Bai Xu Chang took two steps forward, then paused again, turning around to walk in front of Bai Xu Chang, looking at him and asking, "What is your name?"
"Very well, I am known as Lu Fei Fan, the extraordinary body of Myriad Worlds," he replied confidently.
"That's a good name," Bai Xu Chang said with a smile, though it was unclear whether it was sarcastic or dismissive; regardless, Lu Fei Fan felt little warmth in his words.
"Since you've helped me, don't blame me for not giving you a chance," Bai Xu Chang said as he scanned the battlefield. The bodies sprawled around him seemed to confirm his prowess without exaggeration.
"What chance?" Lu Fei Fan asked, unfazed by the other’s imposing presence.
"As long as you can hit me within three moves, I will give you a Snake Head," Bai Xu Chang declared with great confidence.
Lu Fei Fan squinted at Bai Xu Chang, who wore a playful yet indifferent smile, seemingly viewing Lu Fei Fan as a joke—a futile attempt against a stronger opponent. Perhaps he was merely indulging himself in playing with someone he deemed beneath him.
"Alright," Lu Fei Fan said without hesitation. He suddenly infused layers of Pulse Energy into his Fang Tooth Battle Blade. The surging Pulse Energy flowed from his body, transforming the unassuming blade into a shimmering silver weapon!
"Horrific Wave Slaps Stone!"
Lu Fei Fan's blade surged upward like a monstrous wave rising from the sea surface, sweeping toward Bai Xu Chang with an impressive force that echoed the sound of crashing tides. The air crackled around them, momentarily startling Bai Xu Chang; he hadn't expected this opponent to possess such formidable Knife Technique!
With a swift motion, Bai Xu Chang raised his palm. The white Pulse Energy swirling around his hand suddenly shifted to a pale blue hue before erupting forth from his grasp.
It formed an immense barrier that blocked Lu Fei Fan's improvised Knife Technique!
Bang!
The wave of energy dissipated, and the palm strike that resembled a solid wall suddenly vanished, leaving behind a sharp, acrid scent in the air from the brief explosion of light.
Yet neither of the two had moved from their positions. In reality, both had experienced some recoil, but they managed to absorb it. Lu Fei Fan shook off the residual Pulse Energy from his blade. The chaotic mix of Pulse Energy contained both his and Bai Xu Chang's; however, Bai Xu Chang's Pulse Energy was evidently more domineering. Still, Lu Fei Fan's Pulse Energy was remarkably strong and resilient, resulting in a stalemate between them.
Bai Xu Chang reassessed this peer of his age. Although Lu Fei Fan's strike lacked finesse, it already hinted at great potential. If Bai Xu Chang were to further breakthrough in his understanding of Pulse Energy and Knife Technique in the future, he would likely hesitate to meet such a strike with his Canaan Palm.
"Not bad. Quite interesting," Bai Xu Chang remarked sincerely for once. If Lu Fei Fan had known Bai Xu Chang well enough, he would have been taken aback by this compliment. As someone who was used to being praised, Bai Xu Chang never acknowledged or praised others lightly; earning his recognition required extraordinary talent.
However, Lu Fei Fan felt he was nothing special. He only wished to change his life through relentless effort, hoping that his father, who lay bedridden, would recover from his illness. This was his greatest aspiration at present.
"There are still two moves left!" Bai Xu Chang reminded him, though this time his tone was much more serious than before. Perhaps Lu Fei Fan's previous move had given him a new perspective.
Lu Fei Fan exhaled deeply and adjusted his stance. His Pulse Energy flowed clearly through his cells and meridians, feeling like warm currents coursing through his body, enhancing and optimizing his condition.
Bai Xu Chang waited for Lu Fei Fan's next move without any urge to draw his own weapon. The earlier technique, Horrific Wave Slaps Stone, had indeed surprised him; while it hadn't dazzled him, it had caused him to reevaluate Lu Fei Fan's strength.
Before he could fully return to his thoughts, a faint silver glow enveloped the area around him. Was this truly Lu Fei Fan's strength?
Lu Fei Fan raised his Zhan Dao; the blade gleamed as if coated in holy light and fell toward Bai Xu Chang without any embellishment. Bai Xu Chang dared not meet it head-on; the Pulse Energy emanating from that strike hinted at an extraordinary force. He sidestepped and unleashed his Canaan Palm imbued with immense Pulse Energy.
Boom!
Bai Xu Chang staggered back half a step. Although he struck Lu Fei Fan with his palm, he found himself pushed back by the force of Lu Fei Fan's body colliding with him!
"What is this..." Bai Xu Chang recalled how Lu Fei Fan had charged at him with great speed; that strike had merely distracted him—the real attack was the collision itself!
"Tie Shan Kao!"
Lu Fei Fan raised the back of his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had just taken a blow from Bai Xu Chang, and the searing pain made him bleed. Fortunately, it only disrupted his breath and did not injure his internal organs.
Bai Xu Chang wore a look of confusion, then thought for a moment before incredulously asking, "Is that... 'Tie Shan Kao' from the Military Combat Technique?"
Lu Fei Fan did not respond; he was already preparing for his third move. He hadn't managed to inflict any real damage on his opponent. Although his Tie Shan Kao had struck, he felt as if he had gained no advantage against Bai Xu Chang, who stood there unfazed like an immovable mountain. Lu Fei Fan had already expended seventy to eighty percent of his Pulse Energy.
It seemed he could only go all out for one final strike, but what technique should he use?
Lu Fei Fan felt a moment of confusion, but at that instant, something sparked in his mind, guiding him with a flash of inspiration. He seized that fleeting moment, and the chip in his brain vibrated, transmitting an astonishing power that filled his thoughts with explosive ideas.
A torrent of Pulse Energy surged from his body and rapidly flowed into the Fang Tooth Battle Blade in his hand. The Zhan Dao transformed into a shimmering spear of light rather than remaining a blade!
"This is... Vein Energy Visualization!" Bai Xu Chang remarked, raising an eyebrow.
"Take this spear!" Lu Fei Fan declared. As he spoke, the Fang Tooth Battle Blade in his grip morphed into a weapon crackling with lightning. The white light coalesced suddenly into a deep blue Pulse Energy glow, flickering and solidifying into a sharp energy spear!
This was the Vein Energy Visualization skill he had just constructed!
With an astonishing thrust, Lu Fei Fan launched the spear. Bai Xu Chang did not dare to underestimate it; he stepped back and drew his Tachi with a sharp sound. The air darkened once more as if dusk had fallen, and the black dog Tachi, Hei Lang, sliced through the air with deadly precision.
"Ban Ying!"
The two weapons collided—the tip of the blade meeting the tip of the spear—with an explosive burst of Pulse Energy that reverberated through the air. Dust and debris were swept away as two Energy Shields erupted around Lu Fei Fan and Bai Xu Chang. They clashed fiercely, each trying to engulf and tear apart the other. The struggle was evenly matched; neither could gain the upper hand. Surrounding vegetation and stones were reduced to rubble as they were caught in the chaos. Finally, with a deafening roar, a shockwave surged outward like a hurricane.
This powerful clash triggered the energy alarm system at Monster Base's Hunting Command Center, which blared incessantly.
Shangguan Biluo, feeling somewhat fatigued, arrived at the monitoring station with several subordinates who had also been busy day and night. She inquired about what was happening.
“Report, there seems to be a strong Pulse Energy explosion in the area…” The staff member in white attire reported, skillfully manipulating a light screen that he tossed into the air, where it quickly expanded.
The image became clear, revealing two swirling Pulse Energy circular shields that erupted violently, shattering the surrounding trees and vegetation. Then, a blinding white light obscured everything.
The video quickly refocused, showing two figures standing apart, both seemingly unwilling to make a move.
Shangguan Biluo recognized Bai Xu Chang among them, but the person facing him was unfamiliar to her.
“Who is that?” she asked, pointing at the figure opposite Bai Xu Chang, identified as Lu Fei Fan.
Her subordinate immediately began flipping through files but couldn’t find any information at first. Fortunately, someone familiar quickly brought over a thick stack of documents. After flipping through a few pages, they found Lu Fei Fan’s profile and handed it to Shangguan Biluo for review.
Shangguan Biluo scanned the documents with a furrowed brow. The profile indicated that Lu Fei Fan had lived an uneventful eighteen years, yet this year’s examination was notably different. He had first experienced the ocean Ferry being attacked by Sea Beasts, and now he was able to contend with Bai Family’s top talent, Bai Xu Chang. This was not to be underestimated…
She closed the file, pondered for three seconds, and then commanded, “Add him to the review list.”
Her subordinate immediately took action to comply. The review list consisted of those already under consideration; it included not just crazies but also individuals whose strength was unquestionable among this year’s candidates. Having even a few slots available in a list of only several dozen candidates was certainly better than having no chance at all.
Lu Fei Fan was unaware that he had been included in Shangguan Biluo’s review scope. He only felt that his body had reached the limit of Pulse Energy consumption and could no longer execute a fourth move. Thus, he stood before Bai Xu Chang, deciding not to force a confrontation.
Bai Xu Chang slowly sheathed his exquisitely crafted Tachi, his gaze towards Lu Fei Fan now more scrutinizing, devoid of the earlier arrogance and indifference.
Then he did something unexpected; bending down, he opened the Military Backpack on the ground and used the sheath to flick one of the two Snake Heads inside towards Lu Fei Fan.
With a quick motion, Lu Fei Fan blocked it with his Fang Tooth Battle Blade, catching the Snake Head with the blade’s body. He looked at Bai Xu Chang with surprise.
“What was that shot just now?” Bai Xu Chang asked as he slung the backpack over his shoulder and stood up.
Lu Fei Fan was momentarily stunned; he actually didn’t know what to call that shot. However, since the other party had asked, he couldn’t just come up with something on the spot. After thinking for a moment, the blue Pulse Energy left a deep impression on him, so he decided on two words.
“Deep Blue!”
“Deep Blue? Alright, I’ll remember that.” Bai Xu Chang nodded and then turned to leave.
As Lu Fei Fan watched Bai Xu Chang disappear over the horizon, a sudden explosion of blood mist erupted in front of him. He then fell to one knee, his Fang Tooth Battle Blade propped against the ground as drops of blood fell and stained the earth. After gasping for breath, he finally looked up towards the direction where Bai Xu Chang had vanished and murmured to himself, “Indeed, facing it head-on isn’t very wise…”
Meanwhile, Bai Xu Chang was walking through the forest when he suddenly stopped. His clothes began to rip apart as if sliced by some sharp blade, leaving him in a rather disheveled state. Once his upper garments had completely torn away, he frowned slightly.
“I was careless.”
He then tore off the remaining fabric and continued forward. In the sunlight, his bronze-colored muscular body was crisscrossed with various gruesome scars.
That was the best testament to his so-called prowess.
