54: Chapter 54: All Level Up, Huge Changes in the Prodigy Ranking

"My Lord, after one of the Shadow Race was illuminated, it fled into the Void Land."

The patrolling Burning Sky Flame Dragon reported to Lin Xiao. According to its observation, the Shadow Race had panicked and run into the Void Land on the east side.

"Courting death."

Lin Xiao shook his head and ignored it.

He knew the situation of the Void Land outside his territory better than anyone.

Even within his own territory, there were few who could charge into the Void Land and return safely.

The fact that the Shadow Race could be illuminated by the revealing powder meant its quality did not exceed Rare grade. With such strength, charging into the Void Land was tantamount to suicide; after all, invisibility was not hiding in a different dimension, let alone invincibility.

It was dead for sure.

"The last Shadow Race should be Perfect grade..."

Lin Xiao understood clearly in his heart.

It seemed the Shadow Race Lord who invaded his territory was also an old-school Third-Tier Lord, though their strength shouldn't be high, having only one Perfect grade unit.

Rare grade revealing powder didn't work as well on Perfect grade heroes and troops.

But it wasn't completely ineffective.

It would likely only reveal a very faint shadow, which was easy to overlook on a chaotic battlefield.

If it wasn't discovered at the beginning, it would become harder to find the opponent as time went on.

However, Lin Xiao did not lose his composure.

He had already sent word to Qian Ying, asking her to take action.

An assassin?

Skilled in stealth?

In this regard, Qian Ying was the ancestor.

Sure enough, not long after, Qian Ying sent word that she had already dealt with the hidden Shadow Race.

What surprised Lin Xiao slightly was that in this short amount of time, the opponent had run to the mountains on the west side of the territory and hidden there.

If not for Qian Ying, it would have been truly difficult for Lin Xiao to find the opponent.

In the end, out of helplessness, perhaps the only way to solve it would have been to have the Burning Sky Flame Dragon carpet-bomb the territory, a mutually destructive method?

"One more day."

Lin Xiao waited patiently.

...

Prodigy Group.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the group was somewhat strange; no one was speaking.

Because today was the tenth day of Lin Xiao upgrading to a Level 3 territory.

Previously, Yun Zhiyue and over a dozen other War Lords had declared in the group that as long as Lin Xiao could survive for ten days, they would all upgrade to Level 3 territories together.

The Prodigies did not know much about Lin Xiao's current situation.

But one thing was certain.

Lin Xiao was still alive.

Would Yun Zhiyue and the others keep their promise?

Also,

If Yun Zhiyue and the others upgraded to Level 3 territories, should they follow suit?

Unlike the complex emotions of the others, Yun Zhiyue was very excited at this moment.

"Look, I knew it. The Purgatory Race and Sin Race don't have that much of an advantage. Ten days have passed, and they haven't even dealt with one Lin Xiao."

"Don't think of them as too terrifying. After all, we aren't pushovers either. I'm definitely upgrading to a Level 3 territory."

"As long as we get through the most vulnerable period, with our foundation and strength, do we still need to fear those guys?"

The person chatting with her privately was Wei Xuanqi, the former number one on the prodigy ranking.

Upon hearing this, Wei Xuanqi was also filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

"Could it be that we overestimated the threat of the Purgatory Race and Sin Race in the First Source Sea?"

In fact, they were also in the dark about how much of an advantage the Purgatory Race and Sin Race actually had in the First Source Sea, and how high the threat level was.

Currently, on the Human Race side, the Jinshi Chamber of Commerce had been destroyed, and the Tianwu Alliance had been destroyed.

Even more small factions had been wiped out.

All the top-tier Lords and old-school Lords of the Human Race, and even a large number of ordinary Third-Tier Lords, were being attacked with full force by the Purgatory Race and Sin Race. Communication was very inconvenient, and their grasp of the overall situation was not high.

For Prodigies like them, no one knew how dangerous the situation really was.

However, one only had one life; who would dare to try it lightly?

Now, Lin Xiao seemed to have pierced through this layer of fog.

Wei Xuanqi was heart-struck.

Yun Zhiyue was right. With the full support of the Lord Association, these Prodigies either held Epic-grade heroes or Epic-grade troops. After upgrading to a Level 3 territory, as long as they survived the most vulnerable period and raised the strength of their heroes and troops as quickly as possible, they could leap to become top-tier Lords.

Even if their foundation wasn't as good as those top-tier Lords who had stayed in the First Source Sea for years, they would still be in the first echelon.

Once successful, it would also be a huge benefit to the precarious overall situation of the Human Race.

"Wei Xuanqi, are you following or not?"

Seeing that Wei Xuanqi had not responded for a long time, Yun Zhiyue said impatiently.

"Do you think there's a possibility that this is a trap set by the Purgatory Race and Sin Race, specifically creating the illusion that their advantage isn't that great, to trick us into upgrading to Level 3 territories and then wiping us all out?" Wei Xuanqi took a deep breath, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

He analyzed calmly.

He had to admit that this possibility existed, and it wasn't small.

"Hesitating and indecisive, you surnamed Wei, that's all you are."

"Whether you follow or not is up to you. Anyway, I will upgrade to a Level 3 territory. My word is my bond; what I've said, I will definitely follow through on."

Yun Zhiyue sneered and closed the chat with Wei Xuanqi without hesitation.

Soon, she posted her declaration in the Prodigy Group that she was about to upgrade to a Level 3 territory.

Chu Ran, Cao Haotian, and others responded one after another.

They had long been prepared to upgrade, and the Lords Heart was already in hand; upgrading was just a thought away.

The Human Race prodigy ranking soon underwent massive changes.

First place: Lin Xiao, Level 3 territory

Second place: Yun Zhiyue, Level 3 territory

Third place: Chu Ran, Level 3 territory

Fourth place: Cao Haotian, Level 3 territory

...

Thirty-first place: Pang Lingfeng, Level 3 territory

On the prodigy ranking, thirty Level 3 Lords appeared in a very short time. The original second place, Wei Xuanqi, was pushed down to thirty-second place.

Not only were there Yun Zhiyue and the others who had declared they would upgrade to Level 3 territories from the start, but a dozen more people changed their minds, responded to their call, and chose to upgrade to Level 3 territories together to face the risks together.

"What's going on?"

"Why have so many people upgraded to Level 3 territories all of a sudden?"

The massive change in the prodigy ranking was discovered by countless Human Race Lords immediately, and they were in an uproar.

Ordinary Lords didn't know much. To them, the situation wasn't much different from before; after all, the Human Race's situation in the First Source Sea hadn't completely collapsed.

Those Lords who knew some of the truth were both surprised and delighted.

Could it be that the Human Race was going to counterattack?

"I hope you can stand your ground."

Wei Xuanqi's expression was somewhat complex. He ultimately chose to play it safe.

If it really was a trap, and this batch of Prodigies was all wiped out, the loss would be too great.

If the Human Race wanted to salvage the situation later, they would have to pay an even heavier price.

To avoid the worst possible outcome, Wei Xuanqi had to choose to be conservative. He persuaded some Prodigies to wait and see with him.

Too many people had upgraded to Level 3 territories this time, and they were all on the prodigy ranking.

The Purgatory Race and Sin Race would not watch Yun Zhiyue and the others grow up, so if it really was a trap, it would be triggered immediately.

The truth would be revealed soon.
