My Weekly Refreshing Mentor Spirit-Chapter 317 - 296: Rising to Power! (Double-Length 6K Words)

In the subsequent exchange, Xue Dili learned. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

The Apostle with the code name Number 9 was ambushed by the Interstellar Corps upon first arriving near the Super Iron Curtain, though he managed to escape and hide within the Super Iron Curtain. However, what awaited him next was that world’s almost reflexive-like frenzied assault.

Volcanoes erupted all over the world, the earth twisted, and all the seawater transformed into towering water Giants hundreds of thousands of meters high, relentlessly attacking him, showing no consideration for the countless creatures living in the ocean. That world seemed hell-bent on exterminating him.

The world’s civilization itself was thrown into chaos by the sudden reflexive violence. The sea was drained and condensed into fearsome water Giants, and he understood why other Apostles wanted someone to explore this world.

As for him... he managed to feign death and slip away...

"The rent, one fruit." Number 6, who seemed to be a very languid woman, said calmly.

Xue Dili looked over, also realizing that the Shabu Insect Race was a Clan deliberately cultivated by an Apostle, with every member being Quasi-5th Tier cosmic calamity-like monsters. This was just a subordinate group under a certain Apostle within the Parliament.

It’s even possible that Number 6’s true form might be the Insect King of the Shabu Insect Race; she just maintained a human form within the Parliament.

"Agreed! You must ensure that the War Soldiers I rent are of the highest tier at that time," Number 9 readily agreed.

Through continued observation, Xue Dili discovered what "War Soldiers" were—gigantic insects covering the sky. While Xue Dili didn’t know their precise height from the projections within the Mist Council, the insects’ antennae pierced through the clouds in those projections.

Like a fusion of an elephant beetle and a spider, each step by these insects causes the earth to tremble. Even though separated by mist, Xue Dili could roughly estimate the War Soldiers’ power.

Top-tier monsters of Tier Five, nearing the status of Quasi-6th Tier beings...

And such monsters are merely tradable goods to them.

As for the Divine Tree, perhaps its combat abilities are just an add-on; what they truly seek is the Divine Tree’s ability to absorb Spirituality. Its fruits allow them to truly step into "Tier Six," the legendary level of the Venerable King.

Now he understood their aim: a group genuinely doing everything possible to reach Tier Six. Compared to them, Xue Dili, a "fresh Tier Five," is truly worlds apart.

From their perspective, a newcomer like Xue Dili would need at least millennia to possess a dialogue capability equal to theirs.

However, there’s at least some good news. Even those who entered the Parliament earliest have yet to reach the despair-inducing Tier Six.

The only person possibly near Tier Six...

Xue Dili saw the one sitting at the head, shrouded entirely in mist, always in the most mysterious state, as if they were the founder of the Mist Council. They might truly be Tier Six.

A being capable of defeating World Consciousness even on its home turf, perhaps comparable to the legendary Venerable King.

Yet, they seem unconcerned with anyone in the Parliament, except for briefly introducing the organization’s purpose when Xue Dili entered; they haven’t made any other moves since.

Meanwhile, as Number 9 seemed to have acquired sufficient forces, the Parliament resumed casual chatter.

But within that, Xue Dili heard a piece of intelligence that might interest him.

"Number 4, I heard your Heart Stealer base was destroyed?"

Xue Dili immediately noticed over there a female also wrapped in mist, towering over three meters tall.

"Just a minor issue," Number 4 responded nonchalantly.

Then she provided no further information, and even now Xue Dili couldn’t distinguish which one used to be the boss of the Dragon Race. For now, he could only deduce that Number 4 bred the Heart Stealers, while Number 6 nurtured the Shabu Insect Race.

As for the other members, he still knew nothing of their intel.

It seemed here everyone protected their own information to the utmost.

As time passed, this exchange was about to end.

Yet, as Xue Dili stepped forward, facing everyone, this disguised "13th Apostle" stated, "I have a proposal, please lend me your ears."

Those preparing to adjourn immediately showed interest; to be honest, they were intrigued by Xue Dili as well, but different from others, Xue Dili protected his information well, so far only revealing that he’s a newcomer who lucked into cultivating fruits; everything else remains unknown.

"Everyone, I believe that even at Apostle Level, the current classifications are too generic. Personally, I think even among Apostles, there should be different hierarchical titles representing distinct power differences." Xue Dili proposed his insight.

...

Perhaps due to Xue Dili’s strange charisma, his speech was temporarily adopted by other Apostles, introducing the concept of upper and lower ranks within the Apostle Level, offering clearer goals and promotion paths.
