Absolute Choice 2

by Pear Lands In The Autumn Spring

  So when he limped out, he could not help but ask—Heh, Girl, that arrow of yours, can you send another hundred of them towards This King?

  ……

  Shi Xiaobai's appearance and his arrogant-sounding words stunned everyone. They were suddenly reminded of the fact that the system had never announced the elimination of IChooseDogLeading. That arrow had failed to kill God DogLeading!

  The audience laughed. Shi Xiaobai's request for another hundred arrows reminded them of the return of God DogLeading. Just thinking of the godly Crab Steps God DogLeading used, they felt like there was something to look forward to.

  Kevin was equally stunned because God DogLeading had addressed himself as "This King". It reminded him of an extremely annoying person, a person who was equally arrogant and ostentatious.

  "Do you think he is very similar to Shi Xiaobai?"

  A voice filled with mixed emotions echoed in his ear as Kevin turned around to realize it was Yang Yang.

  He knitted his eyebrows and angrily said, "Do not compare my God DogLeading and that retard, Shi Xiaobai. Shi Xiaobai might be lucky to be a genius, but his strength is nothing but garbage. As for God DogLeading, he has true strength. No matter how much a genius Shi Xiaobai is, he will still need to take several years to cultivate Crab Steps to the Exemplary Mastery realm. And by then, God DogLeading would have long attained an even more terrifying realm. The differences between them are staggering!"

  Upon hearing this, Yang Yang fell silent for a moment before he said in a deep, meaningful manner, "If...IChooseDogLeading is actually Shi Xiaobai?"

  "Impossible!"

  Kevin immediately denied the possibility as he said, "Heh heh, can you use your brain when speaking? How long has Shi Xiaobai begun Psionic Ability cultivation? If God DogLeading is Shi Xiaobai, I'll run naked around Steel City."

  Yang Yang opened his mouth, but turned his head and fell silent. He could not help but imagine Kevin running naked. That would definitely be the funniest thing in the world, but why...couldn't he laugh at all?

  ……

  Another person who could not laugh was Biscuit. When he announced that the competition had just begun, the three-man team was immediately killed. When he later announced that the competition was over, Shi Xiaobai immediately walked out, figuratively smacking him in the face.

  Although it was nearly routine for his face to be smacked, having his face smacked at light speed twice in a row made him feel a tiny bit of melancholy.

  This was fucking embarrassing.

  In order to alleviate his embarrassment, Biscuit coughed and said, "God DogLeading still has that familiar vibe! He is still as arrogant, and equally surprising with his words. I wonder how Princess Xiao Xiao will answer!"

  Upon hearing this, the audience immediately pricked up their ears in order to hear Princess Xiao Xiao's answer.

  Xiao Xiao did not answer, but instead responded with a question, "Can you resist a hundred arrows?"

  Shi Xiaobai's appearance took Xiao Xiao somewhat aback. She could not understand how this person had survived having been directly struck by Crimson Netherworld. Furthermore, when she heard Shi Xiaobai's words, she found it amusing.

  Whether she could shoot a hundred arrows wasn't critical, what was critical was if there was anyone who could resist a hundred Crimson Netherworld.

  "This King can't resist it."

  Shi Xiaobai answered.

  "Oh."

  Xiao Xiao coldly responded. It was an answer that was within her expectations.

  "But This King can dodge them all."

  Shi Xiaobai spoke once again with a tone filled with confidence.

  Xiao Xiao was stunned as she said in amusement, "Are you saying you can dodge a hundred Crimson Netherworld?"

  Shi Xiaobai nodded and said as though it was a matter of fact, "Of course, there is no attack in this world that This King's Crab Steps can't dodge in one step. If there is one, then two steps would do."

  "Girl, you haven't answered This King. Are you able to shoot another hundred arrows?"

  Upon sensing the seriousness and confidence in Shi Xiaobai's words, Xiao Xiao suddenly recalled that before she came, this person, the three-man team and WindWithoutTrace were in the same area. Logically speaking, with him saying 'everyone present is a spicy chicken' during the pre-battle declaration, the four people would have skinned him alive, but he had yet to be eliminated up to now.

  Could it be...

  An inexplicable hint of anticipation rose up in Xiao Xiao's heart. She summoned her crystal arrow once again and softly said, "I will shoot out as many arrows as you can dodge, I hope...you would last longer."

  As she spoke, Xiao Xiao had already strung her arrow and pulled the bowstring open.

  Then, let her have a tiny bit of anticipation.

  Chapter88 To be Killed to the Ends of Time

  Xiao Xiao pulled her bow open as she aimed at Shi Xiaobai. With that, Shi Xiaobai began moving. Although he was not making any significant moves, he was doing repeated side-hops at an extremely fast speed. The illusory figures that appeared as he jumped was dazzling.

  Compared to the three-man team, Shi Xiaobai did not choose to remain motionless. Instead, he chose to repeatedly jump from side to side in order to confuse Xiao Xiao. It was meant to reduce her shooting accuracy because Xiao Xiao's "Crimson Netherworld" very clearly gave him a great deal of pressure.

  Shi Xiaobai could easily react and dodge with an explosive move at the instant DualBladesToTraverseTheWorld attacked with his dual blade offensive skills or if it was GunfireInTheWorld with his Tsunami Scatter Shot. However, not only was "Crimson Netherworld" powerful, but it was also many times faster than bullets. Most important of all, the arrow contained a terrifying bloody aura. Once it locked on its target, it would cause apprehension in the target's heart, temporarily putting the target in a trance.

  The reason why "Crimson Netherworld" was an A Class offensive skill was because it was no simple arrow. It could make a person have a terrifying illusion of falling into the netherworld!

  Although Shi Xiaobai did not understand the battle characteristics of "Crimson Netherworld", his intuition told him that he had to move. This intuition appeared very often when he faced opponents at the level of Thomas. There was still a huge gap between Xiao Xiao's strength and Thomas', but her "Crimson Netherworld" exuded a threatening aura that rivaled Thomas' "Wraith Bullet".

  As such, Shi Xiaobai moved. He pushed himself to his limits right from the beginning of the battle!

  What kind of scene would it be like with Shi Xiaobai pushing Crab Steps to his fullest extent?

  In the audience’s eyes, Shi Xiaobai had transformed into a series of indiscernible figures. The high frequency side hops and the fake moves from the dynamic change in speed startled everyone.

  And in Xiao Xiao's eyes, this funny crab-like figure that also seemed extremely elegant made her hesitate. She paused, unsure of when to shoot the arrow.

  "So this is the confidence that makes you claim that you can dodge a hundred arrows."

  At this moment, Xiao Xiao smiled. It was a smile that was a result of joy that came from deep within her heart. This figure that made her unable to aim precisely and even exerted great pressure on her, wasn't it the worthy opponent she had always been searching for?

  "I'm greatly looking forward to the number of arrows you can dodge."

  At that moment, Xiao Xiao knew that it would be very difficult to hit Shi Xiaobai, but she did not believe that Shi Xiaobai could dodge all her arrows. It was predicated in her confidence that she would improve. Furthermore, it would improve rapidly in this battle before she completely flung Shi Xiaobai behind. This was a bedrock confidence in herself, one that had never wavered!

  Xiao Xiao released her fingers as "Crimson Netherworld" shot out suddenly. Amidst the sounds of explosions, dust was blasted into the sky.

  Moments late
r, as the dust settled, the figure was still jumping around as though nothing had happened. The arrow had missed its target losing its meaning.

  But so what?

  Xiao Xiao quickly shot out another arrow and it still possessed as much power as before, but it still missed!

  The smile on Xiao Xiao's lips became more pronounced. Two arrows that missed did not discourage her at all. On the contrary, it made the fighting spirit in her eyes and anticipation in her heart burn even more intensely. It was so intense that she nearly could not stop herself from laughing out.

  This guy was the opponent she had been looking for!

  In that case, everything would no longer be as simple as before.

  What she needed to do was to constantly shoot her arrows. By forcing herself to shoot at a faster rate, she would have to fully concentrate in order to catch a glimpse of him, honing her accuracy in the process. She needed to improve herself with every arrow that missed until she was able to hit him!

  However, she wished the arrow that ended the battle would come later. She wished that this guy could also constantly improve in battle, allowing her to progress longer in battle. This way, the gap she would open up would extend further.

  "Improve, keep running. Do not let me catch you easily. Because at the moment you get pierced by my arrow, I will find it a great pity, a great, great pity!"

  While having this thought in mind, Xiao Xiao could sense the pressure Shi Xiaobai exerted on her. She could feel how the pressure was giving her motivation and improving her. She even began to worry over the moment the battle ended.

  When a true opponent was encountered, every shot of the arrow could bring with it a little bit of progress. Every attempt at aiming could enhance a tiny bit of her perception. This feeling was excellent, it was so excellent that Xiao Xiao could not bear to surpass him.

  But it was a pity that she was destined to surpass this youth that used Crab Steps. Regardless of how refined his Crab Steps were, regardless of how many arrows he dodged, she would very quickly get adapted to it. Learning, progressing and eventually surpassing.

  Because this was her life, a life of a genius born into this world.

  ...

  "Improve, keep running, don't let This King fling you far behind. Because at the moment you can't exert the slightest pressure on This King, This King will find it a great pity, a great, great pity!"

  Shi Xiaobai smiled. He could sense how each shot from Xiao Xiao was stronger than the previous one. It exerted more and more pressure on him. This feeling excited him greatly because he seemed to make contact with the reality of becoming strong under this constantly increasing pressure.

  Every time he dodged her arrow, his Crab Steps would improve a tiny bit. Every time he confused her eyes that were every-sharpening, his fake moves would become even more natural.

  It was a feeling that could not be explained. It was as though the arrow-shooting girl had a same rhythm as he had. They were in a race on the same path, while he was attempting to fling her far behind, while she attempted to chase up to him. However, their speeds were no different. As a result, they were constantly pushing themselves to the limit, allowing them to run even faster. However, the speed at which they improved themselves was similar. It resulted in no one being able to overtake the other.

  They maintained a constant distance on the same path. As their improvements collided, they formed a delicate balance.

  At that moment, Shi Xiaobai was overjoyed. This was because his Crab Steps might be able to cultivate to the Dominating Refinement realm. He believed that meeting such a girl was truly a great thing.

  At that moment, Xiao Xiao beamed with her eyes. This was because her Crimson Netherworld was very likely to cultivate to the Exemplary Mastery realm. She believed that meeting this guy was an extremely good thing.

  ...

  Red beams flashed through the jungle as incessant explosions rang. The land was dotted with large craters as trees constantly toppled. It looked as though doomsday had arrived.

  And in the foreground of this doomsday, there was a young man jumping around, issuing hearty laughters from time to time.

  There was also a girl who held a crystal bow in hand. The wind blew up her hair, adding to her fairy-like beauty. She produced a chime-like laughter from time to time.

  They were in an intense battle but they appeared like they were enjoying a pleasant exchange. Their laughters that came from the bottom of their hearts contrasted with the explosions as the two different sounds teetered. It made what looked like a completely desolate scene have an inexplicable sense of beauty.

  This scene was truly amazing and beautiful.

  The audience was already dumbfounded.

  "Is this still a battle? Why do I feel like it is a lovers' fight?" A member of the audience expressed his feelings.

  "You aren't the only one thinking that." Another member of the audience echoed his sentiments.

  The audience began to laugh kindly.

  Such an intense battle had made the two of them produce sentiments that seemed to border on love. From the joy that seemed to come from the bottom of their hearts, it made people feel like this battle would last to the end of time.

  Maybe the end of time was overly exaggerated, but everyone present had no doubt that this battle would continue on for a very long period of time.

  Suddenly, keen-eyed members of the audience saw a strange shadow at the borders of the screen.

  "Be careful!"

  Numerous members of the audience spontaneously shouted out those two words!

  However, the person the two words were meant for was currently in another world. There was no way to hear their voices. Furthermore, the person was immersed in an intense battle, probably completely in a trance-like state.

  Indeed, Xiao Xiao did not hear the warnings from the audience, nor did she sense a figure that had suddenly appeared behind her, much less realize that a cold spear was stabbing right at her waist!

  Xiao Xiao was indulging in her long-awaited battle.

  By the time she was alerted to the danger, the cold spear had pierced through her abdomen!

  Chapter89 If you can do it then you should go up and do it

  The cold spear pierced through Xiao Xiao's abdomen, spewing a scarlet splash of liquid that resembled a blood lotus. Time seemed to freeze at that very moment.

  "Princess Xiao Xiao!"

  The audience stared with widened eyes as they gasped.

  As they looked carefully, they were taken aback when they realize that the person who had sneakily attacked from behind was WindWithoutTrace!

  At this moment, WindWithoutTrace's eyes were red. His expression was ferocious and he looked like a devil!

  "Die."

  A cold, grim voice spat out from WindWithoutTrace's mouth, sending chills down people's spine.

  Why did WindWithoutTrace suddenly sneakily attack Princess Xiao Xiao who had saved him? Was he pretending to be unconscious?

  Questions filled everyone's minds, but they did not have any time to think because Xiao Xiao's situation was already critical!

  The cold spear would only take at most another second to completely penetrate her frail body!

  In this extremely dangerous moment, Xiao Xiao was exceptionally calm. She hurriedly stretched out her right hand to grip the spear tip. As she forcefully pushed the spear backwards, she used Wind Walk to surge forward, allowing her to escape in an instant.

  Xiao Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood as she began to feel lucky. She hated pain since she was young; hence, before entering the virtual world, she had instructed the professional technicians to reduce the pain levels to less than 10%. As a result, she only felt a fleeting moment of pain that was like a slight prick when her abdomen was pierced. This allowed her to maintain her consciousness.

  However, after running about two steps, Xiao Xiao felt her body turn heavy and h
er limbs go soft. Only then did she realize that injuries in this extremely realistic virtual world would affect her bodily functions. Having suffered a grievous injury to her abdomen, her body could no longer support her usage of Wind Walk.

  Xiao Xiao turned anxious as she heard the air crack, as though there was a sonic boom. She hurriedly turned her head over to see a cold spear tip attacking her. It was just inches away from her throat!

  Even in a virtual world, the feeling of an impending death was extremely realistic, it was so realistic that Xiao Xiao unconsciously closed her eyes at that very moment.

  In the darkness, she suddenly felt a pair of warm hands grab her waist tightly as her body fell into an alien embrace. Immediately following that, she lost her sense of weight and experienced a centrifugal force. A howling wind blasted across her face as she opened her eyes in astonishment. She looked up to see a clown mask that looked somewhat funny.

  At that critical juncture, Shi Xiaobai had swept up Xiao Xiao, helping her to dodge that fatal strike!

  "Hurry up and use your Energy Pearl."

  Shi Xiaobai's reminder echoed in her ears before Xiao Xiao came round to. She immediately used her Energy Pearl, causing a pale red light to shroud her abdomen wound. The wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

  "Die!"

  With bloodshot eyes, WindWithoutTrace, who appeared as though he had been possessed by the devil, charged over in a crazy manner. He stabbed straight at Shi Xiaobai!

  Shi Xiaobai immediately jumped away with Xiao Xiao in his arms. Noticing how WindWithoutTrace did not have any intention to stop his pursuit, he hurriedly began using Crab Steps to retreat. Although he was carrying someone, his Crab Steps was still a little faster than WindWithoutTrace's Wind Walk. Gradually, he opened up a gap between him and WindWithoutTrace.

  Only then did Xiao Xiao heave a sigh of relief. As she relaxed, she suddenly felt a tension around her chest. When she lowered her head, her face immediately blushed.

  At this moment, Shi Xiaobai was carrying her like he was carrying a princess. One hand was beneath her legs, propping them up, while the other hand was underneath her armpit. Her chest was tightly adhered to his.
