Chapter 45

Li Yao looked up toward the source of the voice.

Behind Yan Yan Xinghong, an endless sea of fire burned, and a monstrous aura shrouded the surroundings.

If it weren’t for the two old men beside him, he would have rushed over to kill Li Yao on the spot.

Li Yao looked at Yan Yan Xinghong calmly, so calmly that it was as if Yan Yan Gaojie hadn’t been killed by him.

He said nothing.

He just nodded slightly to the two old men who had blocked Yan Yan Xinghong as a sign of thanks.

Afterward, he left the place without looking back.

Everyone looked at Li Yao’s figure and the furious Yan Yan Xinghong nearby, not daring to breathe a word.

Qin Qin Xuehou stared at the long blade in his hand, his expression heavy.

Those two shocking damage values...

Did his own blade really have a chance of winning?

As someone who had changed jobs early, facing ordinary professionals should have been a dimensional strike.

But the image of Li Yao piercing Yan Yan Gaojie’s brow lingered in his mind.

It was like a towering mountain; the sense of powerlessness that arose spontaneously made him unable to muster the fighting spirit to climb over it.

Zhang Zhang Yucheng, known as the ‘Little Sword Head’ of the Dragon Kingdom, had discovered a clue from Li Yao’s battle just now.

Based on his perception, he could almost be certain that after Li Yao activated [Shackles], other than his strength attribute, his other attributes were only within the normal range.

If that was all, he only needed to be careful of that stealth skill; with his speed, he would have the confidence to deal with Li Yao.

However, what truly puzzled him was:

Yan Yan Gaojie’s SS-grade attack was something even he wouldn’t dare to take head-on; how did Li Yao manage to be completely unharmed?

An invincibility skill?

That was the only explanation.

Even if Zhang Zhang Yucheng racked his brains, he would never imagine that Li Yao possessed the Chess Player talent.

Thinking of this,

Zhang Zhang Yucheng categorized Li Yao’s strength in his heart.

Right, he also had a summoned beast.

Zhang Zhang Yucheng measured silently.

He surpassed ordinary SS-grade professionals but didn’t reach his own level.

He didn’t underestimate Li Yao in the slightest.

In his eyes, Li Yao had only changed jobs for a few days and could reach this level; it was already an unprecedented achievement.

Lin Lao’s praise was well-deserved.

Li Yao, he could truly change the landscape for Summoners.

After today, no one could underestimate this Summoner from a remote place!

In the distance,

Kijo Misase and her guard stood quietly under a tree, watching Li Yao’s departing back.

“Bai Yu.”

“Yes.”

“Within three days, prepare an SS-grade summoning skill book for me.”

“Miss!”

The guard Bai Yu’s expression froze.

“Three days for an SS-grade, even our Kijo family...”

“No.”

“I want an SSS-grade. At any cost, an SSS-grade summoning skill book.”

Kijo Misase’s expression was unprecedentedly serious.

“I am determined to have Li Yao-kun!”

As Li Yao walked away,

everyone finally caught their breath and began to whisper.

“He just killed him? That was Yan Yan Gaojie! The Yan family’s treasure, an SS-grade professional!”

“He killed him, so what? Didn’t you see how Yan Yan Gaojie pushed Li Yao? Someone like that is a parasite even if he isn’t killed!”

“No, you guys still have time to worry about Yan Yan Gaojie? The damage! That ten-thousand-plus damage!? Is Li Yao level 40 already?”

“Are you kidding? He changed jobs three days ago; even if monsters stood in front of him in a line waiting to be killed, he couldn’t reach level 40!”

“One can only say Yan Yan Gaojie didn’t die unjustly; if Li Yao is given time, he’ll probably be another figure like the Little Sword Head.”

“You’re right; as long as he doesn’t die young, Li Yao is definitely the next Zhang Zhang Yucheng. No! Even stronger than Zhang Zhang Yucheng!”

“But now that he’s killed Yan Yan Gaojie, will the Yan family dare to let him grow? Once a figure like this grows up, the Yan family probably won’t be able to sleep at night.”

“Still too impulsive. If it were me, I’d at most teach Yan Yan Gaojie a lesson; that way, even the Yan family couldn’t do anything to him. In the current situation, the Yan family will probably be at odds with him until death.”

“Impulsive? I don’t think so. If it weren’t for General Wu and Qin Qin Xuehou speaking up, Li Yao probably wouldn’t have killed anyone.”

“And facing Yan Yan Xinghong’s harsh words, Li Yao didn’t say a word and just walked away; he’s probably already gone to the Federation to seek protection.”

“Exactly, that’s the right way. A gentleman’s revenge is not too late in ten years; as long as he can develop, even the Yan family won’t be Li Yao’s match!”

On one side was a prestigious family, on the other a Summoner who had just changed jobs.

In the past, no one would have compared the two.

But now, everyone present didn’t think there was anything wrong with that statement; they even felt it was only natural.

Just as everyone was whispering, thinking Li Yao was going to endure,

a clear voice came from the dense forest in the distance.

“I have three First Clear treasure chests.”

“I won’t open one of them; I’m only using it to trade for one thing.”

“The head of a Yan family member.”

“I am Passerby A, not Li Yao. Whoever has the goods can come find me at any time.”

“Whoever has more goods and more weight, the treasure chest is theirs.”

Silence.

Unprecedented silence!

Li Yao’s words were like a heavy hammer, thudding into everyone’s hearts.

A few seconds later,

Yan Yan Xinghong’s impotent, furious voice rang out.

“Animal! You really deserve to die!”

“Wu Wu Yuanqu, you heard it; this is issuing a malicious bounty right in front of you.”

“Does the Law Enforcement Bureau manage this?”

Yan Yan Xinghong stared at Wu Wu Yuanqu and questioned him.

Wu Wu Yuanqu was righteous:

“Brother Yan, you tell me who Passerby A is, and I’ll notify the Law Enforcement Bureau to arrest this person right now!”

“Fuck!”

Half an hour later,

Li Yao arrived at the Star Network Exchange at the border of Nancheng.

Even the Yan family wouldn’t dare to cause trouble on the Star Network.

The first thing he did on the Star Network

was to notify his parents to take everyone from the Silver Wolf Guild they could trust and move into the Star Network.

Don’t go anywhere except to grind instances.

Although Li Yang was puzzled, he knew the situation was urgent and hung up the phone to make arrangements.

For the Silver Wolf Guild, this wasn’t a difficult task.

They were already focused on clearing instances; the only change was an extra expense for moving into the Star Network.

With Li Yao’s current net worth, it was just a drop in the bucket.
