After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

The setting sun was like a golden blanket laid upon the earth.

At this moment.

In the Secret Realm Square, two Iron Level adventure team leaders, old and new, stood face-to-face.

Even though there was no formal ceremony, Abner had indeed passed the baton of the Guardian of White Dove City to Lin Da.

The square was in an uproar.

Ever since Abner had formed the White Dove Adventure Group, he had been known as "the strongest adventurer in White Dove City" for ten full years.

Today, this intangible crown had come to rest upon Lin Da.

Lin Da's gaze was resolute, his voice slow but forceful, "The title of White Dove City's strongest adventurer, I accept it."

The clapping sounded like a tide.

After witnessing the battle against the Silverback Giant Ape, no one doubted Lin Da's strength.

This young adventurer with black hair and eyes was undoubtedly the strongest in White Dove City.

"By the way, I have a few people to introduce to you."

Weylon's expression turned serious as he spoke to the three team leaders, Lin Da and the others.

It seemed like an important matter.

Lin Da asked his teammates to return to the villa first.

He, along with Lia and Isa, entered the Adventurers' Guild's carriage.

It was a large carriage drawn by three fine horses.

The carriage was spacious and luxuriously decorated, with soft red carpet underfoot.

On the sofa inside, there were three young people.

Lin Da's gaze shifted to them.

The first two, both blond with pointed ears and acting affectionately, seemed to be siblings.

Beside them sat a boy with purple curly hair; his cheeks were thin, and he exuded an icy temperament, which gave Lin Da an uneasy feeling.

Upon seeing them enter the carriage, the three immediately stood up.

The girl with short golden hair approached Lin Da, staring at his face as if observing a rare animal.

At such a close distance, Lin Da could even feel the warmth of her breath.

It made him somewhat uncomfortable,

thinking, "Why do all elf girls lack the awareness of gender boundaries? Normal elves like Klyne are becoming rarer..."

The short-haired girl asked, "Could I ask how you, Miss Lia, and Miss Isa achieved the Fusion Rare Skills?

Is your title really 'Ultimate Pervert'?

Could it be that outside of battles, you're also merging..."

"Sister, what are you saying! That's too rude to a stranger we've just met!"

Rudy clenched his teeth and pulled Sterry's head down, apologizing with a smile, "Sorry about that, she's a bit off, please don't mind."

Lin Da's expression darkened slightly.

Bearing the principles of hospitality, he suppressed these negative emotions.

"May I know who you are...?"

"Oh right, we haven't introduced ourselves yet."

Rudy bowed slightly and said, "My name is Rudy, from Proclamation Wind City, a 34-level Star-ranked adventurer. Rated seven-stars by Adventurer's Weekly. This summer, or at the latest by next year, I plan to train at the Ice Abyss Training Camp in Cyan City."

"This not-so-clear-headed sister of mine is Sterry, level 38, rated eight-stars."

Rudy finally pointed towards Wez, with a slight sneer, "This guy is impressive; 'Poison Scorpion' Wez, level 39, rated nine-stars, a famous prodigy adventurer from Giant Scorpion City."

Lin Da's eyebrows raised slightly, his expression becoming somewhat more serious.

All three persons had ratings of at least seven-stars.

The 39-level Wez had potential for nine-stars.

The magic aura he possessed was extremely profound, causing Lin Da to feel a slight threat.

Perhaps even 'Power King' Slo, if faced against Wez, would be utterly crushed.

Proclamation Wind City, Giant Scorpion City...

If he remembered correctly, they were ranked around the fiftieth in Cangqing Province.

Meeting young talents from major cities for the first time, Lin Da was all the more alert.

Lia and Isa's expressions shifted slightly upon hearing their self-introduction.

Though they were quite formidable in White Dove City, they realized there were skies beyond their sky in the vast Cangqing Province.

The pale, weak-looking, purple curly-haired Wez gave Lia an extremely dangerous vibe.

Perhaps even at full strength, they might not be able to win.

Lin Da and his two companions briefly introduced themselves.

"I witnessed your duel with Slo myself,"

Wez's somber face showed a slight smile as he slowly spoke, his voice carrying an undeniable confidence:

"Among the many I've met, there are few who can match up to you. As such, I extend an invitation to you.

Would you join me?

For the next selection at the Ice Abyss Training Camp, I believe that the four of us together could shine like stars."

Upon hearing this, Lin Da frowned, pondering, "Four people?"

He had not yet decided whether to accept the proposal, but a doubt had already risen quietly in his mind. There were clearly six people in the carriage; why did Wez mention only four?

Wez explained without hesitation, "Yes, only four. Only adventurers with eight-star and nine-star ratings qualify to fight alongside us."

His eyes swept lightly toward Rudy and Isa, his tone filled with disdain, "They, clearly do not make the cut."

Isa furrowed her brow and stood emotionlessly on the spot.

"What do you mean?" Lia, seeing Isa's demeanor, stepped forward to shield her, angrily saying, "Adventurer's Weekly's rating isn't everything. When it really comes to fighting, your nine-stars might not measure up to us."

"You two, I'm confident I can defeat within twenty moves," Wez scoffed disdainfully, "Being weak is not a sin, but not recognizing one's own weakness is the most foolish act. If it weren't for Lin Da, I wouldn't even extend an invitation to you."

Wez returned his gaze to Lin Da, his expression now sincere, "I have also contacted another Nine-star Level adventurer. Together, we can surely pass the entry assessment with ease, and with some luck, even clinch the crown."
