Douluo Continent: The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? A Soul Beast Pagoda!

Chapter 72 Jiang Li'er's Shock

He concluded, "They are all unique and beautiful in their respective fields. To compare them is like asking which is more beautiful, the sun or the moon. They are two different kinds of ultimate radiance, and it is impossible to simply judge which is better."

As Xue Di listened, her earlobes flushed slightly, though her face remained aloof. She picked up the spoon with a steady hand, lowered her head to continue drinking the soup, and her lips curved upwards almost imperceptibly.

Hyotei raised an eyebrow, looked at Jiang Bai, and pursed his lips.

However, every word of this conversation reached the ears of Jiang Li'er at the next table.

Sun and moon? Ultimate radiance?

Is Qian Renxue really that important to him?

A strange feeling, mixed with resentment and competitiveness, began to grow and linger in her heart.

She abruptly put down the menu in her hand and stood up.

"Li'er?" Bi Ji looked up in confusion.

Jiang Li'er did not answer and walked straight to Jiang Bai's table.

She walked to Jiang Bai's side, crossed her arms, and looked down at him. Her exquisitely beautiful face and her crimson eyes appeared exceptionally sharp at that moment.

"Then what do you think?" she began, her voice clear and slightly provocative, "who is prettier, me or your girlfriend Qian Renxue?"

"???"

Jiang Bai raised his head and looked at the stunningly beautiful face in front of him, which was both unfamiliar and strangely familiar. He was momentarily at a loss.

Who are you?

"My name is Jiang Li'er." Jiang Li'er raised her chin slightly. "Do you dare to have a fight with me? The rules are simple: if you lose, you have to admit that I'm prettier than Qian Renxue; if I lose, I have to admit that Qian Renxue is prettier than me. How about it?"

"???"

Jiang Bai was even more confused.

What is this all about? A competition out of nowhere, conditions that are completely out of the blue?

Moreover, in my conversation just now, I only said "Sister Xue'er" and did not mention her full name!

unless----

Jiang Bai carefully examined Jiang Li'er.

He had a guess in his heart, but his face remained expressionless.

"This competition is meaningless." He shook his head, his tone calm. "Beauty is like drinking water; only the person drinking knows whether it's hot or cold. Why insist on determining who is better? Moreover, it's absurd to use the outcome of a battle to decide such a subjective judgment."

He looked at Jiang Li'er and said, "But you, did you run away all by yourself? Aren't you afraid that if you were discovered and targeted by some powerful humans with ulterior motives, the consequences would be unimaginable?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Li'er's crimson eyes narrowed slightly: "You—you recognize me?"

At this moment, Bi Ji also silently got up and walked behind Jiang Li'er. Her gentle but wary gaze fell on Jiang Bai and also swept over Xue Di and Bing Di beside him.

Xue Di put down her spoon, her icy blue eyes narrowed slightly as she looked at Jiang Li'er with interest, a faint smile playing on her lips.

An imperial auspicious beast with three golden eyes—I never expected to encounter it here.

The aura of destiny and vibrant life force emanating from this little fellow is an irresistible temptation for any soul beast.

We need to find a way to get back to the far north.

"Just a guess." Jiang Bai gave a vague answer, nodding. "I won't accept the kind of competition you mentioned. But—"

He abruptly changed the subject, a glint of fighting spirit flashing in his eyes: "If you really want to fight me and see who's better, I'd be happy to oblige. After dinner, let's find an open space in the suburbs and have a proper spar. How about it?"

Jiang Li'er stared into Jiang Bai's eyes and saw calmness, confidence, and a hint of helplessness and tolerance, like an elder looking at a naughty child, in those deep eyes.

That look annoyed her a little, but the suggestion of a fight suited her just fine.

"Okay! It's a deal!"

She readily agreed, turned around and returned to her seat with Biji to order food and eat, but her gaze would occasionally drift towards Jiang Bai.

Xue Di then asked Jiang Bai in a low voice, "Do you know her?"

His tone was inquisitive.

Jiang Bai smiled and said, "I guess you could say we know each other."

Upon hearing this, Xue Di did not press the matter further, but her gaze lingered on Jiang Li'er for a few more moments.

After the meal, Jiang Bai paid the bill and left the restaurant with Xue Di and Bing Di, heading towards the mountain area outside the city where they had been cultivating some time ago.

Not long after, a streak of light flashed across the sky, and Bi Ji, carrying Jiang Li'er, landed lightly in this familiar desolate mountain area.

Jiang Li'er nimbly leaped onto a relatively flat open space, her crimson eyes gleaming in the moonlight.

"Let's begin!" Her clear voice echoed through the valley.

As soon as she finished speaking, an aura of nobility and majesty rose from her body.

As golden light swirled, her body was covered with a dazzling armor that looked as if it were cast from gold and glass.

Her hands transformed into sharp claws covered in fine golden dragon scales, their tips gleaming with a cold light.

On his forehead, a faint vertical line appeared and disappeared, radiating a mysterious fluctuation of destiny.

Possessed by a golden dragon!

Four spirit rings, one yellow and one purple, rose up.

She extended her dragon claw, pointed at Jiang Bai who stood calmly opposite her, and said confidently, "Come on, release your three dragon beasts! Let me see if you've improved during this time!"

She knew about Jiang Bai's special martial soul abilities and had also seen what those three dragon beasts looked like.

A fire dragon, an earth dragon, and a wind dragon, all of which had only a thousand years of cultivation at the time.

Even if Jiang Bai breaks through to the Soul Master level, he will at most gain more thousand-year-old soul beasts, and his strength will only increase by a limited amount.

In her view, she possessed the bloodline of the Golden Dragon and her cultivation level was equivalent to that of a Soul King. She had a very high chance of defeating three dragon beasts that were at most four or five thousand years old!

However, upon hearing her words, Jiang Bai's lips slowly curled upwards, revealing a meaningful smile.

"As you wish."

He raised his right hand, palm facing up.

Nine-colored light flowed, and a nine-story glazed pagoda appeared in his palm, slowly rotating.

The next moment, Jiang Bai had a thought.

The pagoda shone brightly!

Four beams of light of different colors flew out from the tower and landed on the ground in front of him!

As the light faded, four enormous figures, carrying a terrifying pressure that made one's heart tremble, suddenly appeared!

Jiang Li'er's expression froze instantly.

Her crimson pupils suddenly contracted to the size of pinpoints!

Even Brigitte, who had been standing behind her and maintained a gentle and composed demeanor, couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly at this moment, her beautiful face filled with disbelief and shock!

A giant dragon, over ten meters long and covered in crimson scales, lay prostrate on the ground.

Its aura had reached the level of 50,000 years!

A colossal, earthen-yellow dragon, as large as a small mountain, had limbs as thick as pillars and thick scales covered with rock-like patterns. Just standing there, it gave people a feeling of earth-like stability and unshakability.

The soul power fluctuations it emitted were seventy thousand years old!

Slightly forward in the middle is a relatively slender wind dragon with a blue body.

Her aura is equivalent to forty thousand years!

What truly shook Jiang Li'er and Bi Ji to their very core was the largest one located directly in front of Jiang Bai, radiating a terrifying chill.

It stood there silently, surrounded by a visible icy blue mist, and the ground beneath it quickly froze into thick, solid ice that continued to spread outwards.

Jiang Li'er's hands trembled slightly uncontrollably.

She swallowed hard, her crimson eyes fixed on the ice dragon, her mind blank except for a single, frantically echoing voice.

"A hundred thousand years old—a soul beast?"

"How...how is this possible?!"
