After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Chapter 526: 396, Lin Da: Five moves, defeating you as easy as defeating a dog
 

“`

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a purple Energy Sphere burst into the scene.

Slo had been in pursuit of Lia, when at that moment, a purple Energy Sphere shot towards him from a distance.

Perhaps sensing the significant Magic Power contained within it, Slo retreated to dodge.

Immediately after, a whip lashed out through the air.

Slo frowned, choosing to back off once again.

The whip seemed delicate, but when it struck the ground, it thundered loudly, leaving a ditch as thick as a small arm.

The one who launched the attack at Slo was none other than the commander of the Adventurers’ Alliance in White Dove City, Lin Da!

Lin Da had just gone over to Isa, adding a Healing Art.

With Isa heavily injured, he did not hesitate to have her rest at the rear.

“Be careful, that Slo is very powerful,” Isa said weakly.

“Understood,” replied Lin Da with a nod.

With Lia’s cover, Isa safely made her way to the back.

With no further worries, Lin Da then turned his attention to Slo, who was ten meters away.

Lin Da’s gaze was icy, a flicker of Black Flame dancing in his pupils.

Since the incident with Hulus, Lin Da hadn’t felt such a strong desire to kill someone in a long time.

“If I beat you, I’ll be a Nine Star,” Slo said, carrying a Battle Axe on his shoulder, looking down at Lin Da with a mocking gaze.

Slo’s massive build endowed him with a robustness beyond ordinary people’s imagination. Next to Slo, Lin Da seemed like a frail Dwarf.

Slo’s equipment was also extremely luxurious; out of six pieces, four were of Epic Level, and the Battle Axe in his hand, known as the Axe of the Berserker Hunt, was of Epic Three Stars quality.

In the team, Slo was domineering and dictated everything. The Gold Coins produced by the World Tree were nearly all used to arm himself, turning into the strongest spear and shield, breaking through with sheer force, leading the team to higher levels.

This was Slo’s Strategy, and he himself was like an entire adventure team.

But what Slo couldn’t understand was why that damn journalist from Adventurer’s Weekly had only given him an Eight Stars potential rating?

How was he inferior to White Dove City’s Lin Da?

Slo could accept not being a Nine Star, but he couldn’t accept someone weaker than him having a Nine Star Adventurer rating.

Star ratings determined the resource allocation after joining the Ice Abyss Training Camp; Seven Stars received double the resources of Six Stars, Eight Stars received double that of Seven Stars… and so on.

Throughout this battle, Slo’s only target had always been Lin Da.

Letting the adventurers of Red Heart City exhaust Lin Da’s Magic Power, then injuring his woman right before his eyes, were all to enrage Lin Da.

Since Lin Da’s strongest weapon was his mind, then Slo would disrupt Lin Da’s rationality!

Slo curled his lips into a smirk, slowly extending his middle finger, “Kneel and beg for mercy, offer up your Nine-star Rating, and I might let you all off the hook.”

After sending Isa back to the ranks, Lia glared at Slo with indignation, “Lin Da, don’t get involved; I want to take down this disgusting big black bear myself!”

“Let me handle it,” said Lin Da gently, “You go help the others from White Dove City. Leave this big guy to me – consider it a debt I owe you.”

In Lin Da’s eyes, Slo seemed to be prey that he and Lia were competing for.

Lin Da didn’t dislike powerful adventurers; the more the likes of Abner, Dawen, and Bervis, the better—they were potential allies in the fight against the Demon Lord’s Army. But if someone were an enemy and attacked his Oath-bound, he wouldn’t mind giving them a taste of despair.

A profound black flame silently ignited in Lin Da’s eyes. On the plains at noon, a chill seemed to strike.

The crowd looked around in puzzlement, but couldn’t find the source of the strangeness.

“What kind of Magic Power is that?”

Off-screen, Sterry was munching on chips, blissfully unaware until she suddenly noticed the purple and green Magic Power coiling in a spiral around Lin Da, and she was momentarily stunned.

“`

“I’ve never seen it either,” Rudy said, staring straight ahead for a while to no avail, puzzled. “The pamphlet from White Dove City says that Lin Da is support, right? Wez, do you know what that magic power is?”

Wez, the only nine-star adventurer present, held a certain authority when he spoke.

Rudy and everyone else looked at Wez with confusion.

Even Abner, who was fairly familiar with Lin Da, was at a loss. During the match that day, Lin Da had not used that kind of magic power.

Wez’s face turned a bit red, “I don’t know either, but it definitely has something to do with the Poison Series.”

“We all know that!” Sterry rolled her eyes and said with amusement, “What we want to know is, what is that black magic power after the fusion!”

On the screen, Lin Da was engulfed in twisted Black Flame, clearly a type of Flames, yet it imparted an extreme icy chill.

The wild grass around Lin Da was devoured by the Black Flame, but it did not catch fire. Instead, it turned ash gray like a faded canvas, and when the wind blew, it crumbled into dust and scattered into the air.

This incomprehensible scene instilled a sense of dread in everyone’s hearts.

Just by looking at Lin Da through the screen, they all felt chills down their spines, as if they would be engulfed by Lin Da’s Black Flame.

Beyond his Magic Attributes, Lin Da’s demeanor had also changed significantly. He had transformed from a friendly-looking ordinary person into a cold, icy warrior, with only two leaping Black Flames in his pitch-black pupils, void of any personal emotion.

Sterry curiously thought, could this be the reason why Lin Da was rated as a nine-star by the Adventurer’s Weekly?

If the Lin Da of before was a giant rabbit leisurely munching on grass in the plains, the Lin Da now was akin to a demon wolf emerging from the darkness of night, with his aggression turned all the way up!

15th level of Mystic Realm, Fragrant Flower Plain.

A gust of wind blew over, and a few clouds floated across the plain in the sky.

The clouds obscured the sun, casting large shadows in the center of the battlefield.

Everyone finally sensed where that chilling air was coming from.

Be they adventurers from White Dove City or from Red Heart City, they all nervously swallowed and shivered, quietly shifting their feet to move further away from Lin Da.

In their eyes, what stood before them was not an adventurer, but a wild beast ready to devour humans!

“Lord Captain…” Monica, standing in the back row, flashed a look of worry.

When Lin Da saved her from the Heretics of Dragon’s Rest Tomb, he had also turned into this state. Back then, Lin Da had killed many Heretics, his face smeared with blood, yet he was still able to smile.

Although Monica liked Lin Da regardless of his state, this version of Lin Da frightened her.

“Fine, I’ll leave it to you,” Lia said with a deep look at Lin Da. “I’ll handle the others. Just go easy on them and don’t overdo it.”

Only Lia and Isa knew just how strong Lin Da was with his Twin Mana.

“Don’t worry,” Lin Da replied.

Slo, as he watched Lin Da enveloped in Black Flame, sensed something ominous and finally showed a grave expression.

The big-eyed Slo, who fixed his gaze firmly on Lin Da, slowed his breathing. His fiery red Battle Qi formed a layer of transparent Armor, coupled with the Life Barrier, providing double protection.

People moved away from them in tacit understanding, wary of becoming collateral damage.

At that moment, Lin Da extended his right hand, fingers spread, and said lightly, “Within five moves, I will win against you in front of a million adventurers from White Dove City and Red Heart City… as easily as one would win against a dog.”

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of everyone in the field shifted slightly.

Nobody expected the generally mild and stable Lin Da to speak so arrogantly.

Because of this statement, Lin Da’s reputation in Red Heart City hit rock bottom.

The suggestions there were filled with nothing but curses toward Lin Da.

After “Thief Leader” and “Ultimate Pervert,” Lin Da now had another nickname: “Arrogant and Despotic.”

Slo’s face turned as black as coal, “Fine, fine, fine, five moves? I’m really being underestimated…”

Whoosh.

Before he could finish speaking, a black figure burst forth!
