I Don't Want to Get Hurt, So I'll Max Out My Defense Chapter 1196

Chapter 1196: Chapter 1197: Top Expert 55 Open Chapter 1196: Chapter 1197: Top Expert 55 Open “Confound it all!”

“Brother Qiang, ruthless and taciturn–a matter for adults, where children should not interject. I'm speaking to your Family Head, where do you get off making such noise here!”

“Assessments are meaningless, to have me, a fierce warrior, is superior to having thousands of Divine Children and Saint Heirs. Blood Fiend Elder, what are you waiting for? Introduce me to the Sect Master!”

Li Xiaobai said leisurely, his imposing aura formidable.

Facing the Blood Demon's Giant Palm Seal without dodging or flinching, and emerging unscathed indeed had an imposing air, something cultivators of the same realm could not achieve.

The Blood Fiend Elder couldn't help but reassess this bald man. It wasn't anything special to resist the Blood Demon's Giant Palm Seal with his body; he could easily do it too. But if one only has Half-Saint Cultivation Level, that would be impossible.

“Fine, I will test you, to see whether you're genuinely capable or just playing tricks!”

The man robed in blood spoke sinisterly, and without observable movement, a skeletal giant claw suddenly emerged under his blood-colored robe, lunging at Li Xiaobai. Simultaneously, a blood-red Sin Value manifested above his head.

“Sin Value: 130 million!”

The giant claw was made of chilling white bone, spotlessly white like a gemstone. Before it even arrived, Li Xiaobai already felt an incomparable pressure, a strong sense of crisis engulfing him, making it clear this move was not a mere test; undoubtedly, had it been earlier, catching him would have meant certain death.

“Fifty-Fifty, activate!”

Li Xiaobai roared within his heart, stretching out his hand to meet the skeletal demonic claw descending from the sky. In an instant, a vast force surged from within him, enveloping his body and fiercely colliding with the bone.

Instantly, the whole region's ground dust flew about, the surface cracked, and massive ruts spread across the cultivation grounds of Hehuan's Sect. The previously indented empty pool at this moment was leveled to the ground, invisible shockwaves spreading out, turning the surrounding foliage into dust.

Elder Chen, quick-witted, pulled Meng Qi from the ground into the air, avoiding the aftermath of the clash.

In the void, the Blood Fiend Elder's expression changed; he could clearly sense the boundless force in the opponent's palm countering his own, undoubtedly, this was a strike from a cultivator of the same realm!

The force in the skeletal claw involuntarily increased, wanting to test the abilities of the bald man below.

Li Xiaobai maintained his posture, the power surging from within him growing even more vast, as if responding to the opponent's force, delighting him inside. Fifty-Fifty this skill was indeed reliable, as per the System's description it could withstand the opponent's palm strike without defeat, and not merely a fleeting contact; although the opponent was increasing the force to test him, it was still considered one palm strike, so Fifty-Fifty's skill continued to activate.

A torrent of fierce power continuously emerged within his body, matching the Blood Fiend Elder's force precisely–at no more and no less.

This, the Blood Fiend Elder naturally noticed, his hand's force gradually increased, transitioning from igniting one Divine Fire to igniting two Divine Fires' worth, yet still, he did not sense any fatigue from the opponent.

His face slightly changed; a top-level expert had come, his strength unfathomable. This was like arm wrestling with someone, drawing even wasn't much, but if no matter how much effort you exert, the opponent still matches you evenly, it's terrifying; it meant the opponent's power was far superior to yours, allowing them to control the outcome with ease–naturally, this was an analogy, as his cultivation was already near the peak of the Central Origin Realm, it was impossible for anyone to far surpass him.

One thing was certain: the bald man before him held the same strength and cultivation level as his, residing in the category of igniting the second Divine Fire.

[Attribute Points +50 million…]
[Attribute Points +60 million…]
[Attribute Points +70 million…]
[…]
[Attribute Points +100 million…]
As the force transmitted from the skeletal demonic claw continued to strengthen, the numbers on Li Xiaobai's System attribute panel also crazily surged.

In the end, it directly increased by one billion; was this the might of a Saint Realm expert? If he could fight with him a bit longer, reaching a small target of one hundred billion would be easily achievable. At this moment, he actually was reluctant to let go, even hoping that the Blood Fiend Elder would keep up the stalemate a bit longer.

After all, the System was very capable; regardless of how much force the opponent applied, it could handle it.

“He's actually a Saint Realm expert!”

“Why would someone with such skills mingle among cultivators of disciple level?”

Above the firmament, Elder Chen watched the breathtaking battle below, terrified. Such power could instantly tear her to shreds; had she actually scorned such a powerful expert earlier?

Speaking of which, if you're so strong, couldn't you just reveal your strength directly? Why must you follow along with junior cultivators?

Is it fun to be this intimidating?

“It is the Saint Realm, really the Saint Realm!”

“110 million Sin Value, only two million less than me, but only differing by two million Sin Value should rank similarly, within the top hundred. Why then do I have no impression of the name Bald Qiang?”

“Among the known Saint Realm experts, there seems to be no individual like him.”

The Blood Fiend Elder muttered to himself, a contemplative look in his eyes, suspecting that the other party was concealing their identity, actually someone he knew.

“Let's stop here, it's my oversight for not recognizing your true face, such an expert willing to serve our Blood Demon Sect is our sect's fortune. The day has grown late, how about you stay in our Blood Demon Sect for a while, and tomorrow I will introduce you to the Sect Master?”

The Blood Fiend Elder withdrew, the oppressive aura in the void suddenly dissipating, the skeletal demonic claw melting away like snow, transforming into specks of starlight vanishing in an instant.

“Fine, since Blood Fiend Elder says so, then I shall heed your words.”

Li Xiaobai nodded, speaking lightly, the force in his hand also disappearing in an instant.

It wasn't that he was skilled in withdrawing his force, but the System detected the opponent's power dissipation and revoked it accordingly; Fifty-Fifty's power was like Rootless Water, just floating on the surface temporarily, without any foundation, able to erupt in tremendous force when activated and also vanishing without a trace when dissipated.

Seeing this, the Blood Fiend Elder's assessment of Li Xiaobai rose even higher; he had withdrawn his force unexpectedly, yet the opponent managed to match him immediately, indicating his adept control over his own power, and furthermore, that palm was not his full strength.

There's no question, a top-level expert indeed!
