The adonis gave a self-deprecating smile and he suddenly felt somewhat depressed.

Chapter241 I have champagne in my room
In fact, the middle-aged man and woman were not particularly optimistic about the adonis. They felt rage more than pity when they saw the adonis's loss of an arm.
They were both angry because the organization had lost a talent they had arduously nurtured as well as angry over his carelessness.
The adonis could tell the angry expressions from the duo as he clenched his left fist.
"What exactly happened?" the middle-aged man asked again.
The adonis took a deep breath and said coldly, "It's all because of Tu Dahei!"
With this said, a strange glint flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man and woman. The middle-aged woman asked, "Are you saying Gaia's Tu Dahei caused you to lose an arm?"
The adonis nodded in silence.
The adonis hesitated for a moment and was prepared to explain the situation.
However, the middle-aged man suddenly asked, "Did Tu Dahei suddenly sneak up on you and cut off your right arm?"
The adonis was taken aback. Although he hated Tu Dahei, he would not go as far as fabricating a story. He shook his head and said, "That wasn't the case, but..."
The middle-aged man interjected with a sullen face, "What do you mean but? That was what happened! Tu Dahei held a grudge with you because of the brawl that happened last night in the hotel. So he attempted to kill you while you were not attentive during the trials. Although you managed to dodge, your arm was cut off. Then, you used the exit command to escape successfully."
"This..."
The adonis fell silent as his eyes flickered with uncertainty.
The middle-aged woman said with a solemn voice, "Since you said Tu Dahei was the one who caused you harm, don't you have any resentment for him?"
The adonis's pupils dilated. He obviously hated Tu Dahei. He did not hate Tu Dahei for not saving him at the critical moment, but he hated Tu Dahei for winning Sunless's feelings.
How could Tu Dahei tarnish that heavenly snow lotus he could only watch from afar without daring to approach?
His jealousy for Tu Dahei had turned to hate.
The adonis nodded his head heavily.
The middle-aged woman said softly, "Then that's all. Following that, you just need to follow as we tell you to do. We will guarantee you that Tu Dahei will pay the ultimate price! Remember, Tu Dahei attacked you because of a personal grudge. You failed to dodge in time, resulting in an arm being cut off. Right, was there anyone else there?"
The adonis shook his head in a deadpan manner.
The middle-aged woman smiled, "That's great!"
The adonis looked up and saw the joy and smiles on the middle-aged man and woman's faces.
He had lost an arm, but they could smile so happily?
"I'm tired. I need some quietness."
The adonis sighed and turned around to let his back face them.
"Alright, have a good rest. Don't worry. The organization will definitely seek justice for you!"
After the middle-aged man said this, the two turned around without looking back and walked out of the medical ward.
...
The middle-aged man and woman quickly walked to a secluded corner and conjured a soundproof domain.
The middle-aged man whispered, "This is a fantastic opportunity. It seems our plans on encroaching Gaia can be restarted."
The middle-aged woman gave a slight sneer and said, "Previously, that Tu Dahei destroyed our plans, but who knew he would offer himself like this. Remember to execute this matter without telling the elderly God of Swords. Ever since the battle exchange, he has been adamantly trying to prevent the encroaching plans, but he refuses to say the reason. He only mentions that Gaia is filled with hidden talents. What a joke. If Gaia truly had hidden talents, would they have been reduced to second tier? That old fogey must be cherishing his friendship with One-Pun. It's truly as the saying goes, once you turn old, your blade turns blunt."
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "We will secretly execute this matter. We need to find an appropriate opportunity and expose this matter. It's best when most rookies are present. It's rumored that Tu Dahei is extremely arrogant and is disliked by the rookies. When the time comes, we might even get some free support."
The middle-aged woman fell into silence for a moment and said, "When the trials are reduced to the last few people, nearly everyone will be gathered in the auditorium to pay attention to the final level of the trial. At that moment, we can 'seek justice' from Yama Minamiya, and stir up the problem and make the situation tense and irrecoverable. Even if Yama Minamiya is willing to sacrifice Tu Dahei and compromise, we will insist on things. Then, we will angrily lose all decorum in front of everyone. When the time comes, Zeus will have enough reason to encroach onto Gaia."
The middle-aged man revealed a smile and said, "That's a good timing. Those rookies would have just finished the trial and would definitely be feeling unhappy. It would be the perfect time for them to vent their hatred for Tu Dahei too. I can already imagine how Tu Dahei is being condemned by everyone, the scene of him being unable to give a convincing explanation. It would definitely be very interesting."
The middle-aged woman also smiled. "This matter shall be done in this way. Our positions will make a giant leap. Those old fogeys have been coveting Gaia's heritage series greatly."
The middle-aged man said, "Let's celebrate tonight?"
The middle-aged woman nodded, "I have champagne in my room."
...
...
As the organization faction was undergoing their selection, the academic faction was naturally doing the same. The academic faction had long begun the audition of the entire country. It was different from the organization's decision using one round. The academic faction had plenty of manpower, so the entire selection process was open and extensive.
All the freshmen could enroll to join in the mass training and selection. Every round, there would be recorded video that would be posted on the official video feed!
And today, the day when the organization faction was undergoing their selection, the academic faction's national audition had come to an end. The rookies chosen from each province's audition had arrived in Beijing today!
One super rookie after another walked out of the airport. The people who came to welcome them cheered. It was different from the organization faction where hero missions were considered. The academic faction paid more focus to the formation of the students' fame. If the academic institute could produce a celebrity-grade hero, that would greatly increase the reputation of the institute.
Hence, all the super rookies sent by the academic faction were exposed from the moment they entered their institutes. As such, their fame was much greater than the super rookies in the organization faction. Every year, the number of super rookies the academic faction received far exceeded the organization faction.
And this year, a new record was made. There were more than fifty super rookies throughout the country. More than forty of them chose to carry on with their studied, with fewer than ten joining the organizations. This was also one of the reasons why the conflict between the two factions suddenly intensified.
Although the super rookies only represented being first in the overall quality assessment in their province, it did not mean they were the strongest. However, this situation clearly made the organization faction feel greatly threatened.
Noon.
At the academic faction's selection venue, it was a stadium that could hold ten thousand people. It was already filled with spectators.
The selection style of the academic faction had a very rich academic vibe to it. It was a single knockout duel!
The two hundred and fifty-six freshmen that were selected would participate in an elimination tournament until thirty-six peop
le were left. Following that, they would be split into teams to vie for the top ten spots. Finally, a second round of elimination matches would decide the final rankings!
It would last for many days and it would be a feast for the audience's eyes, creating several headlines. This was the standard style of the academic faction!
And today's first round in the playoffs was sufficient to grab the attention of many. This was because the first contestant on the candidate name list was the princess of Battle Arena Corporation, Princess Xiao Xiao, who studied in Peihua University!

Chapter242 You and I know Shi Xiaobai
Xiao Xiao was not a super rookie, but her fame exceeded most super rookies. This was because of that, despite her coming third in this year's graduation examinations, it was a rank she received in Beijing. The value of that ranking alone was much greater than any province's super rookie could get!
Furthermore, she was the only heir to the Battle Arena Corporation. Her family's fortune was worth in the tens of billions and her beauty could topple countries. Despite her background putting head and shoulders above others, and that she could use her face alone to receive the attention of others, she had used her strength to prove herself.
She formed a stark contrast to the prodigal or useless scions in the upper circles in Beijing.
For Xiao Xiao to be addressed by the general public as 'Princess', she was obviously popular.
And in today's first playoffs it was Xiao Xiao's turn. Her opponent was not famous. His strength was ranked below average among the two hundred and fifty-six contestants. As such, there was no suspense to the outcome. However, in order to witness the Princess’ glory, the audience had come early, filling the audience stands.
...
Outside the stadium in the candidate's resting area, there were three people who had arrived at the door. They had met with quite a problem.
"Sorry, you have to show your identification. The candidate list does have a freshman named 'Chen Lingcun', but for some reason, there's no picture. If you do not have an identity card, we can't believe you."
A few security guards blocked the entrance as a suited middle-aged man said in a warm manner.
The silver-haired teenager frowned slightly.
The red-haired girl beside the silver-haired teenager glared at the guard, and just as she wanted to say something, the silver-haired teenager stared at her. The red-haired girl harrumphed before shutting her mouth.
A handsome youth standing behind the silver-haired teenager and the red-haired girl said softly, "Brother, shall I just give up?"
The silver-haired teenager shook his head and said, "No, you have to find a way to elevate your existential presence and try your best to eliminate the white...aura. The two factions' mass training has extremely high visibility. Furthermore, you have been abandoning your cultivation all these years without rising to the Psionic Soul Realm. This is a heaven-given opportunity. It would be a pity if you miss it."
The silver-haired youth shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "If I want to raise the visibility of myself, there are many ways. I just need to..."
The silver-haired teenager shook his head with a smile. "You sure have many crazy ideas, but most of them can't be used. The factional collective training is the right way."
The suited man could not help but roll his eyes when he heard the siblings speak. He wanted to deride them saying that the factional collective training was not something they could enter as they wish. Visibility was not something one could rise as they wished. One needed to have the ability first!
The silver-haired youth said reluctantly, "Alright, you are my elder brother. You're the boss."
The silver-haired teenager smiled and looked at the suited man as he pondered with a frown.
The reason why there was no photo on the registration form was most likely because the staff who kept the photos had forgotten about it.
This was one of the disadvantages of having too low an existential presence. However, how could they show an identity card they did not even have?
Did they need to use that relationship?
The silver-haired teenager glanced at the red-haired girl. He never liked to use the help of others, much less the red-haired girl beside him.
At this moment, the suited man's eyes suddenly lit up. He walked forward and said loudly, "Princess Xiao Xiao, this way, please."
The three turned around and saw a beautiful girl with pink wavy hair walking towards the entrance. She was dressed in a white long-sleeved blouse and a white laced skirt. There was a large pink butterfly knot at her chest.
The security guards made way, giving her ample space.
Xiao Xiao gave a courteous nod and gave the trio a glance. Quickly, she looked away and was about to step into the resting area.
A brilliant idea flashed in the silver-haired youth's mind as he cocked his head at the silver-haired teenager, "It's time to act."
The silver-haired teeanger was slightly taken aback as he shook his head with a laugh, "You have a plan?"
The silver-haired youth did not reply as he quietly took a step forward and said, "Princess Xiao Xiao, please hold on!"
Xiao Xiao came to a halt and turned around as her eyes slowly fixated on the silver-haired youth's body. She asked curiously, "Yes?"
The silver-haired youth walked towards her. The security guards deftly reached out his hand to block him. The silver-haired youth came to a halt and at a distance about three meters away from Xiao Xiao, he whispered, "Hello, my name is Chen Lingcun, Shi Xiaobai's friend!"
When Xiao Xiao heard the words 'Shi Xiaobai', her breathing faltered. This name was obviously no stranger to her. The events that had happened back in the virtual world were still vivid in her mind. He had told her his name at the final moment before stabbing her in the heart. She could not forget it even if she wanted.
After encountering Shi Xiaobai, she understood what it meant that there was always someone better in this world. She had been desperately cultivating over the past few days, in the hopes of entering the factional collective training. If she could chance upon the little pervert who once carried her while running, she did not want to be flung behind him again.
At this moment, she immediately felt like she was living in an illusion, hearing this name from a stranger she suddenly met.
"How do you know...I know Shi Xiaobai?"
Xiao Xiao exhaled. During the virtual reality competition, the identity of 'IChooseDogLeading' was always a mystery. Other than her, it appeared as though no one knew Shi Xiaobai was 'IChooseDogLeading'. And the only time she had interacted with Shi Xiaobai was at that virtual competition. Then, how did the person in front of her know that she knew Shi Xiaobai, and could say things like "I'm Shi Xiaobai's friend”?
Chen Lingcun smiled and said, "Xiaobai previously mentioned you."
This was obviously a lie. Chen Lingcun had only accidentally stumbled on the news that was neglected by the masses. From the description from the news, the intelligent him managed to guess that Shi Xiaobai was 'IChooseDogLeading'. However, he did not know what Xiao Xiao and Shi Xiaobai's relationship was. Neither did he know if Xiao Xiao knew that IChooseDogLeading’s name was Shi Xiaobai.
Hence, he directly said that he knew Shi Xiaobai instead of saying a bunch of bullshit before Xiao Xiao said 'who is Shi Xiaobai'. That would be awkward.
Now, from the looks of it, his luck was pretty good. Xiao Xiao did know Shi Xiaobai, and from the looks of it, their relationship was pretty good?
After Xiao Xiao heard Chen Lingcun's words, her eyes lit up slightly. She opened her mouth, but did not say a word. After a few moments, she coyly said, "What...did he say?"
From her actions, Chen Lingcun was slightly surprised.
This relationship appeared far from pretty good?
Chen Lingcun immediately imitated Shi Xiaobai's tone by saying, "This King will eventuall
y save the world, let alone a mortal princess?"
Xiao Xiao burst out laughing. This sentence made her recall the words Shi Xiaobai had said in the virtual world. The way he spoke was still vivid in her mind.
This sentence was truly Shi Xiaobai's style. For the silver-haired youth to know this, he clearly had a great relationship with Shi Xiaobai.
At this moment, Chen Lingcun suddenly said, "Alright, sorry for bothering you. I'm actually one of the freshmen that should be participating in the selection. We will chat when we have the opportunity in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Xiao hesitated for a moment before nodding and said, "Alright!"
Although she wanted to understand more about Shi Xiaobai from Chen Lingcun, it was impolite to ask so many questions on their first meeting. It would appear too imprudent.
Xiao Xiao turned around to walk into the resting area.
Chen Lingcun watched her in a deadpan manner, as though he was prepared to leave.
The suited man hurriedly came forward and said, "Since you know Princess Xiao Xiao, you definitely can't be an impostor. Please, go on in."
Chen Lingcun's back faced the suited man as he winked at the silver-haired teenager.
The silver-haired teenager shook his head with a laugh, "How much do you need to owe Shi Xiaobai? Now, you are adding one more to the tab?"
Chen Lingcun shrugged his shoulders and said, "After owing ten million, does it matter if I owe another thousand?"
The silver-haired teenager laughed. What he said made a lot of sense, so he had nothing to offer in response.

On a great expanse of crystalline ground was a row of stone doors. There were nearly no gaps in between the doors. From afar, it looked like a long wall that stretched out for miles.
