1651 Brother Lin, which Lin? Liu Yifan nodded when he saw the clash. All of the contestants were elites, and it was hard for them to ignore such a ripe opportunity and decide to trust another person instead. Hence, the best option would be to fight it out. The center of the testing ground would only calm down when someone won out above the rest and secured authority. Soon, Li Nao, Sequence #97 of the original Radiance Hundred Sequence, gained control of the situation. “I am the strongest among everyone here! I am also a power offense-type spirit qi professional with support abilities. Thus, I’ll be able to provide you with antidotes that will be effective against the abyss demons’ fire poison, the acid within the alien insects, and the corrosive poison within the subterranean lifeforms. None of you will be able to defeat me! What we need to do now is work together to build up our defense while we wait for the others to arrive!” Li Nao used to be a Radiance Hundred Sequence member, and many contestants looked up to him. As such, he already had a certain aura of authority about him. Moreover, he had proven himself with his power, so the 53 people present had no choice but to go along with what he said. Although Li Nao sounded polite, he had not held back at all when he battled them. He had used his main fey, the Rotten Spotted Sky-Dog, to take out three of his strongest potential competitors. If anyone dared to say a word against him, he would not hesitate to eliminate them. Thus, when one person voiced his agreement, the other contestants present slowly agreed to join Li Nao’s team. Now that everyone present had agreed to listen to him, Li Nao went on to say, “Since we’re all in agreement, let’s swear on it! Everyone here has comprehended Willpower Runes. But I don’t need you to swear on them, so you don’t have to be worried. All of you can swear on your honor as the Radiance Hundred Sequence contestants! “For the next three days, none of you will betray your teammates, and you will listen to me as your leader. In order to ensure that none of you causes trouble while we’re setting up the defenses, I will remove all uncertain variables so as to ensure everyone’s safety.” Li Nao’s speech was perfect, and everyone was promptly trapped by it. Everyone realized that Li Nao wanted to reign over the central territory. But, he phrased his words as intending to ensure everyone’s safety. Swearing on Willpower Runes was effective within the spiritual spatial zone, and no one would do so flippantly. As such, Li Nao did not request this. Rather, he asked them to publicly swear on their honor as contestants of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. Who would dare to break such a promise? Doing so would be the equivalent of trampling all over that honor, and no one who did that could be accepted as a member of the Radiance Federation. Moreover, Li Nao had even left a way out for himself. He said that betrayals were forbidden for the next three days. This meant that they could start attacking their teammates three days later when the testing ground started to shrink. At first, no one wanted to accept Li Nao’s suggestion. But they were all weaker than him and had no choice. If they did not give in, they would be eliminated. Thus, these contestants decided to think about it from a different perspective. They were the first batch of people to arrive at the center. If they followed Li Nao, they would be like his ministers who were in the inner circle of the central territory. The smartest person raised his hand and performed the swearing. Li Nao said to his first follower, “You will be in charge of organizing everyone when we’re building the defense!” The follower immediately beamed. When everyone else saw how beneficial it was to follow Li Nao, they all started voicing their agreement. With this, the inner circle of the central territory was formed. Li Nao smiled in relief as he looked at the contestants who were already beginning to build the defenses. He felt he was very lucky to have been the first to arrive at the central territory. Amongst the 11 members of the original Radiance Hundred Sequence who were participating in the selection, the first one to arrive at the central territory would be able to receive all the advantages. His team already consisted of more than 50 people, and there would soon be more people arriving to join them. The number of people in his team represented the power he wielded. This power would bring a new sense of security and pressure to the contestants who would be eager to join the group. Even if the other original Radiance Hundred Sequence members arrived, Li Nao had enough subordinates that he was confident that he would not be eliminated. In order to keep themselves from being eliminated, the other original Radiance Hundred Sequence members would have no choice but to join his group. Li Nao felt that as long as the defense they built could last three days, nothing would stop him from returning to the Radiance Hundred Sequence. Many posts regarding Li Nao appeared on Star Web. Despite not being a popular member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, Li Nao’s popularity skyrocketed. This was what it meant for a hero to be a product of circumstances. Feys continued to dig trenches that earth-type feys fortified using various methods. The best option would be to build the defense outward from the center. They would not have to worry about lacking secret weapons, and the members at the center could cover for the members in the outer circles. At that moment, Lin Yuan landed next to Gao Feng and retracted his wings. Gao Feng immediately smiled at Lin Yuan and said, “Brother Lin, you made me wait for so long! Another 15 minutes later, and the first dimensional rift would have opened. If it opened next to me, I would be eliminated immediately!” The moment Gao Feng spoke, he realized that he had misspoken. He slapped his forehead in irritation as he remembered that the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection was being broadcast on Star Web. Every audience member who had chosen his perspective view could hear what he said. Oh my God! Lin Yuan is Black! Gao Feng had no idea how many Star Web users had chosen Lin Yuan’s perspective view. At that moment, Lu Shuang and Poison Beauty’s live-streaming room were full of comments repeating, “Brother Lin?” This was the same case for the posts on Star Web. Brother Lin? Which Lin? Lin was not a common surname, but it was not unheard of either. However, it would be too astonishing for this surname to be linked to Black. For the past six months, Black’s name had been inseparable from someone with the surname Lin. Could it be that Black also had that surname? What a coincidence! How could such a coincidence exist?
