Dr. Liviah spoke at the same time as Jarvis, "I second this proposal with both hands. The Eight Kings were originally there to restrain those cultivators. We've just had our morale dampened, and we can use this selection to boost it!"
This old fox was secretly puzzled. After chatting with that newcomer, Long Xiaotian, yesterday, the man was certain that what happened today would occur. He had a hunch that the man seemed to know more about the mysterious disappearance of the Four Kings in the desert than all of them.
His eyes flickered slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.
"This kid is more informed than we are. There's only one possibility: this kid might have witnessed, or even participated in, that unknown battle."
Thinking this, Liviah's face grew even paler.
Fortunately, everyone present was lost in deep thought and didn't notice his strange expression.
"Old Doctor is right, this method seems feasible."
Another very young doctor, named Rossis, with a more unconventional mind, immediately extended his hands in agreement.
"So, have the opinions of the three doctors been unanimous?" Allen's voice was as calm as still water.
"Yes, the three of us agree. The purpose of this meeting is actually to hear your opinions."
Jarvis got straight to the point, seemingly unwilling to waste time here. To him, dealing with strings of numbers and formulas was far more interesting than facing these three men radiating killing intent.
"The Four Kings are merely missing, with no news of their demise. Aren't you acting too hastily by making this decision now?" Vetus's gaze was sharp. "If I were also on the missing list, would you also find a new king to replace me?"
Jarvis nodded and said emotionlessly, "That's right. To put it more bluntly, even if Allen went missing, we would still make this decision."
"You!"
Jello sprang up from his seat like a fierce tiger, his savage aura pressing down like Mount Tai. Fortunately, Allen casually reached out and neutralized the violent aura.
"Old third, calm down. This matter is of great importance. I can understand the doctors having this idea. However, does Dr. William have any opinions?"
"We've contacted Dr. William, and he said this matter can be decided by us."
Jarvis handed Dr. William's recording to the Three Kings.
"No need. Since Dr. William trusts you, you can decide." Allen firmly held Jello down in his seat. "However, the conditions for the selection must follow the regulations. We can only choose acquired ability users."
The moment he finished speaking, Liviah's expression changed. He had to take a risk and said, "That's not appropriate. As the three of you know, among acquired ability users, the强者 who can be born are, first, less stable than innate ability users. Second, besides the Eight Kings, there are very few whose strength can truly be compared to the previous Eight Kings. Selecting from them would inadvertently allow some mediocre individuals to take advantage."
As soon as he said this, Jello erupted and roared, "What do you mean? As if you're saying we are inferior to innate ability users!"
"Jello! If you continue to speak so unreasonably, beware of my fists."
Allen clenched his fist, his hawk-like eyes sharp as knives. Jello felt his heart jolt violently, his blood surge, and he immediately restrained himself considerably.
Allen retracted his fist with satisfaction, his aura contained, and said, "Dr. Liviah, can you guarantee the loyalty of the innate ability users?"
Liviah, that old fox, would never risk saying 'yes.' Instead, he smiled and said, "With the three of you in charge, aren't you afraid the new king will cause trouble?"
Liviah played this hand of advancing by retreating with great subtlety.
At this moment, seeing that Liviah also said so, Vetus was willing to offer his help for Yafiel's sake. "That's right. With the three of us here, the new king will not be able to cause trouble."
However, as soon as these words were spoken, Vetus felt he had fallen into the old guy's trap, but couldn't pinpoint how.
Jello clenched his fists, his eyes flashing fiercely, and had also fallen into Dr. Liviah's trap.
"Dr. Liviah, you've played your cards well. You've angered the second and third brothers." Allen, as the leader of the Eight Kings, was first-class in both temperament and strength. He could see through this maneuver, couldn't he?
"Actually, I also agree with Dr. Liviah's opinion. After all, innate ability users have natural advantages. We are also willing to get closer to them and obtain more data," Jarvis stated.
Rossis chuckled, "Yes, yes, yes. The data from innate ability users is very interesting. And I also want to know, to what extent can innate ability users grow if they receive good resources!"
His expression grew more excited, as if he couldn't wait to devour the innate ability users alive.
"Since that's the case, let's go with the doctors' decision. However, during the selection process, we must send capable subordinates to supervise. Is that alright?"
Allen remained as steady as water.
Jarvis stood up and said, "Yes, if that's the case, then let's announce it immediately. It's better to act sooner rather than later."
...
The moment Ren Yuanhao lifted the tent flap, he saw the ability users outside in an uproar.
"What's going on?" Ren Yuanhao was bewildered when he saw Yafiel walking towards him.
"Xiaotian? I finally found you. Your chance has arrived!"
Ren Yuanhao naturally knew what Yafiel meant and didn't show any excitement.
"What? You look so calm. Aren't you afraid the A-grade hidden monsters will eliminate you?"
Ren Yuanhao looked at her golden hair and her face, like a Barbie doll. An extremely strong sense of guilt surged in his heart.
His promise to marry her was just a pretense. It was possibly the most scummy lie he had ever told in his life.
"Hey, Xiaotian, I know you don't really want to marry me, right?"
The moment Yafiel said this, Ren Yuanhao's face turned ashen.
"Why? Where did you figure that out?"
"Your eyes."
"My eyes?"
Ren Yuanhao rubbed his eyes in disbelief, deliberately joking to ease the atmosphere. "Can you still tell now?"
"Stop joking. I thought about it all night. Your background, your actions, and your predictions all point to one thing."
Ren Yuanhao suddenly felt a little scared, and his gaze flickered imperceptibly for a moment.
"What thing?"
"Your purpose here is definitely not to prove yourself, but to subvert everything, isn't it?"
Ren Yuanhao immediately reached out and covered Yafiel's mouth.
"Shh~ You can't say things like that."
Yafiel's expression changed slightly, and Ren Yuanhao then released his hand.
