Chapter 2049 The one who laughs last laughs best; Mengde, who wanted to seize power!

Hearing Grand Tutor Pang's words, Feng Ran was still somewhat unconvinced.

Seeing this, Grand Tutor Pang laughed and said, "Compared to ordinary cultivators, your situation is certainly quite significant."

"But in a battlefield teeming with geniuses like this, your names aren't particularly dazzling."

"It is true that Jianlai is a divine beast, Bai Ze, and it is also true that it has talent, but its talent is due to a mutation in its bloodline."

"To put it nicely, this kind of talent means unlimited potential; to put it bluntly, it means an uncertain future."

"Furthermore, its ranking in the academy isn't high, so it's unlikely to be a primary target."

"What about Li Changsheng?"

Feng Ran said, unwilling to give up, "Li Changsheng is a direct descendant of the Five Surnames and Seven Realms of the Dan Era, and his own strength is also quite outstanding."

"Isn't such a reputation enough to make him a prime target for the first kill?"

“Li Changsheng’s status is indeed noble, but this is the Longevity Era, not the Pill Era.”

"The people guarding the second pass were all recruited from the Eternal Life Era, and their ruthlessness will only be concentrated on the Eternal Life Era."

"The Dan Era was just an insignificant passerby to them."

"Suppose you were a master guarding the second pass, would you kill the enemy's disciples and descendants first, or their bloodline, or a prodigy who is completely unrelated to you?"

"I......"

Upon hearing Grand Tutor Pang's words, Feng Ran was momentarily speechless.

"what about me?"

"I am a prodigy of the demon race, a person from the Longevity Era, and ranked among the top three in the academy."

Why don't they come and kill me?

Seeing Feng Ran's unconvinced expression, Grand Tutor Pang smiled faintly and said, "It is true that you are a prodigy of the demon race, and it is also true that you are ranked in the top three."

"But you don't represent the entire demon race. I, an outsider, know about what happened between you and the demon race some time ago. There's no reason why the powerful guards of the second pass wouldn't know."

"On the surface, you are nothing more than a pawn discarded by a powerful force."

"Although I have some talent in cultivation, what this place has no shortage of is geniuses."

“Besides that, the most deceptive thing is that I became your protector.”

"With so many people entering the second level, the experts guarding it can't be blind. They probably can't tell whose protector is the strongest."

"But they can still sense the general aura."

“Other people’s protectors start as quasi-emperors, but you’ve found a ninth-grade Immortal King as your protector.”

Do you think they should value you?

Feng Ran: "......"

What he said was reasonable and well-founded, and the situation was also in my favor.

But for some reason, I just felt a bit frustrated.

Looking at Feng Ran's somewhat resentful eyes, Grand Tutor Pang said calmly, "The reason I am willing to protect you is firstly because of your sincerity, and secondly because of your potential."

"If it weren't for these two points, I wouldn't have risked my life to protect you."

Hearing this, Feng Ran said aggrievedly, "Senior, you've made me sound like this, what potential do I still have?"

"You have great potential, you just haven't seen it yet."

"In the era of immortality, the contemporary prodigies were unparalleled, but in the end, only the strongest could survive."

"If you can survive to the end, then wouldn't you be the second best in the world?"

Maple Dye: ? ? ?

"Is that what you're thinking, senior?"

"What else do you want to do? The loudest laugh doesn't necessarily win; the one who laughs last is the winner."

"Ten thousand years ago, during the dark and turbulent era, geniuses from both the righteous and evil paths flourished everywhere, but how many survived in the end?"

"And those who survived, weren't they all regional overlords? They weren't the strongest back then either."

"Your purpose in entering the game is to compete for victory, not to compete for who goes first or last."

"If you don't even have patience in your life and work, you're destined to never achieve anything great."

"The expert who directed you to come to me has a very clear understanding of these things. You should consult him more often when you have time."

After saying that, Grand Tutor Pang found a clean place and began to sit cross-legged in meditation, showing no eagerness to pass the test.

......

Bewitching Inn.

"Buzz!"

Jian Lai successfully stepped into the Immortal King Realm, and his powerful aura instantly soared into the sky.

At the same time, Jian Lai, who had entered the Immortal King realm, also experienced a qualitative improvement in strength.

Following the scent, Jianlai successfully located the unconscious Mengde.

Under the nurturing power of the sword, Meng De, who only had half of his soul left, finally awoke.

"You're finally awake! I almost thought you weren't going to wake up."

"Snapped!"

Upon regaining consciousness, Mengde did not immediately tend to his wounds, but instead slapped himself hard across the face.

Sword Coming:???

Did he blow his own soul out of his body and cause brain damage?

"Why are you hitting yourself? Just tell me what's wrong."

Faced with Mengde's situation, Jianlai asked in confusion.

Upon hearing this, Meng De, his eyes bloodshot, looked at Jian Lai and said, "We can't go on like this. If we continue like this, we'll all die."

"What's wrong with you? Why do you keep saying these nonsensical things?"

"I'm fine. I just had a brush with death and figured some things out along the way."

"Go and rescue Li Changsheng first. I'll explain everything to you in detail once he arrives."

Seeing Mengde's bloodshot eyes, Jianlai didn't quite understand, but he still chose to do as instructed.

After Jianlai left, Mengde began to meditate and heal his injuries, while also reflecting on the mistakes he had made.

Although the gentleman had told everyone about the dangers involved before they entered the game.

But no one else, including myself, truly understood Mr. [Name]'s good intentions.

The man said that entering this place meant certain death, while his group was shouting the slogan "never regret it even if it means dying nine times over."

They said they weren't afraid of death, but deep down they didn't believe they would die.

But just now, the self-destruction of his soul brought Mengde into such close contact with death for the first time.

It was this experience that made Mengde realize a truth: when death finds you, it doesn't care about your identity or background.

At a life-or-death moment, to still be concerned about so many trivial matters is simply the greatest irresponsibility towards oneself.

At the same time, with the help of Jian Lai, Li Changsheng successfully broke through the blood-red mist.

"Why did the crimson mist suddenly dissipate?"

"How would I know about this? You should be grateful you got out."

Jianlai and Li Changsheng walked over.

Before Li Changsheng could speak, Meng De coldly said something while looking at Meng De on the ground.

"Li Changsheng, you should become a Celestial King now."

Hearing this, Li Changsheng rolled his eyes and said, "Becoming a Celestial King isn't that simple, besides..."

"Do you have any objections to me making you a Celestial King?"

Mengde's tone became more stern.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng's expression also turned cold.

"Who do you think you are? Why should I listen to you?"

"Just because I'm the head of the Five Tigers Group, if you don't obey my orders, I'll make sure you can't survive in the Eternal Life Era!"
