??"

"An eighty percent survival rate, not a death rate, and it's still guaranteed death???"

We're willing to take a ninety percent chance of death, and you're telling me an eighty percent survival rate is guaranteed death? Lin Fan cleared his throat: "I think a ninety-eight percent survival rate is more like it."

"So, with the Sky Gazing Mirror, it should be ninety-eight percent."

We haven't learned from Gu Sheng that a ninety-eight percent chance is still guaranteed death~

Of course, Lin Fan wasn't insisting on obtaining the Sky Gazing Mirror, he just felt that it would be best to have it for the Multiverse Abyss journey.

The unfamiliar territory, the extreme danger, and the opponents being almost of the same level or even higher realms! In this situation, the Sky Gazing Mirror was especially important.

Moreover, they had to search for treasures within?

Whether it was the World Heart or other rare treasures, having the Sky Gazing Mirror would be like having a full map vision. It could automatically mark treasures, enemies, and targets.

It could even alert them if enemies were approaching...

It could perfectly provide the optimal target in real-time.

Not bringing such a valuable item...

That would truly be a waste.

However, bringing it also came with genuine risks.

Lin Fan had some confidence in bringing it out if it were him...

It wasn't that he thought he was that capable, but purely that he was quite 'meaty', and he had many life-saving methods.

Furthermore...

He should indeed be considered a 'lucky charm'?

At least, he was a small lucky charm.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be possible to gather such a large group of main character templates in such a short time!

So...

His luck, life-saving methods, combined with the Sky Gazing Mirror's defense and effects...

Could perfectly complement each other and maximize their potential.

Bringing him along is the best choice!

"What you said does make sense."

Gu Xing Ling sighed lightly, "I am well aware of the Sky Gazing Mirror's effects, but..."

"This matter isn't solely up to me."

"I am the master of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land, the Holy Mother, but the Holy Land is not my sole decision-making body."

"Even if I agree, others may not necessarily approve or agree."

"So..."

"So, I have to 'convince' them?"

Lin Fan understood.

Damn! It seems like he's waiting for me here.

Another common plot twist!

Someone wants my help, but his 'family' looks down on me, treating me with disdain and all sorts of difficulties.

Then, as the 'Dragon King', it's time to start showing off.

The typical routine is to let them go crazy first, then smile wryly, and declare that he's the best.

Next is a bet between the two sides.

If I win, you'll all listen to me~

If I lose, you'll kill me or make me kneel and call you grandpa, etc.

"But something's wrong!"

Lin Fan suddenly froze.

"The plot is familiar, but this is the wry-mouthed Dragon King's storyline."

"I'm not the Dragon King!"

"It shouldn't be like this!"

"Could it be..."

Lin Fan's gaze suddenly locked onto Gu Xing Ling, "Actually, she's the Dragon King???"

"Yes, it must be so!"

"Either she's the Dragon King, or she occasionally 'crashes' the scene, but it's not a big deal. Anyway, I absolutely cannot be the wry-mouthed Dragon King."

"Absolutely!"

"Impossible!"

How could he possibly be the wry-mouthed Dragon King? Right?

...

"So, I ask the Senior Uncles and Senior Grandfathers for their consent." After explaining everything, Gu Xing Ling sought their approval.

Next, as Lin Fan expected.

Not a single person agreed.

In fact, they were almost spitting fire, and they all took turns scolding Gu Xing Ling.

Moreover, someone spoke bluntly, stating that Lin Fan was definitely a fraud, and the reason for his visit and his words were all a ploy to deceive and obtain the Town Teaching Imperial Armament, the Sky Gazing Mirror.

They even told Gu Xing Ling to open her eyes wide and not be fooled by Lin Fan, the con artist.

That attitude...

It's exactly like the wry-mouthed Dragon King's plot, without a doubt!

If it were an ordinary person, or someone unaware of this routine, Lin Fan would have immediately flown into a rage and stormed off. To hell with this Multiverse Abyss!

But...

He knew this was the wry-mouthed Dragon King's plot, and it was so ridiculous.

Listening to their doubts and unfiltered words, Lin Fan not only didn't get angry but even felt like laughing.

He had seen the wry-mouthed Dragon King's plot too many times.

But experiencing it firsthand...

It was indeed his first time.

You bet, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Pfft!"

He couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing?!" One of the Loose Immortals exclaimed.

"Did we say something wrong?"

Lin Fan: "..."

He had wanted to retort directly.

But upon reflection, something was off!

If he retorted directly, wouldn't he become the real wry-mouthed Dragon King?

No way, no way!

He needed to change his approach.

"Er, I remembered something happy."

"What happy news?"

"Did your wife give birth?"

"..."

Lin Fan blinked his eyes.

That’s strange, how did he steal my lines?

"In any case, it's a happy matter. So, you guys can continue?" Lin Fan shrugged.

This left the others completely baffled.

What is he doing?!

We’ve already mocked him to the extreme, and he’s not even angry or lashing out?

Even if he doesn’t lash out and knows he’s not strong enough, he should at least leave in a huff, right?

Do you have no sense of dignity at all?

Under their gazes, Lin Fan remained calm, as if it didn’t matter to him at all.

"..."

"How unreasonable!"

"I see you don't take our words seriously at all."

"Holy Mother, look at the person you’ve chosen!"

"Not only is it unwise to entrust the Sky Gazing Mirror to him, but even bringing him into the Multiverse Abyss was a poor decision. After all, what virtue or ability does he have?"

"..." Gu Xing Lian frowned. "Elder Ancestors, don’t speak too harshly."

"I know Lin Fan very well. Though young, his character, temperament, and strength are all top-notch. I’ve sparred with him, and I can assure you, every word I’ve said is true!"

"Top-notch, huh? Haha." Someone sneered. "At just over thirty years old, what strength could he have? His cultivation is probably all artificially enhanced and forcibly infused, right?"

"Since you say he’s so powerful, then let’s make a bet!"

"Let this kid fight one of us. If he wins, we’ll apologize to him and do as you say."

"But if he loses, what then?"

"If he loses..."

Gu Xing Lian frowned. "The journey into the Multiverse Abyss will be entirely under your command!"

"Good~!"

In a few words, the wager was set.

Lin Fan watched from the side, utterly speechless.

What, what, what~!

What is this even?

I haven’t done anything, not even made a sound, and you guys have already pushed the plot to the end, directly betting and getting ready to fight?

Isn’t this... forcing me to go through the Wry-Mouthed Dragon King plot?

For a moment, Lin Fan was speechless.

"I’ll take it!"

A powerhouse from the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land slowly stepped forward from the crowd.

Everyone nodded.

"Your involvement is certainly no problem."

"Though you’re not a Scatter Immortal, you’ve been at this realm for many years, reaching the absolute peak. You’ve even pushed yourself to the brink to suppress your realm, and even a Seventh Tribulation Scatter Immortal might not be your match. Dealing with him is an overkill."

"Indeed."

"Kid, it’s not too late to back out."

Lin Fan: "..."

"I didn’t say I wanted to fight."

He was speechless.

He wanted to break the ‘curse’ of the Wry-Mouthed Dragon King plot.

But Gu Xing Lian immediately huffed, "The outcome is yet to be determined. Who will laugh last is still uncertain!"

Without waiting for Lin Fan to speak, she took a step back and whispered in his ear, "Don’t hold back or give me face. Show them your strength."

Lin Fan: "..."

"Ah?!"

Just as he was about to ask a few questions, Gu Xing Lian’s delicate hand pushed him forward.

Lin Fan: "Uh."

"Kid."

The woman with a somber air said coolly, "Make your move."

"Don’t worry, though I disagree with Gu Xing Lian’s suggestion, I don’t think you’re a wicked person. I’ll only teach you a lesson and won’t take your life."

"Of course, if you see the error of your ways and confess your plans, I can let you go. What do you say?"

Before Lin Fan could respond, Gu Xing Lian shouted from the sidelines, "Lin Fan, make your move!"

"Show them your strength!"

Lin Fan: "..."

I really appreciate it!

He glared at Gu Xing Lian and sighed, "Then I’ll have to ask for your guidance, Elder."

He prepared to make his move.

But for a moment, he hesitated.

How much force should he use?

But then he remembered Gu Xing Lian’s reminder and her terrifying strength when they sparred.

Back then, even when he went all out, she still handled him with ease.

This ‘Ancestor’ in front of him might be slightly weaker than Gu Xing Lian, but only slightly.

Though his realm had significantly improved, he didn’t share the cultivation of his disciples at this moment...

So, if he held back, he might really be beaten and mocked. Wouldn’t all the talk with Gu Xing Lian be in vain then?

Therefore, he couldn’t hold back.

He had to go all out!

Hmm...

But not to the point of risking his life.

Just...

All out in his normal state.

"Immortal Fire Nine Transformations."

Swish!

Lin Fan instantly activated the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations.

His realm was still at the peak of the Ninth Stage, but his aura and combat power soared several times.

Then, he used the Xing Character Secret Technique, forming a fist seal.

Almost instantly, he appeared in front of the opponent like a ghost, delivering a Kunpeng Fist to her chest.

This move stunned everyone.

"Huh? What incredible speed!"

"Yeah, such speed would indeed be useful for escaping."

"Unfortunately, what good is speed alone? Watch Zhou Yan easily block... Wait, that’s the Kunpeng Technique!"

"Zhou Yan, be careful!!!"

The initially calm crowd was instantly alarmed when they saw the Kunpeng shadow flash behind Lin Fan.

Zhou Yan, who was directly in the line of fire, saw it even more clearly!

Actually, she had been quite relaxed until then.

But facing Lin Fan, she could truly feel his overwhelming strength.

When Lin Fan activated the Immortal Fire Nine Transformations, her expression changed.

Because she felt the pressure from Lin Fan's body! That was... no weaker than the momentum of her full power!

So in that instant, Zhou Yan had already quietly activated her entire body's strength, preparing herself.

After all...

If things went wrong, it wouldn't look good.

But who knew...

Even though she had already held Lin Fan in high regard, at this moment, she realized she had underestimated him! His speed was so fast that she couldn't keep up.

She couldn't even dodge and could only barely lift her hands to block.

Fortunately, she had secretly activated her entire body's strength beforehand.

So, even if it was a bit rushed, it shouldn't be too bad...

What?!

Suddenly, her eyes bulged.

It was then that she realized that Lin Fan wasn't just fast; this seemingly '0-frame start' punch was actually the Kunpeng Technique and Kunpeng Fist!

Too bad, it was too late!

Boom!

The punch landed.

Zhou Yan's blocking arms were instantly blasted open, and at the same time, her middle gate was wide open!

Then, the punch continued forward.

Crack!

Her protective Immortal Energy shattered in response, not even blocking for a thousandth of a second.

Boom!

Her protective Magical Treasure appeared.

But it only appeared for an instant before being directly blasted by the punch, emitting a wailing sound and shrinking back into Zhou Yan's body.

Then, the punch solidly landed on her chest.

Boom! Whoosh!

Zhou Yan was like a human cannonball, instantly flying back an unknown number of tens of thousands of miles, almost directly flying out of the forbidden area of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land!

Along the way, she crashed through dozens of mountains and countless trees.

"Wow!"

When she finally stopped, she was deeply embedded in a giant rock, and a mouthful of fresh blood suddenly sprayed from her mouth.

At this moment.

Her face was extremely unsightly.

The pain in her chest was indescribable.

Injuries...

All her internal organs were damaged!

Her chest ribs were all shattered.

Even...

The pair of Great Dao principles she was proud of were also deformed, almost bursting!

Zhou Yan: "!!!"

She wanted to struggle.

But she found that after this punch, all her Immortal Energy was scattered! It would be difficult to gather it in a short time!

She was stunned.

How is this possible?!

A young man in his thirties has such strength?!

She couldn't understand.

But this was the truth; it happened to her, a personal experience!

"!!!"

Zhou Yan's head buzzed, and she could only force herself to struggle with her physical body, barely maintaining some composure, and said, "That's enough."

"This matter, let's follow the Holy Mother's instructions."

After saying this, she disappeared with a flash.

She couldn't stay any longer!

What if others saw that she was deformed from the punch...

Would she still have the face to live?!!! Although she was old, she was still a woman! And she had always maintained her youthful appearance; even after hundreds of thousands of years, she was still as beautiful and delicate as a young girl! How could she lose face?

At the same time.

The big shots of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land: "(ΩДΩ)???!?!"

Gu Xinglian: "Σ(⊙▽⊙)a!!?"

Lin Fan: "(⊙_⊙) Ah?!"

Everyone was stunned.

The big shots never expected Lin Fan to be so strong, and they never thought that this gambling fight would end with such a conclusion.

Gu Xinglian was also stunned!

She knew Lin Fan was strong, and the current Lin Fan was probably no longer weaker than her! But the result...

How could this be weaker than her?!

Lin Fan was even more stunned!

"That's not right!"

"Even if she's a bit weaker than Gu Xinglian, it shouldn't be to the extent of being beaten like this by my punch, right?"

"This..."

"Something's wrong!"

"It's nine out of ten times wrong."

"Could it be..."

"Was she doing it on purpose?!"

Suddenly, Lin Fan understood.

Yes, if she was doing it on purpose, wouldn't everything be clear?

"So, they must have agreed to Gu Xinglian's proposal long ago, right?"

"They probably thought that if they just agreed like this, it would seem too hasty, and if the Sky Gazing Mirror was lost in the Multiverse Abyss, they would all be responsible!"

"After all, they didn't fulfill their duty to dissuade."

"And after this fuss..."

"They could be persuaded."

"And they persuaded them very 'forcefully,' even betting and fighting with me."

"But, alas, they couldn't handle it due to insufficient strength, so they had no choice but to reluctantly agree..."

"This way, even if the Sky Gazing Mirror is truly lost, they won't be blamed."

"Gu Xinglian?"

"Then they won't be blamed at all."

"After all, if the Sky Gazing Mirror is lost, it also means that I and Gu Xinglian are both gone..."

"!!!"

"So that's how it is!"

"Good!!!

Lin Fan looked at Gu Xinglian and the other big shots of the Ten Thousand Flowers Holy Land, his eyes spinning.

"So, they must have planned this together, plotting against me, right? The reason I punched her away was entirely because she didn't use much strength and did it on purpose!"

"Good, good, good!"

"So this is how you play, huh?"

Marvelous!

His mind was extremely active, instantly imagining countless scenarios.

But he didn't know...

Everyone else was serious.

It was precisely because of this that, even at this moment, Gu Xinglian's head was still buzzing, and she couldn't fully react.

"This... pervert."

"No, what kind of pervert is he?"

"How long has it been?"

"And even though I knew he was a pervert and had already overestimated him..."

"But the strength he displayed at this moment is still a bit too perverted, right?!"

Gu Xinglian almost felt like she was dreaming.

This strength...

It was probably already beyond her!
