Chapter 4205 - 4224: All Brothers Here!

"How can I help you?"

On Lord Luo Si’s face, his expression suddenly became vivid, even with a cunning sparkle in his eyes: "Aren’t you able to come and go freely everywhere? Those old guys’ residences all have various protections. If I charge in forcefully, I’ll definitely be discovered, and there won’t be any surprise attack effect."

"If you lead me in quietly, as long as that old guy isn’t there, I can silently suppress his closest relatives, capturing them all in one go."

"Once we’ve captured his closest relatives, I’ll send him a message, luring him over alone. Then I can give him a good beating, make him half-paralyzed, forcing him to bed for several years."

"This way, not only can I vent my anger, but also instill fear in him, making him dare not to mess with my Black Witch Territory citizens. From then on, he can only behave and help me look after the Black Witch Territory."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Things must be justified. If you succeed and intimidate the opponent, then offer them great benefits. By leasing or entrusting, let the Black Witch Territory temporarily merge into Eagle Ridge. This way, you confirm that the Black Witch Territory still belongs to you, preventing future disputes or changes in people from causing trouble."

"As long as the legality is settled, coupled with your formidable strength intimidating them, and once they gain resources from the Black Witch Territory, there will naturally be no reason for disputes."

"But resources are ultimately finite. Once they’re exhausted one day, the people of the Black Witch Territory might gradually lose their means of living. You can make early arrangements and have them promise to let your Black Witch Territory people live in Eagle Ridge and treat them equally. Anyway, you can lay down conditions as needed. Ultimately, everything still hinges on strength."

Luo Si’s eyes suddenly brightened, giving Lin Chen a thumbs-up: "Impressive, I only thought of letting them gain resources and not mistreating the Black Witch Territory citizens. But you even considered everyone’s future livelihoods!"

"It seems that my impulsive decision to capture Eric back then was indeed the right move."

"If I hadn’t captured him, how could I have met you? In my times of danger, no one would come to rescue me!"

"Haha, I really am a genius!"

Listening to Luo Si’s words, Lin Chen felt a bit speechless.

How is it that he’s a Star Nebula Sixth Layer powerhouse, yet seems so untamed, like a playboy?

"Lord Luo Si, may I ask, how old are you now?"

Luo Si answered: "One hundred and twenty."

Lin Chen was utterly surprised. To become a Star Nebula Sixth Layer powerhouse at one hundred and twenty, this talent is terrifying!

Even if the cultivation conditions in the Magita Empire are better than in the Federation, being so powerful at such a young age, what level could he reach with more time?

The future is limitless!

Luo Si casually asked: "Lin Chen, how old are you?"

Lin Chen replied: "Five hundred."

Luo Si’s eyes brightened: "You look quite young, I thought you were younger than me, but you’re already five hundred, and yet not even a Nebula Martial Artist?"

Lin Chen was speechless.

Is it that I don’t want to become a Nebula Martial Artist?

"The world I used to be in operates on the cultivation system, where progression is slow, and cultivation can take hundreds of years, if not thousands..."

Luo Si’s eyes widened in surprise: "The cultivation system hasn’t surpassed the Star Nebula, yet you can live so long?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes, I’m not yet a Nebula Martial Artist, but my lifespan will be exceptionally long."

Becoming a Heaven Deity, Lin Chen is essentially immortal, though it’s just a manner of speaking. In numerical terms, there is always a limit, as time can eventually erase everything.

Luo Si gave a thumbs up and then slapped Lin Chen on the shoulder, saying heartily: "You saved my life, your strength might be lacking, but with your unique abilities, we’ll treat each other as brothers. We’re all pals, and if anyone bullies you, I’ll help you deal with them!"

Lin Chen felt pleased at heart, having someone like Luo Si, a Star Nebula Sixth Layer powerhouse as a protector, would definitely bolster his confidence.

"Thank you so much."

Luo Si waved it off casually: "We’re pals! Without you, I’d be buried by now, and my Black Witch Territory citizens would probably all have turned into slaves, facing a grim fate. You didn’t just save me; you saved them too."

After a pause, Luo Si curiously asked: "With your supernatural abilities, you could’ve rescued Eric and the others directly without making any deals with me."

Lin Chen laughed: "This was Talina’s idea. She said if the issue can be resolved through peaceful negotiations, there’s no need to resort to force, avoiding future troubles, since you’re a Star Nebula Sixth Layer powerhouse. It’s best not to offend you."

"She believed that even though the food resources were substantial, they were ultimately just tangible resources, and you’re a good lord. She’s also willing to pay some price."

This indeed was Talina’s decision, and Lin Chen wouldn’t steal her credit at this moment.

Luo Si nodded in praise: "Princess Talina is also a perceptive person. Does she know you saved me?"

Lin Chen nodded: "I told her, and she even accompanied me to buy the potion. Using her status to make large purchases avoided raising suspicions."

"Not bad."

Luo Si laughed: "Though it was you who saved me, her thoughtful action makes me owe her a favor too. Once I’m healed, I can help her out to repay that favor."

Lin Chen laughed: "She’ll be overjoyed to hear that."

Luo Si pounded his fist into his palm: "Fighting, that’s what I enjoy most. How else to improve strength without fighting?"

"I never intended to stay in one place, always planned to travel and become a free mercenary, take on quests, battle folks, cultivate, grow stronger, and aim for greater heights in the universe."

"The Magita Empire, after all, feels too small to contain my Star Sea ambitions!"

Good heavens!

This ambition is indeed grand, much more spirited than my life of ease.

"And you, Lin Chen, what do you want to do in the future?"

Lin Chen laughed: "Back in my cultivation world, I had reached the peak, was nearly out of aspirations, ready to lie down and live leisurely, but then the Federation discovered us, razed our world, and later decided the value in our cultivation system. That’s when they halted their actions and allowed us to join the Federation."

"After entering the Federation, I put in some effort, thinking Level 10 was the pinnacle, and reaching Level 9 was my ultimate goal. But after venturing out, I realized my past self was just a frog in the well. Now, I’m not daring to set high goals, striving to become a Nebula Martial Artist, unifying my Immortal Path and Martial Path, and I’m genuinely curious about the outcome."

Luo Si nodded: "Nebula Martial Artist, it’s a small threshold, very simple. Let me explain, you’ll find it quite easy. When I moved from Level 9 to Star Nebula, I think it only took two or three years?"

Two or three years!

Lin Chen was truly speechless.

Unexpectedly, I saved a person on impulse and ended up rescuing a super prodigy.

Is it Luo Si himself who is this exceptional, or are all martial artists in this world this extraordinary?
