Shi Xiaobai knew very well that as rookies, even if his "Turtle-speed Divine Punch" was very deceptive, Mu Yuesheng, Kevin, and Mozzie would not use their full strength to fight him three against one. It was more likely that they would conserve their strength to probe him.
However, Shi Xiaobai wished for them to give him more pressure. Even if this pressure could crush him, causing him to suffer an abject defeat, he wished for the pressure to be more intense.
Hence, Shi Xiaobai needed to prove one thing. That was — he was very strong!
He was so strong that the three of them had no choice but to cooperate and give their all.
Unfortunately, although Shi Xiaobai's Crab Steps had reached the "Dominating Refinement", allowing him to crush the trio with his movement techniques, his offensive means were worrisome. The Pig Slaughtering Knife pursued a one-hit kill, so it was not suitable for sparring. As for "Turtle-speed Divine Punch" and "Massage Technique of God", they were too slow. Clearly, they were not of much use, so Shi Xiaobai chose to create a false impression.
In fact, this matter was still very opportunistic. Shi Xiaobai's punch that was neither light nor heavy could be easily blocked by a psionic barrier. However, Mozzie failed to react in time after being deceived by the Crab Phantom Image. Kevin attempted to use "Black Bear Dominating Palm" to clash head-on, so he had neglected his defense. As for Mu Yuesheng, she was restricted to a contest of "judgment" and "speed", so she gave up resisting. As such, the three of them did not use a psionic barrier that protected their entire bodies.
If not, no matter what Shi Xiaobai did, he would not be able to shatter their Psionic Barrier. This made Shi Xiaobai recall the helplessness of choosing to quit the game against an opponent who was much weaker than him in virtual competition.
At the same time, it also sounded an alarm for Shi Xiaobai. It looked like he needed to practice a killer move well.
When the three rookies saw Shi Xiaobai's serious expression and heard Shi Xiaobai's serious words, they slowly turned serious as well. Even Mozzie's fighting spirit was ignited. The phrase "failure is only considered failure after using all your strength" resonated with her. At this moment, Lord Shi Xiaobai was like a strict teacher in her eyes.
In Kevin's eyes, Shi Xiaobai was still hateful, but he had no choice but to look up to him. The three punches made him feel like Shi Xiaobai was on a completely different level from them. He also gradually believed that Shi Xiaobai was God DogLeading because back then, God DogLeading had strolled leisurely in an extremely cool manner.
As for Mu Yuesheng, she always had a backup plan. Upon hearing Shi Xiaobai's words, she could not help but ask herself if she was willing to be defeated in such a manner.
No, of course not.
Her strength was far more than that. If Shi Xiaobai was that powerful, wouldn't it be great if she used all her strength and fought to her heart's content?
The look in the trio's eyes changed, and a true fighting spirit ignited within them. They tossed aside the burden of dignity from fighting three against one and prepared to use their full strength.
Shi Xiaobai finally revealed a smile. He liked the surging aura. He liked the oppressive feeling of a black cloud pressing down on a city.
"Come, This King can't wait any longer!"
Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath and began circulating "This Turtle Is Hardest" and "Unleaking Turtle Aura" in his body. If he could attack the periphery of the trio's attacks, he could not only cultivate his Crab Steps, but also hone his physique.
So let the storm be a little fiercer!
Ding Ling Ling …
Just then, a ringtone from a cell phone interrupted the heated battle that was on the verge of breaking out.
The four of them couldn't help but turn their heads to look.
Madam Ji gave an apologetic smile and picked up her cell phone to listen for a moment. Suddenly, her expression changed drastically as she uttered a few sounds before hanging up the phone.
Madam Ji sighed and looked at everyone and said, "The three-day collective training will be temporarily suspended. This battle … will be paused for a moment."
Shi Xiaobai was surprised. It was not easy for him to build up the mood for the battle, so why was it suddenly stopped?
Mu Yuesheng immediately asked with a frown, "What happened?"
Madam Ji's expression turned slightly heavy as she said in a deep voice, "[Zeus]'s rookie delegation will come to Steel City tomorrow, so this year's battle exchange will be brought forward."
With this said, Mozzie could not help but exclaim. Mu Yuesheng gaped slightly, while Kevin's face turned pale.
Madam Ji sighed and said, "I believe all of you know why [Zeus] chose this timing. I believe all of you also understand that [Gaia] has no choice but to accept this battle exchange, so let's call it a day … because tomorrow, all of you might have a fierce battle. Wait here for a moment. We will immediately convene a meeting to discuss tomorrow's matters. "
After Madam Ji said that, she turned around and left. Her footsteps were hurried and it looked like she was in a rush.
Mozzie and company had solemn gazes as they fell silent. The atmosphere immediately turned cold.
Shi Xiaobai was rendered speechless as he said helplessly, "Can someone tell This King what happened?"
…
…
[Gaia] was once a first-tier organization in China. At its peak, it was one of the two powerhouses of the Hero organizations, along with [Zeus]. The two organizations aimed to be the number one organization in the country. As such, [Gaia] and [Zeus] had many disputes back then, to the point of nearly coming to blows. Finally, due to external pressure, they could only reconcile.
But under the surface of peace, there were hidden conflicts. For example, the collective training between the two factions. The two powerhouses naturally needed an outlet to vent their conflicts, and the battle exchange was that outlet.
The battle exchange was an annual rookie battle exchange. In odd years, [Gaia] would lead a rookie delegation to [Zeus] for a public battle exchange, while in even years, it was the opposite.
The two organizations were of equal strength in the beginning, so such a battle exchange naturally had victories and defeats. Hence, it gradually became a tradition.
But later on, [Gaia] gradually declined, becoming a second-tier organization. This tradition that was forcefully carried on completely changed.
For the past ten consecutive years, [Gaia] had suffered a crushing defeat in every year's rookie battle exchange. They had no way of resisting [Zeus]. This was because [Zeus] was still one of the top first-tier organizations in the country. The amount of rookie resources they had left [Gaia] in the dust.
However, for [Gaia]'s former glory and remaining dignity, [Gaia] had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept the battle, even if it could shake the rookies' confidence.
[Zeus], who was often criticized for "holding grudges", clearly did not want to let go of the opportunity to trample [Gaia] beneath its feet. Every year, the rookie battle exchange would showcase the huge difference in strength between the two.
And this year, [Zeus] had taken the initiative to bring forward the battle exchange. Before the mass selection, they requested for a battle exchange.
The reason was that it was convenient, so they could have a warm-up battle before the selection.
However, their intentions were clear. To [Zeus]'s rookie delegation, this battle exchange was indeed a warm-up, but for [Gaia]?
How much confidence could [Gaia]'s rookie representatives, who had to experience an abject defeat before they set off?
This was [Zeus]'s goal. Their reputation for "holding grudges" was well-deserved, and it might even exceed that!
