Chapter 347: The powerful Transcendents

The reason behind Shi Xiaobai having thoughts of eating the Transcendence Holy Tree was not only due to the unfair treatment of humans by the Transcendents that infuriated him, but also because the leaves of the Transcendence Holy Tree emitted a fragrance that made him salivate.

Now, Shi Xiaobai was located in the middle of the city, so he was very close to the holy tree. The fragrance was permeating through the air, constantly invoking his ‘appetite’.

Eating the holy tree could vent his anger as well as satisfy his ‘appetite’, so why not?

However, Shi Xiaobai did not immediately take action.

Back when he passed the holy tree, Shi Xiaobai had taken note of the area. The holy tree did not have many guards, apparently because the Transcendents were not too worried that others would have nefarious thoughts on the holy tree. However, the area around the holy tree had a steady stream of foreign races passing through.

The holy tree was the most famous landmark of Transcendence, so it was very natural for foreigners to take a look, having come to Transcendence.

Therefore, if Shi Xiaobai were to ‘eat’ the holy tree in a view of everyone, he would be committing a crime openly, which would definitely stir everyone in Transcendence.

Shi Xiaobai did not mind causing a scene since he did not plan on obtaining the assessment program’s approval through the Martial Arts Tournament.

However, the other trial-takers belonged to the same human camp as he was. If he were to do something so atrocious, he might implicate them, causing them to lose their eligibility for the tournament. They might even be dealt with as enemies by the Transcendents.

Shi Xiaobai could ignore the rest, but he did not want to harm Sunless.

Therefore, his plan of eating the holy tree could only be done incognito. He had to find an opportunity when there would be fewer tourists so as to hide inside the holy tree’s crown. He could then slowly eat clean the holy tree without anyone knowing.

Now, it was best he met up with Sunless first, so as to fulfill the promise that he made with her on the fifth level.

Go ahead first. Let us meet on the seventh level.

This was what Shi Xiaobai had previously said and he was never one to break his word.

…

…

“Knock, knock…”

Shi Xiaobai gently knocked on the mottled wooden door on the short and aged hut.

“The door isn’t locked. Please enter.”

A voice responded immediately from the inside.

It was a familiar but also unfamiliar male’s voice. Shi Xiaobai had heard it before but it had not left a deep impression on him.

Shi Xiaobai immediately opened the door.

As the wooden door opened, it let out a light creaking sound. The scene inside the narrow house was imprinted in his eyes. It was a house without a single window. There was only a chimney for ventilation, and the sunlight that entered was extremely dim; therefore, the room was lit with candles.
