Absolute Choice 6

by Pear Lands In The Autumn Spring

  Shi Xiaobai had groped around learning through combat, so he had his own, unique understanding of it!

  Of course, the reason why Shi Xiaobai could so wisely impart his comprehension to Mozzie and Kevin, becoming their godlike mentor, was all thanks to Yang Wei's younger sister. An adorable little young girl had ignited the soul of a 'mentor' in Shi Xiaobai. She made Shi Xiaobai struggle day and night how to let a Bronze-ranked player understand the thought process of a King!

  All in all, the two Bronze-ranked players, Mozzie and Kevin, had received a significant improvement in strength. They could engage in combat with complete impunity. Furthermore, they received the godlike guidance from Shi Xiaobai, so even if they were idiots, they would also have improved!

  After proceeding and stopping along the way, they finally saw a gigantic cavern.

  This was a cavern in a cave. The cavern's space was huge and the light was dim. More than a hundred goblins were walking around and in the deepest depths of the cavern was a gigantic, golden goblin. It held a golden axe in each hand, as though it was a golden statue.

  Clearly, this was the Goblin Cave's guardian boss, Golden Goblin!

  "Go ahead and verify how much you have progressed!"

  Shi Xiaobai waved his hand gently as he said.

  "Alright!"

  This time, despite seeing such a terrifying scene, Mozzie and Kevin no longer expressed any apprehension like back in Ogre Forest. Instead, they had an eager looks for trying and immense impatience!

  Chapter253 The Improvement in Three Hours

  Against more than a hundred goblins, Mozzie and Kevin were apparently still unable to enter a head on clash. Especially with Kevin now as an assassin, he had improved a lot in a one-on-one situation, but he was still as crappy as ever against many. Hence, the duo was not able to charge in such a domineering manner like Shi Xiaobai and company back in the Ogre Forest.

  After some careful consideration, they decided to use the terrain to their advantage.

  Kevin was first to charge forward. Instantly, he attracted the batch of goblins closest to the cavern entrance. His proficiency in Cloud Traversal Steps had increased quite substantially, and using the way to attract aggro as taught by Shi Xiaobai as well as kiting methods, Kevin did his best to finish a few circles and narrowly escape any harm to gather the goblins into a bunch.

  After attracting a number of goblins, Kevin rushed to the cavern's entrance. The goblins that gathered into a bunch began shoving towards the entrance.

  Mozzie had already gathered her strength before this. With a delightful cry, she slammed a Stewing Wok Hammer out. Intense heat spewed out like a blowhole as the bunched up goblins collapsed to the ground with a scream.

  Mozzie immediately produced a Grilling Hammer as she swung her warhammer sideways. Immediately a sea of flames sealed the cavern's entrance. The goblins that were rushing ahead immediately came to a halt, as the goblins behind them slammed into them. The first row of goblins were unfortunately pushed into the fire as they collapsed to the ground with a cry.

  The bunch of goblins did not dare to risk advancing through the fire, but as they were stuck in a crowd, there was no way for them to retreat. Instantly, they were extremely vulnerable.

  Mozzie slammed her hammer again and again. Using the distance, she used Grilling Hammer and Stewing Wok Hammer to clear the bunch of goblins.

  When the goblins who were in the distance saw this scene, they screamed in indignation for a moment before retreating to a safer location.

  Kevin used Black Bear Dominating Palm, which was augmented by the Price of Might to strike the flames at the cavern's entrance. The violent winds that accompanied the powerful strike blew out the flames.

  After the flames were extinguished, Kevin charged forward once again. Repeating the same trick, he gathered a bunch of goblins to the cavern entrance, and Mozzie used the same method to destroy the bunch of goblins.

  After repeating this for five or six times, more than a hundred goblins were cleared. Only four dark purple and the gigantic Golden Goblin were left.

  Although the approach they used was a waste of time and consumed a substantial amount of psionic power, it was already the perfect solution for the duo. Furthermore, Kevin could practice his Cloud Traversal Steps during this process, while Mozzie was able to cultivate her Kun Peng Hammer Technique. It was the best of two worlds.

  The duo certainly could not use the same method for the other goblins; hence, they charged into the cavern together.

  Kevin first attracted the four dark purple goblins' aggro and kited them away before circling around them to charge straight towards the Golden Goblin.

  Mozzie smashed at the four dark purple goblins once with her warhammer.

  The division of labor was extremely clear between them. Mozzie was to deal with the four dark purple goblins while Kevin had to deal with the Golden Goblin himself.

  The four dark purple goblins were apparently stronger than ordinary goblins. Mozzie did not succeed with a single strike, however, she had already begun paying a great deal of attention to the control of her power. Hence, the speed at which she retracted her warhammer was extremely fast. Before the goblins reached her, she had attacked again, killing one of the four goblins.

  But even if she retracted her hammer quickly, there was still a sizable lag in her motions. The other three goblins had seized that opportunity to charge at her.

  Mozzie conjured her Magical Silver Shield calmly as the strong Magical Silver Shield was clearly enough to defend her against the goblins' attacks.

  During this process, Mozzie used Grilling Hammer on the three goblins who dispersed like birds when they saw the inferno roaring at them. Making use of the advantageous momentum she had, Mozzie began killing them one after another.

  And on the other side, Kevin had begun fighting with the Golden Goblin, but he was in no hurry. He remembered the teachings of Shi Xiaobai, so he carefully observed the Golden Goblin's minute motions and he began predicting its attacks.

  The Golden Goblin was bigger than an ordinary goblin by about five times. Its golden body looked impenetrable, and its swinging of the dual axes seemed to possess great destructive power. However, its movements were slow.

  Kevin slowly gained a sense of the Golden Goblin's attacking rhythm. He constantly dodged and would occasionally hit the Golden Goblin with a Wavelet Palm. The Golden Goblin's skin would shimmer with a layer of golden light every time it was struck. The ordinary Wavelet Palm dealt no damage to it.

  However, Kevin realized that the Golden Goblin's eyes slowly had a hint of disdain in them. It began to slowly relax on its defenses as it began obsessing with its offenses.

  "Now is the time!"

  Kevin's eyes lit up. He grabbed the opportunity when the Golden Goblin cleaved with its right axe and gave a palm blow!

  The Golden Goblin's skin did not suffuse the golden glow this time. Instead it swung its left axe at Kevin. It had already judged that the attacks of the human in front of it could not deal it any damage. Hence, it abandoned its defenses and forcibly attacked!

  However, this strike from Kevin was no ordinary Wavelet Palm. Instead, it was Wavelet Palm augmented by Price of Might!

  Wavelet Palm was simple and direct, so it was extremely fast. Coupled with the augmentation in strength from the Price of Might, it could be said to be fast and ruthless. By the time the Golden Goblin realized the danger, it could no longer react in time!

  "Boom!"

  The strike hit straight at the Golden Goblin's body as it was sent flying backward with a terrible cry. It slammed into the wall with a thud, causing the entire cavern to tremble.

  After Kevin struck, his body stiffened for a moment, but immediately after he charged at the Golden Goblin that was half kneeling on the ground.

  "Black Bear Dominating Palm!"

  Kevin hit the goblin while i
t was down. By using Black Bear Dominating Palm that was augmented by the Price of Might, he struck at the head of the Golden Goblin, who was still in a giddy state due to the severe injuries.

  "Boom!"

  A crack echoed as the Golden Goblin's head split before embedding deeply into the wall.

  At the same time, Mozzie had hammered to death the last dark purple goblin!

  The authoritative voice echoed!

  "Congratulations on killing the guardian BOSS. Everyone obtains 100 points for conquering Stone Gate #225 [Goblin Cave]!"

  Mozzie and Kevin were stunned for a moment as they felt a sense of accomplishment. They turned their heads at Shi Xiaobai as their eyes were filled with gratitude.

  They had managed to clear Goblin Cave, which was at 'middle' difficulty, themselves! Although they had taken three hours, it was still something unimaginable if this was three hours ago!

  And all of this was thanks to Shi Xiaobai!

  Shi Xiaobai's guidance had enlightened them, allowing them to find the fighting style that suited them best. Furthermore, they had learned the gist of combat.

  Application of the Massage Technique of God and the power of light had given them the endurance, allowing them to fight with all their might for three hours.

  It could be said that these three hours of actual combat was far better than three months of normal cultivation!

  The duo looked gratefully at Shi Xiaobai. They were momentarily at a loss as to how to express their gratitude.

  Chapter254 Intercourse for a moment

  Mozzie and Kevin cast grateful looks at Shi Xiaobai.

  However, Shi Xiaobai did not believe he should claim credit for that. Mozzie and Kevin's talents were pretty good to begin with. One of them had a Titan bloodline, while the other had a C-class superpower. Their talents would be the cream of the crop if they were in a first-tier organization. The only problem was that they had gone astray and did not put in as much effort.

  Now, all Shi Xiaobai had done was guide them onto the correct path and give them an opportunity to become stronger.

  It was their desire to become strong that allowed them to resolutely cling onto that opportunity. It was their hard work that allowed them to obtain such significant progress.

  However, all of this was far from enough. Although Mozzie and Kevin had made considerable improvements, they were still a great distance away from becoming the top ten rookies. They had just gone from plankton to a tiny fish that could swim better.

  Shi Xiaobai said, "Let's go. On to the next stone door!"

  Mozzie and Kevin nodded heavily. They quickly recovered from being carried away by excitement. They knew that the opportunity that followed was one that would change their entire lives. Furthermore, it was the selfless sacrifice of Shi Xiaobai, Sunless and Mu Yuesheng that gave them this opportunity. If they did not grasp it well, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

  Therefore, regardless of how tiring and arduous the combat training that followed would be, they had to grit their teeth and endure through it!

  The look in Mozzie and Kevin's eyes turned hot and firm.

  ...

  After clearing the stone door level, a door would be opened for every trial-taker so that they could easily depart the level. Hence, the five of them gathered at the crystalline ground as they had previously agreed upon.

  Mu Yuesheng had already awoken, but she did not seem to be in a very good mood. This was because her deep meditative state had been interrupted by the authoritative voice.

  According to Shi Xiaobai's judgment, the Massage Technique of God had only a ten percent chance of sending her into a deep meditative state. Furthermore, the temples could not be continuously stimulated. There was a need for an interval, so even though Mu Yuesheng was willing to accept the embarrassing massage again, it was impossible for her to enter a deep meditative state again.

  Mu Yuesheng found it somewhat regretful. However, the scenes she cogitated were much clearer than before. This was the astonishing result of the Massage Technique of God.

  In fact, the Massage Technique of God did not truly increase her Mind Expanse. It was making her thoughts and mind achieve better clarity through massage. As such, it also improved the fidelity of her imaginations.

  This lifting effect obviously was temporary, so Mu Yuesheng was unwilling to waste it. She hurriedly took the time to close her eyes and enter Cogitation.

  As such, Shi Xiaobai and company suggested for Mu Yuesheng to wait in the crystalline ground and concentrate on her Cogitation.

  Mu Yuesheng hesitated for a moment before agreeing with a nod. She was no longer in a deep meditative state, so she was safe alone in the crystalline ground. However, she felt somewhat guilty gaining points while standing outside in Cogitation.

  Mu Yuesheng thought to herself that she had to find an opportunity to repay the favor to them.

  ...

  Shi Xiaobai had indeed seen through the glyphs on the stone door. The next stone door he chose was of 'medium' difficulty.

  'Medium' difficulty was currently most suitable for Mozzie and Kevin's actual combat training. Occasionally, the duo would receive some injuries, but they were all minor ones. It was sufficient to use the power of light of Holy Radiance to heal them. If the injuries they suffered were too severe, the power of light was insufficient.

  This time, Shi Xiaobai did not observe Mozzie and Kevin's every battle to give them advice like previously, because he had things he needed to do!

  He wanted to have intercourse with Sunless!

  Of course, it could be called an interactive exchange course, intercourse for short.

  Shi Xiaobai had first thrown a brick in order to get a gem. He had previously explained Kun Peng Hammer Technique to Mozzie, so by discussing the Kun Peng Sword Technique with Sunless, he was immediately inspired. It was as though he was chewing on Stride gum as he talked incessantly without coming to a halt.

  Sunless' understanding of the sword was still higher than Shi Xiaobai's. She was able to understand the profound meaning behind everything Shi Xiaobai said. Furthermore, she could infer an understanding most suitable for her. She was not like Mozzie who needed a layman's explanation.

  Sunless' eyes brightened up as she listened to him. The way she looked at Shi Xiaobai was filled with a brilliance. Just like Mozzie and Kevin, she was also extremely impressed by Shi Xiaobai's teaching ability.

  Shi Xiaobai was good at teaching, while Sunless was a sword prodigy not seen in a hundred years. As such, Sunless spent only about ten minutes before grasping the Kun Peng Sword Technique Shi Xiaobai had understood. She did so at a startling pace.

  However, the essence of the sword technique needed actual practice to fully grasp it.

  Following that was Sunless teaching Shi Xiaobai the sword techniques she had grasped.

  The situation took on a strange turn.

  Sunless: "I..."

  Shi Xiaobai: "Yea."

  Sunless: "You..."

  Shi Xiaobai: "Yea?"

  Sunless: "This..."

  Shi Xiaobai: "?"

  Sunless: "......"

  Shi Xiaobai: "..."

  The duo stared at each other. They exchanged looks as though they were having an exchange through their eyes like deaf mutes.

  Shi Xiaobai did not know how to read her mind, so he could not understand what Sunless wanted to express. He could only softly say, "Why don't you demonstrate it."

  It was extremely demanding on Sunless for her to lecture.

  Sunless nodded and heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She immediately raised her silver sword. She unreservedly demonstrated the Kun Peng Sword Techniques she had learned. It was completely different from what Shi Xiaobai knew. Shi Xiaobai's Kun Peng Sword Technique generated high temperatures and flames, but Sunless's two sword techniques were accompanied by low temperatures and strong winds.


  Shi Xiaobai attempted multi-tasking. As he observed Sunless's swordplay and grasped the sword intent within it, he also paid attention to Mozzie and Kevin's situation so as to help them if need be.

  Mozzie and Kevin worked very hard as though they were workaholics. The 'medium' difficulty stone doors happened to be at their limits, so every level was cleared with great difficulty, or by suffering injuries, or having their psionic power drained. However, they gained a lot each time, causing them to continuously grow.

  Although the power of light's healing effects were constantly significant, the effects of the Massage Technique of God were gradually weakening. Each massage needed more time, and the amount of psionic power restored with each massage also decreased. Mozzie and Kevin seemed to slowly develop resistance against it.

  It was particularly notable on Mozzie. Back when Shi Xiaobai helped improve her bloodline's purity, she clearly felt that the stimuli were not as strong as back when she had a full body massage, or at least she did not moan involuntarily. She had believed that she had gotten accustomed to the comfort, but the fact was that she had generated 'antibodies' against the Massage Technique of God!

  The Massage Technique of God was like a virus. Although it was very powerful, it would be instinctively rejected by the body and the body would generally develop a resistance to the point of being completely numb to it.

  This sounded an important alarm for Shi Xiaobai.

  Chapter255 Just as inaccurate as always

  In fact, the Massage Technique of God was not as powerful as he had imagined as it had its limitations and flaws. For example, the Divine Massage of Giving Spring to Withered Wood. While it could restore a person's psionic power through a massage, it was not producing psionic power from nothing. The reason behind the restoration was mostly due to an increase in the speed of the massaged person’s psionic power recovery rate, which resulted in the effect of restoring a person's psionic power in a short period of time.
