Absolute Choice 5

The demonic beasts that were pushed down struggled desperately as they let out shrill but strange yelps. The demonic beast with bloodshot eyes was leaning over the other demonic beast as it roared. Then...its body began grinding!
One after another, the demonic beasts that had licked the wine on the ground began pushing down demonic beasts beside them while their eyes were bloodshot. They ignored the struggles of the demonic beast that they had pushed down, and began grinding their bodies.
As a result, there were pairs of entangled demonic beasts on the plains with one above the other. With bloodshot eyes, the demonic beast on top would begin moving in a rhythmic fashion, as strange cries of pain or enjoyment resounded through the sky.
That scene blinded the eyes of everyone.
"Have we succeeded?" a girl covered her eyes and asked shyly.
"We've succeeded!"
A youth took a look and looked away.
Shi Xiaobai's plan had succeeded. They had used the Wine of Immortality to make specially crafted cannonballs. Using the theory of the Tree of Life being able to attract the demonic beasts, it resulted in the demonic beasts to lick the Wine of Immortality that splashed to the ground.
They had added "Powerful Aphrodisiac (Beast)", which cost 500 Tower Defense Points, into the Wine of Immortality to cause the demonic beasts to be in heat!
"Fuck, this plan actually worked! My eyes are going blind."
"This aphrodisiac is so powerful? It's like this group of demonic beasts has gone mad."
"Demonic beasts that are in heat are terrifying."
"I'm kowtowing to Tu Dahei for such a plan!"
"How lewd. Is Tu Dahei a Lewd King?"
"..."
The rookies voiced out their mixed emotions, but there was a look of excitement on their faces. At this moment, more than half the demonic beasts were doing unspeakable aerobics while in heat.
The few demonic beasts that had charged at the high platform also lost their lives with the slaying of Shi Xiaobai's sword of light. At this moment, there were few demonic beasts that were free to move!
It could be said that the defense of the numerous demonic beasts suddenly revealed a gigantic flaw!
"Now!"
Finally, when the last demonic beast that attacked the Psionic Domain was killed, the short-haired teenager shouted.
In fact, just as the short-haired teenager opened his mouth, Shi Xiaobai had already shot forward like a cheetah on its hunt. His speed confounded everyone.
The rookies turned their heads as they looked at the charging figure with a strong sense of hope in their eyes.
From this moment, whether they would succeed in conquering the Demon City to obtain the final victory was all on Tu Dahei's shoulders!
Although the aphrodisiac cannonballs had reduced more than half the demonic beasts, there were still vast numbers of demonic beasts on the plains. Furthermore, the eight white defensive towers still stood erect. Trying to dart through all these obstacles alone was extremely difficult and dangerous. Every rookie knew this in their hearts.
However, this was Tu Dahei's plan. He was the one who took the initiative to shoulder this responsibility. This was the reason why he made them feel an inexplicable sense of respect for him!
"Tu Dahei, go!"
"Tu Dahei, all the best!"
"Go for it!"
"Tu Dahei, we are relying on you!"
"Whether you succeed or not, I'll look up to you for the rest of my life!"
"You have to succeed!"
"..."
The rookies yelled out in high spirits. They became nervous as they stared intently at the figure that was crazily charging forward!
Shi Xiaobai darted past the demonic beasts that were still going at it again and again. The demonic beasts in heat ignored him, while the demonic beasts that were trapped beneath did not have the ability to do a thing. Very soon, those demonic beasts that had escaped the unexpected calamity discovered Shi Xiaobai in their confusion. It was as if they found their calling in life and began rushing at Shi Xiaobai!
Shi Xiaobai remained expressionless as his mind was extremely calm. He did not slow down at all. The blinding scene around him did not affect him in any way, while the ferocious demonic beasts that came for him did not waver his resolve.
The rookies gaped as they came to the edge of the platform. They stared at the figure that was racing through the plains!
Tu Dahei!
Tu Dahei used his nimble footwork to dodge four black-striped tigers' jaws!
Tu Dahei with a deft turn of his body avoided the pincer attack of treant warriors!
Tu Dahei used his Crab Illusions to deceive ten single-horned eagles.
Tu Dahei's double mirage teased the clawed druids left and right!
Tu Dahei darted through the wall formed by the raging orcs and killed three on the way!
Tu Dahei clashed head on with the bone dragon, but suddenly he conjured a psionic knife and immediately reduced the bone dragon to a heap of bones!
No, Tu Dahei was being surrounded by three silver-scaled anacondas!
Ah, Tu Dahei's dazzling figures caused the three silver-scaled anacondas to bite each other's tails!
Tu Dahei was still proceeding forward!
Tu Dahei did not stop even once!
Tu Dahei traversed the vast plains at an extremely fast speed as he began to approach the zone where the Demonic Tree was!
Tu Dahei!
Tu Dahei, all the best!
The rookies had their hearts in their mouths as they screamed with all their might, "Tu Dahei, all the best!"
The eight white cold towers each had a white ball. Inside the white ball was a tiny black ball that made them look like a gigantic eyeball!
The eight gigantic tower eyeballs turned to look at Shi Xiaobai!
Eight beams of light shot out from the eyes at the moment Shi Xiaobai darted past all the demonic beasts!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! ..."
Eight deafening explosions sounded and amidst them were the screams of the demonic beasts. A mushroom cloud of smoke rose up as the entire area was covered by explosions!
"Tu Dahei!”
Everyone exclaimed. The explosive zone was too large. There was no way to dodge!
Suddenly, a keen-eyed rookie shouted, "Look, over there!"
They saw a figure amid the smoke charging forward, dispersing the smoke in front of it, as though clouds were being brushed aside. Tu Dahei was still charging forward!
Eight beams of light shot out from the eyeballs situated above the white towers once again. This time, the beams did not result in explosions. Instead, each of the eight beams was a continuous beam that left ravines in the ground wherever it swept past!
The eight beams of light fired quickly without any pattern. It nearly blanketed every path in front of Tu Dahei!
"How can he pass through that?" a girl said anxiously.
Everyone frowned. With the eight beams of light sweeping back and forth, they formed a light curtain that almost did not have any gaps in them. The light curtain contained terrifying power. Even the ground was left with deep ravines, so how could one pass through the light curtain?
Shi Xiaobai's eyes remained calm. Instead of slowing down, he accelerated!
The light curtain had almost no gaps!
But it was only almost!
Since there existed a gap, as long as one was fast enough, one could pass through it by seizing the correct moment!
As long as he was faster, faster and even faster!
Shi Xiaobai's eyes burst out with a dazzling radiance. The eight beams of light that were sweeping back and forth suddenly appeared to slow down!
He saw a gap that was about to disappear in a flash!
Accelerate, accelerate, and more acceleration!
Shi Xiaobai's speed broke through his limits at that instant!
At the next moment, Shi Xiaobai clashed with the gigantic light curtain that stood in his path!
&nbs
p; As the light flashed, everyone held their breaths as they saw a black figure on the other end of the light curtain. The black figure leaped high into the sky. Raising his word, he jumped towards the black Demonic Tree!
"He passed through it!"
"Holy shit, he really passed through!"
"Just a bit more!"
"Go on, Tu Dahei!"
"..."
Shi Xiaobai had leaped into mid air with the pure white sword lifted high into the sky. Suddenly a magnolia-colored beam of light contracted and expanded like a heart. It was like a divine heartbeat!
"Two!"
Shi Xiaobai slashed a diagonal slash towards the right!
"Peng Grills!"
Shi Xiaobai slashed a diagonal slash towards the left!
A gigantic magnolia-colored crossbeam of light surged straight at the gigantic Demonic Tree that had drooping black vines!
"Boom!"
A white flame shot up into the sky as the inferno lit up the entire dark sky!
The Demonic Tree issued out a shrill scream!
The white flames burned as a layer of creamy white emanated above the Demonic Tree. It was as though it had frozen as the screaming came to a halt!
The eyeballs on the eight white towers turned a crimson red as they shot out blackish-red beams of light in every direction as a series of explosions happened!
The demonic beasts stopped their actions and lay prostrate to the ground. They wailed, growled, cried or roared...as though it was the apocalypse.
At that moment, the authoritative voice boomed in the minds of all the rookies in the Demon City.
"Demon City #1 has been destroyed. All the trial-takers in City #1 will be transported to the third level after ten seconds!"

Chapter240 City Destroyer Hero
"Demon City #1 has been destroyed. All the trial-takers in City #1 will be transported to the third level after ten seconds!"
This sentence sounded in the minds of all the rookies in City #1. Everyone was overjoyed and astonished.
They had really succeeded?
They had really succeeded!
The Demonic Tree seemed frozen as its body was covered in a layer of white frost. The eight defense towers that were shooting beams of light came to a sudden halt. As the bloodshot eyes slowly closed, the demonic beasts prostrating on the ground collapsed to the ground subsequently. It was unknown if they were entering hibernation or if they were dying.
And at that instant, a black-haired youth stood amidst the desolate scene. He stood in front of the Demonic Tree with a pure white Holy Radiance in hand, as though he was a god that had descended to the mortal world.
He had traversed the sea of demonic beasts and dodged numerous attacks, evading the eight beams of light and killed the Demonic Tree in one strike! He had destroyed an entire Demon City almost with his strength alone!
"This is the City Destroyer Villain?"
A rookie that had recently come from Nightmare Terror Island was lost in a trance. The moment he came, he was informed of the "City Destroyer Villain". Back then, he had scoffed at them, thinking that they were exaggerating.
However, now with him seeing this scene, he understood that reality was a hundred times more terrifying than the rumors. A sea of demonic beasts and eight defensive towers that shot beams of light had failed to prevent him from forging ahead. They did not even slow him down. He sped up again and again, and seemed to stab the Demon City in its heart. He had also stabbed ruthlessly into the hearts of everyone. The shock they received was something beyond words.
"This is the City Destroyer Villain!"
A rookie who had his city destroyed by Shi Xiaobai said with a relieved tone. He was even feeling proud. This City Destroyer Villain had once destroyed his city and he had not led them to destroy the Demon City. He had directly led them towards victory.
"No, he's a hero! City Destroyer Hero!"
A girl's eyes were filled with splendor and reverence. To be able to destroy the Demon City alone. That was truly one of the brave, a true hero. Tu Dahei was just too cool!
"Yes, City Destroyer Hero!"
Slowly, people began shouting 'City Destroyer Hero'. And moments later, nearly everyone was yelling the three words at the top of their lungs, with the yelling growing in intensity.
"City Destroyer Hero! City Destroyer Hero! City Destroyer Hero! ..."
In the final ten seconds, the rookies erupted into a roaring cheer.
...
...
Shanghai City, Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, Main Auditorium
The gigantic stone monument was covered with dense text. The text was the data the assessment program displayed to the external world.
At this moment, the information was constantly changing. However, there was a portion of information that appeared like a pool of stagnant water.
Many people in the auditorium had extremely ugly expressions.
"This batch of rookies is too disappointing," a middle-aged man said with a sigh.
"That's right. How long has it been, yet the number of people who have reached the third level is less than a hundred," a teenager said.
"This is the batch of rookies with the worst quality I have ever seen. Thankfully, the competition between the two factions only requires ten people. If not, the organization faction would probably suffer an abject defeat." An elder shook his head with a sigh.
Most of the people in the auditorium had such thoughts. The speed at which the rookies went from the first level to the second level was considered normal, but the speed at which they went from the second to the third level was surprisingly slow. This made people begin to suspect the quality of the current batch of rookies. After all, those who could partake in the trials were the best rookies in their respective organizations.
The quiet atmosphere felt somewhat repressive.
Suddenly, someone exclaimed.
"Holy shit, are my eyes tricking me?"
Everyone turned in surprise at that person as another person exclaimed loudly.
"Heavens, four hundred people in an instant?"
"Look at the data. Was there a bug?"
Everyone frowned and turned to look at the stone monument. Their eyes nearly popped out. The text on the stone monument was split into three parts by two red lines. The top indicated the trial-takers at the third level. There were less than a hundred people at the beginning, but at that moment, there were nearly five hundred people!
There were four hundred people sent to the third level in an instant? This was completely unheard of. It was preposterous!
However, having seen this scene with their own eyes, they could only watch in astonishment.
"Is this a bug?"
"What a joke. Have you ever seen the assessment program have a bug?"
The assessment program is produced by a highly-advanced civilization. Even if there are bugs, it would be some trivial bugs. It's impossible for such an exaggerated bug to exist."
"There must be a reason behind this matter. The speed at which the rookies went from the second to third level was suddenly inexplicably slow. From the looks of it, there must be a reason."
"Five hundred people have reached the third level. This is an extremely rare occurrence. Typically, having three hundred people reach the third level is already a pretty good result. Could the quality of this batch of rookies exceed our expectations?"
"Something unexpected must have happened. We can only wait and ask them after they come out."
"For four hundred people to simultaneously pass the second level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower... I have a feeling that this will become quite a hot piece of news. After all, the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower is infamous for its 'cutthroat competition'!"
"Hey, didn't you see those reporters running out to make phone calls? If this matter was not a bug and had happened for
a reason, it would definitely make the front page of all major newspapers tomorrow."
"..."
Everyone broke out into a flurry of discussions. Compared to the silent and lifeless situation from before, it was as if they were two different worlds.
...
...
Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, medical ward
Every time the trials happened, there would be a number of trial-takers among the thousand who would be forever left behind in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental World. Most of the others would be able to safely escape using the exit command.
However, after escaping, there would be a number of people covered in injuries. There were even a few who failed to use the exit command in time, resulting in untreatable trauma.
For example, the adonis who had just received treatment. He was lying in bed with an ashen expression. His right arm from the elbow had been ripped off, so there was no way to recover it. Having lost his right arm, he was now an amputee. He could already see the darkness in the path ahead of him. His beautiful future had come to an end.
Other than regret, the adonis felt mostly hatred. From his point of view, if Tu Dahei had chosen to save him, he would not have lost his arm. It had nothing to do with him not using the exit command in time, but Tu Dahei's fault.
It was Tu Dahei that harmed him!
There were anxious footsteps that came from outside the door. The adonis turned his head stiffly and saw the middle-aged man and woman from Zeus that had led the delegation.
The middle-aged man and woman were clearly here to inquire. The moment they entered the room, they saw the adonis's pale face and the empty spot on his right sleeve.
"What happened?" The middle-aged man frowned as he walked towards the side of the bed.
"I exhorted all of you many a time to use the exit command in a timely fashion. You, sigh!" The middle-aged woman had an exasperated expression.
The adonis gaped. Although he had not interacted much with the middle-aged man and woman, it could even be considered as them barely knowing each other by participating in the selection.
They came from the same organization after all, but the first thing they said was not words of concern, but to question him and blame him?
