431 I hate you (1/2)

To prove that he was the most excellent imitation because that was the meaning of his existence.

To the people in the know, like Mu Yuesheng and the silver-haired girl, the sentence was a depressing form of deprecating himself in a way that shot strange pangs through the hearts of people. It was also a compromise to the ironic fate he had. It was something pitiable and heart-wrenching.

That year, Speechless was only four years old. At a stunning pace, he broke through to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. His superpower was awoken and in that long but fleeting awakening dream, he dreamed the daily toil he had everyday from morning to night. It was one where he imitated the Hero King's day. He dreamed of the family members who constantly said the word Hero King, while giving him 'amiable' looks.

In Speechless's superpower awakening dream, he dreamed of a reality he wanted to escape from the most. It was a childhood that was void of joy and toys. All there existed was imitation after imitation.

After that, his superpower was awakened. It was a stunning S-class superpower. It was extremely rare in China, and he was immediately labeled as a prodigy.

However, his superpower was ironically called—Imitation.

For a boy who was arranged to imitate the life of another from his birth, the power he should have been proud of was still imitation. It was as though his life was being restrained by the gallows of 'imitation'.

But Imitation allowed him to become stronger. It was a strength that made him far surpass his peers, even to the point of him surpassing adults.

The ability to imitate made him become the most promising Li family descendant in three thousand years as the one who could become the second Hero King. He had become the unquestioned number one existence of the younger generation in China.

He did not know if he should hate or thank 'Imitation'.

However, he did not have the thoughts of rebelling against his family, fate or imitation. Hence, even though he grew up and gradually became more mentally mature, while his thoughts of becoming 'Speechless Li' and not someone else became even more intense, he still did not choose to rebel.

That was because Imitation gave him kind loved ones and a warm family. It gave him powerful strength and glorious fame. Imitation gave him too much that he could no longer return.

Speechless Li took the initiative to be partners with Imitation.

Therefore, Imitation became the meaning behind his existence.

Then, within the meaning of such an existence, what he could do was push imitation to its limits, which was—become that man's most excellent imitation.

Therefore, when an imitated Hero King appeared, it was an enemy to the meaning behind his existence.

It was not an ordinary enemy.

It was an enemy he had to personally defeat.

It was the best enemy to prove the meaning of his ironic existence.

...

”Shi Xiaobai, can I borrow your sword?”

Speechless requested as he looked sideways.

Shi Xiaobai was someone who was not in the know, nor did he know what sort of existence the fake Hero King was to Speechless. But the sharp him was able to sense the complicated emotions Speechless was having.

Without any hesitation, he remerged the black and white swords and precisely threw it at Speechless.

The Hero King might be a pretty good opponent, but Shi Xiaobai had no lack of opponents.

As for Speechless, he was a pretty good friend. Shi Xiaobai did not wish to lose any friends.

”Thank you.”

Speechless apparently never expected Shi Xiaobai to be so straightforward as a warm smile suffused across his lips.

By lending the sword, it meant that Shi Xiaobai was temporarily handing the opponent over to him.

Speechless turned to look at the giant.

The giant gave an angry laugh before turning around to walk to the wall to sit down. He said with a sneer, ”As you wish. This King will quietly watch a good show.”

The giant had a massive body that did not match his agility. He also had a perceptive mind that was unlike his violent appearance.

He would not easily believe the words of the blond youth that suddenly appeared because the Celestial Fire could only be used through the teachings of the Celestial King. He could not believe the blond youth's words.

Therefore, the giant chose to take a wait-and-see attitude.

Speechless was very pleased with the giant's 'tactfulness'. He turned to look at the deadpan but apparently extremely patient blond youth. He said coldly, ”Unsheathe your sword. Let me see how well you have imitated the sword techniques that he was best at during this period of time.”

The blond youth remained deadpan. His exquisite facial features looked like they were set in stone. Other than his nose moving slightly because of his breathing, and the occasional blinking, there was no other additional changes.
