"Leonis is considered a legendary figure among the Transcendents. He is not a purebred Transcendent, but a 'hybrid' between a lion-headed man and a Transcendent. The Transcendents have extreme racial views, so Leonis was discriminated and bullied from a young age. However, for some unknown reason, his talent far exceeds that of the other Transcendents. Gradually, he became the strongest Transcendent. Therefore, although he became the king of the Transcendents with unparalleled strength, there are many who are secretly unconvinced by him. Especially recently, Leonis has begun to reveal thoughts of overthrowing racial discrimination. He has secretly formed a villainous faction with the second strongest, Moya, as the leader. At this martial arts tournament, they will rebel in an attempt to overthrow Leonis. This is the storyline background of Transcendence. How about it? Interesting, right? "
Feng Yuanlin tirelessly introduced the current situation of Transcendence to Shi Xiaobai.
This information obviously came from the countless trial-takers from before. Such information could be easily found on the Internet. This was the reason why the first six levels of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower were randomly generated from the tens of thousands of rule pools. It was to prevent trial-takers from using the experiences of their predecessors to come up with any shortcuts.
And from the seventh level onwards, even if one clearly knew how to clear the level, one could only lament one's inadequacy without sufficient strength.
Shi Xiaobai had a deep understanding of the racial discrimination of the Transcendents. Furthermore, the green-skinned dwarf that led the way for him happened to be named Moya.
The dwarf's words did have an air of superiority, but he never expected him to be the second strongest Transcendent!
Shi Xiaobai only felt 'schadenfreude' over the Transcendents' impending civil strife. He did not have a good impression of the race that thought highly of themselves.
"What's the outcome of the civil strife?"
Shi Xiaobai could not help but ask. Since the story would be refreshed once a month, the outcome had likely played out countless times.
Feng Yuanlin stretched out two fingers and said, "There are two versions of the outcome. The simpler version is that the trial-takers, which is us, defeat Moya in the qualifying rounds. Then, Moya's prestige will be wiped out, and the civil strife will collapse on its own."
"The slightly more complicated version is that Moya has obtained the qualifications to challenge the defending champion. He will have a final battle with Leonis, who has been the champion of the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament for seven consecutive years. In the final battle, the eight Transcendent Bravehearts would suddenly sneak attack Leonis, and then … guess what happened? "
Feng Yuanlin mischievously kept them in suspense.
Shi Xiaobai thought for a moment and said, "King Leonis won?"
Feng Yuanlin said with a light laugh, "Not just won, but also … an instant kill! So Leonis had been hiding his true strength all this while. In his rage, he finally flipped out. The eight Bravehearts were instantly killed, and Moya only lasted a few moves before dying! "
Shi Xiaobai was slightly alarmed. In the millennia after Xu Taibai, only five trial-takers had defeated Moya and obtained the qualifications to challenge for the championship. As for Leonis, he was able to instantly kill the eight Bravehearts. In a siege, he had managed to kill Moya in a few strikes. How terrifying was his true strength!? It was no wonder that no one had won the championship after Xu Taibai.
At this moment, Liu Yu said, "Therefore, although challenging the Martial Arts Tournament is the most mainstream, it might not be the easiest. Leonis's true strength shouldn't be much weaker than the Infernal King. However, this path is relatively less risky. Even if you fail the challenge, you can still attempt other paths. "
Feng Yuanlin said with a sheepish smile, "That seems to be the case. On careful thought, there's no hope of becoming the champion of the Martial Arts Tournament. Being able to defeat Moya is something to brag about for years. Anyway, Liu Yu and I are just here to join in the fun. To be able to reach the seventh level and enter the top ten of the selection, we should be satisfied."
These words were said without any ambition. Liu Yu, who had been jokingly called a 'salted fish', did not retort. Instead, he said earnestly, "This Penniless Priest does not have much ambition. To be able to witness the cause and effect of an internal strife is enough. However, Benefactor Xiaobai, Benefactor Paper Farmer, the two of you are different. You have infinite possibilities. If possible, please do your best to defeat Moya. Let those Transcendents who look down on humans witness the might of us humans! "
Be it the gazes of the Transcendent commoners or the allocation of the guest house, they could clearly feel the racial discrimination and unequal treatment from the Transcendents. In fact, Liu Yu and company were just like Shi Xiaobai. They were filled with resentment.
Pulp Farmer nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice, "There's no need for you to say it. I can't wait to let the Transcendents know that humans are a great race that far exceeds their imaginations!"
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he felt his blood boil. However, he could not help but sigh and say, "This King … does not plan on participating in the Martial Arts Tournament."
Shi Xiaobai did not plan on participating in the Martial Arts Tournament from the beginning, even if he had a strong desire to smack Moya and the Transcendents in the face.
However, he could not do so. This was because once he participated in the Martial Arts Tournament, he could not lose. At the very least, he could not lose to the Transcendents.
He would work hard to become the final champion.
However, becoming the champion meant that he would lose the chance to create a fifth story. Furthermore, leaving the seventh level before meeting Sunless was equivalent to going back on his promise.
As for fighting a few rounds before giving up, that would be a waste of time. He might as well take the opportunity to eat the holy tree while the Martial Arts Tournament was being held.
Therefore, Shi Xiaobai did not plan on participating in the Martial Arts Tournament.
Shi Xiaobai sighed and said, "Sorry."
Pulp Farmer said calmly, "There's no need to apologize. We can understand your choice."
Feng Yuanlin said with a laugh, "Haha, there's really no need for Boss Shi Xiaobai to take action over such trivial matters. The three of us are enough to make those Transcendents look at us in a different light!"
Shi Xiaobai nodded seriously and said, "Alright, This King believes that you will definitely be able to smack those alien races in the face! Although This King will not participate, This King will accompany you until the Martial Arts Tournament ends before leaving. "
…
…
At nine in the morning, the Martial Arts Tournament began. The alien races in the guest house began to gather at the venue where the Martial Arts Tournament was held.
The Martial Arts Tournament venue could accommodate more than ten thousand people. The Transcendent commoners were already waiting in the audience stands early in the morning. It was nearly filled before the competition began.
The annual Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament was considered the biggest event in Transcendence. With hundreds of races gathered, the competition between Bravehearts was very entertaining.
Pulp Farmer and company had already set off to the contestants' area to wait. After Shi Xiaobai bade farewell to the trio, he headed for the region where the Transcendence Holy Tree was located alone.
As Shi Xiaobai expected, with the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament about to begin, there were indeed fewer people around the Transcendence Holy Tree. After all, compared to the holy tree that could be viewed at any time, it was more important to enjoy the annual Martial Arts Tournament.
However, there were still four Transcendent guards standing guard around the holy tree. (To be continued.)
