Shi Xiaobai had the thought of eating the Transcendence Holy Tree. Other than being infuriated by the Transcendents' unfair treatment of humans, the main reason was that the Transcendence Holy Tree's leaves exuded a fragrance that left his mouth salivating.
Now, Shi Xiaobai was in the middle of the city and was very close to the holy tree. The fragrance could be clearly smelled as it lingered in his nostrils, constantly stirring Shi Xiaobai's' appetite '.
Eating this holy tree could not only vent his anger, but it could also satisfy his "appetite". Why not?
However, Shi Xiaobai did not immediately take action.
Back when he passed by the holy tree, Shi Xiaobai noticed that there were not many guards around the holy tree. Clearly, the Transcendents were not too worried that people would target the holy tree. However, there were constantly outsiders coming and going from the holy tree's vicinity.
The holy tree was the most famous scenic spot in Transcendence. Outsiders who came to Transcendence would naturally have the intention of visiting it.
Therefore, if Shi Xiaobai were to openly 'eat' the holy tree, it would be a crime under the watchful eyes of everyone. It would definitely stir the entire Transcendence.
Shi Xiaobai did not mind causing a scene. After all, he did not plan on obtaining the assessment program's recognition through the tournament.
However, the other trial-takers were currently in the same camp as him. If he were to do such a heaven-defying thing, it would probably cause them to lose the right to participate in the tournament. They might even be treated as enemies by the Transcendents.
Shi Xiaobai could ignore the others, but he did not want to scam Sunless.
Therefore, to eat the holy tree, he could only take action in secret. He had to find a time when there were fewer tourists and sneak into the holy tree's crown. Then, slowly and secretly, he would devour the holy tree cleanly.
Now, it was best to first meet up with Sunless and complete the promise he made to her on the fifth level.
Go ahead first. We will meet on the seventh level.
This was what Shi Xiaobai had said. He would absolutely not go back on his word.
…
…
"Knock, knock …"
Shi Xiaobai gently knocked on the mottled wooden door of the short and old building.
"The door isn't closed. Please come in."
A voice immediately responded from inside.
It was a familiar yet unfamiliar male voice. Shi Xiaobai had heard it before, but he did not have a deep impression of it.
Shi Xiaobai immediately pushed open the door.
The wooden door creaked as it was pushed open. The interior of the narrow room came into view. There were no windows in the room, only a chimney for ventilation. The sunlight entering the room was extremely dim, so there was only a candle in the room.
In the dim light of the fire, although the old walls and floor were covered with the marks of time, they were extremely clean. It was obvious that they had not been carefully cleaned for a long time.
Shi Xiaobai scanned the interior of the house and saw three people in the cramped house. They were sitting in three corners of the house. Two of them had their eyes closed in Cogitation, while the other looked like he was bored to death.
Shi Xiaobai focused his eyes and realized that the two people in Cogitation with their eyes closed were indeed familiar people. One of them was Pulp Farmer, while the other was Liu Yu. As for the idle person, he was a youth dressed in armor.
If he remembered correctly, this youth was called Feng Yuanlin? According to Mu Yuesheng, this youth had once protected him on the fifth level.
When the door was opened, Pulp Farmer and Liu Yu, who were in Cogitation, did not open their eyes. Clearly, they did not care who was knocking on the door.
Feng Yuanlin looked over with widened eyes. When he saw that it was Shi Xiaobai, he immediately exclaimed, "Wow, Boss Shi Xiaobai!"
With this said, Pulp Farmer and Liu Yu opened their eyes in unison. Both of them had looks of surprise on their faces.
Shi Xiaobai's appearance here was a very problematic matter for them. This was because the Bravehearts that slaughtered the seven dragons had already been produced. They were still finding it a pity that Shi Xiaobai had been eliminated at the sixth level, but now, he had appeared here.
Could it be that he had been promoted to the seventh level after killing four Level Lords? If that was the case, it did make sense.
However, how did Shi Xiaobai kill the four Level Lords? And why did he do it?
The three people in the room were instantly filled with questions.
However, before they could ask, Shi Xiaobai was the first to ask, "Only the three of you?"
Feng Yuanlin guessed what Shi Xiaobai was really asking and answered, "That's right. Only the three of us came to participate in the tournament. Sunless isn't here."
Shi Xiaobai was slightly disappointed when he heard this. After all, he had specially come to Transcendence's capital to meet Sunless, but he never expected that she wasn't here. He never expected that there would only be three people participating in the tournament. It was less than half.
Shi Xiaobai could not help but ask, "Isn't it said that participating in the tournament is the most mainstream way to clear the level?"
Feng Yuanlin said with a sheepish smile, "Mainstream often means the simplest … For proud and confident geniuses like Speechless, Mu Lengxi, and Sunless, they probably do not wish to take the usual path. Maybe they want to take a different path, or maybe they want to challenge the achievements of the Conquest King and the Hero King."
With Feng Yuanlin saying this, Shi Xiaobai immediately came to a realization. After all, he did not wish to clear the level through the tournament. After hearing the four different stories, he would always have the hot-blooded urge to create a fifth story.
However, Shi Xiaobai had a nagging feeling that it was not that simple.
At this moment, Pulp Farmer did not agree with what Feng Yuanlin said. He said, "Mainstream is not necessarily the simplest. Ever since Xu Taibai won the tournament, the strongest Transcendent, Leonis, was raised by a level. This resulted in no trial-taker being able to defeat Leonis in the next few millennia. People say that the Conquest King and the Hero King can easily defeat Leonis, but that might not be the case. After all, the Conquest King and the Hero King were only at the Psionic Mortal Realm back then. As for Leonis, his strength is probably on the same level as the Infernal King. Therefore, winning the tournament is not necessarily the easiest. However, even if one fails this path, there is not too much risk. Hence, it has become the most mainstream way to clear the level. "
Liu Yu added on, "Ignoring Leonis, the number of trial-takers in history that can defeat the second strongest Transcendent, Moya, and obtain the qualification to challenge the defending champion can be counted on one's fingers. Most trial-takers would fail in the qualifying rounds. In fact, it would be an extremely impressive feat to defeat any one of the eight Transcendent Bravehearts."
Shi Xiaobai said in astonishment, "The Transcendents are that powerful?"
Liu Yu said with a nod, "The Transcendents are the only race in this level that can resist the Infernal King. They are above all other races. They have a unique advantage in terms of physique. Furthermore, the eight Bravehearts have strength that exceeds the Psionic Mortal Realm. Especially Leonis and Moya, whose strength is unfathomable. Over the past few millennia, only five people have defeated Moya. The only one who has defeated Leonis is Xu Taibai. Furthermore, that was Leonis who is a level weaker than the present Leonis. The present Leonis nearly has the same strength as the Infernal King! "
