113: Chapter 113 The Protection of the Heavenly Martial Alliance

Lin Xiao did not stay long in his parents' territory.

Mainly, Lin Zhenyue and Human Lord also knew of Lin Xiao's situation and did not want him to leave his territory for too long, so they quickly urged him to return.

"This trip wasn't in vain."

After returning to his territory, Lin Xiao opened his attribute panel and saw that his slaughter points had surprisingly increased by over ten million.

"As expected, the stronger the opponent, the more slaughter points you get."

Lin Xiao muttered to himself.

In the First Source Sea, killing a Third-Tier Lord would usually only net him tens of thousands of slaughter points. However, facing a Level 5 Lord, just wiping out a portion of the enemy territory's army had yielded him over ten million slaughter points.

It was easy to imagine that any major battle at a higher tier could net him an astronomical amount of slaughter points.

Of course, the slaughter points required to upgrade quality would also increase more and more.

"All of you, go back and Cultivate."

After dismissing his expeditionary army, Lin Xiao opened the regional channel and accepted Hu Wei's friend request.

"Lin Xiao, I've finally added you."

"Hurry back to the Main World, President Gu wants to see you."

Hu Wei seemed worried that Lin Xiao's territory would soon be invaded, causing space-time fluctuations that would prevent communication with the outside world, so she got straight to the point.

"Alright, I understand."

Lin Xiao closed the chat box.

President Gu Yizhou wanted to see him?

He was probably going to arrange protection for him.

Lin Xiao was not too surprised by this.

The Lord Association provided protection and preferential treatment to the families of Prodigies, let alone the Prodigies themselves.

He was, after all, a Super-spec Lord. No matter how foolish the upper echelons of the Human Race were, they knew how much of a help he would be to the entire Human Race once he grew up.

With a thought, Lin Xiao immediately left his territory and returned to the Main World.

...

Lord Association Headquarters.

After walking into President Gu Yizhou's office, Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He saw that besides President Gu Yizhou, the vice president, there was also a man and a woman inside.

The woman was an alluring lady who looked to be in her thirties, exuding endless charm with every movement. The man was a square-faced man in military uniform, giving off a cold and stern impression.

As soon as Lin Xiao entered, the scrutinizing gazes of the man and woman fell upon him.

"Little brother, you must be the Super-spec Lord who has become famous recently, Lin Xiao, right?" The alluring woman let out a soft chuckle.

"President Gu."

Lin Xiao greeted President Gu and looked at the two with some curiosity.

"Come, let me introduce you. This is Lin Xiao."

"Lin Xiao, these two are Sixth-order Lords from the Tianwu Alliance, Yao Fengjiao and Xu Jun. You should get to know each other."

President Gu smiled and introduced the two to Lin Xiao.

Sixth-order Lords.

Lin Xiao's heart stirred. It seemed these were the dao protectors the Lord Association had arranged for him.

"Greetings, Lord Yao, Lord Xu," Lin Xiao said politely, looking at the two Sixth-order Lords.

"Why call me Lord Yao? That's too formal. Call me Sister Yao."

Yao Fengjiao remained enthusiastic.

Xu Jun simply nodded, acknowledging Lin Xiao.

"Lin Xiao, now that you have entered the Second Source Sea, given the Four Great Races' hatred of you, they definitely won't let you off. They won't give you the chance to grow up either."

"And in the Second Source Sea, it is much easier for them to obtain your territory coordinates than in the First Source Sea."

President Gu said in a deep voice.

He knew very well how dangerous Lin Xiao's situation was. Once his territory coordinates were obtained by the Four Great Races, they would inevitably launch an incredibly fierce attack, especially invasions by Level 5 Lords.

After all, there was a difference of a whole tier. Even if Lin Xiao was a Super-spec Lord, it would be difficult to resist.

Even if he blocked one, there would be a second, a third...

President Gu naturally did not want Lin Xiao to fall, so he directly applied the maximum level of protection for him.

Having Yao Fengjiao and Xu Jun, these two Sixth-order Lords, act as his dao protectors.

According to the rules of the Chaos Source Sea, Sixth-order Lords could not invade Fourth-order Lords and could only participate in territory defense at most. They were also the highest-tier reinforcements Lin Xiao could get.

"Lin Xiao, although you have the protection of Yao Fengjiao and Xu Jun, don't think you can just sit back and relax."

"If the Four Great Races want to kill you, they will definitely find a way."

"The key is that you must be strong enough yourself."

Finally, President Gu warned solemnly.

Throughout his long life, he had seen too many Prodigies fall halfway—from the Human Race, the Four Great Races, and other races that had descended upon the Chaos Source Sea.

No matter how well protected, there was always a way to break it.

It all depended on how high a price the opponent was willing to pay, and how much determination they had.

After saying this, President Gu stopped speaking and left the room to the three of them.

At this moment,

"Little brother Lin Xiao, big sister is on call anytime, guaranteed to keep you safe." Yao Fengjiao winked at Lin Xiao.

"If you encounter any crisis, feel free to ask me for help," Xu Jun also spoke calmly.

The two Sixth-order Lords expressed their stances one after another.

Lin Xiao, however, remained silent.

It was not that he was cold, but rather that after seeing the two Sixth-order Lords, countless thoughts had suddenly flooded his mind.

After a moment, just as the two Sixth-order Lords were starting to grow slightly impatient, Lin Xiao suddenly raised his head and looked at President Gu, who had stepped aside: "President Gu, I wonder if the Lord Association can arrange a Seventh-order Lord to be my dao protector?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the smile on Yao Fengjiao's face could no longer be maintained, and even Xu Jun's expression stiffened.

Were they... being looked down upon?

A Fourth-order Lord, looking down on two Sixth-order Lords?

Both Sixth-order Lords felt an utterly absurd sensation rising in their hearts.

Although Lin Xiao was a Super-spec Lord and his strength would definitely be far superior to theirs once he grew up, that was for the future. Right now, he was still just a weak Fourth-order Lord.

Whether he could grow up smoothly in the future was still an unknown.

"Lin Xiao, you might not know, but there is a difference of three tiers between a Fourth-order Lord and a Seventh-order Lord. Whether it's an invasion or..."

Yao Fengjiao twitched her lips, forcing a smile as she tried to explain the common knowledge to Lin Xiao...

However, her voice grew quieter and quieter.

Yao Fengjiao suddenly realized something. A Seventh-order Lord could not reinforce a Fourth-order Lord. This was not some top-secret information; it was impossible for Lin Xiao not to know. Knowing this, he had still said so.

Could it be...

On the other side, Xu Jun also thought of this possibility.

The two looked at each other, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Lin Xiao."

President Gu walked up and looked deeply at Lin Xiao: "Are you preparing to upgrade to a Level 5 territory?"

This sentence seemed like a question, but his tone was certain.

Based on President Gu's understanding of Lin Xiao, he was sure that this was indeed Lin Xiao's true intention.

That's right, that was it.

Stormy waves surged in the hearts of Yao Fengjiao and Xu Jun.

A Seventh-order Lord indeed could not reinforce a Fourth-order Lord, but if he became a Level 5 Lord, there would be no problem.

Understanding this, the two felt even more absurd.

Lin Xiao had just entered the Second Source Sea and hadn't even passed his weakening period, yet he already wanted to upgrade to a Level 5 territory?

How crazy was this.

Unconsciously, the gazes of the two Sixth-order Lords looking at Lin Xiao could not help but carry a hint of awe.
