Yama Minamiya immediately walked up in preparation to check Shi Xiaobai's physical condition. Shi Xiaobai was clearly suppressing his limits!
But at this moment, Shi Xiaobai made a surprising move!
Shi Xiaobai did not stop at the finish line. Under Mu Yuesheng's surprised gaze and Yama Minamiya's cry, he continued running his hundred and first lap!
With firm steps, without any breaks or slowing down, he began running his hundred and first lap!
What was...Shi Xiaobai doing?
Mu Yuesheng and Yama Minamiya were completely puzzled. At the same time, they fixated their sights on Shi Xiaobai.
The truth was quickly revealed.
When Shi Xiaobai passed by Wen Hezheng, he dropped his speed to its lowest.
He patted Wen Hezheng, who was about to faint from exhaustion, on the shoulder heavily and shouted loudly, "Come on!"
After cheering her on, Shi Xiaobai charged forward once again.
At that moment, Yama Minamiya and Mu Yuesheng were moved by Shi Xiaobai's actions.
Yama Minamiya said, "What a good child."
Mu Yuesheng said, "A truly worthy opponent."
The person who was most moved was Wen Hezheng. She was extremely touched as an inexplicable force welled up inside her. With Shi Xiaobai's cheering her on, she felt that she was given energy to persist on!
Hey? It seems like...I fucking have more strength now?
Wen Hezheng stared, surprised to realize that her exhausted body now had the energy to run a bit more. Although there was only a tiny bit of energy, it was a true existence.
Ah, was this the power of being touched?
This was Lord Shi Xiaobai's cheering dance?
At this moment, Wen Hezheng was able to take another stride!
...
Shi Xiaobai, who quickly finished his one hundred and first lap, had his eyes burning and laughing in his heart.
He had finally found an ingenious method to train his Massage Technique of God!
Now, there was an infinitely tired fat chick that was in desperate need of energy waiting for his Massage Technique of God to restore her!
That heavy pat and light pinch lasted only for a moment, so the amount of energy restored was still relatively minute.
But from the looks of it, he could do it another few hundred times!
Shi Xiaobai was roaring with laughter in his heart!

Chapter164 The Choice of Courting Death
The Massage Technique of God was an extremely awesome technique, and because it was awesome, it was willful!
To improve the Massage Technique of God's proficiency, it was pointless to crazily massage a random person for twenty-four hours straight. The resulting improvement would be negligible. Only after the massage resulted in effects would the Massage Technique of God be improved. Furthermore, the more obvious the effect, the greater the proficiency gained.
Taking the present Wen Hezheng as an example, just as Wen Hezheng was feeling exhausted, Shi Xiaobai just needed to give Wen Hezheng a light squeeze—"Divine Massage of Giving Spring to Withered Wood". This made Wen Hezheng, who was like a fish about to die of thirst, feel like she was watered with a pail of clear water. The results of the massage was understandably much better than normal.
Hence, Shi Xiaobai choose to do the best thing he could do at the moment in time. Every lap he finished running, he would give Wen Hezheng a "Divine Massage of Giving Spring to Withered Wood" whenever he passed her. Wen Hezheng would immediately feel invigorated, and temporarily have her strength restored to continue her running. Shi Xiaobai's proficiency in the Massage Technique of God was improving as a result.
Furthermore, when Shi Xiaobai passed Wen Hezheng in his subsequent lap, it was the moment when Wen Hezheng returned to a state of exhaustion, so the effects of "Divine Massage of Giving Spring to Withered Wood" were excellent.
In summary, Shi Xiaobai had gone to painstaking efforts in order to improve his "Massage Technique of God". As he ran lap after lap, he would pat Wen Hezheng on the shoulder and shout an encouraging, "come on", whenever he passed her.
Shi Xiaobai even wanted to replicate the same trick on Kevin, but unfortunately Blondy Narcissist was ungrateful. He immediately cursed at Shi Xiaobai to "scram" like a tiny and wary injured beast.
Time continued to pass.
Mu Yuesheng had already found a spot to enter Cogitation with her eyes closed. However, it was located not too far away from the track. As such, she could hear every "come on" shout from Shi Xiaobai, immediately filling her with emotion.
Maybe, she was astonished at Shi Xiaobai's stamina, or maybe it was the friendship Shi Xiaobai had for Wen Hezheng. If Wen Hezheng was a beauty, it could be speculated that Shi Xiaobai's actions were malicious in nature. However, not only was Wen Hezheng not a beauty, she was a fat and short fatso.
Furthermore, from the way Wen Hezheng previously greeted Shi Xiaobai and the words they exchanged, it was obvious they did not know each other previously. They did not have many years of friendship.
Then, such a matter was worth pondering.
Why was Shi Xiaobai willing to run hundreds of laps just to encourage Wen Hezheng?
Was it because they were all [Gaia] rookies?
Was it because they had a common sense of honor before they faced members from other hero organizations during the mass selection?
If that was the case, that would be extremely good.
With this thought in mind, Mu Yuesheng could not help but smile.
Yama Minamiya was equally astonished at Shi Xiaobai's stamina. The little monster had run more than a few hundred laps. Although he was not sprinting at full speed like before, his speed was still not any much slower.
Wouldn't he feel tired after running a few hundred laps while maintaining this speed?
Yama Minamiya was even more astonished by Wen Hezheng's willpower. He knew very well that Wen Hezheng had long reached her limits. It was likely she would collapse onto the ground at any time, but every time Shi Xiaobai passed her and cheered her on, she would immediately squeeze out whatever potential she had left, and run forward again as though she was rejuvenated by springwater.
What powers gave her the ability to surpass herself, overcome fatigue and spur her on to exceed her limits?
It was Shi Xiaobai's encouragement and more likely her will!
If encouragement could make an athlete have a burst of power, then wouldn't sporting competitions be a battle of whose cheerleaders were better?
Everything depended on the candidates willpower!
After receiving an encouragement, the ability to convert this encouragement into energy was the manifestation of an athlete's willpower!
At this moment, Yama Minamiya could tell that Wen Hezheng's willpower was heaven-defying. Every encouragement Shi Xiaobai gave her was converted by her into energy. Once or twice was fine, but for it to consecutively happen a hundred times or even more, how indomitable was her willpower?
With this willpower, how could she have eaten so much till she became a pig? She could have lost weight at any moment!
Yama Minamiya was left speechless in wonder. He decided to find a chance to talk to the fat pig who happened to be the Division Minister of [Order].
You may have all sorts of treasures, but surely it's too much to make a person with such willpower to eat her way into becoming a fat pig.
At this moment, Kevin had finished running seventy-three laps, but he was nearing his limits. He was pretty much walking, but he was also very strong-willed. However, it manifested in the form of his resolute roar of "scram" whenever Shi Xiaobai passed him.
And at this moment, Wen Hezheng was already in the midst of running her final lap. She herself found it unbelievable that she was able to finish running the entire distance. She could only credit this to Lord Shi Xiaobai's power.
If not for Lord Shi Xiaobai's encouragem
ent, she would have long slammed to the ground out of exhaustion. His encouragement gave her a burst of energy every time.
Although Wen Hezheng found it somewhat weird, it did not help but move her.
Lord Shi Xiaobai had ran a few hundreds laps in order to cheer her on!
He was willing to go this far for the ugly her who he had just met and lacked any merits!
If she was a beauty, if she was as excellent as Mu Yuesheng or Riko, then...she would definitely help Shi Xiaobai find the perfect match.
Lord Shi Xiaobai, heterosexuality does not end well. There would only be happiness if male gods are matched to male gods!
When Wen Hezheng reached the finishing line, she watched Shi Xiaobai on the track with teary eyes. She said in her heart—Lord Shi Xiaobai, I like you. I will definitely find you the best male god. You must be happy!
...
Shi Xiaobai was of course feeling happy. Although he had run so many laps and his body was feeling exhausted to the point of Unleaking Turtle Aura being unable to inhibit the soreness in his legs, he was feeling happy in his heart.
This was because his Massage Technique of God was about to break through to the "Familiarized Proficiency" realm. This was a very significant upgrade. Everything was worth it!
At this moment, a familiar voice rang out in his mind.
"Wen Hezheng's affection for you has reached 80 (Like)."
Shi Xiaobai was stunned. He was somewhat astonished why the Absolute Choice system would inform him of this. Could it be...
The system's voice immediately resounded once again.
"Kevin's affection for Wen Hezheng is currently at –100 (Extremely close to hatred)
Shi Xiaobai curled his mouth. Indeed, Big Bro System was being naughty.
Back when Shi Xiaobai faced his Absolute Choice, he had naturally chosen the better reward which was harder in difficulty—[ In three days, make Kevin's affection for Wen Hezheng reach 80 (Like) ]
And the reason why the system informed him of the current standing was simple. There was no other reason then telling him—You know now that you have courted death, right?
If you chose Choice 2, you would have already succeeded.
By choosing Choice 1, you still have a long way to go!
Alright, to go from –100 to +80, the drastic improvement in affection that needed to occur in three days was simply wishful thinking.
However, who was Shi Xiaobai?
"There is nothing This King can't do."
The fun has only just begun!

Chapter165 Knocking on the Wrong Door
Eventually, Kevin failed to finish running a hundred laps. He collapsed to the ground out of exhaustion on his eightieth lap. Shi Xiaobai, who he had refused many times, did not forcefully use Massage Technique of God on him to "extend his life". Although Kevin's current state was perfect for raising his Massage Technique of God's proficiency level, Shi Xiaobai did not like to take advantage of others and do something that was strongly against their will.
Just imagine if you were in his shoes. If you were suddenly filled with energy after being patted on the shoulder and having "come on" said to you by someone you hated greatly, what would you think? How would you view yourself?
Would you sorrowfully believe that you were actually a "little slut" who was reluctant in the heart, but physically honest? Would you even give up and really become a "little slut"?
Don't do unto others what you don't want others to do unto you!
Shi Xiaobai sighed and he eventually held back his desires to use the Massage Technique of God on him.
Yama Minamiya did not say a word about Kevin's failure to complete the course. The value of four hundred kilometers was just a number to probe the standards and limits of the four.
Mu Yuesheng was within expectations, powerful and stable.
Shi Xiaobai astonished him. He could not help but sigh that division [Annihilation] had produced an impressive genius this year. He decided that he would lower his threshold as a father if it was possible for Shi Xiaobai and Riko to develop a relationship.
Wen Hezheng was the one who surprised him the most. He was of the impression that the fat chick would be the first to collapse, but he never expected her to possess indomitable will. With such willpower, as long as she was given sufficient motivation, anything was possible.
Kevin did not exceed his expectations but he had also disappointed him. Before this child collapsed, his eyes were not burning with resolute fighting spirit but disbelief and truculence. He could not believe that Wen Hezheng had managed to finish a hundred laps, and was unwilling to accept that he was in last place. Right to the very end, he did not realize that for this four hundred kilometer long-distance run, the person he needed to gain victory over was none other than himself.
Yama Minamiya sighed in his heart. If the organization senate members truly chose long-distance running as the first elimination filter, the distance would definitely be more than four hundred kilometers. There might even be a time limit. If that happened, Kevin and Wen Hezheng would no doubt be effectively eliminated. And three days was not enough to significantly raise their stamina at all.
Yama Minamiya personally carried Kevin to the medical room. He was secretly observing Kevin, but to his great disappointment, the child's eyes were only filled with disbelief and truculence, without a trace of unyieldingness and indignation.
Even though Kevin was not a rookie from his division, Yama Minamiya could not help but feel compassion for him as a fellow [Gaia] personnel.
After all, Kevin was a child who lacked willpower and was just too self-centered. He was like a flower in a greenhouse, but sooner or later, he would experience failure and defeat. He might feel frustration and sadness, but he would be made aware of his shortcomings, before obtaining true growth.
However, the failure Kevin suffered today was not serious nor trivial. He did not look straight at his failure, so he was destined to never obtain true growth.
Yama Minamiya attended to Kevin, who was resting on a sick bed with his eyes closed, for a while. Finally, with a sigh, he turned around and walked out.
However, when he reached the entrance, he suddenly heard a muffled cry coming from under a blanket behind him.
Yama Minamiya was stunned. Kevin was crying?
The corner of Yama Minamiya's mouth curled into a smile.
It appears that this child is not as terrible as he imagined.
...
Although the three-day training camp was chosen to be held in Steel City, [Gaia] specially prepared places for them to stay in order to deepen the relationships between the trainees.
It was given the nice name of training cohabitation, which had the goal to inculcate feelings.
But unfortunately, Kevin did not appear at dinner time. As for Mu Yuesheng, she took a few hurried mouthfuls of her dinner before returning to her room to continue her Cogitation. Wen Hezheng finished her highly nutritious dinner in about ten seconds before leaving once again. Clearly, she was going to another restaurant to have a feast.
As such, Shi Xiaobai was the only one left in the dining hall during dinner. Of course, Shi Xiaobai did not have any thoughts on this matter. He too wanted to return to his room for Cogitation after he was satiated.
As a result, this period of time in the evening which was meant for the four rookies to interact appeared somewhat redundant.
...
At night, 10pm.
Shi Xiaobai opened his eyes and woke up from Cogitation. He changed his clothes and walked out his room.
Shi Xiaobai walked silently along the hallway and passed by Kevin's room. Quickly, he reached another hallway.
There were two rooms that were still lit along the hallway.
"Eh? Which room was it?"
Shi Xiaobai was momentarily at a loss. He knew that Wen Hezheng's room was along the hallway in front of him, but he
did not know which room it was.
Shi Xiaobai quickly gave up thinking. Without any hesitation, he walked towards the room closest to him and knocked forcefully on the door.
"Knock! Knock! Knock!"
After knocking thrice, Shi Xiaobai stopped and waited silently.
After a moment, the door opened, revealing half a pretty face. There was a hint of surprise in the brown pair of eyes.
"It's you? Is there something?"
Mu Yuesheng was slightly surprised.
Why was Shi Xiaobai visiting her at this time of the night?
Shi Xiaobai immediately shook his head and said, "Sorry, This King knocked on the wrong door."
After expressing his apology with a nod, he walked to the other room along the hallway, and once again, he knocked on the door thrice.
The door quickly opened, and Wen Hezheng also exclaimed in surprise, "Lord Shi Xiaobai? Why are you..."
Shi Xiaobai directly said, "This King has something to talk to you about."
Wen Hezheng immediately invited him saying, "Oh, please come in."
Shi Xiaobai did not hesitate and directly walked into the room.
Mu Yuesheng frowned slightly as she noticed Wen Hezheng closing the door.
She was curious over Shi Xiaobai's reason for finding Wen Hezheng at this time. However, curiosity was something that wasted a great deal of time.
Mu Yuesheng did not want to waste time, so she closed the door and went back into her room. Sitting on her bed, she continued her Cogitation.
There was a significant difference between the ninth and tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm. Furthermore, they were separated by a huge step.
Mu Yuesheng knew that if she did not rise to the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, it was unlikely she could stand out during the mass selection.
She liked [Gaia]. Even though she did not have any friends because she spent all her time in cultivation, she still liked [Gaia].
There was no other reason. The only reason was because she lived here and breathed its air. She felt that it was her responsibility to bring it honor.
