Chapter 204 Classification
After a long while, a man dressed as a ninja pushed open the door and walked in. John asked, "Yamamoto-kun, is there any situation on your end?"
This man was named Yamamoto Isoroku. He wore a veil and had a ninja sword at his waist. He was a true ninja.
In R country, ninja style is the mainstream of all martial arts schools in R country, and the ninja ranks are also strictly divided. Ordinary ninjas are called junior ninjas, which refers to those who have learned the basics of the Five Elements Book. Above them are junior ninjas, who are slightly stronger than junior ninjas, have a slightly better grasp of the Five Elements Techniques, and have also learned a little bit of ancient martial arts. They are considered the weaker ones in the ninja ranking. Above them are chunin, who are a little higher in rank than junior ninjas. Their Five Elements Techniques have been properly mastered, and they are no longer the little ninjas who are often bullied. A Chunin is often sufficient to serve as a low-level assassin. Above them are Jonin, a level typically reached by an ordinary person after half a lifetime of training. Jonin are considered core members of ordinary ninja organizations, their Five Elements techniques progressing to advanced levels, and their strength far surpasses that of a Chunin. Next are Human Ninja, a level most people may never reach in their lifetime, far exceeding the power of a Jonin. In some smaller sects, they might be sect leaders. They are often high-ranking assassins or bodyguards for wealthy individuals. Above them are Earth Ninja, who hold high status and absolute power among ninjas. They rarely act, and when they do, it's all or nothing. Therefore, Earth Ninja often serve as top-tier assassins. Above them are Heaven Ninja, a level every ninja aspires to, representing the pinnacle of ninja skill. Heaven Ninja are masters that some sects only produce once every few centuries, their power comparable to the late-stage Nascent Soul realm described in modern cultivation novels. Their true strength far surpasses that of ordinary agents and assassins; they belong to a rare breed among ninjas. They rarely act rashly, often dedicating their entire lives to the study of ninjutsu. Only when an extremely significant event occurs will these masters be forced to act.
In addition, there are the legendary Wuji Ninjas, who are equivalent to gods, but we will not mention them here.
In the entire country of R, there has never been a Heavenly Ninja so far, and there are fewer than ten Earthly Ninjas in total. Yamamoto Isoroku is one of them and holds a pivotal position in R because he is the strongest among all the Earthly Ninjas.
Speaking of ninjas, let's talk about the knights of Country Y. In Country Y, knights are the mainstream of their strength and the core of the Country Y army. As knights, they also have their own ranking system, which is usually divided into six ranks, each rank being distinguished by 1 to 5 stars.
The ranks of knights, from lowest to highest, are: Armed Knight, Brave Knight, Just Knight, Glorious Knight, Great Light Knight, and Holy Knight.
Armed knights are common in Country Y; the country's government army even has a large legion of armed knights. The legion commander is a Knight of Justice. As for Knights of Glory, they are equally rare in Country Y, equivalent to the Earth Ninjas of the R Empire. The man before us, named John, is one of the few Knights of Glory in Country Y. As for the Great Knights of Light, it's said they exist in Country Y, but no one has ever seen one, and their existence is unknown. Paladins are even less of a possibility.
Yamamoto Isoroku, his face grave, shook his head and said, "The auction house is heavily guarded, and we haven't been able to find out anything concrete. However, there is something that will probably surprise you all."
John asked, "What is it?"
Yamamoto Isoroku frowned slightly, his expression becoming increasingly serious, and said, "I have discovered that there are quite a few HX cultivators hiding around this auction house."
"A cultivator?" Charlie and the other two were all startled.
They were no strangers to cultivators, as they themselves were essentially cultivators. They had all studied the early culture of HX, a civilization vast and profound, and had explored its many myths and legends. Although they hadn't come to any definitive conclusions, they knew that many of the great figures in HX's mythology were invincible and real beings. They firmly believed that the gods and immortals spoken of by the people of HX were real; otherwise, the five major schools of martial arts in HX wouldn't have survived to this day. Therefore, in recent years, they had also been studying the martial arts of the five major schools of martial arts in HX, which were naturally Shaolin, Wudang, Kunlun, Emei, and Huashan.
Charlie asked with slight surprise, "Yamamoto-kun, are you sure there are many HX cultivators hiding near the auction house?"
Yamamoto Isoroku nodded and said with certainty, "I witnessed it with my own eyes. Although these cultivators are not very strong, they are not to be underestimated. Therefore, I believe there must be even stronger cultivators in the auction house."
Qiao Ben's face was grave as he said, "Strange. In recent years, we haven't discovered any cultivators in HX. Even Falcon, the strongest individual, was just a person with exceptional combat power, not a cultivator. Moreover, Falcon is now dead, so there shouldn't be any more powerful figures in HX. So who is this mysterious person? Could it be the leader of the Divine Dragon Team?"
Charlie shook his head and said, "It's unlikely. The Dragon Team is HX's special forces. HX wouldn't do something like this so openly."
John began, "Then why has the entire city of S suddenly increased its security, especially in the L district where large forces have appeared? What's the explanation for that?"
Charlie let out a long sigh and said, "HXZF responded to our empire, saying they were unaware of this matter. I believe HX wouldn't be foolish enough to openly oppose so many of our countries. Don't forget, HX has a long history, with countless myths and legends. The Jade Emperor, Buddha, Nuwa, Sun Wukong, and so on are all figures from mythology. Moreover, HX has numerous martial arts sects, primarily Wudang, Huashan, Emei, and Shaolin, with a wide variety of styles and techniques. Therefore, it's not surprising that cultivators exist in HX. Our most important task now is to find out who is behind this auction."
Upon hearing this, everyone else nodded.
For a moment, the room fell silent again. Everyone was trying to figure out who the mastermind behind the auction was, but no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure it out.
