After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply Chapter 726: 505, Sacred Rank Cat Girl and Power of Laws2

Chapter 726: 505, Sacred Rank Cat Girl and Power of Laws_2

He sensed a faint yet heavy pressure emanating from the petite little cat girl, instinctively clenching his muscles and going on high alert.

As expected, Bailuo had already broken through Light Rank and entered the ranks of Sacred Rank adventurers.

Only Sacred Rank could exert such pressure on him.

That said… Bailuo has ascended to a higher realm, yet he doesn’t seem very happy?

Lin Da covertly studied Bailuo’s face: sluggish, eyelids drooping, breath erratic. A lock of silver hair rebelliously stood atop her head, as if she’d just woken up and hadn’t had the ti to fix herself.

This was very unusual.

The Bailuo Lin Da knew was a perfectionist and excellent student—her blankets folded into perfect squares daily, sword swings never less than ten thousand before resting, ditating and training past one in the morning, always completing the tasks assigned to her impeccably.

The only ti she ever slept in was to draw the captain’s attention.

How could this Bailuo, of all people, appear before guests with such a sloppy look?

As he pondered, other team mbers began warmly greeting Bailuo.

“Wahaha, Bailuo-sama, I’m back to see you again!”

Taige’s tiger-like head squeezed out from behind Lin Da and he grinned mischievously, hugging Bailuo while spinning around. “Bailuo-sama is so soft and comfy, although your chest is too hard.”

“Ahem.” Bailuo’s face imdiately darkened, her cat tail slapping the ground. A faint blue Battle Qi radiated from her body.

Taige felt as if he was drenched in a torrential flood, frozen stiff, unable to move, pleading with pitiable eyes: “Wuwuwu, I won’t do it again.”

This Battle Qi was distinct from regular Water Series energy; it surged like rivers pounding against rocks—resilient as water yet domineering like fire.

No one paid heed to poor Taige digging his own grave. Lin Da chuckled: “Preliminarily mastering the Laws, congratulations, Dean Bailuo, on ascending to Sacred Rank!”

Starting from Light Rank, adventurers need to formally comprehend the Power of Laws. According to Mystic Continent’s rules, a complete Law Core is composed of one hundred fragnts, equating to 100% mastery. At Light Rank, understanding 10% of the Laws is required to level up from 59 to 60.

If one has sufficient experience but lacks enough comprehension, advancent is impossible.

The difficulty of comprehending the Laws is insurmountable; 90% of Light Rank adventurers are stuck at this step. Level 50 has the highest turnover rate in adventure teams—those unable to master the Laws inevitably depart with broken dreams.

Lin Da quietly analyzed Bailuo’s Battle Qi profile internally, thinking that it was definitely not the standard, colloquially referred to as Low-Level “Magic Law.”

It must be that one.

Original-skin Bailuo had comprehended the Law tied to swimsuit-limited Bailuo!

Bailuo shook her head. “Just good luck. With your talent, you’ll undoubtedly master your own Laws soday.”

“I hope so.” Lin Da smiled faintly.

After exchanging pleasantries, they were about to head into the living room when Bailuo suddenly noticed a familiar face.

“You are…” Bailuo froze.

Anna, wearing a black dress, walked in with a smile.

“Little Bailuo, have you missed ?”

“L-Little…”

Bailuo rubbed her temples and sighed helplessly. “I’m only one year younger than you. I’m an adult now; could you please stop using that nickna? What if the students overhear?”

“Alright, alright, after all, you’re the Dean now.”

“After leaving the Royal Capital, I thought you’d been searching for the captain all this ti. Judging by your expression, it seems you’ve co to terms with it.” Bailuo looked despondent.

Four years had passed, and many had already moved on from those days in Primordial.

Anna said nothing, only smiling.

In her heart, Anna thought: Actually, I haven’t let it go at all. It’s just that I don’t need to think about it anymore.

Seeing how much thinner Bailuo was compared to her mory, Anna felt her nose ache slightly.

The quest to find the captain must have been full of countless disappointnts.

Even now, Bailuo still hadn’t given up.

Put simply, while Anna could happily give opportunities to Lia and the others to use their abilities and wield the Mask of Pain, she would willingly relinquish them for Bailuo’s sake.

Among the main mbers of Primordial, Bailuo’s admiration for the captain undoubtedly ranked in the top three. People like Anna, a self-proclaid weirdo, were content picking up scraps.

Anna smiled brightly, deciding not to dwell on sad matters: “I ca here today for Bailuo’s cooking! I want Bailuo’s Xiaolongbao!”

“Of course.”

Reuniting with her friend, Bailuo’s spirit lifted, and her face showed signs of a smile.

“You three beca friends?”

Walking into the living room, Bailuo made coffee for them while curiously asking.

Lin Da, Taige, Anna.

One was from White Dove City, one from Black Mamba City, and one from the Royal Capital.

People from such divergent locations—how did they co together?

And they seed to get along quite well.

“He’s my boss! My boss treats so well; all three of my Legendary-grade items are gifts from him!”

“Oh.” Bailuo gave Taige a frosty glance.

Scratching his head, Taige couldn’t understand why Bailuo seed upset again—he hadn’t said anything wrong.

The underlying reason, though, was crystal clear to everyone present except Taige.

In the past, Taige exclusively referred to Dark Shadow as his boss.

After teaming up with Lin Da, he imdiately changed loyalties.

In Bailuo’s eyes, this made Taige a disloyal tiger, hence the chilly reception.

“By the way, this room is ridiculously extravagant.” Kafni gasped while glancing at the walls.

Nurous paintings hung there, all depicting a swordsman in a black cloak and a petite catman girl.

“That’s my teacher, and a younger version of .” Bailuo spoke softly. “He’s the best adventurer across the continent.”

Lin Da and the others displayed mixed expressions.

Seeing Bailuo’s face filled with reverence for Dark Shadow, the team felt a surge of admiration. It wasn’t easy for soone to maintain such deep sentint for a captain who had vanished more than four years ago without any trace of life or death. Plenty of others had gotten drunk, bawled their eyes out, and moved on with their lives.

Tasya said, “Having such a loyal and powerful student like Dean Bailuo, your teacher must feel proud.”

“Exactly! Don’t give up searching for your teacher, Bailuo-sis!” Monica chid in, encouragingly.

They were both among the earliest Four-stars to be dropped from the roster and had never crossed paths with Bailuo before, aning Bailuo didn’t know them.

Lin Da added, “I envy your teacher. If I were him, I wouldn’t even be able to sleep at night from sheer joy.”

“Not at all,” Bailuo replied sadly. “I’m just a burden to my teacher, nothing more.”

Bailuo’s face clouded over. “Otherwise, he wouldn’t have disappeared from our midst. In the end, all my skills were taught to by him. Without my teacher’s recognition, I’d probably still be a low-level Water Series Mage right now.”

Bailuo started as a Mage, training twice as much every day as anyone else at the academy, yet still failing to keep up with the average progress.

Only after being noticed by players for her swordsmanship talent and switching classes did she begin to shine.

From there, she soared rapidly to beco an elite swordsmanship master.

Bailuo’s Rare Technique, “Water Flow Wave Cutting,” was derived from Dark Shadow’s “Magic Fla Flash.”; both were Charge techniques, with hers covering a longer distance and featuring more consecutive strikes, albeit slightly less powerful.

On crowded battlefields, she resembled an agile white cat, darting in streaks of blue light, leaving behind piles of corpses—a prized Water Series hero Lin Da had drawn in a gacha event, requiring a whopping 648 draws.

No one expected such a genius to harbor low self-esteem, viewing herself as a burden.

Watching Bailuo’s face look utterly lifeless as if her soul had been stolen, Lin Da felt a pang of anguish, longing to tell Bailuo:

Teacher, it’s … You’re my favorite, Bailuo!

But now was not the right ti to unveil the truth; who knew if the Dean’s office was being monitored? Even the Guard Team had reported recent incursions by heretics into the academy.

Lin Da could only suppress his affections deep within his heart, resolving to make it up to Bailuo properly after she joined the team in the future.

anwhile, Taige’s eyes darted about craftily, clearly scheming sothing.

“Wait, what’s this sll?”

Lin Da stepped closer to Bailuo, catching a subtle yet peculiar odor.

Everyone froze in astonishnt.

Could the dean actually be so careless that she hadn’t bathed in a year?

To salvage her reputation, Bailuo frowned and explained: “Indeed, it’s coming from , but it’s not what you think.”

Bailuo turned her back to them, pulling down the left strap of her garnt to reveal her shoulder blade.

“This is!”

Lin Da’s expression shifted dramatically.

Taige, Anna, and the rest of the team wore looks of disbelief.

Monica covered her eyes, her little hands trembling in fear, unable to bear witness.
