176: Just how strong is Qin Yu?

"Brother Tian, how is this possible? Even if... even if Qin Yu is strong enough to instantly kill Zhou Dong with one move, he can't be so strong that all of us combined wouldn't be his match, right?"

Chi Tianlin's sudden words stunned everyone momentarily, but after they recovered.

Everyone utterly refused to believe that Qin Yu's strength was that formidable:

"Yes, we might not be enough, but... but aren't you and Brother Fierce Strength still here? Both of you are Level 20 now."

"How could we not be his opponents..."

One person spoke up first!

Immediately afterward, the others also began to agree:

"Exactly, Brother Tianlin, is that Qin Yu really that strong?"

"We just don't believe it."

"Right! All of us combined were just able to casually hunt Level 29 Radiant Beasts. Can Qin Yu possibly be stronger than a Level 29 Radiant Beast?"

"Yeah, how is that possible?"

The group began discussing it noisily again.

However, at this moment, after a burst of venting, Fierce Strength was the first to calm down.

Seeing Chi Tianlin's stern expression and recalling the words he had just spoken, Fierce Strength's expression also changed. He asked Chi Tianlin in confusion:

"Brother Tianlin, did you discover something by saying that?"

As they both came from the direct lineage of Kyoto aristocratic families, Fierce Strength understood Chi Tianlin quite well!

Don't look at Chi Tianlin constantly backing down and only enduring in front of Qin Yu, acting like a punching bag.

But Fierce Strength knew clearly that Chi Tianlin was extremely proud deep down!

For such a proud person to say something like that... there could only be one possibility: Qin Yu's strength might truly be enough for him to defeat all of them alone!

Otherwise, given Chi Tianlin's pride.

How could he suddenly utter a phrase that even he would normally deny!

As Fierce Strength spoke to Chi Tianlin again, the previously noisy crowd quieted down once more.

Everyone's gaze was once again focused on Chi Tianlin!

Seeing that the group had finally quieted down... Chi Tianlin lifted his eyes to look at everyone and said calmly:

"Didn't you notice that ever since Qin Yu appeared, he has been constantly provoking us with words, forcing us to make the first move?"

As soon as Chi Tianlin said this, everyone, including Fierce Strength, was startled.

Chi Tianlin did not look at their reactions at this moment.

Instead, he walked to the very front, gazing leisurely in the direction of the Central Area, and continued:

"And this is the result even after I immediately had Fierce Strength apologize to him first."

"If Fierce Strength and I hadn't apologized first, I think he might not even have used such a clumsy trick to force us to act. The instant he landed, he might have just attacked first."

At this moment, most of the people present were not fools!

As Chi Tianlin explained this, the group already believed most of what he had just said.

If Qin Yu truly wanted to force them to strike first... then Qin Yu's strength might genuinely be greater than all of theirs combined!

However, even so, some were still unwilling to accept it:

"But even if he was forcing us to move first, that doesn't mean he can fight all of us alone, does it? Is he... that strong?"

Hearing this, Chi Tianlin immediately let out another cold laugh and said:

"Did you forget something?"

"For the past two days, there has been absolutely no news of Qin Yu in the Miasma Swamp Zone. The Miasma Swamp Area is only so large. If he were truly in the Miasma Swamp Zone, do you think Qin Yu could possibly have remained completely undetected for two days?"

As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned again.

Chi Tianlin's voice quickly rang out again: "There is only one answer: something might have truly gone wrong when Qin Yu entered the secret realm..."

"He wasn't transported to the Miasma Swamp Area at all, but was transported to another area of the secret realm!"

"However..." Speaking up to this point, Chi Tianlin's voice became somewhat emotional:

"Even if he was transported to the wrong area, Qin Yu still spent two days traveling from other regions to get here!"

"Tell me, what are the other regions near the Miasma Swamp Area?"

"Ancient Ruins? Undercurrent Sand Sea? Temporal Turbulence? The Radiant Beast levels in these regions are far, far higher than those in the Miasma Swamp Area."

"And Qin Yu, under these circumstances, was still able to successfully reach us here..."

"Tell me, just how strong is Qin Yu?"

Chi Tianlin stopped speaking here.

Instead, he continued looking into the distance, pondering something unknown.

However, the expressions of the others behind him had completely changed!

"Undercurrent Sand Sea... Ancient Ruins... Temporal Turbulence... aren't these the three most dangerous regions in the Eternal Radiance Secret Realm?"

"Qin Yu, a person who, like us, only recently completed his profession change less than a month ago, managed to survive in these regions, cross through them, and arrive at the Miasma Swamp Zone?"

"This... this can't be!"

Someone muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.

At the same time, others were absolutely convinced by Chi Tianlin's words, their faces showing sudden realization:

"I knew that if Qin Yu hadn't been cleared out of the secret realm and was still in the Miasma Swamp Area, how could there be no news of him at all?"

"So that's how it is..."

"No wonder... no wonder his tone was so arrogant just now, giving us no face at all. Has his strength already reached this level?"

Among the dozen or so SSS-rank Profession geniuses, everyone's expression was different at this moment.

However, Chi Tianlin did not say anything further regarding this.

He simply took one last look at the distant Central Area before turning away directly.

He once again took the lead and walked to the very front.

"Alright, let's go! Since Qin Yu chose to use their own methods against them, let's not waste any more time here."

"If we can do this kind of thing, Qin Yu naturally can too. We can only say that our skills are inferior."

"If he wants this area, we'll just concede it to him."

"As for Radiant Beasts, the Eternal Radiance Secret Realm is so vast, we won't lack for them!"

After Chi Tianlin finished speaking, he didn't hesitate, turning around and taking another leap, setting off first.

Seeing that Chi Tianlin had left, the others naturally began to follow suit.

This time, after Chi Tianlin's thorough explanation, the unwillingness and anger they previously held vanished from their eyes... one by one, they followed behind Chi Tianlin as if resigned to fate.
