"In recent years?"
Lin Yuan immediately caught the key point in One-Eye's words.
If the peculiarities of Slaughter Authority had only appeared recently, they were very likely connected to Chaos's pollution!
Yet after thinking for a moment, One-Eye shook his head.
"Well, not entirely in recent years."
"Actually, when Minglong City was first established, it fought quite a few battles with the surrounding city-states. Even then, everyone noticed that Slaughter Authority was exceptionally powerful."
"But at the time, Slaughter Authority was merely among the stronger ones in combat within the same realm. It had no other particularly extraordinary traits, so no one thought much of it."
"Later, Slaughter Authority grew more and more powerful. At some point, those fellows with Slaughter Authority began regularly defeating opponents above their level."
"That was all ages ago. When I made a name for myself and traveled the world, I heard how powerful Slaughter Authority was and wanted to come challenge it."
"Only after fighting did I realize that Slaughter Authority was far, far stronger than the rumors claimed!"
"Later, I learned that Slaughter Authority had actually been growing stronger all along, but for some reason, these past few years have been particularly unusual."
"Especially since the start of this year, the speed at which Slaughter Authority has grown stronger has become increasingly absurd. But no one knows the exact reason."
Hearing One-Eye's words, Lin Yuan could not help feeling somewhat puzzled.
If One-Eye was telling the truth, then Slaughter Authority's peculiarities had existed from the very beginning and had nothing to do with Chaos.
Yet its recent, unusually rapid growth clearly could not be unrelated to Chaos.
Coupled with the sight of "Hundred Dragons Contend" that One-Eye had just mentioned, Lin Yuan only felt that matters were becoming increasingly complicated.
