Chapter 293: Chapter 199 Advancing_3

Zhao Lingfu was resting on the side of the road at this moment, smoking a cigarette, his expression somewhat solemn.

The arrival of Lin Yue and others caught him by surprise.

"Zhao Lingfu, I thought you were dead. I didn’t hear any movement from your side as I pushed forward, and the number of Walking Corpses nearby was unusually high, so I guessed that your squad wasn’t making good progress," Lin Yue said as she approached, frowning.

"We encountered a few Spiritual Sense Level dried corpses and took a heavy loss. The squad suffered greatly; two dead, two severely injured. The severely injured members were evacuated by helicopter. Now I’m the only one left, so naturally, the operation has slowed down," Zhao Lingfu flicked his fingers, sending half a cigarette flying, then slowly stood up.

"It looks like I won’t be able to snatch a spot as a Cross-border, but getting a Mysterious Object Cultivation Room up to this point shouldn’t be a problem. However, I’m curious how such a makeshift team managed to get ahead of me."

He sized up Li Yi and the others, appearing somewhat surprised.

Because the team also had two Spirit Medium Realm Cultivators, although they were snipers’ positions, their survival until now was enough to show that the team had the strength to protect the two snipers; otherwise, they wouldn’t have survived.

Is Lin Yue that strong?

No, that’s not right.

The issue seemed to be with that Li Yi.

Zhao Lingfu squinted at Li Yi, seeing him radiant all around in red, a beam of red light seeming to shoot straight into the sky above his head, extraordinarily mystical. Even without getting close, he felt a wave of heat emanating from him, as if he was a burning furnace.

This was definitely not something a Cultivator in the inspiration realm could achieve.

"Zhao Lingfu, since your squad has stopped here, why not join our team temporarily?" Li Yi stepped forward and extended the invitation.

"Join your team?"

Zhao Lingfu smiled, "Normally no problem, but now... I know about your feud with Yang Yilong. He will certainly seek revenge tonight, and staying with you might just lead to being targeted by Yang Yilong, and I don’t want to get involved in your fight."

"So, you are also afraid of Yang Yilong," Li Yi said.

Zhao Lingfu replied, "I’m not afraid of him, just can’t beat him. Therefore, I don’t want to fight someone I can’t beat over some inexplicable issues and risk losing my life unnecessarily."

However, Lin Yue added, "Zhao Lingfu, you are well aware, with your skills, you can’t enter the Golden Academy or become a Cross-border. Why not become an investor? Investing in Li Yi is an opportunity for you."

"Invest in Li Yi?" Zhao Lingfu’s expression shifted slightly.

Lin Yue was right.

He indeed didn’t have the capability to go further into the Golden Academy, but this Li Yi seemed to have some competitive edge, being an external combat member of the investigative bureau and eligible for the bureau’s quota.

But now wasn’t a good time to invest in Li Yi, with Yang Yilong around, whether Li could survive the night was uncertain.

However, isn’t investment most valuable when it’s most needed?

"Let me think about it and I’ll give you an answer," Zhao Lingfu said as he lit another cigarette.

Lin Yue retorted, "Then you’d better think quickly."

Zhao Lingfu smiled, "See, you are in a hurry again."

Then he glanced at Li Yi, "I don’t mind investing in you, but we must separate issues; if you want me to deal with Yang Yilong today, that’s another matter. I don’t want to invest in you today and die today."

"Zhao Lingfu, is that what you call investment?" Lin Yue frowned.

"If you don’t interfere with your issues with Yang Yilong, forget what I just said," Zhao Lingfu stated.

Li Yi then said, "I won’t make you face Yang Yilong; I will handle him myself. If it comes to fighting, I just hope you can help me restrain the other Spiritual Perception Masters in Yang Yilong’s team. In exchange, I can share the Guiding Skill with you."

"Oh?"

Zhao Lingfu was surprised, not expecting Li Yi to have the confidence to contend with Yang Yilong.

"Interesting."

Then he laughed, "I’d like to see how you handle Yang Yilong. If you can really take care of him, I will not only invest in you unconditionally but also bet all my worth on you and work for you."

In Tianchang City, no Spiritual Perception Master who could defeat Yang Yilong had emerged, not even Li Shaqing from the Cultivator Association could necessarily do it.

Li Yi, currently only in the inspiration realm, if he could transcend a realm and kill Yang Yilong, then Zhao Lingfu would truly admire him.

Such a person would surely enter the Golden Academy and become a Cross-border in the future; serving him wouldn’t be a loss.

But Zhao Lingfu considered this an impossibility, so he didn’t mind making a tempting offer.

"Alright, that’s settled then," Li Yi surprisingly agreed immediately.

Zhao Lingfu felt a bit skeptical upon seeing this.

Could this Li Yi really create a miracle?

Not only he was suspicious, Lin Yue was also surprised, she didn’t believe Li Yi could defeat Yang Yilong, but having such faith was a good thing, and she didn’t want to discourage him.

"What a madman."

Zhao Lingfu stood up smiling, "Since that’s the case, let’s continue. If you want to vie for the spot, we must start now; other teams won’t wait for you."
