WHIT 248 - THE TRIGGER
The sloth grabbed Kira by the hair and lifted her up and smiled wickedly. As it was thinking on how to kill Kira, something struck its head so hard, its head moved forward, and it ended up kissing the whole face of Kira.Kira felt utterly revolted by that.The sloth tossed Kira aside, and touched the back of its head and groaned.“How did that feel?” Edgar’s right fist was shrouded with lightning. “No matter how tough you’re, hits to the head will still hurt.”Like he said, the sloth looked a little shaken as it felt the attack jolt its brain and whole body, but it didn’t look weakened like Kira had.In fact, the whites of its eyes began to turn red as excess blood flooded. “Wrraahh!” it roared. A throaty roar so loud, it made Fabby shut her ears. Edgar, however, was better able to bear it.“Here I come,” he turned into a blur and appeared at the seven o’clock of the beast and struck the beast at the kidney, mimicking what Kira had done a minute ago. “Heavy Cannon Bolt!” a tremendous
WHIT 249 - COURSING DRIVE
While getting whacked was embarrassing, Kira was fuming because the sloth had ended up kissing her whole face, leaving its dirty saliva and disgusting smell on her. Just for that reason, Kira wanted to break the sloth’s skull with her own strength. However, she wasn’t stupid. She joined the siblings and surrounded the sloth which looked bigger and madder than ever. She waited while the siblings rushed in together. Edgar’s left arm was compromised, and Fabby couldn’t use her attacks as freely as she wanted because her diaphragm still hurt. The more she exerted herself, the harder it proved to breathe. If it was another day, Kira would have just watched them die in the hands of a sloth, but today was different. If the siblings were to die, she would be forced to fight the beast alone, and she didn’t want that. After all, she knew very well that Jeff probably wouldn’t step in to save her even if the sloth was about to kill her. That was the risk participating in the fifth round carried
WHIT 250 - DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH
Fabby and Edgar waited outside the colosseum, where a cross-eyed female merchant came to them and freely gave them a healing pill after hearing that they passed the fifth round. “I’m Ana Flores. I’m not so famous, but if you prefer quality over quantity, you can always look for me.” She gave them a cross-eyed token and left on her large, wingless, carnivorous chicken-like beast which ran pretty fast while making little to no sound with its feet. The siblings kept staring at the pills, wondering whether they should consume them or not. “They are safe to eat,” Honso came to them with a faint smile on his face. “Such pills are generally quite costly. You are lucky to get them for free. By the way, you two passed.” “Yes!” Edgar got excited, but Fabby didn’t show much of a response. Soon, both of them consumed the pills. To their surprise, their wounds began healing at a visible pace. Edgar’s badly-wounded arm was also recovering fast. “These pills are quite effective,” Fabby was aston
WHIT 251 - SWEET RAIN
The fifth round wasn’t kind to every participant. More than 600 participated, but only about 500 of them even managed to enter a colosseum. Out of those only 238 people passed. Close to fifty people died during the battle with the villainous beasts.Every party from the major or notable sects somehow managed to either survive or win the round.All the winners were told to gather at the Setting Spring Pool, where pet animals of the Evergreat sect peacefully enjoyed time together at the mountain top as the sun set in the distance, creating a beautiful scenery that would be hard to take one’s eyes off from.Nevertheless, many people refused to bathe in the pool generally used by pets. The female disciples especially were grossed out by it.Dubril Zha had to persuade everyone to give it a chance. “I’ve gone to painstaking efforts to clean the pool and get it refilled with the Thousand-Year-Cloud Rain. So, I hope that you check its freshness yourself.” He took some of the pool’s water into
WHIT 252 - ROSE WATER
What awaited after a long bath at the Setting Spring Pool was the grand meal arranged by the White Tigers sect.From the four-eared fountain deer to the sky-leaping leopard, never before seen dishes by common men were made.Edgar and Fabby, as usual, loved and felt very much grateful for all the meals, but they were mostly eating the prawns. There was something about the prawn meat that the siblings loved so much they were competing with each other and even stole from each other’s plates.Tenzai laughed from seeing the siblings quarrel over the prawns.“Do you know them?” Azar asked Tenzai.“Yeah. A little bit. We fought with our backs to each other,” replied Tenzai, chewing on his favorite pork rib, which he very much liked because of its spiciness as well as the depth of flavor.“That’s not just a little bit,” Liam remarked and looked at the siblings. “They are fighting at the dining table, which isn’t funny. Back in my family…”“Everybody has their own eating style, Liam,” Azar int
WHIT 253 - INSANITY UNFOLDS
At dawn, the participants all gathered at the sky stadium that was built overnight. With over 40,000 square meters for the arena, and more than 400,000 seats for audiences, its sheer size was mind boggling to look at. Many of the 238 participants were all warming up their bodies as they were told that the sixth round would be one-on-one matches. Though it would take long to finish the round this way, the Red Roses Sect still chose this method, so there was nothing else the other sects could do but follow. As minutes passed, some of the participants were just sitting in their chairs and didn’t look healthy at all. Tenzai was also among them, and he was clutching his belly because his stomach had been upset since last night. He initially thought it was just him who had to do the runs since last night, but now, he realized that he wasn’t alone. Many others also had the same problem. After discussing with each other, it didn't take long for them to narrow down to the culprit. It was the
WHIT 254 - PERILOUS PLACE
Hellacious-red flames soared high and spread wide in the audience stands, seeking to devour everything in its path as Dina kept pouring energy into her flaming chains that still kept more than thirty people chained, with Exses stuck in the center.With this extremely aggressive approach, Dina made her aim and intention crystal clear. It was to melt the opponent down to the bone and beyond, until his ashes couldn’t be distinguished from those that would perish alongside him.Some of the disciples, whether they were still in the competition or not, took the effort to stop Dina’s flames from spreading further and causing more destruction. With their combined efforts, they restricted her flames into a confined space.“Hehe,” Dina grinned.“Damn,” Gossini, who wasn’t very far from Dina, realized something. “She predicted this would happen? Now that the fire is cramped because of the barriers others put, the flames will burn harder. Those people bound by her chains… won’t even be able to br
WHIT 255 - NOT HALF BAD
Edgar vs Pankaj.“A core disciple vs an outer disciple? This can’t even be called a fight.”“But the outer disciple is from one of the four great sects, and what about this Muddy Flower Sect? I’ve never heard of it before. Maybe the core disciple of that sect is no big deal?”“Only a dozen or so outer disciples managed to reach this round, so this fight could be interesting.”The merchants discussed among themselves.Joan Morales, the patriarch of the Muddy Flower sect, was smiling. “It’s just an outer disciple, but it’s still a good opportunity to gain some name. Thrash that outer disciple so hard that everyone will be left speechless, Pankaj.”Pankaj was the first to enter the new arena. With a flower hairstyle and with a peaceful look on his face, he managed to get a good first impression from many of the audience.Edgar, on the other hand, was still in his seat because Fabby tightly held his hand as if telling him to not go.“If things get dangerous, I’ll stop, Sis,” he assured.S
