Chapter 1754: Are You Picking a Fight on Purpose?

The large man’s laughter abruptly stopped, thinking he had misheard.

How could anyone be so shameless!

Looking around, the big guy suddenly realized it was quiet all around, not a single person speaking.

A few kind-hearted adventurers looked slightly flustered but did not immediately step in to help, planning to observe a bit longer.

All signs indicated he hadn’t misheard.

If he hadn’t misheard, and this young man said such a thing, there was another possibility...

"Young man, don’t joke around. I’m saying this to be polite."

The big guy grinned again, convinced that what Yang Yu had said was merely a joke.

Not just any joke can be said casually.

Now, I’ll give you one more chance; if you’re joking, I can just laugh it off.

If not...

A hint of ruthlessness flashed in the big guy’s eyes.

Yang Yu grinned at the big guy, whose brows instantly relaxed, feeling smug, thinking the kid was just joking; how could he dare to speak such words seriously?

The big guy hadn’t been happy for long when Yang Yu’s expression abruptly changed, and he spoke seriously again:

"Everyone present heard it.

It was you who told me to drink casually, to take whatever I wanted.

What?

Seeing me wanting to take all the wine here, you’re backing out?"

The big guy and Yang Yu locked eyes, and he could see that Yang Yu was serious.

The smile instantly vanished from the big guy’s face, disappearing without a trace:

"You’re picking a fight on purpose, aren’t you?

You’re simply shameless!

A newcomer like you, I could crush ten with one hand."

A massive fist slammed onto Yang Yu’s table, instantly cracking it.

Calmly standing up, Yang Yu raised his head high, "Newcomer? Only you think so.

I’m not some newcomer.

The words you spoke to me, I’m giving them back to you verbatim.

For someone like you, I could crush ten with just one finger."

"What!" The big guy instantly flew into a rage and swung his massive fist at Yang Yu’s head.

"Watch out!"

Several onlooking adventurers cried out, and a few newbie adventurers closed their eyes, trying to avoid witnessing a gruesome scene.

Against everyone’s expectations, Yang Yu truly just extended one finger and blocked the big guy’s attack.

As fist and finger collided, a frenzied hurricane roared, and the big guy widened his eyes in disbelief.

The next second, Yang Yu pulled back his arm with force, instantly sending the big guy flying backward.

The big guy crashed into countless tables and chairs, with a "bang," hitting the wall of the adventurer guild, causing the entire guild to shake.

Amid the rising smoke, the big guy, unwilling to accept it, released multiple enhancement skills in succession, charging towards Yang Yu.

That despicable man must have used some kind of trick; as long as he attacked again, he could expose his ruse!

The big guy was so convinced, but reality once again brutally slapped him in the face.

Yang Yu’s figure suddenly disappeared from where he stood, the next moment appearing in front of the big guy, poking his forefinger at the big guy’s chest.

At that instant, the big guy seemed to hear the sound of a few ribs cracking from his chest, freezing his movements.

In another instant, Yang Yu completely vanished from in front of the big guy, returning to his original seat.

Coming back to his senses, the big guy clutched his chest, painfully dropping to his knees, a mouthful of blood spurting out.

His face full of panic, it seemed today, he had provoked someone he shouldn’t have.

The onlookers were all stunned, not expecting that the previously imposing big guy would be defeated so quickly.

Yang Yu, as if nothing had happened, asked:

"Do the words you just said still count?"

The big guy, clenching his teeth, unwilling but helpless, could only bitterly nod:

"I... my words still count.

If you want all the wine here... you can have it all.

Please... forgive my earlier actions...

Spare my life."

Yang Yu exhaled a long breath, "I can’t drink that much wine myself.

It would be quite troublesome to take it all.

Today, coming here is also a kind of fate.

The wine you owe me, please treat everyone here!

Everyone present shares in this!"

Even though his heart bled, the big guy could only agree: "...I’ll treat everyone.

...I’ll do it."

Instantly, the adventurer guild boiled over; today there was free wine to drink!

The big guy glared bitterly at the surrounding people, scaring them into silence.

It was Yang Yu who called the receptionist to bring out all the wine, leading the crowd in opening a bottle. Only then did the onlookers drink happily and cheer again, all discussing the true identity of the man before them.

Amidst the noise, a tall figure stepped into the adventurer guild.

The person Yang Yu had been waiting for had finally arrived.

The leader of [Dragon God’s Might], Glantham, surveyed the adventurer guild and quickly identified the instigator of the chaos.

Helplessly waving to Yang Yu, he signaled for him to leave, and just as he arrived, Glantham left the adventurer guild.

Passing through the bustling town, entering the nearby forest, Glantham, unusually, began to complain: "I told you not to cause a disturbance."

Yang Yu spread his hands: "I’ve been trying to restrain myself. But there are always some people looking for trouble."

Hearing this, Glantham didn’t continue the topic, instead saying: "The personnel we need are already in place.

Actually... you didn’t need to call us; you could have handled it yourselves, right?"

Yang Yu didn’t deny: "We could solve it.

But there’s no guarantee they’d stay in one place waiting for us.

If they saw things weren’t going well and ran away, it’s not something we could easily prevent.

You wouldn’t want to be running all over the world, right?

Moreover, having more people ensures safety.

I don’t want to underestimate the enemy and end up capsizing in a ditch.

So, we have to trouble you guys."

Glantham, deep in thought, nodded, accepting Yang Yu’s reasoning, and led him to meet up with the other members of [Dragon God’s Might].

After that, Yang Yu, along with the members of [Dragon God’s Might], found the pre-arranged Teleportation Magic Array to meet up with Bai Jin and the others.

The dark cave was illuminated by the Magic Lamp, with every member of [Chasing Origin Strategy] present, plus Yuan Yi, Tico, and Li Yan.

Originally, after the operation ended, Tico and Li Yan were supposed to return to the embrace of the All Things Library, but having witnessed so many secrets, they wanted to continue witnessing everything alongside Yang Yu, to see where he would guide the world’s future, so they stayed.

On the way to meet the goddess, one could never predict what might happen, and Yang Yu didn’t feel he had too much combat power.

Over the past two weeks of rest, Yang Yu had answered all the questions regarding twenty entries, piecing together the complete Sky Lock.

Before awakening the Sea Mother, there were still some significant hidden dangers to address, and Yang Yu and the team came for this purpose.
