The Healer More Powerful Than A Warrior

"Then take a look and see which Secret Realm you're going to for the examination." Huo Hongyuan slightly raised his hand and beckoned behind him.

Soon after, his assistant stepped forward, ready to introduce Lin Ye to those Secret Realms available for the examination.

The Professional Alliance has specified about ten Secret Realms for examinations, each with its own challenges.

Although just clearing them is enough, the scoring system is actually tiered.

If cleared under Normal difficulty, you only get a passing score.

For Hard difficulty, it's considered good.

If cleared under Abyss difficulty, it's an excellent score!

Given the current situation, Huo Hongyuan didn't dare think much; he only hoped to pass smoothly.

As for aiming for high scores, that's not something the Iron Blade Guild should consider right now.

Only those aspiring to raise their guild's rating would go for an excellent evaluation.

A second-level guild that achieves an excellent rating can directly apply for an upgrade assessment in the next five-year review.

But the Iron Blade Guild's current goal is to maintain its level, not to advance.

So just achieving a passing score is already sufficient.

Of course, if they can get a high score, no one would oppose it.

After all, the guild's examination achievements are made public.

Better scores mean more commissaries from clients...

Overall, it's beneficial.

Lin Ye directly said, "Let's go for the 'Battle of West City' Secret Realm!"

He had already researched last night that this Secret Realm is the only one where the process could be compressed to within two to three units of time for the examination.

The others essentially have fixed procedures and absolutely cannot shorten the clearing time.

Lin Ye wants a quick victory, so he could only choose the 'Battle of West City' Secret Realm.

Upon hearing Lin Ye speak, both Huo Hongyuan and his assistant were taken aback.

They didn't expect that Lin Ye had already made his own decision.

Most Professionals of the same age probably have no idea what a guild examination even entails, yet Lin Ye seemed to know precisely.

"It seems you've done your research in advance."

Huo Hongyuan was initially a bit worried, but now he felt completely assured.

Since Lin Ye had already understood in advance and was willing to collaborate with the Iron Blade Guild, the chances of success must be substantial!

Naturally, Huo Hongyuan also felt much relieved.

The Battle of West City is a medium-sized Secret Realm, requiring a minimum of 10 people to open, but allowing a maximum entry of 30 people.

The primary task of this Secret Realm is to escort supplies to a city-state named 'West City.'

Along the way, endless enemy armies will continue to obstruct, and challengers need to proceed with the supply escort amidst these enemy distractions.

As long as the supplies are successfully escorted to the destination, the challenge process of this Secret Realm is considered completed.

Therefore, as long as the supplies reach their destination, the task can end smoothly, unlike some Secret Realms, which have fixed time processes that cannot end early.

Otherwise, Lin Ye would not have chosen this Secret Realm.

The whole point is speed!

Under Huo Hongyuan's arrangement, soon, all personnel participating in this mission with Lin Ye were in position.

Including Lin Ye, there were a total of sixteen people.

The reason the younger generation of the Iron Blade Guild faced a gap is because they have never lowered the selection threshold.

Even this year, despite receiving so many membership applications, Huo Hongyuan steadfastly adhered to his elite strategy, eventually selecting only about ten people from them.

Among them were a few familiar faces.

"Boss!"

Hook's face was full of excitement and fervor, showing no hint of concealment.

Beside him stood Zhao Xue Ming and Li Feng, both of whom, like Hook, had followed Lin Ye in challenging the Secret Realm.

Later, in the 'Cannibal Exotic Realm,' they were saved by Lin Ye.

You could say, they are among the most fervent of Lin Ye's followers.

They never thought that in their lifetime, they'd have the chance to follow Lin Ye into a Secret Realm again!

Because the gap between them and Lin Ye is truly vast now!

So this time, upon hearing there was an opportunity to enter a Secret Realm battle with Lin Ye again, these three almost immediately raised their hands.

Without any hesitation.

As for the others, not everyone was as excited as Hook and the others.

In fact, some seemed somewhat unwilling...

After all, given their level, challenging a Level 30 Secret Realm would naturally invoke fear.

Lin Ye can afford countless mistakes safely, but they only need to err once, and it could mean ruin with no burial - a Level 30 Secret Realm is indeed too daunting for them.

Clearly, these individuals came along reluctantly...

Lin Ye scanned the group and said, "I plan to challenge the Abyss Difficulty, so only ten people are needed. There's no reason for so many people to come. Anyone who wants to leave, now's the time."

Ten people is the minimum requirement to initiate the 'Battle of West City.'

If the team doesn't have enough people, then it cannot open this Secret Realm.

Of course, once the difficulty of the Secret Realm is determined, it won't fluctuate based on the number of challengers.

So it's best to fill the 30-person limit for this Secret Realm.

This can effectively reduce the pressure of the challenge.

As for ten people, it's just creating additional difficulty for themselves.

And for ten people at an average of only Level 20 to open the Abyss Level 'Battle of West City'...

That's essentially courting death!

Upon hearing Lin Ye's words, not just the newcomers but even Huo Hongyuan and the others paused in shock.

This seems different from what they originally anticipated!

"Actually, as long as we pass, that's good enough." Huo Hongyuan insisted on reminding, despite his reluctance.

For some reason, as a Professional at the Peak of Second Transition and able to undergo Third Transformation at any moment, he felt a sense of being overshadowed when facing Lin Ye.

Lin Ye's reputation and aura were simply too overwhelming.

"Since I claimed I could lead, then I absolutely can. Those who don't believe can feel free to leave." Lin Ye said with composure.

The group of newcomers, upon hearing Lin Ye's words, was momentarily stunned.

Normal difficulty is one thing...

But Abyss Difficulty, isn't that a bit too much?

Those few who were initially reluctant directly raised their hands to indicate their exit from this mission.

If Lin Ye were to lead them to challenge a Level 25 Secret Realm, they wouldn't be so hesitant.

However, a Level 30 Secret Realm, especially on Abyss Level...

They can't gamble their lives, right?

As those individuals left, the team instantly dwindled to ten people; including Lin Ye, there were now eleven in total.

Hook and his group resolutely chose to remain.

As for the others, although initially hesitating when they heard about the Abyss Difficulty challenge, after considering it thrice, they all decided to take their chance with Lin Ye!
