Chapter 612: Actually Giving In
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It was as if an entire continent had smashed into his face and wrapped around him from all directions. The terrifying pressure directly compressed his Treasure Image and he could not break free at all!
“Impossible! Impossible!”
Only at this moment did the silver-haired old man reveal a true expression of fear. His face was filled with disbelief.
BANG!
The silver-haired elder half-opened his Treasure Image body. He could not withstand this terrifying pressure at all and knelt on the ground.
He raised his hands to the sky and tried to lift it up in the posture of the Heavenly King holding a tower. He stood up again.
Bang!
In just a second, not only did he not stand up, he even lay on the ground, completely unable to withstand it!
He kept struggling with his hands and feet, and a terrifying force burst out from his Treasure Image. It even pressed down on the ground of the Spiritual Realm, which was more than a hundred times stronger than the real world, until layers of cracks appeared.
But it was useless!
He could not get up at all!
The Treasure Image all over his body cracked layer by layer, looking extremely miserable!
The bald man and Tang Chen’s eyes were about to pop out. A second ago, the Treasure Tree Realm expert’s aura was monstrous, making their hearts tremble. The man whom they felt they would never be able to match was directly pressed to the ground in a second?!
In just a second!
It was exactly the same feeling as when Tang Chen was crushed previously!
This even gave Tang Chen the illusion that this silver-haired elder looked powerful on the surface, but he was actually a good-for-nothing like himself?
However, when he saw the ground that was a hundred times firmer than reality being casually crushed by the old man, Tang Chen clearly realized that this silver-haired old man’s strength was extraordinary!
But even such a powerful old man couldn’t withstand a single move from Lin Yan?
He couldn’t even make Lin Yan move!
In Tang Chen’s heart, the terrifying answer that he had long eliminated appeared in his mind again.
Could it be that Lin Yan… was really a disciple of the Holy Fan Association?!
On the other side, Chang Ming and the others were naturally much more knowledgeable than Tang Chen and the others!
It was also because of this that their pupils constricted violently, and their faces were filled with disbelief.
In particular, Chang Ming’s expression was incomparably ugly. He could beat a Treasure Tree Realm off with a slap.
However, he could not suppress a Treasure Tree Realm with a slap, making the guy unable to break free or even unleash his Treasure Image!
However, his combat strength evaluation said that he had just reached the City Guard level last month!
It was also because of this that he received the mission of the pre-selection as the assessment officer in his hometown. He returned to his hometown with wealth and glory!
Could it be that… the person in front of him had also reached the City Guard level?!
Since when did City Guards become cabbages that could be seen everywhere?
“No, perhaps it’s a talent Precious Technique…”
“That’s right! It’s too terrifying to do this with spiritual power alone. Not to mention a City Guard, even my cheap senior brother, Zhou Wenlin, might not be able to do it with the combat power of a Star Lord…”
This person who suddenly appeared without any background might be a Star Lord in the Treasure Realm?
It was impossible to nurture a flood dragon in shallow water!
He must have been lucky and condensed some magical innate Precious Technique!
Thinking of this, Chang Ming slowly calmed down and was almost frightened.
Innate Precious Techniques were always abnormally magical. However, as long as he found the solution, he could crack it. Although it was powerful, it was still within the acceptable range.
He also had his own innate Precious Technique that could produce similar powerful effects.
If it was really done by spiritual power, he would suspect that some peerless genius from the Holy Fan Association had descended to the mortal world to play with him.
However, to be able to suppress the Treasure Tree Realm with a palm, such strength was already close to his!
The man was completely qualified to talk to him!
Chang Ming was not an arrogant person. If that was the case, he would not be able to survive in a place like the Holy Fan Association where geniuses gathered.
In the Holy Fan Association, as long as one was strong, they could win respect!
He immediately let go of the woman in his arms.
The teasing in his eyes dissipated and became incomparably solemn. He said solemnly, “Your strength is enough to win my respect. I apologize to you. It’s my fault for insulting you with 1,000 Spirit Coins!”
The middle-aged man and the old man beside him were shocked.
They originally thought that Chang Ming, who had been playing tricks on Tang Chen, was definitely an arrogant and childish person.
Although his status was noble, they did not think highly of Chang Ming from the bottom of their hearts. They felt that he was just lucky, and his mind was not strong.
However, they did not expect that at this moment, Chang Ming did not flare up. Instead, he solemnly admitted defeat to such an unknown fellow!
Lin Yan also paused slightly.
For the first time, he looked Chang Ming in the eye.
With his current spiritual power, he could easily crush a Treasure Seed Realm cultivator to death. However, against a Treasure Image Realm cultivator, he could only severely injure him with such dry pressure and not kill him.
Furthermore, this was the Spiritual Realm. There was no point in suppressing the enemy like this.
Therefore, he loosened his wrist slightly, and the pressure on the silver-haired old man suddenly disappeared.
Cough, cough, cough.
The silver-haired elder crawled up from the ground with difficulty. Every part of his body was in pain. His Treasure Image was also injured.
He stood behind Chang Ming, his eyes filled with shock and fear. He shrank behind and did not dare to speak.
“May 1 know your name?” Chang Ming asked.
“Lin Yan.”
“Lin Yan…” Chang Ming’s eyes flickered for a moment. “Brother Lin, my name is Chang Ming.”
Lin Yan retracted his hand and looked up and down. “You wanted to kill me just now?”
Once he lost his contempt and resumed his mentality in the Holy Fan Association, Chang Ming’s mind and state were completely different.
His expression did not change at all. “Brother Lin, what kind of compensation do you want?”
“How are you going to compensate?”
Chang Ming glanced at Tang Chen. “Even a piece of trash like him is worth 1,000 Spirit Coins. As the pre-selection examiner of the Holy Fan Association, 1 should be worth at least 10,000 Spirit Coins, right?”
After reaching out and clicking a few times…
Ding dong.
10,000 Spirit Coins were transferred to his account.
“It’s just a small token of my appreciation. Take it as an apology and a gesture.”
It was very straightforward.
Lin Yan couldn’t help but look at Chang Ming deeply again. “Are there smart people like you in the Holy Fan Association?”
“In the Holy Fan Association, there are too many people who are smarter than me.”
Lin Yan and Chang Ming looked at each other. Even though they just glanced at each other, the information they exchanged seemed to be infinite.
“In that case, Brother Chang Ming, we’ll meet again in the future.”
“Brother Lin, take care. Until next time.”
Lin Yan turned around and left without looking back.
Chang Ming looked at Lin Yan’s back deeply. There seemed to be countless thoughts floating in the depths of his eyes before they disappeared and turned into a long sigh.
As the examiner, he knew the entire Liu Planet’s assessment list very well.
“If he only passed the initial screening, 1 would have pressed him to death no matter what.
“However, he has passed the preliminaries and his rankings have been recorded in the headquarters.. No matter what, it’s not good to have any crooked thoughts…”
