11 This King takes back everything he just said (2/2)

“Do not be dejected just because you are not a genius. Even more so, do not thinking highly of yourself because of being a so-called genius. This is because this world does not have any geniuses, only the strong!”

“A hardworking ordinary person can become one of the strong, while a lackadaisical genius will never be fated to be one of the strong!”

“Do you understand? This world doesn’t have any geniuses! Only the strong!”

Shi Xiaobai turned more impassioned towards the end, nearly delivering his speech with an angry bellow. After saying that, he immediately entered the metallic box. With a slam, he closed the metallic door heavily, while the room echoed with his final words and the sound of the slammed door.

Yang Yang clenched his fists tightly as he lowered his head and pondered over Shi Xiaobai’s words that kept echoing in his head.

Kevin had an extremely ugly expression on his face, but it was mostly anger and scorn.

The three older people on the high platform had the calmest reactions. They even shook their heads. They had seen many geniuses, so they knew the difference between a genius and an ordinary person..

Sitting on the right, Fang Qingshan did not have much of an expression, but his eyes narrowed with a facetious look in them.

A relieved look appeared on Zhao Xiong’s good-natured face before he quickly thought of something. His expression turned serious as a result.

Mu Hongli looked at Riko and sniggered. “This idiot who keeps calling himself ‘This King’ is the rookie you found? He sure has the courage, but unfortunately he’s a tad foolish.”

Riko was cursing the pigheaded Shi Xiaobai in her mind, but she laughed coldly. “Sometimes, foolish people can have dumb luck. I happen to like Shi Xiaobai’s forthrightness, and not like that Blondy Narcissist you found. It’s as if the world revolves around him. Doesn’t he know that however strong you are, there is always someone stronger? A C Class Psyker? Tch~”

Mu Hongli’s expression changed slightly, but she did not retort. She too did not like Kevin’s megalomania.

The two of them continued on in a war of words before turning their gazes towards the metallic wall, where the numbers were still changing. No matter how much they argued, the evaluation’s result was most crucial.

……

After entering the metallic box, numerous beams of light shone on Shi Xiaobai, as they constantly scanned his body.

“To dare make an attempt at analyzing This King’s body. What a naive machine.”

Shi Xiaobai mocked the metallic wall for a moment before recalling the impassioned speech he said outside and immediately felt a bit excited.

“These foolish mortals must have been convinced by This King’s words. How dare mere mortals address themselves as geniuses in front of This King? It’s completely asking for an insult.”

After dazing in the enclosed space for a moment, Shi Xiaobai could not help but think of several questions, and suddenly felt anxious.

“Eh, what if the natural endowments possessed by This King’s mortal body in this world is completely trash..?”

He hurriedly shook his head, abandoning the amusing thought. “What a joke. How can This King be impeded by a mere evaluation test like this?”

Although he had this thought in mind, Shi Xiaobai still stuck his ear to the metallic wall, in an attempt to hear the commotions outside. Logically speaking, if his natural endowments were any good, that old grandpa would definitely have made a big fuss over it.

However, Shi Xiaobai was disappointed. There was not a single commotion, much less a big fuss.

After a while, the light beams that constantly scanned his body disappeared. The metallic box fell into darkness and the evaluation test was over.

Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath and suddenly felt a bit nervous. It felt just like back in the day, whenever he handed his examination manuscripts to his teacher, he would always pray incessantly that he could score more than ten points that one time.

Shi Xiaobai opened the metallic door and slowly walked out of the metallic box. His mind and body observed everything outside the box, as he felt a repressive atmosphere. He realized that the room had completely fallen into silence.

Turning around, he saw the elder focusing his gaze on him. His gaze appeared like he had seen a ghost, and his body was trembling like a patient who could collapse at any time.

With a gulp, Shi Xiaobai slowly looked up at the two rows of text on the metallic wall. The results of his evaluation immediately entered his eyes.

“Mind Expanse: S Class.”

“Psy-genes: S Class.”

After a cursory glance, Shi Xiaobai immediately waved his hand and shouted loudly, “Everyone! This King takes back everything he just said. This world does have geniuses!”
