Chapter 759: Yamashita Kazami
With the conclusion of the Ling Zang event.
The spectators quickly chose to leave the Radiant Secret Realm.
They were afraid that Ling Zhan would target them next.
After witnessing Ling Zhan's overwhelming strength firsthand, no one dared to underestimate this level-105 non-specialist anymore.
Of course...
Once this crowd of onlookers leaves, the events here will undoubtedly spread far and wide.
When that happens, Ling Zhan's reputation will resound throughout the Sacred Continent.
He single-handedly slew the Radiant Dragon King and annihilated the young elites of five major organizations, securing the most valuable rewards of this Radiant Treasury event.
But what was most shocking...
Was the reaction of his three teammates, Avril, Adolphus, and Ansely.
Especially Avril, who initially believed this non-specialist only joined because her mentor owed someone a favor.
Who would have thought that this non-specialist would be so terrifyingly powerful!
He had truly defied expectations.
Thinking back to her earlier belief that she could defeat Ling Zhan if she tried her best, she now realized how overconfident she had been.
Even if she had given her all, and even if there were several of her, she still wouldn't be able to defeat Ling Zhan.
"But..."
"Yamashita Masahiko died here, and he died by your hand. His older brother won't let this slide easily."
Avril sighed softly.
Yamashita Masahiko's older brother was Yamashita Kazami.
He was one of the deputy commanders of the Holy Knights and a level-170 powerhouse.
In terms of combat strength, he ranked among the top five within the Holy Knights.
The commander of the Holy Knights was level 180.
It's worth mentioning...
The commanders and deputy commanders of the Holy Knights were all true young elites.
Yamashita Kazami was known for fiercely protecting his brother. In the past, whenever Yamashita Masahiko caused trouble within the Holy Knights, Kazami would always clean up after him.
Now, if Yamashita Kazami learns that his younger brother died at Ling Zhan's hands, he will undoubtedly come after Ling Zhan.
The events here couldn't be hidden due to the large number of witnesses.
Once these spectators leave and spread the news, Ling Zhan will become famous but also a person of controversy.
Not to mention...
The five organizations—Demon Dragon Palace, Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance, Holy Sword Guild, Radiant Guild, and Shadow Moon Pavilion—will certainly not let Ling Zhan off the hook.
Demon Dragon Palace and Ten Thousand Beasts Alliance will likely go underground early since Zhang Mingruo and Ding Haoji's identities as members of the Demon Arrival Organization have been exposed.
Who would believe they had no ties to the Demon Arrival Organization?
This rumor was now confirmed as fact.
These two organizations will probably be targeted by all forces within the Sacred Continent, and the allied forces of various nations will surely take action to eliminate them.
So, on the surface, they won't be able to deal with Ling Zhan directly, but in the shadows, they will certainly seek revenge.
As for the Holy Sword Guild, Radiant Guild, and Shadow Moon Pavilion, they will apply pressure on the Holy Knights and begin targeting Ling Zhan.
But these aren't major problems; as long as Ling Zhan stays in the Holy City of Asar, these three organizations can't do anything to him.
Ling Zhan's only real concern is facing the wrath of Yamashita Kazami.
To this.
Ling Zhan calmly said, "It doesn't matter. If that little baka dares to trouble me, I won't mind killing one more."
Avril couldn't help but say, "Yamashita Kazami's strength is at level 170. The Radiant Dragon King wouldn't stand a chance against him. His power is beyond imagination. Are you sure you can confront him?"
Adolphus also spoke with a heavy tone, "Yamashita Masahiko may not have been strong, but his brother Yamashita Kazami is different. His talent and power are extraordinary, and his mentor is none other than the strongest Sword God of Fusang, Miyata Ichiro!"
"Yamashita Kazami was personally chosen by Miyata Ichiro due to his exceptional talent and relentless training. It's said that Yamashita Kazami has practiced drawing his sword a billion times, while his mentor has done so a trillion times."
"Within the Holy Knights, Yamashita Kazami may not have the highest overall strength, but his mastery of swordsmanship is unmatched. No Sword Saint can compare to him."
"His offensive power is incredibly potent. Even frontline warriors of the same level struggle to defend against his attacks..."
Adolphus's solemn expression revealed the weight of the situation.
By logic.
There are natural counters between different classes.
For example...
Tank classes counter burst damage classes.
Burst damage classes counter ranged classes.
Ranged classes counter tank classes.
Swordsmen fall under the burst damage class.
Warriors are frontline tank classes.
When swordsmen face warriors, they are naturally disadvantaged. At the same level, warriors hold the advantage because a swordsman's burst damage is almost negligible against a tank.
With high health, armor, damage reduction, and critical hit resistance, swordsmen can be rendered ineffective.
Even so...
Yamashita Kazami could handle warriors of the same level with ease, showing just how powerful he was.
No wonder Avril and Adolphus were so wary of him.
Yamashita Masahiko only managed to join their team because his brother personally asked Avril.
Avril wasn't afraid of Yamashita Kazami; she had her own mentor as backing, but she didn't want unnecessary trouble, so she agreed.
Now...
Even though Ling Zhan's feats were astonishing, his level was 65 levels lower than Yamashita Kazami's!
That was a massive difference.
Plus, Yamashita Kazami could easily crush the Radiant Dragon King.
With all factors considered, Avril and Adolphus were deeply concerned.
"I trust Ling Zhan. If he says it's fine, then it's fine!"
Only Ansely, driven by her unwavering admiration, firmly believed that Ling Zhan could defeat Yamashita Kazami.
"We'll deal with the future when it comes. For now, let's split the loot."
"I have control over the Radiant Grand Treasury. You can each select two items from the fifth floor."
"The rest will belong to me. Any objections?"
Ling Zhan waved his hand and spoke.
"No objections!"
Avril and the others quickly shook their heads.
What a joke!
How could they dare to have any objections?
In fact, even if Ling Zhan didn't give them a single item, they wouldn't say a word.
To be honest...
Without Ling Zhan, they would have faced a significant crisis.
Moreover...
Ling Zhan was the one who killed the Radiant Dragon King, so it was only natural for him to decide how the rewards were distributed.
The reason Ling Zhan allowed his teammates to pick items was simply to return the favor of them letting him join their team.
Ling Zhan never liked owing anyone.
The only reason he could participate in the Radiant Treasury mission was because Avril and the others agreed to include him.
Once Avril and her teammates finished selecting their items, the team officially concluded the Radiant Treasury mission and set off on their journey home.
