Dao Seed Immortal Lord

The other managers' expressions also changed one after another, their minds filled with turmoil and horror.

Even if Li Bai was born into a family of spirit plant servants, his spiritual root was very likely only a pseudo-spiritual root aptitude, which was a major flaw and defect.

However, Li Bai's successive performances, as well as the fact that the ancestral master statue bestowed its inheritance upon them, were enough to break their 'preconceived notions' about spirit plants and servants.

Many people's eyes were darting around, and I wondered what they were up to.

Yuan Hong, the steward, was also secretly surprised and whispered to his disciple Chen Hexian, "Why didn't you mention that this little guy's talent is so extraordinary?"

Chen Hexian was also speechless and shocked, and said in a low voice, "His usual performance is not bad, but it's never this exaggerated. I didn't even know he had mastered all the spells to perfection."

Yuan Hong didn't care; instead, he became more interested and said, "Tell me in detail about this little guy's usual behavior."

The two, master and disciple, were whispering to each other.

As Li Bai cast his spells one by one in the medicinal field, the perfect spells of the Perfect Realm caused the expressions of the first-grade low-level spirit plant masters who were watching him to change drastically. Their minds were stirred, their spellcasting rhythm was disrupted, and their magical power became somewhat disordered.

"What! This...this is all a perfected realm technique!?"

"How is that possible? He's just a guy at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm..."

"Impossible! Wow, how did he train like that!"

The plant cultivators were affected, their spellcasting rhythm was disrupted, and they almost destroyed the spiritual herbs they were testing. They were so frightened that they quickly regained their composure.

Unfortunately, even that slight impact has significantly affected their performance.

Coupled with Li Bai's blow, these plant cultivators were noticeably more dejected and frustrated.

Time passed second by second.

The allotted hour ended quickly.

The stewards in charge of scoring at the Spirit Plant Hall inspected the test fields of each disciple in turn. Before long, they arrived at the spirit field under Li Bai's charge and carefully examined the condition of each Azure Grass.

A moment later, all five judges gave their scores simultaneously.

A.

......

A.

Five A-grades!

This means that Li Bai got a perfect score of ten in this round!

The news caused an uproar.

"Five armored soldiers? This... how is this possible?"

"A mere Qi Refining Realm Level 2 kid actually got a perfect score in the first round?"

"The spells he used...were indeed at the pinnacle of perfection!"

"Hiss, such skill is rare among first-tier low-grade spirit plant masters."

Several favorites to win, including Zhao Yuanqi and Su Wan'er, also turned their attention to Li Bai, their gazes becoming more serious.

Soon, the scores for the first round of competition were announced.

Without a doubt, Li Bai is currently ranked first with a perfect score.

Following closely behind were more than a dozen veteran spirit plant masters and geniuses who also achieved four top-tier and one mid-tier ranking. Among them were Zhao Yuanqi, Su Wan'er, and others whom Chen Hexian had previously mentioned to Li Bai.

"The second round of practical combat begins." Everyone returned to the plaza, and with a wave of a manager's hand, two array-based combat platforms appeared in the plaza.

The rules of actual combat tactics are very simple.

After the first round, the top sixty players with the highest total scores will advance to the second round, where they will compete in pairs, with the winners advancing until the top ten are determined.

Li Bai scored full marks in the first round and naturally advanced to the second round.

Sixty people were drawn by lot and paired off to compete against each other. The winners advanced to the top thirty, while the losers were eliminated.

The rules are simple and straightforward, without any frills.

"Round 2, Match 1: Li Bai, yes, Zhou Kang."

The person in charge of the draw read out the match-up list.

Zhou Kang, a cultivator at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm and a first-grade low-level spiritual plant master, is about forty years old and has a thin face.

Upon hearing Li Bai's name, Zhou Kang's face changed drastically, turning deathly pale and filled with fear.

But with everyone watching, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

The two ascended the dueling platform.

The dueling platform was a temporary structure, paved with bluestone, and about ten zhang square. It was surrounded by a protective array to prevent the residual effects of the spells from spilling out.

Zhou Kang looked at the young man in his early twenties opposite him with a very unpleasant expression.

In the first round, he only got two A-level, two A-level, and one A-level lower-level, with a total score of just over eight points, ranking outside the top thirties.

Meanwhile, the young man on the other side got a perfect score in the first round, achieving ten A-level rankings!

With an opponent like that, what can he use to fight?

But the rules of the competition are there. You can admit defeat, but admitting defeat means zero points. With the total score from both rounds added up, it's hard to even make the top 30, let alone the top 10.

"I won't hold back." Zhou Kang gritted his teeth, staring at Li Bai. "If you know what's good for you, just admit defeat..."

"Boom!!!"

Before he could finish speaking, Li Bai unleashed a pseudo-Minor Wind and Thunder Technique with a wave of his hand.

Suddenly, a fierce wind arose and thunder rumbled.

The thunder seemed to explode right next to Zhou Kang's ears. The terrifying pressure of the heavens terrified him, causing him to lose his nerve. His heart seemed to leap out of his chest, and for a moment he felt suffocated. His face turned deathly pale, his legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, wetting himself in fear. He slumped to the ground, screaming, "Ah!!!"

Although the pseudo-Minor Wind and Thunder Technique has no offensive power, it possesses the might of heavenly thunder and can intimidate demonic beasts that steal spiritual herbs.

Similarly, it can also be used to frighten people.

The pseudo-Minor Wind and Thunder Technique at its perfect state possesses an extraordinary and terrifying power.

However, this was Li Bai's first time fighting someone, and he was quite surprised to see that his opponent was so frightened by the pseudo-Minor Wind and Thunder Technique that he collapsed to the ground and urinated. His expression was strange.

"This guy seems even worse than those guys from before." Li Bai was speechless. He was so scared that he wet his pants. He was, after all, a cultivator at the second level of the Qi Refining Realm.

This……

The expressions of the spirit plant masters watching the battle around them also changed, and many of them looked at Li Bai differently.

There was less disdain and more solemnity.

This pseudo-Minor Wind and Thunder Technique at the Perfect Realm... although it has no destructive power, its heavenly might is truly terrifying.

Under such overwhelming intimidation, even if they weren't so terrified that they collapsed or wet themselves, it was questionable how much fighting power they could still maintain.

"Li Bai wins," the steward announced expressionlessly.

Li Bai stepped down from the dueling platform, returned to the rest area, and sat cross-legged to recover his magical power.

Although only one spell was used and the energy expenditure was minimal, there are still many matches to come, so it is essential to maintain peak condition.

The two dueling platforms were used for the competition in succession, and soon the top thirty were determined.

My second opponent in the top 15 was a female cultivator at the third level of the Qi Refining Realm.

The female cultivator appeared to be in her early thirties, with a frosty expression. Upon stepping onto the stage, she didn't say a word, immediately forming hand seals and casting a spell. A spiritual sword materialized out of thin air and shot towards Li Bai: "You mere Qi Refining Realm Level Two, get down!"

Faced with this sword energy, Li Bai easily dodged to the side, and at the same time used the pseudo-Minor Wind and Thunder Technique again.

Rumble!

Thunder roared in the female cultivator's ears, and the might of heaven descended.

The female cultivator's body stiffened, and her spiritual sword went out of control and collapsed. However, she was stronger than Zhou Kang. Although her face was pale and her legs trembled slightly, she did not collapse.

"I...I give up," the female cultivator said in a low voice, biting her lip, unwilling to accept defeat.

The pressure from the pseudo-Minor Wind and Thunder Technique was too strong. Although she could barely stand, her mind was completely overwhelmed, and she was unable to cast spells normally. Her legs felt weak and powerless.

Rather than stubbornly accept defeat, it's better to admit it with dignity.
