Chapter 592 - 268: He’s in Control!

Chapter 592: Chapter 268: He’s in Control!

Listening to the cheers of the crowd, Gao Xin felt somewhat reflective.

If he had revealed his exoskeleton entering the Elephant Level earlier, no one would have believed that he was still at the Tiger Level.

They would likely think he had already reached the Elephant Level and was using some type of module to hide his rank, disguising himself as a Tiger.

Or, they would desperately try to research what module or power allowed him to attack with a substitute.

Because he had shaken a greatly authoritative perception.

But now, the situation was completely different.

Having witnessed Tai Sui’s battles all the way, breaking too many perceptions.

He was the strongest Tiger, the most perfect Tiger, unprecedented, without any forebears.

When he had reached perfection, he finally used a substitute attack.

Upon reflection, everyone suddenly felt that it wasn’t such a big deal anymore.

It had become somewhat expected.

"Tai Sui wins! Yak loses his qualification to compete."

Saint Peter took control of the stage again, and the Throne Angel Body of Themis circling high in the sky did not intervene.

He just wanted to know one result, whether Tai Sui was more formidable, or Yak.

As it turned out, Tai Sui was more formidable.

Even without breaking through, Tai Sui had won.

The venue was filled with cheers; they had witnessed history.

No one was envious or nitpicking anymore because this had broken all skepticism, and no one could even find a precedent to compare with.

Tai Sui was the new standard, to be used to measure others.

This competition created too many records, completely turning a new page.

The former Tiger King, eliminated in the earlier rounds, had practiced all aspects to the limits of a Tiger King, owning the consciousness of a Mythical Level, but was eliminated in the top eight.

One could imagine that in the future, no one without Mu Sha’s standard would dare to call themselves an almost-Tiger King.

Those without the consciousness of a Mythical Level couldn’t be considered as T1 beings.

And only those who broke through the limit, opening a new pinnacle for humanity, were qualified to compete for the title of Tiger King.

And it was just a competition because even Yak, who also surpassed the pinnacle of human consciousness, lost.

It was too much to handle, luckily they were about to battle it out at the Elephant Level. Yak had already stepped into the Elephant Level, and Tai Sui was likely close behind.

In one competition, two epoch-making, myth-surpassing existences emerged; everyone felt that a new level of consciousness needed to be specifically established for them.

Labeled as the Mythical Level.

According to Themis, although the level above the Mythical consciousness is the Unparalleled Level, the definition of Unparalleled Level is a height that humans will never be able to reach.

So, even though one is the third level and the other is the fourth, three will never become four; even the greatest human, at most, keeps expanding the height of the Mythical Level.

And no matter how high this promotion, it only makes sense when compared with other myths, not with the Unparalleled Level.

Although nobody knew why Themis was so certain, based on their reverence for Emperor Ran, they had no choice but to accept it.

Since the Mythical Level is a tier without a defined upper limit, there have been cases like Milan, a myth who beats other myths.

Now that Tai Sui and Yak have emerged as examples, they felt that truly, above the Mythical Level, there should be another tier, the Mythical Level, to correspond to individuals like Tai Sui.

The definition is, existences that can expand the peak of human consciousness.

All are myths, but some individuals barely qualify as myths, while others are no longer satisfied with just reaching the peak and choose to go one step further, surpassing the peak and becoming the peak themselves.

They, on their own, elevate the pinnacle of human performance.

Obviously, such epoch-making existences are not suited to be treated solely as myths.

"In the future, the classifications for human consciousness will be Elite, Expert, Mythical, and Mythical Level, with Unparalleled Level renamed to the fifth level."

"Tai Sui and Yak are undoubtedly Mythical Level, after all, it’s because of them that this category was defined."

"I think Milan and Quinn are also Mythical Level, they are in a class of their own."

"Then by that logic, Cang Yue must be as well."

"So, there are only five at the Mythical Level: Cang Yue, Milan, Quinn, Tai Sui, Yak."

"What about Tyrant Caesar? He’s also extremely strong; besides Milan, he has won all other battles."

"He seems to be just shy of it, probably the strongest myth, but not quite Mythical."

"Ha ha, I can already imagine Caesar raging, he and Milan used to be called the peerless legends, considered equal, but now that the new benchmark is set, they are directly divided into two different tiers."

The audience had a heated discussion, directly defining new levels based on the performance of Tai Sui and Yak.

They came from major conglomerates and magnates, naturally wielding this influence.

What was most crucial was, this competition had high-ranking Angel Envoys.

The claim of raising the human peak came from Themis himself.

Given that both Tai Sui and Yak defeated Themis, their achievement was incredibly valuable, naturally strengthening the resolve of the crowd to establish new ranks.

"The competition is decided, my time to leave has come."

"I’ve gained a lot, Saint Peter. I won’t bother you anymore."

The giant Throne Angel Body of Themis transformed back into the Sky Carrier.

After that, an Authority Angel emerged from within it.

Shrouded in gold, a giant eagle-headed god stood firm in the middle of a translucent ring.

He effortlessly reclaimed the mechanical sentinel body he used before, then soared into the sky.

This data was very precious; Themis couldn’t wait to return and delve deeply into research.

Up to now, it was the only set of data on someone of the same level defeating Yak.

A feat even high-ranking Angel Envoys couldn’t achieve, and combined with Gao Xin’s Trojan Horse model, the research value was immense.

Saint Peter watched over Themis’s departure without attempt to stop him.

Although the competition hadn’t completely ended, Themis had also broken the rules, so he too had lost his qualification to compete.

Thus, including Yak who had broken into the Elephant Level, two of the top four were gone.

Luckily, Tai Sui had not broken through.

"Saint Peter, what’s next for the competition?" Gao Xin asked as he furiously devoured meat in the waiting area.

Saint Peter calmly said, "As usual, due to special circumstances, the eliminated contestants will be replaced by those with the closest ranking."

"Therefore, Piscis Austrinus Feis, Tequila, Han Feng, and Dragon Seat from the top eight will decide on two contestants to enter the top four."

Suddenly, the four named individuals twitched their mouths, and many almost-Tiger Kings had odd expressions on their faces.

The barrage was even more hilarious: "Hahaha, is it necessary to drag them up there for another beating?"

"That’s so sad, Yak was beaten into a breakthrough, Themis was beaten out of the contest, why not just award the Tiger King title to Tai Sui directly?"

"Exactly, is it necessary to go through this process?"

"There’s no way around it, Saint Peter himself is presiding, he couldn’t possibly break his own rules."

Indeed, that had always been the rule, and occasionally someone would withdraw due to special circumstances. Then, the next in line would take his place.

But previously, the gaps in strength weren’t significant, and it was common for upsets among the top eight as well. Those who filled in were not to be underestimated.

Perhaps because their nemesis was eliminated, they became the dark horse. The chance to replace someone was something every qualified competitor would fiercely vie for.

But this time was different, everyone knew they had no chance of beating Tai Sui.

So the four of them discussed and decided to give the chance to Han Feng and Piscis Austrinus Feis, surrendering their own spots.

Han Feng approached Gao Xin with a smile he couldn’t suppress, "Big brother Tai Sui, please give me your guidance..."

No one expected that in the end, the two of them would still face off.

Gao Xin devoured a beast’s meat in a frenzy, hopped into the arena, and sat down to digest, "How do you want to lose?"

Everyone rolled their eyes, here he went again.

Luckily, Han Feng also knew it was just a formality and didn’t drag it out.

He tried to seal Gao Xin’s overclock, but was then defeated by Gao Xin’s non-overclock exoskeleton...

Gao Xin’s exoskeleton had become even stronger, obviously learning a lot from Yak. The initial burst coefficient had grown enormously.

Even without the weapons boost and his already terrifying awareness, Han Feng stood no chance without overclocking.

In the end, Gao Xin once again challenged Wei Miao, "Babe, how do you want to win?"

Gao Xin sat calmly at the center, his belly bloated, hand propping up his chin, eyes closed digesting.

Everyone was waiting for the moment he would become the Tiger King.

But Wei Miao, without a word, came at him with a ten-stage overclock coupled with a Moon’s Eye!

"Boom!"

Gao Xin raised his hand to counter, and then he was blasted to death on the spot...

The crowd barely reacted, until they saw the white light descend and save Gao Xin, leaving everyone in shocked silence.

"Ah?"

"What! Tai Sui got one-shot?"

"Did I see that wrong? Did he somehow swap bodies with Wei Miao in an instant? Is that woman actually Tai Sui?"

"No, he really lost; he’s been fixed up and gone back to eating meat..."

"No way, Tai Sui... Ahhh! You were just one win away from the championship."

"Damn it, Tai Sui couldn’t really think this was just a formality, right?"

"Han Feng and Piscis Austrinus Feis were just formalities, but Wei Miao was seriously trying to win."

"The Moon’s Eye is, so far, the highest single burst move in the whole championship, how could he face it head-on?"

"Match fixing is it? Rigging! This is absolutely rigging!"

The chat exploded in an instant, Tai Sui’s sudden defeat stunned them all.

No one imagined Tai Sui could lose. Just at the doorstep of victory, he was unexpectedly defeated without any warning signs.

This was some O. Henry-worthy twist that caught everyone off guard.

In that case... the round-robin had to continue.

Since no one had achieved a complete victory, the battles had to start over.

Han Feng’s mouth twitched, and Piscis Austrinus Feis’s face went wooden: What? They had to suffer another round?

Wei Miao, staring blankly at the sight of Gao Xin devouring meat, began her challenges anew.

Her strength, without a doubt, was second only to his.

She easily defeated both Han Feng and Piscis Austrinus Feis, and finally faced Gao Xin again.

This time Gao Xin did defeat Wei Miao, cutting off her streak of victories.

"That’s more like it, Tai Sui casually winning against Wei Miao."

"If you fought like this earlier, you would’ve won the championship. Quit messing around, Tai Sui; I’ve bet a lot on you."

"So the champion is still Tai Sui after all, that was just a fluke."

"Hurry up, we have to go another round."

The round-robin continued, with Han Feng challenging in turn.

He was trounced by the other two, with his only intense struggle against Piscis Austrinus Feis.

And in the end, Piscis Austrinus Feis, this dark horse, once again outdid himself, defeating Han Feng.

When it was Piscis Austrinus’s turn, he experienced the same pattern: getting thrashed in two battles, then losing to Han Feng, suffering three consecutive defeats.

This was enough to show that their strengths were on par, and in a single victory-deciding match, either could win.

Ultimately, it was Tai Sui’s turn, and he easily beat both, amid roars of applause in the arena.

However, the final challenge against Wei Miao ended unexpectedly once again.

Facing the Moon’s Eye, Gao Xin still chose to take it head-on!

He lashed out with a punch but completely failed to withstand the fearsome power of the Moon’s Eye and was blasted to death on the spot.

"Damn it! Lost again?"

"No, is this not match fixing? Losing to the same move twice!"

"He’s doing it on purpose!"

"On purpose? You’re saying he’s... controlling the game?"

"Damn, has he been playing redemption games too much?"

The audience went wild, the chat was even more heated than during the fight itself.

Some of the elite viewers got angry, spamming the chat with insults directed at Gao Xin’s face.

Others went straight to Saint Peter, questioning if this wasn’t passive gameplay?

The more discerning viewers had begun to realize something... something unprecedented.

That is, Tai Sui was controlling the game.

His strength was now so dominant that he could become the Tiger King at will, and if he chose not to, no one else could.

The rule was that the top four couldn’t be decided in one match; one must consecutively beat the other three during their turn.

As long as no Tiger King was declared, the top four had to keep clashing in rounds, a rule well known to all.

In the past, it never took too many rounds.

But now, they had Tai Sui, an anomaly, whom no one could defeat, which meant no one could become the Tiger King.

But by losing just once to Wei Miao, a whole new round of battles had to start.

If he wished, the battles could go on indefinitely!
