Mirror World Administrator

Chapter 101 Big and Little Kings

The visit of the Jingwei bird obviously depends on luck, and it is possible not to see it for several days.

Yang Xu waited for a while, and when he found no response, he didn't care. He left the washbasin on the roof and went back home to prepare for sleep.

As soon as twelve o'clock in the evening arrived, Yang Xu's consciousness automatically sank into the realm of stillness.

In the pure white space, the Stopper was already waiting for his arrival in the middle of the venue.

Seeing his new look, Zhizhe was startled. After taking a closer look, he nodded and said, "The new skin is good."

Yang Xu was not surprised. If Erlang Shen's skin was not "okay", then there would be no other good skin.

Now that he had the new skin, Yang Xu couldn't wait to try his hand with the Drunken Swordsman as soon as he entered the realm of enlightenment.

"Practice on your own."

The one who stopped understood what he meant and did not disturb him. He went to the edge of the realm of stopping and closed his eyes to meditate.

Yang Xu selected a spear from the weapon rack, then came to the statue of the heroic spirit, set the Drunken Sword Immortal to level 11, and then activated the statue.

The Drunken Swordsman jumped off the stone platform and started fighting with Yang Xu without saying a word.

……

Half an hour later, the Drunken Swordsman returned to the stone platform.

In mid-air, Yang Xu, who was chopped into pieces by the Drunken Sword Immortal's sword, condensed into shape. Instead of feeling depressed, he felt a little surprised.

The result of the ten battles just now was 9:1, and he won one!
This was the first time he had defeated the Drunken Swordsman head-on after so many days of sparring with him!

It really deserves to be a legendary skin.

Yang Jian is a figure from the mythological era, and Drunken Swordsman is from the martial arts era. If they were to cross the boundaries and talk about their true strength, they would not be in the same dimension at all.

But now it is just skin after all. After the prehistoric figures are transformed into skin, they will be restricted by the energy level of the world and can only exert part of their power. The earlier the era, the greater the restrictions.

For example, the character level cap in the Second Era is 10, in the Fourth Era it is 1000, and in the Seventh Era it is 100.

But in the Ninth Era, where there is no extraordinary energy at all, the highest level that all skins can reach is only 90.

Therefore, no matter whether it is a mythical figure with a combat power of 10 or a martial arts figure with a combat power of 100, in their hands they can only display 90 points of power, and the generation gap between eras is naturally largely eliminated.

Of course, this is just an attempt to even things out, and there will still be some real differences in strength. Generally speaking, under the same quality, skins from earlier eras will have stronger skill effects.

Therefore, at the same level, Yang Jian's skin is actually stronger than Drunken Swordsman's.

But even so, the fact that he was able to defeat the Drunken Swordsman head-on without any tricks has already demonstrated that Yang Xu's practical experience is rapidly catching up with the Drunken Swordsman.

In the next few days, Yang Xu did not continue to practice with the statue. Instead, he sat cross-legged and began to practice the Five Ghosts Moving Technique he had learned before.

The spell seed only lasts for a week and then disappears, so he needs to learn it as quickly as possible.

……

12 o'clock in the morning, City Lord's Mansion.

This is the largest building in Qingyang City and it is still brightly lit late at night.

On the second floor of the City Lord's Mansion, Man Jianghong, Zuiwo Hongchen and Lanshan stood in a row respectfully.

At this moment, at the computer desk in front of them, a man with his hair tied up in a scarf and dressed in brocade clothes was sitting in front of the monitor, watching the content playing on the screen carefully.

The three of them didn't dare to breathe, because the man sitting in front of them was the biggest star in the entire Qingyang City.

Xuanjizi, the mayor of Qingyang City, is one of the six 10-star masters with the highest level. His skin character is the leader of the Tianji Sect, a large sect in the Fourth Era, which is also the origin of the name of the Tianji Pavilion guild.

On the screen is the video of Qingyun Daotong’s seven copies.

Xuanjizi had been staring at these looping images over and over again for half an hour, without saying a word.

The three of them looked at each other, hesitating whether to take the initiative to ask.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

"I'll drive it!"

The pressure of standing next to the city lord was too great. Lanshan, who was closest to him, quickly volunteered and walked to the door and opened it.

A young man holding a green wooden staff and wearing an elven robe appeared at the door.

The moment he saw this young man, Lan Shan became nervous again: "First, Lord Prophet?"

This young man dressed as an elf wizard is the deputy city lord of Qingyang City, nicknamed "Prophet", and is also a 10-star master.

"Hello."

The elf youth nodded politely to Lanshan, walked into the house at ease, and greeted Manjianghong and Zuiwohongchen respectively.

Man Jianghong and Zuiwo Hongchen performed much better. They often came to the City Lord's Mansion and met the two City Lords from time to time, so they were not strangers to each other.

"Are you here? Prophet, come and watch it too. It's an interesting video."

The city lord glanced at the young man who came in, greeted him with a smile, and took the initiative to make way for him.

The prophet nodded and walked to the computer desk to sit down. The city lord had already told him the general situation on the way to notify him to come.

The prophet cut the seven videos into seven screens, pulled all of them to the beginning, and played them all from the beginning together.

The city lord didn't watch it again. Instead, he walked up to Man Jianghong and the other two and said with a smile, "What do you think of these videos?"

Zuiwo Hongchen and Lanshan didn't dare to speak. Manjianghong hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It feels... like a part of it is a bit like super sense?"

Man Jianghong tried to speak carefully, but the city lord smiled when he heard it: "It's not a resemblance, it's a super sense."

Sure enough! Man Jianghong finally confirmed her guess.

"But, isn't it said that super sense can only be mastered by those above the seventh star level?"

"That was said a long time ago. In fact, this record was broken last year," the city lord said.

"You should know that in the middle of last year, the Mirror World experienced a massive surge in spiritual energy, much like a baby boom. Within a few months, a large number of new administrators suddenly flooded in. During that surge, many talented individuals carefully nurtured by the world's major powers finally could no longer hide. They were gradually selected by the Mirror World and debuted as administrators."

"Among this group of talented newcomers, quite a few have shown signs of possessing extrasensory perception before reaching four-star status."

The City Lord said, "The top two on the Rising Stars list, Tang Xiaoyi, the Empress' disciple, and Fang Shaojie, the Sword Saint's heir, entered the Mirror World at the beginning of last year. While still at 1-star, they were already revealed to possess extraordinary ESP abilities."

"There is such a thing!"

The three of them were stunned upon hearing this. A 1-star possessing supersensory perception wasn't an isolated case...

"This is information that only circulates among professional masters. It's normal that you don't know it. I also happened to hear Taigong talk about it when I went to Baidi City some time ago."

The City Lord said seriously, "According to Taigong, Qi Shield and Qi Spark still require a seven-star level and extensive combat experience to master. However, some major forces have already figured out a set of methods for super sense, which can be used to train a person in advance before they are selected by the Mirror World."

"So, this Taoist boy is also a genius secretly cultivated by a powerful force?" Zuiwo Hongchen thought thoughtfully.

If so, it makes sense.

No wonder he refused to join the faction; the affiliation of such people was determined from the outset. And the Kamaitachi and the like were even easier to explain; with a person of that background, it wouldn't be surprising what they could bring out.

"Actually, I'm not 100% sure..."

The city lord paused and walked back to the prophet.

At this point, the progress of the seven videos on the computer is nearing completion.

"How?" asked the city lord.

"What a rapid progress!" exclaimed the young elf.

"Really? I think so too." The city lord breathed a sigh of relief, as if confirming a certain guess.

"What's progressing quickly?"

The other three looked at each other, and Man Jianghong couldn't help asking.

"Look here, and here, and here..."

With extraordinary speed, the prophet captured clips from several videos, amplifying them and playing them repeatedly. "This man's fighting habits are changing rapidly, almost every battle is different. It's no exaggeration to say that not seeing him for a day feels like a long time..."

The three of them watched the clips cut out by the prophet for a long time, but they were still confused. What change in habits? Aren't these scenes all about standing still and using skills? Are there any changes throughout the process?

"Are the dates marked on these documents accurate?" the prophet suddenly turned around and asked.

"Accurate." Lan Shan nodded hurriedly. He was the one who made the video, so he wouldn't make a mistake with such basic data.

"If this is true, then the speed of this person's progress can only be described as terrifying." The prophet sighed.

The city lord shook his head, "More than that! This rate of growth is no longer a matter of talent. There must be a master behind this person, guiding him step by step."

"What level of expert?" Man Jianghong asked subconsciously.

"At least he won't be weaker than me!" said the city lord.

"what?"

Seeing the three people's surprised expressions, the city lord shook his head in amusement. "What's so strange about that? I'm just an ordinary ten-star master. I only became the city lord because of my grandfather's help. There are many masters in this world who are stronger than me. What's more, this master was able to help this newcomer develop super senses before entering the mirror world, which means that his super senses must have been perfected. Even with the most conservative estimate, he is a professional-level master!"

Professional level, and the most conservative estimate?
Going up further, there is only the Emperor level left...

The three of them looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that the person behind this Taoist boy might be an emperor-level master?
Zuiwo Hongchen couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He always thought that he had taken this person seriously enough, but today's result made him realize that he still underestimated the origin of this Taoist boy.

Emperor level, that was a realm he didn't even dare to imagine...

"Then what attitude should we adopt towards this person?" Man Jianghong asked hurriedly.

After the city lord's analysis, we have finally gotten a glimpse of this person's background. However, how to deal with him is still a big problem.

Forget recruiting people with big backgrounds like this. The question now is how to deal with the hidden boss behind this person.

"Attitude? We don't need to have an attitude, just pretend we didn't see it." said the city lord.

"what?"

"Think about it, why would such a reclusive master come to a small place like Qingyang City?" The prophet stood up.

"If they're here for profit, then there's no need to hide. Just show your face and a bunch of people will rush over to flatter you. I'll probably have to give up my position as deputy city lord, and they might not even want it."

The prophet didn't say anything else, but the three of them understood what he meant.

Since he chose to hide his identity, he was probably tired of the power struggle and probably just wanted to find a small city to retire and train his descendants. What this kind of master hates most is having his life disturbed.

If they disturb others' peace and quiet in order to establish a relationship with them, there will be only one result, that is, the master will take his juniors away in anger and move to another city to continue living in seclusion.

"Remember, our ultimate goal is to keep this expert in Qingyang City. This way, if Qingyang City is in trouble in the future, the expert may secretly help us."

The city lord said, "The best approach is to not interfere. Not only should we not interfere, but we should also try to prevent others from disturbing their seclusion."

"Well, about the Heart Guild..." Lanshan thought of what happened today.

It looked like the person the Red Heart Guild was after was most likely this Taoist boy. It was ridiculous that these people didn't even know the boy's background. If they were to just run into him like that, they'd probably end up dead without even knowing how.

"The one with the red heart..."

Speaking of the Red Heart Guild, Xuanjizi couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied: "They've gone a bit too far this time. Let's go and give them a lesson."

Although there is no evidence for the incident caused by the Heart Guild, anyone with a discerning eye can see what happened.

To be honest, there weren't many ten-star lords in Qingyang City. He was usually courteous and respectful to the four lords who were willing to join him, giving them enough face. He generally didn't get too serious unless it was a matter of principle. Many things, as long as they weren't too ugly, would pass without everyone turning a blind eye.

But this time, it involves a possible professional-level or even emperor-level master. The matter is of great importance and we must not let them do whatever they want.

"I understand. I'll take care of this!" Man Jianghong nodded.
