Chapter 79

"Short on people? Then I'll introduce an expert to you," Zhao Li laughed. "Coincidentally, he asked me yesterday."

"Oh?" Pang Yun asked: "How long has he been in the intermediate zone, what's his ranking, and what category of lord is he?"

"He's been in the intermediate zone for a month, a plant lord."

"Only a month, and a plant lord?" Pang Yun frowned, "Then forget it, I don't want a burden."

"Don't be anxious, listen to me finish," Zhao Li said. "Although he only entered the intermediate zone a month ago, his performance in the beginner zone would absolutely drop your jaw."

"He entered the Glory Battlefield less than three days before the three-month mark."

"A month ago, that is, before entering the intermediate zone, he had already rushed into the top 100,000!"

"Not bad," Pang Yun nodded. "However, it took me a month and a half to rush into the top 100,000 for the first time."

"Think carefully again," Zhao Li smiled. "He entered halfway through, not when the Glory Battlefield first opened."

"At this time, he was already half a year behind in point farming time."

"Yet he rushed into the top 100,000 in two months. Do you still think your month and a half was stronger than his?"

Pang Yun's expression changed, and he realized it too.

Yes, it took him two months to enter the top 100,000, but he entered right when the Glory Battlefield opened.

At that time, everyone's points were on the same starting line.

While Zhao Xing entered half a year later.

At this time, his points were already too far behind.

Yet he entered the top 100,000 in just two months!

What kind of concept was that?

It was equivalent to others running for half a year first, Zhao Xing running later, and then still catching up.

"Really?" Pang Yun was suspicious. "Is it really that exaggerated? Who is it? Do I know him?"

"I can guarantee it's absolutely true," Zhao Li said.

"His name is Zhao Xing, from the Jiangnan District. I can introduce you to him."

"If you agree, I'll call him over, and you two can chat."

"Okay." Pang Yun was also curious about this person Zhao Li mentioned.

Not long after,

a figure appeared in the ancient castle.

"Look, he's here." Zhao Li stood up with a smile, and Pang Yun also stood up to welcome him.

"A-Li." Zhao Xing greeted him. Having known each other for a while, their relationship was familiar enough that he followed his friends in calling Zhao Li that.

"Come, let me introduce you."

"This is Pang Yun. He comes from the 'Jialan Academy', which is on par with Daxia Academy. He is a mechanical lord. Pang Yun is now ranked over 40,000 in total points."

"Pang Yun, this is Zhao Xing, a genius from Anping Academy in the Jiangnan District."

"I know Anping Academy," Pang Yun laughed and shook hands with Zhao Xing. "Ten years ago, a brilliant genius named Lieutenant Helian Lie came out of there. I didn't expect another one to appear now."

"Brother Pang Yun, you flatter me," Zhao Xing laughed modestly. "Senior Brother Lieutenant Helian Lie is the pride of Anping Academy; I cannot compare to him."

Anping Academy was not famous among the many academies on Azure Star.

Many people hadn't even heard of it, but following Lieutenant Helian Lie's graduation ten years ago,

he had been advancing by leaps and bounds for ten years, repeatedly making military contributions, and becoming an Imperial Count.

At 25, he became a transcendent-level lord. Lieutenant Helian Lie is only 29 now.

The advancement of martial arts lords is much harder than normal lords; being able to become a transcendent means he is also much stronger than the average transcendent.

Being under thirty and achieving transcendent martial arts is naturally astonishing enough.

Thus, Anping Academy was also mentioned repeatedly.

It could be said that Lieutenant Helian Lie had indeed made the academy proud of him.

"Haha, don't stand, sit down and chat," Zhao Li greeted the two to sit down.

Then he steered the topic to the matter of forming a group.

"Zhao Xing, you are A-Li's friend, so I won't beat around the bush," Pang Yun said directly: "Our group has four intermediate lords who have broken into the top 100,000."

"There are six others around the 150,000th place."

"The rest of the group members all have decent battle achievements and at least one transcendent troop."

"However, we fought a fierce battle the day before yesterday, lost quite a few troops, and quite a few people left, so I have to replenish a batch of new group members."

"So I need an expert, an expert who can lead the team!"

"At least you must be able to ensure that while leading 9 group members, you can deal with over 40 alien lords."

"If you can help, I owe you a favor."

After Pang Yun finished speaking, he stared at Zhao Xing; his words were very straightforward.

He wanted an expert, not someone to freeload in the group.

If you can't meet the requirements, say so early.

If you can do it and are willing to help, then he, Pang Yun, owes you a favor.

With Pang Yun's family background and his own talent, the favor was still quite valuable.

"This requirement is no problem," Zhao Xing nodded. "I can agree."

"Good. Then many thanks, Brother Zhao," Pang Yun's face revealed joy.

After all, before Zhao Xing came,

Pang Yun had also watched Zhao Xing's battle replays in the beginner zone.

He could even handle a thousand-man group!

Although it was said that the strength of enemies in the intermediate zone and the beginner zone was different,

just from the few transcendent troops Zhao Xing displayed,

he was also a very powerful force in the intermediate zone!

"Brother Zhao, do you have any requirements?" Pang Yun asked. "For example, distribution of spoils, financial compensation, etc."

"You can mention whatever you want."

"No need," Zhao Xing smiled. "Brother Pang, distribute it however you did before; no need to mention money."

"I only have one requirement."

"Please speak," Pang Yun said.

"When you replenish the group members for my team, try to find me as many people as possible."

"Find more people?" Pang Yun frowned. "Finding more people will also result in more enemies."

"The hundred-man group itself will randomly encounter some small teams, and we also have to control the risks."

"I know Brother Zhao, you are very powerful in the beginner zone, but the intermediate zone is different after all; enemy strength, rules, etc., have all changed."

"Then Brother Pang, you can arrange it as you see fit," Zhao Xing didn't say anything more.

After all, having not fought together, Pang Yun, who had experienced a failure, would certainly have some psychological shadows.

After fighting in a group once, he could bring it up again, and he estimated the other party would be able to accept it.

"Okay," Pang Yun said. "I'll go arrange it. A-Li, I'll take my leave first."

"I'm leaving too," Zhao Xing also stood up. "Brother Pang, just call me when you're ready."

"Walk slowly," Zhao Li waved, watching the two leave the ancient castle.

Facilitating this matter, he was also very happy; this way, both Pang Yun and Zhao Xing would have to thank him, the middleman.

The significance of holding a gathering lies here.

For Zhao Li, the favors of geniuses are the most precious.

…………

Intermediate zone, Base 100.

"I didn't expect things to be settled so quickly."

"I was originally thinking that finding a group would be very troublesome."

"Now, not only have I found one, but I've also made Pang Yun owe me a favor," Zhao Xing looked at the message Pang Yun sent.

His team of three hundred people was basically from Jialan Academy.

And Pang Yun and another person, Xiao Lin, were the leaders of all the students.

A fierce battle had caused the students' troops to suffer losses, and even quite a few martial arts lords were seriously injured.
