This human, Fen Kong, is definitely all bark and no bite; his strength is probably even worse than they anticipated!
My previous refusal to take on challenges wasn't out of caution, it was purely out of cowardice and fear of losing!
"Hmph, you can run away, but you can't hide!"
The Nightmare King sneered.
"Let's see what excuse he has when he dares to enter the Glory World again!"
"good."
Hecarim's cold thoughts echoed.
"Next time, we'll make him cough up all his Glory Points! We'll humiliate him properly and see what face the human race has left!"
"Yes! Let's all challenge him! Look at how guilty he looks, maybe if we goad him, he'll lose his mind and agree!"
"Hehe, when we win all his Glory Points, let's see how he cries then!"
"That `s a deal!"
In an instant, the crowd in the square was in a frenzy. Many of the alien races who had previously only been observing Lu Ming were now intrigued and eager to teach this arrogant yet cowardly human a lesson, so that he would understand that the Ancestral God Sect was not a place where he could run wild.
Lu Ming's lips curled up as he entered the treasure land.
"The fish... should be biting soon."
He whispered to himself.
"Let them cool off for a few days, and when their anger and contempt have reached their peak, that will be the best time to reap the rewards."
Stepping into the treasure land, one is greeted by an incomparably vast and magnificent world.
Countless mountain peaks stand tall, some majestic, some beautiful, some shrouded in mist, and some flowing with brilliant light of laws.
Lakes, like jewels, dot the mountains, while streams meander and waterfalls cascade down.
Lu Ming hovered in mid-air, his gaze sweeping over the dreamlike scene.
He knew that almost every mountain peak and every lake here might contain treasures left behind by powerful predecessors, waiting for a destined person who meets the conditions to unlock them.
Lu Ming, like a true, aimless treasure hunter, flew and stopped at will in the outer area of the treasure land.
Sometimes he would approach a mountain peak that emitted strange fluctuations, sometimes he would linger by a misty lake, and he would even imitate other inheritors by occasionally using a few secret techniques to demonstrate his "shallow" understanding of the laws of fire and space.
The result was naturally no response.
Lu Ming was not surprised at all; on the contrary, he was happy to see it happen.
"Hmm, he's behaving 'normally.' That's how a human world lord should behave, given that he was lucky enough to come to the Ancestral God Cult but whose talent and strength are mediocre."
Lu Ming chuckled inwardly, quite satisfied with his "performance".
After wandering around the treasure-filled land for several days and confirming that he had not attracted any extra attention, Lu Ming stopped and left this land full of opportunities along the same route.
Back in the quiet room of "Fenkong Residence", Lu Ming sat down cross-legged. The "guilty" and "pretending" expression on his face had disappeared without a trace, replaced by a look of anticipation and amusement.
"The show has been put on, the bait has been laid... Now, let's see how many 'fish' are eager to bite the hook."
He reconnected to the sensors in the Glory World.
His consciousness descended upon the open-air plaza, and his figure materialized. He didn't immediately look around; instead, he directly opened the black book in his hand and looked straight at the page containing the challenge information.
Upon seeing this, even though he was mentally prepared, Lu Ming couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
"Ouch!"
On the black book's page, the list of challenge applications was densely packed, forming a long queue. A quick glance revealed at least tens of thousands of entries!
Moreover, this number seemed to be slowly increasing even as he watched it!
Tens of thousands isn't a lot, considering there are hundreds of millions of inheritors of the Ancestral God Sect.
The challengers come from various top race alliances such as the Demon Race, the Insect Race, and the Mechanical Race, and even some special life alliances, the Northern Frontier Alliance, and so on.
Without exception, the stakes were all the minimum of 1 point of glory.
Clearly, these alien inheritors were intrigued by his previous arrogant yet cowardly behavior and wanted to take advantage of the situation before this "easy target" completely disappeared, so as to humiliate the human race.
At the very top of these challenge messages, several particularly eye-catching applications were listed.
[Azure Nightmare King (Demon Clan Alliance): Bets 1 Glory Point. P.S.: Human cowards, do you still dare to show yourselves?]
[Hecarim (Zerg Alliance): 1 Honor Point wagered. P.S.: Don't make another excuse to run away!]
[Ironback King (Mechanical Alliance): 1 Glory Point wagered. P.S.: Inferior life form, accept your punishment!]
……
Seeing these provocative and contemptuous comments, Lu Ming was not angry at all. Instead, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, eventually turning into a bright smile.
"Very good, very good..."
He muttered to himself, his eyes gleaming like a hunter seeing his prey fall into a trap.
"The atmosphere is already set, and the audience is enthusiastic enough... So, it's time to start 'harvesting'."
Time passed little by little.
The number of challenge applications accumulated in the black book began to climb at an alarming rate.
From ten thousand, to twenty thousand, to fifty thousand...
Finally, when Lu Ming "checked" the books again, the number of challenge applications had surpassed 100,000! And it was still increasing!
"One hundred thousand..."
Lu Ming silently recited the words in his heart, and a sharp glint finally flashed in his eyes.
"That's about enough. Waiting any longer might arouse suspicion from some cautious individuals."
Agreed! Agreed! Agreed!
Agreed!
Once you're here, you're not leaving!
I agree to all of them!
Chapter 72 He actually accepted them all!
Om-!
The next moment, all the inheritors who had submitted challenge applications, including the Blue Nightmare King, Hecarim, and the Iron Spine King, had their black books vibrate simultaneously, and a striking message appeared.
[Humanity 'Burning Sky' has accepted your challenge! The stakes: 1 Glory Point. Prepare to enter the world of battle!]
quiet!
Deathly silence!
The noise and laughter that had filled the open-air plaza came to an abrupt halt!
All the inheritors from other races, whether they had submitted challenges or were just watching, stared wide-eyed, mouths agape, their faces filled with disbelief and absurdity!
He... he actually accepted?
Not one, not two...
But...all of them?!
He accepted over 100,000 challenges?!
Is he crazy?!
Where does a mere realm lord get his confidence from?!
Even if he's reasonably skilled, winning a few or a dozen matches wouldn't be enough to win a hundred thousand! He'd be exhausted! Besides, he only starts with 3 Glory Points; losing three matches will wipe them out and leave him in debt! What makes him think he can dare?!
After a brief moment of silence, there was an uproar like a volcanic eruption!
"He...he accepted them all?!"
"He answered mine too! My God, has he gone crazy from some kind of shock?"
"Hahaha! Who cares if he's crazy or not! He's asking for it!"
"Free Glory Points!"
"Let's go! Let's see how he dies!"
After their initial astonishment, top-tier invincible kings like the Blue Nightmare King and Hecarim revealed cruel and excited smiles on their faces.
"Seek death!"
The Azure Nightmare King grinned maliciously, and his figure vanished from the plaza in an instant, entering the battle world.
"Stupid humans."
……
The world of glory, the world of battle.
On a desolate, red earth, Lu Ming, dressed in simple black battle armor, stood casually, holding a seemingly ordinary standard-issue battle knife.
His gaze was calm, as if he were not facing a battle that would determine the ownership of Glory Points, but rather taking a stroll in his own backyard.
Now that the fish are in the net, there's no need to hide our strength anymore.
"A divine body with the power of a world lord ten thousand times, not bad. It's like experiencing the wonders of an immortal divine body ahead of time."
Lu Ming felt the body simulated by the Glory World and looked into the distance.
It was a huge alien race, covered with thick rocky armor, resembling a giant bear.
It growled, each step causing the crimson earth to tremble slightly, exuding a violent aura.
"Humanity burns the sky!"
The rock bear alien let out a deep roar, its scarlet eyes filled with undisguised contempt and greed.
"I didn't expect you to actually accept my challenge! Looks like you think 3 Glory Points are too much!"
Lu Ming looked at him calmly: "You should feel honored. You are the first 'gift' I have received."
"Insanity!"
