186: If they don’t accept it, beat them until they accept it!
“How is this possible?”
Zhang Ziye’s eyes were bloodshot and filled with rage.
At this moment, he even forgot the pain on his face.
It was as if what was pressing on the back of his head was not a human hand, but the paw of a ferocious beast.
That sense of power far exceeded his comprehension.
Hiss…
At this moment, everyone gasped.
Zhang Ziye’s strength was beyond doubt; both his personal power and equipment were among the best in the entire recruit camp.
But at this moment, he was like a straw dog, pinned to the ground by Lin Ling, utterly unable to resist.
“Is Lin Ling still that strong?”
“Boss, it really has to be my boss.”
“This kid is incredible.”
“Is he wearing Silver Grade equipment?”
“This is too fierce.”
Exclamations rang out from all directions; both the new recruits and the veteran Dragon Nest Warriors looked at Lin Ling with awe.
“I’m giving you one last chance. Don’t provoke me! We are not on the same dimension,” Lin Ling’s cold voice came.
Everyone present couldn’t help but shiver.
There was a hint of killing intent in that voice, sending chills down their spines.
Especially the Dragon Nest Warriors, they were certain that Lin Ling had just killed someone, and more than one.
In the crowd, Zhou Mengyan looked at Lin Ling, her beautiful eyes gradually becoming hazy.
A small heart pounded incessantly in her chest.
Too handsome.
Every movement of Lin Ling’s was filled with endless charm in her eyes.
Looking at the man who had captivated her heart, her blood gradually began to boil.
She walked step by step towards Lin Ling, embracing him tightly from behind.
It was as if she was afraid that if she let go, this man would fly away again.
A fragrant breeze swept over, and Lin Ling raised his hand, turning to look at Zhou Mengyan.
Their eyes met, and a layer of mist had already appeared in Zhou Mengyan’s large eyes.
“You’re back.”
“Yes, I’m back.”
Zhou Mengyan threw herself into Lin Ling’s arms, deeply inhaling his familiar scent.
Lin Ling’s hands didn’t know where to rest for a moment.
Feeling the soft body in his arms, his breathing also became rapid.
When his hands landed on Zhou Mengyan’s smooth back, both of them trembled simultaneously.
Zhou Mengyan gently tilted her head back and directly kissed the foolish man’s lips.
At the same time, a pair of huge light wings suddenly grew from Lin Ling’s back.
The light wings glowed with dazzling white light, yet gently curved to conceal their bodies.
At this moment, countless people cast envious glances.
A moment later, they reluctantly separated their lips, and Lin Ling then noticed that Zhou Mengyan’s cheeks were already wet with tears.
No wonder Lin Ling felt a slightly salty taste in his mouth.
He raised his hand, cupped her small face, and gently wiped away her tear stains.
“Let’s be together,” Zhou Mengyan said, looking up.
“Mm,” Lin Ling softly responded.
Zhou Mengyan smiled, but tears couldn’t stop flowing out again.
“Why are you crying?” Lin Ling asked.
A hint of sadness flashed in Zhou Mengyan’s eyes, “If Ji Mo were still here, he would definitely be shouting non-stop right now.”
“Look who’s coming?”
Lin Ling suddenly smiled, turning his head to look into the distance.
Everyone’s gaze followed his line of sight.
A scarlet fighter jet descended from the sky.
Immediately, a strange look flashed in many people’s eyes.
Many recognized this as Lin Ling’s ace fighter jet.
But Lin Ling was already here, so who would be returning in the ace fighter jet?
Just as everyone was wondering, the fighter jet slowly landed.
As the hatch opened, a slender figure slowly walked out from inside.
When everyone saw this figure, their pupils suddenly contracted.
“Ji Mo?”
“How could it be Ji Mo? Isn’t he…”
“My heavens, Second Brother, you’re alive?”
Just as everyone was in shock, a soft cough suddenly sounded.
“Cough cough…”
Lin Ling’s light wings vanished instantly, and he and Zhou Mengyan both took a half-step back, subconsciously looking in the direction of the sound.
Indeed, Zhou Weiyun was looking at the two of them with a resentful expression.
It was as if her little cabbage, which she had cultivated for eighteen years, was being rooted up by a pig.
Seeing this scene, several new recruits immediately showed expressions of schadenfreude.
Unfortunately, the scene they expected, where Lin Ling would be reprimanded, did not occur.
Instead, Zhou Weiyun’s expression changed, and she immediately began to arrange the finals.
“Alright, the finals begin now. I will announce the comprehensive ranking of the preliminaries. You may challenge those above you.
If no one challenges within ten minutes, the top five ranked individuals will join the War God Hall, and the rest will become Dragon Nest Warriors.”
Zhou Weiyun said, raising her hand and tapping her wristband, and a translucent screen immediately appeared before everyone’s eyes.
This screen displayed the preliminary rankings.
“First Place: Ling Qiye”
“Second Place: Zhang Ziye”
“Third Place: Zhong Miaomiao”
“Fourth Place: Wu Xi”
“Fifth Place…”
At this moment, Zhang Ziye had already gotten up from the ground. When he saw his name ranked second, the frustration he had felt from being suppressed by Lin Ling immediately vanished.
“Hmph, what’s the use of being strong if you can’t even make it into the top five… Hmm?”
But soon, the smile on his face gradually stiffened.
There were only ten people in this ranking, but none of the ten people who were with Lin Ling were among them.
“Hall Master Zhou, is there a mistake?”
Ling Qiye also noticed something was wrong and couldn’t help but ask.
“Yes, why aren’t Lin Ling and Qin Xuan in the rankings?” Zhang Ziye also couldn’t help but ask.
Zhou Weiyun smiled faintly, “Because they were already members of the War God Hall’s Ling Tian Independent Regiment before the preliminaries.”
“Ling Tian Independent Regiment?”
“What’s going on? I’ve never heard of it.”
“Hall Master, isn’t this unfair?”
Someone whispered, clearly the Ling Tian Independent Regiment was beyond their comprehension.
Zhou Weiyun was not angry. She slowly walked to Lin Ling’s side and said with a smile, “Lin Ling, congratulations. From today onwards, the establishment of the Ling Tian Independent Regiment officially takes effect. On behalf of the Dragon Nest War God Hall, I confer upon you the rank of General.”
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone gasped.
What was the concept of a General rank?
It was said that even the Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall was only a General.
However, before everyone could recover, Zhou Weiyun dropped another bombshell.
“Lin Ling, on behalf of the War God Hall, I invite you to concurrently serve as the Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall. Are you willing?” Zhou Weiyun said.
“Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall?”
“An 18-year-old Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall?”
“And it’s not an appointment, but an invitation?”
“I’ve been trying to get into the War God Hall as a warrior for three years and haven’t squeezed in, yet he’s becoming a Vice Hall Master?”
“What virtue and ability does this Lin Ling possess to make Hall Master Zhou treat him with such respect?”
The Dragon Nest Warriors responsible for guarding nearby also began to whisper.
Especially Left Rush, ever since the incident in the Mental Tempering Room, he no longer had the courage or opportunity to trouble Lin Ling.
But at this moment, hearing Zhou Weiyun’s words, the unwillingness hidden in his heart once again became active.
“Hall Master, so many of us Dragon Nest Warriors are desperate to join the War God Hall. Even if Lin Ling has potential, he is still just a new recruit after all,” Left Rush said, unconvinced.
These words immediately resonated with many Dragon Nest Warriors.
For a moment, various voices continuously sounded all around.
Zhou Weiyun smiled faintly, “You’re unconvinced, are you?”
“Unconvinced! Unconvinced!”
A group of Dragon Nest Warriors said indignantly.
“Alright, I’ll give you all a chance. All Dragon Nest Warriors, regardless of which batch you are from, now attack Lin Ling together.
And you ten new recruits, you can attack with these Dragon Nest Warriors. As long as you can last 10 seconds under Lin Ling’s hands, I will cancel his invitation to be the Vice Hall Master of the War God Hall, and I will invite all of you to join the War God Hall,” Zhou Weiyun said with a smile.
As soon as these words were spoken, all the Dragon Nest Warriors present turned red-eyed.
“Does the Hall Master’s word count?” someone shouted.
“Of course,” Zhou Weiyun said with a smile, “Lin Ling, they are unconvinced by you. I don’t need to teach you what to do, do I?”
Lin Ling’s lips curled slightly, “If they’re unconvinced, I’ll beat them until they are.”
