108 This is a monster (2/2)

To be able to break through two levels in less than twenty days was blazing fast.

Riko hesitated for a while and decided to remind Shi Xiaobai not to be too complacent and slack off, hence, she said, “Cultivating to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm isn’t an easy task. After all, the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm is one of the two major steps in the Psionic Mortal Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Shi Xiaobai could not help but ask, “Two major steps?”

Riko was startled before she laughed and said, “You have already been in rookie training for more than ten days, yet you don’t know this common piece of knowledge?

Shi Xiaobai gave an awkward smile. He had only participated in one day of rookie training that had gone on for more than ten days. He had played truant so it was indeed a sin…

Riko rolled her eyes at him and patiently explained, “The Psionic Mortal Realm has two major barriers. The first is the barrier from the third level to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. The other is the one from the ninth to the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. Hence, we call the fourth and tenth levels the two major steps of the Psionic Mortal Realm.”

“These two major steps are very influential. It can be said that the difference in strength between the first level to the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm isn’t that great, but when facing someone at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, the pressure is immense. The gap in strength from the fourth to the ninth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm isn’t great either, but against a person at the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, one can only shy away by taking a detour.”

“These two major steps are very difficult to cross. You might take one year to rise five levels from the fourth level to the ninth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, but the time it takes to go from the ninth to tenth level might take more than a year.”

“Hence, the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm isn’t difficult to attain, but breaking to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm is extremely difficult. You have to work hard at it!”

Riko emphasized what she had said, with the intention to warn Shi Xiaobai that cultivation was not as easy as he thought.

Shi Xiaobai digested Riko’s words. Thinking of how his Wavelet Shield had previously been shattered by Wang Lin in a single punch and how the three-man team was instantly killed by Xiao Xiao, he finally understood what Riko meant.

In short, going from the third level to the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm was extremely difficult. It was a hurdle, a major step.

Shi Xiaobai silently ate another two mouthfuls before he suddenly found the food was not as delicious as before.

Just thinking of how he could possess superpowers at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm and how he would be stuck in the third level of the Psionic Mortal Realm for a period of time, he immediately lost his appetite.

Without a superpower, how different was he from a dead salted fish?

“This King is full. This King will be entering Cogitation!”

Shi Xiaobai put down his tableware and stood up. His facial expression looked extremely serious.

Riko was left in a daze but she was very pleased with Shi Xiaobai’s positive attitude.

“Hold on, let’s test your current cultivation progress first.”

Riko was still wondering if Shi Xiaobai had already cultivated to the second level of the Psionic Mortal Realm.

Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment before nodding. He still had that bit of time to spare.

Riko smiled and headed to her room.

Not long later, she took out a metallic device that looked like a dynamometer.

“Hold on to it and release your Psionic Power. The device will indicate the strength of your Psionic Power.”

Riko handed the Psionic Power measurement device to Shi Xiaobai.

Shi Xiaobai nodded and held onto that Psionic Power measurement device that was made of some special metal. He began to fully release the Psionic Power in his body towards his palms as he stared intently at the numeric display.

Riko also paid close attention to the display. Could Shi Xiaobai have exceeded her expectations and cultivate to the second level of the Psionic Mortal Realm?

The numeric display numbers jumped before it eventually fixed onto a surprising number—4.1.

“Holy shit! Fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm!?”

Riko was stunned agape….
