Chapter 531: The Evil Challenge
Jin Yuchun's scheme indeed achieved its purpose.
The main reason is that Ling Zhan's existence brings too much uncertainty!
Initially, the Demon Arrival Organization didn't take him seriously, assuming that even if he reached level 100 with tier-four status, so what?
If the Demon Arrival Organization couldn't handle a level 100 tier-four, it would have ceased to exist long ago.
However…
Ling Zhan isn't an ordinary existence!
If he ever truly reaches level 100, who knows how terrifying his power might be?
Right now, he's only level 60!
Yet he dominates opponents in the 80s and 90s, tier-three!
What if he reaches level 100?
At the very least, he could probably take on five tier-four powerhouses by himself!
In other words…
Ling Zhan's combat power rivals the red-named bosses in the Forbidden Lands!
That's not a scenario the Demon Arrival Organization is willing to accept!
"Mr. Jin's suggestion is indeed feasible!"
Jiang Huo nodded seriously.
Once implemented, the plan would certainly shake the military forces worldwide.
"However, I have a question."
At this point, Andrea raised her hand.
"What's the question?"
Jin Yuchun asked, smiling.
"You're all focused on drawing Ling Zhan to the arena, but have you considered—can our Saints and Saints Candidates truly defeat him?"
Andrea said solemnly.
"Our Saints and Saints Candidates are all level 99! Each of them is one step away from level 100!"
"And that non-specialist is only in his sixties. Sure, he has cross-level combat capability, but it can't be that exaggerated, right? At most, he should only be able to defeat opponents around level 80."
Avid, the eagle-headed warrior, spoke up, feeling that Andrea was overestimating Ling Zhan's power.
"It's exactly that exaggerated! You haven't seen him yourself, so you don't understand how terrifying he is!"
"That guy could even fight me to a standstill before!"
"I don't know how he did it, but he managed to strip me of my attributes directly!"
"The reason for the failure during the freshman exchange was solely because of him!"
"And I was ridiculed by others in the organization for a long time because of it!"
Andrea said resentfully.
Her heaving chest made it evident just how much frustration and anger she felt.
And rightly so.
A respected level 100 powerhouse,
being humiliated by an eighteen-year-old human kid—it's hard not to hold a grudge.
When Andrea made this revelation,
the other tier-four powerhouses were visibly astonished.
They had always believed Andrea's mission failed because other tier-four powerhouses had shown up!
Who would've thought there was such an unexpected twist?
"In that case, there's even more reason to kill him!"
"The more monstrous he is, the greater the threat to our Demon Arrival Organization!"
"If we don't deal with him, he'll be the one to deal with us eventually!"
Jiang Huo decisively approved the plan.
Andrea's account only strengthened his resolve.
If this monster reaches level 100, it'll be a nightmare!
Recently, the Demon Arrival Organization's actions have been severely restricted!
In fact, they've long considered Ling Zhan's value.
The leader himself has ordered to capture him alive, if possible, and bring him into the Demon Arrival fold.
But back then, the Warcraft Tournament was taking place.
The organization couldn't make a move.
Especially with that Rotten Witch present.
So they had to wait until now.
"Alright, that's all I have to say. I won't be participating in this plan, anyway."
"If I join, that Rotten Witch will surely come after me."
Andrea shrugged nonchalantly.
But then, she seemed to recall something.
"If you capture Ling Zhan alive, I'm willing to pay two sacred artifacts to claim him."
"Oh? Has the Night Empress taken a liking to this human kid?" Jin Yuchun grinned.
"Yes, I want his life! The humiliation he dealt me is still vivid in my mind!"
"I'll make sure he spends the rest of his life suffering under my hand!"
Andrea declared coldly.
"Andrea, do you know what we call that in the Dragon Kingdom?" Jin Yuchun asked.
"What do you call it?"
"It's called 'love born of hate.' Every day, whether awake or asleep, you dwell on the shame he caused you."
"Once you catch him, you might act as though you want to torment him, but all you'll be doing is keeping him close by."
"So it's best not to hand him over to you. He should go directly to the leader, who will make him a loyal follower of the Demon Arrival Organization."
Jin Yuchun smiled.
"Old man, do you realize you're talking nonsense? Don't think I won't kill you with a slap."
Andrea's tone was icy.
"See? I struck a nerve. You're mad now," Jin Yuchun remained unflustered.
Among all professions, Daoists are the hardest to kill.
If a Grand Heavenly Master chooses to hide, only someone stronger could find him.
For everyone else…
it doesn't matter how strong they are—they can only shout at thin air if they can't locate him.
Like that human kid?
No way!!
She could hardly wait to tear that kid to shreds!
Andrea fumed inwardly.
"Alright, then it's settled!"
"We'll announce it through international media right away!"
"And let the leader know about the plan."
"It's time to cull the Kingdoms' so-called elite!"
Jiang Huo, as deputy leader, quickly finalized the plan.
This action had nothing but benefits for the Demon Arrival Organization.
Even if the worst happened and the Saints and Saints Candidates were defeated by the Kingdoms' elites, it would still cost them nothing!
These Saints and Saints Candidates were nothing more than experiments anyway.
Losing them meant only that they'd need to cultivate a new batch.
But if they succeeded in killing the Kingdoms' elites, it'd be an absolute victory.
If I don't gain, I certainly don't lose.
And so…
one day later,
an eye-catching news headline appeared across international media.
"An Evil Challenge: The Holy Church of Demon Arrival Issues a Grand Challenge to the Kingdoms' Armies!"
As soon as this provocative news hit the airwaves,
the world erupted in frenzy!
