38 Quick hand over your underwear (1/2)
Chapter 38: Quick hand over your underwear
The din carried on as numerous rookies began leaping in joy. After all, most rookies were at the first or second level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. When it came to Shi Xiaobai’s Wavelet Shield, only those rookies at or above the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm could be sure that they could shatter it. So now that Shi Xiaobai had won Hisith’s game, many people heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Lingcun also heaved a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he felt a strange sense of foreboding. In his opinion, the entire matter seemed to have many suspicious holes in it. For the game to end so suddenly made these holes seem even more suspicious.
“If Hisith’s true motive is to force Shi Xiaobai to grow stronger, then Shi Xiaobai should be rather important in his eyes. He shouldn’t be a toy that Hisith will discard wantonly, so wouldn’t using a method such as ‘Body Incineration Curse’ make him look too eager for success? How did Hisith have such confidence?”
“Shi Xiaobai managed to complete ‘destruction before establishment’ after four rounds of ‘destruction’. Does such unprecedented perception truly exist? Or is there a hidden truth? Hisith seemed to believe that Shi Xiaobai could complete ‘destruction before establishment’ given 72 opportunities, but even four times was beyond his expectations. Then why didn’t he carry on probing further? Instead he stopped, and ended the game?”
“The series of actions Hisith did clearly isn’t to help Shi Xiaobai grow stronger. There should be a hidden motive. It seems Hisith has seen something in Shi Xiaobai that has interested him. He wants to understand it deeper, preventing it from hiding, so he was trying incessantly to force it out.”
“If Hisith really has a deeper motive, then why did he stop? Is it because he is full from the side dishes and wants to leave the main dish for later? Or does he think that it’s no longer suitable to carry on forcing it?”
Chen Lingcun bit at his thumbnail, question after question flashing in his mind. Maybe he was overthinking it, but he kept having a nagging feeling that things were not so simple. Hisith did not like perfect endings. The game he prepared for Shi Xiaobai should not be that simple.
However, Shi Xiaobai had finally managed to survive it all. In less than hour, not only had he opened up a psionic sacred meridian, his Psionic Ability control had reached ‘Familiarized Proficiency’. His defensive skill, Wavelet Shield’s proficiency level reached ‘Grasped Basics’. This was something others took years to achieve!
Chen Lingcun was truly happy for Shi Xiaobai. He, who was always a restrained person, could not help but cheer along with everyone else. He could not conceal the smile on his face, as he laughed like a child.
Suddenly, he saw Shi Xiaobai turn towards Hisith and seemingly said something. Chen Lingcun involuntarily closed his mouth.
Everyone noticed something abnormal had happened as they all closed their mouths and pricked up their ears.
Was this bumpkin going to give a game completion speech?
“Hehe, Underworld King Hisith, This King can smell the aura of an Evil Cursed God from your body. Do you know that you are now in grave danger?” Shi Xiaobai said as he took a whiff around Hisith’s body.
When everyone heard this, they felt at a loss. Hisith was in grave danger? What sort of worldly joke is that!
Hisith was also momentarily stunned. He did not feel irritated by Shi Xiaobai’s “interesting” actions, so he smiled and said, “Oh? What danger?”
Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath and held it in for a moment.
“Through a space-time medium, Evil God Ssabis placed a hex on an item on your body, in the scheming hope that through contact with your skin, the hex will penetrate your body. If you do not throw this item quickly, you will suffer the pain of this Evil God’s hex. You will be doomed for all eternity!”
Shi Xiaobai deliberately lowered his voice as if he were telling ghost stories at a campfire. His serious demeanor seemed to emphasize that what he said was true, and then he sternly said, “But don’t worry. This King possess the Elf King’s bloodline, and with the purest energy in this world, will be able to cleanse off every foul object. So, you must quickly give that cursed item to This King. This King will do his best to save you!”
“What item is it?” Hisith said with a smile, but there was no emotion in it.
Everyone pricked their ears even more. This bumpkin sure liked to exaggerate. Wasn’t it just getting something from Hisith? What did he want from Hisith?
“Underwear!”
Shi Xiaobai answered with dead sobriety, as he pointed his fingers at Hisith’s pants!
Everyone stared with widened eyes.
Shi Xiaobai knitted his eyebrows together and while still pointing at Hisith’s pants, he bellowed, “Hurry up and give your underwear to This King! The Seed of the Evil God’s aura is already emanating, his hex will soon cross the boundary of space and time, and descend onto your body. If that hex were to mix with your blood, This King will be helpless!”
“Hurry, hurry up and hand over your underwear!”
Shi Xiaobai’s face looked extremely anxious. His terrified look made it as though something terrible would happen immediately.
The classroom fell into silence as a strange heavy atmosphere fell onto the classroom. Hisith’s smile stiffened, and slowly disappeared. A cold aura began emanating from his body, and from afar, it looked like his body was at freezing point, as though he was frozen.
All the rookies in the classroom were dumbfounded by Shi Xiaobai’s actions!
Wasn’t underwear the most taboo of topics for Instructor Hisith?
