Chapter 120 Conflict!

Although not a superhuman, it's truly astonishing for an ordinary person to possess such abilities; no wonder Zhao Yingkong is so arrogant.

Newcomers of this caliber are very valuable for training.

Zheng Zha was no longer as angry as before.

Even so, Zheng Zha decided to teach Zhao Yingkong a lesson. So he blocked with his right hand and then kicked Zhao Yingkong away. With a bang, Zhao Yingkong crashed hard into the wall and spat out blood.

However, Zhao Yingkong did not fall to the ground like an ordinary person. She ignored the pain in her body and, after hitting the wall, actually used the reaction force to fly back at an even faster speed, her fingers directly stabbing towards Zheng Zha's heart.

Although Zhao Yingkong's reaction was indeed extremely fast, Zheng Zha's basic skills were far superior to Zhao Yingkong's at this moment, so he was able to react easily.

But he simply turned slightly to the side, avoiding vital points, and then struck out with a palm, seemingly intending to exchange injury for injury. However, judging from the golden light emanating from Zheng Zha's body, he had clearly activated the "Golden Light Spell," making it difficult for Zhao Yingkong to harm him.

[Not bad!]

Watching the two fight from the side, Lin Yu silently praised Zheng Zha.

Zheng Zha's strength is indeed impressive. In the original work, Zheng Zha, who was also a double C-level enhanced, needed to unlock his gene lock to deal with Zhao Yingkong. But now, he can easily crush Zhao Yingkong in his normal state without unlocking his gene lock. He is much stronger than he was at the same time in the original work!

"Stop!"

We couldn't let the two of them really fight, lest they get into a heated argument, so Lin Yu stepped in to mediate.

Of course, mere verbal persuasion wouldn't suffice, so Lin Yu simultaneously activated the "Golden Light Mantra," causing his entire body to glow with golden light. The golden light then transformed into two large hands, grabbing the two of them.

Seeing that it was Lin Yu who made the move, Zheng Zha did not resist, while Zhao Yingkong could not resist even if she wanted to.

"Zheng Zha, what can I say to you? You were once a junior manager in a company, was this how you managed your team back then?"

Lin Yu was genuinely puzzled. Zheng Zha didn't seem like a company manager at all. If he managed things like that, wouldn't the subordinates turn upside down?

Actually, Zheng Zha was right to intimidate a troublesome newcomer like Zhao Yingkong with his strength, if he hadn't been pushed to his limit before.

As the saying goes, one who has thunder in his heart but a calm face is worthy of being appointed as a general. As a leader, one must never lose one's temper or show one's emotions in front of subordinates, as this is a major taboo for leaders.

Zheng Zha was speechless. He knew how to manage a team before, but he didn't know why it had suddenly turned out this way.

"And Zhao Yingkong, since you're an assassin, you should understand what 'survival of the fittest' means and have the respect due to the strong!"

Lin Yu looked at Zhao Yingkong, who was restrained and unable to move, and spoke sternly.

"I understand, it was my fault. From now on, the captain's words are orders, and I will obey them."

Zhao Yingkong didn't refute anything, but decisively admitted her mistake.

Seeing that Zhao Yingkong admitted her mistake and the atmosphere eased, Lin Yu put the two of them down.

Zheng Zha was not happy to see this, because he knew that Zhao Yingkong's apology was not because she really thought she was wrong, but because she knew that Lin Yu was better than her, so she admitted her mistake.

Thinking about it carefully, he realized that he had encountered people like Zhao Yingkong before. Zhao Yingkong was arrogant and tough because of her own strength and talent. She was difficult to get along with. Weakness and concession were useless for such people. They would only be looked down upon more. Only by using stronger strength could he suppress her.

He clearly understands this principle, but for some reason, he does the exact opposite. Despite his great strength, he always gives in to Zhao Yingkong, a rebellious newcomer, which led to the conflict today.

Is it because of too much external pressure? Or has he changed and can no longer be the same as before? Zheng Zha thinks that perhaps it's a combination of both!

"Continuing from what we were saying, three more died today. All the new recruits outside should be dead by now."

After a while, Zhao Yingkong continued to speak, sharing the information she had found online.

"So, Chu Xuan is the only one left outside?"

Zheng Zha had a headache; the pressure from the Curse was too great, leaving him physically and mentally exhausted.

"It seems they'll either attack us or Chu Xuan next. Should we contact Chu Xuan?"

"I asked," Zhan Lan inquired.

"Even if I contact him, he probably won't come back. I might as well go find him myself, so that I can have someone to look after me."

Lin Yu spoke up.

Lin Yu sought out Chu Xuan not to save him, but to deal with Ju-on alone. In fact, with the current strength of the Central Continent Team, even without Lin Yu, they should be able to easily deal with Ju-on. Therefore, Lin Yu planned to kill Ju-on once to increase the difficulty and also gain extra reward points and side quests.

"No, this is too dangerous. I obtained a Buddhist scripture at the temple today, which should be able to resist the curse. If Chu Xuan wants to come back, he can; if he doesn't want to, then forget it."

Zheng Zha immediately refused.

Chu Xuan was very smart. Zheng Zha did not want him to die, but he was far less important than Lin Yu. If he was willing to come back, he could protect him. If he was not willing to come back, then so be it. He absolutely could not let Lin Yu take this risk.

"This is my decision. Who knows how effective the Buddhist scriptures will be? I prefer to take the initiative rather than be passive."

Zheng Zha's problem is that despite having the power to resist, he only wants to escape. But sometimes, the more you try to escape, the more dangerous it becomes.

A little analysis reveals that the Supreme God wouldn't give you a prop that allows you to easily survive a high-difficulty horror movie.

Faced with Lin Yu's insistence, Zheng Zha had no choice but to agree. He was not the kind of strong-willed captain, and Lin Yu was not an ordinary team member, so he naturally could not force Lin Yu to stay.

Upon hearing that Lin Yu was going to search for Chu Xuan alone, Li Xiaoyi felt a secret delight for some reason. However, he was more interested in the Buddhist scriptures that could resist curses than in this matter.

"Brother Zheng, is it true that the Buddhist scriptures you mentioned can ward off curses?"

"Of course it's true. We were attacked by that cursed child, but as soon as we entered the temple, he never dared to show up again."

Zheng Zha vividly described what happened, which surprised Ling Dian and Zhao Yingkong. They hadn't really expected much from this, but after touching the Buddhist scripture, they both felt a sense of relaxation, which made them completely believe it.

Others tried it too, and immediately gained faith in the Buddhist scripture.

"Speaking of that child ghost, we encountered it too!"

Ba Wang also mentioned that he and his companions encountered the evil spirit child, describing in detail what happened at the time, and praising Lin Yu in every word.

Can the "Golden Light Mantra" also attack evil spirits?

After hearing Ba Wang's description, Zheng Zha naturally understood that Lin Yu was using the "Golden Light Spell," but he did not expect that the "Golden Light Spell" could actually attack evil spirits.
