East of Dawn Forest.
Bang~!
"I'm exhausted."
A muscular, rugged man collapsed on the ground, panting heavily.
"These Lord Assessments are brutal. No wonder even Blue Star's top experts only get S-Tier ratings."
"But... I'm no slouch either!"
[Lord Assessment settlement started.]
[Settlement successful, comprehensive rating: S-Tier. Starting reward distribution.]
[Congratulations! You have received one Lord Skill Card (S-Tier).]
[Congratulations! You have received one Extra Troop Recruitment Card.]
[Congratulations! You have received one Basic Storage Ring.]
[Congratulations! You have received 1,000 Energy.]
[Congratulations! You have received 300 units of Wood.]
[Congratulations! You have received 300 units of Stone.]
"Haha, I told you, if you try, you can do it!"
Listening to the prompt with lungs about to explode, Wang Qiang smiled bry.
With an S-Tier physical enhancement talent and eighteen years of constant training,
he defended against the fifth wave in Lord Assessment.
When all his forces were wiped out, he single-handedly defeated the last dozen enemies!
"S-Tier rating! Only nine people in Blue Star's history have achieved this!"
"And now, I will be the tenth!"
[Detected all new Lords in Dawn Forest finished Lord Assessment; starting ranking settlement.]
[Settlement successful, your rank is second.]
[Starting reward distribution.]
[Congratulations! You have received 2,000 Energy.]
[Congratulations! You have received 5 Prestige Points.]
[Congratulations! You have received Tier 2 Equipment — Wind Wolf Armor.]
"Haha, the regional ranking reward came too!"
"Wind Wolf Armor! I like that name!"
—
[Wind Wolf Armor]
[Tier: Tier 2]
[Attribute 1: Defense +100]
[Attribute 2: Wind attribute skill damage increased by 20%.]
—
"What?!"
Sitting up in shock and pain,
after checking the Wind Wolf Armor's attributes, Wang Qiang jumped up in surprise, muttering, "Why is it only Tier 2 equipment?!"
"Didn't those old boastful guys say first place gets Tier 3 gear?!"
"Surely they didn't lie in cahoots to trick me."
After a while,
grabbing a handful of hair, Wang Qiang seemed to realize something. He tapped in the air and opened the Lord Assessment ranking list.
The next second, a roar composed of three parts confusion, three parts surprise, three parts frustration, and one part despair spread in all directions.
"What the hell is this place! It's still SSS-Tier rating!!"
...
Elsewhere.
After brief communication, Su Wu successfully explained some basic knowledge to Cang Yue, who had responded to his summoning without understanding much.
"That's basically it. Any other questions?"
Playing with the Shadowless Sword taken from Su Wu, Cang Yue shook her head, seemingly just waking from thoughts by Su Wu's question, "No."
"Then I'll repeat the few points I mentioned."
"First, collect the Energy Stones dropped by killed monsters."
"Second, don't open treasure chests without permission; bring them to Su Wu to open."
...
"Good!"
Seeing Cang Yue remembered everything, Su Wu nodded in satisfaction and pointed westward.
"Start clearing monsters from there."
"Begin by clearing nearby areas centered on the territory, then come back to me."
"Okay."
Reluctantly touching the Shadowless Sword, Cang Yue sheathed it and handed it to Su Wu: "Here, return it."
"Do you like the Shadowless Sword so much?" Su Wu asked, somewhat puzzled.
"With your strength, even at level 1, getting Tier 3 equipment shouldn't be hard."
"First time seeing one."
After hesitating, Cang Yue replied, "Where I came from was all ice, nothing else."
"I see..."
Having roughly understood the background, Su Wu nodded, then shifted his gaze to Cang Yue's fair hand.
No wonder she was dazed before; she must have been observing the surroundings.
Retracting his hand, Su Wu sighed silently.
"Since you like it so much, the Shadowless Sword is yours."
"Okay ~"
Her voice was a few tones higher than before.
Cang Yue stopped holding the sword and hung it at her waist.
"I'm going to clear monsters now..."
After a pause, having gotten to know Su Wu's strength and realizing he was a somewhat weak same kind, Cang Yue added, "I'll finish quickly and come back to protect you."
"Don't worry about me." Su Wu waved his hand.
"For seven days after a newbie Lord arrives, the 1000x1000 area centered on the Lord's Heart won't be attacked by monsters."
"More than protecting me, what I need is for you to clean out the surrounding monsters as fast as possible."
"Mm." Cang Yue nodded and turned to leave the territory.
Watching her back, Su Wu rubbed his wrist confidently.
Her 800 Constitution was no joke.
He had just started to exert force, yet she seemed unaware.
What a pity.
His first piece of equipment was taken by Cang Yue.
Originally, he planned to sell the sword for a high price after growing stronger.
Now he'd have to find another Tier 3 equipment to disguise himself with.
