Apocalypse: Become stronger by absorbing flames at the start; my name is the Flame Emperor.

into the night.

In Lin Yu's room, the void cracked open, and a total of 17 glowing crystal cores fell out.

He looked at the crystal cores and his breathing became rapid.

Although there are only 17, 11 of them exude a very strong aura.

"Fourth-order crystal nucleus".

Lin Yu felt the surging energy contained within it and was somewhat excited.

He bet the vast majority of his fortune this time, and even after the reward doubled, he only managed to convert it into the 17 crystal cores in front of him.

11 fourth-order and 6 third-order.

It's important to know that the energy contained in one fourth-order coin is almost equivalent to the energy of 100 third-order coin.

"With the small amount of crystal cores I looted after destroying the Xie family, I can instantly advance to the fourth tier."

Lin Yu muttered to himself.

The Xie family actually didn't collect many crystal cores, only a few dozen third-order ones and tens of thousands of second-order ones.

Because most of the resources have been bet on.

"However, just break through to the third tier, level ten first. We can break through to the fourth tier after entering the mysterious space during the Hundred Kingdoms War."

If Lin Yu were to break through to the fourth rank now, the rankings would change, and the whole world would know.

That would be meaningless.

He was going to give those foreign powerhouses a surprise at the Hundred Nations Showdown.

Thinking of this, he immediately took out a third-tier crystal core and began to absorb it.

the other side.

Chen Jing'er looked at the pile of crystal cores in front of her, her eyes curving into crescents.

Previously, she had used all of her own stockpile, plus the ones in the black energy system space ring, to place bets. Now that Yongzhou had won, they had all turned into glowing treasures.

More than three hundred third-order crystal cores, after doubling, directly became six fourth-order crystal cores. Those four fourth-order crystal cores became eight, and the two fifth-order crystal cores directly became four fifth-order crystal cores.

"We've struck it rich!"

Chen Jing'er, like a little money-grubber, looked at the glowing crystal cores in front of her, her eyes crinkling into crescents.

"There are four Tier 5 stones, 14 Tier 4 stones, and some Tier 3 stones in total..."

After thinking for a moment, she picked up the crystal core and slipped directly into Lin Yu's room.

"Jing'er, what brings you here?"

"miss you!"

Without saying a word, Chen Jing'er pounced on her.

More than two hours later.

She took out all the crystal cores and handed them to Lin Yu.

"Brother Yu, here are 14 Tier 4 and 4 Tier 5. You can take them all."

"Jing'er, I'm already high enough to upgrade to level four. You can use these yourself." Lin Yu shook his head and didn't take them.

"Take it, or I'll get angry."

Chen Jing'er suddenly put on a stern face.

"Well……"

"Brother Yu, you guys are going to participate in the Hundred Kingdoms War. Great Xia has so many enemies. You should take this and level up a bit more then, so I'll feel at ease. We're not going to participate in the war, so we're not in a hurry to level up."

Chen Jing'er's tone softened, and she looked at Lin Yu with deep affection.

"it is good."

This time, Lin Yu did not refuse and put them all away.

"Do you still have the strength?" Chen Jing'er asked softly.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yu immediately became furious.

Do you even need to ask?

He immediately rolled over and pressed down on her.

-

That night.

The whole world was in turmoil, but the strong of Eternal Day were overjoyed because they had all bet on Eternal Day to win.

Instantly, everyone's strength increased dramatically.

All of these top-tier individuals have reached the peak of the third tier, level ten.

Foreign countries have gained a clearer understanding of the strength of the Great Xia Kingdom through this experience.

The land of cherry blossoms.

In the shrine.

The people in charge all had serious expressions.

An old man looked at the top experts in the hall with a solemn expression: "Gentlemen, you've all seen the battle between the magician and the master. What are your thoughts?"

The people below exchanged glances, unsure of what to say.

The information that came from the Great Xia Kingdom was truly astounding.

"The skills of Master and Magician are a bit too much, especially Magician."

Chizuru's face was grim, but she was still perceptive and had some self-awareness.

"I feel like no one on our side can compete with us."

Although he possesses three S-level talents, none of them have advanced to SS level. He feels he would be brutally killed if he encountered those two.

just.

He was ridiculed as soon as he finished speaking.

"Chizuru, don't boost others' morale while diminishing your own."

Yagyu Juzo smirked and stepped forward, looking at him with a cold smile: "Just because you're not strong enough doesn't mean we're no match for you."

Upon hearing this, many people couldn't help but look over.

Is this guy's head on his butt?

Who gave him the confidence to say such things?

Didn't you see that even the stronger Hashirama and Susanoo are frowning right now?

"hehe--"

Seeing the gazes directed at him, Yagyu Juzo smiled slightly: "I know what you're thinking."

"But I'm telling you, that battle was largely fabricated."

"What do you mean by that?" the old man above asked, intrigued.

"Isn't a magician's most dazzling battle just a single blow that sends a blade flying? What does that prove?" Yagyu Juzo scoffed.

"That Blade is known as the leader of the Ten Saints, so his strength must be extremely strong. Doesn't that prove anything?" Chizuru couldn't help but ask.

"Even if Blade is very strong, what if this is a scheme by the Great Xia Kingdom, making Blade deliberately hold back and lose, in order to establish the image of a powerful magician?"

Yagyu Juzo said calmly, "We've done things like that before, haven't we?"

If the Temple Master heard this, he would probably spit out a mouthful of blood: "What kind of scheme is this? If you're so capable, why don't you try fighting against Eternal Day?"

"That makes some sense."

The old guard stroked his chin and began to think.

Yagyu Juzo is right. This record alone cannot demonstrate a magician's true strength.

The same goes for Master Shi.

If all of this is a scheme by the Great Xia Kingdom, then the information that has been transmitted proves nothing.

"joke!"

"If, as you say, this is a conspiracy by the Great Xia Kingdom, then how do you explain Skywalker's head being severed by the magician with a single stroke?"

Chizuru laughed coldly: "They wouldn't go so far as to destroy a Super S just to establish the strength of magicians, would they?"

"Chizuru, you are so foolish."

Yagyu Juzo scoffed again: "That trash Skywalker, dares to call himself a Super S?"

"You can tell from the fact that his arm was easily cut off by a little girl that his strength is not worthy of being a Super S."

"That's right."

At this time.

The old man above spoke up: "According to previous intelligence, this Skywalker was only an S-rank, but later, I don't know what method he used, but he entered the Super S rank in just a few days."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Hashirama and Susanoo: "What are you two thinking?"

These two are the ones who publicly challenged the Magician and the Master to a duel on the world forum.

The whole world will be watching then.

Their victory is crucial to the prestige of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom.

"I, Hashirama, am no less than anyone else."

"Master, you deserve to be executed!"

Hashirama spoke slowly, his tone revealing strong confidence.

He had been a little worried before, but after Yagyu Juzo's analysis, he suddenly realized that it made sense.

Little did he know that Yagyu Juzo's idea would lead the entire Sakura Country into utter ruin.

"Susanoo, and you?"

"I'll follow the president's arrangements."

Susanoo was different; he sensed that things weren't that simple.

"Very good. This time, we have united with the other seven countries. We only need to take down the magician and the master. Let others wear down the other powerful figures of Great Xia."

The old man nodded.

After everyone left.

The people in power then started discussing it again.

"No matter what, our Sakura nation cannot lose; we must win the championship."

"We can't be careless about this. We can't really know how strong the magician and the master are, since we weren't there in person and we can't see many things from the video footage."

"What if all those speculations were wrong?"

An elderly man raised a question, silencing everyone for a moment.

"Let's do this, just to be on the safe side. Once we find their location, let someone else test the waters first. If they're not strong enough, then let Hashirama and Susanoo go up and kill them fair and square."

"If their strength is indeed formidable, then let's unite with other powerful individuals and surround and kill them!"

A cold glint flashed in the eyes of one of the old men, and a murderous aura surged within him.

"If that's the case, won't people say that our Sakura Country doesn't dare to fight head-on? After all, besieging is not a glorious thing." Someone frowned.

"This is simple. When you surround and kill them, Susanoo and Hashirama should not participate in the battle. We should also not have too many of our Sakura Country's strongmen. We should bring in strongmen from other countries."

"Then we'll say that the two magicians were unlucky and died before they even met Susanoo."

"That's a great idea!"

Immediately, everyone's eyes lit up.
