Chapter 387 - 291: The Integrity of the Older Generation
"Is Lin Lang really that bold? He actually dares to make a move on Elder Zhao?"
"He probably doesn’t understand how formidable Elder Zhao is!"
"It’s simply asking for death!"
Just as the tense atmosphere in the arena made everyone think a great battle was about to erupt—
"Hold on!"
From outside the arena, Zou Limu approached with steady steps.
With a helpless look in his eyes, he advised the two:
"Mr. Lin, Old Zhao, you both are the pillars of our Special Agent Bureau, how can you engage in internal conflict? It’s not a good look if others see us this way! Let’s discuss this calmly, don’t harm the harmony!"
In the Special Agent Bureau, Elder Zou held great respect; his words were like a bucket of cold water, temporarily quelling the anger in Zhao Jinyuan’s eyes.
Seeing Elder Zou step in, though Zhao Jinyuan was still fuming inside, he suppressed his fierce intentions and said to Lin Lang:
"Since Ji Qianlan is considered your student and Fang Yao is also my nephew, why not let the two young ones have a fair fight? Let their strength do the talking, this way we won’t be stuck in endless arguments."
A glint of calculation flickered in Zhao Jinyuan’s eyes—
Fang Yao, an S-Class superpower user, naturally left no chance of victory for B++ level Ji Qianlan!
This way, he could restore his own dignity and suppress Lin Lang’s arrogance!
It was killing two birds with one stone!
And upon hearing this!
Lin Lang’s lips curled into a confident smile, his eyes flashing with sharp light.
He stepped forward and said calmly:
"I’m not that old myself, I could be considered part of the younger generation, right? How about I have a fair fight with Fang Yao instead!"
Lin Lang was well aware of Zhao Jinyuan’s scheming!
How could he let Ji Qianlan suffer?
After all, Ji Qianlan is now under his wing!
...
"Hmph!"
Upon hearing this!
Zhao Jinyuan was flustered, naturally understanding—
The power Lin Lang displayed was unfathomable, at least SS Level!
If Lin Lang truly made a move against Fang Yao, Fang Yao probably couldn’t even withstand a single blow!
So, he hurriedly spoke, trying to stop this battle which was disadvantageous to him:
"Your combat power level is much higher than Fang Yao’s, if you fight, it won’t be fair at all!"
But Elder Zou, standing by the side, frowned deeply, his gaze fixed on Zhao Jinyuan, with evident dissatisfaction in his tone:
"Fang Yao is S-Class, while Ji Qianlan is only B++ level, isn’t that gap significant? You let them fight before, how was that fair?"
Elder Zou’s words were like a hammer hitting the ground, leaving Zhao Jinyuan speechless.
Upon hearing this!
Some onlookers whispered among themselves!
Zhao Jinyuan turned his face away, speaking coldly:
"That’s because Ji Qianlan’s talents aren’t good enough! She can’t blame anyone else!"
Just as the atmosphere in the arena grew increasingly tense!
Zhuo Yong, Elder Zou’s disciple, stepped forward.
With a tall stature exuding heroism and an unwavering sense of justice in his eyes.
Zhuo Yong said:
"In that case, I’ll fight on behalf of Qianlan!"
Zhuo Yong also possessed S-Class combat power!
He couldn’t stand Zhao Jinyuan and Fang Yao’s actions, wanting to stand up for Ji Qianlan.
"Mr. Zou, is this your decision? Do you really want to intervene in the grievance between me and this kid?"
Zhao Jinyuan looked at Zhuo Yong with a hostile gaze, questioning Elder Zou.
Elder Zou sighed:
"This kid’s grown up, he won’t listen to an old man’s words anymore."
But anyone with sharp eyes could see!
Master Zou’s disciples were supporting Lin Lang!
But Lin Lang waved his hand, his gaze firm as he said:
"No need. The dignity of the Shadow Dragon Team should be maintained by its own members."
After he finished speaking!
A mysterious and powerful force surged from him, instantly enveloping the nearby Fang Yao!
Immediately!
Fang Yao felt his power within, like a bursting dam, uncontrollably leaking out!
He widened his eyes in horror, wanting to struggle but unable to.
In the blink of an eye!
Fang Yao’s combat power was restricted to A-Class.
Seeing this, Zhao Jinyuan panicked and wanted to rush forward to stop Lin Lang.
But as he took a step, he was gently pushed far away by a wave of spiritual qi from Lin Lang.
Lin Lang looked at the wretched Zhao Jinyuan, saying coldly:
"Now that’s fair."
Upon seeing this!
Excitement and confidence flashed in Ji Qianlan’s eyes. She immediately stepped forward, her gaze firmly locked on Fang Yao, and said loudly:
"Do you dare to have a fair fight with me now?"
You, who used to ignore me as an S-Class!
As an A-Class, you can’t even reach me!
Fang Yao was frightened by Lin Lang’s methods, his heart now filled with fear. He quickly turned to Zhao Jinyuan, pleading:
"Uncle..."
Zhao Jinyuan frowned deeply, an unhappy expression on his face, saying impatiently:
"Now you’re A-Class, she’s still B++ level, what are you afraid of? Fight her!"
Fang Yao had no choice but to brace himself and agree.
At this point!
The power gap was not significant, it was a truly fair fight!
Regardless of winning or losing!
No one could say anything!
...
The battle was about to erupt, and Ji Qianlan made the first move.
Her long blade drew beautiful arcs, her entire being charging toward Fang Yao like a streak of black lightning.
The "Shadow Slash" ability she exhibited was extraordinary, with flashes of the blade interspersed with countless shadows, dazzling to the eye.
In contrast, Fang Yao, stripped of S-Class power, seemed to have lost his former majesty.
Now he cowered, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Facing Ji Qianlan’s fierce attacks, he could only retreat continually, occasionally striking back once or twice, but all seemed weak and powerless.
Seeing this!
Zhao Jinyuan’s heart sank!
The battle hadn’t truly begun, yet Fang Yao had already lost his resolve and spirit—
