The Adventurers' Guild doesn't automatically award you a medal based on your strength just because you're strong enough. It requires you to rise through the ranks step by step, which makes it quite troublesome for powerful individuals who didn't start out as adventurers.
Some powerful individuals have even stopped pursuing the profession of adventurer altogether.
Roya became an adventurer primarily for the sake of making money and gaining fame.
Reputation is actually quite important in this world. Don't be fooled by the fact that S-class adventurers are just a bunch of chickens and dogs, and the top combatants in this world can't even speak up. But if you ask the masses, they will know more about S-class adventurers.
After being promoted to B-rank adventurer, Roya glanced at the sky, estimated that it was about time, and set off directly back to the palace.
After teaching a few cooks how to cook in the kitchen, Luo Ya took the cooked food to Luo Qixi's room and had lunch with her. Afterwards, Luo Ya discussed the origin of life with Luo Qixi again.
Exploring the origins of life always takes a lot of mental energy. In short, Luo Qixi couldn't withstand such frequent discussions, so she handed over the afternoon training to Luo Ya and went to sleep.
Having inexplicably taken over Luo Qixi's mess, Luo Ya felt helpless, but despite his helplessness, he still had to do what needed to be done.
So they set aside an hour in the afternoon to train the soldiers.
However, compared to Loki's training, Roya's training was much more intense, because Loki's magic always involved chanting a spell, which, although very fast, also had a pre-cast animation.
Koroya is different; he can casually unleash a fireball or a water ball.
Although the magic was not very powerful, several people were affected by the sudden appearance of the spells.
The training time for the soldiers passed quickly; an hour was not a long time, and it was over in the blink of an eye.
After greeting Jin Jie, Luo Ya left work and went to the Adventurers' Guild to continue his quest.
Today's task is to advance to Rank A adventurer, so there won't be so many troublesome things in the future.

It was dusk, and the setting sun cast its last rays across the entire earth.
The dim, yellow earth radiated boundless vitality, and the adventurer was struggling to defeat a magical beast.
Suddenly, he saw a dark figure, moving with incredible speed like an arrow released from a bow. The dark figure held a black longsword in its right hand, which exuded an ominous aura. The sword was as black as ink, and the adventurer's first thought was 'Demon Sword'.
The man reaped all the demons before him like the Grim Reaper. His demonic sword transformed into a dark arc, slaying one demon after another. No matter the size of the demon, the demonic sword could easily pierce its body. The figure never stopped. His movements were swift and fluid, and blood splattered wherever he went, but the figure did not stop.
One minute? Or two minutes?
When the adventurers came to their senses, the ground was a mess, with bright red bloodstains everywhere. All twenty magical beasts were dead, their corpses still warm, and the stench of blood filled the land.
He gazed at the figure from afar. The dark figure stopped where the last magical beast had fallen. The adventurer remembered that the beast was a B-rank crocodile-armored beast. According to intelligence, its scales could block a mid-level mage's fireball spell.
But it had no effect whatsoever on the dark figure and the demonic sword. The dark blade pierced straight into the crocodile-armored beast's body, and its three-meter-long body fell straight down, just like the demon in front of it.
Terrifying! This was terrifying power. The adventurer trembled, looking at the dark figure with awe.
However, what he didn't expect was that the swordsman withdrew all his black magic, revealing a handsome young man.
His eyesight was excellent; even from a great distance, he could vaguely make out the swordsman's face.
He was very handsome, a classic example of a dashing young man.
The other person had dazzling long golden hair; such a distinctive feature would allow them to easily identify themselves with a simple inquiry.
Most importantly, he is young.
Suddenly, the adventurer's pupils contracted sharply. He was that young adventurer, the one who had reached rank B in just one morning.
He was just standing by watching the fun at the time, but unexpectedly, he ran into the boy again this afternoon.
Since then, a story has circulated in the Adventurers' Guild: the Swift Demon Swordsman.
Roya is known as the "Demon Sword" Roya.
Roya had also noticed the adventurer, but he ignored him. After finishing the quest, he happily went to the guild to collect his bounty and then went home to find Loki to get closer to.
Family members, school starts tomorrow, and tomorrow's chapter has been posted today!
Chapter 168 Preparing to Leave
The next day, when Roya returned to the Adventurers' Guild, he found someone looking at him with a strange expression.
Luo Ya was already used to these things. Not to brag, but with his current appearance, he was very deceptive and usually attracted the attention of a large group of beautiful girls.
If this is the case normally, then it's even more true given the recent series of big moves by Luo Ya.
The current state of Roya can only be described as extremely high-profile. In just two days, he has upgraded from a C-rank adventurer to an A-rank. It is estimated that in a while, even an S-rank adventurer will be easily defeated.
Moreover, during the upgrade process, everyone could only see a sense of ease in each other's expressions, as if it were all perfectly natural.
The fact that Roya could complete these tasks so efficiently is enough to prove how terrifying his strength is.
And last night, there was also a rumor circulating.
According to an adventurer who wished to remain anonymous, he had the privilege of witnessing Roya's prowess in the afternoon. The adventurer revealed that Roya could conjure a jet-black longsword out of thin air. When Roya grasped the longsword, an extremely ominous aura emanated from him, and the jet-black longsword was also enveloped by this aura, making the sword seem like a demonic sword.
The power of the Demon Sword is undeniable; it can easily tear through the defenses of any monster, even its prized scales.
In short, the adventurer's vivid descriptions successfully created an extremely powerful character with an evil aura.
However, the female adventurers beside him raised doubts, as some of them did not believe what he said.
Here's why: A boy this sunny and cheerful couldn't possibly be like what you described.
When the female adventurers said this, the male adventurers nearby were unhappy and joined forces to contradict them.
The conflict between the two sides has escalated from the initial Roya issue into a partisan struggle, as if whoever admits defeat will lose.
Meanwhile, the name "Demon Sword" Roya also spread during this argument.
As usual, Roya went to the counter. It was the same young girl again. She glanced at Roya and teased, "Oh, isn't this Demon Sword Roya? What kind of mission are you looking for this time?"
Roya was slightly taken aback by the other person's words. He casually glanced at the bounty posters beside him, picking out some places that weren't too far from this country. At the same time, Roya asked the girl curiously, "What's this? Is it my nickname?"
The girl gave a sly smile and said, "Yes, your deeds have spread far and wide lately, and everyone's talking about you."
Luo Ya shrugged and said indifferently, "Whatever, but this title is quite fitting."
To be honest, Roya's trump card right now is still the Demon Sword.
It is a king-level magic that can be cast instantly without any preparation, and can be used in conjunction with swordsmanship, instantly boosting Roya's combat power to an extremely terrifying level.
Calling it a demon sword is quite fitting.
However, based on his status as a Sword King, he should actually be called the [Demon Sword King], but the title of Demon Sword sounds quite nice, so he reluctantly accepted it.
After exchanging a few jokes with the other party, Luo Ya set off with the mission in hand.

——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——-——
Time passes by just like that, and no matter how reluctant we are to let it go, it will pass by in a hurry.
Luo Ya's stay was not long; another three days passed. No matter how much he missed Luo Qixi's scent, time waits for no one.
For three days, Luo Ya could almost be described as living a life of debauchery, indulging in Luo Qixi's warm embrace and the little girl's soft body.
But as the saying goes, a beautiful woman of sixteen is as soft as butter, with a sword at her waist to slay fools; no heads fall in the open, but the lord's marrow is drained in the shadows.
The threat from gods and men has not yet been eliminated, so it is unwise to be so greedy for beauty. Only when he has enough strength can he protect those he wants to protect.
Today, Luo Ya prepared to say goodbye to Luo Qixi.
Although Loki still felt reluctant to part with him, Roya's previous appearance served as a reminder to her that even with the strength of a Sword King, Roya still had many troubles.
There is no true freedom in this world. Luo Ya has his own things to do, and Luo Qixi has her own things to do. How could Luo Qixi not see what Luo Ya is hiding? However, since Luo Ya is unwilling to talk about it, it means that she has no right to worry about it. Luo Qixi can only wait and wait for the boy to be willing to share his worries.
In the morning, Roya went to the kitchen for the last time, cooked one last breakfast, and also gave the self-proclaimed apprentice cooks a good thrashing.
When the cooks heard the news that their master was about to leave, they were all in tears, hugging each other and crying.
This left Roya speechless.
Luo Ya underestimated the impact of food on this world, especially on these chefs. The cooking techniques that Luo Ya taught were nothing special in his previous life, but in this era, they had a significant impact on them.
Learning to cook from Luo Ya opened up the minds of all the chefs on the scene. They went from simply cooking the food until it was cooked through to focusing on how to remove the fishy smell and add flavor, how to adjust the heat, and how to prevent the meat from becoming tough. They also learned about Luo Ya's five or six points of the cooking time.
And it is precisely this five or six points of perfection that basically symbolizes their ability to act with impunity in this country.
As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." A teacher is like a second parent. Although Luo Ya liked to scold them during the few days he stayed in the kitchen, it is undeniable that Luo Ya was willing to teach them for free, without any concern that the master would starve after teaching the apprentice.
Of course, this is also related to the fact that Roya never considered this skill as a means of making a living.
And so, amidst the cries, Roya left the kitchen.
The cries were so sincere and mournful that the palace maids and guards nearby gathered around to watch, and those who didn't know better would have thought that their parents had passed away.
Luo Ya arrived at Luo Qixi's room.
He placed the food in front of Luo Qixi, took out a soup spoon, and smiled at her, saying, "It's the last day. Who knows when we'll meet again? Let me feed you this time."
Luo Qixi raised her eyes, her azure eyes fixed on Luo Ya's. Luo Qixi was no longer the shy Luo Qixi of the past; now, she had become a qualified veteran driver.
Now, Luo Qixi can easily face all kinds of teasing from Luo Ya without changing her expression.
Luo Qixi nodded, sat down in the chair, and waited for Luo Ya to feed her.
Luo Ya placed the food on the table, the aroma of the food mingling with the rice. Luo Ya gently shook a spoon, blew on it to warm it, and Luo Qixi opened her cherry-like mouth. Luo Ya then fed the food to her.
Luo Qixi's eating posture is very cute, and the way she chews food is even cuter, just like a little hamster.
