Chapter 99: Displaying Strength, Scaring Song Qing
Lin Yan and Lin Dong were fast.
Since they set out, they swiftly headed towards Flame City. Before long, they successfully arrived.
However, within the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce at this moment, the issue regarding Lin Yan's spot caused quite a stir.
"I've said it before, we have better candidates for the Dan Emperor Pool this time, so you don't need to participate," Xia Zhilan said coldly to a young man in blue within the hall.
"Zhilan, I know you have prejudices against me, but the matter of the Dan Emperor Pool is crucial. Among the younger generation, although I, Song Qing, may not be top-notch, I am outstanding. I hope you consider the bigger picture," the softly-featured young man in blue responded. His expression darkened momentarily at Xia Zhilan's words, but he soon smirked, glancing at Xia Zhilan's delicate figure with a hint of lewdness in his eyes.
Naturally, this person was Song Qing, whom Xia Zhilan refused to cooperate with earlier.
Xia Zhilan had always despised him because of his many criminal activities, making him look inferior compared to Lin Yan. Even just talking to such a person made Xia Zhilan feel disgusted.
At this moment, Xia Zhilan openly showed her disgust towards him.
On the side, Xuan Su also frowned and said, "Song Qing, let's forget about this matter for now. I will explain it to your father."
Song Qing's eyes flashed coldly when he heard this, and he lowered his head slightly. As his gaze swept over Xuan Su's long legs, he couldn't help but pause for a moment. Then, he turned his gaze towards the two elders seated nearby.
"Su, didn't we agree earlier? Let Song Qing take the last spot. How can we just find someone to fill the quota? What if that person loses the ownership of the Dan Emperor Pool? That wouldn't be good," one of the elders said.
"Yes! Let Song Qing participate. At least everyone knows his strength," the other elder chimed in.
Both of them were in charge of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, but they had always had a good relationship with Song Qing's father. Naturally, they spoke up for him at this time.
However, Xuan Su wasn't easily fooled. She knew Lin Yan's strength very well and was confident in him. At this moment, in response to the persuasion from the two elders, Xuan Su smiled faintly and said, "Gentlemen, substituting someone temporarily is not due to personal grievances. As you both mentioned earlier, the priority is the competition for the Dan Emperor Pool. Since I already have a better candidate, why not use them?"
Continuing, Xuan Su added, "If you both still have doubts, you can wait here for a moment. That person should be arriving soon. Then, you can witness for yourselves whether my choice is wrong."
With Xuan Su's words, the two elders couldn't say much more. After all, Xuan Su's words were there. If the person they met later couldn't satisfy them, they could discuss it again. Continuing to press on like this would only make them seem petty.
So, the two elders nodded, "Let's wait as Supervisor Su suggested."
Song Qing retreated with a cold look. However, after this ordeal, he became somewhat annoyed in his heart. He made a silent vow to himself that he would perform well in the future, causing Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan to look at him with admiration.
Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan glanced at each other, both seeing a hint of amusement in each other's eyes. Obviously, both of them trusted Lin Yan's strength and were looking forward to seeing Song Qing's embarrassed appearance in the future.
The crowd continued to wait in place for a while.
Soon after, Lin Yan and Lin Dong arrived at the scene.
As soon as they arrived, Lin Yan noticed the somewhat unusual atmosphere.
Xuan Su and Xia Zhilan quickly approached them, and then directly informed Lin Yan of the situation.
After explaining everything, Xuan Su looked at Lin Yan with some guilt, "I'm really sorry, little brother Lin Yan. I didn't expect things to turn out like this."
Lin Yan just chuckled lightly in response, "It's okay, Sister Su. Leave this matter to me."
He quickly stepped forward.
Then, the attention of Song Qing and the two elders shifted to Lin Yan.
Song Qing sneered, "Supervisor Su, is this the 'better candidate' you mentioned? It seems he's nothing special, right?"
Although he didn't know Lin Yan, since Lin Yan dared to take his spot, Song Qing naturally regarded him as an enemy. Therefore, he wouldn't give Lin Yan any face.
"Oh? So, you think you're impressive?"
But what he didn't know was that Lin Yan wasn't a pushover either.
After hearing Song Qing's remark, before anyone else could react, Lin Yan unexpectedly replied coldly.
Then, in the blink of an eye, his tall figure flashed and appeared directly in front of Song Qing.
"So fast!"
Song Qing's eyes twitched, feeling extremely shocked by Lin Yan's speed.
But before he could express his astonishment, Lin Yan's hand had already gripped his neck in that instant.
He directly grabbed Song Qing's neck with one hand and lifted him high.
Then, the aura of a Yuan Dan Realm martial artist burst out from his body without reservation.
Lin Yan extended his other hand.
On his palm, a strong green flame emerged.
Lin Yan held the green flame and pressed it towards Song Qing's face. The terrifying temperature burned the air around them, and Song Qing's eyes became increasingly terrified as the green flame approached.
"Who gave you the courage to speak to me like that?"
"Now, do you understand how impressive I am?"
Lin Yan said lightly to Song Qing. As he spoke, he was about to press the strange fire onto Song Qing's face.
And anyone with discerning eyes could see that the terrifying temperature within that strand of strange fire was extremely frightening.
Although Song Qing's strength was not weak, if his face were to be exposed to that strand of strange fire without any defenses, he would be severely injured if not killed.
Therefore, at this moment, Song Qing's face became increasingly pale. As for the two elders, as well as the other staff of the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce, after seeing the scene before them, they once again looked at Lin Yan with a sense of fear in their eyes.
This person was too terrifying!
