Chapter 106

8.5 - Remember it. That's my name.

This arena fight was unexpected, but people were looking forward to it regardless.

Xue Ling could be considered as a new emerging powerhouse in Yanshan base, but his title as a powerhouse was only rumored, and most people had not confirmed it yet. And because of the rumors, people had different guesses about his level of strength. Most of the applicants that came here today knew that they were taking a chance.

No new forces had emerged in Yanshan base for a long time, and the contenders could no longer see any path for future development in those old forces. If they wanted to get ahead, they would have to gamble. And it was at this time that Xue Ling appeared.

At first, almost everyone had been frightened by Xue Ling's ability to freeze others at a glance, and nobody doubted his skill. It was not that nobody wanted to go up to test it, but everyone was holding back and hoping that someone else would go up on stage before they did.

In such a situation, if it had not been for the man that was now standing on stage, this stalemate would probably last until the end of the recruitment drive. After all, Xue Ling's aura was so strong that a glance at him would make people shiver, let alone saying anything provoking towards him.

Xue Ling stamped a foot, and his entire person lost his previous laziness all at once. When he stood up, he was just like a sharpened sword waiting to come out of its sheath. That kind of fierce killing intent made everyone go still, and become nervous against their will.

At the same time, they also felt a little lucky in their hearts.

Fortunately, the person on the stage was not them.

Xue Ling had actually thought about this interlude long ago. He never expected that his plans would go smoothly according to his will, so he had been ready to go and fight on stage as early as when he decided to host a tournament to recruit members. Only, his current opponent made him a little surprised.

In this story, the hierarchy of this world's strength was split this way: the strongest ability users were SSS-ranked powerhouses, and at present, there was nobody on this level. The one and only SS-ranked ability user was in the Northern Research Base, and he was a government researcher who devoted himself to researching ways of turning zombies back into humans. His combat ability was not very strong, but he was a psychic ability user, and if he wanted to, he could make anyone whose mental power was not as strong as his go crazy, die, or completely destroy their consciousness.

There was no precise data on the remaining S-ranked powerhouses, but each large-scale base generally had two or three, while medium-sized ones had one. A small third-rate place like Yanshan base where there were all kinds of forces would not have many powerhouses, only attracting A-ranked ability users from elsewhere. There was no need to talk about the BCDE-ranked ability uses, as those were small fry that did not count for anything in Xue Ling's eyes.

In fact, the level differentiation for zombies was very similar. The SSS-ranked powerhouses were on the same level as their zombie emperor, and this was probably the point that made zombies act arrogantly towards ability users. They already had the support of their SSS-ranked emperor, and no matter what they did, at the end of the day, the side that would be destroyed was not them. This was also why He Yan needed to train up a SSS-ranked ability user in order to deal with the zombie emperor. When their strengths were unequal, there was no way to kill the zombie emperor unless the other party was willing to die.

The SS-ranked powerhouses were on par with the royal zombies. They were each rulers of a territory, but these the zombies were not as dispersed as the ability users, who only ruled their own territory. Rather, they were all gathered together under the command of the zombie emperor, and listened to his orders. In this regard, if the two sides really went against each other, the probability that the ability users would all die off was much higher. The ranking of the lower level zombies was relatively simple and arbitrary. There were also intermediate and low-level zombies under the high-level zombies. The low-level zombies had the largest territories - although they had no consciousness, they could still create lots of big problems for weak ability users when they gathered together in large groups.

What was worse, because they didn't have awareness, their desire for flesh and blood was even more powerful. As long as they could scent flesh and blood, they would be like a dog who had scented a fleshy bone and rush up. Killing one wave would only bring on the next wave, endlessly, until people collapsed.

The person currently on the stage gave Xue Ling a particularly strange feeling. Xue Ling had already recovered three of his tails, and although he would be weakened when he came into the world, even coming up against a SSS-ranked powerhouse would not be a problem. But he had no way to sense this man's power level at all, which made him a little eager to give it try.

The system fanned the fires from beside him, "Lord host! Kill him for me!"

Xue Ling raised his eyebrows and ignored the system. Although it did not have the ability to sense that man for him, only a plot defender or his man would be able to make the system gnash its teeth like this. He looked the man up and down, curved his lips, and confirmed his identity.

Choosing a body that fit his preferences so well, this should be his family's golden thigh~ It seems that he always wanted to be a little stronger than him in every world.

Although he thought this way, Xue Ling did not intend to pass up the chance to play tricks on the other party. He still didn't know anything about the man right now, and using this opportunity for a fight in order to feel out the other party was a good choice.

The confrontation between the two had already begun as soon as Xue Ling stood up. Both of them spread out their auras, and the crowd of onlookers involuntarily retreated back several steps, leaving a large area beyond the platform empty. They did not want to become accidental sacrifices during a fight between skilled powerhouses.

That scene would definitely be very beautiful.

Although his mind was full of unfiltered perversions, the man managed to hide these thoughts perfectly beneath his proper, serious expression.

The dagger slid past his neck, but the man did not dodge it. He reached out, and gave the person who had charged his way over a full body hug. Xue Ling was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, he felt a numbness spread through his body. The feeling of being run through by lightning was not very good; Xue Ling's legs turned soft, and his entire body was almost paralyzed.

The only reason he did not fall to the ground was because the man had reached out to embrace him.

"You, are very good." Xue Ling was stunned again as he heard the man's cold and distant voice.

He lifted his head to glare angrily at the man. For no other reason, but because the bastard had stretched out a hand to pinch him on the ass!

Could he stop being so shameless? Saying such words with a serious face, and then making such moves with his hands.

The man saw that he looked like he was about to explode and bite him, and a smile flashed across his eyes. He held him up so that he could stand properly, and then opened his mouth to say, "Calm down a bit. I'm going to take away the trees."

Xue Ling no longer wanted to deal with this damned rogue. He turned around to leave the platform, and as he turned, the trees on the platform began to shrink crazily until they all turned back into a single seed that fell into the man's palm.

The crowd saw that the two of them had stopped, and were somewhat curious about what had happened. Finally, they heard Xue Ling say, "You are such a great Buddha, and I'm afraid that you won't fit under my temple."

Everyone was somewhat surprised. Since Chu Han had opened his mouth to say such words, they became even more curious about who had won between the two.

"I'll stay. You can treat me as external aid." The man's voice sounded a little indifferent, and coupled with that kind of aura that seemed to keep people at a distance of a thousand miles away, people did not dare to approach him. His face looked particularly serious when he was expressionless, and those who did not know better would absolutely think that he was a decent and successful man.

Before having his ass pinched by him, Xue Ling had also thought he was an iceberg. Now, he was deeply aware of his mistake. The man had always been repressed and bottled up, but the ways in which he was repressed was different in every world...

In this world, he turned into a damned rogue!

Xue Ling met his gaze, and the man's eyes did not contain any hint of discomfort. He looked towards Xue Ling and opened his mouth to say, "Xun Yu."

Xue Ling looked at him expressionlessly.

The man added one more sentence. "My name."

Xue Ling's face was indifferent. "Oh."

Deng Sini came up and asked, "Boss, should I add him? While you guys stand here, the people after you have no way to come up..."

Xue Ling gave the man a look that was sharp enough to stab, and turned to leave. "Chu Han."

His next sentence floated over from a distance. "Remember it. That's my name."

The man carefully tasted this name between his lips and teeth, and rubbed his fingertips. The tenderness and warmth in his eyes was a little terrifying.

Deng Sini's expression was muddled. What was the boss up to? A kind of tsundere feeling suddenly rose up...
