"Princess Xiao Xiao's Wind Walk has already reached the Exemplary Mastery realm. She is indeed fully deserving of being called a proud daughter of Heaven!"
In the commentator stands, Biscuit gave his judgment from his rich experience.
The audience was stunned silent. To be able to cultivate any skill to the Familiarized Proficiency in the Psionic Mortal Realm was an extremely impressive feat. Those who could cultivate to the Exemplary Mastery realm could only be described as freak geniuses.
And Princess Xiao Xiao was such a genius!
WindWithoutTrace, who was completely left far behind, also realized that Xiao Xiao's Wind Walk had reached the Exemplary Mastery realm. His proud heart was instantly shattered as the distance that slowly opened up between them was like the despairing distance between a true genius and him.
"Not letting me off? With that clumsy and laughable Wind Walk of yours?"
When WindWithoutTrace suddenly recalled Xiao Xiao's disdainful words, he suddenly found it hard to breathe. It was as though there was an invisible hand tightly grasping his throat.
Suddenly, his pupils abruptly shrunk because he saw that at a distance hundred meters away from him, Xiao Xiao had already pulled her bow open. The shimmering crystal arrow under the sunlight was already prepared to shoot.

Chapter78 Doomed Sooner or Later
The moment after Xiao Xiao finished pulling her bow open, WindWithoutTrace had the thought of escaping before the arrow shot out. His moving body immediately changed course and headed for the dense jungle. Soon, he was shuttling through the trees.
"Poplar Piercing Arrow!"
The crystal arrow penetrated through numerous trees, boring huge holes through tree trunks and nearly instantly appeared behind WindWithoutTrace.
"Bronze Armor Shield!"
WindWithoutTrace shouted loudly as a bronze-colored shield appeared behind him. Although Bronze Armor Shield was an E Class psionic defensive skill, it was stronger than Shi Xiaobai's Wavelet Shield in terms of defensive strength. His Psionic Ability realm did not differ too much from Xiao Xiao, and after having numerous trees retarding the arrow, the Bronze Armor Shield naturally managed to block Xiao Xiao's crystal arrow.
Although "Poplar Piercing Arrow" was a D Class archery offensive skill, it was something that placed more focus on accuracy, so it was less powerful.
Why did Xiao Xiao use such a long-distance archery technique that focused on accuracy despite the short distance?
This thought flashed in WindWithoutTrace's mind. At the moment he blocked the Poplar Piercing Arrow, he thought of something that caused his pupils to violently contract.
"It's a locator arrow!"
A locator arrow was like an army's reconnaissance troops. They would sacrifice themselves to discover the enemy's location, allowing the troops from behind to catch up. In the field of archery, a locator arrow was usually used to pinpoint the target before an extremely powerful but low accuracy shot was delivered.
Hence, the fatal move was the next one!
Upon coming to this realization, WindWithoutTrace suddenly stopped and raised his hands to the sky.
"Black Iron Barrier!"
The moment a black barrier was propped up, a rain of arrows came falling from the sky. Hundreds of crystal arrows came raining down at WindWithoutTrace as though they were blotting out the sky.
"Peng! Peng! ..."
Numerous collision sounds and explosions echoed as the black barrier began to crack, and would shatter at any moment.
"Boom!"
The barrier only managed to last for a few seconds before it completely shattered. WindWithoutTrace appeared from inside the barrier with spear in hand. His hair fell backwards as he looked up at the inexhaustible rain of arrows and roared loudly.
"Wind Spear Dance!"
His spear kept stabbing and as he turned around and made a sweep, his footwork were like an elegant dance. As he brandished his spear, a silver-colored whirlwind began to form around his body.
"Clang! Clang! Clang..."
The impact between the silver spear and the crystal arrows constantly produced explosive sounds as numerous crystal arrows that came falling down were sent flying by the silver spear.
Moments later, the rain of arrows finally ceased, but when WindWithoutTrace took a look around him, there was not even a single crystal arrow on the ground! The only three arrows in the entire area were embedded in his body!
"Illusion Arrow Rain! What a terrifying woman."
Illusion Arrow Rain was a C Class archery offensive skill. It was extremely difficult to learn, and just shooting three arrows was sufficient to create the illusion of a sky filled with arrows. It was an offensive skill that could instantly kill enemies with weak wills. WindWithoutTrace's Black Iron Barrier was shattered because of the terror brought by the rain of arrows.
WindWithoutTrace forcefully pulled out the three arrows in his body. Although he had lowered the pain setting to 10%, the pain of pulling the arrows still made him clench his teeth. He felt his life draining away and after a momentary internal struggle, he took out the "Energy Pearl". The system asked him in his mind if he wanted to use it as he immediately chose "Yes".
The Energy Pearl transformed into a blob of red light that merged into WindWithoutTrace's body. The three wounds on his body instantly recovered, and he recovered most of the health points he lost. The stunning effects surprised WindWithoutTrace as he suddenly felt a feeling of hatred and greed.
WindWithoutTrace only spent a few seconds to use the Energy Pearl to recover from his injuries, but he did not dare stay here for long. Immediately, he turned around and headed deeper into the jungle. He had two ideas at the moment. Firstly, keep away from Xiao Xiao because she was too terrifying! Secondly, find that arrogant clown and kill him before he used the Energy Pearl, so that he could obtain possession of an Energy Pearl!
On the other side of the jungle, Xiao Xiao gradually put away her crystal bow. She did not pursue him or send another arrow because she did not wish for the early elimination of WindWithoutTrace. To be precise, she wished that the other contestants would be able to last a little bit longer.
A moving target for practice that was more resilient was better, wasn't it?
However, Xiao Xiao was slightly disappointed. This was because WindWithoutTrace, who had the highest Psionic Ability realm amongst the other six contestants, could not even put up a fight. He could not even defend against a C Class Illusion Arrow Rain. If she really used an A Class archery technique she wanted to cultivate, wouldn't she instantly kill them?
"Maybe, the targets were chosen wrongly from the outset. It was just wishful thinking on Grandpa's part that virtual competition is very useful in increasing a skill's proficiency. Forget it, I'll treat it as playing a boring game."
With this thought in mind, Xiao Xiao turned around and walked slowly in a random direction into the jungle.
...
In the commentator stands, Biscuit and Sweets looked each other in the eye and revealed a wry smile.
Sweets sighed and said, "WindWithoutTrace's Psionic Ability realm is not too far behind, but his combat skills are just too inferior. Princess Xiao Xiao and the other contestants are on a different level."
Biscuit followed up, "Pehua University is China's highest institute of learning. To be able to enrol in Pehua University, Princess Xiao Xiao has to be excellent in various aspects. However, the strength she has revealed to us has stunned me. Wind Walk at the Exemplary Mastery realm, Poplar Piercing Arrow at the Familiarized Proficiency realm and Illusion Arrow Rain at the Familiarized Proficiency realm. These excellent achievements in the Psionic Mortal Realm might just be the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Princess Xiao Xiao. It's really shocking. I think Princess Xiao Xiao is a sparkling presence even in the genius-filled Pehua University."
Sweets sighed and said, "Although as a commentator, I shou
ld not pass any absolute judgment, but I have to tell everyone that even if the remaining five contestants joined forces, they would be no match for Princess Xiao Xiao. She is invincible in this competition!"
Biscuit said, "However, did anyone notice one thing? Why did Princess Xiao Xiao participate in this week's weekly match? Is there a deeper meaning to the rules she established herself? I believe Princess Xiao Xiao would not waste her precious time over the weekend to play a noob abusing game. She definitely has a deeper purpose. We can anticipate this reason as we watch on!"
Biscuit was still trying to think of a way raise the audience's emotions and anticipation.
The audience in the viewing hall was already astounded by Xiao Xiao's immense power. Having heard the two commentators' analysis, they could only silently accept that there was no suspense to who would achieve overall victory for the match. At the same time, they also placed all their expectations on Xiao Xiao. Even last week's victor, WindWithoutTrace, was beaten up so brutally, so what else was there to look forward to with the other contestants?
At this moment, the scene cut to a person. That person was striding leisurely along a small forest trail. As the cameras zoomed in, a careful look indicated it to be IChooseDogLeading.
IChooseDogLeading's hands were held backwards as he strolled leisurely. As he walked, he shouted, "Spicy chickens, my dear spicy chickens, where are all of you...?"
Everyone was stunned hearing this.
Sweets was so stunned that she covered her mouth.
Biscuit said with mixed emotions, "Candidate DogLeading will be doomed sooner or later!"
At the same time, the bottom right corner of the screen revealed an overlay box that took up a quarter of the screen. The box was a miniature version of the jungle, and on it, there were six cartoon avatars on the map that indicated where the six contestants were and where they were heading to.
From this map, it could be clearly seen that the three-man team were stationary at a spot, as though they were waiting for something or were preparing an ambush.
About half the jungle's distance away from the three-man team, WindWithoutTrace was moving at an extremely fast speed, while Princess Xiao Xiao was following closely behind at a gentle pace.
However, an astounding thing happened. The avatar that represented Shi Xiaobai on the map was almost about to encounter the three-man team. If Shi Xiaobai did not change his direction, he would reach the trio's ambush spot in a couple of minutes.
Furthermore, WindWithoutTrace and Princess Xiao Xiao, who were traveling at different speeds, one ahead of the other, were also heading in Shi Xiaobai's direction.
At this moment, Shi Xiaobai was about to enter a trap, while there were hunters behind him, putting him in great jeopardy!
Biscuit blurted out, "Candidate DogLeading is doomed!"

Chapter79 Giving you Full Marks for Customer Service
"Someone is coming. Heh heh, it's that retarded clown."
ThatTenderOneShot stood in a tree, hidden amidst tree leaves. Through his telescopic sight, he saw the strolling Shi Xiaobai from afar. He whispered to the other two who were also camouflaged in the jungle.
ThatTenderOneShot squinted his eyes slightly. At this moment, Shi Xiaobai was completely open. He moved his sights on Shi Xiaobai's head and his fingers moved slightly, as though he was about to pull the trigger.
"Brother Tender, didn't we agree that you will only strike if DualBlades and I are not his match. If you were to kill that retarded clown in one shot, we can't keep up this alliance."
GunfireInTheWorld had sensed ThatTenderOneShot's intentions, and as a person with a fiery temper, he did not know how to be tactful. He immediately sent a warning.
ThatTenderOneShot's secretly sneered and weighed the pros and cons before slowly removing his finger from the trigger.
"Darn it, that retard would definitely have died if I made the shot."
ThatTenderOneShot cursed in his heart. He found it a great pity to lose such an opportunity. Although he did not know the clown's Psionic Ability realm, he would have definitely scored a fatal shot on a target so wide out in the open. It did not matter even if it was Xiao Xiao who was at the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm.
"Here he comes. I'll attack first but if my Tsunami Scatter Shot fails to put holes in him, it will be your turn, DualBlades."
GunfireInTheWorld shook the machine gun in his chest as DualBladesToTraverseTheWorld nodded. He silently pulled out two blades from his hips.
At the same time, Shi Xiaobai had already arrived in the region where the three-man team was hidden. He was approaching straight for the shrubbery where GunfireInTheWorld and DualBladesToTraverseTheWorld's hid.
As the audience held their breaths, the two commentators also turned silent. They also knew that "IChooseDogLeading" was only at the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm and knew that the three-man team hated him deeply, so it was impossible for them to not know that "IChooseDogLeading" was doomed!
Shi Xiaobai was about three meters away from the shrubbery as GunfireInTheWorld's eyes lit up. Immediately, he jumped out of the shrubs and appeared in front of Shi Xiaobai!
"Die, motherfucker!"
"The spicy chicken has finally appeared!"
The two voices shouted out at the same time from two different mouths, and what followed was the sound of a series of machine gun shots!
"Da Da Da Da Da..."
Bullets constantly spewed out of the gun's barrel as they left a streak in their wake, as though they were the angry growls of a fierce beast. GunfireInTheWorld raised his machine gun and sprayed his rounds from left to right and then back from right to left, again and again. As he sprayed at an extremely fast speed, the bullets were like silver sea waves that came crashing down at Shi Xiaobai. The waves came in one after another, as though they would drown every lifeform in front of them!
The audience in the viewing halls gasped. Some closed their eyes while others shook their heads with a sigh.
Shi Xiaobai nearly smiled. He liked such a welcome!
"Crab Steps' repeated side hops!"
Shi Xiaobai did not choose the simplest method of dodging with a jump or flash evasion. Instead he stood in his original spot before he began repeatedly hopping laterally!
Against wavelike bullets, wasn't jumping sidewards in a repeated fashion courting death?
However, a miracle happened!
Shi Xiaobai's figure jumped from left to right without any pattern as the wave of bullets came spraying at him like a tsunami. He was like a crab that had lost its way, however, the bullets seemed to pierce through his body without hitting him!
"Da Da Da..."
GunfireInTheWorld stared with widened eyes, but found what he saw unbelievable. He increased the speed at which he sprayed the bullets and changed the pattern at which he spewed the bullets, causing the shooting trajectories to even begin to jitter. However, despite the bullets that came out of the barrel seemingly overwhelm the clown's body, why did that funny-looking side hops manage to evade all the bullets!?
"How...how did he do it?" Sweets exclaimed in the commentator stands.
A strange glow flashed in Biscuit's eyes as he said solemnly, "We all know that it is impossible for a machine gun to shoot out bullets all at the same time. Instead, it is shot out one bullet at a time at an extremely fast speed. So there is definitely a time gap in between the bullets, and it is this time gap that contestant DogLeading is using."
Sweets exclaimed, "The difference in time is probably 0.0001 seconds or less. How do you even use that? Just by side-hopping repeatedly?"
Biscuit suddenly said loudly, "Do you think this is just simple repeated side hops? From everyone's point of view, contestant DogLeading might be jumping from left to right, but in fact, he is repeating countless side hops in an instant. His every muscle is moving from left to right, and through the countless side hope
s, he is perfectly using the gap between each individual bullet!"
Sweets seldom saw her father so excited and was momentarily stunned. She looked carefully at the simple looking side hops that had managed to dodge every bullet in the rain of bullets. Just thinking of Biscuit's theory filled her beautiful eyes with shock.
The audience was even more shocked that they forgot to breathe. The machine gun was only three meters away from Shi Xiaobai, and as the waves of bullets roared at him like a tsunami, he kept insisting on jumping. The repeated side hops did not look elegant and even looked funny. However, in the eyes of everyone, this was fucking awesome. He was absolutely cool!
They could not help but have a strange thought.
Was this godlike DogLeading really at the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm?
"Da Da Da...Da!"
As the bullets sprayed, it caused dust to burst up and trees to collapse. The ground was filled with countless holes.
Only when the last bullet was shot out from the barrel did the machine gun finally cease firing. GunfireInTheWorld's eyes were completely in a daze as he had sprayed his bullet for nearly half a minute. His enhanced super heavy-duty machine gun could shoot a thousand rounds, but not a single one of them hit the unbridled clown!
At a distance of three meters, the clown did not make any large moves. All he did was simple repeated side hops to dodge his tsunami spraying of bullets. Was this a dream?
GunfireInTheWorld was completely stunned.
"Hey, why aren't you changing your magazine?"
An anxious voice snapped GunfireInTheWorld out of his daze. He looked up and noticed the clown looking at him as though he had enjoyed the entire process. Underneath his mask, his eyes were filled with anticipation.
Change magazine? Oh right, although the magazine was empty, just changing it would allow him to shoot again.
But...
"Are you trying to humiliate me?"
GunfireInTheWorld's face was flushed red as he angrily shouted.
