Bai Shishi was teleported into the arena. Her long hair flowed, radiating extraordinary elegance, like a goddess descended from the heavens. Standing on the arena, the arena became even more prominent because of her presence, as if with her presence, the world would become beautiful.
Even though the Jiuzhou Conference was filled with prodigies and beauties like clouds, Bai Shishi was still the brightest star among countless beauties. Compared to her, other beauties seemed dimly lackluster.
When Bai Shishi appeared on the arena, Long Chen heard countless gasps of amazement. Clearly, the arena had shrunk, making it easier for people to see her. Upon seeing her, they were instantly amazed by her beauty.
Bai Shishi's beauty was beyond doubt, and she carried an innate nobility that made people fall in love with her, yet afraid to get close, afraid of being disrespected. That kind of aura was beyond words.
Opposite Bai Shishi was Lu Xiaoxian, the strongest member of the Dark Tiger Alliance. Back when Long Chen beat up the alliance leader outside Silvermoon City, Lu Xiaoxian just watched quietly, saying nothing, seemingly indifferent to everything.
Now, facing Bai Shishi, his gaze grew slightly complicated as he asked, "Why not Long Chen?" "
"Even if it's Long Chen, it doesn't matter. He doesn't like men." Bai Shishi said calmly.
Luo Xue and the others looked stunned. They hadn't expected the usually aloof Bai Shishi to say something like that—it was simply unbelievable.
Long Chen almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. He couldn't help but look at Lu Mingxuan beside him, his face full of contempt. This filthy woman had unknowingly tainted Bai Shishi as well. The old Bai Shishi was definitely not like this.
Seeing Long Chen looking at her, Lu Mingxuan giggled, showing her white teeth, and made a victory gesture at Long Chen, looking just like a cute little devil.
Lu Xiaoxian on the arena clearly didn't understand what Bai Shishi meant. He thought Bai Shishi didn't understand either, and said:
"If it were Long Chen, I would have let loose and killed him. I don't feel much sense of belonging to the Dark Tiger Alliance, but his humiliation of the Dark Tiger Alliance is an insult to me, Lu Xiaoxian, and those who humiliated me are already dead."
"Kill Long Chen?"
Bai Shishi suddenly smiled, but she didn't say anything. However, there was a hint of mockery in her smile.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
Golden runes appeared beside Bai Shishi, and the ground beneath her feet began to crack. From the cracks, dazzling golden light emerged.
Seeing those golden lights, anyone paying attention to Bai Shishi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. Through the cracks, they could see that everything below was gold ore, as if they were witnessing a world of gold.
Golden light shot out from the cracks in the ground, illuminating Bai Shishi and blending with the runes around her, making Bai Shishi look as if she had stepped out of a dream, looking so elegant and ethereal.
"Such pure gold power! This isn't bloodline power—it's pure gold power." Long Chen was secretly shocked. Bai Shishi's golden power was even more terrifying, and he had no idea what Bai Shishi's mother had done.
buzz buzz...
At that moment, light flickered on the arena as the countdown began. Lu Xiaoxian on the opposite side saw countless golden lights beneath Bai Shishi's feet and was startled, quickly forming hand seals.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, divine light trembled behind Lu Xiaoxian, and a massive black phantom appeared. At the same time, his entire body was enveloped in black power, and his entire aura suddenly turned cold and sinister.
"Dark Power"
Qin Feng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This was an extremely rare power, existing within legends.
"No, that's not the power of darkness, but rather a kind of Netherworld energy, which should belong to the aura of heroic spirits." Long Chen shook his head.
He was extremely sensitive to the energy of the underworld. Because of his relationship with Leng Yueyan and Ming Cangyue, he understood the aura very well and recognized it at a glance.
Luo Xue nodded and said, "Senior Brother Long Chen truly is knowledgeable and talented. That is indeed not the power of darkness, but a kind of spirit ritual energy."
The Dark Tiger Alliance worshipped the bones of the Dark Tiger clan, and it was said that the protection of the Dark Tiger clan had granted them divine power inheritance. The power activated by Lu Xiaoxian should be the power of the Dark Tiger.
His bloodline itself was also of the dark attribute, perfectly matching the power of the Dark Tiger, which was why he awakened the first-generation bloodline phenomenon. The power of the Dark Tiger actually unleashed astonishing strength within him. "Luo Xue explained.
"Roar!"
Lu Xiaoxian's eyes were bloodshot, and black hair had sprouted all over his body. Black energy filled his body, and within the strange phenomenon behind him, the black phantom emitted a tiger's roar, piercing through the formation and piercing deep into the soul, causing a tremor to strike down one's spine.
"The Dark Tiger clan are ancient divine beasts, possessing powerful soul power. Their bodies die but their souls remain undying, and they gain immortality through the power of faith. The ancient texts say this is correct—this voice travels through the river of history, carrying an ancient aura." Long Chen looked at Lu Xiaoxian and nodded. The world is vast, full of wonders. Many of the things recorded in the book are hard to believe, but seeing them in person is convincing.
"Buzz"
At that moment, the light screen on the arena vanished, and the battle officially began. Lu Xiaoxian shouted explosively, a bone knife appeared in his hand, and he swung it down at Bai Shishi.
The bone knife was as white as jade, like ivory, but when Lu Xiaoxian slashed down, patterns appeared on the blade, resembling those on a tiger's body—and the markings were actually black.
The black patterns appeared, endless black energy swirling. When the blade struck, it seemed as if the entire world was about to be split in two. The aura was terrifying.
Luo Xue and the others hadn't expected that the Dark Tiger Alliance would produce such a terrifying disciple, who could actually summon the power of the ancient Dark Tiger. They couldn't help but worry about Bai Shishi.
The disciples of Lingxiao Academy on the outskirts were extremely nervous, clenching their fists so tightly that it seemed that by clenching their fists here, they could help Bai Shishi with all their strength.
Facing Lu Xiaoxian's furious strike, Bai Shishi's expression remained calm. She slowly opened her jade hand and gently met the bone blade.
When Bai Shishi made this move, countless people exclaimed in shock—she actually blocked the bone knife barehanded.
"Boom!"
When the bone knife struck Bai Shishi's jade hand, there was a loud explosion. Suddenly, everyone's eyes stung painfully, and in an instant, they lost all their sight.
A golden light brighter than the sun shot straight into the sky, passing through the formation and covering the entire island, blinding everyone in an instant.
But soon, as people gradually adapted to the golden light, the world before them slowly became clear. Amidst the endless golden light, they saw Bai Shishi's ethereal, ethereal figure.
"What?"
When they saw the scene on the arena clearly, everyone cried out in unison.
