Chapter 450, Nathan Island Arc, End
Then Li Muyang apologized to the hyena. Oh, he was the Inhuman who betrayed and kidnapped Ron. After all, Li Muyang had also teleported him back to Behemoth's aircraft carrier. The hyena never expected that Li Muyang would come all the way to apologize to him for something like this. He was extremely apprehensive and said it was nothing.
Anyway, he left safely, taking his teammates with him!
The reason they were with the debt collectors was only to temporarily borrow a passage. They knew they couldn't go back to Behemoth, and no one else would necessarily accept them. This was their only way out.
The debt collectors took in the hyenas because this guy did a great job. The debt collectors' leader, Edmund, and Ron belonged to the same family and were brothers.
Therefore, he understands Ron very well. He has fantasized about being a "superman" since he was a child, and the fate of supermen is often to be sacrificed by the mob. So Ron, this "superman," believes that he has long been prepared to sacrifice himself.
As it turned out, Ron was clearly a coward who clung to life. When the hyena was actually preparing to kill him and take him down with him, Ron finally backed down.
It seems he wasn't as great as he imagined!
Actually, these two brothers are pretty much the same; one is a boy with a perpetual dream of becoming a hero, and the other...
Well, to put it simply, Edmund gained his powers through Behemoth, but because the company lost Misha, he became hostile to the company.
Don't misunderstand, Misha wasn't his lover, mistress, or family member. That was just an excuse. Misha was the protagonist of a comic book Edmund drew when he was a child. The real reason was that Edmund didn't approve of his family's way of life.
However, Edmund is stronger than Ron because his will is indeed stronger! In this "Anti-Behemoth Alliance," the debt collectors are indeed the main force.
For debt collectors, is the sacred tree more important or Behemoth?
Sacred tree?
Behemoth?
Neither is correct. For debt collectors, not having Behemoth is very important!
They are specifically there to oppose Behemoth!
After saying goodbye to the group of debt collectors, Li Muyang arrived at Behemoth's aircraft carrier.
Ron has returned to his former sunny and cheerful boyish self, well, at least most of it, right? And he should be an old boy now, he's not young anymore.
This operation was a complete failure for them. Ron was even taken hostage, and they lost all face and dignity! The family's influence in Behemoth also declined significantly.
“Mr. Li, you’ve made us suffer so much!” Ron cried and complained as soon as he arrived.
Li Muyang retorted without changing his expression, "Mr. Ron, you must be reasonable! Our agreement is that we will not interfere with Behemoth's operations on Nathan Island! So, when I made my move, did Behemoth already admit that the operation had failed? How did I interfere with your operations?"
Ron choked, oh...
"Not only did I not interfere with your operations, but I also sent you back to your aircraft carrier when you were kidnapped, Mr. Ron. If it weren't for me, you might still be a hostage on the debt collectors' ship. So, Mr. Ron, it's one thing to be ungrateful, but how can you turn around and blame me?"
Li Muyang said in a serious tone, "I don't owe you Behemoths anything! But Mr. Ron, you do owe me a life-saving favor! I don't expect you to repay the favor, but at least don't be unreasonable, okay? If you're being unreasonable, then I'll have to reason with you properly!"
As he spoke, Li Muyang raised his hand, and a giant sword formed of golden energy appeared in the air, with the words "Reason" written on it.
Ron was speechless, unable to utter a word. He wanted to disregard martial ethics, but Li Muyang's actions earlier had been devastating, an island had simply vanished into thin air. He just couldn't bring himself to say it! The hyena's threat had already made Ron realize the reality: he was, after all, afraid of dying.
The person in front of him could really kill him, and could even kill the entire Behemoth!
If that sword light from the sky were to fall freely, his aircraft carrier would probably sink right here!
Moreover, Ron had to admit that Li Muyang was right in both words and deeds! Apart from having the Fallen Angels keep an eye on their actions, Li Muyang did keep his promise and did not interfere with Behemoth's actions until they failed.
The only problem is Li Muyang's behavior, which clearly indicates that he believes they cannot succeed, which is why Ron is very unhappy.
If it were anyone else, Ron would have already ordered his men to attack them if they dared to swagger onto their aircraft carrier now. But with Li Muyang, he could only helplessly hurl a few words at him.
After taking a quick look around Behemoth, Li Muyang was ready to leave. He had only come to give these capitalists a warning because he thought they were crazy and felt worse seeing others make money than they did when they lost it. This was just a necessary warning.
I'm planning to buy a brain-training game console in a while; the market can't be disrupted because of this.
Before leaving, he casually told Ron the news. Ron had lost a lot on this trip, so he should be given a chance. Li Muyang considered himself a very fair person. Since he had said before that there would be no losers this time, he should leave some opportunities for this self-righteous guy.
A chance to catch one's breath and turn things around.
Who can blame Ron for not being particularly disliked by Li Muyang, aside from his arrogance? Isn't that a common problem among Americans? At least when he made a mistake, he knew to regret it and repent, instead of blaming others and shifting the blame to others to absolve himself of all responsibility!
This alone was enough for Li Muyang to look at him with new respect; after all, he was the tallest among the short.
Moreover, his deputy, well, his name is Gade, is also a talented person. If there were no external factors affecting Ron, his ability to handle affairs together with his deputy would be considered above average.
Consider it a strategic move left in the US federal government. Li Muyang isn't sure if he might go there later; what if he does? Having some connections makes things easier.
Doing everything yourself only lowers your class!
Finally, Li Muyang naturally arrived at the ship of Na Du Tong.
Upon seeing Li Muyang arrive, Huang Boren, along with Zhang Chulan, Zhuge Qing, and their group, came to greet him.
"Master Li is truly generous! Refining an entire island to repair a magical artifact," Huang Boren quipped with a half-smile. "This could probably be passed down as a myth for generations to come, wouldn't it?"
Li Muyang's lips twitched, and he raised his hands in surrender: "No, Chairman Huang is too kind to me. We're all old acquaintances, so please don't call me that. It's weird."
"As for refining an island... to be honest, it's just basic operation. Putting aside the materials I used to repair the magic weapon this time, Nathan Island and the Divine Tree are probably the least valuable and the easiest substitutes to find. Secondly, I'm not just doing this to repair my own magic weapon."
Everyone was curious upon hearing this; what other purpose could there be?
Li Muyang smiled mysteriously: "How should I put it? It's fine to tell you all. Simply put, my cultivation level has advanced further, and I'm now only one step away from becoming an immortal."
Yes, taking advantage of the opportunity to repair the Kongtong Seal, Li Muyang has broken through to the Mahayana Realm.
He could break through the barrier of realm at any time long ago, and the so-called bottleneck of the Mahayana stage was no longer a problem. This time, when the feeling came, he just went with the flow and broke through easily.
A moment of silence fell over everyone. They were all extraordinary individuals, and those like Zhang Chulan and Zhuge Qing had inherited the lineage of prestigious sects. They all understood the true value of the words "becoming an immortal"! It was the "miracle" that their sects were all pursuing!
The sight of someone about to become an immortal before them was truly awe-inspiring to all of them.
When Huang Boren heard Li Muyang's further words, he was stunned for a long time. After looking at Li Muyang, who seemed to have not changed much, he still couldn't help but ask with curiosity: "How so, Mr. Li, are you stronger than before?"
When asked about this question, Li Muyang stroked his chin and pondered for a moment before explaining, "Chairman Huang, a detailed explanation is not possible in a short time, so I will give you a simple and straightforward answer: it is natural that as one's realm advances further, one's combat strength will definitely change significantly."
"However, our cultivation system does not simply divide combat power by realm. It is only a basic reference. Because each realm breakthrough, apart from a basic characteristic, is actually a breakthrough of oneself. To put it bluntly, it is breaking through the six dimensions that one cannot increase."
"For us, the realms before and after the Golden Core stage are like two different kinds of people. The difference in combat power between the two is basically difficult to make up for. However, after the Golden Core stage, whether it is the Nascent Soul stage, the Integration stage, or the Mahayana stage, the difference in combat power can be made up for because, theoretically, the combat power of each realm can be infinitely stacked."
At this point, Li Muyang spread his hands meaningfully: "In other words, we have some cultivation geniuses who may have the combat power of Nascent Soul or even Body Integration Realm cultivators when they are at the Golden Core stage, which means they belong to the type of cultivators who can fight beyond their level."
"Breaking through to the Golden Core realm can be divided into two types: one is when the feeling comes, which is commonly known as the right time, and the breakthrough happens naturally; the other is when one breaks through the bottleneck of the realm by relying on their own powerful combat strength."
"So, Mr. Li, what's your situation this time?" Zhuge Qing, who always had his eyes narrowed, asked curiously.
Li Muyang glanced at Zhuge Qing and casually remarked, "Brother Zhuge, can you open your eyes and talk to me? You always make me feel like you have no respect for anyone."
Zhuge Qing (；￣д￣): "..."
"Haha! Just kidding." Li Muyang chuckled, seemingly calm but actually putting on airs, and said, "Why don't you guys guess first?"
"I've often heard from A Qing that Brother Li is exceptionally strong in combat. He must have broken through by relying on his combat strength, right?" Zhuge Qing's girlfriend, Fu Rong, guessed, and then gave Zhuge Qing a deep, affectionate look.
Li Muyang (′-i_-｀): I get shown off wherever I go! My Yuxiu and Ling'er! I must bring them next time! Show them off in front of everyone!
