by Pear Lands In The Autumn Spring


  Kali looked at Hisith with cold eyes.

  Hisith's face went white. Hundreds of poker cards appeared out of nowhere as they aimed at Kali.

  But in just an instant, the hundreds of poker cards turned to ashes with a "poof" sound.

  Hisith's pupils violently contracted as a black beam of light suddenly fell from the sky, enveloping him completely.

  "No...No..."

  Hisith's face immediately began aging under the black light. His red hair turned white as his body began to bend.

  "How...did...you..."

  By the time Hisith said those three words, he had been reduced to a pile of white bones.

  At this moment, a gigantic face formed from a black dot rose up from Hisith's bones.

  "Who is it that dares touch a person of my 'Abyss'?"

  The gigantic black face had a pair of white eyeballs. With a roll of its eyeballs, it immediately saw Kali.

  "It's you! No...everything was a misunderstanding. You..."

  White light suddenly surged from every corner, immediately devouring the gigantic black face, causing its voice to come to an abrupt end.

  The instructor's office quietened down.

  Kali gave a gentle sigh. "Darkness" appeared beside her as she turned to step into the darkness.

  Moments later, she arrived in another world. This world was known as the "Abyss".

  "I'll spare 10%."

  With this thought in mind, countless wails and roars immediately reverberated through the "Abyss".

  ...

  ...

  In the white world.

  Chen Lingcun had finished narrating his story.

  "I have been looking for him all this while. At the beginning, I wished he would kill me and free me from my self-blaming. But I now understand that I'm being too selfish. How can my elder brother that loves me so much be able to do that?"

  "He must have been in great pain, so he had to leave." Chen Lingcun sighed softly.

  Shi Xiaobai was quietly listening, but although he could not say a word, his emotions were constantly churning. His consciousness was constantly struggling. He wanted to say something, even if it was just a word.

  Chen Lingcun continued speaking, "I have always been looking for him, because I wanted...to ask for his forgiveness. I want to tell him...that it's truly great...that he is still alive."

  "So Shi Xiaobai, can you complete...my final wish? Live on and find him. Find my elder brother and help me say 'sorry' and 'thank you' to him."

  Chen Lingcun's voice entered Shi Xiaobai's ears as he struggled with greater might. However, the more he struggled, the force that imprisoned his consciousness bound him tighter. It was as though thorns were wound tightly around his body. As he struggled, they would sink deeper into his flesh.

  Chen Lingcun sighed in his heart as he looked at the expressionless "Shi Xiaobai". He knew Shi Xiaobai definitely had many words to say, but in the deep depths of his consciousness, Shi Xiaobai could only be a quiet listener.

  At this moment in the white world, a small black hand like a twisted vine suddenly reached out. It appeared behind Shi Xiaobai and grabbed his shoulder.

  Chen Lingcun's pupils constricted because the appearance of the black vine hand meant that there was not much time left. At the same time, another vine hand stretched out from the whiteness, grabbing Shi Xiaobai's face.

  "There's not much time!" Chen Lingcun quickly said, "Shi Xiaobai, you must pretend to forget me and deceive Hisith before you can succeed in living on."

  "Help me find my elder brother. When you see him, you would definitely be able to identify him using your Perception of God."

  "When that happens, please help me tell him that in this life, becoming his younger brother was the luckiest thing in my life!"

  Black vine hands began to appear out of the whiteness, grabbing Shi Xiaobai by the back and his limbs. Next, they slowly dragged Shi Xiaobai's body towards the pale whiteness.

  Shi Xiaobai's consciousness began to struggle violently. He knew that once the black vine hands dragged him into the whiteness, he would completely leave this world of consciousness. Then, the words he wanted to say the most would never be able to be transmitted to the present Chen Lingcun.

  No!

  Shi Xiaobai roared angrily in his heart. Since this was the deepest depths of his consciousness, he could conquer himself!

  But, the black vine hands began to pull Shi Xiaobai's body at an accelerated pace. In less than ten seconds, half of Shi Xiaobai's upper body had been pulled into the whiteness.

  "Right, I still owe you a promise that when we meet again, I will address you as 'King'."

  Chen Lingcun waved at Shi Xiaobai, who was being pulled into the white mist, and grinned. Loudly, he said, "Goodbye, my adorable...Sire!"

  "Bloop!"

  The sound of water dripping was heard as Shi Xiaobai was completely devoured by the whiteness.

  Chen Lingcun was the only person left in the white and barren world.

  The corner of his mouths slowly turned stiff as his eyes lost its light.

  In a while, he would die a lonely death in this white world.

  "Bloop!"

  Suddenly, the sound of water dripping reverberated throughout the white world. Chen Lingcun's pupils contracted as he quickly looked up. He saw a tightly clenched fist suddenly appear from the white misty world. The fist had appeared to shatter something, allowing it to charge in here.

  Following that, a face and half a body appeared out of the whiteness with an explosion.

  "Chen Lingcun!"

  A hoarse shout sounded from that figure.

  The half figure that had reached out from the whiteness was tightly bounded by dozens of black vine hands. They were frantically pulling him into the white mist, but the half-figure was constantly struggling forward. He appeared like a person running while having a rope tied to him.

  "Chen Lingcun!"

  Shi Xiaobai shouted the three syllables a second time, nearing tearing his throat apart.

  Chen Lingcun gaped his mouth.

  "Chen Lingcun!"

  Shi Xiaobai shouted the three syllables a third time, as though he would shatter the omnipresent whiteness.

  Chen Lingcun's eyes were red.

  The black vine hands began to frantically pull at Shi Xiaobai's body. It even lacerated Shi Xiaobai's face, nearly pulling the skin from his face away.

  Shi Xiaobai straightened his right hand towards Chen Lingcun and looked at him. Using all his strength, he shouted a sentence he had to communicate to him.

  "This King will definitely save you!"

  Shi Xiaobai's upper body had already been dragged into the white mist.

  "Just wait!"

  Shi Xiaobai's head was also being dragged into the white mist, leaving only his straightened right hand.

  "You must wait!"

  A black vine hand wound itself around Shi Xiaobai's right hand and lugged him in.

  The white world fell into silence once again.

  But Chen Lingcun's eyes were extremely bright, having never dimmed.

  Even though he was about to die.

  Even though it was impossible to be saved.

  Even though he was still left alone.

  Chen Lingcun still revealed a smile and said a sentence no one could hear.

  "Yes, I'll wait for you."

  ...

  ...

  "Make your choice, youth!"

  A fiery voice echoed in his ears as Shi Xiaobai opened his eyes. The scene of the field surrounded him. Hua Pengju and company were charging right at him. Time had once again looped back to the moment the Absolute Choice appeared.

  A few lines of black text slowly materialized.

  Next, the voice "Make your choice, youth" resounded.

  Shi Xiaobai was already roaring angrily in his heart.

  "This King chooses..."

  "Save Chen Lingcun!"

  Chapter138 This King needs you

  "My balls have shattered!"

  Hua Pengju's grief-stricken voice resounded through the field!

  All the rookies that were looking at Tu Dahei, who was being surrounded by the five people, revealed confounded expressions. When Hua Pengju and company attacked Tu Dahei, they saw Tu Dahei's body flash slightly before he suddenly appeared behind Hua Pengju. The five did not manage to retract their attacks and immediately ended up hitting each other.

  Hua Pengju was the unluckiest. His groin had been kicked hard, shattering his balls!

  However, at this moment, what confounded everyone the most was not Hua Pengju's tragic encounter, but the direction in which Tu Dahei headed after flashing behind Hua Pengju. He was running towards the boundary of the field at an astonishing speed. In a few seconds, he was out of the field, coming in front of Yama Minamiya and Riko.

  Everyone looked at where Tu Dahei was standing.

  Just as Yama Minamiya was being taken aback by Shi Xiaobai's sudden use of "Crab Steps", he was first started when he saw Shi Xiaobai run in front of him, before involuntarily looking at Shi Xiaobai's legs.

  Riko was also given a fright from Shi Xiaobai's "Crab Steps", but seeing him step out of the field in a few steps, she immediately had an ominous foreboding as she lowered her head to look at Shi Xiaobai's legs.

  "Xiao...Dahei, you crossed the line!"

  Riko was too deep for tears. Shi Xiaobai's legs had just stepped out the field's boundary. According to the free-for-all rules, leaving the field meant elimination. This meant that Shi Xiaobai had been eliminated right from the beginning of the free-for-all!

  "Riko!"

  A deep voice, that sounded like it had been suppressed, came out of Shi Xiaobai's mouth. It was a voice that sounded so solemn that it was impossible to think lightly of it.

  Riko was slightly surprised as she looked up at Shi Xiaobai. This was the first time Shi Xiaobai addressed her by her name. After taking a glance at Shi Xiaobai's expression, she was immediately stunned.

  "You..."

  Riko could not describe Shi Xiaobai's expression with words. It was as though it was suppressing some pain in it, or it might have been anger. He was impatiently anxious over something, but he also had an unwavering calm. It was as though he had to do something. He could not even wait a second, but he had to do all sorts of preparations.

  His pair of black eyes was like the vast starry sky filled with numerous stars. The tiny bits of light seemed to illuminate the dark night, as though one would always look towards the light while immersed in darkness.

  "This King needs you."

  Shi Xiaobai locked his eyes with Riko and seriously communicated his desire and need.

  "Ah?"

  Riko was firstly startled before she realized what he meant and said in a fluster, "Here?"

  Before Riko finished her sentence, Shi Xiaobai's right hand had already reached out towards her chest.

  The rookies who had stopped to watch this scene were left dumbfounded. This conversation with that motion...The rookies translated the scene automatically in their minds.

  Tu Dahei: "I want to touch boobs."

  Riko: "Touch here?"

  Tu Dahei stretched out his groping hands to touch her boobs.

  No, this plot was wrong!

  OMAIGOD, Goddess Riko quick reject him. Give him a slap in the face!

  The rookies roared angrily in their minds.

  But at this moment, Shi Xiaobai had reached out his groping hands stably in front of Riko's perky chest. It was just a centimeter away from truly touching her.

  Riko's heart was immediately filled with extreme mixed emotions. Although he did not touch her, Shi Xiaobai's well-practiced performance could not help but make her recall of the tragic encounter last night. However, with so many people watching, even if there was no contact, the postures they had was too ambiguous.

  "Hurry up!" Riko said coyly. If this was any other time, even if she did not send a slap at him, she would have immediately dodged. But from Shi Xiaobai's expression and eyes, she could not bear to reject him. She could clearly sense that Shi Xiaobai was in need of her power.

  Riko did not know that her two simple words sounded like a bolt from the blue to others.

  From their point of view, that one centimeter distance was invisible. All they saw was Tu Dahei using his despicable hands to touch the ample holy grounds. This was something that fucking deserved having his hands chopped off. Why did it become...hurry up!?

  A number of rookies were already quietly closing their eyes.

  They originally believed that Tu Dahei was just a silly loser like them, but they never expected that he had secretly hooked up with a true goddess that had even rejected Young Master Red Lotus.

  The one person who wanted to send Shi Xiaobai flying with a smack was naturally Yama Minamiya. This was the first time he encountered someone having the guts to molest his daughter in front of him. However, he was always a composed person and he knew Riko's character very well. If Riko was unwilling, she would never agree to it even if a blade was held to her neck.

  Thankfully, Shi Xiaobai did not truly touch her, allowing Yama Minamiya to slightly heave a sigh of relief. But immediately, he was puzzled.

  What were these two young people trying to do? Were they purely just making a "public display of affection"?

  The answer was immediately revealed.

  A purplish-blue circular door of light suddenly bloomed above Riko's chest, while Shi Xiaobai reached his hand into it.

  Riko moaned slightly as her face blushed.

  When Shi Xiaobai pulled his hand out of the purplish-blue circular light, purplish-blue wind twirled around his arms as purplish-blue crystals shot out from the purplish-blue door. They attached themselves to Shi Xiaobai's arm, forming a stone pillar formed from crystals.

  After Shi Xiaobai pulled the stone pillar out of the purplish-blue circular light, he lifted it high into the sky as a golden beam of light shot out into the sky, piercing through the clouds. A clear buzz of a sword reverberated throughout the field.

  Crystal flakes pared off, transforming into dots of light that dissipated into the ground.

  A dark blue sword appeared out of the stone pillar. The sword's body was like rippling water. It sparkled and was gorgeous in style. It swayed the hearts of many.

  "Superpower!?"

  Everyone was shocked. It was unknown who shouted, but everyone slowly managed to react to the scene before them. This magical and unscientific scene had only one scientific explanation—superpower!

  Tu Dahei could actually use a superpower!

  This meant that he not only was he a Psyker, but he was also at least at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm!

  At this moment, Shi Xiaobai suddenly lifted the dark blue sword backwards and stabbed it into his chest. He did it as quick as lightning, causing everyone to stare widely with horrified looks.

  When the dark blue sword stabbed into Shi Xiaobai's chest, it formed a dark blue column of light. Moments later, the entire sword sank into Shi Xiaobai's chest.

  Riko was first startled by Shi Xiaobai's actions before she came round to. She came to a realization that Shi Xiaobai could store the powers of others in his body.

  But at the moment Shi Xiaobai stabbed the sword into his chest, Riko immediately felt goosebumps all over her body. That feeling felt as though she was being intimately hugged by Shi Xiaobai.

  Riko immediately felt the strong urge to resist.

  "Bear with it!"

  Riko heard Shi Xiaobai's fervent voice.

  She was left in a daze, but she heard Shi Xiaobai say gently, "I need your power, can you bear with it a bit?"

  Riko looked up and looked into Shi Xiaobai's eyes for a few seconds. Her eyes gradually turned soft before she said with a serious face, "Hurry!"

  "Thank you!"

  Shi Xiaobai nodded his head heavily, as he turned t
o leave the field at a very fast speed.

  Chapter139 Hold it in even if you can't accept it

  After Shi Xiaobai left, Riko's face gradually turned red as her breathing also sped up. His superpower was way too evil. How could she withstand such intimacy between man and woman? She felt like she was about to die of embarrassment.

  As the rookies saw the goddess in their hearts blushing, they were reminded of Tu Dahei's despicable groping hands and his mysterious superpower. Immediately, they felt extremely infuriated.

  Why were things so unfair between people!?

  The rookies turned their heads to look at their opponents. Their eyes were red as they charged at each other, hoping to vent the discontentment in their hearts.

  The free-for-all began once again. This time, nearly no one held back as the scene turned explosive.

  By the side of the field, Yama Minamiya glanced at Riko, who had her blushing face lowered as though she was enduring something. Sighing lightly, he asked, "You and Shi Xiaobai, the both of you..."

  "You are not to ask!"

  Riko immediately cut him off in a coy manner. Whatever that happened last night between her and Shi Xiaobai had to be a secret that sank to the bottom of the ocean!

  Yama Minamiya's expression changed.

  Riko really had that kind of relationship with that punk?

  Sigh, my daughter has grown up after all!

  Although Shi Xiaobai was a few years younger than his daughter, and he was not as excellent as Red Lotus on the whole, he was still a genius with monster-like talents despite him being unable to distinguish the actual proficiency level of Shi Xiaobai's "Crab Steps".

  Furthermore, he was an S Class Psyker, reaching the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm in twenty days.

  Shi Xiaobai's future was limitless, barely worthy of his daughter.

  Since the young couple had mutual feelings, he decided not to become that black-faced person who separated a loving couple. He would leave everything to run its natural course.

  However...

  "Why didn't you tell me earlier that Shi Xiaobai is already at the fourth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm? If that were the case, would there even be a need for a division selection?"
