Chapter 026: The Exchange of Blows

Originally, there was no training ground inside the Time Villa.

But after Wang Bo renovated it, he added many things, such as a wine cellar, a processing plant, a swimming pool, a game room, a garden, a forest, a stone forest, and so on, including a training ground.

The training ground Wang Bo built was huge, larger than several Forbidden Cities combined. The reason for building such a large training ground was considering his own strength; every time he made a move, heaven and earth would split apart.

Especially in the later stages, his strength would grow stronger and stronger, and with a slight exertion of force, he could destroy a city.

That was why Wang Bo built the training ground so large.

By then, Wang Bo would continue to expand the training ground, but for now, as long as Wang Bo didn't go all out, the current training ground should be sufficient.

After the two arrived at the training ground, Wang Bo said to Xiao Bai, "Now, treat me as the National Preceptor and try to kill me."

Xiao Bai nodded, lowered her body slightly, and with a light tap of her toes on the ground, she instantly rushed in front of Wang Bo, forming her right hand into a sword finger and thrusting it at Wang Bo's throat.

Wang Bo, treating himself as the National Preceptor, naturally wouldn't use his steel body to bully others.

But he could use the spells that the young Daoist was proficient in.

Swoosh!

At that moment, a golden light descended from the sky, shooting toward Xiao Bai's arm with the force of a thunderbolt.

Xiao Bai caught the golden light in her peripheral vision and instinctively dodged.

With a crisp clang, the golden light grazed Xiao Bai's arm and nailed itself into the ground.

But before Xiao Bai could catch her breath, a sky full of golden lights descended like a violent storm, pelting down upon her head.

Xiao Bai quickly retreated, her movements agile, dodging the golden lights time and again with serpentine footwork, displaying extraordinary skill.

But Wang Bo shook his head and said, "If you keep retreating, how can you ever kill Taiyin Zhenren?"

Hearing this, Xiao Bai couldn't help but furrow her beautiful brows, but she had no choice; she could only keep darting left and right, evading the pursuing golden lights again and again.

These golden lights were far too troublesome—not only extremely fast but also astonishingly penetrating; if she was careless for even a moment, they would pierce her body and inflict severe injuries.

Xiao Bai was already exhausting all her strength just to dodge these swift golden lights, let alone counterattack.

Wang Bo couldn't help but say, "No good, Xiao Bai. As a divine beast like you, you're no match for Taiyin Zhenren."

Xiao Bai turned a deaf ear, her form flickering as she kept dodging.

The golden lights pursued relentlessly, grazing her body time and again before nailing into the ground.

Wang Bo continued, "Xiao Bai, do you know? The spell I'm using now is one that Taiyin Zhenren's disciple uses, and the strength I'm showing hasn't exceeded that disciple's limit."

Xiao Bai's mind wavered, and she slowed down by a beat; a golden light shot toward her head.

At the critical moment, Xiao Bai held her breath, focused her mind, and with a twist of her waist, she instantly moved left, dodging the golden light, but it still left a wound on her face.

A trickle of blood flowed from her face.

"With your current strength, you can't even defeat the disciple, so how can you beat the master?" Wang Bo was deeply puzzled, but his movements were not slow; he directed the golden lights to continuously strike at Xiao Bai.

Gradually, Xiao Bai was forced into a corner.

At that moment, the hairpin on Xiao Bai's head flew out on its own, piercing through layers of golden light and shooting toward Wang Bo's brow.

Wang Bo flicked his finger, sending out a Nine Yang sword energy that knocked the flying hairpin away.

But in that split second, Xiao Bai seized the opportunity.

Xiao Bai swayed, broke free from the golden lights, and charged at Wang Bo again. Wang Bo casually manipulated the sky full of golden lights to swirl back.

But Xiao Bai had a completely different idea; while dodging, she sent out ice blades one after another, knocking the golden lights away.

Wang Bo couldn't help but raise an eyebrow—this was... adapting to the rhythm.

If at the beginning Xiao Bai had been caught off guard and couldn't dodge at all, now she had grasped the pattern and could calmly avoid the golden lights while steadily approaching Wang Bo.

This growth was indeed astonishing.

But relying on this growth to kill Taiyin Zhenren was somewhat unrealistic.

Wang Bo waved his hand lightly, and the golden lights sped up just a tiny bit, making Xiao Bai look disheveled and once again fall into a disadvantage.

The steps she had taken to approach Wang Bo had to retreat.

But she didn't lose heart; instead, she raised her hand and grabbed at the void. The hairpin that Wang Bo had knocked to the ground flew up. Xiao Bai swung her arm forcefully, and the hairpin shot out with incredible speed.

In an instant, it reached Wang Bo's brow.

But Wang Bo was not surprised; he flicked out another Nine Yang sword energy.

However, Xiao Bai was multitasking—while dodging the golden lights, she also controlled the hairpin to evade the sword energy.

Wang Bo couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

Human potential was indeed limitless, and demons weren't far behind. Under such disadvantage, Xiao Bai's potential was being unleashed. This multitasking impressed Wang Bo.

Wang Bo flicked his fingers repeatedly, sending out sword energies—some domineering, some gentle—that sealed off the void, blocking the hairpin's flight path.

Under Xiao Bai's control, the hairpin dodged several times but was ultimately knocked away by a gentle sword energy. However, this jade hairpin was clearly very sturdy; even when hit head-on by the sword energy, it showed no damage.

As expected of a magical artifact.

Meanwhile, taking advantage of Wang Bo's focus on the hairpin, Xiao Bai finally rushed in front of him and struck his chest with a palm, releasing cold energy from her palm.

Wang Bo also slapped out with his palm, blocking Xiao Bai's attack.

A large hand and a small hand collided, producing a soft thud. Xiao Bai's face suddenly turned pale, and she flew backward like a willow catkin.

With this palm, Wang Bo used explosive and fierce true qi; though not as gentle as the Taiyin True Art, it had its own unique flavor.

Xiao Bai, unaware of this, naturally suffered a great loss.

But she forcibly pushed her magical power; almost the moment she landed, she flashed back like lightning. The knocked-away hairpin also flew back into her hand, and she thrust it at Wang Bo's throat.

Wang Bo extended two fingers and clamped down on the hairpin, preventing it from advancing a single inch.

No matter how Xiao Bai struggled, she couldn't harm Wang Bo in the slightest. This short distance had become an insurmountable chasm.

Taking this opportunity, Wang Bo pointed a finger at Xiao Bai's brow.

Xiao Bai had no choice but to abandon the hairpin and dodge Wang Bo's attack, but the golden lights came from all directions, fixing her in midair.

Seeing this, Wang Bo couldn't help but shake his head.
