"What footwork is that?"
Riko was puzzled.
At first glance, it looked like the "Crab Steps" that few people were interested in, but on careful thought, how could the "Crab Steps" that was known for being comical be so cool?
By the side, Yama Minamiya was similarly lost in thought. He could already tell that Shi Xiaobai's footwork was "Crab Steps". Furthermore, it was somewhat similar to Yaris's "Divine Crab". As such, he could not help but recall the recent news that had sunk into the sea due to its absurdity. He recalled the news of "IChooseDogLeading" who had cultivated Crab Steps to the Dominating Refinement realm at the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm.
As the news had stated that "IChooseDogLeading" was a participant sent by the battle arena bar's [Gaia] branch, he had specially sent people to investigate, but there was no one who could be found. The residents who had watched the competition had described it vividly, and there were even people who had imitated the phrase "everyone present is spicy chicken" in an ingenious manner. However, without evidence, there was no way to verify the matter.
Yama Minamiya was skeptical about it, but he ignored it. However, now that Shi Xiaobai was using Crab Steps, he could not help but recall the matter. They were all at the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, but due to the rookies being too weak, Shi Xiaobai did not seem to use his full strength, resulting in him not being able to tell the level of his "Crab Steps", but wasn't everything a little too consistent?
Furthermore, Shi Xiaobai had been missing for the past few days. Although the so-called missing was because Kali had chased away all the people around Shi Xiaobai, even the upper echelons of [Gaia] could not figure out Shi Xiaobai's whereabouts.
"Could it be that the news is true? Could Shi Xiaobai be 'IChooseDogLeading'? "
With this thought in mind, the way Yama Minamiya looked at Shi Xiaobai turned fiery. If that was the case …
"In the future, treat Xiaobai better. It's time to restrain your temper."
Yama Minamiya looked at Riko and said seriously. Although he could not hope for Riko to use a "honey trap" on Shi Xiaobai like the other members of the upper echelons, he still wished that Riko could become friends with Shi Xiaobai.
Riko was stunned as she pouted. She thought to herself, "I'm not good enough to him. Last night …"
Pui, last night's matter is not to be mentioned again!
…
…
Even with Riko and Yama Minamiya's eyesight, they were unable to discern Shi Xiaobai's depth immediately. The few rookies who could not even see Shi Xiaobai's actions were naturally confused, but they very cleverly chose to hurry. With Tu Dahei and Ye Jiaquan joining forces, it was not something a few rookies like them could withstand.
Seeing that no one came to pester him again, Shi Xiaobai immediately walked towards Ye Jiaquan and asked, "Steel Ox, did Lingcun say where he was going before he left?"
Ye Jiaquan was taken aback when he heard this. He scratched his head and said, "Me thinks … I don't think so."
Shi Xiaobai was immediately disappointed, but he immediately asked, "Think again. Did he say anything strange before he left?"
Ye Jiaquan immediately frowned and began thinking hard. Moments later, he said with a long face, "Me, Me doesn't remember."
Shi Xiaobai gaped, but he did not continue asking. Blaming or interrogating Ye Jiaquan was clearly useless. What he needed to do now was to think of other ways to know where Chen Lingcun was.
"Brother Dahei, Lingcun … did something happen?"
Ye Jiaquan realized that something was amiss as he hurriedly asked.
"It's fine. Even if there's something, This King can easily resolve it."
Shi Xiaobai did not mention the matter. It was useless to worry an additional silly Steel Ox. After pondering for a moment, his eyes lit up slightly. Maybe the other rookies would know some clues?
However, the rookies were currently in a free-for-all. Shi Xiaobai did not have the time to ask them one by one. Now, he needed everyone to hear his question at the same time and treat it seriously.
Shi Xiaobai surveyed his surroundings and realized that this time, no one had stopped because of his arrival. From the looks of it, everyone had stopped because he had been beaten up by Hua Pengju and company for several minutes without any problems.
Shi Xiaobai's eyes flickered. To make everyone's ears prick up for him, he first had to make everyone's hearts stop for a moment because of him.
"Steel Ox, do not let anyone approach This King for the next few minutes."
With an idea in mind, Shi Xiaobai said to Ye Jiaquan. Following that, he squatted down and bent his right knee. His fist was facing the ground, as though he was about to punch the ground.
Ye Jiaquan was slightly surprised as he immediately nodded his head vigorously. He looked fiercely at a few rookies who were ready to make a move.
Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath and clenched his fist tightly. Following that, he smashed his fist at the metallic ground at an extremely slow speed.
The rookies who were paying attention to Shi Xiaobai, as well as Yama Minamiya and Riko, who were by the side of the field, were stunned when they saw this scene.
This punch was not only extremely slow, it was even slower than a snail's crawl. Punching down from above, his fist moved less than a centimeter forward every second. Shi Xiaobai's entire arm was trembling, as though he had used all his strength. However, this extremely slow speed made it look weak and powerless.
What was he doing?
What Shi Xiaobai wanted to do now was to make all the rookies in the free-for-all stop and seriously listen to his question. Hence, he needed to shock everyone.
And it just so happened that the third move of the Filthy Turtle Divine Technique — Turtle-speed Divine Punch could achieve this.
As the name suggested, Turtle-speed Divine Punch's punching speed was as slow as a turtle's crawl. It was nearly impossible to hit a moving target, but this punch was worthy of being called a "Divine Punch". This was because its power was rather astounding, and what was even more amazing was that Turtle-speed Divine Punch's power did not have a fixed value. In a certain sense, Turtle-speed Divine Punch's power did not have an upper limit!
The slower the punch, the more powerful the punch!
The principle was like compressing a spring. The longer it was compressed, the deeper it was compressed, and when the spring was released, the explosive force would be even more terrifying!
Shi Xiaobai's arm was trembling because he was constantly compressing the surging Psionic Power during the slow process of punching.
The surging Psionic Power was condensed at his fist, forming an astounding force that could suddenly explode at any time. It was like a turbulent flow of water being blocked by a tightly shut valve. At the instant the valve was broken, the water's power would pour out.
The tip of Shi Xiaobai's fist was the valve, and his arm was the pipe through which the water flowed. And at this moment, as Shi Xiaobai's fist slowly moved downwards, the compressed Psionic Power was accumulating more and more, like water constantly accumulating in a water pipe. The water pipe could no longer withstand it!
Shi Xiaobai's arm was filled with the swelling and rejection of Psionic Power, as though his arm would explode at any moment. An intense pain spread from his arm to his entire body. Shi Xiaobai immediately used "Unleaking Turtle Aura" to suppress the pain!
And when the pain was produced, "This Turtle Is Hardest" began to take effect. Shi Xiaobai could intuitively feel the defense value of his right arm constantly rise. 1 … 3 … 4 … 4.5 …
At this moment, the Filthy Turtle Divine Technique revealed its divine might after it was combined!
