Chapter 373: Zhao Yanbian

Zhao Shaolong also looked up and said, "I think it's fine. Let's compete. I can afford to lose!"Unable to persuade these people, Li An turned to Zan Man and said, "How about drawing lots?""Who goes first? Let's draw lots?"Zan Man shook his head and said, "No."Li An continued, "Then you have to give me 4,000 Saint Cultivation Points before I'll play with you."His face was expressionless, as he read Zan Man's mind.The other party must want to play with us because they think they can win.They think they're using greed to lure us in.But now, they're the ones who are truly greedy!Look at those dozens of demon race contestants. Their greed is so strong that they could almost coalesce into an Evil Sword Immortal.So, Li An chose this moment to make his exorbitant demands.As expected. Zan Man simply shook his head and said, "4000 points? Are you dreaming?"Li An shrugged and said, "Then why should I play this game according to your rules?"Our faces darkened.Suddenly, Zhen approached and had a private chat with him.Zan Man said calmly, "We can offer 3000 points!"Li An turned to look at Di Qi and said, "Does this verbal agreement hold true?"Di Qi smiled at both parties and said, "It's up to you.""If you're sure you want to play this way, I can act as your guarantor."Then he looked at Zan Man.Zan Man nodded heavily and said, "Lord Di Qi, we're determined."Li An smiled and said, "Okay, deal!"The hammer fell.Zan Man's face changed slightly.Because Li An was laughing.It was a very unpleasant laugh.And then, Li An stepped forward, patted Lin He on the shoulder, and said, "Keep it up." Lin He nodded heavily, as if the verbal argument had just occurred.At this moment, a sense of unease rose within the hearts of the dozens of contestants from both races.Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lin He expressionlessly drew his Protoss bloodline dagger and plunged it into his chest.The next second,The Protoss's face appeared before the dozens of contestants, draped in a golden robe shrouded in divine light.At that moment, all the gloom and aloofness on Lin He's face vanished, leaving only a sacred indifference.The expressions of the dozens of enemy contestants were extremely grim, and many even held murderous intent.But Lin He remained undaunted, as if he hadn't noticed at all.Today, he had revealed his Protoss's face before everyone, yet his expression showed no fear.Today, he was unsure how to proceed on his journey to defy fate.But he absolutely could not let down those who trusted him completely!The sword's fingers converged in a cross-cutting motion.The force powerful enough to shatter space crashed down upon the load-bearing wall. The Dragon Elephant Inscription began to illuminate rapidly, with incredible speed!The enemy genius was filled with astonishment.He looked up.140 points!That's the score of a Level 1 player!No, more than that!The previous player was from the Ancient Shura Clan, and Lin He had even withstood the opponent's killing intent!This meant his true score was much higher than 140.This was Lin He's true strength!Lin He glanced at Zhen coldly, his eyes filled with unreserved mockery.Finally, as if looking down at ants, he swept his gaze over Qing Yi and the others, as if to say, "We're not even on the same level."Zhen's face was gloomy.Full of killing intent, and still 140 points!How many points would that normally be?I don't know.There's no way to calculate it.Would it be higher than his?Impossible!But I don't know, and I can't be sure!But even if it's not 150, it's definitely higher than 143!Behind him, Zang's face darkened.Ranked third in the martial artist group, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.Lin He's true strength was definitely of a certain level.But how much, exactly, no one knew. Could he be weaker than Zang? No one knew?The unknown was the most terrifying thing!Lin He simply said, "Next!"Qing Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward impatiently.He knew Lin He was definitely much stronger than him, but so what?Then he wasn't an opponent he needed to worry about. He was just a lackey, relying on the power of the powerful. Just doing his job was enough.As long as he played at his normal level, nothing else mattered!But in the end!Qing Yi's score stunned everyone.Looking at the Dragon Elephant Hades illuminating before him, Qing Yi's legs gave way and he sat down on the ground, muttering, "How is that possible?"Then his voice suddenly rose, and he roared, "It's fake! There's something wrong!""This is impossible!"Total score: 44 points!Any competitor who could even build a Holy Temple wouldn't have been able to achieve such a score.But Qing Yi did.At this moment, Li An said lightly, "It seems your average score won't be very high."The competitors from both races felt their scalps tingle upon hearing this.Zan Man almost pointed at Lin He and asked him if he had released his killing intent!But he didn't know.The Humans still looked clueless.But Zhen and Zang's eyes had already taken on a sinister look.They always felt that the Humans knew the truth but were just pretending not to know!Next up, a third-stage competitor from the Ancient Shura Clan.Total score: 102!There's nothing wrong with that score.Next up, the third-to-last competitor from the Human Clan.His name was Zhao Yanbian, a handsome swordsman, and a fire swordsman at that.In the stage competition, he only scored 88.2 points, placing him at the third stage. Before entering the Cultivation Temple, he was quite satisfied with his achievements.As a man raised on the border of the First Great Wall, his ambition was to defend his homeland and, ideally, to achieve unparalleled merit for humanity.When he discovered his talent had reached the infinite level, he was ecstatic.He was just an ordinary child living in a border town, and to enter the halls of the Three Realms' most powerful geniuses was already a matter of great satisfaction.But the night before entering the Cultivation Temple, his old father suddenly produced a family tree he had never shown him before.The tree was extremely long, densely packed with text, leaving Zhao Yanbian at a loss for words.But when his eyes fell on the beginning of the tree, his laughter ceased.For there, written boldly, were three characters: Zhao Zhongtian!He was the direct descendant of the First Human King!His father told him that only three people in the entire human world knew this.One was the Human King.One was a more mysterious figure.The third was his father himself.No one else knew his true identity. "It doesn't really matter.""The bloodline of our ancestors was unrivaled back then, but in this day and age, it's already outdated.""Besides, after so many generations, the bloodline has become diluted and no different from that of ordinary people.""But when I saw you passed the entrance exam to the Temple of Cultivation, I felt I had to tell you the truth."Zhao Yanbian stood up and walked towards the load-bearing wall.His expression was calm, but a tsunami was already stirring within him.He knew far more than his veteran father.The era he now inhabited was one of great contention.The divine realm bowed its head.Myriad races surged towards the throne.The human race, as the leader among them, was a thorn in the side of all creation.Today's experience made Zhao Yanbian realize that the human race had no allies. Behind the human race were only the human race!The bloodline of our ancestors had been passed down for so many generations, yet no earth-shattering figure had ever emerged.Why did I, Zhao Yanbian, appear in this era?A bloodline that had long lost its power, gave birth to a talent of infinite magnitude.An ordinary young man from a border town ascended the steps to the Holy Temple.As all this unfolded, Zhao Yanbian seemed to hear the great ancestor whispering in his ear: "Young man with my bloodline flowing through his veins, please save humanity's destiny!""I, the first generation, can still contribute to humanity!"Thinking of this, he looked up at the load-bearing wall, suffused with murderous intent, and a blazing fire suddenly ignited in his calm eyes.Li Ang had only one request of him.Don't worry about how much force you can throw.After neutralizing the murderous intent, leave behind a killing intent that even the next demon cannot defeat!Off to the side.Di Qi's expression changed slightly.The fire in Zhao Yanbian's eyes was being discussed by the other geniuses.The fiery red flame, so ordinary, no different from the one bursting from a lighter. But the ancient and powerful Emperor Qi saw some clues from it, which made his eyes become serious and solemn.
