In fact, the Massage Technique of God was not as powerful as imagined. It similarly had limitations and flaws. For example, the Divine Massage of Giving Spring to Withered Wood could allow the person being massaged to recover their psionic power, but it was not giving psionic power out of nothing. The principle behind it was to greatly accelerate the recovery of the person's psionic power, so as to achieve the effect of recovering psionic power in a short period of time.
However, the amount of acceleration was fixed. With Shi Xiaobai's proficiency in Familiarized Proficiency, accelerating Mozzie and Kevin's psionic power recovery was naturally very effective. However, if he were to massage a mighty figure like One-Pun, the effects would be extremely minute.
This was because One-Pun could easily expend psionic power. With Shi Xiaobai's fixed acceleration, it was like pouring a bottle of mineral water into a lake.
The Massage Technique of God actually had quite a number of limitations. For example, although it increased one's Mind Expanse in name, it was actually a massage technique that made one's thoughts clearer. It would excessively stimulate the nerves in the temples, so it needed a long period of time before it could be used again. For example, raising one's bloodline purity required the body to be able to withstand it. Similarly, it needed a period of time before it could be used again.
Furthermore, as an offensive skill, the Massage Technique of God was practically useless in battle. Shi Xiaobai had basically never used the Massage Technique of God in battle. This was because this move required him to be in close proximity. Furthermore, it was too slow. Only when he was surrounded by Zeus and the other rookies could he secretly use it while they were careless.
However, although the Massage Technique of God had many limitations, Shi Xiaobai still felt that the Massage Technique of God lived up to its name as a B-level reward. This was because the Massage Technique of God was too versatile. As a support skill, it was nearly a godly skill.
But now, the Massage Technique of God had finally revealed a rather major flaw. It was actually immune!
This made Shi Xiaobai have no choice but to begin considering how to rationally allocate the usage of the Massage Technique of God. For example, at this moment, Mozzie was nearly immune to the Massage Technique of God's resistance. If he were to continue using the Divine Massage of Giving Spring to Withered Wood on her, she would be completely immune to it. Then, he would no longer be able to raise her bloodline purity!
Shi Xiaobai mentioned this possibility to Mozzie. Mozzie resolutely chose to use the Massage Technique of God to raise her bloodline purity. When Kevin heard this, he also expressed that he did not want to waste the chance of using the Massage Technique of God to recover his psionic power.
Hence, in the latter half of the actual combat training, Mozzie and Kevin began to pay attention to the expenditure of their Psionic Power. The speed at which they cleared the 'medium difficulty' stone doors became slower and slower. Every time they stopped to rest, the amount of time they took to rest also increased. There were a few times when they revealed a huge flaw due to their Psionic Power deficit. If not for Shi Xiaobai and Sunless helping them at any time, they might have been seriously injured or even died.
However, Mozzie and Kevin did not request to stop cultivating. They gritted their teeth and persisted. They did not grumble or feel discouraged. This was because they knew that every minute they had was a tremendous improvement for them.
Shi Xiaobai did not make the two of them stop either. Even though he was no longer using the Massage Technique of God on them, to the point where his Massage Technique of God's proficiency was still a distance away from the Exemplary Mastery realm, Shi Xiaobai did not choose to use other methods to complete it. Instead, he silently accompanied Mozzie and Kevin in their actual combat training.
In fact, even though Mozzie and Kevin had worked so hard, there was still an insurmountable gap between them and the super rookies like Sunless, Pulp Farmer, and Heartless. The chances of them becoming one of the top ten for the collective training remained extremely slim.
However, Shi Xiaobai was always a person who believed in miracles. He did not mind failure. Even if Mozzie and Kevin ultimately failed to become one of the top ten for the collective training, it did not affect his efforts. This was because compared to being indifferent to the desolation in Mozzie and Kevin's eyes, this was a choice he would never regret.
Time passed and after an unknown period of time.
Mozzie and Kevin repeatedly exceeded their limits, but they eventually reached their limits. However, they did not want to stop before they were so exhausted that they could not move.
However, a resounding voice forced them to stop.
"This level's Level Lord [Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign] will descend in three minutes. The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign will traverse the crystalline grounds and the various stone doors. Everyone, please speed up!"
.....
In three minutes, the Level Lord, the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign, would descend!
This news caught everyone off guard. Just like that, eleven hours had passed!
Mozzie and Kevin's faces instantly turned extremely pale. They were immersed in the joy of becoming stronger. Not only did they forget the passage of time, they had even forgotten about this matter!
As for Shi Xiaobai and Sunless, they clearly did not take the matter to heart.
Mozzie's lips trembled slightly as she said, "We only have 650 points now. Passing through this stone door will only give us 750 points. It's too late …"
Kevin looked at Shi Xiaobai and Sunless and said apologetically, "The Level Lord's strength far exceeds the Psionic Mortal Realm. Even if all the trial-takers join forces, it will be very difficult to defeat the Level Lord. All we can do is try our best to avoid it. Sorry, I've harmed the both of you. "
Shi Xiaobai said softly, "There's no need to apologize. There's no need for you to be too pessimistic either. We are just short of 250 points, right?"
Mozzie suddenly thought of something as her face turned pale. She said, "Lord Shi Xiaobai, the Level Lord will descend into the crystalline grounds in the beginning. We have to meet up with Sister Yuesheng as soon as possible or she will be in danger!"
Since the Level Lord would traverse between the crystalline grounds and the various stone doors, the crystalline grounds would definitely be the first place to face danger. As for the trial-takers that hid in the stone doors, it would depend on their luck. After all, there were many stone doors, so the Level Lord might not be able to find them in a short period of time.
However, every additional minute meant more danger. Now, it was equivalent to them being in a race against time!
Although Shi Xiaobai was not afraid of the so-called Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign, he was worried that the four people beside him would be eliminated in the ambush. He calmly made a judgment and exchanged glances with Sunless. Immediately, they could read each other's thoughts.
The two of them nodded to each other and turned around to rush out at an extremely fast speed. Thankfully, they had already arrived at the guardian boss of the 'medium difficulty' stone door. As long as they finished off the guardian boss, they could clear the level and meet up with Mu Yuesheng.
Shi Xiaobai and Sunless used all their strength!
The two of them were powerful to begin with, so with them using all their strength, killing the 'medium difficulty' guardian legion and guardian boss was as easy as chopping vegetables.
In less than a minute, more than a hundred guardian legions and the gigantic guardian boss had been completely wiped out!
Mozzie and Kevin were astounded. They believed that they had become a lot stronger, or at least had closed the gap, but it turned out that there was still an immeasurable gap between them and Shi Xiaobai and Sunless.
Were all super rookie rookies this powerful?
No, even super rookies should not be this powerful. It should be said that the two of them had already exceeded the boundaries of super rookies!
.....
When the quartet returned to the crystalline grounds once again, Mu Yuesheng was the only one waiting alone in the vast crystalline grounds. The other rookies had already fled into the stone doors in a panic. The crystalline grounds, which was meant to be used for rest and adjustment, had become the most dangerous place.
Now, there was less than a minute left before the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign's descent.
Shi Xiaobai did not waste any time. He quickly searched through the remaining stone doors that had yet to be opened. There were two other types of stone doors that they had not attempted. Now that they were in a race against time, it was naturally best to resolve them with a single door. However, they were short of 250 points. The reward points for a 'hard difficulty' stone door was unlikely to be that high.
In that case, they had to choose the 'hell difficulty' stone door!
Shi Xiaobai carefully observed the remaining two stone doors. His intuition was not something that always existed, and at this moment, his intuition did not appear!
He could not rely on his intuition to determine which door was' hell difficulty ', so he could only rely on logical guesses!
In front of him, there was a stone door with a mountain engraved on it. On the mountain was a tiny tree sapling, while the other stone door had a lifelike pair of dragons playing with a pearl.
Kevin noticed that Shi Xiaobai seemed to be in a predicament, so he hurriedly said, "I believe that this pair of dragons playing with a pearl is more like 'hell difficulty'. China's dragons are one of the most noble creatures, so the meaning behind the pair of dragons playing with a pearl is even more profound. Furthermore …"
Kevin began to analyze it eloquently.
"Alright, This King understands!"
Shi Xiaobai nodded his head gratefully before pushing open the stone door with the mountain engraved on it. He then walked in.
Kevin: "…"
Did he say something wrong?
.....
"Welcome to Stone Door # 233 [Magical Beast Forbidden Mountain]. This stone door's difficulty is' hell 'difficulty. Please kill the guardian BOSS [Titan Ape]."
Kevin stared with widened eyes. This stone door was really 'hell' difficulty?
Shi Xiaobai patted Kevin on the shoulder and said with a grin, "Very good, your judgment is as always … inaccurate!"
Kevin was immediately rendered speechless when he heard this. Shi Xiaobai was actually using his judgment to make a judgment. Was Shi Xiaobai that confident that his judgment was wrong? Was he that inaccurate?
How could he use such a childish method at such a critical moment!?
Ah pui, Shi Xiaobai is still that Shi Xiaobai after all. Back when he was a mentor, he thought he was a different person!
With this thought in mind, Kevin slowly revealed a smile. Previously, he found Shi Xiaobai to be irritating, but now, from a different perspective, he realized that although Shi Xiaobai rendered him speechless, it made him feel at ease.
Mozzie and Mu Yuesheng gave a knowing smile. Sunless' eyes also flashed with a smile.
At this moment, the resounding voice boomed once again.
"The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign has entered Stone Door # 666. All trial-takers in Stone Door # 666 …"
The authoritative voice suddenly turned into a hoarse and sharp voice. With a terrifying tone, it spat out two words — "Run!"
All trial-takers in Stone Door # 666, run!
With this said, the rookies that were still on the third level felt the terrifying pressure from the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign. At the same time, they were silently praying for the rookies in Stone Door # 666, hoping that they could last a little longer, so as to buy them more time!
Shi Xiaobai and company did not stay any longer. They began heading towards the core region of the Magical Beast Forbidden Mountain. They were currently in the periphery of the mountain range, so the demonic beasts they encountered were few and relatively weak. Shi Xiaobai, Sunless, and Mu Yuesheng dealt with the demonic beasts while Mozzie and Kevin silently recovered their psionic power.
The group advanced at an extremely fast speed, and soon, they arrived in the middle of the periphery.
However, just three minutes later, the voice that resounded through the heavens and earth rang out again!
"The Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign has entered Stone Door # 233. All trial-takers in Stone Door # 233 … Run!"
In just three minutes, all the rookies in Stone Door # 666 had been eliminated?
Wait, Stone Door # 233!?
Wasn't that the stone door Shi Xiaobai and company were currently in?
"Our luck sure is out of this world."
.....
(PS: The six chapters of Mozzie and Kevin becoming stronger were not meant to show how powerful the Massage Technique of God was, but to show that Shi Xiaobai's combat understanding and teaching abilities were very strong. Therefore, do not dwell on the Massage Technique of God. As you wish, a limit has been given. This limit was actually foreshadowed by me a long time ago … Also, to think that it was unreasonable for Mozzie and Kevin to be stronger than super rookies in less than ten hours. Isn't that groundless worry? How could I write such an unreasonable plot … This foreshadowing was not to allow them to defeat super rookies. You will know once you read on. I can give you a tiny hint. Why did they become stronger in such a direction? None of this foreshadowing was written blindly.)
