Chapter 227 202, Phoenix Tail Flower connects to the sixth, seventh, and eighth layers of the World Tree.
```
By noon, each rock-level squad had received an invitation from Phoenix Tail Flower Team.
"Having it tomorrow? The timing is a bit tight, huh, Folie, represent our team and go in my place, I'll pass."
The captain of the Valiant Adventure Team, Robert, was practicing swordplay in the yard, sweating profusely.
As a team on the verge of the 14th level and on the cusp of becoming Iron Level, sending Vice-Captain Folie to attend Phoenix Tail Flower's promotion party was already giving ample face.
It was only for Phoenix Tail Flower Squad.
If it were any other level 20 average adventure team, Robert only planned to have Folie show up, deliver the gift, and come back.
Many captains shared Robert's sentiment.
Tomorrow, some were preparing to challenge the Mystic Realm, while others had scheduled to subdue magical creatures in the wilderness.
A large portion planned to send their gifts over in advance. As for attending in person, they would skip it tomorrow.
As long as the intention reached, there would be no problem.
The new generation of adventurers were paying less and less attention to those old, obsolete traditions, seeing them as remnants of the past.
Surely Lin Da, a young man of the new era, would understand their reasons for not attending, right?
By the afternoon.
At least seventy percent of the adventure team leaders thought this way.
But as the afternoon went on…
This turned out to be an unintended stroke of luck.
The trio from Phoenix Tail Flower Team had initially planned to spend the day relaxing in the city, but then they received news that the Murderous Crab series equipment was ready from the Blacksmith Shop.
Armed with new equipment and significantly increased strength, Lin Da and the others decided unanimously to test their might at the World Tree.
They brought along their sensor ladybug and started a live stream for the attackers.
The 5th level of the Great Mystery Continent was not yet open, but that didn't stop them from entering the 6th level through the Teleportation Array.
Then, in just one hour…
Lin Da and his team went from the 6th level to the 8th level.
All the hidden magical creatures in those three levels were annihilated.
Equipment burst forth with several orange items.
At this moment, in the Adventurer's Guild hall.
"Oh dear, seeing Lia got me so excited, I forgot to ask, where does Lin Da live?"
Xilin pouted, slumping onto a table, looking just like a dried salted fish.
She listlessly sipped her orange juice through a straw, complaining to the housekeeper-like Lady Bai Mian beside her:
"Even that dummy Lia thought to buy a gift for my brother, my brother couldn't have started to like Lia and forgotten about me, could he?"
The tone was tinged with sourness.
Xilin wriggled on the table, turning from a salted fish into a sour lemon.
"Erm... I believe it shouldn't be the case. According to my investigation, Lin Da is an adventurer with a deep sense of loyalty and affection, and he definitely keeps you in his heart," Bai Mian replied with sweat beading her forehead.
Are all Twelve Belongings so eccentric?
Bai Mian inwardly criticized, the last one was tyrannical to no end, and the newly arrived Xilin was obsessed with her brother?
And she wouldn't let her capture Lin Da.
Does she want to play out some nurturing fantasy?
Just then.
"Look, it's Eye of True Knowledge Lin Da!"
An adventurer excitedly raised his ax in front of the magic screen at the guild hall.
"What? What?"
"Where's my brother?"
Xilin sat up tensely, concerned that if Lin Da recognized her true identity, she would definitely get scolded, and it would be an unprecedented tirade!
```
That kind of thing must never happen!
Xi Lin looked carefully towards the source of the noise, which came from the center of the hall where a gigantic broadcast screen made of three magic screens suddenly lit up.
The person who appeared on it was someone she knew all too well: Lin Da.
It turned out that the Phoenix Tail Flower Team had whimsically gone to the World Tree and started a live strategy broadcast without notifying the guild.
Now that the adventurers had spotted Lin Da, the staff had cast the Phoenix Tail Flower's live strategy feed onto the massive broadcast screen in the center.
"I was only scared because it was through the screen."
Xi Lin placed her hand on her chest and took a long sigh of relief.
Resting her chin in her hand, she watched with a big smile as the tall man on the broadcast screen stood with his back to the audience, and the spade-shaped tail beneath his skirt wrapped around his waist, proudly wiggling. A sense of pride welled up within her: look, that person is my brother!
Through the White Dove Morning News, Xi Lin learned that Lin Da had changed his class to a Healing Mage, a very formidable profession.
Even better, the Demon King loved when powerful human adventurers defected to his side.
Xi Lin wholly believed that with Lin Da's understanding of the Mystic Continent, if he just came to the Demon King's side, he would start at least as a Demon General and with a little effort could become one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
On the screen, the scene presented was that of Lin Da attacking the eighth layer's hidden BOSS, the Silver-maned Lion King.
The Silver-maned Lion King, an orange rarity, level 20, with 100,000 health points.
Lin Da, holding an emerald light shield, single-handedly blocked all the attacks of the Silver-maned Lion King, a behemoth over five meters in length.
He did more than just effortlessly defend. He also used this hidden BOSS as a tool to train his squad and hone their coordination.
He also taught the many adventurers outside the screen the techniques to vanquish the Silver-maned Lion King.
Lin Da was poised and spoke methodically:
"First do this... then this... and then this."
"Then you can easily defeat the level 20 Silver-maned Lion King."
The techniques explained by Lin Da were simple and easy to understand.
As long as the members of an adventure team were of suitable level, if they followed his strategy, they could generally succeed.
That's basically copying homework.
"What's going on today, so many people at the Adventurers' Guild? Is there some event?"
The Vice-Captain of the Valiant Adventure Team, Folie, puzzled, stroked his bald head while his brown whip-like beard swung back and forth.
Folie looked at the center of the hall with confusion: a crowd of adventurers shouting fervently, comparable to a fan meet-up for a popular female adventurer.
This time, Folie was out to buy gifts for the Phoenix Tail Flower Team.
Captain Robert had given him 1120 gold coins, instructing him to buy some keepsakes that were light on the purse but heavy with sentiment.
Right in the midst of striving for the 14th level, all external spending of the Valiant was cut to the minimum where possible.
Folie himself was very busy; contemplating refining his ultimate skill... He planned to attend the Phoenix Tail Flower's party the next day, stand around for half an hour to fulfill social niceties, and then sneak away early.
He believed Captain Lin Da, with his broad-mindedness, would understand.
"Hurry up, they say Phoenix Tail Flower has reached the eighth level, if we don't watch now, it'll be over!"
"Let's move, I'm just stuck on the sixth level, with Lin Da's live strategy, I can also climb up."
"The Eye of True Knowledge is awesome!"
Three adventurers hurried past Folie's side.
Hearing their conversation, an idea struck Folie: Is this Phoenix Tail Flower's live strategy?
While he knew that Phoenix Tail Flower had reached level 21, he wasn't aware of how strong Phoenix Tail Flower really was.
His interest was immediately piqued.
Approaching the broadcast station in the hall, Folie looked up just in time to see Lin Da unleashing his ultimate skill.
A purple energy dragon roared out from the array in front of Lin Da.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
It rushed ferociously towards the Silver-maned Lion King, sinking its teeth into it.
The Silver-maned Lion King let out a pained roar as the energy dragon knocked it back over ten meters, its claws digging deeply into the ground as it plowed a trench.
Folie thought, "The Silver-maned Lion King, huh... it looks quite weakened, probably has around 40,000 health points left. If Lin Da deals 10,000 damage, then his team members follow with their ultimates, they could finish it in one round."
As expected of the Vice-Captain seasoned Rock-level squad, Folie had a sharp eye, and his damage assessment was almost spot on.
