25 The Targeted Shi Xiaobai (1/2)

Chapter 25: The Targeted Shi Xiaobai

The sunlight scattered on the handsome youth’s silver hair, causing a warm glow to reflect off him. It wasn’t blinding to the eyes, but instead made one feel a sense of warmth. However, the silver-haired youth’s words sounded extremely harsh to the ears, it even made Shi Xiaobai’s heart turn cold.

“Shi Xiaobai, is not the hope of Team Red.”

The silver-haired youth seemed to be merely stating an irrefutable fact. His eyes were calm, and his tone even calmer. However, this calmness seemed to be even more deadly than having any other emotion.

Although Shi Xiaobai was shocked at how the silver-haired youth appeared out of thin air, he immediately felt that his dignity as King had been insulted after hearing those demeaning words. He could not stand for it.

However, just as Shi Xiaobai was about to refute him, the silver-haired youth said another sentence that made Shi Xiaobai involuntarily close his mouth.

“Shi Xiaobai, is the hope of all humanity!”

The silver-haired remained calm saying those words, but the look in his eyes seemed to burn even hotter.

Shi Xiaobai was momentarily dumbfounded. This was the first time he felt like his intellect was not sufficient to understand what had happened. The transition of this situation was too abrupt, wasn’t it? Didn’t he just label him as a “powerless” weakling? Why was he suddenly elevated to becoming the “hope of all humanity”?

Then he heard Ye Jiaquan say in a muffled voice, “Me also believes Captain Shi Xiaobai is the hope of all humanity! However, Lingcun, Me thinks for the first time that what you said isn’t right! Me believes Captain Shi Xiaobai can definitely save Team Red! Me believes in him!”

The silver-haired youth that was addressed as “Lingcun”1 chuckled and said, “Silly Ye, I personally adore Shi Xiaobai, and firmly believe Shi Xiaobai will become the strongest S Class Hero in the future. In the future, he would wreck havoc in the Demon World, withstanding the invasion of aliens, and protect all of humanity. And for that unpredictable ‘fourth apocalypse’ that will eventually happen, I believe Shi Xiaobai will become the most dazzling sun!”

Shi Xiaobai immediately fell his blood surge upon hearing this. He began fantasizing himself heroically saving the world, and being sung praises by every human in the world. The way he looked at the silver-haired youth immediately turned extremely gentle. For this silver-haired youth to be able to so accurately depict the future, could he be the legendary prophet?

As Shi Xiaobai was in seventh heaven, Lingcun suddenly said something unexpected as he sighed, “However, we have to admit an irrefutable fact—Shi Xiaobai is still a weakling. He has yet to grow stronger yet. He is still a weak ‘infant’! According to information gathered eleven days ago, Shi Xiaobai has yet to begun Psionic Ability cultivation. Even a genius like Shi Xiaobai can at best reach the first level of the Psionic Mortal Realm in eleven days. The enhancement Shi Xiaobai can bring to Team Red’s strength would be trivial, it still cannot change the fate of Team Red losing to Team Blue!”

The moment Lingcun finished speaking, Ye Jiaquan said with an anxious voice, “Me…Me can’t out talk you! But Me believes Captain Shi Xiaobai can lead Team Red to defeat Team Blue!”

Lingcun’s face that was as handsome as an elf revealed a look of helplessness. With his hands in his pockets, he shrugged his shoulders and said, “Silly Ye, since you refuse to come to your senses, then let me tell you a grim truth. If Shi Xiaobai appears, he will not only fail to strengthen Team Red, he will even make Team Red weaker!”

“What nonsense are you saying!? Me doesn’t believe!” Ye Jiaquan’s face flushed as heavy air sprayed out his nose, as if Lingcun’s words had angered him.

Shi Xiaobai felt mixed emotions seeing this. On one side, one was a fanatic devotee, while the other side was a rational devotee. They were both his devotees, but the two had entered an argument because of him, so he was truly at a loss as to who to help.

“This is a clash of beliefs! Go on, let This King see which one of you has a stronger belief!”

Shi Xiaobai decided to watch coldly by the side, and immediately turned silent. However, Ye Jiaquan and Lingcun seemed lost in their own worlds. From the beginning to the end, Lingcun did not seem to look Shi Xiaobai in the eye, amusing Shi Xiaobai.

“The furthest distance in the world is that you don’t know that This King is here when This King is standing in front of you!”

Shi Xiaobai snickered, as his ears pricked up. Although he felt disdain towards the way Lingcun spoke, he could not help but feel curious.
