And because of that, she had relied on her archery skills that were improving by the day and her unique superpower to allow her to advance without obstruction during the academic faction selection tournament. It only ended when she met Bunny Cao.
The semi-final match was a trouncing that had no fancy highlights. Even she found it boring for the audience.
Bunny Cao was clearly about the same age as her. She was even half a year younger. Why was the difference in strength so immense?
Although she had been defeated in the match with Mù Yaotian for third place, she was only barely defeated. She could discover what was lacking from her failures. From that, she could continue working hard and progress so that she could fight another time.
But in the battle with Bunny Cao, it was an abject defeat. She did not even have the chance to fight back. She was unable to gain any experience from the utter defeat she had suffered. She could only summarize the great disparity of that match to two points—Bunny Cao was too strong and she was too weak.
This was a situation that was more despairing. She did not know how she could defeat Bunny Cao. Even the thought of it was difficult. It was as if her subconsciousness had determined that Bunny Cao was an opponent that could not be defeated no matter how much hard work she put in.
She had nearly lost the courage and confidence to attempt pursuing Bunny Cao.
After the abject defeat during the semi-finals, Xiao Xiao had locked herself in her room and stayed in bed for an entire day before she gradually found her fighting spirit again.
But just a while ago, the fighting spirit that she had reignited through great difficulty was extinguished once again.
Xiao Xiao regretted watching the final match that had ended not long ago.
The battle lasted for more than ten minutes and it was extremely intense. As such, Xiao Xiao realized how 'nonchalant' Bunny Cao was when she battled her. Compared to the strength she showed during the semi-finals, Bunny Cao at the final match looked like a fierce tiger that had finally opened its eyes.
It was even possible that Bunny Cao did not even use all her strength during the final match.
"What should I do in order to chase up to her?"
Xiao Xiao sighed inwardly. At that moment, she had an unprecedented thirst for becoming stronger. Yet, she felt more dispirited and powerless than ever before.
Suddenly, a familiar but also unfamiliar figure appeared in the scene outside the window that hurled backward.
Xiao Xiao's pupils constricted slightly.
Although it was just a cursory glance, the figure she saw was just too special. Xiao Xiao had managed to recognize that person with a glance.
With a peculiar bowl cut, she wore a cotton blouse and a red scarf around her neck despite the hot weather. She wore a short skirt but underneath it was a pair of blue track pants. She held a half-eaten bun in her hand as she skipped down the highway.
And most importantly, there was a visually estimated pair of proud 36E breasts that could not be hidden at all by the loose cotton blouse!
Who else was it but Bunny Cao?
Xiao Xiao could not help but shout at her old steward, "Stop the car!"

Chapter488 This isn't an illness, but fate!
Having met Bunny Cao again on Beijing Third Ring Road was equivalent to capturing a live big-boobed loli. Xiao Xiao was extremely careful this time as she held on to Bunny Cao, afraid that she would suddenly disappear again.
Xiao Xiao spent lots of effort before finally convincing Bunny Cao, who had insisted on going alone. She tried coaxing her with all kinds of deceit before the girl who had an extremely bad sense of direction boarded the car reluctantly.
The car turned around and headed for the Caesar Grand Hotel branch that was closest to Dragon Summer Stadium.
Xiao Xiao and Bunny Cao sat in the back together. As they were not familiar with each other, there was a tiny distance separating them in the middle.
After Bunny Cao got into the car, she began silently stuffing meat buns into her mouth. Perhaps she was somewhat unhappy that her 'tour of getting lost as she wished' had been interrupted forcefully. The speed at which she ate the buns was much faster than before. She would finish one big bun in less than thirty seconds.
After finishing one, Bunny Cao would immediately use spatial magic without taking a break and 'steal' a new piping hot bun.
Although Xiao Xiao was not familiar with magic, she had some general knowledge. Such 'spatial transference' of an object from a great distance away into one's hand was considered an abstruse form of magic. It was a high-grade magical spell that drained a lot of mana.
Xiao Xiao was suspecting that the reason why Bunny Cao was able to continuously cast magical spells for more than ten minutes without showing any signs of fatigue at the finals was that she had repeatedly used such high-grade spatial magic on a daily basis.
Every thirty seconds, Bunny Cao would finish eating a huge bun and another would follow. There was no sign of her stopping or resting. Soon, she had eaten nearly ten.
Xiao Xiao stared at her in a dumbfounded manner as she could not help but suspect that Bunny Cao was a humanoid monster. If not, how could a human's stomach store so many meat buns?
Xiao Xiao felt her scalp tingle as she finally could not help but ask, "Are…meat buns that delicious?"
Bunny Cao turned her head over. First, her eyes lit up as she nodded, but moments later, she frowned and shook her head.
After she swallowed the food in her mouth, Bunny Cao mumbled, "Meat buns are very fragrant but eating too many of them makes them taste bad. However…meat buns are best for filling the stomach!"
No matter how delicious a delicacy was, the repeated eating of it would make one sick of it. That was an easily understandable point.
But what did she mean by meat buns being the best for filling the stomach?
Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment before considering how she should mince her words. She said, "Bunny, could it be that you eat so many meat buns…just to fill your stomach?"
Bunny chewed on her food as she nodded her head as if it was for granted.
Xiao Xiao said with a stiff smile, "You aren't full even after eating so many meat buns?"
Bunny nodded and mumbled, "I can't be satiated. My stomach just keeps feeling hungry."
A dark cloud hung over Xiao Xiao's head as she thought to herself.
You are indeed a humanoid monster!
"Have you always been eating so much food?"
Xiao Xiao ventured a guess once again. There was no way around it. She was too curious about the matter. An ordinary person would be considered a competitive eater if one did not die from a ruptured stomach after eating so many meat buns. Yet, Bunny Cao was still hungry. There was clearly a problem!
Bunny said with a shake of the head, "It wasn't like this in the past. Slightly more than ten days ago, I suddenly felt very, very hungry. I wasn't filled no matter how much I ate…Then it became what it is now…Meat buns are just snacks. It curbs some of the hunger but I have to eat dozens of kilograms of meat to be satiated. Daddy says that I'm almost draining the family of all its money with my appetite!"
Bunny had said it in a simple manner but it made Xiao Xiao's scalp tingle.
So many meat buns were just a snack? She had to eat dozens of kilograms of meat just to be satiated?
It suddenly happened more than ten days ago?
Was it an illness?
Furthermore, it was quite serious!
"Can this illness be cured?"
Xiao Xiao blurted out her thoughts before she hurriedly covered her mouth. She realized that she had been too rash. Even though Bunny did not seem like a person who would mind, how could she say such 'impolite' words?
"It's not an illness."
What caught Xiao Xiao by surprise was that Bunny suddenly swallowed the food in her mouth before her expression turned slig
htly serious. She said solemnly, "Daddy said it's not an illness but fate!"
Xiao Xiao was alarmed. She felt the topic seem to turn a little too heavy. "It's not an illness but fate." Such a saying usually brings with it an undisclosable secret.
Was it appropriate for her to probe into Bunny Cao's secret?
Xiao Xiao immediately did not wish to continue asking.
However, Bunny's expression suddenly changed as she pouted and said unhappily, "I think it's an illness. If not, why would I suddenly be constantly hungry for no good reason? But even Granny Divine Healer can't cure it so Daddy has given up. He said that an incurable illness is a kind of fate and that I should submit to fate…"
Xiao Xiao gaped and was momentarily at a loss as to what to say.
An incurable illness was fate. Wasn't she being too broad-minded?
To think that she had accidentally heard a humongous secret. So she had really come down ill. However, the illness was strange. It actually forced Bunny Cao to eat dozens of kilograms of meat a day to be barely satiated? After all this, where did the food she eat go to? It couldn't really enter her stomach, right?
Xiao Xiao's mind was filled with questions but she eventually did not ask. Although Bunny Cao was free from care or worries and she did not mind talking about anything, she couldn't thicken her skin to dig up her secrets, right?
With Xiao Xiao falling silent, Bunny's attention returned to the meat buns. She was eating them in delight, as though there was no hint of her being 'sick' of them.
Indeed, Bunny could not extricate herself from the immersion of meat buns. If not, how could an ordinary person choose meat buns as a snack!?
Xiao Xiao shook her head as she smiled inwardly. She turned to look at the scenery outside the window.
There was silence along the way. Xiao Xiao was quiet while Bunny focused on eating her meat buns.
After a long while, Xiao Xiao felt restless and habitually took out her cell phone to refresh the forum, "Shi Xiaobai Bar".
"Ah!"
Xiao Xiao nearly cried out loudly when she took a glance at it!
「 Ah, ah, ah! Shi Xiaobai has finally reached the eighth level!」
「 The fourth trial-taker in history to reach the eighth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower is born! Shi Xiaobai does not let down the masses! 」
「 The trial's stone monument has been updated. Shi Xiaobai's name is positioned at the eighth level. Picture as proof! 」
「 The peak of China's end-game style. Can Shi Xiaobai be able to prove to the world that 'end-game' styles still work? Stay tuned for this year's World Tournament! 」
「 Champagne tonight for a celebration! 」
「 Getting a room tonight for a celebration! 」
「 Getting KFC tonight for a celebration! 」
「 Although it's 'Shi Xiaobai Bar'…please don't celebrate. Boohoohoo. My most beloved Speechless Li is dead! 」
…
What could be seen were all threads of Shi Xiaobai's reaching of the eighth level but intermixed within, there were a few threads about the grievous news of Speechless Li's death. Xiao Xiao began browsing through the threads without stopping as she felt mixed emotions.
She did not know Speechless Li, so would not go as far as to feel sad for the tragic news of Speechless Li's death. However, for China to lose a young genius and an opponent she could aim for as a goal, she still felt somewhat repressed being a girl with proper values.
But at the same time, the news of Shi Xiaobai reaching the eighth level made her extremely excited. She could not help but clench her fist!
Little Pervert, well done!
Xiao Xiao roared in her heart.
She felt her mind shaking and could not help but continuously refresh the forum so as to see the constantly updating threads.
Suddenly, a thread with reply counts constantly surging attracted Xiao Xiao's attention.
「 Prediction Thread—Shi Xiaobai won't spend more than an hour in the eighth level! 」

Chapter489 The Elusive Big Boobed Loli
"H…Hello."
Xiao Xiao disembarked the car and briskly caught up to Bunny Cao as she greeted with an overcautious expression. She was always dignified but against this same-aged girl, she could not help but feel hesitant. She felt powerless trying to chase after the girl but the girl also made her fighting spirit soar.
Bunny Cao turned her head over and took a bite on the meat bun in her hand. As she chewed, she frowned as if trying to recall. After blinking her eyes, she mumbled, "Xiao…Xiao…Xiao…"
Although 'Xiao Xiao' and her surname 'Xiao' repeated twice was pronounced the same, one could tell from Bunny Cao's expression that all she remembered was Xiao Xiao's surname. She had forgotten Xiao Xiao's first name.
"Xiao Xiao, the second Xiao has an additional 'water' radical."
Xiao Xiao wasn't vexed as she replied with a smile.
She had heard some rumors of Bunny Cao and she knew that the girl was an oddity among oddities. It was normal for Bunny Cao to not remember her name.
Have you seen a bowl-cut girl skipping down a highway while wearing cotton clothes and a scarf on a hot summer day?
Have you seen a young girl dressed oddly in a long track pants beneath her short skirt?
Have you seen a big-boobed loli who eats meat buns all day? She eats so much that she would not forget to take a bite on her meat bun even during an intense battle during the finals?
That is Bunny Cao.
"I remember you," said Bunny Cao happily as her eyes lit up slightly while she suddenly pointed at Xiao Xiao.
Although she had said 'I remember you', her expression was clearly one of—Ah, I finally remember. You are…
Fine, even an opponent at the semi-finals can't make you remember?
Or is it because I'm too weak?
Xiao Xiao was slightly disheartened but she very quickly calmed herself down. She said with a smile, "Why are you here?"
Bunny Cao was the only person who had not appeared during the expedition ceremony. Xiao Xiao had previously believed that Bunny Cao's lack of attendance was because something had cropped up urgently, but who knew that she was just skipping down a highway?
Bunny Cao took another bite at her meat bun and mumbled, "I was hungry and came out for lunch. I'm on the way back to Dragon…Dragon…Dragon…"
Xiao Xiao was dumbfounded
You had eaten five large meat buns during the finals and you are still eating one now. Why are you so hungry?
Did you run all the way to Beijing Third Ring Road in order to eat lunch? This place is more than ten kilometers away from Dragon Summer Stadium. Furthermore, there aren't any restaurants on the highway?
Also, at least remember the name, Dragon Summer Stadium, or else, how are you returning!?
Forget it. There are too many things to complain about. I don't even know where to even begin.
Xiao Xiao suddenly recalled of rumors that Bunny Cao, who had a poor sense of direction, would frequently get lost in school but she would still often take long trips. Who knew that the rumor was true!
Did true geniuses all have such a 'personality'?
The corners of Xiao Xiao's mouth twitched but she tried her best to maintain a natural smile. She said, "The expedition ceremony has just ended. Everyone at Dragon Summer Stadium has already left."
"So fast?"
Bunny Cao was slightly dumbfounded as she quickly stuffed the remaining tiny piece of meat bun into her mouth. Immediately following that, her tiny hand extended upwards as a six-pointed star runic formation bloomed from her palm. An instant later, a hot piping meat bun appeared out of thin air and fell into her hand.
Bunny Cao swallowed the food in her mouth and began to delightfully take a nibble at the meat bun. All of this happened in a blink of an eye as she mumbled, "It ended just as I went to have a meal?"
Xiao Xiao
gave a helpless smile. You ran more than ten kilometers away to have a meal and ate for more than an hour before returning.
Not only do you lack a sense of direction, you also lack a sense of time.
Furthermore, didn't you just eat a meal? Why are you consuming one meat bun after another?
Also, to use such high-grade spatial magic to 'steal' meat buns for eating. Is that really appropriate?
Sigh. This won't do. I can't complain anymore or I'll become weird as well.
Xiao Xiao felt that the invincible image she had of Bunny Cao was crumbling. She tried her best to maintain her smile as she said, "It has been more than an hour since the finals ended. The expedition ceremony was held for half an hour. However, nothing important was announced. We will be informed of the actual time of the collective training after the organization faction finishes their selection."
"Oh, that's good."
Bunny Cao took another bite at the meat bun. She ate her meat buns one bite after another. Although each bite was a tiny nibble, she was extremely fast. She probably ate much faster than a grown man.
Furthermore, after finishing one bun, she would immediately use spatial magic to 'steal' another. How many meat buns would she eat a day?
Xiao Xiao could not help but steal a glance at Bunny Cao's belly. Although her ample breasts propped her top high up, it was still possible to tell that the girl's belly was rather flat. Her waist was extremely thin and slender.
On another careful look, she immediately realized that Bunny Cao's figure was excellent. It could be said to be petite and exquisite. She was about 1.6 meters tall and she wasn't considered too tall or short. Other than the two big bunnies on her chest that were visually estimated at 36E, every other part looked slender. Her arms were willowy and her buttocks were perky. Her legs were long and upright. She was not overly meaty or overly slim. Her proportions were excellent.
Furthermore, Bunny Cao's skin was exceptional. Redness suffused from her fair skin which resembled a baby's. It was as though its moisture could be squeezed out with a pinch.
