199: The obedient pride of all races
Two hours later,
The index was announced.
Han Lie's data was 8125.
Due to the rules' punishment, his strength increase index was only 1%, a significant reduction from before, but still far ahead.
In response,
Many other Jile Pavilion prodigies, who had been continuously monitoring Han Lie's index, were quite surprised by today's results.
“Why did Han Lie’s index drop?”
“Didn’t you hear?”
There were about ten minutes after the data was announced, enough time to smoke two cigarettes and relax, and many Jile Pavilion prodigies whose positions were adjacent.
They took this time to chat.
The speaker was very surprised, “You didn’t hear the loud rule reminder an hour ago?!”
“.........” The previous speaker scratched his head in embarrassment, “I was too focused, and our clan’s innate five senses aren’t sharp.”
“Hiss!”
Another person wondered if he should envy the other for being deaf, then said:
“About an hour ago, there might have been a conflict over there.
The rule reminder from above states that if one party rashly attacks another, as a punishment, their cultivation growth index will be reduced by 99%!”
“99%, isn’t that certain death?!”
He subconsciously thought so, because if 99% of his index was stripped, he would only have single digits left.
After speaking,
Seeing that the other person didn't reply.
He immediately realized, belatedly,
“Ah... you mean Han Lie!!”
“Right!”
This person looked into the distance, towards where Han Lie’s Jile Pavilion was located, with deep apprehension in his eyes.
“That Human Race named Han Lie is truly not to be trifled with. I thought that with such a terrifying strength increase indicator, he only seemed exceptionally powerful and wouldn't affect us at all!!”
“Unexpectedly, the rules actually have such a huge loophole. Stripping 99% is irrelevant to his massive base number!!”
“Oh no......!”
“What’s wrong?”
Perhaps the topic of conversation was interesting, a person from the Mechanical Race walked over from not far away. He had previously disdained joining their small group.
“Heh....”
The Spirit Race, who had spoken first, sneered inwardly, but honestly said aloud:
“Han Lie has such a terrifying strength increase index. Let’s not talk about how terrifying his strength is, or whether he can crush us!”
Regarding whether Han Lie was powerful,
The Universe of Myriad Races prodigies had not yet reached a unified conclusion. Some had faced Han Lie before and felt there was no way to resist.
Others, however, whether on the first or second floor, had never met Han Lie. Coupled with their disdain for the Human Race and their own arrogance, they believed this person was just hyped up.
He was a fake.
Some people,
Even if they had lost, they blindly believed that they would definitely win the next time they met, including the avatars of Mang Huang and Zhou Li, who shared this thought.
Therefore, their attitude towards Han Lie was quite ambiguous.
The Universe of Myriad Races prodigies had all sorts of psychological states.
Speaking of this,
The Spirit Race sized up the Mechanical Race in front of him. The latter's eyes showed a hint of disdain, and he knew that the other party looked down on Han Lie.
Just as they looked down on them.
Too lazy to argue, he continued:
“Now with the help of the rules, if Han Lie actively attacks us, he will be stripped of 99% of his index, but this punishment is irrelevant to him!”
“But if we retaliate, according to my understanding of this rule, there will likely be similar punishments. Let alone 99%, even 10% is something neither you nor I can bear!!”
This was indeed the truth.
The data was written in black and white; their index today was only around 130-140, just slightly stronger than the Nu Clan they were compared to.
If 10% was deducted, they would all lose.
“So......”
The Spirit Race didn't need to say more; the others frowned, apparently understanding.
“So Han Lie is invincible now. If he hits you, you can only endure it. You can’t fight back; if you fight back, you will only die!!”
“And if he hits you, you still have to put on a smiling face, because if he keeps hitting you and affecting your cultivation, the final result is still only death!!”
“And...”
“To say something unpleasant, if Han Lie wants to hit you, let’s not say hit you, but hit me... if he hits me once, I estimate my spiritual body will shatter...”
“I’ve seen his strength with my own eyes!”
“I think he’s the strongest in the universe...”
“............”
Even the Spirit Race felt helpless at this point.
“He’s invincible......!”
“!!!”
Upon hearing this,
Everyone looked as if their mothers had died.
This was simply unsolvable.
In other words, if Han Lie wanted them to die, they would die no matter what!!
“Then what do we do....”
“Fight him to the death?!”
“Fight him for what?!”
The Spirit Race was extremely annoyed, “As long as you make a move, you’re on a dead end. Unless you can defy the rules of this floor, let alone the rules, if the restrictions were lifted, that maid who washed your feet yesterday could punch you to pieces!!”
“...........Then what do we do?”
“What to do!”
Someone nearby, however, thought very clearly, “Just live with your tail between your legs. I don’t think that Han Lie would be crazy enough to want everyone to die, would he?”
“Hmm...... I don’t know!”
Several people brainstormed, but they didn't understand Han Lie at all. However, one person said something that comforted everyone.
“Impossible!”
“Even if Han Lie wanted all of us to die, first, let’s not talk about whether he could bear everyone’s wrath, just consider the current rules!”
“He doesn’t even allow large-scale deaths of Nu Clan!”
“Could he let all of us die?”
“That’s true....!”
Everyone thought about it and indeed, it made sense.
However, they also realized.
Han Lie couldn't let everyone die, but if he truly found someone displeasing, that person would be in big trouble.
“Let’s live with our tails between our legs......”
“I don’t know what Han Lie needs, but if it comes to us, let’s try our best to satisfy him!”
“Exactly!”
“It seems this is the only way!”
“Damn, why do I feel like I’m his Nu Clan... huh?!”
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this.
Indeed,
They had to find ways to satisfy all of Han Lie's conditions as much as possible, wanting to minimize their presence so as not to be discovered by him.
This was exactly like the most lowly Nu Clan in Jile Pavilion, as if carved from the same mold.
But there was nothing they could do.
If there was even a slight way, they wouldn't be so helpless.
And at this moment,
Zhang Yong ran over, panting. This world did not restrict martial arts strength, so his exhaustion indicated he had used his full power.
His speed was also extremely fast.
He didn't exchange many words with the people in front of him, simply dropping a statement.
“Tomorrow, write down and hand in all the secret methods you know about your own race or other races breaking through from the sixth to the seventh stage!!”
“This is what Han Lie wants!!”
“If anyone doesn’t comply, one person from the Demon Beast Race died yesterday, you know that, right? Tomorrow, that will be your fate!!”
He finished speaking and left, rushing to the next place.
“This lackey....!!”
After everyone processed the information,
They didn't dare to curse Han Lie, so they could only curse Zhang Yong.
“Is he doing his father’s bidding?”
“He’s so damn active, I wonder how many benefits Han Lie gave him?”
“Benefits, my ass. You feed a dog like him a bone, and he’ll happily help you out!”
“Damn it......”
Everyone cursed,
But in their hearts, they were compiling the information.
They understood,
If they couldn't produce something that satisfied Han Lie, that dog would turn into a soul-reaping evil wolf.
Coincidentally,
Word spread quickly,
And Ji Nu was also exerting effort, relaying information to the various Jile Pavilion Nu Clan, who in turn passed it on to their respective masters.
Thus, in just one day, all the prodigies knew the news.
Dare to disobey?
Anyone with a brain,
Not a single person dared to utter half a word of dissent.
Even the proud Demon War, the violent Mang Huang, and the dark Zhou Li, all obediently wrote down their breakthrough methods!!
They called it:
Taking a step back opens up a vast sky.
What they wanted was a fair fight with Han Lie, and to live to enjoy the joy of victory.
In reality,
Everyone knew.
They were scared.
Han Lie was simply an invincible existence on this floor, doing whatever the hell he wanted.
