This is really not mechanical ascension Chapter 1059 - 544: "Azure Dragon, It’s Cold—Put on an Extra

Suddenly, all X Level Life Forms in the eting hall turned their attention to the staff mber speaking hesitantly in the corner.

In an instant, the staff mber’s face flushed red; the pressure from the high-level Life Forms almost caused his heart to burst, blood surged to his head, and his complexion turned red.

Gusta frowned and with a re wave of his hand, the pressure dissipated completely.

The staff mber staggered back, hit the wall, then lay down face-up; although bleeding from all orifices, his life was spared.

However, none of the high-level Life Forms present paid attention to this minor character, their gaze fell beside him.

Underneath the virtual projector, several shimring blue beams intertwined, and a virtual projection gradually erged.

As the virtual projection descended, Li Ming naturally did not use a chanical body, instead utilizing the mimicry he’d adopted in the Land of Stars, which was the original Azure Dragon.

At the sa ti, the room Li Ming occupied began to sketch out the scene of the eting hall.

The first to appear was, naturally, the staff mber bleeding at his feet.

"Hmm..." Li Ming raised an eyebrow, "There’s indeed a bleeding conflict, but wait, you seem to be staff?"

Li Ming beca interested, squatting beside the staff mber, who had seemingly only just regained clarity, breathing heavily, his consciousness blurring again as he saw the virtual projection before him.

As he recognized it, his pupils suddenly contracted, his mouth opened wide, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted again.

"This..." Li Ming was astonished, and then a staff mber rushed into the virtual scene, quickly ran over, and while pulling him away, apologized in a whisper: Sorry, Lord Azure Dragon, sorry for the disturbance.

"It’s fine." Li Ming didn’t mind, replying casually.

anwhile, the virtual scene around him sketched out more figures.

Li Ming then realized sothing was off; it seed everyone in the hall was staring at him.

And their expressions were peculiar, discreetly observing, wary, even fearful.

The atmosphere onsite made him feel vaguely uneasy.

Especially Gusta, as well as Anatoli, and the Council Seat mbers, all looked at him with very complex glances, Anduin even held a subtle sense of gratification.

What the hell?

Li Ming felt baffled; intuition told him sothing important had occurred and it was closely related to him.

Before he could speak, he received a signal connection from Mikhail.

"...Azure Dragon..." Mikhail said in a complex tone, "Sothing just happened..."

"Haha..." Reynolds abruptly connected into the signal, "Azure Dragon, wasn’t this surprise I gave you nice? I released the video of you beating up Tan Ding and Alves at the ti."

"Huh?" Li Ming was slightly stunned, "When did I beat up Tan Ding and Alves?"

"Close enough, close enough." Reynolds was indifferent.

Mikhail was vaguely irritated: "This idiot... anyway, here’s what happened..."

Mikhail’s narration was more concise, summarizing the recent events in just a few sentences.

No wonder they looked at like that, Li Ming thought, increasingly astonished, glancing at Reynolds, his emotions stirred, unable to speak a word.

This... was too reckless; if an anomaly occurred, and they deduced sothing from the video, a small matter could beco a big one.

As for the seat, he wasn’t particularly concerned.

"Don’t worry, I carefully edited it; there’s no chance of any bodies being seen or deduced." Reynolds couldn’t help but add:

"It’s not only for you; we have to show an attitude to prevent Empire Federation from extending further, truly making us hand over the chanical Evolution Path."

"Indeed." Li Ming replied lightly, "There should indeed be so intimidation."

"Ha!" Reynolds patted Mikhail’s shoulder, showing tallic teeth as he grinned, "See, I knew Azure Dragon would understand ."

Mikhail couldn’t be bothered with him; the matter had already occurred, Azure Dragon was quite clever, and would hardly criticize this ss.

Though he was quite unhappy inside, Reynolds’ words did contain so truth; it’s just that he would never choose to intimidate in this manner.

And because of their secret communication, the entire eting hall remained silently still during his few minutes of appearance.

It seed everyone was waiting for him to speak first.

Li Ming returned to his senses, glanced around briefly, pausing his gaze on those official X Level Life Forms, especially Yalta.

According to what Mikhail said, this guy was his challenger.

After a short contemplation, he spoke his first words, "Greetings, everyone."

As soon as the words fell, the stagnant atmosphere imdiately livened up, "Greetings, Lord Azure Dragon..."

"..."

Everyone engaged in greetings with him, seemingly eager to approach and converse; Li Ming responded to each with a smile.

In the corner, Gusta watched with a faint gaze, and beside him, Anatoli couldn’t help but remark, "Really, it’s astonishing."

"What’s so surprising, didn’t you already witness it during the Desolate Channel?" Gusta said indifferently.

"It’s not the sa." Anatoli shook his head, seemingly wanting to say sothing but was restrained by the virtual projection from using spiritual fluctuations for secret communication, ultimately just repeating, "Not the sa..."

Li Ming animatedly greeted everyone until finally asking, "I’ve heard the Council Seat challenge has already begun?"

The atmosphere in the hall, which had previously beco lively, sank again, as many people discreetly shifted their gaze toward the group of official X Level Life Forms.

Yalta furrowed his brow tightly, refusing to believe Azure Dragon could truly beat up Tan Ding and Alves, but he certainly wasn’t soone he could defeat either.

Being temporarily unclear about the situation, he naturally wouldn’t speak rashly.

"Lord Yalta."

Azure Dragon directly nad him.

"I’m here; what do you have to say?" Li Ming asked in a calm tone.

Though it was only a virtual projection, not a true descent, it vaguely carried a substantial oppressive presence.

The official X Level Life Forms remained silent; neither Empire nor Federation would speak, and the few from the Star Alliance furrowed their brows tightly.

Yalta’s expression shifted but soon cald, "Nothing, Lord Azure Dragon, true to your na."

Anduin couldn’t help but sneer at these cowardly bullies.

Several other Council Seat mbers also relaxed considerably.

At least, they managed to regain so ground in the end.

Just as Yalta finished speaking, a sudden voice ca, "I have an announcent to make..."

Perkins’ virtual projection passed straight through the others to the center, making the scaled-down Blood Giant look sowhat peculiar.

Her gaze landed on Azure Dragon without the slightest hesitation, and she said directly, "I want to resign my Vice Chairman position to Azure Dragon."

Everyone was taken aback, their expressions turning playful, click click... how co they’re yielding now?

Li Ming was speechless inside, once again dealt another surprise.

Can’t they notify him in advance next ti sothing like this happens?

"No!" Nokes imdiately interrupted, "This is too frivolous; there’s no such rule."

Currently, the Star Alliance had only lost Azure Dragon from holding a Council Seat, but if Azure Dragon beca Vice Chairman, they’d lose significantly more.

"I consider myself inferior to Azure Dragon, isn’t it acceptable?" Perkins’ stance was quite forceful: "Moreover, you’re just ordinary mbers now, lacking the qualifications to demand from ."

"Or, we can conduct a Council Seat vote on-site; I advocate."

"I advocate!" Anduin was still the first to agree.

"I also advocate."

"Advocate!"

"..."

"I refuse." Li Ming said frowning.

Everyone paused, unperturbed, Azure Dragon would certainly cast a dissenting vote; voting for oneself would not look good.

Apart from Gusta, Anatoli, and the opposing Azure Dragon, it was unanimous support.

Perkins had two votes, adding up to eight votes, already the majority.

Their opposition was aningless; Gusta and Anatoli ultimately could only vote in favor.

"Fortunately, the Council Seat has been reshuffled." Anatoli observed coldly, while Gusta remained silent.

Although this situation was caused by a special circumstance’s vengeful voting, such charisma is indeed very formidable.

If the Council Seat wasn’t reshuffled, it would almost beco Azure Dragon’s one-man rule.

Everyone was dumbstruck; did the Vice Chairman’s succession just complete?

Only Reynolds grinned widely, laughing heartily.

Mikhail frowned deeply, collectively endorsed, with high expectations; he’d hardly experienced such a feeling.

"Yet... this may not be a good thing." He sighed quietly to himself.

Perkins looked calmly on, "Azure Dragon, now you are indeed the Vice Chairman."

Li Ming’s expression was complex, seemingly also sowhat helpless.

How was it that throughout the whole process, not one person ever asked his opinion, and he had cast a dissenting vote!
