Chapter 1835 - 1838: Overlord Level

Chapter 1835: Chapter 1838: Overlord Level

When the conversation reached this point, Lin Feng and Lu Xiaobu no longer had the mood to drink and parted ways after exchanging glances.

If before, they only considered the Black Hand as a mere disruptor, now, he was their target for elimination!

Of course, the suspicion between them was inevitable.

The two collaborated and competed, both wary of the other allying with the Black Hand to take an unexpected turn.

That suspicion was necessary and instinctual.

Moreover, they certainly didn’t care!

After all, they were enemies, not friends, right?

Suspicion was the normal attitude!

The two went their separate ways.

Lin Feng chose to leave the Spirit Realm immediately, unclear on his intentions, but definitely checking on external matters.

As for Lu Xiaobu, he continued to wander in the Spirit Realm.

He didn’t move randomly but walked with a direction, akin to Shrinking Ground.

He certainly knew that someone must be fixating on him at this moment.

But he didn’t care.

Because, he had inferred one point from his transaction with Lin Feng.

That is, like them, the Black Hand in the Spirit Realm had virtually no substantial combat power!

The reason it’s "virtually" and not "absolutely" is that Lu Xiaobu still believed the other had means to restrain them.

However, Lu Xiaobu was certain the other wouldn’t dare to use them recklessly, only as a last resort.

That meant it was more of a mental contest here than a physical one.

In that case, being bolder, as long as the other couldn’t decipher his true intentions, wouldn’t dare to act casually.

Therefore, his first goal was measurement!

To measure the size of this Spirit Realm!

If anyone claimed this Spirit Realm was boundless, he wouldn’t buy it for a minute!

...

Lu Xiaobu’s image still played in the pool before the Overlord.

The Overlord listened as Number Two reported the recent events.

Talking while cursing.

Number Two was angered!

However, the Overlord ignored Number Two’s emotions, listening intently to her report.

Once Number Two finished reporting and received no response from the Overlord, she felt uneasy but didn’t question, standing quietly.

After a long while, the Overlord spoke indifferently, "They already know your name and my existence."

"What?!"

Number Two was startled, shaking as she knelt in a panic, "Overlord, I did not disclose my identity!"

She was nearly driven to tears, the first time in so long to be this frightened.

This was tantamount to betrayal!

To any ruler, betrayal is the gravest sin!

"Don’t worry, it wasn’t your exposure. They deduced it; both are dragons among men, silent until they emerge, a timeless impact!"

The Overlord spoke slowly.

Upon hearing this, Number Two’s eyes widened.

She couldn’t recall how many years she served the Overlord.

Anyone who reached Mahayana in their cultivation was exceptional!

However, in all these years, she had never heard the Overlord praise anyone.

In the Overlord’s eyes, those people were no different than sheep to be slaughtered!

But this time, this strategically gifted Overlord, who orchestrated throughout All Realm, praised people!

And not just one, but two!

Even using expressions like dragons among men, shaking the ages!

This was incredibly exaggerated!

"Luckily, these two aren’t friends but enemies, making it less worrisome; two intimate enemies will clash first."

The Overlord spoke slowly again.

"Huh?"

Number Two remained confused.

They are enemies?!

She didn’t perceive that!

And even if they were enemies, wouldn’t they unite against the Overlord?!"

"Do not doubt, every overlord’s basic instinct is to first target the enemy closest to them!"

The Overlord’s voice remained unhurried: "Because such an enemy is far more frightening than those distant ones, they exploit your overlooked weaknesses and strike lethally!"

"Moreover, both are overlord-level figures, so naturally they would place their first defenses against each other!"

Saying this, the Overlord’s usually expressionless face revealed a slight smile.

This made Number Two even more frightened.

Finally, she gritted her teeth, "Overlord, should we not deal with them decisively, snuffing them out in the bud, to avert trouble?!"

"No rush." The Overlord waved a hand: "Two newly fledged eagles pose no threat to me, dealing with fools for years requires some diversion."

Masters are lonely.

When top masters encounter a rival, they strive to eliminate them instantly.

But when they see a potential rival, they tend to let them grow, wishing them to bring more entertainment!

Though history is rife with great talents failing due to this mindset, they still enjoy it.

An uneventful gamble is not what they desire.

In controlled ripples, watching these people stir up the seas, ultimately powerless and humbly surrendering, is sheer joy!

"Overlord, what is this guy doing now?"

Number Two could no longer persuade, so she asked lowly, gazing at Lu Xiaobu’s solitary actions in the pool scene.

After the Overlord’s judgment echoed in her mind, she felt that any move by either of these two was worth scrutiny!

The Overlord can’t be wrong; if the Overlord deemed them overlord-level, then they are.

However, overlords remain overlords, and the Overlord is the Overlord!

Thus, she needed to know more to alleviate concerns for the Overlord.

"He is measuring." The Overlord chuckled: "He’s measuring the size of the Spirit Realm."

"What?"

Number Two frowned: "Does this have any significance?"

In her view, such an action seemed pointless; what difference would measuring the Spirit Realm make?

"It might be meaningful or meaningless, but a control urge is something all overlord-level figures possess, they won’t let anything slip from their control."

The Overlord felt particularly good today, unlike his usual stern demeanor.

Number Two nodded with half-understanding, wanting to say more.

Just then, the Overlord waved her off: "Step back. I have arrangements for these two, do not get involved."

"Yes!" Number Two could only nod and retreat.

Overlord-level figures, huh?!

If so, then it’s no wonder her name was uncovered!
