Chapter 554: Chapter 249 Unmoving Shura_2

And at the edge of the venue, a faint barrier had appeared, which flashed briefly with a glimmer, rendering it as invisible as the air.

Clearly, the intensity of this Tiger King Conference was different—the previous facilities were no longer sufficient, so the organizers had additionally reinforced the battleground.

"Krocodile eliminated, winner Tai Sui."

An Angel Envoy announced the result, and Gao Xin nodded as he returned to the waiting area.

The crowd was abuzz with comments: "Krocodile was so foolish, Tai Sui had already given him a chance, hinting he could fight until utterly drained."

"Yet he still chose to witness the strongest strike, and wasn’t that just instantly fatal?"

"If Tai Sui offers such an opportunity in the next round, if I were him, I’d choose to defeat me in ten thousand moves, let’s see what he would say..."

"If he dares agree, then I’d fight him desperately, I could probably win."

"Right, didn’t he rely on the same tactic to win over the referee before?"

Amidst the bustling crowd, being paired against Tai Sui was considered highly despairing.

It meant that for them, this journey at the Tiger King Conference was over.

But now, Gao Xin’s words to Krocodile had sparked hope in their hearts again.

Choosing how to lose? Was Tai Sui too arrogant?

Tai Sui, exploiting the fact that his opponent’s attacks were not lethal, had defeated a True Elephant Level referee and even used the referee’s head to make Themis concede.

Everyone was aware of these maneuvers.

And now Tai Sui was also offering them such chances?

"I feel he wouldn’t agree to such things, and he’d refuse if brought up."

"He must have anticipated that Krocodile wanted to witness the strongest hit, so he said that beforehand."

"Right, as if he could do this every fight, you guys are overly hopeful."

The discussions continued while the tournament went on.

The next pair of contestants entered the ring, and after a fierce battle, a winner was determined.

Another pair followed suit, and thus the cycle repeated, swiftly concluding the first round.

Only 1024 contestants advanced to the next round.

Win one round, advance to the next; to reach the semifinals, one must win nine consecutive rounds.

In previous conferences, everyone’s strength was more or less the same, making it possible to win against anyone they got matched with.

But in this edition, no one wanted to encounter Tai Sui, Themis, Wei Miao, or Constellation Dragon too early.

Haven’t you seen Krocodile, a stable semifinalist and former Tiger King, get eliminated in the first round?

His rank plummeted from being a former T1 potential Tiger King to a T3 potential Tiger King within the top two thousand—utterly disastrous.

Everyone prayed they wouldn’t encounter these monsters too soon.

They weren’t afraid of battling, but they hoped to achieve a higher ranking before meeting such foes.

"Tai Sui, your next match is against Mu Sha..." Wei Lan glanced at the external roulette wheel and scratched his head.

Gao Xin’s expression turned bizarre: "Another Tiger King?"

Wei Lan chuckled: "Mu Sha was the Tiger King of my previous conference, last edition he only lost to me."

"Had it not been for you freaks appearing, this edition’s final battle would likely have been between him and me."

Many Tiger Kings had come this edition, four in total.

Since there’s only one Tiger King title, the dethroned King becomes a potential Tiger King.

But the change in title does not mean a drop in power.

"You aren’t going to give him that chance, are you? This guy is desperate to beat you! He’ll definitely say something about losing after ten thousand moves..." Wei Lan said.

Gao Xin casually replied, "It doesn’t matter; if he wants to choose, I’ll let him choose."

"This is really interesting, what are you up to?" Wei Lan puzzled.

Gao Xin closed his eyes: "I just feel like, taking a rest."

"???" Wei Lan did not understand.

Gao Xin, not overly concerned about his opponents, continued to eat heartily and subsequently closed his eyes to meditatively train.

He focused wholly on his body, eager to awaken more modules.

Haley, Jiang Long, Han Feng—all these samples covered too many modules.

He wasn’t lacking anything now, only time.

Hours later, an Angel Envoy reminded him that it was time to take the stage.

Tai Sui opened his eyes, voraciously devoured a large amount of radiant beast meat, and then leaped into the arena.

"Here it comes, Mu Sha matched against Tai Sui, I’ve been looking forward to this battle for a long time."

"Mu Sha, Mu Sha, you said you could beat Tai Sui? Now you’re matched against him, show us how you win."

"Tai Sui, kill him, don’t give him a chance. If you lose, I’m unfollowing."

"Mu Sha! Beat him! What a hot favorite, the hotter they are, the surer they die. If you beat Tai Sui, I’ll make everyone in the entire group support you for life."

The live comments surged in frenzy, especially when it came to Tai Sui, the excitement skyrocketed.

Especially since he had continuously held the title at the Tiger King Conference twice, his opponents also had plenty of fans.

And Tai Sui was too despised; many who saw his game were even more infuriated.

As a result, those who followed him fell into two categories: those who genuinely liked him, and others who wished he would die!

Gao Xin’s eighteen arms spread out like a Shura God Statue.

Just one glance, and Mu Sha felt an immense pressure; his heart was pounding.

"Wait a second! Tai Sui, I admit there’s a big gap between us, and I’m here as a challenger," Mu Sha said.

As soon as Mu Sha uttered these words, the comments erupted: How could he be so timid as soon as he got on stage?

Gao Xin chuckled, "So, Mu Sha, how would you like to lose?"

Mu Sha’s eyes lit up; there it was, he had actually asked.

His heart surged: Since you mercifully asked, I won’t hesitate to answer...

"Ten hours! I hope to fight you for ten hours before I lose to you!" Mu Sha grinned.

Instantly, the spectating crowd was revived; there it was, Mu Sha wouldn’t pass up this opportunity.

He even set a time limit!

If Tai Sui couldn’t defeat him within ten hours, the restriction was significant.

Tai Sui dared to play like this? He’s going to get killed! Does he think Mu Sha is an amateur?

As for this, Gao Xin’s gaze remained unflustered, "Alright, twenty hours is also fine."

The crowd was in uproar; was this really happening? He even thought it was not enough? Is he crazy?

Mu Sha’s face soured; Gao Xin’s composure put immense pressure on him.

"Ten hours is enough. I don’t believe that I can’t beat you like this."

"If I still lose, I have nothing more to say."

Gao Xin nodded, "Then do your best."

As he spoke, he touched his stomach and sat down cross-legged.

He then transferred the Vermilion Bird Hand and two other S+ weapons to his exoskeleton arms.

With empty hands, he gestured to Mu Sha, "Come on."

"Looking for death!" Mu Sha fumed. The fight had begun, and he still dared to sit unmoved?

Immediately, he went into a five-stage overclocking mode, attacking like a mad demon. He was wielding an A+ grade weapon, which was quite powerful.

Electricity danced around him like silver snakes, striking out a stunning Thunder Slash.

He went all in from the start, intending to beat Gao Xin to death.

However, Gao Xin did not strike back, and he even remained sitting.

He crossed his hands in front of him, closed his eyes, lowered his head, as if he were asleep.

"Boom!"

A terrifying impact occurred, and everyone thought, Tai Sui was too arrogant.

However, his exoskeleton moved, a huge shield blocking the Thunder Slash.

At the same time, the White Tiger Axe swung fiercely, slashing Mu Sha into two halves and sending him flying.

"Damn!"

"He deflected and counterattacked!"

"Tai Sui didn’t even look..."

"No need to look. Tai Sui definitely has a scanning field, providing a wider view."

"But really, he just sat there, immobilizing Mu Sha by manipulating the exoskeleton?"

"If he had pursued the victory, he could have won."

The spectating crowd was astonished, but Gao Xin did not pursue the victory, still sitting motionless in the same spot.

This allowed Mu Sha to calmly repair himself; now he stood up bewilderedly, circling around Gao Xin, his eyes full of doubt and suspicion.

Tai Sui’s towering Shura body, eighteen arms pointing in all directions, either holding weapons or gestures swirling with force fields.

Each forming Thunder, heatwaves, or compressed shockwaves.

Like an immovable statue, he fully exerted his power.
