69: Chapter 69 Perilous Battle in the Jungle, Two People in the Room

"Oh no, enemy!"

Seeing the dense fog around them, Zhou Bai's heart skipped a beat.

Then, Zhou Bai picked up Zhao Shiyu, activated Phantom Sky Travel, and fled into the distance like a shadow.

However, no matter how fast Zhou Bai was, the black mist followed him like a shadow, making it impossible for the two to escape.

Howl—

As Zhou Bai fled, a roar of a fierce beast came from within the black mist.

Then, several wolf-shaped fierce beasts formed from black mist flew out from all directions of the black mist.

The fierce beasts were still formed from black mist, but their faces wereferocious and they exuded a powerful oppressive aura.

Zhou Bai held Zhao Shiyu with his left hand, and his right hand, wielding the Dutian Divine Thunder, rapidly slashed out a thunder blade.

"Sizzle!!!!"

With a burst of domineering thunder, several Black Mist Wolf Beasts were instantly shattered by Zhou Bai's thunder blade, turning into fragments of black mist.

But after the Black Mist Wolf Beasts were dealt with, another roar echoed from the surrounding black mist.

Seven or eight Black Mist Wolf Beasts reappeared, rushing towards Zhou Bai with terrifying might and incredible speed.

Zhou Bai frowned slightly and once again used his thunder blade to slash at them.

At the same time, Zhou Bai's mental power surged out, sensing the surrounding mist, searching for a direction to leave.

Before long, after the seven or eight Black Mist Wolf Beasts were slain by Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai also found a slightly weaker spot in the black mist.

Zhou Bai made a decisive move and immediately charged towards this weak spot in the black mist.

Black Mist Wolf Beasts continued to charge from all directions, but they were all dealt with by Zhou Bai's thunder blade.

After more than ten minutes, under the extreme speed of Zhou Bai's Phantom Sky Travel, Zhou Bai and Zhao Shiyu finally left the black mist area.

After leaving the black mist area, Zhou Bai did not relax his guard and continued to cautiously survey his surroundings.

This place was far from the Bund, a dense mountain forest, deserted with only the rustling of wind through the leaves.

"Shiyu, we might have been set up!"

Feeling the atmosphere around them, Zhou Bai's expression turned grave.

The aura here was clearly very wrong.

And the flaw in the mist just now was a bit too obvious; Zhou Bai hadn't thought much of it at the time.

Now it seemed that the flaw was deliberately designed to attract him to this place.

"Clap clap clap!!!"

As soon as Zhou Bai finished speaking, a crisp round of applause broke the silence of the mountain forest.

"As expected of the champion of the dawn battle, truly sharp-minded!"

Along with the applause came a low voice.

Not far away, a young man dressed in black slowly walked over.

Beside the young man were several martial artists with faint spiritual light flowing around them, who were clearly several Golden Body Realm Grade Seven martial artists.

Seeing the young man and the five Grade Seven martial artists in front, Zhou Bai's heart sank to rock bottom.

He hadn't expected so many enemies; five Grade Seven martial artists and a person of unknown depth, all just to deal with him, a martial arts newcomer who had just broken through to Grade Four.

This was too much respect for him, the champion of the dawn battle.

"Who are you people? Zhou Bai is the champion of the dawn battle. If you dare to attack us, neither the University Alliance nor the Martial Artist Alliance will let you off!"

Zhao Shiyu looked at the many powerful individuals in front of her and said in a cold voice.

"champion of the dawn battle, hehe, it's just a game of make-believe among a bunch of kids!"

The leading black-clad youth sneered and said indifferently, "If I give you face, I call you Champion. If I don't, you're just a Grade Four trash!"

"Swish!!!"

As soon as the black-clad youth finished speaking, a phantom suddenly appeared in front of him.

The phantom suddenly solidified, transforming into Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai's right hand condensed a golden thunder blade, and at the same time, the sixth level of Nine Heavens Thunder Saber swiftly slashed out, directly at the black-clad youth.

All of this happened too quickly, completing its formation in an instant.

By the time the black-clad youth intended to block, Zhou Bai's golden thunder blade had already struck him.

A brilliant blue spiritual light shield spontaneously lit up on the black-clad youth's body.

"Bang!!!"

Although the spiritual light shield blocked the thunder blade, the power accompanying the thunder blade was too terrifying. It directly tore a gap in the spiritual shield, leaving a scorched wound on the youth's chest, and then he was sent flying.

"Xiao Mo, are you alright!"

Seeing the black-clad youth sent flying, a Golden Body Realm expert quickly came to his side and helped him up.

"Damn it... a mere Grade Four ant dares to injure me! Go, kill him!!!"

The black-clad youth, helped up, was enraged and then gritted his teeth.

The other four Golden Body Realm experts beside him heard this and immediately charged forward with fierce attacks.

Seeing this, Zhou Bai's Dutian Divine Thunder surged within him, ready to fight these guys to the death.

Zhao Shiyu, not far away, also had firm eyes, and her Qi and Blood Power surged within her.

"Boom!!!!"

However, before the four Golden Body Realm experts could charge forward, streaks of purple spiritual imprints suddenly appeared around them.

These spiritual imprints carried terrifying impact force, directly sending the four Golden Body Realm experts flying, crashing into large trees in the distance.

"Hmph, daring to go against my Zhou Lingyun's brother, you trash, have you eaten the guts of a bear and a leopard?"

Then, a cold voice rang out...

...

Twenty minutes later, in a luxurious room in Modu.

The room seemed to be on a high floor of a skyscraper, overlooking countless prosperous scenes and bustling traffic below from the window.

One could also see airships flying below, like meteors in the night sky, adorning this ancient yet prosperous city.

"Ling Xiao, why did you ask me to come here? To celebrate your second place in the Battle of the Dawn?"

In the room, Qin Hao looked at Ling Xiao, who was holding a wine glass with an arrogant expression not far away, and asked in confusion.

"Young Master Qin, you should know that for us Imperial Martial Arts University, second place is the biggest failure!"

Ling Xiao crushed the wine glass in his hand, gritting his teeth.

Clearly, Ling Xiao had not yet recovered from his defeat in the Battle of the Dawn.

After all, he was a student of Imperial Martial Arts University and carried the crucial honor of Imperial Martial Arts University.

"Second place is still better than me, who couldn't even make it past the elimination rounds!"

Qin Hao said indifferently, taking a sip of wine.

Although Qin Hao was displeased with Zhou Bai winning the championship, he also held great disdain for Ling Xiao.

After receiving so many resources and training from Imperial Martial Arts University, his performance in the finals was so abysmal, it was simply a disgrace to Imperial Martial Arts University.

If he had competed, the outcome would definitely not have been this.

Moreover, although Ling Xiao also had the surname Ling, he was not favored by the Ling Family, otherwise he wouldn't have come to Imperial Martial Arts University to study.

"Young Master Qin is joking. You just had bad luck. You underestimated that guy Zhou Bai a bit in the Selection Round. Otherwise, the Champion would definitely have been yours!"

Ling Xiao took a deep breath, then said sincerely to Qin Hao.

Hearing Ling Xiao's words, Qin Hao's expression softened a bit, and he felt that Ling Xiao, whom he had disliked, seemed much more agreeable.

"So, what do you want from me?"

After a few pleasantries, Qin Hao again asked Ling Xiao the reason for inviting him.

"You'll know soon. Don't worry, it'll definitely be something that makes you happy!"

Ling Xiao wiped the wine from his hand and then smiled at Qin Hao.

Qin Hao heard this and fell into thought.

"Wait, you... you wouldn't have found someone to deal with Zhou Bai, would you?"

Before long, Qin Hao seemed to have thought of something, then frowned and said.
