60: Chapter 6: Slaying Enemies with Dual Swords, No Regrets

"Old Lu, let it slide this time. But for the semifinals and finals, this won't be allowed again..."

A moment later, a mentor from Imperial Martial Arts University continued slowly.

"Of course. It was all Lin Yi acting on his own. I'll definitely make sure he doesn't act so willfully next time!"

The Vice-Principal of Tianbing University followed with a smile.

After he spoke, the expressions of the others softened considerably.

If Lin Yi continued like this, there would be no need for the matches; they could just hand him the award directly.

"Perhaps... Lin Yi won't have another chance..."

At that moment, a mentor from Soul Martial Arts University, eyes lighting up, suddenly spoke slowly.

Hearing this, everyone turned their eyes back to the arena.

"Zhou Bai, just surrender! You can't beat me!"

On the field, Lin Yi, who held the advantage, laughed loudly. Seeing Zhou Bai scurrying like a mouse under his Weapon Formation was an incredibly satisfying feeling.

"No, the one who loses is you!"

At this moment, Zhou Bai's speed broke past its limits once again, and an afterimage appeared beside Lin Yi.

"Hehe, without a weapon, how are you going to break through my Soldier Array Armor!"

Lin Yi's pupils constricted as he spoke coldly.

Although Zhou Bai lacked a weapon and his threat was greatly diminished, Lin Yi remained extremely cautious. He poured all his Qi and Blood Power into the Soldier Array Armor, maximizing its defense.

Suddenly, the Zhou Bai formed by the afterimage condensed golden lightning power in his right hand, which transformed into a golden thunder blade.

Gripping the golden thunder blade formed from Dutian Divine Thunder, Zhou Bai slashed directly at Lin Yi's Soldier Array Armor.

Because the thunder blade was a manifestation of Dutian Divine Thunder, the suction force of Lin Yi's armor was completely ineffective.

The sixth stage of the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber combined with the powerful Dutian Divine Thunder caused Lin Yi's Weapon Formation Treasure Armor to emit a violent humming sound.

Tiny cracks began to appear on the once seamless treasure armor.

However, at this point, the power of the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber had reached its limit and could not tear it any further.

"Hahaha! Zhou Bai, destiny is on my side! This blade didn't break my defense. Next, it's your turn to be defeated!"

Seeing that Zhou Bai's Nine Heavens Thunder Saber still hadn't broken his treasure armor, Lin Yi laughed wildly, his eyes filled with a sinister look.

Clearly, Zhou Bai's impact just now had frightened him.

"Who told you... there was only one blade?"

Zhou Bai slowly raised his head. His left hand suddenly condensed another golden thunder blade, and the sixth stage of the Nine Heavens Thunder Saber slashed toward Lin Yi once more.

"No!!!!"

Seeing the golden thunder blade appear in Zhou Bai's left hand again, Lin Yi's hair stood on end.

In an instant, the golden thunder blade in Zhou Bai's left hand struck Lin Yi again.

"Crack!!!"

With a violent tearing sound, the Soldier Array Armor on Lin Yi's body was instantly shattered. The powerful lightning force slammed into Lin Yi, leaving him charred and sending him flying.

"Beautiful! Another stunning comeback from a disadvantage! Student Zhou Bai manifested lightning, using dual thunder blades to shatter Lin Yi's dream of reaching the final four!"

"Let us congratulate Student Zhou Bai for crushing a powerful foe and forcefully stepping into the top four!"

Seeing Zhou Bai's amazing performance, the host couldn't help but cheer loudly.

"Incredible! God Bai is so cool! Those two slashes are enough to last me a lifetime..."

"If God Bai were not born, the Battle of the Dawn would be like an eternal night! Using a mortal body to shatter pay-to-win divine power—who else could do it?!"

"Even though I don't like Zhou Bai, those two slashes were indeed amazing..."

"Lin Yi is such a loser. He lost even with four sets of Weapon Formations. As expected, those who rely on weapons can't be trusted. If I had those four sets, I would have crushed Zhou Bai long ago..."

"Sigh, what was I expecting? Why did I ever expect Lin Yi to defeat Zhou Bai..."

A moment later, the audience in the Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena erupted into a thunderous roar, everyone cheering for Zhou Bai.

Even some of Zhou Bai's haters couldn't help but marvel at this moment; those two slashes were truly damn cool.

In the VIP area, the Vice-Principal of Tianbing University's face turned black as he watched the scene on stage.

Lin Yi had lost even with so many Weapon Formations; he had completely disgraced Tianbing University.

At this thought, the Vice-Principal of Tianbing University flicked his sleeves and left...

"Phew, this Lin Yi was indeed troublesome!"

On the stage, Zhou Bai, who had exhausted a great deal of energy, let out a soft breath of turbid air.

After Shen Ninger had her fill yesterday, she had told Zhou Bai that Lin Yi would have multiple sets of Weapon Formations and that Zhou Bai's weapons might even be rendered useless.

So, Zhou Bai came up with this method: manifesting thunder blades from Dutian Divine Thunder.

However, this consumed a massive amount of energy, and if it failed, Zhou Bai wouldn't have many more chances.

Therefore, Zhou Bai had been waiting for the right opportunity...

In the Magic Martial Arts prep area, Gu Qingyao, dressed in a white dress and looking pure and moving, stared blankly at Zhou Bai on the stage.

She hadn't expected that the boy who was once so close to her would eventually reach this step.

The top four of the Battle of the Dawn.

This was a height she could only dream of achieving.

Just with the honor of being in the top four of the Battle of the Dawn, even if Zhou Bai remained in a Vocational College, his future achievements would not be low.

"Qing Yao, are you..."

Shen Ninger looked at the dazed Gu Qingyao beside her and spoke softly.

"I don't regret it!"

Gu Qingyao bit her red lip and then spoke firmly.

"No, Qing Yao, I was saying, do you have a message? Your phone has been vibrating non-stop!"

Shen Ninger continued in a low voice.

Hearing this, Gu Qingyao quickly pulled her thoughts together, her expression becoming cold once again.

Then, Gu Qingyao took out her phone and clicked on the message.

"Yaoyao, did you see? That boy Zhou Bai made it into the top four of the Battle of the Dawn! See when you have time to bring Zhou Bai home for a meal; I haven't seen him in a long time..."

A gentle and familiar female voice came through...

...

"Next, we will announce the draw results for the top four battles!"

Ling Xiao of Imperial Martial Arts University VS Xiao Yu of Huo Yun University

Chu Lingyan of Imperial Martial Arts University VS Zhou Bai of Azure Bird Academy

"The top four battles will continue tomorrow at the Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena. Everyone, please look forward to tomorrow's great battles!"

Before long, the host on the stage announced the draw results for the top four.

"Imperial Martial Arts University has two in the top four; they still have a strong foundation. If Qin Hao hadn't lost, having three in the top four would have been truly invincible..."

"Damn... that kid Zhou Bai drew a good lot again. After today's battle, Chu Lingyan is seriously injured, and her strength is barely ten percent of what it was. This kid is really going to coast his way into the finals..."

"What? Is there a problem? Was the battle Zhou Bai fought today not a tough one? Facing four top-tier Weapon Formations, who else could say they'd win for sure..."

"Compared to Zhou Bai, I'm more looking forward to Ling Xiao from Imperial Martial Arts University. I want to see if that Xiao Yu from Huo Yun University will withdraw from the match tomorrow..."

After the draw results were out, the surrounding audience discussed them one after another.
