Lin Zhan looked at the howling single dogs and finally felt relieved. At least these two hundred and fifty couldn't rebel for now.
Then Lin Zhan spoke again, "Now let's talk about the second matter. After the New Year, everyone will be promoted to high martial arts. I also plan to step down as the big boss. I won't go to high martial arts with everyone, and will only retain my student status."
"What's wrong, Old Lin? Did something happen?" Jiang Zheng and the others asked seriously.
He Dazhuang and his brother, along with Meng Gang and a few other impulsive people, flipped the table. "What's wrong, Old Lin? If you're not the big boss, we won't do it. Is someone at high martial arts causing trouble for us? We'll flip his bastard academy."
Lin Zhan looked at their reactions, feeling both gratified and helpless, and said, "Brothers, don't get agitated. Listen to me slowly. You can also see that whether it was the Dragon Taming Secret Realm or this trip to Fusang, it was people like us with combat-oriented professions who took action. Let those auxiliary team members focus on learning, management, and other things."
"That's right, it is. Old Hei Lin, continue," Ying Xuan said, squinting his eyes.
"After the New Year, I will enter the Myriad Races Battlefield in advance. It will be a chaotic Shura Hunting Battlefield. Some of the races there will only allow the latest generation of their prodigies to enter. Killing a prodigy will greatly enhance their race's luck."
"Moreover, this is the first time humanity has entered since the ancient Myriad Races War."
He Dazhuang roared fiercely, "Damn it, is that all? We brothers will go together and chop up these sons of bitches. Let them know that there are thousands of races in this world, and if you want to live, don't mess with them."
Looking at He Dazhuang's fierce demeanor, Lin Zhan said helplessly, "Dahu, if we go in together now, I might be the only one who comes back alive."
"Stop interrupting and listen to me. Those guys from the Myriad Races, especially the leading ones, are all incredibly strong. Which of them doesn't have a bunch of old monsters guarding them?"
"Also, the standard for participating in the Shura Hunting Battlefield is Gold-level martial artists. Going in without this level is suicidal. Moreover, we can all fight above our level. Don't you think those prodigies from the Myriad Races can't?"
"They might look like Gold-level, but have the combat power of Diamond-level. How will you play if you go in?"
Lin Zhan finished speaking, and the crowd was startled. Holy crap, fighting above one's level is already amazing. And here there are monsters who can fight two levels above. After all, among them, only Lin Zhan could fight two levels above with his own strength.
As for Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran, they were all using cheats. If they malfunctioned during a fight, they wouldn't even know how they died.
Lin Zhan looked at the silent crowd and said, "So you all need to enter high martial arts quickly and hone yourselves. After that, humanity will send people to participate in the Shura Hunting Battlefield every year. Looking at you all, next year, Zhang Haoran, Old Ying, Old Xiao, and Zhan Long will be able to help me. The year after that, everyone should be able to come together."
Jiang Zheng analyzed based on Lin Zhan's words, "Old Lin, does that mean your combat power has already reached Diamond level? And how many people will each race send to this hunting battlefield?"
Lin Zhan smiled and said, "I do have Diamond-level combat power, but I don't know which stage of Diamond I can defeat."
"According to our ancestors, let's not compare to ancient times. It's impossible for every race to send tens of thousands of participants. Now, at most ten or eight participants can be sent, and those must be from strong races."
Lin Zhan saw the expressions on their faces and knew what they were thinking, so he explained, "I can take a slight disadvantage, but it's not much. Don't forget I still have my three spirit pets, Xiao Jin, Xiao Hei, and Xiao Bao. Besides, the Myriad Races are not united. They often attack each other."
"It just so happens that our human race hasn't participated for thousands of years. I'll go scout the way first. When my brothers are all strong, we'll do a big job together."
After Lin Zhan finished speaking, everyone started discussing. They realized that they couldn't help Lin Zhan much at the moment.
They said, "Old Lin, go to the battlefield and do your best. We'll keep this position of boss for you. We won't let Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran, these two simple-minded guys, scatter the team. We'll also speed up our cultivation and try to help you as soon as possible."
Ying Xuan and Zhang Haoran echoed, "That's right, we're simple-minded and can't lead the team well, so Old Lin, you have to come back safely. We can't do without you."
"Exactly, brother. We're used to good food and drink. If these two incompetent guys are in charge, we'll be back to drinking gruel and eating pickles. So, brother, you have to come back safely for us," the young Taoist Zhang Haoming said with a choked voice.
Lin Zhan chuckled and hugged the young Taoist, saying, "It's okay, Haoming. If all else fails, you can quit the organization. You're our Lin family's live-in son-in-law anyway, and our family is not short of money. You can learn from the masterpiece 'Kidnapping Encyclopedia' left by my grandfather. In a few years, you'll be able to handle business on your own."
When everyone heard Lin Zhan mention the Kidnapping Encyclopedia, they were stunned: Holy crap, no wonder Old Lin is so good at what he does. It turns out he was educated from childhood.
It turned out that the rumor in the military about Old Master Lin Tian funding half the military was true.
"Alright, stop looking at me with your eyes glowing green. It's creepy. This batch of dividends is enough for everyone to cultivate peacefully for a few years. Take this opportunity to improve your strength. The rest is for everyone to go home and find their mothers." Lin Zhan scolded the wolves with a smile.
Then he said to the young Taoist, "Haoming, are you returning to the Lin family with me or going back to the Heavenly Master's Mansion with Old Zhang?"
"Brother, I have to go back to the Heavenly Master's Mansion. The Grand Ancestor will definitely issue a decree during the New Year, and I have to wait there," the young Taoist thought for a moment and said.
Zhang Haoran cooperated and said, "Junior brother is a direct descendant of the first generation Grand Ancestor, so he plays a very important role at the annual meeting."
Lin Zhan nodded, then said to everyone, "We'll meet again, brothers. See you next year."
Then, after exchanging greetings with laughter, everyone boarded the flying machines waiting on the tarmac and headed home.
Lin Zhan sat in the flying machine, eager to return home. Not far from home, there was someone who could stay with him forever, waiting for his return.
