After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 446 The Only Chance

Hearing Shen Xu's words, Bai Lu also felt that she was in the wrong, but she felt uncomfortable and had nowhere to vent her feelings.

"You know your own body. You rely entirely on Aunt Lan's healing breath to maintain your physical condition. The healing breath will only decrease with use. You still need to compete for a spot to enter the Thunder Pool Secret Realm in the Heavenly River Tide."

The Thunder Pool Secret Realm is fraught with danger, yet you wasted your energy on momentary bravado. How can I not be angry!

Bai Lu was furious at the thought that she had humbled herself to beg the sect leader to let her participate in the Heavenly River Tide, while he was busy elsewhere rescuing a damsel in distress.

Guan Bi's heart tightened; Shen Xu's perfectly normal state had completely surprised her.

"Miss, it's all my fault. I didn't think that much at the time."

"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile, and I won't gamble with my life. My key to defeating Zhou Tai was the power of water; I didn't use many other methods."

Bai Lu's gaze sharpened; he still remembered the scene when he was crushed by Shen Xu in the rock-paper-scissors game during the sword selection.

Looking back now, that guy was such a jerk. She was almost crying, and he didn't even give her a break.

"How far have you progressed in your understanding of water?" Bai Lu suddenly asked.

"I don't know either, but beating you shouldn't be a problem," Shen Xu said with a smile.

“You…” Bai Lu took a deep breath.

Haha, just kidding.

Actually, because I hadn't accumulated enough energy, breaking through to the Qi Sea Realm didn't significantly improve my Water Intent, but having enough Yuan Qi allowed me to unleash the full power of my previous Water Intent.

"You mean you could crush Zhou Tai with your water essence when you were in the Qi Condensation Realm?" Bai Lu asked, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"It wouldn't be accurate to call it a complete rout!" Shen Xu scratched his head.

"Actually, you don't need to be surprised that I easily defeated Zhou Tai. I just happened to be able to restrain him. I don't think I could beat anyone else."

After fighting Zhou Tai, he found that Zhou Tai didn't seem to have any powerful attack methods, and the Misty Thousand Illusions Sword Technique was not good at offensive attacks, while the power of the Six Waves was somewhat weak.

If it weren't for a stroke of luck, he might not have been able to break through Zhou Tai's Three Thousand Body Technique.

This made him want to master the Seven Waves as soon as possible in order to deal with more formidable enemies.

How can I learn the Seven Waves technique during the White Dew season?

"Your body still has many problems. Let's consider the Seven Waves matter after you've repaired your body with the Thunder Pool Liquid!"

"Is there still danger in cultivating the Seven Waves?" Shen Xu asked, frowning.

"To be precise, what you need to practice is not the seven waves, but the ten waves."

Even the sixth wave puts immense pressure on the practitioner's body, something I believe you can attest to.

If you blindly increase the number of layers of overlapping waves, this sword technique will eventually become a demonic martial art that kills a thousand enemies but also harms eight hundred of your own.

The solution to this problem lies within the Heavenly River Sword Pavilion.

"Ten waves, is the span that big?" Shen Xu fell into deep thought.

Bai Lu was right. Even after entering the Qi Sea Realm, his palms still felt numb every time he used the Sixfold Wave.

The seven waves might not be very harmful to his body, but given his current physical condition, he certainly couldn't withstand even higher levels of overlapping waves.

"This kind of opportunity should be extremely precious, is it really a good idea to give it to me?"

Shen Xu hesitated. He couldn't let this cause trouble for Bai Lu. There must be a suitable alternative in the Four Directions Sword Alliance.

"I will keep my promise to you. You don't need to worry about this matter. Just come with me to Tianhe Sword Pavilion."

However, there's one thing I need to remind you of. Although the conditions for cultivating the Overlapping Waves Sword Technique are very demanding, there are still competitors among the Heavenly River disciples, so you'll likely have rivals.

"Can only one person be qualified to study?" Shen Xu murmured.

"I believe you." Bai Lu's eyes revealed an unprecedented seriousness.

"Since Miss Bai trusts me so much, I certainly won't let her down," Shen Xu said with a smile.

"Then I'll be waiting for your good news." Bai Lu also showed a beautiful smile, and then looked at Guan Bi, who had been standing respectfully beside her.

"Shen Xu, you must be tired today. You can go back to your room and rest first. I have some things I want to talk to Guan Bi about."

"Alright!" Shen Xu glanced at Guan Bi and then left the two of them.

"How was your day?" Bai Lu asked casually, picking up her teacup.

"Very happy."

Why are you happy?

"I'm very happy when I'm with Shen Xu."

"You're not hiding your thoughts at all now."

"If Miss refuses to lower herself, and I continue to act aloof, I will only push Shen Xu further away."

"So, you're actually doing this for my own good after all," Bai Lu sneered.

"The person Guanbi cares about most is always Miss."

"What if I don't let you go to the Thunder Pool Secret Realm?"

"Someone has to make up for the mistakes my father made back then."

Since the Sword Master sent me to the Thunder Pool Secret Realm, it means that I am now capable of doing what my father could not do back then.

Aside from the young lady, that was my only mission.

"Even Uncle Guan couldn't do it after his transformation, so what makes you think you can? You'll die!" The teacup in front of Bai Lu trembled slightly, and ripples spread across the tea.

“I should have perished in the Milky Way with my father, but Miss and Madam saved me. It is time for me to repay Miss.”

"I won't allow you to gamble your life on a slim hope!" Bai Lu stood up, spilling tea on her dress without her noticing.

Guan Bi smiled and said, "Miss, you can't stop me. I think the sect's higher-ups have already agreed to let me enter the Thunder Pool Secret Realm."

“No one can force you to go to the Thunder Pool Secret Realm unless you agree!” Bai Lu stared into Guan Bi’s eyes.

"Miss, we've known each other for so long, don't you really understand why we can't be friends?"

"I don't need a dead friend!"

"Miss, why do you insist that I will die at Xuan Ting's hands?"

"If you don't believe me, don't you also believe the Madam and the Sword Master?" Guan Bi asked very seriously.

"They don't care about you at all. As long as you can rescue your father's remnant soul from Xuan Ting's hands, your life is not even a consideration for them!"

Even Shen Xu was part of their scheme, how can you trust their guarantees!

"Miss, don't you want to save Uncle Bai's remnant soul?"

"Of course I want to, but not at the cost of your life!" Bai Lu covered her head in anguish.

“Miss, I have no other choice!” Guan Bi walked up to Bai Lu and gently took her hands in his.

“Let Shen Xu go alone. He has great fortune and he also has items left by his mother to restrain Xuan Ting. There’s no need for you to go.” Bai Lu raised her head, her eyes flashing with madness as she looked at Guan Bi.

Seeing Bai Lu's somewhat dazed look, Guan Bi gently shook his head, "Miss, Madam has paved the way for you, you don't need to worry about your future at all."

I only have myself, and Xuan Ting is my only chance. Even if the end of the road is destined to be death, I cannot give up.

Otherwise, what would I use to stay by Miss's side?

Guan Bi revealed a carefree smile.
