Chapter 716: Smash It If You Want

In a mighty procession, the members of the Uprising Army followed behind their captain, their faces brimming with pride.

Once, they couldn't even catch the eye of other squads, but now they had transformed into members of the Uprising Army.

“We're going to turn in the mission. Our Uprising Army will be the first squad to complete a Heaven-grade mid-level mission. Aren't you proud?” Lin Fan, now also transformed, saw his status soar.

“Proud!” the Uprising Army members shouted.

For them, how could they not be proud? From being unwanted, they had transformed into members of the first squad to complete a Heaven-grade mid-level mission.

How much face would that bring if they told others?

They would defend the Uprising Army with their lives.

For Lin Fan, starting up was that simple. But the earlier 10,000 contribution points had stumped him. If not for his luck in encountering the Hundred Battles Squad, earning those 10,000 contribution points would have been no easy feat.

To earn a large amount of contribution points, one had to take on missions.

If fighting alone, one could only take small missions, which usually gave only a few dozen or a few hundred contribution points. Who knew how long it would take to earn 10,000?

The Sanctuary was vast, with a million people.

Compared to that million, the Uprising Army's numbers were but a drop in the ocean, negligible.

But when these people gathered together, they were a formidable sight. Some passersby looked puzzled, wondering what was going on.

Most beings still didn't know the origin of the Uprising Army or what had happened earlier.

Before long, Lin Fan and the others arrived at the mission submission point.

The mission submission point was also in a square.

“Miss, turning in a mission.”

“May I ask the squad name?”

“Uprising Army.” Lin Fan turned to look at the crowd, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

“Sorry, the Uprising Army hasn't accepted any mission,” said the girl at the mission counter.

“Captain, we need to accept the mission first before we can turn it in. We have to accept that Heaven-grade mid-level mission first,” Zhao Xiaomao said.

“Oh, I see.” Lin Fan felt a bit embarrassed; he had inadvertently lost face again.

Some people around who were also turning in missions couldn't help but laugh.

“What kind of squad is the Uprising Army? They don't even know the rules?”

“Who knows? Probably some no-name squad.”

“And they want a Heaven-grade mid-level mission? They don't know their place.”

…

These harsh words reached the ears of the Uprising Army members.

Venerable Shijia couldn't hold back and wanted to retort, but Lin Fan quickly pulled him back.

“Bald donkey, don't rush. Why waste such a good chance to slap their faces?” Lin Fan said.

Venerable Shijia pondered for a moment, then broke into a smile. “I am enlightened. Indeed, you are one step ahead, benefactor.”

For Venerable Shijia, showing off was more important than anything.

But what Lin Fan and Venerable Shijia hadn't expected was that the members couldn't hold back.

“Damn it, who the hell are you? How dare you insult our Uprising Army? Do you want to die?”

“Brothers, these guys are insulting our Uprising Army. Let's fight them!”

“That's right! We even dared to kick the Sovereign's balls. Are we afraid of you?”

…

Those who had mocked the Uprising Army were instantly dumbfounded. They hadn't expected the Uprising Army to be so domineering. They had only made a few jokes, but these guys were acting like they'd eaten gunpowder.

“Everyone, calm down. We must maintain decorum in public places,” Lin Fan said.

The angry Uprising Army members quieted down after hearing their captain's reprimand.

The bystanders nodded, thinking the captain at least seemed reasonable. But when they heard his next words, they nearly spat blood.

“If others insult us, it's because they have no taste. There's no need to argue with them. Later, we'll quietly slap their faces, right?”

“Right!” the Uprising Army members shouted in agreement.

“You… you!” The crowd stared at Lin Fan, their faces filled with rage, as if they were about to explode.

“You what? Is the Uprising Army someone you can mess with? If you keep blabbering, I'll make sure you come in standing and leave lying down,” Lin Fan said with a sidelong glance.

Now that he had a big family, he had the capital to be arrogant.

“Benefactor, decorum, decorum!” Venerable Shijia had just been thinking that Lin Fan's cultivation was truly high, but that thought hadn't even formed before Lin Fan's words shattered it.

Decorum, my ass! This was even more excessive!

“Hmph, I'd like to see who wants to make my men leave lying down.” Just then, an angry voice came from the side.

“Captain!” The man who had been threatened by Lin Fan lit up when he saw the newcomer, then pointed at Lin Fan. “Captain, it's him. A guy who doesn't know the rules here, and he even said he'd take a Heaven-grade mid-level mission. He doesn't know his place.”

“That's the captain of the Mad Dragon Squad, Nie Mad Dragon.”

“The Uprising Army is in for it. Nie Mad Dragon is known for being domineering. Anyone who crosses him will have a hard time.”

The onlookers whispered among themselves.

“It was me.” Lin Fan didn't rush to accept the mission; instead, he smiled playfully.

“Kid, you're pretty cocky. This is the Sanctuary, not a place for riffraff like you to act wild.”

Thud!

Just then, a shoe flew out and smacked Nie Mad Dragon.

“Who was that? Step forward!” Nie Mad Dragon caught the shoe, his face burning with anger. He hadn't expected anyone to dare act out in front of him.

“It was us. What about it?” In an instant, the Uprising Army members all stepped forward.

“How dare you! Do you have the guts to throw again?” Nie Mad Dragon was furious.

“Smash it if you want. Think we're scared of you?”

Whoosh!

In that instant, the Uprising Army members took off their shoes and hurled them at Nie Mad Dragon.

For the Uprising Army members, they remembered their captain's teachings.

Now we're one big family—share joys and sorrows, fight together. Who's afraid of whom?

Even the Thunder Sovereign wasn't a match for our captain, so what's there to fear?

“Fine, fine. The Sanctuary forbids private fights, but as long as we don't use magic power, it's okay. You have numbers, huh? Fine. Just wait for me.” Nie Mad Dragon snorted at them, then turned and left.

“Captain, we're going to fight later. The Sanctuary forbids private fights, but if squads have a conflict, they can settle it with fists, just no magic power. Nie Mad Dragon must be going to call for backup,” Zhao Xiaomao said.

“Oh, I see.” Lin Fan smiled. He hadn't expected the Sanctuary to have such a rule.

It meant no one could use magic power—just fists and flesh, relying on one's martial arts cultivation.

But no rush. First, turn in the mission. Then we'll have a good brawl with them later.
