The expression of Bhagavat Sakyamuni changed slightly. He took a step forward, raised his eyes toward Lin Fan with a faint smile on his lips, and said, “Only this humble monk truly understands you at this crucial moment.”
Lin Fan shivered involuntarily, feeling that the monk’s gaze had been somewhat unsettling.
“Venerable layman,” Sakyamuni said calmly yet shockingly, “this humble monk believes the Azure Emperor isn’t worthy of becoming a servant to our Rebel Army.” His words stunned everyone present.
It was a slap in the face.
Who was the Azure Emperor? A mighty warrior at the eighth level of the Divine Heaven, a Divine Pill Master, and the leader of one of the top three teams in the Guardian Realm. Regardless of anything else, making him a servant would be a matter of pride.
The Rebel Army members were astonished, puzzled by their vice-captain’s words. Why wouldn’t the mighty Azure Emperor be qualified?
“What do you mean?” Lin Fan feigned confusion, asking with a puzzled tone.
“Captain, what kind of force is our Rebel Army? We are the ones who suppress the Thunder King, bearing a tremendous responsibility. Although the Azure Emperor is strong, he still falls short in many aspects,” Sakyamuni explained.
Upon hearing this, the Rebel Army members lifted their heads proudly, filled with pride.
If even the mighty Azure Emperor wasn’t worthy of being a servant, then becoming a member of the Rebel Army must be an extraordinary honor.
“Hmm, that makes sense. Then let’s forget about it,” Lin Fan nodded slightly, then turned to the Azure Emperor, “You’re lucky this time because you’re too weak to be considered by our Rebel Army. In the future, you should know better who you can provoke and who you cannot.”
“You…” The Azure Emperor nearly spat out blood in fury, never expecting to be humiliated once again by the Rebel Army.
Lin Fan looked around. The surrounding crowd stood silently, eyes filled with shock. Then he waved his hand and said, “Let’s go.”
“Damn it, let me go!” The Supervisor roared furiously, bound tightly by the Guardian Spirit, unable to move or change the situation.
Rustling!
With heads held high, the Rebel Army marched proudly, and the crowd parted a path for them. They had truly witnessed the might of the Rebel Army.
Everyone in the Guardian Realm now understood that the Rebel Army had become a powerful team not easily challenged.
“If even the Azure Emperor was defeated, which team could possibly rival the Rebel Army?”
“I wonder how the Primordial Chaos Squad would fare?”
“I think even the Primordial Chaos Squad wouldn’t stand a chance. The Rebel Army has already established itself and cannot be shaken.”
The Azure Emperor’s eyes burned with fury as he let out a long roar to vent his frustration. In the eyes of others, he was pitiful, having lost all dignity overnight. How could he face anyone in the Guardian Realm ever again?
The incident at the Mission Plaza spread like wildfire.
Within a short time, everyone in the Guardian Realm had heard of the Rebel Army.
They didn’t know how this Rebel Army had emerged so suddenly, defeating the Azure Emperor, the Fierce Dragon Squad, and the Sword God Squad. To everyone, it was an explosive event.
…
“You young rascal, don’t pull stunts like this anymore,” Feng Qingzi approached Lin Fan. He was exasperated by his apprentice’s knack for stirring up trouble.
Still, Feng Qingzi was quite surprised.
The Azure Emperor was talented, yet he couldn’t withstand even three moves from his apprentice. That was terrifying.
“You finally decided to show up, huh? What kind of master doesn’t even give me anything?” In the Divine Sea, Lin Fan faced Feng Qingzi, clearly displeased.
“Tsk tsk, my disciple, you were the one who said, ‘A teacher shows the way, but cultivation depends on the individual,’ weren’t you? Why are you blaming me now?” Feng Qingzi chuckled.
“Come on, Master, you dare say that? You tricked me! These two storage rings are completely empty!” Lin Fan exclaimed.
Feng Qingzi smiled slightly, “When did I ever say there was anything in the storage rings?”
For a moment, Lin Fan was speechless. He had been tricked by the old man. Fortunately, the old man still had some decency and gave him face when it mattered.
“Now that you’ve formed your own squad, you should have a base. With your current contribution points, you wouldn’t be able to get one on your own. But since I’m your master, I should give you a little help,” Feng Qingzi said, flicking his sleeve. A streak of light flew toward Lin Fan.
“Thank you, Master,” Lin Fan smiled slightly, looking at the token in his hand.
“Master, how about some treasures?” Lin Fan seized the opportunity. Missing a chance would be foolish. At this moment, he wanted to get as much as he could.
“Oh dear! Master has a bit of a headache and needs to go rest. Take care of yourself, and don’t miss me,” Feng Qingzi said, holding his head and waving his hand before instantly leaving.
“This old man…” Lin Fan sighed. What a swindler.
“Venerable layman, where should we go now?” Bhagavat Sakyamuni asked.
Lin Fan smiled calmly and shook the token in his hand, “Let’s go to our base.”
…
Upon arriving at the base, Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction at the surroundings.
In the Guardian Realm, Lin Fan needed to accomplish something significant. Contribution points could be exchanged for items, which suited him well. The only thing left to do now was to earn more contribution points.
“Gather all the members. We’re going to do something big,” Lin Fan ordered.
“Yes, Captain,” Zhao Xiaomao, now Lin Fan’s loyal follower, was naturally thrilled at the prospect of a big task.
At the base plaza,
Over a hundred members stood in orderly formation. Lin Fan stood on the platform, with Bhagavat Sakyamuni beside him.
Looking at the squad that had now taken shape, Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction.
The Rebel Army members gazed at Lin Fan, their idol and captain. Joining the Rebel Army was an immense honor for them.
Lin Fan coughed lightly, “Now that the Rebel Army is formed, we must do something significant. Starting with Zhao Xiaomao, go to the Mission Plaza and take every mission rated as Earth or higher. We Rebel Army will take on all missions, big or small.”
“Yes, Captain!” The Rebel Army members shouted enthusiastically.
“Good. Starting tomorrow, the Rebel Army officially sets sail. And you should also let those around you know that the Rebel Army welcomes everyone. Join us and reach the pinnacle of life,” Lin Fan declared. He was determined to expand the Rebel Army. As for strong individuals, it didn’t matter to Lin Fan.
Even if they were strong, could they rival him?
Even if they were weak, Lin Fan could train them into geniuses.
