Ten years ago, there was a qualifying challenge held in the Principality of Crook, and it was the first time that the Principality of Crook was selected by the Academy of Light as one of the competition countries.

And in that year's qualification challenge, there was a genius who shook the whole country - Bin Finger, that is, the Venus student who Sean once said was extremely qualified and has now become a high-level giant.

Habia III also had an idea during that qualifying challenge, but because he was not fully prepared in advance, and because of Bin's birth, three royal children participated, but in the end, only one of the children obtained the qualification of the Holy Light Academy.

And His Royal Highness the Prince, because he was too arrogant and domineering in the Holy Light Academy, offended a certain big man and was secretly assassinated.

As a result, the Duchy of Crook and the only person who has a relationship with the Holy Light Academy are gone, and the lord of Habia III cannot take revenge in anger.

Just because that big man is a prince of a middle-level dynasty, his own strength is not bad, and his status is even more respected, with the background of a small country in the Principality of Crook, he really can't afford to offend.

This time, Habia III sent his two best sons to participate in the qualification challenge, in order to hope that they would be qualified as students of the Holy Light Academy, so that the Principality of Crook and the Holy Light Academy could reconnect with each other.

And with the strength of these two princes, if Butian had not broken through before, it would be difficult to win, and naturally easily won the first place in the seeding tournament of the two big cities, and then obtained the qualification to participate in the peak duel, which attracted a lot of attention.

But among the thirty-six contestants, even if you don't mention these two princes, their royal highnesses. Another young contestant is also quite famous.

Bu Tian listened to the discussion of the contestants around him, this indifferent, silver-haired young man named Arnold, was a rising star in the mercenary world of the Principality of Crook.

He single-handedly killed a mid-level 3 monster and completed a D-level mercenary mission.

The mid-level 3-level Warcraft is a much stronger Cunzài than humans of the same level, but this guy named Arnold can be killed alone with low-level strength, no one knows how he did it, only that Arnold was also seriously injured afterwards, and it took several months of recuperation to completely recover from his injuries.

After this life-and-death battle, Arnold's strength has greatly improved, and he has stepped into the middle level in half a step, becoming a quasi-middle-level storage zài, and he has become famous for a while, becoming the most high-profile new star in the mercenary world of the Principality of Crook. Most people believe that if Arnold does not die in the future, he will definitely achieve the peak of the middle level, and even hope to be high-level.

"Low-level strength... Slay mid-tier Warcraft... Even if that demonic beast was seriously injured, it was not something that could be competed with by a mere low-level strength. Bu Tian half-squinted, looking at the silver-haired Arnold, and secretly wondered in his heart about this person's powerful methods.

The hole cards that can kill mid-level demonic beasts are dangerous enough to threaten Butian, and he can't afford not to pay attention to them.

His gaze observed the other party for a while, so as not to arouse the other party's vigilance, Bu Tian looked away and swept to a woman with black eyes and black hair sitting opposite.

"Mu Yan... "Looking at this woman, Butian was silent in his heart. He already clearly knew the identity of this woman, and the representative player of the Star and Moon Alliance was also one of the two major opponents that Count Warren explained to Butian and told him to be cautious.

I saw a person of the same skin color as myself, with black eyes and black hair, and she was still a woman, and even her name was full of oriental colors. Although Butian had a turbulence in his heart, he had already guessed in his heart because of the impact of Na Yaheng in advance.

Now that he suddenly saw such a woman who looked like the East, Butian was surprised, but more thoughtful.

Maybe he had already paid attention to Butian, and when he noticed that Butian's gaze was sweeping, Mu Yan put down the wine glass in his hand, and a pair of black eyes also looked over, staring at Butian, but he didn't have too much expression, and his expression was cold.

Although it is in a hostile relationship, it is only a grudge between the Aydra family and the Star and Moon Alliance, and although Butian is involved in it, he will not have emotional substitution because of this. Therefore, on the surface, Bu Tian still smiled and nodded, and then looked away and looked at the other person.

This person is the one who competes on behalf of the Miso family. This person's name is Bowen, his strength is mediocre, his appearance is mediocre, and his short coffee-colored hair is glued to his head, so he can't see anything unusual.

While Butian was looking at this person, Bowen seemed to be aware of it and also looked over. But after seeing that the person who observed him was Butian, his complexion instantly became a little unnatural, and his already white and blue face was even more like a zombie, as if he was very afraid of Butian.

In this person, Bu Tian didn't pay too much attention, compared to the Mu Yan of the Star and Moon Alliance, although this wave of text is also one of the opponents, it is obviously much lighter in weight.

After all, with that Mu Yan's quasi-mid-level strength, if he had a more powerful killer weapon, it was enough to threaten him

As time flies, the second half of the dinner is tepid until the end.

When Habia III retired, everyone stood up and sent them off, until Habya III completely left, and no one stepped out of the hall, and Butian followed Sean out of the Fahua Palace.

When I came to the outside of the hall, the night was deep and the cold was pressing.

Patches of white snow suddenly fell from the sky, and this snow was like ice and rain at first, hitting people's faces and turning into a trace of cold water, mixed with the clusters of flower beds around the Hokke Hall, a unique cold fragrance in the night refreshed people's hearts.

Looking up at the starry night sky, Butian stretched out his hand and felt the temperature of the snowflakes falling in his hands, the temperature was cold but hot, the cold was the snowflakes themselves, but the hot ones were the lives that the snowflakes burned instantly.

The life of snow turns into water, melts into ice, returns to nothingness, and returns to heaven and earth. Short and eternal, brighter than an epiphany, brighter than a meteor, this is a sigh of life like a moth to a fire.

When the Butian people returned to the castle in the carriage, the outside world was already snow-white, and although they couldn't see it clearly at night, they could feel the cold to the bone.

The wind whined, and the snow fell, like a group of demons dancing wildly, sweeping the land. In a room in the castle, Butian stood by the windowsill, looking out the window, and his figure did not move for a long time.

"At today's dinner, I have observed almost all the players who have seen the summit duel. With my current strength, no one else can pose a threat except for a limited number of people. If things go well, then there will definitely be a place for me in the student quota of the Holy Light Academy. Butian's eyes showed a thoughtful look, and he secretly calculated in his heart.

"Even so, I think that Gaia should have a lot of means, even if he is eliminated, the rest of the quasi-mid-level masters should not be underestimated. For example, those two princes, their highnesses, have the resources of the entire principality to cultivate, and it is difficult to guarantee that there are no powerful combat skills or amplification equipment, and I can't take it too lightly. ”

"And that Mu Yan... Arnold... It's not easy. Relatively speaking, among these people, I know Renault well. Moreover, with Renault's strength, he has just stepped into the quasi-intermediate level, and I am afraid that among these people, he will be ranked lower. Butian thought about it so carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he felt.

If he hadn't been lucky enough to step into the middle rank, I'm afraid that with his previous strength, it would be difficult to compete with these people at all, at most comparable to Renault. And I don't know if any of the remaining contestants have hidden their strength and pretended to be pigs and eat tigers. If there are still people who hide their strength, then this peak showdown, with the strength before Butian broke through, it is difficult to squeeze into the top ten.

"Let's not mention these things for the time being, after all, I am now a mid-level powerhouse, and the top ten in the peak duel is tantamount to finding out for something. Now it's even more alarming that Hawke... Whether or not it really trails. If he had followed, where would he be now? With his unpredictable concealment, I'm afraid even Sean would be hard to detect. ”

Thinking about this, Bu Tian was also feeling cold in his heart, and unconsciously glanced around the room, and at the same time, his spiritual power followed.

For a long time, I didn't notice anything unusual.

Shaking his head self-deprecatingly, Bu Tian was amused by his suspicious behavior.

Thinking about it, even if Hawke really sneaks here, as long as the other party doesn't want to be noticed by him, with his strength, he will definitely not be able to find out the other party. His investigation seemed a little self-sufficient.

Secretly groaning in his heart, Butian's eyes flickered, as if he had made some kind of decision, and he stepped out of the room.

"Knock... Knock knock..."

There was a knock on the door, dull and clear, as it reverberated through the empty cloisters of the castle.

The knocker on the door was Butian, who was standing outside the door of Sean's room. There were two members of the elite team who were in charge of guarding the corridor standing at the end of the corridor, but they knew Butian, so they didn't stop them.

After some deep thought in the room, Butian still couldn't hold back after all, and he had to find a backer because of the pressure from Hawke, as well as the potential threat from the Star and Moon Alliance, the Miso family, and even the Arthurian royal family.

With his current strength, it is still enough to protect himself against people of the same level, but if he faces Hawke and several big forces that have been across the Principality of Crook for a long time, he is really a mantis arm. In this way, the shape is already imminent, and there is no room for a trace of slackness. Besides, he was still thinking about another thing, and wanted to finish it after the peak showdown.

With a creak, Sean's door opened silently.

Butian looked inside, but did not find Sean's figure, and immediately guessed that Sean should have opened the door with magic.

After tiptoeing into the house, Butian closed the door and walked towards the room.

The room was pitch black, there was no light, Bu Tian could only hear his own heartbeat, but he couldn't feel Sean's breathing, with the strong vision of the vampire physique at night, he could also see the many layouts in the room.

After a sweep, Butian was surprised to find that there was no Sean in the room.
