The audience was stunned.
The skinny blond teenager wanted to clash head-on with a Strength-based Psionite, especially after he had the immense momentum from running a hundred meters?
A few experienced audience laughed because they realized the inkling behind the matter.
From the looks of it, the blond youth was an Agility-based Psionite, and this fake move of his was meant to dodge the burly youth's charge at the last moment before launching a counteroffensive.
This was a common tactic used by Agility-based Psionites against Strength-based Psionites. It was a tried and tested method!
The burly youth was about to fall for it!
The corner of Kevin's lips gradually turned into a cold smile. Yes, the fool that was charging at him had fallen into his trap, but it was different from the audience's guess. He was not waiting to attack after dodging. In fact, it was the opposite, he wanted to clash head on!
Why did Kevin use his limbs? There were two reasons. Firstly, his superpower was suitable for fist and leg-based offensive skills.
He possessed a superpower called [Price of Might]!
By using a portion of his psionic power and stamina, he could temporarily increase his physical strength. However, when using the [Price of Might], he would be left immobile.
This superpower was sacrificing mobility to exchange for an explosive power!
As as result, the true side of Kevin was—a Strength-based Psyker!
Secondly, the offensive skill he grasped was a single-target offensive skill with extremely destructive power—Black Bear Dominating Palm!
Through such a combination, his destructive power was immeasurable!
If the burly youth faced his palm strike head on, he would definitely be instantly defeated!
Kevin slowly raised up his palm and watched as his opponent rushed at him. At the same time, the burly youth who had already raised up his fist had a more intense smile on his face.
Approaching!
Approaching!
The moment was about to come!
Everyone watched in gaped silence. This made Mozzie's eyes emit sparkles as the palm strike that would make the burly youth regret terribly was about to be struck out!
This palm strike was named Black Bear Dominating Palm!
It was a slap Kevin had prepared to slap [Zeus] heavily in the face!
The burly youth rushed in front of Kevin with an angry bellow. With a powerful frontal impulse, he raised his fist and smashed it forward!
The fist winds whistled in a way that sounded like the crack of thunder!
"Ha!"
Kevin roared out and struck out his right palm towards that fist!
"Black Bear Dominating Palm!"
It appeared as though Kevin's body was burning with a blackish-red flame. The blackish-red flame seemed like sparkling waves that formed blackish-red ripples, but also looked like a flame that was about to crack and burst out.
"Boom!"
Kevin struck out with his palm as the air surrounding him instantly exploded. A layer of the steel surface in front of him peeled off as the steel plates began boiling as a result of his palm wind.
However, the burly youth who was clearly rushing towards his palm had vanished at the instant Kevin struck out!
No, that was not true disappearance. He only disappeared from Kevin's vision!
The audience stared with widened eyes because they clearly saw the burly youth's speed suddenly become as fast as lightning when he came in front of Kevin. Rounding about Kevin, he appeared behind him and his tightly clenched fist turned into a hand chop at that instant!
It was too late for Kevin to respond. Even if he could react, the tremendous inertia after striking out "Black Bear Dominating Palm" had completely frozen his body.
The burly youth's hand chop had landed on Kevin's neck without any suspense.
"Putong!"
This hand chop was done without going overboard, but it was just the perfect amount of strength to knock Kevin unconscious. As his eyes rolled back, he plopped down to the metallic ground with a thud.
"Zeus wins!"
The elderly God of Swords declared the outcome of the battle in a deadpan manner.
The burly youth revealed a nasty smile and looked at the dumbfounded audience and loudly said, "I'm actually an Agility-based assassin. Hahahaha..."
The burly youth's blatant laughter echoed throughout the stadium.
Life is like a theater.
But one could not jump to a conclusion as to who would clinch the title of Academy Award for Best Actor till the very last moment!

Chapter192 Why must a Fatso make things difficult for a former Fatso
The burly youth guffawed and after a moment of stunned silence, the audience exploded, hooting and hollering.
This was all the same old fashioned outcome!
The blond teenager looked scrawny but was extremely powerful.
As for the burly youth, he looked stout, but his speed was stunning.
Yet, they had used the same strategy of tricking each other, with the outcome of having the audience fooled!
However, the final result was a proof that the burly youth's skills were better—skills being acting skills.
The audience erupted into applause and screams. Regardless of what methods were used, there was no doubt that the outcome of the battle happened very fast!
The audience began reporting the outcome of their time tracking. Most people reported times of approximately seven seconds, while the host's time was seven and a half seconds, which the audience finally agreed as to be the standard timing.
The burly youth looked extremely displeased. He shook his head and said with a sigh that there was no chance for him to obtain first place before walking off.
The audience were collectively rendered speechless, but they could not help but begin to feel a sense of anticipation.
If seven seconds was not enough to obtain first place, what sort of monsters were the [Zeus] rookies? Or to put it in other words, how weak were the [Gaia] rookies in their eyes?
...
In the three matches that followed, it sufficiently showcased the differences in strength. The extreme levels of posturing could be considered perverse and sick.
For the second match, the [Gaia] rookie, who was chosen just to make the numbers and did not even have any stage lines, suffered defeat in six seconds.
For the third match, the rookie that did not dare say anything domineering during the pre-battle declaration suffered defeat in five seconds.
For the fourth match, the rookie that showcased his acting skills during the pre-battle declaration suffered defeat in four seconds.
With that, [Gaia]'s battle exchange delegation lost the entire exchange with four matches lost. If the times of the posturing before the match began was added up, the [Zeus] rookie delegation had obtained victory in just twenty-two seconds!
Even though the audience were aware of this likely outcome, they were still dumbfounded by such a development.
For a hundred Psionic Condensing Pills, the [Zeus] rookies gave all they had at the onset. Every move they used was nearly an instant kill technique they kept secret. If not for One-Pun and the elderly God of Swords being the referees, the [Gaia] rookies that were there just to make up the numbers would probably have been killed.
However, it could not be denied that all the instant kill techniques used were extremely showy. It made the audience give their kudos, and the cheering immediately biased itself, as though this was no longer [Gaia]'s home ground.
The members of the audience who truly supported [Gaia] sunk their faces and remained silent. There were three rounds left, but the highlight of the remaining three rounds was if the [Zeus] rookies were able to break the four-second record.
Furthermore, in the last three rounds, the two super rookies, the Ye siblings, would be fighting
!
In a blink of an eye, the fifth match was about to begin. The combatants walked in from their respective passageways from both ends.
The audience was stunned seeing the two people who walked out, but they revealed gleeful smiles.
On the right, there was a female whopper about two meters in height and was so fat that she looked like a ball.
And on the left, it was a petite and charming girl with cute looks and orange-red pigtails.
This battle exchange was going to be interesting.
...
When Mozzie appeared, the audience began whistling and exclaimed in amazement "how cute" she was. The [Gaia] rookies in the spectator stands were also asking each other if they knew of the cute girl's identity, but none of them knew the answer.
Without a doubt, Mozzie's cuteness made her extremely likable.
And the female whopper stood in stark contrast against the cute Mozzie. Just her footsteps alone caused the ground to rumble, and her stance seemed quite formidable.
There was no doubt that this female whopper was a Strength-based Psionite.
The moment the female whopper appeared, she pointed at Mozzie and said, "I'll squash you flat!"
The audience broke out into a cold sweat for Mozzie. Clearly, the female whopper felt great resentment over Mozzie's cute image.
Mozzie giggled and said, "This Mosquito shall look forward to it. Hehe, let me tell you a secret. This Mosquito was just as fat as you the day before yesterday!"
The audience were amused when they heard this. It was clearly a joke for such a cute girl to say that she was very fat two days ago. No, based on the circumstances, this was a taunt!
The audience immediately gave Mozzie a big thumbs up.
This cute chick's courage was commendable.
The female whopper immediately stared at her and said with an explosive temper, "Are you mocking me? Fine, I'll forget about the hundred Psionic Condensing Pills. I want to slowly squash you to death!"
"Sigh, no one believes the truth anymore in this age."
Mozzie cutely stuck out her tongue. What she said was indeed the truth, and there was no mockery in her words, but she definitely would not mention Shi Xiaobai's massaging skill.
What a joke! Not everyone was worthy to enjoy Lord Shi Xiaobai's massaging skills!
The female whopper's nostrils flared with hot gasses as her face turned red with anger. However, she no longer spoke but began cracking her knuckles that sounded loudly like explosions while staring furiously at Mozzie.
The audience drew a gasp and began to worry for Mozzie. Due to the great difference in looks, the members of the audience who were supporting [Zeus] immediately changed sides and began supporting Mozzie.
The God of Swords noticed that the duo who were standing a hundred meters away from each other did not bring any weapons with them, which clearly meant that a battle of flesh meeting flesh would occur. However, the great difference in body size meant that the bodily battle would pain his eyes.
The elderly God of Swords coughed and shouted, "Begin".
The moment he said this, the two girls simultaneously began running. The female whopper moved extraordinarily slowly, as though she was walking, but every step she took quaked the ground.
And what made everyone at a loss whether to laugh or cry was that the petite Mozzie was running equally slowly as well.
The audience found it amusing.
Such a cute chick wants to show off her acting as well?
"I'll squash you flat!"
As the female whopper ran, all the fat on her body began quivering. Her eyes were burning with fury as though she was trying her best to run faster, but her heavy body had already limited her. Her face was completely red in color, making her look frightening.
"Come on, This Mosquito is waiting!"
Mozzie was also running and her speed was very slow as well, but her posture was extremely cute. When she ran, her hands seemed to move like a duck's waddle. In addition to her cute face, the cuteness overload made some people bleed from their noses.
Although they were moving like molasses, their momentum was staggering. In the eyes of the audience, it was as if two knights were charging at each other.
Finally, the distance between the two was reduced to ten meters.
The female whopper shocked everyone with an action. With an angry bellow, she lifted her humongous belly and slammed it at Mozzie.
Mozzie's actions were equally astounding. She turned to her side and used her shoulder to slam heavily into the female whopper's belly!
Suddenly, both the female whopper's stomach and Mozzie's shoulder flashed a metallic sheen!
"Psionic Hardening!"
The keen-eyed audience immediately screamed.

Chapter193 King's Beginner Sword
The defense system was divided into four forms, Psionic Hardening, Psionic Shield, Psionic Barrier and Psionic Domain. Psionic Hardening was considered core out of all the forms. By using Psionic Power to harden and strengthen one's body, it would result in one's bodily defense to greatly increase.
And at this moment, Mozzie and Whopper had both used Psionic Hardening. They were planning on using their own bodies to clash head on!
"Mt. Tai Crush!"
The female whopper shouted as she came crashing downwards at Mozzie with her hardened stomach.
"Patron Landslide!"
Mozzie's eyes stared as she slammed her hardened shoulder at the fat girl!
"Peng!"
The two of them had crashed head on resulting in an ear-splitting blast from the collision. It was as if two gigantic boulders had struck each other, but there was the sound of bones shattering immediately following that.
Mozzie had only lasted a second before she was sent flying backward. Her body flew up into the sky as though she had been struck by a speeding train!
The audience held their breaths as they felt their hearts being tugged. They shouted in their minds, why didn't you dodge!
Mozzie spun a few times in mid-air as she spat out a mouthful of blood. As the blood splattered through the air, it was as if a beautiful red lotus had bloomed under the sunlight. However, she slowly revealed a smile by the corner of her lips.
Why did she not dodge?
Because if it were Lord Shi Xiaobai, he would definitely not dodge!
Besides, didn't Lord Shi Xiaobai once say that the only failure was failing after giving your all?
Although she had suddenly slimmed down, she could not immediately change her combat style. Hence, her combat style was still the same style as when she was a fat girl. Clashing head on was her giving her best!
Mozzie crashed to the ground but remained conscious. However, she no longer had the strength to stand up.
At this moment, a loud boom resounded not far from her as the ground quaked suddenly.
The female whopper had wobbled a few times before losing her balance. She had stumbled to the ground!
The audience stared at the arena with widened eyes. Mozzie's Patron Landslide had knocked down the whopper!
Although the whopper quickly regained her footing, while Mozzie could no longer fight, the scene was still unbelievable to many. After the audience were left in shock, they suddenly crazily applauded the fallen Mozzie with hearts filled with respect. This courageous collision had crashed into the hearts of the crowd.
As the darn host did not introduce them, the audience still did not know Mozzie's name, but all of them shouted one word in unison
"Gaia! Gaia! Gaia!"
Despite the elderly God of Swords announcing that Zeus had won in a deadpan manner, the word "Gaia" echoed into the sky!
It was as though the extremely fearless collision had dispersed the gloomy clouds of the four consecutive losses from before!
The female whopper's expression was extremely ugly. She never expected that a scrawny girl was able to engage
in a head-on collision with her to the point of making her lose her balance. She had spent seven seconds to win the battle, but the scene was as though she had lost.
The female whopper glanced at Mozzie, who was receiving treatment from medical personnel, and felt disgusted, as though she had eaten a fly. With a cold grunt, she left the venue.
The medical personnel produced a pale yellow glow from his hand as it covered Mozzie's shoulder. Although Mozzie felt a tinge of pain, she could not help but laugh out when she heard the stadium shouting "Gaia". Her delightful laughter was like pearly bells.
...
...
Riko's apartment, Shi Xiaobai's room.
Shi Xiaobai suddenly opened his eyes. Numerous beams of golden light flashed in his black pupils, as though they were two stars that had suddenly lit up.
Moments later, the golden light in his eyes dimmed as he slowly regained consciousness.
"Phew..."
Shi Xiaobai exhaled a long breath as his eyes blinked a few times. The corner of his mouth slowly cracked into a smile.
"From today onwards, This King shall add on another title to the billions of titles he has—King of Sword Kings, The Power of One Strike, Heaven and Earth Succumbing!"
Shi Xiaobai looked up and guffawed, "Wahaha..."
The back of Shi Xiaobai's right hand flashed twice as a golden beam bloomed. As a golden blob of light floated out, the fair loli landed lightly on its feet.
The loli rolled her eyes when she saw Shi Xiaobai's high-spirited looks. She was rendered rather speechless because Beginner Sword only had five basic motions—slash, stab, uppercut, sweep, cleave. Shi Xiaobai had spent nearly a day's time to understand the basics. This meant he was a super sword art retard not seen once in ten thousand years.
The tiny sword spirit could not bear telling Shi Xiaobai the brutal truth.
Sigh, it's best to cut him some slack.
Shi Xiaobai stopped laughing and looked eagerly at the loli and said, "Hey, it's time for the next move!"
Shi Xiaobai had savored the sweetness gained from comprehending sword techniques.
The loli felt rather helpless as she faked a cute loli image and said, "Big Brother, it has been twenty-three hours since you began comprehending Beginner Sword. If Little Black did not remember wrongly, doesn't Big Brother have something important today?"
