  Chapter107 A teammate that accidentally harms you

  The numeric display numbers jumped a little, but it eventually came to a stop at "4.1". This number represented the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm.

  "Is the device broken!?"

  After Riko let out a tiny invective, she gradually calmed down. To go from an ordinary person to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm in less than twenty days was something no fucking person would believe!

  Riko grabbed the Psionic Power measuring device and released all her Psionic Power. However, when she looked at the display numbers, she was immediately stunned.

  "The device...isn't broken."

  Riko swallowed a mouthful of saliva with great difficult. From the result of her own tests, the device was not malfunctioning. In that case, Shi Xiaobai had truly reached the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm?

  To rise four levels In less than twenty days and even cross a major cultivation step?

  "How did you do it?"

  Riko's gaze was riveted to Shi Xiaobai. She had just exaggerated about how difficult it was to reach the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, but it ended with Shi Xiaobai giving her a huge surprise. That's not right, this wasn't a surprise, Riko was already beginning to doubt life!

  Shi Xiaobai was also wondering why he had broken through to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm.

  Wasn't there supposed to be a major step?

  Shi Xiaobai sighed in his heart.

  Indeed, as a King, life was just a flat plain, so how can there be any steps?

  Upon hearing Riko's question, he could not help but say in a high-spirited manner, "There is nothing This King can't do!"

  ...

  ...

  After Riko's "interrogation by torture", she finally found out that Shi Xiaobai had already reached the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm after his first deep Cogitation that lasted ten consecutive days. As for when or how he broke through to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, Shi Xiaobai expressed that he had no idea either.

  In this regard, Riko felt the impulse of turning his delicate-looking face into a pig's head.

  She considered herself a genius. Not only did she possess a B Class superpower, the speed at which she cultivated was one of the best amongst her peers, but compared to Shi Xiaobai...

  Alright, this is a monster. Comparing to him was just asking for trouble!

  "Since This King has already reached the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, does that mean that This King can use superpowers?"

  Shi Xiaobai suddenly thought of the matter. Didn't reaching the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm mean that his superpowers would be awoken? Why didn't he feel anything?

  Riko was stunned. Supposedly, Psykers who broke through to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm would fall into a deep sleep for a short period of time. They would experience an awakening dream, in which they would instinctively awaken their superpowers and then learn from the dream the effects of their superpowers, as well as the superpower's conditions and limitations.

  Since Shi Xiaobai had already reached the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, he should have experienced this awakening dream.

  Hold on...awakening dream!

  A bead of cold sweat oozed out of Riko's forehead as she asked with a shiver, "Erh, Xiaobai, just now when I woke you up, were you having a dream. And it was an extremely clear one, a dream that you can still remember very well up to now?"

  Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai could not help but recall the dream with millions of golden people turning to enchanted swords. It was indeed very clear, so he immediately nodded.

  "*Sob*, I'm sorry, I have harmed you."

  Riko was close to tears. She could never have expected Shi Xiaobai to reach the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm in such a short period of time. If she had known better, she wouldn't have been so excited when she got home to wake Shi Xiaobai up on a whim.

  The awakening dream was only experienced once by a Psyker. If the dream was interrupted midway, then one would only have a vague understanding of their own superpowers. It required constant trial and error to fully understand the effects, limitations and conditions for the superpower that had been awoken.

  If superpowers were described as high-tech products, then the awakening dream was the indispensable manual.

  By missing out on the awakening dream, it was equivalent to proceeding forward blindly. It could be said to be catastrophic for Espers.

  ...

  Riko hurriedly called her teacher, One-Pun, for help. If Shi Xiaobai was unable to use his superpowers because of something she did on a whim, she would never be able to forgive herself.

  After a phone call that lasted more than ten minutes, Riko finally calmed down. This was because One-Pun said that there was still hope even if the awakening dream was interrupted!

  "The awakening dream can be repeated, but it will not be a perfect repeat. Only a portion of it can be repeated, while the remaining will have to be figured out by you."

  Riko gave her deepest apologies to Shi Xiaobai. "It's all my fault. I will do my very best to help you work out your superpower blueprint. If...you still choose to trust me."

  A superpower blueprint was considered the most important secret of every Psyker because it contained every single aspect of the Psyker’s superpower. But now, Shi Xiaobai had to reveal his superpower blueprint because of the need for a trial and error.

  Riko hoped that she could become the subject of Shi Xiaobai's experimentation because she would spare no effort in helping him figure the superpower blueprint out. Furthermore, she would rather die than reveal the secrets to Shi Xiaobai's superpower.

  Of course, this was all wishful thinking on her own part. The main issue was if Shi Xiaobai was still willing to trust her.

  He probably wouldn't believe in her ever again, right?

  "This King believes you. You are a member of my Xiaobai's Hero Squad, and you belong to This King. This King will not doubt your loyalty and sincerity." Shi Xiaobai said matter-of-factly. He knew that Riko had unintentionally awoken him from the awakening dream, so he naturally did not blame her.

  Riko responded with a gentle "uh". This was the first time she felt that joining the Xiaobai's Hero Squad was quite a good thing.

  "Then let us begin. First, you need to enter a specific form of Cogitation. When that happens, I will instruct you on how to reproduce your awakening dream. The reappearance of it will be very short and would even be a bit blurry. You must do everything to gather as much information about your superpower. Every bit of information is critical."

  ...

  Minutes later, under Riko's guidance, Shi Xiaobai completed the specific form of Cogitation.

  Riko took a deep breath and said, "Now, look around you. Do you see a pure white door? That is the Door of Superpower. Walk in there, and it will bring you to the world of the awakening dream."

  Shi Xiaobai was currently immersed in his imagined world. He was surrounded by a beautiful world but when he heard Riko's words, he looked around and immediately found the pure white door Riko mentioned.

  However, beside the pure white door, he also saw a pure black door of the same shape and size.

  "Enter the white door?" Shi Xiaobai could not help but ask.

  "Yes, enter the white door!" Riko answered.

  Shi Xiaobai's consciousness came in front of the white and black doors. Suddenly he quivered as he felt like something inside the black door of darkness was calling out to him. It had an intense desire.

  As for the white door, it seemed to have a soft aura to it that attracted him to enter.

  Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment but decided to trust Riko. He took a step towards the pure white door, and immediately, the pure black door suddenly issued an angry roar.

  Shi Xiaobai struggled for a moment before he finally decided to step into the pure white door. And when he did so, he immediately felt a
sense of weightlessness, as though he had fallen through the void.

  Immediately following that, gigantic swords suddenly appeared in front of him as they flickered in the dark.

  After that, thunderous voices after voices began to boom.

  These voices were of both men and women, young and old. Their voices were clear, but the words they said were unintelligible.

  Shi Xiaobai had no idea what bird-speak they were saying!

  Chapter108 Strength comes from Oppai

  "Phew!"

  Shi Xiaobai exhaled the deep breath he had held in as he gradually opened up his eyes. The first thing he saw was Riko's beautiful but nervous face.

  "How is it? How much information did you get?"

  Riko was feeling uneasy since the repeat of the awakening dream was brief. It only skimmed the surface, so the information gained about the superpower would be greatly lacking.

  However, the amount of information obtained would determine how difficult it was to reproduce the entire superpower blueprint.

  Shi Xiaobai answered, "This King roughly knows what his superpower is."

  "Really?"

  Riko was delighted as she asked, "Quick, tell me about the information you gathered."

  Shi Xiaobai said, "Strength. This King can obtain the strength of others."

  Riko was surprised as she asked, "Huh? Anymore?"

  Shi Xiaobai cocked his head and gave it some thought before he threw up his hands and said, "That was it."

  Riko stared widely.

  What do you mean that was it?

  Riko gave a faint sigh. Although she should not have expected to obtain much information from the repeat of the awakening dream, she had never expected that all he got was such vague information.

  To be able to obtain powers from others meant that it was the effect, but what about the condition to obtain strength? What sort of limitations would there be to obtain strength from others?

  To be able to use his superpower freely, he had to be extremely clear of the three rules, namely, effects, conditions and limitations. A complete superpower blueprint was extremely important.

  The information Shi Xiaobai had obtained was just a tip of an iceberg, it might even not be able to amount to the tip of an iceberg.

  However, Riko knew it was not the time to grumble over this. It was all her fault, so she had to restore Shi Xiaobai's perfect superpower blueprint or she would never feel at ease.

  "Do you know how to obtain powers from others? For example, must you do a specific move or do certain things?"

  Riko made an attempted guess.

  Shi Xiaobai was momentarily taken aback before he pondered for a while. Then, he nodded and said, "This King seems to know how."

  Indeed, he had a vague idea how to obtain the strength of others in his mind.

  "Really?"

  Riko was pleasantly surprised to hear this. As long as the method to use the superpower was known, she could figure out the superpower blueprint by constant experimentation. She hurriedly said, "Then quick give it a try! Well, you can use me as the target. Obtain your power from my body!"

  It was actually a very dangerous thing to be the target of a superpower experiment. Only the Heavens knew what strength really meant. It was unknown if it would harm her body if her strength was taken away or if her strength could be restored or if the superpower could be returned.

  However, Riko could not care so much. She blamed herself for everything that had happened, so she believed she had the responsibility to become Shi Xiaobai's experimental subject. She had to take responsibility for this matter, regardless of the price.

  "Are you sure?"

  Shi Xiaobai asked with knitted brows. He had a nagging feeling that the method to obtaining power was somewhat...

  Riko felt a thump in her heart upon hearing this. She knew that with Shi Xiaobai's character, it was unlikely he would ask such a question. Being direct was his style, but with him asking, it proved that the usage of the superpower was extremely damaging to the target.

  There was a struggle in Riko's eyes but it quickly calmed down. She took a deep breath and said seriously, "I'm sure. Come on!"

  Riko puffed up her chest, indicating that she did not mind sacrificing herself.

  "Alright, then This King won't stand on ceremony."

  Shi Xiaobai did not hesitate any further. Being direct was definitely his style.

  Shi Xiaobai slowly reached out his right hand towards Riko.

  While Riko looked at the right hand that was gradually approaching her, she could not help but feel nervous. Even though she told herself that she was willing to sacrifice herself, it was common for humans to fear the unknown.

  Riko closed her eyes with a bit of apprehension. She began cheering on herself in her mind.

  Come on, even if it will result in excruciating pain when strength is extracted, that is the responsibility you have to bear!

  Riko closed her eyes tightly as she held her breath. She nervously waited for Shi Xiaobai to use his superpower on her.

  Suddenly, Riko was horrified to find her perky, left breast being grabbed by someone!

  That holy ground of softness had been grabbed gently with five fingers making full contact with it. A numbness immediately spread throughout her body!

  "Ah!"

  Having her breast attacked, Riko gave out an instinctive yelp as she hurriedly jumped back and covered her chest with her hands. She stared in disbelief at Shi Xiaobai's wandering hands that had yet retracted from its grip.

  "Why!?"

  Riko looked at a blinking Shi Xiaobai that had a completely pure expression. She could not believe that he had used such a shameless method to desecrate the holy land that no one else had ever touched!

  Riko's face blushed red as her eyes began to slightly swell in redness.

  "I have always thought of you as a good person. I never expected you to be such a Shi Xiaobai!"

  Riko was both embarrassed and furious. Even if she had made a mistake, it was unintentional. Besides, she had been doing her best to make up for it.

  Why did he treat her like that? Why did he use such a humiliating way to take his revenge on her?

  "Strength!"

  Shi Xiaobai suddenly reached out his hand as he pointed at Riko's covered chest. He calmly said, "Didn't you allow This King to obtain strength from your body? Strength is in there!"

  Upon hearing this, Riko stood open-eyed and agape with speechless astonishment. Shi Xiaobai's superpower usage target was female breasts?

  ...

  ...

  Minutes later, after Shi Xiaobai's perplexing explanation, Riko finally managed to calm down. However, her cheeks were still as red as an apple.

  "So, the strength you want to obtain is in my...*cough*, there?"

  Riko was so embarrassed that she could not even bring up the matter. She had yet to engage in the worldly pleasures, and she was even a pure and innocent girl who had never even dated. So how could she bring up the matter for discussion after having her sensitive spot grabbed?

  Shi Xiaobai nodded and said, "That's right."

  "Hu, why didn't you tell me earlier!" Riko began knitting her eyebrows.

  "You didn't ask." Shi Xiaobai said matter-of-factly.

  Riko was stunned silent.

  Indeed, she did not ask in her nervousness, but don't you know that you need to ask for someone's opinion if you were grabbing that spot? Do you know what is sexual harassment?

  Hmph, this bastard must be doing it on purpose. He is nothing but a young pervert!

  Riko cursed in her heart as she said with a bitter face, "Must...you grab there to be able to use your superpower?"

  Wasn't this superpower limitation too fucked up? It could only be used by grabbing a girl's breast?

  If that was the case, how was she to become his experimental subject…?

  She ha
d nearly suffered a mental breakdown when her breast was grabbed without any warning. If they had to repeat the experiment, wouldn't she die of embarrassment?

  Shi Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, "It seems like it just needs to be close."

  "What!?"

  Riko stared widely as she boomed angrily, "Then why did you grab my boo...there!"

  Riko reached out her hands to press down on Shi Xiaobai's shoulders, her eyes burning with flames.

  "Because...This King was very curious!"

  Shi Xiaobai said in dead seriousness.

  ...

  Oppai is the Japanese term for boobs

  Chapter109 Oppai is also justice

  Shi Xiaobai remembered his former roommate, Yang Wei, say to him, "White Eventide Heretic King, do you know what is justice? Justice is a babe's oppai! Oppai is the softest existence in the entire world. It is multifarious, as it warms the world and feeds people! Justice is the noble goal of our lifelong pursuits. So for our dreams, we must grasp babes, and grasp their oppai!"

  Shi Xiaobai had been skeptical when he heard this, but he never had an opportunity to put it into practice. But at that moment, with a perky oppai held out in front of him, he could no longer repress the curiosity in his heart, which resulted in him...

  "Sigh, This King is greatly disappointed. This is not justice at all."

  Shi Xiaobai's eyes were filled with disappointment. After grabbing oppai, other than it being soft and somewhat springy, there was no other feeling. This—was not the justice he wanted!

  "Shi! Xiao! Bai!"

  Riko gnashed her teeth as she bellowed. She pounced at Shi Xiaobai like an enraged lioness.

  In fact, when Shi Xiaobai noticed Riko's embarrassed expression, he had realized he had done something wrong. So with some hesitation, he did not use Crab Steps to dodge.

  As a result...the tragic scene of an enraged beautiful girl ravaging a cute youth came to play. The large scale of the tragedy, the epic loss of humanity, the moral turpitude...please imagine it yourself.

  ...

  Ten minutes later, Riko, who had finally managed to calm herself down, reluctantly stopped wrecking Shi Xiaobai. Shi Xiaobai, who had been pinched blue and black, could only draw a cold gasp and reflect on his plight.
