Chapter 523: Blind Worship Costs Lives

The end of the suffocating confrontation allowed all the other warriors present there to breathe a sigh of relief.

Many people looked at Ye Lingchen with convoluted expressions and began talking in a low voice.

"He's Ye Lingchen? That legendary ruthless man?"

"F*ck me, he's really ruthless. One person can hunt so many beasts and genetic warriors. He's so strong."

"He seems to be at odds with Chief Zheng. No one knows which one is better than the other."

"He's just an Upper-Class Warrior. Chief Zheng is a Middle-Class Sentinel. He's really stubborn if he dares to challenge Chief Zheng!"

"Was he the one who said 'those who hold on to their principles are superior in their morality' and 'sweat more in training and shed less blood on the battlefield'? F*ck, my idol!"

"I never imagined him to be so young. It's a pity that the two of them did not fight, otherwise it'd be a good show!"

...

Many people even approached Wu Yue to inquire about the situation.

"Wu Yue, what's going on? Why is that Ye Lingchen so arrogant? It really is different meeting him in person and hearing about him."

"Yeah, what he said about holding him back....he's too unrestrained. He barely stopped short of saying that he's the number one in this world."

"It's no wonder that Chief Zheng was angry. Such people are so arrogant that they don't know the limits of their own abilities."

Wu Yue glanced at them faintly and said with a hint of pride, "You've never seen Chief Ye in action. It's normal for you to have such doubts."

"Wu Yue, what do you mean by this?"

"Chief Ye is strong. Very strong! I believe...all his words!" Wu Yue said firmly. The other fourteen team members beside him nodded. In their hearts, Ye Lingchen's figure had always been an insurmountable mountain.

"F*ck, is he that good? Well, in your opinion, who would win if Chief Zheng fought with Chief Ye?"

Wu Yue did not even think about it and immediately answered, "Definitely Chief Ye. Without a doubt!"

"I don't think so. We've all seen Chief Zheng's combat power with our own eyes. He single-handedly relied on his combat achievements to become a Middle-Class Sentinel!"

"Yes, Chief Zheng completes his missions with drive and passion. I've never seen anyone else train harder than him!"

"I heard that Chief Zheng became an Inner Strength Warrior a year ago. His strength is definitely stronger now!"

"Chief Ye is so young. Even if he starts practicing from his mother's womb, to what extent could his martial arts practice be? The only way he could win against Chief Zheng is if he's overpowered!

"Wu Yue, you're worshipping blindly and you can't recognize reality anymore."

"Hey, blind worship costs lives..."

...

At this moment, Ye Lingchen looked at Lin Ao with a questioning look in his eyes.

He thought he had been low-key enough and it came as a complete surprise that someone treated him with hostility for no reason.

"Brother Ye, don't take this matter to heart. That guy is a little bit paranoid." Lin Ao smiled and started introducing Zheng Yu. "Zheng Yu is thirty-nine years old this year and has loved martial arts since he was eight. He even learned acrobatics and officially joined the martial arts department at the age of sixteen. Since then, he had demonstrated extraordinary martial arts talent. He had no background, no wealth, no contacts, and forcibly relied on the accumulation of achievements to become a Middle-Class Sentinel."

"In that case, it's a personal thing!" Ye Lingchen nodded. Although Ye Lingchen was overpowered, he sincerely respected such hard-working people. "Did you offend him?"

"Fart! This guy is very nice, but the problem is that he's paranoid!" Lin Ao rolled his eyes. "He came from the bottom, so he has a natural sense of hostility to a tall, rich, and handsome man like me. He feels that I entered the Warrior's Department because of connections and isn't worthy of attention. As for you... I guess he also thought that you came in through the back door and knew people in high places..."

Ye Lingchen shook his head. "I don't agree with what you said."

"Huh?" Lin Ao was slightly taken aback.

"Please remove the word 'handsome' from 'tall, rich, and handsome'. Thanks."

Lin Ao coughed dryly. "Actually, even if I want to get rid of that word, my conscience won't allow it."

...

The night was getting darker, but that night was destined to be a sleepless one.

The once-peaceful internet was suddenly sent into a frenzy because of the appearance of a video. Like a wildfire igniting a prairie, it instantly blazed across netizens, and left countless people sleepless and discussing it throughout the night.

Little Mo was a night owl. In fact, she did not want to be a night owl, but under the pressure of life, she suffered from insomnia almost every night.

Just as she was tossing around in bed from both mental and physical exhaustion, her cell phone made a soft 'dingdong' sound.

She always set her cell phone to mute whenever she went to bed. Only notifications for certain news or people would set off a notification.

What else was there when it was already so late?

She yawned and begrudgingly lifted her hand hard to locate her phone, but she noticed that there was a Weibo push notification on the phone screen.

That news was crowned by Weibo as the most followed, hottest, and most heated title currently being discussed.

"A monster appeared! Superman Y's reappearance!"

Although Superman Y remained mysterious, he received a high degree of attention and Little Mo was his diehard fan too.

After seeing that headline however, she could not help but sneer. There was disappointment in her heart. What the hell was that? There must be a limit to cock-and-bull stories. It was unscrupulous of the media to hype everything up like that!

Despite the grumbles in her heart, she still clicked on the news.

The content of the video was the image of the Capital City hi-tech industrial development zone being attacked by wild animals. The appearance of black panthers, bloody scenes, wild boars, giant wolves, and brown bears, accompanied by everyone's screams, sent fear into Little Mo's heart.

It was even more disturbing to watch the black panther attacking the child, causing Little Mo to scream out of fright.

The next moment however, Superman Y showed up!

It was very much like a fantasy, and throughout the entire video, it was similar to watching a movie. Little Mo's heart had some difficulty calming down because of that.

This... Was that true or not?

Before she knew it, her hands trembled slightly and she was stunned when she watched the video.

It was fake, right? Those beasts had already mutated and they looked very weird. Was it possible that they became demonized?

Still, the actions of those people in the video told her that it was all true.

If there were so many groups acting, it was surely impossible for each of them to have such good acting skills.

All Little Mo could feel was her scalp going numb and her blood felt like it had curdled. Harboring a plethora of complex emotions, she clicked on the comments under the video.

Unsurprisingly, the comment area...had exploded long ago!

[F*ck? F*ck! F*ck?!]

Only

[Is it real or not? Can anyone tell me if it's real?!]

[Upstairs, I can bear full responsibility and tell you that it's absolutely, certifiably real! This location is in the Capital City Development Zone!]

[As unbelievable as it is, I can't find any traces of photoshop or video editing on those weird-looking beasts. The actions of Superman Y don't have any special effects too, it's...REAL!]

[F*CK! Really?! What the motherf*cking hell is going on? Have the beasts become demonized and are going on a rampage to destroy the world?]

[F*ck! I watched this video thirty times! For real! Too awesome, too handsome! Superman Y deserves the name of Superman!]

[This is the first time Superman Y came into action, right? Never expected him to be so strong. I got so excited while watching that I almost jumped off the balcony. Luckily, my wife grabbed me.]

[Upstairs, stop teasing. You don't even have a wife.]
