Swallowing the Stars: The cheat system only comes when I'm almost a god?
Chapter 79 The Fish Has Taken the Bait
"Brother Lin Yuan." Just as the atmosphere between the two was tense, Diman tugged at Lin Yuan's sleeve a few times.
He then pulled Lin Yuan aside and whispered behind him, "The Cangyuan King's lineage values face the most. If you have offended them in any way before, just apologize and it will be over. There's no need to argue with them."
"Moreover, Maxim was already a high-level expert who had achieved the rank of Marquis twenty million years ago, and he may have made another breakthrough now." His face was full of barely concealed worry.
"Although you have also broken through to the advanced level of Marquis, it has been too short a time. You certainly haven't had time to learn the various secret techniques to improve your combat power. You would be at a great disadvantage fighting him."
If the Purple Lightning King had not yet perished, Diman would naturally not be afraid of him. After all, one of their teachers worked at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, while the other could only go to the Ancestral God Cult. It was obvious who was stronger.
For 100,000 years, he had suffered greatly because of his teacher's death, so he did not want to offend anyone before the Purple Lightning King was resurrected by his clan.
Advising Lin Yuan to back down was entirely a subconscious act, because the idea of finding a way to quell the incident as soon as possible was already etched in his mind.
"Hahaha!" Before Lin Yuan could answer, Maxim burst into laughter upon hearing Diman's words, "He's right!"
My strength is beyond your reach. If you're scared, just admit defeat!
"As long as you publicly admit in the world chat that you were blind not to choose Teacher Cangyuan, and then avoid me from now on, I'll forgive your offense!"
"?"
Lin Yuan was a little confused. The other party was still indulging in wishful thinking. "Besides, refusing to be accepted as a disciple is offensive. Just how fragile is your teacher, King Cangyuan?"
He thought that King Cangyuan had sent the other party to cause trouble, but he didn't know that Maxim had actually caused all of this himself.
Maxim was right next to Cangyuan King when he sent out the email to accept disciples.
Lin Yuan's unique flames, which interpreted the Dao of Fire and Void, impressed King Cangyuan. King Cangyuan praised Lin Yuan as a natural-born prodigy on the path of the Beast God. This made Maxim very dissatisfied, but he could not show it because of his teacher.
What made him most jealous was that his teacher was even willing to do everything he could to help Lin Yuan apply for the Divine General inheritance, but the other party actually refused to become his disciple!
It should be noted that Maxim had been accepted as a disciple by the Azure Abyss King for a full 30,000 epochs, but his teacher had never said such a thing to him.
He also wanted the opportunity to inherit the divine general's legacy, but King Cangyuan kept saying that his strength was insufficient and his understanding of the laws was inadequate. Even if he had the opportunity to inherit the legacy, it would be a waste. He should focus on building a solid foundation first.
When he desperately pursued something he could not obtain, it was discarded by others like trash, and Maxim completely broke down!
Having finally waited for Lin Yuan to appear in public, he wanted to see what kind of ability the other party had to refuse his teacher.
Why should I fight you?
Just as Maxim was already imagining Lin Yuan kneeling and begging for mercy in his mind, one sentence from the other party completely stunned him.
He simply couldn't understand how the other party could tolerate him when he was already attacking at point-blank range.
Lin Yuan smiled slightly and said softly, "To put it bluntly, you want to crush me with your cultivation level, and you also want me to not say that I was blind after losing, and even avoid you in the future."
But everything is in your favor, and I see no benefit at all. So why should I agree to a spar? Do I look like someone who's out of their mind?
"I understand what you mean, you just want benefits!" Maxim didn't care that the other person was cursing himself for being out of his mind, he only wanted Lin Yuan to agree as soon as possible, and then beat him up.
After a moment's thought, he said in a deep voice, "The stakes are reversed. If I lose, I will shout in the world channel that your teacher, Flame Moon King, is both talented and handsome, and that I will never appear where you are again."
"It's not that simple." Lin Yuan shook his head, then deliberately raised his voice:
"Teacher Yan Yue Wang's talent and good looks are recognized by the entire human race, so why do I need your approval?"
"Besides, you started this mess, and you're stronger than me. It's inherently unfair that the stakes are equal, not to mention that what you're supposed to do if you lose has no punitive meaning whatsoever!"
The dispute between the group had already attracted the attention of many immortal gods, including several powerful kings.
His Highness Lawrence was making preparations and would need a little more time before crossing the Heavenly Bridge. The somewhat bored King-level experts watched this scene with great interest, clearly finding the two little ones' antics amusing.
There were clearly people paying attention near the Flame Moon King as well.
Upon hearing his deliberately made remark, a grandmaster from the Yan Cang lineage smiled and said, "Yan Yue, that kid is your new disciple, isn't he? He seems quite cunning."
"What is Senior Brother Rongtian King saying?" Yan Yue King rolled his eyes dramatically. "Is Lin Yuan wrong? Aren't I both talented and handsome?"
"Hmm?" She looked around at everyone.
Sensing the threat in their gazes, the others subconsciously nodded, "Yes, yes, yes..."
King Rongtian was also sweating profusely. His junior sister had always been rather violent, but as fellow Kings at the limit, he could still discipline her a little. But now that she had become an invincible King, he could only watch as she went further and further down the path of narcissism...
"King Cangyuan, is it?" King Yanyue ignored everyone's reaction.
Her gaze was fixed on Maxim, who was still arguing with Lin Yuan, and she gritted her teeth and muttered to herself, "Letting your disciple come and bully people, I hope you're a bit tougher."
The grandmasters of the Yan Cang lineage all mourned for King Cang Yuan. Being targeted by the Explosive Moon, he was in for a lot of trouble!
Even if some of them knew that King Cangyuan was actually a pretty good person, they wouldn't stand up to stop King Yanyue.
After all, her only disciple was being "bullied," so it was already quite good that she could refrain from personally taking action against the other party. It was only natural that she would seek an explanation from the teacher who was barely on the same level as her afterward.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the scene, Maxim was already very impatient, as Lin Yuan had already rejected several of his proposals.
"Stop!" he interrupted abruptly, then said with a displeased expression, "So what do you want to do?"
"The fish... oh no, the plan, has taken the bait!" Lin Yuan and Diman exchanged a smile.
The two had been exchanging thoughts for a long time. After his teacher's death, Diman finally figured out who could support him in maintaining his current position. Moreover, with King Yanyue around, even if King Cangyuan, Maxim's teacher, came in person, he would have to retreat.
Lin Yuan smiled slyly and casually stated his conditions: "I'm already at a disadvantage, so if you want me to agree, you'll have to show your sincerity."
"Here's the deal: if you pay 1.5 million points, I'll go to the duel arena. If I win, you'll have to pay another 5 million points."
"Six and a half million? Are you out of your mind?!" Maxim's eyes widened. "The entire fortune of an ordinary Marquis-level expert is only about ten million Mixed Yuan Units, and most of that is in fixed assets. You want me to give you six and a half million points just to fight you?"
"You think you'll lose?" Lin Yuan looked at him with a half-smile. "Otherwise, 1.5 million points would be enough. Surely a disciple of the dignified Cangyuan King can't even come up with that much money?"
The net worth of ten million Hunyuan units refers to an ordinary Marquis-level expert, and one who has only recently broken through to that level.
But for someone like Maxim, who is a disciple of a core member of one of the five major powers and has been a Marquis for over a hundred million years, his net worth is definitely over fifty million, or even over a hundred million Chaos Units. These points are just a drop in the ocean for him.
"Brother Lin Yuan is right!" Now that he had made up his mind, Diman would no longer bet on both sides.
Without further hesitation, he joined Lin Yuan in deceiving the dim-witted werewolf immortal in front of him: "The Ancestral God Sect has many treasures, and you must have obtained quite a few opportunities as well. One million five hundred thousand points is not much at all."
Everyone knows that the Cangyuan King's lineage is at most an outer member of the Ancestral God Sect, and they have no share in those core treasures.
But Maxim could not admit it in public; saving face had become a tradition of the Cangyuan King's lineage.
Moreover, if this is said, it means that Cangyuan King's promise in the email to help Lin Yuan obtain the inheritance of the Divine General was a lie, and his legitimate reason for causing trouble will also disappear.
Maxim came here specifically to teach Lin Yuan a lesson and get the teacher to value him more; he didn't come here to be a clown.
Diman continued to tempt him: "Besides, if Brother Lin Yuan loses and admits on the world channel that he was blind, he will undoubtedly offend our teacher, King Yan Yue."
"He's weaker than you, yet he dares to take such a risk. He could earn back those points in millions of years. Does King Cangyuan's disciple really lack such courage?"
"this……"
What the other person said made a lot of sense. After thinking for a long time, Maxim gritted his teeth and said, "Let's do it!"
Lin Yuan and Diman exchanged a glance, both revealing a subtle smile.
"Cough! Cough!"
It was Diman who spoke up: "Then let's apply to the virtual universe for a ruling to put all six million points into a public account."
If Brother Lin Yuan loses, he can only take 1.5 million and he must fulfill your request.
If he wins, not only will all the points be his, but you'll also have to apologize to him in the world chat!
……
"These little guys are really energetic," King Rongtian remarked. "King Cangyuan's disciples are going to be forced to learn a lesson."
Maxim's strength was too low to see it, but in the eyes of these powerful kings, Lin Yuan's divine power was only on par with his, and the gap between them was not as big as he thought.
Moreover, the Flame Moon King's fondness for defeating the strong with the weak is well-known throughout the human race. As her eldest disciple, would Lin Yuan be a good-for-nothing?
"Indeed, to challenge someone without even investigating their opponent is really..."
The Heart-Eating King beside him couldn't help but shake his head: "King Cangyuan is only at the high-level of the King rank, and the secret techniques he created are rather ordinary. He has never even taught a King-level expert. I really don't know why Maxim dares to provoke him like this."
"What's there to guess? They just can't beat others in the Glory World, so they're coming out to find confidence!" King Yanyue's words were a wake-up call for everyone.
The Ancestral God Cult has its own virtual training ground, the World of Glory. Here, you can gain Glory Points by defeating enemies, and you will lose points if you lose.
Glory Points are extremely valuable; 100 points can be exchanged for a chance to inherit the Beast God's legacy. Countless candidates for divine generals and inheritors within the Ancestral God Sect will try every means to obtain Glory Points.
Maxim likely started out brimming with confidence, challenging others, only to find himself lacking the skill and losing all his Glory Points.
He was inspired by the countless geniuses in the vast universe, which is why he wanted to defeat a "genius" to regain his confidence. Otherwise, it would be too abstract to forcefully teach someone a lesson just because he was rejected as a disciple.
"Look everyone!"
While everyone was still watching the excitement, another immortal king called out to the crowd: "His Highness Lawrence has begun. His strength is much greater than when he challenged the level ten years ago. I don't think the eighth level will be too difficult for him."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately turned their attention to Lawrence, who was crossing the skybridge.
After all, compared to this peerless genius who appears only once every ten million epochs, both Maxim and Lin Yuan seem insignificant.
Their arguments are fine to watch for fun, but they're not the main characters today.
