After Ironblood Ruthless, ranked thirty-first on the Inferno City leaderboard and guarding the beginner arena, was instantly killed with one slash, the berserker Ironblood Mission guarding the intermediate arena and the magic knight Ironblood Nemesis guarding the advanced arena immediately felt unprecedented pressure.
Because their strength was actually even lower than Ironblood Ruthless's, which was why they had been placed behind him.
Ironblood Ruthless was a breakthrough point.
Once this breakthrough point was opened, the two defensive lines behind him still had the power to fight against ordinary opponents.
But against Lin Mo's clone, they were no different from decorations.
Slash!
-81256 (Critical Hit)!
[Announcement: "Ding~ Congratulations to player Mo for defeating Ironblood Mission and becoming the new champion of the intermediate undead arena."]
Slash!
-73666 (Critical Hit)!
[Announcement: "Ding~ Congratulations to player Mo for defeating Ironblood Nemesis and becoming the new champion of the advanced undead arena."]
There was no enemy that couldn't be solved with one slash.
Around the arena, tens of thousands of players personally witnessed Mo use only three slashes to instantly kill the Ironblood Guild's three strongest arena defenders.
One slash for each leaderboard expert.
The terrifying killing power he displayed shocked the entire crowd.
Among the crowd, the Ironblood Guild players also felt chills run down their backs.
"Damn! This Mo is actually this strong? He can even one-shot our guild leader, Ironblood Ruthless?"
"One slash and eighty thousand critical damage each time? What the hell, he's killing everything in existence."
"This damage is way too ridiculous! I'm also an assassin, and I'm even one level higher than him! His damage is over ten times mine!"
"We're screwed! This time we really ran into a monster!"
On the Golden Age Guild side, everyone's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief.
Only Gao Han showed a trace of admiration in his eyes.
"Good!"
"Now this is real talent worthy of the nation!"
The entire crowd's attention was focused on Mo.
At this moment, Mo was like the favored son of heaven, surrounded by attention like stars around the moon.
Seeing this scene, Zhao Lingyun felt envy in her heart.
She was like a grain of sand in the desert, looking up at the bright sun high in the sky.
How she wished that the person standing high above and shining brilliantly right now could be her.
But this was ultimately impossible.
In this lifetime, she would never have such a glorious moment again.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Director Zhang hurriedly stepped forward to claim credit, "President Gao! This Mo is from my Qingfeng Studio!"
Gao Han looked at Director Zhang, "Oh? Then why did nobody answer when I asked whose subordinate he was earlier?"
Director Zhang chuckled awkwardly, "Sorry, President Gao, I didn't notice earlier because this Mo only joined Qingfeng Studio recently."
"But he really is a member of Qingfeng Studio. I have his employment records right here if you want to see them, President Gao."
"There's no need to prove it to me," Gao Han saw through Director Zhang's thoughts at a glance, "Even if he's your man, it's his personal ability that stands out. It doesn't have much to do with you."
In front of so many people, Director Zhang's smile stiffened and he instantly fell into embarrassment, looking like a clown.
At this time, seeing Mo walk down from the arena, Director Zhang hurried to show himself and immediately pointed at Mo, scolding him in a leader's tone, "Why are you coming down? Who told you to come down?"
"You only get rank boost scroll rewards by continuously defending the arena! Why aren't you hurrying back up there to defend it and win scrolls for President Gao?"
Under Lin Mo's command, the clone ignored Director Zhang and directly faced Gao Han, getting straight to the point, "President Gao, you said earlier that if I helped you take the undead arena, there would be a reward."
Director Zhang immediately exploded in anger, "You haven't even started defending the arena yet and you already want rewards? Where do you get the nerve? At the very least, you should first get some rank scrolls for President Gao before talking about this!"
Gao Han raised a hand, signaling Director Zhang to shut up.
Looking at Mo with admiration, he asked, "What reward do you want?"
"You can make any request."
Lin Mo had never forgotten the reason he made the clone join Golden Age Guild.
And after going through so much effort, this sentence from Gao Han was exactly what he had been waiting for.
Swish!
Mo suddenly raised his hand and pointed at Zhao Lingyun beside Director Zhang, saying to Gao Han, "I want her to be my girlfriend."
The moment the clone received Lin Mo's command and openly said those words, Zhao Lingyun raised her head, and the instant her eyes met Mo's, her mind jumped back to a few months ago.
At this moment, the suspicion in her mind was finally fully confirmed.
'It's him!'
'So it really was him.'
'The one who sent me messages encouraging me before... Mo!'
Director Zhang instantly flew into rage from embarrassment.
Pointing at Mo, he cursed furiously with a twisted expression, "Fack! No wonder you two were making eyes at each other before! From the moment you joined my Qingfeng Studio, you came for Ling'er, didn't you? So you two already knew each other!"
Lin Mo completely ignored Director Zhang.
Controlling the clone, he asked Gao Han, "Can President Gao agree to this one request?"
As soon as he said this, Director Zhang hurriedly said to Gao Han, "President Gao! Zhao Lingyun is my fiancee! I already gave the bride price money to her family! You absolutely cannot agree to this request!"
"These things should naturally depend on mutual feelings. They can't be forced. After all, Ling'er is a person, not a product," The clone continued receiving commands from its master, looking at Zhao Lingyun while asking Gao Han, "Why not ask Ling'er herself what she wants?"
At this moment, it could be seen that after Mo voluntarily withdrew from the undead arena, the three arenas had already been retaken and occupied by Ironblood Guild players.
No matter how the outside players challenged them, they remained unmoved.
The situation had returned to its original state again.
But Gao Han knew very clearly: with Mo's strength, taking back those arena champion positions for him again would be effortless.
And aside from Mo, there was nobody else in Golden Age Guild who could do it.
In the end, Gao Han still valued Mo's worth and ability.
So he agreed to his request and personally asked Zhao Lingyun, "Who are you willing to be with?"
Before Zhao Lingyun could make a choice, she saw Director Zhang beside her glaring at her viciously, looking as if he wanted to swallow her alive.
Faced with such naked threats, Gao Han said to the hesitant Zhao Lingyun, "Just follow your own heart and make your own choice. I'll back you up."
Just as Lin Mo expected: what Zhao Lingyun feared was never Director Zhang.
It was Gao Han.
Now that Gao Han himself had personally said this, Zhao Lingyun no longer had any worries.
She raised her hand, pointed at Mo, and said with a red face, "Him..."
Gao Han was a smart man. At this moment, he could also tell that Zhao Lingyun had been forced to stay with Director Zhang for some unavoidable reason.
And the person she truly cared about was Mo.
For Gao Han, this was a good thing.
Because he knew: people with no desires were the hardest to handle.
Since Mo had a request, as long as his request was fulfilled, his loyalty could be won over.
"Good."
Gao Han said to Director Zhang, "A forced melon isn't sweet. Feelings can't be forced, so there's no need for you to force others either."
"Report the bride price money you gave Zhao Ling'er's family to finance. I'll return it to you on her behalf as this month's bonus."
Then Gao Han said to Zhao Lingyun, "Go. I already said I'll back you up."
"From today onward, whoever dares trouble you, I, Gao Han, will cripple him."
As soon as Gao Han said this, Director Zhang realized he was warning him specifically. He instantly trembled in fear and stopped himself from speaking.
Everything he had was given by Gao Han.
He could not afford to offend someone as powerful as Gao Han.
Burying all his unwillingness and hatred deep inside, director Zhang could only helplessly watch Zhao Lingyun leave his side and run step by step toward Mo.
