Chapter 44

Moments later,

the dust and smoke cleared,

revealing that the golden barrier still enveloped Li Xiao's body,

while Li Xiao, standing beneath the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower, remained utterly motionless and completely unharmed!

At this moment,

Li Xiao understood completely!

It was not that Karp was holding back,

but that the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower was ridiculously overpowered!

According to the information the system provided after he previously checked in to claim his reward,

the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower was an excellent defensive magic treasure!

As long as the power gap was not too large,

summoning the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower

would be enough to place oneself in an invincible position!

Now it seemed,

the system's statement was somewhat modest!

As for this so-called "power gap not being too large,"

just how large does it have to be to count as large?

With Li Xiao's current strength equivalent to a Marine Headquarters Rear Admiral,

after summoning the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower,

he was actually able to remain completely unharmed under a punch infused with Karp's Armament Haki,

and even stay utterly motionless!

Most crucially,

the consumption of spiritual power was pitifully low!

If Li Xiao were to sit down and start Circulating the Cultivation Technique on the spot,

the rate of spiritual power consumption would not even match the rate of recovery!

Judging by the current situation,

even against a true Emperor-level assault,

with the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower present,

it should be enough to easily block it!

As for spiritual power consumption,

it probably wouldn't be that high either!

Even withstanding the attacks of multiple Emperors simultaneously for a short time

should not be a difficult task!

Simply put,

Li Xiao's defensive attributes are now maxed out!

Standing beneath the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower,

no one can break his defense!

Truly, like a sparrow pecking a cow's butt—absolutely awesome!

At the same time,

having failed to break the defense with two consecutive punches,

Karp's temper began to rise!

He was seen letting out a low shout,

as pitch-black Armament Haki instantly wrapped around both arms,

and then,

his twin fists rained down on Li Xiao like a machine gun!

The explosive sounds caused by the residual force did not cease!

As clouds of dirt and stones flew up in waves,

soon,

the dust and smoke once again enveloped both of them!

The power of the battle's residual force this time

caused the nearby ground to tremble repeatedly!

The onlookers,

whether they were Marine soldiers from the G-16 Branch Base,

or the Arlong Pirates,

or the several Marine officers who had accompanied Karp,

could only keep retreating at this moment,

maintaining a safe distance from the center of the battle!

Facing Karp's frenzied assault, his fists moving so fast they left afterimages,

Li Xiao felt a bit panicked at first,

after all, he was not clear on where the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower's upper limit of endurance actually lay,

What if it suddenly becomes unreliable again?

Then these fists filling the sky,

the current me could not withstand them!

However,

after witnessing it endure dozens of punches in succession,

the golden barrier cast down by the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower still showed not the slightest fluctuation,

Li Xiao set his heart at ease,

even feeling ashamed for his momentary doubt of the system just now!

Indeed,

anything produced by the system must be a masterpiece!

How could one doubt the quality of the magic treasure rewarded by the system?

Simply utterly shameful!

Enough said,

where is the Transmigrators Association System Division?

I want to give a six-star review!

I'll stick on that extra star with my own hands!

The Capricorn in front was punching away with great enthusiasm,

while Li Xiao, beneath the Purple-Gold Exquisite Tower, now felt somewhat bored.

Seeing that the Capricorn would not stop for a Yishiban Society,

he simply sat cross-legged right there on the spot,

then pulled out an orange from his pocket that Nuogiqao had stuffed into him earlier,

eating the orange while quietly watching the Capricorn's performance,

treating it as watching an immersive Armament Haki show!

Come to think of it,
