Chapter 218: The trial -6
The fake one’s face twisted in frustration, his own insecurities starting to show, “Shut up! You don’t know anything!” he yelled.
“I’m perfect the way I am, in every way possible. You’re the one with the problem, not me!”
He tried to sound more confident, but his defensiveness betrayed him.
Bai Lung saw through the fake one’s ‘Tough act’.
” you are Perfect? Pfft! You’re barely passable,” he said with a smirk.
“And your defense mechanisms are weak. All I have to do is mention your ‘size’ and you get all flustered. It’s pathetic, really, get some balls man,”
The fake one felt his ego being chipped away with each playful jab.
“Stop it! You’re being stupid! Size doesn’t matter! It’s personality that matters and you know very well you don’t have a good personality,” he protested, trying to maintain his composure.
“it’s what you do with it that counts!” he adds.” Is that so? Then why are you getting so defensive about it? Seems like you’re insecure about it, after all,”
Bai Lung chuckled, enjoying the banter.
He knew he was getting under the fake one’s skin, but he couldn’t resist the temptation to poke fun at him.
The deep fear was feeling fear. Bai Lung isn’t the one the one that gets knocked, he is the one who knocks.
” I’m not insecure! I’m just annoyed that you’re making such a big deal about it!” the fake one retorted, trying to salvage what remained of his pride.
He is supposed to be the deep fear, and dark thoughts, how can he be cornered when he 2qs supposed to corner Bai Lung?
“Besides, size isn’t everything, you know. It’s about skill and technique… ”
” Oh, really? Then maybe you should show me your ‘skills and techniques’ ”
Bai Lung couldn’t help but tease the fake one even more. This was proving to be far more entertaining than he had expected.
The fake one blushed with embarrassment, feeling more and more flustered.
” I-I… I don’t have to show you anything. It’s none of your business.”
He tried to sound confident, but his voice betrayed his vulnerability.
” Come on, don’t be shy. Unless you’re scared that I’ll just laugh again?”
Bai Lung taunted, knowing that he had the fake one on the defensive.
He was enjoying this exchange far too much, reveling in the power he had over his doppelgänger.
” I’m not scared! I just don’t want to waste time on this ridiculous discussion!” the fake one protested getting his teeth.
But deep down, he knew that he was losing this battle.
He was supposed to be the dark reflection of Bai Lung’s fears and insecurities, yet he was being mocked for his size.
Outrageous!
” Oh, but it’s not a waste of time,” Bai Lung smirked.
“Not to me, anyway. Seeing you squirm is too entertaining. But if you’re too scared to show me your ‘skills,’ I understand. I wouldn’t want to prove myself right,”
The fake one clenched his fists, frustrated with how this confrontation was going. He was struggling to maintain his composure, and the constant jabs about his size weren’t helping.
Anything is tolerated unless it’s the size of the eggplant.
” Fine!” he snapped. ” I’ll show you!”
Bai Lung raised an eyebrow, as he was quite surprised by the fake one’s sudden agreement.
He hadn’t expected him to give in so easily.
“Oh? So you’re going to show me your ‘skills,’ huh?” he taunted.
He leaned back, waiting to see what the fake one would do next.
…
The fake one took a deep breath, trying to gather his courage. He knew that he was about to reveal his insecurities to Bai Lung, but he saw no other way out.
” Fine. You want to see my skills? Then I’ll show you,” he said, a hint of reluctance in his voice.
He didn’t want to do this, but he had to prove that he wasn’t small.
Bai Lung watched with amusement as the fake one built up his courage.
He knew that the doppelgänger was trying to put on a brave face, but he could sense the insecurities and doubts beneath.
“Go ahead, then. Impress me,” he said, leaning back and crossing his arms.
The fake one swallowed hard, taking another deep breath to steady himself. This was it. He was going to show Bai Lung that he wasn’t small, not in any way.
He closed his eyes, gathering Qi and energy. Then, with a quick and precise hand gesture, he formed a symbol in the air.
“Spiritual Expansion”
A burst of energy shot out from the fake one, surrounding him in an aura of Qi. For a brief moment, it looked like ‘he’ was growing bigger before returning to his usual size.
“Satisfied yet?” He asked but the next instance he was left broken.
“Hahahahahaha!” Bai Lung couldn’t control his laughter even though he was in his soul form.
What was that? Like seriously? What even was that? A joke?
You have broken the seed of your darkest depth, you can proceed forward!
Bai Lung: “…” ( well that’s it? )
He was confused and bamboozled, he just laughed at the fake one’s dick size, and the fake one was defeated? Just like that?
Kinda disappointing, Bai Lung thought the fake one should be more stronger than that.
However, the real challenge was just started as he climbed the stairs to the tenth floor.
As soon he took the first step, his soul was almost sucked into the stairs causing Bai Lung to take a moment to keep his calm.
His soul almost shattered from the pressure.
Swoosh~
Just then a burst of light envelops him…
And a figure of child papers in front of him.
“If you are here then I must admit it you are a talented one, however, climbing to the tenth floor will take more than just being talented… I was the pinnacle of talent but I couldn’t climb to the tenth floor.
However, I don’t wish you to fail as I did so, I have left this spirit-gathering aura here… go on the young soul, to fulfill the dream that I couldn’t fulfill, however, make sure to remember that there is a floor higher than the tenth floor, which will allow you to get double reward,”
