Capítulo 1989: Chapter 2017: Are You Really Not Dead?
Li Xiaobai opened his eyes.
The space in front of him was empty, not a single person in sight. His gaze beca bewildered once again.
His mory refreshed, and he couldn’t rember the rock-paper-scissors ga earlier.
In a dark corner, Wang Ming had blood at the corner of his mouth, while Li Hua was a bit at a loss.
Two-thirds of the Visualized Item had been taken by Li Xiaobai, and the most frustrating part was that this guy didn’t even know he had already taken two-thirds of his Law of Power.
What could be more exasperating than this?
“I’m keeping watch here. Brother Wang, you should hurry back to report the situation.”
“Li Xiaobai’s situation is too unique. After all, we are just monitoring the situation. If any action needs to be taken, the City Lord must make the decision.”
Li Hua advised, slightly worried that Wang Ming might lose his temper and gamble away all the Visualized Item in one breath.
If Li Xiaobai obtained the complete [Plunder], he might evolve to a terrifying level.
“Having co this far, I cannot return in disgrace. Even if I do go back, I’m afraid the City Lord won’t spare easily!”
“I hold the Law of Fate. Destiny will stand by my side. I will reclaim what I lost with my own hands!”
Wang Ming gritted his teeth. He was so weak that he could barely stand, his body feeling incredibly heavy.
Looking at the utterly bewildered Li Xiaobai made him angry, though he respected this master, he felt unfairly bullied.
A fool who lost all his mory, yet defeated him completely relying only on instinctive reactions?
He wouldn’t believe such nonsense!
“Once more, I have the absolute advantage this ti; there’s no way I can lose again. I was careless before, now we’ll use the sure-win thod!”
“In a mont, hide behind him. When we play rock-paper-scissors, bend his fingers into a fist shape. As long as he’s focused on the ga, he won’t rember soone shaping his fingers into a fist!”
After saying this, Wang Ming didn’t pay attention to Li Hua’s hesitation and directly walked in front of Li Xiaobai, squatting down.
“Kid, let’s play rock-paper-scissors. You lost the last round.”
Wang Ming said calmly.
“Where’s the referee?”
Li Xiaobai rembered what had happened earlier and asked.
“He left. Unfortunately, your psychology isn’t up to par yet.”
“I know, both sides have their eyes closed and can’t see the outco, so there’s doubt in their hearts. Therefore, this round we’ll play with our eyes open. If you win, ask whatever you want. How about it?”
Wang Ming extended his fist and asked.
Li Xiaobai said, “You won’t cheat this ti, right? If I win, you must tell what’s really happening.”
“Of course, a man must keep his word.”
Wang Ming nodded.
“Alright then, let’s go for another round.”
Li Xiaobai scratched his head and beca serious.
“Make your move, rock-paper-scissors!”
Wang Ming’s aura intensified, stepping forward with montum like a rainbow, striking like lightning. He played paper.
Li Xiaobai slowly made a scissor gesture, but in the next second, the two fingers he extended gradually retracted as if a force from the void turned his scissors into a rock.
“Heh heh, I won.”
Wang Ming’s face showed a proud expression. Wouldn’t it have been easier to do this earlier, instead of suffering?
“What… happened?”
“How did my scissors turn into a rock?”
Li Xiaobai stared dumbfounded at his fist, puzzled.
He kept updating his mory of the rock-paper-scissors ga, unable to notice the unseen Li Hua from behind.
“This is destiny, do you understand what destiny is?”
“A person’s fortune has its limits. You beat six tis in a row, and it seed like your fortune was climbing, but everything flourishes to decline. Your fortune has reached its peak and is starting to fall.”
“As I’ve lost six rounds continuously, now I’m starting to win against you, indicating my fortune is finally rising up too. Can you comprehend this? It’s the difference between a setting sun and a rising sun. I’ve surpassed myself, and I’m destined to win this round!”
Wang Ming’s eyebrows soared with pride, his face was terribly pale, but his eyes were brilliant. This thod worked, and he was going to keep winning to regain the Visualized Item!
“Destiny, surpassing oneself.”
Li Xiaobai contemplated his words, clenched his fist tighter, and his eyes gradually beca firm.
The opponent had surpassed himself, and he must respond in kind. After all, giving one’s all is the greatest respect to an opponent!
“Bring it on!”
“Rock-paper-scissors!”
Wang Ming took a horse stance, steady as a mountain, threw a punch, and showed paper.
Li Xiaobai followed suit, standing up, twisting his waist, his aura fierce, once again forming a scissor gesture.
But this ti was slightly different from before; as Li Xiaobai gave his all, a faint golden glow erged on the scissor hand.
Lurking in the shadows, Li Hua tried the sa tactic, attempting to bend Li Xiaobai’s fingers into a fist.
But his expression quickly changed. The power coming from Li Xiaobai’s arm was like the Sea Dragon, swift as an arrow, sothing he couldn’t restrain with a simple grip.
“What the heck, his body’s instinctive reaction released strength!”
“Did the similarity between the rock-paper-scissors gesture and a punch awaken his muscle mory?”
Li Hua intensified his effort, determined to suppress Li Xiaobai’s arm, but the glow on the arm was the Divine Hand, not sothing he, in the Immortal Gods Realm, could resist. Almost instantly, his body was flung into the air.
The next second, the scissor hand pierced Wang Ming’s abdon, tearing through him as if ripping through tofu.
“I won, did you see that? I also surpassed myself and defeated destiny!”
“My fortune continues to ascend!”
Li Xiaobai withdrew his hand, his face full of excitent.
Only when he saw the large hole in Wang Ming’s abdon did he sit down in fright.
“You… your stomach…”
“I’m sorry, it wasn’t who did it…”
Li Xiaobai was dumbfounded, looking at his fingers, then at Wang Ming’s abdon, his face full of fear.
It seed like he did it, but how could his hand pierce through a human body?
“Puh!”
Wang Ming spat blood, kneeled on the ground, his voice hoarse as he said, “It’s alright, sotis this happens with rock-paper-scissors. Now it’s one to one, let’s continue, the next one will decide the winner!”
“But there’s such a big hole in your stomach, I can even see the view on the other side of the hole.”
Li Xiaobai pointed at Wang Ming’s abdon. Is rock-paper-scissors really that fun, to the extent one could risk their life for it?
“No worries, what’s a re fatal injury, this is a trial. To surpass oneself, one must let go of everything!”
Wang Ming’s gaze started to blur. In his daze, he saw the flung Li Hua return behind Li Xiaobai.
With a gaze, he hinted to proceed. Li Xiaobai was wavering internally due to his injuries, whereas Wang Ming’s resolve was stronger than ever. In this final round, he had to be the victor!
“Final round, rock-paper-scissors!”
Wang Ming played paper again, believing Li Hua could achieve it.
“I know, Brother Wang, this is your life-or-death battle. I won’t hold you back; I’ll ensure you survive!”
“The City Lord’s orders are irrelevant now; I must surpass my limits as well.”
“The Visualized Item [Equivalent Exchange], exchange my arm with Li Xiaobai. Since I can’t prevent you showing scissors, let punch!”
