Chapter 56

"Little brother, call me sister and I'll show you a treasure."

Lin Luoyue paid no mind to the last round's setback; she narrowed her eyes slightly and launched another offensive.

"Items from the Myriad Realms Battlefield can't be traded between lords of different terms, so what's there to see?"

Su Yu curled his lip.

He had only ever been duped by Lin Luoyue once in this life, and no matter how she sweet-talked him, he would never call her that again.

He had no desire to be a little brother.

"Rules always have loopholes. With a Cross-Term Stone, can't a new-term lord send things to a previous-term lord?"

Lin Luoyue tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, and the force under her foot eased up slightly.

"That would be me sending to you — there's no way you can send to me," Su Yu replied.

"Well then, do you have anything to send me?" Lin Luoyue laughed cheerfully.

What treasure could a person who'd only been a lord for just over two months possibly produce?

She wanted to tease Su Yu a bit.

"Sure, of course I do."

Su Yu nodded. "Call me 'bro,' and I'll give you something you'll never forget as long as you live."

The moment the words left his mouth,

Lin Luoyue's fingers stiffened ever so slightly.

Never forget as long as she lived?

She glanced at the roses decorating the window, and her heart suddenly fluttered.

Taking a deep breath, her lips twitched as she ventured hesitantly, "...Bro?"

That single utterance gave Su Yu an incomparable rush of satisfaction.

He retrieved an item from the Lord's Crystal storage space...

Instantly, the vast dining hall blazed with golden light.

This left Lin Luoyue completely stunned.

She had assumed Su Yu was going to give her flowers,

but this was...

Gold — the color signifying legend.

(Lin Luoyue crossed her long, fair legs, smiling brightly: "Brother, how about an auto-subscription...? If you do, I'll be right there with you...")

The item Su Yu took out was indeed of Legendary grade,

but it was not something an ordinary Legendary item could compare to.

This was from the monster-tide assessment ranking reward —

the First Place Gift Pack — a Legendary-grade Hero Recruitment Card!

On the Myriad Realms Battlefield,

the value of a single hero is difficult to measure.

Especially a high-grade hero —

the higher the hero’s grade, the more terrifying their growth potential.

Lin Luoyue stared at the Legendary Hero Recruitment Card Su Yu handed over and found herself barely able to breathe.

A Legendary-grade hero practically signified the peak of an entire Myriad Realms battlefield!

She remembered

that you had to go back several dozen terms on the Myriad Realms Battlefield before Epic-grade heroes appeared.

For the other terms and for most lords of those terms,

the highest hero grade was Legendary!

Lin Luoyue could never have imagined that Su Yu could actually produce a Legendary Hero Recruitment Card…

“Uh, little brother Su Yu, this thing is far too precious; big sister can’t accept it.”

“Besides, aren’t you taking part in the All-Humanity Civilization Lord Selection Tournament?”

“That’s tied to the myriad-race ranking war; you’d best use it yourself.”

“It might make you renowned across the entire human race.”

“You already have one Legendary hero, but if you had a second, your territory’s strength would undoubtedly rise to another level.”

Lin Luoyue’s words, unusually, grew voluble,

and although she still called Su Yu little brother, there was not the slightest hint of teasing in it.

Su Yu, however, shook his head. “Luoyue, don’t worry.”

“The heroes in my territory are even stronger than this.”

“Hah?”

Stronger than a Legendary hero — what did that mean?

Lin Luoyue fixed her gaze intently on Su Yu, a trace of shock and a trace of bewilderment in her eyes.

She recalled that breathtakingly beautiful elf portrait,

the hero in Su Yu’s territory,

the hero hailed by all Blue Star’s people as the hope of their rise.

A Legendary-grade elf hero.

Could it be… she’s not Legendary, but… Epic?

Lin Luoyue hardly dared to keep thinking.

Although the current term’s Supreme Leaderboard had not yet been released,

Epic-grade heroes could only be seen on the Supreme Leaderboard of the 11501st term.

Over the next dozen or so terms, every number-one rank on the Supreme Leaderboard held only a Legendary-grade hero.

Did Su Yu truly possess an Epic-grade hero?

Wouldn’t that mean… he could claim first place on the new term’s Supreme Leaderboard?

No, this term of lords was tied to the myriad-race ranking war;

the major factions across the myriad realms would surely bring out everything they’d been saving for a desperate moment;

it was highly possible that many Epic-grade heroes would emerge.

But even so, an Epic-grade hero was still a pinnacle-level existence!

At the very least, one could rank among the top!

Placing near the top of the Supreme Leaderboard… the thought left Lin Luoyue deeply shaken within.

The myriad realms contained ten thousand races, where geniuses and talents rose in droves;

even her own troops had never managed to place on the Supreme Leaderboard.

This guy…

Looking at Su Yu’s rather smug expression, Lin Luoyue gradually calmed herself.

She shook her head and said, “Even so, I still cannot take it.”

“Why?” Su Yu paused, taken aback.

In all the world, the only person who could reject a Legendary Hero Recruitment Card was probably Lin Luoyue alone.

Such a precious thing was enough to incite contests between races.

If Lin Luoyue simply used it,

she could ascend the current-term Supreme Leaderboard.

To stand out among the myriad realms and ten thousand races — such allure was more than an ordinary person could resist.

“If I take it, I might have to call you Su Yu-ge for the rest of my life.” Lin Luoyue’s lips curved upward faintly.

“Isn’t that a good thing?” Su Yu pursed his lips.

“No, it’s not. I’m two years older than you; you should be calling me jie.” Lin Luoyue said, as if it were a matter of course.

“It’s one year and six months.” Su Yu corrected her.

“Round it off and it’s two years.”
