The blond youth slashed out with his sword, and like a mirror image, Speechless did the exact same action as the blond youth.
The identical sword beams clashed once again, but the outcome was still a draw.
"Three Thousand Swords of Weak Water."
Speechless announced the name of the strike.
The golden-haired youth immediately slashed out again. No one could see the so-called non-existent sword, but they could clearly see the Sword Qi of this sword. In particular, the Sword Qi of this sword contained lightning in the midst of wind and fire. It looked extremely cool.
"Wind Fire Thunder Divine Sword."
Speechless did the same action once again. Be it the speed or size of the wind, fire, thunder and lightning sword beams, they were identical to the blond youth's. It was like a mirror image.
This strike was of course a draw again.
The audience was astounded. They felt that the Celestial King was too amazing. He was able to immediately respond with the same move the moment his opponent attacked. This was not something that could be explained by 'instant learning'. It was like a one-second replication. It was absolutely astounding.
Shi Xiaobai, who had previously exchanged a few blows with Speechless, knew that it was Speechless' superpower. However, he could not help but sigh at how unfathomable this superpower was. To anyone, meeting an opponent that could instantly replicate their moves would be a headache. They would be helpless because it was equivalent to fighting themselves.
Shi Xiaobai was very curious as to how the blond youth, who was a replica of the Hero King, would respond.
The blond youth's response exceeded Shi Xiaobai's expectations.
He didn't stop slashing his sword, and every slash used a different sword technique. Even though every slash encountered the same obstruction and achieved the same result, he still didn't show the slightest bit of impatience. He just persistently used all kinds of sword techniques.
It was as though he was demonstrating his sword moves.
It was also as though he was testing if Speechless could respond to every strike.
The conclusion was obvious. Speechless had perfectly replicated the blond youth's sword moves.
A rather boring, mirror-like battle seemed to have turned into a round of sword techniques being demonstrated one after another.
It had to be said that these sword moves were very powerful. One could clearly sense the surging sword intent in the sword moves from afar. The audience was very alarmed, but they were also somewhat disappointed. After all, such a battle was definitely not considered exciting.
Above the basin, Feng Yuanlin said with a sheepish smile, "This battle seems a little strange?"
Pulp Farmer said with a frown, "For some baffling reason, it's a little boring."
Liu Yu said with a sigh, "Speechless is filled with anticipation towards the Hero King from his youth, even if it's a fake Hero King. He originally believed that it would be an exciting and intense battle, but he never expected Speechless to use Mirror Imitation without any changes. He never expected the Hero King to change his moves in such a cooperative manner. Why is that? "
Mu Yuesheng stared at Speechless from afar and muttered to herself, "Speechless is acting out of spite. He just wants to prove that his imitation is perfect … "
.....
The battle lasted for ten minutes.
The blond youth constantly changed his sword moves. The number of sword moves he knew was astounding. Furthermore, according to Speechless, these sword moves were apparently created by the Hero King when he was young. It was fascinating.
As for Speechless, he continued to use Mirror Imitation without any changes. He allowed the scales of victory to remain in a perfect balance.
No one could do anything to the other. This was the boring conclusion of this battle that lasted for ten minutes.
"Devil Slayer Holy Sword."
Speechless reported the blond youth's sword moves once again, but this time, he finally seemed impatient.
A mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "This is how you deal with it? If you believe that by trying all the sword techniques you know, you might be able to produce a sword move that I can't imitate by chance, then your naivety will disappoint me. "
When Speechless said that, he could not help but glance at the distant Shi Xiaobai.
Speechless had encountered many opponents. There were many geniuses that wanted to snatch the title of 'China's number one youth', but against his' Mirror Imitation ', most young geniuses would eventually have a mental breakdown.
The moves they knew would be perfectly imitated by their opponent. No matter what move they used, it would be useless. A number of people would blame everything on their opponent. They would use the mockery of 'only imitating' to hide their failure to defeat themselves. There were also a number of people who would not be discouraged. They firmly believed that their opponent could not imitate all their moves. There would always be a move that their opponent could not imitate.
As for Shi Xiaobai, he was a rare youth that did not belong to either category.
Speechless still remembered the battle with Shi Xiaobai in the Silent Desolate Lands. After realizing that his moves could be imitated, Shi Xiaobai did not attempt to use different moves to challenge his Imitation superpower. Neither did he treat it negatively or use mockery to hide the embarrassment of not being able to defeat his Mirror Imitation.
Shi Xiaobai chose to surpass himself and use the same move to surpass his own Mirror Imitation.
Since he had been imitated, he would surpass the imitated him. That was Shi Xiaobai's choice back then.
From that moment forth, Speechless treated Shi Xiaobai as a special opponent, an opponent that he looked forward to.
And at that moment, the fake Hero King had made a choice that disappointed Speechless. The fake Hero King was constantly using different moves in an attempt to challenge his Imitation ability and not the person being imitated.
It sounded like two different choices, but in fact, they were very different.
The former was to doubt his opponent, while the latter was to believe in himself.
Speechless agreed with the latter.
"Indeed, a fake is a fake?"
A look of disappointment flashed in Speechless' eyes. Being able to see the Hero King, even if it was an imitation, still made his blood boil. He was filled with anticipation for the battle.
He had used Mirror Imitation to balance the battle, but he wanted to see what method the Hero King would use to crack his Mirror Imitation.
This was because his Mirror Imitation had never been cracked by an opponent of the same age or at the same level as him, other than being cracked by absolute strength.
Speechless wanted to prove that his imitation was perfect, but he also wished that the fake Hero King could give him some pressure.
However, if the fake Hero King continued attempting to challenge his' Mirror Imitation ', then the battle would end in a boring ending.
That was because his Mirror Imitation had no loopholes.
"Loophole, found it."
Suddenly, the blond youth said those words in a deadpan manner. His voice was soft like a gentle breeze.
When it landed in Speechless' ears, it stirred up a hurricane in his mind.
Speechless' pupils widened slightly as he said in disbelief, "Impossible! My imitation is perfect! "
The blond youth's eyes were calm as he said, "Your so-called perfection is relative."
"Relative?"
Speechless frowned slightly.
The blond youth continued, "Whether the jade in your eyes is a perfect imitation of another piece of jade depends on whether you can discover the flaws in the jade. Your eyes can only see perfection and not flaws. Therefore, to you, your imitation is perfect. "
"Relative to the eyes?"
A smile suffused across Speechless' lips as he said, "So you are saying that you can see flaws that I can't see?"
The blond youth nodded in a deadpan manner. He looked somewhat adorable, but the lack of warmth in his eyes made him appear especially aloof.
"Your imitation has flaws that were discovered by my eyes."
The blond youth said.
The blond youth was similar to Sunless. He nearly did not reveal any expression. His eyes were dull and calm, making him seem like an aloof existence. However, he was different from Sunless. The blond youth was good with words and did not reject conversing with others. He would even take the initiative to say things that did not need to be said.
And because of that, the battle had strangely come to a halt. It had turned into a verbal battle.
However, while the blond youth was conversing, his cold expression and eyes seemed to be frozen in another world. Instead of calling it a conversation, it was better to say that he was talking to himself.
Who was the person he was talking to, what sort of existence he was, and what sort of answer he would give.
It did not matter to the blond youth.
He was speaking because he had something to say.
"One in ten thousand. Your imitation has a one in ten thousand flaw."
The blond youth did not wait for Speechless to respond. He did not even look at Speechless. He only continued saying what he wanted to say. "A one in ten thousand flaw is obviously relative. My eyes can only see one in ten thousand flaws. Therefore, to me, your perfection has a one in ten thousand flaw. But in fact, it might be one percent, ten percent, or even more. It's just that I have yet to discover it. Do you understand? You think you are perfect, but you can't even see a one in ten thousand flaw. "
Speechless gaped slightly before saying with a chuckle, "Are you discussing philosophical theories with me? Indeed, perfection is relative. If you can see a one in ten thousand flaw, then my so-called perfection is relatively imperfect to you. But so what? How can you prove the one in ten thousand flaw you discovered? Even if it's as you said, and my mirror imitation has a one in ten thousand flaw, what kind of change can a mere one in ten thousand bring about? When the flaw is so tiny that it can be ignored, that is also perfection. "
"Naive."
The blond youth said emotionlessly once again in a mocking tone. He said in a deadpan manner, "If I were to constantly magnify that one in ten thousand flaw, would you still be able to ignore it?"
Speechless' pupils constricted slightly. "What do you mean!?"
The blond youth did not answer. He suddenly raised his hand and slashed out!
When Speechless saw the blond youth raise his hand, his mirror imitation instinctively reacted.
Speechless did the same action and slashed out the same sword!
"Three Thousand Li Sword!?"
After Speechless slashed out his sword beam, he said loudly, "Are you making another foolish attempt? It's just a waste of effort. My imitation is perfect. The outcome is destined from the beginning. Do not attempt to challenge my mirror imitation, or else … "
Speechless' voice suddenly came to a halt!
His pupils suddenly dilated at the moment when the sword qi collided, and a look of disbelief instantly occupied his pair of quick-witted eyes!
Shi Xiaobai, who had been paying attention to every detail from afar, also gaped slightly.
"The balance has been disrupted."
Shi Xiaobai muttered to himself.
Yes, the balance had been disrupted.
In fact, it was only an extremely minute breach. The two sword beams that were supposed to collide midway and cancel each other out simultaneously had an unexpected turn of events. The blond youth's sword beam had advanced a few centimeters further than Speechless's sword beam!
A few centimeters was a negligible number in a scale that spanned more than ten thousand meters. However, those few centimeters had verified the blond youth's words. Speechless' mirror imitation was not perfect. It had flaws that were difficult to discover, so it was mistaken as non-existent!
"But, so what? A mere few centimeters is unable to shake my perfection! "
Speechless' lips trembled slightly.
The blond youth remained expressionless as he slashed out once again in silence!
This strike was still the most ordinary Three Thousand Li Sword to the blond youth.
Speechless clenched his teeth slightly as a look of stubbornness flashed in his eyes. With a loud roar, he used Mirror Imitation!
"Boom!"
The identical sword beams followed the same trajectory and met in the air. They should have disappeared simultaneously, but this time, the blond youth's sword beam lingered for a nearly negligible moment!
Then, in that short instant, it advanced … more than ten centimeters!
"The gap has been magnified …"
Shi Xiaobai looked in disbelief at the blond youth.
However, the blond youth had already raised his hand to slash out again!
Speechless, whose eyes were slightly glazed, instinctively responded.
The blond youth did not stop. After slashing out, he immediately slashed out again!
Speechless finally extinguished the confusion in his eyes at that instant. His eyes burned with fighting spirit once again as he did the exact same action as the blond youth.
"Let me see, let me see!!"
Speechless' eyes were stubborn and firm. "The flaw in your eyes!"
"Boom! Boom! Boom! "
The blond youth constantly brandished his sword. It became faster and more urgent!
The sword beams collided like the arrival of a storm. There was no pause, and it left the audience shuddering in fear!
And the gap between the sword beams was also gradually widening!
More than ten centimeters!
Dozens of centimeters!
One meter!
Ten meters!
Thirty meters!
A hundred meters!
Five hundred meters!
The blond youth's sword aura had completely broken the balance. Even the weak audience could see the difference between the two seemingly identical sword auras.
Loopholes.
They were magnified.
Magnified, magnified, and constantly magnified!
"Peng!"
When the final sword beam shattered Speechless's sword beam and traversed a distance of more than ten thousand meters, it struck the black-and-white sword. The blond youth finally stopped his storm-like bombardment.
At that moment, there was complete silence.
Shi Xiaobai could not help but clench his fists. His eyes were filled with shock.
He had once fought Speechless, so he knew how terrifying Mirror Imitation was. He did not go to a dead end to doubt if Mirror Imitation was truly perfect. Instead, he chose to believe that he could break through himself and defeat his imitated self.
This might be a form of confidence.
But in fact, the prerequisite for him to do so was to give up his doubts.
He had given up his doubts about the so-called perfection.
As for the blond youth, he was the exact opposite. He chose to attempt and doubt. Soon, he discovered a loophole under the perfect surface.
Although it was a loophole in a ten-thousandth of a percent.
But if a seemingly perfect piece of cloth had a loophole, then as long as the loophole was constantly magnified, the entire piece of cloth would be torn apart sooner or later.
The blond youth had used his keen observation skills to discover a loophole in a ten-thousandth of a percent. Then, he constantly tried to break through the one-thousandth of a percent that had not been imitated. By magnifying the loophole, he successfully tore apart Speechless' perfection.
He had cracked the seemingly unsolvable Mirror Imitation!
"Can This King do it?"
Shi Xiaobai suddenly found it difficult to breathe.
If he had chosen the blond youth's cracking method, would he be able to achieve the same cracking method as the blond youth?
"I've lost."
A wry smile suffused across Speechless' lips. His Mirror Imitation had been cracked. There was no excuse to deny such a cracking method.
In this battle to prove that he was the perfect imitation, he had already lost.
That was because his so-called perfect imitation had a loophole that he believed did not exist.
The blond youth said in a deadpan manner, "Imitation is just imitation after all."
When the emotionless voice entered his ears, Speechless' slightly lowered eyes suddenly glazed over.
.....
.....
"I don't want to be anyone, even if that person is the Hero King. Because, I want to be Speechless!"
The black-haired boy said with a firm gaze.
The girl sitting beside the black-haired boy gently blinked her beautiful brown eyes. Her hands held her cheeks that had some baby fat. She said in a childish voice, "Brother Speechless is Brother Speechless. Why do you want to be Brother Speechless?"
The black-haired boy scratched his head, as though he was unsure of how to explain. His eyes darted around as he said seriously to the girl, "Because everyone wishes for me to become the Hero King. Daddy, Mommy, Grandpa, Grandma, all of them wish so. Furthermore … I'm too good at imitation. I believe that imitation might be my destiny."
The rather mature words were somewhat incomprehensible to the girl. She shook her brown head, indicating that she did not understand what he meant.
Following that, she pouted slightly and said innocently, "Brother Speechless is good at imitation. Then … then wouldn't imitation do?"
"Of course not!"
The boy shook his head firmly. "I've already said that I don't want to be anyone. I want to be Speechless. How can I keep imitating? Even if imitation is my destiny, as long as I don't give in and resist with all my might, fate can be defeated!"
The girl looked at the boy as her innocent brown eyes suddenly had a different glint.
She muttered to herself, "Fate can also be defeated". Then, she cocked her head and smiled innocently. She said, "So Brother Speechless doesn't like imitation."
The boy nodded and reached out his hand to rub the girl's head. He said, "Imitation is just imitation after all. Even if it's identical, so what? Furthermore, if it's really identical, then wouldn't the real Speechless … disappear? "
.....
.....
Speechless' dull eyes gradually regained their luster. Memories that he had nearly forgotten surfaced once again. An unfamiliar palpitation made his heart suddenly race.
"Imitation is just imitation after all."
A smile suffused across Speechless' lips. He looked up at the blond youth and said, "I've lost. Even if you're an imitation, you are still that man's imitation. That man is indeed impressive."
Although his mirror imitation had been cracked, it did not mean that Speechless was bound to fail. That was because he still had many means that he had yet to use. The absolute balance had been broken, and the true battle had only just begun.
However, Speechless had to admit that he had lost. In the battle to prove who was the perfect imitation, he had been utterly defeated. That was because the perfect illusion of his imitation had been exposed.
However, the blond youth did not seem to agree with such an outcome. He said in a deadpan manner, "You haven't lost."
Speechless said with a smile, "From your point of view, I haven't lost because you have only cracked my mirror imitation. My true strength has yet to be revealed. However, victory and defeat are relative. To me, the meaning of this battle is to prove that I am the most perfect imitation, and this point has been completely crushed by you. You have proved that there is a flaw in my perfection. In my opinion, you have already won, and I accept my defeat wholeheartedly. "
"You have misunderstood what I mean."
The blond youth's calm eyes seemed to flash a cold beam. He said, "You haven't lost because … you haven't died."
The moment that was said, there was an uproar!
Speechless' pupils constricted slightly as he gradually wiped away his smile.
According to the rules of the life-and-death battle between the three kings, the dead was the loser, and the loser had to be dead. Speechless, who was still alive, was indeed far from being defeated.
However, this sudden battle did not have the rules of the life-and-death battle between the three kings.
Speechless said calmly, "It looks like you want to kill me?"
The blond youth said with a nod, "That is my goal for coming here. Not only you, I will kill all three kings. You can join forces. No, I advise you, it's best you join forces now. "
When Speechless heard that, he immediately recalled the story of the Hero King. The Hero King had fought the three kings alone and finally killed all three kings.
"What an unpleasant setting."
Speechless lampooned in his heart. He looked at the blond youth and said, "We will not join forces. It's also impossible for you to kill me. Although there are flaws in my imitation, you can't kill me."
Speechless's eyes were filled with confidence. He had imitated the Hero King from a young age and had been desperately chasing after the Hero King's footsteps. Therefore, he knew very well that although he had not caught up to the Hero King of the same age, he was not far from it.
If the blond youth was an imitation of the Hero King, then his strength was insufficient to crush him.
"I can't kill you?"
The blond youth muttered to himself as he suddenly took up a stance of holding a sword with both hands.
Dots of light that looked like purple crystals suddenly floated up from the ground and gathered in the blond youth's hands!
A layer of bright purple light emanated in the air and suddenly formed the shape of a sword!
"That's … the outline of a sword?"
The purple light formed the outline of a sword and the sword hilt was held in the blond youth's hands!
"That's the outline of a nonexistent sword."
The nonexistent sword's outline was drawn out by the purple light. It did not look much different from an ordinary sword.
A faint smile suffused across Speechless' lips. "The power of Sword Truth? It looks like you have discovered it as well. "
Without a doubt, the purple dots of light that suddenly floated up from the ground and the purple light that drew out the outline of the nonexistent sword was the power of Sword Truth that the blond youth possessed!
In fact, Shi Xiaobai had previously discovered this fact. Speechless' Mirror Imitation could only imitate moves!
As for the power of Sword Truth, it belonged to the strength system and not the move system.
Speechless was unable to imitate the power of Sword Truth!
The blond youth had discovered this point through his keen observation skills.
"If you think you can defeat me by using the power of Sword Truth, then aren't you too naive!"
Speechless sneered as he suddenly held the black and white sword with both hands!
Purple dots of light floated up from the ground and attached themselves to the black and white sword, forming a purple sword's outline.
This scene was nearly identical to the scene of the blond youth using Sword Truth!
"Sorry, the person I've been imitating has always been the man you imitated. Although the power of Sword Truth cannot be imitated using Mirror Imitation, I, who is attempting to imitate that man, do not only rely on the power of Mirror Imitation!"
Speechless said loudly, "That man's Sword Truth is my Sword Truth!"
Mirror Imitation's superpower allowed Speechless to do many imitations that were opportunistic, but there were many imitations that required hard work to master bit by bit. And from birth to present, he had never stopped imitating the Hero King. It was unknown how much sweat and tears he had shed to obtain his present strength.
He had used his life and youth to imitate that man.
It was only natural that he possessed that man's Sword Truth!
"Then, what about the Sword Soul?"
Suddenly, a calm voice resounded.
Speechless felt like he had been struck by lightning as he looked up in disbelief. "No …"
He could not finish the word 'no'.
This was because at the instant he looked up, a gigantic soul had appeared behind the blond youth.
The soul was about ten meters tall and it was so blurry that it was impossible to discern its true appearance. However, one could tell that it was wearing armor and it held a gigantic sword in both hands. Its posture was identical to the blond youth's.
The sudden appearance of the gigantic soul behind the blond youth gave many people a fright.
As for Sunless, who knew what the soul meant, she revealed a rare look of shock at that moment.
Speechless' eyes nearly glazed over as he muttered to himself, "The power of the Sword Soul. In the family records, that man clearly did not grasp the power of the Sword Soul at this age. Why do you possess such power? Is that man hiding something from the family? Or could it be that you are set to be stronger than that man? "
In sword techniques, there were four levels to sword moves.
The lowest level was Sword Intent. This was a power that a slightly talented swordsman could grasp sooner or later.
The second level was Sword Truth. This was the power awakened when a genius swordsman had accumulated many years of comprehension and comprehended his own path of swordsmanship. Generally speaking, mastering the power of Sword Truth was already top-notch in the swordsmanship field.
As for the third level, it was Sword Soul. It was a mysterious power. Few swordsmen could understand and use the power of Sword Soul. The power of Sword Soul not only needed extraordinary insight, it also needed critical opportunities. Even among the top ten Sword Masters in the world, there were people who failed to gain insight into the power of Sword Soul.
The fourth level was Sword Domain, which was even more mysterious. Even in history, very few humans had managed to gain insight into Sword Domain. The most famous Sword Domain belonged to Sword Immortal Li Taibai at his peak.
Speechless, Sunless, and even Shi Xiaobai could be said to be geniuses among geniuses. For them to gain insight into the power of Sword Truth at such a young age was enough to shake China. However, no one dared to confirm if the three of them could gain insight into the power of Sword Soul before the age of thirty, forty, or even fifty.
As for the Hero King, or rather, the fake Hero King in front of them, he had demonstrated the power of Sword Soul at that moment!
Even though his Sword Soul was only ten meters tall, and even though the Sword Soul was so blurry that it was impossible to discern its appearance, it was still a Sword Soul!
It was a power that far exceeded the level of Sword Truth!
The power of Sword Soul was a power that could crush Speechless!
"So you had the power to crush me from the very beginning."
Speechless said with a wry smile, "You clearly could have used absolute power to crack my Mirror Image Imitation, but you chose the most difficult method to completely defeat me. What an annoying pride."
"You are an opponent worthy of respect."
The blond youth said in a deadpan manner, "If I don't use the power of Sword Soul, I won't be able to kill you. But, sorry, I have to kill you. So, take this. I will use all my strength in this strike to give you a most dignified death! "
As the blond youth said this, his cold eyes seemed to have an additional hint of emotion. He raised his hands high, and the gigantic soul did the exact same action as him!
"Slash!"
This strike did not seem to have a name. It looked like the most ordinary slash, but the power that the strike emitted made people feel fear from the depths of their souls!
Shi Xiaobai, who was far away, could clearly sense the terrifying power contained in the strike. He placed himself in Speechless' shoes.
He was considering how he would face the strike if he were to face it.
Face it head-on?
The outcome would only be complete defeat. He would be pulverized by the power of the strike!
Dodge as soon as possible?
No, it was too late. There was no way to dodge the strike. Even if his Crab Steps rose another level, he would not be able to dodge the strike!
What could he do?
What could Speechless do?
If he was hit by the strike, he would die.
It was very likely that he would die.
However, he could not face it head-on, nor could he escape in time. What else could he do?
What … should he do?
"Quickly use the exit command!"
Shi Xiaobai roared at Speechless, who appeared to be in a daze!
.....
.....
"Why isn't your hair blonde? Why don't you dye it? The Hero King's hair is blonde. "
The young woman stroked the boy's black hair in her arms. Her eyes were deep in thought, as though she was considering her suggestion.
However, the boy suddenly looked up and said, "No, absolutely not!"
The young woman frowned slightly and said, "Why not? Blonde hair is so beautiful. It's as dazzling as sunlight. It's said that the Hero King's hair has charmed countless girls. If Little Yu were to dye blonde hair, he would definitely look much better than he is now. "
The boy curled his lips and said, "I'm already good-looking enough. I don't need to be better-looking."
The boy's facial features looked exquisite and perfect. At a young age, he was already revealing his handsomeness. When he grew up, he would definitely be a handsome man that charmed thousands of girls. Therefore, he was not lying to himself when he said those words.
The young woman covered her mouth and laughed. She reached out her hand to pinch the boy's cheek and said with a smile, "He's quite good-looking. As expected of Sis's child. However, if you dye it blonde, you will definitely look better."
The boy said loudly, "Black looks better than gold!"
The young woman shook her head and said, "Gold looks better. The Hero King's hair is blonde."
The boy pouted and said, "Hmph, you worship the Hero King so much, so of course you think his hair color looks better."
A joyful smile suffused across the young woman's lips as she said, "What you said seems reasonable, but I just think gold looks better. Who asked the Hero King's hair to be blonde?"
The boy struggled out of the woman's embrace and jumped to the ground. Facing the young woman on the chair, he said seriously, "There will be a day when you will like black even more!"
The young woman pricked up her eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, "That's impossible. Unless the Hero King revives and dyes his hair black, my favorite color will forever be gold!"
The boy clenched his tiny fists and raised his head to say loudly, "No, there will be a day when I will surpass the Hero King and become a greater man than him! When the time comes, the person Little Aunt idolizes the most will definitely be me! When the time comes, you will definitely like black even more! "
The young woman widened her eyes slightly as the corners of her mouth curled up slowly, revealing a beautiful smile. She said softly, "Then, let's make a deal. On the day you surpass the Hero King, I will like black even more."
As the young woman said that, she stretched out her fair and slender pinky.
The boy nodded heavily.
"Yea, there will be a day when I will surpass the Hero King!"
.....
.....
"Hurry up and use the exit command!"
Shi Xiaobai's roar came from afar as Speechless was jolted awake.
The sword beam that pierced through the world was already unavoidable. Facing it head-on would only result in him being destroyed in a landslide, but if he did not do anything, he would die. He would be killed by the strike.
Speechless felt lost for the first time until Shi Xiaobai's roar pulled him back to reality.
Yes, use the exit command.
There was still such a method.
As long as he used the exit command, he could instantly escape the trial and escape from the strike, successfully surviving.
To use the exit command, all he needed to do was gently say four words. It was that simple.
But …
"Heh, only now do I realize that I was much cuter when I was younger than I am now."
Speechless' eyes turned slightly gloomy.
"Believing that you are not escaping and that you are facing reality head-on is actually the greatest form of escape. When you were younger, you could at least say things like 'imitation is ultimately imitation' or 'I want to surpass the Hero King'. But now? You can't say anything. It's like your throat is choked. You can't say anything. "
"Where's all those big words that you think you're infallible? Where's the arrogant you who said those big words that you think you're infallible? "
"Ha, I was subdued by that man's life and lost the confidence to surpass him. I told myself that being able to imitate that man's life is a fate that I can be content with. In the end, it's just consoling myself who has no way of succeeding. It's only helping myself who is destined to fail, isn't that so?"
"Do you still want to continue escaping?"
"Are you willing to continue escaping?"
Speechless slowly looked up as his dim eyes suddenly emitted a blinding luster!
"Little Aunt, black looks better."
A smile suffused across Speechless' lips as he held his sword with both hands. He slowly raised it and slashed at the world that was enveloped by the white light!
"I will no longer escape!"
.....
White light filled the world. The blond youth's strike was dazzling and blinding. Even the light of the sun was devoured.
The last thing Shi Xiaobai saw was Speechless' figure raising his sword.
Then, everything was devoured by the white and the power.
He could not see anything.
But he could already see the outcome.
"No!"
Shi Xiaobai roared angrily as he frantically ran in Speechless' direction.
Speechless did not use the exit command and instead chose to face it head-on. Despite knowing that he could not defeat the strike, he still chose to face it head-on!
He had made a wrong choice.
He had made a wrong choice that cost his life.
Shi Xiaobai knew that if he were in his shoes, he would have made the same choice.
But was such a choice worth it?
"Peng!"
As Shi Xiaobai was running, an object that was flying backwards suddenly slammed into him!
There was only a pale white in front of him.
Death seemed to be right in front of him.
Shi Xiaobai hugged the 'object' that had slammed into him tightly, allowing his body to similarly fly backwards to offset the ferocious impact.
He could not see anything.
But what his fingers touched was a viscous, boiling liquid.
Shi Xiaobai knew what it was.
He tried his best to widen his eyes, hoping to see the 'object' in his arms clearly in the white world.
The white light was so blinding that it suffused his eyes red.
Shi Xiaobai's body that was flying backwards finally came to a stop. As for the white light, it gradually dissipated.
Everything in front of him finally appeared.
The first thing he saw was a bright smear of black.
It was … hair.
"You are still alive. You must still be alive."
Shi Xiaobai muttered softly.
The sticky liquid that his fingers touched seemed to refute such a fact.
He could only try his best to widen his eyes to see the reality that was about to appear from the whiteness.
Then, he saw a bright red.
It was … blood.
And amidst the bright red, there was a ring of deep black.
The black was like a bottomless hole that devoured all light.
Shi Xiaobai's pupils slowly widened.
A sigh was stuck in his throat, but it was finally released at that moment. The sound sounded like someone was crying.
Shi Xiaobai finally saw the 'object' in his arms clearly.
He could also clearly see the bright red color and the deep black hole.
The 'object' was Speechless.
The 'red' was Speechless' blood.
The 'black hole' was the wound on Speechless' body.
The wound appeared on Speechless' left chest. It had pierced through Speechless' left chest. The wound was deep, black and empty.
The heart that should have been beating in his left chest …
It was gone.

(PS: After being in a daze for a few days, I finally firmed my conviction. No matter how bad the results are, I will absolutely not leave it unfinished. I want to make this story complete and perfect! Here, I apologize for my foolish decision to stop updating. I will try my best to make it up to everyone. By the way, in the future, the word count for each chapter will not be fixed. It might be two thousand words, three thousand words, five thousand words or even ten thousand words. I do not want the word count to limit my thoughts!)
