Absolute Choice 6

Did that person hold any hopes for her?
If she were to run now, would that person...be disappointed?
"No, I can't disappoint Lord Shi Xiaobai!"
Even if there was a one percent chance, she could absolutely not disappoint Lord Shi Xiaobai!
Mozzie's eyes turned red. The cowardliness and confusion in her eyes disappeared at that moment, leaving behind resolve and determination.
Mozzie suddenly took out a dark red bead from her pocket and put it into her mouth before swallowing it!
"Ah!"
Mozzie cried out. Her delicate skin suddenly turned red as though she was being consumed by fire. Her face tightened as though she was experiencing excruciating pain.
This dark bead was the blood essence of the Titan Ape obtained as a reward after clearing a 'hell' difficulty stone door by collectively killing the Titan Ape!
The Titan Ape's blood essence contained the power of the Titan bloodline; hence, Sunless and company naturally left the blood bead for her.
This was a treasure meant to enhance the purity of her bloodline when she was strong enough, but Mozzie had swallowed it at this moment!
This was actually extremely dangerous, and could even be considered a life-threatening move!
This was because Mozzie's body might not be able to withstand the power contained within the blood essence. It was very likely she would explode to her death from swallowing the blood bead!
However, Mozzie was prepared to go for broke!
It was not for victory, nor was it a wager, but to not disappoint Lord Shi Xiaobai!
It was to not let the effort Lord Shi Xiaobai spent on her go to waste!
It was all to vindicate Lord Shi Xiaobai!
Hence, she wanted to win!
She had to win!
Mozzie swallowed the Titan Ape's blood essence and immediately felt her blood boiling. A pain surged across her body and shot straight to her head. She screamed and nearly lost consciousness.
When the female whopper saw that Mozzie did not say the exit command but suddenly turned red as though she was in excruciating pain, her eyes immediately lit up. She walked towards Mozzie with cold and terrifying eyes.
At times, the thoughts of women could be more vicious than men's!
"Go to hell!"
The female whopper roared angrily and slammed down at Mozzie with her metallic hoof, straight at Mozzie's cute and delicate face!
"Boom!"
A delicate hand suddenly reached out and grabbed the female whopper's metallic hoof.
The strike had come to an abrupt halt!
"How can this be possible!?"
The female whopper's eyes were filled with disbelief. Despite exerting her strength till her face turned red, her hoof failed to inch forward. She could not retract it either!
The fingers that clasped her metallic hoof looked like tender fingers, but they contained infinite power!
"How are you..."
The female whopper lowered her head to look at the cute girl in front of her. At this moment, her skin and eyes were both red. There was a demonic and sinister look on her adorable face.
An innate fear suddenly arose in the fat whopper's heart.
Mozzie looked up, revealing her red eyes. With a hoarse voice, she said, "How dare a bronze ox offend the mighty Titan?"
Mozzie raised her hand gently, easily lifting the female whopper up by her metallic hoof!
The female whopper screamed in extreme fear!
Mozzie hurled her lightly!
"Boom!"
The female whopper was helpless as she flew out like a cannonball before slamming into a wall. She penetrated wall after wall, but the arena's walls did not seem to have an end. The female whopper did not stop as she continued crashing through the walls.
The female whopper's eyes rolled over as she could not withstand such immense power. Soon, she fainted.
The red glow around Mozzie gradually dissipated. As she shook her head in a trance, she slowly regained her proper state of mind. She saw a hole in the wall that appeared to have no end in sight. The hole was no different in size to the female whopper. There was even the shape of a pair of large horns.
"Eh... What happened?"
Mozzie's mind was filled with questions as she frowned.
At this moment, the authoritative voice resounded above the arena:
"The duel is over with Wen Hezheng emerging victorious. The victor will be sent to the fifth level in ten seconds and the loser will be sent out of the training ground!"
Mozzie immediately stared widely.
She had won?
How did she win?
She only remembered feeling extreme discomfort all over her after swallowing the blood bead. She fell unconscious from the pain, but after that, the situation turned into this.
Mozzie felt some lingering fear over the period of pain she had when she swallowed the blood bead. However, she was overjoyed over having somehow won the battle.
She had won, proving that Lord Shi Xiaobai's hard work had not been in vain.
That was enough!
Enough!

Chapter278 I'll just quietly watch you posture
Shanghai City, Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, Main Auditorium
At this moment, everyone in the auditorium had a face as though they had seen a ghost, especially the elderly God of Swords and the middle-aged Zeus couple which recently arrived. Their expressions were already indescribable with words.
The elderly God of Swords was still alright. In order to maintain his awesomeness, he forced himself to remain calm. However, the middle-aged couple could not hide the gloom, disbelief, anger and disappointment on their faces...
In the last thirty minutes, everyone was watching the stone monument, focusing on the five Zeus rookies on the fifth level. Sunless was the fastest to obtain victory and head to the fifth level, but soon, news of three defeats appeared!
The female whopper was defeated by that cute girl from Gaia, Mozzie!
The burly teenager had been defeated by the blond youth from Gaia, Kevin!
The pigtailed youth had been defeated by the short-haired girl from Gaia, Mu Yuesheng!
The outcome of the three battles was displayed on the stone monument for all to see!
The people who were discussing how long the three Gaia rookies could last a moment ago had all shut their mouths.
The middle-aged couple that wanted to make snide remarks at Yama Minamiya and Riko felt as though they had eaten a fly. They could not produce a single sound for a long time!
This result was too sudden and too incredulous!
A bizarre but silent atmosphere pervaded the entire auditorium. The crowd that had been smacked ruthlessly in the face no longer knew what to say.
The rookies of Gaia, a second-tier organization, against rookies of Zeus, a first-tier organization ended up in three out of three victories?
Two of these lineups had their duels end in less than ten seconds in the recent battle exchange. And at this moment, the outcome was completely reversed?
What had just happened?
No, it should be said, what drugs did those three Gaia rookies eat?
How was it possible for them to make such an amazing reversal?
Without being able to use words and comments to express their feelings of shock and distraught, everyone could only remain silent. Even if their faces had swollen from being smacked, there was no way to retort stubbornly.
The first person to break the silence was Riko. Flowers were already blooming in her heart from the joy she was experiencing. The beaming smile on her beautiful face could melt the eyes of everyone, but even so she said with a smile, "At Gaia and Zeus's battle exchange, Tu Dahei once said—Gaia is filled with hidden talents! In fact, these three rookies are hidden talents. The performance at the battle exchange was just to hide their true strength
, but now, having met an old rival, they could not spare them since it was an elimination duel. So everyone, there's no need to be shocked. The matter is just like that, nothing much."
Riko sat down after saying those words. Her eyes were narrowed into the shape of crescents as she commended Mozzie and company for producing such impressive results.
This was the most pleasant moment in years before she could vent her unhappiness in public as a person from Gaia.
Yama Minamiya helplessly shook his head. His daughter's actions were beginning to resemble Shi Xiaobai's. This was problematic!
Yama Minamiya coughed slightly and said, "I wish everyone will not over-emphasize this matter. I believe everyone knows that Gaia has been keeping a low profile all these years, so this matter is truly nothing. It's only defeating Zeus, just three victories out of three. Nothing much."
After Yama Minamiya said this, he immediately felt exceedingly cool.
Fuck, the word 'only' is truly artistic!
Everyone was at a loss for words. They only had one thought in their minds:
You are awesome, I'll just quietly watch you posture.
The middle-aged couple had livid expressions. They could not remain silent and just as they wanted to stir up a storm, the elderly God of Swords immediately stared at them. He gave a repressed shout, "Aren't you going to the medical ward to check on the children?"
The middle-aged couple could only nod their heads and leave the auditorium filled with indignation. They did not even dare to say any redeeming words before they left. There was no other way. With three victories out of three, especially against Gaia, which they taunted so much, their faces had been smacked so much that they swelled into pigs’ heads.
The silence in the auditorium remained for a few moments before someone suddenly said, "Look, Shi Xiaobai and Heartless's battle is not over! Anyone has any guesses how their fight is going?"
Immediately, someone responded, "It has to be abnormally fiery, with both sides pushing hard at it, fighting a desperate battle, constantly exceeding their limits and surpassing each other. A battle of the century which no one is willing to lag behind!"
People in the auditorium began to discuss immediately.
There was no other way. Their faces hurt from the smacking. There was a need to change subjects!
...
...
Fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, Battle Arena #2
"Tu Dahei, you are actually a lefty, right!?"
When Heartless said this, his expression looked serious. However, his tone was mostly being jovial and feeling helplessness.
He obviously knew that Tu Dahei was not a lefty. The clumsiness at the beginning could not be faked, but at this moment, Tu Dahei's use of his left hand was smooth, without even the slightest delay. He was more lefty than a lefty.
This dramatic improvement only took him about thirty minutes!
Such terrifying adaptability was completely unheard of!
Shi Xiaobai grinned and said in high spirits, "What a joke. How can This King be compared to mortals like you. This King is ambidextrous, proficient with both left and right hands!"
Heartless could not help but roll his eyes. This Tu Dahei actually acknowledged his praise for him.
Heartless took a deep breath and said seriously, "Tu Dahei, I only used 60% of my strength during the three hundred strikes. It is also to repay you for the mercy you showed me. From now on, I'll be using my full strength."
Homecoming Sword was the most basic sword technique for Heartless. It was equivalent to his ‘Beginner Sword’.
He only used Homecoming Sword three hundred times as a form of repaying Shi Xiaobai's mercy when he was defeated because of the “black sword’s rebellion”.
But in the three hundred clashes, Shi Xiaobai had went from 'barely struggling' to 'seizing the opportunity to counterattack'. Such terrifying learning capacity made Heartless fear holding back.
This was a monster that would surpass you if you were a little inattentive!
"Come on!"
Shi Xiaobai nodded as his eyes became brighter. The fighting spirit in his eyes burned hotter.
Heartless' Homecoming Sword was after all his ‘Beginner Sword’, but wasn't Shi Xiaobai also using Beginner Sword all this time?
After the three hundred clashes, Shi Xiaobai had conquered the unfamiliarity of using his left hand. After gaining the quintessence of using his left hand was the best time for him to use Kun Peng Sword Technique with his left hand!
The two lifted their swords and faced each other once again.
This duel did not seem like there was an obsession towards victory, but more like a sword exchange with mutual respect!
"Ha!"
Heartless suddenly boomed with a low pitch. The white psionic sword in his hand was immediately enveloped by azure rings. The azure aura was like layers of condensate film, reflective and crystalline. When the sword moved, it would produce ripples, just like ripples that appeared on an azure water surface.
A light azure glow suddenly enveloped Heartless's body. His entire body was wrapped in an azure liquid membrane as it emitted a cold aura outwards. Heartless was extremely handsome to begin with, and now with him shrouded in the azure glow, his mortality seemed extinguished, making him as striking as an immortal that had descended.

Chapter279 You shall be defeated by this sword attack
Amid the azure halo, Heartless looked like an immortal that had descended.
"My master is Jian Xilai of the Kun Peng Sword Sect. With a single Kun Peng Sword Technique, he has dominated the world with his sword. He has been a God of Swords for decades and he has yet to be defeated! My sister and I have been cultivating in the Kun Peng Sword Technique since we were young. I'm said to be a sword prodigy, and I have gained insights into the lower form of the Kun Peng. My sister is slightly better, gaining insights into the middle form of the Kun Peng! With just the lower form of the Kun Peng, among my peers, I have only lost to my sister!"
When Heartless said this, he suddenly slashed towards his side. An azure sword beam flew out immediately, turning into sword-shaped water wave. The water wave suddenly froze into a frost icicle before shattering, turning into bits and pieces of snowflakes. As the snowflakes descended, each of them contained immense sword intent. They carved streaks into the ground when they landed.
The sword beam condensed into water, water froze into frost, frost shattered into snow, snow fell as swords!
The weird multi-fold changes all happened in an instant, but it was a coherent and complete picture. It was hard to discern with the naked eye. It felt that every transformation of the sword beam contained a different sword intent, and each level of sword intent seemed to contain nomological sword truths!
"This is the lower form of the Kun Peng—The northern darkness has Kun, waters stir at a flick of its tail!"
Heartless looked at Shi Xiaobai and said, "You shall be defeated by this sword attack!"
You shall be defeated by this sword attack!
This sounded so extremely domineering that it could not be contained!
Shi Xiaobai gaped slightly, but he was not astounded. Instead, he was amazed—Holy shit, Kun Peng Sword Technique was this awesome?
Shi Xiaobai had gained insights into the upper form of the Kun Peng from the mantra and had even cultivated it to the Familiarized Proficiency realm, but he did not find it particularly powerful. He felt that compared to the silver-armored blond woman he saw in his mind that slashed out golden sword beams that filled the world, it was just too weak.
But at this moment, Heartless had touted the Kun Peng Sword Technique as though it was nearly ascending the heavens!
"Did This King do it wrongly?"
Shi Xiaobai began to wonder.
The lower form of the Kun Peng that Heartless used was something Shi Xiaobai had observed several times f
rom Sunless. However, Sunless's lower form of the Kun Peng was not as exquisite as Heartless's. She did not achieve the transformation of sword beams into the four states of water. All she produced was biting cold sword intent.
However, Sunless's middle form of the Kun Peng was able to slash out stormy blade edges, with sword energies transforming into wind that blustered forward, as though thousands of fine sword beams were simultaneously slashed out.
From Shi Xiaobai's observation, he believed that the lower form and middle form of the Kun Peng Sunless used was characterized by the power of low temperatures and sword-wind manifestation, making it completely counter to the upper form's power of high temperatures and sword-fire manifestation.
But from the looks of it, that did not seem to be the only case?
Shi Xiaobai suddenly found something suspicious as his eyes gradually brightened.
"Sunless failed to attain the quintessence of the lower form of the Kun Peng!"
Shi Xiaobai came up with such a conclusion.
Sunless had focused on cultivating the middle form of the Kun Peng; hence, she was able to achieve sword-wind manifestation. Due to neglect in the lower form, she did not comprehend its essence!
As for Heartless, he was completely opposite. He was unable to comprehend the middle form, so he put all his effort in the lower form. Hence, he was able to achieve sword-water manifestation!
The northern darkness has Kun, waters stir at a flick of its tail!
It changes into Peng, winds arise at a flap of its wings!
This was the true essence of the Kun Peng Sword Technique. The Kun swam in water, so sword-water manifestation. The Peng flew amid the winds, so sword-wind manifestation!
If that was the case, the lower and middle form of the Kun Peng were the Kun Sword and the Peng Sword respectively. Combining the two together achieved the complete Kun Peng Sword!
But even so, what was the situation with the upper form?
Kun-Stewing Wok?
Two Peng Grills?
Compared to the stirring of water with a flick of the tail and the arising of winds at the flap of wings, the upper form did not resemble the Kun Peng Sword Technique at all. It appeared rather redundant, and seemed...
