Absolute Choice 3 Read online

  "Can it be because the strength is too powerful?" Riko analyzed. "The obtaining of strength definitely has limitations. Her Excellency Kali's strength is too powerful for Xiaobai, so not being able to obtain it should be considered normal."

  Kali could only nod in agreement after hearing this. Indeed, if Shi Xiaobai could directly obtain her strength...then the superpower was probably far beyond SSS Class.

  "Looks like I have to do it!"

  At this moment, Riko said, "I'll be the experimental subject!"

  Riko was willing to let herself be touched once or twice for Her Excellency Kali's purity!

  However, Kali was stunned.

  What was the meaning of this? What do you mean you do it?

  Alright, you have all the say with big boobs!

  Kali was very hurt.

  ...

  ...

  Half an hour later, under Kali's stringent supervision, Shi Xiaobai completed nearly ten experiments without touching Riko.

  After the experiments, they did not come up with any other theories. The duration of the "sword" indeed depended on the target's mental resistance. Every time Riko strongly resisted, the "sword" would disappear.

  Furthermore, Shi Xiaobai could indeed use the "sword" to use High Frequency Vibrokinesis. However, Shi Xiaobai could only temporarily rely on instinct to use it, and not freely use it as he wished.

  What made Riko completely speechless that Shi Xiaobai could use High Frequency Vibrokinesis through the "sword" without any conditions or limitations! As for her, she had a lot of conditions and limitations when she used High Frequency Vibrokinesis!

  Shi Xiaobai's superpower was indeed a freak of nature. However, it did have quite a bit of conditions and limitations too.

  However, as they had only one sample, there were many things that were still uncertain.

  For example, must the target only be female?

  Would the thing pulled out necessarily be a "sword"?

  Would the strength of the "sword" be directly related to a superpower?

  Was the duration of the "sword" purely related to the target's resistance, or were there other determining factors?

  All in all, there were still many questions regarding Shi Xiaobai's superpower, but there was just too few subjects for experimentation, so there was no way to get the exact answer.

  ...

  ...

  By the end of the last experiment, the sky had darkened. Riko volunteered herself to cook dinner and Kali decided to stay behind for dinner. Although she did not need to eat, she could not sit idle when she imagined the scene of Riko and Shi Xiaobai eating dinner together alone once she left.

  "Hmph, Xiaobai and I are boyfriend and girlfriend who have signed a lovers' pact..."

  Kali comforted herself as she looked at Shi Xiaobai with an unfriendly look.

  During the meal, Shi Xiaobai was no longer wolfing down the food as before. However, he did not become restricted because of the two cute girls sitting beside him. He ate as he pleased.

  Riko and Kali's gaze also turned soft at this moment.

  "Right, since Xiaobai is now at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, is he able to join in the selection for collective training?"

  Riko suddenly thought of this matter. Previously, she was of the opinion that Shi Xiaobai had fallen back too much, so she did not carry any hopes. But now, things were different. Shi Xiaobai was already at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. Although it was unknown how good his combat skills were, there was still a chance for him to obtain a recommendation ticket for Annihilation division!

  Chapter112 Lovers' Pact 2.0

  "Right, since Xiaobai is now at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, doesn’t that mean he is able to participate in the collective training selection?" Riko suggested the possibility.

  "What's the collective training selection?" Shi Xiaobai asked as he continued munching on his food. Having just awoken after sleeping for three consecutive days, he naturally did not know of the news regarding the two faction's collective training.

  Riko was momentarily stunned before she explained patiently to him.

  Moments later, Shi Xiaobai got a general gist of it and with a thought, he asked, "What are the benefits to joining the collective training?"

  Riko rolled her eyes and said, "The Hero Association will definitely invest a great deal of resources in the collective training that they are organizing. It's a chance for every rookie that joins it to become stronger, one that should not be missed out! Besides, this collective training will be witnessed by the entire world, so your reputation will be greatly increased. If you are outstanding during the collective training, you might even have a lot of fans and eventually become a Celebrity Hero!"

  This world's star-chasing was different from Earth. The main targets of idolatry would be heroes. Celebrity Heroes were heroes who were recognized as "celebrities" by the media. The endorsement fees these heroes commanded was enough to last them the rest of their lives.

  Most importantly, every word or thing Celebrity Heroes said or did would result in the reverence or support of their fans. For a Hero, wasn't glory, the stage and supporters the most important things?

  As such, more than 95% of heroes had becoming Celebrity Heroes as their number one goal. Therefore, the collective training that could be viewed by the entire country was the best opportunity for the rookies to make their debut.

  "However..." Riko chuckled and said, "However, it's best you don't bear high hopes. It's not that I'm trying to set you back, but being only at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, the possibility of being selected as one of the collective training’s twenty is nearly zero."

  In Riko's point of view, the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm was considered the lowest requirement. There would definitely not be any lack of people at the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm participating in this selection process. Furthermore, Shi Xiaobai had not cultivated for long. His combat skills would definitely be weaker than others.

  A large number of people at the selection competition would definitely have proficiency levels at the Familiarized Proficiency, and a tiny minority might even be at the Exemplary Mastery realm!

  It was unknown if Shi Xiaobai had even reached the Grasped Basics realms of a combat skill or two.

  "However, making an attempt is still good. Even if you fail, it is also a valuable experience."

  Riko still hoped that Shi Xiaobai could attempt it. After all, people could only grow through a series of defeats and failures.

  Kali snickered when she heard this. In terms of knowing Shi Xiaobai, she was still ahead of Riko after all.

  Although Shi Xiaobai was only at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, even Xiao Xiao, who was at the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, was powerless against him. Just with his Crab Steps at the Dominating Refinement realm, it was very difficult for anyone in the Psionic Mortal Realm to easily defeat him.

  Upon thinking of this, Kali's gaze turned softer. She had witnessed Shi Xiaobai's diligence. For him to experience more than 2000 counts of defeat and remain resolute over a seven-day consecutive period without any rest, such a Shi Xiaobai had moved her heart as well as paining her heart.

  Shi Xiaobai did not think too much about it. All he did was nod and say, "Then I'll participate in it."

  His thinking was simple. As long as he could become stronger, he did not put it to heart if he would experience failure or if he would fail to pass the selection.

  Before a King could be invincible, he had to first experience countless failures.

  Furthermore, he was actually looking forward to the candidates Riko mentioned to give him a terrible defeat. It was best if there was someone like Thomas, who he could not surpass, but someone he could keep chasing after. If that happened, he could exceed his limits again and again.

  "Alright!"

  Riko immediately became happy when she heard Shi Xiaobai agree to it so candidly. Thinking of ensuring that this matter would be cast in stone, she quickly picked up her cellphone and walked to the corridor.

  She made a phone call to ask her father about the time and relevant matters regarding Annihilation division's selection.

  ...

  At this moment, Shi Xiaobai and Kali were the only two people left in the living room.

  Shi Xiaobai was still dining as though nothing had happened.

  Kali hesitated for a moment before standing up to walk to Shi Xiaobai's side.

  Shi Xiaobai turned his head to look at her.

  Kali gave a gentle smile and suddenly lifted the white eyepatch that covered her left eye, revealing that beautiful and holy golden pupil.

  Shi Xiaobai took a glance at it and felt like his entire being was attracted by the golden shimmer from her pupil. He even forgot to breathe momentarily.

  The golden pupil seemed to contain the most sacred light in the world. On 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 seemingly sucked Shi Xiaobai's soul into it.

  That golden pupil and black dot felt as though a black sun that had compressed all of the dark eventide hung in the endless light.

  Shi Xiaobai stared widely as he raised his head high. Slowly, his body left his seat as he allowed his eyes to approach the golden pupil.

  He wanted to be closer to that eye and see it even clearer.

  His forehead touched her forehead.

  And very soon, his nose tip touched her nose tip.

  Suddenly, Shi Xiaobai felt his lips being quickly and gently touched by a soft but moist object.

  Her lips had touched his lips.

  After Kali gave her light kiss, she immediately turned around and as her back that faced Shi Xiaobai trembled, she said, "This...this is Lovers' Pact 2.0! You...You are not to be a casanova, nor are you allowed to have a change of heart. Do you understand?"

  "I...I'll be going first."

  After Kali said that, she escaped into the light once again, disappearing from the room.

  Shi Xiaobai blinked his eyes and sighed. "It looks like This King has been slacking recently to not even know that there was a Lovers' Pact 2.0 version. Sigh, forget it. The next time This King sees her, she will definitely have a taste of the Lovers' Pact 3.0 created by This King!"

  ...

  ...

  The next morning, under Riko's urging, Shi Xiaobai woke up early. According to news obtained by Riko, the internal selection for Annihilation division was today!

  "You can do it. During the selection, I'll be watching beside you. Of course, don't expect me to be some cheerleader, but I will spiritually cheer on you."

  Before Shi Xiaobai left, Riko exhorted, "Go to the training grounds first. I'll be there right after you. By the way, remember to conceal your strength. There shouldn't be anyone who knows that you have broken through to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. Tsk, this would be such a huge pleasant surprise!"

  After Shi Xiaobai finished his breakfast, he took the taxi Riko got for him to the training grounds. As it was still early in the morning, there were only two people in the training classroom when Shi Xiaobai arrived.

  They were unfamiliar faces for Shi Xiaobai, so after taking a glance, he sat down at a random spot and closed his eyes to enter Cogitation cultivation.

  During Cogitation cultivation, he could enter his imagined heaven and earth, a world that he created freely by himself. He could also increase his own Psionic Ability realm; hence, whenever Shi Xiaobai was free, he would enter Cogitation cultivation. He had even used Cogitation in place of sleep last night.

  Shi Xiaobai was able to enter a meditative state quickly, and in a few seconds, he was already in Cogitation.

  Chapter113 Hisith wants some quietness

  After Shi Xiaobai entered his meditative state, the two rookies who were also in the room finally eased their stiff expressions. There was no other way about it. Just seeing the little bastard, Tu Dahei, reminded them of the tragic memories of having their wallets emptied.

  "Hmph, this fool is actually still alive? I thought he would have already been sliced into poker cards by Instructor Hisith."

  "I never expected him to dare come after playing truant for ten days. I'm already looking forward to what interesting game Instructor Hisith will play with him."

  "Unfortunately, today will be the selection for our division's recommendation ticket. It is said that the Division Minister will come personally, so Instructor Hisith likely doesn't have time to 'play games' today. However, if Tu Dahei were to participate in the selection, things will get interesting."

  "That's right. I'm waiting to see Brother Wang Lin beat up Tu Dahei, hehe."

  The two rookies gloated over Shi Xiaobai's upcoming misfortune as they looked unfriendly at him. In their hearts, Tu Dahei was a bastard who acted the pig to devour tigers and he was especially shameless. Although they knew that it was impossible for them to beat Tu Dahei, who was at the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, it did not stop them from fantasizing how the strongest rookie in Annihilation, Wang Lin, would trample all over Tu Dahei.

  As the two rookies were in the midst of their discussion, droves of rookies entered the classroom. These rookies also naturally scanned the classroom and discovered Shi Xiaobai. Most of them revealed a bit of aghast embarrassment as they recalled of the terror of their wallets being emptied by Shi Xiaobai. However, they soon began to engage in schadenfreudian discussion.

  By daring to participate in the collective training selection despite having asked for Instructor Hisith's underwear in public and then play truant for ten days, he was just courting death in a fanciful manner.

  They began to look forward to what Instructor Hisith's expression would be when he saw Tu Dahei after entering the classroom, as well as what he would do.

  At this moment, a keen-eyed rookie noticed through the classroom door a familiar figure slowly walking over.

  "Instructor Hisith is here!"

  The rookie shouted and immediately all the rookies leaped up like frightened deer. They hurried back to their seats and sat rigidly in an upright manner. They also immediately shut their mouths.

  "Tap, tap, tap..."

  Hisith walked into the classroom with his usual coquettish footsteps. The rookies did not dare lower their heads or look directly at Hisith. As such, all of them raised their heads to look at a wall. However, today was slightly special. A majority of people were secretly glancing in a particular direction.

  While everyone was sitting up straight and upright, there was one person having his head cocked upwards and leaning on a chair. His eyes were tightly shut and he would occasionally nod, as though he was sleeping very soundly.

  Ye Jiaquan, who sat beside him, constantly shook Shi Xiaobai’s shoulders, but he failed to wake him up.

  "Nice going, Tu Dahei."

  Quite a number people raised their thumbs. At this moment, even though they loathed Tu Dahei, they had to give a Like at how well Tu Dahei was at courting death.

  Hisith naturally noticed the rookies' erratic gazes. As such, he similarly saw Shi Xiaobai. His pupils slightly constricted as a coldness suffused from his eyes. Following that, intense killing aura emanated the classroom.

  The rookies immediately felt like they were encased in a frozen world while being coldly stared at by dozens of demonic frost beasts. Their minds were in a constant shiver.

  What a terrifying killing intent. How long had Instructor Hisith let his anger brew?

  How would he vent the anger that he had suppressed for ten days on Tu Dahei?

  The rookies struggled to swallow a mouthful of saliva. They had engaged in schadenfreudian moments ago about the tragedy Tu Dahei would
face, but at this moment, they felt a tinge of pity.

  Tu Dahei was going to be played to brokenness! He would either die or be crippled!

  At that moment in time, Shi Xiaobai was at a critical juncture. He was very quickly about to finish constructing Disney World in his Cogitation world, but he was immediately jolted awake when he sensed the cold killer intent.

  Shi Xiaobai slowly opened his eyes and using his instinct, traced the source of the killing intent. He immediately saw Hisith's squinted eyes that were so narrow that they looked like fish-shaped blades.

  Shi Xiaobai's eyes immediately lit up and waved his hand at Hisith, saying, "Hi, Instructor Sisi, is there any game prepared that is worthy for This King to conquer?"

  Shi Xiaobai had a good opinion of Hisith's games. Ten days ago, that "slightly more difficult" game had not only allowed his Psionic Ability control and Wavelet Shield to reach the Familiarized Proficiency and Grasped Basics realm respectively, but it had also allowed him to succeed in earning 100,000 cash for the Absolute Choice.

  Such a game could come by the truckload.

  The rookies were completely dumbfounded. Under the current circumstances, Tu Dahei still dared to speak so sarcastically?

  Were you actually from an expendable team?

  Instructor Hisith...was a devil who would really kill!

  Indeed, at this moment in time, Hisith only wished he could tear Shi Xiaobai to pieces and then seal him in an Underworld Poker to be slowly taught a lesson, but he could no longer do so.

  After receiving a warning from Kali, he understood that this very uncute little toy was no longer his.

  Even if the chances of winning wasn't high against One-Pun, he still dared to engage One-Pun in a crazy battle because One-Pun would have to pay a terrible price to defeat him.

  However, against Kali, he did not even have a single ounce of desire to fight her. Hisith was unable to tell what level Kali's strength was at all. As such, he completely understood that he probably did not even have 0.00...01% chance of winning. It was unknown if he could harm a single hair on Kali even if he threw his life.

  Hence, after four out of his seven servants was destroyed by Kali as a "tiny warning", he had to retract whatever thoughts he had on dealing with Shi Xiaobai.
