Chapter 31: You are actually a Demon, right?

Shi Xiaobai was rendered speechless. Only recently had he played an uninteresting card drawing game with Hisith. Shi Xiaobai was not interested in Hisith's game at all, and wanted to keep a distance from the perverse Hisith.
But the depraved instructor did not plan on letting him off. This was not the first time he had targeted him, and now, he had been called to the podium the moment class started.
Feeling the concerned and sympathetic gazes from Ye Jiaquan and Lingcun, Shi Xiaobai frowned.
"Whatever. This King was previously once a God of Games. How can I be scared off by a depraved gamer that is none other than a sham!?"
Thinking of his tiny victory back in Hisith's office, Shi Xiaobai was immediately filled with confidence. Under everyone's watchful eyes, he got up and walked fearlessly to the podium in the middle.
"Dahei looks very confident. Me..feels that Dahei should be able to survive it." Ye Jiaquan looked at Lingcun and said feebly.
Lingcun sighed and did not respond. His pale blue eyes flashed with seriousness.
When Shi Xiaobai came to Hisith's side, he immediately felt like he had entered an ice cavern, as a cold crept up through his entire body. His body slowly began to stiffen.
Hisith gave Shi Xiaobai a sinister-looking smile and whispered, "Before we play the game, let me ask you. Dahei, do you know what 'Psionic Shield' is?
Shi Xiaobai was momentarily stunned as he thought for a moment, before he shook his head and said, "No."
When the seated rookies heard this, they gave an incredulous look. A number of people even had a dismissive sneer suffusing at the corner of their lips.
He was an idiot who didn't even know what Psionic Shield was? Did he rely on cronyism to get into [Gaia]? The rookies who suspected Tu Dahei to be Shi Xiaobai immediately had their suspicions lessened greatly.
Hisith had received information of Shi Xiaobai from the organization's upper echelons. The information revealed that Shi Xiaobai had yet to begin Psionic Ability cultivation, so it was naturally possible for him to be unaware of 'Psionic Shield', hence Hisith had questioned him. Shi Xiaobai's answer was within his expectations, but Hisith felt his head ache. This was because to proceed with the game, he needed Shi Xiaobai to be able to understand and grasp "Psionic Shield".
"It looks like I need to tug at a sapling to help it grow."
With this thought in mind, Hisith turned towards the seated rookies and said, "Wang Lin, explain to him what 'Psionic Shield' is."
With him saying this, a 17–18-year-old youth with short hair stood up from the seats on the right. Under his tight-fit shirt were firm muscles, it was obvious he was strong. Everyone from Team Blue cast their eyes at the youth, filled with awe and trust.
Wang Lin nodded at Hisith before looking at Shi Xiaobai and said calmly, "Psionic Shield is a Psionic Ability produced from one of the four major combat systems, namely defense."
Wang Lin paused for a while as he pondered over his words before continuing, "The system of defense is divided into physical and psionic defense. Physical defense refers to one's skin, flesh, bones and mental defenses. It is in the domain of one's physical cultivation. As for psionic defense, it is a study of how to use Psionic Power as a form of defense. The name Psionic Shield implies using Psionic Power to form a shield so as to block attacks within a defensive range."
