Chapter 156

Chen Luo couldnt help but applaud inside. It seems Im not the only one with such ambitions.

I wanted to swallow you, and you, my goodness, you also wanted to take my place. Youve set your sights on my people.

Relying on your level five abilities, huh?Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Indeed, at this point, reaching level five is a rare feat. Without me, Mi Ling and the others have at most one or two people reaching level five.

To elect the leader through a duel?

Most people might not agree with this approach, but Chen Lu readily accepted.

Three games, two wins, no matter what, Im confident that both me and the Thunderbolt King will win two games. How could we possibly lose?

Ouyang Lu looked at Fei Zhengqing in surprise. So hasty?

True, with the leaders strength, how could we possibly lose?

Seeing Chen Luo fall headfirst into Fei Zhengqings trap, Ouyang Lu looked at him with a sympathetic gaze.

So hot-blooded, easily riled up, isnt he?

When Chen Luo agreed, Fei Zhengqing laughed heartily. He was so confident because he was just like Chen Luo. He had never encountered an opponent at his level along his journey. The ability users he had faced were all crushed under his might.

Four against three, five against four, how could it not be a crushing victory?

He had never met an equal.

Chen Luos base might have level fives, but the chances were too small, and even if there were, Fei Zhengqing believed that he could kill them with the skills he had acquired.

In the whole of Cloud City, there was only one level five like him, and his talent combined with his opportunities were incredibly rare. When he arrived in Divine City, he didnt see anyone capable of fighting him.

Fei Zhengqings eyes gleamed as he said, The timing is up to you, my friend.

Chen Luo replied, Theres no better day than today. Lets meet outside the city this afternoon, shall we?

Fei Zhengqing readily agreed.

As Chen Luo bid farewell, he couldnt help but squint his eyes.

Fei Zhengqing contemplated that this was a significant opportunity to strengthen himself. After this merger, he wouldnt be able to recruit anyone new, so he needed to carefully digest the resources. He would remove any members who were of little use or didnt follow orders.

Chen Luo arrived, much to the surprise of his group. They were baffled by who had the courage to challenge Chen Luo to a duel and voluntarily walked into such a situation. Moreover, Chen Luo had actually accepted the challenge?

Chen Luo suspected that the opposing side had some promising individuals.

Both groups converged, and Fei Zhengqing made a loud declaration: Chen Luo, inform everyone of our agreement to prevent any dishonesty. Our alliance is for a better chance of survival. We will swear an oath, and no one should cheat.

Ill go first, and anyone who cheats will suffer divine retribution.

Chen Luo chuckled, As you wish.

Chen Luo emphasized that the promising individuals on Fei Zhengqings side had better not cheat, or there would be consequences.

While Ouyang Lu might not be as crucial as Mengyin, she was still valuable.

The two groups cleared a massive 5050 open space for their contest. The rules were set as 3 vs. 3, best of three rounds. In the first round, Chen Luo sent his team first, while Fei Zhengqing would decide his team based on the situation.

Chen Lu was confident, believing that he and the Thunderbolt King couldnt lose. He chose Su Dazhu, a Level 5 in the physical abilities category. Su Dazhu wasnt an ordinary Level 5; his defensive capabilities were far superior to the typical Level 5, although his strength was fairly average.

In the elemental abilities category, an individuals strength could significantly vary among peers, even at the same level.

On the other hand, in the physical abilities category, the variance depended on a persons body constitution. For example, Xia Haoran excelled in hand-to-hand combat, while Su Dazhu specialized in defense.

Fei Zhengqing carefully observed Su Dazhu, a towering and robust individual, most likely a physical abilities expert.

Fei Zhengqing commanded, Sun Yu, youre up.

Sun Yu nodded. He was a Level 4 earth elemental ability user and had reached this level just a month ago. Among Fei Zhengqings group, he consistently ranked in the top three in terms of strength.

Sun Yu and Su Dazhu stood about twenty meters apart. At the start of the match, Su Dazhu quickly charged toward Sun Yu.

However, Sun Yu remained calm and composed. He waved his hands, and four earth pillars abruptly appeared in front of Su Dazhu, enclosing him. These earth pillars might not be thick or sturdy enough to stop Su Dazhu, but they could buy Sun Yu some time.

Seeing the narrow gap between the four earth pillars, Su Dazhu hesitated.

If only I were a bit slimmer, I could have just squeezed through.

Ah, since I started following Brother Chen, even in this post-apocalyptic world, Ive managed to gain ten pounds.
