Chapter 539: Selecting the Strong from the Not-So-Strong
Lin Moyu’s words were calm, but full of killing intent.
The VIP area suddenly went quiet, with several pairs of eyes focused on Lin Moyu.
They understood clearly why Lin Moyu said this.
The relationship between Ning Tairan’s granddaughter and Lin Moyu was no secret.
Ye Hao speaking like that was not giving face to Lin Moyu. In other words, he was also slapping Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan in the face.
Lin Moyu’s counterattack was naturally very sharp, with killing intent in his words.
Ye Hao narrowed his eyes, "Divine General Lin, what do you mean by that?"
Lin Moyu said softly, "I mean exactly what I said. Let me put it another way - who is your great-grandson? Have him come out, I’ll kill him!"
This was even more direct.
"Divine General Lin, you’re being a bit overbearing." Ye Hao sneered repeatedly, "That’s very dangerous of you."
Behind him, Wang Lin and the other two stared at Lin Moyu with unfriendly gazes.
Lin Moyu wasn’t afraid at all. Not to mention he had Bai Yiyuan, Meng Anwen and their faction behind him.
Even if he was alone, if he was willing to pay the price, he wouldn’t fear them.
Lin Moyu returned a cold smile, no longer paying attention to him, but said to Meng Anwen, "Teacher, please investigate who his great-grandson is."
Meng Anwen chuckled, "Alright, that’s not difficult. No matter how deeply hidden, I can dig him out."
Ye Hao’s face changed immediately. He didn’t expect Lin Moyu to be serious.
He had originally just wanted to annoy Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen, and give Lin Moyu a warning in passing.
After all, in his eyes, no matter how impressive Lin Moyu was, he was still just a junior.
Although this junior was now very famous and had even reached three-star Divine General.
But Ye Hao was doubtful of his true combat power and hadn’t taken Lin Moyu too seriously.
But Lin Moyu’s current behavior made him feel troubled. He felt like he was in a dilemma.
Ye Hao’s eyes flashed with a cold light as he stared at Lin Moyu.
He did have a great-grandson, but not many people knew.
His great-grandson was indeed a genius, but compared to Lin Moyu, the gap was huge.
If Lin Moyu really held a grudge against his great-grandson, it would be very troublesome.
A murderous intent flashed in his heart. At this moment, he had the impulse to kill Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu keenly sensed his killing intent and inwardly sneered even more.
There were many people who wanted to kill him. The Demon Kings of the Abyss, the Dragon Kings of the dragon race, which one didn’t want to kill him?
Even the Demon Emperor in the Abyss and the Dragon Emperor of the dragon race also wished to kill him.
But he was still alive and well.
The atmosphere became tense at this moment.
Ye Hao didn’t know he had touched one of Lin Moyu’s reverse scales, which caused such a big reaction from Lin Moyu.
Hum!
Intense energy fluctuations came over as the dungeon jumped out from hidden space.
The God Stone dungeon was fully formed and could be entered at any time.
The movement of the God Stone dungeon also interrupted the confrontational atmosphere between the two sides. Ye Hao squeezed out a dry laugh on his old face, "I was just joking. Divine General Lin, please don’t take offense."
Lin Moyu looked at him without speaking.
Ye Hao was old and thick-skinned, acting as if nothing had happened, "The God Stone dungeon has opened. Let’s all enjoy the performance of the young talents."
Meng Anwen said softly to Lin Moyu, "Let it go."
Lin Moyu made a sound of agreement, "I know."
Lin Moyu of course knew he couldn’t really fight with Ye Hao.
Both sides represented their own factions. If a real collision occurred, it wouldn’t be good for the Divine Summer Empire.
Moreover, Meng Anwen still needed to set up formations all over the country, and some areas would involve Ye Hao’s faction’s territory.
If things really became irreconcilable, there wouldn’t be much benefit.
The reason Lin Moyu behaved like this was also to give the other side a warning, telling them he wasn’t easy to bully.
Now that the goal had been achieved, Lin Moyu wouldn’t push it all the way.
The confrontation between the two sides ended with Ye Hao backing down. It seemed Lin Moyu’s side had gained the upper hand.
Although Ye Hao had given himself a way out, his expression naturally wouldn’t look good.
In any case, the atmosphere finally eased, and the God Stone Conference officially began.
Above the dungeon, the formation projected a total of 100 images.
Each time 100 people entered the dungeon, and each person was shown in turn in the images.
Everything they experienced in the dungeon, the various choices they made when encountering situations, would be reflected in the images.
The scores on the images would also change as they continued to advance.
The higher the score, the better their performance.
The first batch of career holders were teleported into the dungeon in turn, beginning their dungeon journey.
The god-level expert from the military who had summoned the dungeon earlier now stood in front of it, beginning to explain.
"10 points can be obtained for passing each level."
"Passing the ninth level can obtain half a Talent God Stone."
"As for the tenth level, so far no one has cleared it."
"Hopefully this year, someone can pass the tenth level."
Actually, various major families already had information about the God Stone dungeon.
Even if he didn’t explain, everyone understood.
Lin Moyu saw the first level through the images.
The people entering the dungeon had different levels and careers, but the first level was largely similar for everyone.
In front of everyone was a high mountain.
The mountain was about 20-30 meters high, pressing down like dark clouds covering the sky.
Then, many black dots flew out from the mountain, whistling towards the career holders.
These black dots had varying speeds, adjusted according to the level and career of the career holders in the dungeon.
Even for those at level 50, the black dots facing mage-type career holders were much slower than those facing other career holders.
"Very fair!" Lin Moyu knew what the first level was testing with just a glance.
The first level tested reaction speed - how to avoid these black dots was the key to the test.
The black dots looked numerous, but they all left enough gaps.
No matter which career holder, as long as they weren’t too incompetent, they could easily pass the first level test.
Everyone’s face showed no panic. They clearly already knew the specific content of the test.
Facing the black dots flying over in droves, they not only didn’t retreat, but ran towards the black dots.
They displayed agile movements, weaving back and forth between the black dots.
Lin Moyu lost interest after watching for a while. This first level had no difficulty to speak of.
Sure enough, after just one minute, everyone successfully passed the first level.
The numbers on each image changed simultaneously, from 0 points to 10 points.
Soon, the second level began.
The test in the second level changed from reaction to strength.
There was a large stone in front of everyone. No matter what method was used, as long as they could shatter the stone, they would pass the level.
The higher the level of the career holder, the larger the volume of the stone they faced, and the more solid the stone would be.
This level also couldn’t stump any of the career holders.
Those who could be selected to participate in the God Stone dungeon were not weak.
Under the gaze of thousands of eyes, if they couldn’t even pass the second level, not only would they lose face, but their families would lose face too.
"The first level was reaction, the second was strength, so what’s the third level?"
In Lin Moyu’s speculation, everyone passed the second level test one after another, with almost no difference in order.
For them, the second level really had no difficulty at all. The scores all reached 20 points.
The third level began. A huge white tiger appeared in front of everyone.
Fierce winds howled around the white tiger’s body, clearly displaying its attribute.
Wind attribute white tiger!
The white tiger faced by each person was at the same level as themselves, still very fair.
After the white tiger appeared, the great battle began.
The wind attribute white tiger possessed both amazing speed and considerable strength.
It caused no small trouble for everyone in the dungeon.
Lin Moyu frowned slightly, "The first level was reaction, which is speed."
"The second level was strength."
"The third level directly enters actual combat. The white tiger has both considerable speed and strength, corresponding perfectly to the previous two levels."
"The first two levels were passive tests, this level has become an active test."
Meng Anwen said softly, "From this level on, people will start to be eliminated!"
Lin Moyu was a bit puzzled, "This white tiger looks powerful, but it’s actually just slightly above the level of ordinary elite monsters, even weaker than ordinary monsters in hell-difficulty dungeons."
He didn’t understand how they could fail to defeat such a weak monster.
"This is normal." Bai Yiyuan’s voice sounded from the side.
Bai Yiyuan and Zhu Qingliu walked over, standing shoulder to shoulder beside Lin Moyu.
Bai Yiyuan said in a low voice, "Not every career holder can have combat power like yours."
"Most career holders, before enlightenment, actually have less combat power than those small monsters in hell-difficulty dungeons."
"Why do we humans form teams? It’s because humans are not strong."
"Yet we need to select strong individuals from a not-so-strong race."
"Isn’t it contradictory?"
Lin Moyu pondered Bai Yiyuan’s words, "Selecting strong individuals from a not-so-strong race."
This seemed contradictory, but it also matched Antares’ theory.
Better to have one god-level expert than 100 level 89s.
Any race needs truly top-tier strong individuals.
And the God Stone dungeon seemed to be selecting strong individuals.
