For Li Kuang, these are not problems. His current major attributes, even if he does not wear any equipment, are comparable to or even surpass those players who have reached level 20.

He cares about his own level, but he doesn't care much, because even if he doesn't upgrade, he has a way to quickly improve his strength.

After consulting with "Zhuge" and others, he had just advanced to level 11 and rushed directly into the monster area above level 15 and went deeper and deeper.

Behind him, there were only dried monster corpses, recording the battles and fights he had experienced along the way.

In a blink of an eye, another month passed.

The new issue of the "Black Iron City Daily" ushers in the release date.

Early in the morning, every newspaper sales point was already full of players, and some people even lined up more than an hour in advance, which was crazy.

The ‘Black Iron City Daily’ is not expensive, only 10 silver coins per piece. This price may be outrageous in the novice village, but in the Black Iron City, basically all players can afford it.

With this industry, the [Shadow] Mercenary Group has made a lot of money.

At the beginning, many mercenary groups had coveted this money tree, either trying to compete or simply taking action against [Shadow]. Unfortunately, in the end, they all returned in a defeat.

Even the current first mercenary group [Yanhuang] was unable to take down [Shadow].

Now, [Shadow] can be said to be the most special mercenary group in Black Iron City. No one knows where their core and senior personnel are. It seems to be everywhere, but there is nowhere else, just like its name, like a shadow.

They maintain absolute neutrality and will not favor any force. Whether it is a big boss or a down-and-out player, as long as they have money, they can do business with them.

Their business is similar to the [Shadow] Mercenary Group in the Novice Village No. 1034, but it is more specific and has more projects.

"One minute is left, we will see a new round of combat power rankings soon. I wonder if there will be another dark horse that will emerge this time?!"

Some players spoke with expectations in their eyes.

When on Earth, movie stars are the main targets that many ordinary people pay attention to in their spare time, and in this world, ordinary players focus on those experts standing at the top of the pyramid.

Many ordinary players are chasing those celebrity masters, and their madness is no less than those crazy fans who chase stars on Earth before.

"There must be some. In the last issue, there was a guy named 'Tian Can'. Didn't he just go from unknown to the 50th place in one fell swoop? And I heard that he challenged several top experts this week, and the rankings will probably be raised!" Someone responded loudly.

"Tsk, you superficial guys, what do you think of the combat power list? Isn't he good at the beauty list?" Some players curled their lips, looking like you are all crazy.

"Fragrant... a ball! If you can watch it, you can't touch it. I might as well take the time to go to the 'Liuxiang Pavilion' to have fun. That's real!"

"Brother, I have a good experience, why not take a guy later? I have a silver card from Liuxiang Pavilion, and there is a discount!"

"Then the relationship is good, what are you waiting for? Let's go now?"

"Walk!"

The player's discussion was quite "right" at the beginning, but as they were chatting, they started to be in a mess.

Fortunately, not long after, the "Black Iron City Daily" started to be released.

Most players disperse one after another after buying newspapers, but some players gathered together, looking at the newspapers while opening their mouths to give advice.

"Damn!"

Suddenly, a man in blue armor exclaimed, attracting the attention of many players.

"Who is this savage? I didn't see it in the last issue, so why did you rush into the top ten of the combat power list? Has anyone ever heard of this person?" The man held the newspaper, his eyes wide open, as if he had seen something amazing.

Hearing his words, some players hurriedly came over, while most players quickly opened the newspaper and found the combat power list to check it carefully.

Finally, everyone saw that a new name appeared at the ninth position of the trophy, which squeezed down Xu Lianqing, the original "Fairy Lianhua" in the throne.

——

Ninth place: Li Kuang ([War Alliance] Honorary Deputy Commander, codenamed "Li Wang")

——

"[War Alliance] I have heard of it, one of the five major mercenary groups, but I have never heard of this fierce maniac?" Someone spoke, frowned slightly.

"I know!"

Someone suddenly spoke, instantly attracting everyone's attention. He saw a man with a sharp mouth and a monkey cheek less than 1.6 meters tall. He was not ugly, but his eyes were slithering, adding a bit of a naughty atmosphere to him.

He is the one who just spoke.

"Brother, do you know this crazy man? Let me tell us?" The first man spoke with some anxiety.

"Yes, let's talk about it, let's increase our knowledge." The others followed suit.

Soon, a large number of people gathered around the man with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. Seeing these people looking at him with their eyes shining, the guy seemed to have been greatly satisfied, and his shriveled chest and his head slightly raised.

"Do you know which mercenary group I belong to? I am also from the [War Alliance]!" He patted his chest, "The crazy man in your mouth is the honorary deputy commander of our [War Alliance]!"

"We know this, it doesn't contain it in the newspaper. Say something we don't know!" someone said impatiently.

The man with sharp mouth and monkey cheeks rolled his eyes and said, "Why are you anxious? You must not know this. The reason why Li Kuang was the honorary deputy commander was not because he was not strong enough, but because he didn't want to be the one at all. If he wanted to, the [War Alliance] leader would have to give way now!"

"What are you doing? The leader of the [War Alliance] is now the famous 'female Zhuge'. Not only is he strong in combat, but he is also the top ten beauty list. He has countless fans. How can that crazy man compare with her?!" Someone dissatisfied and retorted.

The man with sharp mouth and cheeks sneered and said, "You don't know this, right? Let me tell you, the current leader of the [War Alliance], "Zhuge", was still a subordinate of Li Kuang before establishing the [War Alliance]!"

"No way?"

"Really? Bragging!"

"It must be fake!"

A few words caused a sudden noise, but most people were still skeptical about the news.

The man with a sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks was a little anxious when he saw so many people who didn't believe him and said loudly: "There are more exciting people. Ling Ao, who is the third in the combat power list, knows? In the novice competition in the novice village, he could only rank second. Who knew the first one?"

"This...can't be that crazy?"

"Yes! It's crazy!"
