136: He is the boss!

The entire venue fell silent.

The young man who suddenly emerged from the Obsidian Shield was like a piece of ice thrown into boiling water, causing the entire battlefield to instantly erupt into an eerie silence.

Wang Han's brain completely crashed.

He reached out, trying to grab Lin Yu's sleeve, but only grasped cold air.

What just happened?

Lin Yu said... someone called him?

Who?

The old man kneeling in the ruins was desperately shouting for his “Boss.”

Then, Lin Yu walked out.

A thought so absurd it made him feel insane exploded in Wang Han's mind.

Could it be... Lin Yu... is that mysterious “Boss”?

The moment this thought appeared, it grew wildly, almost bursting his sanity.

But how could it be?

How is that possible?

How old is Lin Yu?

How did he become a Boss that even Chen Ao feared?

And... why is he so strong?

Not only Wang Han, but even both sides confronting each other on the field were stunned by this sudden turn of events.

Chen Ao's action of condensing energy stopped; he squinted, scrutinizing this uninvited guest.

Very young.

His aura was unremarkable, like an ordinary college student.

But to be able to walk out of that strange black shield, he could absolutely not be an ordinary person.

Could it be... he is that secretive “Boss”?

Chen Ao's guard was raised to the highest level.

He didn't immediately react but subtly glanced at the Old Ghost in the ruins.

The Old Ghost was his only criterion for judgment.

If this young man was the “Boss,” the Old Ghost would surely react.

However.

The Old Ghost's reaction was beyond everyone's expectations.

He just stared blankly, looking up at Lin Yu, who stood in the center of the battlefield, his face full of bewilderment and confusion.

He didn't recognize him.

It was a pure sense of unfamiliarity, coming from the bottom of his heart.

Who is this young man?

Why did he come out of that monster's shield?

What does he want to do?

The Old Ghost's mind was a mess.

Firstly, Lin Yu had either visited Old Ghost Hall late at night or worn a hood and mask, never showing his true face.

Secondly, after the baptism of the [Origin] tier skill, Lin Yu's physique, appearance, and even his core temperament had undergone earth-shattering changes.

He was reborn.

At this moment, Lin Yu was a complete stranger to the Old Ghost.

And the Old Ghost's momentary dazed became the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Chen Ao smiled.

It was a cruel smile, suppressed for a long time, finally finding an outlet.

He understood.

The Old Ghost didn't recognize this kid!

Then what was there to fear?

What kind of Boss? He didn't come at all!

This kid was just a fool who happened to be caught in it, had some special life-saving means, but now, not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, wanted to come out and be a hero!

Wang Han also understood.

When he saw the Old Ghost's bewildered expression, the flame of hope he had just ignited was instantly extinguished by a bucket of ice water.

No... Lin Yu is not that Boss!

Then what's the difference between him going out now and seeking death?

“Lin Yu! Come back! Hurry back!”

Wang Han no longer cared about fear; he rushed to the edge of the gap melted in the shield, shouting with all his might.

But that invisible barrier firmly blocked both his voice and his body within the safe zone.

Despair.

Utter despair swallowed him once again.

“Heh, another one not afraid of death.”

Chen Ao's patience had run out; he couldn't even be bothered to say extra nonsense.

Being provoked repeatedly by an old man, and now a young punk interrupting his rhythm.

The anger in his heart had completely boiled over.

“Since you want to die so badly, I'll grant your wish!”

Chen Ao no longer paid attention to Zhao Tianyang in the sky but completely locked his monstrous killing intent onto Lin Yu.

“I'll crush you to dust first, then...”

His words were left unfinished.

Because a being with purer killing intent and more violent rage than him made a new move.

Above the sky.

The Eight-Armed Asura, who had gained a moment of respite due to Chen Ao's pause but was still partially confined by six elemental forces, suddenly stopped struggling.

Its blood-red eyes, which only held destruction and madness, slowly rotated.

Finally, they focused on Lin Yu.

“It's over...”

Wang Han's vision went black when he saw this scene, and he almost fainted.

That mad monster had taken Lin Yu as an enemy!

Chen Ao's subordinates also showed schadenfreude.

This kid, who didn't know his place, was about to be torn to shreds by that monster!

Even Chen Ao himself stopped his actions with interest, ready to enjoy a good show of “black dog eating black dog.”

He even thought it was more interesting than doing it himself.

However.

The next second.

A scene that would be unforgettable for everyone, making their eyes almost pop out, occurred.

That towering Eight-Armed Asura.

That monster, so insane that it dared to slap Chen Ao, and only had the instinct for slaughter left.

After gazing at Lin Yu for three seconds.

Slowly... slowly... it bent its monstrous and enormous body, formed by blood-fiend energy.

Its eight arms, wielding hellish weapons, retracted all their sharpness and hung at its sides.

That proud, unyielding head, filled with the will of destruction.

Towards the slender young man standing on the ruins.

Deeply, it lowered itself.

That was not submission.

Nor was it fear.

It was an... instinct... etched deep in the soul, which would never be erased, even if one's mind was unclear, even if one forgot everything.

It was the absolute loyalty of a beast to its master... behind the Obsidian Shield.

Wang Han was completely speechless.

He opened his mouth, making gasping sounds in his throat, but couldn't utter a single word.

In his mind, the thought that had just emerged, which he himself had dismissed as insane, now exploded, turning into the only, unshakeable reality.

Boss.

Lin Yu.

Lin Yu... was he truly that mysterious “Boss” whom even Chen Ao vaguely feared?

He looked at the back of his nephew, the “failed exam retaker” who had recently been criticized by relatives and worried about by his parents at home.

Then he looked at the terrifying demon god, capable of destroying heaven and earth, kneeling at his feet.

The world, before his eyes, shattered into countless incomprehensible fragments... in the ruins.

The Old Ghost also saw it.

His eyes, clouded by grief and despair, suddenly lit up with a terrifying glint when he saw this scene.

How could he not understand?

Zhao Tianyang is a Mythic-level professional [Asura]! And now he's a madman burning his life for revenge!

He had long forgotten everything!

If there was anyone in this world who could make him, who had completely lost his sanity, adopt such a posture... there was only one!

Boss!
