Wang Zhong was a man with a sturdy build. He was at least 1.95 meters tall and had a face full of stubble. He always had a serious look on his face. His combat strength was on immortal-level rank-7, and he was the person in charge of the Heaven Alliance branch on the 46th checkpoint.
"Most of the Heaven Alliance members are at the foothold on the 55th checkpoint. There aren't many of us on the 46th checkpoint. Including you and me, there are only 28 of us." What Wang Zhong said explained why the area looked so quiet.
"Considering that you might stay on the 46th checkpoint for a long time, let me bring you around to familiarize yourself with the environment." Wang Zhong did not mean to look down on Lin Huang. Instead, he told him what he thought. He felt that it was impossible for Lin Huang to break through to the 55th checkpoint within a short period of time.
Lin Huang knew how strong he was. With his current ability, he might not even be able to break through to the 50th checkpoint, let alone the 55th checkpoint. The nearest human gathering point below the 55th checkpoint would be the 46th checkpoint.
Although Lin Huang could not read Wang Zhong's expression, he was indeed a responsible man who brought him around the entire morning to familiarize himself with the environment. Along the way, he answered all of his questions in detail without hiding anything.
"On the 46th checkpoint, the most powerful one is the Hong Alliance, followed by the Tang Alliance. Our overall ability is similar to the Divine Alliance, so we're ranked third. The competition is the most intense …"
During lunch, Wang Zhong briefly told Lin Huang about the few competing organizations.
"Under normal circumstances, most of the people below the 55th checkpoint wouldn't dare to look for trouble with the Heaven Alliance members. However, there are exceptions. Your situation is rather unique. The people from the Hong Alliance and the Tang Alliance might challenge you and use you as a stepping stone to advance. The people from the Divine Alliance are even more cunning. They might provoke you on purpose and challenge you so that they can take your points. Don't be fooled if you encounter such a situation. Contact me immediately and let me handle it. "
"I know that you're a supreme genius with powerful abilities. However, the people on the Stairway Tree are all geniuses. The ability of an immortal-level rank-6 is comparable to an immortal-level rank-9. There are many immortal-level rank-6 powerhouses on the 46th checkpoint. " Wang Zhong looked at Lin Huang with an extremely serious expression. "I advise you to use up that massive amount of points as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter where you go, you'll look like a plump roasted lamb that's being roasted on a grill until oil oozes out of it. Furthermore, it's still emitting the fragrance of roasted meat. Most people on this floor would not be able to earn more than four million points in a year. If I were not a member of the Heaven Alliance, I might not be able to control myself and attack you. If you really can't think of anything to buy, you can stock up on some ancient relics or exchange them for Life Crystals. "
"I'll use it in the next two days." Lin Huang nodded. He also knew that the huge amount of points he had now would indeed bring him trouble. He planned to take some time to make a list of the items he needed and spend all the points he had.
What Lin Huang did not know was that almost everyone in the Evil Alliance knew that he had joined the Heaven Alliance during the morning when he was on the 46th checkpoint.
This was because the video of Chan Dou killing the four robbers in a second in the morning was recorded and uploaded to the Evil Alliance's forum. Many of the passersby became his fans after he said, "The Heaven Alliance shall not be humiliated."
"He's so domineering! From today onwards, Chan Dou is my Prince Charming!"
"Prince Charming, I want to have your baby!"
"Damn, why doesn't our Hong Alliance's boss have the ability to show off?"
"Little Brother Chan v587, I want to give birth to a monkey for you. The message was sent by the Hong Alliance's chief, Zhu Hong. Not only did she leave a comment, but she also tagged Chan Dou who was involved in the incident. It immediately attracted many people's attention.
"The goddess has appeared. Let's watch the goddess!"
Not long after, Chan Dou also replied with a message.
"Sister Hong, is what you said true? (Infatuated emoji) "
This news was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, causing a group of people to discuss it.
"Oh no, this is like a tortoise looking at a mung bean!"
"Is the Heaven Alliance going to merge with the Hong Alliance?!"
However, the heated discussion was soon dampened by Zhu Hong's message.
"I'm just kidding. (Funny emoji) "
Chan Dou replied very quickly. There were no words, only a "(Aggrieved emoji)".
Due to Chan Dou and Zhu Hong's interruption, not many people were talking about Lin Huang's incident. However, those who watched the video knew that Lin Xie had joined the Heaven Alliance.
After hearing the news, other than a few top forces, the rest of the forces did not dare to think about Lin Huang's points anymore. Chan Dou's attitude was very clear. Moreover, he personally came down to the 46th checkpoint to receive Lin Xie, which showed how much he valued Lin Xie.
With Chan Dou's attack as a deterrent, even the members of the top forces did not dare to sneak an attack on Lin Huang. They only dared to challenge him head-on. This was because even if the sneak attack was successful, the additional four million points would instantly rise to the top of the annual leaderboard. Chan Dou could easily find out who did it. No one was willing to bear Chan Dou's wrath.
However, it was different to challenge him head-on. As long as Lin Xie accepted the challenge, he would lose his points to Wang Zhong openly. Even Chan Dou would not have an excuse to attack him.
After having lunch with Wang Zhong, Lin Huang left the Heaven Alliance territory after Wang Zhong reminded him not to accept any challenges. He then walked towards the main branch of the Stairway Tree. He was ready to continue climbing the tree.
On the branches, many people saw that Lin Huang was no longer as eager to attack as before. Obviously, Chan Dou's attack had a deterrent effect on many of them.
Many of them looked away when they saw Lin Huang. Although four million points were great, they did not want to be sent to the first checkpoint of the Stairway Tree by Chan Dou.
However, just as Wang Zhong had expected, not everyone was afraid of Chan Dou's intimidation.
Soon, Lin Huang was blocked by a gangster-looking man. The man's combat strength was immortal-level rank-6, but he was dressed like a gangster on the streets. The man looked like he was in his forties (his actual age should be below 40). Not only did he wear earrings, but he also had a piercing on his nose. Nobody knew if there were piercings on other parts of his body that were covered by his clothes.
"Isn't this the famous Lin Xie who ranks second on our annual leaderboard?" The man with piercings smirked.
"Do you have anything to say? Move aside if you don't have anything to say." Lin Huang knew that trouble was coming.
"Of course, I want to play a game with you …"
Lin Huang did not wait for him to continue and interrupted him directly, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in men. Go and find someone else."
"I mean, I want to have a duel with you!" The man with piercings then revealed his true intention in a flustered manner.
"Oh, so it's a duel. Why don't you just tell me? Why do you want to play a game? Who knows what kind of game you want to play. "Lin Huang looked like he had just realized something.
"Do you dare to accept it?!" The man with piercings stared at Lin Huang and asked.
"No, I'm not interested." Lin Huang rejected him directly.
Seeing that the man was going to say something nasty again, Lin Huang decided to speak before he could. "I have more than 8.3 million Stairway Tree points now. If you want to have a duel with me, you'll have to accumulate eight million points first. I won't count the remaining points. If you manage to accumulate enough points, I'll give you a chance to have a duel with me. Whoever loses will go back to the first checkpoint and give up half of their points. If you don't have enough points now, I'll give you time to accumulate them. I'll be waiting for you here at six in the evening to challenge me. If you don't have enough points by six, don't bother me anymore. Otherwise, I'll have to ask our chief for the missing points. "
"Lin Xie, I've recorded what you said. If you go back on your word, you won't be the only one who'll be embarrassed. The entire Heaven Alliance will be embarrassed too. "The man with piercings smirked.
"Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you here at six in the evening. Also, after today, you don't have to challenge me anymore because I'll use up all of your points tonight. If you want to challenge me, just accumulate your points! "
