63: Chapter 63 Ning'er's Promise: The Great War Is About to Begin

"Zhou Bai, you've made it to the finals! You've really made it! You're just one step away from the championship!"

In the training room of Azure Bird Academy, Chen Jianghe spoke to Zhou Bai with immense excitement.

Inside the training room, Instructor Gu Chen also looked at Zhou Bai with gratification. He hadn't expected Zhou Bai to actually make it this far.

"Yeah, just one step left!"

Zhou Bai took a deep breath, a brilliant light shimmering in his eyes.

"Keep it up, Zhou Bai. No matter what the result is tomorrow, by reaching this stage, you've already succeeded!"

Instructor Gu Chen patted Zhou Bai on the shoulder and spoke to him with a smile.

"Zhou Bai, recruiting you was definitely the most correct thing I've done in my life. Our Azure Bird Academy is proud of you!"

Chen Jianghe also remarked with a face full of emotion.

Zhou Bai reaching this stage was truly a surprise to Chen Jianghe; it was something he hadn't even dared to dream of.

Now, the championship was right before their eyes...

"For the remaining time, you can make your own arrangements. If there's anything else you need, just say the word, and I'll get it for you immediately!"

Chen Jianghe continued to address Zhou Bai.

"There's no need. I just need to wait for tomorrow's match!"

Zhou Bai spoke slowly, his eyes also flashing with the sharp edge of confidence.

Although Ling Xiao had revealed dual talents and possessed impressive strength, Zhou Bai was no longer the same person he was before.

[Name]: Zhou Bai

[Level]: Fourth-Rank Martial Artist

[Talent]: Dutian Divine Thunder (SS), Psychic Power (S)

[Blood Qi]: 11,600 Cal (+)

[Spirit]: 2,820 Hertz (+)

He had patched up his shortcomings, entered the Fourth-Rank, completed the tempering of his six limb bones, and reached the peak of his strength.

Now, he was confident he could clash with any Fourth-Rank Martial Artist. Even against Imperial Martial Arts University's Ling Xiao, he feared nothing.

"Good, Zhou Bai. Then we'll look forward to tomorrow's battle!"

Chen Jianghe took a deep breath and spoke expectantly.

Afterward, Chen Jianghe and Instructor Gu Chen stopped disturbing Zhou Bai, letting him prepare for tomorrow's battle on his own.

After the two left, Zhou Bai and Zhao Shiyu enjoyed a peaceful and tranquil time in the training room.

The two of them unconsciously began studying together.

After four study sessions, Zhao Shiyu was a bit worn out and left the training room under the moonlight.

On one hand, Zhou Bai's strength was becoming increasingly powerful; on the other hand, Zhao Shiyu also wanted Zhou Bai to be in a better state for tomorrow's battle.

*Knock, knock, knock!!!*

A short while after Zhao Shiyu left, the sound of knocking came again.

"Senior, still can't bear to leave me?"

Zhou Bai smiled as he opened the door to the training room.

However, standing at the door was a pure and bright young girl.

The girl was wearing a white JK uniform with a reddish-brown pleated skirt, and her long legs beneath the skirt were clad in white silk stockings.

Combined with her twin tails, Zhou Bai's eyes instantly lit up.

"Ninger, why are you here..."

Looking at the twin-tailed girl in white stockings, Zhou Bai continued.

"Brother Zhou Bai, let me in. I have something to tell you!"

Shen Ninger spoke to Zhou Bai with a charming smile.

Zhou Bai didn't refuse and let Shen Ninger into the training room.

"Let me get full first!"

Shen Ninger smiled slightly as she spoke to Zhou Bai in front of her.

"Now that Sister Shiyu isn't here, Brother Zhou Bai can be a bit more daring..."

Zhou Bai's heart skipped a beat. This Shen Ninger was truly too seductive.

"I can't stand seeing someone go hungry. Let's go!"

Zhou Bai was a kind person after all, as he spoke to Shen Ninger.

The two then entered the quiet room within the training room.

...

Two hours later, Shen Ninger emerged from the quiet room with disheveled hair and untidy clothes.

Shen Ninger went to the mirror in the training room to tidy up her appearance, while also using a towel to clean her delicate face.

"Ninger, why..."

Looking at the girl before him, Zhou Bai finally couldn't help but ask.

Zhou Bai didn't think his charm had reached the point where a few interactions during the Selection Round would make a favored daughter of heaven like Shen Ninger completely fall for him.

Moreover, he already knew that Shen Ninger was from the Shen Family, a top-tier family in the Imperial Capital. They were a top-tier Martial Saint Family with immense power. Such a noble young lady...

"Brother Zhou Bai, aren't you happy like this?"

Shen Ninger asked Zhou Bai while arranging her beautiful hair.

"I am happy, of course!"

Zhou Bai said.

"I'm happy too, so isn't that enough? As for anything else, it's not important!"

Shen Ninger winked and spoke to Zhou Bai playfully.

Hearing this, Zhou Bai didn't ask further. He simply pulled Shen Ninger into a quiet embrace, feeling her charm.

"Brother Zhou Bai, about tomorrow's battle..."

After a long while, Shen Ninger suddenly spoke.

"What about tomorrow's battle..."

Zhou Bai tilted Shen Ninger's chin up and asked.

"If Brother Zhou Bai can defeat Ling Xiao, I can..."

Shen Ninger's face turned slightly red as she looked at Zhou Bai with a soul-stirring gaze and whispered.

"Can what?"

Zhou Bai asked while feeling her presence.

Shen Ninger slowly leaned closer to Zhou Bai and whispered into his ear,

"I can... let you possess me..."

Hearing Shen Ninger's words, Zhou Bai's eyes lit up. This little... she was truly exasperating.

"That's a promise!"

Zhou Bai said with full confidence and anticipation.

"Of course, I wouldn't lie to Brother Zhou Bai..."

Shen Ninger hugged Zhou Bai and whispered.

...

"Go for it, Ling Xiao! Let Imperial Martial Arts University achieve five consecutive championships!"

"Crush that Vocational College Kid Zhou Bai! Don't let those Vocational College guys keep bragging on our forum..."

"God Bai, keep it up! Show those martial arts geniuses from the Top Ten what a real genius looks like..."

"God Bai, become the new legend! We support you!"

The clamor around the Magic Cube Martial Arts Arena soared into the clouds.

Although the match hadn't started yet, the large screens in the martial arts arena were already playing highlights of Zhou Bai and Ling Xiao from the Battle of the Dawn on loop.

Both of them had defeated one strong enemy after another to step onto the final stage.

At this point, although there were still some voices of doubt, reaching this stage was already a legend in itself.

Those rumors and slanders could no longer stir up any waves.

Before long, both Zhou Bai and Ling Xiao arrived at their respective preparation areas.

From the moment they stepped into the preparation areas, the cameras began recording their every move.

On the large screens, both appeared high-spirited and calm, showing no signs of panic whatsoever.

Clearly, both had sufficient confidence in themselves for this battle.

"The two final contenders of the Battle of the Dawn have entered the preparation areas. The Final Battle of the Dawn is about to begin!"

"The two young geniuses are adjusting their states, preparing to face the challenge in their strongest form..."

The host beside the arena shouted passionately,

"Before the final battle begins, let's hear what their supporters have to say to the contestants..."

...
