“Alright, whoever dares not is a—”
Ye Lao Er nodded in agreement and said, “That’s the logic, but isn’t there Lin Zhan who just appeared? Does Lin Zhan look like someone who’s about to fail?”
Long Meier shook his head and said,
“Master, does whether he’s capable or not even matter? It all depends on the outcome of the next battle to decide who will be crowned in the future. If Lin Zhan is truly in decline, then his actions are intended to cripple our Myriad Races’ strength in this battle, creating time for his successor to grow.”
“If Lin Zhan is fine, he also intends to defeat our Myriad Races’ allied army in one battle, leaving humanity with ten years of golden development time. To put it mildly, if I am inferior to Lin Zhan, are there any among the younger generation of the Myriad Races who are stronger than me?”
Ye Lao Er sighed and said, “Indeed, the struggle for destiny is not just about us old fellows fighting, but also the trial path for you juniors. Only by walking this path can one truly be crowned king. I’ll help you assemble the army. Do you really intend to have so many people?”
Long Meier nodded with resolute eyes, “Lin Zhan has opened the stakes, so I shall accept them. Master, please assemble the forces as Lin Zhan suggested.”
Lin Zhan and his group did not return directly to Huaxia, but instead went to the Human King’s Hall, which guarded the battlefield of the Myriad Races.
As Yu Longyan and the others entered, they saw Bai Qi, the God of Slaughter, and Caesar glaring at each other.
Caesar glanced over and immediately saw Lin Zhan, who was sealed in ice. He lost his composure at once:
“Damn, you kid, why are you here again? I’m telling you, even if you kill me this time, my family won’t have the money to fund your military expenses. Anyway, our Caesar family has shed blood for humanity. If you’re not afraid of being infamously known, then kill my entire clan.”
Yu Longyan looked at Caesar with surprise. Damn, after such a short time, this kid dared to threaten Lin Zhan.
He then said to Caesar, “Caesar, if I were you, I absolutely wouldn’t say such things. Lin Zhan is having a mental breakdown right now, his brain isn’t working properly. Be careful he doesn’t really exterminate your family.”
Caesar, who was originally full of bluster, immediately became incredibly timid upon hearing Yu Longyan’s words: “Great Ancestor, you’re not tricking me, are you? This is no laughing matter. This kid really dares to kill me.”
Lin Zhan bared his two small white teeth and asked Caesar with a sinister grin:
“Do I dare to kill you?”
“Yes.”
“Do you have money this time?”
“Yes.”
“Will you pay military expenses?”
“Yes.”
“Is it voluntary?”
“Yes.”
Lin Zhan, looking at the utterly submissive Caesar, couldn’t help but laugh happily. As he laughed, he sang:
“I’m mentally ill, I don’t pay for killing, drifting in the Jianghu, everyone carries a knife. If I want money, you give it; if I want your life, you have to accept it. Wahahaha.”
Caesar was originally just timid, but after hearing Lin Zhan’s song, he was so frightened that he trembled: My god, what kind of normal person would say such things? This is clearly a late-stage mental illness.
Lin Zhan laughed, and then looked at everyone’s resentful gazes. He then suppressed his smile and said to Yu Longyan with a serious expression:
“Alright, Old Ancestor, release me. I was just pretending. I’m actually not sick.”
Yu Longyan covered his face and said to Shang Tang beside him, “It’s over, his condition has worsened. Those who are mentally ill always claim they aren’t sick.”
Shang Tang nodded with a serious expression, “You’re right. If it gets any worse, he’ll start claiming to be a doctor. I’ll have to ask Wu Ding when I get back where he got his mental illness treated.”
Lin Zhan looked at these two old men and then activated his soul power: “Da Xing Huo.”
A fireball the size of a quail’s egg, carrying a soul-shattering pressure, appeared before Lin Zhan and directly shattered the ice.
“Damn, are mentally ill people this strong? Isn’t your Da Xing Huo something you can only cultivate after reaching the Emperor level?” Yu Longyan stared with wide eyes and said to Shang Tang in surprise.
Seeing Shang Tang hesitating to speak, Lin Zhan chuckled and said, “Surprised? Shocked? Did it startle you?”
“Alright, two Old Ancestors, stop looking so ignorant. I’ve returned to our ancestral court. Ancestor Zi Qi said my talent is exceptional, my roots are wondrous, and my soul is powerful. I am a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years. Therefore, he bestowed upon me a seed of Da Xing Huo, allowing me to nurture it slowly.”
As soon as Lin Zhan finished speaking, Yu Longyan and Shang Tang exchanged serious glances.
“Zi Tang, I can confirm it now. He was just pretending. He’s really not sick.”
Shang Tang nodded in agreement and said, “Indeed, Old Ancestor Yan, I also confirm it. This kid is perfectly fine because a mentally ill person wouldn’t say such shameless words.”
