The Healer More Powerful Than A Warrior

The story begins with the Unicorn Bull Guild.

Before its downfall, the Unicorn Bull Guild was always the most popular guild in Shan City, without exception. It was very generous in offering benefits and recruiting new members, attracting a significant number of newcomers almost every year.

As a result, other guilds naturally received fewer visitors.

Some smaller guilds even closed down one after another due to being unable to recruit enough members for a long time.

Only established guilds like the Iron Blade could barely hold on, relying on their strong foundation.

However, even so, Iron Blade was still facing the risk of being downgraded.

Currently, Iron Blade is a Second-level Guild, able to accept defense tasks from third-tier and below settlements, as well as some medium and long-distance trade missions.

If downgraded to a Third-level Guild, the permissions for accepting tasks would be reduced as well.

If it weren't for the Unicorn Bull Guild's incident, Iron Blade would definitely have been downgraded this year.

Nevertheless, with the downfall of the Unicorn Bull Guild, all the guilds immediately regained their vitality, especially old guilds like Iron Blade, which had a good reputation, and they recruited a group of excellent newcomers.

The issue now is that after several years of decline, the Iron Blade Guild has some top-notch high-level members, but there's a gap directly appearing in the middle and lower-level members...

And this year happens to be the assessment year for the Iron Blade Guild!

Thanks to its strong foundation, the other aspects of the assessment are not problematic. As long as Huo Hongyuan and other high-level members remain, most parts of the assessment are manageable.

But the biggest problem for the Iron Blade Guild now lies in the First Transformation level members' assessment.

This assessment is used to measure the potential for a guild's development.

It's arguably one of the most important assessment items, and if it fails, the guild is bound to be downgraded.

After the Unicorn Bull Guild monopolized the recruitment market for so many years, Iron Blade Guild basically hasn't recruited suitable newcomers during these years.

The result is that as the original First Transformation members either left or were promoted to the Second Transformation, Iron Blade Guild experienced a shortage of grassroots staff...

It was only this year, with the Unicorn Bull's downfall, that Iron Blade managed to recruit a group of suitable personnel.

However, this group of newcomers, while decent in composition, are fresh high school graduates—rookies. Asking them to participate in the assessment is simply unrealistic.

At least half a year of training, with at least half reaching Level 30, is needed to possibly achieve results in this assessment.

Moreover, for this assessment, the recognition of a guild member's identity is very strict.

It requires members who have been part of the guild for at least a year to represent the guild in battle.

Of course...

There is one exception: if the first guild a combatant joined is currently participating in the assessment, they can represent the guild in battle.

So this newly recruited batch of newcomers is fully qualified to participate in battles.

But the problem is exactly here because Iron Blade Guild currently has only this batch of newcomers eligible for battle...

Because of this, Huo Hongyuan is quite worried.

He can't just watch the Iron Blade Guild get downgraded in his hands.

Finally, with no choice, he had to bite the bullet and approach Lin Ye.

At present, Lin Ye is the only one capable of leading this new batch of recruits through the assessment.

Of course, for this to happen, Lin Ye also needs to first become a member of the Iron Blade Guild.

As this year's newcomer, Lin Ye is entirely qualified to assist Iron Blade Guild in the assessment.

"That's too much credit for me. We are just fulfilling each other's needs," Lin Ye said calmly.

Lin Ye doesn't wish to join a guild but is not opposed to receiving guild task rewards.

Therefore, the current situation is quite suitable.

As long as the assessment is completed and Lin Ye gets the benefits, he can leave the guild directly.

Huo Hongyuan smiled and said, "There's no flattery meant. It's just that this time we do have to rely on you."

Although Lin Ye is a young man the same age as his daughter, Huo Hongyuan treats Lin Ye with great respect.

As the chairman of a Second-level Guild, his social status isn't much lower than some middle-level leaders of smaller settlements.

However, he clearly understands that the achievements of this young man in front of him are surely not limited to just this.

Lin Ye said they are 'each satisfying their own needs', but Huo Hongyuan dare not think so.

After all, if Iron Blade Guild doesn't collaborate with Lin Ye and the assessment fails, it would take years to recover from the damage.

On the other hand, for Lin Ye, if he doesn't work with Iron Blade Guild, he can cooperate with other guilds without much impact.

Moreover, passing the assessment is not the greatest benefit Iron Blade can gain from this cooperation.

With Lin Ye's assistance, Iron Blade's upcoming recruitment activities will surely attract many young people who aim to emulate or idolize Lin Ye.

This kind of benefit is exactly what Iron Blade Guild currently lacks!

Only with enough outstanding newcomers can a strong guild be supported!

"Chairman Huo, let's not waste time. Let's get the membership issue resolved first!" Lin Ye said directly.

"No problem!"

Huo Hongyuan nodded and invited Lin Ye into the guild through the interface.

[You have received an invitation from 'Iron Blade Guild'. Accept?]

Lin Ye chose to accept.

[You have joined 'Iron Blade Guild'. Current status: 'New Recruit']

"It's done, Chairman Huo," Lin Ye said to Huo Hongyuan.

"Good, wait a moment," Huo Hongyuan was thrilled and made another series of operations.

[Congratulations, you are now a 'Vice President' of the 'Iron Blade Guild'!]

Seeing the information in front of him, Lin Ye nodded slightly, "Thank you for your trust, Chairman Huo."

This was agreed upon with Huo Hongyuan the night before.

Because only guild members at the Vice President level or above could manage guild items!

Meanwhile...

[Regional Announcement: 'Lin Ye' has become the Vice President of the 'Iron Blade Guild']

This news appeared directly before all Professionals in Shan City.

"What the heck? Lin Ye became the Vice President of the Iron Blade Guild?"

"Chairman Huo of Iron Blade Guild is quite bold!"

"A newcomer being made Vice President directly?"

This promotion speed is incredibly fast.

Even those guilds managed by large noble families wouldn't promote the young members of their clan so quickly.

After all, they still need to maintain some semblance of decorum.

Promoting a newcomer so quickly, what would the other veteran members of the guild think?

But now, with Lin Ye promoted to Vice President, probably no one would have thoughts of 'favoritism'.

Instead, what most would likely think is...

How on earth did Iron Blade Guild manage to bring onboard such an extraordinary talent as Lin Ye?
