I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense - Chapter 606

Chapter 606: Chapter 607 Professional Demonic Beast Substitute Fighter

The disciples of the various families watching the battle from below looked on with disdain at the scene unfolding on the stage.

The arrogant and insufferable fellow was actually scared stiff by the Qingfeng Wolf King’s fierce attack, so much so that he didn’t even make a move, as if he was just waiting to die.

It was surprising since they had been somewhat worried for a moment, but now it seemed like the guy was nothing more than someone who was all show and no substance.

But was that really the case?

The next moment, however, made everyone on the scene’s jaw drop. The anticipated spray of blood did not erupt, nor did heart-wrenching screams fill their ears. There was only the grating sound of metal clashing.

Everyone could clearly see that Li Xiaobai stood firmly in place, without moving an inch, allowing the Qingfeng Wolf King to frenziedly bite his neck, without the slightest hint of resistance.

Yet, the Wolf King’s biting didn’t inflict the slightest damage. The sharp teeth, still dripping with saliva, were visibly straining against his supposedly soft and weak neck, gnashing and scraping, but not even leaving a superficial scratch.

It was all in vain.

“How is this possible?”

“What’s going on here?”

“Not even a wolf king’s bite can pierce Li Xiaobai’s skin? Could it be that his flesh is even more sturdy and powerful than the wolf king’s?”

“Impossible, how could a human cultivator possibly possess a physical body superior to that of the demon race?”

Shock filled the eyes of the onlookers. Li Xiaobai’s performance utterly overturned their beliefs. This was not a small gap that could be bridged by a bit more cultivation realm.

If it was a huge difference in realms, operating cultivation techniques and spiritual power could keep the wolf king’s attacks at bay, but at that moment, there was not a trace of spiritual power fluctuation around Li Xiaobai, which meant that he wasn’t operating any cultivation techniques. He was completely relying on his physical body to withstand the wolf king’s sharp serrated teeth and managed to do so without a scratch.

Could there really someone in the world who had cultivated their physical body to such an extent?

After all, human cultivators do not possess any ancient bloodline power within their bodies. To forge their physical body to a significant degree is practically impossible.

But Li Xiaobai had shattered their deeply entrenched notions, right then, in their hearts, there was only astonishment.

On the stage.

Li Xiaobai felt the force on his neck and checked the Attribute Points panel in front of him.

[Attribute Points +3000…]

The wolf king’s level was a bit low, even its full-force biting couldn’t bring more Attribute Points to him.

“Xiao Jin, go down and assist Xiao Qing. Test this youngster’s limits. I didn’t expect such an exceptional talent to emerge from the human race. To think someone so young could achieve this, it truly surprises me.”

“I must see for myself what cultivation level this youngster has!”

The old turtle was also momentarily stunned. After all, the scene before him, oh no, before the turtle, was so shocking.

“Roar!”

A sharp roar intimidated all directions and, from the void, a golden silhouette descended from the sky, bringing with it a string of flames that reached for the heavens, swiftly encompassing Li Xiaobai within.

The billowing golden flames burned fiercely, the scorching heat churned, and the waves of heat swept across the stage, significantly raising the temperature of the arena.

“Xiao Jin’s flames are evolved from Metal Slaughter’s Qi. Apart from scorching, Metal Slaughter’s Qi also follows the flames to pierce into the body, destroying the meridians, making it a fight to the death.”

The old turtle narrowed his eyes slightly and said indifferently.

At this moment, within the flames, the sound of metal clashing was incessant, and the potent scent of the sofa, wrapped in Primodial Spirit Power, continuously eroded Li Xiaobai’s body.

Li Xiaobai’s eyes also narrowed slightly, a look of utter enjoyment on his face.

[Attribute Points +5000…]

The Golden-Winged Roc was still somewhat useful, its innate attack prowess brought about by its Bloodline Power was more fierce than that of the Qingfeng Wolf King, and the attribute points it provided were also considerable.

In just a few minutes, the System panel displayed tens of thousands more in attribute value.

In this way, the attribute points would soon approach the major milestone of nine million.

Within the rich golden flames, watching the Golden-Winged Roc peck tirelessly, and then looking at the Qingfeng Wolf King’s hysterical frenzy, Li Xiaobai nodded in satisfaction and said with a light laugh amidst the stunned and dazed eyes of the beast and bird, “Good, keep going, don’t stop.”

For the one-sided situation on stage, the family heads seated on the high platform were silent, for the discerning ones had already noticed the extraordinary nature of Li Xiaobai. His cultivation level was unfathomable, and he was merely toying around in the arena.

Merely revealing the tip of the iceberg already showcased such astounding abilities; it was hard to imagine what his true cultivation level was. Even among those in the Mahayana Realm, he should be at the very top, right?

Patriarch Situ was glad he had invited the seasoned big shots from Central Province in advance, as relying solely on a Half-step Human Immortal like the third in command could have indeed led to unexpected complications.

“Patriarch Ao, your family’s method of combat is indeed extraordinary,” one remarked.

“Yes, finding a safe spot to hide and letting the Demonic Beast fight the entire time, is this also a way to test a disciple’s strength?” another questioned.

“So the Beast Taming families fight like this in their daily lives, what an eye-opener…” another commented with a hint of sarcasm.

Many of the family heads couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene on the stage, poking fun in jest.

They could see that Ao Gou was very afraid of Li Xiaobai; therefore, he didn’t even entertain the idea of showing his face, relying entirely on the three Demonic Beasts to fight on his behalf, and even leaving the commanding work to the old turtle. This junior was truly taking it easy.

“Ahem, the wisdom of Demonic Beasts is also part of a Beast Tamer’s strength. Ao Gou’s actions surely have his considerations; gentlemen, we should just continue watching patiently,” defended Patriarch Ao, his face looking grim to the extreme. No one wanted their disciple to look so pathetic in front of everyone.

Hiding in the back was of no use at all, even entrusting the critical command to a Demonic Beast, what was the point of a Beast Tamer then?

What difference did it make from simply throwing a Demonic Beast into the arena?

That worthless son had lost all the Ao Family’s face today; he must be severely punished upon returning home and subjected to the strictest training!

On the stage.

The old turtle looked at the towering golden pillar of fire and mumbled to himself, “Such a big fire, it should have burned to ashes by now, shouldn’t it?”

“Ahem, Great Elder Xuan Ming, Li Xiaobai’s cultivation is deep and unmeasurable. I think it’s better to be cautious,” said Ao Gou, lying on the turtle’s back, his voice lacking confidence as he suddenly doused the mood with cold water, fearing the old master below might fly into a rage.

As expected, the old turtle flew into a rage upon hearing this.

“Rubbish! A turtle lives for a thousand years, but Great Elder has lived for who knows how many years, there’s no one in this world more cautious than the Great Elder!”

“Talking to me about caution, are you teaching me how to do things?”
