As the only training grounds for the Star Lake Legion, the Star Lake Training Center occupied a radius of one kilometer and was hundreds of meters tall. It could easily be regarded as one of the most majestic buildings in Star Lake City.
On a normal day, thereâd be well over 50,000 people present in the training center. Apart from the Star Lake Legionâs participants, many powers from Star Lake City and nearby towns would send their youths here to receive training. Although non-participants would have to pay a hefty price to train here, youths who came here would benefit from receiving the Star Lake Legionâs basic training from a young age. That way, theyâd have a much greater chance of entering the Star Lake Legion once they reached a suitable age.
Currently, inside one of the simulation training rooms located on the training centerâs top floor, the Star Lake Legionâs Vice Commander Markless Blade was sparring with a woman.
The woman in question wielded a spear, and her presence could be felt from every corner of the room as if she was the absolute ruler of this room. Shortly after the spar began, the woman executed a flurry of strikes against Markless Blade, every one of her movements carrying frightening power. Markless Blade was utterly powerless to resist this flurry of attacks, getting knocked out of the fighting ring in the blink of an eye.
âHow is it? How do I compare with Black Flame?â the woman eagerly asked as she looked at Markless Blade.
Markless Blade did not offer a response right away. Instead, he struggled for a moment to stand up and catch his breath. Then, looking at the woman in the fighting ring with a hint of fear in his eyes, Markless Blade said, âCan you stop getting me to be your sparring partner, Commander? If Black Flame has your standards, thereâs no way I could have lasted so long against him.â
âHow unfortunate. I thought he could have entertained me a little, but I guess he is still a little ways off,â Red Frost said as she turned off the roomâs simulation function. Immediately, her weapon and equipment disappeared, leaving only a pair of pajamas. âBut according to the information you provided, Black Flame should be nearing the fifth-floor standard already. With such strength, Leroja and that First Paragon are the only ones among your Heavenly Boaâs Seven Great Paragons who can fight him.â
âIs he that strong?â Markless Blade asked in a dubious tone. Although he had lost to Black Flame, that was only because of Black Flameâs sudden burst of power catching him off guard. Had he been prepared for the three slashes Black Flame had used to kill him, he was confident he could survive those attacks.
âYou are underestimating that sudden burst of power too much,â Red Frost said, looking at Markless Blade as if she was looking at an idiot. âWithout a sufficiently high Concentration standard and absolute control toward mana, there is no way he could have executed three Saint-ranked Mana Techniques simultaneously. You would have long since lost if the two of you had the same Basic Attributes.â
After thinking it over, Markless Blade had to agree with Red Frost. The bonuses provided by Tier 5 Magic Equipment were far superior to any bonuses a Dark-Gold Immortal Set could offer. Had Black Flame been equipped with a piece of Tier 5 Magic Equipment as well, the outcome of their fight would have certainly been much more decisive.
âItâs a pity that this is the end of the line for him,â Markless Blade suddenly said in a lamenting tone. âThe Guild has already decided to get rid of him for good. Big Sis Blood Arrow will definitely be making a move. Black Flame stands no chance against Big Sis Blood Arrow and her Divine Twilight Set.â
âDivine Twilight?â Red Frost was a little surprised when she heard Markless Bladeâs words. âHow generous of Heavenly Boa. Are you not afraid some Tier 6 expert might fall for the temptation and try to snatch it?â
The Divine Twilight Set was a four-piece Fragmented Legendary Set that was a replica of the Legendary-ranked Divine Sun Set.
This replica was the Heavenly Boa Guildâs greatest achievement. However, even after expending numerous Legendary-ranked materials and Inferior Divine Artifact-ranked materials, Heavenly Boa had only produced three Divine Twilight Sets.
Of these three sets, two were currently equipped by two Tier 6 powerhouses known by all in the Starlight Realm, namely the Second Vice Guild Leader of Heavenly Boa and the commander of Heavenly Boaâs fifth trump card legion.
So, for Heavenly Boa to let a Tier 4 player use one of its three Divine Twilight Sets was a huge extravagance.
âIt canât be helped. This is Big Sis Blood Arrowâs condition for participating in the Rookie Competition. Otherwise, she was going to join the preliminaries held in the empire and fight for a slot through there,â Markless Blade said with a bitter smile. âTo ensure enough members can enter the official competition, the Guild has no choice but to lend the Divine Twilight Set to her.â
There were countless Tier 4 experts in the Myriad Foret Empire. Not to mention, due to the value of the Galaxy Conglomerateâs invitational competition, many paragons from long ago would also be making a reappearance, and nobody knew how many of these paragons existed. Even the mighty Empress Blood Arrow might get disqualified from the invitational competitionâs preliminaries.
Heavenly Boa naturally wouldnât let Leroja take such a risk. After all, this was the best opportunity to join the Galaxy Conglomerate. Every additional slot the Guild secured in the invitational competitionâs official phase would increase the Guildâs chances of success.
Moreover, if Leroja had the Divine Twilight Set assisting her, she was practically guaranteed to get into the Rookie Competitionâs top 20. If luck was on Heavenly Boaâs side, Leroja could even lead an entire party into the top 20. Hence, Heavenly Boa eventually agreed to Lerojaâs demands.
âIt seems the Rookie Competition is going to be boring,â Red Frost said, sighing.
Before Red Frost and Markless Blade could continue with their conversation, a knock suddenly came from the door. Immediately afterward, a silver-haired young man whose mental strength had reached the two-star grandmaster standard entered the room and quickly approached Red Frost. However, instead of speaking right away, the young man glanced at Markless Blade and revealed a hesitant look.
âJust say it. That kid wonât dare to spread anything he hears here,â Red Frost said, chuckling as he looked at the silver-haired youth. âIâll break his legs if he dares.â
Markless Blade shuddered when he heard Red Frostâs threat.
Meanwhile, after getting Red Frostâs approval, the silver-haired youth said, âCommander, this just came in, but it seems something big has happened in the Godâs Domain Association Building.â
âSomething big? What could possibly happen in the Association?â Red Frost responded nonchalantly.
The Godâs Domain Association was a training ground for newcomers. No matter how big of a fuss these newcomers made, itâd be nothing more than a commotion caused by children. Sheâd only be wasting her time paying attention to matters involving children.
âA monster!â the silver-haired youth said with a look of awe. âA monster that has never been seen in Star Lake Cityâs history has appeared in the Godâs Domain Association!â
âA monster? How monstrous are we talking about?â Red Frost asked, her curiosity slightly piqued. âCould they be comparable to Shi Feng?â
âNo, sheâs even more monstrous than him, coming in 10th place on her first test!â the silver-haired youth said, a chill spreading across his body when he spoke about this achievement. âEvery power in Star Lake City has probably set their sights on her already. I think even the City Lord got startled by this matterâŠâ
As soon as the silver-haired youth finished speaking, silence suddenly descended upon the training room.
After the silence lasted for a moment, Red Frost stared at the silver-haired youth with widened eyes and asked, âWhat did you say? Say it again!â
âThat monster came in 10th place in the selection on her first test. By now, every power in Star Lake City has probably set their sights on her already,â the silver-haired youth repeated. âCommander, what should we do?â
