Three consecutive wins!
Four consecutive wins!
Five consecutive wins!
Six consecutive wins!
Seven consecutive wins!
In seven consecutive victories, Li Xuanxiao displayed all his Martial Arts below the Origin Realm, gradually revealing even greater strength.
In the seventh match, he even used both Buddhist Dharma and Martial Arts!
As surging True Essence churned, a massive golden barge exuding an aura of compassion materialized before everyone's eyes!
This unexpected move not only made his opponent's eyelids twitch and his face show horror,
but the spectators below were also shocked one after another!
"Am I seeing things? This kid is a Buddhist cultivator too?"
"What the hell? Someone like him, a ruthless killer, can cultivate Buddhism?"
"His Martial Dao is profound enough, but to reach such a level in Buddhist Dharma too—this guy is not simple..."
They had seen Buddhist Dharma before, but Dual Cultivation of Buddhism and Martial Arts?
They truly had never seen that!
After all, Buddhism preaches universal equality and teaches people to respect life, not to actively harm or kill living beings.
Yet Martial Artists have to take lives almost every day!
"Buddhism has fallen... Even accepting someone whose hands are stained with blood and granting him Xuan Buddhist Dharma."
Discussions surrounding Li Xuanxiao erupted everywhere.
Most of the Demon Race members were shocked, worried, or confused.
The Human Race members also had varied thoughts, but they were relatively more positive compared to the Demon Race.
"The Human Race of our Lawless Land has produced another great figure!"
"The more people like this, the better. It means I'll have to endure less bullying from the Demon Race!"
Wu Jiangming stared wide-eyed, holding up his sign blankly: "Bud... Buddhist Dharma!? Is Brother Li... a member of the Buddhist Sect?"
He was inwardly shaken, but he immediately realized something was wrong.
Wait a minute... How could someone cultivate both Martial Arts and Buddhism?
As a disciple of the Daoist Sect, he had a deeper understanding of traditional Martial Dao and Buddhism.
There were irreconcilable contradictions between the cultivation of the Martial Dao and Buddhism!
In the process of cultivation, it was almost impossible for a Martial Artist to avoid taking lives.
However, taking a life violates the Buddhist precepts and would affect one's comprehension and progress in Buddhist Dharma.
Yet, here was a living example of Dual Cultivation of Buddhism and Martial Arts right before them.
"How... how did Brother Li manage it?"
Wu Jiangming's past understanding suffered an unprecedented shock at this moment.
Chu Yin was equally stunned. Heaven knew that from the moment Li Xuanxiao slew the Qilin,
he realized this kid was definitely a fierce man!
Therefore, he never dared to look down upon the other party in the slightest.
But now, the scene of Li Xuanxiao practicing Dual Cultivation of Buddhism and Martial Arts delivered another heavy blow to his spirit!
The compatibility of Buddhism, Martial Arts, and the Dao—the inability to cultivate them simultaneously—was common knowledge among the people of the Upper Kingdom.
It was basic knowledge that could be written into theoretical courses.
But this... right now...
"I don't understand, but I am greatly shocked."
Chu Yin could not express the complex emotions churning within him.
A Martial Artist from a small kingdom, who killed a Qilin, practices Dual Cultivation of Buddhism and Martial Arts, and whose strength far exceeds imagination...
Such an existence...
A thousand words condensed into two: "Holy crap!"
The host stood rooted to the spot, staring at Li Xuanxiao, unable to react for a long time.
Finally, Li Xuanxiao took the initiative to walk over and apply to start the next match.
Only then did he realize he had actually zoned out.
Damn it, how could I not zone out? What in the world is going on with this guy?
Can someone explain it to me?
In terms of Martial Dao, both movement techniques and Martial Arts were at the top level of the Origin Realm.
His Realm strength was also at the Peak of the Origin Realm.
Now, Li Xuanxiao was even displaying Xuan Buddhist Dharma!?
Kid, I wouldn't be surprised if you pulled out a Demonic Technique one day!
Suppressing the turbulent emotions in his heart, the host hurriedly prepared to announce the start of the next match.
But just then, a Yao walked over and whispered in its ear.
The host leaned in to listen, his expression surprised. He glanced at Li Xuanxiao, then finally nodded.
"The challenger for the next match is Lord Beili from the Brocade Snake Manor!"
The host announced loudly. As soon as the words Brocade Snake Manor were uttered, the arena fell into a moment of silence.
Many Demon Race members instantly straightened up, suggesting they had a deeper understanding of this Lord Beili.
"Lord Beili? That's Elder Elsa's right-hand man, the number one demon below the heaven realm!"
"Even Lord Beili is stepping onto the stage personally. Now there will be a good show!"
"This Human Race kid, although his strength is formidable, he ultimately doesn't know when to quit. He's won seven matches already and still doesn't know when to stop."
"He's still too young! You must know that the Jianghu is not about fighting and killing; the Jianghu is about social graces and connections!"
Wu Jiangming and Chu Yin exchanged glances, their eyes filled with gravity.
Although they didn't know who this Lord Beili was, judging by the reaction of the crowd below, he must not be simple!
Li Xuanxiao had won seven consecutive matches, starting with 20,000 Spirit Crystals for the first match.
2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 + 64 + 128.
By now, the total had accumulated to 2.54 million Spirit Crystals!
If he were to win one more match, he would add 2 to the power of 8, which is 2.56 million Spirit Crystals.
Adding this up, it would be a full 5.10 million Spirit Crystals!
Such a massive amount of Spirit Crystals, even for the wealthy Brocade Snake Manor, was not a small sum!
The Brocade Snake Manor was now sparing no effort to step onto the stage personally, clearly intending to end Li Xuanxiao's winning streak.
Therefore, the person they sent out must be extremely strong!
Wu Jiangming was somewhat worried: "Brother Li is too greedy. If he had stopped while he was ahead, he could be leaving now with 2.54 million Spirit Crystals."
Chu Yin was more reserved, not showing his worry on his face.
He just gave Li Xuanxiao a deep look.
On the Deathmatch Arena, besides true desperadoes, there were also brave souls who had burned their bridges.
No one was willing to joke with their own life.
If they had a choice, who wouldn't want to advance steadily and incrementally?
However, the qilin mark hung over Li Xuanxiao's head like a guillotine, ready to fall at any moment!
It made him dare not slack off, nor could he afford to.
Chu Yin sighed softly. Since things had come to this, saying more was useless.
Li Xuanxiao calmly accepted his fate and was doing his utmost to fight for a sliver of survival.
For a Martial Artist who faced fate head-on like this, sympathy would be an insult; Chu Yin could only regard him with deep respect.
As the host announced loudly, a tall, slender figure silently walked onto the stage.
Li Xuanxiao glanced over and was immediately drawn to the strange patterns on the opponent's face.
They looked like blue veins hidden beneath the skin, yet also resembled the natural markings of a snake.
Winding and twisting, they gave his entire face a sinister look.
Beili stood before Li Xuanxiao, calmly assessing the Human Race Martial Artist who had achieved seven consecutive victories.
"You are quite good! My intention in coming up today was not to stop your winning streak. It's purely because I'm itching for a fight. If I don't spar with you, I'll feel very uncomfortable."
Li Xuanxiao pursed his lips: "Actually, if you just wanted to spar, you could have waited until I finished and discussed it with me privately."
Beili laughed: "How can a spar be as exciting as a deathmatch? It has to be a life-and-death struggle, a fight to the finish, to experience the thrill of having one's life hanging by a thread!"
A madman!
Li Xuanxiao narrowed his eyes.
