"At the same time? What does that mean? Xin Ning is really looking down on us!" Luo Yuge, as a reactionary, was the first to speak out.
"Who are you looking down on? Most of us here are level seven ability users. If we weren't exceptional individuals, the master wouldn't have gathered us here."
Yi Song also felt slighted; this behavior was tantamount to telling them on the spot.
You are a bunch of trash.
Even if they all attack together, they might not be able to defeat one person.
For them, this was an immense insult.
"I think everyone needs to calm down first. I know that you are all outstanding individuals among those with superpowers, and your strength is beyond doubt." Xin Ning explained patiently with a smile on her face.
"But our opponent today is a bit special. I believe everyone has already witnessed the terror of psychic ability users, such as Xie Er..."
Xie Erge's psychic ability is hypnosis; anyone who faces her can easily forget what just happened if they're not careful.
It is indeed a rather dangerous entity.
But that's not enough to make the gentleman feel that they all need to work together, is it?
Xin Ning continued, "For example, the third son."
The commotion gradually subsided.
Almost everyone here has been brutally beaten by the third brother.
It is indeed very frightening.
Yi Song retorted again, "But the third sister's ability can only disable other people's abilities. The reason she can make everyone wary is that she is not only powerful in terms of her abilities, but also in close combat."
After Yi Song finished speaking, he pointed at Lao Lin, who had just stepped into the crowd, and asked, "What about him? Does he have such strong close combat abilities?"
"You must trust Mr. Yi's decision." Xin Ning looked at Yi Song with gentle eyes.
However, that look in his eyes made Yi Song's hair stand on end instantly.
Seeing that he looked away, Xin Ning continued to explain, "Let me make this clear: Lao Lin's close combat ability is practically zero. If you're capable of attacking him at close range, then go ahead and use all your skills."
"Of course, since we've trained together the longest, I naturally hope you win."
Luo Yuge frowned, but his current expression clearly indicated that he felt they couldn't win even if they attacked together.
They're being far too confident in this guy named Lao Lin's abilities.
Everyone feels this way.
When Yun and the others saw Lin's father, they all frowned.
Isn't this Lin Xi's father?
Do we really want them to fight with Lao Lin?
At this moment, they were extremely conflicted.
Logically speaking, showing one's emotions is a big no-no, as it makes one vulnerable to being exposed.
However, to others, this expression appeared as disdain for Xin Ning's words.
Their appearance at this time seems exceptionally reasonable, and in fact, it clears them of suspicion.
If you keep pretending to be clueless, it will probably be easier for people to become suspicious.
"Sir, this decision is so unfair to Lao Lin," Lin Xi said, her expression practically blank.
It seems like he's just an outsider offering his irrelevant opinion.
Xie Erge shook his head. "No, if you think that way, then you're underestimating Lao Lin's strength and abilities."
The battlefield over there is ready.
Everyone was eager to get started.
He was thinking to himself that he would definitely be the one to inflict the first wound on Lao Lin.
Everyone was unusually excited about the addition of a new competitor.
Just as Yun and his team were debating whether to have a casual, token fight, the battle took an astonishing turn in less than ten seconds.
The people who had initially attacked Lao Lin seemed to have completely lost their minds, their movements freezing in mid-air before slowly retracting.
Just when they thought that was the worst that could happen, they turned around and found that it was not over yet.
Everyone within three meters of him stood respectfully in front of him, adopting a hostile stance against the others.
"What happened?" one of the survivors exclaimed in shock.
"Yi Song! Peng Yao! What's wrong with you two?"
Seeing the expressions on the remaining people's faces, Xin Ning smiled with satisfaction.
As expected of the gentleman's decision.
This person is really quite good.
"Look, his superpower is special, isn't it? As long as you stand within his control range, whether you're a zombie or a human, you'll become his puppet and willingly risk your life for him."
The smile in Xie Erge's eyes grew even wider.
She was naturally satisfied, after all, this was her most successful work.
Looking at her smile, Lin Xi felt a chill in her heart. "But wouldn't it be very painful for someone to become a puppet? Losing your past memories and becoming a weapon in someone else's hand to kill—that sounds terrifying."
Xie Erge was stunned.
Lin Xi continued, "And these people were all once my closest friends..."
She still looked calm, but Xie Erge immediately noticed her disappointment.
"Third brother, you don't need to be so sad. Old Lin is one of our men. He knows how to act."
Lin Xi forced a smile and said, "I understand."
She wasn't talking about these people.
Instead, their memories were erased, and they became the father and friends of their former enemies, knives in their hands.
She stared intently at Xie Erge, who was engrossed in watching the game, her heart filled with conflicting emotions about her.
Did she feel even the slightest bit of guilt when she did these things?
Sometimes she wished she could kill Xie Erge to atone for the pain her father had endured over the past year, but at other times she could truly feel his care.
Lin Xi concealed her emotions, her eyes becoming calm and undisturbed.
Let's continue looking at the battlefield.
The outcome is decided.
They underestimated their opponent.
And just as Yin said, Lin's father was indeed comparable to more than a dozen level seven ability users.
Those who had previously clamored to defeat Lao Lin have either become his puppets or are in a sorry state, with hardly any chance to catch their breath.
Now they finally realized what Xin Ning meant when he said, "If you have the ability to attack him up close, then just use all your skills to hit him."
Previously, they were mocked and thought Xin Ning was looking down on them.
Now, after being beaten up, they gradually realized that they were the ones who looked down on others.
This guy named Lao Lin is even more terrifying than Lao San.
Is it true that people with the surname Lao are all more powerful?
Seeing that everyone else was about to give up, Xin Ning clapped his hands to stop the match.
Those who had been hiding were finally able to catch their breath, and those who had been controlled as puppets were also freed. After regaining control of their bodies, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"I believe that everyone has gained a new understanding of their own abilities after this match." Xin Ning smiled gently.
However, none of the people present had any other opinions to express.
