276 Always ready (2/2)

The burly teenager did not realize that although Kevin’s eyes were glazed over, the cold glimmer in his eyes was calm and resolute. His five fingers had never separated from beginning to end. His right palm appeared to be always ready!

…

Fourth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, Battle Arena #2

Heartless looked at the black-haired youth with delicate facial features in front of him. His eyes looked as though he was in a trance. He had recalled the day of the battle exchange. The strike that he was helpless against, and the power from that strike that clearly did not belong to a person of this level.

“Tu Dahei.”

Heartless never expected to encounter the opponent he absolutely did not want to meet in the ‘duel elimination’. But similarly, the pride of being a super rookie made him unafraid to face the battle!

Heartless slowly pulled a black sword from his back. This sword was more valuable than the previous one he used. The Ye family’s head had sent him this sword in anger after learning that Heartless’ sword that had accompanied him for a decade had been shattered.

This sword did not have a name. It was entirely black in color and was one of the sacred items passed down in Ye family for countless years.

However, this black sword once belonged to a legendary figure, so this black sword did not easily recognize a master. Although the Ye family had lasted for several millennia, few could truly control this black sword.

Heartless had yet to be able to fully control the sword, but his sword talent was astounding, so he had obtained a preliminary recognition of the black sword!

When the Ye family head sent the black sword over, an angry message came along with it—If you were to shatter this black sword, you are no longer part of the Ye family!

Heartless raised the black sword as fighting spirit gradually ignited in his eyes. He would not lose this time, nor could he lose!

Shi Xiaobai smiled slightly as he was rather happy. To be able to meet Heartless at the fourth level’s duel of elimination was an extremely good thing for him!

Back at the battle exchange, in order to help Gaia, he had used ‘One Second Shura’. In fact, it was not Shi Xiaobai’s usual style. It did not conform to his kingly ways!

Shi Xiaobai was still nursing a grievance over the matter. Hence, to be able to fight Heartless with his true strength was something Shi Xiaobai anticipated greatly!

Shi Xiaobai slowly stretched out his right hand. White light bloomed as a pure-white Holy Radiance appeared in his hand.

The two of them faced each other in silence, but their eyes were filled with burning fighting spirit. It only professed a single word—battle!

“Three, two, one, begin!”

Once the mechanical voice was done, Heartless immediately charged at Shi Xiaobai!

Shi Xiaobai raised Holy Radiance and gradually lifted his right foot, as he was prepared to charge head on!

At this moment, a fiery voice suddenly resounded in Shi Xiaobai’s mind:

“Daily-style Absolute Choice is over. Twelve hours have passed. Massage Technique of God has yet to reached the Exemplary Mastery realm. You will experience a C-level punishment! From this moment forth, your right hand will completely and absolutely lose all feeling for the next twelve hours!”

“Receive your punishment, youth!”

The moment the voice was done, the right hand Shi Xiaobai had raised immediately lost all feeling. His five fingers that held Holy Radiance immediately stiffened.

“Clang!”

Holy Radiance fell out of Shi Xiaobai’s right hand and dropped to the ground.

At the same time, Heartless’ black sword slashed over!
