Chapter 510 Robbing the Rich to Help the Poor
The demonic Qi covering the sky, under the increasing onslaught of flower petals, gradually appeared to be in a state of solitary weakness.
People watched with wide-open eyes as the demonic Qi was scattered by the mudslide-like petal torrent, observing the Nirvana Being summoning their Life Base and Carapace to fend off the petals, only to see the Life Base and Carapace gradually shattered in the torrent, and finally, the white battle suit on the Nirvana Being's body was torn apart, and their watch burst open.
The body of the Nirvana Being was lifted skyward by the flood of petals, the scoring light and shadow above their head disappearing without a trace, and for a long time, the Nirvana Being did not fall back down, probably blown out beyond the stratosphere.
"Are Nirvana Beings so weak? Truly disappointing," Lin Xiangdong said, shaking his head slightly, the very picture of disappointment, as the score above his head changed from 1 to 2.
Watching Lin Xiangdong returning to sit cross-legged under the flowering tree, the spectating crowd exploded.

"The Undefeated King was still an Ascender just over a month ago, at that time he even challenged a well-known Ascender, in such a short span of time, he must have just attained Nirvana, right? How has he become so fierce?"
"I recognize that member of the Immeasurable Sea from the Flying Demon Clan, although a minor race, their strength absolutely cannot be considered weak, a thrice Nirvana Being with a combat level that is passable, but was just blown away by the Undefeated King, shattering both Life Base and Carapace in one strike, when did the Undefeated King become so strong?"
"They're just not able to beat those top-tier geniuses, but their standards are still pretty even with them. What makes those minor races' ordinary types think they can challenge the Undefeated King, as if he were a pushover?"
"Ha-ha, dreaming of scoring points from the Undefeated King? Even Di Esi returning to Nirvana couldn't hold onto a Nirvana Being of the same class."
"Sister, is this what you call 'pleasing to the eye and useful'?" Tia asked, her eyes filled with little stars.
"It's okay, I guess," Catherine replied casually.
While Lin Xiangdong was comfortably watching the sea on one side, Lin Shen was completely unaware that he was not on the battlefield of the Ascenders, without any source of information in the battlefield itself.
At that time, he was discreetly collecting points while searching for Lin Xiangdong's whereabouts.
Nearly a dozen Ascenders nearby had been coerced into joining Lin Shen's team, with the motto 'join the team or we target you.'
Those who could escape did so, while those who couldn't either joined the team or had their points stolen; Lin Shen had essentially become the local tyrant and ringleader.
Not in a hurry to expand his territory, he led the dozen Ascenders watching a battle between the Elephant Man and another tall Ascender.
The one fighting the Elephant Man was a member of the Weak Warrior Race, a race whose name Lin Shen only knew because Lang had told him about them; he had never seen individuals of this race before.
The name 'Weak Warrior' might sound inferior, but their physique was nearly on par with the Elephant Man, and their strength was just as remarkable, the shockwaves generated from the two giants' frenzied combat were terrifying.
"These two are tough to handle; they probably both have the strength of Seventh or Eighth Turn, we might not be able to handle them, let's go find other Ascenders," Lang whispered in Lin Shen's ear.
"No rush, let's watch and see," Lin Shen said calmly, lightly shaking his folding fan.
The Elephant Man and the Weak Warrior were evenly matched, difficult to determine a winner or loser in a short time.
Lin Shen wasn't in the mood to watch their strength contest indefinitely, so he lightly waved his folding fan toward them.
A Mysterious Light Pattern shot out, landing on the two of them, significantly diminishing their strength with an extraordinarily evident effect.
Lang, Ao, and other Ascenders who had been compelled to join the team, saw that Lin Shen had such a trick up his sleeve, and all of them were simultaneously shocked and overjoyed.
Weakening abilities were exceedingly rare, and they couldn't believe Lin Shen possessed such a power, which seemed to have a very effective outcome.
Just a moment ago, Lang was apprehensive about the Elephant Man and Weak Warrior's formidable powers, fearing they were not up to the challenge and preferring not to provoke them.
But now Lang felt that he alone could match any one of them, which showed just how apparent the effect of Lin Shen's skill was.
Now, all the Ascenders who had joined the team began to feel fortunate for having joined. With Lin Shen's skill in hand, they could rob many Ascenders stronger than themselves.
Although Lin Shen would definitely only distribute a small portion of the points to them, it was still much better than always being robbed by others.
"Boss, let's go get them," Lang and the others were eager to try, even their way of addressing him had changed. Just moments ago, they were all calling each other brothers, but now Lin Shen had earned the title of Boss.
"Don't rush, I'll go talk to them first," Lin Shen said as he walked towards the Elephant Man and the Weak Warrior People.
Both had stopped fighting because of Lin Shen's skill and were now glaring at Lin Shen.
"Is it you?" The Elephant Man recognized Lin Shen and frowned, "I'm not fighting you, so why did you use your skill on me?"
"If you're not fighting me, why are you fighting him?" Lin Shen countered.
"Didn't you just say that true warriors should fight against the strong? He's strong, that's why I want to fight him, to get his points," the Elephant Man said.
"Wrong, he's not strong at all, so you've picked the wrong person," Lin Shen said lightly, waving his folding fan, and removed the weakening skill from the Elephant Man.
"He's not strong?" The Elephant Man looked doubtfully at Lin Shen and then at the Weak Warrior People.
"Of course, he's not strong. I bet he can't even withstand one of your axe blows. Don't believe me? I'll ask him." Lin Shen then turned to the Weak Warrior People and asked, "Are you strong?"
"You removed the weakening skill from the Elephant Man, but mine is still on. When you ask me like this, how can I not be weak?" the Weak Warrior People's eyelid twitched, already cursing inwardly, but he could only say, "Not strong."
"See, I told you he wasn't strong," Lin Shen said with a smile.
"Then who counts as a strong person?" the Elephant Man asked.
"Look at the numbers on top of our heads, those with smaller numbers are weak, those with bigger numbers are strong," Lin Shen explained.
"I can't read," the Elephant Man said, somewhat embarrassed.
"Not to worry, just follow me. When we meet strong ones, I'll tell you, and we'll defeat them together, take their points, and distribute them to us, the weak and pitiful. This is called wealth redistribution," Lin Shen said.
"What is wealth redistribution?" the Elephant Man was still visibly confused.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Have you heard the story of a warrior defeating the Evil Dragon and sharing the dragon's stolen treasure with the poor?" Lin Shen said gently.
"Is that wealth redistribution?" The Elephant Man's eyes lit up.
"Yes, that is wealth redistribution," Lin Shen confirmed, then turned to the Weak Warrior People and asked, "Would you like to join our wealth redistribution team?"
"Willing," the Weak Warrior People's eyelid twitched crazily again. Could he say he wasn't willing? The skill was still affecting him, and Lin Shen obviously had no intention of letting him go.
"Thank you, that'll be a small membership fee," Lin Shen said with a smile, stretching out his hand.
The Weak Warrior People, with a dark expression, transferred the few points he had to Lin Shen.
"I need to pay a membership fee too, then? Here, take mine," the Elephant Man said, overhearing, and also handed over his few points to Lin Shen.
"This idiot!" The Weak Warrior People looked at the Elephant Man as if he was looking at a fool, the kind who gets swindled and even gives money to the swindler.
Lin Shen accepted the membership fees from both of them, and the team grew stronger once more.
