After leaving the team, the adventurer ladies regretted it deeply

Whoosh.

Mingli transformed into a speeding dark Phantom.

The tiles on the square were violently lifted to the sides by the fierce airflow, and an ominous bloody light emanated from Mingli's large scissors, as if it even cut through the midday sunlight.

The oppressive feeling it gave everyone had intensified several times compared to before.

This was no longer a normal attack.

This time, Mingli used his skills.

When a Moon Rank adventurer went all out, a Star Rank simply had no way to block it!

Even so, Abner did not retreat.

Abner was a level 39, top-tier Star-ranked adventurer, just half a step away from stepping into the Moon Rank.

He closed his eyes and assumed the stance of drawing his sword for an Iaido Slash.

A force several times stronger than a normal Star Rank condensed on Abner's sword.

From a distance, Bervis raised his eyebrows and thought in surprise,

"Mind's Eye Abner, no wonder he made it onto the Adventurer's Weekly, becoming a Moon Rank is just a matter of time. It seems that White Dove City with Abner and Lin Da doesn't seem so weak."

At this moment, Lin Da applied a Healing Art to himself and stood up.

Tasya's eyes flickered as she grasped Lin Da's hand, not wanting to let him go forward. Mingli, let Abner handle it. Whether Abner lives or dies didn't matter to Tasya, as long as Lin Da was safe.

However, Lin Da did not think the same way.

If Abner were seriously injured because of this, he would feel guilty for the rest of his life.

"Lin Da, what are you doing? Retreat, leave this to us!"

Gale, seeing Lin Da recklessly coming to the front, was both angry and annoyed, and hurried to pull Lin Da back.

"No need, I'm confident."

Lin Da shook his head, his expression calmly moving to the center of the area.

This time, he didn't even bring the Verdant Shield with him.

Mingli rushed forward with a crazy laugh.

With his current state, the least serious consequence of directly facing a Moon Rank adventurer's skill was severe injury.

What on earth was Lin Da thinking?

Everyone couldn't help but feel puzzled.

The Lin Da they knew wouldn't do something so impulsive.

In other words... was Lin Da confident he could stop that maniac?

Facing Mingli's hate-filled face, Lin Da offered no explanation or words of comfort,

his gaze was cold as he stared at the girl with dark green hair, his voice like a chilling wind from hell—"Sit down."

Just like training a dog.

Not only did Lin Da not comfort the frenzied Mingli, but he also used extremely humiliating words to publicly shame her!

Gale and the others' heads buzzed, all thinking the same thing: It's over!

Even if Lin Da were to kneel and beg for mercy, everyone could understand. Losing face in front of a Moon Rank wasn't a big issue.

But Lin Da went on to insult the other party.

What the hell.

Fearing that things weren't bad enough!

He wouldn't have triggered that maniac to launch a Super Kill, would he!

While Star Rank adventurers could learn an ability called "Force", Moon Ranks, in addition to unfolding wings behind them, would also comprehend a power greater than an Ultimate Skill—a "Super Kill".

With Mingli activating his skills, Abner was confident enough to risk his life to block it.

But with Mingli launching a Super Kill, there was no solution!

Even if Abner was level 39, with exceptional talent and extraordinary fight capabilities,

he couldn't possibly block a Moon Rank adventurer's Super Kill.

Lin Da, what are you really up to!

This was completely unlike his usual cautious self!

Everyone was so anxious they were pulling their hair out.

Only Lin Da understood what he was doing.

He deliberately cast aside all emotions.

Like a cold, magical automaton, he stared indifferently at Mingli.

"Sit down."

Once again, he repeated.

In Lin Da's flat tone, there were strands of murderous intent.

It seemed that if Mingli dared not to obey, he would instantly put on the mask and transform into the "Dark Shadow".

By then... the consequences of offending the Dark Shadow were well known!

Even a team member entering with his left foot first would be kicked out of the team.

Daring to attack the Dark Shadow, dying ten times would not be too much.

Mingli, hearing Lin Da's harsh, cold command, shivered, her pupils revealing panic as if a PTSD symptom had been triggered, and she sat down on the ground in fright.

The forward momentum not yet dissipated, she indeed slid to Lin Da's feet in a 'kowtow' position!

Mingli looked up at Lin Da tremblingly, her eyes clearing up.

Like a fiercely barking wild dog being slapped across the face, she immediately behaved.

The girl, her venomous snake-like eyes hidden behind dark green hair, turned into clear, watery lakes.

In the scene of the "Feather Plucked Ugly Duckling", Mingli, bullied by the orphans, had her beautiful long hair cut off, being ridiculed as a bald ugly duckling.

The Dark Shadow appeared, spanked those children with a belt, and told Mingli: Become my captain's dog, and no one will bully you again.

For a weird girl like Mingli, who is self-abasing, cowardly, and has a vengeful personality, ordinary teachings could hardly help her step out of the shadows.

Lin Da chose to fight poison with poison.

He tamed Mingli with a big stick.

If disobedient, she would be beaten!

His single command, 'sit down', awakened memories buried in Mingli's mind.

"Lin Lin Lin Da..."

Mingli shakily lifted her head, her right hand raised like a small dog lifting its paw, reaching out to Lin Da.

Lin Da too extended his palm, waiting for Mingli to place hers in it.

At this moment, everyone in the arena was stunned.

What the hell, what's going on?

What happened to the prestige of a Moon rank adventurer all of a sudden?

Could it be that the seaweed head girl didn't come to kill Lin Da but to recognize him as her master?

Abner had been ready to fight for his life.

With eyes that could never be fully opened, widened more than brass bells, Abner was dumbfounded, staring at Lin Da 'training the dog'.

Lia scratched her head, "Am I seeing things?"

Isa gave a dry laugh, "I might be seeing things too."

Lulu pondered for a moment and said, "I kind of understand Mingli's approach."

If it could be confirmed that Lin Da was the Dark Shadow, probably no member of Primordial would dare to act rashly.

If Lin Da were to pull out the big treasure (mask) from his trousers and chuckle coldly:

'Little team member, you dare to strike against me, the Dark Shadow?'

Who could endure that?

The Dark Shadow in his peak state could easily beat any team member.

Seeing Mingli trembling and extremely scared, Lin Da secretly breathed a sigh of relief inside.

Only he knew he was bluffing.

Unless he acted, no one would know his real strength.

Mingli had just been bluffed.

This team member is special, as though she can ascertain through other means that he is indeed the Dark Shadow.

Compared with Lulu who was tricked at first sight, and Tasya who was half-incredulous, it was fundamentally different.

If the two of them could confirm that he was indeed the Dark Shadow, they would probably also hesitate to attack easily.

In any case, was this crisis too simply resolved this time? Your next read awaits at empire

Compared to Lulu's distrust towards him, Monica's being shut-in refusing to leave the house, Tasya's adamant disbelief that he was the Dark Shadow...

When it came to Mingli, the process of winning her over went surprisingly smoothly.

So smoothly that Lin Da felt uneasy.

Defeating a bunch of Magical Creatures, facing countless hardships on the throne, opening a Treasure Chest, no adventurer suspected it to be a Treasure Chest Monster. But a Treasure Chest found casually in roadside bushes is almost certainly a disguised Treasure Chest Monster.

Once an adventurer happily goes to open it, the Treasure Chest Monster would open its big mouth and swallow the adventurer.

Therefore, when Mingli's small hand tremulously reached out to place in his palm, he sweated nervously.
