Ji Xinghuo was sweating like rain in the training room, suddenly stopped his movements, wiped his sweat and walked into the living room, and saw a familiar figure.

"Starfire-kun!"

As soon as Jiang Nan Caiyi pushed the door in, she saw Ji Xinghuo, and her face showed surprise: "When are you coming back?" ”

"A few days ago." Ji Xinghuo replied with a smile.

You don't have to ask to know that Jiangnan Caiyi is back to do sanitation and take care of Ren Mian's garden.

"Isn't the Starfire Monarch going to hunt the Beiluo Clan?" Jiang Nan Caiyi asked.

Ji Xinghuo was stunned, he didn't tell Jiang Nan Caiyi that he went to the Star Boundary Defense Line, and suddenly felt a little strange, "How do you know that I am a bounty hunter?" ”

"Huh?"

Jiang Nancaiyi didn't figure out the situation for a while, but she quickly understood it and said with a smile: "Xinghuo-kun, it turns out that you don't know yet!" Together with a few friends, you hunted down the legendary Dagon, and this matter is in the news, and many people know about it! ”

"Is it sensational?" Ji Xinghuo really didn't know the situation.

"It wasn't a sensation, it was the third hot search in China that day." Jiang Nancai also vaguely knew that it was inconvenient for Ji Xinghuo to return to Earth, so he said in detail: "Your friend named Jing Ji has been interviewed several times, and everyone pays more attention to him, although you are mentioned, but not much. ”

"That's good."

Ji Xinghuo smiled and nodded, this was what he asked Jing Ji to do.

Jiang Nan Caiyi chuckled, "There is one more thing, Xinghuo-kun, you have climbed the global ladder." ”

"I'm going up the ladder?" Ji Xinghuo was quite surprised.

"This was decided by the ADC after an investigation, and an Inhuman file was created for you." Jiangnan Caiyi said: "They think that you participated in the killing of legendary powerhouses, and also set a single-month point record, and your record is excellent, which is enough to prove that your strength exceeds that of most super Inhumans, and you can be on the list." ”

"However, you have too little information and data, and you can't interview you in person, so you are not given a high ranking."

Speaking of this, Jiang Nan Caiyi's expression was a little strange.

"Xinghuo-kun, can you guess what rank you are on the ladder?"

Ji Xinghuo thought for a while and guessed: "More than nine thousand? ”

Jiang Nan Caiyi shook her head.

"It can't be more than eight thousand, right?"

Ji Xinghuo felt that with his own strength, there was no problem in entering the top five hundred, or even the top hundred.

If ADC really has a vision, with some clues, he can guess that he is by no means at the bottom of the ladder.

Jiang Nan Caiyi shook his head again, but no longer sold Guanzi, and said softly: "It's the 10,000th." ”

"The last one?" Ji Xinghuo was stunned.

There are a total of 10,000 places on the global ladder, and he is the last. Although he doesn't care much about the rankings and doesn't want to pay too much attention at the moment, it's a bit funny to be in last place.

Sometimes, the last one is quite noticeable and easy to remember.

It's better not to be on the list.

Jing Ji, Yuan Chongzhen and Alex, before Ji Xinghuo met, they already had a ladder ranking.

Jing Ji ranked more than 700, Alex was about 1,000, and Yuan Chongzhen was ranked outside 3,000, and after killing the Legendary Dagon, their rankings would inevitably rise a lot.

In comparison, his 10,000th seems like a joke.

Jiangnan Caiyi also hugged him upset.

"The people in the ADC Ladder Center are too discerning, and the ranking of Xinghuo Jun must be at least in the top three hundred to be reasonable."

"Did they give a reason for the ranking?" Ji Xinghuo asked again.

For each Inhuman on the ladder, the ADC will give some key comments.

Jiangnan Caiyi said: "They think that you are just an intermediate ranger, and you have been an Inhuman for less than a year, although your record is bright, but the information is insufficient, it remains to be seen, so you are at the bottom of the list, and it is valid for six months." ”

This validity period means that you will not be squeezed off the list for six months.

Unless there is a new record, it will always be last.

"That's reasonable." Ji Xinghuo thought about it at this time, and said with a smile: "They don't know me, they only know that I am an intermediate ranger, and they are willing to rank me up the ladder, which is already good." ”

It is very rare for an intermediate Inhuman to ascend the ladder.

The ladder is basically full of super Inhumans, there are very few high-level Inhumans, accounting for less than one percent, and there are only a few intermediate-level Inhumans less than ten.

Ji Xinghuo didn't think about it anymore and asked, "Caiyi, how are you preparing for your promotion to Super Inhuman?" ”

"The star power is still a little short, and I'm already choosing the star glands." Jiang Nancaiyi talked about his own situation, but his interest was not very high.

"Come on!" Ji Xinghuo cheered her on.

The two chatted for a while, and Jiang Nan Caiyi began to get busy.

Ji Xinghuo also continued to go back to cultivate.

Jiang Nancai has an advantage when he is there, that is, there are people who cook, and there is no need for restaurants to deliver food. However, Jiangnan Caiyi only stayed for one day and returned to Earth.

Ji Xinghuo returned to the days of solo cultivation, and went out once a day to participate in actual combat training at the Extreme Dao Martial Arts Hall.

The star power gradually increased, breaking through 450 points.

If you continue to cultivate like this, it won't take two Astral Moons for your star power to reach the upper limit of the intermediate level, triggering the third life evolution.

At that time, it is expected that the star power will be around 500 points.

This is already similar to the star power of ordinary high-level Inhumans when they are approaching the fourth evolution, however, Ji Xinghuo himself is not satisfied.

There are several abilities that can be upgraded.

For example, Thousand Dexterous Hand and Aether Affinity, both abilities are level three, and only more than a thousand points of spiritual energy can be upgraded to level four.

Every time a life evolves, there is a chance that it triggers an ability that advances, and it merges deeper with itself, so you can't miss it.

The higher the ability level, the more likely it is to trigger an advancement.

But there is no spiritual energy!

The cultivation lasted for half a month, and Ji Xinghuo finally couldn't hold it back.

The severed position of his left arm had long since healed, and he didn't see any traces of the break, and he didn't feel any sequelae, so he packed his bags again and set off for the Sword Valley Fortress.

The Sword Valley Fortress is located in the south-east of Olympia, almost 500 kilometers away from the East Pole Pass, the Midpoint Fortress and Olympia.

By airship, it took more than four hours to arrive at the Sword Valley Fortress.

There are more than seventy fortresses or fortresses on the Astral Boundary defense line, and the geographical importance of the Sword Valley Fortress can be ranked in the top ten.

As the name suggests, the fortress is built in a narrow canyon more than ten kilometers long, with straight cliffs hundreds of meters high on both sides, and less than 200 meters at its narrowest point.

The size of the city and garrison of the Sword Valley Fortress are far inferior to the Midpoint Fortress.

The danger of occupying the terrain does not require too many garrisons at all.

Ji Xinghuo had heard Yuan Chongzhen say before that there were only two legends in the Sword Valley Fortress, and the combined armies of various countries were less than 30,000 people.

Combined with bounty hunters, civilians, merchants, and various facilities and staff serving the military, the permanent population of Sword Valley Fort is about forty or fifty thousand.

Ji Xinghuo walked in the narrow fortress and stayed in a hotel.

This hotel is very well equipped, with archery range, training room, martial arts arena and swimming pool, etc., the environment is private, the service is first-class, and of course the price is higher.

Ji Xinghuo didn't care about this.

This time he came to the Sword Valley Fortress, his plan was to be relaxed, and he would not hunt as intensively as he did in the Midpoint Fortress last month, so as to avoid causing too much impact on the enemies in this defensive line, the hunting range should also be expanded and dispersed.

In this way, it can flow smoothly and safely.

After settling down, Ji Xinghuo went out to find Yuan Chongzhen and found someone in a hotel not far away.

"Starfire!" Yuan Chongzhen was greatly surprised when he saw Ji Xinghuo, and stood up suddenly, "I thought you were just talking, but you really came!" ”

Ji Xinghuo stepped forward and hugged him, and said with a smile: "Why aren't you welcome?" ”

"Of course welcome!"

Yuan Chongzhen patted Ji Xinghuo on the shoulder, there were three other people beside him, all dressed as bounty hunters, and introduced: "Come, let me introduce to you, this is Ji Xinghuo, the powerful ranger I told you." ”

Then he introduced three people to Ji Xinghuo, all of whom were his friends, two men and one woman.

They looked at Ji Xinghuo, full of curiosity.

Ji Xinghuo still looked like a ranger, wearing ceramic steel light armor, carrying a black compound bow, and a war knife hanging from the left side of his waist, but what was a little strange was that in addition to the compound bow and quiver on his back, there was also a long sword, which was contained in a thermoplastic scabbard, and the hilt protruded from his left shoulder.

Ranger can be used near and far, and usually is equipped with melee weapons, but it is rare to find a complete sword like Ji Xinghuo.

Yuan Chongzhen also noticed the long sword that Ji Xinghuo was carrying, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

Who would have thought that this sword was a super three-star weapon worth over 100 million?

Ji Xinghuo sat down.

He chatted with Yuan Chongzhen and the three bounty hunters, and one of the bounty hunters suddenly said: "I went back to Earth a few days ago and saw that you were in the 10,000th in the ladder, and Brother Yuan was in the 2407th. ”

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward.

Although this bounty hunter's tone was relaxed, he didn't seem to have any malicious intent, but Ji Xinghuo heard it, the other party was also a ranger, and he was a little unconvinced that Yuan Chongzhen was touting himself so much.

Ji Xinghuo didn't care.

If others are not convinced or not, what does it have to do with themselves?

On the contrary, Yuan Chongzhen's face sank, "Junjie, do you doubt Xinghuo's strength?" ”

"I didn't mean that, I'm just a little curious that an intermediate ranger can also participate in the battle against a legendary powerhouse......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Yuan Chongzhen: "Do you think that everyone is like you, a high-level ranger, and only dares to hunt one or two lone enemies?" The enemies that Starfire hunts in one day can withstand you for two months. Don't talk nonsense about things you haven't seen, there are more geniuses in this world who are better than you! ”

"I ......" the ranger still wanted to argue.

Yuan Chongzhen was not interested in listening, "Xinghuo can go up to the ladder, even if it's the last place, when will you go up the ladder to show me?" ”

The ranger blushed and couldn't speak.

"Chongzhen, don't say a word." Ji Xinghuo hurriedly came out to play the round, "Junjie has no malice, they are all friends, just a few jokes." ”

"Okay, let's not talk about it." Yuan Chongzhen immediately nodded, "Drink!" ”

The three bounty hunters all saw it.

Yuan Chongzhen, who usually speaks the same, has a completely different attitude towards Ji Xinghuo than towards others, and he seems to put himself in a lower position.

However, Ji Xinghuo himself doesn't have any shelf, talking and laughing with everyone, just like an ordinary bounty hunter.

Ji Xinghuo asked about the defensive line near the Sword Valley Fortress from time to time.

When he was full of wine and food, Ji Xinghuo rejected Yuan Chongzhen's offer to hunt the enemy together, and now he just wanted to act alone.

That same evening.

Ji Xinghuo went out and returned to the Sword Valley Fortress at dawn.

On this night, he harvested more than twenty loot and handed it over to the bounty office, and the bounty and points he received were not much.

Spiritual source energy got more than 30 points.

Ji Xinghuo threw himself into the ether affinity, rested for a few hours, and then started a day's cultivation in the training ground of the inn.

In the evening, he went out again to hunt the enemy, and returned with the loot at dawn.

Day after day.

Ji Xinghuo never attacked the entire patrol, and generally only killed the bounty hunters of the Beiluo Division, and cleared out the small number of secret posts, which was within the normal casualty range of the two defensive lines.

Sometimes, he would run to a distance away to hunt targets and disperse the enemy's casualties.

Therefore, it did not attract the attention of the Beiluo Division.

The spiritual energy harvested every day is very stable, between 30 and 50 points, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.

The "Night Moon" passed in a blink of an eye, and when it entered the "Extinguishing Moon", Ji Xinghuo had already upgraded the Aether Affinity and Thousand Dexterous Hands to the next level.

Neither ability is leveled up.

Aether affinity is (Level 4 1/7079), and Thousand Dexterous Hands is (Level 4 1/4987).

Star power has also grown to more than 470 points.

Just when Ji Xinghuo was about to continue harvesting spiritual source energy, upgrading the Golden Scale Iron Spine to the fourth level, and then promoting the high-level Inhuman in the Sword Valley Fortress, an unexpected thing happened.

The three arrows in the Vientiane Star Pupil interface, the largest one, suddenly moved significantly!
