Chapter 694: Key Information
Strictly speaking.
The Holy Knights are essentially a reserve team for each forbidden battlefield.
You should know that the battlefields of the Sacred Continent differ from the battlefields of the other three forbidden zones.
As the forbidden zone with the strongest global monsters, no low-level powerhouses are permitted to enter the field rashly.
Looking at the other three forbidden zones.
Their reserve teams generally range around level 90 or so.
However, in the Holy Knights, only those who have surpassed level 120 and become Blue-Rank students are eligible to join.
Furthermore, Asal Academy is no ordinary school.
As the top academy with the strongest comprehensive strength globally, the powerhouses it trains are sent to either the Ten Thousand Demons Battlefield or the actual frontlines.
Their opponents are all elite-level demon soldiers, and even demon generals!
At the pinnacle, the powerhouses face the demon emperors from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, or even the Abyss Sovereigns!
Therefore, the Holy Knights truly house hidden talents, and the benefits they receive are entirely different.
Ling Zhan himself intended to join the Holy Knights.
The reason being that obtaining resources post-level 100 is genuinely challenging.
After joining the Holy Knights, the avenues for acquiring these resources increase significantly.
At this moment.
This vice-captain of the Holy Knights named Lucia must be one of the true top-tier geniuses of the Sacred Continent.
It was something that made Ling Zhan sigh with some emotion.
After all, those individuals from the outside world hailed as prodigies—such as the Holy Empire's crown princess and Dragon Kingdom's Li Chaoge—should currently only be around level 80.
These prodigies level up extremely quickly. Achieving the fourth tier and entering the Sacred Continent for further advancement is practically certain in the future.
But even so.
They still lag far behind the native geniuses of the Sacred Continent.
The fact that this 160-level Holy Spirit Sage only held the position of vice-captain of the Holy Knights.
Likely indicated that the true captain's level was probably around 170!
Based on level comparison, the captain of the Holy Knights could match a demon emperor from the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons!
Of course...
Since the monsters in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons have different power levels.
A level-170 demon emperor's actual combat power can equal three human professionals of the same level.
There's no helping it...
The monsters in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons have such natural advantages; their levels, strength, and overall capabilities surpass human professionals of the same level by a wide margin.
It's apparent that…
During the annual assessments at the Sacred Academy, many people struggle to solo battles against demon soldiers of the same level.
Even those who manage to win—apart from Ling Zhan, the exceptional genius—achieve victory with great difficulty.
This already illustrates many issues.
No wonder the Sacred Continent requires all professionals to exceed level 80 before selecting soldiers.
If their level is too low, sending them to the battlefield would simply be throwing cannon fodder into the mix.
At this moment.
The alluring Holy Knights vice-captain, radiating an aura of charm, stepped into the room and took a seat, openly sizing up Ling Zhan.
There's no denying it...
This man before her was the most captivating male she had ever seen.
In terms of appearance and demeanor, both were exceptional.
Hmm…
And one thing she found particularly surprising.
Her own charm had no effect on this man whatsoever!
Despite being half-human and half-succubus, possessing traits of the succubus race.
Such as an ever-present aura of enchantment.
If Lucia walked the streets without a cloak or veil, everyone—male and female alike—would be irresistibly drawn to her allure.
Those with lower levels would instantly become her devoted admirers.
Most critically…
She possessed another innate talent, "Allure All Beings."
This innate S-level talent gave Lucia the ability to captivate all beings, and she was also widely acknowledged as the most beautiful woman in all of Sacred Academy...
No, in all of Asal Academy.
Her admirers could circle Asal Academy ten times over.
It's rumored that the top ten noble families of the Sacred City of Asal have all extended marriage proposals to her.
And these were from the heads of the noble families themselves!
That's right!
These aristocratic elders wanted to marry this exceptionally young and beautiful woman themselves!
Not arrange for their sons to marry her, but to wed her personally!
This fact alone highlights the vice-captain's remarkable allure.
Fortunately, Lucia's teacher was a female battle goddess of level 190.
With her teacher backing her, the noble elders didn't dare to use forceful means against Lucia.
Lucia now looked at the non-specialist before her—only level 105, yet utterly unaffected by her charm. His calm eyes and serene demeanor treated her as though she were an ordinary person, sparking her curiosity.
She had never encountered someone sixty levels below her who could resist her allure.
Keep in mind...
A succubus's allure affects all genders.
If Lucia walked down the street, she would likewise captivate the women around her, turning them into her ardent admirers.
Of course...
This further demonstrated that the non-specialist before her was far from ordinary.
Ling Zhan, unaware of the storm of thoughts in this woman's mind, poured her a cup of hot tea as a courtesy.
Then, businesslike, he discussed the matter of joining the Holy Knights with her.
"After joining the Holy Knights, one of the best benefits for new members like you is the ability to take on the Knights' missions."
"You probably know that post-level-100 resources are incredibly precious. Even in the Sacred Continent, level-100 resources are highly coveted and not easily accessible."
"By joining the Holy Knights, you gain the qualification to accept tasks from the Holy Mission Hall."
"These mission rewards are level-100 resources."
"Level-100 dungeon tickets, Asal Academy credits, spirit fruits, spiritual medicines that boost experience points, double-, triple-, and even five- or ten-fold level-100 experience pills... and so on."
"These level-100 resource rewards are only obtainable by completing Holy Knights missions."
"Furthermore, our highest-level administrators aren't the captain, but rather the Holy Senate of the Sacred Continent!"
In the course of their conversation, Lucia also provided Ling Zhan with detailed, critical information.
