Chapter 137: The Fish and the Bear Paw
“Very good! It was a very exciting battle. Unfortunately, you still lost.” The white-robed figure suddenly appeared again. He was still mysterious and his voice didn’t have the slightest emotional fluctuation, which made others unable to see through his depths. The white-robed person turned to Shi Hao and his voice seemed to change: “It’s your turn now. I think you should choose the battle of words. Haha! That’s right…”
Shi Hao didn’t raise an objection. It was obvious that he couldn’t use his items to crush that unknown youth. He had basically no chance of winning. Therefore, he naturally wouldn’t choose the battle of might. However, he also knew that the difficulty of the battle of words wouldn’t be any lower than that of the battle of might, which could be seen from the arrogant action of that white-robed person.
Shi Hao stepped forward, put Su Xiao at one side, pointed at the white-robed person and said: “Let’s start!”
“Good!” The white-robed person nodded his head. He seemed to recognize Blowing Wind Left A Passion, and naturally, also recognize Shake the Heaven. His figure repeatedly moved around the cliff for a long time and suddenly said: “The battle of words is very simple, you just need to make a choice. And after you made a choice, I will decide whether to give you the Light of Evolution or not.”
“Fish, I desire it, and I also desire bear paw; but you cannot get both of them. You have to give up one to get the other one. Hahahaha! You must have heard of this, right? Now, I’ll give you a difficult choice…”
The white-robed person looked at Shi Hao’s reaction with interest, but Shi Hao was still calm. So, he continued: “I am the master of this Heavenly Mountain. I know that you are here for Purification Spring’s Essence Water to save this woman hit by the Seal Arrow. But it’s just a very simple matter for me. Now, I will give you a choice! Listen carefully, if you want to awaken this beautiful woman, then you’ll gain a formidable enemy! You have seen the skill of that youth. To tell you the truth, his name is Yuwen Chengdu…”
Yuwen Chengdu! He was the legendary second-ranked master during Sui and Tang Dynasties Era. His strength was equally matched with Pei Yuanqing, and his character was also rather upright and unyielding. He would rather die than submit, was loyal, righteous and daring. Even though Emperor Yang of Sui was incomparably stupid, he still used his life to defend the last state of the Sui Dynasty.
In >, his skill was called Dragon Elephant Thirteen Strength.
[Skill Name: Dragon Elephant Thirteen Strength] [Skill Grade: historical NPC’s skill, no grade classification] [Skill Type: Active, 15 MP] [Weapon Restriction: Melee] [Current Rank and Mastery: Level 3, 410/2000] [Skill Effect: dispel and immune to all debuffs for 10 minutes, 45% ignore defense, and 15% chance of launching four hits combo]After the white-robed person explained Yuwen Chengdu’s skill, everyone present except for Pei Yuanqing was shocked. Such a terrifying skill was truly worthy of his legendary reputation as General Tianbao. Just a moment ago, his skill had dispelled Passionate Archer’s Sacrifice Arrow’s debuff. In addition, there were a 45% chance of ignoring defense and a 15% chance of four hits combo, which was simply a fatal skill.
Pei Yuanqing’s skill was more like a tank that defended and counterattack. Very powerful damage reduction (just happened to be equal to the ignore defense of Yuwen Chengdu), along with an extremely good critical-hit rate, Pei Yuanqing could make many people step back. As for Yuwen Chengdu, his skill was more like a killing machine that uses offense instead of defense. Four hits combo, as the terms suggested, it was able to launch four attacks at the same time, killing in all directions, moreover, there was ignore defense! His destructive power was absolutely amazing.
But if Pei Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu were to fight under the same conditions, then they had a 50-50 chance of victory. It was very possible that Pei Yuanqing might be able to kill Yuwen Chengdu with a critical hit, and it was also very possible that Yuwen Chengdu might trigger four hits combo and kill Pei Yuanqing.
However, if Shi Hao could have both Pei Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu on his side, then only a few people in the world could be his opponents.
Meanwhile, Pei Yuanqing and Yuwen Chengdu looked at each other, seemingly, they two were destined to fight, sooner or later.
The white-robed person said in time: “If you insist on choosing to save this woman, then Yuwen Chengdu will join the camp of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven! On the contrary, if you give up this woman, then Yuwen Chengdu will join your camp. How about it? You can’t have both fish and bear paw. Now, tell me your choice! A beauty or a state, which one do you want?”
Suddenly, Shi Hao was stunned on the spot. Yuwen Chengdu, if he let Heroic Overlord Under Heaven get a cheap advantage in vain, wouldn’t that be equivalent to creating a lot of troubles for himself? At present, among his subordinates, he was certain that Pei Yuanqing could fight against Yuwen Chengdu. Still, after getting Yuwen Chengdu, if Heroic Overlord Under Heaven didn’t come to look for trouble with Twin Dragons Village, then he would grab a piece of tofu and kill himself with it.
But Shi Hao absolutely couldn’t abandon Su Xiao. Su Xiao was his lifeblood.
Shi Hao took a glance at Heroic Overlord Under Heaven with an uncertain expression. Thinking about it, Heroic Overlord Under Heaven also didn’t know how he got into such a matter. But it obvious that Heroic Overlord Under Heaven hoped that Shi Hao would choose that woman. Although that woman (Wu Batian knew what Su Xiao’s character looked like) had a matchless appearance, and she could even be mentioned on equal terms with the legendary four great beauties, this, after all, was just a game. The appearance in the game was not the same as the real appearance. Even if her real appearance was so beautiful, so what? Should he give up such a terrifying killing machine just for a woman?
Heroic Overlord Under Heaven would never do that. If he was given such a choice, then he would definitely choose Yuwen Chengdu. Therefore, he was very worried that Blowing Wind Left A Passion would help Twin Dragons Village to get another general.
Fortunately, the worries of Heroic Overlord Under Heaven was in vain. In the next moment, he was filled with joy. This might be the happiest day in his life.
Shi Hao thought for a bit and said: “I’m reluctant to choose between fish and bear paw. However, if I must choose one today, then my answer is her! Without her, I’ll not have any reason to keep going. Besides, looking at General Yuwen’s strength, I also want to compete on the battlefield.”
Upon hearing this, Pei Yuanqing smiled confidentially, and his heroic spirit became stronger. His predestined opponent had already appeared, so his hot-blood was surging endlessly. Nothing was more exciting than this. All earth-shaking battles needed two geniuses with equal talent! Without Yuwen Chengdu, Pei Yuanqing’s existence would lack most of the meaning. And without Pei Yuanqing, Yuwen Chengdu also couldn’t shine even brighter. An opponent, a strong opponent, all strong powerhouses yearn for one.
“Good! Good! Good! Blowing Wind Left A Passion, what a good name! Sure enough, you are a passionate seed, I admire you.” Heroic Overlord Under Heaven applauded with great enthusiasm. He then walked to the front of Yuwen Chengdu and admired the new SS grade General under him. Now, he was already thinking of equipping Yuwen Chengdu with dazzling equipment to reflect his dignified air after returning. One must not not have dignified air when conducting oneself. Heroic Overlord Under Heaven knew this very well.
