Chapter 43: Did Miss Bai Fall and Hurt Herself?
Only in this way would his first place truly carry weight.
Whenever others talked about it, they would say something like this.
Look at Zhou Han, astonishing and peerless, winning eight matches in a row. In the finals, he was even more breathtaking.
He unleashed a powerful ultimate move with extraordinary might.
But he was still defeated by Bai Linglong, the City Lord's daughter.
With that comparison, the contrast would be obvious.
That was also why Bai Linglong wanted Zhou Han to bring out his full strength.
Only by defeating his strongest move head-on could her victory leave people speechless.
Otherwise, if she defeated him too easily, people might say it was just luck.
Thinking of this, Bai Linglong revealed a smile.
"Wow, the goddess's smile is just too charming, I'm drunk like a dog!"
"The goddess will definitely win, defeat Zhou Han! Go goddess!"
The surrounding crowd cheered and rooted for Bai Linglong.
Zhou Han couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.
"You sure you want me to go all out? I'm afraid I'll beat you until you cry!"
He said it very seriously, and it was the truth.
[Peerless Sword Princess · Bai Linglong]
Level: 46
HP: 6000
Attack: 2460
Defense: 802
Weapon: Dustfall Sword
Equipment: Profound Maiden Set
Accessory: Guardian Necklace
Cultivation Technique: Tianxuan Sword Art
Her level was very high, and all her attributes were strong.
Her cultivation technique also had tremendous killing power.
But in front of Zhou Han, it still wasn't enough.
All her equipment was Platinum-grade, but it was still not as strong as Zhou Han's enhanced Gold-grade equipment.
This was the advantage of SSS-grade infinite enhancement.
Low-tier equipment could surpass high-tier equipment through enhancement.
But when Bai Linglong heard this, her expression changed, and her gaze toward Zhou Han gradually turned cold.
Saying such frivolous words was clearly teasing her.
In front of so many people, she had to teach him a harsh lesson.
In the entire city, no man had ever dared to say such words. Zhou Han was the first.
"Boasting shamelessly! Use your strongest move—I will defeat you head-on!"
Bai Linglong unsheathed her Dustfall Sword. Cold light flickered as she pointed it at Zhou Han, her face full of anger.
"Alright! You said it, I'm making my move!"
Zhou Han was just that easygoing.
He always tried to satisfy requests from beauties.
"Watch closely—Sword Qi Storm!"
Zhou Han didn't hesitate and directly activated the skill he had fused earlier.
It was currently his strongest move.
As his voice fell, violent sword qi spread around him.
"Zzzzt!"
Under the cutting of the sword qi, even the air trembled and made a sharp sound.
The smile on Bai Linglong's face gradually disappeared, replaced by seriousness.
Seeing such power, she was instantly shocked.
She hadn't expected Zhou Han to be this strong—it was beyond her expectations.
"Even so, you're still not my opponent!"
Bai Linglong firmly believed that as the City Lord's daughter, she would never lose.
The sword qi grew denser, forming a storm like a tornado, sweeping forward at terrifying speed.
"Hm? This aura… not good!"
Bai Wuhen's calm expression changed drastically.
With such power, Bai Linglong simply couldn't withstand it—her life could even be in danger.
But as the City Lord, he couldn't interfere with the match. Though anxious, he didn't act.
"Ah…!"
A scream rang out.
The violent storm had just touched Bai Linglong before instantly blasting her away.
She was defeated in a single strike, completely unable to resist.
"Th-this… what just happened? Bai Linglong was defeated in one move?"
"This kid is destined for greatness—his future achievements are limitless! Don't provoke him in the future, or it might bring disaster!"
"Ah! My goddess got sent flying, I wonder if she got hurt—I'm heartbroken!"
"Zhou Han really has no sense of tenderness, striking so ruthlessly!"
"Is he even a man? If it were me, I'd surrender—how could you not go easy on a goddess?"
…
After seeing the result, everyone started discussing intensely.
Zhou Han had clearly become a prominent figure in the city.
Some feared him, some were angry—everyone's topic revolved around him.
"Damn! That power was way too strong!"
Even Zhou Han hadn't expected the move to be so terrifying.
The surroundings were now in complete ruin.
Within a 30-meter radius, the ground had been completely torn up.
Everywhere were marks carved by sharp blades.
Looking at Bai Linglong lying in the distance, she was covered in dirt and looked extremely disheveled.
Her previous proud and elegant aura had completely vanished.
In its place was utter embarrassment.
Seeing this, Zhou Han felt a bit awkward.
After all, she was the number one beauty of the city, and now he had turned her into this miserable state in front of so many people.
But it wasn't really Zhou Han's fault.
First, he didn't know the Sword Qi Storm would be this fierce.
Second, seeing her full set of Platinum equipment, he thought she would at least be able to withstand it.
He hadn't expected her to be blown away instantly.
"Am I already this strong?"
Zhou Han sighed inwardly.
Meanwhile, Bai Linglong, who was lying on the ground, had actually already woken up.
But she pretended to still be unconscious.
With so many people seeing her in such a sorry state, it was simply too embarrassing.
She, who had always been high and mighty, had never experienced such humiliation before and couldn't accept it.
"Zhou Han, very well! This isn't over—I'll make you pay. Just you wait!"
Bai Linglong roared hysterically in her heart, wishing she could slice Zhou Han into a thousand pieces.
He actually struck so hard against a beauty like her.
What a blockhead—he had no idea how to cherish women.
Thinking of this made her both angry and ashamed.
With the referee's announcement, Zhou Han secured first place.
The selection competition officially ended.
"Zhou Han, to enter the Demon Suppression Division, a strong physique is essential. This Sword Bone Pill is your reward—please accept it!"
Soon, a guard came to deliver the reward.
"Much appreciated!"
After taking the reward, a notification sounded.
[You have obtained the Sword Bone Pill. Do you want to view it?]
Zhou Han immediately checked it.
It turned out to be Platinum-grade.
It increased defense and HP, strengthening the body.
Zhou Han enhanced it six times on the spot and checked again.
[Sword Bone Pill +6]

Zhou Han was overjoyed and immediately consumed it.
A refined power flowed into his limbs, surging continuously and tempering his body.
His bones crackled, and his vitality became even more vigorous.
