I have an endless army of warriors, rampaging across the heavens.

Chapter 114 Level 10 Assassin, Limitless State! [Major Overhaul!]

"never mind."

"Don't say that."

Zuo Jing looked at Murong Qizhen: "Tell me again, what realms are there above the eighth and ninth levels?"

Murong Qizhen had long since become obedient, answering every question—

"Martial arts practitioners start from the ninth level and move up to a higher level, focusing on using internal energy to develop and temper their physique."

"Ninth tier, the skin is as tough as a drum."

"Tenth level, muscles as if alive."

"Eleventh step, muscles taut like a string."

"Twelfth level, bones forged like steel."

……

Zuo Jing blinked: "The old eunuch is only at the ninth level, which is already considered top-tier in the Great Yan, right? There are actually three levels above him? Have any of you reached that level? Otherwise, how would you know?"

Murong Qizhen frowned.

He's starting to have doubts now—

There are so many assassins underground!
So many extraordinary people again!
I originally thought they must have a deep connection with 'Blessed Land', but now it seems that this so-called underground society's chief steward is a complete novice who doesn't know anything about 'Blessed Land' at all. Otherwise, why would he ask such a stupid question?

Weird!
Weird!
Two possibilities—

First, the underground has nothing to do with the blessed land.

Second, this chief steward is a fake. He is not a high-ranking member of the underground society, so he has no access to the secrets of the underground society and therefore does not know more about the 'blessed land'.

Murong Qizhen leans more towards the second possibility.

……

"Seventh rank is already very strong."

"There are even stronger than the seventh rank!"

A strong player has a strong player.

Zuo Jing knew very well that he was not the kind of person who practiced martial arts in the traditional way and relied on his own hard work to fight his way through.

That's too dangerous.

At level four, you can easily crush level three, but nobody knows when a level five will suddenly appear and crush you.

You are strong.

Others are stronger.

You become stronger.

There are even stronger people out there.

There is no end to the competition; there will always be someone better than you. It is not only dangerous but also oppressive.

"The broken jade is still better."

I don't care what kind of expert you are!
When Zuo Jing was only a level 7 or 8 assassin, he encountered level 5 or 6 experts. Level 8 assassins were no match for him.

But what does it have to do with Sakyo if the assassins can't win?
It's not harmful at all.

Let alone encountering someone one or two levels higher, even if Zuo Jing were to meet a peak 12th-level expert right now, he wouldn't be afraid.

No matter how high you climb, there will always be loyal bodyguards to deal with you.

If we can't handle the assassins for now, then we'll wait until we have more assassins, until the Jade Remnant is upgraded, and until more and stronger assassins are produced before we go back to fight.

As for Zuo Jing himself.

He's not going out to play by himself anyway; that would be too beneath him, and there's really no need for it.

That's just how I am.

'It's pretty good.'

Zuo Jing has a clear train of thought.

Simultaneously.

He also knew very well—

'It's not that because I've risen in prominence, the number of experts in the world has increased, and their overall level has risen accordingly.'

'Instead, there are many masters of this caliber in the world; it's just that I was too low-level to access them before.'

It's like going to school in a previous life, where you only encountered village-level 'strongmen' in elementary school.

When they reach junior high school, they encounter "strong" individuals at the town level. Because the base number is larger, the "strong" individuals that emerge are naturally even stronger.

Then in high school, you'll encounter 'stronger' players at the county level, who are even stronger.

Once you've overcome all obstacles and been admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University, you'll find that Tsinghua and Peking University students, who were once rare even in a city or province, are now everywhere here, and everyone is one of them.

There are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people.

This law was already fully demonstrated in the process of advancing to higher education in my previous life.

Now that we've come to Great Yan, the path of martial arts is not much different from the principle of 'advancing to higher education'.

Once you're at a certain level, you'll naturally make contact.

'actually.'

"In terms of individual combat strength, even the highest-level level 6 assassins I can currently field only have a base physical constitution that is six times stronger than others, comparable to a sixth-tier internal organ expert. However, in actual combat, they are no match for a sixth-tier expert who can freely circulate their internal energy."

'Level 10 Death Soldier Ultimate State—'

'Lone Wolf +1;'

'Three stages of Blood Burn +3.'

'The limit is 10 times the physical ability.'

"wrong."

"If 'Blood Burning' is combined with 'Mind Matrix', by consuming the lives of low-level assassins in the Mind Matrix, it can break through 'Three-Stage Blood Burning Attribute +3' and further enhance it."

Sakyo tried it once—

'Three-stage Blood Burning' + 'Mind Matrix' + '36 Deaths Per Minute' = Attribute +4.
in this way.

再加上孤狼的1，便是6+4+1=11倍。

"Extremely extreme. A level 10 assassin can achieve 11 times the physical strength. In theory, he is only slightly weaker than an eleventh-level assassin. He should have no problem fighting a level 10 assassin or even a weaker level 9 assassin."

But the cost is also high.

It would take the deaths of 36 low-level assassins per minute to maintain this.

360 people in ten minutes.

Two hours of fighting, 4320 destroyed!

"I can't afford this!"

"This is really too much to bear!"

It can only be used in special circumstances.

Under normal circumstances, try the standard playing style.

At least.

Currently.

Even against ninth- or eighth-level experts like the old eunuch and Murong Yunhai, a level ten assassin with hundreds of low-level assassins can easily defeat them, and even kill a lone expert.

It's already very strong.

……

Sakyo knew what he was doing.

He then asked Murong Qizhen, "What rank are you?"

Murong Qizhen's eyelids twitched, and he said in a deep voice, "Ninth rank, the skin is as tough as a drum."

really!

"I'll tell you!"

Zuo Jing was not surprised at all.

This Murong Qizhen looked like the kind of person who appeared weak on the surface but actually had the aura of a hidden big shot. He saw right through him and was indeed exceptionally talented, even a level above Murong Yunhai, just like the old eunuch Wei Zhengxian.

Zuo Jing perked up: "The skin is as tough as a drum, what do you mean?"

Murong Qizhen said expressionlessly, "At this stage, by nurturing and tempering with internal energy, the skin and membranes of the whole body are made incredibly tough, even more so than cowhide or armor, making it difficult for ordinary sharp blades to penetrate."

So strong? !

Zuo Jing's interest was piqued: "Show me how you make a cut."

"..."

That's very presumptuous!

Murong Qizhen was unwilling to argue with Zuo Jing. He picked up the precious sword that had just beheaded the old eunuch Wei Zhengxian, and with a clang, the sword struck his arm, leaving only a white mark.

What the hell!

That's impressive!

"Even a steel knife can't pierce the skin!"

"Is this even human?"

Sakyo screamed in his heart.

It shocked him for a hundred years.

Murong Qizhen explained, "If other experts were to imbue their weapons with internal energy, I would also need to use my own internal energy to achieve the same effect. In that case, it would be a matter of applying and counteracting the opponent's internal energy. However, for a lower-level expert, a ninth-rank expert is like someone who is always wearing inner armor that can be enhanced by internal energy. Assassinating them would be extremely difficult!"

That's really strong!
Zuo Jing gave him a thumbs up: "How did you reach the ninth level? The old eunuch is only at the ninth level, and Murong Yunhai is only at the eighth level! Does the court have any other ninth-level cultivators?"

Zuo Jing, in his dealings with Murong Qizhen, regardless of whether it was presumptuous or not, would relentlessly press him for answers as long as he wasn't killed.

If you have the ability, why not ask directly and clearly? Do you want to sit and wait like an ordinary martial arts practitioner, with your master, elders, and big shots hiding things from you, not knowing this or that, which is incredibly frustrating?
No need!
I won't take that insult!
