When Shi Xiaobai said this, Pulp Farmer and company were stunned. They said in a perplexed manner, "Targeted by the assessment program? What do you mean? "
Shi Xiaobai nodded his head gently.
The condition to clear the seventh level was to gain the approval of the assessment program. Logically speaking, defeating the strengthened Leonis and becoming the champion of the Braveheart Martial Arts Tournament was an achievement that was higher than what Xu Taibai had achieved years ago. It was reasonable for him to gain the approval of the assessment program.
However, Shi Xiaobai had done it, but he did not clear the level. The root of the problem was that the assessment program did not recognize him!
Although Shi Xiaobai had defeated Leonis because the Pig Slaughtering Knife was extremely effective against creatures of darkness, the Pig Slaughtering Knife was also a part of his strength. Shi Xiaobai had still won the final duel with his own strength, so there was no reason for the assessment program to not recognize him.
If that was the case, there was only one explanation. The assessment program had deliberately not recognized him!
This theory sounded ridiculous, but there were signs that pointed to it early on.
This was because Shi Xiaobai did not know how he had arrived at the seventh level. Furthermore, the assessment program had not informed him of the rules of the seventh level. He had only learned of the rules of the seventh level after encountering Speechless.
Back then, Shi Xiaobai had joked that he had probably been targeted by the assessment program.
But from the looks of it, that was the truth!
The assessment program had not informed him of the rules, nor had it recognized him after he defeated Leonis. This was clearly special treatment, which was also … targeted at him!
Shi Xiaobai roughly told Pulp Farmer and company what he understood.
Finally, he sighed and said helplessly, "Whatever, This King is already used to being targeted!"
Pulp Farmer and company were dumbfounded. They found the matter completely unreasonable.
Liu Yu said at this moment, "Actually, This Penniless Priest has always been puzzled as to why Benefactor Shi Xiaobai would appear on the seventh level. Who knew that even you do not know … Benefactor Shi Xiaobai, there is a matter that the three of us have always kept our mouths shut about, but now, it seems like there is no need to hide it … In fact, This Penniless Priest is the seventh Braveheart to slay the dragon. Feng Yuanlin is the sixth … And according to what we know, the fifth Braveheart to slay the dragon on the sixth level is … Mu Yuesheng."
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, he was slightly alarmed. He never expected Mu Yuesheng to snatch the fifth dragon from so many outstanding rookies. From the looks of it, Mu Yuesheng's strength had increased greatly after advancing to the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm.
After understanding the meaning behind Liu Yu's words, Shi Xiaobai said in surprise, "Then wouldn't This King be the eighth Braveheart?"
The first four Bravehearts had been confirmed when Shi Xiaobai reached the sixth level. They were Speechless, Mu Lengxi, Sunless, and Pulp Farmer. Then, according to what Liu Yu said, the fifth Braveheart was Mu Yuesheng, the sixth was Feng Yuanlin, and the seventh was Liu Yu. Then, wouldn't he be the eighth?
At this moment, Pulp Farmer also said, "Actually, I have a presumptuous question to ask you. Shi Xiaobai, why did you kill the Level Lords of the first, second, fifth and sixth levels? How did you do it?"
"Ah?"
Shi Xiaobai was also alarmed as he said in surprise, "When did This King kill four Level Lords?"
Shi Xiaobai had a deep understanding of the strength of a Level Lord. Back when he faced the Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign on the third level, he was truly helpless. He could only rely on Mu Yuesheng's superpower to escape. If not for the Absolute Choice's Master Conquest Ball, he might have been eliminated on the third level.
Kill four Level Lords? Shi Xiaobai had no impression of it at all. Furthermore, he did not seem to have any reason to do so!
Shi Xiaobai was surprised for a moment before he quickly figured out a few things.
All the mysteries could only have been caused after he had snatched Kali's corruptive power and lost his reason.
And the present situation was clearly related to Kali.
Shi Xiaobai pondered for a moment before he stopped thinking about it.
Since it was related to Kali, there was nothing to think about because it was impossible for Kali to harm him.
Seeing Pulp Farmer and company look at him with puzzled looks, Shi Xiaobai said with a smile, "You might have heard a fake Shi Xiaobai. Anyway, This King has no impression of this matter, nor does This King know how he reached the seventh level. Thinking about it, this has a close relationship with the assessment program targeting This King. But it doesn't matter. It suits This King's intentions. If it were so easy to clear the seventh level, it would be too boring! "
Shi Xiaobai's eyes shimmered with joy and excitement.
If it were any normal person, they would definitely be paranoid when faced with such a situation. They would be eager to figure out the truth as soon as possible. They would also be grumbling over why they had not cleared the level despite defeating Leonis. They would curse the assessment program for being so shameless to target them.
However, Shi Xiaobai would not do so. He would only be even more excited as his fighting spirit was ignited!
This was the biggest reason why Shi Xiaobai was different from others.
At this moment, Shi Xiaobai's body seemed to emit light in the eyes of Pulp Farmer and company. The trio looked each other in the eye and could only shake their heads and laugh. They felt even more admiration for him.
Feng Yuanlin asked, "Boss Shi Xiaobai, where do you plan on going next?"
If he was really targeted by the assessment program, where could Shi Xiaobai go now? What should he do?
To be honest, Shi Xiaobai was unsure himself.
Shi Xiaobai could only return with a question, "What about the rest of you?"
Feng Yuanlin answered, "According to what most trial-takers do, if they fail at the tournament, they will head to the Infernal domain to challenge the Infernal King if they are still in a good state. After all, surviving for a hundred days or what the Hero King did is too difficult. It's better to challenge the Infernal King. Therefore, the three of us will likely head to the Infernal domain to challenge the Infernal King. Boss Shi Xiaobai, why don't you join us? "
When Shi Xiaobai heard this, his eyes lit up slightly. Challenging the Infernal King was something he found very interesting. In fact, if he did not believe that Sunless would be in Transcendence, he would have immediately headed to the Infernal domain to kill the Infernal King.
However, Shi Xiaobai hesitated for a moment before he finally shook his head and said, "It's better not. If This King is really targeted by the assessment program, killing the Infernal King would likely be useless. Besides, This King wants to walk his own path. Therefore, This King will not be heading to the Infernal domain. "
Since defeating Leonis would not allow him to clear the level, killing the Infernal King would likely not change much.
Although Shi Xiaobai did not know what he should do next, he would cross the bridge when he came to it. The seventh level's world was created based on a real plane of existence, so the world's brilliance was likely not limited to that.
Why not use this rare opportunity to look around?
However, Shi Xiaobai was still somewhat curious about what the so-called Hero King had done. Why was it called the most legendary story?
Just as Shi Xiaobai was about to ask, the world suddenly turned silent. Time seemed to come to a standstill.
A fiery voice resounded in his mind.
"Make your choice, youth!"
A few lines of black text slowly unfolded in the frozen scene in front of him.
[Choice 1: Complete the King's Mandate (B-level reward)]
[Choice 2: End the Age of Bravehearts (B-level reward)]
[Choice 3: Leave the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower (No reward)]
"Make your choice, youth!"
.....
PS: The reason why there was no update on the second day of the upper limit exemption was mainly because the last three chapters of Beating Leonis were better read together. Publishing a single chapter alone would be very lame, so in consideration of the readers' reading experience, I decided to update it together after the upper limit exemption was over. I did not publish a single chapter because I had published such a chapter too many times in the past. If I published it too often, I would be annoyed. I never expected this matter to be criticized in all sorts of ways. I was even scolded for having a 'poor character'. Alright, it was my mistake. I should have published a single chapter. Those readers who are really waiting for the update are definitely my true love fans. I have to apologize to them here. Old readers should know that I care a lot about the readers' feelings. I often listen to the comments in the book review section. There were a few times when the readers said that the plot dragged on, so I had to delete the draft and rethink the plot. Later on, because I wrote a smelly fart, a puddle of piss and a mouthful of phlegm in the sixth level's plot, there were all sorts of curses in the book review section. I felt a little upset, so I did not read the book review section anymore because many of the comments were truly 'heart-wrenching'. But facts have proven that when I was upset, I did not treat it negatively. Instead, I seriously corrected it. The latter half of the sixth level's plot, which is also the part where Kali raged, I believe it did not disappoint everyone. It's still the same sentence. True love is only when accompanied to the end. At the very least, I will accompany this book to the end, giving it a perfect ending. I hope that I can see some familiar IDs at the end.)
