Chapter 360 - 284: Offering Myself as Tribute (Part 3)
Because the Summoning Element Ability, the Summoner themselves often become the biggest weak point!
But!
Just at the critical moment when the attack was about to hit Xina!
Xina quickly reacted, instantly covering herself in a layer of Metal Armor.
This Metal Armor had a cool design, its surface shimmering with a cold luster, clearly showing its incredible defense.
Boom!
The enemy’s attack landed heavily on the Metal Armor, making a loud noise.
The powerful impact made Xina’s figure sway slightly, but the Metal Armor successfully blocked this crucial strike.
Seizing the moment when the enemy’s attack was obstructed, Xina commanded her three summoned creatures to launch a counterattack.
The three monsters pounced on the enemy like starving tigers, immediately throwing the man into a predicament.
Despite his agile Body Technique and desperate dodging, he gradually became exhausted under the persistent pursuit and blockade of the three monsters.
In the end, Xina’s summoned creatures successfully defeated the enemy.
Xina let out a long breath, a joyful smile of victory spreading across her face.
She lifted her head, her gaze searching the judge’s table, and soon her eyes met with Lin Lang’s.
She flashed a brilliant smile at Lin Lang, her eyes full of happiness and pride!
...
After Xina’s brilliant match, the tournament continued to proceed vigorously.
In the following matches, various competitors gave it their all, showcasing their skills, and indeed, there were several who delivered stunning performances.
Some relying on unique abilities, others on exquisite combat techniques, they brought the audience an endless series of spectacular duels.
Zou Limu sat next to Lin Lang, his gaze wandering over the competitors, always hoping that Lin Lang could select a few more from these potential-filled competitors to be personally nurtured as his disciples.
However!
Since selecting Ji Qianlan, Lin Lang seemed to have not the slightest interest in the other competitors.
He never intended to take on many disciples—
In his view, taking on disciples not only meant responsibility but also inviting trouble for himself.
The only reason he singled out Ji Qianlan was because, after experiencing the devastating blow of her squad’s annihilation, she could still tenaciously retreat for Cultivation!
And even bravely stand up and fight for her squad’s honor!
This resilient character earned Lin Lang’s genuine admiration.
...
At this moment.
A Superpower User named Fang Yao stepped onto the ring.
This person was tall and lean, with a fierce and arrogant look in his eyes.
As the match began, his hands swiftly danced, exhibiting the ability "Infinite Deceit Silk"!
A series of transparent yet strangely glowing threads shot out from his hands, quickly entangling the opponent like agile, spiritual snakes.
Before the opponent could react, they were tightly bound by these threads, unable to move!
Fang Yao easily manipulated the threads, bringing the enemy down to the ground, winning the match effortlessly.
The crowd exclaimed:
"So strong!"
"He should be qualified to challenge Captain Zhuo Yong for supremacy!"
...
After winning, Fang Yao was not satisfied.
He cast his gaze toward the judge’s table, giving Lin Lang a glance.
In that glance was full of disdain and challenge, as if provocatively facing Lin Lang.
However.
Lin Lang merely glanced at him indifferently, not taking his provocation to heart, his expression remained calm as he watched the arena.
...
Yet!
Fang Yao did not plan to let Lin Lang off so easily!
He stood on the ring, pointing at Lin Lang, shouting arrogantly:
"Winning this tournament is a piece of cake for me."
"But look at this panel of judges! Any Tom, Dick, or Harry can stand up here as a judge, making me deeply doubt the value of this tournament!"
With that, he crossed his arms, provocatively staring at Lin Lang, his eyes seemed to say:
’What can you do about it?’
...
Fang Yao’s sudden provocation was like a bombshell, instantly stirring up a storm in the arena, surprising everyone!
"Is he crazy?! He actually dares to provoke the judges?!"
"Is he questioning the strength of the judges? Which one of them is not someone capable?!"
"However, indeed there is a rather inexplicable person among the judges this time!"
"Isn’t that Lin Lang?"
...
"Yes! It’s you, Lin Lang!"
Immediately!
Fang Yao openly challenged Lin Lang:
"You think you deserve to sit on the judges’ seat?"
"Come up on stage if you’ve got the guts, and face me one-on-one!"
...
Little sycophants and others, upon seeing the situation, suddenly became as if infused with energy, crazily shouting from below the stage:
"Fight! Fight!"
Their faces were full of excitement and anticipation, as if they had already seen the scene of Lin Lang embarrassing himself under Fang Yao’s hand.
Elder Zou’s face instantly became gloomy, he stood up, sternly speaking to Fang Yao:
"Lin Lang is a judge of this tournament, unique in his position, you have no standing to challenge him!"
However!
Fang Yao refused to relent, retorting doggedly:
"He’s about the same age as us, why can’t he come up and compete? Is he scared or something?"
The troublemaking sycophants and others, below the stage, continued to erupt in boos!
And just as the atmosphere was at an impasse!
Lin Lang calmly waved his hand and said:
"It’s fine, I can play along with them."
With that said.
He stood up unhurriedly, and walked onto the ring with composure.
...
"Let me see how much skill you really have!"
Fang Yao, seeing Lin Lang on stage, a trace of fierceness flickered in his eyes, without a word, immediately launched an attack.
"Infinite Deceit Silk" once again shot out from his hands!
Dense threads surged toward Lin Lang like a tide, attempting to bind Lin Lang in an instant!
But Lin Lang stood there calmly, not moving an inch!
