Shanghai City, Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower, Grand Auditorium
At this moment, the auditorium was not as packed as it was half a month ago. With most of the rookies being eliminated, the escorts from the various organizations had left one after another. Furthermore, the eight rookies that had entered the seventh level had already stayed in that world for more than ten days. No one knew when they would come out, so they naturally did not have to wait bitterly like they did in the beginning.
Other than a few dedicated reporters who were trying their best to obtain first-hand news, there were only a few people left in the auditorium, waiting for the rookies to come out or for the trial stone monument to change.
Riko, Mozzie, and Kevin were one of the few people. They were sitting in a corner of the auditorium with tense expressions. They looked rather nervous.
They were waiting.
They were not only waiting for news from Shi Xiaobai and Mu Yuesheng, they were also waiting for something equally important.
Mozzie and Kevin looked somewhat haggard, and there was a hint of unease in their eyes. A particular conference was being held in another building in Shanghai City. To a certain extent, it affected their futures, and even determined their fates. Even though they knew that they were inferior to An Mo and Zhou Chuchu, and that there were countless rookies that were more qualified than them to obtain the two spots, they still had the humble desire to participate in the collective training.
They still remembered that before they left Steel City, Shi Xiaobai had walked ahead and said in high spirits, "The four of us will enter the top ten. Let's go, follow This King into battle!"
Back then, they had treated it as a joke and felt that it was nonsense.
But now, there was suddenly a possibility of it being realized.
Be it Shi Xiaobai's boast, or the extravagant hope in their hearts, all of it suddenly had a slim chance of being realized.
Even if it was just a grain of quicksand, they still had extravagant hopes of grasping it. However, there were countless people, countless opinions, and countless voices of opposition. They were forcefully prying open their hands and breaking their fingers bit by bit.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, how could they have the courage to resist the important figures of the various organizations, resist the one-sided pressure of public opinion, and resist the citizens of the entire country who viewed them with prejudice?
They did not have the courage, and even if they did, it would be useless.
Their only hope was to pin their hopes on a miracle in the ongoing conference, right?
Lizi sighed in her heart. She could understand the pressure in their hearts. They wanted to give up but were unwilling. They didn't want to give up but were helpless. That was a pressure that shouldn't be borne at this age.
She patted Kevin on the shoulder and held Mozzie's hand. She said softly, "Don't worry. My father hates' unfair 'matters the most. He will not' yield '. Chairman Jiang is also famous for being' upright '. He will definitely uphold justice, and …"
Furthermore, I 'invited' Teacher One-Pun over, so I'm not afraid of those bastards being unreasonable!
Lizi hid this sentence in her heart and comforted them, "Moreover, you didn't get into the top ten by luck. Your progress even surprised me. It's definitely not 'all because of your thighs' as those villains said. Don't worry, the truth will come out sooner or later, and the truth will slap you in the face sooner or later! Hmph! "
Lizi's words made Kevin and Mozzie's expressions turn slightly better, but they were still so nervous that their hands were trembling. Mozzie forced a smile that looked uglier than crying and nodded gently.
Kevin seemed to suddenly think of something as he frowned slightly. He turned to look at Lizi and whispered, "I believe Division Minister Minamiya. If not for him, the previous few conferences would have ended. But is it really appropriate to do so? Most of the people who participated in the conference are not easy to deal with. I heard that 'Fierce Ax Boor' Zhang Meng is also participating. What if … "
When Lizi heard this, she looked at Kevin in surprise. At such an important moment for her, he was still able to spare the time to care for others. This outstanding quality was definitely extraordinary.
Although 'a scholar must be seen in a different light after three days', wasn't Kevin's change too great? The 'Blonde Narcissist' who kept mentioning 'genius' at the Gaia rookie assessment was now so sensible?
Lizi was very curious about what had happened in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower.
She glanced at Kevin's worried expression and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Ignoring that boorish Zhang Meng, even if Thor's Thunder Emperor came personally, he would absolutely not dare to use force, because … a certain bald uncle is watching by the side."
Kevin was taken aback for a moment before realizing that 'bald uncle' was referring to the hero One-Pun. Thinking of One-Pun and Lizi's teacher-student relationship, he immediately heaved a sigh of relief. If One-Pun was around, Zhang Meng would indeed not be able to act presumptuously. However, for One-Pun, who was busy saving victims all over the world every day, to take the time to pay attention to a tiny conference for the rookie collective training probably meant that Lizi had put in a lot of effort.
When Kevin thought of this, he looked gratefully at Lizi and said with a nod, "That's good."
Following that, he lowered his head and began worrying about his' future 'once again.
Lizi smiled and did not speak further. She was not an understanding lady who was good at comforting people. She did not know how to enlighten Mozzie and Kevin, nor did she know how to reduce the anxiety and pressure in their hearts. The only thing she could do was probably stay by their side and wait for the outcome of the conference.
Furthermore, she was also waiting for another matter.
Lizi turned her head to look at the gigantic stone monument erected in the middle of the auditorium. The text on the monument's surface remained unchanged. Shi Xiaobai's name remained on the stone monument's seventh level.
"All the best, Little Pervert!"
Lizi said silently in her heart.
She never expected Shi Xiaobai to reach this step, nor did she expect that Shi Xiaobai had conquered eight Level Lords. He had rapidly become popular on the internet in such a short period of time, occupying the trending searches. Like a rising comet, he had become a super rookie that everyone knew.
She still remembered the first time she met Shi Xiaobai. Shi Xiaobai was just a weak ordinary person who had never come into contact with Psionic Power. He was powerless against an F Class calamity fiend and could only struggle desperately to stall for time to save a particular Little Fatso.
And now, how long had it been?
In less than three months' time!
In less than three months, he had gone from an ordinary person to a super rookie that was the focus of attention from the entire country!
If Lizi had not witnessed Shi Xiaobai's appearance three months ago, she would definitely have scoffed at the matter as a "ridiculous and nonsensical story". Even though she had witnessed it with her own eyes and knew that it was not fabricated, she still found it unbelievable and unimaginable.
In Lizi's impression, Shi Xiaobai was a chuunibyou who called himself 'This King'. He was a fool who had said to her, "Join Xiaobai's Hero Squad and save the world with This King". He was a "Little Pervert" who had taken advantage of her while experimenting with his superpower …
She was unable to associate the Shi Xiaobai in her impression with the number one super rookie in the organization faction!
Only the heavens knew what the Little Pervert had experienced …
"Ding Ling Ling!"
Just as Lizi was letting her imagination run wild, the cell phone in her hand suddenly rang!
