"Hey! Bai E—!"

"You promised to take me to eat 'delicious food I've never tried before'!!"

"I haven't even had a few bites of this 'good stuff' yet!"

"You brought me here—"

Bai Mo pointed to the dusty arena beneath his feet, then to the roaring crowd around him, and finally to Bai E, speaking each word with accusation:

"—You've come to eat 'braised pork knuckle'?!?"

The deafening roar almost lifted the ancient dome.

Bai E stood on the opposite side of the arena, stretching his limbs, his face bearing his signature cheerful smile, a blend of sunshine and fighting spirit, ignoring Bai Mo's accusations.

"Brother!" Bai E's voice cut through the noise, filled with undisguised excitement. "Delicious food? When can't we stuff that stuff into our stomachs?"

But this one—once it's gone, it's gone forever! How long has it been since we two brothers had a proper training session?

As if remembering something, he deliberately said to Bai Mo, "If Sister Xi Lian were here, she would definitely nag me about 'bullying' you again."

So… Bai Mo! Let me see just how much skill you've acquired in the past year! Don't disappoint me!

"Ketian's little tummy is still hungry!" Bai Mo tried to get the little foodie to join him as an ally.

"Tian isn't hungry! Tian wants to see a fight!" Tian, ​​sitting in the front row, was flushed with excitement, jumping up and down on her seat, waving her little flag with great enthusiasm.

"Go, Little White! Beat Little White down! Tian will buy you the biggest 'Lava Burst Cake' ever!"

She was clearly completely ignited by the atmosphere of the arena, and even began to "aid" the enemy!

They were clearly completely absorbed in watching the drama unfold, having long forgotten their original intention of "leading the way to a good meal."

A group of older viewers were gathered together, engaged in a heated discussion:

"Hey bro! Something's not right today. Why was the central area cleared out early?" A burly man with a thick beard asked, taking a swig of beer.

The other person next to him pointed mysteriously at the two people facing off in the arena, especially at the faint golden glow emanating from Bai E, which, even when restrained, could not conceal a trace of divine power:

"See that guy in the action-packed outfit, the one already holding a sword? That's a genuine Golden Descendant! The distinguished guest that Lady Aglaia personally greeted at the Holy City gates a few days ago! I heard he's someone of great importance!"

"As for the one on the other side, I don't know either. He's probably not simple either. But... who cares! Seeing such a battle of strong individuals is worth dying for!"

Chapter 28 Bai Mo: Can we even play this Savior if we don't nerf its stats?

Looking at Bai E, who was full of momentum and eager to fight, Bai Mo felt the last bit of helplessness in his heart turn into a raging battle.

Can't dodge it? Then...fight! His eyes narrowed, "I'm going to fight you, you arrogant brother! I'm going to fight you, you so-called savior!"

"Bai Mo, I'm about to go!" Bai E grinned, revealing his gleaming white teeth, and the warning had barely left his lips—

Bai Mo only had time to take a deep breath before the commands in his brain were issued like lightning:

[Agility Blessing]! [Strength Blessing]! [Precision Blessing]! [Spiritual Blessing]! [Energy Blessing]! [Endurance Blessing]! [Berserk Blessing]! [Tranquility Blessing]! [Guardian Blessing]! [Life Blessing]

...Layer upon layer of buffing auras instantly lit up and disappeared on his body, his physical functions were forcibly boosted to the limit!

clang--! ! !

A deafening clang, as if tearing the soul apart, rang out on the arena!

"So fast!" Bai Mo's pupils contracted sharply, alarm bells ringing in his mind! A sprint of nearly 100 meters in less than half a second? What kind of monster is this?

That golden figure seemed to tear through space itself!

The distance of nearly a hundred meters seemed to shrink to an inch beneath his feet. Before the afterimage of his dash had even dissipated, the long sword, gleaming with golden aura, had already cleaved before him with the power to split mountains and shatter rocks!

It was purely a primal, instinctive reaction! At the critical moment, Bai Mo slashed his longsword upwards at an extremely tricky angle, narrowly blocking the devastating blow!

An overwhelming force surged through the sword! Bai Mo felt his arm tremble violently, his hand go numb, and the hard stone bricks of the arena beneath his feet instantly cracked like a spiderweb!

He had no time to dissipate the force, and could only use the impact to slide backward as if his body had been hit by a heavy hammer!

"Tsk!" Bai E's fighting spirit burned even brighter. How could he possibly let go of this excellent opportunity to suppress his opponent?

"Too slow, brother!" he hissed, stomping his foot hard on the ground, causing it to cave in! The golden figure, like a persistent leech, instantly closed the distance!

The second sword strike was even more powerful and heavy than the first, accompanied by a shrill whistling sound as it slashed down at Bai Mo, who was still unsteady on his feet!

clang--! ! !

Another earth-shattering explosion! Sparks flew everywhere!

Bai Mo met the attack head-on again, but this time, he felt his blood and qi surging!

Unable to maintain his footing any longer, he was blasted away by the immense force, only managing to come to a stop at the edge of the arena.

"Cough..." A few drops of bright red blood flowed from Bai Mo's tiger's mouth, but he had only just felt a little uncomfortable when the healing spell that was always hanging on his body completely cured him.

He looked down at the longsword in his hand, where two glaring slits, one shallow and one deep, had appeared on the blade! Damn it! He couldn't fight head-on anymore, and this guy's sword was far superior to his!

"Bai Mo! Is this all you've got?!" Bai E immediately prepared to pursue again. He stopped in the center of the arena, his longsword pointing diagonally at the ground, his golden aura rising like a burning flame.

His voice carried a hint of dissatisfaction and even stronger provocation, "Can't you be serious! Don't make me look down on you!"

This is truly...terrifying... Bai Mo thought with a chill.

With so many blessings and the support of the folder, my physical abilities absolutely crush those of ordinary Golden Blood, although I'm still a long way from the threshold of demigod... But in those two head-on clashes just now, I was completely at a disadvantage?!

He looked at Bai E across from him, who resembled a war god descended to earth. He truly lived up to the prophecy of being the 'perfect golden descendant'... In less than a year, he had grown to such a monstrous level...

Bai Mo gripped the sword hilt tightly, his eyes sharpening. It seemed... it was time to get serious!

"Bai Mo! What are you daydreaming about! If you don't come soon, I'm going to..." Bai E had already started charging again. He wouldn't hold back.

"EX—!!!" Bai Mo roared as Bai E charged forward again, not releasing his true name, but rather using low-power activation!

Through the Oath of Radiance, the longsword in his hand suddenly burst forth with an incredibly dazzling, intense halo, like a miniature sun!

Pure light energy coiled around the sword, emitting a high-frequency hum!

The nicks on the sword seemed to be temporarily covered by the light, and the whole sword exuded a chilling aura of sharpness and solidity!

Unleash its full power? This arena would probably turn to ruins! We can't afford the damage! But using it to reinforce and increase output is perfect!

"Whoa—! My eyes!!"

"It's so bright! Did the sun fall down?!"

"Oh my god! Oh my god, my titanium alloy eyes are blind!"

A cacophony of screams erupted from the stands, and the front-row audience, caught off guard by the blinding light, burst into tears, covering their eyes and screaming in agony.

Even the audience in the distance were blinded by the sudden bright light.

Bai E, who had already rushed in front of Bai Mo, was the first to be hit! He felt a white blur before his eyes and could see nothing at all!

But his fighting instincts made him subconsciously infuse the sword with golden energy and parry in front of him.

Bai E suddenly exerted force with his feet and retreated rapidly without hesitation!

It wasn't until he had retreated several dozen meters that his vision barely returned. Bai E blinked hard at his sore eyes, looking at Bai Mo opposite him, who was shrouded in a soft yet still blinding halo of light, and couldn't help but curse:

Bai Mo! Looks like you've learned quite a few sneaky tricks in Janusapolis! Your damn sword almost blinded me permanently!

"A little trick?" Bai Mo's voice came through the halo of light, tinged with a smug smile. "Bai E, I have many 'little tricks'..." Before he could finish speaking...

Skill library! Long press! Select all! Give me a piece of your mind!

Composite High-Level Spell! Activate!

Purifying Flame! Pure white flames swept across the fan-shaped area in front like a tidal wave, burning away the filth!

Explosive Fireballs! Immediately following behind were dozens of basketball-sized, blazing fireballs, trailing trails of flame, hurtling towards the direction Bai E might dodge!

Burn to ashes! Several dark red, destructive pillars of fire suddenly rose from the ground!

Flame Tempering! The flames that filled the air were forcibly compressed and condensed into countless tiny flame needles, powerful enough to pierce through steel!

Light Degradation! A gentle yet highly corrosive holy light spread out, attempting to dismantle the aura defenses on Bai E's body!

Matter separation! An invisible force field enveloped the area, attempting to forcibly strip away the elements that constituted the White Calamity Armor and even the body!

Arcane Suppression! A powerful surge of energy rushed towards Bai Er like a tidal wave, attempting to disrupt his movements!

In an instant, half of the arena transformed into a skill inferno! Flames, holy light, and arcane energy intertwined, exploded, and eroded each other wildly! The dazzling light and violent energy fluctuations made the entire arena tremble!

Bai E: Σ(OдO|||)ノノ! ! ! Holy crap! What the hell is this?! Are skills free?!

Chapter 29 Bai E: Can this cheating system even be played without changing its mechanics?

Bai E dared not hold back in the slightest! The golden bloodline within his body erupted completely like a volcano, and golden flames soared into the sky!

Faced with this overwhelming sea of ​​skills with diverse attributes, Bai E demonstrated the terrifying nature of being a "numerical monster"!

There are no fancy techniques, just ultimate power and speed!

He was like an angry dragon weaving through raging waves, his figure so fast that it left countless golden afterimages!

Sometimes he would directly confront the explosive fireballs, shattering them with a single punch;

He narrowly missed the edge of the burning pillar of fire, the scorching heat making his hair curl.

The erosion of light degradation was forcibly pushed aside by his powerful aura; the force field of matter separation was violently shattered by his brute force.

The dizziness caused by arcane suppression was forcibly suppressed by his beast-like will!

"Roar—!!" Bai E let out a battle roar, enduring the grazed wounds from several fire needles, and charged out of a sea of ​​fire like a golden meteor. Although he looked slightly disheveled, his momentum only increased!

"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! Unbelievable!"

"It was worth it! It was worth it in my life! To be able to see such an epic battle!"

"Long live the Golden Descendant! This guy is awesome!"

"The betting has started! I want to increase my bet! I'm betting on the guy opposite! His skills are so cool!"

The audience went absolutely wild, the enormous roar almost lifting the dome off the building.

Tian was so excited that her face turned red, and her voice was almost hoarse from shouting, "Little White! Go for it! Burn his butt! Little White! Charge! Smash those fireballs!"

On the arena, Bai Mo watched as Bai E managed to break free from the sea of ​​skills, his eyes twitching.

Outrageous! Nothing happened?! It took a skill hit and is still alive and kicking? These stats... are way off the charts! He internally screamed: If this savior's stats aren't nerfed, is the game even playable?!

Bai E, who had just emerged from the sea of ​​fire and whose momentum was somewhat weakened, was equally alarmed as he felt his power rapidly depleting and the stinging pain from the grazes caused by the flame needles.

Holy crap! This skill casting speed, this precise coverage, this attribute combination... it's like a machine gun!

"Is Bai Mo cheating?!" He was internally screaming: "This mechanic... is it even playable without changing it?!"

One is all about stats: high HP, high defense, high strength, and high speed, capable of taking a lot of hits and fighting head-on!

It's all about mechanics, a sea of ​​skills, using every trick in the book: control, weakening, burst damage, flashbangs!

Bai E thought to himself: If I let him wear me down like this, I'll run out of energy and truly lose! I must finish this quickly! Close combat! One decisive blow!

Bai Mo thought to himself: Although the longer the fight goes, the better my chances of winning, but this guy's ability to close the gap is too strong. If he catches me off guard, I'm done for! I have to end this battle as soon as possible!

Their eyes clashed fiercely in mid-air, instantly understanding each other's intentions! Almost simultaneously, both prepared to end the fight immediately!

The golden aura surrounding Bai E was like molten gold, all compressed back into his body. His muscles bulged, and golden magma seemed to flow beneath his skin. A destructive power was brewing in his fist!

Beneath his feet, the solid stone bricks of the arena silently turned to dust!

Bai E: No, we can't use a sword. It would be bad if we hurt Bai Mo with a sword. Let's use our fists!

Bai Mo: No, we can't fully unleash the "Oath of Glory." I don't know if Bai E can handle it, but my wallet definitely can't. So we'll have to use that.

Bai E, like a burning golden meteorite, concentrated his power to the extreme at his fist. It tore through the air, carrying devastating force, and slammed down towards Bai Mo, who was inches away! This punch was enough to split mountains and shatter rocks!

However, just as the fist was about to touch Bai Mo's face—

A strange and incredibly precise spatial fluctuation instantly enveloped Bai E!

"Huh?!" Bai E felt as if the scene before him was being wildly distorted and spun, like water with a stone thrown in!

The intense sense of spatial disorientation caused him to instantly lose all sense of direction and balance, and even the power he had gathered became slightly disordered!

Before he could even recover from the dizzying sensation, a very familiar object, accompanied by wind pressure and a whooshing sound, rapidly enlarged in his field of vision!

That's... a knee?! Bai Mo's knee?!
