Chapter 664: Test
"Prodigy Hall..." Liu Suxin pondered. After a moment, she gave a slight nod. "As one of humanity's most outstanding prodigies, Li Pin is indeed a likely target for King Tianyu's Prodigy Hall. But to make an example of him? If his death were to be linked to Stormwind Tower, it would undoubtedly deal a significant blow to our prestige."
Tai Xi quickly countered, "It's merely a temporary measure. There's been growing dissent within Stormwind Tower recently, hasn't there? We can use Li Pin's persecution by the Prodigy Hall to rally everyone together.
"We can make them understand that if Stormwind Tower doesn't stand up against the Prodigy Hall, any human prodigy who stands out will face dire consequences. This way, we can ignite a shared sense of outrage and unify the forces within Stormwind Tower, turning them into a cohesive front."
"Shared outrage..." Liu Suxin quietly contemplated the scenario Tai Xi described.
This... is indeed a good opportunity. But still... a mere claim of mastering the second level of the Supreme Technique in ten stellar years will not be enough to guarantee success.
Liu Suxin quickly said, "I recall your intelligence mentioned that Li Pin has achieved the third level of the Supreme Technique?"
Tai Xi paused for a moment before quickly grasping her intention. "The third level of the Supreme Technique?"
He hesitated slightly. "Ten years? To reach the third level of the Supreme Technique in ten years is.... Even the fastest Unique Lifeforms, Shen Duxiu, took sixty years. And that was with the foundation of Eternal Solar Flare-level strength... But Li Pin, as far as I know, isn't even an Astral God. Wouldn't it be too far-fetched to claim he has mastered the third level in ten years?"
"It's just a rumor. Some exaggeration is to be expected," Liu Suxin said with a dismissive wave. "Besides, the impact of mastering the third level in ten years is far more striking than achieving the second level. If we want to capture Prodigy Hall's attention and stir up a sense of urgency and unity among human geniuses, it's better for this Hall Master Li to appear as extraordinary as possible."
Tai Xi immediately understood what she meant. "You're right. As long as King Tianyu's attention is diverted, even if he later realizes Li Pin is nothing more than a facade, he will still have wasted a bit of time.
"By then, we'll have secured our funding and prepared our counterattack against Prodigy Hall. Moreover, by that point, everyone will be deeply moved by Li Pin's story, united in their resolve. Prodigy Hall might even be crushed in one decisive blow... And with that victory, Stormwind Tower will undoubtedly rise as the dominant force in the Golden Land."
He finished with a clap of admiration. "Suxin, your insight is truly remarkable. You're as sharp as you are brilliant."
