44: Chapter 44 I am invincible, you can do whatever you want.

"What?"

"Who upgraded to a Level 3 Territory?"

"Lin Xiao? Which Lin Xiao?"

It was as if a giant boulder had smashed into a pond, instantly stirring up turbulent waves in the Prodigy Group.

The group exploded.

Everyone, including Wei Xuanqi and Yun Zhiyue, opened the prodigy ranking immediately.

Sure enough, the prodigy ranking had changed drastically.

"Has this Lin Xiao lost his mind? Upgrading to a Level 3 Territory so quickly???"

First Place: Lin Xiao, Level 3 Territory

Second Place: Wei Xuanqi, Level 2 Territory

Third Place: Yun Zhiyue, Level 2 Territory

...

Lin Xiao, who was originally ranked seventh, had moved to first place, and the top six people had all dropped one rank.

"Is he crazy?"

Inside a territory built like a steel fortress, Wei Xuanqi's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.

He didn't feel much embarrassment from being slapped in the face on the spot, but he felt somewhat at a loss.

Just then, his private message notification rang.

Wei Xuanqi opened it in a hurry; the message was from Yun Zhiyue.

The content was very simple, just four words.

"Are you following suit or not?"

"Damn it, this crazy woman." Wei Xuanqi felt his scalp tingle; he was a cautious person.

The appearance of Lin Xiao, who completely ignored conventional rules, had already given him a headache, and now Yun Zhiyue, that radical, actually wanted to follow suit.

As expected of a war maniac.

"Don't be impulsive, let's figure out the situation first."

"What if he clicked it by mistake?"

Wei Xuanqi had a massive headache. After managing to calm down the restless Yun Zhiyue, he wanted to contact Lin Xiao, only to find he didn't have the other party as a friend, so he turned to Jin Ruxuan, who had the best relationship with Lin Xiao.

The news spread back to the Main World.

The Lord Association was in an uproar as well. President Gu Yizhou immediately issued an order for Qin Yiyi to contact Lin Xiao as quickly as possible and get to the bottom of the situation.

The world behind the Sin Race.

The person in charge of the Heretic Hunting Bureau immediately issued an order for the Sin Race's Third-Tier Lords in the First Source Sea to mobilize, find Lin Xiao's territory as quickly as possible, and kill him.

They didn't care about Lin Xiao's purpose for upgrading to a Level 3 Territory so quickly.

The reason wasn't important.

If he dared to show his head, he would be killed.

By the time Lin Xiao finished dealing with the various matters of his territory and opened the regional channel, he immediately discovered that his private messages had exploded, filled with countless messages from people he knew and didn't know.

With one click, he cleared them all, and nothing happened.

Subsequently, Lin Xiao opened his friend list. Although his friends had also sent quite a few messages, he didn't have many friends, so it wasn't difficult to deal with them.

Lin Xiao wasn't too surprised by this "spectacle."

Upgrading to a Level 3 Territory so quickly was extremely rare, not just in the current situation, but even in the past.

It was normal for it to cause such an uproar.

Lin Xiao first opened his conversation with Qin Yiyi; after all, the Lord Association was his biggest "patron" right now.

"Lin Xiao, you're finally online?"

"President Gu Yizhou asked me to ask you why you upgraded to a Level 3 Territory so quickly. Is there some hidden reason?"

"He also said he would support you with a batch of resources immediately, hoping it can help you."

Qin Yiyi sent a string of messages.

Lin Xiao felt a warmth in his heart as he read them. He hadn't expected that in the face of his seemingly suicidal unauthorized action, President Gu Yizhou's reaction wouldn't be a reprimand, but rather continued support.

"There is no hidden reason. Upgrading to a Level 3 Territory now was already in my plan."

"As for the support, many thanks to President Gu Yizhou for his kindness. I will not stand on ceremony."

Lin Xiao did not refuse President Gu Yizhou's kindness.

What was a few resources? Soon he would prove that investing in him was the most correct decision President Gu Yizhou had ever made.

Lin Xiao didn't ask for too much; he only requested a batch of Cultivate resources.

What was most important for him right now was to improve the strength of his heroes and troops as quickly as possible.

"By the way, what does 'Sever Karma, Shield Heavenly Secrets' mean?" Lin Xiao sent the attributes of the tianji pavilion to Qin Yiyi.

"This..."

Qin Yiyi was clearly seeing such a special building for the first time and was a bit confused.

"Hold on, I'll go ask right now."

After saying that, she went offline and returned to the Main World.

Lin Xiao then opened his conversation with Jin Ruxuan; this was his second "patron."

"I knew you would upgrade your territory quickly, but I didn't expect it to be this fast..."

Jin Ruxuan's mood was very complicated.

Compared to others, he was relatively calmer.

After all, Lin Xiao had told him that he wouldn't stay in the First Source Sea for long.

But Jin Ruxuan never would have imagined that the "fast" Lin Xiao mentioned would be this fast...

Even when the Tianwu Alliance was still around, not many Prodigies dared to upgrade to a Level 3 Territory this quickly.

When at Level 2, even with bad luck, if invaded by a Level 3 Territory, one could quickly ask other Lords for help. As long as the backer was capable, one could still protect oneself. But once it became a Level 3 Territory, there was no such luck.

To ask for help from others, one had to wait until the spatial-temporal oscillation ended; during that time, one had to bear the pressure alone.

Unless Lin Xiao was willing to voluntarily reveal his territory coordinates.

Everyone's territory existed independently in the Chaos Source Sea, surrounded by the Void Land, and they did not border each other.

In the First Source Sea, to enter someone else's territory, one could only use the methods of rescue and invasion.

"Don't worry, I'm confident."

"Next, just watch my performance."

Lin Xiao said indifferently.

"I hope so."

"Heh, your sudden territory upgrade really shocked those arrogant guys in the group. They didn't have you as a friend, so they all ran over to ask me."

Jin Ruxuan didn't say anything more; the die was cast, and saying more was useless.

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Lin Xiao became interested.

He opened the Prodigy Group, wanting to see what those Prodigies, who were previously unconvinced about his seventh-place ranking and had acted coldly, were saying about him.

At this moment, the Prodigy Group was very lively, with countless messages scrolling by rapidly.

After some intense debate, it had vaguely split into several factions.

A portion of the Prodigies didn't think well of Lin Xiao's fate at all and were pessimistic about his outcome.

A portion of the Prodigies cautiously believed that anyone who could become seventh on the prodigy ranking couldn't be a fool. Since Lin Xiao dared to upgrade to a Level 3 Territory, it meant he definitely had unknown trump cards.

They didn't necessarily think Lin Xiao could massacre Third-Tier Lords, just that he should have a certain ability to protect himself and wouldn't be wiped out so easily.

There were also some Prodigies who were howling as they issued war declarations, wanting to upgrade to Level 3 Territories together, desperately inciting other Prodigies to follow suit...

"Hmm?"

"Why isn't anyone jumping out to crazily mock me, this country bumpkin who doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth?"

After watching for a while, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

The fun of slapping faces was gone.

In reality, this situation was very normal.

The Prodigies weren't stupid either.

Lin Xiao upgrading to a Level 3 Territory had only two outcomes: either self-destruction or establishing a firm foothold.

The former wasn't worth their mockery.

The latter, no matter how unbelievable or how low the probability was, if he actually succeeded, then Lin Xiao would be a backer they could rely on. When they upgraded to Level 3 Territories, they might even have to count on him.

No one would jump out to mock Lin Xiao at this time and create an enemy for themselves. Even if they really wanted to mock him, they would have to wait until the dust settled.

"Everyone."

Just then, Lin Xiao spoke in the Prodigy Group.

As soon as the person himself appeared, the Prodigy Group immediately quieted down. The others were a bit curious about what he wanted to say.

"I am already a Third-Tier Lord. As for when you upgrade, that's none of my business. Given the fate that we are all in the same group, you can ask me for help when the time comes. Of course, you will need to pay the corresponding price."

"I won't say any more nonsense. Anyway, I am invincible, do as you please."
