In a vast plain that could hold more than ten thousand people, there were golden lines crisscrossing on the ground which formed a profound golden nexus. This was the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower's nexus located in Shanghai. It was also the only entrance and exit from the human world to the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower.
There was no one within the nexus but there was a huge crowd of people outside the nexus that encircled it.
The people were reporters, members of the public, members of the upper echelons of the various organizations and a few famous professional heroes. They were of various identities but they had a common goal—they were waiting for Shi Xiaobai to exit the tower!
Students of this era would be given the choice of facing an examination to enter university or join an organization after their high school graduation. However, regardless of what they chose, in the first year of university or in the organization, they would enter a rookie phase that lasted a year. And before the rookie phase ended, two things had to be completed.
First, at the end of the rookies' first year, they had to enter the 'Psionic Soul Sanctuary' and compete with everyone at the Psionic Mortal Realm from every corner of the world to obtain psionic souls at the perfection of their Psionic Mortal Realm. They would end the long period of foundation laying at the Psionic Mortal Realm and break through to the Psionic Soul Realm. The accumulation of each individual will begin revealing differences in strength. Some would break through to the Psionic Might Realm within a year while there would be others who would never step past the Psionic Soul realm. The differences between geniuses and mere mortals were evident. It was also deemed the 'official beginning of the cruel path of cultivation'.
Second, hero organizations and universities with sufficient credentials would definitely organize a batch of rookies to participate in the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower's trials. The Nine Revolutions Transcendental World was one of the top eight lands of trials in the world, and it was considered the milestone of the Psionic Mortal Realm. Everyone could only enter it once in their lives and their trial results would even be stored. It was considered one of the milestones in their cultivation path. There were even some schools and organizations which would use the results to distinguish the rookies. The treatment given to the rookies after the rookie phase would also begin to deviate from the results.
And during this organization faction selection, the trial of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower had been pushed forward. It was a measure of the thousand elite rookies from the various organizations.
Reaching the third level was a pass.
Reaching the fourth level was considered good.
Reaching the fifth level was deemed excellent.
Reaching the sixth level meant focused fostering of the rookie.
Reaching the seventh level meant all the organizations would vie for the rookie.
As for the eighth level? That was a miracle only three great figures in history had ever accomplished! If anyone could achieve it, they would no longer be as simple as deeming them as a genius or elite but a 'monstrous genius that appears once in three thousand years'.
People were fervent on such topics. Although geniuses at the Psionic Mortal Realm still needed a long time of growth in order to become a Psionic Imperial Realm hero that could benefit society, it did not stop people from anticipating or paying attention to such astounding rookies.
If the eighth level was as such, then what about the ninth level?
Only two words—Historical first!
No matter what it is, once one attained the phrase 'historical first', it would not only be a celebration of that era, but it would even be eulogized by future generations. Furthermore, the 'historical first' was a milestone in the Psionic Mortal Realm.
Whoever could accomplish a 'historical first' was equivalent to attaining a particular limit of the Psionic Mortal Realm. When people discussed the Psionic Mortal Realm, rookies or trials, they would definitely think of and even mention the redoubtable 'historical first'.
Shi Xiaobai was such a 'historical first'.
Be it placing him on a pedestal or a form of veneration, the praises for Shi Xiaobai was already expressed beyond words. News of him had reached every corner of China and even internationally. There were people in the world that began discussing the Chinese boy who had created a 'historical first'.
The people gathered outside the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower nexus were waiting for the boy to exit. They wanted to witness the birth of the 'historical first' and to see with their own eyes the Psionic Mortal Realm rookie that had reached the top of the searching rankings. They wanted to know how awesome he was or if he was grown with three heads and six arms!
He had conquered eight Level Lords!
He had cleared the nine levels of the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower!
It was unprecedented! With no predecessors that could match him!
The commoner fans were discussing fervently as they craned their necks in anticipation. The rookies were squeezed to the front, awaiting the moment to charge forward. The members of the upper echelons were weighing the pros and cons while famous heroes appeared calm on the surface but were eager to take in a disciple!
They were waiting!
It was already dusk. The ailing sun was red like blood and the evening wind was slightly chilly. It was no longer as hot as it was at noon but darkness would soon set in. It was unknown if what they were waiting for would come before the night ended.
As it was unprecedented, no one knew how long Shi Xiaobai would spend on the ninth level. It might not even take an hour or it might take another long ten days. It was inestimable.
People were either engaging in whispers, fervently discussing or closing their eyes for a nap so as to kill time.
A beam of light shot out from the circular disc in the middle of the nexus as it tore through the clouds. It lit up the evening sky and like a pebble in the sky, golden light dispersed in every direction!
"He's out!"
Someone exclaimed!
"Shi Xiaobai is out!"
People could vaguely make out a boy's figure through the golden light. Who else was it but Shi Xiaobai?
The din immediately came to a halt as though it was the calm before a storm.
The dozens of guards that were protecting the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower's nexus drew a gasp simultaneously as their heads broke out in cold sweat. Their bodies began trembling.
"Wah!"
A hubbub suddenly resounded like an explosive thunder!
It was as though the people who had regained their thoughts had seen a naked beauty. They charged toward the figure in the middle of the nexus. The barriers surrounding the nexus were instantly trampled as thousands of people charged like a frenzied horde. The dozens of guards gritted their teeth as their eyes closed. With a loud roar, they hurriedly squatted down while covering their heads.
Mommy! Anyone will die trying to block this stampede!
…
…
Shi Xiaobai had stayed inside the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower for about twenty days. It was an exciting period that could be written into a novel. He had tip-toed about life and death a few times and although he faced tribulations, he had overcome them one after another. The transformation in strength made him completely different from before.
Now, with him returning to the human world, he was dumbfounded from the furor in front of him before he could have wistful thoughts how he had been cut off from the outside world.
If not for the people charging at him looking like ordinary humans, Shi Xiaobai would have believed that he had returned to the array world. There was no other reason—they were as 'crazy' as the monsters that filled the lands!
However, even if they were human, Shi Xiaobai still felt his scalp tingle from seeing so many people rush at him simultaneously.
Shi Xiaobai gulped a mouthful of saliva as his body turned tense. His mind was alert. Although he did not know why all these people had surrounded him and were unsure if they had antagonistic or nefarious intentions, he definitely would not show them mercy if any one of them dared to 'touch' him!
Shi Xiaobai's eyes squinted slightly and prostrated like a beast. He had experienced several life-and-death battles and had encountered the encirclement of a beast horde. He could face any danger in a composed manner!
Shi Xiaobai was ready to act.
The charging group of people crossed the golden nexus and roared in delight as they charged at Shi Xiaobai.
The sounds were deafening and it was extremely chaotic.
Shi Xiaobai did not manage to catch the sounds initially but when they stepped into a range a hundred meters away from him, Shi Xiaobai could vaguely make out the words 'Shi Xiaobai' from their mouths.
Suddenly, Shi Xiaobai's tense nerves were relieved as his expression instantly turned odd.
That was because he finally heard a sharp voice amid the hubbub.
It was a scream from a girl he did not know.
"Ah, ah, ah! Shi Xiaobai, I want to bear your children!"
