Wizard's Journey

Chapter 667 Ranking Rules

The Golden Scale Monster picked up his hot tea and took a sip.

"Actually, the rules are very simple. First, there are the participation reward rules. The top three on the leaderboard receive Time-Retaining Items as a reward, the top one hundred receive different rewards, and there are no rewards after the top one hundred. Second-level Demon Hunter Wizards who have received rewards will never be able to participate in the leaderboard competition again."

After saying that, the Golden Scale Monster's expression turned serious.

"The rules for competing for the rankings are as follows: During the 100-year ranking cycle, any witcher ranked 100th or lower can challenge any witcher ranked 4th to 100th, and upon victory, take their place. Witchers ranked 4th to 100th have the right to challenge the 3rd ranked witcher. Whenever the 3rd ranked witcher wins three consecutive matches, they can challenge the 2nd ranked witcher. And whenever the 2nd ranked witcher wins three consecutive matches, they can challenge the 1st ranked witcher once!"

Green realized a problem.

"Are the rewards for the first, second, and third place winners different?"

"certainly!"

Old Monster Jinlin replied matter-of-factly, "Have you forgotten the three paths to advancement for a wizard?"

Green's expression turned serious, and he said in a low voice, "Strength, wisdom, and luck—the three paths to becoming a wizard, but it's about advancing to a third-level archmage..."

"Hmph, let alone advancing to a Level 3 Grand Wizard, even advancing to a Saint-Stigma Wizard is possible with absolute strength, as long as one gains recognition from the wizarding world and obtains a Special Honor Medal!"

The words of the Golden Scale Old Monster reminded Green of Senior Sister Youquan. The highest honor medal in the wizarding world is the original will of the wizarding world, representing the status of the master of the wizarding world!

It has many advantages, the most crucial one being that no Stigmata Wizard can threaten the Academy War anymore.

Moreover, it will be much more convenient on the path to becoming a True Spirit in the future... as long as the wizarding world is not destroyed!

Picking up his hot tea, Green took a sip as well, and then asked in a low voice, "So, how was the initial ranking determined on the Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking?"

"Following those top elite demon hunter wizards to quell rebellions within certain world rulers of the Wizarding Alliance is generally a mission that represents the will of the wizarding world. It is bound to be swift and decisive, and the process is very fast. My mission was completed in a year."

Green nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

……

one year later.

Millie's Demon Hunter Castle is located in a crevice in the cliff of the Tree of Life.

After a cursory glance, it appears there are several hundred demon hunter castles in this area. This is just a typical gathering place for level two demon hunter wizards, and they don't receive the same special treatment as Grimm.

"Grin, where's the 8-color neon vichy?"

After opening the gates of the Demon Hunter Castle, Millie wore a natural smile, partly because she was happy to advance to the second level of wizard, and partly because she was delighted to see her old friend, Green. The two had maintained a close relationship for thousands of years and were considered true friends among wizards who could speak freely with each other.

"That guy went to find Ye Ye."

Green shook his head and walked into the Demon Hunter Castle as Millie greeted him.

Two demi-human servants, a man and a woman, were cleaning the room, while several other humanoid slaves were busy preparing a sumptuous feast for the table.

There were four people around the long dining table. Among them was a witch with fiery red hair and a face that was very similar to Millie's yet completely different. This was Mina. Although her expression was the usual indifferent and cold one of the world's guardians, her gaze toward Green always seemed to carry a hint of passion.

The goal of being the Guardian of Summer in the Wizarding World is indeed very suitable for her.

Green didn't know the other three people, and Millie's circle of friends was different from Green's.

"That guy, honestly, he used to come to my demon hunter castle every day to eat the food I cooked."

Millie shook her head, complained, and then ushered Green to the table, where he sat down next to her. Green and Mina looked at each other.

"Since you did not embark on the path of the Body of Fire, the connection between our bodies has become increasingly weak."

Mina's voice sounded strange and regretful, but Green said calmly, "Talent cannot determine our path as wizards. Only wisdom determines our path. Thank you for the Sixth Ring Tower."

After Millie sat down, she gestured for the humanoid slave beside her to step back and introduced the other three unfamiliar friends to Green.

"Green, this is my father's second disciple and student, and also my senior sister, Gumozana."

Green looked over and saw a Level 2 Wizard with a Level 2 Medal of Honor. He had short green hair, a very voluptuous figure under his wizard robes, and a pair of large, captivating eyes that seemed to speak volumes. When he saw Mina, this extraordinary "heavyweight" friend, the corners of his mouth turned up.

Gumozana's large eyes scanned back and forth between Green and Millie.

"If Master Grimm is looking for a wife to explore the path of wizardry with, my mentor's beloved daughter, Little Lily, would be a good choice. Hahaha, no wonder she was so cold to that male wizard my mentor introduced last time. Turns out she has such an excellent demon hunter by her side. If it were me, I wouldn't even look at that guy."

Gumozana chuckled, while Millie, looking embarrassed, gestured for her senior sister to stop talking.

Green was slightly taken aback, but didn't say anything.

Although it was calm, the complex pain deep in Green's eyes showed that even after a thousand years, the love in Green's heart had not faded. On the contrary, it had become more solidified with the passage of time and had even been integrated into his soul.

The brief, wonderful, and joyful memories were enough for Green to cherish for a lifetime, becoming a profound mark on the long river of his life as he explored the path of wizardry.

"Hmph, you've forgotten all these years, sister. Green was mine back then. It was you who stopped me, saying that wizard apprentices shouldn't develop too many feelings for each other, otherwise one would advance to become a full wizard while the other wouldn't..."

Halfway through her sentence, Mina realized something and shut her mouth.

Göring remained calm and silent.

"Ah... Green, let me introduce you, this is...

The remaining two demon hunter wizards introduced by Miguel were a wizard couple who had both advanced to the level two wizards. They seemed quite nervous and excited about Grimm's first-level honor medal status.

Every wizard saw him like this, and Green was already used to it.

The First-Class Honor Medal signifies the status of a Quasi-Saint Mark. Before advancing to the Saint Mark Wizard level, the First-Class Honor Medal is a special status!

Generally speaking, those demon hunters who have obtained the first-level honor medal are hiding in the deepest part of the Holy Tower, preparing to advance to the fourth-level wizard, or traveling to other worlds, and rarely appear in the wizarding world or demon hunter expeditions.

At the lavish banquet, Green controlled his emotions and enjoyed a brief but happy gathering as Millie's friend.

After the banquet, Green contacted several of his friends. Apart from Wiki, who had advanced to level two wizards sixty years ago, Solang and Kredia were still level one wizards, with their advancement to level two seemingly a long way off.
