131: Chapter 131 In three months, I reached the King level!
Ning Yuan looked at Jiang Mingyue's determined eyes beside him. His heart warmed, yet his expression remained as cynical and nonchalant as ever.
He reached out and hooked his arm around Jiang Mingyue's shoulder with a grin.
"Yo, not bad, Second Brother! You're loyal enough!"
"It seems Big Brother's usual doting on you wasn't in vain!"
"Don't worry, once we're on the battlefield, Big Brother will cover you! I guarantee you'll be living the high life!"
"I'm going too!"
Before Jiang Mingyue could speak, another cold and pleasant voice rang out.
Ling Wanhe had walked over at some point, her beautiful, star-like eyes also filled with determination.
"An extra person means an extra bit of strength, after all."
"Although my strength isn't equal to yours, at the very least... I can provide some help at a critical moment."
Though she spoke tactfully, her resolve to stay by his side through thick and thin was self-evident.
"Big Brother! Us too!"
"We want to go with you as well!"
Zhou Qi and Lu Sheng squeezed through from behind, their faces full of excitement and resolve!
Though they knew the dangers of the Myriad Races Battlefield, the thought of fighting side-by-side with their Big Brother instantly replaced their fear with boiling blood!
"Isn't it just the Myriad Races Battlefield? What's the big deal!"
"Wherever Big Brother goes, we go!"
"Through thick and thin, we won't hesitate!"
The two of them patted their chests, making solemn promises.
Looking at these four companions who were ready to face life and death together, Ning Yuan's heart was filled with emotion.
However, he still shook his head and pushed them away one by one.
"Alright, alright, stop being so sentimental here."
"I appreciate the sentiment, but none of you are getting involved in this."
"I'll go by myself."
"Why?!"
Everyone became anxious.
"Big Brother, do you look down on us?"
"Exactly! We might not be as monstrous as you, but we're no pushovers either!"
"An extra person means an extra pair of eyes; surely that's better than fighting all alone?"
Jiang Mingyue's brow furrowed deeply, her tone carrying a hint of displeasure.
"Ning Yuan, now is not the time to play the hero!"
"Do you have any idea how dangerous your current situation is?!"
"Those old Prodigys of the alien races may have agreed not to act, but experts below the Saint level aren't included in the agreement! When the time comes, what awaits you will be an endless pursuit!"
"How can you handle that alone?!"
The smile on Ning Yuan's face slowly faded, replaced by an unprecedented level of determination and confidence.
He looked at everyone and said word by word:
"It is precisely because of that that I cannot let you go!"
"This trip is a narrow escape from death to begin with!"
"By myself, I still have the confidence to escape."
"But if I take you along... I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you all while being spread too thin."
"I don't want... to see any of you get hurt because of me."
"So, this matter is non-negotiable!"
His tone was calm, but the unquestionable will contained within it made everyone fall silent.
Just then.
In the sky, the Alien Race Venerable Spirits who were about to depart also heard their conversation.
The ancestor of the Golden God Clan sneered, his voice as bone-chilling as ice.
"Hmph! At least you have some self-awareness!"
"However... do you think you can return alive just by going alone?"
"I'm telling you, it's impossible!"
"Ning Yuan! I'll give you three months!"
"After three months, you must set foot on the Myriad Races Battlefield!"
"If you dare to be even a day late... hmph!"
"Then don't blame us for breaking our word and marching directly into your Human Ancestral Land to grind your bones to ash!"
The other Venerable Spirits chimed in one after another, their eyes filled with mockery and cruelty.
The reason they agreed to give Ning Yuan three months wasn't out of any mercy.
It was because they needed time!
They needed time to mobilize their troops, to set up an inescapable net, and to prepare an unprecedented 'welcome feast' for this damned HumanKid!
They wanted the entire starry sky to know the consequences of offending their myriad races!
They intended to let this kid die in endless despair and agony!
Facing this blatant threat.
Ning Yuan simply grinned, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
He looked up and pointed from afar at the group of overbearing figures in the sky, provoking them:
"Three months?"
"There's no need for that long!"
"But... I advise you all to send more people over."
"Otherwise..."
"When the time comes and too many people die, don't say I didn't warn you!"
"And don't be like today—unable to handle a loss and only knowing how to cry!"
These words were arrogant to the extreme!
It made those Alien Race Venerable Spirits so furious that their spirits nearly jumped out of their bodies; they almost rushed down to fight him to the death on the spot!
"Good, good, good! You sharp-tongued brat!"
"I'll see how much longer you can stay wild!"
"In three months, we'll see you on the Myriad Races Battlefield!"
After leaving this harsh remark, those Alien Race Venerable Spirits lingered no longer. They tore through the void one after another and vanished into the horizon, carrying a belly full of rage and killing intent.
They were going back to properly prepare a 'grand gift' for this reckless HumanKid!
With the departure of the Alien Race Venerable Spirits, this world-shaking battle finally came to a complete close.
Above Sacred Martial Mountain, peace was restored.
But in everyone's hearts, it felt as if a giant boulder was pressing down, incredibly heavy.
They knew this was merely the calm before the storm.
Three months later, an even more terrifying and bloody storm was about to begin its prelude on the Myriad Races Battlefield!
Everyone sighed as they looked at the youth who still appeared nonchalant, their eyes filled with complexity.
Such a Prodigy!
And such a pity!
Such a peerless genius, rarely seen in an eternity, was ultimately destined to walk toward destruction in this manner.
For the entire human race, this was an immeasurable and massive loss!
Ning Jianghe, Hua Tianchi, and Ning Dashan were also solemn to the extreme at this moment.
They didn't say anything more, simply taking Ning Yuan and disappearing from the spot instantly.
In the next second.
The four of them appeared inside a secluded quiet room.
"Speak."
Ning Jianghe looked at his Grandson and asked in a heavy voice.
"What... do you actually plan to do?"
Although he had acted incredibly powerful just now, deep down, he was more worried about Ning Yuan's safety than anyone else.
That was the Myriad Races Battlefield!
A true dragon's pool and tiger's den!
Ning Yuan looked at the worried eyes of his three elders, but a look of supreme confidence appeared on his face.
He held up three fingers and said in a calm yet firm tone:
"It's very simple."
"Within three months..."
"I shall step into the King Grade!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the pupils of the three top experts of the current age shrank abruptly; they were completely shocked!
