Wizard's Journey

Chapter 681 The Challenger (Part 5)

"Was Aachenso defeated by the challenger?"

When Green received this information, he seemed slightly concerned and looked at Xiao Ba, who had a crystal ball floating in front of him.

"Judging from the feedback on the Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking, that's indeed the case. Hehehe, young master, look, this is Yazhi's basic information."

Green looked at Ya Zhi's file with a surprised expression. She hadn't received any medals of honor. This witch hunter was quite interesting.

After thinking for a moment, Green shouted, "Lab, go to the Zijingxiang family and post a mission to gather information about this Yazhi Demon Hunter Wizard."

"Hehe, I know."

Although Raab said that, he ran to Green's side, gave him a quick kiss, and said with a smile, "Well, handsome Green, you've done so much for me these past few days, even if I haven't done anything special, I've still put in a lot of effort. Aren't you going to give me some travel expenses? I've noticed that this necklace and this outfit don't quite match, I'm thinking..."

Green took out twenty Witch Spirit quest rewards and a top-grade magic stone as a tip, waved his hand, and Lab left happily, skipping and hopping.

"Hmph, a Demon Hunter without a Medal of Honor defeated a Demon Hunter with a Level Two Medal of Honor? Little Eight, help me check Aachenso's current ranking."

Xiao Ba flipped through the crystal ball's light screen, then suddenly felt a sense of surprise.

"Huh!? Young Master, Aachenso is now ranked 112th, which means he has fallen out of the range of rewards for the top 100 on the Seventh Ring Holy Tower list."

Green, however, seemed to have expected this, and after thinking for a moment, asked, "So, has Aachenso revealed anything about the Demon Hunter title?"

"Shadow of Despair, young master, you are now the seventh wizard on this year's Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking to have the title of Demon Hunter. Hehehe, I wonder if this will change in the future."

Xiao Ba seemed quite satisfied with the title of Demon Hunter.

"The Shadow of Despair?"

After thinking about it, Green felt that if no stronger demon hunter emerged in this year's competition, far surpassing Aachenso, this title should be Green's final title.

Ordinary level two demon hunters, facing Grimm in this state, could only feel... utter despair.

According to the rules of the Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking, Grimm's registered name in the Demon Hunting Expedition will be changed to Grimm of Despair.

……

Thirty years later.

It took Yazhi a full thirty years to accumulate three victories. This was because the rankings on the Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking gradually began to stabilize based on basic strength. The very few who did not stabilize were accumulating strength, waiting for the final sprint.

In this way, it took Yazhi a full thirty years to accumulate three victories, and she couldn't wait to challenge Green!

Within the fragments of the world, Grimm, Little Eight, the Thousand-Eyed Crab, and the Mysterious Thousand-Headed Bird stand in the sky, their bodies infused with strange energy, before being locked by a mysterious magic circle above the ceiling.

Holding the ram's horn and skull magic staff, Grimm's figure was blurred beneath the robe of appearance.

"A witch who enjoys travel and adventure, is good at secrecy, dislikes killing, and has extremely strong survival skills is quite interesting. In her opinion, becoming a witch hunter is just a way to make it easier to travel to other worlds."

Xiao Ba landed on one of the heads of the Mysterious Thousand-Headed Bird, looking completely relaxed.

"Then we'll see what level of secret witchcraft she's mastered. Hehehe, under Young Master's Face of Truth, it's really too difficult for a wizard to hide beneath the surface. By the way, Young Master, how's the fifth phase of our Face of Truth project going?"

Beneath the surface of truth, Green smiled.

"Still a bit short, I'll try to finish it before the Demon Hunter Expedition."

Green's fifth phase of the Truth Face Project was actually conceived as early as the Flame Soul World, but due to insufficient accumulated perceptual knowledge, Green could only sigh in vain at this advanced perceptual ability, which was a level higher than ordinary perception.

But nowadays...

After so many years of observation, research, exploration and discovery, Green has finally gained considerable confidence and has successfully started the fifth phase of the Truth Project: Exploration and Perception!

There's a saying among the common people at the bottom of the Wizarding World: "How do you know I'm looking at you if you don't look at me?"

This statement perfectly describes the Thousand-Eyed Cancer. The Thousand-Eyed Cancer has a very unique way of perceiving. In addition to normal light refraction and visual perception, another way for the Thousand-Eyed Cancer to perceive is by sensing any gaze that is directed at it.

Even those terrifying creatures that pass by from outside the world, occasionally glancing in at the interior of the world, and looking at us!

"Young Master, how do we find her? Judging from her previous battle records, they were all long battles lasting more than ten days. How about we play with her for a while?"

Hachi's words seemed to make the Mystery Bird extremely happy. Its seventy-five heads nodded in turn. Over the years, under Hachi's careful care, the Mystery Bird had grown two years older and had become seventy-five heads.

Beneath the surface of truth, Green's sniffing nose suddenly smacked sharply, then he laughed and said, "No, her soul companion has already betrayed her. In the relatively closed and stable environment of this fragment of the world, Green's sense of smell is effectively enhanced a hundredfold."

After saying that, Green disappeared without a trace, hidden beneath the robe of appearance.

Yazhi's soulmate was the seven-colored butterfly at the tip of the magic wand. Its indescribable fragrance was so obvious to Grimm's keen nose that he didn't even need to focus too much on finding it before he discovered its whereabouts. And Grimm just happened to gather information about this soulmate of hers.

After about half an hourglass period.

Beneath the surface soil, Ya Zhi moved silently, her body shrouded in a pale yellow elemental light. The surrounding soil seemed to merge with her, allowing her to travel underground without any hindrance.

After learning some detailed information about Grimm, the Shadow of Despair, Yazhi completely lost the idea of ​​defeating this terrifying demon hunter and becoming the number one on the Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking.

However, as a secret wizard who spends most of his time exploring the world alone on demon-hunting expeditions in other realms, it would be wonderful to have the opportunity to spar with an even stronger secret wizard...

Hmph, this battle even continued until the end of this year's Seven Rings Holy Tower Ranking competition!?

Crackling sounds!

Just then, a terrifying energy fluctuation appeared on the surface of the soil. Ya Zhi, who was moving silently, could hardly believe it. She reacted with incredible speed, and the seven-colored butterfly at the tip of her magic wand and Ya Zhi turned into countless spots of light and disappeared in an instant.

Another half hourglass time has passed.

With another silent black arc of electricity behind her, Ya Zhi's body, who was walking in camouflage, turned into a pool of water and shot out tens of kilometers in an instant, while the black arc of electricity missed its target.

Another half hourglass time has passed.

When Yazhi was discovered by Green for the third time, she was filled with disbelief and despair. After being struck by black electric arcs, she left this fragment of the world.
