The Desire to Be Eternal
Chapter 32: Luck Against Heaven



Not just the audience. Even Du Lingfei felt a little jealous of how lucky Bai Xiaochun was. It was the same with Chen Ziang. The other four people who had reached the top 5 had all consumed a lot of energy. If they managed to obtain the empty marble, it would give them a little room to rest, which would be a great advantage for the rest of the battle.


Elder Sun looked at Bai Xiaochun and smiled, while Li Qinghou's expression remained the same as before.


Bai Xiaochun looked excited as the next round of fighting began. Du Lingfei's opponent was a ferocious disciple who often left the sect on missions to kill ferocious beasts, and the type of person who was used to seeing a lot of bloodshed. On the other hand, Du Lingfei's skill with Lightness-in-Heaviness was quite inspiring. Not only did it give him a powerful defensive ability, but he was also able to move at incredible speed.


The audience is completely focused on the match, and the occasional 'oohs' and 'ahs' can be heard. The two fighters were clearly in danger of being injured, however ..there was a certain voice that shouted, leading in cheers.


"Whoahs! What a good sword!


“See that reverse Dragon Tail attack! Oh no! Look behind you! Hurry up, look behind you!


"But rah rah!" Bai Xiaochun was completely sucked in watching the fight, to the point where he even started clapping at the crucial points. It was also not an act; he was completely impressed by Du Lingfei's performance, and now, he had forgotten that he was actually one of the competitors.


When Elder Sun saw what was happening, he coughed flatly. Li Qinghou's face was completely expressionless, but inside all he could do was shrug his shoulders. After all, Bai Xiaochun had already completed the assigned task.


Facing such a powerful opponent, Du Lingfei had no time for distractions. He focused completely for the time it took for the incense to burn, and after using Lightness-in-Heaviness three times, he finally gained victory.


However, he expended more than half of his spiritual energy. Sweating, he was just about to come out of the arena to rest a little, when he heard Bai Xiaochun backing him up. Then he thought about how difficult it was for him to get into the top 3, whereas Bai Xiaochun did it without any effort at all. Irritation rose up in his heart, and he wished he could blow it up with a powerful attack right then and there.


When Bai Xiaochun noticed that Du Lingfei was glaring at him angrily, he blinked a few times, feeling somewhat offended. Then he glared at him, which seemed to push Du Lingfei to the point where he could barely resist attacking.


Chen Ziang's next fight was a little smoother. However, he still struggled for the time it took half an incense stick to burn, and expended quite a bit of spiritual energy.


He also felt very envious of Bai Xiaochun.


"We now have the top 3. The three of you are Outer Sect .. celebrities." Elder Sun cleared his throat. "Please come to determine the battle order. This time, marble number three is considered as empty marble. Whoever takes it will go straight to the final game. " Older Sun waved his hand, causing the bag to appear once more.


Chen Ziang was the first in the line this time, and when he took out the marble and saw the number 'two' written there, he sighed and stepped aside.


Du Lingfei took a deep breath as he stepped forward. But then he stopped in place and turned coldly to Bai Xiaochun.


"You go first!" he said coldly.


Bai Xiaochun, who had been watching such an interesting fight this entire time, did not refuse. He reached into the bag as Du Lingfei looked on with a cold expression. Not only was he waiting to see what was about to happen, all eyes in the audience were on Bai Xiaochun.


Even Elder Sun and Li Qinghou stuck out their necks.


Being the focus of attention in this way caused Bai Xiaochun to feel a little embarrassed. In fact, he didn't even care much about which marble he pulled, yet when he finally let go of his hand, his eyes widened in shock.


Number three.


Bai Xiaochun looked back at Du Lingfei, coughed flatly, and said, "Um, hey, you asked me to leave first."


Eyes shone ferociously, Du Lingfei clenched his hands and looked at Bai Xiaochun with a kill. His chest rose as he took a deep breath; it seemed like he was about to explode.


Chen Ziang's eyes widened, and his jaw gaped. The idea of someone so lucky is beyond his imagination. Again ... Bai Xiaochun will miss the entire match.


When the surrounding disciples saw the marble in Bai Xiaochun's hands, they could not help but hold back. Instantly, a huge commotion occurred.


“He advanced automatically again! His name is Bai Xiaochun, right? How ... how could he be so lucky !? He got an empty marble twice in a row! "


“How shameless is this guy! He hasn't done anything yet, but made it to the final game …. "


“How could such a person possibly reach the final? Damn, if I was that lucky, I could do the same! ” Everyone is in an uproar, and the people who were eliminated from the previous competition seem very envious.


Elder Sun hesitated for a moment and then looked at Li Qinghou. Li Qinghou let out a long sigh; he had to admit that Bai Xiaochun was really lucky.


In Bai Xiaochun's mind, there was no reason for the crowd to react in such a way. Smiling awkwardly, he rushed out of the arena, standing outside with an embarrassed expression on his face.


"Ai. Anyway I plan to give up .. ” thought he, staring at the marble in his hand in disbelief.


Du Lingfei took a deep breath to suppress his extreme irritation. Gritting his teeth, he looked at Chen Zi'ang, simultaneously regulating his qi and clearing his mind. He had done his homework on Chen Zi'ang, and knew that he was a very strong opponent.


Chen Ziang smiled bitterly, taking a deep breath as he stared back at Du Lingfei.


After staring for a while, they immediately went into action. Almost instantly, booms and bangs began to ring. This is actually the most spectacular fight in the entire competition so far. Chen Zi'ang erupted with his full strength, going as far as disposing of some seeds, which he then catalyzed into an adult plant with attack power. When Bai Xiaochun saw him using his skills in plants and herbs in such a way, his eyes glittered.


As for Du Lingfei, he used Lightness-in-Heaviness to send his sword whistling through the air. After they fought for a while, he then produced a wooden sword, which swirled along with an ordinary flying sword, turning the battlefield into an even more spectacular sight than before.


Both of them could not continue using their trump cards for a long time, and quickly ran out of spiritual energy. The battle only continues to grow bitter.


Bai Xiaochun watched excitedly, whooping and shouting all the time.


The battle lasted for about an hour, until a huge explosion rang out as Du Lingfei pushed the wooden sword so hard it exploded. The resulting fragment was then pushed up by Lightness-in-Heaviness in a massive attack that Chen Ziang could not dodge. He was forced to retreat and ended up using all of his spiritual energy. Finally, he sighed and let out a sigh.


The surrounding Outer Sect disciples were quite impressed with the intense battle, and their eyes gleamed in admiration as they stared at Du Lingfei. They were now fully convinced of how amazing he was. As for Chen Zi'ang, his reputation had also increased due to the fight.


Elder Sun seemed quite pleased, and even considered making Du Lingfei a personal disciple.


At the same time, no matter how the competition ended, Bai Xiaochun's name would also definitely spread ….


As Chen Zi'ang exclaimed that he was conceding, Du Lingfei slumped in the middle of the arena, his face pale. He was swaying around in exhaustion, his spiritual energy was almost completely depleted. Taking a deep breath, he produced several medicinal pills that were directly consumed. However, he knew that the pill would only fill so much, and he could only fully recover by sitting cross-legged in meditation for a few hours. After all, he had just fought four battles in a row.


However, according to the rules of this type of competition, the disciples were not given much time to rest. After all, it was just a small-scale competition.


"Bai Xiaochun, get out of here!" Du Lingfei said through gritted teeth. His eyes gleamed with a ferocious light as he looked at Bai Xiaochun standing outside the arena. He wanted to take advantage of the little spiritual energy he had to defeat this damned Bai Xiaochun, who had entered the final match just out of sheer luck.


As soon as those words came out of Du Lingfei's mouth, everyone present turned to look at Bai Xiaochun, wanting to laugh at his misfortune. In their minds, even if Du Lingfei was tired, Bai Xiaochun had only achieved victory by chance, and he would be able to defeat him easily regardless of the situation.


Bai Xiaochun blinked a few times, then looked at Du Lingfei who was standing there unsteadily, and suddenly realized that he.


“This is when Bai Xiaochun finally became very famous. After I go there and use my Lightness-in-Heaviness, then everyone will be completely shocked. " Puffing his chest proudly, he walked into the arena, imagining the scene of everyone reacting in shock to his victory.


However, as soon as his feet touched, Du Lingfei's eyes flickered coldly, and he suddenly made a spell motion and pointed. Instantly, his sword floated towards Bai Xiaochun.


Brutal air emanated from the flying sword, sending an intense chill in all directions. Clearly this one attack was powered by all the spiritual energy that Du Lingfei could muster, causing the sword to emit tremendous pressure.


What was even more shocking was that Du Lingfei flew into the air behind the sword, almost as if he was going to join it and become one.


Explosions rang out as the sword sped towards Bai Xiaochun at a shocking speed, a speed that far exceeded the speed he used when fighting Chen Zi'ang. A piercing whistling sound echoed as it became a prismatic ray that bandaged Bai Xiaochun.


Everyone watching was completely shocked by the sword movement, and began to shout in shock.


"The Sword of Solitude, the Eternal Flying !!"


"I can't believe Elder Sister Du actually used that sword spell !!"


Elder Sun's eyes shone brightly, and Li Qinghou nodded. Both of them could tell that Du Lingfei had actually never managed to unleash this sword spell. However, at this point in the battle, when his spiritual energy was about to run out, he succeeded. Using his last bit of energy, he barely managed to unleash a sword spell.


"By putting everything on the line, he gained the enlightenment of a sword spell," said Li Qinghou, eyes gleaming with admiration. "This Du Lingfei is not bad. He seemed to be more suited to cultivating the Green Crest Peak. ”


All the disciples of the Outer Sect were completely shaken. Everything seemed to turn into a blur, except for Du Lingfei and his flying sword, which merged into a very clear image.


The sword whistled in the air, followed by the sword user, becoming a powerful attack. Du Lingfei looked exhausted, but his eyes shone with a sharp light. He was very confident that this sword move would secure his victory.


In almost exactly the same time that the sword flew and Du Lingfei approached Bai Xiaochun, Bai Xiaochun's disciples shriveled. A rumbling sound then echoed as all of his numerous defensive assets exploded out layer by layer, including the jade pendant and all of the talismans. At the same time, he flew backwards at high speed.


The flying sword was definitely not an ordinary thing, and it quickly began to pierce through the shield. It pierced through layer after layer, destroying all of the defensive shields until it completely reached Bai Xiaochun himself.


However, at that point, it didn't seem like much energy was left. Before it could actually stab him, it jammed. Even when he flew backwards, the sword kept its speed, it was possible to see the layers of leather clothes he was wearing.


When the spectators realized this, their jaws dropped, and they gasped.


"B-Bai Xiaochun ... has so many defenses !!"


"How scared is this guy? Is this really worth it? He actually used magic objects and talismans for a small competition like this? And on top of that he was wearing a leather suit!?!? ”


Du Lingfei's face was deathly pale as he watched Bai Xiaochun flee like a rabbit whose tail had just been stepped on. Not only was he moving at an incredible speed, his sword was also still stuck to his clothes. Gritting his teeth, he made a spell move and showed in an attempt to drag the flying sword back to him. However, he had so little spiritual energy that all he could do was make him tremble slightly.


He tried one last time, but even as he tried to circulate his spiritual energy, blood started to flow out from the corner of his mouth, and he staggered back a few steps, and he staggered back, where he stood staggered for a moment before falling down to sit on the ground. His face was deathly pale, and his spiritual energy was completely drained.


In his heart, he felt that it was a great injustice. He had fought so hard to get into the top 2, whereas Bai Xiaochun had barely done anything. In fact, he had not even used up his spiritual energy. His anger quickly turned into anger; gritting his teeth, he looked at Bai Xiaochun, hoping he could kill him a few times. In fact, if she had the energy, she would go and bite him.


Bai Xiaochun took a deep breath as he drove back and forth; he never imagined that Du Lingfei would actually use a movement like he did.


Unexpectedly, all of his defenses had been pierced.


"Fudge, luckily I thought clearly and wore eight leather jackets." He stared at the flying sword stuck on his shoulder. It is now completely devoid of energy, and is trapped quickly inside all layers of the skin. By the time it actually reached his skin, there was nothing left to push him further.


Furthermore, thanks to the Undead Skin, when it actually touched it, it did not even match a mosquito bite.


Afraid of lingering in his heart, Bai Xiaochun stared at the sword and then carefully pulled it out. Then he glanced at Du Lingfei, who was sitting there gasping for breath.


“ Elder Sister, you shouldn't throw away your treasures like this. Do you want this sword or not? If you don't want it, then I'll take it. " Seeing very happy, he stuffed the flying sword into his bag, then took out his own wooden sword. Just as he was about to launch an attack, the people in the crowd started screaming in fear.


Seeing Bai Xiaochun take his flying sword caused Du Lingfei's eyes to be shot with blood.


"You.." he said. Just as he was about to flip over completely, he fainted.


He was the second person in the competition to faint because of Bai Xiaochun.


"eeee? What did you faint for? ” Bai Xiaochun looked at the unconscious Du Lingfei, and then returned to his wooden sword. Finally, he shrugged his shoulders.
