Chapter 41, The Elf

outside the city.

Yan Lingfei successfully reunited with Lin Ran and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What's the situation now?"

Yan Lingfei: "In the battle of the superhumans, the human race did not gain the upper hand. Two superhumans from the werewolf and elf races joined forces, along with other superhumans from the orc race. However, this is human territory, so they dared not go too far and used another method."

"Within the new city, there is an arena, divided into early, mid, late and peak stages, starting from the first level, for battles between humans and other races."

"If the human race wins a game, they can acquire a lot of resources."

"If the alien race wins a battle, a portion of them will be allowed into Garrison Number Three. Currently, the outcome for both sides is roughly equal, but allowing more aliens into Garrison Number Three could have negative consequences. Many people from other major cities who participated in the elite program have already come here."

"Apart from that, in the new city, unless you actively provoke someone, you can't bully the weak; otherwise, there are no rules at all."

"besides……"

Yan Lingfei spoke quickly, giving a general overview of the new city and the situation of the human and alien races.

"No wonder there are so many alien races at Garrison Number Three." Lin Ran stroked his chin, a look of understanding on his face.

Where are all the human superhumans now?

Yan Lingfei: "Most of them are in the new city, and some are in the No. 3 base. The alien superhumans in the new city are slightly stronger."

"Let's go in and take a look."

Lin Ran said that he thought this was a good place to gain experience in the coming period.

The speed at which you gain experience by focusing on practicing a single skill is far slower than that of engaging in a battle.

Under Yan Lingfei's leadership, the procession immediately attracted the scrutinizing gazes of many alien races.

Lin Ran remained calm, his gaze sweeping over the numerous alien races before locking onto a mid-stage Tier 1 werewolf. He then activated his pupil technique: Instant Slash.

puff!

The werewolf, filled with murderous intent, suddenly had its head roll to the ground with a thud, its expression still contorted with rage, seemingly unaware that it was already dead.

Lin Ran immediately felt that the number of gazes directed at her had decreased.

He then selected a few lucky werewolves and sent them away without any pain.

This time, the number of gazes decreased significantly, and the remaining gazes were few and far between, but they were all from second-tier alien races.

Lin Ran ignored this, since even with all his strength, he couldn't defeat a second-tier opponent.

[Eye Technique: Instant Slash, Experience +20]

【Eye Technique: Instant Slash LV4: 1710/2000】

The speed at which experience is gained is basically equivalent to an hour of practice after killing three werewolves.

If this speed continues, killing another forty or fifty werewolves will allow you to level up again.

Following Yan Lingfei, they arrived at a secluded courtyard.

There is a stone path leading into the courtyard, with lawns on both sides and flowers planted along the edges. The exterior decoration is very exquisite and has a strong elven style.

"This is where I live now, which I stole from an elf." Yan Lingfei led Lin Ran on a general tour.

"A nice courtyard."

Lin Ran nodded in agreement; it was indeed much better than where he lived in the small world.

Yan Lingfei smiled shyly.

"That's certainly good, but there's another problem. The elves won't let it go after their courtyard was taken, so..."

"Yan Lingfei! Come out."

A sound came from outside the gate. It was very penetrating, but not noisy at all. In fact, it sounded quite pleasant!

"The troublemakers are here." Yan Lingfei smiled helplessly. "I'll go out and deal with them."

"I'll go too."

The four of them arrived outside the courtyard. The four elves who had knocked on the door earlier were two men and two women, all of whom appeared to be young people.

One of the female elves had a particularly gloomy expression; she was the one whose independent courtyard had been taken away.

"Yan Lingfei, is this your helper?" The elf glanced at Lin Ran and could tell that he was only at the mid-stage of the first rank.

"This is my captain. I advise you to show him some respect, or you'll regret it."

Yan Lingfei gave a cold laugh and leaned closer to Lin Ran.

"You?" The elf frowned, looking at Lin Ran with suspicion.

Lin Ran smiled faintly.

A jade pendant on the elf's chest suddenly lit up, then shattered with a snap, leaving a faint bloodstain on the elf's neck from the residual power.

The elf belatedly realized what was happening, his expression suddenly changed, and he retreated behind a male elf.

"This place is mine from now on. Do you have a problem with that?" Lin Ran said calmly.

The four elves' faces immediately darkened, but thinking of the effortless method they had just used, they dared not refute it for a moment. However, they were also very unwilling to leave just like that.

A moment of silence.

Lin Ran blinked, and everyone saw a bright light.

Immediately afterwards, the male elf on the far left suddenly widened his eyes, clutched his neck, and slowly fell to the ground, but his head rolled off the ground as he fell.

Lin Ran waved her hand, grabbed the elf's storage ring, and calmly looked at the other elf.

"We surrender, this place is yours."

The elf who was being targeted immediately changed his expression and tried to leave.

"Leave the storage ring behind."

The elf stopped, his expression changed twice, and he took off the ring and threw it out with a backhand.

However, after taking only two steps, it suddenly widened its eyes, and its vision spun around.

You seem very unwilling to accept this.

Lin Ran caught the ring, curled her lip, and moved her gaze.

The two elves didn't say a word, took off their storage rings, and offered them to the elves with both hands.

"We're sorry, it was our fault. We shouldn't have bothered you so abruptly. Please forgive us." *2

"..."

Lin Ran's lips twitched. They really were honest elves.

He took the ring.

The two elves relaxed slightly, and just as they straightened up, they were enveloped by a cloud of dark spiritual energy.

Yan Lingfei and Meng Yu rushed into the darkness without hesitation.

The darkness flickered for a moment, then vanished, revealing the corpses of two elves.

"Captain, who else should we kill?"

Yan Lingfei was filled with excitement. She had been restricted in many ways before, and now Lin Ran's arrival felt much better.

"Don't always think about fighting and killing." Lin Ran was speechless.

Yan Lingfei: "..."

Is it appropriate for you to say such things?

……

New City, the territory of the Elven race.

"Elder, four elves have perished outside the encampment. They were killed by a human who lived in Yan Lingfei's courtyard. We initially suspect that he was a human with higher authority who had trained them."

"Two cat-people accompanied him, and it was discovered that they were traitors to the cat-people race."

A middle-aged elf bowed as he reported the news, while a young elf in the head seat seemed bored and completely unconcerned about the dead elf.

He yawned and waved casually.

"Let those slaves kill this human. You don't need to report these kinds of incidents to me anymore."

"Yes, sir."

……

A secluded courtyard.

Lin Ran asked for a room and covered the floor with a layer of crystals, both fire and earth attribute crystals. Then she sat cross-legged on it to cultivate.

The Earthly Element Technique and the Fiery Cloud Divine Technique operate together, with their two paths clearly distinct and not interfering with each other.

After cultivating for an unknown period of time, Lin Ran sensed fluctuations in spiritual energy outside, indicating that trouble was on its way again.
