"Trying to kill me... what the hell?"

Damn it, you're a max-level boss coming to kill a little player like me, does that even make sense?!

Jiang Chen was feeling completely out of sorts.

"It's about to begin."

The Sword Saint Wu Ming spoke slowly, his right hand gripping the sword hilt at his left waist.

"Zheng!"

The long sword unsheathed, resonating like a dragon's roar.

"Is this for real?"

Seeing the opponent draw his sword, Jiang Chen's heart seemed to skip a beat.

His expression tightened, and he quickly retreated.

"Having this speed at your level, not bad."

Wu Ming commented as he casually swung his sword toward Jiang Chen.

Immediately, the sword glowed with a green light, and a streak of green Sword Qi followed!

The speed of this Sword Qi was so fast that it was in front of Jiang Chen in the blink of an eye.

"Blink!"

Jiang Chen dared not take the Sword Saint's attack, a blue rune mark lit up on his forehead.

His figure vanished from the spot, instantly teleporting toward the city gate.

The green Sword Qi missed its target.

"A skill for escaping."

Wu Ming murmured softly, then lightly tapped the ground with his toes.

A shadow trailed behind him as he shot toward Jiang Chen with incredible speed.

"A movement skill? Can you be any faster?!"

Seeing the opponent suddenly appear in front of him, Jiang Chen was at a loss for words.

His Blink skill allowed him to teleport 20 meters, yet the opponent could catch up with just one move?!

Ridiculous!

Despite his surprise, Jiang Chen didn't stop for a moment, quickly running toward the city gate.

"Wonder if you can dodge an area skill?"

Wu Ming looked at Jiang Chen and called out softly, "Sword Qi Storm!"

If you discover this tale on Amazon, be aware that it has been stolen. Please report the violation.

He held the long sword upside down, briefly gathering strength before swinging it again.

This time, it wasn't just one Sword Qi, but countless!

Above Jiang Chen's head, numerous Sword Qi swirled like a storm, all shooting toward the ground!

The range was so wide, it covered nearly thirty to forty meters!

"Good thing the cooldown for Vanish into Void is over!"

Thanks to the Eye of Illusion's compatibility increasing to 4%, the cooldown for Vanish into Void was shortened to 25 minutes.

It was just in time to use it now.

A black light circle appeared in Jiang Chen's eyes, and he instantly vanished from the spot, entering the void.

He could clearly see, in the grayish-white transparent world outside, countless Sword Qi shooting toward the ground.

In an instant, they were all exhausted.

Meanwhile, Jiang Chen didn't stop, continuing to run toward the city gate.

2.4 seconds later, Jiang Chen reappeared, closer to the city gate!

"A skill for invincibility."

Watching Jiang Chen, Wu Ming murmured softly, then quickly took a few steps forward.

"Almost in the city!"

Seeing the city gate less than ten meters away, Jiang Chen breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"In such a hurry to get in?"

Wu Ming seemed unwilling to give up, calling out once more, "Sword Qi Great Wall!"

He held the sword in one hand, the tip pointing downward, and suddenly lifted it upward.

As his sword tip moved from bottom to top, a green air wall rose from the ground in front of Jiang Chen, over ten meters high!

This wall was entirely composed of green Sword Qi!

Moreover, these Sword Qi were wildly dancing, blocking Jiang Chen's path.

"Showing off now?"

Jiang Chen's gaze sharpened, and a pair of white wings formed behind him, propelling him straight into the air!

"Has flying ability!"

This time, Wu Ming's face finally showed a hint of surprise.

And Jiang Chen, relying on his wings, flew directly over the Sword Qi wall, heading into the city gate.

Just as he was about to enter the city, the Sword Qi Great Wall behind him suddenly shattered!

Several sharp Sword Qi instantly struck Jiang Chen's back!

"Damn, am I gonna die here?"

Jiang Chen could feel the Sword Qi hitting him!

-7

-6

-6

...

In total, five damage numbers appeared above Jiang Chen's head.

"Doesn't hurt?"

Standing at the city gate entrance, Jiang Chen was stunned, turning back to look at Wu Ming in confusion.

Could the Sword Saint Wu Ming have no damage?

Impossible!

Then why did these Sword Qi only deal single-digit damage to him?

Jiang Chen was increasingly puzzled.

"Has escape skills, invincibility skills, flying ability, defense is slightly low..."

The Sword Saint Wu Ming looked at Jiang Chen and concluded, "Can be classified as S-level difficulty!"

After speaking, he sheathed his sword, returning to his scholarly demeanor, completely different from when he was fighting.

"What is this... what does S-level difficulty mean?"

Jiang Chen could sense that the other party didn't intend to kill him, but he truly didn't understand this behavior.

"Bro from the Mortal World, someone posted an assassination mission at the Adventurers' Guild, and the target is you."

Wu Ming approached Jiang Chen with a warm smile.

"Posted a mission to kill me?"

Jiang Chen was taken aback, then asked in confusion, "Are you here to complete the mission?"

"No, I'm here to determine the mission's difficulty!"

"Determine the mission's difficulty?"

"Exactly, when anyone posts a mission at the Adventurers' Guild, the guild staff will determine the mission's level based on its difficulty."

Wu Ming explained with a smile, "So I needed to test how difficult it is to kill you."

"Wait, aren't mission difficulties usually set directly by the guild staff, do they need to be tested one by one?"

Jiang Chen was a bit confused.

He knew that the Sword Saint Wu Ming was indeed an honorary president of the Adventurers' Guild.

Moreover, the Adventurers' Guild allows you to take on missions and post them, with each mission graded by difficulty.

It's not strange to determine mission difficulty.

But is it necessary to test it personally?

He had never heard of such a thing before!

"You're a bit different, the guild staff initially set your mission at B+ difficulty."

Wu Ming said slowly, "But I've heard both Lord Qian and Teacher Bei Ming mention you, especially Teacher Bei Ming, who speaks highly of you! So, I thought the difficulty wouldn't be that low, hence the test."

"So, now the mission to kill me is S-level?" Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow.

"That's right." Wu Ming nodded.

"Can I know who posted the mission to kill me?" Jiang Chen asked.

"It's naturally one of you adventurers from another world, but this person chose to post the mission anonymously, and we need to keep it confidential." Wu Ming replied.

"Alright, I'll find out myself!"

Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully, then said somewhat dissatisfied, "Sword Saint Bro, what if you had killed me just now?"

"Rest assured, I had already sealed my attributes and didn't exert any force, all skills were just for show, couldn't kill anyone."

Wu Ming chuckled. Then he said, "Alright, I've informed the Adventurers' Guild staff that the difficulty of killing you is S-level. As compensation, you can go to the guild and claim an S-level adventurer badge, you have the capability."

"Claim an S-level adventurer badge?"

Jiang Chen was stunned.

An S-level adventurer badge meant he had become an S-level adventurer!

He could take on all S-level and below missions from the Adventurers' Guild.

Moreover, S-level adventurers have many privileges, such as purchasing S-level items from the guild, accessing S-level confidential information, etc.

In the Adventurers' Guild, that's like being a big shot!

In his previous life, Jiang Chen had spent over half a year, completing mission after mission, to raise his adventurer level to S-level!

This time, he became one just by dodging a few moves from the Sword Saint Wu Ming!

"How about we go a few more rounds? I think I can level up even more!"

Jiang Chen looked at the Sword Saint Wu Ming with eager anticipation.
