Bai Pu’s physical strength was indeed greatly depleted, and towards the latter part, when dealing with Laine’s magic, he relied solely on his willpower.
When Laine conceded, Bai Pu’s Fighting Qi was nearly exhausted, and he could only lean on his Great Sword to embrace his victory, along with...
The cheers and applause of the entire audience!
The Garrison students were very glad they hadn’t left early, witnessing this rare scene.
"Incredible, is he really just a freshman? I feel like he’s even more formidable than , a third-year student..."
"Of course, Fu Lei’s strength could possibly rival the veterans of War God Peak."
"Laine is also very strong... to be recognized by an Ancient Relic and to awaken the Divine Power of the Fighting Saint Dragon King!"
The crowd buzzed with whispers.
Laine gave Bai Pu a thumbs-up: "You’re amazing, I’ve never encountered such a... such a unique opponent."
He initially wanted to say "resilient," but felt it wasn’t polite, so he changed it to "unique."
The entire process was almost Laine attacking and Bai Pu taking the hits.
As the hits continued, Laine’s Fighting Qi was depleted, followed by taking the magic attacks...
But in the end, Bai Pu was not seriously injured, and instead, it was Laine who was nearly exhausted.
"Laine, how many layers has your Holy Dragon’s Jaw been unsealed to?" Suddenly, a voice ca through.
It was none other than Director Bosh Gajisen speaking.
Laine deeply respected this director and bowed, saying, "Director Bosh, the Holy Dragon’s Jaw is only unsealed to the first layer for now."
"Not bad, many who acquire Ancient Relics can’t unseal even one layer in their lifeti," Director Bosh said, stroking his beard. "When you unseal the second layer, even the second stage students of War God Peak won’t be your match."
A group of Garrison’s senior officials was stunned. Isn’t it a bit much to be praising the enemy, Director?
"Fu Lei, do you understand? You must not be complacent," Director Bosh earnestly advised.
Bai Pu was also taken aback; it seed the power of the Holy Dragon’s Jaw hadn’t been fully developed.
It made sense, Laine was probably the "World Protagonist" of the Advanced Spirit Realm, destined to at least be a Lord Level template character, how could he be ordinary?
Director Bosh stood up, his voice amplified by Fighting Qi, ringing clearly throughout the arena: "Today’s battle is worth all students’ serious study and reflection. Strive diligently! Your peers have already reached such levels of strength, what excuse do you have to be lazy?"
The words made many Garrison students lower their heads, while others quietly clenched their fists.
Afre smiled as he approached, personally helping Bai Pu off the field to rest.
"Dior Fulri, you really gave quite the surprise! When Laine activated the Holy Dragon’s Jaw, I truly thought we would lose."
Bai Pu received a notification ssage at that mont.
[Main Quest 2: Justification, Completed.]
[Your reputation at Garrison Warrior Academy has increased, current Reputation Level: Friendly (677/1000)]
[Deputy Director Afre’s Favor Level has increased, current Favor Level: Acquaintance (807/1000)]
[War God Peak Stage 2 student Munis’s Favor Level has increased...]
A string of Favor Level increasing ssages appeared, even so nas Bai Pu didn’t recognize. Clearly, this ti’s public performance was quite successful, and Bai Pu had made a strong impression in the supre sacred land of martial skills in the Demon Fighting World.
However, compared to these Favor Levels and reputation, Bai Pu valued the rewards for completing the S-level main quest more.
Afre didn’t keep Bai Pu waiting for long. Once back in the lounge, he imdiately retrieved one large and one small scroll from his storage ring.
"This is a Fighting Qi cultivation thod I obtained years ago while traveling in the Shadowland, called ’Jingtun Fighting Qi.’ Along with this cultivation thod ca two corresponding martial skill techniques, which I am also giving to you."
"Thank you, Mr. Afre."
Bai Pu knew that the additional martial skill techniques were likely extra rewards for the S-level difficulty increase of the main quest.
However, Bai Pu felt a bit dissatisfied.
If Afre had not gifted the martial skill scroll...
Then, as compensation for the increased difficulty, this ’Jingtun Fighting Qi’ cultivation thod might have been illuminated by the Spirit Realm Will and upgraded to a more powerful cultivation thod.
When Bai Pu received the scroll, the ancient book in his mind, [Advanced Guide], flipped anew.
[You have obtained the Fighting Qi Cultivation thod: Jingtun.]
[Fighting Qi Cultivation thod: Jingtun is rated A . Your compatibility with this thod is 75%.]
[Switching to Jingtun Fighting Qi, your basic priority will remain at (5). You will more easily comprehend the Devouring Mystical Arts.]
[Would you like to use the Inspiration Ball to imdiately learn the Jingtun Fighting Qi cultivation thod? If so, you will qualify for an upgrade to Level 7.]
Bai Pu chose no.
The smaller scroll docunted two Mystical Arts techniques: [Giant Devouring] and [Furious Slash].
Bai Pu then, equipped with his work-study student ID, went to the Secret Collection Hall.
Tom and Munis arrived one after another.
Tom had witnessed Bai Pu and Laine’s battle and had beco a sworn fan of Bai Pu.
As for his previous idol—his brother, War God Peak student Tokesen, he had already forgotten.
Munis had donned a different outfit, not her armor, but a noblewoman’s hunter attire.
Bai Pu’s gaze lingered for a mont on her prominent bust, long legs, and slender waist.
"Which Fighting Qi cultivation thod will you choose? I can help solve your doubts, but the Secret Collection Hall’s cultivation thods are quite ordinary. Don’t hold out too much hope," Munis said, noticing Bai Pu’s glance and smiling.
Bai Pu’s fingers grazed over each Fighting Qi cultivation thod.
[You have obtained temporary review access to the Fighting Qi Cultivation thod: Fierce Tiger.]
[Fighting Qi Cultivation thod: Fierce Tiger is rated B. Your compatibility with this thod is 49%.]
[Switching to Fierce Tiger Fighting Qi, your basic priority will remain at (5).]
[Since you have not acquired full ownership of this cultivation thod, you cannot use the Inspiration Ball to learn it directly.]
Bai Pu noticed a difference.
These Fighting Qi cultivation thods in the Secret Collection Hall, he could only borrow, not directly learn with the Inspiration Ball.
However, since he could review them, Bai Pu figured he could spend ti and effort to cultivate according to the thod’s techniques without issue.
Bai Pu flipped through, and when he ca across sothing particularly confusing, he asked Munis, who was by his side.
Not for nothing was Munis a second stage student’s elite at the War God Peak, a Lord level powerhouse; her brief explanations greatly enhanced Bai Pu’s overall understanding of the Fighting Qi cultivation thod.
After asking just a couple of questions, Bai Pu returned the [Fierce Tiger Fighting Qi] to the shelf.
With his ntal acuity, he had already fully morized the cultivation technique of the Fierce Tiger Fighting Qi.
And through collisions and comparisons with his existing [Blood Sea Shark Fighting] and [Jingtun] Fighting Qi cultivation thods, he sensed the distinctions among the three.
