Everyone can come at me together.

There were tens of thousands of Realm Lord-level geniuses present. Even ordinary Immortals would have to think twice before facing them.

What confidence. What arrogant words.

The area before the City Lord's Mansion instantly fell silent. All the Tiwala Tribe geniuses flushed red, feeling that they had suffered immense humiliation.

How could Zhou Lin not know what they were thinking?

They wanted to use him to make a name for themselves. After defeating him, they could even give a Realm Lord-level monster a legitimate reason to challenge him. How could Zhou Lin possibly follow their script?

"Arrogant! I'll fight you alone!" The speaker was Xu Ling, the strongest Domain Lord of the Tiwala Tribe. His Law comprehension was roughly comparable to the eleventh level of the Tongtian Bridge.

His face flushed red. He had truly been provoked by Zhou Lin.

Zhou Lin stood alone before the residence, looking down upon everything with domineering confidence. Tens of thousands of geniuses had gathered in the square before him, but he himself seemed like an entire army. He showed not the slightest trace of stage fright.

"You? You're not enough." Zhou Lin's tone was calm, as if he were stating something utterly ordinary. "Haven't you been surrounding this place for so long just for this? I'm giving you all a chance. Come at me together."

So what if he made the situation bigger? He had the human race behind him, and he was Palace Master Tianshi's sole disciple. He had the confidence to do so.

"Arrogant!"

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, Ximo slammed his palm against the table in fury, instantly crushing the blue bamboo table before him into powder. His face was livid as he stared ahead.

It was not just Ximo. Quite a few King Immortals of the Tiwala Tribe were watching the situation, and every one of them was seething.

"Now, at the city's battle arena, I'll fight you alone." Xu Ling still remembered his mission clearly: after he lost, the tribe's Realm Lord-level geniuses would have a reason to step forward.

It was not unheard of. If a Realm Lord and a Domain Lord wanted to spar, they could seal their internal energy and compete solely in Laws.

How could Xu Ling not know Zhou Lin's Law comprehension?

"There is no need for someone like you to go to the battle arena." Zhou Lin's figure remained where it was, but ripples began to spread through space.

Xu Ling felt every hair on his body stand on end. He continuously scanned his surroundings, but soon discovered that an arm had appeared around his shoulder.

"An Illusory Body?!" Xu Ling was certain that he had not sensed anything at all.

In such a short time, his opponent had actually used an Illusory Body to approach him. If he had harbored killing intent, the consequences were easy to imagine.

There was a hurdle every three levels of the Tongtian Bridge. Zhou Lin's pure Law comprehension was currently around the thirteenth level, far beyond what someone at Xu Ling's level could compare with.

Even without using the might of either system, he was more than capable of crushing any Domain Lord of this generation.

Dual systems were also perfectly viable in the Chaotic Void. Dong Bo Xue Ying, for example, cultivated both Rule Profundity and the Void Walker system, which provided an enormous boost to his strength.

"Any other questions?"

In fact, having reached this point, Zhou Lin had already fulfilled his task sufficiently. But that did not meet the expectations the race had for him.

They were nurturing him as someone who would join the leadership.

As a result, the missions Zhou Lin accepted were fundamentally different from those of the other Primal Secret Realm Domain Lords. Kedi was the same.

The missions of the two were more complicated, and the requirements were higher.

Whoosh!

Ximo's figure appeared before the City Lord's Mansion. No emotion could be seen on his face as he said indifferently, "Can you disperse now?"

They had lost all face. According to their plans, the result should at least have come after they went to the battle arena.

The strongest genius Domain Lord of their tribe had failed to last even half a second against Zhou Lin.

"Your Highness Zhou Lin." Ximo transmitted, "Those youngsters know your strength. Now that you've defeated Xu Ling, the Realm Lord-level geniuses should be unable to sit still."

There was no bullying of the weak if a Realm Lord-level genius challenged Zhou Lin.

After all, they could seal part of their strength, allowing both sides to spar solely in Laws.

As one of the strongest supreme geniuses in the history of the human race, it was only natural for even Realm Lords who had cultivated for tens of thousands or a hundred thousand years to challenge him.

When Bolan was at the Stellar level, his Law comprehension had already been enough to sweep aside those so-called Cosmic-level geniuses.

Kedi went without saying. Zhou Lin had relied on a loophole in true intent when he broke through the Primal Tongtian Mountain, but Kedi had genuinely relied entirely on his Laws.

At the Cosmic level, he was comparable to the twelfth level of the Tongtian Bridge.

At the Domain Lord level, he had reached the sixteenth level. Such monstrous talent had even surpassed Luo Feng's at the same stage.

Even during the Realm Lord period, Luo Feng's early Law comprehension had been inferior to Kedi's.

"If any Realm Lords want to challenge me, they're welcome to."

Zhou Lin smiled. "City Lord Ximo, not long ago, Kedi, who participated in the same Genius Battle as me, broke through the Domain Lord-level Primal Tongtian Mountain."

"Very good, very good." Ximo smiled stiffly, thinking, Could it be that you also possess the strength to break through the Domain Lord-level Primal Tongtian Mountain?

Kedi and Zhou Lin—both of their reputations had long since spread far and wide.

On the Alien Assassination Ranking, the two of them were ranked first and second respectively, already far surpassing the Realm Lords of the Primal Secret Realm.

"If this brat can reach the sixteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge, Bai Bo might really be unable to defeat him."

Ximo had begun to feel some aversion toward Zhou Lin.

From their perspective, although the Tiwala Tribe had become a subsidiary race of humanity, it had worked diligently all these years.

Zhou Lin could have come without making a fuss, yet he had insisted on making the situation so grand, trampling the dignity of the Tiwala Tribe's younger generation into the dirt.

"A weak race is, by nature, a weak race." Zhou Lin now deeply understood the importance of strength in the universe.

The Hong Alliance had so many subsidiary races. Among those races that possessed Universe Masters, human geniuses often went to spar with them.

Victory and defeat were both commonplace.

When they won, no one would keep praising them excessively.

When they lost, they naturally would not become overly discouraged.

The Tiwala Tribe, or the Golden Horn Tribe in later generations, was different. They cared far too much about winning and losing, ultimately causing dissatisfaction among humanity's higher-ups.

At least the Golden Horn Tribe had no problems with its attitude in other respects.

When they needed to be disciplined, they had to be disciplined. That was the way a Peak Race governed its subordinate races.

"Is anyone else coming to challenge me?" Zhou Lin's voice suddenly rose to a thunderous pitch. "Domain Lords and Realm Lords are all welcome!"

Silence descended. Countless heroes stood before the residence, yet not a single person dared respond. The scene of Zhou Lin sweeping aside Xu Ling moments ago had been too shocking.

"I won't ask you to restrict your strength. I'll fight any of you freely as a Domain Lord!"

Zhou Lin shouted once more.

[Host Reputation +201] [Host Reputation +107]

At this moment, even some of the aliens had begun to admire him.

"Is Your Highness Bai Bo here?!"

"Your Highness Bai Bo is here. Does he still dare to be this arrogant?"

Several thousand meters away, the crowd suddenly parted. An incomparably dazzling figure slowly walked out.

He wore a purple-gold robe, and the crown atop his head shimmered with a pale golden radiance. His aura was terrifying, displaying a might utterly unlike that of a Realm Lord.

"Human genius, Your Highness Zhou Lin." Bai Bo spoke, his voice filled with boundless majesty. "I will seal my strength at the Domain Lord Ninth Stage. Can I fight you at the same level?"

A genius monster of this caliber possessed Law comprehension comparable to a Marquis Immortal, or even barely a King Immortal. His strength was entirely sufficient to fight Aido head-on.

Zhou Lin finally became serious as well. The intelligence he had received before coming here said that the strongest genius of this tribe had Law comprehension of roughly the fifteenth level of the Tongtian Bridge.
