Chapter 352: City of Arcanists
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After Xu Ning killed the two rank six masters of the Wind Sea Institute, everything went much smoother.
Because of Xu Ning’s intimidation, the Wind Sea Institute was taken over by the Ice Feather Institute without any resistance.
While all this was taking place, those who had participated in the assassination of the Old Institute Head and Xu Ning were dealt with in different ways.
Among them, for the experts above rank four in the Wind Sea Institute and did not participate in harming the Ice Feather Institute, they were given the choice to submit. Those that were willing were allowed to join the Ice Feather Institute, while those who were unwilling to submit were expelled from the southern part of the Barren Wind Region.
This was to ensure the stability of the Ice Feather Institute.
With this, the Ice Feather Institute gained two rank five arcanists and six rank four arcanists, greatly increasing their overall combat power.
Because with Xu Ning around, they didn’t have to worry about these people daring to rebel internally.
The sudden movement of the Ice Feather Institute brought a huge impact to the southern part of the Barren Wind Region.
Instantly, many large forces in the southern part of the Barren Wind Region were anxious, afraid that the Ice Feather Institute would attack them as well.
They had all learned that Xu Ning, who was comparable to a rank seven master, was present in the Ice Feather Institute.
Xu Ning’s strength was already at the ceiling of the southern part of the Barren Wind Region. The entire southern part of the Barren Wind Region was extremely afraid of him.
But soon, the Ice Feather Institute expressed their goodwill.
The evidence of the Wind Sea Institute’s malicious attack on the Ice Feather Institute made the other forces in the southern part of the Barren Wind Region understand that the rumors were true.
Although the Ice Feather Institute had forcibly annexed the Wind Sea Institute, the Wind Sea Institute was in the wrong first.
In that case, the other forces were relieved.
However, they still had some inexplicable fear towards the Ice Feather Institute.
After this incident, they had realized how terrifying top-level combatants were in a power struggle.
The overall strength of the Ice Feather Institute was not as good as before, but because of Xu Ning, an almost rank seven master, the situation was reversed.
The other forces were also worried about how they would resist Xu Ning if the Ice Feather Institute had the intention to rule the entire southern part of the Barren Wind Region.
Fortunately, their worries did not become reality.
After resolving the matter of the Wind Sea Institute, in addition to annexing resources, the Ice Feather Institute began to unite with various parties to promote the common interests between the Ice Feather Institute and the various forces.
In fact, this was to pave the way for Xu Ning to leave the southern part of the Barren Wind Region.
Whether it was Jiang Xu, Xu Siqi, or Lu Wang, they all knew that Xu Ning would leave this place sooner or later.
Before he left, the Ice Feather Institute had to do its best to gain independence.
Time flew by, and another two years went by.
Over the past two years, Xu Ning still hadn’t left the southern part of the Barren Wind Region.
With his help, the Ice Feather Institute and the big forces in the southern part of the Barren Wind Region had formed an alliance. Even if Xu Ning left, the Ice Feather Institute could ensure that it could operate independently and would not fall behind in level.
In addition, Xu Ning also helped Jiang Xu and Xu Siqi to advance to rank five arcanists. Lu Wang also advanced to a rank four arcanist.
Jiang Xu and Xu Siqi’s advancement provided the promise of high-level combat power to the Ice Feather Institute.
Of course, Xu Ning also gained a lot during this period.
Half a month ago, Xu Ning was promoted to a rank seven arcanist.
Over the past two years, the Ice Feather Institute had annexed the Wind Sea Institute and gradually expanded its own forces. During this process, Jiang Xu continued to provide Xu Ning with large amounts of resources as a reward for Xu Ning’s previous efforts.
Xu Ning used this opportunity to gather 3 million units of energy needed to advance to rank seven.
It could be said that Xu Ning’s 3 million units of energy were the bonus from swallowing the Wind Sea Institute and the Ice Feather Institute’s progress.
After this, it would be impossible for him to continue to advance to rank eight in a place like the Barren Wind Region.
So, it was time for Xu Ning to leave.
Before leaving, Xu Ning bid farewell to the people around him.
Although Jiang Xu, Lu Wang, Xu Siqi, and Guan Yue had already foreseen Xu Ning’s departure, they were still emotional.
This time, Guan Yue did not decide to travel with Xu Ning.
She could no longer keep up with Xu Ning’s pace, so staying in the Ice Feather Institute was the best choice for her.
After bidding farewell, Xu Ning began to walk forward again.
This time, he was going to the City of Arcanists.
The City of Arcanists was the place where arcanists mainly gathered.
There were as many arcanists as mortals there. Powerful arcanists were everywhere, and there were even many rank nine arcanists.
Xu Ning knew that only there could he obtain the tremendous amount of resources he needed to advance.
Xu Ning only needed to advance two more ranks before he could completely comprehend the origin of the Arcanist World. He would then take back his clone and break through to the grandmaster realm.
Time flew by.
Another year went by.
Xu Ning spent the entire year traveling.
Even though he was already a rank seven arcanist, it took him a year to travel there.
‘I’m finally at the City of Arcanists!’
Xu Ning looked at the huge wall in front of him. He felt relieved.
After a long journey, he finally reached his final destination.
According to Xu Ning’s plan, this City of Arcanists would be his last stop before advancing to rank nine.
Seeing the arcanists walking in and out of the city, Xu Ning walked over as well.
“A new arcanist?”
Xu Ning was stopped by the city guards at the city gate.
Even the city guards were generally above rank four.
The leading city guard was even at rank six.
This kind of strength was considered strong in other regions.
“Yes.”
Xu Ning nodded.
“We need to assess your strength and register your information.”
The city guards were quite polite to Xu Ning. They had already sensed that Xu Ning was very strong.
“Okay.”
Xu Ning was also quite cooperative.
After the city guard registered Xu Ning’s identity, he gave Xu Ning a badge certificate. At the same time, he also gave Xu Ning a booklet, on which was the internal map of the city, as well as various rules of the city.
What surprised Xu Ning was that this relatively complicated job did not cost Xu Ning anything.
‘As expected of the City of Arcanists!’
After entering the city, Xu Ning sensed the aura of arcanists everywhere.
Among them, rank three and rank four arcanists were the most common, while rank one and rank two arcanists were rare.
Under normal circumstances, unless one was born in the City of Arcanists, rank one and rank two arcanists who were from elsewhere would not come here at all.
For ordinary arcanists, the competition in the city was fierce.
‘I’ll find a place to stay first, then familiarize myself with the environment here…’
Xu Ning glanced through the booklet given to him by the city guard and looked for a place to stay.
