Dozens of eyes turned toward him, instantly understanding why he said that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew about his relationship with Ning Tairan’s granddaughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hao’s earlier remark wasn’t just an insult to Lin Moyu. It was a slap in the face to both Meng Anwen and Bai Yiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu’s counterattack was razor-sharp, each word laced with killing intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hao narrowed his eyes, “Godly General Lin, what do you mean by that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu’s reply was faint, but sharp as a blade, “Exactly what I said. Let me put it plainly—who is your great-grandson? Tell him to step forward. I’ll kill him.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, there was no room for misinterpretation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Overbearing, aren’t you?” Ye Hao sneered, “You’re playing a dangerous game.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu, however, showed no fear. With Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen behind him, he had nothing to worry about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he stood alone, as long as he was willing to pay the price, he had no reason to fear them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu sneered back, then turned to Meng Anwen, “Teacher, could you investigate who his great-grandson is?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Anwen chuckled, “Of course. No matter how well he hides, I’ll drag him out.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hao’s expression shifted. He hadn’t expected Lin Moyu to take it so seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original intent had been simple: to provoke Bai Yiyuan and Meng Anwen while putting Lin Moyu in his place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his eyes, no matter how capable Lin Moyu was, he was still just a junior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though this junior now held considerable fame and had reached the rank of three-star godly general, Ye Hao remained skeptical of his actual combat prowess and didn’t take him seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Moyu’s reaction left him feeling cornered, like riding a tiger he couldn’t dismount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A cold gleam flashed in Ye Hao’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did have a great-grandson, though few knew of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The great-grandson was talented, but far inferior to Lin Moyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lin Moyu bore a grudge, it would be troublesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For an instant, murder crossed Ye Hao’s mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu sensed it and scoffed inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many wanted him dead—Demon Kings, Dragon Kings, even the Demon Emperor and the Dragon Emperor—yet he still lived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The atmosphere tightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hao hadn’t realized he’d touched one of Lin Moyu’s bottom lines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Buzz!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A violent fluctuation swept through the air as the dungeon emerged from the hidden space.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Stone Dungeon had fully formed, ready to be entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its sudden appearance shattered the tense standoff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Hao forced a smile, “Just a joke, Godly General Lin. Don’t take offense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu only looked at him in silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the shameless composure of an old man, Ye Hao pretended nothing had transpired, “The Divine Stone Dungeon has opened. Let’s enjoy the young talents’ performance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Anwen murmured to Lin Moyu, “Let it go.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I know.” Lin Moyu replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood he couldn’t clash with Ye Hao here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both sides represented their factions, and any conflict would harm the Shenxia Empire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Anwen was preparing to deploy formations across the country, some in Ye Hao’s territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Escalation would only complicate things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu’s sharp reaction was primarily to send Ye Hao a clear message—he was not someone to be taken lightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his point made, Lin Moyu didn’t press further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The standoff ended with Ye Hao backing down, leaving Lin Moyu’s side looking stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ye Hao gave himself an excuse to retreat, his expression was far from pleasant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tension eased at last, and the Divine Stone Dungeon event officially began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Above the dungeon, the formations projected a hundred screens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each round, 100 participants would be teleported inside, their every challenge and choice displayed in real time on the screens.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scores would be updated continuously, with higher scores meaning stronger performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the first batch of class users was teleported inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The God-level expert from the military, who had summoned the dungeon, stepped forward to explain the rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Each level cleared grants 10 points.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Passing the ninth level rewards half a Divine Talent Stone.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for the tenth level—no one has ever cleared it. I hope this year changes that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the great families already knew the rules of the Divine Stone Dungeon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without the explanation, they had come prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the screens, Lin Moyu watched the first level unfold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The participants were of varying classes and levels, yet they faced largely the same first challenge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A mountain, twenty to thirty meters tall, loomed before them like a storm cloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From it, swarms of black dots burst forth, streaking toward them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The speed of the black dots adjusted to each participant’s class and level—slower for mages, faster for others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu instantly understood: “A test of reflexes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite their numbers, the black dots always left room to maneuver. Anyone competent could pass.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The participants didn’t flinch. They dashed forward, weaving nimbly through the barrage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, they already knew what awaited them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu quickly lost interest. The trial was too simple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As expected, within a minute, all participants had cleared the level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their scores jumped from zero to ten.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shortly after, the second trial began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, strength was tested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each participant faced a massive boulder—the higher their level, the harder the boulder. Smash it by any means, and the trial was cleared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For these chosen elites, it was hardly a challenge. None of them were weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the gaze of thousands, failure here would not only disgrace themselves but bring shame upon their families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first trial tested reflexes. The second, strength. So what would the third be?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Moyu speculated, the others cleared the second trial almost at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It posed no real challenge, and their scores rose to twenty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, the third trial began.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive white tiger materialized, wind howling fiercely around it, indicating its element: wind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each challenger faced a tiger of equal level, making the trial fair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle commenced instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind-type white tiger combined blistering speed with brute strength, forcing everyone into a tough fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu frowned, “The first trial essentially measured speed. The second, strength. The third… direct combat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The white tiger embodies both speed and strength, merging the earlier trials.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first two were passive tests. This one is active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meng Anwen murmured, “From this trial onward, eliminations will begin.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu found it puzzling, “This tiger is powerful, but it’s still just a regular elite monster, far weaker than ordinary monsters in hell rank dungeons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand how something like this could defeat anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s perfectly normal.” Came Bai Yiyuan’s calm voice. He and Zhu Qingliu stepped up beside Lin Moyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not every class has combat ability like yours.” Bai Yiyuan explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Most people, before they fully understand their skills, are weaker than mobs in hell rank dungeons.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s why humans form parties—because as a race, we’re not naturally strong. Yet from this weak race, we’re always trying to select the strongest individuals. Isn’t that paradoxical?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Moyu considered his words, “Selecting the strong from a weak race…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the surface, it sounded paradoxical. But it echoed Antares’s view: one God-level powerhouse outweighed a hundred level-89 powerhouses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every race needed truly top-tier experts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the Divine Stone Dungeon was designed to find them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1221,"2026-06-06T10:27:19.222Z",1,"novelbin.me","b5cbd75b7b7161184248ccd2f0343ea13acc6c0ff62b693b4e70f7c9cd454c6a","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-540","necromancer-i-am-a-disaster-chapter-538",748,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fnecromancer-i-am-a-disaster-cover.jpg"]
