Chapter 469 - 372: Tempting Lu Lin? You’re Really Something
"Because of me?"
Lu Lin was stunned for a moment, as if it was the first time he heard such a statement from Zhao Xing.
"Senior Zhao Xing, please don’t say that, alright? Now more than 500 people have already comprehended Star Skills in my Star Power Domain and completed their promotion."
"Now it’s just you left, and I’m trying to figure out why you can’t comprehend Star Skills."
"Senior Zhao Xing, please don’t misunderstand me."
Lu Lin’s words were earnest, utterly selfless and for the public good.
Indeed, after Lu Lin spoke, many Titled King powerhouses around him voiced their support for him.
"Zhao Xing has really lost his mind. Lu Lin is such a good person, and he still talks like that, it’s really..."
This is from someone with a gentler temperament.
"Damn bastard Zhao Xing. Lu Lin doesn’t owe you anything, yet he’s guiding you to Star Skills, isn’t that enough? Do you think you can comprehend Star Skills every time you go out? Damn, you dare to speak ill of Lu Lin, you deserve not to comprehend anything."
This is from someone with a more irritable temper.
"Hasn’t Zhao Xing always been decent? Why is he like this now, unable to handle even a small failure? How did he become a Level 9 Martial Artist?"
This is from someone analyzing calmly.
However, Zhao Xing in the Star Power Domain didn’t know that his actions were seen by everyone.
Hearing Lu Lin say this, a cold smile appeared on his face, "Heh, Lu Lin, now you’re pretending to be innocent with me."
"What were you doing before? Didn’t you tell me that you found out my identity as a Black Shark Society spy?"
"That’s right, I told you, it was me."
"Before, because there were no significant matters, I never betrayed the federation."
"I didn’t expect you to have the ability to help people advance levels. With such important information, do you think I could keep it to myself?"
"Hahaha, alright, Lu Lin, put away that pretense of yours."
"These words, I’m just saying them casually in your Star Power Domain, but if anyone asks outside, I’d rather die than speak. What can you do to me?"
"Hahaha, hero, is it so easy to be a hero?"
Zhao Xing’s sneers were endless, but the thousands of martial artists around Lu Lin were left speechless.
What’s going on, are their ears broken?
What kind of nonsense did Zhao Xing just say?
He leaked the information about Lu Lin’s ability to help people advance in cultivation to the Alien Race?
And now he’s two-faced, speaking to Lu Lin like this while planning to act pitifully when facing others.
Chen Danqing couldn’t hold back after hearing these words, directly throwing a punch at the materialized scene.
But his ability was too weak, barely reaching the Star Dust Seventh or Eighth Layer, Lu Lin didn’t even need to defend specially, and Chen Danqing’s attack couldn’t harm him at all.
"Zhao Xing, I’m calling you senior once more. I, Lu Lin, was born a person of the federation, and so were my parents. In this life, even if I were to die, I wouldn’t do anything against the federation."
"But you, you actually revealed my information to the Alien Race. Do you know, because of your words, Zhang Xianzhi and Bao Hu, those two teachers, were tragically killed by the Alien Race."
"How can you bear it."
Lu Lin’s voice was somewhat agitated, Zhao Xing didn’t know that countless people were watching his words at that moment.
"What does their death have to do with me? In this bustling world, everyone comes for benefits, and they leave for benefits."
"If you couldn’t help them advance in levels, do you think they would have any contact with you?"
"Lu Lin, although you are strong, you still have such a young heart, thinking that as long as you’re willing to contribute to the federation, the federation will give you appropriate treatment?"
"Nonsense!!!"
"Back then, I was a team leader in the Exotic Beast Investigation Department, during a small beast tide, I had no good spot on my body while covering for several brothers’ retreat, and what did I get in return? A third class merit medal, not even a penny of subsidy."
"Instead, there was a bastard in the team, I still remember his name, Chen Ziya, who had just joined the team for less than half a year, for some reason, he was credited with the merit for this incident."
"An individual first class merit, team third class merit, and cash subsidy of 100 million Federal Coins, promotion, increased treatment, and he’s flooded with free medicinal elixirs for healing."
"What about me, because I had no money for treatment, at the Exotic Beast Department’s hospital, I could only get the cheapest steel frame supporting skeleton."
"For the next four years, I had a piece of steel in my right arm."
"So, do you think being a hero is easy? You just happen to be strong now, and the federation needs you. But in the future, when the federation doesn’t need you anymore, or when your ability can’t keep up with the main force, or if there’s someone with connections to a Federation Boss around you."
"You’ll know that being a hero is impossible."
Hearing Zhao Xing hysterically recount his past experiences, Barbecue King Liu Han’s face turned a dark shade.
He is the director of the federation’s Exotic Beast Investigation Department. Although he’s been stationed on the Exotic Battlefield these years, he hasn’t managed much of the department’s internal affairs.
In fact, most Titled Kings are like this. Cha Yuan, as the director of the Star Investigation Office, also stays permanently on the Exotic Battlefield. Lv Susu, as the director of the Exotic Investigation Department, is also often hard to find.
They became directors more due to their status as masters, serving as nominal heads in various departments, while the true management mostly falls to the deputy department heads within the Investigation Department.
Liu Han remembered that one of the deputy directors of the Exotic Beast Department seemed to have the surname Chen. Previously, when he came to report work, this deputy head also mentioned that he had a talented young relative and wondered if Liu Han would be interested in taking him under his wing.
But Liu Han wouldn’t have been delayed by some other things. The Deputy Department Head thought Liu Han didn’t want to take on a disciple, so he didn’t continue with the matter but later found another connection for Chen Ziya.
Now what’s going on over there, Liu Han has no idea at all.
"Lu Lin, how about it, do you want to consider joining me and defecting to the Black Shark Society."
"With your strength, with your ability, as long as you join the Alien Race, you will naturally become a favored person in the eyes of the Black Shark God Master."
"Yes, why didn’t I think of this before."
"Lu Lin, right now in your Star Power Domain, it’s just the two of us. Words from my mouth, directly into your ear, no third person knows. What do you think?"
"As long as you secretly express your allegiance, the Black Shark God Master won’t employ you immediately."
"Just like me before, most of the time as long as you do your part well, whenever the Black Shark God Master gives an order, you just follow their instructions."
"I’ve been a Level 9 Martial Artist with no issues, and in these seventy years, the Black Shark Society only needed me three times to assist. For you, the conditions will surely be more lenient."
"So, Lu Lin, consider it?"
Consider my ass!
Lu Lin thought to himself, I have an irreconcilable enmity with such evil.
But he didn’t say anything.
At this time, there were plenty of people willing to help and support Lu Lin.
"This scumbag, damn your grandma!" The usually gentle Chen Danqing couldn’t help but burst into profanity, showing how furious this big shot was.
"You actually dare to tempt Lu Lin, to serve some Black Shark God Master with you, I swear to God!"
After saying that, Chen Danqing still couldn’t calm down. He rushed to the Illusion of Zhao Xing, wanting to point at his nose and scold him.
But what everyone saw of Zhao Xing was actually just a manifested spirit created by Lu Lin. In essence, Zhao Xing’s spiritual entity was still in Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain.
Imagine this manifestation like mirroring a phone onto a computer or television.
You can see it, but you can’t interact with the items on the screen via operating the computer or television.
Not only Chen Danqing, but the surrounding martial artists were all filled with righteous indignation.
Lu Lin’s abilities, who here doesn’t know?
He is the super master who could stand up to the Black Dragon God Master and kill him.
The Human Federation, though not fully informed about the so-called Ten Gods of the Alien Race, knew they were not ordinary Star Generals at their peak.
They have immense combat strength, astounding recovery, indestructible defense, and powerful spirit and soul.
Not to mention the yet developing Human Federation, even drumming and Ming Jin against them, although unruly, wouldn’t deliberately oppose them.
"Lu Lin, you must not agree with him."
Standing beside Lu Lin, mom and dad were a bit nervous.
Their son was still quite young. What if he got tempted?
Lu Lin gave a faint smile, "Mom and dad, rest assured, if I were that foolish, the grass on my grave would have grown over a meter high."
"Don’t forget, I am the super master who can escape from under the hands of Alien Star Generals and Divine Lords, and I won’t be deceived by people like this."
After saying this, Lu Lin sent a voice transmission to Lv Susu and other veteran Titled King powerhouses.
"Seniors, I didn’t expect things to turn this way. What should I do now?"
Lv Susu and the others looked at Lu Lin with weird expressions.
Unlike Lu Lin’s parents who were ordinary people, Lu Lin himself is quite shrewd, if he truly didn’t have the slightest judgment about the current situation, then indeed, as he said, the grass on his grave would have grown over a meter high.
However, this incident also awakened them.
Although the federation appears glamorous on the surface, internally it has many hidden dangers.
The numerous conflicts have been concealed and haven’t erupted because of the presence of external forces.
Exotic beasts and the Alien Race, these two terrifying enemies, are constantly watching the Human Federation.
At the slightest opportunity, they would swarm in and divide the Human Federation.
Because of this great threat, the Human Federation has no choice but to unite and face the external threats together.
But, after several hundred years, in places that went unnoticed, there have been many indecent and shady events.
But now, with this incident continuing any further, it’s somewhat inappropriate, so Lv Susu and others discussed and ordered the removal of Zhao Xing’s physical body first.
As for Zhao Xing’s spirit, just let it stay in Lu Lin’s Star Power Domain for now.
No one expected that simply wanting to welcome Lu Lin and giving him a sense of homecoming would cause such a big commotion.
Five hundred people collectively advancing to Titled King status.
Zhao Xing openly seducing Lu Lin to defect.
Truly life is like a play, better end it quickly.
Lv Susu waved her hand, arranging to dispatch the surrounding crowd of martial artists, then led Lu Lin and the more than five hundred Titled Kings back to Food God City.
