The Adventures Of The Young Master

Chapter 882 Old Man Lincon

"You aren't selling anything, but your store is open?" Jin Rou smiled. He helped himself and took a seat, "Let me see the menu. I want to order something, I'm hungry."

"Young Lad, did you not hear me?" The old man scratched his belly, "We don't sell anything. Please help yourself out."

The old man was always like this. He turned down customers despite his store being open. His customers were usually high ranking existences but he had the audacity to turn them down. Is he not afraid of lightning striking him here?

But the truth was, the old man was extraordinary that even Immortal Vajras and Era Emperors had to go out with respect. As for Epoch Saints? They didn't usually go to this kind of place.

"Old Lincon, your attitude is rude as still. Also, you're still blind as hell." Jin Rou smirked. He showed his palm and symbols started appearing out of it.

The old man named Lincon almost stood up from fright but he immediately calmed himself down, "I didn't expect that you will pay me a visit again. I thought you already died."

The old man showed interest.

"How can I? That old man up there in the Central God must die first before me." Jin Rou laughed, "You are still scrawny and disgusting as ever. It's been how many years passed now, yet you didn't change."

"There is no reason to change, no?" Old Man Lincon said, "I will just rot here, so why bother changing? Here is the menu."

After handing over the menu, Old Man Lincon said, "It's better just to stay this way."

"My offer still stands as of today, Old Man." Jin Rou said, "You have the choice, of course."

In the past, Han Li offered the old man something that would surely trigger his interest. Unfortunately, the latter turned it down after some pondering.

"My choice will also be the same." Old Man Lincon answered, "It's useless trying to make me change my mind. Freedom is not what I seek. I have grown old and I will die with this store."

"I'm aware. But don't you want to see what it's like outside of this store?" Jin Rou asked, "Mortalis is not big enough to handle your power, though."

"You just want me to become your errand boy." Old Man Lincon sneered.

"Errand Old Man, not boy. You think you're still of hot age?" Jin Rou corrected, "Of course, nothing is free in this world. If you want something, you have to give something equivalent in return."

"With my old bones, what can I do aside from making the world into a pool of blood?" Old Man Lincon sighed, "I have grown tired of it and I don't want any part in your grudge against that existence."

"Are you cowering?" Jin Rou smiled, "This will be my last chance to defeat him once and for all. And also, this will be the last time my offer stands."

Jin Rou would return to his own universe and leave this one. The name Han Li would soon disappear and only live in the official records of the worlds.

"Cowering? That old bastard even has to be cautious in front of me in my full power." Old Man Lincon sneered. Though he couldn't defeat that existence, his full strength was enough to make him fall back a few steps.

"Then hop on the board. Your strength will add up my chances of winning this war." Jin Rou said, "After this, you can do whatever you want. You're free."

"You're really insane." Old Man Lincon had to give it to Jin Rou, "You've failed 8 times and each time, you almost died. Yet you still want to go for the 9th? I never encountered a person such as you in my entire life."

Many tried to challenge that existence in the past. But all eventually failed. Moreover, most of them suffer many tribulations leading to total annihilation of their sects and clans. That existence was petty and would pay even the smallest grudge a hundred fold.

"Because I am me and those you encountered are them." Jin Rou said, "There's a distinguished separation between me and them, so you cannot compare me to those folks. They eventually gave up and ran away for their lives, but me? I keep choosing to go forward."

Han Li failed eight times but he didn't lose hope. He kept on persevering until his last breath. Despite encountering so many helpless situations, he emerged as the victor and kept going on. He never turned back and focused his sight forward.

The old man turned silent after hearing this. A long time of silence emerged.

After a long while, Old Man Lincon decided to break the ice, "How certain of you winning this?"

"As of now, I have yet to get the final items I needed. So, 20%. If I have those, it might rise to 25%. And if I add up your strength, that should be 28%." Jin Rou was speaking with the truth. However, he hid the fact that it was only the chances of him winning if he was talking about Han Li's capabilities.

But what if he added up his own? Only Jin Rou knew.

"25%-28%is not bad." The old man sighed, "The Yu Clan didn't even have that much fighting chance during the recent challenge."

"The Yu Clan challenged him?" Jin Rou revealed a surprised expression. They were a bunch of cautious people. Why would they suddenly go straight to the pit of hell?

The Yu Clan was a superpower in the Central God Region, take note. They had trillions worth of history starting from their Yu Progenitor. They even created several Epoch Saints in the past. But, this was not enough to challenge that existence.

"Yes. I don't know the exact details about it, but they suddenly declared that they would challenge that old bastard. It's out of nowhere, thus it caught the people off guard." Old Man Lincon said with a heavy expression.
