Chapter 101: Observing

Even though Bai Li had shielded his body in time, he was still injured. There were a few scratches on his body, but overall, the wounds were only superficial, and they wouldn't take long to heal.

This was why he was so confident. His body was too tough to be injured, and if one couldn't even hurt him, how would they defeat him?

However, he was facing a Spiritual Creature with the same abilities as him, which put him at a disadvantage. Fortunately, he was higher ranked than the Darkfang Serpent, which made the fight in his favour.

He shrugged off the dust on his clothes and looked at the giant Darkfang Serpent, who was glaring at him with its single vertical eye. It hissed and shot at him at even greater speed than before, as if being injured had given it a boost in strength.

Bai Li clicked his tongue and assumed a stance with one foot back and his right-hand fist at his heart. After that, he calmed his heart and shouted, circulating his Qi to the max.

"Three-Legged Roc Body!!"

A golden glow erupted from his body as his whole body shimmered. His muscles bulged, pulsating with incredible strength.

But he didn't get the time to feel the changes in his strength as the Darkfang Serpent was already upon him, its huge mouth biting at him. Its mouth was big enough to swallow Bai Li in one swoop, and it seemed like its intentions were those.

Bai Li concentrated all of his strength on his legs and pushed them against the ground, launching himself high into the air. It was a risky move, but he was confident.

The Darkfang Serpent hissed and used its tail like a whip to attack Bai Li in mid-air. The sound of air cutting resounded from the deadly tail as it instantly reached Bai Li, almost swatting him away like a bug.

Bai Li had expected that and smiled. He twisted his body lightly and jumped on the tail, using its momentum and force to launch himself even higher.

Shaking off his fatigue, he stood up and quickly extracted the Spirit Core of the Darkfang Serpent. It was a dark sphere and creepy to look at.

Bai Li looked at the serpent's mangled body and cut off some meat for himself. After that, he didn't stay idle and ran deeper into the forest to find a place to rest for a few minutes before heading out to hunt again.

Not even an hour had passed, and he already had 10 points, so he wasn't in a rush.

Bai Li left the scene quickly because he was scared someone would come to sneak attack him; however, someone had observed most of his fight.

On top of a tree's branch, a young lady with golden orbs-like eyes was sitting, wiping her daggers, which were coloured red because of all the blood. She hummed and murmured.

"So, he is from the Seven Stars Sect. Doesn't seem too bad but nothing special either. Sister Ning is way better than him in terms of skill."

Ying Yue shook her head and looked at her storage ring, which already had a few Spirit Cores. As an assassin, she usually needed only one attack to kill her opponents, so she had plenty of time to observe other participants.

She then stood up as she spread her Spirit Sense once again to find other participants. She had already gathered enough Intelligence on Bai Li and didn't need more. He wasn't particularly special or strong, so she didn't need to hold him in high regard.

In fact, she was only observing everyone to see their characteristics. After all, they could be her opponents in future so it was better to have as much as knowledge possible.

Soon, her spirit sense caught on something as she looked to her left. She had a confused look as she thought.

'Huh! What?'
