Such a huge mistake occurred, yet Japan is still willing to give Lingze another chance. This is sowhat suspicious.
It must be known that there are plenty of ambitious people in Japan. Previously, perhaps few paid attention to this broken base, but since Lingze beca the Sect Leader, it has developed remarkably within less than a year. Furthermore, it has brought a significant impact to the world by reviving the Assassination Order.
However, mistakes should be punished; rules and regulations must be upheld.
The usual procedure would be to swiftly replace the current leader, letting soone else take Lingze's position as Commander-in-Chief.
Yet, what Lingze received wasn't a notice of investigation, but a so-called opportunity. So, what is the purpose behind this action?
In fact, it's not that Japan doesn't want to replace Lingze, but rather, who should replace him?
They can't find… It's not that Japan lacks outstanding talent, but that these so-called talents can't surpass Lingze.
Yes, they can't… Just the fact that Lingze developed the base to its current scale in nine months without costing Japan a penny is a capability none of Japan's so-called talent can achieve.
Muto indeed has foresight; he acknowledged Lingze and gave him an opportunity. Japan also affird Lingze's capabilities.
However, with this mishap affecting killer organizations globally, the Japanese authorities won't simply ignore it. So, they left an opportunity: if Lingze can defeat the five before him, the position of Sect Leader will still be his. Additionally, there will be other special rewards.
Five people…
At an age of over sixty… Their age is so advanced, yet their skills are so strong. Who exactly are they?
"Whiz…"
One person first launched an attack on Lingze, with a ferocious montum not inferior to that of younger individuals. The high-speed assault, the profound Inner Strength, and the fists' wind that could injure with just a graze…
Lingze's eyes showed a slight glint… Seeing the fist almost reaching him, yet no reaction at all…
Can't dodge? No ti? Or is it…
'Whiz.'
Just as the elder master rushed to within three ters of Lingze, a figure suddenly darted from behind Lingze and charged forward without a word.
'Bang.'
The two sides clashed, creating a fierce current of air that scattered dust around them.
"Huh?" The elder was slightly startled, surprised that soone could block his attack. Moreover, this person wasn't Lingze.
"Ling Yi, return."
As others were also guessing who the expert was that blocked the attack for Lingze, Lingze finally spoke.
"Yes, Sect Leader." Upon hearing the order, Ling Yi quickly leaped back, returning to stand steadily behind Lingze.
He was actually Ling Yi…
Ling Yi to Ling Wu were the n Lingze brought into the base after his revival. These individuals seldom appeared, and it was said Ling Yi and Ling Si always wore half masks, with long hair covering most of the other side of their face.
They rarely spoke, and what they did daily was only known to Lingze, who could command them.
As for Ling Wu, she has never appeared in the base. Other than Lingze, only Uncle Zhong was aware of her identity.
Challenge to strength, Lingze had no retreat, but he didn't need one either. Since he was given an opportunity, it ant they didn't want to replace him easily. So, he should showcase so strength in front of Miyamoto for him to report back properly.
"Mr. Miyamoto, you just said that I should engage with these five seniors?" Lingze's words were very calm.
"Correct. As long as you win, it shows that your strength is recognized by everyone. However, if you accidentally die at the hands of these five gentlen, then… Mr. Muto can only be blad for choosing the wrong person initially."
"Alright, let's begin."
With a simple answer, Lingze removed his coat, folded it gently, and handed it to Ling Yi behind him.
"Sect Leader…" Ling Yi, who had just exchanged a move with the opponent, understood that they were not easy to deal with, and if the five opponents attacked together, it might indeed harm Lingze.
"What? You could block them, and you think I can't?"
"No, I misspoke." Ling Yi quickly bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
'Pat Pat.' Lingze lightly patted Ling Yi's shoulder and then stepped forward.
In this small courtyard, Lingze stood at the center without any preparatory moves, just quietly watching.
The five elders, over sixty years old, weren't going to waste a word. They began to stride, attacking Lingze from five directions almost instantly.
Such speed.
Yes, all five were fast, not showing any signs of being over sixty.
'Bang.'
Strong Inner Strength, no wonder Ling Yi had that expression earlier. However, not too difficult to deal with either.
Indeed, Lingze's true strength had always been an enigma. Initially, in Yanhuang Soul, he was at most an A-level Warrior, slightly stronger even when hiding his strength. If he hadn't secretly learned Xiaofan's Toothpick Ejection, or if Shen Junjie hadn't been careless, he could hardly have gained an advantage over Shen Junjie.
Later, he returned to Japan, trained with Muto for over a month, and took the antidote from White Scorpion. His strength significantly improved, but still wasn't a match for Li San.
Nearly a year later, he beca a Mutant. Yet, he never stopped learning the Martial Arts Muto left behind. However, no one had ever witnessed him strike again, so what was his current strength?
The top ten assassins are only seeking tasks out of necessity, trying to beco stronger because they can only survive in the Assassin World.
But those true hidden masters don't care about those so-called empty reputations.
Like these five before him…
The strength of the Five Ghosts was strong back then, but in terms of status, these five were higher than them. They didn't need to personally get involved in fights.
Putting aside their occupation, first look at Lingze's situation in combat.
The wind rose, weapons clashed, they were fast… Lingze was faster.
With his Mutant body as a shield, Lingze could fearlessly withstand many physical attacks.
Even though the five opponents had formidable strength, as long as they didn't target his weak points, he would find opportunities to counterattack.
'Bang.'
Sure enough, Lingze broke free from encirclent, found a lone opponent, and struck with all his might, sending the opponent flying over eight ters away.
"Netherworld Kill… You've actually mastered Mr. Muto's technique?" The elder who was blown away looked at Lingze with a face full of shock.
