634: Thanks for the compliment!

Lin Yang looked at the Chu Country guy with a half-smile, somewhat surprised that the first one to approach him would be from Chu Country.

This was quite strange.

Hearing this, a faint light flashed in the guy's eyes, and he also smiled, saying:

"Your methods are astonishing, but after killing an Other Species, you need to recuperate and recover, which clearly indicates that those methods consume a great deal of your own energy. It seems you haven't prepared any Dao liquid to restore your Dao power. If you need to slowly recover after killing each Other Species, your efficiency will be extremely poor!"

"However, if you join us, we can provide you with Dao liquid to restore your power. This way, the efficiency of killing Other Species will greatly increase. Even if you share half, it will still be more efficient than killing them yourself!"

He spoke, having already assessed Lin Yang's current situation, which is why he presented this condition.

He also believed that as long as Lin Yang wasn't foolish, he wouldn't refuse.

This was a win-win situation!

However, Lin Yang merely smiled faintly: "Sorry, I won't join."

What the guy said was indeed true; he couldn't afford Dao liquid and had to recover slowly, so his efficiency in killing Other Species was indeed not high.

But, cooperate with Chu Country?

That was impossible!

Not an ounce of cooperation.

He would rather be slow than choose to cooperate with Chu Country.

The Chu Country guy was stunned: "You refuse? You kill them yourself, with such slow efficiency, and you actually refuse?"

"I don't have a habit of cooperating with others," Lin Yang said indifferently.

"Hehe, Your Excellency is perhaps a bit too arrogant, willing to kill slowly by yourself rather than choose a mutually beneficial arrangement," the Chu Country guy said with dissatisfaction.

Lin Yang ignored him.

If it were another great country speaking, he might consider it, but Chu Country was completely out of the question.

His gaze swept over the people from the other great countries, but no one seemed inclined to speak again.

Apparently, his refusal of Chu Country had shown his attitude to the people of the other great countries, and no one wanted to come forward and make a fool of themselves.

Lin Yang didn't care and continued to recuperate.

Seeing this, a cold glint flashed in the Chu Country guy's eyes, and he said again: "Your Excellency, are you really not going to reconsider?"

"No," Lin Yang shook his head.

As soon as he said this, the Chu Country guy's expression immediately turned grim. He exchanged glances with the other Chu Country people and then coldly snorted:

"Your Excellency, I advise you to agree, or else, you won't even think about continuing to kill Other Species here!"

"Hmm? What do you mean?" Lin Yang looked up at him.

"Hehe, exactly what it sounds like," the guy smiled indifferently.

"Are you sure you want to stop me from killing Other Species?" Lin Yang looked at him.

"Your Excellency's strength is indeed great, but you don't have much power left now, do you?"

The Chu Country guy smiled faintly:

"Let alone that you have no strength to spare now, even in your peak state, Other Species are foolish, but we are not comparable to Other Species. If Your Excellency does not join, then don't even think about killing Other Species."

Lin Yang immediately understood what the guy meant and couldn't help but sneer: "Now that it's difficult for you to kill Other Species, you don't want me to kill Other Species and get a higher ranking? You want to protect your own ranking?"

The Chu Country guy smiled noncommittally, not denying it.

Because Lin Yang was right.

He indeed didn't want Lin Yang to continue killing Other Species.

They were slow at killing Other Species, and while Lin Yang's efficiency was low, he killed Other Species easily.

If this continued, it was a foregone conclusion that his trial points would surpass theirs and even all the great countries.

Since there was no cooperation, then don't even think about getting a trial ranking!

Chu Country had always acted domineeringly, especially concerning important matters of trial rankings.

As for the power Lin Yang had just displayed, although formidable, he didn't take it to heart, after all, Other Species were indeed foolish and didn't understand magic.

Killing Other Species and killing people were two different concepts.

They also had ultimate treasures as trump cards, so they didn't care about an ordinary strong person at all.

Lin Yang looked at the guy and smiled: "I've long heard of Chu Country's name; today I've truly experienced it."

"Hmph, Your Excellency, either join us, or leave this place now, otherwise, don't blame me for not warning you in advance," the guy directly forced Lin Yang to make a choice.

Lin Yang maintained a faint smile: "Sorry, I choose neither."

"Then Your Excellency is going to be an enemy of our Chu Country?" the guy said coldly.

"If you say so, then so be it," Lin Yang said indifferently.

Originally, Chu Country was in the open and he was in the dark, so Lin Yang hadn't thought of confronting Chu Country too early.

But now that Chu Country had taken the initiative to pick a fight, he naturally wouldn't back down.

Anyway, Chu Country wasn't in the Mirage Domain, and it wouldn't be so easy for them to find trouble with him outside of the Shi Yuan Land.

Seeing Lin Yang like this, all the Chu Country people's expressions turned cold: "Since you refuse a toast and prefer a forfeit, then leave this body here."

Saying that, the Chu Country people were about to make a move.

Lin Yang, however, said unhurriedly: "Besides Chu Country, whichever country helps me deal with Chu Country, I am willing to cooperate with them to get a ranking!"

As soon as these words came out, all the Chu Country people's faces suddenly changed dramatically.

And all the people from the other great countries who were originally watching the show were instantly invigorated!

Actually, they had all wanted to invite Lin Yang earlier, but Chu Country spoke too quickly, and Lin Yang refused decisively, making them too embarrassed to invite him again.

But now, Lin Yang's words made the hearts of the other great countries burn with eagerness.

They had already witnessed Lin Yang's speed in killing Other Species.

As long as there was enough Dao liquid to support Lin Yang's recovery, even if he shared half with them, they could far surpass everyone else!

Immediately, someone from another country, Lanlou Country, spoke up: "Is Your Excellency's word true?"

"Naturally, it's true," Lin Yang gave an affirmative reply, "We can swear a Dao oath as proof."

Hearing this, the Lanlou Country people became happy again: "Haha, good! Then, Your Excellency, rest assured, these Chu Country fellows, leave them to us!"

The leaders of several other great countries also vied with each other: "Your Excellency, we can too! Leave Chu Country to us!"

Although Chu Country was powerful, their countries were just as strong!

Seeing this, the Chu Country people's expressions changed again, becoming furious.

The speaking leader angrily shouted at the Lanlou Country leader and the other leaders:

"Are you going to go against my Chu Country?"

"Hehe, Shang Bo, we are protecting this Your Excellency. If you know what's good for you, scram!"

Wan Fei, the leader of Lanlou Country, didn't put Shang Bo's words in his eyes at all.

As fellow great countries, they had previously coexisted peacefully because this trial didn't have much competitiveness.

But now, Lin Yang's appearance had broken the balance. Whoever could get Lin Yang's cooperation would take the lead in this trial.

As a fellow great country, Lanlou Country naturally had no fear of Chu Country.

Xu Kui, the leader of another great country, Xiaofeng Country, also sneered:

"Shang Bo, you are too domineering, but this is clearly not a place where your Chu Country can run rampant. Now that you've displeased that Your Excellency, hurry up and scram, lest we make a move and you even have to leave your main bodies behind!"

Shang Bo was instantly enraged: "Then let's fight and see!"

"Hehe, Shang Bo, everyone knows each other's roots and trump cards. Who doesn't know the other's trump cards? If it's one-on-one, none of us can do anything to each other, but now, we are ganging up on you. Do you think you have the strength to resist?"

Wan Fei of Lanlou Country succinctly stated Chu Country's current predicament.

Normally, it would be difficult for any of them to deal with each other, but now everyone wanted to secure cooperation with Lin Yang, so several great countries were ganging up on Chu Country.

Multiple against one, even Chu Country couldn't withstand it!

Shang Bo's eyes turned red with anger: "Wan Fei! Xu Kui! And you others!"

He pointed at the people from the other great countries, laughing furiously:

"That kid can only cooperate with one party at most. All of you rushing in, aren't you afraid of being eliminated and wasting your efforts?"

"Haha, Shang Bo, what you're saying is too low-level. Even if we don't get chosen, it's nothing. Anyway, we can conveniently eliminate your Chu Country as a major competitor, so why wouldn't we?"

Wan Fei said with a smile.

There were five or six great countries willing to get involved in this matter.

Everyone knew that Lin Yang would only choose one.

But they still chose to act together.

They also wanted to take this opportunity to completely drive out Chu Country.

With one less major competitor, even if they weren't chosen by Lin Yang for cooperation, their ranking could still be at least one place higher!

Such a good thing, everyone naturally wanted to join in the fun!

As for the point that driving away Lin Yang would also mean one less competitor, these great countries hadn't considered that.

After all, as long as Lin Yang offered this condition, at least one great country would be willing to protect him, so driving away Lin Yang was unrealistic.

Shang Bo grew even angrier upon hearing this: "Are you content to make wedding clothes for others? To let that kid and the chosen country take the ranking?"

Saying that, he forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, his eyes shifted, and he said darkly:

"Driving us away, your ranking improves by one spot. Driving this kid away, it's the same!"

"Moreover, if he stays, there's basically no doubt that he and his chosen country will take the top rankings. But if we stay, everyone can still compete for the top rankings. Why don't we work together to drive this kid away, and then each rely on our own abilities to get the rankings!"

Hearing this, Lin Yang's eyes flashed.

This guy, being able to still try to sow discord among them in such a situation, was indeed worthy of being a great country's leader; he had some capability.

However, he still didn't speak.

Because he believed that these great countries wouldn't be swayed by these words.

After all, who didn't want to get the top ranking?

Whether it was him or the great countries, killing Other Species alone was very inefficient.

But if they cooperated, it was very likely that they would get the top rankings.

Even if there was only one cooperation slot, every one of these great countries wanted to secure that slot!

So, Lin Yang didn't speak, still watching indifferently.

And that was indeed the case.

None of the great countries present could refuse the temptation of his cooperation!

Wan Fei of Lanlou Country immediately snorted lightly:

"Alright, Shang Bo, you don't need to use such low-level rhetoric to sow discord anymore. Just scram."

Xu Kui and the people from the other great countries didn't speak, but their attitudes were all equally clear.

"Good, good!" Shang Bo's old face also turned red with anger: "You want us to leave? Then try to make us!"

Of course, he wouldn't leave so easily!

Saying that, he looked at Lin Yang, killing intent erupting:

"Kid, you really have good methods!"

A single sentence had put his Chu Country in a dilemma!

This made him want to kill Lin Yang!

Lin Yang smiled faintly: "Thank you for the compliment."

"You..."

Shang Bo's body swayed instantly with anger, apparently not expecting Lin Yang to respond like that.

Shameless!

He was simply too shameless!

Shang Bo cursed furiously in his heart. (End of chapter)
