Chapter 242 Challenge Beyond Your Level
Chapter 242
Noticing the commotion in the hallway outside, Lin Xia scanned the area with her mental energy and saw two strangers. She caught a glimpse of the emotional fluctuations they exhibited the moment they appeared.
She hadn't seen anyone go in, so they must have come out from inside, looking angry and agitated. Lin Xia wondered, "Was that an argument? A falling out?"
Such intense emotions, especially from that man, I wonder if this will have any impact on them.
Watching the two leave, Lin Xia paid them no further attention. The teleportation arrays here were varied, but their confidentiality was extremely high, making it impossible to track others.
She wondered if anything had happened to Lu Xiu. They had been here for eight days. Although she couldn't see the attribute values, she could still feel the increase in her mental strength and the improvement in her physical fitness.
"Have you chosen your challenge?" A-Tong asked. "I have. I want to challenge the plant-type beastmen."
Lin Xia frowned: "They deliberately leaked those messages to us. Among the beastmen, the plant-type is the most difficult to deal with."
Atong laughed: "I know, but if I miss this opportunity, I don't know if I'll have another chance. I want to know what the differences are in our understanding of the wood element. I don't think I'm any worse than them."
Lin Xia didn't say anything more, respecting her choice.
"I'll choose the human race..." Before she could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Looking at the woman outside the door whose injuries were healing rapidly, Lin Xia was somewhat surprised. The woman outside the door was somewhat reserved, her hands clasped together, and her clothes were dirty. When she saw Lin Xia, her facial muscles twitched, and she said, "I have information that I want to sell to you."
Seeing the woman's anxious expression, Lin Xia closed the door and tied a knot at the entrance: "What news? How much?"
Upon seeing the barrier, her expression relaxed slightly, and she quickly said, "I don't want any information about level 3 players. If you win, I want you to challenge my exclusive owner and let me... become your... follower."
She spoke haltingly, sounding rather embarrassed.
"This is what they taught me to tell you, but this is my only hope. I want to regain my freedom, I want to go home." Hatred blazed in the woman's eyes.
"If I become a follower, they can control everything about me?"
The woman blushed and shook her head: "It can restrict my movement and decide my life or death, but it can't monitor me in real time."
Lin Xia looked at her: "So you still want to continue being a follower?"
"I'm not strong enough, but my senses are pretty good. I think if I followed you, I would be much better off than I am now." The woman looked at Lin Xia hopefully.
Seeing Lin Xia's unmoved expression, she quickly said, "If you lose a challenge against someone of a higher level, you will directly become their follower. If I provide you with the information, I believe your chances of winning will increase significantly."
"I will tell you the truth, not false information."
Women are pitiful, but in a place they know nothing about, taking on someone else's follower, whose life is in someone else's hands, is not a good choice.
Lin Xia shook her head: "Sorry, I don't need it."
The woman's face froze, and she said urgently, "If you become someone's follower, everything you have will become theirs, and they can control your world through you!"
Lin Xia looked at her. Yes, it was that serious. How could she believe what she, now a follower, was saying?
As Lin Xia walked into the room, the woman's outstretched hand couldn't touch her at all. Fear flashed in her eyes, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
As soon as the woman left, Lu Xiu walked into the corridor and looked at the spot where Lin Xia had just set up the barrier, lost in thought.
There have been world guardians like Lin Xia before, including himself, but the most valuable thing about world guardians is the boundless energy in the collective unconscious sea behind them.
The Nine Heavens has absorbed many world guardians, but in the end, they did not level up with their help, but agreed to the conditions proposed by the Nine Heavens.
It means selling out your own world in exchange for a ticket to another world, being incredibly arrogant, and engaging in reckless competitions, ultimately becoming a toy in someone else's hands, with the world behind you becoming someone else's backyard.
These people all have one thing in common: they all have a driving force behind their worlds, pushing these worlds towards extraordinary evolution, and then, after a certain period of time, they will capture the strongest small group of people and bring them here.
Everyone suspected that the person who pushed him might be the only level 4 player in the Nine Heavens, but no one had ever seen him. They all received the mission and then completed it.
Lin Xia was undoubtedly special. After her arrival, they only received one task: to get in touch with her and then let things take their course.
What makes her special? Lu Xiu frowned, sensing the energy left by Lin Xia's barrier, lost in thought.
Now, the Nine Heavens will definitely be split apart, but he felt that the level 4 player didn't care at all, and that these people were likely all failures.
Will Lin Xia be the successful work...?
Lucius wavered between standing idly by and investing early, and in the instant his remaining energy dissipated, he made his choice.
But before he could do anything, the door opened.
Lin Xia and A Tong came out from inside, glanced at him, nodded, and walked towards the arena.
"I have something I want to discuss with you..."
"Let's talk about it later, we have things to do now." Without lingering, Lin Xia and Atong left directly.
Lu Xiu moved his loose hand and followed, quickly saying, "Level 3 players can use some items."
Upon arriving at the arena, the two quickly each occupied a fighting platform and used the control panel next to them to select level 3 players they could challenge.
The two quickly clicked on the players they wanted to challenge.
Those who received the challenge were incredulous, followed by mocking laughter. The news spread instantly, and many who learned of their chosen candidates cursed them as idiots, yet regretted not having chosen themselves.
Lu Xiu looked at Lin Xia, feeling a pang of regret, as if he had missed something.
"If you admit defeat, I'll spare you some suffering." The man said this calmly as soon as he appeared, looking at Lin Xia.
Lin Xia ignored him and simply clicked the 'Ready' button.
"Ha, there are a few people like you every year. In over a thousand years, it's rare to see someone as reckless as you. Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
More and more people gathered in the stands, but the match didn't start even though both players had clicked "ready."
"This is the new World Guardian? He's only been here a few days and he's already challenging opponents of higher levels. He's too arrogant. He probably didn't even do his research properly."
"Watch her get tortured! Torture her to death!" someone shouted.
"I hope he's someone with connections."
"Hey, this is boring. It's been a thousand years, and there hasn't been a single game with any suspense. Why bother betting? What a load of crap!"
"Hey, I'm betting on this woman to win this time, the next energy stone! Hahaha..."
"Anyway, I'm not betting anymore; it's a waste."
"I'm not betting anymore, I always lose."
"Hurry up and start! I'm leaving if you don't start now. This is boring. I thought it was some kind of explosive news. Why did you have to pick someone so mentally challenged? Isn't that just asking for trouble?"
