Shi Xiaobai was not surprised that the youth knew his identity. After all, he was now considered a famous figure among the rookies. It was likely that all sorts of rumors regarding him had spread throughout the land of trials. Many of his unique traits were easy to identify.
In fact, Shi Xiaobai had also roughly guessed the youth's identity. Although they had only exchanged a few blows, the trouble and pressure the youth gave him exceeded any rookie he had ever encountered. It exceeded even Sen Senyuan and Pulp Farmer.
Among the rookies participating in the trials, only Speechless and Mu Lengxi, who were ranked first and second in the official rookie forecast, had such strength. Shi Xiaobai had never seen the two of them before.
However, Mu Lengxi's official predicted ranking indicated that she was a woman. In that case, the mysterious and powerful youth that had come to the seventh level was most likely Speechless, whom Shi Xiaobai had often heard others mention, but did not know much about.
Rumor had it that he was a person who left people speechless.
To buy a piece of rock cake for a million, to the point of using force to force the purchase was indeed something that left people speechless. Furthermore, the power he possessed left people feeling helpless.
Speechless had initially sought Shi Xiaobai to buy the rock cake, but Shi Xiaobai had rejected him several times. He had even told him that it was just a rock. In fact, Shi Xiaobai could have thrown the rock in his hand or in his pocket at the youth to test its authenticity. Then, everything would have seemed simple.
But that was not the case. Things were not that simple.
Putting yourself in his shoes, if you saw a person eating a cake that looked like a rock with relish, but when the person gave it to you, you bit into a rock. What would your first reaction be?
Would you really think that the person was really eating a rock?
No, you would only think that the person was playing with you! Through some undetectable means, the person had used a rock to replace the cake in his hand or pocket.
At that moment, Shi Xiaobai needed a new explanation and a tedious method to prove himself.
Therefore, an explanation would only lead to new misunderstandings. Misunderstandings needed a new explanation. To prove that he was really eating a rock was a very troublesome matter to begin with.
Against a stranger, Shi Xiaobai naturally could not be bothered to explain. He could not be bothered to prove that he was really eating a rock.
But from the looks of it, any explanation would be futile. It would only lead to another script for the youth.
Shi Xiaobai said with a scoff, "Speechless, since you wanted to fight This King from the beginning, why go through so much trouble?"
Seeing that his identity and goal had been guessed, Speechless did not quibble. He said with a chuckle, "There's no other way. There's no one willing to fight This Emperor in this land of trials. Pulp Farmer, Liu Yu and company will run the moment they see This Emperor. It wasn't easy for This Emperor to encounter a passable opponent, so how can This Emperor let him go? So, it's best if you want to fight, but you have to fight even if you don't!"
With Speechless being able to 'replicate' the moves of others, it was true that no one was willing to fight him.
However, Shi Xiaobai was different.
He wasn't worried that his moves would be stolen or even easily copied.
This was because moves were dead, while people were alive. No matter how powerful a move was, if the person using it was different, there would definitely be a difference.
Furthermore, there was a sentence that Shi Xiaobai always remembered — every superpower had a weakness and limitation!
Shi Xiaobai condensed a psionic sword in his left hand as his eyes burned with fighting spirit. Since you insist on fighting, This King will accompany you to the end and shatter the power you are so proud of!
"Double-wielding? Quite interesting. "
A faint smile suffused across Speechless' lips as the spear in his right hand transformed into a black sword. Similarly, a psionic sword was condensed in his left hand.
People said that a person who could learn a particular move at a glance was a rare genius.
And he, Speechless, had been bestowed with the most outstanding talent by the heavens!
He could replicate his opponent's move and weapon with a glance, and with his own understanding, he could raise it to an even stronger realm!
Speechless said with a sneer, "Shi Xiaobai, if you think that This Emperor's strength only comes from replication and imitation, then you are gravely mistaken."
Shi Xiaobai naturally did not think so. That was because the Overlord Spear that Speechless used was clearly replicated from Pulp Farmer, but the power he produced was much stronger than Pulp Farmer's.
On top of the imitation, Speechless had added his own understanding.
"Unfortunately, This King is often imitated, but has never been surpassed!"
Shi Xiaobai responded with a sneer.
With that, the time to exchange vicious words came to an end. With a gust of wind, the two of them charged at each other at nearly the same time!
Golden beams of light lit up from their bodies as the power of Sword Truth was activated!
Shi Xiaobai looked at the golden light on Speechless' body as a sneer suffused across his lips.
This was not his Sword Truth!
Or it could be said that this was not Sword Truth at all!
"You can only replicate moves!"
Shi Xiaobai bellowed as he combined his swords and slashed at Speechless like a single sword!
Sword Truth was the sublimation of Sword Intent. It was the path that the sword pointed to. It was a swordsman's personal understanding of the sword!
Speechless could replicate sword moves, sword beams, and sword forms, but he could not replicate Sword Intent or Sword Truth!
The golden light was just a superficial imitation!
Therefore, Shi Xiaobai did not use any sword moves for this strike. He did not slash out a single sword beam!
This strike was a superposition of pure Sword Intent. It was also the essence of the sword condensed from Sword Truth!
"Boom!"
The four swords suddenly clashed together as energy surged in every direction. The surrounding air exploded as dust flew into the air. A deep crater was formed in the ground.
The two of them rebounded from the collision, but neither of them retreated. Instead, they took a step forward!
At that moment, it was a competition of strength. Whoever retreated first would suffer a tragic defeat.
The two of them were momentarily in a stalemate.
Shi Xiaobai said in a deep voice, "So that's how it is. Under the disguise of Sword Truth, it is still Sword Truth. Is this your own Sword Truth?"
For this strike, Speechless had also used a condensed and pure Sword Truth. However, the power of his Sword Truth was different from Shi Xiaobai's. The strike looked like an imitation, but it was only a superficial imitation of the move. The core of the strength belonged to Speechless himself.
Speechless said with a chuckle, "It's just Sword Truth. This Emperor had already comprehended it at the age of eight. People say that Sunless is the number one Sword Truth genius of this generation, but that's only because This Emperor basically doesn't use a sword."
Shi Xiaobai fell silent. This person was very good at posturing. However, Speechless did have the capital to do so.
At that moment, they were in a stalemate. Shi Xiaobai had no way of retreating, so he could only inject his strength once again. Whoever's strength could repress the other party first would obtain a huge advantage.
Speechless said with a laugh, "Shi Xiaobai, you are indeed not bad. Among the peers This Emperor has seen, you are considered one of the best. Unfortunately, you are still lacking compared to This Emperor!"
Shi Xiaobai said with a chuckle, "Defeat This King first before you brag!"
Speechless shook his head and could not help but laugh. His somewhat lazy eyes flashed with a serious look.
Shi Xiaobai grinned as his eyes burned with fighting spirit.
The two of them were in a stalemate, but clearly, they still had some tricks up their sleeves.
Who would attack first and when was a problem.
This was because the person who attacked first would end up in a more passive state.
They were waiting, waiting for the moment when the other party could not help but attack!
At that moment, a sudden gust of wind howled!
A hard rock tail was swinging over at an extremely fast speed!
Shi Xiaobai's pupils constricted slightly. The stone dragon had taken that opportunity to sneak an attack!
At that moment, no matter who it was, as long as they retracted their strength to defend against the dragon's tail, they would be injured by the other person's strength!
This stone dragon's timing was truly despicable to the extreme!
However, why?
Why did the first target that the stone dragon's tail swept across was Speechless?!
