The affirmation of my answer is resolute; I shall never retreat!
My blood is already boiling, my ambition is high, my determination is strong, and I am determined to enter the Water Mist Palace, slay all the monsters inside, and find the Tianlong Medal and Dragon Horse Zither. This is a test of my abilities, a proof of my capabilities, and above all, a manifestation of my confidence in my own abilities.
What others can do, I can surely accomplish. And what others cannot do, I can also achieve. I am a person of such unique charisma and distinction.
Although I may not establish a gang, dominate over others, bully the weak, or seek the title of the world's number one, I aspire to possess great strength. I will train myself, continuously grow and develop my abilities, become stronger, and become a force to be reckoned with.
Becoming a powerful warrior, no one can move me in a PK battle. Only I can successfully strike back and lead my opponents down a path of no return, whether they are alone or a hundred in number. I want them to understand the true meaning of regret and experience the journey of death.
As a powerful warrior, if I want to PK someone, I will. If I want someone dead, they will not see the sunlight again. Regardless of whether they are alone or a hundred in number, if they provoke me, they will not have a comfortable life.
I am determined to follow my own path, enjoy the freedom of the martial world, and enjoy the satisfaction of righting wrongs.
A demon clan genius who obtained a magic weapon before reaching level thirty.
Hmph!
I hope to meet him in the Water Mist Palace. Both of us are at level thirty, and we will engage in a grand battle to see whether the abilities of the demon clan genius are truly extraordinary or whether I, a twisted knight, am even stronger.
Speaking of magic weapons, "King of Glory" updates too quickly. It's hard to believe that yet another magic weapon has appeared. Just by hearing the name, I know it's a good thing. If possible, I will definitely chop down the demon clan genius and take his magic weapon for myself.
As long as they are my enemies, I will kill them. As long as it's a good thing, I won't let it go.
Flying Dragon Blaze Spear and Cold Ice Snow Dragon, the artifacts and divine beasts of the Flying Dragon Paladin Lianya, wait for me. Don't worry, I will make sure you see the light again.
"Stone City, here is a brief summary of what happened. You are ranked first on the four major leaderboards and possess exceptional abilities. We have great expectations for you to help us in the pursuit of humanity's future by entering the Mist Palace and retrieving the Tianlong Medal and Dragon Horse Zither before the demons can get their hands on them.
"Ding dong, Stone City, the commander of the Tianma Knights, Ma Lei, has entrusted you with the sole hidden task of finding the Tianlong Medal and Dragon Horse Zither at the Mist Palace. Will you accept the task?"
"I accept," I replied resolutely, without hesitation. When a decision is made, one should act decisively. That is what true masculinity entails.
"Ding dong, congratulations to the player Stone City for receiving the unique hidden mission of the Tianlong Medal and obtaining a boundary energy stone as a reward."
I took a look at the tips for the Tianlong Medal mission.
Tianlong Medal: A unique hidden mission that requires carrying a boundary energy stone at level thirty. Enter the Mist Palace sealed by the boundary energy needle of the flying dragon saint knight Lianya and find the long-lost Tianlong Medal and Dragon Horse Zither. Upon completing the task, the Tianlong Medal will be automatically rewarded to Stone City, and other rewards will be provided by the Tianma Knight Ma Lei.
The reward of the impressive Tianlong Medal alone had already made me satisfied, but the possibility of additional rewards had me even more delighted.
"Commander Ma, what are the unique characteristics and powers of the Sanctum Knight, my ultimate profession?"
I was very interested in the specific details of the Sanctum Knight, hoping to make some adjustments based on the development of my profession. Wise individuals always prepare for the worst and take the initiative.
"I don't know about that. All I know is that every thirty years, the top three protectors of the sanctuary can become Sanctum Knights. However, no one has ever seen a Sanctum Knight or witnessed them in action, so we are not sure about their capabilities."
The Tianma Knight Ma Lei shook his head helplessly, disappointing me. He knew nothing about the prospects of Sanctum Knights' development. However, this also filled me with hope. The mysterious charm of the Sanctum Knight filled me with a passion to strive for it myself.
It seems that I have to work hard on my own, but that only adds to the fun.
"Stone City, hurry up and level up to level 30. Go to the Mist Palace early and find the Tianlong Medal and the Dragon Horse Zither. Time waits for no one."
The Tianma Knight Ma Lei was truly worried about me, seeing how slow I was.
"Very well, I'll go. Captain Ma, the best herd of wild horses in Tianma City is there. I'm going to catch a warhorse."
There's no need to be in a rush. What's yours is yours, and you can't steal what isn't. Nobody has found the Tianlong Medal and the Dragon Horse Zither in almost a thousand years. We don't need to be in a hurry. It's better to catch a good horse first to solve my problem of not having the aura and style of the top player in King of Glory, riding an ordinary low-grade horse. I look shabby, which won't attract the attention of beautiful girls. I can't let anyone know about it, especially my little sister, the little sorceress Lin Yuxin, or it will be a scandal for the rest of my life.
"To the north of Tianma City is a Star Horse Lake, where a herd of horses gathers and where Tianma often play. However, Star Horse Lake is a strange place. You may find it easily, or you may never find it in your lifetime. Even if you set a landmark and come back to find it again, you may still not find it."
"Is there such a thing? Why?"
"Why? Nobody knows. I've lived in Tianma City for almost fifty years and have searched for Star Horse Lake more than a hundred times. I was lucky enough to get there three times and caught my Tianma Golden Flame Horse from there."
The Tianma Knight Ma Lei was very proud of this.
"Okay, thank you. I'll go level up now."
"Very well, Stone City. You must do your best. We're counting on you."
Watching my back, the Tianma Knight Ma Lei silently prayed to the Tianmeng Goddess, hoping she would bless me. Several top players in the previous level rankings entered the Mist Palace but never returned. Ma Lei hoped that Stone City could change this nightmare and successfully complete the super task of the Tianmeng Continent, the lowest level but impossible for anyone to complete.
After packing my bag and buying medicine, I left Tianma City and headed north to find the Star Horse Lake mentioned by the Tianma Knight.
If something doesn't feel good, the more you look at it, the more displeased and disgusted you become. Looking at the ordinary horse beneath me, I felt frustrated. I became angry and dismounted, throwing it away. Running forward on my own two feet would be more gratifying.
After half an hour of travel, I finally saw groups of wild horses walking leisurely on the grasslands. I inspected them with a keen eye.
Wild Horse: Level 30, HP: 2200. This wild horse is the lowest level horse in Altar Plain.
Skills: Neigh, an active skill that can call on nearby wild horses to attack enemies. Hoof Strike, an active skill that deals immense damage to opponents using the front or back hooves.
Alright, it's time to get to work.
With experience fighting monsters in the Stone Forest, I knew my own abilities. I was not afraid of the level 30 wild horses. I equipped myself with the Dark Undead Golden Eagle King and various skills, brandishing my Skeleton Blade. Charging towards the herd of wild horses, I aimed to break through and continue my journey towards Tianma City to the north.
These low-level wild horses on Altar Plain were rubbish, and I had no interest in them. I ignored them completely and aimed to find higher-level war horses. Sometimes, people must aim high and pursue greater pleasures, ignoring things that are unsuitable for them.
