Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

"So that's it!"

After listening to Zhang Yan's story, Xu Yang suddenly understood.

As the top student in their class, and even in the entire grade, Zhang Yan, who possesses the talent of "beauty that makes the city beautiful" and is accepted by the Student Union, is at the first-class level even if she is not the top among the new lords.

In addition to the financial support from the Student Union, it should be easy to block a few attacks as long as she is not too unlucky.

But how does the saying go, as long as there is no accident, there will definitely be an accident.

No, at the beginning, he ran into the Demon Abyss Lord on the reputation ranking list.

As mentioned before, there are similarities between the Ten Thousand Demon Abysses in the Tower of Babel, such as the reputation ranking. Although each has its own list, it is not hidden. Everyone knows each other well, making the competition more intense and cruel.

Although this Demon Abyss Lord is ranked only 9,156th, don't underestimate these 9,156th.

As strong as Xu Yang is, even though he has obtained so many top-quality equipment and trained 580 elite Yellow Turbans from the Yellow Turban Civilization, his reputation ranking is only 9,572nd.

This is still the "Rookie" reputation list, which only maintains a list of new lords for one year. There are not many competitors, so he can get a ranking.

The first-level reputation ranking list is permanent and has no time limit. As long as the first-level lord meets the conditions, he can enter the list.

How many lords are under the rule of the Tower of Babel and the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss?

I'm afraid there are no less than a trillion, among which the number of first-level lords is the largest, if not a hundred billion, there are tens of billions.

Among these tens of billions of first-level lords, selecting 10,000 with the highest reputation to list them, what does that mean?

Not to mention 9,156, even 9,999, or even the last 10,000, have surpassed 99% of the first-level lords and belong to the top of the pyramid.

Each of these ranked lords has the ability to "fight across ranks", and they can fight against a second-rank lord, and even win.

Therefore, it is no wonder that Zhang Yan lost her composure and went everywhere to seek help to defend the territory. The enemy was too strong.

However...

Xu Yang looked at Zhang Yan: "Didn't you join the Student Union? Why didn't you ask them for help?"

The Ninth Campus Student Union is actually an organization composed of many lords from the Ninth Campus. Although it is not as powerful as those big forces, it also has some weight and is closely related to the Ninth Campus, and the Ninth Campus is in a superior-subordinate relationship with Tongtian College...

In short, it is connected layer by layer and has a huge power.

As a student of the Ninth Campus, Zhang Yan joined the Student Union and had talents and skills with great development potential such as "Alluring Beauty". Logically, she should be supported and protected. How could she fall to the point where her territory was attacked and she could only go around to ask for help?

"This..."

Hearing this, Zhang Yan was also embarrassed.

Fortunately, Feng Cheng, who was standing by, was very aware and said in time: "Don't mention it. Those people are a bunch of hypocrites. They said that they had more important things to do and couldn't transfer people. They asked the class monitor to temporarily give up the territory and then help fight back. In fact, they just wanted to force the class monitor to let her..."

"Feng Cheng!"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted. Zhang Yan rushed forward and said in a deep voice: "An important seed of the campus was also attacked. It was a powerful lord with more than 8,000 people on the reputation rankings. The student union and the first-level forces of the campus were transferred there. There was really no way to take care of my side."

Although it was an explanation, there was an unclear meaning in the tone.

"Is that so!"

Xu Yang was not surprised at all. After all, he was very clear about some characteristics of the power organization. It was all a bunch of shit. It was human nature and it was hard to avoid.

He didn't want to gossip, so he just asked Zhang Yan, "Have you ever considered giving up the territory and then asking the student union to help you get it back?"

The territory can also be given up. When facing an unbeatable opponent, the lord can choose to give up the territory and return to the Tower of Babel, and get a "War Order (Revenge)", which allows him to gather troops within 30 days and launch a revenge-style counterattack. If he wins, he can take back the territory.

If he really can't counterattack, he can also seek other world fragments and build another territory for development.

Of course, the price is very high. Things like world fragments are not something that ordinary first-level lords can get.

Although Zhang Yan joined the student union and had the support of the ninth campus of Tongtian College, if she wanted to rebuild the territory from the world fragments, she would probably have to...

"I don't want to give up!"

Zhang Yan shook her head, her expression determined: "That is a rare territory that I got randomly, with extremely precious rare resources. I have invested a lot of effort in the past month. I really don't want to give up until the last step."

"Rare territory?"

Xu Yang was also a little surprised to hear this, but seeing Zhang Yan's expression, he didn't say much: "Then how sure are you?"

"..."

After these words came out, Zhang Yan was silent for a moment, and then said: "Although the opponent is a veteran lord on the reputation rankings and is powerful, no matter how powerful he is, he is fighting away from home!"

"Fighting away from home, the troops carried are limited. I have built a large number of defensive facilities such as arrow towers and city walls in the territory. As long as the troops are sufficient, it should not be difficult to defend the territory."

"In addition, the student union also promised that after solving the important seed issue, they would mobilize forces to support as soon as possible, so we only need to hold on for three days, no, one or two days will be enough."

A lot of words, multi-faceted analysis, although reasonable, but no matter how you listen to it, you feel guilty.

Hearing this, Xu Yang also shook his head: "Old lords must have heroes, plus their own extremely high charm attributes and command skills, even if they fight away from home, they can carry a lot of elite soldiers and siege weapons. The defense of your territory may not be stable. As for the promise and support of the student union..."

The last word was not spoken, just a smile, everything is unspoken.

Zhang Yan was silent after hearing this, not knowing how to respond.

At this time...

"Hey!"

"Say so much nonsense, are you going to help or not?"

"If you help, I will help, if you don't help, forget it, why do you want to boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"

"If you are afraid, just say it directly, why find so many excuses!"

"Schoolmate, don't waste time with such people!"

Seeing Zhang Yan silent and unable to step down, the people behind hurriedly spoke up.

Xu Yang ignored her and looked at Zhang Yan: "I can help you get through this difficult time, but there are two conditions!"

Zhang Yan's eyes condensed, and her expression was surprised. Feng Cheng beside her also changed his expression. Several people in the back stood up in anger, as if they were going to fight.

"Don't get excited!"

Fortunately, Zhang Yan reacted quickly and immediately suppressed everyone's actions, and then asked Xu Yang tentatively: "What are the conditions?"

"First, I want to get the Wushuang Order, and it must be delivered to me first!"

Hearing this, Xu Yang was also straightforward and said straight to the point: "Second, my personal kills in the guard battle belong to me personally, and I am eligible to be the first to choose three pieces of spoils from the overall spoils after the war."

"What?"

As soon as this was said, Zhang Yan didn't say anything, and the people in the back slammed the table and stood up, especially several "senior" seniors, who were directly furious.

"How dare you take advantage of the situation?"

"Who are you to offer such conditions?"

"You have survived this difficult time. The opponent is a veteran lord on the reputation rankings, not a cat or dog, a small fish or shrimp."

"Schoolmate, don't waste time with this lunatic. We have several seniors here, and we will definitely help you defend your territory!"

Several people were shocked and angry, and they were a little out of control, as if they were hit by the conditions offered by Xu Yang.

Indeed!

People are not stupid, and there are not so many brain-burned licking dogs in the world. This time, Zhang Yan was able to attract so many classmates and seniors to help. Her personal charm is only secondary, and the Wushuang Order and various promises of benefits are the main ones.

But now Xu Yang wants to take the Wushuang Order as soon as he opens his mouth, and he wants to pay in advance. He wants to get the best reward before fighting. How can everyone accept this?

In addition, he must give priority to selecting three trophies after the battle.

You take the Wushuang order first, and you choose the spoils first, so what are we doing here? Are we working for you for nothing?

Do you really think that everyone is a licker like Feng Cheng, who can ignore gains and losses and rely on love to generate electricity?

Everyone was excited, but Xu Yang ignored them and only showed Zhang Yan his attribute panel and weapons and equipment.

"Level 10?"

"Twenty-eight physical strength?"

"Commoner, yellow turban?"

"Tiger skin clothes, ancient ingot knife, reed leaf spear, iron tire bow, general arrow?"

"This...!"

Looking at the attribute panel and weapons and equipment displayed by Xu Yang, Zhang Yan was also stunned.

She had some expectations about Xu Yang's strength, otherwise she would not have contacted Xu Yang for help.

She had seen the rookie reputation rankings and knew Xu Yang's basic situation. As an orphan lord without a father or mother and no one to rely on, he could occupy a place in the rookie list. It goes without saying that he must have something extraordinary.

But she didn't expect Xu Yang to be so "extraordinary".

In one month, the character level reached 10, the physical attribute reached 28, plus the cloth and yellow turban skills that were obtained somehow, as well as the tiger skin clothes, ancient ingot knife, iron bow, general arrows and other top-quality weapons, and even an epic reed spear.

What is this concept?

You have to know that even she, the lucky one who drew the rare territory, only had one epic item, the Wushuang Order, and it was the only reward she got from defeating the final boss with the support of the student union.

Under normal circumstances, the lord cleared the initial monsters in the territory, and at most the level was raised to level 5 or 6, and two or three rare and excellent equipment were obtained, which was the most.

If you want the best or epic, you must have a rare territory, or...

He single-handedly brushed all the initial monsters, including the final gatekeeper boss?

What kind of monster is this? Why didn't I see him show such martial arts in the martial arts class before?

This guy is too good at hiding!

Zhang Yan's thoughts were in a mess, but she soon calmed down. Looking at the attribute panel displayed by Xu Yang, she tentatively said: "Can I use this Wushuang Order..."

"No!"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted. Xu Yang looked calm: "Advance the Wushuang Order to enhance my combat power. This is the only way to ensure the success of the defense war and the safety of your territory. You should understand this principle."

"..."

This made Zhang Yan silent for a while, but she soon nodded and said: "Okay, I promise you, but we have to sign a contract!"

"This..."

"Class monitor!"

"Don't be fooled by him!"

Zhang Yan's concession shocked everyone, and several senior students were even more pale.

They had expected such a result. Although the classmates said that this person was a waste without talent, they knew with their toes that if he was really worthless, how could Zhang Yan, a beautiful woman with all facets, regard him as such? Treat him as a savior.

so……

Everyone was shocked and angry, but Xu Yang ignored it and just nodded to Zhang Yan: "Okay!"

"Then it's settled!"

Zhang Yan also nodded, then looked at everyone and bowed deeply: "Thank you all classmates and seniors for your generous help, but I'm sorry, I have to give this Wushuang Order to classmate Xu Yang in advance. If you are still willing to help, , I will pay the corresponding commission..."

Before he finished speaking, someone stood up and left with a gloomy expression. It was a senior senior.

"Sorry, schoolgirl!"

"There's something unexpected happening in my territory, so I can't help you anymore."

"Squad leader, I'm sorry, we..."

"Let's go, let's go, one rat droppings spoiled the whole pot of porridge!"

"..."

One person started, and the rest started to move, and soon left the junior half. They were basically seniors, and there were also a few classmates in the same grade.

This is a matter of course. The main reason why they came to help was the Wushuang Order. Now that the Wushuang Order is gone, who is willing to take the risk and fight against a Demon Abyss Lord who is on the reputation list.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan didn't care, and just said to the rest of the people: "Thank you all, I will hire mercenaries with the extra funds. I will ensure the maximum number of people and enough troops to defend the city."

"What are you talking about, monitor!"

"I have always been taken care of by you before, how can I not come to help now when I am in trouble!"

"Isn't he just the Demon Abyss Lord on the list? What are you afraid of? Fight with him!"

"Those people left as soon as they left. Didn't they just go to the Babel Tower for two or three years? Do you really think you are awesome when you call them senior?"

"We are all first-order lords. As long as we work together, defending the territory will not be a problem!"

People are not of the same type, there are those who are only interested in profit, and there are also young people with passionate hearts and innocent hearts who speak passionately to Zhang Yan.

Looking at Xu Yang again, he still didn't say much and went straight to the last key point: "How much time is left?"

"one day!"

Zhang Yan said in a deep voice: "I prepared a few battle orders. Although I couldn't resist the opponent's rare level attack, it still delayed the preparation time for a day. It has only been less than two hours now."

"Enough!"

When Xu Yang heard this, he simply said: "Sign the contract immediately, and then return to the territory to prepare. Upgrade the troops as much as possible, and improve the strength as much as possible. We will gather in twenty hours, no problem!"

Seeing that he had taken command so naturally, Zhang Yan's eyes changed slightly, but she had no objection, nodded and said: "Okay!"
