Youth Who Slays Dragons and the Evil Dragon

Lin Xuan put on a high-and-mighty air, as if victory was assured and he wasn't worried about Zhang Guangmu making a comeback.

"After you kill me, you'll truly become the Fort Master of Wolf Fortress."

"What will you do then?"

Hearing Zhang Guangmu's words, Lin Xuan froze.

This was the last question he expected.

What would he do after becoming the Fort Master?

Wasn't that a completely pointless question?

What else could one do after becoming the Fort Master?

Consolidate power, enjoy life, those who obey will prosper, those who defy will perish!

Although it was said that Wolf Fortress was surrounded by enemies and many hostile forces were eyeing it covetously, as long as the foundation was solidified and everyone was wary of each other, they probably wouldn't truly fight.

However, Lin Xuan noticed that many Wolf Riders present were focusing their gazes on him, seemingly very interested in his answer.

He pondered for a moment, then declared righteously, "Naturally, I will return everything to its proper course and restore the glory of Wolf Fortress!"

While it sounded like empty rhetoric, it was essentially an implicit promise.

The so-called restoration of glory and return to the proper course hid the meaning of strictly limiting the leakage of Flame Artifacts and ensuring the class interests of the Wolf Riders.

Hearing this, Zhang Guangmu smiled.

This method of inciting class struggle, though quite immature, did have a hint of a superior's demeanor.

Initially, Zhang Guangmu had heard from the audience that Yang Chi, the actor playing the protagonist Lin Xuan, had experienced a character breakdown, but he hadn't paid much attention.

After all, popularity breeds controversy, and tastes vary. Even people who once liked an actor might quietly unfollow them over time and with age, no longer enjoying their old style and developing new tastes, becoming fans of others.

Now, it seemed those people were indeed correct.

Yang Chi's Character Setting and subconscious mind were indeed in great conflict.

Before participating in "Wolf Fortress," this person's acting path had always been stable. His style and Character Setting of a Hot-blooded youth defying fate and rising to success had garnered him many fans. Many people liked that spirit of refusing to bow to fate and wanting to control their own destiny, finding it inspiring.

Some people watched Yang Chi's plays as if they were drinking chicken soup for the soul, immersing themselves in it and fantasizing about their own rise to success, soaring through the ranks, and becoming someone superior to others.

But...

People change.

Yang Chi had been in the industry for over a year, approaching two years. Although he hadn't broken into the Seven Stars Club, nor had he made a name for himself in the national event "The Path of the Great Emperor," he had already achieved success compared to the vast majority of Subconscious Actors.

So he began to pursue some "higher-level" things.

Such as higher social status and more power.

That's why the Plot Protagonist Lin Xuan gives the Audience such a strange feeling!

It should have been a commercial revenge fantasy drama of a Hot-blooded youth being suppressed and scorned, but as it progressed, it vaguely gave people the feeling of a Dragon Slayer turning into an evil dragon.

No!

Strictly speaking, the Dragon Slayer wasn't the Young Fortress Lord Lin Xuan, but the Vice Fortress Lord "Tian Guang".

From the very beginning, Lin Xuan was the beneficiary, a member of the ruling class.

During the entire progression of the plot, he unhesitatingly rejected all the rich character settings the Production Team had arranged for him.

He never showed the slightest bit of kindness, pity, or sympathy to the common people of Wolf Fortress, taking his superior treatment for granted, considering himself Someone superior to others, betraying allies, using his subordinates as expendables, and bullying commoners at will. Even the Script Hint couldn't steer him back.

How could this Young Fortress Lord be like a Hot-blooded youth who got a revenge script?

From the very beginning, he was clearly on the opposite side of the people!

Yang Chi himself surely didn't notice the subtle changes in his own Subconscious. Otherwise, he would most likely not have accepted the role of Lin Xuan. Instead, he might have actively tried to change his acting path like Chu Fan, choosing self-breakthrough and attempting to play the Big Villain.

Looking at Lin Xuan, played by Yang Chi, Zhang Guangmu couldn't help but feel emotional.

The story of a dragon-slaying warrior turning into a dragon is not uncommon in any era, and Yang Chi is just one of them, not even representative.

Now, looking at the Plot Protagonist Lin Xuan played by Yang Chi, with that arrogant posture of Someone superior to others, Zhang Guangmu even wanted to offer some hindsight, saying that his recent photos posted online showed him dressed as a successful elite in suits, giving the impression of a mini Chu Fan.

To be honest, although Zhang Guangmu couldn't say why, he felt Chu Fan was a little better than Yang Chi.

"I have answered your question."

Lin Xuan raised his sword-like eyebrows and looked down at Zhang Guangmu. "Now, you can die with peace of mind."

Saying that, he suddenly waved his hand.

"Eliminate them!"

Zhang Guangmu grinned lazily, while the Wolf Riders beside him began to roar desperately.

"Don't attack! Everyone in our Wolf Fortress is poisoned! Only the Vice Fortress Lord has the antidote!"

"I'm really not lying! Everything I'm saying is true! The poison we have is called the Ten-Day Death Potion, and it was developed by the Vice Fortress Lord!"

"Yes! This poison is colorless and odorless, and you will definitely die on the tenth day after taking it!"

"Right! Most importantly, the antidote hasn't been finalized yet. Only Vice Fortress Lord Tian Guang knows how to prepare the antidote!"

"Everyone, don't be rash! Stop! I'm talking to you! What the hell! Still moving! If you kill us, you'll all be buried with us!"

These people might not have genuinely wanted to stand on Zhang Guangmu's side and die for him. If their alliance was purely based on self-interest, faced with being surrounded and in an absolutely disadvantageous position, they might have immediately knelt and begged for mercy.

But now, they had no choice but to support Zhang Guangmu.

At the very least, until they received the antidote, they absolutely did not want this young vice fortress lord to die easily!

Their eyes were bloodshot, veins bulging on their foreheads.

Sweat beaded on their brows as they roared at the top of their lungs.

Driven by a powerful will to survive, this group let out extremely high-decibel shouts. Combined, they indeed sounded quite imposing, momentarily stunning the Wolf Riders under Lin Xuan.

This brief moment allowed the vast majority to barely grasp what they were trying to convey.

And so...

The people under Young Fortress Lord Lin Xuan found themselves in a dilemma, most with complex expressions, unsure of what to do.

After all, it was better to be safe than sorry.

Poisoning everyone in Wolf Fortress with a delayed-action poison? Did they think poison was like a mechanism that could be timed?

The idea sounded ridiculous. A normal person would instinctively disbelieve it.

But...

What if it was true?

Vice Fortress Lord Tian Guang was originally an orphan with no parents. Even after passing the Water Prison Trial, he was just a Wolf Rider without a name. His greatest achievement in life might have been to become a Death Warrior in the shadow of the Fortress Master.

Yet, this person had risen at lightning speed in an extremely short period. Not only did he invent the Flame Artifact, but he also gained the recognition of Fortress Master Lin Yan, soaring to become the Vice Fortress Lord of Wolf Fortress, adorned with countless honors.

Such a young prodigy was supposed to exist only in storytellers' tales, but the young Vice Fortress Lord "Tian Guang" had appeared before everyone in the flesh.

The capable could do anything!

The strong always remained strong!

Deep within the human genome lay a hidden reverence for the strong. When someone easily accomplished what one could never achieve in a lifetime of struggle, that person would naturally be deified in one's heart!

Therefore...

Others creating the Ten-Day Death Potion and poisoning everyone in Wolf Fortress? Unacceptable!

Vice Fortress Lord Tian Guang doing the same thing? Acceptable!

Considering this point...

Whether others die or not is irrelevant; one's own life is the most precious thing!

"Poison?"

Lin Xuan's eyes flickered, a hint of suspicion appearing on his face.

If one person said this, he would dismiss it as nonsense, too lazy to even listen.

After all, some people were born wearing multiple masks, adept at using words, expressions, and body language to successfully deceive others.

Like the Young Vice Fortress Lord, Tian Guang, he was clearly such a person.

After their last meeting on the street, Lin Xuan had been deeply impressed by the phrase "Do not bully a young man for being poor," often recalling and pondering it in his heart, trying to grasp its essence.

But...

Now, so many people were saying the same thing. They couldn't all be natural deceivers, could they?

Their expressions, their eyes, their emotions...

Lin Xuan couldn't find any flaws, and he became somewhat indecisive.

The next moment, his gaze focused on Vice Fortress Lord Tian Guang, and he suddenly remembered that not long ago, when this fellow had just taken office, he had distributed grain for free to everyone in Wolf Fortress...

He had initially thought it was to win people's hearts, but he hadn't expected the other party to have been planning this far ahead!

At such a young age, to be so ruthless!

What a cold, cruel nature this was!

Seeing Zhang Guangmu's calm and composed demeanor, Lin Xuan panicked and could no longer maintain his pretense.

Because...

Although he was the Young Fortress Lord, he was still flesh and blood, not a celestial being living in the heavens. He also needed to eat and drink.

Before today, he had considered the possibility of being assassinated and had arranged for many personal guards around him.

Unfortunately, Lin Xuan had not considered poisoning.

They hadn't completely fallen out before this. Who would have thought that a newly appointed Young Vice Fortress Lord would go to such extremes?

Sensing Zhang Guangmu's unconcerned attitude, Lin Xuan concluded that he had most likely been poisoned with the so-called "Ten-Day Death Potion."

Otherwise, the other party wouldn't be acting like this!

Lin Xuan gritted his teeth, making a cracking sound, wishing he could devour the other's flesh and blood. His tone revealed a hint of ferocity, "Hand over the formula for the antidote, and I can spare your life!"

Hearing this, Zhang Guangmu burst into laughter.

The laughter was filled with unrestrained joy, exuding a sense of fearlessness and utter abandon!

Today is also six thousand words!

Hmm?
