Awoke As A God After Auto Battling For 1000000 Years

Facing the warrior Empire Glory, who suddenly challenged him and claimed to be the new branch president of the Empire Guild, Xu Bei, Zhang Yue had yet to respond.

Suddenly, Ouyang Ling'er sent Zhang Yue a message via Feixin: ["This Xu Bei ranks among the top ten in combat strength across Longcheng and even the entire Dragon Nation within the range of new professionals this year. He's the adopted son of Xu Aiguo, vice president of the Empire Guild, and one of the most beloved disciples of the Ice Emperor, one of the Dragon Nation's three strongest professionals. He's a top-tier control player."]

["Moreover, he's an epic-class professional—Dawn Swordsman."]

["Guild Master, be careful not to underestimate him."]

After reading the message, Zhang Yue frowned slightly.

Looking around, he realized that at some point, a private investigator had been tailing him.

["Ouyang Ling'er, are you seriously ill or something? Why are you having someone follow me?"]

Ouyang Ling'er replied:["Ahaha... Well, it's because I was worried those assassins from before would come after you again. I wanted to gather evidence about the mastermind behind them, so..."]

["But by the way, this Xu Bei is so handsome—ah, oops! I mean, he's so strong. Be cautious, Guild Master!"]

Zhang Yue closed the feixin interface.

He glanced at Xu Bei and straightforwardly said, "You're no match for me."

Xu Bei, however, stood firm. "Are you afraid?"

"We're not on the same level," Zhang Yue replied. "Fighting you is meaningless."

As soon as Zhang Yue finished speaking, the Empire Guild members around Xu Bei expressed their dissatisfaction:

"We've already investigated you. You're just a grassroots professional with a lowly background, whereas our Guild President is the leader of the Empire Guild in Longcheng, and a disciple of the Ice Emperor, one of the top three professionals in the Dragon Nation."

"What's your rank? What's his rank?"

"Even if you're first on this year's new professional rankings, don't get too full of yourself."

Xu Bei was equally unconvinced. "We're both new professionals this year, and I consider myself no lower than you in level. How are we not on the same level?"

Looking at the youthful Xu Bei, Zhang Yue sighed lightly: 'Still too young!'

Xu Bei didn't know that Zhang Yue's standing, even in his previous life, surpassed that of Xu Bei's mentor, the Ice Emperor.

In fact, if Zhang Yue's previous identity were known, even top figures like Moonmark, Ice Emperor, and Seraph would have treated him with reverence.

Xu Bei, persistent in his attitude, pressed on:"If you don't accept my challenge, that means you're scared. You're a coward!"

Though Zhang Yue knew it was a taunt, it was clear that if he didn't teach this kid a lesson, Xu Bei would keep pestering him.

So, just as Zhang Yue prepared to raise his staff to engage, a voice came from ahead:"I'll accept your challenge!"

Everyone turned toward the voice and saw a warrior in golden armor, holding a long sword and exuding a powerful aura, walking steadily toward them.

"Luo Chen?" Zhang Yue was slightly surprised to see the golden-armored warrior.

'This kid made it to the Ninth World so quickly?'

Xu Bei looked at Luo Chen and asked, "Who are you?"

Zhang Yue, unwilling to make a move himself, said to Xu Bei, "He's my disciple. If you can beat him, then we'll talk."

Xu Bei didn't argue. "Fine, just don't say I'm bullying someone younger than me."

With that, Xu Bei grasped his longsword and charged straight at Luo Chen.

Just as Xu Bei was about to approach Luo Chen—

BOOM!

Seven sword shadows burst forth from Luo Chen, releasing a powerful aura that pushed Xu Bei back several steps.

Based on the visual effects, the Empire Guild members quickly identified Luo Chen's profession, their faces filled with shock:

"Legendary-class profession, Sword Emperor?"

"There's a legendary-class professional among this year's new recruits?"

"Who is this guy?"

As the crowd murmured, Luo Chen unleashed all seven sword shadows, launching a fierce assault on Xu Bei.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!

As an epic-class Dawn Swordsman, Xu Bei activated his Dawn Sword Shield, but it was completely unable to withstand the relentless attack of Luo Chen's sword shadows.

The golden shield shattered instantly, and Xu Bei's agility and positioning were rendered useless against the wide range of the sword shadows.

The closer Luo Chen got, the more ferocious his attacks became.

In just a moment, Xu Bei was knocked to the ground.

His health bar, rapidly cut down by the sword shadows, dropped to just 1 HP.

In the eyes of the spectators, the fight seemed to end almost before it began.

"This was... almost an instant defeat?"

"Such power! Our Guild President is one of Longcheng's top ten new professionals."

"If even his disciple is this strong, then what about..."

At this moment, the Empire Guild members couldn't help but focus on Zhang Yue.

For the first time, they felt the overwhelming strength radiating from him.

Clearly, Zhang Yue's power was far greater than Luo Chen's.

However, instead of feeling frustrated by his defeat, Xu Bei excitedly approached Zhang Yue and said, "You're even more impressive than I imagined. A pillar of our nation!"

"With experts like you, our Dragon Nation is destined to rise to prominence."

Given the Empire Guild's dealings with the Eastern Empire and their assassination attempts on Dragon Nation's competitors, as uncovered by Ouyang Ling'er, Zhang Yue couldn't help but doubt Xu Bei's intentions.

"So, why did you come all the way from Longcheng to Tianjing?",Zhang Yue asked.

"I'm here to protect you!" Xu Bei blurted out.

"Recently, assassins have been rampant, and many competitors in our Dragon Nation have been attacked. If all of them were eliminated, it would be disastrous for us in next week's tournament."

Hearing such words from someone in the Empire Guild was both ironic and laughable.

Zhang Yue didn't expose their hypocrisy but asked, "There are so many competitors in the Dragon Nation. Why me?"

"Because you're ranked first on this year's leaderboard." Xu Bei said.

"My adoptive father said that your strength must be the greatest among all of us. At first, I didn't believe it, thinking you got lucky to reach the top of the leaderboard."

"But now that I've seen you, it's clear your reputation is well-deserved." Xu Bei looked at Zhang Yue with admiration. "I admit, you're strong!"

Beside him, Luo Chen pouted, clearly feeling slighted,"I'm the one who defeated you..."

"You're strong too! A great teacher produces great disciples." Xu Bei gave him a thumbs up.

Luo Chen seemed about to retort but held back.

'Forget it. Better not offend Zhang Yue, or he'd never be allowed back to Hidden Dragon Mountain or see my master again.'

Whatever Zhang Yue said was fine by him.

Xu Bei turned back to Zhang Yue and declared:"Don't worry. From today onward, with the Empire Guild's personal protection, I'll see who dares try to assassinate you."

Zhang Yue gave a knowing smile, seeing through everything.
