Chapter 693: 489. Big radish, back to South Rock City!

Lin Da: “You two, do you know why I asked you to come here?”

“No idea.” Taige knelt on the sofa, speaking honestly.

Mingli shook her head too.

The scene at this moment somewhat resembled a violent organization capturing a frail young girl.

Lulu and Tasya formed a circle around them, their eyes fiercely fixed on Taige and his companion.

Lin sat in the chief seat, his expression calm.

“Really, really don’t know wow!”

Taige was on the verge of tears.

“Since you don’t know, then let me tell you. Become a member of the Phoenix Tail Flower Adventure Team, and work desperately for me!

Of course, you must also keep my secrets.

If they are leaked, you two won’t end well.”

Hearing this, you might think, ‘How miserable I am to end up with such a devilish captain.’

But in fact, everyone knows that I have a good reputation; I am a nice person.

As long as you work peaceably at Phoenix Tail Flower, I promise you…”

As he spoke, Lin Da paused, and an indescribable aura erupted from within him, as if thousands of troops were surging forward.

“Do you want to become strong? Do you want to see the view from the 50th floor? Do you want those ‘Five-star members’ who once looked down on you to drop their jaws in astonishment?

Then work devotedly for Phoenix Tail Flower.

The captain is clear on rewards and punishments; he won’t mistreat any team member!

I assure you, there are places for the two of you in the adventure team that will reach the top of World Tree!”

A tempting large pie gradually took shape under Lin Da’s description.

“5, 50 floors? Even a big shot like Coldmoon Duke has only been past the 40th floor, am I really capable?” Taige muttered.

Mingli also showed a stirred expression.

No adventurer doesn’t long for the top of World Tree.

“You can definitely do it; in my eyes, your talent is no weaker than ‘Cold Moon Fire’ Evelyn,” Lin Da praised.

“Is that so?! Am I really that powerful?” Taige excitedly swung his tail, messing up the cushions on the sofa.

“When I become a legendary adventurer, I can take on the giant dragons in the sky, and even cook them to see what dragon meat tastes like!”

“About that…”

Mingli timidly said: “If we are really that strong, why, why abandon us?”

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

Indeed, if they were as powerful as Lin Da seen them, why imprison Taige and kick out Mingli?

It’s a contradiction, isn’t it.

Lin Da sighed deeply: “The captain’s good intentions, you don’t understand… After all, this is not a request, but a command. If you dare to refuse, the small black room awaits you.”

“Hmm–” Taige scratched his head vigorously.

“It seems you still don’t trust me in your hearts. It’s understandable; a 46-level adventurer claiming to lead you to the top floor seems like a fool’s dream,”

Lin Da said lightly: “Let me show you my ‘normal state’ strength first. If the normal me is this strong, naturally, you don’t need to worry about my Dark Shadow state.”

“Mm-hmm.” Taige thought it made sense.

A moment later, everyone arrived at the training ground.

“Taige, you first.”

Lin Da stood on the smooth faux-wood flooring at the center of the ground, calmly pulling out his Serpent Shadow Patterned Sword.

Under the stimulation of magic power, a brilliant purple light burst from the blade, and upon unsheathing, it was as if a giant dragon awakened from slumber, roaring skyward.

“The enhancement rank is so high!”

Being a worldly tiger, Taige’s expression changed.

“I am also level 46, with legendary armor, I won’t lose to him!”

Though he couldn’t overcome the Dark Shadow, Taige was confident in battling the normal state Eye of True Knowledge Lin Da.

Her legendary armor, called [Beast Face Armor], significantly boosted her strength and defense.

After many blessings from the Goddess, the Beast Face Armor’s enhancement rank had reached 22, not inferior to Lin’s sword.

“I’ll set an example for Mingli, squash this bad egg’s arrogance!”

Taige pounded her chest and used the skill [Fighting Spirit].

A red glow emanated from her body, slightly increasing her own attack.

“Here I go!”

Taige abruptly twisted her waist, exploding a white air wave on the spot, and struck with the move [Furious Tiger Fist]!

“Fragile Aura.”

Lin Da snapped his fingers, and a purple energy wave swept across a thirty-meter radius.

Taige, charging directly, only felt a slight pain in her head, and then noticed fine cracks appearing on the faint red Life Barrier.

What is this?

Taige wondered in confusion.

Little did she know that it was Lin Da’s Poison Series rare technique, Fragile Aura. Enemies within the aura would be afflicted with [Fragility], increasing the damage they take by 30%.

Instantly, Lin Da’s figure flashed, and the Serpent Shadow Patterned Sword drew a stunning purple trail, like a meteor from heaven, colliding head-on with Taige!

Rare technique, Magic Flame Strike!

The most terrifying part was, besides Anna, no one on the scene could keep up with Lin Da’s speed.

“When did he get here?”

Taige’s tail bristled instantly.

Woosh!

A cold wind swept by.

A lock of red hair fell from Taige’s forehead.

“Do you accept it now?”

Lin Da sheathed his sword, smiling faintly.

Even Lin Da himself hadn’t expected to win the bout this easily.

It was certainly because Taige underestimated the opponent and didn’t know the characteristics of Magic Flame Strike, but at the root, it was Lin Da’s overwhelming strength.

Without a solid foundation, no amount of trickery could defeat Taige.

As Lin Da leisurely sheathed his sword, Taige remained stunned, still immersed in the aftermath of the battle.

“So fast, too fast! This skill seems even more useful than boss’s previous [Magic Flame Flash]!”

Dark Shadow’s Magic Flame Flash was an Ultimate Skill, releasing three bursts in succession without any pause in between, relatively limited in applicable scope.
