Xia Ci sighed, "It seems like games aren't working either."
Xia Zhi thought for a moment and then said, "I actually have another idea."
The shadow and the general looked at him and asked, "What method?"
Xia Zhi said, "It's a special method to test the strength of willpower. Your battle to the end was actually a contest of willpower, so I think this method is the most suitable for you."
Shadow asked, "How do we do it?"
Xia Zhi said, "This method needs to be used in a quiet environment. You two come with me."
Ying and the general followed Xia Zhi into a small room next door.
"Sit down first."
"Um……"
"The method I'm going to use requires a special tool."
As Xia Zhi spoke, he took out a compass that resembled a pocket watch.
[Find the Lost Item Compass]
Quality: Platinum.
Type: Assistive devices.
Characteristics: Detection, hypnosis.
Effect: If a supernatural item of platinum quality is nearby, the compass needle will point in the direction of that item (the closest one). Gently swaying the dial in front of the other person can hypnotize them; the stronger the holder's mental power, the easier it is to successfully hypnotize them.
Hidden effect: Range of all detection skills increased by 30%, mental energy recovery increased by 10%.
"Keep an eye on this compass and see who gives up first."
Xia Zhi looked at them and said softly.
"How about it, want to give it a try?"
Chapter 558 The Contest Between the Unthinkable (4K)
In a small, quiet, enclosed room.
A young man with a mysterious smile stood in front of the two twin women.
He raised one hand, in which hung a compass.
The compass swayed back and forth in front of the two women.
As time passed, their eyes slowly lost their sparkle, until they fell into a dazed state...
Unfortunately, this classic storyline never actually happened.
Xia Zhi stood still, his brows slightly furrowed.
He had been setting up the compass for over an hour.
However, neither the Thunder Movie nor the Thunder General showed any signs of being hypnotized.
Their eyes remained as bright as ever, intently watching the compass swaying back and forth.
Since hypnosis has been ineffective for so long, there's no point in continuing.
It's probably because Shadow's will is too strong.
Or perhaps my current mental strength is not high enough to suppress the shadow, and I need to continue developing.
Xia Zhi stopped the hypnosis he was doing, shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, it seems that the method I proposed won't work either."
"It's ok."
After Ying finished speaking, she turned her head away, and the general also turned his head to look at her. The two identical faces stared at each other at close range, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
Xia Zhi put away the compass and asked, "Are you two preparing to fight again?"
"Ah."
"We must determine a winner between us."
Xia Zhi looked at them and said, "In that case, I might be able to offer you a little help."
"A little...help?"
"Ok?"
Xia Zhi pondered for a moment and said, "The problem you two are worried about is simply that the two sides are evenly matched in strength, but there isn't enough time to wear each other down, right?"
"Yes."
"Yes."
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "That's actually a very easy problem for me to solve. I happen to know a little about the laws of time, and I can create a special battlefield in your dreams where time stands still, so you can fight there. How about that?"
"in this way……"
"……feasible."
Xia Zhi nodded and said, "Then let's go."
The three people left the small room and came to an open space outside.
Xia Zhi manipulated the power of time, demarcating a sufficiently large area, and said, "Time has been paused here; you can fight for as long as you want."
Ying looked at him, nodded, and said, "Thank you."
Xia Zhi waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. Then I won't bother you any longer."
Xia Zhi turned and walked out of the time-stopped area.
But he didn't leave immediately; instead, he stood still and waited.
The next second, Shadow and General also came out from inside.
Upon seeing Xia Zhi's figure in front of them, the two of them were slightly taken aback.
Xia Zhi greeted them with a smile, noticing a change in their demeanor: "Should I tell you it's been a long time? How long have you been fighting inside?"
Ying shook her head and said, "It's been a long time... I can't remember."
The general also said, "The time required for the duel is enough to witness the rise and fall of a kingdom. The energy consumed in the duel is enough to overflow the sea and extinguish the light of day. The will sought in the duel is enough to unite hearts and overturn dreams."
Xia Zhi asked curiously, "It sounds like it was very intense. What was the result?"
Ying said in a complicated tone, "It's still... a draw."
Xia Zhi asked in surprise, "Does that mean you two still haven't decided a winner?"
The general said, "Although there is no clear winner, I have already acknowledged her. Her new will does not stem from [wear and tear]. I will no longer hinder her attempts to modify the laws; from this day forward, I will remain her accomplice."
Shadow said, "I will no longer set any rules that are absolutely unchangeable."
The general said, "That's your business. My duties will not change, but as a warrior, I look forward to having opportunities to fight like this again in the future."
Ying looked at her and said, "It will happen."
Xia Zhi suddenly interjected, asking, "So, General, although you have acknowledged Shadow's will, you haven't actually had enough of fighting yet?"
The general nodded: "Yes."
Xia Zhi asked, "Is it because you two are too familiar with each other's moves?"
The general said, "Perhaps... Although the battle was intense, it was a draw the whole time. Neither of us could win, and neither of us could lose."
Xia Zhi laughed and asked, "So, would you be interested in fighting me?"
The general hesitated slightly: "With you?"
Xia Zhi nodded: "Well, to be honest, so far I've only fought against Oser and the Dragon King, and both times it was in the form of transformation. I'd like to try fighting without transforming. What do you think?"
The general nodded, "I'm willing to accompany you."
Xia Zhi smiled and said, "Then let's go in."
He and General Thunder re-entered the area where time had stopped.
A naginata appeared in General Raiden's hand.
A long spear also materialized in Xia Zhi's hand.
When the two began to fight, the general was forced to retreat in defeat.
There was no way around it. Although both of them were masters in martial arts, Xia Zhi's strength was somehow much greater than the general's, and she simply couldn't withstand his moves.
This won't do; we can't fight like this anymore.
General Thunder stepped back a short distance and said seriously, "Mr. Xia, please be careful."
Xia Zhi sensed that her aura was constantly increasing, and looked at her with some curiosity: "Oh? What kind of move is this?"
The general said, "This is the strongest move that I and Shadow have ever made. It is called the 'Slash of No Thought.' The Demon God Orobas died by this slash back then."
Xia Zhi was taken aback upon hearing this.
A single, unexpected strike?
I don't think I can do that either...
