Chapter 475: Do you dare believe?

More than half a month had passed since a thousand rookies from the organization faction had entered the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower for the training selection. During this period, there were rookies that were sporadically eliminated. However, the results of the batch were rather striking. The number of trial-takers that reached the sixth level had far surpassed prior trials.
And the number of trial-takers that had entered the seventh level was surprisingly eight, strangely one more than usual.
The eight rookies had spent more than ten days in the seventh level. Matters regarding rookies did not have much of an astounding factor to China that had many 'major situations' happening every day. The topic of conversation during this period was naturally lackluster, but it surprisingly welcomed a peak three days ago.
Shi Xiaobai had killed another three Level Lords!
With that, the eight remaining Level Lords in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower had all been 'cleaned up' by Shi Xiaobai alone!
This matter that came with inklings of 'fantasy' caused a topic that stirred the masses. Citizens began to discuss the matter fervently as it turned more intense over the past three days.
And another matter that was related to the organization selection was pushed to the forefront at that moment.
…
In Shanghai City, a landmark building stood in a business district that resembled a concrete jungle. It reached far into the clouds. And at the top of the skyscraper, there was a large white U-shaped table inside a spacious meeting room. Senators of all shapes and sizes sat by the table as they conversed in whispers, as though they were discussing something.
It was noon and hot air swirled above the city. The interior of the room was extremely hot and stuffy, but the mood of the crowd's discussion did not seem affected in any way.
A large door in the meeting room was slowly pushed open without warning as a short white-browed elder with a benign and kind countenance entered. He walked to the podium slowly and following closely behind him was a tall and lanky beauty in a uniform.
The uniformed beauty wiped her black-rimmed glasses out of habit. The unbridled discussion from the crowd sitting beneath her made her somewhat annoyed, but she quickly calmed down as she said with a serious tone, "Everyone, please quiet down."
The uniformed beauty's voice wasn't loud, causing it to be instantly drowned by the unbridled discussion. It was as if the crowd had not discovered their existence as they continued their conversations.
Were they trying to put them down a notch?
The uniformed beauty sneered as she turned to look at the white-browed elder. In response, he slowly shook his head as he continued maintaining an amiable smile.
The uniformed girl nodded and remained silent.
The two stood quietly in front of the meeting room's podium as they silently watched the conversing senators like two silent statues.
These senators were representing China's various organizations in the meeting. There was no lack of members of the upper echelons of top tier organizations. In the beginning, they would maintain their politeness and respect for the white-browed elder, who was the organization senate's chairman. But after several meetings without an amicable outcome, they had finally ripped off the masks that hid their false pretense.
Taking the other party down a notch before a negotiation was a common tactic used by the upper echelons of organizations who were accustomed to using their power to suppress others.
The uniformed beauty sneered inwardly as she glanced helplessly at the white-browed elder. She was certain of one thing—if the benevolent-looking elder were truly enraged, a tiny application of a punishment or even maiming the so-called organizational upper echelons would leave the true leaders of top tier organizations so silent that they would not even dare produce a fart.
The elder was good in every aspect, except for his maintaining of an extremely low profile. He was very accommodating.
The uniformed beauty lowered her head slightly as she ignored the matter. Compared to wondering when the retarded senators would quiet down, she was more concerned with the plot of a television serial that she was following.
From the preview, it was likely a Shura battlefield between the main lead and the second and third male leads?
The uniformed beauty began fantasizing the plot and was soon immersed in her reverie.
The senators that were conversing on the surface had, in fact, had their eyes trained on the podium. The corners of their mouths twitched silently as they felt that their act of defiance had figuratively hit cotton. Despite having the strength of will, they lacked the power. Soon, they found it pointless as they gradually quietened down.
Regardless of the matter, the smile on the white-browed elder deepened with his goal achieved. He remained silent as he turned his head slightly and gave the uniformed beauty a nod.
The uniformed beauty had just fantasized the male lead kissing the second male lead. The latter had struggled initially before relenting. Finally, at the moment of subservience, he suddenly pushed the male lead and cursed out angrily, "What joke is this!? Why are you so proficient!? How many times have you kissed the third male lead?" Such an interesting scene had been suddenly interrupted. She silently cursed the organizations' upper echelons at their inability to continue their act of 'putting them down a notch or two'. They were indeed a bunch of lame fools.
However, work was work. She had to do it even if she was unhappy. With a sigh, she looked expressionlessly at the backbone of the hero organizations below her.
Seeing everyone cast their gazes at her, she deliberately cleared her throat a few times before saying, "I believe everyone already knows that the academic faction will finish their selection today. The name list for the collective training was also submitted long ago when it was the match of the final eight. However, our organization faction has been dragging it again and again. We have delayed determining the final two candidates for the collective training. The association has been urging us and it has even given us a final deadline. Therefore, today's meeting will be the final round of discussions before we make a decision."
After the uniformed beauty said those words, she swiftly walked to a wall beside the meeting room in her clacking high-heel shoes. She reached out her hand and pressed a button situated at a corner of a wall. A gigantic screen immediately rolled down and filled an entire wall. As a projector flashed to life, a series of text and figures appeared on the screen.
The uniformed beauty pointed at the wall and said, "Everyone, please take a look. These are the figures indicated on the stone monument. It was completely determined by the assessment program, as well as the final score and rankings of the trial-takers for this batch."
…
…
The figures displayed on the stone monument was not complicated. Written in rows, each row only had a name and a number.
The name represented the trial-takers, and the number was the score that the trial-takers had obtained during the trial. The score was determined by the assessment program and it was done with a specialized algorithm to create a summarized score. Therefore, the trial score was absolutely fair and authoritative. No one could doubt the values.
And ranked from top to bottom was the ranking of the people with the highest trial score.
The first place was undoubtedly Shi Xiaobai. With a high score of 95,601, he stood atop the rankings. As for second place, Speechless had only managed to barely break a score of ten thousand. The score Shi Xiaobai had earned was extremely exaggerated. It had already broken the highest score in human history and it had even exceeded the previous record by more than two times.
However, there was no debate regarding this score. That was because Shi Xiaobai had done a completely insane act. It was still a popular topic of discussion by the citizens of China. He had finished off eight of the Level Lords. Other than the third level's Thousand Eye Demon Sovereign which had been 'conquered', the other seven had been 'vanquished'!
According to expert analysis, the Level Lords of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower were at the Psionic Might Realm realm at the very least. They were two full realms above the trial-takers at the Psionic Mortal Realm. In the past, the only person to kill a Level Lord was the Hero King, but Shi Xiaobai had managed to finish off eight in one trial?
He had finished off all the Level Lords that Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower trial-takers feared meeting the most!
Even though there was major news happening every day, Shi Xiaobai's matter had astounded every citizen of China. He was always trending as one of the top few on the search engines.
How did Shi Xiaobai do it?
Which organization does Shi Xiaobai belong to?
Who is Shi Xiaobai?
These three topics had taken up seventh, fifth and second in the search engine rankings up to today.
It was common that some young hero would become famous after they appeared on a national, international, or even global tournament from a single match. However, no one had accomplished what Shi Xiaobai had done. About half a month ago, he was a complete unknown, but half a month later, he was practically known throughout the country.
Finishing off the eight Level Lords was not only an amazing miracle, he had also shone blessings on trial-takers in the future. Only the heavens knew how many unlucky people had been eliminated by the Level Lords during each trial of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower.
There were also people lamenting over the lack of a Shi Xiaobai when they were back in the Psionic Mortal Realm.
In short, Shi Xiaobai had gone 'viral' throughout China.
Of course, compared to Shi Xiaobai, the upper echelons of the other organizations were more concerned about the people who entered the final ten. They wanted to know who were the rookies that would participate in the two factions' collective training.
The stone monument's score and ranking were as follows:
1st: Shi Xiaobai [95,601]
2nd: Li, Speechless [11,111]
3rd: Ye, Sunless [10,560]
4th: Mu Lengxi [7,320]
5th: Mu Yuesheng [5,110]
6th: Pulp Farmer [5,021]
7th: Liu Yu [4,396]
8th: Feng Yuanlin [4,110]
The first eight were long fixed. That was because only eight of them had reached the seventh level. As for the rest, they could at most reach the sixth level.
And because of that, the trial score was only used as a form of evaluation. What was a 'life-and-death' matter was the ninth and tenth place!
The number of people that entered the sixth level was surprisingly more than expected. The official forecast that had An Mo and Zhou Chuchu in the top ten were also in the lineup. Therefore, the ranking created by the scores was like a massive army crossing a lone bridge. They would be stabbing at each other in a tragic showdown.
The citizens had believed that An Mo and Zhou Chuchu would emerge victorious eventually, but what shocked everyone was another hot topic of discussion among the populace which rode on Shi Xiaobai's coattails.
However, it was not a shocking event, but a strange matter used as a joke after meals.
9th: Wen Hezheng [2,017]
10th: Kevin [1,992]
Do you dare to believe it?
Two rookies from a second-rate organization that had not even reached the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm had won the final two spots.
