Make me leave the team? My beast girl and I can win easily.

During her time at the border, Lin Yu discovered she had an extra worry.

Every day when she opens her eyes, she can feel a strange energy surging in from a certain direction, entering her body, and then converging on Lin Huan.

That is a more refined form of "willpower".

The power of will from the Eagle People.

The story begins three days ago.

That day, Lin Yu led the beast girls to "inspect" the settlement of the eagle people.

Lin Hui mainly wanted to see how her mechanical hunting dogs were doing with the house.

When Lin Yu arrived there, she was stunned.

Dozens of small buildings now stand neatly arranged on what was once a wasteland.

It wasn't the primitive stone houses like those in the Eagle People's tribe, but a proper cement building.

It has two stories, windows and doors, and a tiled roof.

Even the exterior of each building has electrical wires strung up.

An air conditioner outdoor unit is mounted on the wall, and there is a tap in the yard.

The eagles flitted among these "mansions," their faces beaming with happiness.

An eagle-man sat in front of his house, basking in the sun and drinking hot water, and exclaimed, "I've lived for eighty years, and this is the first time I've lived in a house that doesn't let in any drafts..."

Another young eagle-man was studying the faucet. It turned it on, and water gushed out, startling it so much that it jumped back. Then, it curiously approached and used its claws to catch the water and wash its face.

Several eaglets were running around in the yard, chasing after a small mechanical hunting dog.

Those were "toys" that Lin Hui had specially left for them.

Lin Yu's lips twitched as she watched this scene.

Lin Hui peeked out from his arms and said proudly, "Master, aren't Hui'er's children amazing! They finished building it in just three days!"

Lin Yu rubbed her dragon horns: "Amazing."

Taotie perched on Lin Yu's shoulder and whispered, "I also want to live in a house like this..."

Lin Yu tapped her head: "You're living in a villa now, it's much better than this."

Taotie thought for a moment and nodded.

At this moment, the eagle-man chieftain flapped his wings and flew over, landing in front of Lin Yu and kneeling down with a thud.

"Your Majesty! You have arrived!"

Lin Yu was already used to its habit of kneeling down all the time, so she waved her hand to make it stand up.

"How are you doing? Are you settling in?"

The clan chief stood up, so excited that he danced with joy.

"I'm used to it! I'm so used to it!"

"Your Majesty, you are truly our second parent!"

"The wooden house we used to live in was drafty in winter and leaked rain in summer. We had to use leaves to plug the holes when it rained."

"This house is so sturdy and warm now, and it even has that amazing 'air conditioner'—just press one button and it blows cool air! Press it again and it blows warm air! It's incredible!"

It pointed at the air conditioner on the wall, its eyes filled with admiration.

Lin Yu nodded: "That's good."

The chieftain continued, "And that faucet! Water comes out as soon as you turn it on, so we no longer have to fly two hours every day to the river to fetch water!"

"And that light, it turns on with the touch of a button, so I don't have to fumble around in the dark anymore!"

As it spoke, its eyes reddened.

"Your Majesty, our Eagle People have suffered for generations and never imagined we could live such a life."

"You are our benefactor, we will always remember your kindness!"

Lin Yu felt a little embarrassed by what it said and coughed lightly.

"Alright, alright, just live your life properly."

The chieftain nodded vigorously, then turned and shouted to the tribe:

"Come here, everyone! The King is here!"

Whoosh—

A large flock of eagle-men flew over and surrounded Lin Yu.

Then, they all knelt down.

Lin Yu: "...Could you please not kneel?"

The chieftain said earnestly, "Your Majesty, this is a courtesy of our Eagle People, expressing our highest respect!"

Lin Yu shrugged helplessly.

Fine, I'll kneel then.

Whatever makes you happy.

At this moment, Lin Huan suddenly let out a soft "Eh".

Lin Yu looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Lin Huan closed her eyes to sense it for a moment, then opened them with a look of surprise on her face.

"Master, the power of their prayers when they worship you... is much purer than what I received during my previous live stream."

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment.

Lin Huan was most familiar with the power of will.

She usually does live-stream dancing, and the wish-granting power generated by her hundreds of millions of fans is already quite considerable.

However, those wishes are rather "scattered," and everyone's emotions are different, so they need to be purified before they can be used.

And these wishes of the Eagle People...

Lin Huan thought for a moment and used one word to describe it:

"Extremely pure."

"This shows their gratitude and worship, without any ulterior motives, and with one heart."

She paused, then added, "If this kind of will continues, Vera's leveling speed can be much faster."

"Both weapon strength and range can be significantly improved."

Lin Yu fell silent.

He looked at the eagle-men kneeling on the ground, gazing into their sincere eyes.

Suddenly, I realized that building houses for them seemed like a pretty worthwhile thing.

He waved his hand: "Get up, everyone. Just live a good life from now on."

The eagles then stood up, but their eyes still held a deep reverence for Lin Yu.

The chieftain asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, we've erected a statue of you on the altar, and we'll be worshipping you on every important day. Do you mind?"

Lin Yu's lips twitched.

statue?

To worship him at the altar?

He's only in his early twenties, and he's already an object of worship?

But thinking of those pure wishes, he took a deep breath and nodded.

"...Alright then."

The clan leader was overjoyed: "Great! I'll make the arrangements right away!"

Lin Yu watched its departing figure and sighed silently.

Lin Hui nestled on his shoulder and asked in a childish voice, "Master, why are you sighing?"

Lin Yu gently rubbed her corner: "It's nothing, it just feels... a little strange."

Lin Hui tilted her head: "What's so strange?"

Lin Yu thought for a moment: "The feeling of being worshipped."

Lin Hui blinked: "Then Hui'er also wants to be worshipped!"

Lin Yu smiled: "You're still young, let's talk about it when you're older."

Lin Hui pouted, but was quickly drawn to the little eagle-people of the eagle-people tribe and ran over to play with them.

......

On the way back, Lin Huan silently felt the power of those wishes.

"Master, at this rate, Vera will be able to level up in another month."

Vera floated beside her, her expression calm, but upon closer inspection, a hint of anticipation seemed to flicker in her eyes.

Lin Yu nodded.

About a month.

This is a good opportunity to explore the Starfield Battlefield.

Just then, Lin You's illusory figure appeared from the void.

"Master, we have a guest."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow: "Who?"

Lin You pulled up a photo.

That's a woman.

She looked to be in her late twenties, with long, icy blue hair cascading over her shoulders. Her features were exquisitely beautiful, and her eyes held a hint of aloofness.

She wore a white battle robe with an ice crystal pattern embroidered on the chest.

Lin You introduced: "Yan Shuang, S-rank class 'Frost God Envoy,' vice leader of the 'Dawn' battle group."

"It is said that he is a level 65 expert and a well-known powerhouse in the Starfield Battlefield."

Lin Yu recalled that she had met this deputy regimental commander briefly during the "Battle of Wujiang".

He looked at the photo and asked, "What did she want from me?"

Lin You shook her head: "He didn't say, he only said he had something important to discuss."

Lin Yu thought for a moment.

"Let her in."

......

Five minutes later, Yan Shuang entered Lin Yu's temporary residence at the border.

She sized up the young man, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Is this Lin Yu, who recently caused such a big commotion on the Starfield Battlefield?

It seems... that nothing has changed since the last time we met.

But she quickly suppressed her curiosity.

Because each of the girls behind Lin Yu exuded an aura that made her heart flutter.

Especially that silver-haired swordsman, the way he looked at her was like he was looking at a piece of meat waiting to be slaughtered.

Yan Shuang took a deep breath and gave a friendly smile.

"Mr. Lin Yu, it is a great honor to meet you again after our last meeting."

Lin Yu nodded: "What does Deputy Regiment Commander Yan want to see me about?"

Yan Shuang cut to the chase: "I want to ask you for help."

Lin Yu gestured for her to continue.

Yan Shuang organized her thoughts and began to speak:

"Our 'Dawn' chapter has recently discovered a 'hidden realm'."

"A hidden realm?" Lin Yu raised an eyebrow.

"Yes. There are many such secret realms in the Starfield Battlefield. They are rich in resources, but also fraught with danger," Yan Shuang explained. "This secret realm is divided into five areas, each guarded by a large number of magical beasts, as well as three level 75 Overlord-level magical beasts."

"At the same time, each region has a unique mechanism that must be cracked in order to move forward."

She paused, her expression turning serious.

"Our chapter has tried three times, and failed in the first area each time."

"Those three overlord-level magical beasts cooperated perfectly, and with their mechanics suppressing them, we were no match for them at all."

Lin Yu understood.

"You want us to help you with the strategy?"

Yan Shuang nodded: "Yes. If we successfully conquer the area, we will split the final reward—a legendary piece of equipment and a large amount of source crystals—evenly."

"If the equipment is useful to you, you can choose it first."

Lin Yu looked at Lin Xue.

Lin Xue nodded slightly, meaning "I can consider it".

He then looked at Lin Shan.

Lin Shan closed the book and said calmly, "My lord, the hidden realm is worth exploring."

Lin Yu thought for a moment and asked Yan Shuang, "Where are you now?"

Yan Shuang's eyes lit up: "Our camp is right at the entrance to the secret realm. If Mr. Lin Yu is willing, we can go and take a look now."

Lin Yu stood up.

"Let's go."

Yan Shuang was stunned for a moment.

"Now? Now?"

Lin Yu nodded: "What's wrong? Is it inconvenient?"

Yan Shuang quickly shook her head: "No, no! Please come with me!"

She turned and led the way, but inwardly she was thinking:

This person is too decisive!

However... it seems quite reliable.

……

The Dawn Chapter's camp was located on a flat area at the entrance to the Hidden Realm.

Dozens of tents were neatly arranged, with a huge command tent in the middle.

Various defensive runes were set up around the camp, and several sentries were patrolling.

Yan Shuang led Lin Yu's team and landed in the center of the camp.

Inside the command tent, core members of several battle groups were having a meeting. Upon seeing Yan Shuang return, they all stood up.

"Deputy Commander!"

"Who is this...?"

Yan Shuang introduced, "This is Mr. Lin Yu, whom I invited to help out."

Those people looked at Lin Yu with different expressions.

Some were curious, some scrutinizing, and some with a hint of doubt.

A man in his thirties stepped forward, frowning, and said, "Vice Commander, he looks to be only around level fifty, right?"

"Even with so many level 60+ players in our guild unable to beat him, how could he possibly succeed?"

Yan Shuang glared at him: "Shut up. Haven't you heard of Mr. Lin Yu's reputation?"

The man paused for a moment, then his expression changed.

"Lin Yu? The Lin Yu who took down the headquarters of Japan?"

"The national champion?"

"The one with dragons and the Taotie?"

Yan Shuang nodded: "Yes."

The tent fell silent instantly.

The man chuckled dryly twice and shrank back.

"Sorry, never mind..."

Yan Shuang looked at Lin Yu and said apologetically, "My subordinates are ignorant, Mr. Lin Yu, please don't mind."

Lin Yu waved her hand: "It's nothing."

Yan Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and led Lin Yu to a map.

"This is the structural diagram of the Hidden Realm."

Five regions are clearly visible on the map.

The first area is a lava field marked "Flame Corridor".

The second area is an ice field, marked "Frozen Abyss".

The third area is a forest, marked "Shadow Jungle".

The fourth area is ruins, marked "Thunder Relics".

The fifth area is a palace marked "The Final Throne".

Yan Shuang pointed to the first area and explained:

"The mechanism of the Flame Corridor is 'temperature stacking'. The longer you stay inside, the higher the number of 'burning' layers will accumulate on your body."

"Each layer of 'Scorching Heat' reduces defense by 10%, and can be stacked up to 10 layers, or even more."

"If we cannot eliminate all the monsters before then, we will face the danger of losing our defenses and becoming vulnerable to being destroyed at the slightest touch."

"At the same time, three level 75 Overlord-level magical beasts are stationed here—the Flame Demon King, the Flame Messenger, and the Lava Behemoth."

"They worked together seamlessly. The Fire Demon King handled ranged attacks, the Flame Messenger handled melee combat, and the Lava Behemoth tanked the damage. Each time, we were worn down by their relentless attacks and had to retreat from the Hidden Realm."

She sighed.

"We tried three times, and could only last for a maximum of twenty minutes before we were expelled."

Lin Yu nodded after listening.

"Understood."

Yan Shuang asked cautiously, "Then...should we go in and try it out first?"

"If that doesn't work, you can use an escape talisman to get out."

Lin Yu glanced at her.

"Want to give it a try?"

He smiled.

"No need to try."

Yan Shuang was stunned.

"No, we don't need to try?"

Lin Yu turned around and walked towards the entrance of the secret realm.

"Just call them directly."

Yan Shuang opened her mouth, as if to say something, but nothing came out.

She quickly followed.

......

The moment I stepped into the secret realm, a wave of heat hit me.

Before me was a crimson world.

The ground was churning lava, with only a few scattered rocks to step on. The air was thick with the smell of sulfur, and the temperature was ridiculously high.

Lin Yu looked at the panel and saw a new buff in the status bar:

[Burning: Current stack 1, Defense -10%]

Lin Hui nestled in his arms, her little face scrunched up.

"Master, it's so hot..."

Xiao Chi peeked out from Lin Yu's shoulder, also sticking out her tongue from the heat.

Lin Yu ruffled their fur.

"Just bear with it, it'll be over soon."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a deafening roar erupted from ahead.

Three enormous figures slowly rose from the lava.

On the left is a giant engulfed in flames, standing twenty meters tall—the King of Flames.

On the right is a humanoid creature formed from pure flames, floating in mid-air—the Flame Messenger.

In the middle is a giant beast that looks like a turtle but is covered in lava, carrying a small volcano on its back—the Lava Beast.

The Fire Demon King opened his mouth and emitted a deep, human voice:

"Humans... are here to die again..."

The Flame Messenger sneered, "This time I brought a few little guys with me; they look delicious..."

The lava behemoth didn't bother to speak, it simply spewed out a cloud of smoke.

Yan Shuang's face turned pale, and she subconsciously took a step back.

The members of the battle group behind her also gripped their weapons tightly in tension.

But Lin Yu's team didn't react at all.

Lin Xue didn't even draw her sword.

Lin Ya is looking for the right angle to take a picture.

Lin Shan flipped through the book without even looking up.

Lin Duo hid behind Lin Xue and whispered, "They're so big..."

Lin Qing held Lin Yu's arm, staring at the fire creatures with a vacant look, as if they were inanimate objects.

Lin Hui peeked out from Lin Yu's arms and curiously examined the three giant beasts.

The gluttonous beast licked its lips and whispered to Lin Yu, "Master, can we eat them?"

Lin Yu tapped her head: "Get to work first, we'll talk about food later."

Taotie scratched its head, looking aggrieved.

The Fire Demon King was enraged when he saw that these humans were completely ignoring him.

"court death!"

It raised its hand, and a huge fireball condensed in its palm.

The Flame Messenger and the Lava Behemoth also moved at the same time.

Then--

Lin Shan closed the book and raised her hand.

"The surging waters".

Five enormous waves appeared out of nowhere and swept towards the three fire creatures!

What are fire-eating creatures most afraid of?

Water, of course.

The Flame Demon King's expression changed drastically. He tried to dodge, but the waves were too fast.

"Splash—"

Three waves engulfed all three giant beasts.

The flames on his body had been extinguished by half.

The Fire Demon King crawled out of the water in a disheveled state, white smoke billowing from his body, his imposing aura significantly weakened.

Before it could even get angry, Lin Duo raised her hand.

"The field of smuggling."

An invisible wave spread out.

The Fire Demon King discovered that the fireball he had just condensed was flying towards the Lava Behemoth.

The Flamebringer found that the wall of fire he had unleashed was burning his own feet.

The lava behemoth found itself coughing from the smoke it was spewing.

They looked at each other, completely bewildered as to what had happened.

Lin Ya had already raised her hand cannon.

"Firepower coverage!"

From the turret fortress that appeared behind them, dozens of shells poured out, blasting smoke and fire into the distance.

The explosion was deafening!

When the smoke cleared, the three giant beasts lay on the ground, their bodies covered in wounds.

Lin Xue finally drew her sword.

A flash of silvery-white sword light.

The three giant beasts were beheaded at the same time.

The battle lasted less than three minutes from start to finish.

Yan Shuang stood there, completely dumbfounded.

She stood there with her mouth agape and her eyes wide open, unable to utter a single word for a long time.

The members of the battle group behind her had the same expression.

"This...that's it?"

Someone murmured.

"Three level 75 Overlord-level magical beasts, gone in just three minutes?"

"We hit them three times, twenty minutes each time, and we didn't even scratch their skin..."

"How did they coordinate? I didn't understand at all..."

Yan Shuang took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She looked at Lin Yu, her eyes filled with shock.

"Mr. Lin Yu, who...who exactly are you people?"

Lin Yu glanced at her.

"Ordinary people".

Yan Shuang: "..."

An ordinary person?

Can an ordinary person kill three level 75 Overlord-level monsters in three minutes?

She suddenly felt that she had wasted the last few decades of her life.

Lin Yu ignored her shock and looked at Lin Shan.

"Has the mechanism been lifted?"

Lin Shan closed her eyes, sensed it for a moment, and nodded.

"The Flame Corridor's mechanics have stopped. You may proceed to the next area."

Lin Yu nodded.

He turned to look at Yan Shuang.

"Would you like to come together in the next area?"

Yan Shuang snapped out of her daze and nodded frantically.

"Yes! Of course I want it!"

She paused, then asked cautiously:

"Um... how about the reward distribution? Will it still be split equally, as we agreed before?"

Lin Yu glanced at her.

What do you think?

Yan Shuang quickly said, "We'll take 30%! No, 20% is fine!"

Lin Yu thought for a moment and nodded.

"OK."

Yan Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and a smile appeared on her face.

The way she looked at Lin Yu had completely changed.

It started with politeness and curiosity.

Now it's... worship.

Absolute worship.

She leaned closer to Lin Yu and whispered:

"Mr. Lin Yu, are you still accepting applicants?"

Lin Yu was stunned for a moment.

"What?"

Yan Shuang said earnestly, "I want to join you."

Lin Yu fell silent.

Lin Qing's eyes immediately turned dangerous.

Lin Xue stared blankly at Yan Shuang, her hand resting on the hilt of her sword.

Lin Duo whispered, "Another one..."

Lin Hui peeked out from Lin Yu's arms and looked at Yan Shuang curiously.

"Sister, would you like to join us?"

Yan Shuang nodded, looking at Lin Yu expectantly.

Lin Yu sighed.

"We'll talk about it later."

Yan Shuang was not disappointed and nodded.

"Okay! I'll wait!"

She turned around and beckoned her teammates to follow.

The way the team members looked at Lin Yu turned into admiration.

A large group of people headed towards the second area.

......

at the same time.

Deep within the Starfield Battlefield, in a magnificent underwater palace.

The Naga Holy King sat on his throne, looking at the crystal ball before him.

Inside the crystal ball was a scene of Lin Yu's team fighting in the Flame Corridor.

It watched as the three Dominator-level magical beasts were easily killed, a hint of solemnity flashing in its eyes.

"This human... is stronger than I imagined."

Beside it, a Naga general bowed and said:

"Holy King, the army has been assembled."

"Our clan's 50,000 elite soldiers will be ready to depart in three days."

"We expect to arrive at the target area within ten days."

The Holy King nodded.

"very good."

It stood up and looked at the black-haired youth inside the crystal ball.

"Lin Yu... I told you, I would kill you with my own hands on the Starfield Battlefield."

"Now, I have arrived."

With a wave of its hand, the image on the crystal ball disappeared.

"Set off."

A massive army of 50,000 Naga marched into human territory.

Lin Yu, however, was unaware that this crisis was approaching.

He was in the second area of ​​the hidden realm, preparing to continue his crushing assault.
