Black Pupil: "Black Pupil."
The cold girl's reply was as indifferent as her personality.
Eighth Princess: "..."
Black Pupil: "What is it?"
Eighth Princess: "No, I just feel like that name doesn't sound like a real name..."
Black Pupil: "Are you foolish enough to reveal your real name?"
Eighth Princess: "Mmph!"
Inside the palace of the Eighth Empire
Nine-year-old Kougyoku Ren flinched, hiding in her blankets in fear.
Ling Yuan couldn't help but freeze when he saw the Eighth Princess's name.
Kougyoku Ren... Isn't this the princess of the Eighth Empire from the world of Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic, the master of the Demon God Baal, and the emperor of the Eighth Empire in the later stages?
He hadn't expected her to be added.
As for the others, they were exactly as he had imagined.
Ling Yuan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw the chat between Black Pupil and Hongyu.
He hadn't expected Black Pupil to do something so mischievous.
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "I roughly understand the situation and am a little interested in this group chat, but!"
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "@Ling Yuan, why should I listen to you?"
Black Pupil: "Indeed, even with other worlds, it means nothing to me. My wish has always been only one!"
I've Leveled Up All My Stats By Farming Monsters: "Eh? Everyone, don't argue, let's enjoy the world happily."
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Enjoy the world? Naive! In this world, power is everything. Only the strong can lead everything. Guys like those in our guild, their thoughts will only stagnate!"
Ling Yuan: "Just a reminder, I never asked you to listen to me."
"..."
The moment Ling Yuan finished speaking, the group chat fell silent.
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "What do you mean? Are you going to give up the group leader position?"
Black Pupil: "?"
Ling Yuan: "No, Laxus, you said earlier that power is everything and only the strong can lead everything, right?"
Laxus's eyes snapped open.
This guy, isn't he from another world? Why does he know his name!
Imperial Assassination Force
Black Pupil, who was biting on a lollipop, also keenly sensed something unusual.
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "That's right! Power is everything. That is the truth I believe in!"
Ling Yuan: "Alright then, let's have a fight."
Ling Yuan: "The group chat just activated a new function, Fantasy Battlefield. Group members can spar with each other inside. No matter what injuries are sustained, they will be healed the moment they exit. If consciousness is lost, they will be forcibly removed from the battlefield, so there's no need to worry."
Looking at Ling Yuan's message, Laxus frowned.
What does this guy... mean?
After knowing my name, he still extends such an invitation. Does he think he can definitely win against me?
But even so, he would not choose to back down.
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Deal! I accept!"
Katarina Claes: "Eh, eh, eh? Why are you doing this? Isn't it better to get along peacefully?"
Katarina looked flustered. She had finally found some people to chat with and analyze the current situation with, and now they were going to have an internal conflict?
I've Leveled Up All My Stats By Farming Monsters: "Exactly, everyone should work together!"
Eighth Princess: "Trembling. JPG"
Ling Yuan: "This is due to the difference in ideology of some people, especially the strong. If they don't have strength that can convince them, they will absolutely not give up, right? Laxus."
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Hmph—!"
He didn't deny it.
Ling Yuan: "A simple fight is too boring. Let's add some stakes, @Lightning Dragon Slayer."
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Oh? What do you want?"
Ling Yuan: "Fairy Law."
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "..."
Laxus's gaze flickered as he looked at the group chat.
This man, what on earth…
No one should know Fairy Law except his grandfather!
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Why do you know about this?"
Ling Yuan: "What if I told you I've seen the development trajectory of your world."
"..."
As soon as he said that, The chat group fell silent.
Black Pupil: "@Ling Yuan, are you saying you can see our world's future?"
Ling Yuan: "In a sense, yes."
Katarina Claes: "@Ling Yuan, Group Leader, what about me? Do I get killed in the end?!"
Monkey King started to fawn.
Ling Yuan: "@Katarina Claes, don't worry, not only do you not die, but you also successfully reverse-conquer all your opponents."
Ling Yuan: "Of course, these are still a bit far off for you. Your most important task right now is to initiate the Round Table Conference."
Katarina Claes: "Huh?"
Monkey King looked completely bewildered.
Reverse-conquer, Round Table Conference.
She understood each word individually, but when they were all put together, she was completely stumped.
At the same time, after a brief moment of thought, Laxus sent a message in the group.
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "I can give you Fairy Law. In return, I want your position as Group Leader, and you must join my ranks and serve me!"
Ling Yuan: "No problem."
The other party's answer was so decisive that Laxus felt extremely uncomfortable.
Was this arrogance? Or did he truly have the strength to defeat him?
Chapter 9: Laxus Dreyar
Inside the room, Ling Yuan, holding Ophis, looked at Laxus's message and extended his hand.
Whoosh
Instantly, a ball of orange-red flame suddenly appeared from Ling Yuan's hand and began to burn.
"The Fantasy Battlefield, where any injury can be healed, is the best practice target for me, who has just mastered my power! Laxus is the perfect opponent!"
"The combat techniques I'm learning now are all initial attack techniques," Ling Yuan murmured.
In this world of the extraordinary, one wouldn't just spend twelve years solely through books.
In addition to the corresponding textbook knowledge, there were also courses in basic combat, expanding internal energy storage, and many other aspects.
Everything was designed so that once students summoned their Contract Beasts, they could exert the beast's power to the maximum in a short period.
Now, Ling Yuan's current body, after twelve years of training, had a certain foundation in combat skills, to say the least.
"Moreover, I don't need to fight him in close combat."
Laxus was a Lightning Dragon Slayer Mage, possessing speed like lightning and destructive power like thunder.
And the speed of lightning was on a completely different level from the speed of flames.
After clarifying his thoughts, Ling Yuan put Ophis into his Engraving and his consciousness re-entered the group chat.
Ling Yuan: "@Lightning Dragon Slayer, are you ready?"
Lightning Dragon Slayer: "Of course, I can't wait!"
[Attention group members, the Fantasy Battlefield is about to begin!]
Large black characters appeared before the group members.
The next second, Ling Yuan and Laxus disappeared from their original world simultaneously.
"Laxus!"
The Thunder Legion members were shocked. Especially Freed, who had already set up his magic circles, was once again unable to detect any magical traces!
When Ling Yuan and Laxus opened their eyes again, the scenery of the world had changed.
A twilight land, rolling clouds, a gentle breeze.
This was a vast plain!
"Hoh? So this is the Fantasy Battlefield? Interesting. I can really let loose here," Laxus said, his voice filled with defiance as he surveyed his surroundings, suppressing the shock he felt.
He became extremely wary of this chat group's bizarre methods.
It could effortlessly penetrate even Freed's shielding magic, proving they had some real power.
Meanwhile, the group members watching the live broadcast got their first look at Ling Yuan and Laxus.
Laxus was a man with short yellow hair, a lightning bolt symbol over his left eye, a purple shirt, and a fur coat draped over his shoulders.
He was the tough, rugged type of man.
On the other hand, Ling Yuan, standing on the opposite side of Laxus, appeared somewhat leaner.
He stood at 1.8 meters tall with a decent build.
His eyebrows were sharp, his eyes bright, his lips red and teeth white, and his facial features were sharply defined.
Aside from being a bit more handsome, from an observer's perspective, it looked like an overwhelming victory for Laxus!
What? You're asking how the group members knew?
Look at the names above their heads.
Laxus looked at Ling Yuan opposite him, shrugged his shoulders, and let his coat fall to the ground.
"Anyone can talk big. Just don't come begging for mercy on your knees later," he said, clenching his fist as arcs of electricity crackled around him.
"Don't worry, I won't disappoint you," Ling Yuan replied. As he spoke, he gently clenched his fist in the air.
Whoosh~
Flames from the surrounding air gathered.
"Fire? What an annoying ability," Laxus clicked his tongue.
It reminded him of a certain someone who talked to himself.
The elements condensed, finally forming a magnificent red and white dress, with knightly armor resembling dragon claws on the shoulders and bracers.
