204 We Canst Lose Again! (1/2)
Chapter 204: We Can’t Lose Again!
More than half the audience stood up in solidarity and support for “Tu Dahei”.
Heartless’ face turned increasingly pale. He found it unimaginable that Tu Dahei was a rookie. That strike was without any fanciful flair, it was just Beginner Sword with tremendous force. That power did not belong to the realm of the Psionic Mortal Realm. Hence, from his point of view, Tu Dahei was definitely a con Gaia had set in place to reverse the situation in the event the battle exchange tradition was ceased.
However, against the outrage of the masses, he could not prove a thing.
The female whopper looked at Heartless’ expression and gritting her teeth, she turned to yell at the audience, “Shut up! All of you are cheats! All you shills! It’s impossible for that Tu Dahei to be a rookie. How can a rookie defeat Brother Heartless with a single strike? How can you even quibble over such a simple logical question!?”
The audience responded with angry jeers when they heard her. The audience were people with glass hearts. Despite it being the truth, they were infuriated when they were labeled cheats.
Seeing the situation getting out of control, One-Pun stood forward and said to everyone. “There’s no need to argue further. Tu Dahei is indeed a rookie. He is a rookie recruited by Riko and I. Riko’s recommendation was given to him. Also, Tu Dahei will be heading to Shanghai tomorrow to participate in the mass selection. There is no way to fake this.”
With One-Pun saying this, it was the nail in the coffin.
The six rookies from Zeus suffered a great change in expression. Heartless’ face paled. With One-Pun’s status, it was very unlikely he would lie. Furthermore, there was no way to fake the mass selection. It was also impossible for One-Pun to use something that could be verified tomorrow as a lie. All of this pointed to the likelihood that Tu Dahei was truly a rookie.
That Tu Dahei was a Psionic Mortal Realm Psionite!
Heartless’ face turned pale as his lips trembled. That extremely simple-looking strike had a terrifying power to it, so powerful that he had yet to recover from the mental blow. Tu Dahei’s power had likely far surpassed his.
Was this what it meant that experts were in the grassroots?
Heartless looked at the elderly God of Swords with a pleaful look. At this moment, the only person he could believe in was the elderly God of Swords.
The other five Zeus rookies also cast their gazes at the God of Swords.
The audience all fell silent.
The elderly God of Swords sighed and walked towards them. He said, “Indeed, that strike’s power far exceeds the Psionic Mortal Realm, but Tu Dahei’s psionic cultivation realm… Even if I have poor eyes, it should not be a mistake that he is only at the seventh level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. Hence, Tu Dahei is unmistakably a rookie!”
When Heartless heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning. Someone at the seventh level of the Psionic Mortal Realm had one-shot him?
Those people who knew of Tu Dahei fell into a daze.
Wasn’t Tu Dahei just at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm a few days ago? Why was he now at the seventh level of the Psionic Mortal Realm? Holy shit, that fellow levels up as though he’s sitting on rockets!
As the elderly God of Swords looked at the crowd, he said apologetically, “Gaia’s rookies are indeed teeming with hidden talents. I shall personally apologize for my disciple’s ‘arrogant’ words to Gaia. The battle exchange tradition will never be canceled. Zeus and Gaia’s friendship will last forever!”
With this said, the audience burst into an uproar of cheers. With the elderly God of Swords acknowledging Gaia, this made the audience who were deeply disappointed with Gaia suddenly rediscover their faith in Gaia.
The audience or the public, in general, were such creatures. Their praise or condemnation was usually not a result of many complicated factors. All that mattered was what feelings they had from what was shown to them.
Without a doubt, Shi Xiaobai’s sudden appearance of a short minute—that one punch, that one slash, that one sentence—had changed their view of Gaia!
The elderly God of Swords looked at the six Zeus rookies and said with a sigh, “Let’s go.”
Heartless’ face was pale as he said with great difficulty, “Why?”
