The reason why Shi Xiaobai's arm was trembling was because he had to continuously compress his Psionic Power during the slow punching process.
Surging Psionic Power began to condense and compress where his fist was, forming a stunning amount of power that would suddenly burst out. It was like turbulent water that was blocked by a closed valve. Once the valve was broken through, the water would pour out with tremendous force.
The tip of Shi Xiaobai's first was that valve. And his arm was the pipe for the waterflow. At this moment, as Shi Xiaobai's fist was slowly moving downwards, the accumulated Psionic Power was getting further compressed, as though the water pipes were constantly brimming with water. The water pipes could no longer take it anymore!
Shi Xiaobai's arm began to swell with Psionic Power, as though his arm would explode at any time. Excruciating pain began to spread from his arm towards his entire body as Shi Xiaobai immediately used "Unleaking Turtle Aura" to inhibit the pain!
And at the moment the pain occurred, "This Turtle Is Hardest" also began to come into effect. Shi Xiaobai could intuitively sense that his right hand and arm's defense numbers were constantly rising. 1...3...4...4.5...
At this moment, Filthy Turtle Divine Technique was showing its godly powers through a combo!

Chapter122 Who is Chen Lingcun
At this moment, Filthy Turtle Divine Technique was showing its godly powers through a combo!
But...
"Kacha, kacha, kacha..."
The sounds of bones cracking in Shi Xiaobai's arm began to continuously explode like firecrackers. Ye Jiaquan, who was closest to him, was stunned.
How many bones had to rupture in order to produce such a sound? How unimaginably painful would that be?
Shi Xiaobai's brows began to knit as his mouth began to utter a soft cry. "Unleaking Turtle Aura" could no longer completely inhibit the excruciating pain he was receiving from his bones cracking. This was the most Filthy Turtle Divine Technique could inhibit and also its limit. Be it the inhibition of pain from "Unleaking Turtle Aura" or the tempering of body through damage with "This Turtle Is Hardest", or the compressive force of "Turtle-speed Divine Punch", their limits were whatever Shi Xiaobai's body could withstand!
And at this moment, Shi Xiaobai's arm could no longer take it any further. If this carried on, his entire arm might very well be crippled!
But!
Shi Xiaobai looked at the ground that was just a few centimeters away from the ground. Gritting his teeth and with an adamance flash past his eyes, he let out a muffled angry roar!
Using a period of two minutes, Shi Xiaobai's fist had finally arrived from his chest to the hard steel floor. It was still a very slow touch, with no sudden impact at the very last moment. It was like how a slowly crawling turtle gently touched a wall.
"Boom!"
A deafening explosion immediately resounded, with dozens of steel tiles splashing out. The steel floor beneath Shi Xiaobai's fist immediately shattered, with cracks several meters in radius emanating radially out of the steel ground. And in the middle, even the soil beneath the steel plates had collapsed into a giant pothole.
The power of that one punch was extremely terrifying!
"Holy shit!?"
"Was that for real?"
"No way!"
The rookies who turned over when they heard the explosion saw a strange scene as they uttered their astonishment. As for those that had been paying attention to Shi Xiaobai were now watching on in gaped silence having witnessed the entire process of that one punch, as though they had seen a ghost.
Even the composed Yama Minamiya also mentally shouted in English—What the fuck!?
No words could describe such a shocking scene. It was like a slowly crawling turtle coming in front of a steel wall at an extremely slow speed, and without any sudden shocking burst in speed, it just slowly used its turtle head to prod the steel wall, and immediately the steel wall exploded!
This was fucking unscientific!
"Awesome, my Shi Xiaobai."
After Riko recovered from being completely lost for words, she realized her father was also completely in a state of shock. Immediately she felt like she had accomplished something through Shi Xiaobai's achievements. She had never made her father this shocked despite her years of hard work.
Riko hurriedly pretended to stayed composed and patted Yama Minamiya on the shoulder. Pretending to stay calm, she said, "How is it? My little brother Xiaobai would do, right?"
Yama Minamiya's expression changed and hurriedly said, "Riko, why don't you just submit? I think this child is not bad. Although he doesn't look as all-rounded like Red Lotus, his future prospects are extremely promising. Although he is just three years younger than you..."
"Stop it!"
Riko hurriedly cut Yama Minamiya off. She was extremely embarrassed because this was her father.
Where did that unsmiling Yama Minamiya go to? Where did his usual temperament go to!?
Although Shi Xiaobai's talent was pretty freakish and was a kind person, he was a dishonest little pervert!
Riko rolled her eyes at Yama Minamiya and turned to look at Shi Xiaobai. Suddenly, her pupils constricted because at this moment, Shi Xiaobai had slowly stood up. His entire right arm was limply dangling and appeared slightly distorted. Clearly, the broken bones in his arm was in a rather grave situation.
Riko was anxious as she wanted to charge into the field, but someone had realized this earlier than her. The elder in control of the situation had appeared before Shi Xiaobai. A yellow beam of light was emitted from the elder's hands which encased Shi Xiaobai's arm.
Shi Xiaobai began to frown. Even though he was using "Unleaking Turtle Aura" to suppress his pain receptors, he still felt painful sensations coming from his arm.
The elder's eyes changed and looked at Shi Xiaobai with aghast. He was administering emergency healing techniques on Shi Xiaobai and it should have been extremely painful, but Shi Xiaobai did not even make a grunt?
"This child..."
The elder was alarmed as he became more meticulous in healing Shi Xiaobai's injuries. If this child's arm were to have any residual side effects, [Gaia] was not the only one which would suffer a loss, it was very likely to be a loss for all of humanity.
...
At this moment, everyone was stunned by Shi Xiaobai's punch and stopped their fights. They turned their eyes towards Shi Xiaobai.
"This King has a question to ask all of you."
Shi Xiaobai took a deep breath. The power of the punch actually far exceeded his expectations, and the price he had to pay had exceeded his expectations as well, but the effects had finally achieved what he expected.
Everyone's ears pricked up!
"Does anyone know where Chen Lingcun is?" Shi Xiaobai loudly asked his question.
At this moment, everyone was indeed listening to Shi Xiaobai's voice. Even Hua Pengju pricked his ears up from the shock that came from that single punch. They were all waiting for Shi Xiaobai's question. If they knew the answer, they were willing to tell Shi Xiaobai just for on account of that single punch.
However, after Shi Xiaobai finished asking his question, everyone was stunned. There was no other reason because no one knew the answer. They were even puzzled by the question itself.
People on the field began to noisily engage in private discussion.
"Who is Chen Lingcun?"
"Does any of you know this person?"
"No, I have never heard of such a name."
"Neither have I."
"..."
The rookies expressed that they did not know of the person Chen Lingcun.
Shi Xiaobai was stunned. He had envisioned the possibility that no one knew of Chen Lingcun's whereabouts since even Ye Jiaquan, who was closest to him, did not know. However, Shi Xiaobai never expected that the rookies claimed to not know Chen Lingcun, to the point of never hea
ring this name before.
How was this possible?
It was impossible!
Shi Xiaobai recalled the scene that once angered him, and because he was once again enraged, his face began to sink. He surveyed the crowd and coldly said, "All of you once mocked him because of his weakliness and used the ugliest expressions to say the most toxic of words at him. Now are all of you telling This King that you do not know him, to the point of not even knowing his name?"
Shi Xiaobai angrily looked at everyone like a fierce tiger.
The rookies' faces grew somber. They had been shocked by "Turtle-speed Divine Punch", but that was it. It did not mean they could endure Shi Xiaobai's wanton slandering.
They had not even heard of the name Chen Lingcun, so when had they ever mocked this person and used the ugliest expressions? The most toxic of words?
This was unconcealed slandering, one that was completely baseless!
What gave you, Tu Dahei, the right to slander us?
You can slander our characters just because of that punch that was some trickery?
At this moment, the look in a large number of rookies' eyes changed. They exchanged looks with their partners and quietly clenched their fists. They took a slighty step forward, as though they were dozen of fierce wolves that were surrounding a ferocious tiger!

Chapter123 Refreshing your world view
The rookies looked at Shi Xiaobai angrily like savage wolves while the elder healed Shi Xiaobai of his injuries. If not for the elder, the group of rookies would probably have vent their anger by pouncing at Shi Xiaobai and beating him up.
Of course, it was all thanks to the elder's presence, or the rookies would probably vomit blood from realizing that they had been diligently giving Shi Xiaobai wave after waves of "happy endings" after beating him up.
Shi Xiaobai was equally looking angrily at the crowd. He never bowed down against the forces of evil and was determined never to bow, what more to these experience-giving underlings.
So he was unafraid of this battle, in fact, he also wanted to furiously charge forward to vent his pent up anger.
However, Shi Xiaobai eventually repressed the anger in his heart because he knew it was meaningless. He might be able to beat them down and "torture" them for a confession, but the information he obtained could not be verified for its veracity, so doing so was too much a waste of time.
Shi Xiaobai slowly closed his eyes as his mind gradually calmed down. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes looked as calm as water. He no longer looked at the other rookies, as though they were nonexistent.
Shi Xiaobai calmly accepted the grave situation of the rookies being unable to provide him with any information because the only way to face the thorns beneath his feet was to carry on forging ahead.
"There must be a way."
Shi Xiaobai began to console himself as he lowered his head to contemplate.
When the rookies saw Shi Xiaobai lower his head, they dismissively sneered in their hearts, thinking that Shi Xiaobai had succumbed. Their fists clenched tighter, but due to the elder's presence, they did not make any rash moves. However, once the free-for-all restarted, they would definitely not let Shi Xiaobai off.
There was a price he needed to pay for slandering them!
The elder's healing also quickly came to its final stages. Even he was unable to fully cure Shi Xiaobai of his injuries. All he could do was do his best to remove any possible residual side effects. At that moment, he began to hesitate when he saw the rookies leering at Shi Xiaobai. He was wondering if he should forcefully eliminate Shi Xiaobai.
Shi Xiaobai’s right hand was temporarily not to be given any stress even at the cost of him losing his eligibility for the collective training. If the rookies flared up and attacked without holding back, it would be disastrous.
The elder thought highly of Shi Xiaobai which resulted in all these concerns. He was even unconsciously extending the healing time.
A number of rookies had begun restarting their own battles, but a large number of rookies were still waiting for the elder's departure.
At this moment, Shi Xiaobai raised his head as he recalled what Ye Jiaquan had recently told him—Chen Lingcun left him a letter!
Maybe Chen Lingcun would mention of his whereabouts in the letter!
Although it was unlikely, it was like a flicker of light in a dark cavern for the stumped Shi Xiaobai.
Ye Jiaquan had mentioned that he had forgotten to bring the letter. Then clearly, it was left in the rookie dormitories. It would definitely waste a lot of time retrieving the letter by taking a return trip.
But...this was already the last possible method!
Shi Xiaobai looked at Ye Jiaquan and asked with an extremely serious expression, "Steel Ox, if This King tells you that Lingcun is currently in grave danger, and the letter he left behind for This King can save his life, what should you do?"
Ye Jiaquan felt like a bolt of lightning had struck him when he heard this.
If the letter he forgot to bring determined Lingcun's life, wouldn't he be indirectly harming Lingcun?
If that was truly the case, what should he do?
"Me will go get the letter!"
Ye Jiaquan stared widely, as he rounded his eyes. After shouting those words, he immediately turned and charged out.
"Make way!"
Ye Jiaquan roared for the rookies blocking his path to make way for him. His eyes were red like a ferocious beast, so those few rookies hurriedly dodged in fright!
At this moment, Ye Jiaquan was blaming himself and feeling extremely anxious. From Shi Xiaobai's various actions, he could guess that Lingcun had very likely encountered danger and it was already at a critical stage. Now, knowing that him forgetting to bring the letter was such an important part of this matter, how could he just sit there idly?
At that moment, Ye Jiaquan was constantly shouting in his heart: Faster, a little bit faster, need to get that letter faster!
At this moment, Ye Jiaquan was like a raging mad bull that was charging forward. His anxiousness had allowed him to break through his limits, so the speed at which he ran was jaw-dropping.
The rookies were completely shocked.
"This silly buffalo actually can run so fast?"
"Fuck, this isn't scientific. He's like a buffalo but he runs faster than a rabbit!"
"Ye Jiaquan, we have underestimated him. We thought he was just a silly buffalo with brute strength, who knew that he was a scud missile."
"..."
The rookies were extremely shocked. Wang Lin and Xiang Wu's gaze also turned solemn, because they had to admit that with their speeds, there was a high chance that they could not keep up with Ye Jiaquan!
Even Riko was slightly startled, "Indeed, birds of a feather flock together. How can people who hang out with Shi Xiaobai be normal? This 'Raging Bull Steps' has the style of 'Wind Walk'."
Yama Minamiya nodded and said, "It looks like the quality of rookies in this [Annihilation] batch is not bad. This child's 'Raging Bull Steps' is about to break through to the Exemplary Mastery realm. He is a rare talent."
While everyone was marveling at Ye Jiaquan's sudden burst of speed, someone was feeling speechless.
Shi Xiaobai cracked the corner of his lips. He had only wanted Ye Jiaquan to lead the way so that he could retrieve the letter in the rookie dormitories. He never expected Ye Jiaquan to be the one rushing out, as though he would sacrifice his life to bring the letter back.
Of course, this was all his fault for not making things clear, but…
Why is this Steel Ox running so slowly?
"No, this won't do. It will be too late if this goes on."
With Shi Xiaobai's eyes focused, he raised his feet and chased at full speed with Crab Steps. He found Ye Jiaquan's speed too slow, so a lot of time would definitely be wasted if he waited for Ye Jiaquan to retrieve the letter and return.
Everyone saw Shi Xiaobai take a step forward with his right foot and then another step with his left. He clearly did not seem to take wide strides nor was the frequency very high, but his figure seemed to instantly traverse distances of more than ten meters with each stride. In just a few seconds, he had caught up to Ye Jiaquan. With a pinch of Ye Jiaquan's arm, he proceeded forward with Ye Jiaquan. The two people rapidly disappeared below the horizon.
This scene was just like a motorcycle cruising. A person who was riding a bicycle was lamenting how fast the motorcycle was, when suddenly a Ferrari charged forward, blocking the motorcycle. At a speed several times faster than the motorcycle, the Ferrari refreshed the person’s world view.
At this moment, everyone was in a daze. They couldn't even shout out "holy shit".
Riko was close to tears. Shi Xiaobai's "Crab Steps" had reached the Dominating Refinement realm, a realm higher than her Meteor Steps!
Yama Minamiya also confirmed his guess that Shi Xiaobai was "IChooseDogLeading"!
And at this moment, the rookies that wanted to beat Shi Xiaobai up immediately broke out into cold sweat. This little bitch was still the same old person that loved to act the pig in order to eat tigers. They had nearly fell for his machination!

Chapter124 The adorable you
Under Ye Jiaquan's guidance, the duo proceeded extremely quickly with Shi Xiaobai's maniacal "Crab Steps", surprising many passers-by.
Thankfully, the rookie dormitories were built not far from the training grounds. The two of them spent only three minutes to arrive at the rookie dormitories.
Ye Jiaquan did not dare delay any further and immediately located the letter Chen Lingcun had left for Shi Xiaobai.
When Shi Xiaobai received it, he tore it open while feeling a little nervous.
As he slowly looked at the letter, a handwriting as delicate as a girl's came into view, but when he saw the first line, Shi Xiaobai was left stunned.
