5.31% Absolute Choice / Chapter 31: You are actually a Demon, right?

Kapitel 31: You are actually a Demon, right?

Shi Xiaobai was rendered speechless. Only recently had he played an uninteresting card drawing game with Hisith. Shi Xiaobai was not interested in Hisith's game at all, and wanted to keep a distance from the perverse Hisith.

But the depraved instructor did not plan on letting him off. This was not the first time he had targeted him, and now, he had been called to the podium the moment class started.

Feeling the concerned and sympathetic gazes from Ye Jiaquan and Lingcun, Shi Xiaobai frowned.

"Whatever. This King was previously once a God of Games. How can I be scared off by a depraved gamer that is none other than a sham!?"

Thinking of his tiny victory back in Hisith's office, Shi Xiaobai was immediately filled with confidence. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he got up and walked fearlessly to the podium in the middle.

"Dahei looks very confident. Me..feels that Dahei should be able to survive it." Ye Jiaquan looked at Lingcun and said feebly.

Lingcun sighed and did not respond. His pale blue eyes flashed with seriousness.

When Shi Xiaobai came to Hisith's side, he immediately felt like he had entered an ice cavern, as a cold crept up through his entire body. His body slowly began to stiffen.

Hisith gave Shi Xiaobai a sinister-looking smile and whispered, "Before we play the game, let me ask you. Dahei, do you know what 'Psionic Shield' is?

Shi Xiaobai was momentarily stunned as he thought for a moment, before he shook his head and said, "No."

When the seated rookies heard this, they gave an incredulous look. A number of people even had a dismissive sneer suffusing at the corner of their lips.

He was an idiot who didn't even know what Psionic Shield was? Did he rely on cronyism to get into [Gaia]? The rookies who suspected Tu Dahei to be Shi Xiaobai immediately had their suspicions lessened greatly.

Hisith had received information of Shi Xiaobai from the organization's upper echelons. The information revealed that Shi Xiaobai had yet to begin Psionic Ability cultivation, so it was naturally possible for him to be unaware of 'Psionic Shield', hence Hisith had questioned him. Shi Xiaobai's answer was within his expectations, but Hisith felt his head ache. This was because to proceed with the game, he needed Shi Xiaobai to be able to understand and grasp "Psionic Shield".

"It looks like I need to tug at a sapling to help it grow."

With this thought in mind, Hisith turned towards the seated rookies and said, "Wang Lin, explain to him what 'Psionic Shield' is."

With him saying this, a 17–18-year-old youth with short hair stood up from the seats on the right. Under his tight-fit shirt were firm muscles, it was obvious he was strong. Everyone from Team Blue cast their eyes at the youth, filled with awe and trust.

Wang Lin nodded at Hisith before looking at Shi Xiaobai and said calmly, "Psionic Shield is a Psionic Ability produced from one of the four major combat systems, namely defense."

Wang Lin paused for a while as he pondered over his words before continuing, "The system of defense is divided into physical and psionic defense. Physical defense refers to one's skin, flesh, bones and mental defenses. It is in the domain of one's physical cultivation. As for psionic defense, it is a study of how to use Psionic Power as a form of defense. The name Psionic Shield implies using Psionic Power to form a shield so as to block attacks within a defensive range."

After Wang Lin finished speaking, he stretched his right hand out. Suddenly what seemed like beams or vapor began gathering in front of his palm in the form of white energy. He had produced a white shield that could nearly block everything in front of him.

Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up. He had previously seen the white energy back when Ye Jiaquan was punching the wall. So that was so-called "Psionic Power"?

"Psionic Shield typically is used to protect against uni-directional attacks. Be it engaging in melee combat with swords and sabers, or long-distance gunfire or bombs, a solid Psionic Shield can block all of them. Typically, a Psionic Shield at the fourth level of Psionic Mortal Realm is able to withstand ordinary bullets, but would be useless against special anti-psionic bullets."

After Wang Lin was done speaking, he retracted his right hand. Immediately, the white shield began to dissipate. He looked at Hisith, indicating to him that he was done explaining. Seeing Hisith nod his head, he coolly sat down.

"This thing can block bullets!"

Shi Xiaobai's heartbeat began palpitating as he felt like all the blood in his body was about to boil.

Upon seeing this, Hisith's eyes seemed to flash as he said, "Psionic defense is divided into four stages. The first stage is Psionic Hardening. By using Psionic Power to cause a body part to harden, it can instantly achieve the effect of enhancing the body's physical defense. The second stage is Psionic Shield. Typically, it is used to block unidirectional attacks."

"The third stage is Psionic Barrier. It can be said to be an omni-directional shield. Although its defensive strength is inferior to Psionic Shield, it is suitable for protecting yourself when facing a rain of bullets, swords or sabers."

"Finally, the last stage is Psionic Domain. It can achieve the effects of defending a large area. When many people collectively produce a Domain, it can be used to protect cities. Once the degree of hardness reaches a certain level, it will be the main method to defend against missiles or nuclear bombs."

Hisith explained the four psionic defenses in detail. The rookies in the room already knew this by heart, so they were immediately somewhat puzzled. Why was Instructor Hisith patiently explaining such extremely basic knowledge to this bumpkin?

But Shi Xiaobai's eyes were almost burning red. What did he hear? Through human means, defend against missiles and nuclear bombs? This... Wasn't this the power he had always been dreaming of?

"How is it? Do you want to learn Psionic Shield?" Hisith's voice that contained a spell of bewitchment sounded in Shi Xiaobai's ears.

At this moment, Shi Xiaobai was unable to resist the temptation as he hurriedly nodded. "Yes! Not only the shield, This King wants to learn everything!"

"Alright, then I'll teach you."

Hisith smiled as he suddenly leaned towards Shi Xiaobai and whispered into his ear. The rookies pricked up their ears but were unable to hear a single thing. They immediately found things odd.

Producing a Psionic Shield was not something one could do overnight. It was like learning a language. It needed the accumulation of time to achieve that. Instructor Hisith said he wanted to teach this bumpkin, and even whispered something in his ear. Was there some heaven-defying shortcut?

Hisith's whispers did not last more than a minute. Shi Xiaobai nodded his head despite having only a hazy notion of it, but he said with doubt, "Doing that can produce the shield you mentioned? That simple?"

Everyone was stunned hearing this.

There was really a shortcut?

Hisith nodded with a smile that didn't look like a smile. "Of course, you will know once you give it a try."

Shi Xiaobai did not doubt him. His passion for power made him immediately execute what Hisith told him.

"Use your heart to feel your body's Psionic Power. Use your mind to control the flow of Psionic Power. Then silently recite the chant..."

Shi Xiaobai stretched out his right hand as Hisith's words flashed in his mind. Suddenly, he felt a warmth rise up from his body. The warmth made him feel comfortable.

But very quickly, this warmth carried on rising in temperature, and slowly became a scalding heat. Pain came from his every nerve, as Shi Xiaobai immediately felt like he had found himself in the middle of flames. It was so painful that he nearly fainted.

"Ah!"

A scream tore out of Shi Xiaobai's mouth, immediately resounding throughout the entire classroom.

The rookies immediately understood what had happened as they immediately drew a gasp. They covered their mouths to prevent themselves from screaming.

Ye Jiaquan's eyes were already red as he said with a trembling voice. "Lingcun, if Me... If Me isn't wrong, Dahei is now using the 'Body Incineration Curse', right?"

Lingcun's facial expression had long sunk, as he said with a painful tone, "It is the Body Incineration Curse. It is said to be the most vicious manner of accelerating growth through excessive means. The success rate is less than 10%. If he succeeds, he would be able to at least open up one psionic sacred meridian, but the outcome of failure would be having his body consumed in fire and he would die a painful death."

"If Dahei can survive the Body Incineration Curse, and open up any psionic sacred meridian, then he can indeed omit the need of a comprehension and accumulation process. He would be able to directly gain the control of 'Grasped Basics' of Psionic Power. This is probably the shortcut Hisith thought of."

"Damn it! I never expected Hisith to be willing to make such a desperate attempt just so that his game can proceed smoothly. Doesn't he know that Dahei is actually Shi...No, it's impossible that he doesn't know, but why is he doing this? Isn't he afraid that he will cause Dahei's death? The success rate of Body Incineration Curse is less than 10%! If Dahei dies, as one of the three powerhouses of [Gaia], won't he feel the pinch?"

"Or could it be that he doesn't care about [Gaia]'s rise or fall? That's right. I should have realized earlier that he was such a madman. I was the one who harmed Dahei. It's all my fault! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

As Lingcun whispered, he was shouting out in his heart silently. His expression looked painful as he buried his head in his knees, with his entire body trembling.

Shi Xiaobai's tragic screams continued. His skin was already a scalding hot red color. White smoke was beginning to rise up around him as his body seemed like it was about to spontaneously combust into the most ruthless inferno.

As for Hisith, he was standing by the side turning a blind eye to it, as if he was watching a good show play out in front of him.

Even the most ruthless and merciless rookie could not help but feel a sense of pity seeing this. This bumpkin, Tu Dahei, was truly wretched. Encountering the depraved madman, Hisith, who wore an outer skin as a Hero, was bad luck accumulated across eight generations. His only chance of survival was that scammy less than 10% chance of success.

Using the Body Incineration Curse either meant being reborn or to be burned to ash. Everything did not depend on one's self, nor willpower, just plain luck!

Time passed by the tick, as Shi Xiaobai's screams turned hoarse. His body seemed like a fixed column. Although he looked like he should have been squirming on the ground, he was standing there screaming. He was like a young tree sapling erected there, experiencing the burning of an inferno.

How long would such torment last?

"Pu!"

Suddenly, the sound of a crisp crack issued from Shi Xiaobai's body. In front of him, a cracked shield, which was so white it looked translucent, bloomed. The red glow on his skin converged immediately as the burning temperatures of the surroundings quickly cooled down. The water mist also dispersed in an instant.

The seated rookies immediately broke into chaos.

"Holy shit, he succeeded?"

"He actually managed to survive the Body Incinerating Curse. This bumpkin's luck is...heaven-defying!"

"This means he has at least opened up a psionic sacred meridian. Ze Ze. As they say, foolish people can have dumb luck!"

"You guys, enough. He was tortured to the point of death, can't you just be more sparing with your words?"

"That is a sacred meridian won at the risk of his life. You can't not be convinced!"

"Should...should this bumpkin bear a grudge or thank Instructor Hisith?"

"..."

Whispers in the classroom erupted. They had witnessed a rare Body Incinerating Curse, and even rarer was that the extremely weak bumpkin had managed to succeed!

Shi Xiaobai was still gasping violently as sweat covered his entire body. His eyes could no longer open, and his body looked like it would topple with a simple nudge, yet for some reason, he still stood upright.

After enduring such cruel torture, at the moment of his relief, he must have felt like falling to the ground and lay unconscious, right?

Why was he still standing?

"Very good! Very good! Very good!"

Hisith's voice that seemed bordering on madness cracked the mystery.

Everyone immediately shut their mouths as they felt their hearts filled with fear. Shi Xiaobai was unable to fall, because Hisith did not want him to fall.

Hisith had forced him to stand there, so he could only keep his exhausted body silently standing there.

"Enough, enough, it's really enough!" The seated Lingcun was roaring in his heart, as he looked furiously at Hisith.

Was it enough?

For Hisith, this was clearly not enough. This was because everything he did for Shi Xiaobai was to allow the game he designed to proceed smoothly. His game had only just begun.

"Since Dahei has learned Psionic Shield, let the games begin!"

Hisith relentlessly mentioned his original but consistent goal. Everyone could not bear watching this any further. Tu Dahei, should it be said that you had great luck to open up a psionic sacred meridian, or should it be said that you had terrible luck to encounter the perverse Hisith?

"As for the game rules, all of you are to attack Tu Dahei's Psionic Shield. Only by shattering Tu Dahei's shield in one strike will it be considered a pass. If you can't shatter it, then you will be eliminated from [Gaia] directly!"

A sinister smile suffused from the corners of Hisith's lips. "Then, let the games begin. I already can't wait for it!"

Everyone was immediately dumbfounded.

What fucking game was this?

They had heard that this bumpkin was at the first level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, and he had just learned how to use Psionic Power. The Psionic Shield he produced was in such a sorry state, and was so thin like there was nothing. It was impossible for them not to be able to break it, right?

The crux of the matter was that they would be eliminated if they failed to break it, so all of them would definitely muster all their strength!

This was no doubt a form of "abuse". No, there were 72 rookies in the classroom excluding Tu Dahei. It was 72 rounds of abuse!

After having nearly died from physical torment, he would next be faced with 72 terrible counts of defeat. This game was indeed extremely "fun".

"Instructor Hisith, you are actually a demon, right?"

This was the most intense thought in everyone's minds.

  1. IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said "<a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://youtu.be/78VmKepFm1U?t%3D30s&sa=D&ust=1528795747700000">I will not easily 'go die'</a>", but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.

Kapitel 32: The Weakest Rookie

Although Shi Xiaobai was standing, he was trembling over all and drenched with sweat. His face was extremely pale, and his eyes seemed to be rolling upwards. Everyone knew that if Hisith hadn't prevented him from collapsing, he would have long passed out.

At this moment, Shi Xiaobai's condition was probably so bad that he found it difficult to take half a step, what more power a Psionic Shield to withstand the attacks of 72 rookies one after another? Why did Hisith want to play such a heartless and boring "game"?

A few rookies, who knew Hisith's stained record, were confused. Hisith always felt disdain for boring toys and games, so why was he doing the opposite now?

Hisith gave his answer.

A poker card appeared out of thin air, in the middle of two of his fingers. As he fanned his wrist and threw it out gently, the poker card with strange iridescent sparkles flew onto Shi Xiaobai's chest. As everyone looked on, it sank into Shi Xiaobai's body and disappeared.

At the instant the poker card disappeared, a red beam blasted out from Shi Xiaobai's back. A gigantic illuminated projection formed behind him, fading in and out of existence. It was a gigantic poker card—Eight of Hearts.

A seated rookie suddenly screamed!

"Underworld Poker!?"

"Eight of Hearts. That's too.. too exorbitant!"

"Poker Hisith, Underworld King of the Mortal World!"

"..."

People successively stood up from the seats as they widened their eyes, refusing to blink. They were afraid to miss this rare scene. The looks they cast at the poker card-shaped projection was filled with fear.

"What is Underworld Poker?" Ye Jiaquan scratched his head as he asked Lingcun.

"Underworld Poker is Instructor Hisith's A Class superpower. It's known as the Poker from the Underworld. Some people say that Hisith's poker cards are actually the Underworld."

Lingcun had an odd expression as his voice contained a tinge of disbelief. He said, "Every Underworld Poker Card Instructor Hisith has is extremely precious. This is because Underworld Poker is constructed from the souls of the dead. Be it calamity fiends, astral beasts, aliens, alternate dimensional beings, mutated creatures or even humans, their souls are the ingredients Instructor Hisith uses to create Underworld Poker. Hence, Instructor Hisith is a true soul reaper, a spokesperson of the Underworld. As he is so powerful, he has been dubbed 'Underworld King of the Mortal World'."

"Use souls as ingredients to construct poker cards? That..That is actually possible?" Ye Jiaquan found it absolutely mind-boggling.

"Superpower also means the "ability to let your imagination go wild'. There are only things that cannot be imagined, nothing is impossible. This is the main reason why Psykers are so powerful. However, superpowers have their three elements, function, conditions and limitations. Instructor Hisith's Underworld Poker must have weaknesses both in conditions and limitations, but that is Instructor Hisith's greatest secret and I'm afraid no one knows.

Lingcun gulped his saliva to moisten his throat as he continued, "It is said that Instructor Hisith's Underworld Poker has four functions. I remember that Hearts represent 'healing'. Instructor Hisith is now using the healing Hearts on Tu Dahei. The higher the value of the face of the card, the better the effects. The Eight of Hearts is considered above average and rather precious. Silly Ye, if we use your soul as a standard of measure, a hundred of you won't even be enough to produce one Eight of Hearts!"

"A hundred of Me's souls won't be enough!?" Ye Jiaquan stared in disbelief.

"Why is Instructor Hisith willing to spend his valuable Underworld Poker to heal Dahei? Why?"

Lingcun's eyebrows deeply wrinkled. Be it tricking Shi Xiaobai into using the Body Incineration Curse to aid his growth through excessive means, or using the Underworld Poker to forcefully heal Shi Xiaobai, it was all for allowing the seemingly boring game to proceed smoothly. Was the game so important to Hisith?

"Could Instructor Hisith feel pleasure in seeing Shi Xiaobai being utterly defeated 72 times?"

Underworld King Hisith treated humans as toys, and life as a game. He treated the world as a theme park. All his actions and judgment should have been categorized as "interesting" and "boring".

Love the interesting, trample on the boring was the only principle Hisith had.

And what Hisith was currently doing clearly proved something—Shi Xiaobai and the upcoming games were to him, relatively interesting, worthy of his love.

"Sigh, I shouldn't have persuaded him to join rookie training. For him, [Gaia] is not a necessary choice, and wouldn't even be considered an excellent option. But for my own selfish motives, I lured him into concealing his identity, sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth. I have harmed him."

Lingcun blamed himself in his heart as his fists clenched tightly. He habitually bit his thumbnail with his teeth as he tried to think of numerous methods to crack the situation, but he rejected each and every one of them, eventually become severely frustrated.

Hisith was too strong for him. In front of absolute strength, no strategy or trick was useful.

...

...

Hisith was not only the three powerhouses of [Gaia]. He was famous in China, and even internationally. When he suddenly volunteered to be a rookie instructor, it had caused quite a sensation in [Gaia] internally.

Although Hisith was eccentric, or even could be said to be perverse, his strength was beyond doubt. And when he became serious at teaching, the rookies benefited greatly from him. As such, even though they had witnessed Hisith's "normal games" several times, they still felt more joy than sorrow.

But at this moment, they were completely at a loss. Wasn't this "game that is slighty more difficult" a bit too perverse?

Some meticulous rookies noticed something strange. The poker card projection was essentially a soul! When the poker card's energy was drained, the souls imprisoned by Hisith in the poker card would vanish, disappearing completely.

And the bumpkin was currently absorbing the soul energy, derived from the valuable "Eight of Hearts". Why was Instructor Hisith giving him so much "love"? A few rookies with dark minds could no longer suppress their jealous emotions.

Everyone had disparate thoughts, as the "Healing Heart" on the platform was coming to an end.

The projection of the poker card suddenly transformed into a pale red rain of light that fell on Shi Xiaobai. As droplets of energy infused themselves into his white, tender skin, a pink fog began to immediately rise up around Shi Xiaobai's surroundings. His sticky sweat droplets evaporated while he was bathed in the pink fog, and his pained and twisted face gradually looked relieved. His tightly clenched teeth gradually relaxed and the light in his eyes slowly returned.

The healing effects of "Eight of Hearts" were rather staggering. Within moments, Shi Xiaobai's pain and fatigue was completely eliminated. His physical strength, mental strength and psionic power were all restored.

Just as the Underworld Poker's soul was about to dissipate, everyone in the room could hear a roar that reached into their souls. The roar was filled with anger, resentment and indignation.

At the same moment, Shi Xiaobai's eyes suddenly widened. An angry roar came out of his throat, resounding the entire classroom.

"You depraved person, what did you do to This King!?"

When everyone heard this, they were stunned with opened mouths. How did this bumpkin still dare to curse Instructor Hisith? And why was he calling himself "This King"? Doesn't he know how dangerous his present situation was?

Instructor Hisith was one of the three powerhouses who could ignore the organization's discipline. Even if he killed this bumpkin right there and then, or even turning his soul into an Underworld Poker, those members of the upper echelon of the organization, who loved having the words "justice" hang by their mouths, would probably just wryly smile and say 'can't you take it easy?', and not mete out any punishment.

This bumpkin was simply courting death himself!

...

After using the Body Incineration Curse, Shi Xiaobai had experienced an excruciating pain throughout his body, and he fell into a trance, so how could he hear the voices around him? Of course he did not know what the Body Incineration Curse was, or else how would he have been so easily tricked by Hisith?

So in fact, Shi Xiaobai did not know that he had just taken a trip to Death's door, nor did he know that the Hisith beside him was not only a game maniac, but also a cruel demon. Similarly, he did not know that he was about to face 72 rounds of 'sparring' that he had no chance of winning.

Shi Xiaobai only knew that after using Hisith's imparted method, he had experienced great pain. Later on, the pain gradually subsided, but his brain kept producing heart-wrenching screams, as wave after wave of resentment struck his soul, causing him to nearly have a mental breakdown.

After a long period of suffering, he finally came to and saw Hisith immediately. Instantly, he recalled that all that had happened to him was a result of attempting Hisith's method, so having found the culprit, he did not hesitate to rail out angrily.

Shi Xiaobai stared at Hisith with eyes filled with anger.

Air seemed to solidify, and a repressive atmosphere immediately emanated the entire room. Everyone could not help but hold their breaths, as to their horror, they saw Instructor Hisith's gloomy expression. It was like the amassing of dark clouds before a thunderstorm.

This bumpkin will die a horrible death, right?

Just as everyone was having such thoughts, Hisith suddenly laughed. A coquettish smile suffused the corner of his lips as it turned into a charming smile.

"I was helping you open up a psionic sacred meridian."

Hisith's eyes narrowed slightly as he gently said, "The human body has eight psionic sacred meridians. Opening up any single one of them gives rise to a magical effect. What I just did was to help you open up at least one psionic sacred meridian. Opening up a psionic sacred meridians allows your control of Psionic Power to reach the 'Grasped Basics' realm. It will eliminate the requirement of a long period of accumulation."

"Tu Dahei, you can now use Psionic Shield."

Hisith's gentle voice made him look like a kind and amiable instructor, as though he was not angered because of Shi Xiaobai's cursing. Instead, he graciously tolerated his insolence.

Everyone immediately found it odd. What Instructor Hisith said was not wrong, but why did he deliberately skip the matter regarding the Body Incineration Curse? This bumpkin's psionic sacred meridian was not opened up by Instructor Hisith, but obtained by having the bumpkin risk his life. He had won using heaven-defying luck!

What did Hisith do? He had maintained a mild, prim and proper look while producing such a shameless lie, and for what?

Shi Xiaobai neither knew that he had used the Body Incineration Curse or that Hisith had lied to him, nor did he know anything about the psionic sacred meridian, but he understood the last thing Hisith said.

"This King can already use Psionic Shield?"

That was a method that could withstand bullets. He could already use it?

Shi Xiaobai's eyes lit up, but very quickly, he began frowning and looked with renewed wariness and suspicions at Hisith.

"Then why was This King's divine body engulfed by an Eternal Calamity Inferno? Why were there Underworld Wraiths who infiltrated and wailed in This King's mind? What did you do?" Shi Xiaobai asked angrily after a moment of silence.

With that said, everyone was dumbfounded. What did that bumpkin just say? Eternal Calamity Inferno? Underworld Wraiths?

Hisith was startled for half a second before the smile on his lips grew more intense. The way he looked at Shi Xiaobai turned even gentler. He said softly, "The gaining of strength is usually associated with the birth of pain. Tu Dahei, if you can obtain eternal strength for a moment of pain, is there a need for you to complain?"

Hisith's expression seemed to say "you cheaped out and you still want to act innocent?"

Hisith's expression was truly vivid. Numerous rookies hurriedly covered their mouths, afraid they would burst out with laughter. Was Instructor Hisith pulling a fast one on a fool?

However, when Shi Xiaobai heard Hisith's words, he went into deep contemplation, with his gaze turning heavy. Moments later, Shi Xiaobai suddenly reached out his right hand, and instantly, a broken Psionic Shield, which was so white that it looked transparent, appeared in front of him. However, it was so thin that it resembled a cicada's wing.

This motion that he had never rehearsed before had become nearly instinctive. It was as if a simple thought of fantasizing something would spew out of his palms, materialized into reality.

Was this power?

This was power!

Shi Xiaobai answered his own question, and immediately felt clarity in his heart. All the resentment he had, disappeared the next moment as a intense fighting spirit burned!

"If power can be exchanged with pain, This King is willing to suffer the agony of purgatory!"

Shi Xiaobai grinned and retracted his right hand. He looked at Hisith and said, "This King was wrong about you."

Everyone nearly fell backwards as they were rendered extremely speechless. This bumpkin's stupidity was peerless! They could not bear it, but did not make a single move. Instructor Hisith clearly had a scheme and he was enjoying it. If anyone dared to interrupt Hisith's fun, that person would probably end up in a miserable state.

At this moment, Hisith was immersed in his world of games!

"Although you have obtained strength, this strength is unstable. You temporarily have control over Psionic Power, but you need to think of a way to consolidate it."

A light smile suffused from Hisith's mouth. It looked extremely coquettish and charming as he told Shi Xiaobai another lie.

People, who had a psionic sacred meridian opened up, would have their Psionic Ability cultivation speed accelerated. It was also very beneficial to one's physical cultivation. It would also push one's control of Psionic Power to another stage, and unsurprisingly, it would be an eternal lifting. The words "temporarily" and "unstable" Hisith said was something even a three-year-old would not fall for!

Everyone cast their eyes on Shi Xiaobai, thinking that this bumpkin couldn't be that ignorant, right?

"Ah? Then what should be done? How can it be consolidated?"

Shi Xiaobai's reaction made everyone at a loss, they did not know how to react as not only did he believe, he even turned anxious about it.

A strange glint flashed in Hisith's eyes as he beamed even more. The way he looked at Shi Xiaobai was so gentle as though he was looking at a loved one. It gave Shi Xiaobai goosebumps.

"Very simple," Hisith gently said. "By constantly destroying before establishment. Only then will it stand firmly. Dahei, the game I prepared for you happens to allow you to consolidate the energy that might disperse at any time."

Shi Xiaobai knitted his eyebrows and said in a wary manner, "What game?"

Hisith's grin turned sinister as he reached out his hand to point at the seated rookies. He said with a bewitching tone, "The 72 rookies here will be your training partners. Each and everyone of them will strike your Psionic Shield, breaking your Psionic Shield one after another!"

"Tu Dahei, even if you fail again and again, even if your dignity is trampled one after another, you must endure through it. Clench your teeth to hold on, because from multiple times of 'destruction', you will find that one opportunity at 'establishment'. Infinite destruction before establishment. This way, you will be able to obtain power!"

"Tu Dahei, do you desire power?"

Hisith's hands opened up, as if he was holding an invisible treasure in his hands. He was inviting Shi Xiaobai to hold it tight. His fiery words contained an irresistible magic, and the way he depicted "destruction before establishment" made people excited.

If the rookies in the room did not know better, they would probably have been deceived. However, reality was cruel. Hisith's guise was just targeted at Shi Xiaobai alone, but in their eyes, he was fully exposed. It made people feel sick!

However this false disguise clearly deceived the "ignorant" Shi Xiaobai, and had even touched him.

Did Shi Xiaobai desire power?

"No, This King wants justice!"

Shi Xiaobai smiled coldly, but it then turned into a wry smile. "But justice requires power to maintain it."

Shi Xiaobai spent only a second thinking, but he was able to come to a conclusion. He turned towards the seated rookies and shouted loudly, "Then, sorry for troubling all of you!"

Shi Xiaobai accepted Hisith's game, and even believed that the 72 rookies present were "training partners" who would help him.

Everyone sighed in their hearts. This bumpkin had fallen for it after all.

Even though opening up a psionic sacred meridian was enough to push his control of Psionic Power to the realm of "Grasped Basics", for him to produce a perfect Psionic Shield required the next realm of "Familiarized Proficiency". That was a realm that required years of accumulation.

The Psionic Shield he produced was not only broken. It was so thin that it neared transparency. Even a 7–8 year old student could easily shatter it, what more them, who had passed [Gaia]'s rookie evaluation.

The bumpkin would indeed continuously experience "destruction", but it was impossible to have "establishment". It was something they had accomplished over thousands of times of practice, so how could this bumpkin achieve it within 72 times?

There was no doubt that he would suffer the bitter taste of failure 72 times! And the taste of defeat would slowly be augmented into a sense of oppression. With the last straw, the bumpkin would completely collapse. It could range from him losing his confidence to never recovering.

"This is what Hisith does best. He first gives the game participant immense hope, then he would shred the hope bit by bit, causing despair to slowly emerge out of the layers of hope."

The seated Lingcun muttered to himself. He looked miserable as the unacceptable situation that was infinitely nearing on reality began to appear in his mind.

"Be it the price paid for the situation Hisith designed, or the amount of effort placed into it, Shi Xiaobai has already reached the level of 'favorite' in his heart. And a 'favorite' toy will be completely 'played to brokenness'. This is the very core of Hisith's games."

"Hisith wants to completely destroy Shi Xiaobai! Then the game is definitely not that simple. He still has a trick up his sleeve!"

Lingcun's pupils constricted as his heart skipped a beat. He looked at the stage where Shi Xiaobai was filled with fighting spirit, and Hisith who was beaming. He bit at his thumbnail, as his handsome face looked twisted, mind overloaded from thinking.

"Quick think. There must be a way, there must be some way. There must be a solution I didn't think of. Hurry. Quick think! I'll give you all my brain cells, so hurry up and think of a solution!"

Lingcun's eyes were red as his teeth clamped harder.

"Kacha!"

The sound of his thumbnail being broken sounded.

At the same moment, Hisith's excited voice resounded, instantly drowning out Lingcun's thoughts.

"Then let the game begin! In the first wave of attack, let us begin with the weakest weakling to start the gongs of war!"

Hisith reached into his pocket, taking out a small notebook. He flipped through it rapidly as he murmured, "Let me look for it. Let me see what name the weakest little toy amongst this batch of [Annihilation] rookies has."

After flipping for a moment, he finally stopped at a particular page. A joyful smile suffused along the corner of his lips.

"I found it. This batch's weakest rookie. His name is—Chen Lingcun."

  1. IChooseDogLeading (我选择狗带) when read in Chinese sounds like I Choose Go Die. It was a meme that resulted from a former member of famous Korean boygroup, EXO, TAO (Huang Zitao). At a concert, there was a part in a rap that where he said "<a href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://youtu.be/78VmKepFm1U?t%3D30s&sa=D&ust=1528795747700000">I will not easily 'go die'</a>", but due to a mispronunciation, it sounded like he will not easily choose to be led by dogs. This phrase now means 'I'd rather die/I choose death'.
