114 Loverss Pact 2.0 (1/2)

Chapter 114: 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.
