Absolute Choice Chapter 543

s.h.i.+ Xiaobai had turned green.

It was not an illusion but a strange matter that truly happened in front of their eyes.

They saw the exposed fair yellowish skin outside his clothes suddenly turn green!

"Superpower?"

Eventide Great Wolf was confounded. He could only explain the strange matter with 'superpower'. He could not help but frown.

Presently, the superpower system was divided into four systems—combat system, defense system, support system and miscellaneous system. More than 90% of Espers had miscellaneous system superpowers that could not be used in battle. About 9% had defense or support systems, with only less than 1% having superpowers that were part of the combat system.

Four of the Seven Wolfskins were Espers but they only had miscellaneous system superpowers that could only be used for day-to-day ch.o.r.es. For example, Eventide Great Wolf's superpower 'Water Purification' was a superpower that could purify any pollution in water. Its best usage was only to purify toxins in toxic sludge, making it completely useless in battle.

It was not strange that the four Espers of the Seven Wolfskins had miscellaneous system superpowers. After all, more than 99% of Espers had non-combat system superpowers.

But now, s.h.i.+ Xiaobai had suddenly turned green. This phenomenon could pretty much only be explained with the word 'superpower'. And for him to use it now, didn't it mean that his 'superpower' was very likely a combat system superpower?

Eventide Great Wolf was acutely aware of how much combat system superpowers augmented a Psionite. It was even the case that a large number of combat system Espers focused mainly on their superpowers and supplemented with psionic abilities. For example, one of the top experts in the world, Thunder Emperor Zhang Qi had cultivated his S-cla.s.s superpower, 'Divine Electrical Exoskeleton', to the extremes.

If s.h.i.+ Xiaobai had a combat system superpower hidden up his sleeve…

Eventide Great Wolf felt bitter. He only felt that the boy was the chosen child of the heavens and that he was the son of G.o.d.

But in fact, s.h.i.+ Xiaobai was indeed hiding an S-cla.s.s superpower but he had not used it. Turning green was obviously not a superpower but a bloodline ability he had obtained from the Transcendence bloodline—Transcendental Nine Transformations.

s.h.i.+ Xiaobai was using the 'Transcendental First Transformation'!

s.h.i.+ Xiaobai did not plan on using it because the Transcendental Nine Transformations could very likely expose his Transcendence bloodline. Furthermore, the usage of the Transcendental Nine Transformations would constantly drain him of his psionic power while in his transformed state.

Using an a.n.a.logy, if psionic power was thought of as the MP or energy bar in games, then using the Transcendental Nine Transformations would require him to drain MP or energy to maintain his transformed state every second.

Furthermore, the amount of psionic power drained with every level of transformation would increase exponentially. With s.h.i.+ Xiaobai's psionic power reserves, he could only maintain the Transcendental First Transformation for less than ten minutes. If he were to use the Transcendental Third Transformation, he would be drained of his psionic power in less than a minute.

Just as Eventide Great Wolf and company were racking their brains to think of ways to drain s.h.i.+ Xiaobai of his psionic power, s.h.i.+ Xiaobai had not only ignored the thought of conserving his psionic power, he had instead taken the initiative to use the Transcendental First Transformation that drained it.

This was obviously not him losing his mind but because he had realized that he could not let the matter drag on. He had to break the impa.s.se.

Therefore, he wanted to go for broke and finish the battle in one fell swoop!

As he experienced the surging strength in his body, s.h.i.+ Xiaobai exhaled a long breath. He tauted his calves and suddenly kicked off from the ground forcefully and charged straight at Eventide Great Wolf!

"He's coming!"

Eventide Great Wolf shouted in alarm as Eventide Second and Third Wolf hurriedly propped up their defense. They did not wish to beat down s.h.i.+ Xiaobai in a head-on attack but only wished to restrain him and drag it out!

As s.h.i.+ Xiaobai ran forward, he struck out with his palm. It was surprisingly a head-on clash with the explosive Proud Dragon Repents.

Eventide Great Wolf turned delighted as he conjured Psionic s.h.i.+eld to withstand it.

s.h.i.+ Xiaobai shattered the psionic s.h.i.+eld with his strike, forcing Eventide Great Wolf to take a few steps back. However, he remained unharmed at all.

At the same time, Eventide Second Wolf's Wind Spear and Eventide Third Wolf's Lightning Tribulation Saber came in reinforcement. They attacked s.h.i.+ Xiaobai from different sides.

s.h.i.+ Xiaobai raised his palms high into the sky as he exhaled and struck one palm to the left and another to the right. He had used 'The Dragon Fights in the Wilderness' to face the duo's pincer attack.

This scene was identical to the previous one. Eventide Second and Third Wolf were once again sent retreating. They did not turn vexed but only hurriedly retreated and had no intentions to embroil themselves in battle.

But this time, s.h.i.+ Xiaobai had no intention of giving up. Although the two strikes had failed to accomplish much, he had scattered the trio's battle formation. That was his plan.

Time was needed to reestablish the formation that allowed them to reinforce each other. This short fleeting period of time was the only chance for him to make a breakthrough!

s.h.i.+ Xiaobai abruptly took a step forward and closed the distance with Proximity Chasm. He rushed in front of Eventide Third Wolf and fiercely struck at his chest. This strike's name was 'A Sudden Advent'. It was fast, fierce, and aggressive like fire!

Eventide Third Wolf failed to dodge in time and could only brandish Lightning Tribulation Saber in the hopes of withstanding the palm strike. Eventide Second Wolf and Eventide Great Wolf immediately turned and came aiding him the moment they saw the scene unfold.

s.h.i.+ Xiaobai's direct attack with his right palm was actually only a feint. Just as his palm reached midway, it suddenly changed directions and suddenly moved upwards, turning to strike Eventide Third Wolf's throat. At the same time, his left arm moved straight for Eventide Third Wolf's abdomen like a bat.

Eventide Third Wolf was given a shock but he did not lose his calm. He forcefully retracted Lightning Tribulation Saber to hold it in front of his neck before clawing at s.h.i.+ Xiaobai's left arm with his left hand!

Eventide Third Wolf's timely reaction could be described as perfection. However, as the saying goes, despite the laws being strong, the outlaws were ten times stronger. After s.h.i.+ Xiaobai's feint was another feint!

The boy's slap at his throat and strike at his abdomen were still fake moves. Suddenly he raised his foot and with a turn of his body to the side, he kicked at Eventide Third Wolf's lower body. That was the real attack!

Treading on Ice, an onslaught without exceptions!

Eventide Third Wolf failed to defend against the third move after defending against the first two moves. After being kicked in his lower abdomen, he lost his center of balance and could not help but fall to the ground. Instantly, he left his weaknesses exposed like he was inviting an attack!

s.h.i.+ Xiaobai had been waiting for that opportunity. He moved both hands up and like an overlord raising a cauldron, he pushed his palm forward like a giant shoving a mountain!

Proud Dragon Repents came striking at Eventide Third Wolf's chest!

Eventide Third Wolf no longer had the strength to block it!

Furthermore, this exchange of blows happened in a split second. Eventide Great Wolf and Eventide Second Wolf had failed to rush there in time to support.

Swis.h.!.+

At that moment, a black needle arrow suddenly shot through the night, straight at s.h.i.+ Xiaobai's throat!

At the same time, a figure that had hidden in the darkness of the night suddenly appeared behind s.h.i.+ Xiaobai. A sharp dagger came thrusting from top to bottom as it headed for s.h.i.+ Xiaobai's back!

At the critical moment, Eventide Sixth Wolf's cold arrow and Eventide Fourth Wolf's back stab simultaneously came in aid!

However, s.h.i.+ Xiaobai completely ignored the threat of the two lethal strikes. With a roar, he struck out with Proud Dragon Repents!

Boom!

Boom!

However, this strike was no longer the same 'Proud Dragon Repents' as before. After using the Transcendental First Transformation, his strength had greatly been enhanced. As Eventide Third Wolf failed to find his balance, he had no way to withstand the strike. His Psionic s.h.i.+eld instantly shattered and he was struck straight in the chest. His body flew out and broke through the courtyard's surrounding wall. His eyes rolled back and with that, he fainted just like Eventide Seven Wolf.

Eventide Third Wolf was unable to continue fighting. The balance had been broken!
