167: The opportunity to become a battlefield enforcer

"Seventh Master, you..."

"Don't be in such a hurry." Seventh Master raised his hand to interrupt him, his gaze falling on Lin Fan as if he could see through everything. "The Law conflict within your body is severe. Forcing the Fusion of five Laws to trigger Chaos... you certainly have some nerve."

Lin Fan grinned. "If I weren't bold, how could I kill monsters?"

Seventh Master gave him a deep look and suddenly tossed over a jade bottle.

Lin Fan caught it and opened it—inside were three crystalline Medicinal Pills the size of longans, emitting a faint aura of Chaos.

"Chaos Spirit-Nurturing Pill, Heaven Rank Medium Grade," Seventh Master said calmly. "After taking it, you can completely heal your Law Backlash and stabilize your Chaos Prototype."

Lin Fan raised an eyebrow. "The conditions?"

"Smart." Seventh Master laughed. "I like talking to smart people."

He paused for a moment and said slowly:

"In the Main Competition three days from now, I want you to... reach the Finals."

"And, using the Chaos Law Prototype, defeat all your opponents."

Lin Fan narrowed his eyes. "That's it?"

"That's it." Seventh Master nodded. "As long as you do that, I will give you an opportunity."

"What opportunity?"

"An opportunity to become a Battlefield Enforcer."

Lin Fan's heart jolted.

Battlefield Enforcer!

That mysterious and powerful group!

"Enforcer... what exactly are they?" Lin Fan asked in a heavy voice.

Seventh Master didn't answer directly. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed toward the starry sky.

"Look at these stars filling the sky. Each one represents a plane, a world."

"The Myriad Races Battlefield is the hub connecting these worlds. And Enforcers... are the ones who maintain the order of this hub."

"Our numbers are few, but every one of us has the right to travel freely between planes and controls a portion of the resources for the Plane Passages."

"The weakest Enforcer has a Late Stage Martial Emperor cultivation. The strongest few... might even have touched the Realm beyond Martial Venerable."

Lin Fan's breathing quickened slightly.

Traveling freely between planes!

Controlling Plane Passage resources!

"Then, if I want to return to my original world..." Lin Fan tested.

Seventh Master shook his head. "The Plane Coordinates we possess are limited. I don't know the coordinates of your home plane. The myriad worlds are too vast. Unless you have precise coordinates, traveling blindly will only lead to getting lost in the endless Void Realm."

"However..." He changed the subject. "After becoming an Enforcer, you can apply to use plane-traveling resources—as long as you have the coordinates, we can provide enough energy to open a passage for you once."

"The further the distance, the more resources are required. Unless you can find a natural wormhole between two planes, a single cross-plane journey consumes an astronomical amount of resources."

Lin Fan understood.

The System had the coordinates, but they cost 500,000 prestige value to purchase.

And Seventh Master's side could provide the travel resources.

Only by combining both could he return!

"Why choose me?" Lin Fan calmed down. "I'm only a Martial King. Even if I have some talent, I'm not worth this kind of recruitment, am I?"

A hint of appreciation flashed in Seventh Master's eyes. "You underestimate yourself too much."

"At the Martial King Realm, forcing the Fusion of five Laws to trigger Chaos—in the entire history of the Myriad Races Battlefield, such people are few and far between."

"Every one who can achieve this, as long as they don't fall prematurely, will at least reach the level of Martial Venerable in the future."

"More importantly..."

Seventh Master paused, his tone becoming profound:

"Within the Enforcers, we also need fresh blood."

"And we also need... a variable that can break the current status quo."

Lin Fan understood.

The Enforcers probably weren't a monolithic entity either.

And he, this "variable," was a chess piece certain people wanted to recruit.

"What if I refuse?" Lin Fan asked.

Seventh Master laughed. "You won't refuse."

"Because becoming an Enforcer is the most feasible way for you to return home—once you've saved enough prestige value to buy the coordinates, we can provide the resources to send you back."

Lin Fan was silent for three seconds.

Then, he looked up.

"Fine."

"In the Main Competition, I'll fight my way to the Finals."

"I will demonstrate the Chaos Law Prototype."

"The position of Enforcer..."

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Fan's eyes:

"I'll take it."

Seventh Master nodded with satisfaction. "A wise choice."

He turned to leave, but remembered something and looked back:

"By the way, among the Seeded Contestants in the Main Competition, there are a few people you should pay special attention to."

"They are true Prodigies who have been hidden away by major powers for years. Their cultivations are all at the Late Stage Martial Emperor level, and each possesses Peak Martial Emperor combat strength."

"One is Ao Jin of the Dragon Clan. With a True Dragon Bloodline, he once tore apart three Late Stage Martial Emperors with his bare hands."

"Another is Mo Wentian of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion. He's skilled in divining heavenly secrets and has extremely high attainment in Formations. He once trapped and killed five Late Stage Martial Emperors with a single Formation."

"Then there's Shadowless of the Shadow Temple, whose Shadow Law has reached Minor Achievement. He once assassinated a Peak Martial Emperor."

"There are no more than ten of them in total, but every single one is a true monster."

Lin Fan's pupils constricted slightly.

Late Stage Martial Emperor!

Peak Martial Emperor combat strength!

This was the real challenge!

"Why are you telling me this?" Lin Fan asked.

"Because if you can't even beat them..." Seventh Master said indifferently, "you aren't qualified to become an Enforcer."

As he finished speaking, his figure slowly dissipated as if he had never appeared.

On the platform, only Lin Fan and Jingang remained.

The night wind blew past, carrying a chill.

Lin Fan gripped the jade bottle in his hand, Battle Intent burning fiercely in his eyes.

"Late Stage Martial Emperor... Peak Martial Emperor combat strength..."

He grinned:

"Now this is interesting."

[Ding! Accepted Enforcer Assessment Quest: Domineering as Ever. prestige value +10,000!]

[Current prestige value: 62,000 points!]

Lin Fan opened the jade bottle, took out a Chaos Spirit-Nurturing Pill, and swallowed it.

The Medicinal Pill melted the moment it entered his mouth, turning into a warm and majestic current of Chaos Qi that surged into every part of his body!

Under the mediation of this pure Chaos aura, the five originally conflicting Laws quickly calmed, fused, and stabilized!

Three hours later.

Lin Fan opened his eyes, a hazy gray color like the beginning of Chaos flashing through them.

The Law Backlash in his body was completely healed.

The Chaos Prototype had stabilized by thirty percent!

His cultivation was faintly touching the limit of the Peak Martial King level!

"Just a little bit more..." Lin Fan felt the surging power within him. "With just one more opportunity, I can truly fuse the five Laws and step onto the threshold of the Chaos Law."

"At that time..."

He looked at the starry sky, as if seeing that blue planet through the endless Void Realm.

"Wait for me to return."

"Those old geezers..."

"Not a single one of them will escape."

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

The central square of the Ten Thousand Races Holy City was now a sea of people.

After a brutal screening of the over ten thousand Prodigies from the Qualifying Rounds, only three hundred remained to advance to the Main Competition.

Aside from them, there were seven figures with exceptionally terrifying auras standing quietly on the high platform at the very front of the square, clearly separated from the others.

Seeded Contestants!
