The blue barrier descended from the sky, blocking Pulp Farmer's thrusting spear and Shi Xiaobai's slash of psionic swords. It was extremely hard, isolating the two of them.
A thin elder walked over from afar. Following closely behind him were a few men and women.
"Elder Jiang!"
"Councilor Jiang …"
Immediately, a sharp-eyed person recognized the thin elder's identity.
The elder said coldly, "The selection is at hand. Why are you fighting first?"
Shi Xiaobai did not say a word as he looked at Pulp Farmer. He did not know why Pulp Farmer had shouted for him to fight.
Pulp Farmer's expression turned slightly cold. He knew that the battle could not continue. He retracted his spear and said to the elder, "Personal grudges."
The elder said in a deep voice, "Regardless of what personal grudges you have, resolve them yourselves in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower. Now, return to the teleportation nexus and stay there. The selection will begin in a while."
Pulp Farmer nodded and with a leap, he jumped from the slope into the nexus. After he landed, he walked straight towards the crowd.
Everyone's eyes were on him as they saw him slowly walking towards the Zeus rookies.
Heartless went forward and bowed, "Brother Pulp Farmer, long time no see."
Pulp Farmer nodded and suddenly took out a photo from his pocket. He said in a deep voice, "What's going on?"
Heartless looked down and saw that the photo was a photo of Sunless holding Shi Xiaobai's hand in the hotel's lobby yesterday.
Heartless shook his head and said with a wry smile, "They are … mutually in love."
Pulp Farmer's eyebrows pricked up as he turned his head to glance at Sunless. He noticed that Sunless was looking at Shi Xiaobai on the slope.
Pulp Farmer said with a wry smile, "I thought she would only like the way of the sword."
Heartless fell silent for a moment before saying, "What do you plan on doing?"
Pulp Farmer said, "It has never begun, so it doesn't matter if I give up or not. However, I have to see if Tu Dahei has the qualifications!"
After Pulp Farmer said that, he turned around and walked into the distance. A few boys and girls surrounded him. From the looks of it, they were rookies from the same organization as Pulp Farmer.
Many people did not understand the conversation between the duo. A few people who understood were slightly alarmed as they looked at Shi Xiaobai in shock. They found it unbelievable that Heartless had said 'mutually in love'.
At this moment, Shi Xiaobai had also walked down the slope. He found it somewhat regretful that the battle had only lasted one strike. He walked back to the area where Mu Yuesheng and company were.
Dozens of gazes landed on Shi Xiaobai as they began to whisper. Ever since the organization committee released the predicted list, Tu Dahei's name had been discussed by the rookies. Fang Zhouzi, who had nothing better to do, had even posted an analysis of Tu Dahei's actions.
The rookies who had read the analysis felt that what Fang Zhouzi said was reasonable. As such, many people began to doubt Tu Dahei.
But that short move just now made them start to question their own suspicions.
This was because that move was a competition of pure strength. Although it was unknown how much strength the two of them used, in what appeared to be a tie, Tu Dahei, who used a psionic sword, was clearly superior.
Pulp Farmer was ranked fourth. From the looks of it, Tu Dahei did not live up to his reputation.
At this moment, the ones who were the most shocked were two people, two ordinary people who were obviously passersby.
"He is actually Tu Dahei. Then who is Shi Xiaobai, who is the person that he praises? Why have I never heard of him? The official predicted rankings don't even have him? "
"Shi Xiaobai … is definitely a super expert that keeps a very low profile. A figure like Tu Dahei would not brag. Even if Shi Xiaobai isn't as exaggerated as he claims, he must be extremely powerful. He should be stronger than Tu Dahei!"
"It looks like this Shi Xiaobai is a hidden monster that even the officials do not know about!"
"What do we do … Do we keep this secret?"
"Do you think you can hold back from telling others with that big mouth of yours?"
"Hiss … I can't hold back!"
"Then that's it!"
The two of them nodded at each other with great tacit understanding. They turned around and walked towards the people they knew and whispered, "Hey, bro, I have a secret to tell you. Actually … we have a rookie here who is more powerful than Speechless … This was told to me by Tu Dahei. That person's name is Shi Xiaobai. It's said that he only takes three seconds to make Pulp Farmer …"
Immediately following that, a strange thing happened. It was probably because Tu Dahei had attracted everyone's attention. At this moment, the rumors regarding "Shi Xiaobai" that were spread in Tu Dahei's name had spread from one to ten, and from ten to a hundred in just a few minutes. It had nearly spread throughout the entire teleportation nexus.
Soon, there were many discussions regarding 'Shi Xiaobai'. However, most people had a doubtful attitude.
"Who is Shi Xiaobai?"
"Shi Xiaobai is stronger than Speechless? Making Pulp Farmer only takes three seconds? I can only chuckle. He's just a nobody that can't even enter the official predicted rankings. "
"But, this was said by Tu Dahei!"
"Tu Dahei said it? I think it's just someone making it up and using Tu Dahei's name. "
"I also think that if Shi Xiaobai is that powerful, it's impossible for the officials to miss him."
"I remember that Gaia has a very famous rookie named Shi Xiaobai …"
"You must have remembered wrongly. I believe Tu Dahei is very powerful, but I absolutely do not believe there's a person like Shi Xiaobai."
"Eh? Who is Shi Xiaobai? Why are all of you discussing him? "
“.....”
The rookies waiting in the nexus were also feeling restless. Amidst their nervousness, a topic of discussion exploded.
Mu Yuesheng and company slowly heard the discussions of the rookies around them. Very easily, they deduced the cause and effect of the matter.
Mu Yuesheng was rendered speechless as she whispered, "Shi Xiaobai, can you not be so shameless?"
Mozzie also lowered her voice and said, "Lord Shi Xiaobai, you are so bad."
Kevin said with a scoff, "Shi Xiaobai, This Genius is convinced by the way you hype yourself up. Unfortunately, they will not buy it. No one will believe your bragging."
Shi Xiaobai was currently in a good mood. Upon hearing the trio's words, he said in high spirits, "This King will soon make them have no choice but to believe me!"
.....
After about ten minutes, the rookies had already changed topics and continued chatting. Most of them looked nervous and excited. It was an extremely rare opportunity to enter the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower to undergo trials.
Suddenly, without any warning, a golden beam of light shot up into the sky from the outer golden threads of the nexus. A cylindrical barrier surrounded the entire nexus, trapping all the rookies within it.
"Everyone is here. Prepare to enter the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower!"
On a slope outside the golden barrier, the thin elder said, "I will emphasize the important matters of the selection one last time. Listen carefully!"
The rookies pricked up their ears.
The thin elder's figure was concealed by the golden barrier, so all they could see was a thin, short, and slightly hunched black figure. He looked rather sinister and terrifying, and what he said next was even more terrifying.
"Among you, there will be people who will be left in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower forever, without a corpse to be found!"
