Chapter 653: 468. The Power of Light Rank, Adventurer Rankings!
“The Phoenix Tail Flower that disappeared for seven days has finally shown up?”
“Huh… Lin Da bought a notice for the 20th floor of the Great Mystery Continent, it seems that he is preparing to go!”
The calm Central Street, like a boiling lake surface, stirred up a wave of heated discussions.
After strolling through the business district, Lin Da and his companions returned to the villa in the afternoon.
In the kitchen, Lulu and Tasya were busy with their aprons on, while Anna and Monica looked through a summer fashion magazine together, occasionally uttering praises like “This piece is great.”
Kafni lay like a salted fish under the Cooling Magic Array, flipping up his sweat-soaked clothes without minding the vast expanse of pale skin exposed, using his hand as a makeshift fan to fan himself.
In contrast, Lin Da was oblivious to the room full of beautiful girls.
He sat on the sofa, intently flipping through a newspaper he just bought.
The most striking news was the opening of the 20th floor of the Great Mystery Continent.
“This time’s blessing, the Mist Realm, has a moderation in several severe climates.
Under the thick fog weather created by Divine Power, an adventurer’s visibility and perception are minimized, making it difficult to dodge enemies.
But for the Phoenix Tail Flower Team with the thief profession like Kafni, even if they are affected by the fog, their perceptual distance is much higher than that of ordinary adventurers.
What seems to be a disadvantage is actually advantageous for the Phoenix Tail Flower, like fish in water.”
Thinking of this, Lin Da’s furrowed brows slightly relaxed.
It was the first time entering the 20th floor and, as the team captain, the pressure was immense as he worried about each member. Especially the unreliable Kafni and the fragile Monica…
Sometimes, in his dreams, he saw them tied by the tendrils of a Man-eating Flower in the sky, their clothes tattered as he struggled to save them.
And the weather of the “Mist Realm” indeed increased the safety of the Phoenix Tail Flower.
After lunch in the afternoon, everyone dutifully practiced their Skills.
As the outside sky gradually darkened, Lin Da’s wrists felt numb from sword training, and seeing that his teammates were also dripping with sweat, he decided to end today’s training.
At that moment, a crisp doorbell rang from downstairs.
While thinking, Lin Da went downstairs to open the door.
Standing at the door was a woman dressed in tight leather clothes and shiny boots, her purple hair striking.
Her brown skin was like hazelnut chocolate, emitting a sweet and savory aroma, her lips coated with bright red lipstick, and her enchanting eyes narrowed into slits that seemed to smile, but felt more like a poisonous snake sizing up its prey.
Noticing the leather whip at the woman’s waist, Lin Da shivered and raised his guard slightly.
“Instructor McCarthy, I already clearly refused your proposal last time.”
Lin Da stated bluntly.
Indeed, being under the powerfully supportive Coldmoon Duke was tempting, but the price was pledging allegiance to him, which he could not accept under any circumstances.
“I bring you good news.”
McCarthy stretched lazily, her body curves accentuated under the light, resembling a water snake, “Flying here from the Royal Capital really wore me out; won’t you give your instructor a shoulder massage?”
During this talk, the purple-haired woman took a light step forward.
Lin Da could only smell a thick wave of fragrance rushing into his nostrils, a stimulating scent somewhat akin to burying one’s head in a sweaty chest of the opposite sex.
Fortunately, Lin Da was also seasoned in battles and did not lose his concentration; he focused all his attention on her movements.
However, Lin Da was momentarily distracted, and McCarthy, like an invisible person, seemed to “pass through” him, clearly blocking the door yet entering the living room and casually sitting down on the sofa to grab a piece of fruit and toss it into her mouth.
“When did you come in?”
Lin Da’s eyelids twitched.
She circumvented him with an incredible speed and entered the living room!
He was completely unaware.
To the naked eye, it looked as if McCarthy was an incorporeal transparent person, passing through his body.
“Light Rank, too dangerous.”
Lin Da felt a chill inside. It was good that McCarthy had no malicious intent; if the Demons were to send a Light Rank assassin after him, he wouldn’t even have the chance to use his Experience Card.
He realized deeply that he must never expose his identity of the “Dark Shadow.” Secondly, he needed to advance to Light Rank as soon as possible. New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on novel※fire.net
To ordinary people, Moon Rank was a great height, but in the vast stage of Cangqing Province, it was merely a chubby kitty.
In Lin Da’s mind, information about the abilities of Light Rank adventurers flashed. Besides faster Light Wings and the Hand of the Void formed by Magic Power, the major feature of this rank was mastering a technique known as Radiant Technique, a skill whose power fell between Rare Technique and Ultimate Skill.
The power of the Radiant Technique was weaker than that of the Ultimate Skill, but it was faster to execute, and in the face of absolute speed, Moon Rank hardly had any means to resist.
“Before advancing to Light Rank, keep away from this group as much as possible! Even with an Experience Card as a trump card, situations may arise where it would be too late to use.”
Lin Da thought to himself.
Hearing the commotion, his teammates all rushed over.
Seeing McCarthy sitting on the sofa, casually eating fruit, everyone’s faces looked grim.
Lin Da too had no fond feelings for McCarthy and symbolically offered a glass of plain water, frowning: “What’s this good news you mentioned just now?”
McCarthy pulled out a cobalt blue leather parchment from her bag, slapped it in her hand with a somewhat proud smile, “Your instructor has a kind heart, unable to bear hiding good seedlings, specially convinced the Cold Moon Duke to change his mind, and prepared a new pact for you.
This one is named ‘Cold Moon Pact’.
Sign it, and you will receive a Ten Star Adventurer rating, be fully nurtured by the Ice Abyss, and upon successful graduation, you will have a chance to become a reserve member of the Cold Moon Duke’s Adventurer Group.
