Chapter 96: The Showdown – I'm Very Strong Now! (5K Views Requested for Monthly Tickets)

Looking at those incredibly clear pictures, it was enough to send chills down my spine.

Although the photos were taken at night, the ultra-high-definition camera and the moonlight actually captured even the scales on the dragon's body in great detail.

"We discovered this dragon on the night of the full moon."

At first, we were also puzzled as to why it only appeared on the night of a full moon, and that it could not be detected at other times, even with the most advanced sonar or other life-finding devices.

Later, after repeated testing, we finally discovered that it actually comes out for a short time at the beginning of each month, and then enters a previously unused space.

At the bottom of the river, there is a huge bronze gate.

It is decorated with all sorts of mysterious patterns.

We've tried various methods to blast and crack it... but ultimately, all our efforts have been in vain.

That colossal bronze gate, though possessing its own true form, could not be touched by either explosions or anything else.

Only during the full moon each month does it manifest its connection to the world, and it is at this time that the one-horned dragon appears in the river.

Jiang Weiran stared at the photos and videos, pondered for a moment, and then slowly said, "It is obvious that this is the remnant of an ancient civilization."

According to the documents we have previously obtained, these sites often possess advanced technology from ancient civilizations.

The technological level of modern civilization is still somewhat inferior to that of the ancient times, so it's understandable that it cannot break through.

"Our experts share this opinion."

So we decided to explore the lost land on the next full moon night.

However, we are not strong enough.

In Jinling, there is only one expert who has just advanced to the Gang Jin level, although there are several other experts who have reached the Bao Dan level.

However, apart from one individual who had already awakened water-attribute abilities, the others were essentially unable to exert much influence in the river.

"That's why you told those powerful families, otherwise you probably would have kept it all for yourselves, right?"

Jiang Weiran's words immediately caused a slight embarrassment on everyone's faces.

She snorted coldly.

"You bastards, you only think about profiting your own families and don't care about the safety of the human race at all."

Humanity is already on the verge of collapse. If two more dense fogs descend, the beasts will unleash their full power, and humanity will be unable to resist.

Mr. Xu smiled calmly and said, "Jiang Xuxu, let's not beat around the bush. Our various families are all members of the human race, not alien beasts."

We will certainly fight to the death for humanity, but... that does not prevent us from wanting to pave the way for our own families.

"You can't expect us to protect humanity in the future without giving us any benefits, right?"

Jiang Weiran glanced at the other person and didn't say anything more.

She knew that it would be pointless to say anything.

With the current evolutionary frenzy underway, the entire order of the human race has been completely thrown into chaos.

These large families have deep-rooted and intertwined connections.

She could certainly deliver a devastating blow to them, but that would likely trigger a chain reaction.

Not to mention that among these people, there is a high possibility that there is also a powerful individual comparable to the gods.

Destroying one or two powerful families is not difficult; in fact, she could do it with her current strength and status. The difficult part is killing them all at once!

So this can be considered a compromise in some respects.

"I'm here on orders from the Ye family. According to their orders, we'll take 50% of what's left in the abandoned land, and you can divide the remaining 50% among yourselves."

"What? Fifty percent! You only contributed one person, and you want fifty percent... Isn't that a bit... "

'

Jiang Weiran gave the other person a cold look.

"You may be dissatisfied, but perhaps I can go and get it myself."

Upon hearing this, the other party immediately fell silent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Mr. Xu took the initiative to speak.

"Let's settle for fifty percent. Consider it our contribution to humanity. After all... we'll all need humanity's protection in the future, won't we?"

With him speaking up, everyone had no choice but to give up.

"If that's the case, then let's go with 50%."

After returning home, Lin Ye spent his time cooking with his mother.

Despite his mother's repeated objections, she could not overcome Lin Ye's stubbornness.

To her surprise, Lin Ye's mother discovered that he was an excellent cook.

"Xiaoye, how come your cooking skills have become so amazing?"

Lin Ye smiled calmly.

"When I'm away from home and have nothing to do, I cook for myself to pass the time."

Of course, that's a lie. In reality, with his current level of intelligence, doing these things is perfectly normal.

With just a single thought, a thousand completely different dishes can be generated in one's mind.

"My son is really successful."

The more Lin's mother looked at Lin Ye, the more satisfied she became, feeling that her son was the best in the world.

However, she soon realized something and couldn't help but sigh.

"I wish Xiaoyi could be as easy for me as you are."

"Isn't Xiaoyi doing great? She got into a top high school."

"Hey! You don't know, ever since that brat went on that trip, she's become so wild."

After she came back, she didn't study at all. All she did was hang out with Ji Xuerou every day. Sometimes she didn't even go home. I really don't know what she's doing.

"9

Lin Ye was slightly puzzled. What was Xiao Yi up to?

Although I did something to prevent her from showing off, it seems that this girl is still not on the right path.

I'll have to take a look when I have some free time later and correct her properly.

With the mother and son working together, they quickly prepared a feast.

Lin's mother called Lin Yi.

"Hello, the number you dialed is busy, please try again later..."

"See, I knew it. This brat, if she doesn't get a beating every day, she'll be climbing on the roof and tearing off the tiles."

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Lin's mother angrily threw her phone onto the sofa.

"I guess your dad's back. Ignore her for now, and deal with her properly when he gets back tonight."

After saying that, she went straight to open the door.

"It really is you! We just finished cooking, and you've come back just in time."

Outside the door stood Lin Ye's father, who looked remarkably like Lin Ye, even more so than Lin Ye resembled his mother.

Lin Ye is mostly like his father, who was very talented when he was young. It is said that his mother and a group of suitors from the same period were completely infatuated with him.

Later, I don't know how my mom managed to win me over.

Now that they're in their forties or fifties, they haven't become ugly; on the contrary, they've become more charming with age, exuding a mature, sophisticated vibe.

Wearing an executive jacket adds to his sophisticated look; a classic Ferrari.

Lin Ye called out as his father walked into the living room.

"dad."

Lin's father nodded.

"I'm back."

A father's love is always deep; it is not as fiery as a mother's love, but Lin Ye could clearly hear a slight tremor in his voice.

He smiled and nodded.

"Come and eat! Mom and I made today's dishes together. Try my cooking."

Mr. Lin nodded. Apart from the carefree Lin Yi, the family was quite harmonious.

During the meal, the mother kept serving food to Lin Ye, while the father would occasionally ask about Lin Ye's recent situation.

This quiet happiness caused Lin Ye's mental strength to surge, making him even stronger.

It is often said that a happy childhood can heal the pain of adulthood.

But in reality, every happy moment can heal those pains; it's just that we were more easily satisfied as children and didn't have as many desires.

It took the family of three more than half an hour to finish their lunch.

After dinner, the mother went to wash the pots and dishes, while Lin's father called Lin Ye to the study.

Lin Ye could roughly guess what his father wanted to talk to him about.

Because, the moment his father saw him, a hint of shock flashed in his eyes.

The father and son went into the study.

Mr. Lin took out a cigarette from his pocket, intending to light it, but realized he hadn't brought his phone.

But the next second, his cigarette spontaneously combusted.

Mr. Lin was taken aback for a moment, but quickly put it in his mouth and took a deep breath.

"Phew~"

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

"As expected, you've awakened a special ability. It seems to be a fire-based ability."

"As expected of Dad."

"I'm a veteran in the Public Security Bureau, after all. I handle cases every day and have come across quite a few extraordinary cases."

You've only been away from home for half a year, but you've grown several centimeters taller, your skin has become whiter than a celebrity's, and you've become more handsome than a celebrity.

Although Xiaoyi said you had plastic surgery, plastic surgery can't fix this much, and it looks so natural.

He paused, then continued, "Did you know that Xiao Yi has also awakened?"

Lin Ye nodded.

"I'm the one who awakened her."

"Um?

'

Lin's father was taken aback again, seemingly not quite understanding Lin Ye's meaning.

Lin Ye smiled again and said, "Actually, there's nothing to hide from you. I came back this time to take care of something."

But more importantly, I want to take you, Mom, and Xiaoyi with me.

"Where to take it?"

"Shanghai"

Why?

"Because as the evolutionary frenzy deepens, a large-scale beast frenzy will soon emerge."

By then, many people in the world may die.

"What you're saying is true. Of course I know many people will die, but going to another place means you won't die?"

As far as I know, that area is near the sea, so it should be even more dangerous, right? There are far fewer strange beasts on land than in the sea these days.

"You're right, the crisis they'll face over there in the future will be much greater than the one back home."

However... there's one thing over there that our hometown doesn't have.

"Which point?"

"I'm over there...."

Mr. Lin was stunned once again; he had expected his son to come up with many solutions.

For example, their technology is more advanced, or they have more skilled individuals...

But he never expected that the boys would use him as an excuse.

"What kind of reason is that? You're a fire-attribute awakener, there are tons of you out there. I even led a team to catch one today, and he's been beaten half to death and locked up now."

Lin Ye smiled.

"When did I say I was a fire-attribute awakener?"

"and you..."

While Lin's father was still puzzled, his eyes widened in surprise.

Because in front of Lin Ye, not only did a blazing flame appear, but it also slowly transformed into a ball of water, and then into mud, wood, metal, and lightning...

One element after another constantly shifted before Lin Ye, mysterious and eerie.

Lin's father's heart began to pound wildly, and he silently counted.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, lightning, ice... There are more than ten elemental attributes alone!

"Is it impressive?"

Lin Ye asked with a smile, and Lin's father nodded somewhat blankly.

"This is just my most ordinary method."

"Um?

Lin's father's eyes widened again instantly, staring at Lin Ye with disbelief.

He knew very well that the emergence of Awakened Ones in the world was already quite remarkable. Most Awakened Ones had a single attribute, and those with dual attributes were rare breeds, no matter where they were.

Not to mention multiple attributes!

However, for the son, having multiple attributes was just the most ordinary method?

How powerful must that son truly be?

"Just how strong are you right now?"

"About... three or four stories high."

"Three or four stories..."

Lin's father, caught off guard by the lack of knowledge, glared at Lin Ye with annoyance.

Stop being so cheeky.

Lin Ye found the old man's behavior hilarious.

After a moment of contemplation, he spoke again. This time, he didn't waste any words and directly gave a rough figure.

"I am very strong now... not just ordinary strong!"

To put it simply, although I'm not entirely sure, it seems that I am currently the strongest life form on Earth.

Even if they aren't the strongest, they should still be among the top few.

I can't say for sure what place it will rank.

Lin's father was completely dumbfounded.

My own son is so amazing?

This sounds like a dream! It's so unreal!

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

He felt a little uneasy because, based on his years of professional experience, his son didn't seem to be lying.

But it's not so easy to get him to believe it directly.

Because it's too absurd.

His own son became one of the top super fighters in the world, and might even be ranked number one in the world.

Could such a wonderful thing really happen to the Lin family?

Do the Lin family even deserve it?

Lin Ye didn't argue much, but went to the window and looked at the sky not far away.

At this moment, over a neighboring district, dark clouds are gathering, lightning flashes and thunder roars, and heavy rain is pouring down.

"Dad, have you ever heard of the sword opening the gates of heaven?"

"I heard some young guys in the police station say it was from a novel, someone could open the Heavenly Gate with a single sword... Wait, you... you want to open the Heavenly Gate with a sword?"

Lin's father was so shocked that he sat up abruptly from his chair.

"Let me show you something new."

As soon as Lin Ye finished speaking, the God-Slaying Sword appeared in his hand with a thought. The vast power within his body accumulated wildly, and the God-Slaying Sword began to tremble, emitting a dazzling dark blue light.

The oppressive aura was so strong that it made everyone in the entire neighborhood feel a tightness in their chests.

Lin's father was the same.

However, he was not overwhelmed by this aura, because Lin Ye deliberately released his power to protect him and prevent him from being under pressure.

The tightness in his chest stemmed from his own shock; his worldview had been completely overturned.

The next moment, Lin Ye raised his hand and unleashed a sword strike.

Suddenly, a beam of mysterious light shot into the sky, heading straight for the distant horizon.

The mysterious light, like a dragon, vanished into the thick thunderclouds in the sky in an instant.

Boom—!

With a deafening roar, the thunderclouds that were pouring rain were mercilessly torn open, leaving a large gash.

It looks as if God has opened a gate to heaven.

In that instant, throughout Jinling, several figures were stunned speechless by this aura and rushed out of their respective residences.

"What a terrifying aura! Whose aura is this?"

"To think that he could break through the thunderclouds with a single move, when did such a top-tier existence appear in Jinling? This is terrifying!"

.

"This attack has actually surpassed the ordinary divine order! Could it be that he has come to Jinling?"

But wasn't he in seclusion in the Kunlun Mountains? How did he end up here?

In a corner of Jinling Street, two girls dressed in costumes similar to those from the popular Chinese fairy tale "Balala the Fairies," their faces covered, who had just dealt with a few petty thieves, suddenly looked up at the sky.

"Who...who did this?"

"This world is terrifying. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding!"

Luckily, neither of us revealed our identities, otherwise it would have definitely gotten us into big trouble.

"Yes, we need to be even more discreet in the future."

Inside the room, Old Lin plopped back down in his chair.

He was completely stunned, as if he had lost his mind.

It wasn't until the cigarette butt in his hand burned his fingers that he was suddenly filled with surprise and joy.

"Ouch, whew..."

He quickly threw away the cigarette butt and was about to blow on it when Lin Ye's wood-elemental healing spell healed his cigarette burn.

"This is...your special ability? You can even heal wounds."

"I told you, it was just a little trick."

Lin Ye remained calm, because it was indeed a trivial matter.

"Let me digest this."

Lin's father rubbed his temples hard, first in shock, then in ecstasy, mixed with fear and confusion.

It took him quite a while to fully recover.

Finally, she calmed down and accepted the reality that her son was now a top-tier expert.

He took out another cigarette and lit it immediately, just like the previous one.

He stared at Lin Ye with disbelief and said, "Are you really my son? It's not like some kind of possession story from novels, is it? Like being possessed by some ancestor or emperor?"

Lin Ye: "..."

""

"If I had possessed someone else's body, would I need to tell you all this?"

"That seems to be true."

Lin's father nodded. If the other party was really about to be possessed, there was no need to waste words with him; he could just slap him to death.

Otherwise, what would you want from him?

Is it because he's old?

Does he think he's incompetent?

Does he still have to call him son?

"Well... there's something I don't quite understand. Since you're so capable, why don't you just stay in your hometown? Can't you just protect it? Why do you have to go somewhere else?"

"I can't protect this place on my own. The reason I'm leaving is because I've already made plans."

I will transform that place into a sacred land for humans, gathering many talented individuals!

Only in this way can humanity be protected.
