The announcement of the opening of the 15th level Greater Rift caused an uproar among adventurers in both cities.
The taverns, the streets, and the training grounds were all in an uproar.
"The Wilderness Guardians? They've descended upon the border between White Dove City and Red Heart City? Doesn't this mean a war is inevitable?!"
"Go, Lord Fry! Go, Lord Slo! Let the thieves of White Dove City know what a seasoned adventure team is all about!"
"I heard the Crimson Adventurers aren't planning to intervene... Oh well, let's let White Dove City off the hook. With the Bloody Baron in charge, they won't even have a chance to fight back."
In contrast to the challenger mentality of White Dove City, the adventurers of Red Heart City were singing and dancing, celebrating their victory a week in advance.
Last time, in the level 10 Greater Rift, a considerable number of adventurers in Red Peach City were robbed by Linda and her group.
Those who weren't robbed also had a very bad impression of Linda, calling her "the ringleader of thieves" or "the ultimate pervert."
"Just wait and see! I heard that Lord Frye has invited Slo. With [King of Strength] Slo taking action, the thieves of White Dove City will only suffer losses!"
[Power King] Slo, the strongest star-rank in Red Peach City, is stronger than Daven of the Crimson Adventurer Group. He is a super adventurer who is both offensive and defensive, and is even more terrifying than monsters!
There are still 7 days until the opening of the 15th floor of the Great Secret Realm, but the tickets for the Red Peach City Cinema Building sold out in just one afternoon.
This clash between cities has attracted millions of adventurers eagerly awaiting its arrival.
Discussions were everywhere about who was stronger, Linda or Slo, and which city's adventure team would win. Even the elementary school students at the Adventurers' Academy, who were still learning about life skills, would enthusiastically discuss this during breaks.
On one side is the [Eye of Truth], which excels in defense and has an extremely high recovery rate.
On the other side is the "Power King," a man who excels in both offense and defense, standing at 2.5 meters tall and resembling a humanoid beast.
Both have been featured in the Adventurer's Weekly, one with a potential of nine stars and the other eight stars...
Their names spread like wildfire, and even many adventurers in Xuanfeng City knew of Linda and Slo.
In White Dove City, everyone without exception believes that Linda will win.
Even the haters of the Phoenix Flower Adventure Team stood firmly on Linda's side in this battle concerning the city.
Analysis of the two cities' Iron-level adventure teams has been published one after another.
Linda could see that White Dove City was underpopulated, and other smart people could naturally see it too.
Including Abner and the others who are recovering from their injuries, White Dove City has a maximum of forty people, while Red Heart City can gather more than a hundred people at most.
The huge disparity in the number of Star-Rank Adventurers was like a bucket of cold water poured over everyone's heads.
When this battle is mentioned, many people's first reaction is to sigh, and then they curse with resentment, "Those bastards in Red Peach City only know how to bully the weak with numbers!"
The reporters wanted to interview Linda and get some inspiring words to motivate the adventurers in White Dove City.
Strangely, the three adventure teams—Luanweihua, Xueyan, and Binghua—seemed to have vanished into thin air, disappearing from public view.
No matter how lively the discussions were outside, none of Linda and her associates at the center of the incident stepped forward to express their opinions.
The following day, a "historical" report written by Kami, the editor-in-chief of the White Dove Morning Post, quietly began to be sold.
This report, from its title to its content, is both wild and disgusting, making it a "historical" news story.
The author does not guarantee the authenticity of the information; it is up to the reader to judge for themselves.
The excitement of the opening of the 15th level of the Greater Rift hadn't even died down when the adventurers in White Dove City were stunned into despair by this wildly sensational report.
Unfortunately, the person involved is engrossed in something and hasn't yet discovered this horrible report.
...
That morning, inside a training building on Central Avenue.
The rooms on the fifth floor and above are enclosed and offer a high degree of privacy, ensuring you won't be disturbed by others.
In the dojo-like space with its wooden floor, Linda stood panting alongside two girls.
They haven't left the training building since they entered yesterday.
All members of the three adventure teams gathered for final special training before the opening of the 15th level of the Greater Rift.
"Are you ready? We're about to go!"
"Come on, we can do it this time!"
"I will try my best!"
In front of them was a huge blue slime model, a "dummy" specifically designed to take hits, capable of withstanding attacks from Moon-rank adventurers.
Linda, Lia, and Isa simultaneously let out low growls, shooting towards the giant slime like three arrows.
They assumed different sword-drawing stances:
"Poison Dragon Roar!"
"Sparkling Stream Slash!"
"Ice Blade Waltz!"
Then--
boom!
Fireworks explode with three colors of energy: purple, red, and ice blue.
Linda and the others flew out like little plastic figures.
Failure was expected.
Linda cast the [Azure Shield] on everyone in advance. With his terrifying HP boost, the shield's thickness reached 8232.5, almost enough to withstand the ultimate skill of a star-level adventurer.
Incidentally, Linda subtly inquired about the exact thickness of Leah's life barrier.
With 5 million gold coins sponsored by the Chaoyang Foundation, Leah has upgraded her equipment and now has approximately 9,500 health points.
As a burst-type front-line warrior, Leah's 9500 HP is quite high; even Chrona only has 9000.
The latter figure was obtained by Linda from Monica. Krona trusted Monica and told her about all her abilities without reservation.
In comparison, Isha's health is much lower, around 6500 points. Isha's class role is similar to Abner's: high output and high agility, but defense is a weakness.
