Black Sail

Chapter 60: Major Upset


"Damn it, why isn't there any portable radio equipment? Not being able to reach Mika is a real bummer. Professor Mo, hurry up and invent it, will you? I don't even know if it worked out; if the Church discovers it midway and Rashomon doesn't work, it'll be hilarious to become the Pope's thorn in the side again."

Shadi really hated this kind of situation where you just get anxious and can't do anything. While Mika's work as the ship's doctor is impeccable, there was this one time when I was being chased by a bunch of people at Heaven Port, and this guy was busy fooling around in a brothel. How is that okay?

"Are you really treating Sister Mo like a slave?"

Liszt still felt a bit sorry for Mo Yutong. The technology in Heaven Port was all thanks to this sister, and she definitely deserves a few more macho experience coupons.

In the broadcast, Gedre has already advanced, securing a spot in the championship battle.

Now, Divine Sword Xiaolong is up against Highway Ranger Bai Xing. After this battle, there are only two more fights: Gray Wolf King versus Death Dance, and Shadow of Death versus Ghost Eye Mad Blade.

Morison has bet on Xiaolong to win, placing ten Golden Dragons on the line.

"Uh... Is this guy only going to fight seriously when he's nearly beaten?"

Morison commented, because Xiaolong and Bai Xing both have that protagonist vibe and aren't as dark as our buddies from the Underworld—they are truly sparring.

Currently, Xiaolong is getting beaten up again, constantly suppressed by Bai Xing like a punching bag.

[Surprise upset! Highway Ranger Bai Xing, not only proficient in swordsmanship and magic, but also knowledgeable in word spirit and Dragon Clan Proverbs! Only the legendary Sound Emitters from a monastery on Evgeny Peak can use such Dragon Language Magic after decades of rigorous training. My god, she doesn't even look twenty, what is going on?

And she can use more than one. I can't even put it into words. Even though Xiaolong's swordsmanship is divine, what can he do under absolute power?]

The specialists from the Eternal Church who excel in this field are now explaining live.

"Huh?"

Liszt was greatly shocked. My god, a sane version of Archer... actually, even better than Old Man!

"Old Man, don't you also know Dragon Language Magic? Damn, he learned it just like that, as if he were a Dragon Descendant. I wish I could have witnessed it!"

Rein was extremely curious.

It's no surprise that Garscek and Fafna are capable of this, given their different races, but they can't teach humans how to speak it.

According to the classification of arcane, spell, and curse provided by Fen,

it can be categorized as a spell. It can only be naturally used through bloodline inheritance or with a certain blessing or curse. It's extremely difficult to replicate by other means.

But on the Western Continent, there are many mystical guys who stubbornly insist on doing the impossible, determined to learn it. It's a really impressive feat.

Meanwhile, Archer's tongue was now groggy with drink, totally disoriented, slapping his head with a flushed face.

"Damn... I forgot."

Archer was in complete chaos, unaware of what was what.

"Huh?"

Rein sported a tactical black face, as did everyone else.

Liszt had a tactical black face as well. It was his mistake; he couldn't compare anyone to Old Man—that's just off-limits.

Not only does he connect to the Immortal Emperor, but also to the Divine Immortal Emperor, so even Liszt can't complain. I'm lucky to have met you.

Archer was like Fake Pockmarked, akin to a useless starter from a Dark Souls game—truly useless, but with high potential, allowing for flexible skill allocation.

This Bai Xing is like True Pimples, likely a true Dragon Descendant since she can do all sorts of flashy things!

The broadcast had transitioned to a male voice explaining.

[Typically, a Sound Emitter can only speak Dragon Language, and it takes ten to twenty years just to get started. They don't have the energy to study other disciplines, swordsmanship, magic.

This is truly unbelievable...

This is a word spirit known as Dragon Soul Awakening, also called Dragon Scale, but it's not about growing Dragon Scales. It's golden energy scale armor that greatly enhances physical ability, agility, and defense...

Moreover, this word spirit is artificial, not something the Dragon Clan itself can use.

Dragon Language Sound Emitters are rarer than dragons themselves.

Bai Xing's speed increased again… not just her acquired arcane skills, special disciplines, so-called Heavenly Realm Spiritual Energy, Chaos Cloak.

Never heard of...

It's the most complex type of Dragon Language Magic found only in literature, called space peeling. It's not high-speed movement but shouting at the space to leap and change its position.

Oh my god, she's actually breathing out Dragon Flame Breath from her palm now!]

"F**k me!"

Before, without this broadcast thing, Liszt knew the Continent Martial Arts Competition was off the charts, but didn't imagine it was this extreme. Brother Dao, if you don't summon Suzanoh and open the blind command, you might not scare these people.

"Quick, get this girl aboard the ship; she must be the destined one! Oh my nine heavens and ten earths Immortal Domain Heavenly Emperor!"

Rein was overwhelmed.

After the professor finished explaining what Bai Xing was up to, it quickly returned to the hostess's main stage.

[Xiaolong and Bai Xing seem to have said something, but unfortunately, there are no sound recording devices in the field.

Casters need to consume concentration to cast spells, but Bai Xing's mental strength seems like a bottomless pit, with no sign of exhaustion.

Xiaolong... is moving, with a desperate counterattack!

The preliminary match has turned into a championship battle stance, and the Guardian Barrier has been urgently reinforced.

This is far beyond the 'just tip the scale' agreement from before the match started.

The scariest part is...

Bai Xing is still learning Xiaolong's swordsmanship.

What...

What's going on?

Whether it's Bai Xing's carelessness or Xiaolong's unparalleled combat experience and raw power, the situation has completely reversed, as if Xiaolong has grasped the pattern of the peculiar space transition, flicking pebbles with his toes to seemingly arbitrary directions, but accurately hitting the neck and wrist of Bai Xing.

Suddenly, Bai Xing couldn't use word spirit Dragon Language anymore, and her hand movements started to slow down.

The Sword Blade Barrier was shattered.

The sword was already gently resting on Bai Xing's shoulder.]

Elsewhere.

Continent Martial Arts Competition venue.

"You're really amazing, completely beyond my expectation for the Continent Martial Arts Competition. I didn't imagine such people existed in this world. You used things I've never seen before. I didn't dare to make reckless moves, fearing to take your life. You're too strong. Given time, maybe in just a few years, you could surpass me."

Xiaolong was somewhat in a mess, with superficial injuries and dust all over his clothes.

Yet he still had that "I'm here to save you" show-off expression, looking stunningly handsome, like a breath of fresh spring air.

It was indeed heartfelt words; this girl's monstrous learning ability was astonishing.

"You're such a show-off, mister, I hate you!"

Bai Xing did feel a few moments of overwhelming pressure, but it soon disappeared.

Outside the Oasis Camp of Drifting City.

Black Sail's group continued listening to the broadcast.

Morison's judgment was correct, Xiaolong successfully advanced, securing a spot in the championship match.

Ten minutes later.

The battle between Gray Wolf King Reksey and Dead Dance Julius also ended with a victory for Death Dance.

So.

In the championship match, besides Xiaolong, Gedre, and Julius, there remains only the last seat.

The next battle is...

Shadow of Death versus Ghost Eye Mad Blade.
