51 News of the Mythical Overlord


    When Xu Yuan leveled up to Level 30, his appearance changed, and he gained a new ability.


    [Lost in the Night: When this Night Magic is cast, within the range of the magic array, enemies with weak willpower will be lost in the darkness and be its ves.]


    Xu Yuan did some simple research on this ability. The Lost in the Night ability was an evolved ability from the magic array under his feet.


    At its peak, the ability will definitely have more advantages. But for now, Lvl 1 of the ability only had the basic effects. In the future, it might develop into a more powerful ability.


    ‘Hmm… as it develops, it might be able to turn enemies against each other,’ Xu Yuan secretly guessed.


    “Xu Yuan, did you gain a new ability?”


    Su Wan was not aware that Xu Yuan always gained new abilities and appearance when he leveled up. It was a pity that he still hid his abilities and looked at her sheepishly. For some reason, that made her angry.


    Su Wan wanted to investigate Xu Yuan’s ability but her friend, Shi Linglong sent her a message that caught her attention.


    [Shi Linglong: Wanwan, I asked the school leaders. They said that we don’t have to worry for the time being. They believe that people from Dark Screen will focus their energy on ruining the Inter-Campus Tournament for the present.]


    ‘The Inter-Campus Tournament!’


    Su Wan’s palms were covered in sweat. ‘Did the Dark Screen brazenly announce to disrupt the Inter-Campus Tournament? Or did the academy get the news from other sources?’


    Lin Yao and Zhao Qingrong also joined the group chat.


    Su Wan was busy fighting a battle of wits and courage with Xu Yuan that she had forgotten about the Dark Screen organization.


    Lin Yao and Zhao Qingrong also knew about it by now.


    [Lin Yao: This year’s Inter-Campus Tournament is very special. Those guys from the secret organization will definitely send people to sabotage it! The secret organization has been preparing to sabotage the Inter-Campus Tournament for many years! ”


    Su Wan was very confused.’How was the Inter-Campus Tournament rted to the Dark Screen organization?’


    [Su Wan: But why target the Inter-Campus Tournament? Is it because the strongest and most talented Lords will be participating in it and if they seed in eliminating them, it will strike a fatal blow to the Lords in general?]


    Su Wan felt that this was the only possibility. If not, why would the Dark Screen be interested in the tournament?


    [Shi Linglong: Yes. That might be the reason. The teachers didn’t really say anything about that, but Wanwan’s guess might be right.]


    Shi Linglong and Zhao Qingrong both agreed with Su Wan. The members of the Dark Screen hated the Lords.


    Assassinating ordinary Overlords would not make a huge difference in the Blue. After all, many people die every minute in the world. However, the Inter-Campus Tournament would have elites from many academies. Some of these Overlords would even go on to be Sages in charge of the Blue.


    This was the best time and ce for the Dark Screen organization to strike a blow against the Lords of the Blue and weaken them.


    Lin Yao didn’t agree with the theory.


    [Lin Yao: No. I think the main reason they want to sabotage the tournament is because there is a high chance that a young Mythical Overlord will be born in thepetition.]


    ‘A Mythical Overlord?’ Su Wan’s breath caught in her throat.


    Mythical Overlord usually had a Level 5 Core! It meant that the Overlord themselves would be of Level 120 and above. The reason they were called “Mythical” was because there were no Mythical Overlords on the Blue for now. It was a sort of a legend.


    ‘A Mythical Overlord is finally going to appear on the Blue?! But that’s not right!’


    [Su Wan: But if there was indeed a Mythical Overlord, they would be promoted by the established Legendary Overlords. How could they appear in the Inter-Campus Tournament?]


    She felt that there were a lot of unexined things.


    [Shi Linglong: I remember now. I heard from my family that the Lords who make it into the Top Ten of the Inter-Campus Tournament will be fighting for the position in a mysterious ce in the Overlord ne.]


    Shi Linglong didn’t know everything in detail. She only knew that, in the past, the Top Ten Lords gathered in the Overlord ne topete for territories. The Lords would try to defend their own territories while trying to destroy the other Lords’ territories.


    The Inter-Campus Tournament this year was the same, except that the Lords who made it to the Top Ten wouldpete in a mysterious ce. Shi Linglong did not know which ce it would be.


    [Zhao Qingrong: I heard that as well. Does it mean that the mysterious ce will be linked to the Mythical Overlord?]


    [Lin Yao: I think so. That mysterious ce is the secret to bing a Mythical Overlord.]


    Su Wan was still doubtful. She was going to ask once again. Lin Yao must have guessed because she exined a bit more without Su Wan asking for the answer.


    [Lin Yao : The secret seems to be useful only for the Lords with high potential. The Legendary Lords are close to bing a Mythical Lord, but they have already exhausted their potential.]


    Lin Yao’s words finally rified Su Wan’s doubts. She now understood why the studentspeting in the Inter-Campus Tournament were allowed to participate in the mysteriouspetition.


    The older generation of Lords had exhausted their potential. They could not step into the realm of the Mythical even if they wanted to.


    [Lin Yao: Once a Mythical Overlord is born, the Dark Screen is bound to be eradicated.]


    They understood why the secret organization wanted to sabotage the Inter-Campus Tournament.


    ‘It is said that a Mythical Overlord hasn’t been born in almost a thousand years!’ recalled Su Wan. ‘Thest one existed a thousand years ago.’


    Su Wan sighed and ended her chat with her friends. She looked at Xu Yuan.


    “I need your assistance in the Inter-Campus Tournament,” she said. After learning that Xu Yuan might be an SSS-ss hero, her ambition and her resolve got stronger. She wanted to try to make it to the Top Ten to take a shot at bing a Mythical Overlord.


    Su Wan was talking to Xu Yuan in a very serious tone but he was immersed in his own thoughts. This was because Xu Yuan was now facing an important problem.


    ‘Which skill should I upgrade?’ thought Xu Yuan.
