Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 328 : 327 continue the competition
Facing the onslaught of the Immortal Locking Chain that surged like thousands of Spirit Snakes, Zhou Bai, unclear of his opponent's abilities, chose to evade.
He was seen instantly reappearing a hundred meters away, dodging the attack of the Immortal Locking Chain, while continuously asking Christina in his mind, "Hey, silly cat, do you know what the Immortal Locking Chain does? Can I withstand it with my body?"
Christina stretched out two cat paws, hugged her head, and kept pondering about the memories of the Immortal Locking Chain.
"I think I've played with this thing before. First of all, it can regenerate nonstop. If it fully expands, not just the arena... no, the entire venue, including the space underneath where the audience sits, probably couldn't contain it.
However, with Cang Ming's cultivation level, it shouldn't reach that extent. But unless you can destroy the entire Immortal Locking Chain in one go, cutting it up is pointless."
"The next thing is don't let this thing touch you. I remember it can control a person's emotions and desires. Once it touches you, you've basically lost half the battle."
"But it should be fine if the flying sword touches it."
As Zhou Bai evaded, he frowned and said, "Not letting it touch me? Easier said than done. They are multiplying, and my space to dodge is getting smaller."
While saying this, the Zizai Gengjin Flying Sword had already flown next to Zhou Bai. The next moment, with a whoosh, it shot towards Cang Ming, fiercely slashing at his head with a mass of Sword Qi.
With a loud clang, dazzling sparks danced and flickered between the flying sword and the chain. Cang Ming's head, wrapped by the chain, tilted slightly back but was completely unharmed.
In contrast, Zhou Bai's Zizai Gengjin Flying Sword trembled continuously as if it had been severely damaged.
"No good, its defensive power is too high." Zhou Bai shouted inwardly, "Even if Cang Ming can't utilize the full power of the Immortal Locking Chain, just his inherent defensive power alone is enough to withstand my direct attacks."
At the same time, the reddish Immortal Locking Chains shot towards Zhou Bai one after another. They pierced through the air, shattered the ground, and the earth in front of them seemed as if it was mere dust.
Zhou Bai could even sense that the whole underground had been penetrated by the Immortal Locking Chains, with them occasionally breaking through the ground under his feet and lunging at his body.
Cang Ming was hardly utilizing any of the unique abilities of the Immortal Locking Chain, simply allowing it to carry out basic attacks, and Zhou Bai was almost out of options.
Cang Ming laughed as he watched Zhou Bai scrambling around the arena, "Give up, Zhou Bai. You can't break through the defense of the Immortal Locking Chain, nor can you withstand its attacks. You're definitely going to lose."
"The basic properties of this thing are too strong," Zhou Bai frowned, "As I am now, I can't defeat a ninth-realm magical artifact. Damn it, it's forcing me to cheat..."
Christina: "Zhou Bai, what do you want to do?"
"You control the flying sword." As soon as Zhou Bai thought about it, the Sword Qi in his mind trembled slightly. Instantly, the whole arena began to boil under the influence of gravity, as numerous giant rocks rose into the sky, intercepting the wildly shooting Immortal Locking Chains.
Amid the loud banging noises, large chunks of rock, like tofu, were shredded and pierced but temporarily obstructed Zhou Bai's figure, buying him a second or two.

"Take a look at your future, Cang Ming."
It was at this moment that the Immortal Locking Chains paused slightly and suddenly stopped in midair.
Simultaneously, Zhou Bai and Cang Ming's gazes both fell into confusion as their consciousness entered some kind of illusion.
It was evidently Zhou Bai who had activated the ability of the necklace divination, causing both him and Cang Ming to fall into a vision of the future.
On the other side, Tina was unaffected. Thus, she saw on the still arena, only the Zizai Gengjin Flying Sword, still under Christina's control, spinning quickly, raising a tempest. Then, like a massive drill, it fiercely stabbed towards Cang Ming's eye area.
If Cang Ming were in a normal state at the moment, just a simple command of the Immortal Locking Chain would suffice to block this attack. But...
Christina thought, 'This kid is now trapped in a vision of the future. Any slight movement would wake him, so we must take this opportunity while he is controlled and the Immortal Locking Chain has stopped to strike him hard.'
The flying sword then shot out like a meteor, its majestic Sword Qi carrying a world-splitting momentum, aiming straight for the exposed eye sockets of Cang Ming.
Seeing this scene, countless people all stood up, staring intently at the situation on the arena.
Just as Cang Ming was about to be seriously injured, a figure imperceptibly blocked in front of Cang Ming. A robust Primordial Spirit force converged, and the figure swatted away the flying sword with a palm.
It turned out to be the referee from Leiyin Temple, the seventh-realm Wu Dao, who had previously reprimanded Zhou Bai for being too harsh.
At the same time, the impact from this close distance immediately woke Cang Ming. He suddenly widened his eyes as the Immortal Locking Chains on the arena started dancing wildly like Spirit Snakes once again.
Christina widened her eyes as she looked at Wu Dao, who had blocked her attack. Zhou Bai had already come back to his senses and glared at Wu Dao, "What are you doing?"
Wu Dao said indifferently, "Your move just now almost killed Cang Ming. As a referee and a medical staff, of course, I have to stop you from killing Cang Ming."
Zhou Bai said annoyed, "I wouldn't have killed him."
Wu Dao replied, "Can you guarantee 100% that you can control it? The top talent of the human race, what if he were sacrificed, could you bear that responsibility?"
Zhou Bai asked, "So what now? Do I win or not?"
Wu Dao hesitated, seemingly listening to something, then suddenly turned his head toward the guest seats and saw Ming Yue, the Immortal, nodding slightly.
So he turned to Zhou Bai and said, "You just used the power of the divination, right? Using divination in the Four Schools competition? I'll let it go this time, but next time if you use it, you will be directly deemed the loser."
"You are playing dirty," Zhou Bai glared at Wu Dao.
Wu Dao casually glanced at him and said, "Think what you like, I'm just considering the safety of the player's life." After saying that, he walked down the arena.
On the guest seats, the crowd had already become noisy.
"Wu Fa! What are you doing at Leiyin Temple? Is this fair?"
"Cang Ming has already lost, why continue the competition?"
Master Wu Fa's brows furrowed slightly, and his gaze became increasingly somber. He looked deeply at Wu Dao below the ring, then turned his head, looking at Ming Yue, the Immortal, his tone full of dissatisfaction, "Senior, what do you think?"
"This young man, Zhou Bai, is too harsh in his attacks. The referee did nothing wrong," Ming Yue, the Immortal, said confidently. "Moreover, Zhou Bai, in a contest against his own kind, even used divination. Zhao Shouyi, is Dao School's control over divination so lax?"
Hearing that Zhou Bai had used divination, everyone else looked at each other, clearly among the crowd in the guest seats, only Ming Yue, the Immortal, had sensed the power of divination.
Ming Yue, the Immortal, said lightly, "The 64 Hexagrams are the spirit and creation of heaven and earth, how can you use them carelessly? From now on, Zhou Bai is forbidden from using divination. Let them compete again."
Upon hearing this, those present were obviously still unconvinced.
The vice chairman from Jijian Pavilion, who had been silent so far, Wang Shouxuan, suddenly had a flash of Sword Qi in his eyes as he spoke, "This way, I'm afraid the results of the Four Schools may not be accepted by everyone."
At that moment, a large section of the audience began to stand up in protest, with various jeers and curses carried over.
Ming Yue, the Immortal, raised an eyebrow, "Accepted by everyone? Is it you who are not accepting?"
A furious Primordial Spirit force swept across everyone in the guest seats, then spread throughout the whole stadium and the audience seats, transmitting Ming Yue, the Immortal's voice into everyone's ears.
"Or is it you who are not accepting?"
The entire stadium instantly quieted down, as if the tangible Primordial Spirit force weighed on everyone's shoulders, deeply indicating the gap between humans and Immortals.
"Continue the competition."
In the eerie silence, Cang Ming shook his head on the ring and transmitted his voice, "So you understand, right? Zhou Bai, the result of this competition was predetermined, and we are merely pawns on the chessboard."
"It's pointless to contend with an Immortal face-to-face. Concede, I don't want to hurt you."
Zhou Bai helplessly shook his head, then sighed, "The act I just put on..."
Cang Ming asked, "What?"
Zhou Bai replied, "I'm giving you one last chance to forfeit. Otherwise, what happens next could get quite ugly, leaving a huge scar in your heart. You might go mad or become deformed. Forfeit, it's for your own good."
