Chapter 276: Chapter 155: Emperor of Beasts (Seeking Recommendations)_2
“But you would hesitate, wouldn’t you?”
Faced with sharp objects, the subconscious mind instinctively avoids them; this is fear.
“Xiao Bai.”
“Huh!”
However, the instant Uncle finished calling out, Bai Yino punched towards the steel needle, and then blood splattered.
“No, wait! I didn’t tell you to actually hit it!!!”
“Pfft!”
Her previously intact left hand’s bones shattered.
The steel needle penetrated Bai Yino’s fist, piercing through the gap in her middle finger and into her wrist bone.
Such a sight, let alone doing it, was enough to make someone’s scalp tingle just by watching.
Luckily, Bailuo and the senior sister weren’t mortals; their inherent resistance quickly overcame that sensation.
“Ow!”
“You, you, you, you girl, I was just making an example, I didn’t tell you to really hit it!”
Uncle smacked his forehead hard and hurriedly asked the senior sister to treat Bai Yino.
Forget self-recovery; seeing his granddaughter hurt like this almost broke grandpa’s heart.
Soon enough, the senior sister healed Bai Yino, and only then did Uncle and Bailuo breathe a sigh of relief.
As for Inya…
“Xiao Bai, Xiao Bai, you’re so awesome, you dare to do this?”
“Mhm.”
Bai Yino: “Do you want to try?”
“Yeah!”
Iron Simpleton imitated Bai Yino, but she found that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t muster the strength.
“Hiss~~”
Even as her fist approached the steel needle, it merely touched it lightly before she immediately pulled back.
“No, no, no.”
Inya: “I better not; Xiao Bai, you truly are my sister Inya’s pride, freaking awesome!”
“Do you understand now?”
Uncle said to Bailuo, “If a person is punished, endures pain, that’s nothing.”
“But how can a normal person bring their fist towards a nail.”
“To be able to strike with all their might,” Uncle said, “how terrifying, such a resilient mind, this child, she must have no heart of fear.”
“Xiao Bai’s ability probably requires enduring a great deal of pain, then adapting, and thus continuously getting stronger.”
Uncle said, “We have been giving her a mild education all this time, precisely avoiding this painful path.”
“But isn’t this too much?”
Bailuo: “How can I bring myself to harm Xiao Bai?”
Bai Yino didn’t have a masochistic tendency; she was incredibly calm throughout the entire process, never deriving pleasure from the pain but instead using her astonishing willpower to forcibly endure.
“Physical training, spiritual detachment.”
Uncle: “Xiao Bai’s Miracle Power, indeed, is quite unusual.”
“So how exactly should we train Xiao Bai?”
“I can’t think of many options,” Uncle said, “If Xiao Bai’s ability truly is adaptability, then we can use fire, blunt and sharp weapons, along with physical endurance planning and such, and for the mind, locking her in a dark room might work.”
Bailuo: “Uncle, are you the devil?”
“Cough.”
Uncle: “Forget I said that.”
Bai Yino is neither an enemy nor a criminal.
To torture her in such a way, Bailuo and the old uncle might end up slapping themselves out of self-reproach: Are you still human? She’s still just a child!
“Then the best method is to take her to the battlefield.”
On the battlefield, to engage with the enemy.
As family, the two brothers are unable to lay a hand on her, so they must use reality to temper Bai Yino.
“But do we have a war coming up anytime soon?”
“No.”
“Then…”
“Fire attacks, blunt weapons, sharp instruments, a dark room?”
“Who dares to do such things to my little steamed bun, I’ll tear them apart!!”
Bailuo and the old uncle unanimously agreed on this point: Bai Yino’s awakening was too troublesome, and their own people simply couldn’t do it.
Inya: You didn’t even ask me, I think I can.
Bailuo: Do you still remember the Five Fingers Mountain by the Damming Lake Bank? Don’t want your butt anymore, do you?
Inya: Danger!
As a child, Inya was naughty, and Bailuo would occasionally use this to discipline her.
So even now, just by Bailuo raising his palm, Inya would immediately back down and dare not misbehave any longer.
“Let Xiao Bai start with physical training first, the extreme kind.”
“Then we can try warm baths, hot baths, boiling baths.”
This was a gradual approach. When it was almost time, they could then try fire attacks.
If Bai Yino could really adapt, it would indicate that her ability was indeed developing in that direction.
Infinite adaptability, unending evolution.
“Following this line of thought,” Bailuo asked, “Could Xiao Bai ultimately become invincible?”
“Hmm.”
The old uncle said: “That’s a possibility, but I think, it won’t be that easy.”
“Indeed.”
And so, this matter was put on hold for the time being.
The training of Bai Yino was originally assigned to a senior sister, but considering her closer bond with Bailuo, he decided to take on the task himself.
The process involved a large wooden tub filled with bathing water.
Starting at 50 degrees, if skin damage appeared, Bailuo would pull Bai Yino out. When she was ready, he would put her back in again.
Bailuo: Giving a young lady a bath, in Yatun, nobody is more professional than me!
“The ritual, begins now!!”
On the square of Avalon Castle, that familiar scene unfolded once again: a host of the People of Yatun, including the newly joined trio from Hailbo, knelt on the ground.
“3 minutes have passed, you may rise.”
After Bailuo spoke, it was clear that the Tree Elves had not stood up.
Seeing this, Hailbo quickly pulled Silly Tiger, who was about to stand up: “Kneel down quickly, it’s not over yet.”
The People of Yatun had already stood up, but the Tree Elves remained kneeling.
Clearly, there was something more to this.
“Your Majesty, you said last time that if there’s a next time, we could make up for the previous ones.”
“Er…”
Bailuo was helpless, he looked up at the sky: “It’s almost noon, everyone must be hungry by now, how about we wait for the next time?”
“…”
However, the Tree Elves clearly would not agree: ‘Even if acquiring Miracle Power for you is as simple as eating and drinking, we must exercise our rights! It’s only natural for the Miracle Citizens to kneel before their master!’
