Lin Hao's heart stirred, and he stopped directly beside the door.
The army behind him was startled by his actions.
Sure enough, that annoying voice soon rang out.
"You're all thinking of going out to see me make a fool of myself, aren't you?"
Lin Hao grinned, "It's not too much for me to charge admission, is it? Cheng Hui, 1 Cosmic Coins per person!"
Anyone who is still alive can easily produce this amount; it's just 10 cubes of cosmic crystals.
Lin Hao didn't expect to make money from this; it was just something he found boring and disgusting.
The crowd was too exhausted to complain or argue with him. They all readily handed over their money, waiting to see how he would handle the situation later!
When it was the turn of the Black Dragon Mountain troops led by the Ninth Princess Brolin to arrive, Brolin was about to transfer money to him when Lin Hao waved his hand.
"Come here, your ticket is different from everyone else's. Give me a hug, and you can leave."
Lin Hao stretched out his arms, speaking arrogantly.
"you!"
Slightly annoyed, Brolin seemed to have thought of something and stepped forward to hug Lin Hao, whispering in his ear, "I hope your little body can take a beating after we get out. If you can keep up this attitude, I admit I like you a little, and maybe I'll ask my grandfather to save you."
"Don't worry, I guarantee that Grandpa will look at me in a new light as his grandson-in-law! Don't forget to accept my friend request! Otherwise, you'll have a hard time finding me later."
Lin Hao gently stroked his waist, somewhat dissatisfied with the texture of the armor.
"Hmph, as long as you don't change your tune and back down when you get out, I won't like you!"
After saying that, Brolin didn't linger and led the team away.
"Ha, what a hypocrite..."
Looking at the glowing phantom of Brolin in the Bond Space, Lin Hao thought confidently.
……
Canglan Star, Ancient City.
The villa had a passageway specially opened in one of its walls, allowing the large number of adventurers who rushed out of that thunderous world to fly out quickly.
Whoosh~~~
Countless adventurers flew out one after another.
"All adventurers, assemble at the front."
"Anyone who tries to escape, kill them!"
"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"
Suspended in various directions in mid-air were numerous cosmic-level powerhouses, including some domain lords. There were even a few more terrifying auras high in the sky. These powerhouses coldly watched the group of adventurers who had luckily survived and returned.
The angry shouts reached the ears of every adventurer, making the adventurer legion dare not fly around recklessly.
"Hmph, this kid isn't planning to hide inside and never come out, is he? Does he think we really can't go in?"
High in the sky, the major realm lords each chose a location, subtly forming a net that stretched across the heavens and earth.
Seeing that most of the adventurer legion had come out, but Lin Hao was still nowhere to be seen, one of them muttered.
Another moment passed.
"Wow, it's so lively! You're too kind. Aren't you busy and waiting for me?"
Even though Lin Hao was prepared, he was still a little excited when he came out of the villa and saw the huge crowd of millions of people staring at him, as well as the several powerful auras with hostile eyes in the sky.
"Hmph, you're just a stellar-level brat. Although you have great talent, it's too dangerous for you to be carrying so many treasures."
Hargrave spoke first, "For your safety's sake, I suggest you hire a few of us old guys to protect you!"
"We, several realm lords, will personally escort you, ensuring that no one can harm a single hair on your head!"
Seeing this scene, Qinia, who was standing next to the villa, couldn't help but chuckle. She was also very curious about how this kid would handle the situation.
Chapter 56: Making Trouble Starts with Teasing the Domain Lord
Hearing the soft chuckle, Lin Hao's lips curled into a provocative smile. His gaze swept across Hargrave on the horizon before finally settling on the woman beside him.
At the entrance of the villa, to his left stood a woman with short black hair, dressed in a bright silver battle suit.
"I appreciate your kindness, senior, but..."
Lin Hao suddenly turned to face Qinia, "Rather than hiring bodyguards, I'd like to know if this beautiful young lady would be willing to be my guide?"
"If I'm not mistaken, thank you for your adherence to the regulations for the trainee mercenary assessment over the past few months, ensuring that no one above the Stellar level sets foot in the Realm Within a Realm—"
Lin Hao casually took out a fifth-tier weapon and presented it to Qinia, saying, "This gift is a tribute to fairness."
Gasps of astonishment rose and fell from the crowd, and the auras of the several realm lords high in the sky, especially Hargrave, suddenly became dangerous.
"You scumbag, you almost fooled me!"
Brolin, watching from a distance, nearly ground her teeth to powder.
He kept saying he wanted to date me, but then he showered me with gold coins and turned around to fawn over other women!
"A fifth-tier lightning sword, interesting..."
Qinia raised an eyebrow, her fingertips tracing the lightning patterns flowing across the sword, exuding a dangerous aura. "Little one, you're playing with fire."
This was the first time she had encountered a little guy who was far less capable than her teasing her.
If it were anyone else, in any situation, she would not hesitate to teach such a lecherous man a profound lesson.
But the little guy in front of her was indeed a bit of a surprise.
Qinia suddenly looked up and stared into Lin Hao's eyes. "Interesting little guy. It's a pity that it was my duty to prevent them from entering the Realm Within a Realm before. Now... I can't go over the seven Realm Lords to protect you."
She was a little curious about what gave Lin Hao the confidence to completely ignore the increasingly impatient realm lords above and still have the mood to tease her.
"That's it..."
He suddenly leaned close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against the star-patterned earring. "Today's occasion is indeed quite terrible. This flower is an apology for my abrupt behavior just now."
With a wave of her hand, an ice flower was presented to Qinia. The power of law outlined shimmering numbers on the petals, which were her personal communication ID in the virtual universe.
Qinia instinctively took the flower, drawn by the wondrous mysteries of the profound laws, unrelated to romantic feelings.
The realm lords above were filled with doubt and surprise.
"Something's not right. He's definitely more than just someone who's crossed the threshold of the fundamental laws!"
Jiang Tianchen frowned slightly, "Let alone the stellar level, even when I was a domain lord, I couldn't do what he did with such ease."
"Hargrave, are you sure you still want to cause him trouble? I'm not really ready to play along..."
"His teacher, who can produce such a genius disciple, is probably not someone to be trifled with..."
Hargrave's expression darkened even more. "Hmph, so what? Regardless of who his teacher is, since he hasn't shown up, it's perfectly reasonable for me to discipline him if he wants to be my granddaughter's husband, to prevent him from becoming too arrogant because of his talent. It's really for his own good!"
He could no longer contain himself, and the icy storm, carrying the power of the world, crashed down.
Lin Hao tilted his head back and chuckled, letting the power that was enough to freeze a domain lord envelop him.
The old man's actions were quite measured. Based on Lin Hao's understanding of the Law of Water, the old man's technique was very clever. The seemingly imposing ice storm was actually only intended to control him, and its destructive power would not even exceed the threshold of the original energy battle suit he was wearing.
However, Lin Hao smiled, thinking it would be impolite not to reciprocate.
He's already been acknowledged by the fundamental laws, so who's he afraid of when he's playing in the water!
The power of origin, activated!
Hargrave, thinking he had succeeded and with a smirk playing on his lips, discovered he had lost control of the power of the world.
Before he could even be surprised, he was transformed into an ice sculpture, still holding his right hand outstretched and the corners of his mouth turned up.
"Crack!"
Before anyone could be surprised by the dramatic change before them, Hargrave had already broken free of his restraints and burst out of the ice.
This is an absolute difference in quantity, which cannot be compensated for by quality.
Moreover, even in terms of understanding the laws of water, Lin Hao is still no match for Hargrave; he only managed to catch Hargrave off guard by launching a sneak attack.
However, the millions of onlookers were unaware of this.
This is an unprecedented shock: a star-level being dared to attack a realm lord who has been recognized by the fundamental laws, and actually succeeded!
Although it only made Hargrave look a little embarrassed, wasn't that enough?
Hargrave was both shocked and furious after he broke free.
'Killing him is absolutely out of the question, but for a mere stellar-level brat to dare show such disrespect, it's only fair that he suffer a bit!'
With these thoughts in mind, he charged down recklessly.
"Oh no! This old man is trying to force me to be his grandson-in-law! Brolin, we want a free love marriage, not an arranged marriage!"
In the simulator space, the random teleportation stone was set to the highest threshold and then lit up. Lin Hao winked at Brolin and then turned to say, "Domain Lord, remember to add me. See you in the virtual universe later!"
A surge of spatial primordial power appeared without warning, enveloping Lin Hao. Then, his figure vanished from the spot. Apart from the seven realm lords, no one else, including Qinia, could sense his presence.
"!"
The seven realm lords were also dumbfounded. Although they could still sense that Lin Hao was in the starry sky more than 600,000 kilometers away, but...
That's teleportation!
This power can only be wielded by a very small number of those who have been granted the titles of King, Immortal, or Venerable!
They just appeared in front of them so abruptly.
"Should we continue chasing or not...?"
"I am the Lord of the Flame Realm," asked weakly.
"Chase him, damn it! Just follow him from a distance and pray he doesn't get into trouble. There are too many people down here; the news won't stay hidden!"
Tianchen panicked. "I have to report this immediately! Do you know what this means? If the news gets out and the higher-ups react too slowly, we'll all be dead!"
As someone working for the Virtual Universe Company, he understood all too well what Lin Hao's talent meant; now it was all about racing against time.
While explaining to the other realm lords, he used his authority to urgently report the matter to the Virtual Universe Company!
