Chapter 1 The Devouring Flames

Feeling the devouring flames rushing towards him, Lei Su tried to use his protective combat aura to resist, but his protective combat aura had not yet cooled down. As for other defensive skills, there was no time to cast them.

Nie Yan's attack was unexpected. Lei Su's reaction was ultimately a step too slow. He didn't have time to block Nie Yan's Throat Cut attack. The sharp blade struck his throat, cutting it open fiercely. A damage value of over nine thousand floated from Lei Su's head, and Lei Su's health instantly bottomed out.

With a bang, Lei Su fell to the ground.

Complete! Nie Yan put away the Sword of Zennarde in his hand. He was very satisfied with the effect of Throat Cut.

The onlookers outside were not too surprised by this result. From the very beginning of the fight between the two, it could be seen that Lei Su had been in a passive state. Nie Yan's speed was truly unparalleled, making it impossible to parry. However, they also admired Lei Su very much. There were only a handful of players in the entire Greenland Empire who could fight Nie Yan to this extent; there were definitely no more than five.

The players were dumbfounded by the battle between Nie Yan and Lei Su. This was the power of a Shadow Dancer and a Holy Swordsman! Many players slowed down the combat videos of Nie Yan and Lei Su countless times, like slow motion in a movie, recreating the entire battle. Details that they hadn't seen clearly before were all revealed one by one. The players marveled at Nie Yan and Lei Su's grasp of skill timing and their quick reactions.

After slowing down the video countless times, they truly understood what Shadow Dance meant. During the PK between the two, Lei Su, as a Holy Swordsman, had a surprisingly fast attack speed, but his every action was always a step slower than Nie Yan's. He was frequently hit but never managed to attack Nie Yan, and his health was consumed bit by bit. Even with his powerful and unparalleled defensive capabilities and thick health, he was gradually worn down by Nie Yan.

In a situation where classes countered each other, Holy Swordsmen were generally able to easily suppress Shadow Dancers, but under Nie Yan's ghost-like speed, Lei Su seemed to have no power to fight back.

"The official website says that Magisters are stronger than Holy Swordsmen, Holy Swordsmen are stronger than Shadow Dancers, and Shadow Dancers counter Magisters. The three form a triangular relationship. Why does it seem like Holy Swordsmen are countered by Shadow Dancers when watching Crazy Thief Nie Yan and Lei Su's PK? With such powerful speed suppression, Holy Swordsmen have no way to deal with Shadow Dancers at all." One player said, watching the slowed-down video, somewhat puzzled.

"Don't you see who Lei Su's opponent is? Crazy Thief Nie Yan! Crazy Thief Nie Yan's style of play is effective against Lei Su, but that doesn't mean it's effective for other Shadow Dancers. Probably an ordinary Shadow Dancer would just be farmed by Lei Su."

The players thought about it, and that was the truth. Holy Swordsmen had high defense and a lot of health. If they encountered each other in the wild, Shadow Dancer Thieves would not attack Holy Swordsmen because Holy Swordsmen were too difficult for them to deal with. If they took the initiative to attack, they generally couldn't kill Holy Swordsmen. Their only advantage was their powerful escape ability, which allowed them to be invincible. Therefore, the PK between Nie Yan and Lei Su was inherently unfair. Lei Su had a certain class advantage, but Nie Yan was too strong and used his own powerful attributes to bridge the gap in class.

Although Lei Su was defeated, the powerful destructive power of the Holy Swordsman still left a very deep impression in the hearts of the players. Currently, three classes have top professional players, including Holy Swordsman, Magister, and Shadow Dancer. Each top professional player is so powerful, making players have a very strong yearning for top professions. If they can successfully change to a top profession, even if they can't dominate the world like Nie Yan and Lei Su, they can still show off in front of ordinary players. Top professions are undoubtedly a symbol of strength.

The players enthusiastically discussed top professions, all determined to reach level 100 and then go to change professions. They didn't understand how difficult it was to do a job change quest at level 100. Even the top elites of the Niu Ren Tribe, although they each had very powerful equipment, Nie Yan couldn't guarantee that everyone would be able to change professions successfully. It still depended on luck. Among hundreds of thousands of ordinary players, there might not be many who could successfully change to a top profession.

In any case, after this PK, the title of top profession was considered very popular and sought after by players.

After a while, Lei Su resurrected.

Lei Su said somewhat dejectedly and frustratedly, "I lost." He couldn't help but be unconvinced. Even if he fought another match, it would definitely be the same outcome.

"Now it's time to fulfill your promise," Nie Yan said with a faint smile. Lei Su had promised that if he lost, he would join the Niu Ren Tribe.

System: Do you accept Nie Yan's invitation to join the Niu Ren Tribe?

Yes!

System: You have joined the Niu Ren Tribe.

The players of the Niu Ren Tribe were very excited to hear that Lei Su had joined the Niu Ren Tribe. Nie Yan had just fought with Lei Su, and Lei Su's strength was beyond doubt. Lei Su's joining meant that the Niu Ren Tribe had another strongman. Being a warrior as well, Lei Su's strength was completely comparable to Brilliant Cutlass and Smoke Stub. They were very happy about the expansion of the Niu Ren Tribe. They were members of the Niu Ren Tribe, and if the Niu Ren Tribe was strong, they would naturally rise with the tide.

Only a moment later, the news of Lei Su joining the Niu Ren Tribe spread like wildfire outside the Niu Ren Tribe, and this caused a huge shock to them. One strongman after another joined the Niu Ren Tribe. The Niu Ren Tribe showed its powerful development potential and staying power. They all speculated in their hearts how far the behemoth that was the Niu Ren Tribe could go and what it would develop into in the future. Those who had resolutely not wanted to join the Niu Ren Tribe before also had some wavering. If they waited until the Niu Ren Tribe ruled the entire Greenland Empire before joining, it would be too late. Because the major guilds valued seniority very much, the treatment of newcomers who had just joined the guild, no matter how strong they were, would definitely not be as good as that of the old members.

Under the stimulation of the news that Lei Su joined the Niu Ren Tribe, another wave of joining the Niu Ren Tribe formed throughout the entire Greenland Empire.

Nie Yan properly arranged the various affairs of the Niu Ren Tribe and chatted with God of War Lei Su for a while. Since they were both from the First Military Academy and had heard each other's names before, the two seemed very familiar, and there was no problem communicating.

Many warriors from the Niu Ren Tribe came to greet him, welcomed Lei Su's joining, and asked Lei Su for some combat skills for warriors.

Seeing Lei Su chatting happily with the players of the Niu Ren Tribe, Nie Yan withdrew from the crowd. It seemed that he was not needed here. He was about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Lei Su.

Lei Su sent him a message: "Our Tianwang Organization (Heavenly Kings Organization) would like to invite you to join. I wonder if you are interested?"

The Tianwang Organization? After hearing this term, Nie Yan was stunned. He looked at Lei Su not far away, and his eyes were a little different. He couldn't tell that Lei Su was a member of the Tianwang Organization?

Before today, Nie Yan had learned from his father what kind of existence the Tianwang Organization was. This organization had a very profound influence in political, military, and business circles. If he could join the Tianwang Organization, it would be of great significance to the future development of the Tianxia Corporation (Under Heaven Corporation). His father had repeatedly told him that if he had the opportunity to join the Tianwang Organization, he must enter it at all costs and just tell him if he lacked anything. Nie Yan naturally kept his father's earnest instructions in mind.

Since there was an opportunity to join the Tianwang Organization, he must not miss it!

"Can I meet your person in charge?" Nie Yan asked. He seemed very cautious. The Tianwang Organization must not be offended. If Lei Su was a member of the Tianwang Organization, and he could join the Tianwang Organization through Lei Su's introduction, Nie Yan would naturally be overjoyed, but he couldn't appear too anxious, lest he overdo it and ruin everything.

Seeing that Nie Yan was very interested, Lei Su immediately replied, "Of course, our person in charge has been waiting for you for a long time."

After watching Nie Yan's fighting video and after PK with Nie Yan today, Lei Su admired Nie Yan very much. If Nie Yan could join the Tianwang Organization, he would definitely be ecstatic. Therefore, he didn't think too much when speaking.

Lei Su's words revealed a piece of information to Nie Yan. It turned out that the Tianwang Organization had been paying attention to him for a long time, so the probability of him joining the Tianwang Organization was even greater.

"What are the requirements and taboos for joining the Tianwang Organization?" Nie Yan asked. Under normal circumstances, these relatively mysterious organizations have their own strict organizational discipline. Nie Yan didn't want to be too restricted, so he had to weigh the pros and cons. If joining the Tianwang Organization was beneficial to him, he would definitely be happy to join. If it didn't help him and he was also subject to the organization's constraints, it would be too uneconomical.

Lei Su talked about the origins of the Tianwang Organization and then said, "We don't have many requirements for each member. You can join freely, and you can also request to withdraw. However, during the period within the organization, members must help each other without harming their own interests."

Lei Su's words dispelled some of the doubts in Nie Yan's heart. It seemed that the Tianwang Organization was still quite open-minded. It was just a mutual aid-style alumni association. What was worth paying attention to was that the members of the Tianwang Organization were all guys who had powerful connections and influence. Their power was very amazing.

Nie Yan didn't know what those people saw in him. The fact that those people invited him proved that he had a certain value to them.

"If you agree to join the Tianwang Organization, you can contact me when you go offline later. I will send you my phone number later," Lei Su said.

"Okay, thank you," Nie Yan nodded.

Seeing that Nie Yan agreed, Lei Su smiled slightly. Since the creation of the Tianwang Organization, no one has rejected the Tianwang Organization's invitation. It was a matter of course in his opinion that Nie Yan agreed to join: "I hope we can get along well in the future."
