Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 934 - 576: Condition_2

Amid a flurry of words and multi-faceted analysis, although logical and well-founded, everything said seemed to evoke a sense of unease.

Xu Yang, upon hearing this, shook his head, "A seasoned Lord must have Heroes, and combined with their extremely high Charm Attribute and Leadership Skills, they can bring a host of Elite troops and Siege Weapons even when fighting away from home. The defenses of your territory might not be secure, and as for the promises and support of the student council..."

The rest of his words were left unsaid, concluding with a laugh that hinted more than it revealed.

Zhang Yan, upon hearing this, also fell silent, unsure of how to respond.

Just then...

"Hey!"

"So much nonsense, are you helping or not?"

"If you're helping, then help, if not, forget it, why inflate others' morale and deflate your own prestige?"

"If you're scared, just say it; no need to make up so many excuses!"

"Junior, don't waste your time with this kind of person!"

Seeing that Zhang Yan was silent and at a loss for words, someone from behind quickly spoke out.

Xu Yang, however, paid no attention and simply looked at Zhang Yan, "I can help you through this crisis, but there are two conditions!"

Zhang Yan's eyes sharpened with surprise, Feng Cheng's expression also drastically changed, and the people at the back even stood up angrily, as if ready to start a fight.

"Everyone, calm down!"

Fortunately, Zhang Yan reacted quickly, immediately quelling the crowd and then inquired cautiously from Xu Yang, "What conditions?"

"Firstly, I want the Unrivaled Token, and it must be handed over to me beforehand!"

Xu Yang spoke directly and to the point, "Secondly, any personal kills I make during the defense battle are mine alone, and after the battle, I have the right to choose three items first from the overall spoils of war."

"What?"

As these words were spoken, not only Zhang Yan, but the group behind her banged the table and stood up, especially a few "senior" students who voiced their anger outright.

"You dare to take advantage of a crisis?"

"Who do you think you are, to make such demands?"

"And you talk about getting through this crisis... the other side has one of the old-guard Lords on the Reputation rankings, not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry, not small fry."

"Junior, don't waste your time with this madman, with us seniors here, we'll definitely help you defend your territory!"

The shock and anger in their voices were undisguised, as if Xu Yang's conditions had hit a nerve.

Indeed they had!

People aren't fools, nor are there so many brain-dead, fawning dogs in the world. The only reason Zhang Yan was able to bring so many classmates and senior students to support her was her personal Charm, secondary only to the allure of the Unrivaled Token and various promised benefits.

But now, Xu Yang had demanded the Unrivaled Token right off the bat, even before the fight, seeking the best rewards, leaving the crowd struggling to accept it.

In addition, he also wanted the first pick of three items from the spoils of war after the battle.

You take the Unrivaled Token first and choose the spoils first, so what are we here for, to work for free?

Did you really think everyone was like Feng Cheng, a fawning dog who could disregard gains and losses, running on sheer affection?

As the crowd grew agitated, Xu Yang remained indifferent, merely showing Zhang Yan his attribute panel and equipment.

"Level 10?"

"Physical Strength of twenty-eight?"

"Common clothing, Yellow Turban?"

"Tiger Skin Coat, Ancient Ingot Knife, Reed Leaf Spear, Iron Embryo Bow, General Arrow?"

"This...!"

Witnessing the attribute panel and equipment Xu Yang displayed, Zhang Yan was also stunned.

She had some expectations about Xu Yang's strength; otherwise, she wouldn't have contacted him for assistance.

She had seen the newcomer's Reputation ranking and was aware of Xu Yang's basics: an orphan Lord with neither parents nor support, occupying a place on the newcomer's board, definitely possessed extraordinary capabilities.

But she had not anticipated that Xu Yang would be exceptional to such an extent.

In just a month's time, a Character Rank of 10, a Physical Attribute of twenty-eight, and unknown means of acquiring skills like Common Clothing and Yellow Turban, along with top-quality weaponry such as the Tiger Skin Coat, Ancient Ingot Knife, Iron Embryo Bow, and General Arrow, and even an Epic Item, the Reed Leaf Spear.

What did all this imply?

You should know that even she, who had the luck to draw a Rare Territory, only obtained one Epic Level item, the Unrivaled Token, and that too with the funding of the student council, following the defeat of the final boss. It was her sole reward.

Under normal circumstances, after a Lord cleared out the initial Demon Monsters in their territory, they could at most raise their level to five or six and obtain two or three Fine or Rare pieces of equipment. That's the absolute best one could do.

To get top quality or Epic items, it had to be a Rare Territory, or...

He soloed all the initial Demon Monsters, including the final Guardian Boss?

What kind of monster is this, why didn't he show such Martial Arts skills during our Martial Path class before?

This guy is really good at hiding his abilities!

Zhang Yan's thoughts were in disarray, but she quickly calmed down. Looking at the attribute panel Xu Yang displayed, she tentatively said, "About this Unrivaled Token, maybe I could..."

"No, you can't!"

Her words were cut off before she could finish, as Xu Yang calmly stated, "Using the Unrivaled Token in advance to enhance my combat strength will ensure the success of the defense battle and the safety of your territory. You should understand this rationale."

"..."

Zhang Yan fell silent for a moment, then said, "Alright, I agree, but we need to sign a contract!"

"This..."

"Class President!"

"Don't be fooled by him!"

Zhang Yan's concession caused a great shock amongst the others, with several upperclassman's faces turning pale with anger.

They had anticipated this outcome. Though some classmates had said this person was a talentless waste, it was clear that if he were truly good for nothing, Zhang Yan, a shrewd beauty, would not treat him as her savior and afford him such formal regard.

So...

The crowd expressed their anger and surprise, but Xu Yang paid them no mind and simply nodded to Zhang Yan, "It's possible!"

"Then it's settled!"

Zhang Yan nodded back, then turned to the remaining people and bowed deeply, "Thank you, classmates, and seniors for your righteous support. However, I regret to inform you that I must give the Unrivaled Token to Xu Yang in advance. If you are still willing to help, I will pay the corresponding mercenary fees..."

Before she could finish, one person stood up and left with a gloomy expression—it was an upperclassman.

"Sorry, junior!"

"Something suddenly came up in my territory, and I can't help you with this."

"Class President, I'm sorry, we..."

"Let's go, let's go, one rotten apple spoils the whole barrel!"

"..."

As one person left, the others followed suit, with nearly half leaving quickly, mostly upperclassmen, along with a few classmates from the same grade.

This was an expected reaction; they had come to lend a hand mainly for the Unrivaled Token. Now, without the Unrivaled Token, who would want to take that risk to face off against a Demon Abyss Lord mentioned on the Reputation Rankings.

Seeing this, Zhang Yan was unaffected, and she said to those remaining, "Thank you, everyone. I'll hire mercenaries with the surplus funds to ensure the maximum number of people and have enough troops to defend the city."

"Why are you saying this, Class President!"

"You've always taken care of us, how could we not help out now that you're in trouble!"

"What's there to fear from a Demon Abyss Lord? Let's fight him!"

"So what if that person left? He's just been in the Sky-reaching Tower two or three years longer. Just because we call him senior, does he really think he's that special?"

"We're all First-Order Lords; as long as we work together, defending the territory will not be a problem!"

People are different; some are solely motivated by profit, while others, with the fiery blood of youth and a pure heart, spoke passionately to Zhang Yan.

Looking back at Xu Yang, he remained mostly silent, getting straight to the point: "How much time do we have?"

"One day!"

Zhang Yan said gravely, "I've prepared a few Conquest Orders, and although they can't fend off the opponent's Rare Level Conquest Orders, they have delayed the battle to one day's preparation time. So far, less than two hours have passed."

"That's enough!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang was also decisive, "Let's sign the contract right away, and then return to the territory to prepare. Upgrade the troops if we can, boost our strength if we can; we'll assemble in twenty hours. Any problems with that?"

Seeing him naturally take charge, Zhang Yan's gaze shifted slightly, but she raised no objections and nodded, "Alright!"
