The din carried on as numerous rookies began leaping in joy. After all, most rookies were at the first or second level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. When it came to Shi Xiaobai's Wavelet Shield, only those rookies at or above the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm could be sure that they could shatter it. So now that Shi Xiaobai had won Hisith's game, many people heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Lingcun also heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a strange sense of foreboding. In his opinion, the entire matter seemed to have many suspicious holes in it. For the game to end so suddenly made these holes seem even more suspicious.
"If Hisith's true motive is to force Shi Xiaobai to grow stronger, then Shi Xiaobai should be rather important in his eyes. He shouldn't be a toy that Hisith will discard wantonly, so wouldn't using a method such as 'Body Incineration Curse' make him look too eager for success? How did Hisith have such confidence?"
"Shi Xiaobai managed to complete 'destruction before establishment' after four rounds of 'destruction'. Does such unprecedented perception truly exist? Or is there a hidden truth? Hisith seemed to believe that Shi Xiaobai could complete 'destruction before establishment' given 72 opportunities, but even four times was beyond his expectations. Then why didn't he carry on probing further? Instead he stopped, and ended the game?"
"The series of actions Hisith did clearly isn't to help Shi Xiaobai grow stronger. There should be a hidden motive. It seems Hisith has seen something in Shi Xiaobai that has interested him. He wants to understand it deeper, preventing it from hiding, so he was trying incessantly to force it out."
"If Hisith really has a deeper motive, then why did he stop? Is it because he is full from the side dishes and wants to leave the main dish for later? Or does he think that it's no longer suitable to carry on forcing it?"
Chen Lingcun bit at his thumbnail, question after question flashing in his mind. Maybe he was overthinking it, but he kept having a nagging feeling that things were not so simple. Hisith did not like perfect endings. The game he prepared for Shi Xiaobai should not be that simple.
However, Shi Xiaobai had finally managed to survive it all. In less than an hour, not only had he opened up a psionic sacred meridian, his Psionic Ability control had reached 'Familiarized Proficiency'. His defensive skill, Wavelet Shield's proficiency level reached 'Grasped Basics'. This was something others took years to achieve!
Chen Lingcun was truly happy for Shi Xiaobai. He, who was always a restrained person, could not help but cheer along with everyone else. He could not conceal the smile on his face, as he laughed like a child.
Suddenly, he saw Shi Xiaobai turn towards Hisith and seemingly said something. Chen Lingcun involuntarily closed his mouth.
Everyone noticed something abnormal had happened as they all closed their mouths and pricked up their ears.
Was this bumpkin going to give a game completion speech?
"Hehe, Underworld King Hisith, This King can smell the aura of an Evil Cursed God from your body. Do you know that you are now in grave danger?" Shi Xiaobai said as he took a whiff around Hisith's body.
When everyone heard this, they felt at a loss. Hisith was in grave danger? What sort of worldly joke is that!
Hisith was also momentarily stunned. He did not feel irritated by Shi Xiaobai's "interesting" actions, so he smiled and said, "Oh? What danger?"
Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath and held it in for a moment.
"Through a space-time medium, Evil God Ssabis placed a hex on an item on your body, in the scheming hope that through contact with your skin, the hex will penetrate your body. If you do not throw this item quickly, you will suffer the pain of this Evil God's hex. You will be doomed for all eternity!"
Shi Xiaobai deliberately lowered his voice as if he were telling ghost stories at a campfire. His serious demeanor seemed to emphasize that what he said was true, and then he sternly said, "But don't worry. This King possess the Elf King's bloodline, and with the purest energy in this world, will be able to cleanse off every foul object. So, you must quickly give that cursed item to This King. This King will do his best to save you!"
"What item is it?" Hisith said with a smile, but there was no emotion in it.
Everyone pricked their ears even more. This bumpkin sure liked to exaggerate. Wasn't it just getting something from Hisith? What did he want from Hisith?
"Underwear!"
Shi Xiaobai answered with dead sobriety, as he pointed his fingers at Hisith's pants!
Everyone stared with widened eyes.
Shi Xiaobai knitted his eyebrows together and while still pointing at Hisith's pants, he bellowed, "Hurry up and give your underwear to This King! The Seed of the Evil God's aura is already emanating, his hex will soon cross the boundary of space and time, and descend onto your body. If that hex were to mix with your blood, This King will be helpless!"
"Hurry, hurry up and hand over your underwear!"
Shi Xiaobai's face looked extremely anxious. His terrified look made it as though something terrible would happen immediately.
The classroom fell into silence as a strange heavy atmosphere fell onto the classroom. Hisith's smile stiffened, and slowly disappeared. A cold aura began emanating from his body, and from afar, it looked like his body was at freezing point, as though he was frozen.
All the rookies in the classroom were dumbfounded by Shi Xiaobai's actions!
Wasn't underwear the most taboo of topics for Instructor Hisith?
Heavens, this bumpkin is doing it on purpose, right?
...
...
"Content of choice completed. Absolute Choice finished."
The fiery voice rang in his head as Shi Xiaobai heaved a sigh of relief. When he received the Absolute Choice, he had resisted performing the choice three times, and after a minute, he caused time to flow backwards. Finally, Shi Xiaobai could only resign himself to destiny.
Compared to asking Hisith for a first kiss, Shi Xiaobai felt that asking for his underwear was relatively acceptable.
Thankfully this Absolute Choice was an execution type choice. He just needed to ask Hisith for his underwear, regardless of him succeeding or not. The Absolute Choice was completed when Shi Xiaobai said "hand over your underwear" loudly.
Shi Xiaobai deeply detested the "mischief-style choice". It was fine if the choice's content was odd, but there was no reward!
"Days without rewards is insufferable for This King!"
Shi Xiaobai sighed in his heart, but suddenly he realized that the classroom had fallen into a strange silence. A cold aura seemed to creep up to him as he couldn't help but raise his head.
He saw Hisith's face cold. His narrowed eyes were filled with killing intent as though he was looking at a fish that was about to die.
"This K...I was just making a joke..."
Shi Xiaobai felt a sense of trepidation suffuse from his heart. When he tried retreating, he realized he could not move at all.
"Joke? Heh heh, then let me play a joke with you."
Hisith's cold voice squeezed out from his mouth. As he spoke, he waved his hand, and a black barrier burst out with him in the middle of it. It enveloped the entire platform, with only himself and Shi Xiaobai in it.
Light could only diffuse into the black barrier, so it turned extremely dark.
"In this sealed domain, we can see outside, but people outside can't see us. So, you do not need to worry that others will disturb us. Oh, by the way, your screams will not leave this domain. Heh heh~"
Hisith sneered as his right hand flipped. Four poker cards appeared out of thin air in the middle of his fingers.
"My poker cards' suit, 'Clubs' happen to have the power of hexes. Now it is my turn to play a tiny joke on you."
Shi Xiaobai was beyond tears as he cursed in his heart how this perverse guy did not have a sense of humor.
Hisith chose one of the four poker cards and said, "The hex in this Seven of Clubs can make the target experience the pain of ten thousand snake bites. Don't worry, although it's a bit painful, you will not die. So enjoy it well, my playful toy!"
Hisith gave a wicked smile as he threw out the Underworld Poker from his hand, making it fly straight at Shi Xiaobai.
The poker card did not seem to fly very fast, and was in fact very slow. However, with Shi Xiaobai's body being restrained by an unknown force, he could not move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the poker card approached him...
"Sigh."
Suddenly, a sigh sounded, and at the same moment, a figure appeared out of thin air, in front of Shi Xiaobai. The finger reached out two fingers and caught Hisith's poker card.
"You are finally willing to appear?"
Hisith looked at the figure in front of Shi Xiaobai as his eyes narrowed. He sneered, "But I never expected that it was you."
"I never expected it was you, One-Pun."
Hisith smiled coldly with a tinge of disbelief.
The figure that suddenly appeared in front of Shi Xiaobai wore a white cape over a yellow tight-suit. His facial features were soft, and the top of his head was smooth, there was not a single strand of hair. It was the Hero, Baldy One-Pun, who had previously saved Shi Xiaobai from the hands of Sahadun!
After pinching the poker card, One-Pun gently threw it back into Hisith's hand. He sighed as he said, "You have been making things difficult for this child, wasn't it just to force me out? Now, are you satisfied?"
Hisith fell silent for a moment, but did not answer One-Pun. Instead, he asked, "Since you are the person who appeared, were you the one who cast a 'Realm Seal' on this little toy?"
One-Pun did not answer. He turned to take a glance at Shi Xiaobai who had a lingering fear. He suddenly took a step forward, and a black barrier emanated out from his body, enclosing Hisith and himself within. This black barrier was enclosed by Hisith's barrier, so there was a barrier within a barrier.
Shi Xiaobai immediately felt that intangible suppressive feeling disappear. His body regained its freedom.
"This King just heard the word 'Seal'. Do they already know that This King was sealed by the Evil Gods of the various worlds?"
Shi Xiaobai felt curious, but he quickly ignored his curiosity. He studied his surroundings and realized he was in the middle of two barriers. The black barrier was like a special glass that allowed him to see outside, but people on the outside could not see in.
Shi Xiaobai could see the rookies outside the bigger barrier talking, and was also able to hear their noisy discussion, but he could not see or hear One-Pun and Hisith inside the smaller barrier. Hisith's barrier isolated the three of them from the rookies, while One-Pun's barrier isolated Shi Xiaobai from the two of them.
Shi Xiaobai attempted punching the black shield but felt like he was smashing into steel. Having felt the pain, he could only depressingly give up his struggle. Out of boredom, he sat on the steel tiles on the ground, and began producing Psionic Power. He began controlling the Psionic Power's shape.
"This King will definitely produce a castle!"
Shi Xiaobai's eyes burned with intense fighting spirit!
...
...
The reason why One-Pun enclosed himself with Hisith in the small barrier was naturally because he did not want Shi Xiaobai to hear the conversation they would be having.
"The 'Realm Seal' was set up by me, so as to protect him." One-Pun calmly answered Hisith's question.
"Heh heh, I understand. That naughty little toy took just ten days to go from an ordinary mortal to the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. Such cultivation speed already overturns humanity's understanding. It would be difficult not to attract the attention of others. To protect him, you sealed his cultivation realm to the first level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. That is indeed the best method."
Hisith threw up his hand and said, "Although I'm similarly curious as to what sort of Cogitation method he used to achieve such a crazy cultivation speed, but the 'interest' he gives me far exceeds my curiosity. That's why I did not disturb your plan, and just helped him slightly so that he can grow faster."
One-Pun coldly said, "You tricked him in using 'Body Incineration Curse', and you call that slightly?"
Hisith frowned slightly and said, "You used "Divine Elf Water' on him, so the flames of the 'Body Incineration Curse' naturally won't burn him to death. Since he won't die even if he fails, why not make the bet? From the outcome, you should thank me."
One-Pun had a cold expression and did not say a word. If he ignored the process and just looked at the outcome, Hisith's method of accelerating growth through excessive means was indeed a success.
Hisith suddenly thought of something as he frowned, saying, "I thought that in this world, only Riko Minamiya will be treated specially by you. I never expected you to go through so much effort to set up a 'Realm Seal' on this little toy. You even wasted a drop of the sacred level item, 'Divine Elf Water'."
One-Pun fell silent as he said seriously, "According to the Elves' Pontifex Maximus' prophecy, the fourth Apocalypse will happen in the next forty years. When that happens, this child will become one of the hopes of all humanity. Since he is in [Gaia], we should be protecting him with all we got, so that he can mature smoothly."
"So that's the case. Since it has to do with the survival of humanity and world peace, it is understandable why you pay so much attention to him. Don't worry, he is now one of my beloved toys, so I will definitely protect him well."
Hisith smiled sinisterly. "However, a toy that maddens its owner has to be taught a good lesson. On this, I will not take a step back."
One-Pun said coldly, "Is your so-called lesson using a cruel hex like the 'Heart Devouring Snake Storm'? This child is only thirteen years old. He would not be able to withstand such a hex, and his mind might even collapse. You will be destroying him."
Hisith shrugged his shoulders and said, "What you said makes sense. I was a bit rash in my fit of anger. Since Seven of Clubs is too much, why not Three of Clubs?"
One-Pun shook his head and said, "Since I have appeared, I will not let you fool around. That child's heart is simple. For his first day here, he probably doesn't know about your taboos and definitely did not say that word deliberately. Since his act was purely unintentional, spare him, would you?"
"What if I say no?" Hisith's eyes turned cold as a chilling aura emanated from his body. Inside the barrier, it became a world of ice and snow.
"I will stop you." One-Pun slowly pulled out the blade from the scabbard by his waist. The blade's edge revealed a cold luster.
"Then I'll see you try!" Hisith roared out coldly. Inside the barrier, with a "Pu" sound, hundreds of poker cards appeared, hovering in mid air. It filled the entire barrier, surrounding One-Pun completely.
One-Pun sighed and unsheathed his blade. As he held it in his hand, his stance caused his white cape to flutter high up. The dull and lifeless eyes turned sharp, emitting a cold beam.
The numerous poker cards hovering mid air were about to move, while One-Pun's blade seemed like it would slash forwards.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
Suddenly, an alerting sound spontaneously chimed from their bodies. One-Pun and Hisith raised their right arms immediately and looked at something that looked like a watch. At the same time, their expressions changed.
"An A Class calamity!?"
"Meteor shower!?"
The two of them shouted two different things, but it seemed like they were referring to the same thing. They raised their heads and glanced at each other. A wry smile appeared between the two of them.
"It looks like we do not have time for this."
Hisith shrugged his shoulders as all the poker cards immediately disappeared. He said, "The A Class meteor shower calamity will take three hours to hit Southern Gold City. As S Class Heroes, we have to be there. We can still barely make it in time if we rush there now."
One-Pun nodded and sheathed his blade. At the same time, he removed the black barrier and after hesitating, he said, "You go first."
Hisith fell silent for a moment and took at a glance at Shi Xiaobai, who was squatting on the ground, attempting to produce a castle. He had a look of indignation in his eyes, but with a wave of his hand, he removed the black barrier he set up. Following that, he rushed out of the door with a speed like the wind, disappearing from sight.
With the barriers removed, the rookies were surprised to see One-Pun's figure. They immediately screamed.
"His Excellency, One-Pun!?"
"Holy shit, isn't this that...invincible One-Pun?"
"Heavens, I actually got to see my idol with my own eyes!"
"One of the three powerhouses of Gaia, ranked alongside Hisith, an S Class Hero! It's said that no one dares fight him!"
"I entered Gaia so that I could one day be able to meet His Excellency One-Pun. I never expected my dream to be realized so soon!"
"..."
When One-Pun heard those flattering words, his face went dull. After he stood there for a few minutes in silence, confirming that Hisith did not return, he nodded at the seated rookies. With a wave of his hand, he bade farewell, and rushed out the door at an extremely fast speed. Just like Hisith, he disappeared from everyone's vision.
Everyone was stunned as they began to engage in conversation, discussing what had happened vividly.
"This King succeeded!"
Suddenly, a pleasant yelp sounded from the platform, instantly attracting everyone's attention. They saw the squatting Shi Xiaobai suddenly stand up. He turned to look at everyone, and in his hands, there was a pure white object. Looking carefully, it was an exquisite-looking castle.
"This King's castle, completed!" Shi Xiaobai's bright smile shimmered like the stars.
Everyone was dumbfounded. How the fuck did he do that?
That's not right, why are you so fucking calm, sitting there playing with yourself?
At this moment, a poker card fell from the top of the building. It gently landed on Shi Xiaobai's shoulder.
