Absolute Choice 10

by Pear Lands In The Autumn Spring

  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.

  Chapter467 He objected to everyone's objections

  The upper echelons of the various organizations that made the backbone of the heroes felt their mouths twitching slightly as they stared at the screen. Although this was not the first time many of them had seen the trial's ranking score, they felt like their intelligence was insulted when they saw Wen Hezheng and Kevin in ninth and tenth place respectively. These two rookies from a second-rate organization, who were not even at the tenth level of the Psionic Mortal Realm, made them feel indignant and furious.

  If the evaluation score was not determined by the assessment program, they would have definitely treated the ranking as an underhanded scam by the organization senate. Even though it was determined by the assessment program, they had already begun to suspect if the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower's assessment program had finally malfunctioned or it had become retarded after more than ten thousand years.

  In short, Wen Hezheng and Kevin had managed to enter the top ten. They had even managed to squeeze An Mo and Zhou Chuchu out of the top ten. This matter was truly ridiculous and ludicrous. It was not believable at all.

  After the evaluation scores were announced publicly, the various organizations had sent intelligence officers to do a thorough background check of Wen Hezheng and Kevin. They had realized that not only were they sorely lacking in strength, one of them was a Psionite without any superpower genes. Although the other was an Esper, his cultivation talent was extremely mediocre. He was a greenhorn who lacked any true battle experience but remained extremely arrogant. Furthermore, they both came from Gaia, an organization that had long fallen to the second tier.

  Shi Xiaobai was from Gaia, while Mu Yuesheng was also from Gaia. Now, even the last two spots had been snatched by Gaia.

  A second-rate organization had taken four spots for the collective training?

  Are you going to be defying the heavens?

  The outstanding tree that stood out in the forest would be hit by the winds, let alone a tree that had long rotten?

  China's seven most famous organizations—Zeus, Thor, Poseidon, Chaos, Muses, Darkness, and Templar had collectively penned their objections to this matter.

  It was most evident from the incensed Templar, which did not even obtain a single spot. It declared that if the organization senate were to continue down the path with the insistence that the rule which 'everything shall be determined by the trial score', then Templar would split off from the organization senate.

  This matter had caused quite a stir in China. The organization senate could not withstand the pressure from the masses as well as the seven large organizations collective suppression; therefore, it had held a meeting for that matter.

  There had been five such meetings in the past. Every time, the conclusion was overwhelming. Other than Yama Minamiya, who represented Gaia, voting against it, every upper echelon representative from the other organizations had agreed to modify the rules. Reasonably speaking, changing the rules was not something important. It also did not hurt the organization senate in any way. Instead, it could even relieve the pressure that it was receiving from everywhere. There was no reason for the organization senate to not follow the wishes of the people and abide by the outcome of the meeting.

  However, the white-browed elder, Chairman Jiang of the organization senate was the final decision maker of the meeting. Every time, he would forcefully end the meeting with a simple sentence, 'let's discuss this at a later date'.

  A courtesan from a particular organization that had ascended the ranks from under-the-table methods wanted to scream, "Discuss this at a later date? Why don't you fuck me first and quickly return to the discussion!"

  Unfortunately, Chairman Jiang, who was adamant, would flutter his sleeves, leaving without taking any wisps of the clouds away.

  This smiling and benign old man was a stubborn bull that did not flinch under threat, bribery, enticement or soft tactics. The old man's surname was clearly read as Jiang, but maybe it should be written as Stubborn.

  The organization's upper echelons ground their teeth in hate. Therefore, they had schemed the plan of 'putting him down a
notch or two'. However, it was like a punch hitting the air. Thankfully, the Hero Association had begun exerting pressure on the senate. Chairman Stubborn was likely to come to a compromise.

  The academic faction was ending its selection today. Its spots had long since been decided, and after dragging it out so long, the senate had no excuse to continue dragging it out as the collective training was about to be affected. Today was the last meeting.

  The organizations' upper echelons constantly exchanged glances. They were prepared to force an abdication. No matter how adamant Chairman Stubborn was, he would have to raise his ass and compromise!

  The uniformed beauty scanned the group of upper echelons as a hint of abomination flashed in her eyes. However, she hid it extremely well. With a sigh, she said, "Then, let's begin the meeting."

  Demons dancing in revelry. Oh. No, it was just the bunch of retards beginning their act once again.

  This time, it was unlikely they would be easily fooled, right?

  Indeed, just as she finished her words, a stout man who was about two meters tall stood up immediately. He shouted like a barrage of cannons, "Hmph! I absolutely will not agree to let those two punks represent the organization faction to participate in the collective training. Without strength, they will only be disgracing the organization faction! I can't be disgraced like that!"

  The stout man was dressed in metallic armor. A humongous ax was slung behind his back and his exposed arm muscles bulged out like rocks. He had a stubble on his face that was marked with perfectly round eyes. The moment he opened his mouth, it was like he wanted to enter a brawl with others. His choice of words was vulgar and boorish.

  He was Zhang Meng from the organization, Thor. People called him 'Brute Ax Boor'. He was extremely powerful and was one of the few A-class heroes in China. He was also the only participating senator without much intellect. He was a brute that only spoke with his fists. However, such a 'talent' could be the decisive trump card in particular situations.

  Of course, most of the time, he would cause more harm than good.

  Hence, Zhang Meng could make the leading charge, but he could not be the leader or the situation would collapse in less than three minutes. The middle-aged woman who led the Zeus delegation quickly realized this point. She interrupted in a timely fashion, "Brother Zhang Meng is extremely right. The strong reign supreme and the capable are esteemed. Wen Hezheng and Kevin are too weak.”

  “Half a month ago, our organization, Zeus, had happened to have a battle exchange with Gaia. Back then, Wen Hezheng and Kevin had represented Gaia in battle. The outcome was them being defeated in one strike by Zhu Yuanyuan and Huang Peng respectively. The outcomes of both matches were determined in less than ten seconds combined.”

  “Although Zhu Yuanyuan and Huang Peng are considered rookie elites of our organization, they are far inferior to the Ye family siblings. Heartless Ye, who unluckily met Shi Xiaobai in the fourth level, had been eliminated early but he could defeat the combined efforts of Zhu Yuanyuan and Huang Peng alone.”

  “Question yourself.”

  “If Wen Hezheng and Kevin, who could easily be 'one-shot' by Zhu Yuanyuan and Huang Peng, managed to 'luckily' represent the organization faction in the selection, what sort of blow would it deal to Heartless Ye, who is many times stronger?"

  The middle-aged woman spoke with greater aplomb as her expression turned to indignation. She said loudly, "I find it unfair for Heartless Ye! I find it unfair that rookies who had cultivated desperately with their lives were tragically eliminated because of a lack of luck! Based on what? What merits do these two 'trash' have to represent them in the collective training? What right did these two 'trash' have to snatch spots that belonged to others?”

  “Everyone, put yourself in their shoes. If you were Heartless Ye, An Mo, or Zhou Chuchu, would you be fine seeing 'trash' you can finish with a single hand represent you to fight the academic faction's rookies? They would be hearing words like, 'even trash can participate in the collective training, but you were actually eliminated?'. How can they not be enraged by that? Do we have to wait till Wen Hezheng and Kevin disgrace themselves completely during the collective training, and in extension, all the rookie's dignity, the organization faction, and the senate's dignity before it's too late for regret?

  The middle-aged woman's voice sounded agitated, but her emotional and logical appeal in her speech was filled with constant rhetorical questions. It made everyone feel personally affected, as it resonated with them.

  This was not only the middle-aged woman's excuse, but the thoughts of the various large organizations. It had even become the voice of the Chinese.

  Various organization representatives sitting below had visible changes in expression as they began to echo her with agitated comments.

  "Wen Hezheng and Kevin cannot attune the masses! I firmly object to it!"

  "Heartless Ye, An Mo, and Zhou Chuchu, which one of them is weaker than Wen Hezheng and Kevin? Isn't a selection meant to select the ones that are stronger, talents that are qualified to be representatives?"

  "The rule of letting everything be determined by the trial score is problematic in itself. Who can be sure that the assessment program would not be faulty?"

  "Change the rules! The rules need to be changed!"

  "We can't let children with true strength suffer such grievance! Hero organizations have always placed fairness in the forefront. This matter is too unfair!"

  The crowd broke into an uproar as they unanimously shared the same thoughts.

  Changing the rules was an outcome 'everyone' wished for.

  Zhang Meng roared with his head lifted up, "If the rules are not changed, I'm the first person to find it unacceptable! Change the rules. The rules have to be changed today. I want to see who the fuck dares to object to it!"

  The meeting had just begun, but the mood had reached a climax.

  This time, everyone had torn off their insincere masks of having 'amiable discussion'. They had chosen to use the most direct and brutal method!

  No one could object to their objection!

  No one!

  "I object!"

  Yama Minamiya stood up with a deadpan expression. He was similarly in the meeting room with agitated feelings. Situated in the middle of everyone, he looked lonely but he also possessed a proud sense of loneliness.

  He objected to everyone's objection.

  Chapter468 Dispute

  "I object!"

  Yama Minamiya stood up with a loud shout. He looked at the middle-aged woman with tightly puckered lips. His expression was stern and fuming anger was hidden within his glaring eyes.

  The seated upper echelons of the various organizations immediately cast cold gazes of animosity at him. The middle-aged woman narrowed her eyes as viciousness flashed in her eyes. Zhang Meng was the most direct. With an angry stare, he slammed the table and produced a deafening 'bang'. It caused the meeting desk to tremble.

  "A trash like you is objecting again!"

  The boor, Zhang Meng, was not a person who followed etiquette. He only believed that Yama Minamiya was a person who clung on obstinately to his demands. He yearned to throw a powerful punch at him.

  If not for Yama Minamiya's only objecting vote in the previous meetings which caused the meeting to end unceremoniously, there was no reason for Chairman Jiang to drag the matter this far.

  The seven major organizations had protested in unison, while most first-rate and second-rate organizations had expressed their objections. The media and public had overwhelmingly leaned toward a side. Changing the rules of the selection should have been taken for granted.

  Yama Minamiya was only a Division Minister from a second-rate organization. His hero license was only C-class. His strength had only barely entered the Psionic Might Realm. What right did he have to object to everyone's objections?

  If this were any ordinary period, Zhang
Meng would have smashed Yama Minamiya flat. However, in the meeting, all they could rely on was the bite of their tongues. It was a competition of eloquence. Strangely, Yama Minamiya was an odd person. He was impervious to hard and soft tactics. He did not succumb to a show of force, so it made Zhang Meng, who was accustomed to speaking with his fist, to fail miserably.

  However, this was already the final meeting. Everyone had decided on losing all decorum. They no longer cared about Chairman Jiang, so Zhang Meng was obviously unfazed.
