The Three Rules of the King of Assassins

Although the Artist was an autonomous organization, this word could not be simply.

It did not mean that you could give yourself a name like 'Artist' just because you became an assassin with Rank A. 

A true Artist needed to meet three conditions.

The first condition was that the original body's strength was at least at Rank s and above.

The second condition was that one's capability to accomplish missions must be above Rank S. 

The third condition was that one had performed a mission above Rank SS.

Only an assassin who met these three conditions was qualified to be called an Artist.

For this reason, out of the tens of thousands of people in the world of assassins, only forty people were truly recognized as Artists.

And every artist had their own characteristics, as well as their own artistic code names.

For example, Card, God, Dominators, Thousand Faces, and so on.

These names were not randomly chosen. Every name was a symbol of their strength.

For example, the Card Artist would never use any weapons or sticks to kill people. Instead, he would use cards made of pure gold. Then, at lightning speed, he would carry out a mission in front of countless people. When the mission was over, nobody would be able to find him, including the police.

Another example would be the Thousand Faces. Every time he assassinated someone, he would use a different face. His disguising skills were so high that no one could compare to him. He would even directly disguise himself as the other party's relatives and friends during an s-rank mission.

It could be said that every artist was no longer a simple assassin. Instead, they were death gods one after another!

As long as there was nothing that they couldn't accomplish in their next mission, it would only be a matter of time.

Under such circumstances, their disciple had definitely obtained a mantle, and his strength was definitely not something they could imagine.

If it was just the beloved disciple of an artist, Elise would not be so shocked.

What truly shocked her was the four disciples of a conferred assassin, as well as the disciple of a former king of assassins.

The disciples of such people were truly terrifying! ! !

In the world of assassination, the severity of their ranks was not inferior to that of ancient officials.

Assassins below Rank B were all rookie assassins.

Assassins below Rank A were all ordinary assassins.

S-rank assassins were elite assassins.

SS-rank assassins were top-notch assassins.

SSS Star assassins could all be classified as artists. Although they were not recognized, their strength was actually not much different from artists.

When they reached the level of ten-star killers, they could be extremely terrifying super experts.

Such killers were hard to find.

It could be said that no one dared to look down on killers who could reach this level.

And when they reached this level, they basically did not deal with so-called missions. What they did was either a force that ruled the world, and everything they did was enough to affect some countries, and even some small countries' conflicts, they had to rely on them to resolve it.

However, title assassins were not the strongest.

The truly strongest was the king of assassins that Elise had mentioned before.

What was the king of Assassins?

The strength of one person was equivalent to a million strong troops in the world!

To reach this level, it did not mean that you could arrive just by completing a few missions. Instead, you had to participate in the king of Assassins competition that was held once every five years.

This competition was held once every five years. Just the conditions of participating in the competition alone were enough to deter many people. 

There were only three conditions.

However, each condition caused countless assassins to sigh.

Those below SS grade could not participate in the competition.

Those who had not completed an SSS grade mission alone could not participate in the competition.

Those who had a lower success rate could not participate in the competition.

Out of these three rules, only the first one was considered the easiest.

After all, as long as the SS killer was diligent, hardworking, talented, and courageous, there was still a chance before the age of 40.

As for the second rule, the killers would automatically give up.

SSS-level mission, wasn't that a world-shaking mission???

This mission was no longer something that could be measured by money. Normally, the reward was not a number, but some oil field, or some country's underground forces ruling for 10 years. Only under these conditions could the official issue an SSS-level mission.

Similarly, under such rich conditions, the mission's goal was terrifying.

Even the most trashy existence was a crown prince.

If it was a team that carried out this mission, the success rate might be 20-30% .

But to let an individual carry out the mission alone and deal with a person of this level was simply a joke. The success rate was less than 5% .

There were consequences of losing one's life at any time.

Therefore, the second rule basically filtered out 99% of the people in the assassin world.

As for the third rule, it was even more difficult.

To upgrade from an S assassin to an SSS assassin, one would need to complete more than 1,000 missions.

And out of these 1,000 missions, one could only fail 20 times. On average, out of every 100 missions, one could only make two mistakes.

As the saying goes, there was no such thing as walking along the river without getting your shoes wet. A person would make mistakes even when doing something, let alone executing a mission?

For an assassin, it was already very impressive if the success rate reached around 10% .

To be able to reach 90% was a talent of the assassin world.

To reach 95% , that was definitely a top figure.

For this reason, under this situation, 90% was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.

Therefore, under various conditions, when the king of Assassins competition was held every year, the number of people who could enter the venue would definitely not exceed 50.

After selecting these people, these people would finally gather together and begin the competition.

In the competition, there would not be any second or third place evaluation, only one person would be evaluated.

This person was the king of assassins.

Therefore, when he found out that there were actually disciples of the king of Assassins, artists, and some top-notch experts among the participants this year, how could Elise not be shocked.

"It shouldn't be." After pondering for a while, Elise still frowned and began to mutter.

According to the previous competitions, these people's disciples would not be announced even if they wanted to participate. They would only be allowed to join anonymously.

Why was it announced directly this time?

There was only one strange thing about Elise. These people announced it so openly.

As the disciples of top-tier assassins, they were all well protected.

The masters all hoped that their disciples would be able to perfectly inherit their mantle. When they were old and could not take it anymore, they would still have a disciple to support them. This was a very normal thought and practice.

Therefore, in the face of such a big competition, the top bosses would not reveal the name of their disciples.

Instead, they would only tell everyone after the competition was over.

The main reason for doing all this was to prevent people from keeping an eye on their disciples and destroying their years of hard work in advance.

But now, these people were directly exposed, and not just one, but many of them.

There must be something wrong behind the abnormality. It was indeed fishy.
