"By the way, since Xiaobai is at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, can he participate in the mass selection?"
Riko suggested.
"What is the mass selection?"
Shi Xiaobai was chewing on the food in his mouth. He had been asleep for three days and had just woken up, so he naturally did not know about the two factions' collective training.
Riko was stunned for a moment before she patiently explained.
Moments later, Shi Xiaobai understood the specific meaning. After some thought, he asked, "What are the benefits of participating in the collective training?"
Riko rolled her eyes and said, "The Hero Association will definitely invest large amounts of resources into the collective training. It is an opportunity for every rookie to become stronger that cannot be missed! Furthermore, the collective training is open to the entire country. It will greatly increase one's fame. If one performs well in the collective training, it is very likely that they will gain a large number of fans. It is very possible for them to become a Celebrity Hero in the future! "
This world's idolatry was different from Earth's. The main targets of idolatry were Heroes. Celebrity Heroes were Heroes that were recognized by the media as "celebrities". Just the advertising fees and endorsement fees for such Heroes were enough to last them a lifetime.
More importantly, every word a Celebrity Hero said or did would garner the adoration and support of fans. To a Hero, weren't honor, stage and supporters the most important things?
Hence, for more than 95% of Heroes, becoming a Celebrity Hero was their number one goal. And the collective training that was open to the entire country was the best opportunity for rookies to debut.
"However …"
Riko said with a sheepish smile, "However, it's best you don't have too much hope. It's not that I want to discourage you, but you are only at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. The chances of you becoming one of the twenty people in the collective training is nearly zero."
From Riko's point of view, the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm was the lowest requirement. There was no lack of geniuses at the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm who participated in the selection. Furthermore, Shi Xiaobai had not been cultivating for long. His combat skills were definitely far behind others.
There would definitely be a large number of people in the selection who had grasped combat skills at the Familiarized Proficiency level. There might even be a small number of people who had reached the Exemplary Mastery level!
It was unknown if Shi Xiaobai had grasped a basic combat skill or two.
"However, it's good to give it a try. Even if he fails, it will still be a valuable experience."
Riko still wished that Shi Xiaobai could give it a try. Humans needed to experience setbacks and failures before they could grow.
Kali snickered in her heart when she heard this. From the looks of it, her understanding of Shi Xiaobai was far ahead.
Although Shi Xiaobai was at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, even Xiao Xiao, who was at the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, could not do a thing to him. With his Crab Steps at the Dominating Refinement realm, it was difficult for anyone in the Psionic Mortal Realm to easily defeat him.
Upon thinking of this, Kali's gaze softened. She had seen Shi Xiaobai's hard work. He had not slept or rested for seven consecutive days, and despite experiencing more than 2000 failures, he remained resolute. Such a Shi Xiaobai made her feel both pained and moved.
Shi Xiaobai did not think too much about it as he nodded and said, "Then let's participate."
His thinking was very simple. He just wanted to become stronger. As for whether he could pass the selection and whether he would fail, he didn't care.
Before a king could be invincible, he would have to experience countless failures.
Instead, he was looking forward to the contestants that Li Zi mentioned to be able to defeat him. It would be best if they could be like Thomas, making it difficult for him to surpass them and keep chasing after them. In this way, he would be able to surpass his limits again and again.
"Alright!"
Seeing Shi Xiaobai agree so readily, Riko immediately nodded happily. After some thought, she decided to settle the matter as soon as possible. Hence, she picked up her cell phone and walked down the corridor.
She wanted to call her father to ask about the time and related matters of the Annihilation division's internal selection.
.....
At this moment, there was only Shi Xiaobai and Kali left in the living room.
Shi Xiaobai continued eating as though nothing had happened.
Kali hesitated for a moment before she got up and walked to Shi Xiaobai's side.
Shi Xiaobai turned to look at her.
Kali gave a gentle smile and suddenly raised her hand to gently lift the white eyepatch covering her left eye, revealing a beautiful and sacred golden pupil.
With just a glance, Shi Xiaobai's mind was completely attracted by the golden radiance in the pupil. He momentarily forgot to breathe.
The golden pupil seemed to be filled with the most sacred light in the world. On a careful look, there was a tiny black dot in the middle of the golden pupil that could only be seen up close. The black dot was like a black hole that sucked Shi Xiaobai's soul deep into it.
The golden eye and the black dot were like a black sun that had condensed the entire night in the boundless light.
Shi Xiaobai stared with widened eyes as he raised his head high. His body slowly left the stool as he slowly brought his eyes closer to the golden pupil.
He wanted to get closer to the eye as he wanted to see it even more clearly.
His forehead touched hers.
Soon, the tip of his nose touched hers.
Suddenly, Shi Xiaobai felt a soft and moist object quickly and gently touch his lips.
Her lips touched his lips.
After Kali kissed him lightly, she immediately turned around and said with a trembling voice with her back facing Shi Xiaobai, "This is … This is Lovers' Contract 2.0! You … You are not allowed to be promiscuous, much less have a change of heart. Do you understand? "
"I … I'll be leaving first."
After Kali said that, she once again hid into the light as though she was escaping, disappearing from the room.
Shi Xiaobai blinked his eyes and sighed.
"It looks like This King has been slacking recently. To think that This King did not know that the Lovers' Contract has a 2.0 version. Sigh, forget it. The next time I see her, I'll definitely let her have a taste of the Lovers' Contract 3.0 This King created!"
…
…
The next morning, Shi Xiaobai woke up early under Riko's urging. According to the information Riko obtained, Annihilation division's internal selection was today!
"All the best. During the selection, I'll be watching by the side. Of course, don't even think about being a cheerleader. I'll support you in spirit."
Before Shi Xiaobai left, Riko exhorted, "Go to the training grounds first. I'll be there shortly. By the way, take note to hide your strength. No one should know that you have broken through to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. Hmph, this will definitely be a huge surprise! "
After Shi Xiaobai finished his breakfast, he took the taxi that Riko had called for him to the training grounds. It was still early, so when Shi Xiaobai arrived at the training classroom, there were only two people inside.
To Shi Xiaobai, they were two unfamiliar faces. He only gave them a glance before finding a random spot to sit down. He closed his eyes and began Cogitation cultivation.
During Cogitation cultivation, he could enter a world of his imagination, freely creating a world that belonged to him. Furthermore, he could increase his Psionic Ability realm. Hence, Shi Xiaobai would enter Cogitation cultivation whenever he had the time. Last night, he had even used Cogitation to replace sleep.
Shi Xiaobai's meditative state was extremely fast. In just a few seconds, he had entered a Cogitation state.
(PS: Kali Chan's extreme counterattack. However, the war between flat-chested and promiscuous will never end!) (To be continued.)
