Chapter 847: Chapter 642 Stand By and Watch_1

Qin Jiagui was bidding farewell to Su Yu as he planned to head for the "Silver Empire’s" Imperial City to inquire about Yuan Niping’s whereabouts. While Su Yu was advising him not to be impulsive in any situation, suddenly, from the void above, a cold female voice drifted down from afar.

Su Yu and Qin Jiagui looked up to see a silver flying vessel suspended in mid-air, its cabin door wide open. A pretty girl with a sun hat was standing at the entrance, elegantly holding the hat on her head and watching Su Yu and Qin Jiagui with an icy gaze.

This girl wearing the sun hat was not a stranger to Su Yu and Qin Jiagui; in fact, they had already met her three times before this.

The first time they met her was shortly after he and Qin Jiagui had just stepped out of the "Bronze Tower" and entered this world that was rumored to be wonderful. Of course, it has been proven that this world is far from the beauty of legends, and might even be more brutal than the original "Black Iron World."

Back then, Qin Jiagui was entirely characterized by a morbid obsession, and upon seeing the Silver Train the girl rode in, he recklessly charged toward it, sparking a conflict. That was the first time he and Qin Jiagui encountered the girl with the sun hat.

The second meeting happened when he and Qin Jiagui were imprisoned in the "Floating Island Sky Prison." Qin Jiagui went mad and caused a tumult, and eventually, the girl with the sun hat appeared, summoning Ghost Deities. As Su Yu and Qin Jiagui were outmatched, Qin Jiagui’s internal Seed Power exploded, and Su Yu took the opportunity to summon the "Giant Gods," narrowly escaping death.

As for the third encounter, it was a trap that Su Yu and Qin Jiagui set up with the help of Wu Yu and others from the Phoenix Clan, feigning death to deceive the girl with the sun hat.

And now, this was their fourth encounter.

Seeing that their fake death had been seen through by the girl with the sun hat, Su Yu and Qin Jiagui exchanged glances and both revealed a wry smile. However, they were not nervous inside.

If it had been before, they certainly would have had a headache, not knowing how to resolve the situation. But now, nearly two thousand Black Warriors were gathered within the "Hundred Clans Settlement." It wouldn’t matter if there was not just one girl with a sun hat; even if ten came, Su Yu and Qin Jiagui would have no fear.

This place was teeming with Demi-gods.

Qin Jiagui burst into laughter and said, "You again? Truly a persistent spirit. Little girl, you couldn’t have fallen for one of us, could you?" While speaking, he gave Su Yu a smile, appearing utterly relaxed.

After all, there were over a thousand Demi-gods here. Whatever "Hundred Ghost Deities" there might be, even if a hundred Ghost Deities really were summoned, that still wouldn’t be enough to pose a threat.

Hearing Qin Jiagui’s teasing, Yana, the girl with the sun hat by the flying vessel’s cabin door, had her lovely face’s expression turn even darker. Then, her beautiful eyes slowly scanned the Black Warriors clad in black armor and laughed coldly, saying, "So that’s how it is. You’ve found someone to rely on, no wonder you’ve become so arrogant. I’ve always said that in this world, even if gods violate the order and rules, I would punish them. No one can protect you."

The confidence in Yana’s voice was astonishing—such words could probably not have been spoken even by the "Silver Empire’s" King of Thunder, one of the three giants of the previous era.

The nearly two thousand Black Warriors below looked at each other, thinking that after so many years, they had finally come across someone even more audacious than themselves, and it was a young girl at that.

Qi Ming, standing to one side, couldn’t help but take a step forward, intending to speak, but suddenly, Lin Yi pulled him back and shook his head at him, signaling him to step back.

Qi Ming was taken aback.

At the same moment, Wang Heng raised his hand and waved it backward, prompting the thousand Black Warriors who followed him to withdraw and disperse. This gesture was clearly not about standing up for Su Yu and Qin Jiagui against the girl with the sun hat; rather, it was an intention to stand aside and watch without any plans to interfere.

Su Yu and Qin Jiagui watched these Black Warriors’ actions, first stunned; then Su Yu felt a surge of inexplicable humiliation and anger.

A simple move by the Black Warriors instantly made him understand the message they wanted to convey.

They were loyal to Ada, but only recognized Ada in their eyes. In the minds of these Black Warriors, they still hadn’t acknowledged Su Yu, they had not recognized his status as the Master of Companion.

If they hadn’t acknowledged Su Yu, why would the Black Warriors bother standing up for him?

The retreat of the thousand Black Warriors clearly expressed their stance.

Qi Ming still held Su Yu in high regard. He was just about to step forward when Lin Yi pulled him back, then Lin Yi chuckled softly, "Don’t you have any confidence in our new generation? Don’t you think this is the best trial?"

Silver Moon also chuckled, "Exactly, let everyone appreciate the astonishing strength of the new generation. It’s not too late to intervene if he gets beaten and cries for help."

Seeing the odd smiles on the faces of the Black Warriors around him, Qi Ming realized that these guys wanted to see Su Yu make a fool of himself. Of course, they wouldn’t really let Su Yu be killed, but before that, they wanted to see how Su Yu would cope. A group of demi-god level Black Warriors seeing the Master of Companion of their era as a mere Third Level Silver Soldier, did feel uncomfortable and somewhat awkward.

The desire to see Su Yu embarrassed and to mock him was the true reflection of the Black Warriors’ hearts at the moment.

Qi Ming couldn’t help but give a bitter smile. Now even Wang Heng, Zhang Kuo, and the other two squad leaders had adopted such an attitude, and since Lin Yi was his superior, Qi Ming couldn’t intervene even if he wanted to. Among the Black Warriors, subordinates were absolutely obedient to superiors, so Qi Ming couldn’t intervene. Looking at Su Yu and Qin Jiagui, and then at the girl with the sun hat in the sky, he felt worried.

Although the girl with the sun hat didn’t seem to be very strong herself, since she spoke so boldly, she must have some trump cards.

The ambiguous and odd expression, half-smiling, half-not, on the Black Warriors’ faces, made Su Yu feel an indescribable sense of frustration. He held Ada, who was asleep in his arms, passed her to Qing Huang, and whispered, "Take good care of Ada."

Then he took a deep breath and looked up at the sun-hat girl in the sky.

Although Su Yu’s personality was relatively mild, he had his pride too. The clear attitude of the thousands of Black Warriors, like a fuse, ignited the fire of anger within him. At that moment, all he could feel was his special power blood boiling, hissing non-stop in his ears, as his body expanded and grew larger. Tear-drop-shaped silver scales and sharp-edged bronze scales emerged from all parts of his body. Soon, he transformed into a gigantic humanoid lizard behemoth, half covered in silver and half in bronze scales, towering at an astonishing height of five meters. He extended his hand, pointing directly at the girl with the sun hat in midair, and called out with a deep voice, "Come on, I will not shy away from this battle!"

As for Qin Jiagui, he was not the Master of Companion for Ada, so he didn’t feel the same anger as Su Yu. Nevertheless, he quickly transformed into a bronze mechanical giant, with only his right fist appearing silvery.

In the Black Iron World, the power of Su Yu and Qin Jiagui would be akin to that of gods, but in the eyes of the thousands of demi-gods present, it looked like a mere joke. Watching the emergent half-silver, half-bronze scales on Su Yu, many Black Warriors really felt like laughing.

Without even having fully transformed into Silver Soldiers, they hardly counted as cannon fodder. Just like the last battle between the Silver Empire and Demon City, the warriors normally dispatched were all fully silver-transformed.

In this world, only those who have fully silver-transformed count as official Warriors, but now, Su Yu, the new Master of Companion, hadn’t even reached the level of a common fully silver-transformed Warrior, which to these demi-gods, was an utterly hilarious spectacle.

Ming Jing, Zhang Kuo, and Wang Heng, the three squad leaders, exchanged glances, then shook their heads with a hint of helplessness in their eyes.

Yana on the flying machine let out a faint gasp. Looking back, it had not been long since the two guys had burst out of the Bronze Tower. She remembered that those two guys seemed to have been at the Bronze Warrior level. How had they both become Silver Soldiers after such a short period of absence, especially that one, who had even reached the Third Level of the Silver Soldiers.

This made Yana take another good look at Su Yu. Previously in her mind, she was more concerned about Qin Jiagui. After all, there was a god from the previous era dormant within him. But now, Su Yu’s Third Level Silver Soldier made Yana feel a bit of surprise, though the surprise was fleeting.

With a cold sneer, Yana hesitated no more; she immediately called upon the "Hundred Ghost Deities."

With a press of her slender finger, the first of the Ghost Deities, towering one to two hundred meters tall, descended silently from the void with a roar, appearing in front of Qin Jiagui and Su Yu.

Seeing the Ghost Deity arrive, many Black Warriors let out a light exclamation.

"It’s a Demon Divine Beast. This little girl can summon Demon Divine Beasts; no wonder she’s so confident," one Black Warrior chuckled.

"But her own strength isn’t sufficient; she likely can’t bring out much of the Demon Divine Beast’s real power," another pondered.

"Summoning a Demon Divine Beast consumes a lot of life force. It really isn’t worth it unless one can find a special way to summon without depleting their own life force."

For demi-gods with tens of thousands of years of life force, they could live a very long time. With ample time, they could focus on becoming stronger, and not many would want to waste their life force summoning Demon Divine Beasts—especially as more powerful the summoned creature would be, the more life force it would require to summon.
