The Villain wants a sect full of maidens!

As the panicked contestants surrendered, Bai Lung lowered his arms and allowed the countless swords to dissipate.

His expression remained impassive as he observed their fearful reactions.

At the same time,

Ling hesitated for a moment before stepping forward once again, determined not to surrender despite witnessing such overwhelming power.

He simply couldn't let go of his love... How can he let someone else defy her purity??? Ling plans to fight till the end.

Huff!

He took a deep breath and focused on channeling his own energy into his twin daggers, which began to emit a faint blue glow in response.

" Tho, it seems I may not be able to defeat you, " Ling admitted in a small voice, meeting Bai Lung's gaze unflinchingly.

" but I won't go down without a fight," he adds with cold flint gleaming in his eyes.

With that declaration of his inner thoughts, he charged towards Bai Lung with renewed determination which doesn't allow him to lose.

All while,

The other contestants watched from afar, torn between admiration for Ling's bravery and terror at the thought of facing either him or Bai Lung in battle.

" This guy has the heart of a lion... "

" Indeed this guy has the heart of a lion but the mind of a donkey, "

" Pfft~ don't be like that, at least he is man enough to not back out, "

" Oh! Then how about you go and fight that unknown powerful young master, "

" haha! Sorry, but I do not identify as a man, I identify as a green mosquito, "

"..."

"..."

"Seriously? Stop barking and go fight that Young master, we have a huge number, we can easily beat him to death, "

" Good luck with that, but, I won't be joining, I am out of this match, "

" Suddenly I feel I am getting sick and dizzy... I will also head out from this side, "

---

With that, some retreated further into the shadows while others whispered amongst themselves about potential escape routes.

Among all this,

Bai Lung waited patiently until Ling was within striking distance...

Swoosh~

As Ling closed in, Bai Lung's eyes narrowed slightly.

Just as his weapons were about to collide, Bai Lung swiftly sidestepped and delivered a powerful kick to the side of Ling's knee.

Bang!

Swoosh~

" Arghh! " The force sent shockwaves through Ling's leg, causing him to crumple onto one knee with a pained gasp.

Despite this sudden turn of events, Ling refused to back down.

He gritted his teeth and pushed himself back up onto his feet, readying his daggers for another powerful attack.

Meanwhile, the other Daoists watched anxiously from the sidelines

Few of them were even hoping that Ling would find a way to overcome Bai Lung's superior strength and skill, while others feared what might happen if they continued challenging someone so clearly beyond their abilities.

However, a few of them were smiling slightly because they noticed this time; Bai Lung didn't use his instant death kind of martial art.

They guessed Bai Lung couldn't turn anyone into dust limitlessly.

Well, they had already anticipated it however, seeing Bai Lung's current action, they became more and more sure about it.

" it seems we have a chance to win, "

" Hoho! Indeed however let them two fight for now, we will go later on... "

" Wise said senior brother, let those two fight and exhaust themselves after that, we will strike, "

" hehe! indeed after that, I will make out with the most beautiful women in this land... "

" shut up, it's me who will make out with that bitch... You guys are just here in my story to lose, "

" Pfft! Shut up and die now... *launches attack at most brutal attack in human history at the guy above* "

---

E! E!

As Ling struggled to regain his footing, Bai Lung maintained a cool composure.

He knew that he could easily finish off the injured Ling if he chose to do so, but there was something intriguing about this young man's tenacity and refusal to back down.

It's fun to take it slow and steady like the ancient turtle said.

Sensing an opportunity for entertainment, Bai Lung decided to prolong the encounter rather than ending it quickly.

After all, watching these contestants squirm under pressure was far more enjoyable than simply dominating them outright.

Swish!

With a flick of his wrist, Bai Lung summoned forth several small orbs of energy that hovered around him like miniature moons revolving around planets.

Each orb pulsated with a different color; red, blue, green, yellow, and purple creating a mesmerizing display of light in the dimly lit arena.

...

" Impressive," murmured one of the onlookers.

" What kind of martial art technique is that... Who is this honorable one? This guy is too much magical and mysterious, "

" Indeed... Such profound magic art, I have never heard such things even in faith tale let alone witness it, "

" Damn first turning anyone into dust... Now some powerful orbs that can make anyone kneel under its pressure... Is that guy even a mortal? "

" Indeed, I also doubt that guy is an ordinary being, "

---

Meanwhile,

While the onlookers marveled at Bai Lung's display of power, Bai Lung glanced at them with a proudness in his eyes.

Whenever someone talks about his power, he feels great satisfaction.

On the other hand,

Ling seized up this distraction to launch another attack at Bai Lung.

Swooosh~~~

With a burst of speed fueled by desperation, he lunged towards his target with both daggers aimed squarely at Bai Lung's chest.

At that heart region.

However, just as his blades were about to connect, one of the colored orbs shot forward and intercepted the strike.

It felt like Orb had its own intelligence.

Baam!

The impact caused sparks to fly as metal met energy in a shower of brilliant colors.

Fwoosh~~

Ling stumbled backward from the force of the collision, barely managing to keep his balance.

He glanced up at Bai Lung with surprise etched across his face. He guessed; it seemed that these mysterious orbs possessed defensive capabilities beyond anything he had encountered before.

It may not seem like it but Ling has some good battle experience with fierce and dangerous beasts.

Huff! Huff! Huff!

As Ling caught his breath looking at him with sharp helpless eyes, Bai Lung smirked and gestured toward the floating orbs surrounding him.

" let's be honest, these are impressive, aren't they? " he taunted.

" Each one contains a unique elemental energy that can be used for both offense and defense... If you want, I can teach you, however, you have to beat me first, " Bai Lung uttered in his cold voice...

Hearing this,

Ling glanced at the glowing spheres warily, trying to discern any patterns or weaknesses in their movements.

Such things are totally new to him, he doesn't have the slightest idea of what the heck is he seeing.

It seems one sided match for him where they were all just victim to this guy. He could properly form a new plan at all, to attack Bai Lung.

Swoosh~ swoosh!

But before he could devise a new strategy, Bai Lung launched another attack - this time sending two of the smaller orbs hurtling towards him at high speed.

Swish~

Reacting quickly, Ling rolled out of the way just in time to avoid being struck by the first orb.

As he narrowly avoided being struck by the first orb. But reacting quickly, he managed to dodge a second one at high speed as well.

...

As Ling rolled away from the incoming orbs, he couldn't help but marvel at Bai Lung's seemingly endless arsenal of energy attacks.

Just how much Qi does this guy have? He wondered.

It was clear that Bai Lung was unlike anything he had faced before, rather than hand to hand combat or weapon fight, Bai Lung was only using spiritual attacks.

Bai Ling was like the immortals that he had heard in legends.

Those orbs... They were like an immortal art, something people like him could never learn.

As Ling caught his breath, Bai Lung smirked and once gestured towards the floating orbs surrounding him.

" Impressive, aren't they? " Bai Lung mocked.

Hearing this, Ling's grip on his daggers tightened as he gritted his teeth.

Even tho, he has received goodwill from Bai Lung, he can't stop thinking about killing him and feeding it to dogs.

This guy was simply too arrogant and self loving man in the eyes of Ling.

Without muttering anything, Ling unleashed all of his qi into his dagger.

Since he is poor with no family background and also hasn't joined the sect, he doesn't have powerful spiritual martial arts techniques.

He has to rely on his fist and weapon.

His dagger began to glow with a deep red aura while his veins popped up.

It seems Ling wasn't saving a single bit of Qi, he was using all of it in this strike.

Seeing this, Bai Lung sighed.

Originally he had planned to let Ling win the competition and steal the woman at the last moment, but this guy was too stubborn.
