Chapter 474: The Predestined Champion of the Glory Festival
Lin Yu had already left the venue of the Glory Festival when it was halfway through—as the "predetermined champion".
Jiang Rong seemed to be worried that such a proposal would be too insulting to the old antique Rakshasa who had just returned to the Black Swamp from the imprisonment of the gods, and he added a sentence.
"If you think that doing so deprives you of the joy of fighting, as a former champion, I can have a good fight with you."
According to Lin Yu's character setting, he should have agreed.
But he didn't.
The reason is also easy to understand.
He really couldn't beat him.

Although he survived the life-and-death struggle with Er Er, he at least won a positive victory.
Er Er was beaten to the point of being deleted from the player group and forced to transform into a nightmare. How could Lin Yu not pay a price?
The corrosion damage caused by the remains of the goat demon alone has greatly reduced Lin Yu's combat effectiveness.
Although Lin Yu's body was not harmed, the reduction in combat effectiveness is real.
Although Lin Yu's body now has a very strong physique, it is relatively insignificant compared to the power brought by this "real" Rakshasa body.
Moreover, although Lin Yu's body was not injured, it was also consumed.
Manipulating the [Prayer for Water Necklace] to control water with high intensity consumed Lin Yu's mind.
As the biggest contributor to the battle against twenty, Hannah was exhausted and confused at this moment.
Therefore, Lin Yu had no confidence in fighting with an NPC who looked very capable and might be the first-tier combat power in the Black Swamp Realm.
Even if he could really win a narrow victory over Jiang Rong, it would be better not to fight.
As long as he didn't fight, Lin Yu wouldn't be exposed.
Not only did he not expose himself, but in the minds of these guys in the Black Swamp Realm, his strength would still have no clear upper limit.
The more mysterious, the stronger.
Lin Yu is well aware of this.
However, the reason Lin Yu chose for rejection is not forced and will not destroy the character.
Although "injured" and "poor condition" seem to be reasonable reasons, Lin Yu knows deeply that this excuse is not feasible in the Black Swamp Realm.
After all, for these reckless people in the Black Swamp Realm, especially the fighting maniacs of the Blood Country, as long as they can still move, it is impossible to refuse the battle that is offered to them.
As the saying goes, a lightly injured person will not leave the front line!
Lin Yu has always shaped Luosha in this direction.
Therefore, using this seemingly "reasonable" reason will instead make people suspicious.
"We've had enough fun today. There will be fewer fights like this, and you probably haven't reached your peak yet..."
"I don't see any room for improvement for now, but you are different... I'll wait until you take another step forward, and then I'll fight you again."
"If you fight me now, I'm afraid that even if you make progress, you will be unconsciously influenced by me and get stained with my color."
Lin Yu rejected Jiang Rong calmly.
The reason sounds almost arrogant, but it sounds reasonable and non-hostile to Jiang Rong.
In the Black Swamp Realm, this is sincerity, frankness and friendliness.
What's more, Lin Yu is right!
"You really have a good eye. I have indeed had some insights recently, and I am still digesting and accumulating...I do have a hunch that I seem to be about to break through."
"This is also the reason why I want to fight you-I do have the idea of breaking through in one fell swoop by taking the opportunity to fight with the 'mysterious strong man from ten thousand years ago'."
After such a simple negotiation between the two, there is no need to fight anymore.
Jiang Rong brought Lin Yu to the edge of the venue, used a prop that looked like an iron thorn flower to open the surrounding barriers, and sent him out.
"Okay, Luosha, or...Moruo," Jiang Rong said, "unless there is any change in the venue, you will be the champion of this Glory Festival."
"It doesn't matter. If you can really see that there are still people who are stronger than me under the newly added rules, I am willing to give up the championship," Lin Yu said lightly, "I will follow the rules-after all, the temporary supplements and additional clauses you have added are already very favorable to me."
Jiang Rong nodded: "I don't think so, unless someone collects all the remaining spoils by himself next time...I am afraid that he can match your performance just now."
The two looked at each other across the thorns.
"In short, although the championship is definitely yours, as you said, for the fairness of the rules and the ranking of other players from the second to the last place, I will double my inspection next time," Jiang Rong said with a headache, "It seems that Feng Qiao may have to be called in as well."
"After all, there is no movement from Shuo..."
He glanced at Lin Yu.
Lin Yu smiled: "It seems that you have heard the rumors."
"Yes, there are rumors that you killed the notary who is responsible for guarding the healing place this time, 'Shuo'," Jiang Rong thought about it and decided to show his cards, "But... According to witchcraft calculations, Shuo is actually still alive."
"The ten major tribes mean that since you are a real Rakshasa, Shuo is a very rare monster, but it is not that important and can be put aside for the time being..."
"But since you took the initiative to mention it, I'd better ask by the way, just to satisfy my personal curiosity..."
"How is Shuo?"
Lin Yu did not hide it: "I let it run away. It should be hiding somewhere in the venue."
As for the motive, Lin Yu certainly could not say that he intended to use Shuo to set up a scam.
But he had already thought of an excuse.
"The spirits are almost as ancient as us. In the era of Rakshasa, we would live in harmony with the spirits," Lin Yu sighed softly, "Although I know that times have changed and I shouldn't care about these, but since it asked me for help, it is difficult for me to sit back and watch."
"Anyway, I originally planned to become famous in this glory festival and regain the glory that belongs to Rakshasa," Lin Yu paused, "Then I simply helped it."
"Of course, if you continue to catch it back, I won't help it anymore next time."
"It is hiding in this venue-after all, the glory festival has not ended yet, and it should not have left yet."
Lin Yu said, and Jiang Rong nodded again.
"I see. Thank you very much!"
"I will try to find Shuo," Jiang Rong paused, "although it does not belong to our tribe."
"Anyway, before the Glory Festival officially ends, you can go to the gentle slope over there - there are tents of the ten major tribes."
"The representatives of the ten major tribes who come to watch the game also have the means to understand the progress of the Glory Festival in real time."
"They welcome it very much... No, they even actively invite you to go to the tent and watch the rest of the Glory Festival with them."
