Seeing Christina spirited, Zhou Bai pouted, and Elsa beside her said, "Sister Tina, getting spirited is useless. According to my records, your success rate at showing off is less than four percent. It's better if we don't consider what you said."

"Who says so!" Christina wasn't convinced, especially since she just showed off big time on the Heavenly Arena. She immediately jumped up and said, "When I was on the Heavenly Arena! After transforming, wasn't I dashing when I beat down Xiang Tiandi?"

"Didn't I recite those few poems well?"

"Zhou Bai, tell me, wasn't I beautifully showing off those few times?"

"Just say yes or no?"

This battle was Christina's peak battle in the past two years, which she now considers one of the most proud achievements of her life. Bringing it up now, she feels full of confidence and satisfaction.

Looking at Christina's serious expression, Zhou Bai nodded helplessly, "Your few moves after transforming were indeed pretty good. But that was after the transformation. Your usual level is really a bit..."

Christina retorted discontentedly, "I really have improved, how do you know if we don't try?"

Zhou Bai continued, "The first star point of the Furious Diagram, increasing attack times through bragging, now has three levels. The first level can only increase by 1 time, the third by 3 times. But from my tests, only reciting poems works for the third level. Do you know how to recite poems? You did recite a poem after transforming."

"Poem?" Christina's aura weakened instantly. She barely knew anything about poems. After transforming, she didn't even know how she managed to recite a poem to show off, and now she couldn't even remember it if she tried again.

Seeing Christina fall silent, Zhou Bai said, "You see, it's a loss for being illiterate. In the future, learn properly with me. Aim to memorize a few more poems."

Christina doubted, "Zhou Bai, do you know many poems?"

"Haha." Zhou Bai laughed heartily, "I've memorized poems for over a decade!"

Zhou Bai took a step forward, the gray Primordial Spirit power rose from his body, and the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword's sword seed shook violently. An invisible gravitational force spread from his body as the center, shaking the surrounding hundreds of meters of sand, grass, and wood into the sky.

Zhou Bai let out a long howl and shouted, "Sharpen a sword in ten years, the frost blade has never been tested. Show it today, who dares to accuse of injustice."

Then, Zhou Bai slashed with his sword, with the Furious Diagram directly adding three times, a single strike unleashing the power of four swords.

The surging gravitational force tilted out, and with one slash, directly tore apart the canyon in front, opening a ravine hundreds of meters deep.

Zhou Bai's footsteps didn't stop, the momentum of the Tianhe Star Explosion Sword kept rising, and he continued to shout, "Kill one person every ten steps, never leaving traces for a thousand miles. When the matter is over, brush off clothes, hide deeply with reciprocation and fame."

At this moment, with each of Zhou Bai's sword strikes, it was the power of four swords. His Primordial Spirit strength had already reached the level of Yan Zhen class, and with each sword strike, it was as though four Yan Zhens were going all out, faces flushed, exerting with all their might.

Another slash, the gravitational force tore the earth, directly turning a cliff into a ground pit.

Beside him, Xuannv widened her eyes, watching Zhou Bai recite poetry and dance with swords, as if rewriting the world, just feeling exhilarated. Her eyes were filled with both admiration and appreciation.

'Zhou Bai looks so handsome reciting poetry...'

Meanwhile, feeling the poems Zhou Bai recited, her heart sighed, "Heavenly Demons, Heavenly Court, humans... entanglements and pressures, with his strength, he doesn't have to live so gloomily. If only seeking self-preservation, he could roam the world freely, unrestrained, without having to bear so many responsibilities like now."

Watching Zhou Bai 'venting with sword', Xuannv's heart suddenly surged with a trace of heartache, "Maybe the life described in this poem is the life Zhou Bai truly yearns for."

As Xuannv watched Zhou Bai's back, she saw the Sword Qi whistling off his body, with another sword about to be launched.

"When will the bright moon appear? Lift the wine and ask the blue heavens. I do not know the heavenly palace, what year is this evening? I wish to ride the wind back there, yet dread that the jade towers and palaces, can't endure the chill at that height. Dancing with my clear shadow, what comparison with being on earth?"

Sword Qi was unleashed as if tearing the heavens and splitting the earth, still with fourfold attack power, instantly cutting the surrounding rock walls to pieces, and the entire canyon was about to be leveled.

Zhou Bai thought to himself, 'The effects of poetry are almost the same, now let me try a different style.'

Listening to the words Zhou Bai recited, Xuannv felt another heart tremor, looking at his back, only feeling a profound solitude, 'cannot bear the chill of the height', sparked a desire to go and embrace Zhou Bai.

"Seeking seeking, cold clear, tragic sorrow."

Zhou Bai swept out a sword directly, switching to another set of Swordsmanship, instantly the surrounding kilometers turned into severe cold, as if entering a harsh winter at once. The air condensed with layers of frost flowers, and the earth was covered with thick frost.

Xuannv's heart followed the words Zhou Bai recited with every beat, then heard Zhou Bai recite, "Though the belt slowly widens, regretting not. For her, it makes a person haggard."

Watching the howling cold winds turning the surrounding kilometer into a world of ice and snow, listening to Zhou Bai's next verse, Xuannv just felt her body trembling, unable not to think, "Zhou Bai... Is Zhou Bai saying this to me?"

She repeatedly chanted Zhou Bai's just sung words in her heart, looking at Zhou Bai's back. She just felt her limbs seemed a bit weak.

Xuannv's eyes were twinkling with different brilliance, 'Zhou Bai looks so good when reciting poetry.

Zhou Bai pondered in his heart, "The effect of love poetry is a bit weaker, it only added two attack times. It seems it's not just any poem that would work."

Afterward, Zhou Bai tried a few more poems, becoming more aware of the judgment criteria for the Furious Diagram, and made decisions for some of his usual battle phrases.

"Elsa, how about it, did you record everything?" Zhou Bai said in his spiritual sea, "Yes, show it to me."

Zhou Bai reviewing his recited poetry, while looking back at the words said in the past recorded by Elsa, nodded and thought, "Not bad. Now the phrases for adding one, two, three times of attack are quite abundant. Any phrase can be used."

As Zhou Bai stood contemplating, a pair of slender arms suddenly reached out from behind, embracing Zhou Bai.

"Xuannv?"

...

In the sky, while flying to the Heavenly Court with Ming Yue, Zhou Bai's body suddenly shivered, a hint of strange expression flashed across his face.

Beside him, Ming Yue had been keeping most of her attention on Zhou Bai, immediately noticing the anomaly, turned back to ask, "What's wrong, little brother?"

Zhou Bai quickly shook his head, "No... Nothing, just thinking of some things. Sister, I wonder how is Xiang Tiandi doing now?"
