Chapter 476: Chapter 235 Fan Mao! This time I finally caught... up with you? (6k)_3
"Whoa! Jun Lin broke through to Tier Six too? Is this what being a big shot is all about?"
"I still haven’t figured out how to break through to the 5th Tier, how did the big shot reach Tier Six already? Is this what a big shot is!"
"Stop complaining, I just managed to breakthrough to the 4th Rank thanks to this Battle Zone’s rewards!"
"..."
Looking at the flood of messages, Jun Lin felt immensely relieved, body and mind at ease, almost as if he had been constipated for ages and was suddenly cured, or like an unlucky person winning five hundred thousand unexpectedly. freeweɓnovel~cѳm
Although he sensed something slightly off in the messages, it was quickly overshadowed by his happiness.
"It was just a matter of luck, a fluke breakthrough."
He humbly replied in the channel, though the uncontrollable smile on his face revealed his true feelings.
Since he was last affected by emotions, even though he immediately adjusted, he remained bothered. Now, with this feedback from the other Lords, he finally cleared away the last vestiges of gloom and worry.
He even felt that his Tao Heart had become much clearer, and it seemed like he had glimpsed hope for a breakthrough on the path of Immortal Cultivation.
This was a very rare feeling, as he had often read descriptions of a clear Tao Heart in the cultivation scrolls, which was always portrayed as a great opportunity for a breakthrough!
Who knows, perhaps this time he could break through to Tier Six on this unrestrictable path of Immortal Cultivation!
However, before starting his meditation for cultivation, Jun Lin decided to open the leaderboard to record the rare moment when he surpassed his former idol Fan Mao on the panel.
"Hmm? Why do I feel a little uneasy? I just got back, there’s no way there could be danger around here, could it be that someone is gossiping about my breakthrough?
Forget it, with my current strength, who could possibly trouble me?
Ha! Fan Mao! This time I’ve finally caught...
...up to you?"
Jun Lin, with a bit of disbelief, looked at the leaderboard he had been expecting, unable to believe his own eyes.
At that moment, he finally understood why he felt uneasy when he opened the panel, and understood why the Lords had those reactions in the channel earlier.
He also found the answer for why he subconsciously felt something was off.
"Fan Mao, also broke through???"
Whether it was in the territory ranking, personal combat power, or the comprehensive combat power.
All of them startlingly displayed Tier Six Gold!
Even though one of the panel assessments had turned into gibberish, the rankings would never be wrong!
The only possibility for surpassing his own personal combat power Tier Six Green assessment was someone stronger than him!
Fan Mao wasn’t like him, needing to play various tricks and go around the rules to breakthrough.
He had no doubt that, even if it wasn’t a true panel breakthrough, Fan Mao’s raw strength had definitely reached Tier Six. Furthermore, his intuition told him that Fan Mao had genuinely broken through to Tier Six and wasn’t just a panel judgment!
At that moment, Jun Lin went from confused to unconvinced, ultimately finding some relief.
"Of course, it is Fan Mao after all...
Isn’t it only natural for them to be stronger than me?
Besides, Fan Mao and I aren’t enemies, there’s no need to compete for a higher position, it’s just the competitiveness within me...
The fight for fame is meaningless, strengthening myself is the key.
Besides, my current strength is not weak either, just slightly inferior to Fan Mao..."
Even though the harsh reality was a blow, thankfully Jun Lin had just built up his confidence earlier, preventing a complete collapse of his Tao Heart. Instead, he came to terms with it, no longer fixated on the fight for first place.
Although Jun Lin had come to terms with it in his heart, the smile on his face clearly indicated that his mood was not so good right now.
After all, anyone pretending to be impressive and finding out there’s a bigger shot quietly watching wouldn’t feel too great.
Luckily, he wasn’t one of those people with a loose screw in their head, or else, by now, he might have declared Fan Mao as his lifelong rival and started stirring up trouble.
"If that happened, Fan Mao would probably discreetly finish me off, and nothing would be left..."
He was very sure that, at the start of the Lord game, there would always be some fools.
Believing that even the powers that be should yield to them, thinking themselves second only to heaven.
Even if their IQ wasn’t low, they’d instinctively ignore someone evidently stronger than them, successfully fooling themselves into thinking they have the upper hand.
It’s exactly because of a harmonious society that such people were tolerated, but in this special world environment, they’d immediately be exposed.
When the Lord game first started, quite a few of them showed up, and he even encountered some himself.
But the biggest uproar was undoubtedly caused by the one who offended Fan Mao and was countered...
Also, that person in the previous life who was enticing Fan Mao loudly only to go silent later, probably got discreetly taken out too.
"Sss...
What’s that Lord’s name again?
I feel like my memory of previous lives is starting to get blurry, always forgetting some details...
Ah! Right! Called Anonymous!
Ha, this time I don’t need to pray to [Eternal] to recall my memory.
This time he seemed to have grown smarter, actually switching careers to become a merchant, and it seems his business isn’t doing too badly.
Seems like you managed to slip away..."
Jun Lin shook his head, and after this slight detour in conversation, his face appeared much more relaxed than before.
He still needed to prepare for the next instance and arrange the rewards from this instance properly.
These logistical matters were now managed by his Little Su at home, leaving him without additional concerns.
