Chapter 406: Accelerated Growth, Titan Body
Tai Sui wanted the competition to be more rewarding and to last longer.
He decided to spread the opportunity to obtain Taixui Blood across all the matches.
He directly placed a branch containing dozens of droplets of Taixui Blood in the arena.
Let the winner take it themselves.
This made the battles more intense, and since it was a pure contest of body combat and biological field, it was more difficult to completely defeat the opponent.
Of course, Gao Xin didn't say what would happen if someone broke the rules.
He deliberately didn't mention it, just to see if anyone with ill intentions would act.
Gao Xin didn't expect these people to be saints, but those who dared to break the rules he set were clearly trampling on order habitually.
Such people do not deserve this opportunity.
If anyone obtained the Taixui Blood without following the rules, Gao Xin would directly make it ineffective.
This is why he left a branch and did not directly take down the Taixui Blood Crystal.
Thus, Gao Xin could issue a command remotely to let the branch retract the Life Essence, leaving only ordinary blood crystals.
Because the so-called Taixui Blood is essentially a resin liquid, which is that Life Essence, not his blood.
Without a doubt, when this rule was introduced.
The 'Taixui Rule' suddenly almost overshadowed the original rules of the Elephant King Conference.
Who cares about the Elephant King anymore? I just want the Taixui Blood!
If I can match up with Tai Sui himself, even better, there's a chance to acquire the Legendary Battle Technique.
"I choose Black Pearl!"
The representative of the Lion King pointed directly and chose a woman.
Of course, no one thought he was picking an easy target because Black Pearl was a Hidden Dragon and an outstanding one, not a weak opponent.
Black Pearl's expression darkened: "You're courting death."
Lion King arrogantly said, "I've fought many from your Marseille family."
"Let me see how much you've learned."
He was smart, choosing a strong but familiar opponent.
Lion King descendants are all trained in the same pattern, and he had encountered many on the battlefield, so he was most confident against Black Pearl.
Comparatively, information on Lester and Mandala was hearsay; he hadn't truly fought them.
Who knows what the real outcome would be? What if they countered him?
"Kill!"
Black Pearl, filled with rage, instantly summoned a spear and charged in anger.
She started with a move, Super Heavy Stone·Star Shattering, to blast the Lion King.
The Lion King laughed, indeed the same old move.
He was very familiar with it, even knowing the opponent would follow up with a spear throw.
Sure enough, Black Pearl threw an energy spear to block the Lion King's escape angles.
For a moment, the two types of attacks came simultaneously, incredibly terrifying.
But the Lion King was undaunted, instantly overclocking to eight segments, directly using his shield to withstand the spear.
With a bang, the shield was violently thrown away.
Yet behind it, the Lion King's figure was nowhere to be seen.
He had used the cover to fly into the air, changing his position, his man and shield disconnected, now like a lion pouncing from above.
"Boom!"
Black Pearl reacted, they clashed hard, both getting shaken apart.
The Lion King was injured, while Black Pearl's substitute was vibrating violently, almost falling apart.
The substitute's durability wasn't high, not as good as her real body.
Once it broke down, Black Pearl would return to the Thought Palace, counting as her loss.
The Lion King noticed this, his eyes lit up, and he was determined to clash head-on with Black Pearl.
Soon he gained the upper hand, winning a burst of cheers from the crowd.
"Impressive! The Lion King is still fierce."
"This battle cemented his position as Quasi-Elephant King when he beat the Hidden Dragon of Lion Hunting Valley on the battlefield."
"Now it seems, he's really skilled against the Lion King Family."
"Why else would they call him the Lion King? Hahaha."
The atmosphere was lively, and the combat between the player and another player's substitute turned into an extremely fierce and exciting duel.
At the Elephant King Conference, when could you see War Dragon Level? Dragon Level couldn't even participate.
However, with Tai Sui's presence, they saw it.
At this moment, Tai Sui was no longer just a contestant, he was more like the organizer.
It had become a Dragon and Elephant Tournament directly.
As time ticked away, Gao Xin continued to transform and grow.
He first digested a lot of Radiation Beast Meat, making his body cells extremely saturated, and then began to expand his form.
So, as they fought, after spending hours, by the time the Lion King finally shattered Black Pearl and looked over.
He found that Tai Sui had grown significantly taller, like a towering treeman.
He had to look up completely to see Tai Sui's head.
"Continue, I will pass the combat skill to you in the rest area after the end." Gao Xin's voice rang out.
The Lion King nodded heavily, already securing a baseline gain, deciding to challenge Vine Arhat again.
Yes, he picked another Hidden Dragon.
"He's going all out, challenging another Hidden Dragon!"
"Without resupply during the fight, he's already consumed a lot; it would've been better to pick another Quasi-Elephant King to reduce the consumption."
Others couldn't understand why the Lion King kept targeting Hidden Dragons.
But the result told everyone that Hidden Dragons seemed actually easier to win against.
In just three hours, he shattered Vine Arhat again!
"Whoa, impressive."
"Defeating Hidden Dragons continuously, is he the top Quasi-Elephant King now?"
"But he's too weak now, next, he should choose Lester, his chances of winning against Lester are the highest."
People were discussing, yet saw the Lion King choose Santos again.
Directly challenging the third Hidden Dragon.
This amazed everyone, and even more surprisingly, though the Lion King was weakened, he fought with confidence, this time defeating Vine Arhat in just one hour!
Many people were puzzled and started to discuss.
Until Caesar on the observation platform said, "What kind of weaklings are these? Just because their physical endurance dropped to the Elephant Level, they get crushed like this?"
He laughed disdainfully, pointing out the key.
In an instant, countless people were enlightened, realizing the truth.
Those three Hidden Dragon substitutes, although their output and abilities remained at their lifetimes' level, their physical endurance was not.
So, in this duel, all substitutes shared a common weakness, which was their endurance for physical clashes was only at True Elephant Level, about the same strength as Gao Xin's actual body.
As fragile as a Quasi-Elephant King.
In other words, any attack strong enough to defeat a Quasi-Elephant King, once it hits, theoretically all of Tai Sui's avatars can be shattered.
The 'health' is the same as theirs.
Of course, calling it a weakness isn't quite right, since isn't Leo also a Quasi-Elephant King? It's the same strength.
This completely aligns with the long-standing fantasy that 'if my body were as hard, I could explode you' that the Quasi-Elephant King used to say.
Now, it is not a fantasy... it's a fact.
Gao Xin used his avatars and deceased's consciousness to verify this point.
With the same health, Leo cut down three Hidden Dragons in a row, with more to spare!
"Hmph, so that's all Hidden Dragons are!"
Leo's eyes were sharp, his presence overwhelming.
Gao Xin smiled, threw him a piece of Taixui Blood, which he immediately consumed.
"Want to continue?"
"Fight!" Leo didn't want to surrender voluntarily.
However, there were only Shelly and Yamaguchi Shinko left among the Hidden Dragons.
Shelly surely wouldn't challenge, and Yamaguchi Shinko was a top-tier Hidden Dragon.
After some thought, he chose to fight Lester first.
Having beaten three in a row already claimed all the rewards, defeating four wouldn't grant extra rewards, and as for defeating all avatars, Tai Sui withdrew.
So next, he was in pursuit of honor and breakthroughs, wanting to fight with spirit and leave a record for those behind!
"Boom!"
Another three hours, and he was defeated.
Defeated by Lester.
To be precise, Leo was tortured to a breakthrough, losing his qualification.
"Damn, that's disgusting, Lester."
"So dogged, didn't let the opponent hit once, shot all the way, dragged Leo to death."
"Such a miserable Leo, got caught and worn down through continuous weak battles until breaking down."
"He didn't lose much either, he broke through in despair."
Seeing this result, everyone was surprised but also understood.
Although Lester is a very average Quasi-Elephant King, he is still a Quasi-Elephant King, definitely not weak.
In reality, in terms of various consciousness and ultimate skills, they are stronger than Hidden Dragons.
Leo in full glory could beat him, but in a weakened state, the Quasi-Elephant King would give him despair.
"Should have challenged Lester from the start; once weak, it was no good, he's too stable, giving no chance at all."
"Challenging from the start wouldn't work either, would consume too much, even if won, half-crippled, couldn't fight anyone posteriorly."
"Actually it's not just Lester, other Quasi-Elephant Kings would be even trickier."
Everyone discussed, discovering that among Tai Sui's avatars, the weakest Quasi-Elephant Kings were actually each a tumor!
Must not challenge, even winning would be troublesome, too tricky.
Full health challenges become crippled after, crippled challenges are fundamentally unwinnable.
In comparison, Hidden Dragons are easier to win against, their experience and consciousness are not as good, prone to mistakes.
"Got it! Just target Hidden Dragons!"
"Hidden Dragons are the soft targets!"
Everyone was excited, having found the strategy.
And Gao Xin fought for ten hours in a single match, also delighted.
His weight reached nearly five thousand tons.
And crucially, others' matches also became prolonged.
By the end of the second round, after determining the top thirty-two, a whole day had passed.
Determining the top sixteen took another day, during which he himself fought for ten hours.
And from this round onwards, all losers transformed into dragons!
The reason is simple; they were the victors of the previous round.
This round, though lost, had already consumed Taixui Blood, and the following round led to fight to the death, even if lost, they broke through.
The ones who won, instead, didn't face enough pressure.
At this point, breakthroughs and transformations kept appearing, resulting in twelve new Dragon Levels.
Plus, Leo and Red Heart 9's breakthroughs from Gao Xin's fights earlier, the tournament yielded fourteen newborn Hidden Dragons.
They were overjoyed, now all gathered around Gao Xin, expressing their excitement.
Until the top eight emerged, three days had passed.
All losers were around Gao Xin, while Gao Xin became exceptionally giant and majestic, like a Giant God Titan.
Gao Xin's weight reached five hundred and five hundred thousand tons, over three hundred meters tall.
This Dharma Body had reached the level of people like the Blue Whale initially.
"Isn't Tai Sui's growth speed terrifying?"
"Isn't such a gigantic Dharma Body against the rules?"
"It's temporary weight increase, which is allowed, otherwise how could unlimited food be supplied?"
"Yes, the key is in your growth speed."
"It's fortunate the SSRs were eliminated early, otherwise people like Haley would have become giants too."
"Look at Yak, his weight also reached a thousand tons."
"A thousand tons is nothing, Tai Sui is like a small mountain, how do you fight that?"
"It's customary to grow during the Tournament, but nobody has grown so swiftly before."
These three days, Gao Xin was observed by everyone, from initially one hundred tons, step by step expanding to five million tons, a terrifying Titan body.
In three days! In the same time, the prodigy Yak only grew to a thousand tons.
Yak was already growing as if cheating, Gao Xin was even more like a cheat plug-in.
"Rumble!"
Gao Xin was entrenched outside the venue, covering the sky, manipulating clouds.
Space battleships continuously delivered Radiation Beast Meat to the site, and Gao Xin was pouring hundreds of tons into his mouth.
The lower body was further rooted like an old tree, absorbing directly into the meat. Dual approach, resembling a giant abyssal mouth.
They said unlimited supply, and it was truly unlimited supply.
To this, a crowd of Angel Envoys remained expressionless, watching the spectacle.
It was the bullet comments that were anxious... occasionally demands emerged to ban Tai Sui from consuming this way.
The reason was simple, because the cost of the Elephant King Conference was on their tab...
Of course, they were numerous and wealthy, so it was fine, but some clearly didn't want Tai Sui to develop on their money, naturally displeased to the extreme.
But rules are rules, Saint Peter didn't care, and they had no choice.
Considering, the Dragon King Conference expenses were greater, Gao Xin's consumption this time wasn't much, just growing too fast.
This terrifying efficiency, terrifying human production capacity, watching it made one's scalp numb!
