his mind, as if invisible needles were pricking his brain.

Zhao Tianxing's steps immediately halted, and he let out a wail.

While Zhao Tianxing was still clutching his head and wailing, a fist imbued with domineering lightning power appeared in front of him without warning.

Zhao Tianxing's pupils contracted, and he instinctively tried to dodge.

"Bang!!!"

However, violent lightning power surged on the fist.

This lightning power instantly paralyzed Zhao Tianxing's entire body, and then he was sent flying with a single punch, utterly defenseless.

Xu Chao's body was sent flying more than ten meters, landing directly in a pile of garbage.

This sudden defeat stunned the surrounding Azure Bird Academy students.

"This... it ended too quickly..."

"Can a Top Ten student also be defeated...?"

"Zhou Bai, his Double S-rank Talent is so strong, he directly defeated a Top Ten student..."

"This... is this the first time a Vocational College Student has defeated a Top Ten student of the same rank...?"

After a moment, the surrounding Azure Bird Academy students spoke one after another, looking at Zhou Bai with an inexplicable expression.

Not far away, Xu Chao, who was recording, frowned slightly, his eyes filled with contempt as he looked at Zhao Tianxing.

He hadn't expected Zhao Tianxing to be so vulnerable, losing to a Vocational College Kid.

"He really shamed our Huo Yun University," Xu Chao thought to himself.

"However, this Vocational College Kid's lightning power and mental power are terrifyingly strong. He truly is that woman's younger brother..."

After a while, Xu Chao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking at Zhou Bai in the distance with a thoughtful expression.

"Such good things, you can come find me again next time, but the price won't be the same!"

Zhou Bai waved his hand and said to Zhao Tianxing.

After speaking, he turned and left, returning to Azure Bird Academy.

"Shocking! A Top Ten freshman was powerfully defeated by a Azure Bird Academy Vocational College Student..."

"I always said good Top Ten schools aren't worse than Vocational Colleges, but Huo Yun University is different; it really is worse than Vocational Colleges..."

"Who said Vocational Colleges have no martial arts prodigies? Zhou Bai, as a Vocational College Student, defied and defeated a Top Ten martial arts university student. From now on, he is our Vocational College students' god..."

Soon after, the students around the Azure Bird Academy entrance immediately took out their phones and posted on the spirit net, furiously typing on their screens, their expressions incredibly excited, as if it were New Year's.

"Senior Brother Xu Chao, I'm sorry, I shamed our school!"

After a while, Zhao Tianxing struggled up from the garbage pile and said to Xu Chao with a look of shame.

Compared to the physical pain, what made Zhao Tianxing more uncomfortable was the spiritual humiliation of losing to Zhou Bai.

He had given away ten million star coins, was severely beaten by Zhou Bai, and his reputation was damaged. Thinking of this, Zhao Tianxing felt a pang in his heart.

The words of the surrounding Vocational College students were like daggers, piercing Zhao Tianxing's heart.

But he had no way to refute them now.

"It's alright. Zhou Bai has Double S-rank Talent after all. Azure Bird Academy must have invested a lot of resources in him. It's normal that you can't compare to him now. However, you are a Top Ten student; you are destined to crush Zhou Bai in the future..."

"Once you enter a Vocational College, your future is doomed to be without hope..."

Xu Chao comforted him, his tone calm.

"Hmph, once my martial arts are accomplished, I will definitely get my revenge. By then..."

Zhao Tianxing clenched his fists, secretly hating in his heart.

"Senior Brother Xu Chao, why don't I find someone from my family to deal with Zhou Bai? This guy is just a Vocational College Kid after all, even if..."

Zhao Tianxing was still somewhat unwilling, then said in a low voice.

"Idiot, if you want to die, don't drag me into it. Find someone to deal with Zhou Bai? Have you forgotten who his sister is...?"

Hearing Zhao Tianxing's words, Xu Chao cursed angrily, his face full of coldness.

...

"This Zhao Tianxing is really a good person, eager to send me ten million star coins. With these ten million star coins, I'll soon be able to reach the third rank!"

Zhou Bai looked at the star coin balance on his phone, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Then, Zhou Bai quickly returned to Zhao Shiyu's dormitory and entered the spirit net.

The spirit net is the largest martial artist forum in Xia Country, containing various posts, videos, and information.

Inside, there is also the Martial Artist Alliance's mall, which has many cultivation resources, as well as some martial arts Breathing Techniques, Martial Skills, secret arts, and some courses, and so on.

After entering the mall, Zhou Bai immediately started browsing; the items inside were dazzling.

There were also top-tier Breathing Techniques, even S-rank ones, but the star coin requirement was extremely exaggerated, reaching hundreds of billions.

There were also various Martial Skills, from D-rank to S-rank, with prices ranging from low to high.

However, Martial Skills are considered core resources; even low-grade C-rank Martial Skills basically start at millions.

B-rank ones were already in the tens of millions.

The top martial arts universities, on the other hand, have their own martial arts libraries and a complete cultivation system, including academic credits, contribution points, and so on.

Martial arts university students can acquire top-tier Breathing Techniques and Martial Skills through various channels, using more suitable and convenient methods.

This is also why everyone is scrambling to get into top martial arts academies.

"Let's look at resources to improve Qi and Blood Power!"

Seeing the expensive prices above, Zhou Bai shook his head. After all, low-grade Martial Skills didn't hold much meaning for Zhou Bai.

Originally, Zhou Bai thought ten million star coins was a lot, but now it seemed somewhat little.

Zhou Bai clicked on the Qi and Blood section of the resources:

Flood Dragon Essence Blood, 300 million star coins/drop

red marrow potion, 80 million star coins/vial

blood nurturing pill, 20 million star coins/pill

...

...

qi and blood pill, 1 million star coins/pill

Various resources to enhance Qi and Blood Power appeared on the screen.

"qi and blood pill, I can only buy qi and blood pills!"

Looking at the dazzling array of resources, Zhou Bai felt helpless.

Ten million star coins was still too little.

Then, Zhou Bai immediately ordered ten qi and blood pills.

"For now, I should just focus on studying hard!"

After placing the order, Zhou Bai prepared to leave the dormitory to find Zhao Shiyu to study.

After all, Zhou Bai needed to accumulate learning points to learn S-rank Martial Skills and also improve his Qi and Blood and mental power. This studying couldn't be delayed.

"Junior Brother Zhou Bai, I'm at the library. Do you need me to come back?"

Soon, a message from Zhao Shiyu appeared on Zhou Bai's phone.

"Don't come back, just wait for me at the library!"

Zhou Bai's eyes lit up, his heart filled with anticipation.
