...
Every second was important. I turned around and charged out of the hall, following the mountain path and heading out of the mountain that the five outer locations were at. In front of me were wide plains and a swamp.A path far ahead led to Black Castle. Rows of Undead Cavalry and Darkness Cavalry galloped to and fro. They held a black flag and this was the mark of Black Castle. At the same time, I could see many younger generation undead cultivators training outside.
After walking for ten minutes to the border of Black Castle, a thirty-meter wall appeared in front of me. This was the outer city wall called Wall of Darkness. This wall spread a hundred miles and circled around the entire Black Castle. On it were many red marks, and World Ender power flowed through it. This wall was what prevented the Dimension Legion and human empire from wiping out Black Castles residents.
"Hey, kid, stop!"
On the Wall of Darkness, a bunch of bow-wielding undead looked at me. One of them held a sharp sword and asked coldly, "Who are you?Why are you heading out?"
I held my identity token and said, "I am Wind Cloud Platform's July Wildfire; I am under orders to head out and complete my quest!"
"Oh? So you are from the Wind Cloud Platform."He nodded. "Open the gate and let him out!"
"Yes, sir!"
Beneath the wall, two bug-infested giant beasts pulled the ropes and raised the iron gate. Their stench entered my nose while I charged out. I shouted at the two beasts, "Okay, I am out.Brothers, you can put it down; don't get too tired!"
On the wall, the defending general laughed. "This kid is interesting; I like him!"
...
After heading out of the walls, the map changed. It was not a Black Castle filled only with death energy but a wide wilderness. In it were many black-colored dogs. They looked really hungry and their fur was standing on end. They looked like starving wolves, their saliva dripping off their teeth. When they saw me, they looked like they had seencheap pork.

...
I was finally here!
The first Darkness Hunting Dogs pounced on me and slashed with its fangs!
"It is July Wildfire!"
"What is that kid doing? Why is he so anxious?"
I ignored them and headed to the corner of the hall. I found the NPC elder who gave me the mission and passed him with the items. "Elder, I have completed it; quick, advance me!"
"Good, very good!"
He looked at me with praise. "July Wildfire, you actually killed so many Darkness Hunting Dogs very quickly. That is great.Do you know how annoying they are?They sneak-attackcarriages transporting herbs and resources and eat many zombies and undead.D*mn..."
I was filled with despair. "Elder, quick..."
He nodded. "This time, not only did you kill these Darkness Hunting Dogs, you also proved that our younger generation has strength to head out. Scoff! Dimension Legion is so dumb to think that we are ants, but I believe that our younger generation will prove ourselves and our value."
I wanted to die and tears flowed down my face.
"Kid."He placed his hand on my shoulder and his eyes were really gentle. "I thought about the past. When I was your age, I was an innocent young skeleton and waved wooden swords. For you to bring back these fangs, I saw not only strength but also the youth that I lost..."
"I..."I clenched my fists and wanted to use Dragon Will on him.
"Done."
He looked at me and smiled. "You have proven your strength!"
My face was filled with hope. "So I can advance now?!"
"Yes."He nodded. "There aren't many to complete such an advancement ritual. Only hundreds of people have done so in the past ten years. Moreover, many of them are standing at the peak of cultivation and many are fighting with fate. What is our will?We don't back down and we won't yield to anyone and any faction, not to the Dimension Legion or Xuanyuan Empire. We are neutral!"
My gaze scattered. I looked at him and really wanted to die.
"Done."He looked at me once more and walked out from his memories. "July Wildfire, congratulations;you have become a true Assassin.These are your rewards!"

After which, the system asked whether or not I wanted to hide my name. Naturally, I did the same. In the next second, a loud bell reverberated in the sky

Finally, it was done. Moreover, I definitely got famous across the whole server. Third to complete the first advancement. I did not appear on any ranking boards, too. My identity was so mysterious that it would make all the factions guess.
"Ah Fei, let's meet at the old place; trade and then eat!"
"Great~"
