Chapter 2182

The clamor inside the HK arena seemed to have nothing to do with them.

If a third party noticed this inconspicuous troll squad, they would probably be astonished to discover.

Exactly thirteen troll High Level members, at this moment, as if a pause button had been pressed, all looked toward the same position on the ranking list.

With each jump in the ranking, their hearts seemed to jump along.

Never before seen such a rhythmic rise; for a moment, in the eyes of many troll Star Destroyers, this was not Lin An charging the rankings, but them drawing ever closer to hope! They were reaching the summit!

Even the Great Elder, as strong as the Shattered Star Peak, couldn't help but clench his fists tightly, forcing himself to stay calm.

The slap came too fast, the surprise came too fast! He couldn't even imagine what Lin An was doing inside the battlefield!

Forty thousand and one..!

Thirty-nine thousand!! Damn it! It dropped back again!

Hold on..! Stay within forty thousand!! Damn it, hold on for me!!

The voice sounded as if squeezed out of the throat; a troll responsible for the Frontline battle had his eyes almost popping out! Although the ranking seemed to be steadily rising, the margin was not large, and it would often be temporarily overtaken by others amid fluctuations.

At this moment, he even wanted to reach out and drag that damned ranking up!

Forty thousand rank, thirty thousand rank, this is two completely different dividing lines.

The former merely represents that there is still hope, able to barely hold on until the final summit moment. The latter means exceeding the average level, especially since they have always doubted Lin An's team, with only Lin An himself possessing tremendous combat strength!

If anyone present is the most excited, without a doubt it is the High Level who knows the Frontline situation best, as well as Gu Ye Shan.

All that could be seen was him, who had been left speechless by Gu Lun's rebuttal, now strutting like a proud rooster, wishing he could press Gu Lun's head and make him widen his eyes to see just how ridiculous he is!

「Gu Lun sir, I think this is enough to prove everything, right？？」

「It's not a sneak attack kill! Not sheer luck! Not being caught and made a fat sheep! Lin An is relying on his own strength to charge the rankings! 」

「At this speed, they must have run into another team! And they must be crushing them, in pursuit of the enemy! 」

Although he still couldn't understand how Lin An did it, in Gu Ye Shan's self‑fabricated imagination, he even envisioned Lin An calm and composed, transformed into feeding the top‑tier warriors, a brave battle scene.

No surprise, Gu Si Man knowing the current situation will surely burst into laughter, and as the first person to discover Lin An, he is certainly due great merit!

No longer bothering to mock Gu Lun further, Gu Ye Shan rushed forward a few steps to the Elder and blurted out:

「Elder! What are you still hesitating for! Now, while Lin An has just started charging the rankings, let's quickly add a bet! Otherwise, once his ranking stirs and draws others' attention, the odds won't be this high anymore! 」

「Elder! The loss wouldn't be just a few hundred points, but several thousand, even tens of thousands of points! 」

While speaking, Gu Ye Shan's voice trembled a little, kept extremely low, as if he were a thief, fearful of drawing the attention of other civilizations.

「Yeah! Elder! I also think we can take a gamble! If we put the points used on the Frontline onto him, betting two thousand points! By then, not only will we have solved the crisis, but you, I, uh, we will all be able to go further! 」

Faced with the clansmen's persuasion, it must be said that Gu Hong indeed felt tempted.

Taking advantage of the current odds not being too high, the sooner they make up their minds, the greater the profit. By then, even if they only pick Lin An to break into the top thousand, their final profit will reach nearly a hundred thousand points!

Especially, he noticed that within the Star‑Luminous Space, many Star Destroyers seemed to have also discovered the suddenly emerging Creator Alliance.

Unlike them knowing Lin An's 'details', these representatives merely paid a little attention.

However, likewise, if he is hesitating about something, it is Lin An's renewed rise in ranking speed that makes him constantly feel something is off.

Without waiting for Gu Hong to frown and think hard, the previously startled Gu Lun faction suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and also walked over to his side:

Grand Elder! Wrong! The speed of this ranking change is problematic!

You also have a problem?

Gu Hong unconsciously... while listening to the Grand Elder also doubting something, a strange flicker passed through Gu Lun's eyes, as if he had spotted a loophole, he nodded heavily.

Yes! Grand Elder! I'm telling the truth, I really don't believe that human is actually that strong!

I, Gu Lun, swear that I have no grudges in saying this! Think about it, although the ranking seems to have moved again, it's actually changing almost every few seconds! The precision of the interval is just like slaughter!

How is this possible!!

Would a real battle be like this!? How could it be that Lin An has become so strong as to crush war stars? Those fifth-stage beings can't even flee in front of him? They just wash their necks and wait for him to kill them!

Gu Lun gave a cold laugh, utterly confident!

In my view, it's still my previous judgment! Lin An couldn't possibly do that, even if he were the strongest war star, he couldn't possibly round up a group of fifth-stage beings and kill them like that! The answer is simple!

Or it's the Lizard people who captured a batch of fifth-stage beings, and Lin An is just picking them off one by one to farm points, which is why we see such strange fluctuations!

As his words fell, everyone heard them and froze, the scene he described instantly appearing in their minds.

Gu Lun! What nonsense are you spouting!? I know you don't believe it, but do you find this situation ridiculous!? You don't even look at the rankings! How low are the Lizard squad ranked!?

How! You think a fourth-stage can't do that, yet the Lizard people can!? And have you noticed, the Lizard ranking is actually dropping!

Without regard for the status gap, Gu Yanshan couldn't help but shout a rebuttal.

He thought it simple: he doesn't care how Lin An did it, he only trusts what he sees! If they could truly judge correctly, if they could truly guess right based on their cognition, then they wouldn't be arguing over nothing here!

There are true geniuses in this world, as monstrous as freaks! And miracles, the Stellar Glory War, need exactly such people!

However, facing Gu Yanshan's angry questioning, Gu Lun seemed prepared; he gave a cold laugh and spoke slowly:

It's simple: if that kid is now free and still slaughtering all over the battlefield, what about Gu Yi?

「Gu Yi must have been definitely caught by the Thunder Lizard, right? Gu Si Man and he are so close they'd even sacrifice their lives. I don't believe Lin An is strong enough to slay a War Star Level like a dog, yet can't handle a Thunder Lizard squad and fails to rescue anyone. 」
