"Li Le!"
Hearing the voice, Lin Ke immediately narrowed his eyes.
Zhang Zhihua and the others swiftly abandoned their opponents and retreated, all falling back behind Li Le.
Spirit power surged around Li Le, and an enormous phantom scorpion tail loomed behind him. Clearly, it belonged to the Ape-Arm Scorpion born through moisture and egg transformation.
"You advanced?" Lin Ke answered Li Le calmly. "Advancing won't change your nature."
"Only beasts think about mating all the time, letting the head below control the head above. I truly pity you. How pathetic."
"What a sharp-tongued little bastard." Li Le snorted, turned his hand over, and produced a porcelain bottle. Using his mental power, he drew out five Crimson Cultivation Pills and floated them before the people around him.
"Thank you, Junior Brother Li!"
Zhang Zhihua and the others immediately brightened, taking the pills and swallowing them.
"Follow me, and you'll never lack resources in the future." Although Li Le addressed Zhang Zhihua and the others, his gaze remained fixed on Lin Ke, the corners of his mouth curling upward.
"Unlike you, Lin Ke."
"You're poor, your talent is mediocre, and you have that pitiful pride. All of those will stand in the way of your future."
"No, not your future, because you're about to die."
"And me? My father is True Person Yuan Yong, and I'm his only son."
"Even a few scraps slipping through his fingers would have Golden Core Personal Disciples scrambling over one another to snatch them."
"I'm only at the middle stage of Dao Foundation now, but I'll soon break through to the late stage, then form my Golden Core. From there, I'll soar into the heavens, and even forming a Nascent Soul will be just around the corner!"
As he spoke, Li Le's smile grew unrestrained.
