He Da Zhuang bade farewell to Xiaoben Taro, muttering as he walked, "This Xiaoben is a big idiot, thinking he can defeat Lin Lao Hei. He'll be squashed by Lin Lao Hei's big turtle."
Turning to Lin Zhan and his group.
"Lao Jiang, are you sure Lao He isn't possessed by something strange? When did he get so smart? He practically conned that Xiaoben Wolf guy out of his wits," Leng Shan, the old hunter, still worried He Da Zhuang had encountered something supernatural. It seemed some past events had left deep childhood traumas for the boy.
"He himself is a strange entity, what else could he encounter? Have you forgotten the He family's Blood Tiger totem? That tiger once underwent heavenly tribulation. Look at Da Zhuang's tattoo, it's completely branded with the totem's power," Jiang Zheng, fearing Leng Shan would also be fooled by He Da Zhuang if this continued, quickly said to the child.
"Holy hell, how could I forget that? Their big tiger is practically an ancestor among the five great immortal families. What kind of evil would dare cause trouble for the He family?" Leng Shan, the pitiful simpleton.
"I say, Lao He's condition is still a sickness that needs treatment," Zhang Cong added.
"Holy hell, are you two still at it?" Even Jiang the Great Strategist was forced to swear by these two idiots.
"What are you guys chatting about? What's wrong with Lao Jiang, is he possessed by a toad, wheezing like that?" He Da Zhuang caught up to Lin Zhan's group.
"I'm going to curse, quickly tell us what intel you've gathered," Jiang Zheng couldn't stand these dimwits anymore.
"Besides Xiaoben Taro, they also have Vice-Captain Taogu Lixiang and Koinu Jiro. Both of these are high-tier Silver level, capable of fighting beyond their rank. They should be able to reach early Gold level combat power. Meaning, this Xiaoben's true combat strength can reach high-tier Gold."
"Lao Lin, this shouldn't be a problem for you, right? This little devil is determined to defeat you," He Da Zhuang presented his analysis to everyone.
"Piece of cake. Little Jin just transmitted a message saying he sensed a hateful aura on Xiaoben, likely the bloodline aura of the Eight-Headed Serpent," Lin Da Dang Jia said, arm around his wife.
"Then it seems a bit tricky. Lin Lao Hei, don't let yourself be capsized in a ditch by accident," He Da Zhuang asked with concern.
"You underestimate your Da Dang Jia too much. Little Jin and Little Hei's overall attributes have already reached high-tier Gold, and Little Jin's dragon might has a natural suppression effect on all snake-type races. Even if this Xiaoben Taro has peak Gold combat power, he's dead.
Moreover, I don't believe a high-tier Silver can have combat power that surpasses its rank. You know, Little Jin and Little Hei are a reverted lineage of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon, king of the dragon race, and a reverted lineage of the Black Tortoise Great Emperor, respectively, for their overall attributes to surpass their rank.
And the equipment on Little Jin and Little Hei alone is enough to cultivate two Diamond level experts. If they can't kill a mere mongrel with snake blood, I'll stew them both for soup," Lin Da Dang Jia guaranteed with imposing power.
"Holy hell, your Lin family is truly rich and powerful," everyone said in shock. So Lin Zhan's two spirit pets were this expensive, no wonder they were so powerful.
The group spent the day exploring and returned to the High Martial Hotel after dinner.
Xiao Hanyi pushed the door open and threw two small notebooks on the table, "Here's the information on those two teams."
Jiang Zheng picked up one of the notebooks and opened it. "It's similar to what we saw. Xiaoben Taro, peak Silver, secret technique: Eight-Headed Serpent Transformation, possesses high-tier Gold combat power, but his mind gets a bit foggy after transforming.
Vice-Captain Taogu Lixiang, from a Fuso Onmyoji family, high-tier Silver, possesses two peak Silver Shikigami, Crow Tengu and Akainu Oni. Among these Shikigami, the more powerful ones can combine to fight at early Gold.
Koinu Jiro, a Fuso Iga Ninja, walks a path somewhat similar to Lao Xiao, but he's too sneaky, using poison, assassination, and all sorts of dirty tricks. He can exert early Gold combat power, but he's never won.
There are also 4 other Silver level team members, nothing special, all ordinary. The highest is mid-tier Silver, capable of fighting one rank higher."
"This is the full strength of the Fuso team. Aside from Xiaoben Taro being a bit tricky, the rest are easy. No need to formulate any special plans, right?" Strategist Jiang expressed his opinion.
Jiang Zheng then picked up the other notebook. "The American Special Zone team. Captain Adam Sol, a half-blood of the alien Thunder God clan and American. The Thunder God clan is actually the people from the alien planet Asgard. People from this planet have strong control over lightning.
But their weapons are quite formidable. Thor's Hammer is forged from a unique Asgardian metal called Uru, capable of carrying magical incantations and containing immense energy, as well as summoning the four natural elements: wind, rain, thunder, and lightning. While it sounds grand, it can actually absorb and store these four elements, and at the user's will, it's activated by their strength.
Adam Sol is peak Silver, secret technique: Thunder God Transformation, somewhat similar to Ling Xiu big sister's Trembling Thunder bloodline, capable of exerting high-tier Gold combat power. His combat strength is higher than Xiaoben Taro's. His weapon isn't Thor's Hammer, but it's certainly a weapon with similar properties to Thor's Hammer.
Vice-Captain Avril, skill: Charm, high-tier Silver, can seduce male warriors below mid-tier Gold. Furthermore, the more frequent their physical relationship, the stronger her charm and control over the male becomes."
"Peh, shameless!" Several female team members spoke up in unison.
"It's normal, after all, it's an open special zone. This can be left to Ling Xiu big sister. Use the excuse of seducing your man to kill her.
Hulk, Berserker bloodline, secret technique: Rage, high-tier Silver level, early Gold combat power. Lao He can play with him. Your tiger should have some blood to feed on as well."
"No problem, Zhuang Ye will smash him to death."
"The remaining one is an archer and one with a merman bloodline. They can be left to Lao Leng and Lao Zhang," Jiang Zheng arranged for everyone and continued.
"Lao Lin, what do you think? We can't reveal all your trump cards, right? You need to hide some. I feel like that guy from India is going to cause trouble. If anything, let Lao Xiao kill a few."
"I think that's a good idea. It'll save them from being so arrogant. Let Lao Xiao kill a few, anyway, everyone knows Lao Xiao learned assassination, so it's not strange for him to lose control during the competition, right?" He Da Zhuang's mind was becoming increasingly sharp.
"I have no objections, it's just a matter of moving my hands," Xiao Hanyi said with his usual poker face.
"I could kill Adam Sol and Xiaoben Taro, after all, both of them are quite formidable. Without going all out, I can't win, but if I go all out, I can't control myself. But what excuse would I find to kill the rest of these weaklings?" Lin Lao Hei is indeed Lin Lao Hei, coming up with such a far-fetched excuse for killing.
"For the American Ling Xiu big sister and Lao He, there are excuses to kill them. As for the Fuso's Koinu Jiro, let Lao Xiao kill him. Anyway, that excuse will suffice. As for that 'where is fragrant' (referring to Taogu Lixiang), if there's no excuse, just kill her two Shikigami, and she'll be crippled," Lin Zhan was indeed worthy of being from the Lin family.
