Bear.Might fell into an awkward situation.
If the person Golden Tooth pushed out to fight against him was the Meng Chao from yesterday, he was confident that he could make the boy lose all his dignity in three moves.
For example, using spiritual pressure to force this kid to kneel on the ground.
At the very least, use your energy to flip him over and make him fall flat on his back.
Because of that, forget about Meng Chao's own dignity, even Golden Tooth and Jin Wanhao's dignity was completely lost. What right did he have to fight against Xiong Wei for the leadership of the Lair Reconstruction Committee?
But in just a short twenty-four hours, Meng Chao had obtained some sort of miracle. Not only did he unlock the second form of Golden Tooth Saber, he could also execute Divine Nine Dragon Seals and Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash at the same time. His fighting strength increased by leaps and bounds, and his strength increased by leaps and bounds.
Bear's Might did not believe that Meng Chao could master the essence of Celestial Tyrant's Star Shattering Slash.
However, he had no choice but to admit that this young man, who had created countless miracles since his debut, was no longer someone he could easily deal with in three to five moves.
If they wanted to defeat Meng Chao, they would have to fight for more than one hundred times with real weapons.
He also had to be prepared for heavy injuries and a pyrrhic victory.
But what was the point?
He was an expert of the older generation who had made a name for himself decades ago.
But Meng Chao was a rising star who had just started his career.
If he won a pyrrhic victory after exchanging more than one hundred moves, Meng Chao would lose honorably, but he would be humiliated.
Most importantly, Bear Might did not have a suitable reason to attack Meng Chao.
They were allies in name, and Meng Chao had just saved the lair.
Inheriting Jin Wanhao's legacy didn't seem to make any sense. Even if there was something suspicious about it, it wasn't up to him, an outsider, to question it.
In this sort of situation, if he attacked Meng Chao forcefully and injured this war hero in front of everyone, he would definitely become the target of public criticism. In fact, he might even be suppressed by the Supernatural Tower.
But …
If they just watched Meng Chao put on a show, the rhythm would fall into Meng Chao's control. If they really formed the Lair Reconstruction Committee, Meng Chao and Golden Tooth, who inherited Jin Wanhao's legacy, would have the loudest voices!
Bear Might gritted his teeth, and his expression turned incredibly savage. His dark gaze swept over Meng Chao and the gang leaders behind him.
Suddenly, his gaze trembled.
In the shadow of the corner, a one-eyed, one-armed, one-legged man with a face full of scars had silently appeared.
This person was like a homeless person that could be seen everywhere in the lair. Not a single strand of his hair exuded any sort of aura, so much so that Xiong Wei could not remember whether he had been standing there quietly since the beginning or whether he had appeared from the shadows.
God State Overlord, "Broken Sword" Ye Xiaoyue!
Xiong Wei sighed in his heart and completely got rid of his plan to attack Meng Chao.
"Everyone!"
Meng Chao could sense Xiong Wei's intention to retreat. He smiled and lifted Golden Tooth Saber. "Even though I'm not born in the lair, I share a common identity with all of you that is far greater than that of the lair.
"We're all Dragon Citizens, and we're all compatriots connected by blood. Earth's blood flows in our veins!
"Our ancestors went through the most unbelievable transmigration in the universe. The ancient ruins from billions of years ago are buried under our feet, and before us is a majestic battlefield. Our journey is bound to be the most terrifying journey in the history of human civilization.
"Compared to the adventures we're about to experience and the miracles we're about to create, the glorious deeds of all the heroes in history are just like children's games.
"Are we going to travel through billions of galaxies and face an endless journey? Do we have to differentiate the difference between the lair and the outside world in this tiny Dragon City? Just how cowardly and short-sighted must we be to cling to the lair and refuse to let go of it? We're like frogs in a well who are greedy for a small swamp! "
Each of his words was wrapped in spirit energy, and they traveled more than ten meters like air cannons before they exploded at the center of the hall. They turned into rolling thunder that deafened even the deaf.
The saber glare on Golden Tooth Saber became even more dazzling and savage as his emotions continued surging.
Even though they knew that he was boasting a little shamelessly, many of the gang fighters were still shocked by the picture he described with his bold words.
They were all superhumans who were above average. If they had the chance, all of them would want to roam the Other World and build their careers. Who would not want to live in a tiny lair?
In the past, Dragon City was shrouded in fog and could not colonize the outside world, which was why everyone lived in agony.
Now, the path leading to the outside world and the future was starting to appear before their eyes.
Would they have the courage to take that step?
"Trust me, times have changed!"
Meng Chao's voice was like a bell as he spoke resolutely. "I once promised Gang Leader Jin that I would rebuild the lair, but I don't want to rebuild a lair that is the same as the past. I hope that we can work together and build a new lair that is ten times or even one hundred times better.
"I believe that as long as we're united, we can definitely make the lair rise from the ashes. I also believe that as long as we can cast aside the ridiculous and laughable views between the gangs, between Leprosy Village and the lair, and between the lair and the outside world, we can not just build a brand new lair, but a brand new Dragon City that is one hundred times larger and the Other World that is ten thousand times larger!"
Whoosh!
The small sun that trembled on Golden Tooth Saber exploded and turned into ten thousand rays of golden light that spread to every corner of the hall.
Even though it was a flashy feint and did not have any offensive power, it was incredibly dazzling.
The people's visions blurred, and they could only blink furiously. When they looked again, Meng Chao had already sheathed his saber.
Only wisps of blood-red flames and golden light were left. They surrounded him like wings and lingered for a long time.
"It's impossible for Golden Tooth alone to rebuild the lair. We need your help," Meng Chao said.
Meng Chao's face was sincere. He extended his hands to the gang leaders and fighters below the stage and said, "All of you are heroes who have protected the lair for decades. Even when Gang Leader Jin was still alive, without your support, he would not have been able to protect the lair's order and interests." Now, all of you agree to form the Lair Reconstruction Committee. Let's work together to make the pie of rebuilding the lair ten times or one hundred times bigger. "
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Times have changed. The mega corporations and famous universities are continuously expanding their territories and colonizing the outside world. The gangs can't be frogs in a well and be stuck in the same old ways!"
"Form the Lair Reconstruction Committee and gather all the resources together so that we can fight for ten times the benefits!"
"Rose is willing to join the Lair Reconstruction Committee!"
"Iron Eagle is willing to join too!"
"Poison Scorpion is willing to join!"
Even though anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the gang leaders who had responded to Meng Chao's call before his voice faded away had walked out from the backstage with Song Jinbo, it was clear that they had come to an agreement a long time ago.
But the situation was not in their favor. When Golden Tooth and Poison Scorpion agreed to form the Lair Reconstruction Committee and more than half of the second-class gangs voiced their support and stood on Meng Chao's side, the remaining middle-sized and small gangs could not go against the tide.
Soon, most of the gangs expressed their stance and supported Meng Chao and Golden Tooth.
Only Phantom Bear Xiong Wei and a few leaders of the gangs affiliated to Black Bone were left. They stood there awkwardly, angry, and a little lost.
"Gang Leader Xiong …"
Meng Chao strode forward and arrived in front of Xiong Wei. He extended his hands and said sincerely, "When Gang Leader Jin was on his deathbed, he couldn't forget the time when you fought alongside him and killed zombies and monsters. He believed that you were his best comrade and also his strongest competitor. If he could protect the lair for half a century with you, he would die without regrets!
"During the final moments, he held my hand tightly and told me repeatedly that if I wanted to set up the Lair Reconstruction Committee, without you, Phantom Bear Xiong Wei, the strongest fighter in the lair, helping a greenhorn like me, it would have been impossible for me to succeed.
"He also repeatedly told me that Black Bone has a lot of experience when it comes to construction, so no matter what method I came up with, I had to invite you to be the vice chairman of the Lair Reconstruction Committee and be in charge of the construction work.
"I've never seen Gang Leader Jin speak so highly of his former competitor. Gang Leader Xiong, would you be willing to help Gang Leader Jin continue protecting the lair based on the fact that you fought alongside him in the past?"
Xiong Wei's lips twitched nonstop.
It was true that Black Bone had a lot of experience when it came to construction work.
However, since ancient times, the industries involved in construction work, excavation, land requisition, relocation, and other industries were all gray fields that were neither black nor white.
All the gangs in the lair that had the slightest bit of power and scale kept a few construction teams to take care of construction work. All of them had a lot of experience.
The meaning behind Meng Chao's words was very simple.
This time, the lair had been severely damaged. In the subsequent reconstruction work, construction work would definitely provide the most profit, and the biggest slice of the pie.
He and Golden Tooth were willing to give up this slice of the pie in exchange for Xiong Wei and Black Bone's support.
If Xiong Wei was not satisfied with such a big slice of the pie, then it meant that he was not going to care about the friendship he had built with Jin Wanhao in the past. The two gangs would completely turn against each other and fight to the death.
As he looked at Meng Chao's gentle smile and his sharp gaze, Xiong Wei was dazed.
Now that he thought about it carefully, it had been decades since he and Jin Wanhao had fought together.
Jin Wanhao was covered in injuries and had already died.
The injuries on his body were not any lesser than Jin Wanhao's. He was also in his twilight years, and the flames of his life were becoming dimmer and more chaotic.
Even if he could force himself to hang on and fight against Meng Chao, the injuries on his body were no less than Jin Wanhao's.
However, based on the methods and strength that this brat had displayed in the short span of forty-eight hours, as well as the limitless potential that was far from his peak state, how many more years could he hold on to his pride?
A few years later, he would die just like Jin Wanhao, but Meng Chao would be like the sun at noon. What would happen to his family and Black Bone?
Xiong Wei was not like Jin Wanhao, who was alone.
He had to think about his children and grandchildren.
For a period of time, he felt a little short of breath.
But against his expectations, Meng Chao grabbed his hand and swung it three times.
The heat unique to young people gushed out of Meng Chao's palm, and it was something that Xiong Wei had not experienced for a long time.
Black Bone's gang leader was stunned for a long time, like a piece of rotten wood. Then, a strained smile appeared on his skull-like face. He first shook off Meng Chao's hand, then spread his arms and gave Meng Chao a fierce bear hug!
