A Warning, A Conversation with Lin Lei

Hearing Lin Lei's words, Lei Lin fell silent: "..."

"Sigh~, it seems all my words were in vain. It appears you still have some misconceptions about your own strength!"

"Lin Lei, tell me, do you think that as long as you don't run into a Saint Realm powerhouse from the Radiant Church..."

"No matter who it is, they can't do anything to you?"

Lin Lei nodded. With his Rank 9 strength after transforming, combined with his coordination with Beibei, he was confident he could handle any enemy below the Saint Realm.

Even if he couldn't win, he could at least run away.

Plus, with Delin acting as a Saint Realm radar, he could just hide whenever he encountered a Saint Realm expert. He felt his plan to dismantle the Radiant Church step by step was quite feasible.

Lei Lin: "Sigh~, come with me!"

One hour later.

In an unnamed mountain range outside Hess City, Lin Lei was panting on the ground like a dying dog.

He was drenched in blood, with thin but fatal wounds covering his entire body. One of his legs had even been broken, putting an end to his plans of continuing to put up a fight!

"Have you recognized the reality of the situation?"

When he had just broken through to Rank 8, Lei Lin already possessed the combat power of a peak Rank 9.

Now, more than a year later, Lei Lin's cultivation had steadily improved, and his strength had grown rapidly in every aspect!

Even with Lin Lei's Rank 9 combat power after transforming, he could easily suppress him!

Beibei: "Squeak squeak~ (Boss, are you okay?)"

"Squeak squeak~ (Let's just admit defeat. Brother Lei Lin is too much of a monster; I can't even keep up with him~)"

Lin Lei gasped for air, his eyes glancing toward Delin at the side as he communicated mentally: "Grandpa Delin, what exactly is going on here?"

"Brother Lei Lin..."

"Could it be that he is already a Saint Realm powerhouse!?"

Delin looked at Lin Lei with a solemn expression: "No, Lei Lin is still only..."

"Rank 8!"

Lin Lei's eyes widened: "This is Rank 8?!"

"Then what about Clyde and Kaisa? Do they even count as Rank 9 anymore?!"

Delin sighed with emotion: "Lin Lei, don't be confused. After all, people are different from one another!"

"Take you, for example. You are actually only Rank 7 right now, aren't you?"

"You, a Rank 7, losing to a Rank 8—isn't that perfectly normal..."

Lin Lei: "But I transformed! I trans..."

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration crossed Lin Lei's mind. He looked at Lei Lin and said: "Brother Lei Lin, could it be that you are also an Ultimate Warrior?"

"You are so fast, are you a Tiger-Striped Warrior?!"

"No wonder, no wonder you've always been so good to me. So it turns out we are both..."

Lei Lin: "???"

"So, should I have the surname Baruch?"

Lin Lei paused at these words and continued: "Could it be that a woman from the Baruch family married into your Zi'ao Family, and therefore..."

Lei Lin flashed in front of Lin Lei and flicked him on the forehead: "Don't be silly, I'm just an ordinary person!"

He walked over to Lin Lei and began to use his electrotherapy technique to repair Lin Lei's injuries: "Do you understand now?"

"Do you still think that with your current strength, you are qualified to go head-to-head with the Radiant Church?"

"I'll remind you, there are experts within the Radiant Church whose strength is no less than mine."

"Furthermore, the Radiant Church also has Angel..."

Before Lei Lin could finish, Lin Lei, whose injuries had already healed significantly, retorted: "That's impossible. If you, Brother Lei Lin, are just an ordinary person, then why, even after I transformed, am I completely unable to compete with you?"

"I am a Rank 9 warrior after transforming! I've fought with veteran Rank 9 powerhouses like Clyde and Kaisa before, and I was able to trade blows with them!"

The electric light on Lei Lin's hands intensified, and combined with the natural healing power of a Dragonblood Warrior, Lin Lei's wounds healed rapidly, and his broken leg quickly snapped back into place and recovered.

He continued: "You say that as if Clyde and Kaisa have the qualifications to be compared to me?"

"Lin Lei, have you forgotten that I still hold the title of the greatest genius in the history of the continent?"

Lin Lei: "..."

"But wasn't that title meant for mages? No matter how famous a Rank 7 mage is, they shouldn't be a match for a Rank 9 warrior, right?!"

Lin Lei said this with complete sincerity. Ever since he awakened as a Dragonblood Warrior, magic had shifted from his primary means of attack to a secondary, auxiliary tool.

Lei Lin shook his head: "Hmm, the difference between warriors and mages is vast before the Saint Realm, but once you reach the Saint Realm, you will find that both paths lead to the same destination!"

"I can suppress you with Rank 8 strength and disregard veteran Rank 9 powerhouses like Clyde and Kaisa simply because I am already walking the path that lies ahead."

"The only reason I haven't reached the Saint Realm yet is simply because my accumulation isn't enough!"

Lin Lei fell silent: "..., is this normal?"

As he spoke, he couldn't help but glance at Delin beside him.

Delin: "Don't look at me, ask Lei Lin."

"I can't answer that kind of question!"

Lei Lin couldn't see Delin, but he sighed with emotion: "There's no such thing as normal or abnormal. As long as your talent is good enough, you can start walking the path of comprehending the profound mysteries of the Laws even before reaching the Saint Realm."

"It's nothing special!"

"In the future, you should be able to do it too."

"After all, compared to me, you have super-grade elemental affinity!"

Lin Lei: "..., o((⊙﹏⊙))o"

He didn't even know what the profound mysteries of the Laws were!

Lei Lin: "Do you understand why I don't support you starting your revenge now?"

"Because you..."

"Are too weak!"

"Facing the Radiant Church, you don't even have the strength to protect yourself!"

Hearing this, Lin Lei's expression became conflicted.

His parents both died at the hands of the Radiant Church, and he truly couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart.

But he wasn't stupid; he wouldn't insist on throwing an egg against a rock.

"Brother Lei Lin, I have a question."

Lei Lin looked at him and said: "Speak!"

"Why help me?" Lin Lei's expression grew increasingly conflicted.

"You are also a member of the Radiant Church, so why help me? Especially when, compared to me, you know the power of the Radiant Church even better!"

Lei Lin smiled slightly, a very warm smile, and shrugged: "Because you are my friend!"

"It's hard to find a friend you get along with!"

Lin Lei was somewhat dumbfounded, asking in confusion: "Just because of that?"

"The Radiant Church has so many Saint Realm experts..."

Lei Lin shook his head: "It doesn't matter. Once I become a god, no amount of Saint Realm experts will matter!"

Lin Lei's brow twitched, and he said bitterly: "Become a god?!"

He didn't know how to continue communicating with Lei Lin. He wasn't even in the Saint Realm yet, and he was already thinking about becoming a god!

Wasn't that thinking a bit too far ahead?

Lei Lin nodded: "Mm, become a god. Once I become a god, I will destroy the Radiant Church, and the Dark Church as well."

Lin Lei felt increasingly speechless: "..., why?"

As a member of the Radiant Church, he could understand why Lei Lin was willing to help him, as their relationship was truly very good.

But why, upon becoming a god, would he want to destroy the Radiant Church, and the Dark Church too?

Lei Lin laughed: "Is it that strange?"
