“Everyone, introduce yourselves to our new brother here. From now on, we’re family. Together, we will defeat the Gu Clan and liberate the entire Gu Sheng Realm to create a harmonious future!” Xia Zehua declared loudly, one hand holding a large chunk of meat, which he swallowed in one bite.
“I’m Zhu Yun from the Water Realm. I’m a scout of the Justice Squad,” said a thin man in the front, joyfully chewing on a piece of fatty meat.
“I’m He Chenghan from the War Realm. I’m a fighter in the Justice Squad,” said a young man beside Zhu Yun, grinning as he balanced a large hammer on his shoulder.
…
Lin Fan nodded as he watched everyone introduce themselves. People from different realms and races had now gathered together to fight against the Gu Clan.
“I’m Mu Liang from the Horn Realm. I’m actually on the wanted list,” said Mu Liang, proudly displaying the single horn on his head.
“You little brat, showing off again. Ever since you got lucky and killed a Gu Clan squad leader, you’ve been bragging non-stop. It’s really embarrassing for our Justice Squad, Lin Brother. Please don’t take it to heart; this guy just loves to show off,” Xia Zehua said, though he was secretly happy because every member of their squad had their own important role.
“The wanted list?” This was the second time Lin Fan had heard about it. “Brother Xia, what exactly is this wanted list?”
“Oh right, Lin Brother just ascended not long ago, so you probably don’t know. The wanted list records anyone who has killed members of the Gu Clan. The will of the Gu Sheng Realm senses these killings and eventually transmits the information to the Gu Clan’s headquarters, where it is recorded and released throughout the Gu Sheng Realm.”
“The will of the Gu Sheng Realm is truly despicable. This is basically making it impossible for those resisting the Gu Clan to hide. If someone captures a person on the wanted list and turns them over to the Gu Clan, they will receive a reward. And if the Gu Clan kills someone on the wanted list, they receive a power infusion from the will of the Gu Sheng Realm,” Xia Zehua said angrily, though he could do nothing about it. Clearly, this was an unfair battle.
“I see,” Lin Fan said, now understanding.
“Lin Brother, look,” Xia Zehua said, pulling out a booklet from his storage ring. “This is the wanted list, recording everyone who has been marked.”
With a flick of his finger, a dense array of content appeared.
“These are the rankings. The first page lists the most wanted individuals. Each of them is a hero in the eyes of the various races,” Xia Zehua explained.
Lin Fan took the booklet and began to examine it carefully.
The first twenty names on the first page were unfamiliar to Lin Fan, but there were introductions and the times they had ascended to the Gu Sheng Realm.
“Look, if I enter my name, I can find my own record,” Xia Zehua said, inputting his name, which caused the wanted list to change dramatically.
“Xia Zehua, Wing Race, killed two Gu Clan squad leaders and sixty Gu Clan soldiers, reward: Gu Clan squad leader position, rank 45,002,120.”
Lin Fan looked at this line of text. The race was clearly stated, as well as the details of the Gu Clan members he had killed, and the reward was also clearly written, even including a ranking. In Lin Fan’s eyes, the will of the Gu Sheng Realm was indeed impressive.
“Hehe… Lin Brother, you see, the entire Gu Sheng Realm isn’t just us fighting against the Gu Clan. There are many others like us resisting the Gu Clan. However, the number of Gu Clan members is too vast. Even the number of people who have ascended from the Great Thousand Races cannot match even one percent of the Gu Clan,” Xia Zehua explained.
“Take a look at mine,” Mu Liang said, stepping forward and entering his name.
“Mu Liang, Horn Race, killed one Gu Clan squad leader and thirty Gu Clan soldiers, reward: one Gu Clan member, rank 130,521,432.”
Seeing his ranking, Mu Liang proudly raised his head. “See that? This is my ranking. Although it’s low, I’ve made quite a bit of progress. As long as I kill more Gu Clan members, my ranking will rise even higher.”
“You little brat, getting proud again. I’ve told you countless times, don’t be arrogant, be humble,” Xia Zehua said, feigning anger at Mu Liang’s pride.
“Yes, Captain…” Mu Liang replied, lowering his head.
“How did you get this wanted list?” Lin Fan asked, looking at the booklet in their hands with curiosity.
“When we ascended, it was already there, placed inside the storage ring, Lin Brother, didn’t you know?” Xia Zehua said.
“Er…” Lin Fan was momentarily stunned, then looked at his storage ring. He hadn’t checked it in a long time and hadn’t paid attention to it. Now, upon opening his storage ring, he saw a small booklet quietly lying there, prompting Lin Fan to sigh in resignation.
“This?” Lin Fan asked, taking out the palm-sized booklet from his storage ring.
“Yes, that’s it,” Xia Zehua nodded.
“Have you killed any Gu Clan members?” Mu Liang asked, looking at Lin Fan. In the squad, his ranking was the lowest, so naturally, he wanted to show off in front of the new member.
“I have,” Lin Fan nodded. He just couldn’t remember exactly how many he had killed; suffice it to say, it was a lot.
“Captain, let’s check it out,” Mu Liang said with a grin.
“You think I don’t know what’s on your mind?” Xia Zehua looked at Mu Liang, fully aware of the young man’s intentions. He just wanted to show off in front of the new recruit.
“If you don’t check, I will,” Mu Liang was determined to check. If he couldn’t show off in front of the new recruit, what fun would there be in life?
Without waiting for the captain to say more, Mu Liang took out his wanted list and entered Lin Fan’s name.
Mu Liang happily waited, confident that the new recruit’s ranking would be far behind his own. After all, he had killed a Gu Clan squad leader and thirty Gu Clan soldiers. With such an achievement, how could a newly ascended person possibly match him?
However, when Mu Liang saw the wanted list’s description, he was completely stunned, even forgetting what he had intended to say next.
“What’s wrong with you, kid?” Xia Zehua saw Mu Liang standing motionless and sighed. This kid was just too much to handle.
He hoped he hadn’t embarrassed the new recruit too much. Although not having killed any Gu Clan members was indeed a shame for people of the various races, they were now all family, so how could they act like this?
“You’ve gone too far, kid. Otherwise, I’ll be really angry,” Xia Zehua said, seeing Mu Liang with his mouth wide open, thinking he was about to boast about his achievements in front of Lin Fan, trying to show off how powerful he was.
Such disharmonious behavior must be stopped.
“No, Captain, look…” At this moment, Mu Liang snapped out of his shock and, with a bewildered expression, turned the wanted list around.
“You…” Xia Zehua sighed and walked over.
The other squad members around them were smiling as well. The kid’s acting skills were getting more exaggerated.
They just hoped the new recruit wouldn’t take offense. After all, Mu Liang didn’t have any bad intentions; it was just his personality.
“What…?”
At this moment, Xia Zehua suddenly gasped in shock, staring at Lin Fan in disbelief.
He hadn’t expected a great expert to be so low-key.
