As a matter of fact, in front of so many people, especially when there were a lot of important figures in the crowd, snatching the microphone and saying "I protest" was a very stupid act.
At least, the representative of the Stardust Council thought so.
However, it was a matter of stance. Moreover, as a major faction, if the Stardust Council did not respond, they would be suspected of being humiliated by Darkness Port.
Looking at the silent crowd and the faint smile on the Simpering Pierrot's face, the representative of the Stardust Council felt his back drenched in sweat. He felt strangely awkward, but he had to hold on.
From a personal point of view, he really wanted to see how stunning Young Lord Tang Long would be.
More than 10 seconds later, the Simpering Pierrot seemed to have received some sort of notification from the higher-ups of Darkness Port. He politely took the microphone from the representative of the Stardust Council and said, "Honorable guest, on behalf of Darkness Port, I would like to ask you a question. Is your protest a personal protest? Is your protest referring to yourself or the Stardust Council? "
"On behalf of the Stardust Council, of course."
"Very well then. Darkness Port's attitude is the same as before and we've given you the necessary explanation. If you insist on protesting, Darkness Port will respect it. Tang Long will have to withdraw from the competition because we can't come up with a better scenario. "
"Why should Tang Long withdraw from the competition?" The representative of the Stardust Council seemed a little angry.
The Simpering Pierrot shook his head and did not explain. He only said, "The challenge must be carried out immediately. If you can't decide, you can ask the higher-ups for their opinion. "
The representative of the Stardust Council also knew that he could not shake the whole of Darkness Port, so he retreated to the side and contacted the higher-ups of the Stardust Council.
The scene was witnessed by many people and even the factions all over the world. Many of the elites started to analyze the subtle changes in the situation.
"I'm personally sorry for my impulsiveness just now. The council said that it's just a virtual event, so don't take it too seriously. As a faction in this world, we adhere to our ideals and we won't be overly sensitive and reasonable. " Less than half a minute later, the representative of the Stardust Council returned. This time, he politely took the microphone and spoke in typical political language.
Of course, there would be people who would analyze the interesting parts. Most importantly, everyone could tell that the Stardust Council had compromised on the Hell Ledge Challenge.
"Now, Young Master Long, if you agree to continue the challenge, the Stardust Council will agree to it." Without further ado, the representative of the Stardust Council announced their decision right after he finished his speech.
"Very well, now let's use technical means to ask Tang Long. If Tang Long has no objections, the challenge will continue. " The Simpering Pierrot did not pursue the matter further. Since he had already made his decision, it was more important for him to continue with the challenge.

"Continue the challenge," Tang Long answered straightforwardly.
As the young lord of the Stardust Council, Tang Long understood the council's philosophy and deeply agreed with it.
He even shouldered the heavy responsibility of becoming the strongest, leading the Stardust Council to unite the world and instilling this ideal into all of mankind.
Even if Tang Long felt that he couldn't do it in this lifetime, he had to continue moving forward and pass on the torch.
And he was the leader of the next generation.
This was the education that Tang Long had received since he was young. It was deeply ingrained in him! But why did he agree so directly?
It was because his glory was also the Stardust Council's glory. If he stubbornly gave up on a virtual reality, it would be a joke.
Every obstacle must be removed, by whatever means.
The scene before them was one, and so was Tang Ling!

Huuu. The wind in Iron-Blooded City was a bleak autumn breeze.
When it entered their nostrils, it carried a bloody stench.
The place had just gone through a huge battle, and the smoke from the battle had yet to be extinguished. There was a big hole in the wall, revealing the complicated iron structure inside.
Unfortunately, even the iron structure could not withstand the impact of the intense battle. Many parts of the wall were twisted and deformed.
What was more pitiful was that even though the structure was deformed, it did not stop the tremendous force that destroyed it.
It pierced through the hollow space of the giant wall, which was at least 50 meters thick, and then broke open a huge hole on the other side of the giant wall.
Tang Ling could move now, but the moment he could move, his body flew forward uncontrollably. He hung on the edge of the wall and was on the verge of falling.
Then, he saw the big hole in the wall. He might not know anything about architecture, but based on his Precise Instinct's observation, he instinctively felt that if the big hole was not repaired soon, this small section of the wall would collapse in no time.
However, he did not have the time to care about the wall at the moment. His whole body was hanging on the edge of the wall. 200 meters in the air, the autumn wind was so strong that it made his body sway back and forth.
Even with Tang Ling's current strength, what would happen to him if he fell from 200 meters in the air? If there were no accidents, he would be smashed to pieces.
Was there a tactical movement disk on his back? Tang Ling felt the thing on his back. It was indeed a tactical movement disk.
He tried to activate it using the method taught in Safety Sector No. 17, but there was no reaction.
Is it broken? Tang Ling looked up and saw that half of the composite lines that extended out from the disk were broken. The remaining half was holding on stubbornly, making him feel insecure.
What the hell is this level 18 thing? Tang Ling was confused, but he quickly thought of a way out. Climbing up the wall was the most important thing right now.
"You're lucky, kid. You're still alive." It was at that moment that a man appeared beside Tang Ling and exclaimed when he saw him. He grabbed Tang Ling and used his tactical movement disk to bring him up to the top of the wall.
What the hell? A character similar to the one in the Dream Domain appeared in the challenge? Tang Ling was confused.
It was at that moment that the man who saved Tang Ling suddenly slapped his shoulder hard. "Little fella, you're lucky. As you can see, the wall of Iron-Blooded City is broken. The wall of Iron-Blooded City is damaged.
"As a member of the wall defense team, I must tell you this. Unless it's absolutely necessary, our team only has one responsibility, and that is to repair the wall at all costs. "The man looked serious.
"And then?" Tang Ling turned around and sized up his surroundings. He was starting to feel worse.
On top of that, the name Iron-Blooded City shocked him.
Was this the Iron-Blooded City that he had heard about a few times? It was a battlefield just like the Hope Barrier?
"Don't you get it? You have to fight! The entire Iron-Blooded City is in a pinch right now. Before the reinforcements arrive, it's all up to you guys. "The man sounded heavy.
"Us?" Tang Ling was slightly stunned. Was he not supposed to fight alone? Why hadn't he received any mission notifications until now?
"Yes, you guys." The man raised his hand and pointed at a spot on the top of the wall. In a corner, there were around seven to eight people leaning against the wall.
It seemed that they were very tired after the battle just now. At this time, they leaned against the wall and fell asleep.
Although their clothes were messy, they were not hurt.
"Just the few of us are going to face whatever happens next?" Tang Ling finally understood the situation he was in. He adjusted his emotions quickly and seized the moment to ask for more information.
The man who rescued Tang Ling seemed to be very busy. As a matter of fact, repairing the wall could not be delayed either. He answered, "Yes, just the few of you. If you can buy us a minute, we'll count it as a minute. "
"Don't think that we're running away from the battle! To us, the wall defense team, every second is precious. One more person can add one more brick to this broken, goddamn hole, "the man answered as he quickly walked towards the wall." You're right. Do you want to read up to 10 unreleased chapters?

"We just went through a big battle. Are you sure there will be more?" Tang Ling knew nothing about Iron-Blooded City.
"I'm not sure. But there will be battles all the time. Why are you asking me such an idiotic question? "The man had already hung the hook on the edge of the wall and was ready to jump down.
Tang Ling grabbed him by the shirt. He did not look like he was joking. "Fine. Since you know there's going to be a battle at any moment and you know it's not a game, you also know that every extra minute is precious."
Then, you better not brush me off in such a hurry. I've been out for too long, so I don't know anything about the situation. Tell me, what else can I rely on? Weapons, resources, and so on? Tell me, what permissions do I have now? If you don't know what I can do or what I can do, don't expect me to bring you good news. "
The man was stunned. Is this young man serious? He is destined to be cannon fodder, and I'm just telling him what to do out of responsibility.
As a matter of fact, what can these cannon fodder do? If a battle really broke out, could they hold on for a minute or even half a minute?
As a last resort, the wall defense team would use the Sector Protection Machine to buy time.
"Tell me." Tang Ling increased his strength.
He would never forget his goal, which was to clear all the levels with an SSS rating.
Since this scenario was a war, Tang Ling, who had experience in the reserve army, had to face everything with the mentality of a war.
"Fine, you can use the few soldiers that you saw just now. But first, you have to make them acknowledge you as their boss. Then, you can use all the weapons, including firearms, that you can get your hands on. Unfortunately, there was a big battle just now, so don't expect to find anything in the armory … "The man's voice gradually softened because he dared not meet Tang Ling's gaze.
Tang Ling was smart enough to pick up the hint. Cannon fodder! Their fate was to be cannon fodder! Even if there was a war coming up and they could only be of little use, they had to fight!
How cruel was Iron-Blooded City?
