chief!
As soon as these two words came out, Lin You and the others could hardly hide the horror on their faces.
They didn't know what the title of 'Sword Bearer' meant, but the word 'Chief' made it clear that his status was extraordinary.
The most important thing is... this chief is from the General Association!
What a big shot this is!
No wonder even Senior Chen showed such special respect.
The Duelist Association really attaches great importance to this life-and-death battle this time, and even sends out such a person as the leader.
For a moment, everyone felt that the burden on their shoulders had become heavier.
"These guys are all very good."
Zhang Ze's eyes swept over the men one by one, approval in his eyes. "After all, they have gone through the layers of selection of the World Duel City Competition. These young men are all very spirited. It's a blessing for the human world!"
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly fell on Lin You.
Noticing the other person's gaze, Lin You felt inexplicably surprised.
Although the other person had a smile in his eyes and looked like a friendly elder, under his gaze, Lin You felt that everything about him would be seen through and he had nowhere to hide.
By the way, why did this senior suddenly stare at me for so long?
Could it be that...
Some bad premonitions emerged in my mind.
But the next moment, Zhang Ze smiled and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, this young man should be Lin You, right?"
"Senior knows me? It's really an honor for Lin You."
Lin You was a little surprised, and the bad premonition in his heart became stronger.
Even Chen Feiang looked at Zhang Ze in surprise.
Chief Zhang actually knows Lin You?
Even though Lin You is a genius, hasn't he just started out not long ago?
The result was that it had caught the attention of top figures like Chief Zhang, which was unexpected!
Chief Zhang is very busy with all kinds of things every day. The various super-dangerous secret realms and even the chaotic demon realm almost occupy all his time. Yet he still has time to pay attention to the young generation. It is really admirable!
Zhang Ze said with a smile, "I've heard a long time ago that there's a young man named Lin You. He's not only incredibly gifted, but also incredibly beautiful and dignified, much like me back then. That's why I've always been thinking about him. Now that I've seen him, I can see he's truly worthy of his reputation."
“…”
Lin You was stunned. Was the senior... praising his own good looks in disguise?
The others were also basically stunned, only Fang Ye remained calm.
Even Chen Feiang was dumbfounded. Why did Chief Zhang talk about this with the junior?
The point is... judging from Chief Zhang's appearance, he might be described as majestic, but the four words "beautiful as a crown of jade" really don't match!
It can even be said that they are far apart!
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Chen Feiang felt guilty.
What are you talking about!
Chief Zhang is unparalleled in bearing, extremely domineering, righteous, and quick-witted. He is the epitome of a true man!
At this moment, Lin You also reacted and said quickly: "Senior, you are too kind. How can I be compared with you?"
"Don't be so modest."
Zhang Ze waved his hand and said, "With your incredible talent, you are unmatched among the young people in the world today. This life-and-death duel was originally too early for you, but unexpectedly, you have made it to the list of participants. I think this death-and-death duel, you may bring me, and the human world, a different surprise."
"Lin You will definitely try his best."
This time, Lin You did not refute Zhang Ze's high evaluation.
Because that's the truth!
Lin You himself also has this confidence.
"Okay, then I'm looking forward to seeing all of you perform."
Zhang Ze smiled heartily and said, "Then there's no time to lose. I'll take you out now."
After he finished speaking, he waved his hands in front of him again.
A large amount of super source power emerged again, opening up space in front of him once again!
Lin You and his companions were overwhelmed with emotion when they saw this.
This is the real strong man!
There is no driving card, only relying on its own ability to break and gather space,
But it is as easy as opening and closing a door.
While opening the space gate, Zhang Ze transmitted a message: "Fei Ang, don't worry about Chang Qing's injury. Xiao Jiang will take care of the original energy."
Little Jiang...
Chen Feiang was stunned for a moment, but soon he was ecstatic.
Although Zhang Ze's name was a bit too casual, the Little Jiang he mentioned was, as expected, Jiang Yuan, Chief Jiang!
With the help of the association's chief psychic, no matter how difficult the remaining original energy of Ma Yinxiu is, there will definitely be a way to solve it!
"Come in, boys."
At this time, Zhang Ze stepped into the door of space.
Everyone followed with curiosity.
As soon as they entered the space gate, Lin You and his companions found that the view in front of them suddenly became wider, like a door leading to the plain.
Expanding ahead is an extremely dazzling, golden space world!
In the space, golden flashes of lightning can be seen from time to time.
Zhang Ze's reminder came immediately, "Just stand beside me, don't walk around, be careful of being hit by space lightning, it may shatter your soul immediately."
As soon as these words were spoken, Yue Yongmingdou, who was originally thinking of walking around and looking around, was startled and stopped immediately.
Is it so dangerous?
After reminding everyone, Zhang Ze began to walk forward slowly. His steps seemed slow, but with every step he took, everyone felt a slight dizziness inexplicably in their minds.
Fortunately, it was not serious. I just watched Zhang Ze walk away and followed him.
Until one moment, Zhang Ze stopped and said, "We're here."
Are we there yet?
Everyone's spirits lifted, and they immediately forgot the persistent dizziness in their heads.
Zhang Ze waved his hand again, and this time, he opened up the internal space and an exit appeared.
Looking from the inside out, you can't see the scenery outside clearly.
"Let's go."
Zhang Ze took the lead and walked out, and the others quickly followed.
The moment everyone walked out, the light in front of them suddenly became dim.
It took some time to adapt.
The first thing everyone did after coming to their senses was to observe their surroundings.
But I found that this was a world with a gray tone, surrounded by an empty field.
But although it is called a wilderness, all you can see are a lot of dilapidated weeds, and those weeds are all gray.
It was leaning to one side and the other, as if it had been trampled on countless times.
There seemed to be faint dark spots of light floating on the weeds.
The large number of dark spots floating in the air came from those weeds.
Being in such an environment, people feel depressed even when breathing.
This is... the secret realm of death fight!
Lin You and the others reacted immediately and looked at Zhang Ze in surprise.
He actually led them directly into the secret realm of death battle!
Even the teleportation array that is theoretically necessary to enter the secret realm has been omitted?
Is it possible to do such a thing by breaking the space?
"Nothing surprising."
Zhang Ze chuckled and said, "The teleportation array built by the human world is essentially a hole in the channel between the human world and the secret realm. It then injects teleportation power into the channel to form the teleportation between the realms. However, it is not necessarily a hole. After all, this channel exists naturally, not opened by the powerful people in the human world or the monsters in the secret realm. So, what I did was just to borrow this natural channel to replace the teleportation array."
Everyone understood and finally recovered.
Otherwise, if it was really Zhang Ze who opened up the channel, it would mean that a truly strong person could easily break through the channel between the two worlds.
Some of the most powerful demonic beasts in that secret realm may invade the human world at any time.
The hidden dangers are so great that it is hard to imagine!
But at this moment, Lin You couldn't help but ask, "Senior Zhang, is this passage, or what we call the Eye of the World, truly natural, and not artificially opened up in distant times?"
"Perhaps."
Zhang Ze did not deny it and said with a smile: "If that's the case, then things are interesting. This means that in that era, there were people with tremendous strength who were able to open up these world eyes. Such a powerful person should be invincible in the world, and even time could not destroy him."
“But it may not be the work of one person alone.”
Lin You proposed his idea, and Zhang Ze nodded slightly. "Indeed, to accomplish such a thing, relying solely on one person's strength is too illusory. But even if we gather everyone's strength to open such a passage, it should be difficult. Moreover, with such a huge number of boundary eyes, it is an impossible task. Even if it is possible, the time and effort consumed are incalculable. What's the purpose of going to such great lengths to open it?"
"Maybe it's the same as humans creating tools, for convenience and speed."
Lin You speculated, "Opening up the World Eye will also facilitate travel between the various realms. Thinking this way, I always feel that there was an unknown glorious era in the past. The Insect Queen mentioned the ancient times to me before. Could it be related to that era?"
"The young man knows quite a lot."
Zhang Ze smiled, and suddenly raised his hand slightly. Like magic, two apples appeared in his hand.
One of them was thrown to Lin You, "When you are thinking about a problem, you should eat this. It helps to expand your thinking."
Lin You was slightly stunned when he took the apple thrown by the other party.
Does apple have this effect?
No, when a senior takes action, how can we judge by appearances?
Maybe some special supplement.
Thinking of this, Lin You hurriedly thanked him, "Thank you, senior."
Then, take a light bite, and a crispy and sweet taste mixed with rich juice enters your mouth.
It tastes pretty good.
But that seems to be all.
Lin You was a little suspicious. This thing... seemed to be just an apple?
Glancing at Zhang Ze again, he discovered that he had already finished the apple in his hand in no time at all, with a look of satisfaction on his face. "As expected of an apple from the border town, it tastes just as good as always."
“…”
Lin You was speechless. Okay, I was really overthinking it.
This senior... doesn't seem to be playing by the rules!
While I was still complaining, suddenly, the little guy issued a warning.
Lin You's eyes changed slightly and he quickly looked somewhere in front of him, but Zhang Ze had already looked there one step ahead.
He noticed Lin You's eyes and couldn't help but look at him, but quickly looked away.
"Senior, something seems to be coming!"
After a while, someone exclaimed.
Everyone also discovered something unusual one after another. In the distance ahead, a cloud of black smoke was rising.
And the smoke moved at an astonishing speed.
Almost as soon as they met, he appeared in front of everyone from a distant position!
Everyone also saw clearly that there were nearly ten people in the smoke!
The one standing in the center looked extremely strange.
It has a human-like appearance, but has no hair or eyebrows, and its body is extremely thin, as if only a blue skeleton is left.
The dark smoke was rising from this person's body!
There were four people standing on both sides of him.
The four of them were all wearing black duel disks, and there was also a black aura lingering on the duel disks.
Suddenly, an extremely oppressive atmosphere came over me.
The moment that breath emerged, everyone felt as if they were in a boundless abyss, and that abyss was about to swallow them up in the next second.
But at this moment—
A pitch-black figure flew out as fast as thunder.
Before the crowd could even see clearly, they heard a loud bang. The strange-looking guy seemed to be hit by something and flew backwards tens of thousands of meters in an instant!
The oppressive atmosphere also dissipated completely in an instant.
"Remember to behave yourself in front of my Zhang Ze. If you dare to play these boring tricks again, I will not be bound by these boring restrictions anymore and will kill you all directly."
A strange voice that seemed to be a mixture of male and female voices was heard, and everyone noticed the figure.
It was a demon-like creature, with pale red skin, blue lips and pitch-black wings.
He also has different colored hair, purple on the left and white on the right, and his eyes are also different colors, but the left eye is green and the right eye is orange.
What's strange is that there is a vertical mark on the forehead.
What is even more peculiar is its body structure. On one side, it has feminine sexiness and roundness, while on the other side, it exudes masculine strength and power.
The whole person is like a collection of contradictions!
"Yubel, didn't I remind you not to mess around?"
At this moment, Zhang Ze felt very helpless.
