I clicked "yes" but was denied entry to Infinite.

Half an hour later——

Xiao Hei lay sprawled on the ground, as if all the liquid had been drained from his body. His face seemed to say, "I don't want to live anymore, but I'm too afraid to die," followed by a comma.

"Alright, Xiao Hei, let me tell you, don't think that just because I'm venting my anger on you, I can let things go. I'm heading out right now to settle the score with that kid."

"Meow!"

Little Black jumped up and rushed over to grab Luo Luo's legs, preventing her from moving.

"Little Black, let go of your claws!"

"Don't let it go."

His face turned bruised and his nose swollen.

"So, can you finally tell me the real reason?" Lolo sat on the edge of the desk, legs crossed and arms folded over her chest.

Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, as if organizing his thoughts, before saying, "The gods living here, regardless of their purpose in wanting to become stronger, the process of becoming stronger is, frankly speaking, the process of evolution."

Lolo nodded in agreement.

The equation "becoming stronger equals evolution" is not wrong.

Ultimately, every life form possesses an instinct for evolution—a yearning for higher levels of existence and a desire to adapt to its environment for survival.

Indeed, even a little thought reveals that even the most humble and insignificant creatures are constantly evolving, even if this evolution is slight and requires countless generations of accumulation to bring about a qualitative change.

However, no matter how small a grain of sand is, its existence cannot be denied.

This kind of evolution is involuntary, subconscious, and what was mentioned above as instinct.

Instinct is a terrifying thing.

For example, if a basketball flies towards you at high speed and hits you, before you even have time to think, your subconscious has already made your body automatically dodge after your brain has reacted; while you are sleeping, your nose continues to breathe, and all the components of your body, such as internal organs and cells, are autonomously carrying out the activities necessary to maintain life, and so on.

All of this can be attributed to instinct.

Humans are rational animals, and in addition to instinct, they also have independent thinking, which they often overlook. If lower organisms did not have their own thoughts, then their entire life would be driven by instinct.

These include predation, reproduction, sleeping, and so on.

This shows how important instinct is to any being, and how terrifying it is to think about.

Instinct enables us to accomplish many things that we cannot do autonomously by thinking with our own brains!

If we lose it, imagine how enormous the burden on the brain would be if we had to control every tiny part of our body to fulfill its mission!

The human body contains billions of cells, and the activities that take place within them are incredibly intricate.

It is utterly impossible to manipulate it through self-awareness. Every human body is like a vast empire. To expect a person to be proficient in everything within an empire, engaging in every industry in the world, and doing most of them simultaneously, is... harder than climbing to heaven.

"So, what does this instinct have to do with that brat?"

When it came to the crucial point, Xiao Hei hesitated visibly, but seeing Luo Luo's determined look, he gritted his teeth and continued, "Let me give you a hypothetical scenario: what if... there exists such a thing in this world—"

"His instincts were amplified without limit?"

"Can you imagine what instinct, amplified to an infinite degree, would look like?"

Lolo's mouth involuntarily opened into an "O" shape, moved slightly, but she couldn't utter a word.

She couldn't answer that question.

She didn't want to answer.

"How can such a terrifying thing exist in this world?"

"Impossible. If it were true, then I think that creature would recklessly plunder and devour for the sake of something called evolution."

"Such an irrational demon, once it appears, will definitely be collectively condemned."

"That's why I'm telling you, Lolo, you're underestimating just how terrifying an infinitely magnified instinct really is."

Xiao Hei sighed and said, "Once your instincts become limitless, it doesn't just mean an insatiable desire for evolution. There's also the most important, and most terrifying, aspect—"

"He will have an unparalleled intuition about the pinnacle of evolution."

"That's right. He will evolve towards the most correct and comprehensive peak at an incredible speed, in an extremely short time, following the direction of his instincts."

"There is no first come, first served, and no need for any shortcuts to overtake. He is here, therefore he is the strongest."

"He is Li Wei."

After deciding to reveal a little about Li Wei's background, Xiao Hei said the following.

Yes, slightly.

This is only the tip of the iceberg of Li Wei's power, as it knows it.

PS:

PPP: My updates have been much more consistent lately, haven't they? But it's the weekend tomorrow, so no one's asking me to write more... I wonder if I can keep up the good work...

Chapter 255 Don't Speak, Read My Expression

After listening to Xiao Hei's words, Luo Luo clearly fell into deep thought, not about whether Xiao Hei's words were true or false, but about many other things.

At first, she didn't realize it, but after Xiao Hei said something and she started to think about it, she was horrified to discover how terrifying infinite instincts were.

Unparalleled super intuition, indescribable reactions, absolute control over one's own potential talents, and the most exquisite use of every bit of energy...

There are other, more unknown and powerful things that she cannot see at her level.

Let alone instinct, anything that is taken to an infinite degree will undergo a qualitative change to an unimaginable extent.

Limitless instincts—Lolo couldn't quite put his finger on what kind of talent this was.

Just like Xiao Hei said when introducing Li Wei about a year ago, he was the strongest human, and this human's talents included painting, boxing, shooting, math olympiad, running, riddles, assassination, martial arts, magic...

The aforementioned gifted individuals differ only in the degree to which they have developed different parts of their brains. In other words, if your brain is comprehensively developed, it means—

Almighty.

Instinct... guides you to evolve, and this exploration of theoretically achievable potential is comprehensive and extreme.

However, instinct is not limited to this; the most terrifying thing is the many unknown qualitative changes.

Thinking of this, Lolo sighed deeply, "This kind of talent is indeed unprecedented and too astonishing."

Lolo said seriously the next moment, "Such a talent is definitely a future asset for our Samsara Academy. Do you think we should protect Xiao Hei using special methods? Like those of our 'seed students'..."

“Lolo,” the little black figure stood up and spread his hands, “you probably didn’t pay much attention to what I just said.”

"I've already said, there's no such thing as first come, first served, or overtaking on a curve..."

"The moment his instincts awakened, he had already reached the pinnacle."

"Actually, how should I put it? I used to call him a bug in this world, but I think that was wrong."

"Even if we use the term 'world's largest UG' to describe him, it would probably be a derogatory term for him."

"After all..." Xiao Hei smiled helplessly, "The world is just that to him. Have you ever seen a sandcastle built by a child?"

With that, Little Black pushed forward with its paws, "Look, just like that, the world can be rolled away."

"Besides, there are bound to be a lot of bugs in this world that he has created."

Xiao Hei shrugged: "To be honest, I once suspected that those geniuses who were called the world's bugs and were fought over by various forces might have been the work of that bastard."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Luo couldn't help but jump up. The aforementioned destruction of the world could also be accomplished by powerful enough gods and demons. However, gods and demons all have concerns and restrain each other, and no one would be so idle as to destroy the world. Of course, the time it would take to destroy the world is hard to say. The Foolish Old Man Who Moved Mountains did move the mountains, but it took several years. Well, let's just laugh it off.

But that kind of world is like a mosquito net; it can make holes in it whenever it wants, and it can decide what kind of holes and how many holes to make. That's just too much.

This can no longer be simply described as invincible or the strongest.

Xiao Hei took out a handful of spicy strips and slowly ate them. After revealing most of its innermost thoughts, it felt much more relaxed.

"Your reaction is normal, but if I tell you something else, you won't be so surprised."

"Actually, the chosen ones are that kid's creation."

"Holy crap!?" Lolo was shocked.

"Xiao Hei, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

Those favored by the gods are talents that are taboo in the major academies and even in the entire cycle of reincarnation. Once any force is found to be harboring those favored by the gods, it will be attacked and collectively condemned.

All of this is because these so-called chosen ones are too unconventional and break all the rules of the game. Just like many things that are conventional, they have broken all the rules of the game.

If we use a game as an analogy for all the people in the cycle of reincarnation, those favored by the gods are cheaters and will be swept out of the game.

"Yeah, I'm sure I'm not kidding you."

Xiao Hei hesitated for a moment, then added, "For this, I'm willing to bet my treasured donut-flavored spicy strips."

You can even gamble on such a treasure?

Lolo's pupils contracted. It seemed that this Little Black was serious and not faking it.

After a pause, Lolo suddenly sneered: "So, in other words, we no longer have to cower and be subservient to those big shots?"

“Uh…” Xiao Hei paused for a moment, then nodded and said, “You could say that.”

"Similarly, we don't need to be annoyed by those ambitious fledglings in the academy who seem to thrive on chaos."

"Um……"

"Making them make their beds won't affect the future of our college?"

"That's the theory..."

"And all we have to do is cling to that powerful figure?"

“That’s right…” Xiao Hei sensed that Luo Luo seemed a little off, and after hesitating for a moment, he replied.

"Alright, Xiao Hei, you might as well step down."

"..."

Meow meow meow?

"You can just stay home and be a house cat. Let the big boss take your seat."

Meow meow meow?

"Besides, what kind of person is a mere house cat to become a leader?"

Meow meow meow?

"It's already a miracle if a pet cat isn't roasted and eaten."

Meow!?

"Let me tell you, Xiao Hei, someone who can't even be cute should have left the group a long time ago."

Xiao Hei felt a chill in his heart...

This... looks like a cat is about to cross a river...

The legend goes that this idiom originated from the following story: Once upon a time, a kind black cat helped a person cross a river. It used its front and back paws to support the two banks and its thick back to act as a bridge. However, after the person crossed the river, they kicked the cat into the river instead.

I never imagined that I, Xiao Hei, would end up following in the footsteps of that senior.

……

and many more!

Little Black suddenly woke up, realizing that the kind-hearted silly cat was also him, no matter what senior he was.

As for those who step on me...

Xiao Hei hesitated before letting out a final shout before dying.

"Li Weiye..."

As for crossing the river, it was just that Li Wei saw a small puddle ahead and didn't want to take a wrong step. Before he could even give any instructions, Xiao Hei jumped across on its own. As for the "puddle cat kicking into the river," it was because when Li Wei stepped in, it couldn't withstand the pressure and was stepped into the puddle...

Actually, Li Wei didn't expect Xiao Hei to do that. He just thought that at worst he could take a bigger step and step over the puddle.

But considering what Xiao Hei had done, he felt it would be against all reason not to kick him while he was down.

Perhaps it's because they're well-trained.
