...

This night was destined for Qin Fang to not have a peaceful sleep until the morning.

When Luo Xi came to call for Qin Fang in the morning, she found his eyes to be red and his face showing considerable fatigue. It was obvious that he hadn't slept well all night.

"Didn't sleep well?"

Even though Luo Xi really wanted to look down on Qin Fang, she ultimately did not do so. The words that reached her mouth were forcibly choked back. Seeing Qin Fang in such a state, she felt an inexplicable twinge of heartache.

"Maybe I got too excited and couldn't fall asleep…"

Qin Fang found himself a very lame excuse, something nobody would believe upon hearing it.

"Why don't you go back and rest a bit more?"

Luo Xi naturally couldn't believe it, but seeing Qin Fang looking so dejected, she couldn't help but suggest it. Mainly because at that moment, Qin Fang appeared quite dispirited.

"That's not necessary; I just need to wash my face! What did you need me for?"

Qin Fang shook his head. He indeed hadn't slept well. Anyone with a Sword of Damocles hanging over their head wouldn't be in the mood to sleep.

But since things had already come to this, the fact had been sealed, and no matter how worried Qin Fang was, it was useless.

To better complete this ultimate mission, Qin Fang spent the entire night studying the rules of the Assassin's Alliance, as well as some information about the assassin trading platform.

Even though he hadn't started accepting missions yet, he had already gained a considerable understanding of this terrifying killer organization.

The task of becoming the King of Assassins was abnormally extreme, but the benefits were also very abundant. If he ever achieved the day he became the King of Assassins, then he, Qin Fang, would be the king of the entire Underground World.

Although such status couldn't be displayed openly, his slightest moves would tug at the hearts of many big shots all over the world. No one could guarantee that such a terrifying king wouldn't decide to bring down his blade upon them.

With such prospects in mind, coupled with the System's coercion, Qin Fang had no choice but to face the music.

While this mission currently had no time limit, the Assassin's Alliance itself did have restrictions. Unless one declared retirement, one had to follow the Alliance's rules and accept missions within a certain time frame. Moreover, for missions nearby and suitable for the assassin's skill set, the Assassin's Alliance might also actively submit them to the assassin.

With these restrictions, there was no way for Qin Fang to slack off. The idea of using time to drag out the task was utterly unfeasible.

"Your grandparents asked me to call you; they're all waiting for you…"

Luo Xi then remembered the purpose of her visit and stopped persuading Qin Fang to get more rest. After all, a few senior elders were still waiting for him.

Although she was favored by Old Master Wu, she couldn't afford to act arrogantly and upset the other seniors.

"Oh, I'll be right there! I just need to wash my face…"

Qin Fang immediately nodded. When he returned yesterday, he had heard that Elder Ma had arrived and once treated Old Master Wu, temporarily stabilizing his condition.

Qin Fang had wanted to visit him, but it was too late last night, and with the notebook on his mind, he naturally didn't need to go there.

Now that Old Master Wu had sent Luo Xi to call for him, it was clear that several elderly figures must have gathered, and he naturally had to hurry over.

Qin Fang went to wash up while the violent policewoman unexpectedly went to tidy up his room in a rather ladylike manner, which surprised Qin Fang.

Fortunately, there wasn't anything shameful in his room; the laptop had already been tossed into the Props Box, and he had no plans to keep such important items in a safe the way Chen Liang did.

If Qin Fang could pry open a safe, then other stealing experts could do the same.

If one day his safe was tampered with and the notebook stolen, then Qin Fang would be completely finished. The assassins who accepted cleaning missions not only targeted thieves, but the original owner of the notebook—the assassin from the Assassin's Alliance—also bore absolute responsibility and fell within the scope of cleaning.

If that happened, Qin Fang wouldn't even dream of ascending to the throne of the King of Assassins; he might be wiped out by an assassin's cleaning before he even climbed the ranks.

Being summoned by the seniors, Qin Fang naturally dared not delay any longer. He quickly finished his washing up, changed into clean clothes, and hurried over.

When Qin Fang arrived, he indeed saw the three seniors there, plus another elderly person of similar age to the others, whom Qin Fang did not recognize.

"Xiao Qin, come over quickly…"

Elder Ma was the first to see Qin Fang and immediately waved him over while calling out.

"Master, Elder Ma, Old Master Wu, Senior, good morning…"

Qin Fang naturally hurried a few steps to catch up and greeted the elders with the utmost politeness.

"Good! Good... Xiao Qin, let me introduce you, this is Elder Niu Zhensheng, the Grandmaster of Eight Extremes Fist!"

Elder Ma seemed to like Qin Fang even more than Cai Pingyuan did, and before Qin Fang's master Cai Pingyuan had the chance to greet him, Elder Ma had already introduced the smiling, silent elder seated nearby to Qin Fang.

"Greetings, Elder Niu!"

Qin Fang quickly greeted him and couldn't resist sending over a Scouting Skill.

Even though Elder Ma had already informed Qin Fang that Elder Niu was a Grandmaster of Eight Extremes Fist, and that all grandmaster-level experts were at least Level 7,

Qin Fang still found himself facing a grandmaster-level expert for the first time today and couldn't help but cast a Detection Skill.

Now that his level had reached Level 4, his Intermediate Detection Skill allowed him to detect information about experts up to 3 levels above his own, meaning anyone up to Level 7 was within his detection range.

Qin Fang wanted to show off his newly advanced level, but he was quickly dumbfounded...

"Level unknown!"

What the heck, undetectable?

Impossible!

Could there have been a mistake?

Qin Fang immediately wondered and, not willing to give up, cast another Detection Skill, but the result remained—"Level unknown." This time, Qin Fang was completely stunned.

This was not the first time Qin Fang encountered such a situation.

On the contrary, it had happened quite frequently, especially at lower levels, but as his level increased, occurrences like this became less frequent.

Yet, unexpectedly, before ascending to Level 4, Qin Fang was unable to detect Old Master Wu's level, and now, having just advanced to Level 4, he encountered another undetectable Elder Niu...

This was a significant blow to Qin Fang, indeed causing him considerable frustration.

However, Qin Fang was someone who could let go as easily as he picked things up, and he quickly recovered. The world was never short of experts; even though he was currently a registered rookie at the Assassin's Alliance, a one-star Rookie Assassin with a pitiful score of zero and a completion rate of zero,

his goal was the supreme and invincible King of Assassins, the peak powerhouse with a consistent success rate of one hundred percent; that's why he named himself "Supreme."

At Level 4 with an Intermediate Detection Skill unable to detect, there was no doubt this amiable-looking Elder Niu possessed the strongest power among the four elders present, at least a Level 8 expert.

Of course, Qin Fang did not forget to cast a Detection Skill on Old Master Wu, and the result did not disappoint him—Old Master Wu was indeed Level 7, although he was currently extremely weak, probably not even able to perform at the level of Level 3 or 4.

"Hmm, not bad..."

As Qin Fang was assessing Elder Niu, Elder Niu was likewise observing Qin Fang.

He and Old Master Wu, Elder Ma, and Master Cai were old friends for many years with a very harmonious relationship. Elder Niu had intended to visit when Old Master Wu was injured but stayed behind to prepare for the Martial World Conference, of which he was one of the organizers. He was, however, extremely worried in his heart.

Upon hearing that Old Master Wu had been struck by a strange poison, yet someone miraculously cured it, and his condition began to improve gradually, saving his life, he immediately hurried over without stopping, and the four of them gathered together.

The other three old friends unanimously expressed high praise for Qin Fang, a young man—an occurrence not seen for many years. They naturally also wanted to see for themselves what Qin Fang was like.

Upon meeting, Qin Fang was very polite, spoke appropriately, and showed both grace and etiquette, which impressed the senior generations greatly; Qin Fang made an excellent first impression on Elder Niu.

Hearing Elder Niu's evaluation, Qin Fang merely bowed slightly, a gesture of great humility.

For a mighty figure like Elder Niu to evaluate him so positively was indeed very gracious.

However, Qin Fang did not know much about Elder Niu, a person whose strength was incredibly formidable, whose temper was as fierce as the Martial Way he practiced, intolerant of any slight or fault.

Moreover, he had an uncanny ability to judge people accurately, often determining a person's achievements with just a few words. While not always hundred percent precise, his judgments were certainly more than eighty percent correct.

Therefore, many young people in the Martial World hoped to receive even a word of praise from Elder Niu, as it seemed to promise them a very bright future, not realizing that every expert was forged through rigorous cultivation.

If one's ultimate achievements could really be determined by a couple of sentences, wouldn't all of Elder Niu's disciples become grandmaster-level experts?

In fact, Elder Niu's disciples had not particularly stood out, which was a source of some frustration for the old master, and it was often a point of criticism among some martial elders.

But Qin Fang was unaware of these subtleties. To him, at least for the present, Elder Niu was an elite expert to be looked up to, a target to strive and catch up with in the future. Moreover, Qin Fang was convinced that he would definitely surpass such a Level 8 expert one day and become an even stronger or perhaps the strongest existence! (To be continued.
