102: Ending
“Oh?” Zhang Ziye's face showed a hint of mockery. “Are you talking to me? Can you rely on a Forbidden Spell Scroll your whole life?”
As soon as he said this, it immediately drew a burst of laughter from behind him.
“Boss Zhang, he's wearing a sacred set, so his stats must not be low. Even without a Forbidden Spell Scroll, he’s not a simple person.”
A magician wearing glasses whispered to Zhang Ziye.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than someone retorted, “What else does he have besides a sacred set and a Forbidden Spell Scroll? If it weren't for the equipment advantage, Boss Zhang would crush him in minutes.”
“Lin Ling, you must have gained a lot of experience from killing the BOSS. Hurry up and leave, don't make a fool of yourself.
A level 10 sacred set is nothing impressive. My brother Ziye has already started designing specialized weapon blueprints.
Maybe next month he'll be able to produce the initial blank for a specialized weapon. So, in front of my brother, put away your arrogant attitude.”
A female mage in a red mage robe pouted.
“I heard you have a good relationship with Jis Consortium. The Forbidden Spell Scroll was given to you by the second young master of Ji, wasn't it? I admit he’s very rich, but in this world, money doesn't mean everything.
My boss is the number one genius in Magic City. The moment he awakened, he was directly recommended by the Magic City Base City official to the War God Hall. Do you know the War God Hall? Only the most outstanding seed players from Dragon Nest have a chance to enter the War God Hall.”
A female priest said proudly, as if she herself had been recommended to the War God Hall.
Hearing 'War God Hall', Lin Ling couldn't help but raise a hand to touch his nose.
Seeing his subtle movement, the disdain in Zhang Ziye's eyes deepened a few shades.
“Lin Ling, right? I know your objective. You're making such a big show and climbing the ranks just to attract the attention of the country and get recruited into Dragon Nest.
Actually, all that is superficial. Why don't you acknowledge me as your big brother? Who knows, maybe one day I can get you into the War God Squad. That's the real deal.
How about it? Think about it. There aren aren't many kind-hearted people like me left.”
Zhang Ziye said, lifting his chin as he spoke.
He looked completely confident that he had Lin Ling cornered.
He was a legend of Magic City, and also the pride of Magic City.
Before the rookie rankings appeared, everyone, including many high-ranking officials of Dragon Nest, believed that Zhang Ziye would be this year's top person.
On the day of his awakening, he was given a strength fruit by the official of Magic City Base City.
After eating it, he had over 5000 damage at level 1.
The subsequent legendary set, team BUFF, and Huangpu Badge allowed his stats to directly crush all Professional of the same period.
After his second advancement, his strength attribute reached as high as 3500, and after various enhancements, his physical damage reached a terrifying fifty thousand plus.
This damage even exceeded most third-advancement powerhouses.
After Zhang Ziye finished speaking, he once again drew his bow and aimed at the golden treasure chest on the ground, not putting Lin Ling in his eyes at all.
Among the onlookers in the distance, Zhou Weiguo of Dragon Nest had a cunning glint in his eyes and gently pulled back a Dragon Nest Warriors who wanted to step forward.
And in front of the densely packed crowd on the shore, Chen Aotian, who had intended to rush forward, was gently held back by the quietly appearing Ji Mo.
“Boss's strength far exceeds your comprehension,” Ji Mo said softly, looking at Lin Ling with nothing but admiration.
Chen Aotian nodded blankly and continued to look at Lin Ling.
At this moment, Lin Ling's expression remained unchanged. He walked forward while speaking indifferently,
“Are you done talking? Then move aside.”
“Hmm? Don't know what's good for you?”
Zhang Ziye's eyes immediately narrowed, and a cold glint flashed in his pupils.
“You overestimate yourself, and you underestimate me too much.”
Lin Ling took a step, and everyone's vision blurred. He had already appeared in front of Zhang Ziye.
He raised his hand and placed it on Zhang Ziye's shoulder, slowly pushing him aside.
When Zhang Ziye saw Lin Ling, a mage, trying to push him away, a strong sneer immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.
However, this hint of a disdainful smile had barely appeared before it instantly froze on his face.
He suddenly lowered his head to look at Lin Ling's fair and slender right hand.
An incredibly terrifying power was emanating from that hand.
His 3500 strength attribute had no power to resist at all.
At this moment, Zhang Ziye felt as if he had become an inflatable doll in front of Lin Ling.
As long as Lin Ling wished, he would fly out with a mere flick of his finger.
Zhang Ziye's pupils suddenly contracted, and his throat involuntarily swallowed.
“Is this guy really a mage?”
A fine layer of sweat beads quietly appeared on his forehead.
“Lin Ling, you don't know how to appreciate favors, do you? Do you dare to fight our boss without using a scroll…”
Not far away, one of Zhang Ziye's subordinates had just begun to scold him.
“Shut up!”
Zhang Ziye suddenly let out a loud shout, preventing him from continuing his sentence.
That subordinate looked bewildered, but dared not say anything more.
Lin Ling knew that his strength had already intimidated this self-important kid.
So he slowly turned his head to look at Zhang Ziye, “You are indeed very outstanding, but never underestimate others. You can't open this box, and even if you add everyone, you still can't open it.”
“From your words, you can open it?” The priestess who had previously mocked Lin Ling continued to say coldly.
Lin Ling did not answer, but instead raised the King of Soldiers Hammer in his hand, which had already turned into an ordinary Wolf Tooth Hammer.
His eyes narrowed slightly, and the large hammer fell with a bang.
Bang…
With just one hammer, the golden treasure chest instantly became covered in cracks.
Crack, crack, crack… Boom…
A crisp sound came, and the treasure chest instantly shattered into a pile of golden dust.
Nine pieces of blood-colored equipment appeared before everyone's eyes.
And in front of these pieces of equipment, a crimson heart was still beating non-stop.
Level 40 Epic Set.
Special item, demon king's heart.
Lin Ling's lips curled into a smile.
He raised his hand and collected everything.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were filled with envy.
A strong lemon scent permeated the air.
“What's so great about it? It's just an Epic Set, boo hoo hoo… Why isn't it me who got it?”
“Oh, heavens, oh, earth, seeing him get an Epic Set is even more painful than me only getting a blue piece of equipment.”
“No, when I go back today, I'm going to buy a bucket of paint and paint all my equipment red.”
Sour voices continuously rose from the crowd.
Lin Ling, holding Nannan, turned and left.
“Lin Ling, don't get too complacent too soon. It will become increasingly difficult for Laws Darling to level up, and after I enter the War God Hall, I'll have special experience dungeons. In less than a year, I'll be able to reach 5th advancement, and in at most ten years, I might be able to challenge 6th advancement. Within thirty years, I have the possibility of challenging 7th advancement, while you will eventually fade into obscurity.”
From behind, Zhang Ziye's voice came.
Lin Ling turned back: “I have a few brothers, each of whom is no weaker than you. I really don't know why you are so blindly arrogant.”
“Impossible! I don't believe it.”
Zhang Ziye almost roared.
“If there's a chance, I'll let you all spar.”
Lin Ling turned his head and continued to walk towards the shore.
“You must be lying to me, trying to make me lose confidence. Let me tell you, I can't be bluffed by you. I'm a reserve member of the War God Squad in the War God Hall. What do you have to be so arrogant about?” Zhang Ziye shouted again.
Just then, Zhou Weiguo flew into the air from the shore.
“Attention everyone, the bounty mission has ended. Those whose names I call out should directly proceed to Kyoto Base City to participate in the Dragon Nest selection competition.
The top thirty ranked will join Dragon Nest and represent Dragon Kingdom in the Rookie Championship Dungeon at the end of the month.”
As soon as he said this, a sharp glint lit up in everyone's eyes.
“Zhou Mengyan, Ji Mo, Zhang Ziye, Qin Xuan, Wang Jiaqi, Chen Aotian, Wang Yilin, An Yuqi, An Yi, Feng Zhi, Shang Biao, Meng Huanhuan, Jini Taimei…”
Soon, a hundred names were called out by Zhou Weiguo one by one.
Zhang Ziye listened carefully to every name and then burst into laughter.
“Hahahaha… Lin Ling, you don't even have the chance to participate in the Dragon Nest selection. What do you have to compare with me?”
The flesh on Zhou Weiguo's face in the air twitched.
“This kid's temperament is too far off from Lin Ling's. When he finally manages to crawl into the War God Hall, he'll discover that Lin Ling is already an independent regiment commander. His expression at that time will surely be very interesting.”
PS: Ah, ah, ah, it's finally finished. Another day of explosive updates. Can I ask for some free small gifts, 5-star small reviews, and yellowish-brownRequest for Updates? I hope everyone doesn't save chapters. New plot starts tomorrow. I promise, the pace will quicken, no filler, and I definitely won't be a big water monster.
