After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

In recent days, whether Lin Da could attain a Ten-Star Rating had become the most popular topic in the taverns.

Such a rating had never appeared in the history of White Dove City, Red Heart City, or South Rock City.

An adventurer rated with Ten Stars holds a sliver of hope to become a legend.

Countless eyes were eagerly watching White Dove City.

Once Lin Da achieved the Ten-Star Rating,

an endless stream of Gold Coins would surge toward White Dove City and the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team.

Moreover, someone was shocked to discover that even the "Voice of the Empire" newspaper...

had included the names of Lin Da and others in a small box in the bottom right corner!

Although it occupied just a single line of ant-like small print,

just being mentioned in the "Voice of the Empire" was an immense honor.

On the day the newspaper was published, the three team leaders of White Dove City were all newly titled as Honorary Adventurers of White Dove City.

Lin Da, already a Glorious Adventurer, was publicly praised by the city committee and awarded a special Purple Gold Coin imprinted with the White Dove totem.

This gesture symbolized the contributions Lin Da had made to White Dove City.

This commemorative Purple Gold Coin was placed in the center of the trophy display room by Lin Da.

"Voice of the Empire," Lin Da had also read it.

He and his teammates spent a long time until they found their tiny line of text in the corner of the "Budding Blossoms" section.

Someday, they would make it to the center of the page,

occupying a full-page feature by themselves.

Although he had become the strongest adventurer in White Dove City, Lin Da felt he was just beginning, unveiling just a corner of the mystique of the Great Mystery Continent.

Starting from the 20th level of the Great Mystery Continent, they would officially encounter Demon Adventurers and many more fearsome Magical Creatures.

The conditions from then on would be much harsher.

If they were to stay below the 20th level their whole lives, Lin Da and his team's strength would be more than sufficient.

But beyond level 20, along came real slaughter and death.

Demons level up by devouring souls of other races, an almost irreconcilable contradiction.

To demons, the souls of high-potential adventurers like Lin Da were a favorite.

Similarly, by slaying demons they could offer the horns on the demons' foreheads to the World Tree Goddess to receive rewards...

The future adventures would see a doubled danger level, yet Lin Da harbored not a trace of fear in his heart.

His Verdant Shield, Lulu's berserk, Monica's explosive output... with the strength of the Phoenix Tail Flower Team, they were sure to carve out their own piece of the sky.

After lunch that day, Lin Da led his team to the wilderness to hunt Magical Creatures and earn Mystical Points.

Along the way, he also practiced rare Fusion Skills with Lia and Isa to increase proficiency.

Under the terrifying power of the Ice Flame Demon Prison Array, the Magical Creatures were slaughtered like cutting chives.

The trio not only collected a large number of Demon Cores, but Lin Da also received about 70,000 Mystical Points from the system rewards.

If Lin Da wanted, he could break through from level 37 at any time.

The only regret was that continuously hunting the same type of Magical Creature, the Mystical Points would decrease.

Eventually, Lin Da found that killing a level 30 Magical Creature yielded only 100 points.

And Magical Creatures of the same level as him were scarce around White Dove City.

Lin Da had no choice but to change his training plans, focusing on improving team coordination and mastering more Mysteries of Magic Heart Slash.

Additionally, he intended to choose a good day to open the "Golden Pear" and "unidentified scroll."

The former could randomly upgrade one of his skills to full level, while the latter could reveal a random Epic Level magic scroll.

Both were highly dependent on luck.

Lin Da tested his fortune daily with Lia.

When he lost all three rounds of "Rock Paper Scissors" one day, he could then bathe, dress up, and use the Golden Pear and the unidentified scroll.

...

The following morning. Experience exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Red Heart City, the Mandala family estate.

After morning training, Dawen set down his wooden sword and entered the bathroom to wash off his sweat.

Then, carrying a steaming cup of coffee, he went out to the balcony to read in the morning, sitting in a wicker chair.

Dawen quickly scanned through it.

The front page stories were all about the disastrous defeat in the 15th layer of the Great Mystery Continent.

["King Sloth steals an attack on Lin Da with his Ultimate Skill, but is slain! Are the adventurers of White Dove City really that powerful?"]

["The end of the good days! Is Lin Da planning to wreak havoc in the resource area of Red Heart City?"]

["Pressure falls on the Scarlet Adventure Group. Faced with the unstoppable Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, what choice will they make?"]

"Lin Da, you've really given me a hard puzzle,"

Dawen sighed softly as he murmured, "I really don't want to fight with you."

However, as just a vice-leader of the Scarlet, he couldn't make that decision.

After reviewing the footage from the 15th layer of the Great Mystery Continent, Augutuo emerged from his underground study.

In Augutuo's eyes, Dawen saw the long-lost Fighting Spirit.

Even that pale face regained some color.

Dawen hadn't seen his father in such a state for over a decade.

Ever since Augutuo had advanced to level 39 and been unable to break through to the Moon Rank, this tyrant-like man had undergone a huge change in personality, growing increasingly thin.

He shut himself in the underground study, detached from worldly affairs.

It seemed nothing could spark Augutuo's interest.

Decades of underground cultivation had pushed Augutuo's Battle Qi to the limit of the Star Rank.

In sparring sessions with Dawen, he couldn't even last a single round.

The mysterious blood power always became a blade at moments Dawen least expected, halting at his neck.

Dawen was sure, below the Moon Rank, no one could defeat his father.

But Lin Da's performance had caught Augutuo's attention.

Augutuo had once said that if mere cultivation could not break through to the Moon Rank, then let it be a hearty battle of life and death.
