574: Chapter 574 Rematch with Qin Ming, Defeated in Seconds!

Twenty-four strands of Dragon Qi!

It had to be said, with the spectacular scene produced by Fang Bai's resonance, everyone else was overshadowed.

Twenty-four strands of Dragon Qi baptized Fang Bai's body, and he immediately sat cross-legged to begin the Dragon Qi Baptism.

The Sword Saint raised his hand and waved, and strands of sword qi enveloped everyone to protect them.

Looking at these youngsters, the Sword Saint nodded slightly: "The future still depends on you."

Fang Bai endured the scouring of the twenty-four strands of Dragon Qi; every time they washed over him, his body underwent a transformation.

His meridians expanded, becoming even more resilient.

His physical body and soul were both sublimating at this moment!

This kind of improvement was a very pleasant surprise for him.

However, the only regret was that it did not meet the conditions to break through to become a Quasi-Saint.

The Quasi-Saint realm meant having half a foot in the Great Dao, and a Quasi-Saint of this civilization must sense the will of the great dao and receive its recognition before it would bestow the power of the Great Dao to condense a Dao Foundation.

Fang Bai was currently unable to sense the power of the will of the great dao.

However, after this Dragon Qi Baptism, it could at least allow his cultivation to reach Tenth Rank Consummation!

Three days passed in a flash.

Qian Ye and the others had finished their baptism; they had all received a massive boost, and while it wasn't enough to break through, their power had increased by at least thirty percent!

On the fourth day, the light on Tang Chao, Jin Jing, and Lei Ling had dimmed, indicating that they had all finished their baptism.

Opening their eyes, a powerful aura erupted from within the three of them simultaneously!

Lei Ling looked at his fist, his gaze somewhat fervent: "The improvement is huge!"

Especially for a body cultivator like him, the benefits brought by tempering the body were very obvious.

This baptism was worth half a year of bitter cultivation!

Jin Jing had also improved quite a bit; he looked toward Lei Ling and then toward Qin Ming, who was still practicing.

At this time, the latter was sitting cross-legged beneath a stone pillar, still surrounded by Dragon Qi.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but feel a bit envious.

This was the benefit of having more resonance; the tempering lasted longer, and the benefits received were greater!

There was also Fang Bai, but strangely, the Dragon Qi around Fang Bai had actually disappeared!

Everyone couldn't help but show expressions of doubt; clearly, Fang Bai had resonated with more Dragon Qi than any of them, so why was there no movement now?

The Sword Saint appeared in the area, glanced at everyone, and then said: "Those who have finished the baptism may leave."

Everyone nodded one after another.

Although they wanted to stay and observe how much the two had improved, there was no doubt that they were definitely stronger than them...

The Sword Saint sent the several people back to the Alliance.

Immediately afterward, he returned underground.

Another three days passed.

On this day, Qin Ming opened his eyes.

Hum!

Ripples undulated around him; that was his powerful aura!

Qin Ming looked at his body and said slowly: "The improvement is not small."

His current improvement was equivalent to moving from the early stage of the Peak Tenth Stage to the mid-stage!

Suddenly sensing something, he turned his head toward Fang Bai's direction.

The latter was currently in the middle of cultivation.

"Twenty-four strands... Senior Sword Saint, has he already set a record?"

The Sword Saint chuckled: "That is indeed true. After all, the highest number of resonances recorded was twenty-one; he has three more."

Qin Ming narrowed his eyes: "In other words, he has Quasi-Saint potential."

The Sword Saint shook his head: "This cannot measure whether he will definitely break through to Quasi-Saint, but... with this little fellow's talent, Quasi-Saint will not be his end point."

Qin Ming was silent for a moment, and then his gaze became determined.

He himself also had Quasi-Saint potential!

There was no need to envy others!

Another three days passed.

During these three days, Qin Ming did not leave but instead waited for Fang Bai to finish his seclusion.

He also wanted to see how strong Fang Bai had become.

And on this day, the light around Fang Bai completely vanished.

He slowly opened his eyes, a flash of clarity passing through them.

For him, these past few days had felt like a long time.

Fang Bai looked at himself and then smiled with satisfaction: "As expected of the Dragon Qi Baptism, the effect is indeed good."

It was his first time experiencing the Dragon Qi Baptism, and the benefits he obtained were very large.

Compared to ten days ago, he had now completed a transformation.

"How is it?"

A voice came over.

Fang Bai looked over and found Qin Ming staring at him, a hint of battle intent in his eyes.

Seeing this, Fang Bai chuckled: "Not bad. Do you want to have another fight with me?"

Qin Ming nodded: "Then let's have another fight."

He glanced at the surroundings and then said: "This isn't a place for fighting; let's change locations."

"No need for such trouble."

Fang Bai suddenly spoke, and as he spread his palm, a sword appeared in his hand.

The human emperor sword.

Since it was cracked by the Evil Demon Clan's Second Elder last time, Fang Bai hadn't used it again.

Now, after being nurtured, its blade had been restored to its original state.

"A quasi-saint artifact?"

Qin Ming narrowed his eyes: "You didn't use your full strength that day?"

Fang Bai nodded: "Indeed. I imagine you should also have a quasi-saint artifact."

Qin Ming hesitated for a moment and then took out a small dagger.

The dagger was blood-red and exceptionally sharp.

A small dagger that emitted the aura of a quasi-saint artifact.

Qin Ming looked at Fang Bai and said: "You didn't use a weapon that day, so I didn't either. However, it is a fact that I lost to you."

Fang Bai smiled: "Then make your move."

Qin Ming spoke: "This dagger is named the Netherworld Dagger; it has absorbed a massive amount of Netherworld Power and comes with its own Cold Baleful Qi. It is a lethal tool for an assassin!"

After speaking, he moved with a thought.

Swish!

That small dagger instantly stabbed toward Fang Bai!

Its speed was extremely fast!

Fang Bai raised his hand and lunged!

Clang!

Sword tip against dagger edge!

In the next second, that dagger aura was crushed, and the dagger was sent flying!

Fang Bai's figure disappeared again!

Qin Ming's pupils constricted: "So fast!"

He was about to strike, but in the next second, an absolute force suppressed him, causing his body to freeze for an instant.

In the next instant, a sword was pointed at the center of his forehead!

Qin Ming was dazed for a moment.

He hadn't expected that he would lose so quickly...

One had to know that he had also improved a lot!

Fang Bai withdrew his sword and then smiled faintly: "Just now, I only used fifty percent of my power."

Qin Ming's face darkened: "You're not joking, are you?"

Fang Bai shrugged: "Do I look like someone who would joke?"

Qin Ming was silent.

Then his gaze became somewhat complicated: "Are you a Quasi-Saint now?"

Fang Bai shook his head: "I'm still a bit short, but as long as I want to, I can break through."

Quasi-Saint!

With just one baptism, this guy had actually touched the threshold of a Quasi-Saint!

Simply ridiculous!

Qin Ming suddenly felt that his previous thoughts were wrong.

Fang Bai's talent and character far exceeded his own!

It was only because the other's realm was the same as his that he had been given that illusion.

Powerlessness.

This super-prodigy felt a deep sense of powerlessness for the second time.

The first time was because of his elder sister, Qin Wang.

Furthermore, Qin Ming had a premonition that Fang Bai was even more monstrous than Qin Wang!
