Afternoon, the next day.
In the hall in the capital, many reporters were already waiting with their cameras in hand.
Yesterday, the government announced the press conference for the establishment of the Divine Runemaster Alliance. The press conference would be broadcasted live across the country.
In the Dragon Net's live broadcast room, many people were commenting in a frenzy.
[The Divine Runemaster Alliance? Is the alliance formed to punish Divine Runemasters who commit crimes?]
[Is the leader Boss Gu? If not, I won't acknowledge this alliance!]
[That's right! Apart from Boss Gu, no one's qualified to sit in this position!]
[I really hope Boss Gu will become the leader of the alliance and punish those b*stard Divine Runemasters who exploit ordinary people like us!]
[I agree!]
Many people felt that the leader of the alliance would definitely be Gu Changqing. Apart from him, no one had the qualifications to do so.
…
In the backstage of the hall.
Lin Chen, who was dressed in a white suit, looked at the comments on his phone with a gloomy expression on his face.
Su Youwei sat next to Lin Chen. She was dressed in a jacket and a skirt that revealed her long legs that were wrapped in black silk stockings. After spending a month with Lin Chen, their relationship had improved. She was reading the comments as well, and upon seeing the expression on Lin Chen's face, she said, "Stinky brat, your expression doesn't look too good."
Lin Chen cursed, "Damn it! No matter how strong I am, it's useless!Those pieces of trash only acknowledge that b*stard Gu Changqing!"
Su Youwei patted Lin Chen's head and said with a smile, "That's only natural. The world worships the strong. However, Gu Changqing did not make any appearance this month. What you have to do now is seize the chance and steal his limelight as soon as possible."
"I've already displayed my strength in an ostentatious manner this month, but I still haven't been recognized! Sister Youwei, what do you think I should do?" Lin Chen asked. He really hated Gu Changqing to the core.
"Just mind your own business," Su Youwei said, "Who cares what others say? Apart from Gu Changqing, there are very few Divine Runemasters who are a match for you. Don't mind what others think or say."
Lin Chen had very great potential. As such, Su Youwei, who was obsessed with power and wealth, stayed with him even though she did not like him; she was determined to control him.
…
At this moment, a wave of moments suddenly flooded the screen again.
[F*ck, Tuan Tuan is streaming now! The title is 'Big Boss Gu Slaying the Demi Dragon in the Western Sea!]
[Really? We haven't seen Boss Gu in a month, and he's finally appeared?]
[Little Tuan Tuan is with Boss Gu? F*ck, let's go and have a look!]
[Damn it! I thought Boss Gu is going to be the leader of the Divine Runemaster Alliance!]
[Since Boss Gu is in the Western Sea, it's obvious that the leader is someone else! F*ck, I'm leaving! I'm going to look at Boss Gu!]
[Let's go. There's nothing to see here! I want to look at Boss Gu!]
With that, the number of people watching the live broadcast dropped from more than 200 million to tens of millions, from tens of millions to millions, to millions to hundreds of thousands, and finally, only tens of thousands of people were left watching the broadcast.
…
"Damn it! Did that b*stard Gu Changqing do this on purpose?!" Lin Chen cursed when he glanced at his phone and saw the comments. His expression was extremely unsightly at this moment.
Su Youwei frowned slightly. "His appeal is too terrifying. Let's go and see what he's doing."
As she spoke, she exited the official live broadcast and entered Tuan Tuan's live broadcast room.
Soon enough, Tuan Tuan's unique voice rang from the phone.
"Hello and good afternoon, everyone! Today, my boss is going to slay a water snake that evolved into a demi dragon! He's going to bring it back for a barbecue!"
…
Zhao Yuting stood on a huge rock in front of a camera like a reporter as she spoke while the ocean surged behind her.
"The demi dragon my boss is going to kill is an overlord in this area. It's a terrifying beast in the early stage of the seventh tier," Zhao Yu Ting said before she gestured to the camera and said, "I know all of you want to see my boss so I won't waste any more time. Cameraman, turn the camera over!"
As soon as Zhao Yuting's voice fell, the camera panned over to show a group of ten people standing proudly.
Gu Changqing was dressed in the red, black, and gray Infernal Dragon Asura Armor. Two terrifying Black Dragons circled behind him, and he held a blood spear that shone with a dazzling light.
Standing behind Gu Changqing were Zhang Hu, who wore the Tiger Demon King Armor; Wu Rui, who wore the Demi Dragon Armor; and seven men; who wore the Demon Armor.
Recently, many Divine Runemasters had come to seek refuge, and Gu Changqing had taken in dozens of relatively powerful people. He had established the Demon Alliance and made Zhang Hu the leader of the alliance.
Over the past month, the Demon Alliance had been growing and rising in a low-key manner. All 158 members of the Demon Alliance were at the middle and late stage of the fourth stage, and Zhang Hu and Wu Rui were at the late stage of the fifth rank.
Gu Changqing had too many divine runes on his body. Currently, he only cultivated the Asura divine rune, the Black Dragon divine rune, the King of Hell divine rune, and the Blood Spear divine rune to the fourth rank. The rest were at the third rank. His divine runes were too powerful so the number of crystal cores he needed was ten times more than that of others. The number was extremely terrifying.
More than a month ago, Gu Changqing could kill a late-stage tier-4 ant king when he was still in the first rank. Even he himself did know how terrifying his strength was now that he was in the fourth rank.
…
As soon as Gu Changqing appeared on screen, all kinds of comments praising him appeared.
[Haha! It's been a month since we saw Boss Gu, but he's still as domineering as ever!]
[My idol, can you please let me join the Demon Alliance?]
[Heavens! There are tier-seven mutant beasts now? They're evolving so fast?!]
[So what if it's a tier-seven beast? Boss Gu still came to hunt it down! As expected of the role model of my generation!]
[Boss Gu, I'm also a Divine Runemaster. Can I have your babies?! I have wide birthing hips!]
[Get lost!]
…
Roar!
An angry roar rang in the air before water splashed up into the sky like a tsunami.
Boom!
Following that, a black behemoth, which was about 600 to 700 meters long, roiled near the surface of the sea. It was covered in black scales, and its dragon-like face was extremely ferocious. When it opened its mouth, it could easily swallow a bus. One could only imagine how big it was.
Countless beasts like sea snakes, eels, and fish followed it and came in waves.
Upon seeing this, Zhao Yuting said, "Everyone, my boss' target is here. Look at how huge it is! Don't you feel afraid just looking at it? Rest assured, it won't be able to get to you through the camera! Most importantly, it won't be able to escape from my boss!"
As soon as Zhao Yuting finished speaking, the cameraman turned the camera.
The terrifying scene in the sea caused everyone's blood to boil immediately.
