Chapter 664: Formidable Demon Soldiers
“The sacred Asal city has arrived.”
“Please, everyone board the airships in an orderly manner to disembark from the space warship.”
“Attention...”
“Do not fly on your own! Otherwise, you will be forcibly detained by the city’s patrol guard!”
At this moment.
Under the guidance of the staff on the space warship.
Even the level-100 powerhouses in the luxurious first-class cabins, who are usually domineering and arrogant, had to obediently comply with the laws and regulations here.
There’s no choice…
They are well aware that outside the Sacred Continent, a level-100 fourth-tier powerhouse might be respected and feared by many Professionals. But here in the Sacred Continent, where level-100 individuals are as common as dirt, if you dare to act recklessly, you’ll soon learn the true meaning of cruelty.
Ling Zhan, naturally calm, boarded one of the small magical airships that looked like tiny floating ants compared to the space warship.
It was evident that other level-100 fourth-tier powerhouses were accompanied by humanoid figures transformed from divine beasts.
These were their contracted divine beasts, which were also allowed to enter.
As for the three divine beasts contracted to Ling Zhan, they were naturally allowed to follow, but ever since he gave them the Beast God’s Realm-Breaking Pills, they had entered an exceptionally long retreat.
During the three days of preparation, Ling Zhan had also contacted their parents.
The reply was that it would take at least another year for them to come out of seclusion.
The main reason was that the Beast God’s Realm-Breaking Pill Ling Zhan had provided was a heaven-sent fortune of extraordinary proportions for divine beasts!
Once their three daughters completed their retreat, their levels would be at least 150!
What does this signify?
Meng Zhang, the Azure Dragon, renowned for years and the clan leader of the Azure Dragon tribe, one of the Four Sacred Beasts, is currently level 197.
And the old man nicknamed the ‘Leveling Maniac’ by outsiders is only level 187.
Many believe that this Leveling Maniac has the highest level.
That’s only because the levels of the truly supreme powerhouses have long been out of reach of public knowledge!
Even before Ling Zhan’s ‘Almighty’ skill evolved, the Eye of Appraisal only displayed ‘???’ in the level column when looking at Meng Zhang.
It was known that Meng Zhang was a level-100 powerhouse, but the exact level was a mystery to everyone.
The mothers of Chang Yue and Yun Man, contemporaries of Meng Zhang, both stand at level 185.
One of the world’s Four Supreme Arcane Gods, the Rotten Witch Cathy, is at level 195.
The mysterious headmaster of Tianyan Academy is level 189.
The Battle Academy’s dean, Zhou Hongfu, is level 176.
The Shadow Academy’s dean, Han Qiao, is level 174.
And so on.
These individuals, once lumped together as ‘level-100 powerhouses,’ actually have levels far beyond what many imagined.
As for the three divine beasts contracted to Ling Zhan, consuming just one pill not only awakened their Beast God talents but also boosted their levels to 150.
One can only exclaim: indeed, it’s a divine medicine rewarded by the system!
In reality, this world does have medicines classified as SSS-grade.
However, after Ling Zhan examined the information on these medicines, he found their effects vastly inferior to those of the system-rewarded SSS-grade medicine!
The system-rewarded SSS-grade medicine could defy the heavens and change fate. Even someone like Ling Zhan, a non-specialist who doesn’t gain significant attribute or skill points upon leveling, now gains as much as, if not more than, regular Professionals after consuming the system medicine.
Of course…
This doesn’t mean the local SSS-grade medicines are trash.
It’s just that their effects are not as exaggerated as the system medicine.
After all, the system could even use the blood of the Lord of Ten Thousand Demons as a medicinal primer.
It’s worth mentioning…
The sacred city before Ling Zhan was the most prosperous, expansive, and magnificent fantastical metropolis he had ever seen.
High-tech skyscrapers standing in perfect order.
Flying beast companions soaring across the sky.
Hyper-realistic intelligent robots.
Magical light rails and spatial teleportation arrays.
Adventurers on the ground, clad in armor, wielding weapons or carrying spoils of war, trudging in groups, visibly fatigued, clearly just returning from the wilderness or secret realm expeditions.
Despite their weariness, smiles adorned the faces of these adventurers, indicating fruitful ventures.
Also present were rare mage towers, standing tall and radiant, their presence in the outside world almost unimaginable.
In the Holy City, where level-100 powerhouses are everywhere, establishing a mage tower requires, at the very least, the mage god to personally reach level 170.
In the mage lineage system.
Building a mage tower is equivalent to establishing a sect in a fantasy novel.
Your magical philosophy, research, and proficiency must be convincing.
Only then would magical apprentices willingly enter your mage tower to learn magic.
When these apprentices venture out, they carry the title of being disciples of the mage god.
Thus, each towering mage tower symbolizes a renowned and powerful mage god.
After the passengers from the space warship reached the ground…
They were divided into two groups.
Those below level 100 and those above level 100.
Ling Zhan understood that this was for ‘sect division.’
The Sacred Continent, as the place with the world’s strongest Professional force, naturally has the ‘world’s strongest academies.’
This is not self-proclaimed.
But universally acknowledged!
After all, these are top institutions jointly established by nations across the globe in Asal’s Holy City!
Of course…
Calling them academies.
After reviewing the information, Ling Zhan felt they resembled sects and factions in fantasy novels.
Powerhouses above level 100 advance to higher sects (advanced academies) for further training.
Those below level 100 head to lower sects (elementary academies) for training.
If you want to advance from an elementary academy to an advanced academy, you simply need to defeat a student from the advanced academy to pass the promotion test.
Due to the extreme ferocity and power of the monsters in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, incomparable to dungeon or wilderness monsters…
Nations naturally wouldn’t allow newly arrived Professionals to go straight to the battlefield.
Take Takamagahara’s forbidden land compared to the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons.
The small monsters, ghost slaves, in Takamagahara range from level 40 to 60.
Even an ordinary level-50 Professional could easily handle ten ghost slaves without reckless behavior.
But when it comes to the demon soldiers and demon generals in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, care to give it a try!?
Here, even the weakest demon soldier starts at level 80!
The key point is that its overall combat power rivals two level-90 Professionals!
In terms of defense, vitality, and attack power, they far exceed those of Professionals at the same level by more than tenfold!
Under such circumstances…
Who would dare send newly arrived Professionals to the battlefield?
Would you send them to be slaughtered like vegetables by the demon soldiers and generals?
