About two months had passed. On the desolate plains of the Dark World, a group of twenty-one people was slowly advancing.
Nie Yan looked ahead; the volcano was already within reach. The journey had taken much longer than they had imagined. The leveling of everyone had been remarkably slow as well. Nie Yan had reached Level 145. Tang Yao, Xie Yao, and others had leveled somewhat faster, but only to Level 146.
However, Nie Yan received some good news during this period. Black Heaven, Hapless Frog, No Path, Monochrome, Edgeless, Happy Hermit, and Fond of the Sunny South, seven of them advanced to top-tier professions. With that, Asskickers United now had twenty-eight top-tier professionals, including all three Divine Priests. Other major guilds like Angel Corp and some scattered players also successfully advanced to top-tier professions, totaling only nine people, three of whom were from Angel Corp.
