Fifty years ago, the Land of Salvation connected to Earth. Since then, the world has undergone global mutations.
When everyone turns eighteen, they have a chance to awaken a Lord's Mark a...
Zhao Ganwu was slightly taken aback and asked, "What trouble is it? Is it some lord or a lone wolf causing trouble and making things difficult for you?"
No, not at all.
Lei Heng shook his head.
He recounted the whole story in detail.
Recently, a Japanese lord named Ken Ito occupied a ruin.
That ruin is very special; only lords and heroes can enter it.
The two sides made a bet and decided to fight one-on-one in a special space within the ruins.
The winner gets to take the opponent's bet.
Ito Ken wagered the legendary Longquan sword, which tempted Lei Heng.
They staked a large amount of resources, even a legendary forging hammer.
As a result, they lost miserably.
"Not only did we fail to win the Longquan Sword, we also lost a lot of resources and that legendary forging hammer."
"Even my hero, the blacksmith, was injured because of this."
"Alas! We've truly lost both our wife and our army!"
"Currently, forging operations within my territory have been severely affected!"
Zhao Ganwu nodded. "So that's how it is!"
"We lost all the fine iron, and the hero blacksmith's forging hammer is gone. Even if I wanted to help you forge those ten thousand suits of armor, I don't have enough resources."
Lei Heng's voice carried a hint of resentment.
He said bitterly, "Now, my mind is completely in turmoil. All I want to do is continue fighting and beat that damned Japanese! Take back everything I lost!"
"This ruin is quite interesting! It's a bit like an ancient gladiatorial arena, where lords and heroes from both sides could duel one-on-one!" Su Bai's eyes were filled with curiosity.
"Yes! This ruin is very special. Under the restriction of a special force, ordinary soldiers can't enter at all! Only lords or heroes can go in one-on-one to fight."
Lei Heng's tone was resolute: "No matter what, I must get that legendary forging hammer back! It's extremely important to me!"
Su Bai pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is that Japanese lord, Ito Ken, very strong?"
"His combat strength is average, but his ability is very strange. He is proficient in the art of invisibility, making him very difficult to deal with!"
As he spoke, Lei Heng sighed again, his expression turning dejected.
Su Bai was slightly taken aback, and then a strong sense of joy welled up in his heart.
What a coincidence!
What I obtained through this prayer is the [Eye of Insight].
You can see invisible units and hidden items.
It's a perfect counter to enemies with stealth abilities.
"What! Invisibility!" Zhao Ganwu frowned slightly. "This ability is extremely rare. Once you encounter someone with this ability, the chances of defeating them are extremely slim."
“It seems my forging hammer is really gone forever…” Lei Heng frowned, his brows furrowed in worry. “If I go to challenge again, I’m afraid I’ll lose even more miserably.”
Just as he was sighing, a loud voice suddenly rang out.
"Brother Lei, I'll help you fight in the arena, defeat Ito Ken, and win back the resources and forging hammer you lost!"
The speaker was none other than Su Bai!
"What! You want to help me fight in the arena?"
Lei Heng stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.
He looked Su Bai up and down again, then shook his head. "Your lord level is even lower than mine. How could you possibly beat Ito Ken?"
"At the very least, let me try once. Even if I lose, it won't cost you anything!"
Su Bai smiled slightly.
The curve of his lips suggested he had already secured victory.
"Besides, I'm not necessarily going to lose!"
“But—” Lei Heng was about to speak.
Zhao Ganwu interrupted him, "Brother Lei, just trust him! He's created countless miracles and is known as the rising star of the Dragon Kingdom. This time, he might just win!"
"Wait! Our nation's rising star? You mean, this Su Bai is the one who topped the list of newly promoted lords this year and has brought multiple national fortune rewards?"
Lei Heng stared at Su Bai, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“How could it be fake?” Zhao Ganwu chuckled. “You must have heard that his symbiotic race is the Zerg. This Zerg hero, Queen of Blades, is the best proof of Su Bai’s identity.”
"The legendary hero lord, revered by hundreds of millions of people in the Dragon Kingdom, is actually standing right in front of me!"
Lei Heng looked shocked, took a deep breath to suppress his emotions, and couldn't help but sigh, "Heroes emerge from among the young! If that's true, it's truly remarkable that someone could carve out a place for themselves among the Zerg!"
"You flatter me!"
Su Bai waved his hand, appearing very modest, "I am just an ordinary lord of the Dragon Kingdom."
"I am also a Chinese, and I have seen the great contributions you have made to all the people of the country!" Lei Heng's attitude towards Su Bai became very enthusiastic.
"Logically speaking, it would be only right to build these 10,000 suits of armor for you free of charge."
"However, having lost a large amount of resources, I will find it difficult to gather them up in a short time."
"It will take another month before we can start building the resources."
A month is too long.
Su Bai couldn't wait.
"Brother Lei, we are both descendants of Yan and Huang, sons and daughters of China!"
"Now, these mere Ito Ken dare to be so arrogant. Even if it weren't for you, I would still fight this match to severely dampen the arrogance of the Japanese and uphold the prestige of our Dragon Nation!"
"Otherwise, they would truly believe that the Dragon Kingdom has no one to rely on!"
Upon hearing this, Lei Heng and Zhao Ganwu were immediately solemn.
"Okay! Then I'll tell you all of Ito Ken's information right now!" Lei Heng seemed very excited, his eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at Su Bai.
It's not just because we expect Su Bai to win back the resources and forging hammers he lost.
It was also because of Su Bai's words that we wanted to dampen the arrogance of the Japanese and promote the prestige of the Chinese nation!
"Damn those sons of bitches! Just hearing the names of those Japanese devils makes me furious!" Zhao Ganwu said angrily.
After Lei Heng's description, Su Bai learned that Ito Ken's fighting skills were very ordinary.
The only standout feature is its ability to become invisible.
However, Su Bai possesses the Eye of Insight, which is exactly what he wants.
“Ito Ken’s lord level has reached level 49! You’re only level 38, are you sure you can manage?” Lei Heng was still a little worried and asked again.
"Believe me!"
Su Bai smiled slightly, his eyes sparkling with confidence.
A lord's personal combat strength is related to their level, skills, and lord's mark.
Lord's Mark can enhance various aspects of a lord's personal attributes, such as physical fitness, mental strength, power, speed, and skill level.
The extent of the enhancement is related to the quality of the Lord's Mark.
Su Bai's Lord's Mark is of the highest-level, supreme mythical quality, and its enhancement to an individual is extraordinary.
