Chapter 40: Chapter 40: Reversal of Victory and Defeat, Fate Decided

”You lost.”

Li Shutong sat there, all night long.

The quantum avatar opposite him did the same.

The opponent was waiting for him to make a move, to then execute a counterattack, but in fact, he simply didn’t need to make a move at all.

”A disciple doesn’t have to fall short of the mentor.”

In this regard, Han Zhan excelled.

The role of a teacher is to be a guide, not just a shield or a crutch.

”Han Zhan, he’s already walked far on his own path, perhaps even he doesn’t realize.”

”In an insect apocalypse, what’s most precious is the will of the people!”

The quantum avatar opposite him remained silent.

Li Shutong found that the opponent had already severed contact with this body.

”Quite resolute.”

Li Shutong shook his head, and soon, his communicator rang.

”Old Li, the tracking failed, we were so close to finding out who’s behind it, such a shame.”

”Old Shang, could it really be you?”

”Screw you!”

The call was abruptly ended with curses from the other side of the communicator.

A note inexplicably appeared on Li Shutong’s desk.

[Someone assisted in shielding, the tracking failed, there’s more than one force behind this.]

After reading the note, Li Shutong watched as the words on the paper started to disappear as if erased by an invisible hand, and ultimately vanished along with the note itself.

”More than one force?”

Li Shutong chuckled slightly, lifting his head to look at the quantum avatar in front of him.

He stepped forward and gently patted its shoulder.

The next moment, it disintegrated into dust.

...

Deep Blue City, at the center of the square.

The crowd had not yet recovered from the sudden reversal of events.

They only saw,

The original content on the electronic screen was replaced, and new footage started playing:

”My name is Han Zhan, I’m a Spirit Contract Master!”

”I came here, not just to survive!”

”Kill!”

This was footage of Han Zhan’s first encounter with a Tier Three Insect Race during a combat assessment.

That fearsome Insect Race that terrified ordinary people, its overwhelming fury could be felt even through the screen!

Yet Han Zhan stepped up with firm steps!

The footage shifted:

The sound of the Ripped Silk Zither raged through the dust storm, and the Zither Sound Air Blade reaped the lives of countless dying insects.

When the Deep Blue Trading Team found themselves isolated, facing an overwhelming black tornado, a black pickup truck charged into it like a moth to a flame!

Han Zhan stood at the back of the truck with a zither, like an Exiled Immortal!

Once again, he stood at the forefront.

The final scene was just outside Deep Blue City.

The powerful Tier Three Insect Race Wanderer covered the ground with a Black Tent, continuously consuming and expanding, attempting to incite a new wave of insect disaster.

It was Han Zhan again, standing in its path.

Six Ding Thunder, Six Divine Illusions.

The majestic heavenly power, divine thunder bringing extinction!

The blazing white lightning shattered not only the Black Tent, the Wanderer, but also the hearts of those citizens in Deep Blue City who were chanting in agreement!

Was this a traitor?

If this was a traitor, then what were they?

Everyone was silent.

Kang Chuan, seeing the situation spinning out of control, had a white apparition appear behind him.

The mysterious master suppressing Han Zhan appeared!

The air thickened once again.

This time, the coverage area was even larger!

Not only the execution platform, but also Li Lingzhen and Shang Siteng on the airborne platform, and Yi Fan behind the electronic screen, were all included.

Everyone felt their breathing become difficult, the air thick and heavy, their vision began to blur.

The opponent was cornered.

Seeing that they couldn’t destroy Han Zhan completely.

They had to settle for a less dignified method.

Forceful obliteration!

As long as they killed Han Zhan, they hadn’t lost yet!

This mysterious master was enveloped in brilliance while activating his talent.

Absolute power.

His strength had reached Tier Six, even faintly touching the threshold of Tier Seven.

Even within the Dawn Organization, his strength was outstanding.

The task that Dawn assigned him,

would be his first chance to show the world his fangs.

He would use the blood of this talented Spirit Contract Master named Han Zhan to stain Deep Blue with red!

Invisible forces spread out like frenzied tentacles.

Aiming to envelop Han Zhan.

Suddenly, an abrupt mutation occurred.

The mysterious master radiating brilliance found his body mysteriously erased from the top down, gradually disappearing!

Until he vanished entirely.

Everyone gasped for air as if reborn, the feeling of thickened air vanished.

Gone?

Where did that mysterious master go?!

Kang Chuan’s eyes widened in disbelief, unable to comprehend such a question.

But someone could make him realize.

Han Zhan descended from the execution platform.

The suppressors on his hands and feet disappeared simultaneously.

Justice, indeed, will ultimately triumph over evil.

He was to land the final blow.

Han Zhan’s fist struck Kang Chuan’s face.

Knocking him hard to the ground, Han Zhan stepped on Kang Chuan’s head, then grabbed the very microphone Kang Chuan had used in his high-sounding speeches.

”My name is Han Zhan.”

”As you can see, I stand here, and your new City Lord is on the ground.”

”It is not a City Lord, but a Tier Four Insect Race, an Erosion Insect, that parasitized a human, misleading and attempting subversion.”

”You don’t have to believe me because what I’ve done was never meant to make you believe.”

”I stand here because I have people I want to protect!”

”For humanity!”

Han Zhan spoke, pressing down with his foot.

Red and white pulp flowed from the execution platform.

The platform served its purpose.

Only the executed had changed.

A sudden eruption of cheers followed.

More fervent applause and shouting echoed across the square.

Because humanity had won!

Once more, they shattered the Insect Race’s conspiracy.

Because their city was safeguarded.

Because this young man named Han Zhan was quite handsome.

After completing these actions, Han Zhan walked away without looking back.

Youwei was the first to run past Chen Guangpu and join him.

Then Li Lingzhen and Shang Siteng,

They descended from their aircraft, following behind Han Zhan.

There is always such a group of people,

They leave their backs to others, regardless of ridicule, praise, shouting, or disparagement.

They don’t care.

They will continue to move forward,

Always forward,

With the belief to completely eradicate the Insect Race bringing destruction.

Li Shutong stood further ahead of Han Zhan.

Holding his walking stick in both hands, his tone mingled with pride and amusement.

”How does it feel?” Li Shutong asked.

”Having the teacher clean up the mess feels great. But if there’s a next time, I would prefer to be the Chess Player.”

Han Zhan’s voice also carried a hint of a smile.

He answered.

”Because.”

”This is my path.”
