63: Chapter 63 A Prodigy!

"Wolong Array Master?"

Hearing this name, even Wan'er, who considered herself knowledgeable, was taken aback.

She searched through her memories, but had never heard of such a profession.

While rare professions did exist outside of the top ten, she had only seen sporadic records of them in ancient texts.

Things like Illusion Array Masters, Wind Whisperers, Star Astrologers... although unheard of, they were at least traceable.

But as for the four words "Wolong Array Master," she hadn't even seen a shadow of them.

Let alone hearing about it, even if she tried to guess, she couldn't figure out which system this profession belonged to.

Immediately after, Lei Lie asked impatiently.

"And what about the Rank?"

His eyes were wide open, his tone urgent.

"With such a terrifying casting range, it can't be Black Iron Rank, right?"

Strategist Zhu Ge smiled and said, "It's a bit higher than that."

"Then it must be Bronze Rank?" Lei Lie asked tentatively.

Strategist Zhu Ge still smiled and shook his head, "It's still a bit higher."

Lei Lie was completely bewildered.

His voice involuntarily raised a few notches, carrying a hint of disbelief.

"It couldn't possibly... be Silver Rank, right?!"

Strategist Zhu Ge lightly waved his feather fan and nodded with a smile.

At this, everyone went quiet.

It was so quiet that only the sound of footsteps and armor clashing remained.

Silver Rank.

That was Silver Rank!

One had to know, in the entire Flower City—no, within the range they knew—the only Silver Rank Professional was Lei Lie.

And Lei Lie was already thirty-seven years old this year.

A thirty-seven-year-old Silver Rank, in the entire City Lord World, was already considered a Genius.

But how did his Silver Rank come about?

By his own cultivation?

No.

It was because the City Lord bestowed upon him a Platinum Grade purple jade glazed fruit, forcibly cleansing his marrow and washing his tendons, pulling him from the Bronze Rank Peak straight to Silver Rank!

Updates are not easy, remember to share 101 Reading Website.

If it weren't for that spirit fruit, he didn't know how many more years he would have been stuck at the Bronze Rank Bottleneck.

However, looking at Strategist Zhu Ge...

He hadn't eaten any spirit fruit...

Oh, that's not right, he could be considered to have eaten it twice.

But it could almost be considered that he reached Silver Rank solely through his own cultivation!

Wan'er scrutinized the young man sitting in the wheelchair, holding a feather fan, in front of her.

Her tone was somewhat uncertain.

"How old is Strategist Zhu this year...?"

"Just twenty."

Strategist Zhu Ge smiled, his tone casual.

Twenty years old...

Silver Rank!

These words put together were like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's minds.

Lei Lie was completely stunned.

He kept his mouth open, unable to close it for a long time.

A twenty-year-old Silver Rank?

He himself only managed to Breakthrough at thirty-seven with external help, and this person had already reached it at twenty?

Then what did that make him?

Flower City's top combat power?

A Silver Rank "Genius"?

He suddenly felt that the word "Genius" was a bit too hot to say out loud.

If a person like Strategist Zhu Ge didn't count as a Genius, then there were no Geniuses in the world.

And if Strategist Zhu Ge counted as a Genius...

Then he could only be considered... average.

No, not even average.

He even had an urge to tear the "Genius" label off himself and slap it onto Strategist Zhu Ge's forehead.

"..."

Lei Lie was silent for a good while, and finally managed to squeeze out one sentence.

"I say, Strategist, you're already Silver Rank, and you still claim to be just a support, not worth mentioning?"

"Do you have some misunderstanding about what 'not worth mentioning' means?"

Strategist Zhu Ge heard this, smiled lightly, and didn't respond.

Wan'er looked at him, the shock in her heart still continuing.

A twenty-year-old Silver Rank.

Hidden profession, Wolong Array Master.

Three major strategic-level skills.

Leading over twenty thousand refugees through six waves of beast tides without a single death.

These pieces of information, stacked one by one, pieced together an unbelievable image.

And such a Heaven-sent Genius had actually come to Flower City as a refugee!

If it weren't for the City Lord insisting on abolishing the execution line...

If it weren't for the City Lord accepting those refugees...

Where would Strategist Zhu Ge have gone?

Or rather—how many people like Strategist Zhu Ge would have been turned away by other cities and buried alive by this cruel world?

Thinking of this, Wan'er's gaze became even more determined.

...

Under the buff of "Full Army Speed March," the army galloped all the way.

The journey that would have originally taken at least a day and a half had almost doubled in speed.

At this rate, they would be able to reach Han City in less than four or five hours.

During the march, everyone's mindset was quietly changing.

Before setting off, although morale was high, there was more or less some nervousness.

After all, this was the first external battle since the founding of Flower City.

No one had experience, and no one knew what they would encounter.

But now?

Learning that the Strategist was not only a Silver Rank powerhouse but also possessed three major strategic-level support skills...

The confidence of this army instantly went from "having a foundation" to "absolutely steady."

Before, some people were worried: Five thousand against a city, would it be too risky?

Now, no one was worried.

There was a Silver Rank fierce general like Lei Lie leading the charge.

There was a Silver Rank strategist like Strategist Zhu Ge holding the center.

And there was the City Lord personally leading the command.

What were they afraid of?

Who were they afraid of?

Han City?

Just an E-Rank small city!

Attack it!

...

Just when the army's morale was soaring, Strategist Zhu Ge suddenly spoke again.

"City Lord."

Zhou Yun turned his head: "What is it?"

Strategist Zhu Ge's tone became serious.

"We are still three hours away from Han City."

"Before we arrive, there is one matter that needs to be decided in advance."

Zhou Yun glanced at him.

"Speak."

Strategist Zhu Ge straightened his body slightly, closed the feather fan in his hand, and said solemnly:

"Should we use 'Full Army Stealth'?"

Once this question was asked, the attention of the few people around was immediately focused.

Wan'er turned her head, and Lei Lie also perked up his ears.

Strategist Zhu Ge continued:

"If we activate 'Full Army Stealth' now, we can completely conceal the movements of our five thousand people."

"Even if Han City or the cities along the way send out scouts, they will find it difficult to discover our movements."

"At the same time, those blind monsters in the wild will not attack us, allowing us to reach Han City more safely and smoothly."

He paused, then added:

"Once we reach the gates of Han City, we can catch them off guard."

"Siege warfare is inherently an uphill battle, and the defenders have a natural advantage. If we switch to a surprise attack, it will be much easier."

Wan'er heard this and nodded immediately.

"Mr. Zhu is right."

"The purpose of our trip is to save people."

"Marching in stealth and catching them off guard is the most reliable plan."

Lei Lie also voiced his agreement.

"I agree too!"

"We haven't fought a siege battle, so we should be as stable as possible."

The opinions of the three were surprisingly consistent.

Stealth. Surprise attack. Quick victory.

This was the most reasonable plan.

They all looked at Zhou Yun, waiting for the final decision.

Zhou Yun was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he shook his head.

"No need."
