536 The worth of a piece of shi (1/2)

Crown Prince Manor

Tyger Li and the Seven Wolfskins stood on one end while Shi Xiaobai stood on the other. Mu Lengxi leaned sideways on a wall behind Shi Xiaobai and allowed the unconscious Mu Zhaorong to be held in her arms.

The moonlight seemed aqueous as the night wind was slightly chilly, gently swaying the plants in the courtyard. It was a broad and silent piece of land that would quickly turn into a chaotic battlefield.

The Seven Wolfskins were already eager to strike. They yearned to charge forward to break Shi Xiaobai's hands, feet, and reproduction organ, torturing and humiliating him to the extremes.

But Tyger Li, who was supposed to be the angriest person, appeared exceptionally patient. He did not allow the Seven Wolfskins to charge immediately. Instead, he waited for Shi Xiaobai to settle down Mu Lengxi and her mother. He did not mind giving him some time to prepare.

This made the Seven Wolfskins feel impressed and awed by his actions. They also understood deeply why they were only soldiers of a squad while the man in front of them was the emperor of the political world. If they were to question themselves, could they remain so calm if they were in his shoes? Especially with a large and green grassland propped on their heads that prevented them from feeling comfortable even for a second.

But the Li family's emperor seemed prepared to 'forgive' her. This garnered the Seven Wolfskins' admiration.

However, Tyger Li was only considering how he could torture Shi Xiaobai in a way that appeased him the best. As he was racking his brains, he realized for the first time how his 'methods of torture' were so deficient.

Instead, it was Shi Xiaobai who first took a step forward. He gestured at the Seven Wolfskins and said disparagingly, ”Are you coming one after the other, or are the seven of you coming at me together?”

Shi Xiaobai did not mind if the seven soldiers at the Psionic Might Realm would shamelessly fight one after another or to brazenly surround him in battle. His mind was clear as his fighting spirit stirred. He was already prepared.

He had experienced many life-and-death battles. This was not the first, nor would it be his last. It was only one of the countless life-and-death battles he would experience that would not be worth mentioning.

The Seven Wolfskins felt Shi Xiaobai's contempt and were immediately infuriated. However, the decision was not up to them. They could only cast their eyes at Tyger Li.

Tyger Li pondered for a moment before he suddenly had an idea. He turned his head at the Seven Wolfskins and asked, ”Which of the seven of you is the weakest?”

When the seven soldiers heard his question, other than the youngest soldier shrinking his neck back slightly, the other six immediately cast their gazes on him.

The youngest soldier could only bite the bullet and step forward to say loudly, ”Your Excellency, I am Eventide Seventh Wolf. I'm the youngest and the weakest member of the Seven Wolfskins.”

Tyger Li squinted his eyes as he glanced at the soldier and said once again, ”How old are you this year? What realm?”

Eventide Seventh Wolf straightened his back and said loudly, ”I am twenty-two this year and at the fifth stage of the Psionic Might Realm.”

Tyger Li nodded and suddenly turned to look at Shi Xiaobai. He said with a sneer, ”Shi Xiaobai, what do you think of the cultivation speed of reaching the fifth stage of the Psionic Might Realm at the age of twenty-two?”

Shi Xiaobai looked dumbfounded for he knew everything except the answer to such a question of general knowledge.

Shi Xiaobai turned his head to look for Mu Lengxi for help.

Mu Lengxi immediately wrote on the board: ”The speed is alright but it's definitely not considered that of a genius. If it's Brother Xiaobai, you will definitely be at the Psionic Domain Realm at the age of twenty-two. You might even be nearing the Psionic Imperial Realm!”

Mu Lengxi openly fawned on Shi Xiaobai but what she depicted was an objective fact.

Typically, Psionites would stay in the Psionic Mortal Realm to the age of thirteen or fourteen. Once they had accumulated enough experience and strength in the Psionic Mortal Realm, they would go to the Psionic Soul Sanctuary to vie for Psionic Souls to break through to the Psionic Soul Realm. And this period of being at the Psionic Mortal Realm to 'accumulate strength' was crucial. The differences were also extremely great.

After entering the Psionic Soul Realm, some people had very fast cultivation speeds. They would make breakthroughs again and again while others would be stuck in the Psionic Soul Realm or hardly break through to the Psionic Might Realm without any further progress. That was the difference in talent and also the greatest difference between geniuses and mortals.

Eventide Seventh Wolf had cultivated to the fifth stage of the Psionic Might Realm by the age of twenty-two. He had spent eight to nine years to go from the Psionic Soul Realm to the middle stages of the Psionic Might Realm, which was considered somewhat above average, but it was far from being considered a genius.

After all, most Psionic Imperial Realm warriors, also known as Psionic Kings, would break through to the Psionic Domain Realm before the age of twenty. Although going from the Psionic Domain Realm to the Psionic Imperial Realm was the true barrier, some Psionic Kings only took ten years while others had to spend two to three decades. However, there was one thing to be certain of. If one did not break through to the Psionic Domain Realm before the age of twenty, it meant that one had no chance of reaching the Psionic Imperial Realm.
