A Single Battle!
Many lightyears away, Avril had fallen asleep on her pink bed. Her body was curled up, and her pretty little face looked a little pale.
The door to the room opened quietly, and an old man in his sixties tiptoed in. He was wearing a well-ironed suit and a pair of white gloves. From the way he was dressed, he should be Avril's butler.
The pink carpet was a mess, and the remains of plush toys were strewn all over the place.
The screen was still on, and it was showing the live broadcast of the match between Xia Fei and Chen Dongs. This record-setting match was still ongoing. Xia Fei and Chen Dongs were already panting, and their movements were clearly slower than they had been a few days ago.
The butler waved his hand toward the door, and several pretty maidservants tiptoed into Avril's room.
These maidservants had evidently gone through very good training, and they worked very well with one another. Some of them were busy cleaning up the remains of the toys on the floor, while others were wiping every corner of the room with clean white cloths. Everyone was quietly and orderly, and no one made a sound.
Soon, the messy room was as clean as new, and all the items were returned to their original positions. Following that, these maidservants came in with brand new plush toys, neatly placing them on the bed, the carpet, and the cabinet. They even dressed them in pink clothes.
It was foreseeable that no matter how exquisitely dressed these plush toys were, they would all be as broken as the toys that had just been cleaned up by the time Avril woke up.
The maidservants did what they were supposed to do and quietly left the room, leaving the old butler standing in front of the screen, stroking his beard.
His eyes were glued to the match between Xia Fei and Chen Dongs on the screen. Xia Fei had done an unimaginable dodge to escape from Chen Dongs ice drill, and the old butler was stunned.
"This duel sure is interesting. Xia Fei, do you want to challenge me? Do I need to investigate him? the old butler muttered to himself.
Glancing at Avril, who was sleeping like a kitten, the old butler's murky eyes revealed a loving gaze.
He walked over and covered Avril with a pink blanket. "Miss is going to be a big girl," the old butler said with a smile.
All of a sudden, the still sleeping Avrils body flipped over, and with a charmingly naive look on her face, she clenched her fists and waved them in the air. Xia Fei, hurry up and hit him. Hit him! Hit him!
The old butler could not help but laugh. He pulled the blanket up a few more times and quietly left the room.
"Miss isn't feeling well. Let's skip this week's classes. Inform the teachers who are in class that they don't have to bother coming over," the old butler said to the row of maids outside the door.
A slightly older maid with curly hair frowned and said worriedly, "What if Master and Madam ask about it?"
The old housekeeper put on a straight face and said solemnly, "I will naturally explain to Master and Madam. Alright, you can all leave."
A row of maids lowered their heads as they walked down the luxurious hallway. The old butler brought a chair over and sat down in front of Avril's room. He held an ancient scroll in his hand and began to read it with great interest.
Earth, the headquarters of the Adjudicator Union's Crisis grade assessment.
There were a total of eighteen groups in the second phase of the assessment, and the first place of each group would directly enter the finals. Aside from Xia Fei and Chen Dong's group three, the other seventeen groups had already finished their matches.
However, as long as Xia Fei and Chen Dong did not end this extremely long battle, there would be no way for the finals to continue.
The staff of the Adjudicator Union began to leave one after another, and even half of the 5th Fleet in space had already left.
After all, there were less than a thousand candidates left, and it was a huge waste of human resources to keep so many staff on Earth. Moreover, every day that these people stayed on Earth would cost them a day's worth of expenses.
The staff on the ground were better off, especially the 5th Fleet. The cost of their daily patrol was astronomical!
Everyone was waiting, hoping that Xia Fei and Chen Dong would end their battle as soon as possible so that they could stop this endless entanglement so that this assessment with so many twists and turns could end as soon as possible.
However, Xia Fei and Chen Dong did not care about what these people were thinking. They were completely immersed in the joy of the battle, completely immersed in it as they fought crazily!
Xiao Haili stood with his hands behind his back in front of the assessment command center's large screen, his eyes fixed on a beautiful woman on the screen.
This beautiful woman was none other than Ye Xiaohan, who had a devilish figure.
According to the plan, Ye Xiaohan was supposed to return early with the over two thousand cadets from Heaven Execution Training Camp. After all, they were only there to help out, and matters like the assessment should have been handled by the assessment department.
However, for some reason, Ye Xiaohan still chose to stay behind. Every day, she would pretend that nothing had happened and walk around the assessment grounds a few times. There were even times when she would sneak into the assessment grounds late at night to watch Xia Fei and Chen Dong's match.
Others might not understand, but Xiao Haili knew very well that the reason why Ye Xiaohan was unwilling to leave was all because of one person: Xia Fei.
At this moment, Ye Xiaohan had arrived at the third floor's ring 21. There were many staff members from the Adjudicator Union sitting around the ring, as well as hundreds of examinees who were watching the show. Every time Xia Fei managed to escape from Chen Dong's attack, these people would exclaim in unison. It was obvious that they were all completely engrossed in this thrilling battle between Xia Fei and Chen Dong.
Ye Xiaohan took slow steps, circling the arena once, and then walked back the way she came.
Though she looked like she was about to leave, her eyes would occasionally sneak a peek at the ring, turning back three times with every step she took. It was clear that she had a lot on her mind.
Xiao Haili could see everything clearly on the monitor screen. He clenched his teeth, his expression as dark as still water.
There were many other colleagues in the monitoring room, and there was no way Xiao Haili would show his crazy side in front of them. Suppressing the rage in his heart, Xiao Haili cursed Xia Fei ten thousand times in his mind!
That was when President Robert pushed open the door and walked in. "Xiao Hai, what's going on with those reporters outside?"
Xiao Haili hurriedly turned to look at his teacher with a smile. "Hehe, they're all here to interview this match that's been dragging on a little too much. Our Union has only sold the live broadcast rights to the six major television stations, but we didn't sell the interview rights, so I've blocked them all outside."
Robert nodded. "Oh, that's good too. Arrange for their accommodations and meals; don't neglect them. Just say that the Adjudicator Union will be holding an important press conference after this match."
Xiao Haili furrowed his brows. "Teacher, why are we holding a press conference? Could the Union have something to announce?"
Robert patted Xiao Haili on the shoulder and smiled. "This is a great opportunity to show off the Adjudicator Union's attitude toward outstanding talents. I want to let those from the Monastic Order see that our Adjudicator Union is the number one organization in the universe in name and in reality."
No one could have imagined that Xia Fei and Chen Dong's match would last for twenty-one days!
More than 500 continuous hours of fierce fighting, such a long battle was a severe test for even an elite warrior, let alone an ordinary person!
In every corner of the star region, everyone was discussing this shocking battle. Aside from the extremely long duration of the battle, everyone wanted to know how Xia Fei and Chen Dong had managed to do all of this!
A regular person would feel extremely tired even if they did not sleep for twenty-four hours, let alone twenty-one days and nights. This had already surpassed everyone's imagination.
Without superhuman willpower and steel-like determination, there was no way they could have done all of this. It must be mentioned that not only had Xia Fei and Chen Dong not rested for the past five hundred hours, they had also been fighting non-stop!
Not only did fighting consume a lot of stamina, it also consumed a lot of mental strength. Right now, it was no longer a question of who would win or lose. To be able to create such an unprecedented record was in itself a huge victory!
The names of the Berserker Chen Dong and the Madman Xia Fei spread like wildfire. To be able to do something so crazy, what else could it be but a madman?
Xia Fei staggered toward Chen Dongs, his feet staggering, his mind a complete blank.
He had long forgotten why he was fighting. All he knew was that he had to persevere and could not afford to fall.
Chen Dong's condition was not any better. His two eyes stared straight at Xia Fei. He wanted to step forward and attack, but no matter what, he could not lift his legs. His legs felt like they weighed a thousand pounds, and he could not move them no matter how much strength he had.
The two of them were like puppets standing next to each other. You give me a punch, I give you a knife.
Their movements were incomparably slow, and there was no aggression to speak of.
Even so, the two were still stubbornly persevering, using the little bit of strength they had left to forcibly hold on.
* Pa! *
Xia Fei's Chasing Light hit Chen Dong's thick ice armor, but it was like a child's punching, weak and powerless.
* Pa! *
Chen Dong's arm pushed Xia Fei's shoulder with great effort, causing Xia Fei's body to sway a few times.
The surrounding staff and examinees applauded enthusiastically. A few sentimental girls secretly wiped away their tears at the side.
There was no longer any entertainment to the match up to this point, but it was still extremely shocking!
To be able to fight for a full twenty-one days, just what kind of persistence was this? How many people in this world could do this?
It was not just the audience; all the viewers in the Endaro Star Region could not help but applaud and cheer for Xia Fei and Chen Dong. This kind of strong willpower infected everyone, leaving an indelible mark in everyone's hearts.
The strong might have the right to be respected, but people like Xia Fei and Chen Dong, who were so persistent, also had the right to be admired!
* Pa! Pa! Pa! *
The two puppets kept hitting each other, but their speed was getting slower and slower, and their movements were getting stiffer and stiffer.
Finally, Xia Fei and Chen Dong reached their limits at the same time, and the two fell to the left and right of the ring.
Xia Fei struggled, wanting to get up from the ring, but his body was unable to do so.
After a few forceful struggles, Xia Fei laid flat on the cold ice surface, looking up at the sky with a smile on his face.
A draw!
The battle between the first and last on the strength leaderboard had actually ended in a draw!
In the history of the Adjudicator Union, this was the first time an arena match had ended in a draw!
505 hours, 11 minutes, and 37 seconds!
This was a new record!
A record that could not be reached!
"Awesome!"
"This is truly a great battle!"
"I've really gained some knowledge this time. To think that a person's willpower could actually be this strong!"
The audience was boiling!
The entire Endaro Star Region was also boiling!
This battle had made Xia Fei and Chen Dong's names known to the entire star region.
