Ever since the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower was constructed, only the Hero King had conquered a Level Lord. Although conquering a Level Lord did not have much to do with the final result of the trial, the difficulty of the matter was destined to be a great honor.
Of course, this was just a tiny part of the Hero King's life. Not many people cared about it, and many people did not even know about it.
However, after today, this matter was destined to be repeatedly mentioned by many people.
Shi Xiaobai had conquered five Level Lords in a single trial! The honor he obtained in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower was five times that of the Hero King, or even more!
The words five times that of the Hero King was an exaggeration. It was a play on words, but the people did not care about that. They only cared if the gimmick of this matter could become a topic of conversation after a meal.
China Daily's editorial department quickly received the news from the newspaper's reporters. To China Daily, which received all sorts of shocking news every day, a rookie's deeds were typically not qualified to be published in the newspaper.
But just yesterday, the editor-in-chief, Tai Shan, had stood his ground and given Shi Xiaobai, who had conquered the third level's Level Lord, a tiny page. This slightly plump editor-in-chief had always advocated for the country's youth, believing that the country's next generation was the country's hope.
As such, when the news reached China Daily's editorial department, the editor-in-chief, Tai Shan, could not stop smiling. He praised the youth named Shi Xiaobai for living up to his expectations and giving him a great surprise. He even jokingly called this generation of China's youths.
The editor, Li Hong, who was good at sucking up, did not miss the opportunity to do so. He praised, "Editor-in-chief, Tai Shan, you have excellent taste. Yesterday, you said that Shi Xiaobai is a pillar of the country, and stood his ground to give him a page. Who knew that he would do something that is' unprecedented and unrepeatable 'today! Editor-in-chief, Tai Shan's ability to read people is something everyone is impressed with! "
This flattery made Tai Shan chuckle. He could not help but say with a laugh, "The Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower only has nine Level Lords. Shi Xiaobai has conquered five alone. This is indeed unrepeatable. Tomorrow's headline will be given to this child. I believe no one has any objections, right? "
The headlines of China Daily were always the most watched news in China every day. Basically, it was about some major event or some extremely famous hero. Once it appeared on the headlines of China Daily, it would quickly be known by the entire country.
Typically, no matter how outstanding a rookie was, they would not receive such treatment. Even Speechless would not be qualified to appear on the headlines. However, what Shi Xiaobai had done was truly fascinating. Furthermore, he had encountered an old chief editor who supported the younger generation.
Even if some editors had other ideas, they didn't know how to object.
However, the deputy editor, Lin Liang, had always been at odds with the old editor-in-chief. As expected, Lin Liang raised an objection at this moment. He said, "I believe this matter needs to be carefully considered. Shi Xiaobai is after all a rookie. We have seen too many amazing rookies being overly sought after, eventually vanishing into obscurity. Something like the headlines might be a form of flattery to Shi Xiaobai. Furthermore … yesterday, Wang Feng released a new battle song, 'Survive'. It is said that it has broken through the resonance limit of ten thousand people, reaching a new height in battle song technology. This matter seems to be even more qualified to appear on the headlines? "
There were also singers in this world. However, the songs sung by these singers were not only for listening and appreciation. Some songs could be used to treat injuries, some songs could restore strength, and some songs could even increase one's combat strength.
In this world, there was an occupation known as a 'singer'. As such, the ability to sing and compose lyrics and songs were also a manifestation of one's abilities.
As for Wang Feng, he was one of the best among singers. He was considered an A-list singer, and many of his songs were extremely popular.
And Wang Feng had recently released a new song, 'Survive'. Not only was it an extremely difficult rock battle song, its resonance level had broken through the limits of ten thousand people. It could be considered a major event in the world of singers.
As such, after Lin Liang made such a suggestion, many editors wavered.
"Why don't we give Shi Xiaobai the second page?"
"A rookie appearing on the headlines has never happened in the history of China Daily. I think it's best not to make an exception. It's time for Wang Feng to appear on the headlines."
"I also think rookies should not be overly flattered. That Speechless reached the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm at the age of six. Back then, he was given the second page, but he's still at the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm at the age of fourteen. Perhaps, he has been flattered to death."
"…"
Most of the editors began to object. In their minds, it was absurd for a rookie to appear on the headlines. To be able to appear on the second page or a smaller page was already a great honor. This was the standard that China Daily had to maintain.
Editor Taishan's face immediately turned ashen as he said angrily, "All of you object? Alright, which one of you wants to say, in the previous World Youth Tournament and World Youth Tournament, what place did China stop at? "
The editors immediately fell silent. China, which claimed to be one of the five major countries in the world, had never won the championship in the quadrennial World Youth Tournament and World Youth Tournament. They had once obtained second place, but now, the situation was deteriorating. The contestants with the best results in the previous tournament had stopped at the top sixteen. They could not even enter the top eight.
Lin Liang said in a deep voice, "China's results in the World Youth Tournament are indeed unsatisfactory, but what has that got to do with us? If a headline can allow China's younger generation to win the championship, so what if China Daily gives its headlines to youths every day? But the crux of the issue is that it won't do. We won't be of any use. "
Taishan said with a sneer, "A headline might not be able to change the bleak situation, but it can give the disappointed citizens a sense of hope. What we lack is not talent, but the environment! China's trolls are world-famous. Regardless of your overall performance, just a tiny mistake will cause you to be flamed into a pig's head. How can our youths perform to their best under the pressure of public opinion? Being timid obviously won't produce any results! As for us, China Daily, as one of the leaders in our country's public opinion, we should be the first to make changes! I believe that not only should we support Shi Xiaobai, we should do our best to support him. We should praise him to the skies, letting the people of China know that our younger generation still has talent! Youths need a goal, a target to chase after. We need to mold Shi Xiaobai into a role model for the younger generation! "
Taishan's words left all the editors dumbfounded. They never expected the old editor-in-chief to think so far ahead. Furthermore, his words were reasonable and well-founded. It made their blood boil.
For such hot-blooded words to come from an old man who had one foot in a coffin, it was indeed quite convincing.
The editors instantly wavered.
Lin Liang's expression changed drastically. He had just received a huge red packet from Wang Feng's manager yesterday, swearing that he would definitely be in the headlines. Now, he had encountered Shi Xiaobai's stubborn character and Taishan's stubborn temper. He was probably in trouble!
Lin Liang said in a deep voice, "The second page is already impressive enough. The headlines are still a little too much! Furthermore, Wang Feng has already brushed shoulders with the headlines seven times. If we don't give it to him this time, people might think that we, China Daily, are targeting him. "
Wang Feng's luck was also extremely bad. This person had done something that could make the headlines seven times, but every time, he would encounter something even more impressive than him. As such, the headlines were snatched away all seven times.
Some people even joked that Wang Feng was actually a spy sent by aliens. His appearance in the headlines was a signal for the aliens to launch an attack. The seven heroes that prevented Wang Feng from appearing in the headlines had saved the world seven times.
Wang Feng's management team had specially found a day without any major incidents to publish 'survive', but they never expected Shi Xiaobai to suddenly appear. The headlines were in danger once again!
With Lin Liang saying this, the editors who were swayed by the wind immediately felt that what Lin Liang said made sense. Wang Feng was an important figure in the music world, so it was not appropriate to offend him.
Taishan said in a deep voice, "I'll explain to Wang Feng! This matter is settled. Shi Xiaobai's headlines can no longer be touched. Also, send reporters to pay close attention to the selection. At the same time, investigate Shi Xiaobai. We want to exalt Shi Xiaobai to the heavens! If anything happens, I'll be responsible for it. I'm an old man about to retire, so let me do something for the country in my final days. "
After Taishan said this, he let out a long sigh and ignored Lin Liang's objections. He turned around and left the meeting room.
Everyone looked at each other. Most of them did not cause any more trouble since it did not concern them. Lin Liang cursed angrily a few times for 'stubborn old fool' before leaving angrily. He had to return the red packet as soon as possible!

…
Sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower
The outside world was in an upheaval. The rookies who were undergoing trials were dumbfounded from fright. The Level Lord of the sixth level had yet to descend, but it had been killed by Shi Xiaobai?
Why did the lords of the first, second, and fifth floors suffer as well?
No one could figure out how Shi Xiaobai had done it. They could only link everything to the mysterious Ka Xiaozi.
And now, they had encountered a problem that was a pain in the ass.
They could not find the dragon!
The ugly monster that was instantly killed by Kali did not appear to be the dragon. The system did not inform everyone that someone had become the fifth Braveheart, nor did it announce the location of the sixth dragon. This meant that the dragon still existed.
Then, where was the dragon?
Everyone could only search the world for the dragon.
Some rookies had already left the forest. They were searching for the dragon in Monster Fairyland.
A few rookies had unknowingly walked to the coast and were immediately dumbfounded.
Not long ago, they had passed by this area and were sighing over the vastness and beauty of the sea.
But now, when they arrived here, the sea was gone!
All that was left was a bottomless crater. It looked as though … the entire sea had dried up!
"Quick, look over there. What's that?"
A rookie exclaimed.
They saw at the end of the distant horizon, on the parched land, a black blob of light was floating in mid-air!
…
(PS: To be clear, I'm not trying to diss Wang Feng. I rather like his songs. I just like to use memes. Everyone, don't say that I'm dissing him!) (To be continued.)
