Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 1920: Bragging number 1 Novice

Ye Zhongming walked out of He’s tent with a dazed feeling.

He took only that chip with him.

As for He’s talk about marrying him and such, both of them knew it was a joke… at least on the surface.

It was hard to say about the future, but one thing both could confirm: even if there really was a marriage contract, so what? Couldn’t they retract it? Couldn’t they turn against each other?

If they truly wanted to do this, there was only one situation that would bind both sides: if the two had offspring together and established that offspring as the heir of both.

But… that wasn’t so easy.

Currently, both sides are cooperating under heavy pressure and don’t really need any guarantees. The best guarantee was mutual benefit. Ye Zhongming needed He and the Changxu Water Race’s assistance, and the latter needed Ye Zhongming’s potential and strength.

To put it bluntly, in this cooperation, the Changxu Water Race was temporarily giving up more. Because their situation was much worse than Ye Zhongming’s, they naturally needed to place bigger and more extreme bets.

Of course, once successful, the future returns for the Changxu Water Race would far exceed their investment.

After He survived the Novice battlefield and achieved outstanding results, she basically established her position as the clan leader of the Changxu Water Race. The biggest reason for this was naturally the potential she displayed. Secondly, it was also related to the recent situation of the Changxu Water Race.

They had too few people in a free status, and it had long been proven that they were incapable of leading their race out of difficulty. He was their only and last hope.

This cooperation with Ye Zhongming was the first, and most important, decision He made in her new role.

After seeing Ye Zhongming off, He fell asleep comfortably and felt at ease.

She had done all she could. The rest was up to fate and doing her best.

She could sleep, but Ye Zhongming couldn’t. Far more than just the Changxu Water Race awaited him.

The surviving Novices were basically taken away by their respective races. Their importance within their clans would be maximally elevated through this Novice battlefield. They would become the key cultivation targets of their clans. In the future… they would also become the most solid skeleton in that plan, only they knew.

Of course, some didn’t leave, like Helsky.

The Luther People did come, but Helsky didn’t leave with them. Because of this, the Luther People warriors who came to pick him up had a conflict with the Star-Eye Clan.

But basically, the Star-Eye Clan was at a disadvantage. Those Luther People came aggressively, insisting on taking Helsky. It wasn’t that they valued this spokesperson so much, but the points on Helsky were now important.

The attitude of the cosmic races towards spokespeople and nurtured warriors was different. In their view, Helsky was far less valuable than how the Star-Eye Clan viewed Ye Zhongming. They wanted to get the points and then have him die.

He saw the Luther People warriors flee; shouldn’t he die?

Fortunately, the Sheke Star camp was right next to the Star-Eye Clan’s. Yisewei was waiting for Robe Bai to get better before leaving. She discovered the Luther People causing trouble and went over, saying only one word.

“Roll.”

So the Luther People rolled away.

Yes, among the cosmic races, many things were resolved that easily, provided you had absolute strength.

The current Yisewei was not the Yisewei suppressed to only two thousand Furelai on the Novice battlefield. Now, she was the little mistress of the super major clan, the Sheke Star; a powerful successor almost unmatched among the younger generation; a super warrior in a bad mood because the object of her affection was severely wounded, and a close aide had died.

The Luther People truly dared not provoke her.

After the Luther People left, people from the Su Clan came.

Their attitude was still not very good, just not as arrogant as the Luther People.

However, Yisewei’s strength seemed somewhat lacking in comparison to the Su Clan people.

Never mind her, even if her father came, he couldn’t use the word “roll” to treat the Su Clan people, one of the three major factions.

The person from the Su Clan was one of their pureblood array masters. Pure bloodline, combined with his own strong strength, his status was much higher than Jie Su, this pureblood rising star.

When Ye Zhongming returned, this old man named Cheng Su was calmly… reprimanding Jie Su. When he saw Ye Zhongming, his gaze just swept past him.

In his eyes, not to mention the Novice number one, even White Robe wasn’t qualified to speak with him. The only ones in the Star-Eye Clan who could make him listen patiently were the two clan leaders.

Ye Zhongming could understand. Although he had become the Novice number one and was about to receive numerous rewards, before this Su Clan master, perhaps the man could earn that much by setting up two defensive arrays.

The Cloud Peak King didn’t feel humiliated by being slighted. Instead, he started pondering some things.

But this old array master was getting a bit carried away with his speech. Who knew if he was pointing at the mulberry tree to curse the locust tree? Of course, the ‘locust tree’ he was cursing was Yisewei; Ye Zhongming or the Star-Eye Clan weren’t even qualified for that.

However, the more Ye Zhongming listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. Jie Su’s expression also became increasingly awkward.

Both Yisewei and Jie Su had now recovered their strength, but they felt a closeness to Ye Zhongming—a bond forged through fighting side by side.

This kind of friendship formed between life and death could quickly bring people closer.

Moreover, Yisewei and Jie Su had ‘invested’ in Ye Zhongming here.

Jie Su’s personality was also easy to get close to, and Ye Zhongming appreciated this person. Yisewei doesn’t need to be mentioned; even if she acted for White Robe’s sake, she was still a great benefactor to Ye Zhongming and the Star-Eye Clan.

Now, this master was scolding one friend and mocking another, which made the Cloud Peak King very displeased.

“Master…” Ye Zhongming said softly.

But the master seemed not to hear and continued his elegant scolding.

This made the Cloud Peak King even angrier.

He recalled information about the Su Clan learned from White Robe, Jie Su, Yisewei, and others, as well as from other channels like the Star-Eye Clan. After taking a deep breath, he spoke again.

“Master, trouble comes from the mouth.”

Suddenly, the master stopped scolding. His eyes turned coldly towards Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming truly wasn’t afraid.

Not to mention that if a fight broke out, Yisewei beside him would definitely save him. Just Jie Su alone couldn’t watch Ye Zhongming be killed by his own clansman; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to explain it to White Robe.

“You are right, trouble comes from the mouth.”

The master returned the words exactly to Ye Zhongming.

Ye Zhongming shook his head and said, “As far as I know, the Su Clan has a rule: when choosing the successor for the highest position, it prioritizes direct lineage, right?”

Master Cheng Su looked at Ye Zhongming, uninterested in answering his question.

“So you see, Jie Su is of direct bloodline, and his talent is excellent. He is very likely to reach the highest position in the Su Clan in the future. Now that you’re scolding him like this, what if he ascends to that position in the future? You… what will you do then?”
