Immortality

"Hahahaha!" The hooded man started laughing seeing Bai's corpse "I knew that bitch was lying. This time I win the lottery. I wasted my time training that Xie child and giving a God Fragment, my plan was to let him refine his fragment and kill him, taking his power to be able to break through to rank 98. However" He laughed even more "This guy is far superior. Only with him, I will be able to become a limit douluo." He grinned "With that old geezer weakened, I will be able to control Spirit Hall. Only those two would be able to face me."

After a moment of flooding in his delusions, he stopped "Something is wrong." he looked at Bai's body "Why he isn't dissolving?"

Bai's chest started glowing with a gray color "Fuck!" Under the hooded man, 9 spirit rings appeared, 1 yellow, 3 purple, 4 black, and 1 red. His 7th and 4th shined, his two daggers increasing their size, becoming short swords, a black aura emitting from them. "<Shadow Ripper>!" He charged towards Bai's body, crossing his dagger while swing them madly trying to slice him. However, around Bai's body, the gray aura took the form of a spectral sword, and the hooded man couldn't pierce through it.

"Shinx!" the aura flashed pushing the hooded man away, taking out his hood and showing his face.

He seemed a boy about 20 years, dark short hair with black eyes with big eye bags. He had a pale face that made him have a sickly image with the exemption of his sharp eyes. The truth was that he was Bi Ying, the Shadow Dagger Douluo. A rank 97 super douluo and the 4th elder priest of Spirit Hall.

Around Bai's body, his 8 spirit rings appeared, his 5th ring shining brightly. Countless swords appeared floating around Bai. Suddenly, all of them were shot towards him, piercing all his body "Shinx!" A strong gray light shined, blinding its surrounding.

After the light vanished, Bai could see standing over. His head was over his shoulder and the hole in his chest had completely disappeared. Physically, he was completely fine.

<Immortality>. That was one of the skill gained with the 1.000.000 years old spirit bone. The spirit bone not only increased the strength of his body, but it also gave him some skills. Immortality, like the name said, could save Bai from death. It didn't matter how hurt was his body, once he died, the spirit bone would be activated, taking him from death and restoring his body using swords. In Bai's case, it even improved his 5th skill, using it to the restoration.

Of course, all go with limitations and a heavenly defining effect it also had. He could only use it once a month. Moreover, it would consume a great deal of spirit energy and mental strength. So against a powerful opponent, it wasn't very helpful, only gaining time.

Bai sighed in his mind. Who would have thought he would need it to use so soon? He glanced at Bi Ying.

Bi Ying had recuperated his calm long ago and was calmly observing Bai "Clap!" he clapped his hands "Good trick there. But this changes nothing" he stated "I doubt you are able to push that trick again. And I can see your spirit energy running low" He grinned "You weren't my rival at full strength. How could you be able to face me now?"

Bai lifted his left hand, 5 black rings appeared around it, the second ring shining "♪Wonder If I gave a Double Stuff Oreo♪" Bai chanted, his cheeks inflated as 8 Oreos were manifested inside his mouth "Munch, munch, munch, munch, munch, munch, munch, munch! Glup" Bai munched and swallowed the Oreo, recuperating all his spirit energy.

Bi Ying's eyes opened widely shocked. He didn't know that he had twin spirits, and even one of them was one strange food spirit capable of restoring spirit energy!

"This changes nothing!" Ying roared angrily, his 2nd, 3rd and 8th rings shined "<Shadow enforcement>, <Shadow Clones>, <Shadow Rain>" his shadow twisted dividing in 50, it seemed like some roots. From each tip, surged a copy from Bi Ying, they were all black and resembled his shadow. Then from each clone, a short sword surged from it, pointing at Bai.

Bai invoked his twin swords, his first 4 rings shining, with his sword shining white and black. If Bai was confident in something was about stopping large ranged attacks like this.

Ying cracked his teeth madly "You're dead!" his 9th ring shined. He lifted his daggers that fused creating a long dagger, all the shadows were absorbed by his long dagger, that started emitting an ominous aura "<Shadow Banquet>!". He took the dagger with both hands and put it at his chest weight. He thrust forward, a black ray shooting towards Bai "Die!"

Ying's abilities used his shadow or the shadows of the people near him, being limited in 1vs1. Nevertheless, the power of an all-out attack of a rank 97 titled douluo was enormous. Not only this, he already knew that Bai was able to use a defensive All Sword, but it would be useless. He was waiting for the moment he used it for him to use his own All Sword. His would create more shadow, greatly empowering his attack. He wanted to see Bai's despair when he realized that he couldn't stop. Unfortunately for him, he wasn't prepared for Bai's action.

Bai's 4 rings stopped shined. He crossed both swords, his right sword surrounded by 4 rings, his left sword by 3, and his 7th red ring in the middle of both. Bai's 7th ring started shining, its color turning grayish red "<Sword God Ring>!" he separated his hands, all his rings disappearing as the space around him contorted.

The contorted air expanded, engulfing Ying in it. Ying's long dagger shined and his rings disappeared, followed by his attack extinguishing before reaching Bai.

Bai sensed that his rival was the owner of a Sword God Fragment, someone capable of an All Sword, and a super douluo. With all of this, he knew that he couldn't win normally, at least he would need to be a titled douluo to it. But, at the same time, he met perfectly the conditions for his skill.

Once Bai upgraded his 7th skill to 100.000 years old, he obtained another skill aside the Spirit Avatar. This was Sword God Ring, a privilege as the Sword God candidate. He could create a field where anyone with a Sword God Fragment would be suppressed, not being able to use any force outside his own sword comprehension, this included spirit skills. The skill created something like a trial to face each other swords, meaning that Bai was also suppressed by his own spirit skill. Summarizing, it was similar to when he faced the water style guy at Slaughter City. Even though, Bai did it. If he was confident in something was in his sword arts.

The air around Bai and Ying twisted even more. Both of them found themselves in an enclosed fighting ring surrounded by swords, isolated from the exterior.
