Chapter 427 The Real King_2

Tai Luo pondered for a moment, then answered, "There are about 200 in total, counting both the official First Level Combatants and those who possess near equivalent combat strength."

"But there are only thirty-three Guardians."

"Yes," Tai Luo said with a smile, "The standards for a Guardian are very strict. Not only must one be a Fire Holder, but they must also possess ample honor, enough strength and potential for growth, sufficient wisdom, and leadership abilities. Only the most outstanding individuals can become Guardians."

Jessica nodded lightly, "Tai Luo is right. Guardians are the strongest and most potential among First Level Combatants. Only we have the hope of becoming the most powerful Fire Sons and joining the ranks of Special Level Combatants."

Rod felt both pride and a certain heaviness in his heart. The path to advancement was far more rigorous than he had imagined. His rapid ascension to Guardian had been just a stroke of luck.
