414: Bombardment

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan was greatly astonished.

"No way, Junior Brother? I've also heard of that phoenix nirvana pill; it was your proudest creation when you won the title of Pill King. Are you willing to use it on a little girl?"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "After all, she's my Disciple; I must be responsible for her. In my heart, she's worth it!"

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "That's true. After all, she's your only personal Disciple. But even if the fight continues, the situation won't change at all; this kind of persistence is meaningless!"

Lu Xingchen chuckled, "It's not meaningless. I know what Xiao Xue's thoughts are; the outcome of this battle is not yet certain!"

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan was stunned.

The other Peak Masters who heard their conversation were also stunned.

Lu Dazhuang would certainly not speak without reason, but did Mu Ruxue really have a chance to win?

What kind of trump card did she possess?

They all grew curious.

The third colorless barrier shattered again, and Mu Ruxue once more spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her aura extremely weak.

Just then, a powerful Soul Power fluctuation erupted from within her body.

Feeling this fluctuation, both the Disciples on the arena and the Peak Masters on the high platform were greatly astonished.

"Realm Breakthrough! Mu Ruxue actually broke through during the battle; she's about to enter Late Spirit Realm!"

"Holy moly, Mu Ruxue is amazing! In just one year since joining, she has risen from Mortal Realm Great Perfection to Late Spirit Realm. I've never even heard of such rapid speed!"

"Mu Ruxue could contend with Senior Brother Mu Bai when she was in Spirit Realm Middle Stage. If she successfully breaks through, wouldn't she be able to fight back?"

"Fight back? What are you thinking? She can't fight during her Breakthrough. Mu Bai can easily beat her. In this situation, Peak Master Li Changbai should directly declare Mu Ruxue defeated, right? After all, a Realm Breakthrough is much more important than a new Disciple competition."

"It should be so. What a pity, I still wanted to see a Peak showdown between the two Prodigies!"

Peak Master Li Changbai thought the same. He glanced at Mu Ruxue, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and breaking through, then said to Mu Bai, "Mu Bai, there's no need to continue fighting. I can directly declare you the winner."

Mu Bai shook his head slightly and said in a deep voice, "No need, Peak Master Li. I came to the grand competition not to achieve a good ranking, but to spar with fellow Disciples and improve my combat skills."

"Since Junior Sister Xiao Xue has broken through, this battle becomes even more interesting. I am willing to wait for her to complete her Breakthrough, and we can fight again at the same Realm!"

Hearing this, Li Changbai was also surprised.

He had not expected this Mu Bai to possess such Heart-Nature, not caring at all about the ranking of the grand competition.

This child is not simple; a firm mind allows one to go further on the Martial Dao. No wonder he is a Disciple personally trained by Senior Sister Great Master!

Li Changbai amplified his voice with Qi and shouted, "The match continues! Mu Bai is willing to wait for Mu Ruxue to complete her Breakthrough before continuing the battle!"

Hearing this, everyone in the audience exploded.

"Holy moly, no way? Senior Brother Mu Bai is so bold? Isn't he afraid that Mu Ruxue will really defeat him after her Breakthrough?"

"Can't you tell? Senior Brother Mu Bai doesn't care about the outcome of the match at all; he just wants a hearty battle! Senior Brother Mu Bai's vision far exceeds our imagination."

"Powerful yet humble and polite, not taking advantage of others, not oppressing with power—he truly is the Senior Brother in the hearts of us new Disciples! After today, regardless of the outcome of the match, I will follow Senior Brother Mu Bai for life!"

"Follow for life? Does Senior Brother Mu Bai even care for you? Why not let me, with my 36D, win over Senior Brother Mu Bai!"

"36D? I didn't notice. What did you use to measure, sis? How about I help you measure?"

On the high platform, the many Peak Masters were also surprised.

Lu Xingchen looked at Liu Ruyan and chuckled, "Senior Sister Great Master, I didn't expect your chosen Disciple to have such a grand vision. I thank you on behalf of Xiao Xue!"

Liu Ruyan said softly, "I also didn't expect Mu Bai to make this decision. I usually only teach him Word Spirit arts, and nothing else. I can only say he is inherently kind. If you want to thank someone, you might as well thank Mu Bai directly!"

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly and chuckled, "That's true. After the competition, I'll give Mu Bai a small gift!"

The Spirit Qi between heaven and earth furiously converged towards Mu Ruxue, and her Soul Power grew stronger and stronger.

It took her a full hour to complete her Breakthrough and stabilize her Realm.

She then looked up and realized she was still on the arena.

"Huh? Didn't I already enter a Breakthrough state? Teacher didn't carry me away; I'm still on the arena?"

Li Changbai said softly, "Xiao Xue, you should thank that boy Mu Bai. He is willing to wait for you to complete your Breakthrough before fighting again!"

Hearing this, Mu Ruxue was greatly astonished.

"So that's how it is! Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle, for reminding me."

With that, Mu Ruxue looked at Mu Bai and said softly, "Senior Brother Mu Bai, your martial virtue is truly exceptional! Thank you so much! Although it was for a reason, if I really lost this match, Teacher would definitely punish me severely!"

Mu Bai chuckled, "I'm waiting for you to complete your Breakthrough before fighting, not directly admitting defeat. This match isn't over yet, and who wins or loses is still unknown!"

Mu Ruxue raised her eyebrows slightly and said softly, "In that case, I can only defeat Senior Brother Mu Bai. Don't worry, I'll be gentle and won't let you feel any pain."

Mu Bai smiled slightly, "Then come on!"

During her Breakthrough, Mu Ruxue absorbed the Spirit Qi between heaven and earth, restoring her Soul Power. At this moment, her Soul Power had returned to its optimal state.

However, her physical injuries still remained; the several mouthfuls of blood she spat out were not for nothing and would affect her performance.

But to reach the current situation, Mu Ruxue was already very fortunate.

"Word Spirit, Dustless Land!"

"Word Spirit, Curse Annihilation!"

"Word Spirit, Crimson Sun!"

The two almost simultaneously shouted these three phrases.

Two colorless barriers appeared around their bodies, then two black light waves simultaneously hit both sides, followed by the condensation of fireballs.

That's right, Mu Bai had also learned these three Word Spirits.

In terms of Cultivate talent, he was inferior to Mu Ruxue; his Realm advancement speed was not as fast as hers.

But in terms of understanding Word Spirit Power, he was not inferior at all.

And so, the two began a head-on clash on the arena.

Thousands of fireballs continuously blasted towards each other, most colliding and annihilating each other, while a few struck the colorless barriers, causing ripples.

Flames erupted on the arena, obscuring everyone's vision, and no one could see the process of their battle.

Of course, Li Changbai and Liu Ruyan could clearly perceive the process of their battle.

After all, their Soul Power had already broken through to the Heaven Realm, and their strength was considerably greater than others.
