Chapter 785: Chapter 788: Draw the Gun! (Third Update)
Lin Zhen carried Saga’s corpse, stepped on the void, and ca to the Fire Palace.
He didn’t enter the Fire Palace imdiately. Even though he had succeeded as the chieftain, he still needed to et with the clan mbers, get to know them, and entering the Fire Palace right away would give people a bad impression and make them feel like he was too eager to be the chieftain.
Standing in front of the steps of the Fire Palace, behind him was the colossal World Stone.
At Lin Zhen’s summons, the people of the Fire Kirin Clan gradually gathered in front of the Fire Palace.
However, these clan mbers did not seem as enthusiastic as imagined. Their gazes at Lin Zhen were filled with scrutiny, inspection, and even pity, making Lin Zhen feel a bit strange.
The Fire Kirin Clan was not very populous. After all, kirins, such rare Galaxy Beasts, were few in number. The entire Fire Kirin Clan had only a little over ten thousand mbers.
Lin Zhen stood in front of the Fire Palace, looking at the sparse crowd below, and asked, “Is everyone here yet?”
The one who answered him was a young man who had previously spoken with Lin Zhen. He seed to have a good impression of Lin Zhen and replied, “Chieftain, basically everyone is here, it’s just the few elders haven’t arrived yet.”
“Oh, how many elders do we have in our clan?”
“Chieftain, we have a total of four elders in our clan, they are Elder Li, Elder Wang, Elder Sima, and Elder Qin, however, it seems that Elder Qin has already…”
“He’s already dead.”
“Then there are only three elders and none of them are here yet.”
Lin Zhen frowned slightly, wondering what these few elders were up to. Were they trying to show him who’s boss? He had just taken office as the chieftain and they were acting like this.
However, Lin Zhen didn’t intend to argue with them. Since he had just taken office as the chieftain, it was better to gather everyone’s hearts first.
After waiting for a full ten minutes and the three elders still hadn’t arrived, Lin Zhen grew impatient and asked the young man, “What’s your na?”
“Reporting to the chieftain, my na is Lin Chuang.”
“Oh!” Lin Zhen showed a smile, “It’s quite a coincidence that you’re also a Lin. In that case, you go and find out what the few elders are doing, and let them co here imdiately.”
“Yes, Chieftain.” Lin Chuang happily left to carry out the order.
“No need, Xiao Linzi. We old bones are a bit slow, and it’s understandable for us to walk slowly. As expected, a young person like you can’t keep calm.” As he spoke, a few elders arrived by stepping on the void, with Elder Li in the middle and Elder Wang and Elder Sima beside him.
Lin Zhen’s eyebrows furrowed, it was obvious that those words weren’t ant for Lin Chuang. It seed that these people really didn’t intend to give him any face.
That’s fine, he would see what they were capable of. He was the chieftain now, and if they dared to continue being so presumptuous, Lin Zhen didn’t mind teaching them a lesson.
The three elders landed from the air and wobbled through the crowd to stand in front of Lin Zhen.
Elder Li looked Lin Zhen up and down, “You’re Lin Zhen?”
Lin Zhen laughed, “Before you start talking to , shouldn’t you call ‘chieftain’ and then introduce yourself by na? Haven’t you seen the video of Clan Leader Saga’s final monts?”
Elder Li was choked for a mont, and Elder Wang beside him imdiately said, “Of course we’ve seen the video, otherwise, we wouldn’t have co when you summoned us. But as an elder of the Fire Kirin Clan, I want to ask you, do you think your strength is enough to lead the rise of the Fire Kirin Clan?”
Elder Sima also said, “That’s right, our Fire Kirin Clan’s status in the Star River Giant Beast Alliance isn’t very high, and we need a strong leader to lead us towards glory. Although your strength, Lin Zhen, is barely passable, when it cos to being a chieftain…I’m afraid there are many others in the clan who are more suitable than you.”
Elder Wang added, “In Martial Artists World, strength is king. Lin Zhen, you’re still young and have a long way to go. Why don’t you take your ti and return to the Holy Land for a hundred years of cultivation before coming back to talk? In the anti, we won’t have a chieftain, and anyway, a hundred years will pass quickly, how do you feel about this?”
Lin Zhen sneered. If he were to go back for a hundred years, by the ti he returned, the Fire Kirin Clan would probably have a new leader, and no one would recognize him anymore.
Even if he didn’t want to be the chieftain, he couldn’t lose to these elders now.
But before Lin Zhen could say anything, Elder Li, who had just been choked by Lin Zhen’s words, said coldly, “The clan leader handed the position to you, but we need to see if the clan mbers support you. Raise your hand if you support Lin Zhen as the chieftain.”
Lin Zhen’s gaze fell, and he saw only Lin Chuang raise his hand, and apart from him, there were only a sparse few dozen people.
Seeing the situation, Lin Zhen was taken aback. Although he was new, he didn’t think he would have so few supporters. There must have been sothing he wasn’t aware of.
Elder Li sneered, “See, your strength isn’t enough, and everyone won’t recognize you. Do you think you’re suitable to be a chieftain under such circumstances?”
Lin Zhen took a deep breath, knowing that at this point, he had to prove his strength.
Moreover, it couldn’t be a fight with soone else, for a comitting fratricide chieftain would not be supported at all.
Looking around, Lin Zhen saw the World Stone behind him.
He lifted his foot, and with a light jump, landed on the World Stone.
On the World Stone, the Landis Spear that made Lin Zhen’s heart race was inserted.
“What are you going to do? Didn’t you already try pulling that spear? If you can’t pull it, don’t try again.” Elder Wang shouted.
Elder Li pulled Elder Wang back, “Why do you care so much? In a mont when he can’t pull the spear again, he’ll naturally have no face to stay. As long as he hands over the chieftain’s seal, we can expel him, so he won’t know about the arrival of the rcenaries, and use the chieftain’s identity to resist, causing us all to suffer.”
They didn’t imdiately reveal the rcenaries’ arrival, fearing that Lin Zhen would learn of it and beco even more unwilling to hand over the chieftain position.
Now Lin Zhen was actively trying to pull the spear again, it was just what they wanted.
In their opinion, Lin Zhen was just struggling in despair. He had just failed to pull the spear, and now he was trying again, who in the world could do such a thing?
So they just watched the drama unfold with amusent.
**********
When Lin Zhen stepped onto the World Stone, his eyes could no longer see anything else.
The ancient long spear in front of him glead with a faint blue light, and the rough spear shaft sohow gave him a particular sense of reliability.
He reached out to grip the spear shaft, and it trembled slightly.
Lin Zhen closed his eyes, feeling quietly.
Within the spear shaft, the Four Elents Flower faintly appeared, resonating strangely with the Four Elents Flower inside Lin Zhen’s body.
In an instant, elental energy flickered all over Lin Zhen’s body, causing the ancient spear, which had been stuck here since ancient tis, to tremble and emit an obscure humming sound!
This scene left everyone dumbfounded!
It was well known that, since the day the long spear was stuck here, no one had been able to make it waver in the slightest, let alone cause it to tremble and hum like this.
“How is that possible? The Spear of Landis actually moved!”
“Resonance! How can this spear resonate with soone else? Isn’t there a Four Elents Flower inside the spear shaft? Without activating the power of the Four Elents Flower, it’s impossible to pull out the spear!”
“Lin Zhen is the Black Hole Beast, not a mutated Four Elents Kylin, how did he do it?”
The crowd below was noisy, but it didn’t affect Lin Zhen. After gripping the spear shaft, Lin Zhen felt a trace of soul power.
That was the lingering mory of Landis’ soul, hidden within the Four Elents Flower.
Since Lin Zhen’s Black Hole Devouring had already devoured Heigu two months ago, he could not devour another soul. So, when he grasped the long spear and sensed Landis’s soul, he was unable to devour it.
However, Lin Zhen was not afraid. If it ca down to the strength of the soul, he truly did not fear anyone.
Moreover, he could feel that this soul’s power seed to bear no malice.
There were no words, no sound, only an elusive, intangible shadow surrounding the Four Elents Flower, reluctant to leave for a long ti.
Lin Zhen remained silent, quietly feeling the emotions contained within the other’s soul.
He could clearly feel Landis’ love for his race. A true hero who dedicated everything to his tribe, he earned the title of the Fire Kirin Clan erecting a statue of him at their door.
“Landis, please rest assured, with this long spear in my hands, I’ll make sure it shines as it deserves. Since I’ve taken over as the Fire Kirin’s chieftain, I, Lin Zhen, will do my best for the Fire Kirin Clan, for Clan Chief Saga and for you.”
At this mont, Lin Zhen’s previous feelings of perfunctoriness vanished.
Now that he had beco the Black Hole Beast by chance, he was inextricably linked with the Fire Kirin Clan. Lin Zhen felt that his ho had been in the New World before, but starting today, he had a ho in the Original World, a large family, the Fire Kirin Clan.
As these sincere emotions arose in Lin Zhen’s heart, a miracle happened!
A mory was forcibly imprinted in Lin Zhen’s mind!
This was not obtained through Lin Zhen’s Black Hole Devouring, but given voluntarily by the other party.
The mory contained a set of spear techniques Landis used during his lifeti.
The na of the spear technique was Ti, an original creation by Landis, containing the unique ultimate technique of the four elents – Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind.
This spear technique had four moves: Spring Earth, Sumr Stream Fire, Autumn Wind, and Winter’s Chill.
With the combination of the Four Elents Flower, the power of this spear technique even exceeded that of ordinary Holy Land Martial Arts!
Others couldn’t learn this spear technique, and even if they could, they wouldn’t be able to use it because only Lin Zhen had the unique Four Elents Flower in the world.
A virtual silhouette demonstrated the spear technique in Lin Zhen’s mind, allowing him to comprehend it quickly. This was the last power of Landis’ soul.
In a blink of an eye, more than an hour had passed.
Underneath the World Stone, Elder Li and the others had beco impatient.
Lin Zhen went on to make a little disturbance, then grabbed the spear shaft and stood still. They wondered if he could pull it out, or at least explain what was the matter since he hadn’t moved.
Elder Li cast a glance at a few people, who imdiately started arguing and verbally attacking Lin Zhen on the giant rock.
“Can you do it or not? If not, just co down!”
“Exactly, what’s with all this dragging on, are we all supposed to wait for you?”
“You’ve beco the chieftain, but you shouldn’t play around with everyone like this. Maybe you don’t know what’s going on yet?”
Amidst the noise, Lin Zhen slowly opened his eyes.
“No matter what happened before, from now on, it won’t matter anymore!”
“Rise!”
Lin Zhen suddenly shouted, and a ray of light burst from where the spear and giant rock connected, quickly transforming into countless rays of light, like the brilliant, dazzling and hopeful light breaking through the dawn!
