The world doesn't need succubi to save it.

Moreover, the other party was able to command such a terrifying undead as a horse.

Considering all of this, could this really be Ning Feng...?

Andrew was aware that Ning Feng had connections with legends and even some special connections.

But can Ning Feng really maintain such a relaxed demeanor inside?

That makes one think.

Are his connections really that strong?

In the Star Chaser competition, everyone is equal, and external relationships cannot be brought into play.

Jasmine's family greatly prides themselves on and boasts about their policy of "treating all participants equally!"

To this end, they even had a proper Jasmine participate each time, so that she could be thoroughly tested and refined.

No one knows the true intentions behind Jasmine's actions. Some say it's a self-inflicted wound to gain acceptance from others, while others say it's to make these heirs experience something different.

But at least Andrew felt that a second-tier Watcher from the city of Sands could have the background to change the rules that the Jaslin family had followed for years.

That's highly unrealistic.

Or, does he have some special relationship with Jaslin's family?

As for whether or not to enter the palace?

Do I even need to ask?

"Forget it, let's not think about it for now. We finally have a clue, let's follow it and see."

The main gate is guarded by soldiers, making it extremely difficult to sneak in.

Should we take the risk and give it a try?

Not at all.

Who says you have to enter through the main entrance?

Andrew's professional habits, honed over the years, have meant he's never been one to use the front door.

"Let's go through the back door, after all..."

Keeping his body low to the ground, he moved quickly through the thick darkness of the night.

"Going through the back door is safer."

……

……

"Excuse me, could you please move aside?"

Ning Feng calmly shifted his gaze from Sophie, then nodded slightly to Anthony, who had inexplicably blocked his way and was displaying hostility towards him, and said politely:

"You're blocking my way, sir..."

His gaze swept over the family crest on Anthony's armor, then he looked into the other's eyes and spoke softly:

"Guard."

!

!

Anthony's expression stiffened, his brow twitched suddenly, and he was about to explain.

But just before he could speak, Ning Feng's next words made him completely lose control.

"Oh? Sorry, I misread it."

Shaking his head apologetically, Ning Feng bypassed Anthony, whose expression had softened slightly, and directly advised Sophie:

"Miss Sophie, please keep an eye on your dog and don't let him block the way."

As Anthony drew his longsword from his waist, his aura surged, revealing the arrogance and power he had been suppressing.

"Anthony! No way!"

Sophie's tense voice did nothing to make Anthony stop; instead, it was like pouring cold water on hot oil.

boom!

An inexplicable anger surged within him and erupted, which he could no longer contain.

Fourth tier!

Even with the strength of a fourth-tier near-peak, he was just one step away from being qualified to touch the threshold of legend.

Clang.

The longsword, adorned with ornate runes, was suddenly drawn from its scabbard, gleaming with dazzling, iridescent light.

knight.

Moreover, they are arcane knights with a certain level of spellcasting ability.

The magnificent longsword was about to be pointed at Ning Feng...

winter.

Rod's tall figure emerged from behind Ning Feng, staring blankly at Anthony.

!

!

"You are... that Rod?"

Previously, Rod had kept his head down and Anthony hadn't noticed him, but at this moment he suddenly recognized who was behind Ning Feng.

Among the more than 1,000 participants, there were a few special individuals whom Anthony made a point of remembering.

They may possess special abilities, have certain backgrounds, or simply be exceptionally capable.

And Rhodes is that kind of person.

They have a good reputation among the wild Awakened and are among the top contestants.

Bloodlineage, fourth-tier berserker.

Why would such a strong individual, who always acted alone, obediently cower behind Ning Feng and play the role of a guard?

Does he have connections?

Lowering his voice, Anthony stared intently into Ning Feng's eyes, trying to find any timidity or unease within them.

But all that could be seen was a deep, all-consuming darkness.

There wasn't even a reflection of anyone else.

Do not……

Anthony sensed that beyond the darkness, there was a mockery of his reckless actions.

The mockery was undisguised and blatant.

Kakaka.

The sword made a crisp sound as it was gripped in his hand. Anthony felt his anger being fueled. He deflected Rhodes's knuckle duster with his sword and stared intently at Ning Feng, saying:

"Don't think that just because you have him protecting you, I won't dare to lay a hand on you!"

Ning Feng shook his head in confusion, not understanding why the other party would harbor such hostility towards him.

I don't even know you.

"Sigh... This is really inexplicable."

When he raised his head again, crimson shone from his eyes, like a burning flame that instantly spread across the land!

A blood-red flame was brewing in his eyes, and Ning Feng's gaze was so sharp it was almost frightening.

A chilling crimson hue stared into Anthony's eyes, which showed signs of fluctuation.

The slender fingertips rose up, suddenly magnified in Anthony's eyes.

chi chi chi...

The dazzling light on the sword made a loud noise when it touched the fingertips.

It started to darken at the point of contact, then turned gray, and finally turned black...

!

!

“Making a lot of noise in the palace is very disrespectful to the king, and it is also very impolite for a nobleman.”

Ning Feng gently brushed aside the sword's edge with his fingers, and his fingertips remained unharmed.

He turned his head and smiled at Sophie, who was standing behind Anthony with a complicated expression:

"It's a pleasure to meet you here, but unfortunately I don't have time to catch up with you right now."

"If you need, I can teach him some basic etiquette later, some basic manners that will help him not embarrass himself in public."

card.

With his teeth clenched tightly, just as Anthony was about to shoot without regard for anything else, he felt a familiar, cold sensation emerge from behind him.

!

!

"The king is still waiting for you in his study; please do not keep him waiting."

The maid who was leading Ning Feng suddenly spoke, causing Anthony's expression to change. He instinctively moved away from her as if fleeing.

From other people's perspective, it means that Anthony finally made way for them.

"Of course, please lead the way."

Ning Feng nodded to the maid and followed behind her knowingly.
