Starting with a beautiful woman's private doctor

Wenbo's pupils suddenly contracted sharply; he had been keeping seven-tenths of his attention on the young palace master.

At that moment, Yu Jingshi flew over, and he instinctively withdrew his right fist, forcefully changing direction in mid-air to narrowly avoid the exploding Yu Jingshi.

Fish startled the stone, which exploded three feet behind him. Countless tiny water droplets surged from the dark crack, spreading through the air with that familiar deep-sea chill.

The young palace master stood by the pool, his fingers still in the position of fiddling with the fish-startling stone bracelet.

His face was expressionless; he merely glanced indifferently at Wenbo, who had landed from the air, and then at the old fisherman, who was kneeling on one knee, panting.

Old Fisherman knelt on one knee, his left hand covering the wound on his right arm that had been torn open by Wenbo's fist.

He raised his head, looked at the young palace master, and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you for saving my life, young palace master."

The young palace master looked at him with lowered eyelids, her dark eyes, like deep-sea reefs, devoid of any warmth.

"Old Fisherman, I've been waiting for you for a long time, but not only did you not win, you almost got beaten to death."

His voice wasn't loud, but every word was clearly audible in the quiet valley.

"It's just an injured Grandmaster and a True Person Realm sorcerer, and you've already gotten yourself into such a sorry state. You've been practicing your Dark Water Technique for decades, surely you can handle something like this?"

The old fisherman lowered his head, not daring to utter a single word in rebuttal.

The young palace master didn't look at him again. He gently brushed his right hand across the fish-shaped stone bracelet, and a blue fish-shaped stone fell off the bracelet and landed in his palm.

He tossed the fish-startling stone at the old fisherman from a distance. The bead drew an arc in mid-air and landed steadily in the old fisherman's hand.

"Crushing this Qing Shui Stone will enhance your power, allowing you to utilize the power of magical artifacts... and finish this quickly!"

The old fisherman took the Qingshui Stone with both hands, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and crushed it without hesitation.

The cyan light instantly merged into his palm and spread throughout his body along his meridians.

His aura surged instantly, and his body, which had been slightly weak due to his injury, straightened up again, with the torn cuffs fluttering in the wind from the invisible force of his energy.

He formed another hand seal, and the dark water light in his palm became even more solid than before, with the density and speed of the water arrow more than doubling.

The pressure on Wenbo and Lu Pingchuan increased again. Even with the help of the water from Yuchan Temple, the two of them could only barely maintain their undefeated record when they joined forces.

Seeing this scene, Xu Yi immediately saw an opportunity to retaliate.

He chuckled, his tone laced with undisguised schadenfreude, "Miss Qian, who just said 'Wenbo and that sorcerer are enough to deal with him'?"

"Why did Wenbo return it after just one bead? I think if this young master throws two more, Wenbo might not even be able to stand up anymore!"

Qian Xinya's face turned pale and then red, but she gritted her teeth and refused to admit defeat. "That old man is only relying on the temporary amplification of the magic artifact. That kind of power won't last long! When the time limit is up, he still won't be able to defeat Wen Bo!"

Xu Yi shook his head and clicked his tongue twice, about to continue his mockery, but suddenly shut his mouth.

He realized that the situation on the field was changing.

Although the old fisherman suppressed Wenbo and Lu Pingchuan with the help of magical artifacts, Lu Pingchuan's auxiliary spells were constantly being adjusted.

The Jade Toad Temple is known for its water-based arts, which include many ingenious auxiliary techniques.

Lu Pingchuan altered the nature of the water-based power attached to Wen Bo, making it no longer just for defense and amplification, but transforming a portion of the water-based power into real-time neutralization of the dark water's erosion.

Every time the old fisherman's dark water arrow collided with Wenbo's qi, the outer water barrier would precisely release a neutralizing force at the point of contact, eliminating the turbidity of the deep sea.

In a short period of time, the old fisherman was simply unable to break through the combined defenses of the two.

Wenbo was also adapting to the enhanced rhythm of the old fisherman's magic.

His punches became faster and faster, no longer attempting to kill with a single blow, but instead using a continuous barrage to force the old fisherman to constantly deplete his inner energy.

Lu Pingchuan's water power was attached to his fists, each punch carrying a layer of light blue light, striking the old fisherman's water shield with a dull thud.

Although the old fisherman's strength had greatly increased, the advantage he had gained with the cooperation of the two did not translate into a victory.

Seeing the battle gradually stabilizing, Qian Xinya's lips curled up again. "Didn't you say Old Yu was a sure winner? Why does Wenbo seem to be getting more and more aggressive? You country bumpkin, why don't you make another prediction?"

Xu Yi gritted his teeth and didn't say anything, his hands clenched into fists.

Just then, the young palace master's eyes suddenly flickered slightly.

His gaze remained fixed on the depths of the pool, but at this moment his right hand unconsciously reached for the Fish Startling Stone Bracelet.

The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, a curve so subtle it was almost imperceptible unless you looked closely.

With a flick of his finger, the young palace master sent another fish-startling stone flying off the chain.

Just like last time, Yu Jingshi traced a dark blue trail in the air and flew silently toward the arena.

Wenbo sensed Yu Jingshi's presence immediately.

He felt a chill run down his spine and immediately raised a protective aura around himself, while focusing his attention on the direction from which Yu Jingshi was about to launch a sneak attack.

The cracks created by the exploding Yu Jingshi would instantly disintegrate his protective aura, so he had to prepare his defenses in advance.

Wenbo concentrated seventy percent of his true energy into his protective aura, which shone with a thick, golden light, like a city wall.

Fish startled the stone, which traced an arc in the air before exploding violently.

This time, the crack was neither in front of Wenbo nor behind him.

The fish-shaped stone flew towards Lu Pingchuan and exploded behind him when he was completely unprepared!

Lu Pingchuan was fully focused on maintaining the water-based auxiliary spell attached to Wen Bo, with all his attention concentrated on what was directly in front of him.

He was so focused on calculating the timing of the next hand seal that he had no energy left to defend against a sneak attack from the side or rear.

The moment that extremely yin and cold deep-sea turbidity surged into his body from behind, he froze.

It wasn't that they were frozen stiff, but rather that the true energy in their meridians was instantly eroded and disintegrated by that turbid force.

The protective water barrier behind him shattered into countless pale blue specks of light through the cracks that exploded, scattering into the air.

Lu Pingchuan tried to let out a scream, but only a mouthful of blood came out of his throat.

Dark red blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, dripping onto his jade-white Taoist robe and quickly spreading.

The old fisherman had been waiting for this opportunity.

At the same instant Lu Pingchuan was hit, all of his attacks were redirected towards Wen Bo.

Hidden Water Arrow!

Dark Water Whip!

Dark water tornado!

The three attacks were launched simultaneously, descending upon Wenbo from three directions.

After losing Lu Pingchuan's water-based support, Wenbo's protective aura suffered a significant drop in defensive power.

He took a direct hit from a hidden water arrow, causing his internal energy to tremble violently.

The hidden water whip lashed his right shoulder from the side, tearing his sleeve.

Although he dodged the dark water tornado behind him, the chilling force still grazed his back.

He stumbled back several steps, leaving a trail of cracked footprints on the stone slab beneath his feet.

Lu Pingchuan was seriously injured, and Wen Bo also lost his magical support.

In just a moment... the battle turned around again!
