In a tavern in the Fire City of the Magic Empire, a group of mercenaries were chatting together. One of the burly men said:
"The new combat power rankings are out, and Wood's name is really on it."
Another said:
"Yeah! I didn't expect it to be ranked 50th. It seems that the new manager of the Chamber of Commerce of God wants to kill the genius Wood!"
Someone said:
"Hey! What a pity! But didn't you realize that Wood suddenly occupied the 50th place in the ranking, but no one ranked in this ranking?"
"Yes!" Everyone expressed their differences.
It stands to reason that the various rankings of the Chamber of Commerce of God will not be arranged arbitrarily. The people on those combat power rankings are well-known strong men in the Divine Grace Continent. They have occupied this ranking for some time. This time
The annual ranking has never changed, but this time Wood's name was suddenly added, and the order of the ranking was not disrupted, and no one fell off the ranking, which was very surprising.
Just when everyone was confused, the person sitting at another table said coldly:
"Don't just look at the rankings at the back, but look at the changes at the front!"
After this person's prompt, the mercenaries in the tavern opened the rankings in their hands. When they turned to page 11, everyone was surprised.
And the mysterious man who reminded the mercenaries said:
"Are you surprised? Why is Austin Carlo, the pinnacle mage of the Ice and Snow Empire, not on the list?"
Everyone looked at the mysterious man who spoke curiously, and the tavern owner quickly handed over a glass of wine, and then asked with a compliment:
"Do you know anything?"
The mysterious man smiled with his white teeth and said:
"Because Austin Carlo is dead, this matter has been spread in Bingxue for a long time, but you don't know about it yet."
Dead! Everyone started discussing again. Legend has it that Austin Carlo was the strongest mage in the Ice and Snow Empire. He died. How did he die?
When everyone was discussing to no avail, someone looked at the mysterious man and originally wanted to ask if he knew how Austin Carlo died. However, the mysterious man had already left the original table, and the sharp-eyed man asked
I saw that the mysterious man had already walked to the door.
The mysterious man stood at the door and said before going out:
"I don't think his death is important to this ranking!"
Everyone in the tavern stopped talking and looked at the mysterious man at the door, who then said:
"What's important is whether Wood's strength qualifies him to be on this list."
Then the mysterious man left the tavern, and the mercenary with good intentions hurriedly chased him out. He originally wanted to ask Austin Carlo about the cause of death, but when he went out, there was no mysterious man on the street. To know the mystery
People and him were just front and back. How did that mysterious man disappear in such a short period of time?
Just after the mercenary went back in confusion, he saw the tavern owner standing in front of the table blankly. He walked over curiously and asked:
"Boss, didn't he pay me?"
The boss was still looking at the table blankly, and the mercenary looked curiously. There was a row of writings left by Dou Qi on the table, challenging Wood tomorrow afternoon, ranking 101st in the combat power rankings.
The mercenary shouted hurriedly:
"Holy crap, that person just now is the starry sky assassin ranked 101st in the combat power rankings, Zorro!"
Then the entire Fire City was shocked again.
That night, someone told Wood about the incident. Of course, Wood also felt it, because there was a strong murderous aura in the valley. This murderous aura has been surrounding Wood. With Wood's mental ability, it was easy to tell the difference.
However, the murderous aura seemed to be just observing or waiting. According to the reporter's statement, Zorro should appear tomorrow.
When Wood knew that the man ranked 101st in the combat power rankings had no ill intentions tonight, Wood entered a state of meditation and practice.
In the early morning of the next day, everyone was very vigilant and guarded Wood. At this time, only Wood might be the most relaxed, because that night, after everyone knew about Zorro's arrival, no one practiced or rested. They were all afraid of this man.
Zorro will assassinate Wood at night.
After Wood opened his eyes, everyone greeted them with concern. Wood responded with a smile, while Yuna said very worriedly:
"Brother Wood, I can feel that Zorro is near us, but I don't know where he is!"
Wood smiled and said:
"Don't worry, he's right on top of us."
Then everyone raised their heads and looked warily. The place where Wood was meditating was the cave that was being built. Except for some things that were about to be rebuilt, there was nothing else on it. But after Wood finished saying this,
The murderous aura suddenly filled the cave.
Wood smiled and said:
"You've been hiding all night, it's time to come out!"
Then a shadow of a person appeared in a corner of the mountain wall. After Wood revealed his location, he turned around and landed in front of everyone, who all took out their weapons and were on guard.
That figure was Zorro, but he did not look at Wood after landing, but looked at Yuna and said:
"Such a strong mental power, I didn't dare to move all night, I was so exhausted!"
Wood stood up and asked:
"Are you here for a challenge?"
Zoro nodded, then shook his head and said:
"I do want to challenge you, but I am not interested in artifacts. I am very interested in another thing."
Wood looked at him quietly and then said:
"The lost secret technique, the stealth technique of earth?"
Zorro nodded, and Wood continued:
"If you want the stealth technique of earth, there is only one way to join my sect!"
Zoro frowned. This was the first time he heard this term and he had no idea about the sect. Wood saw his confusion and then said:
"The so-called sect means that I teach the secret method only to my disciples or my friends!"
Now Zorro understood. In the Divine Grace Continent, there is no such thing as a disciple, only godson, disciple and student, and disciples are equal to subordinates of a force or family.
Zoro laughed and said:
"Hahaha, you want me to become your disciple, okay, you defeat me first, then I can think about it."
Wood continued:
"You misunderstood. I did not accept your challenge because you changed the bet. If you do not accept my disciple request, I will not accept your challenge."
Seeing Wood speaking so resolutely, Lord Zorro was suddenly stunned and asked:
"What should I exchange for something?"
Wood shook his head, and then explained the definition of the sect, and what position he had in the sect with his peak strength. After listening to Wood's long speech, this Zorro was really shaken, but the peak strength
The strong always have their own pride, Zorro then said:
"In this case, I will explain your conditions, but you must defeat me before I will join your sect!"
Wood smiled and said:
"Then I took advantage of this duel! If I win, you are my sect's deacon. If I lose, I won't give you anything."
And Zoro said coldly and arrogantly:
"You are wrong. If you lose, you will die!"
After Zorro said these words, he disappeared, and everyone made way for them. In the eyes of everyone, Zorro only used stealth. Although he did hide his figure, everyone had already
His route has been seen through.
Of course, Zoro also felt it, but since he had already used the stealth technique, there was no need to reveal his body. When he reached the entrance of the cave, Zoro left his last words:
"I'll wait for you at the arena!"
After everyone saw the peak assassin away with their eyes, Shi Long scratched his head and said:
"This man is so weird. We have already seen through his stealth skills, so why are he still hiding?"
Wood smiled and explained:
"He is at the top, and he has the respect of a strong man at the top."
And Laura said disdainfully:
"What kind of peak powerhouse can't become invisible in front of us?"
Wood said as he walked out:
"That doesn't mean he is weak, but because we have become stronger!"
Then everyone followed Wood to leave the cave, and the group of people flew towards the Fire City. It was now morning, and there was still a morning before the agreed time for his challenge, so Wood had to take everyone to eat first, and then inform Ivan. After all, in the competition
