No one knew that the youth who had lost his mind was a reporter from a small newspaper, nor did they know that his loss of mind was actually an act.
If the upper echelons of the organizations knew of Chen Dandan's' audacity ', they would probably beat him up so badly that he could not take care of himself.
However, how could the upper echelons guess the 'truth'? They only believed that the matter that should have been discussed in private had been forcefully brought to the surface by a hothead.
Furthermore, the suited man who represented the upper echelons in the meeting could not help but stand forward.
Then, there was no longer a need to hide the matter.
Not only were the citizens discussing how long Shi Xiaobai could stay in the eighth level and whether he could break the Conquest King's record, the members of the upper echelons of the other organizations were actually more concerned. This was because it affected how many 'chips' they needed to fork out to poach Shi Xiaobai.
They believed that a second-rate organization like Gaia was not worthy of an excellent rookie like Shi Xiaobai. What happened previously was just a bright pearl covered in dust, and he had been dragged into a pit.
The upper echelons of the seven major organizations believed that the conditions they could offer Shi Xiaobai were definitely higher than Gaia's. Gaia did not have the ability to stop them from poaching Shi Xiaobai. The crux of the issue was how they were going to compete with the other organizations, and how much Shi Xiaobai was worth.
And because of this, although they were resentful towards Gaia due to the meeting, and hated Shi Xiaobai to the core, they did not dare say it out loud. They were afraid that they would be used by people with ulterior motives, leaving a bad impression on Shi Xiaobai.
The upper echelons tactfully discussed in private.
However, he did not expect the man in the suit, who was the most shrewd and the most scheming, to actually step forward. This man in the suit was a well-known intellectual in the dark organization!
What was even more unexpected was that the suited man would really give a lengthy analysis after being goaded by Chen Dandan.
"Evidence that Shi Xiaobai might not be stronger than the Conquest King?"
The suited man gave a faint smile and said, "In fact, I have done some research on the Conquest King's history. The Conquest King was born with divine strength, with the strength to uproot mountains and rivers. He was on par with the Overlord Ji Feng. What was even more commendable was the Conquest King's agility. He was extremely fast, and in dangerous situations, he had more means to deal with situations than Ji Feng. Although Ji Feng and company did not reveal any information regarding the eighth level, the three of them had been defeated in a few hours. It could be guessed that the eighth level was an extremely difficult and dangerous test. And how long could Shi Xiaobai last? In fact, many of the rookies participating in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower have crossed paths with Shi Xiaobai. We have gathered quite a bit of information regarding Shi Xiaobai. Back in the second level's defense of the cities, Shi Xiaobai had once destroyed the rookies' cities before leading them to launch a counterattack on the Demon City. This was indeed a sensational feat, but from the descriptions of the rookies, Shi Xiaobai had only managed to do it with his rather proficient Crab Steps and some tricks. He did not have the strength to crush the rookies. On the fourth level, Heartless had been defeated by Shi Xiaobai, but according to him, Shi Xiaobai had only defeated him after a bitter battle despite being strong. On the fifth level, everyone witnessed the battle between Shi Xiaobai and Sen Senyuan. Although Shi Xiaobai's performance was excellent, he did not possess the strength to crush Sen Senyuan. After a bitter battle, he managed to force Sen Senyuan into retreat. Following that, he was knocked unconscious by the black-robed blood figure. He managed to survive the fifth level under the protection of everyone. On the sixth level, although Shi Xiaobai had shattered the diamond monster that was blocking his path with a single punch, that punch had been charged up for half an hour. If it were the Conquest King or Overlord Ji Feng, it would definitely not have taken that long! In summary, although Shi Xiaobai is strong, he does not possess the suffocating strength to crush others at the same realm like the Conquest King and company. No one knows how he killed the eight Level Lords or how he cleared the seventh level. The other six rookies that reached the seventh level and Speechless, who unfortunately sacrificed himself, were taken away by their respective organizations the moment they came out. We still have no way of determining if Shi Xiaobai had really done it with his own strength or if he had used some unknown means. However, based on the information that the trial-takers saw with their own eyes, Shi Xiaobai might not be the real deal! At the very least, from my point of view, Shi Xiaobai might not even be able to last three hours, much less five hours! "
The suited man was clearly long prepared and not on a whim. Combining the information that his subordinates had obtained from the rookies, he gave a step-by-step analysis. It was reasonable and well-founded, leaving the upper echelons stunned. They thought to themselves that what the suited man said made sense. Although the strength that Shi Xiaobai displayed on the surface was astounding, it was not as astounding as the Conquest King when he was at the Psionic Mortal Realm. Although there was the possibility of him hiding his strength, the possibility was not high. If not, why would he faint at the fifth level and nearly be eliminated?
Could it be that Shi Xiaobai had really used some unknown means?
At that moment, the middle-aged woman from the Zeus organization also said, "Shi Xiaobai did not only have a bitter battle on the fourth level. I'm the leader of the Zeus organization. I personally asked Heartless about it. He said that he was only one move away from Shi Xiaobai. Furthermore, Shi Xiaobai had definitely paid a considerable price to defeat him!"
The middle-aged woman's eyes hid a trace of viciousness. In fact, Heartless had only said that he had done his best, so he had nothing to say about his defeat. After that, he remained silent. However, the middle-aged woman's hatred for Gaia was too deep. She did not hesitate to lie to discredit Shi Xiaobai.
Everyone immediately broke out into a flurry of discussion. They suddenly felt that the matter was not that simple.
At this moment, someone asked, "By the way, isn't Miss Sunless, who entered the seventh level, also from the Zeus organization? What does she think of this matter? "
The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "Sunless was taken away by Senior God of Swords the moment she came out, so there was no time to ask. However, her expression did not look good. This is the first time I've seen Sunless reveal such an expression … I'm guessing that Sunless must be feeling indignant that the person who cleared the seventh level was not her!"
The middle-aged woman was already 'deranged'. She had misinterpreted Sunless's expression when she came out. She sneered and said, "Why is Sunless indignant? It's probably because the strength Shi Xiaobai displayed was insufficient to convince her! Therefore, from my point of view, Shi Xiaobai might not even be able to last three hours to match the lowest record, much less break the Conquest King's record! "
With the suited man and the middle-aged woman's' irrefutable evidence ', the upper echelons of the various organizations were immediately spurred on. They began to suspect if there was a problem with Shi Xiaobai's results.
"According to Ah San from our organization, Shi Xiaobai was nearly stopped by them when he destroyed their cities on the second level. If not for Shi Xiaobai's sudden appearance that caught them off guard, the outcome would be hard to say. I don't really believe that he was hiding his strength."
"That's right, our Ah Four had even protected Shi Xiaobai on the fifth level! Back then, Shi Xiaobai had fainted from his battle with Sen Senyuan and the black-robed bloody figure. If not for Ah Four and the others protecting him, he would have long been eliminated. If Shi Xiaobai could really defeat a Level Lord at the Psionic Might Realm, he wouldn't be in such a pathetic state even if he was hiding his strength, right? "
"Hehe, I heard from our Ah Five that the sixth level's rule is that only seven Bravehearts who slay the dragon can reach the seventh level. And Shi Xiaobai is not one of the seven. It's unknown what means Shi Xiaobai used to break the rule and become the eighth person to clear the level. Do you think it's possible that Shi Xiaobai discovered some loophole? Although the assessment program is a product of a super civilization, any program would definitely have loopholes. Maybe Shi Xiaobai accidentally discovered a loophole? "
"That's possible! If Shi Xiaobai really discovered some impressive loophole, it would explain why he could do so many unbelievable things despite not having such powerful strength on the surface. "
"At the end of the day, I still find it unbelievable that a second-rate organization like Gaia can produce such an unprecedented rookie? Isn't this like pulling gold out of a shit hole? It's too fake! "
Everyone engaged in a flurry of discussion. The more they said, the nastier they became, and the more unbridled they became.
It was unknown who made the prediction of how long Shi Xiaobai could last in the eighth level. Immediately, everyone no longer hid their thoughts and began discussing.
"I believe Shi Xiaobai can't last more than three hours."
"Although I think what all of you said makes sense, I still believe Shi Xiaobai should be able to last more than three hours. However, four hours would be a little difficult."
"If I were to say that he could last more than five hours, would I be playing to the gallery?"
"Don't even think about five hours. I think it should be two and a half hours? It's not bad if he can last half as long as the Conquest King! "
"Hehe, all of you are really belittling Shi Xiaobai. What if he really exceeds five hours?"
"It's best not to think about that, unless he really hid his strength in the first six levels, to the point of nearly being eliminated. I think it would be enough to prove himself if he can last two hours. "
"…"
The auditorium was in an uproar as the upper echelons of the various organizations began to discuss how long Shi Xiaobai could last in the eighth level. In fact, they were venting the 'grievance' they had endured at the meeting. Since everyone was' participating ', they were not afraid that the other organizations would use this matter to vie for Shi Xiaobai. Furthermore, the more they belittled Shi Xiaobai, the lower the price they had to pay to poach Shi Xiaobai. This was akin to snatching a valuable item at an auction. The more one showed contempt, the less the price would be bid up.
Everyone had their own ulterior motives as their discussions became more unbridled.
Suddenly!
"Weng! Weng! Weng! "
An ear-piercing sound suddenly pierced through the crowd. It made everyone cover their ears involuntarily!
