The room was somewhat quiet.
Everyone was stunned by Xia Lei's thoughts.
Nine-star, this level felt a bit distant and even ethereal for many people.
Even when the core members became eight-star evolvers, due to the difficulties in hunting ninth-level life forms, they did not feel it was possible to acquire enough ninth-level magic crystals to exchange for the nine-star evolution potion in a short period of time.
Privately, everyone believed that gathering enough magic crystals to exchange for the nine-star evolution potion would take about two years, even if their boss intervened. With a stroke of luck, perhaps it could be done in a year.
But now, hearing such words from Xia Lei, it was clear that this heroic woman had no intention of waiting an entire year.
This was something everyone was eager to see, but to achieve it was quite difficult, right?
Or perhaps the Yama Tree had continuously delivered two ninth-level life forms' corpses, giving Xia Lei this kind of confidence? But that guy was not very reliable, after all.
To quickly become a nine-star evolver, one naturally needed to hunt more ninth-level life forms quickly. Although the number of ninth-level life forms was currently on the rise, killing them was extremely challenging. Even if Cloud Summit launched a full-scale assault, being able to take down one in a month would be considered impressive.
After all, ninth-level life forms had their own territories, and the journey from one territory to another was not short. Along with various preparations, that timeframe was already quite limited and had made other factions envious.
Xia Lei smiled and said, "I'm not bragging when I say this; it's the result of rational analysis. It might sound a bit crazy, but it's absolutely feasible."
After finishing, without waiting for others to ponder or judge, she directly stated, "Second, internal reasons."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere here suddenly became much more tense.
Internal issues... those few words were a little frightening.
"Perhaps Cloud Summit's strength has raised many people's confidence to a dangerous level, or perhaps the ease of obtaining various equipment has made everyone carry far more magic crystals than other factions' evolvers. Or maybe it is our protection of each warrior that has led them to believe that danger is receding."
Xia Lei stood up, her gaze sweeping over everyone in the room. Very few could meet her eyes, indicating her imposing presence.
Everyone knew that Ye Zhongming was actually very good to his subordinates. No matter how many people he killed outside or how 'cruel' his orders were, he treated those loyal to him and Cloud Summit more like a friend.
But Xia Lei was different.
She smiled more than Ye Zhongming and seemed to have warmer relationships with others, but everyone knew that her willingness to smile and be gentle was only because they had not provoked her or violated the interests of Ye Zhongming and Cloud Summit. Otherwise, she would still smile, but it would be while she stabbed a knife into your heart.
The avoidance of issues was primarily focused externally because there was someone like Xia Lei, who was willing to do the dirty work and could handle it well, on the internal front.
When the organization was streamlined initially, they did not oppose it, though many were somewhat reluctant, and some even expressed their dissatisfaction through inaction.
But they had never heard of any internal reasons that could cause Xia Lei to act this way; otherwise, they wouldn't dare not cooperate.
Everyone was tense, but that didn't mean they were afraid. They were just curious; Cloud Summit had always been very united. They were not just close comrades but brothers who would give their lives for each other, even competition was filled with passion and warmth.
What kind of problems could such a team have internally?
"First, lack of ambition." Xia Lei's expression was serious as she talked about these issues.
"Having confidence is good, and maintaining Cloud Summit's unique pride is also good. But many people have lost their drive in this confidence and pride. They are not afraid of battles but are negligent in them. They enjoy the equipment and scrolls distributed by Cloud Summit but have lost the motivation to create value for it! Just look at the number of people lining up at the training platform; I think you should understand."
