Chapter 211: Bai Chenxiang - More Afraid of Disappointing Su Bai than Failing

"Brother Bai, should we stop Xiangxiang?" Hu Liena, experienced in battle, had already figured out Bai Chenxiang's plan and suggested to Su Bai.

"Let's wait and see," Su Bai shook his head slowly.

To Su Bai, Bai Chenxiang was not a reckless person.

If she was acting this way, she must have her own reasons.

But...

"Brother Bai, it's clear what Xiangxiang intends to do—she plans to exchange injuries for attacks. But even if she manages to hit her opponent, her attack power isn't enough to cause significant damage..." Hu Liena continued anxiously.

Therefore,

Bai Chenxiang's actions seemed futile.

Even with self-healing abilities, without a decisive finishing move, she would still lose.

Her approach appeared to be in vain.

The other women looked at Su Bai with worry.

Only Su Bai could convince Bai Chenxiang now.

But Su Bai still shook his head and sighed, "I support Xiangxiang's decision."

As Bai Chenxiang's man,

he could only let her proceed.

Given Bai Chenxiang's intelligence, she surely understood the logic.

Yet she continued her actions, meaning she had a plan.

Perhaps, she truly believed she could win.

Otherwise, she wouldn't persist.

Thus, Su Bai decided to support her and be ready to rescue her if she faltered.

The women, seeing Su Bai's reluctance to intervene, were anxious.

But ultimately, it was Bai Chenxiang's decision, and they couldn't stop her.

All they could do was worry.

Even Sea Ghost Douluo felt a tinge of pity.

He said, "Little girl, it's useless. No matter how many times you attack, it won't affect me. You should give up!"

"Not necessarily!" Bai Chenxiang replied firmly.

Then she attacked again.

Sea Ghost Douluo, shaking his head in resignation, punched once more.

But this time, instead of the usual impact, Bai Chenxiang's cold voice echoed, "Got you!"

Sea Ghost Douluo was puzzled.

Even if she grabbed him, what could she do?

Throughout the fight, he had realized this girl's only advantage was speed—she had no real attack methods.

Even if he stood still, she wouldn't be able to harm him.

Not just him, Su Bai and the women thought the same.

But then,

Bai Chenxiang acted.

She tightly grasped Sea Ghost Douluo's arm and shouted, "Fifth Soul Skill, Yanfan!"

With those words, Bai Chenxiang exerted great force.

Sea Ghost Douluo was swiftly lifted.

In mid-air, he was then slammed to the ground with immense force.

Boom~

Due to the powerful momentum,

Sea Ghost Douluo hit the ground heavily, raising a cloud of dust.

This was Bai Chenxiang's fifth soul skill, Yanfan.

Originally, the skill involved attacking an enemy with a powerful strike at high speed before quickly returning.

But now, Bai Chenxiang used it in reverse to amplify the force.

She knew that a straightforward use of the skill, even if it hurt her opponent, would ultimately lead to her defeat.

So, she devised this approach.

Her previous actions were just to lower Sea Ghost Douluo's guard.

Now, she had achieved her goal.

But this had exhausted all her soul power.

That last strike was her final effort.

Panting heavily, Bai Chenxiang's face was full of exhaustion.

Ugh...

Sea Ghost Douluo stood up, looking a bit disheveled.

He was astonished that this little girl had such a powerful soul skill.

After a moment of silence,

he finally spoke, "Congratulations, little girl. You win."

Although he could continue fighting, Bai Chenxiang had achieved impressive results for a Soul King.

That last strike was so strong that it had inflicted significant damage on him.

Therefore, Bai Chenxiang was declared the winner.

Bai Chenxiang was momentarily stunned, then she smiled brightly.

She walked laboriously to Su Bai, like a child, happily saying, "Brother Bai, did you see? I won."

Su Bai smiled and nodded.

He gently stroked her cheek, concerned, "Xiangxiang, you worked hard."

"It wasn't hard," Bai Chenxiang shook her head with a smile, "I'm more afraid of disappointing you, Brother Bai."

Su Bai was taken aback.

He was deeply moved.

It seemed Bai Chenxiang had worked so hard to prove herself to him.

Su Bai didn't know what to say.

He wanted to tell her that she didn't need to try so hard; he would protect her.

But he didn't say it.

Otherwise, her efforts would be in vain.

He didn't want to hurt her feelings.

Moreover, Bai Chenxiang's approach wasn't wrong. If he weren't around someday, she needed the strength to protect herself.

So, he simply hugged her tightly.

Bai Chenxiang, moved, kissed him.

Like the other women, her current strength was all because of Su Bai.

Her martial soul evolved, granting her self-healing abilities.

Without it, she wouldn't have lasted.

It was the martial soul's self-healing power that sustained her.

And Ning Rongrong's support.

She released Su Bai and sincerely thanked Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, thank you. Without you, I wouldn't have succeeded."

Ning Rongrong waved her hands modestly, "Xiangxiang, it's all due to your own efforts. I didn't help much!"

"And assisting you in the divine trial is part of my own trial."

Bai Chenxiang insisted, "It's different. Without your support, I wouldn't have held on and ultimately won."

Bai Chenxiang spoke the truth.

Thanks to Ning Rongrong's powerful boosts, she had endured Sea Ghost Douluo's repeated attacks.

Her self-healing and final move were impressive,

but Ning Rongrong's contributions were significant too.

"Alright, you two. Stop thanking each other. We're all sisters, helping each other is natural," Hu Liena interrupted, seeing the two being so polite.

Hearing this,

the women exchanged smiles.

Su Bai felt gratified witnessing this harmony.

Next,

Su Bai took the women back to rest,

especially Bai Chenxiang, who needed it the most.

With Bai Chenxiang passing the divine trial, Su Bai was relieved.

Among the women, her strength was the lowest, and her chances of passing were the slimmest.

But fortunately, she succeeded.

As for the other women, he wasn't too worried.

Xiao Wu and Su Rensue were already Titled Douluos, so it shouldn't be difficult for them.

And Zhu Zhuqing, with Ning Rongrong's support, had a good chance of succeeding as well.
