Born Sacred-Chapter 64: Planning!

Noah’s expression remained unchanged. Orion Cross’s attributes were not exaggerated, but unlike Sam Barnes, it was not easy to determine his level within the instance. Therefore, he couldn’t use this to guess the strength of those martial arts masters, especially the first-rate masters who were the mission targets.

"Let’s gather information first." Noah looked at the ancient city in the distance.

The ancient city was named Camelot City.

After entering the city, the five people dispersed to inquire about information.

Noah walked casually on the street, and when he saw a valuable target, he used the Eye of Investigation to cast a scan.

There were many martial artists in the city. From their conversations, Noah gained a clear understanding of the strength levels of martial arts practitioners.

In the current martial arts world, the Blade Saint and the Sword God stood high above, regarded as super-first-rate.

Below these two beyond-the-rules individuals, they were divided into first-rate, second-rate, third-rate, and unranked.

If first-rate masters were Bosses, then second-rate and third-rate masters were elite monsters, and unranked martial artists belonged to the level of small monsters.

Unfortunately, the Orion Cross they met earlier was just a small monster. He was an unranked martial artist with no reputation in the martial arts world.

However, in this Camelot City, it was not so.

In the city, let alone first-rate masters, there wasn’t even a single second-rate one. Third-rate masters could already be considered supreme in Camelot City.

One of them was not a martial artist but the commander of Camelot City’s Black Armor Army. Not long after Noah entered the city, he saw this commander leading dozens of elite soldiers rushing towards the city gate.

Noah cast an investigation.

[Arthur Pendelton]

[Rank: First Order]

[Attributes: Strength 1300, Agility 1100, Constitution 1500, Spirit 1000]

[Skills: Hundred Battles Spear Technique...]

[Equipment: Black Blood Armor, Dragon Roar Spear]

"These attributes..." Noah was somewhat surprised.

All four major attributes exceeding the First Order range was normal, after all, the strength of instance monsters was very high. But this was only a third-rate master! His attributes were only second to the Bosses of Difficult instances. How strong would the second-rate and first-rate masters above him be?

Noah suspected that the strength of second-rate masters should be no less than the Bosses of Difficult instances, and first-rate masters would be even stronger.

As for the two super-first-rate masters, it was very likely that they were already Tier 2.

This was not a small matter.

Rank was rank, and attributes were attributes.

Although Arthur Pendelton’s attributes all reached the range of Tier 2, he was still First Order. He would not have Rank Suppression against Noah and the others, and his skills and equipment would at most be of Excellent quality.

Tier 2, however, was very likely to be equipped with Rare-grade skills and equipment.

Even if their attributes were the same, the strength of the two was not on the same level, not to mention that the latter’s attributes would only be higher.

"Thank goodness the mission objective isn’t to kill those two super first-rate experts." Noah felt a slight relief.

Otherwise, even as powerful as he was, he wouldn’t have the confidence to clear the instance.

Two hours later, the five people met up.

Gathering information went smoothly; although there were some twists and turns, there was no danger.

Rose and the others were not weak. Now, Rose and Smith’s two main attributes had both broken through a thousand, and their other two attributes also numbered several hundred. Coupled with their powerful talents, they even had the strength to fight a third-rate expert like Arthur Pendelton.

Even the weakest Claire could be considered a minor expert in Camelot City.

Noah first recounted the information he had gathered.

Upon hearing that the Blade Saint and Sword God were very likely Tier 2 experts, the four people’s expressions changed.

"Good thing they didn’t ask us to fight these two freaks." Zara patted her chest in relief.

The others also looked relieved.

"First-rate experts are not easy to deal with either," Claire reminded.

"What’s there to be afraid of? We have Noah! Bosses in Difficult instances are instantly killed by Noah. No matter how strong a first-rate expert is, they won’t be a match for the big boss, right?" Zara said with a giggle, "I’ll just be responsible for shouting ’666’ for the big boss. Big boss, big boss, I can shout it really well."

The others also relaxed.

That’s right, Noah’s strength was evident. He cleared Difficult instances like they were Ordinary instances, and he was constantly getting stronger. If even he couldn’t pass, then this high-difficulty instance would be too exaggerated.

Hearing this, Noah smiled.

He also had confidence in himself, but he still reminded the others, "Don’t be too careless. After all, the strength of second-rate and first-rate experts is just my speculation. If a first-rate expert is indeed Tier 2, then I may not necessarily be certain..."

The four people’s expressions all became serious. Although they didn’t think that a first-rate expert would be as exaggerated as Tier 2, they didn’t dare to be careless anymore.

"Zara and I acted together, gathered some information, and made some deductions." The analysis master Claire came online, and she began to speak, "The map of this instance is very large. The territory of the Valorian Empire should be no smaller than Blue Star, but most of the area is background. Considering the instance name, it should only be the Central Province, which is located in the heart of Valorian Empire."

"Although it’s only one province, it’s not small. The size of Central Province is no less than our Starfall Country, so I think that compared to killing three first-rate experts, finding them is more Difficult."

"The first-rate experts of Valorian Empire are numbered. Even in Central Province, where martial arts are at their most prosperous, there are only ten people: three from the Demonic Path, three from the Orthodox Path, and four from the Imperial Court."

"As first-rate experts, they have almost reached the peak of martial arts. They may not necessarily stay within their own forces; they might be traveling outside, performing missions, or their whereabouts might be unknown..."

Noah frowned.

Claire’s words made a lot of sense.

The map alone was huge, not to mention that they were not fixed-location NPCs. Compared to killing them, finding them was more Difficult.

"Under normal circumstances, it would probably take us ten days to half a month to complete the objective," Claire continued, smiling slightly, "Fortunately, this is a special period."

"The two super first-rate experts, Challenge: Showdown at the Forbidden City."

"What martial artist could endure not participating in such an unprecedented martial arts event?"

"So our objective is also very clear: go to the Capital. There are enough first-rate experts there."
