299 Protect Shi Xiaobai (1/2)

Chapter 299: Protect Shi Xiaobai

“The thirty-third round shall begin immediately. Death Epaulette wearer has been randomly chosen. The wearer’s name is Shi Xiaobai!”

The moment the solemn voice that resounded faded, two images appeared in the minds of every rookie still in the fifth level. One of them was a compressed map of the entire mountain, with two blips of different colors.

As for the other image, it was that of a black-haired youth standing with the sword supporting his body. His eyes were closed and his delicate face looked overwhelmed with exhaustion. The back of his clothes was tattered, with blood flowing everywhere. The scene seemed to contain an indescribable sadness.

The scene slowly turned into one that overlooked the area. On the black grounds riddled in craters, the rookies stared at the youth, with looks of shock.

The youth was standing there quietly and looked extremely weak. Yet, it stirred the hearts of people. They wanted to know why he was in such a state at present, and wanted to know the story that had happened prior to this. They wanted to let him lie down and rest without worries.

This person was Shi Xiaobai?

This was the person with the most mysterious identity and astounding achievements in the trials, Shi Xiaobai?

Everyone’s eyes were focused on Shi Xiaobai, who had his eyes tightly shut and breathing extremely weakly. Their expressions were as though they had seen a ghost.

The atmosphere seemed to freeze for a second at that instant before it erupted into chaos!

“Heavens, Tu Dahei is Shi Xiaobai?”

“Holy shit, I was only impressed by two people in this trial. One was Tu Dahei and the other was Shi Xiaobai. Now, they are both the same person?”

“At the first level, I had just killed the first Nightmare Terror, and news of Shi Xiaobai clearing the level in less than twenty seconds was heard. I was so shocked that I nearly kneeled down. At the second level, Tu Dahei launched the counteroffensive on the Demon City, leading more than four hundred rookies towards victory. Back then, I was crying out loudly with tears streaming down my face ‘City Destroyer Hero’. At the third level, the Level Lord descended and my team was short of 200 points. I thought we were doomed when the news of Shi Xiaobai having conquered the Level Lord was heard. At that moment, I nearly called Shi Xiaobai my daddy while crying. And just a while ago, I was touched and shocked by Tu Dahei. I was even thinking who was better, Tu Dahei or Shi Xiaobai, and it now turns out that Tu Dahei is Shi Xiaobai. I’m convinced, I’m truly convinced!”

“Eh, I finally understand why I can’t help but associate the name Tu Dahei and Shi Xiaobai. It’s because the fucking name, Tu Dahei is the opposite of Shi Xiaobai!”

“Fuck, this is a god-like figure. From the first to fifth level, other than the fourth level, he created an astounding matter at every level. Shi Xiaobai, please accept my kneel!”

“Haha, I suddenly want to know who was the unlucky person who encountered Tu Dahei on the fourth level’s duel elimination.”

“Hey, so should we call him Tu Dahei or Shi Xiaobai in the future?”

“I suddenly have a sense of anticipation as to which level Shi Xiaobai can go to and what sort of things will he do in the trials later on.”

“In the trials later on? Sorry, although the names Tu Dahei and Shi Xiaobai are truly astonishing, it is because of that that there are numerous people who want to eliminate him. Look at his present condition…do you think he can survive this level?”

“Pardon me for butting in. Sunless is a goddess, so I could not bear to hurt her, but for Sunless…don’t forget about the existence of the Level Lord. How many ten minute rounds do we have to waste? So even if it’s taking advantage of his perilous situation, I have to be selfish this once!”

“I don’t know anything about launching a counteroffensive on the Demon City. When Shi Xiaobai conquered the Level Lord, I was already on the fourth level. I don’t owe him a thing. If all of you aren’t doing a thing… I’ll be going on up?”

“…”

The rookies’ emotional discussion suddenly fell silent. The news of Tu Dahei being Shi Xiaobai had indeed given them a big shock, to the point of a baffling sense of being touched, but it could not change a cruel fact. This round’s fugitive was Shi Xiaobai!

If they carried on being a member of the popcorn-eating crowd, another ten minutes would be wasted. The Level Lord’s threat would approach, so how many Life and Death Assaults were there left?

If they attacked the extremely weak Shi Xiaobai, it would not only be a shameless act, it would also very likely enrage the masses.

Therefore, although there were already rookies clamoring verbally to attack Shi Xiaobai, no one truly took action. Everyone was watching Shi Xiaobai blankly as they fell into a dilemma.

However, Mu Yuesheng did not have any such dilemmas. From the moment Shi Xiaobai fell unconscious, she had been standing beside Shi Xiaobai. At this moment, she was looking around at full alert. Icy-blue electric bolts darted around Shi Xiaobai, as though they were guardians protecting Shi Xiaobai.

If anyone dared to make a thoughtless move, she would absolutely not spare them!

At this moment, an armored youth walked out of the crowd. He had a stern expression on his face as he turned towards the crowd and said in a deep voice, “I do not know what all of you are hesitating for? I only know that at the third level, I might have very likely been eliminated by the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign if not for Shi Xiaobai. I only know that Shi Xiaobai should not be eliminated here. He is our competitor, but he is also the pride of our organization faction! I would rather be eliminated here than to attack Shi Xiaobai. No, I, Feng Yuanlin, shall declare that whoever dares to make a move on Shi Xiaobai, that person will have to step over my dead body!”

Feng Yuanlin changed from his usual humorous image and said righteous words that sounded thought-provoking.

Immediately, another rookie walked out and said loudly, “If not for Tu Dahei, I would have been eliminated in the second level. He darted through the plains filled with demonic beasts and that scene of him destroying the Demonic Tree is still fresh on my mind. He is the hero in my heart. Whoever wants to touch him, ask my saber first!”

A stout rookie walked out and said with a deep voice, “The counteroffensive on the Demon City and the Level Lord was something I didn’t experience. But in the past few minutes, Shi Xiaobai’s performance was witnessed by me. Feng Yuanlin’s statement resonated with me. Tu Dahei should not be eliminated here. He should become one of the ten people of the collective training. He will be the pride of the organization faction! As a supporter of the organization faction, I choose to protect Shi Xiaobai!”

The voluptuous girl, Zhou Chuchu, who held a whip, walked out and said, “Shi Xiaobai’s protection of Sunless was absolutely so cool. I don’t care, no one is to touch him!”

Liu Yu waved his whisk and said with a laugh, “This penniless priest had a fortuitous meeting with Shi Xiaobai.”

An Mo said softly, “Liu Yu’s intentions are mine as well.”
