Chapter 344 - 341
Ah! T-the battle had start!
Jiu Wei and the others at this time had sat down at the audience seat. From this seat they could heard what those two inside the arena said but somehow...the people inside the arena couldn"t hear their voice!
The arena was made so that no one could gave hint or answer for the people inside the arena who was playing the riddle.
"What?! What kind of question is that??" Chen who heard the first riddle made by Huo Bai Lei, had the urge to interfere with the battle but he hold back this urge.
After all before they started the battle, both player had made a vow to heaven and G.o.d to play fair and square without help from outsider. If he interfere now...he would kill Li s.h.i.+ Ying then! The power of vow in this world was very powerful.
If you made a vow and broke it, there would be a thunder struck you to death as the punishment that"s why Chen and the others could only sat down and watch the battle.
"This riddle is so hard! It"s ambiguous as the right answer can only be decided by the one who make the riddle" Even Jiu Wei who was the smartest among those 4, couldn"t guess the right answer.
In this battle to prevent the player to cheat by saying the other player answer is wrong even though it"s right, before they gave the question, they had wrote down the answer at a paper and using a certain technique, this answer would be shown to the audience.
So...the audience would know the answer a few seconds after the question was asked. This was to prevent the player who gave question, change the answer when the other player guessed it right.
SRINGGG....
"Ah look! The answer sheet have appear!" Di Yu suddenly saw a word being written on air, outside the battle arena so he quickly told the others about this.
Of course this word couldn"t be seen from inside the battle arena. It was suspected that in Pure Jade Sect there must be an array master.
This array master must put a special barrier around the arena that preventing the player inside the arena couldn"t hear or see anything from outside the barrier while the audience, could see and hear anything inside the barrier.
Even telepathy couldn"t be used with this barrier existed so...Li s.h.i.+ Ying was fighting alone.
"What?! That is the answer?! It"s ambiguous! There can be a lot of answer for this question!" Chen saw the answer projected outside the barrier for the audience and instantly felt worried.
How could it be....he didn"t even think that this word would be the answer!
Even Jiu Wei also thought the same. The answer projected to the audience was indeed logical and was true but then there could be a lot other true answers to this riddle!
It wasn"t limited to only this answer but...Li s.h.i.+ Ying had to guess the answer Huo Bai Lei choose! Could she?!
Back to Li s.h.i.+ Ying place.
Ughh what could be broken without being held?! There was a lot! She could just said whatever she thought but there were only 3 chances to guess and if the three answer she would immediately lost the round even if she still had time to guess.
Well she already had a guess in her mind so...why not try now? She already used 2 seconds! 8 seconds left! Let"s just bet on this 3 chances.
"...silence! The answer is silence!" Li s.h.i.+ Ying quickly shouted the answer she thought which was followed by a firm denial from Jiu Wei and the others.
"Ah!! it"s not the answer mistress!!" Jiu Wei gnashed his teeth when he heard Li s.h.i.+ Ying use her first chance to guess the answer.
TOOOOTT.
When Li s.h.i.+ Ying use her first chance, there was this board suddenly get a red cross on it indicating that Li s.h.i.+ Ying had use her first chance and...she got it wrong.
G-gah!! It wasn"t the answer?!
Li s.h.i.+ Ying face turned dark when her answer turned out to be a wrong answer.
d.a.m.n it!! This answer was right but it wasn"t what Huo Bai Lei wanted?! This would be very hard then!!
"Sorry wrong answer lady, try again" Huo Bai Lei smiled looking very happy that Li s.h.i.+ Ying got it wrong.
The whole battle would be decided at the third round. Each round had both player giving their question. If the two player score was tied at the second round, the third round would be the decisive round.
But..if this lady kept on guessing wrong while he could guess it right..she would die even before the third round!
"Uh...uh..ah...heart! heart could be broken without being held!" Li s.h.i.+ Ying really couldn"t think of anything else aside from this answer. Now she had use her second chance and the time...it was 5 seconds left!
"Ahhh that"s not the answer!!" This time it was Chen turn to gnash his teeth.
TOT.
"Wrong~" Huo Bai Lei laughed seeing Li s.h.i.+ Ying face was drenched in cold sweat. This girl would lost!
!! Gah! Wrong again?! What"s the answer then??
TENG TENG TENG. TIME"S UP!
