Professionals distinguished by military merit command respect for their tangible contributions to humanity. Lin, achieving the rank of five-star private at merely 23, stands as a testament to extraordinary prowess, far surpassing many who struggle to reach three-star status by 30.
Lin rose, declaring, "This is our duty."
"Excellent!" the knight responded with a laugh, signaling departure. "Since there's no peril, we need not linger."
Shi Xingan noted, "They usually patrol the distant battlefield, always ready to heed a distress call."
"And watch, more will arrive."
True to his word, the fog soon churned intensely.
Teams converged from every direction, drawn by the distress signal. Witnessing this, Lin was filled with a sense of communal faith: a commitment to unity and mutual aid, vital for humanity's survival against the abyss.
As the responding teams realized the absence of danger, they took the opportunity to rest, swelling their numbers and filling the dungeon's entrance with life.
Among them, Lin spotted several lone professionals, whose solitary presence in the meta-battlefield spoke of their immense confidence.
A brilliant light then pierced the sky, heralding Mo Yun's arrival on her unicorn, an embodiment of sacred grace. Despite concluding the battle had ended and no danger lingered, Mo Yun's proud and untouchable demeanor caught everyone's attention, including Zhou Lesheng's, though she departed with a disdainful glance at Lin.
Shi Xingan shared that Mo Yun, a renowned sacred summoner, was likely in search of the Nirvana Crystal, a rare artifact promising significant professional advancement. The crystal's allure was evident, as even Shi Xingan eyed it with desire, understanding its power to transform one's career path from rare to legendary.
The conversation shifted towards the Battlefield Ghast and the elusive ghost king as potential sources of the crystal, underscoring the challenge and rarity of acquiring such a transformative item.
Amidst these discussions, Ning Yiyi and Lin agreed to seek the Nirvana Crystal together, embarking on a quest filled with unknown potential and excitement.
After a brief respite, fueled by the rejuvenating qualities of delicious fruit wine, Lin and Ning Yiyi re-entered the dungeon, while Shi Xingan and his team ventured onwards, exploring new challenges across the vast, dragon-inhabited battlefields.
