Chapter 1155: 518: Break through level 8 in one month!_2

Du Yan nodded and left the Foreign Tribe Army Camp directly.

Although he was a member of the Foreign Tribe Army, he had won Chief Konstantin’s trust and had a house on the mountaintop, belonging to the higher-ranking crowd.

Previously, he had always stayed in the Foreign Tribe Army Camp, but now he decided to stop pretending altogether.

After all, the houses on the mountaintop are much prettier, and they are much closer to Nini’an.

...

"Nini, why didn’t you kill Lanling?" Du Yan rushed to Nini’an and demanded.

She first prepared a smile, then turned her head and said, "I told Father, Du Yan will handle the killing."

Du Yan trembled slightly, then said, "Fine, I can go and chop off his dog head anytime."

Nini’an said, "One month from now, he will duel with you for the position of the Foreign Tribe Army’s successor. Of course, even ten of him wouldn’t be your match. You can take the opportunity to kill him."

Du Yan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, "He actually agreed? I can crush him with a single finger, like squishing an ant. He wants to duel me, that’s far too flattering."

Nini’an said, "He had no choice but to agree; this way, only he dies. Otherwise, Suo Mo and Dina would die too!"

Du Yan quickly understood: If Konstantin or Nini’an killed Lanling directly, Suo Mo would fight desperately.

But with Suo Mo’s martial arts unrecovered, choosing rebellion and death is a certainty.

However, if Lanling dies in the duel with Du Yan, Suo Mo won’t have a word to say—after all, Du Yan is his adopted son, and both sides would be technically dueling within accepted norms.

"Lanling’s matter, I leave it to you," Nini’an said softly, gazing tenderly at Du Yan.

Du Yan’s heart softened, his body heated, and he replied, "For our love, for our future, I’m willing to give everything."

Nini’an’s eyelashes quivered slightly; she found his words somewhat repulsive.

Du Yan could talk grandly but couldn’t even fight for her.

Lanling, on the other hand, was willing to sacrifice his life during the critical moments. He acted, not spoke, while Du Yan spoke, not acted.

The contrast between the two was stark.

And yet, Nini’an chose to side with the despicable one.

This realization made Nini’an feel even more conflicted, even a bit troubled.

...

The next morning, Chief Konstantin made an unprecedented visit to the Barbarian Army Camp and announced an explosive piece of news!

Due to disputes surrounding the successor for the Foreign Tribe Army’s leadership, it was decided that the candidate would be chosen through a duel.

One month from now, Lanling and Du Yan would duel, and the victor would become the Foreign Tribe Army’s next successor.

A duel to the death, life or death, no holds barred!

The moment this news was announced, it was like a boulder dropping into a calm lake.

All the brothers of the Foreign Tribe Army exploded in uproar!

Lanling had displayed extraordinary prowess in the last battle, earning the hearts of many brothers.

But even so, in the minds of the Foreign Tribe Army’s brothers, they still leaned toward Du Yan leading the army.

After all, Du Yan had been in the army for more than a decade, while Lanling had only been there for a month.

Du Yan may have various flaws, but at least he was somewhat fair. Most importantly, he was highly skilled in martial arts, capable of being a strong leader.

However, once this news was revealed, the balance in everyone’s hearts immediately tilted toward Lanling.

It was too despicable, too much bullying, too shameless!

Who didn’t know Lanling’s martial arts were weak? He hadn’t even broken through to Demon Warrior status.

And Du Yan? He was already a Four-Star Advanced Demon Warrior, more than ten levels above Lanling.

Such a duel wasn’t merely unfair—it was absurd, outright naked murder.

Even if the sun rose from the west, even if rivers flowed backward, Lanling was doomed to die.

To demand a duel with someone more than ten levels below you—it guarantees the opponent’s demise even if a deity intervened.

Du Yan’s shamelessness for the sake of power amounted to scheming to murder his adopted brother.

Immediately, all looks directed at Du Yan were filled with hostility and disdain.

And all gazes toward Lanling were brimming with sympathy and solidarity.

Leitong, as Lanling’s comrade, hesitated for a moment before springing to his feet and shouting, "Lord Suo Mo, you cannot agree to this; it’s not fair—it’s outright naked murder!"

"Yes, it’s outright naked murder," others also shouted beside him.

If this were in the Human Kingdom, no one would dare raise their voice over such matters.

But this was the Barbaric Wilderness, where all Barbarians were filled with fiery passion and staunch determination to never submit.

However...

When Chief Konstantin produced the duel agreement, Lanling was the first to step forward and sign.

The second was Du Yan!

The third was Suo Mo!

Because he held the right to designate his successor, although Chief Konstantin also possessed this authority.

When two parties reached a disagreement, it was resolved through dueling.

After signing, Lanling deeply bowed to the brothers of the Foreign Tribe Army and said, "Regardless of life or death, I will have no regrets fighting alongside my brothers!"

In an instant, tears nearly fell from the eyes of all the brothers of the Foreign Tribe Army.

They even regarded Lanling’s bow as a farewell to life!

At this moment, everyone in the Foreign Tribe Army despised Du Yan deeply and wholeheartedly supported Lanling!

Du Yan had become a murderer, a usurper!

...

At night, the little girl had already fallen asleep!

Lanling, Dina, and Suo Mo gathered to discuss.

"Ling, at what level of mastery do you think you need to be to defeat Du Yan in the duel?" Suo Mo asked.
