There were many who were meditating. Of course, there were also some people who preferred to watch the fun and they started chatting with each other. After all, no matter how much they wanted to practice, they could not just sit there 24 hours a day, right? Hence, when Hong Dali appeared, those waiting at the entrance of the cave all turned to look.
“Look, it’s a Black and White-level! We don’t encounter someone like that often!”
“Yeah, yeah, Black and White-level. There aren’t more than a few in every galaxy, right? But he looks so young, is he really Black and White-level?”
“There are Stellar Aristocrats with him. It shouldn’t be fake. However, he looks quite young.”
“All the people with him are Black-levels, more than twenty, I think? What the hell is going on? Where did so many Black-levels come from?”
“Who knows, it’s hard to say. Speaking of which, a Black and White-level just went in and now another one is here? What day is it today?”
By now, Hong Dali and the others had already reached the entrance of the cave. Hong Dali could not be bothered with their idle chatter. Nothing was more important than seeing Sister Green Phoenix.
But the problem was that there were too many people here to see the Green Phoenix, so they had to wait in line…
“Miss, are you here to see the Respected One?” A young man wearing the silver trench coat of a Stellar Aristocrat sized Jiang Qianxue up, then said in a cold voice, “The Respected One is currently meeting with Xiao Shengzhe, a Black and White-level Honorary Aristocrat from our Spiral Galaxy. Please wait if you want to see the Respected One, thank you.”
It was not a problem, actually. He was just asking them to queue up. However, from his words, Jiang Qianxue heard something else.
This person was a Stellar Aristocrat. A Stellar Aristocrat was the same level as Jiang Qianxue’s Galaxy Aristocrat.
Someone like that was guarding the door for a Black and White-level. From that, it was obvious how powerful that Black and White-level was.
“Is the Black and White-level inside a genius who completed Level 30 of the Tower of Trials?” Jiang Qianxue asked carefully. After all, it would be impossible to have a Stellar Aristocrat guarding the door unless it was such a genius.
“Hehe, it’s more than that.” The Stellar Aristocrat’s face was full of pride. He threw a disdainful look at Hong Dali and proudly said, “Xiao Shengzhe is the number one genius from our Spiral Galaxy in the last two thousand years. He completed Level 30 of the Tower of Trials in 3 days! After we used resources from our entire galaxy to help strengthen him further, he is much stronger than before. Not anyone can be compared to him.”
If a genius like that appeared in your galaxy, it was indeed something to be proud of.
But what you should not have done was to get Hong Dali involved. That was troublesome…
“Oh, that’s pretty powerful.” Jiang Qianxue only uttered a quiet “oh” and did not show any other signs of surprise.
This was not her fault. Whoever spent an extended period of time with a monster like Hong Dali would have an expression like this. There was no helping it. Hong Dali completed the Tower of Trials in one attempt, but this Xiao Shengzhe took three days. The difference was indeed a little too much.
So, everyone who was with Hong Dali grinned as they glanced at Hong Dali. Hong Dali touched his nose and said, “That’s pretty powerful…”
“Why, you don’t believe me?” The Stellar Aristocrat was unhappy to see the expression this crowd had. He looked at Hong Dali. “I have been here for such a long time, and it’s the first time I have encountered someone like you who does not take our Xiao Shengzhe seriously. You are also Black and White-level. How many levels of the Tower of Trials have you completed? 27? 28?”
“Me?” Hong Dali pointed to his own nose. “I think I passed Level 30 too. I’m here to see Sister Green Phoenix today. Hehe, but it seems I need to be in line—right brother, how long do I have to queue?”
The latter words were completely ignored by the Stellar Aristocrat. He sized Hong Dali up and suddenly burst out laughing. “Hahahaha, you also completed Level 30? Don’t joke, how old are you? You look like you are not even twenty yet, right? You say that you completed Level 30 of the Tower of Trials at this age? Do you think I am as easily deceived as a three-year-old?”
As soon as he said this, all the people who were watching them from afar covered their mouths and laughed—
“Hahaha, he said he also passed Level 30 of the Tower of Trials. This is too funny!”
“Right, he is only eighteen- or nineteen-years-old? All those who have passed Level 30 of the Tower of Trials are in their thirties. Eighteen- or nineteen-years-old. Even if he started practicing from the time he was in his mother’s womb, how much time could he have been training?”
Hong Dali was really telling the truth, but the problem was that he was really too young.
This was like a ten-year-old kid coming to tell you that he understood the law of relativity. No matter who it was, they would think that the kid was lying, right?
But the problem was that Hong Dali really did complete Level 30 of the Tower of Trials, so he rubbed his nose and said, “Is it very funny?”
“Not funny, not funny at all.” The Stellar Aristocrat frowned and asked sternly, “So, this little brother, how long did it take you to pass Level 30? One month or two months?”
This question was even easier to answer. Hong Dali raised a finger. “One day, the day the Tower of Trials opened…”
Everyone was quiet immediately.
Once she felt the atmosphere, Jiang Qianxue knew that what came after was inevitable…
Sure enough, after a short silence, everyone burst into laughter!
“Hahahaha, he said one day! And on the day the Tower of Trials opened! 30 levels in a row in just one day, this is just too funny!”
“Is he playing us for fools? On the first day of the Tower of Trials opened, passing 30 Levels consecutively, eighteen- or nineteen-years-old, hahaha!”
“It’s not so easy to brag. You have to at least consider our IQ, right?”
Everyone who was waiting outside laughed loudly. Even the Black-level Honorary Aristocrats who were sitting there meditating with their eyes closed could not help but let out a chuckle before turning to look at Hong Dali.
Eighteen- or nineteen-years-old, 30 levels on the first day…
The Stellar Aristocrat smiled at Hong Dali and continued to ask, “Aiya, passing 30 levels in one day is indeed amazing. Kid, how many times did you die while trying to get past those 30 Levels? At least ten? Did it hurt?”
He was now simply treating Hong Dali as a child who liked to brag…
Jiang Qianxue simply stared expressionless at the proceedings. She knew that there was no need to try and explain anything regarding Hong Dali. Anyway, everything was true and the truth was afraid of nothing, so there was no need to worry.
Hong Dali’s expression was innocent and open. He looked at the Stellar Aristocrat and said, “I remember I did not die. I passed everything in one go.”
This time everyone was quiet for three full minutes, and then uproarious laughter sounded—
“Wahahaha! This little kid is bragging without blushing. Hahaha, 30 levels in one attempt!”
“That’s right, 30 levels at one go, and on the day the Tower of Trials opened. This fellow is doing the impossible, hahaha!”
“Aiya, there seem to be more weird happenings than usual this year. This is really an eye-opener today, hahahaha!”
Everyone almost fell over laughing, because in their thoughts, if Hong Dali was bragging to try and gain some recognition, it was fine. Anyway, no one could actually ask the Green Phoenix how many levels Hong Dali had passed, right?
He might be a little young. If he said he passed Level 30, it was still credible. After all, he was a Black and White-level and without some serious skills, he could not have become a Black and White-level. However, he should have made up something that was believable, right? If he said that he took two months and died maybe ten thousand or twenty thousand times before he finally passed Level 30, everyone might still respect him for that. Being able to lie credibly was a skill too!
But what was this? Getting caught by his own lie?
Eighteen- or nineteen-years-old and passed all 30 Levels of the Tower of Trials on the day it opened without dying even once…
Who was he fooling? Was everyone a fool?
“Young man.” The Stellar Aristocrat felt this was the greatest test of his intelligence ever. He stared at Hong Dali intently and sneered. “Bragging is a skill, you don’t do it like that! You have to at least take into consideration the IQ of all of us present, right? Do you think there is anyone in the more than one hundred people present who believes what you have just said?”
Once he said this, the hundred over people waiting around the entrance of the cave nodded in unison.
Everyone expressed disbelief.
“Humph, believe it or not, it’s up to you.” Tang Muxin supported without hesitation. “It’s enough as long as we believe it, right, Dali!”
The lackeys all nodded together. Jiang Qianxue smiled and looking at the Stellar Aristocrat, said, “I guess you won’t believe us no matter what we say. There’s no point in saying more.”
When he saw the expressions on the faces of Jiang Qianxue and the others, the Stellar Aristocrat and the others were stunned.
Speaking of which, this young man must be really good. He actually managed to hoodwink everyone? Well, it was impossible. He must have said that to save face.
In the Dimu Star Sector, there were more than 2,000 galaxies. Usually, the galaxies were in competition with each other. Who would not want to bring glory to their galaxy?
This was such a good opportunity to shoot them down. If he did not grasp it, he might as well just die!
“Haha, it seems that you are really united.” The Stellar Aristocrat laughed and said, “How about this, if what he said is false, I don’t need you to do much. Just apologize to everyone here and admit that you are wrong. You should not have lied, you’re young and don’t know better. Then, pay each person 10 million Dimu Dollars to soothe our deceived souls, how about it?!”
“Okay,” Hong Dali nodded, and then rubbed his nose. “What if I win?”
“You win? Hahaha, okay.” The Stellar Aristocrat clearly thought he was sure to win and said loudly, “If what you say is true, I will give up my status as an Aristocrat. I will kowtow to you, apologize, and give you one billion Dimu Dollars. How about that?”
