The process of becoming stronger was painful. Whether they could enjoy adversity depended on the thirst in their hearts giving them joy while becoming strong.
Shi Xiaobai possessed an intense longing to become strong. As a result, every time his strength increased, he would obtain a joy that was enough to make him forget and overcome the painful process of the experience. As for how intense the thirst Mozzie and Kevin had, Shi Xiaobai did not know. He did not want to force the duo, but instead gave them a chance to choose.
Mozzie's eyes slowly gathered a strange glimmer. She obviously wanted to become stronger. This thirst might not be considered intense to start with, but ever since she was defeated by the female whopper and having seen the distance between Lord Shi Xiaobai, Sunless and Mu Yuesheng from her, this thirst suddenly became extremely intense. The unbearable feeling she had was because she greatly desired it to the point of being lost and confused.
And at this moment, Shi Xiaobai was pointing at a clear path in front of her. Although the path was filled with adversities, it was filled with light!
However, wasn't doing so a bit too selfish?
At this moment, a hand gently grasped her hand. Mozzie turned around and saw Sunless standing beside her with an expressionless face.
"All the best."
Sunless, who was ineloquent, only said the three words softly.
Her voice may be very soft, but it struck heavily on Mozzie's heart. They had only gotten to know each other for a few hours, but she had already treated her as a friend that she was willing to selflessly help.
She was a person with few words and expressions. Even her emotions seemed few, but in fact, she was more serious with every friendship she had, right?
At this moment, Mu Yuesheng also chimed in, "Mozzie, don't worry. I'm not afraid of falling behind!"
The trio did not have any complaints about them holding everyone back. Mozzie suddenly choked up as she nodded heavily, "Alright!"
After a few moments of silence, Kevin said, "Thank you!"
Shi Xiaobai immediately said with a smile, "Very good. The both of you begin preparing. The process might be very arduous, but you just need to persist on and there will be great improvements."
After saying that, Shi Xiaobai suddenly turned to look at Mu Yuesheng. He said, "This King believes it's time for you to break through to the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm."
Since Shi Xiaobai said that he would make all four of them enter the top ten, he naturally could not be discriminatory. However, for Mu Yuesheng, raising her psionic cultivation realm was of top priority.
Mu Yuesheng was surprised but her eyes suddenly burst out with an intense glow. She said, "You have a method?"
Following that, she remembered something as Mu Yuesheng's face slightly blushed.
Shi Xiaobai seriously said, "This King's Massage Technique of God can not only temporarily improve your Mind Expanse, it can even have a certain chance of sending you into a deep meditative state!"
With him saying this, the other four were taken aback. Raising one's Mind Expanse was already incredibly amazing, but wasn't having a certain chance of entering a deep meditative state too exaggerated?
However, they all knew that Shi Xiaobai would not joke on such matters. Although the words he said made them find him very 'arrogant', but he had always proven himself with his actions in reality. This made them feel like they had to seriously listen to what Shi Xiaobai had to say.
Mu Yuesheng's eyes were filled with a struggle. She truly did not wish to miss this golden opportunity, but Shi Xiaobai's Massage Technique of God was toxic. Even if she was not a shy girl with a skin as thin as paper, she had a basic sense of shame!
Mozzie understood Mu Yuesheng's conundrum. Looking at Sunless beside her, her eyes suddenly lit up. She said, "Sound cannot be transmitted in vacuum! As long as a vacuum wall is produced, sound will be isolated!"
When Mu Yuesheng heard this, her eyes lit up. Sunless's vacuum superpower was still fresh in her mind. If they could isolate her voice, and only Shi Xiaobai could hear it, it did not seem such an unacceptable matter.
Mu Yuesheng's face blushed slightly as she glanced sideways at Shi Xiaobai. He had a deadpan expression and looked his usual self. She thought to herself if this guy was really that innocent and pure or if he was truly a little pervert deep down. Judging by his behavior, he was the former, but looking at his actions, it was very likely the latter.
If it was the former, it was alright. But if it was the latter, wouldn't she be sending herself to the wolves?
However, how could she truly miss the opportunity of increasing her Mind Expanse and the chance of entering a deep meditative state?
Mu Yuesheng looked at Sunless and whispered, "Then, I'm counting on you?"
Sunless nodded her head. Although she was not sure what was happening, conjuring a vacuum wall was extremely simple for her.
After a moment, after Mozzie's urging, the trio quickly came to the corner at a bend of the cave. Sunless set up a vacuum barrier to isolate sound.
In the dark cave, only Shi Xiaobai and Mu Yuesheng could be seen under the dim light.
Shi Xiaobai walked towards Mu Yuesheng and said, "Don't worry. This King's Massage Technique of God not only has excellent effects, it's also rather comfortable."
Mu Yuesheng's face turned bitter.
Your massage technique is good in every way.
But it's just too comfortable!

Chapter248 Fear of everyone not being able to replace the lost nutrients faster than they can be gained
Although the Massage Technique of God was very powerful, it had to follow basic principles. For example, for the improvement of one's Mind Expanse, it could only improve it temporarily. Letting Mu Yuesheng enter a deep meditative state was also not a simple matter. Not only was the success rate low, but it needed the massage to last for a considerable period of time.
Furthermore, the temples were the places where nerves were fairly concentrated. Words could not describe the feelings when the Massage Technique of God was applied to these spots.
Hence, what followed and the intricacies will not be described in detail for fear of everyone not being able to replace the lost nutrients faster than they can be gained. A simple sentence shall summarize it—Mu Yuesheng's throat turned hoarse.
Finally, after fifteen minutes of massage, Mu Yuesheng very fortunately entered a deep meditative state!
Shi Xiaobai's Massage Technique of God also obtained quite a sizable improvement. With the sudden appearance of the Absolute Choice, Shi Xiaobai should have reasonably chosen [ Choice 1: In twelve hours, raise the Kun Peng Sword Technique's proficiency level from Familiarized Proficiency to the Exemplary Mastery realm (D-level reward) ]. This was because he was prepared to teach and learn the Kun Peng Sword Technique with Sunless. Furthermore, he could use the opportunities provided by the stone doors to improve his Kun Peng Sword Technique.
However, Shi Xiaobai had noticed Mozzie and Kevin's dejected expressions. After thinking carefully for a few moments, he guessed at the reason. Finally he chose [ Choice 2: In twelve hours, raise the Massage Technique of God's proficiency level from Familiarized Proficiency to the Exemplary Mastery realm (D-level reward) ]. He wanted to use the Massage Technique of God's ability to enhance Mozzie and Kevin's endurance, so that they could engage in actual combat without any worries. This was Shi Xiaobai's choice.
This choice was in fact very risky. This was because even with the Massage Technique of God, the hardships and sufferings during the process of actual combat would not greatly decrease. Mozzie and Kevin's thirst for becoming strong and their will determined how long they could persist on. It also determined if Shi Xiaobai's Massage Technique of God would have a chance of being improved to the Exemplary Mastery realm.
In contrast, cultivating the Kun Peng Sword Technique was much simpler.
It was also much more favorable for Shi Xiaobai. However, Shi Xiaobai had chosen choice 2 without much deliberation. This was because this was a choice that he would not regret in the future.
Shi Xiaobai contentedly turned around the corner and Mozzie and company immediately came up to him. Mozzie's eyes were filled with anticipation, while Sunless remained expressionless. Kevin felt envy and jealousy when it came to Shi Xiaobai, but he could not help but secretly worship him. Shi Xiaobai was the only person who managed to enjoy such nice welfare while still making chicks think he was very pure.
Mozzie walked in front of Shi Xiaobai and hurriedly asked, "How is it? Was it a success?"
Shi Xiaobai said in high spirits, "Of course. How can This King's Massage Technique of God fail? A deep meditative state is definitely a success!"
"Wow! Lord Shi Xiaobai, you are truly amazing!"
Mozzie immediately cheered and threw her arms around Shi Xiaobai to hug him. Tiptoeing, she kissed Shi Xiaobai on the cheek. She was so happy as though she was the one who had entered a deep meditative state.
Shi Xiaobai calmly rubbed his cheeks of the saliva and said with a sigh, "It took fifteen minutes. It was quite long."
Kevin's mouth twitched as he told himself in his heart, normal state of mind, normal state of mind...
Shi Xiaobai turned to look at Sunless and said, "Sorry, This King will not be able to have a sword exchange with you for the time being. However, we would have plenty of time, wouldn't we?"
Sunless immediately nodded. There was a subtle luster in her dull eyes.
Shi Xiaobai whispered, "A person in a deep meditative state needs protection. Can you..."
Sunless nodded her head once again without hesitation as she turned around to head to the area of the cave where Mu Yuesheng was.
Mozzie looked at Sunless's back and said softly, "Sister Sunless is so nice. She's so beautiful and also a super rookie. She's also so kind..."
Shi Xiaobai nodded his head gently. He had a very good impression of this girl that spoke very little. Yes, he had great interest especially in her sword techniques and her way of the sword.
...
Shi Xiaobai and the other two proceeded forward in the dark cave. The Goblin Cave's layout was clearly more complicated than Ogre Forest. Along the way, there were several forks in the path. By leaving a tiny mark, Shi Xiaobai used his intuition to proceed forward.
After a few more bends, they suddenly heard delicate footsteps ahead. The trio slowed down and saw four goblins patrolling around the corner.
The four goblins had dark green skin. They had sharp ears and wide concave noses and red eyes. They looked extremely ugly. They were as short as dwarves and were extremely skinny. In their hands were frightening hammers.
Shi Xiaobai whispered, "Mozzie, these four shall be yours."
Mozzie immediately nodded. She was still confident of beating four goblins.
Kevin gaped. He was feeling somewhat worried but he eventually did not say a word.
Mozzie took a deep breath and used her psionic power to construct a psionic warhammer. This warhammer had a long handle and a huge hammerhead. Brandishing it around probably used quite a lot of strength.
Before slimming down, Mozzie had gone down the build route of a Strength-Defense hybrid warrior. The most proficient weapon of hers was the warhammer. However, after she slimmed down, she felt that the warhammer did not suit her adorable image. Hence, she had constantly refused to use it.
She had fantasized of changing her build route. She felt that with her present body, wouldn't it be most suitable for her to become an agile assassin?
However, such transitions were difficult in practice. It was impossible to do so in a short period of time. Furthermore, Mozzie discovered that her strength did not decrease after she slimmed down. Instead, it was as though her strength had increased a tiny bit from before.
Mozzie helplessly thought of the problem of her bloodline. Due to her possession of a special bloodline, she had to eat more than others from a young age. Her strength was also greater than the average person. And now, her special bloodline did not weaken because of her petite body. Instead, it had a greater impact on her.
This Mosquito is destined to go down the path of a Strength build!
Mozzie sighed in her heart and finally resigned herself to fate. She decided to cast aside the burden of being an adorable chick and restore her domineering nature as a fat chick!
"There's no need to conserve psionic power," Shi Xiaobai reminded her.
Mozzie nodded her head heavily. She obviously would follow Lord Shi Xiaobai's instructions!
Mozzie raised her warhammer and turned around the corner. The four dark-green goblins immediately noticed her and let out high-pitched cries. With hammers in hand, they charged at Mozzie.
"Eat my hammer!"
Mozzie thundered charmingly as she swung her warhammer. A surging power burst forward as a white layer of light suffused from her warhammer. She charged straight at the goblin right in front and slammed downwards!
The howling winds tore through the narrow space. The strike was extremely fast as it struck the goblin. The goblin was instantly sent flying and slammed heavily into the stone walls. With a loud 'boom', the entire cave shook gently!
Half of the goblin's body was smashed into pulp by that single hammer strike!

Chapter249 Lord Shi Xiaobai can massage wherever he wants
Kevin stared dumbfounded. He shouted 'holy shit' in astonishment. The power of the strike was more than terrifying. It was all from the strength of her physique. She could be described as a humanoid monster!
This strike was produced by the beauty that looked as cute as a kitten in front of him!?
When the other three goblins saw their companion die, they immediately let our furious and terrified screams and charged at Mozzie.
Mozzie appeared rather skilled with the warhammer. She had not overused her strength in her first strike, so she could quickly recover and send out her second strike at an extremely fast speed. Immediately, another goblin was smashed into pulp.
However, the remaining two goblins took advantage of this moment to charge at Mozzie without any heed for their lives. They slammed their hammers angrily at her!
"Magical Silver Shield!"
Mozzie conjured a dark silver shield in a timely fashion. This shield was a B-class defensive skill, Magical Silver Shield. Mozzie had already mastered it to the Exemplary Mastery realm, and it was the skill that gave her claim to fame from her division!
The goblins' hammers slammed into the Magical Silver Shield like rocks striking steel. Not the slightest tremor was produced, so it was evident how strong the defense was!
Mozzie jumped at the opportunity to swing her warhammer and struck both goblins. It caused the cave to tremble and instantly she obtained a double kill!
Kevin was shocked seeing all of this from the side. He believed that Mozzie was the weakest among the four, but now, after seeing Mozzie's alarming strength when she used her warhammer and her extremely hard Magical Silver Shield, Kevin suddenly felt unsure of it!
Mozzie was smiling as she walked back. Coming in front of Shi Xiaobai, her expression suddenly stiffened, as though she was a good student waiting for constructive criticism. She asked softly, "How was it? Lord Shi Xiaobai."
Shi Xiaobai hesitated slightly and said, "Your strength is not enough."
Kevin was immediately unhappy hearing this. He questioned, "Are you joking? This strength is still not enough?"
Mozzie gave Kevin a stare and she said obediently to Shi Xiaobai, "Lord Shi Xiaobai must have a reason behind his words!"
Kevin curled his mouth and looked at Shi Xiaobai and said, "This Genius wants to hear what reason you have!"
"This King always convinces people with reason!"
Shi Xiaobai looked at Mozzie and said, "When you wave your warhammer, according to T
his King's observations, you have power in your body that far exceeds the power during the waving of your warhammer. This shouldn't be because you did not use your full strength, but because this power is restricted. You can only use a tiny portion of it. This King believes that the amount of power you extract is far from enough!"
After Shi Xiaobai said this, Mozzie fell into a momentary daze before raising her thumb and said, "Lord Shi Xiaobai, you are really godly!"
Kevin was stunned silent. Power in her body? He could see this with the naked eye? This was really like Shi Xiaobai.
Mozzie hesitated for a moment and said, "This has likely got to do with my bloodline. My family clan has inherited a tiny amount of Titan bloodline. My bloodline's purity is higher than others, so I've had incredible strength since I was young. I also had a great appetite. However, my father once said that our clan's bloodline is too thin, so we can only use a tiny portion of the Titan bloodline's strength. Lord Shi Xiaobai, the power in my body you mentioned should be the bloodline's strength."
Shi Xiaobai was slightly surprised when he heard this. Speaking of bloodline, he recalled of Chen Lingcun's golden white holy dragon race bloodline. Apparently, Chen Lingcun's bloodline purity was extremely high, so high that he could transform into a dragon. As for Mozzie, she had the bloodline of a Titan. However, from the sound of it, their clan only inherited a wisp of the Titan bloodline?
Kevin said, "If it's a bloodline problem, then there's no other way. The purity of one's bloodline is innate. How much that can be used is limited. No one has a way around that..."
Shi Xiaobai firmly said, "No, This King has a way!"
Kevin stared at him and immediately wanted to rebuke, but with a thought, he swallowed his words back. He had already been smacked in the face by Shi Xiaobai so many times that he had learned his lesson.
