Lin Yan's Unanswerable Open Scheme: Ning Fengzhi Enters the Game Himself, Forcing Everyone to Place Orders

Yes, sheer horror.

They could sense it themselves, and they had already tested his Soul Power with a crystal ball. They were certain that the Blazing Flame Guard's Soul Power fluctuations were at level 93.

Yet this level 93 Soul Master was actually overpowering Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo head-on.

He was fighting three levels above his own, taking on two opponents alone, and crushing them throughout.

Bibi Dong could no longer smile.

She looked toward Ghost Douluo Gui Mei and Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan beside her.

"Elder Ju, Ghost Elder, could you two join forces to deal with this Blazing Flame Guard?"

At Bibi Dong's question, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances, then looked astonished, their eyes seeming to say:

Me, fight the Blazing Flame Guard? Are you serious?

"Your Holiness, we haven't fought him, so we aren't too sure.

"But if we use our Martial Soul Fusion Skill, we should be able to immobilize him."

"True. Your Martial Soul Fusion Skill can immobilize even me for a while. A mere level 93 Titled Douluo should naturally be no problem.

"But this hall really is too bizarre. A level 90 Frost Guard can fight a level 95 Titled Douluo to a draw, and a level 93 Blazing Flame Guard can crush two veteran Titled Douluo, even across a gap of three levels.

"Then the Obsidian Guard listed above should be genuine too, and that final Demon King Guard..."

This was what concerned Bibi Dong most now. Since everything was real, things were starting to become serious.

If an existence who was "invincible beneath the gods, and could trade one life for one against the gods," someone who could take a god down with him, truly existed on the Douluo Continent, wouldn't Spirit Hall's plans have to be postponed indefinitely?

What worried her most was that Ning Fengzhi had already purchased the Demon King Guard package, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was included in the hunting operation within Spirit Hall's grand plan for the next ten years.

Even if the shop's rules prohibited the escorts from interfering in the continent's affairs, a god's power was astonishing. Simply protecting Supreme Ning might be enough for the guard to slaughter everyone she sent.

After all, it would only take a casual sweep of his hand.

This owner is a sly one.

Ning Fengzhi had set the ball rolling. Once he did, everyone else had no choice but to follow and take a seat at the table.

The first-tier Frost Guard was really nothing special, yet purchasing one required 40 points.

The second tier required 60 points, the third 80, and the fourth 100. The maximum score was only 120, and one had to spend at least over fifteen million to qualify.

Now that Ning Fengzhi had purchased the Demon King Guard, top factions like theirs all had to place orders with Lin Yan and unlock the required points before they could purchase the corresponding Escort Packages.

Only a Demon King Guard could counter a Demon King Guard.

She suspected the owner had deliberately arranged all of this. She suspected everything Ning Fengzhi had done had been accounted for in Lin Yan's calculations.

It was truly terrifying.

Spirit Hall had money, but no one to do it.

She did not want to have a child. Even if she did, it would be Xiaogang's, and she felt a strong aversion to children.

With Qian Renxue as a cautionary example, she loathed children. The sight of a child reminded her of Qian Xunji, the pain of her life.

But if she would not give birth, that left only her disciple, Hu Liena.

"Na'er, go place an order in a moment and obtain a divine-grade child scoring over 100 points."

"But, Teacher, I don't want to yet..."

"A ten-percent return is an enormous opportunity.

"And don't forget that you are Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden. You must always remember to make sacrifices for the Holy Hall."

"Understood, Teacher. I'll place an order."

Hu Liena had only come along to watch the excitement. She had never expected the burden to be dumped onto her.

She really did not want her future child to have a father of unknown identity.

But that ten-percent return really was tempting.

Sometimes, the more seductive a woman appeared, the more conservative she actually was.

They would flirt shamelessly, teasing you until your face flushed and your heart raced, but when you actually tried to do something to them, they became afraid instead.

Hu Liena was that kind of girl, but she would do anything for Spirit Hall and her teacher.

At that moment, inside Spirit Hall's Pope's Hall, the assembled Revered Elders' expressions also changed dramatically. Even the level 97 Mighty Lion Douluo was frowning deeply.

He had heard Lin Yan say that the Blazing Flame Guard's combat strength matched level 97, precisely his own level.

Yet his expression was grim now. If he put himself in Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's place against the Blazing Flame Guard, facing someone who controlled the Law of Fire and possessed an absolute domain, he could not be certain of victory either. Most likely, he would be suppressed throughout the fight just as Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo had been.

He was certain the other man's flames surpassed his own.

Meanwhile, the crowd erupted completely.

"So terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!

"These escorts are all monsters. Beings with talent like theirs are actually willing to serve as guards under Lin Yan.

"Just how terrifying must the shop owner's strength and background be?"

"You still think the owner is human? He's probably a god descended from heaven to amuse himself in the mortal world."

"I think you have a very good point.

"There are still two escorts left. The Frost Guard already defies the heavens, yet the Blazing Flame Guard is even more absurd.

"Just how terrifying will the third- and fourth-tier escorts be?"

By now, no one dared covet Lin Yan's shop anymore. Everyone was filled with reverence and wariness.

Lin Yan had also achieved the effect he wanted. The intimidation had been cranked to the limit.

Lin Yan looked at the arena. The outcome was settled.

The Blazing Flame Guard had decisively defeated Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo. After the two stepped down from the arena, an indescribable desolation hung over their faces. This battle had probably damaged both men's resolve.

But Lin Yan had no time to comfort them now. He immediately had the third-tier Obsidian Guard custom-made.

"Next is the third-tier escort, the Obsidian Guard."

At Lin Yan's words, the entire venue fell silent. Everyone held their breath, eager to see just what bearing this Obsidian Guard possessed.

Lin Yan wanted to know too.

With a hum, the space above the arena burst open, and a steady figure with a restrained aura slowly appeared in its center.

Light and darkness circulated around the Obsidian Guard, and invisible gravity spread across the venue. Although he had not released his Martial Soul, the sheer weight of his Soul Power made looking at him feel like gazing upon a mountain that could suppress all things.

Lin Yan immediately inspected all of the Obsidian Guard's information:

Obsidian Guard:

[Soul Power Level: level 96 Super Douluo]

[Martial Soul: pseudo-divine artifact, Heaven-Overturning Seal]

[Soul Ring configuration: 3 black, 6 red]

[Soul Bones: complete 60,000-year Obsidian Soul Bone set, with innate Soul Bone Skills]

[Talent: commands the twin domains of light and darkness, controls the Law of Light and Darkness, can become god or demon with a thought]

As soon as the Obsidian Guard appeared, black and white energies circulated around him, as though he commanded yin and yang and the cycle of reincarnation. Even a single glance at him left everyone's hearts trembling.

This time, there were no opponents left.

The aura emanating from the level 96 Obsidian Guard was already no weaker than that of a Limit Douluo.

Level 97 or 98 Titled Douluo would only be serving themselves up on a platter if they went up, and none of the powerful figures present wanted to expose their identities.

As for Limit Douluo, Qian Daoliu did feel an itch to test the Obsidian Guard's depths, but Qian Renxue was present, and his identity also made it inconvenient for him to act.

As for Bibi Dong, she did not yet want to reveal that she was a Limit Douluo.

After appearing, the Obsidian Guard simply stood there, radiating dominance, yet not a single person dared accept the challenge.

Lin Yan also found it rather dull.

"You've all seen it. Aren't this shop owner's Escort Packages honest bargains for young and old alike?"

"Yes, boss!"

"Mighty! Boss, you're awesome!"

"Boss, I want to have your babies! Can you give me an Escort Package?"

"Boss, I'm a student. I don't have any money. Can you give me an escort? A Frost Guard will do."

"Not even if you were livestock."

"All right, we've achieved the desired intimidation, and everyone has seen the escorts' strength. There's no need for any more arena matches."

Lin Yan snapped his fingers, and everything instantly returned to its original state.

That move immediately drew countless exclamations of amazement.

It was finally over. Lin Yan rubbed his hands together. At last, he could start making money.
