Slaughter Authority Rank

After the "Final Judgment".

Roger's body shrank at a rate visible to the naked eye.

The effects of Titan Concoction also disappeared.

He transformed back into his normal form as Sub-Angel.

now.

All the feathers on his body had been used up, leaving only a faint white light covering everything.

The Sub-Angel's "Final Judgment" is considered a powerful move.

It takes an extremely long time for a feather that has been shot out to grow back.

Fortunately, Titan Concoction has a long period of weakness.

After six months of rest and recuperation.

Those feathers should have grown out by now.

to be honest.

Roger was extremely tired! His physical strength and energy were almost completely exhausted—even with his "Overflowing Energy" special ability—the energy consumed by his gigantic body was simply outrageous.

Don't be fooled by the fact that he only casually punched Leviathan a few times.

The energy consumed by those punches.

It's many times stronger than the normal form of the Mountain Splitting Fist! If it weren't for the Sub-Angel had a constitution of 17 points...

He probably fainted long ago.

Even so.

He can barely maintain a flying posture now.

But it's not time to rest yet! Right now.

Roger gritted his teeth.

He flew high into the valley, surveyed the surrounding landscape, and finally took out a bright token from his pocket.

That was the Jade Spring Token he had obtained before!

Besides being used together with the Clear Wind Token as the key to the secret vault, this treasure is also...

There is another function.

"Jade Spring Token (Treasure): You have the power to reopen the Clear Spring Sect Mountain Gate once."

"Prompt: Do you wish to select this location as the site for the reopening of the Clear Spring Sect Mountain Gate?"

The next second.

Roger released the token; his voice wasn't loud, but it was incredibly powerful and penetrating:

"Roger, Clear Spring Sect Leader."

"The mountain gate is reopened here today."

After saying those two sentences.

A dazzling light burst forth from the Jade Spring Token.

The radiance shone into the seawater above the river valley.

A dreamlike mist rose up.

"Boom boom boom!"

A slight tremor came from underground.

In the blink of an eye.

A miniature mountain appeared in the mist.

The small hill slowly rose upwards following the radiant light cast by the Jade Spring Token.

Amidst the almost numb, astonished gazes of onlookers.

The hill grew bigger and bigger.

Just a few minutes later.

A celestial mountain appeared in the sky above the river valley plain, a mountain many times more majestic and imposing than Truth Mountain!

The sacred mountain was towering and craning into the clouds.

Looking at it from top to bottom.

attic.

Flying bridge.

Courtyard wall.

Flowing water.

The waterfalls and cliffs are interspersed with white clouds, and the white walls and gray tiles are adorned with lush greenery.

No matter who takes a look.

My heart is filled with only solemnity and a sense of vicissitude.

"Notice: The opening of Clear Spring Mountain is complete, and the Mountain Protection Array has been restarted."

The next moment.

Waterfalls cascade down from all directions of Clear Spring Mountain.

It eventually landed on the river valley plain.

The water of this waterfall seems to possess a spirit.

Driven by the energy of the Mountain Protection Array, they spontaneously flowed into the distance.

The clear spring water rushes through the valley.

They flowed joyfully across a region spanning hundreds of miles.

Heading east.

The clear spring water flows through the mountains, past the New District, across the Ruins Area, and finally turns north, encompassing one-third of Gem City's territory.

Immediately afterwards.

They traversed the Primitive Forest forest, brushing past the "Scar of Death," and encircled much of the southern forest within their territory.

The same applies to the west and the south.

A significant portion of what was originally part of the "Xi Long Woodland" and "Southern Tomb Wilderness" is now surrounded by this clear and expansive river.

Half an hour later.

A Clear Spring River, flowing around the fairy mountain and across the earth, naturally took shape.

Just in time.

A huge golden-feathered bird flew in from the southwest horizon.

"Super-Sense Link: Your dearest friend, Prince Larion the Emperor Eagle, requests interaction."

"Larion: I'm here! I flew here with my people as soon as I received your message. I even fought a group of Harpy on the way. Hmm, where are the enemies? I'll show them what Prince Larion is all about..."

Faced with the late-arriving Emperor Eagle.

Roger's heart skipped a beat.

He shed his Sub-Angel form, transformed into human form, and then stepped onto the back of the Emperor Eagle! The next moment.

Hundreds of Emperor Eagle, slightly smaller than Larion, flew in from the southwest.

They chirped merrily and flew in circles around Clear Spring Mountain.

Although there are no cranes.

But there is an eagle.

This scene was deeply imprinted in the hearts of everyone present.

In the end.

Roger's voice came faintly from the horizon:

"After that, my sect revived martial arts and accepted many disciples."

"The place through which the Clear Spring River is the site of our sect's practice."

"Trespassers will be killed without mercy!"

"You have defeated Vilan's alien army and completed the mission of reopening the mountain gates."

Your feat today will be perceived as an 'anomaly' by the following groups: those with a perception level of 17 or higher; mages or other spellcasters who have used a crystal ball to divine the ' Gem City Event' or the ' Martial Artist Event' within the past month; bards of level 10 or higher; and a small number of ordinary people.

The section on the anomalies was skipped.

Roger then instructed his men to clean up the battlefield.

Then he rode the Emperor Eagle to Clear Spring Mountain.

In front of the "Saint Tiger Pavilion" where the leader resides.

Exhausted to the extreme, Roger prepared to do one last thing.

Finish this task.

He went to rest.

now.

Standing in front of Roger Cisco face was filled with awe and a little bewilderment.

He had some injuries.

However, it did not come from an enemy.

It was actually Roger's Extinguishing Sword Qi.

Roger stared intently at Cisco for a long time.

final.

He got straight to the point:

Would you like to become my disciple?

This was not a spur-of-the-moment decision.

Another reason Roger took this guy from the Assassin Alliance was that he sensed a talent for Martial Artist in Cisco!

After earning the title of "Discerning Eye".

He is very sensitive to highly perceptive geniuses.

He quickly realized that Cisco was indeed a good candidate for Martial Artist.

However, this person was originally an assassin.

Unlike the zither, which has a clean and innocent origin.

So Roger secretly observed him for a period of time.

The observation results are satisfactory.

Cisco is actually a very pure person; he is obsessed with assassination and will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.

The fundamental reason lies in this.

Deep down, he desperately wanted to become stronger.

This is very helpful for practicing martial arts.

However, there are also certain hidden dangers.

However, given his outstanding performance, Roger was willing to give him a chance.

"I do!"

Cisco was very excited.

He knelt on one knee, about to say something, but then stammered, "But... could you... add one more?"

Roger was somewhat surprised.

He immediately realized. "Stephanie?"

Cisco nodded somewhat embarrassedly.

"She can be a disciple."

Roger said calmly.

Although he didn't understand the difference between a disciple and an apprentice, Cisco still accepted with immense gratitude.

At present.

Roger told him how to get in and out of Clear Spring Mountain.

He then briefly explained the rules of the Clear Spring Sect and the matter of the zither to him.

"Go to the mountain path and find those militiamen. Ask them if they are willing to become disciples of the Clear Spring Sect."

"If they're willing, let them join."

"For others, report first, then observe, and finally test."

After explaining all of this...

Roger then sent Cisco away to get to work.

And himself.

He then plunged headfirst into the "Saint Tiger Pavilion".

I lay down and fell asleep.

He was so tired.

While Roger was sleeping.

The gargoyle stood faithfully guarding the door.

Without even blinking.

Time passed day by day.

Under the influence of the unusual phenomenon.

The story of "Roger single-handedly annihilating an army and the master opening the mountain gate with one hand" began to circulate wildly around Gem City.

Because some Adventurers from the Paramount Manor have appeared in the city.

Therefore, his past stories were gradually unearthed.

Even the floating island incident, which Truth Mountain had been trying to cover up, was exposed.

In a short time.

Roger of the Clear Spring Sect became a true figure of fame in Gem City.

A large number of people flocked to the west.

Not to mention the Martial Artist in the New District.

Even people in other professions.

I also want to join the Clear Spring Sect! However, although the Clear Spring Sect has been established...

However, on the one hand, they faced a shortage of manpower, and on the other hand, Roger set very strict standards.

Apart from the militia members on the mountain path, whose Martial Artist had already proven their character and courage and successfully became disciples of the Clear Spring Sect.

Everyone else had to undergo a lengthy assessment.

In this way...

The Clear Spring River in the New District suddenly became the most prosperous area in Gem City.

People don't talk about that unpredictable and magical Floating Cloud Palm every day.

It was like Final Judgment, as if a god had descended to earth.

More and more people are starting to try their hand at becoming Martial Artist.

And that Truth Mountain, which is also suspended in the air.

But it started to become deserted.

Three days later.

South of the Southern Tomb Wilderness.

It is located near a port city more than 1,000 kilometers away from Clear Spring Mountain.

Splash! The waves crashed against the rocks.

Inside a complex and gloomy seaside cave.

A barefoot girl is sorting the seashells she has collected.

There was a shallow pool of water beside her.

The girl's eyes kept darting between the seashells and the pool water.

A short while later.

The water began to surge.

The girl's face lit up with joy.

Pop pop pop! As the Bubbles rose to the surface, a burly man with disheveled hair and a dirty face emerged from the pool.

He lay down by the pool, took a few deep breaths, and then heard the girl laugh and say, "I've found out about the strange phenomena from a few days ago."

"It's because an angel who knows martial arts appeared in the north, claiming to be the leader of some Spring Water Sect, and he built a huge mountain that hangs in the sky..."

She talked on and on for a long time.

Suddenly, I noticed that the burly man's expression was a little off.

What's wrong with you?

She asked.

The burly man suddenly leaped out of the pool.

"Screw underwater cultivation."

"We've finally found a clue about the sect..."

"From now on, I, Ji Qiu, have someone to rely on!"

As they were talking.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

The girl's expression was full of surprise. She thought for a moment and asked softly:

"Mister Ji, is that legendary Martial Artist even more skilled than you?"

The burly man laughed loudly:

"I'm only close to being an 'Ascended One'."

"But as far as I know..."

"The leader of the Clear Spring Sect is at least at the level of an 'Immortal'."

"Come with me."

"Let's go to the Clear Spring Sect."

"From now on, we'll never have to worry about being hunted down again..."

The girl's face flushed slightly.

Then he nodded slightly.

The two quickly started packing their things.

A similar scenario.

They appear intermittently throughout Mystra.

Those who have received some of the Clear Spring Sect's inheritance.

They all started heading towards Gem City without prior arrangement.

Five days later.

Roger, having barely recovered his strength, finally walked out of "Saint Tiger Pavilion".

"Owner."

"The spoils of this battle are temporarily stored in the warehouse on the east side."

"I calculated the total value three times, and it's over 4600 Gold Disc..."

Wu Gu skillfully handed over a thick roll of parchment.

This battle yielded many gains.

It far exceeded Roger's expectations.

The inventory of the spoils of war was no longer done piece by piece.

Instead, it's Warehouse after Warehouse!

He took the list, glanced at it briefly, and then found a place to sit down.

No rush.

He spoke to Wu Gu.

The latter wisely stepped aside.

Roger picked up a cup of chrysanthemum tea and took a sip.

Then open the data panel.

They began to review each item one by one.

Among those pale blue characters.

He immediately noticed a red notification.

"Hint: You have single-handedly defeated a thousand soldiers, demonstrating an astonishing talent in the Slaughter Domain."

"Ascension Road: You have gained 0.01 Slaughter Authority Rank, thus embarking on the ' Ascension Road '"

"Slaughter Authority Rank: You possess unparalleled cognitive, learning, and comprehension abilities in the Slaughter Domain;

My broadband expired, I'm so frustrated! Luckily, I still have a hotspot. I'm humbly begging for subscriptions and monthly passes.
