After entering, the young man just stood there simply, yet everyone in the restaurant felt a chill, as if an extraordinary sword was slightly drawn out of its sheath, exuding infinite coldness and sharpness.

  Some people with weak wills immediately felt their heartstrings tremble and involuntarily looked away.

  Although the young man didn't wear an apostle's badge on his chest and there wasn't a so-called genius student following him humbly, everyone had a feeling that he was more like an apostle than Wolf.

  No one dared to doubt his identity, and Wolf's silence further confirmed this.

  "Chen Yue." Wolf's eyes narrowed slightly as he said coldly.

  The person who came was indeed Chen Yue.

  Originally, he should have arrived earlier, but because he didn't know the way and took quite a few detours, he was a bit slower than Wolf and others. And precisely because of this, he had witnessed an interesting scene.

  At that time, the hall was silent. Everyone was shocked by Wolf's attempt to recruit a follower. Only a few of them had spoken. With Chen Yue's greatly improved hearing after the first transformation, although he was quite far away, it wasn't difficult for him to hear everything clearly.

  Seeing Wolf having improper thoughts about the Ling sisters, his first reaction was anger, and he rushed over quickly. However, gradually, he calmed down.

  Looking indifferently at the high-spirited Wolf in the restaurant, some past events came to his mind. While murderous intent filled his heart, a plan took shape in Chen Yue's mind. It was only then that he walked into the brightly lit area.

  First, he didn't hide his sarcasm in his words. Then, he emitted some of the imposing manner that had been tempered through countless hardships in the purgatory-like scenarios, immediately creating an aggressive situation and suppressing Wolf's momentum firmly.

  "Wolf, not only have we apostles lost face, but even Mentor Venia will be shamed because of your shameless act." Looking at Wolf with disdain, the corners of Chen Yue's mouth curved slightly.

  This Wolf was the apostle Chen Yue had met when he registered at the Apostle Association. He was also a disciple under Venia and the top student among the first-rank apostles. Of course, in the eyes of most people now, the position of this top student should be replaced.

  "My affairs are none of your business." There was no trace of the arrogance he had just shown between his eyebrows. Wolf growled in a somewhat ferocious low voice.

  Somehow, since Chen Yue came in, he had felt a sense of being suppressed. The Chen Yue in front of him seemed to be a whole head taller than him, looking down at him. He knew it was an illusion, but undoubtedly, this illusion made him extremely uncomfortable. Coupled with Chen Yue's merciless sarcasm, his emotions began to get out of control.

  "Hehe, others say that you are the most outstanding disciple under Mentor Venia. But look at what you've brought us. You've been completely defeated by West in competitions and trials, big and small, for five consecutive years. Is this your contribution?" Chen Yue further provoked him: "And I defeated Kina within ten seconds as soon as I came, and even made West dare not take revenge. Can you do these things?"

  "What you've brought is only humiliation."

  "Only I can bring supreme glory."

  ...

  Each sentence was like a swinging thorn, lashing Wolf's pride until it was bruised all over. However, these were indisputable facts, leaving him no room for rebuttal. His face just became uglier and uglier, and his originally sunny and handsome face was slightly distorted.

  If it were at an ordinary time, Wolf might have been able to sense something was wrong. However, just after being frustrated by Ling Zhu'er and having his proud mentality hit, he encountered Chen Yue's powerful appearance. The contrast before and after caused an imbalance in his emotions. Moreover, Chen Yue kept provoking his nerves, making it impossible for him to think rationally, which led to the current situation.

  "Enough." Wolf suddenly shouted loudly. There were some bloodshot eyes in his eyes. Obviously, he had been driven to the verge of collapse by Chen Yue's words. Judging from his expression, he was almost unable to control himself.

  However, almost didn't count.

  Sighing inwardly, Chen Yue knew that the sarcasm in words had reached its limit at this point. To drive Wolf completely out of control, he needed to find another way.

  At other times, it might have all been in vain.

  Fortunately, another way was right in front of him.

  Ignoring Wolf, whose eyes were spitting fire, Chen Yue turned his head and said to Ling Zhu'er, who had been stunned for a long time, "Miss Ling Zhu'er, I have a wish and hope you can agree to it."

  At this time, the people in the hall had a feeling of waking up from a dream. This apostle named Chen Yue had emitted an intimidating aura as soon as he came in, and then he had continuously humiliated Wolf with words. Such a strange scene immediately made everyone unable to react.

  And when they reacted, they heard such a familiar sentence from Chen Yue's mouth. Their astonishment could be said to have reached its peak. Could it be that this apostle also wanted to...

  Sure enough, Chen Yue slowly said out their speculation: "I hope to invite you to become my follower."

  At this moment, intense jealousy burned in everyone's eyes as they stared at Ling Zhu'er fixedly. Even Omar was no exception.

  What on earth did this girl have that she could be favored by two apostles at the same time and receive invitations one after another? And it seemed that the conflict between the two seemed to have formed because they wanted to compete for her.

  Ling Zhu'er had a feeling of being both amused and helpless. Becoming the envy of others didn't make her feel the slightest bit of joy. She also couldn't see Chen Yue's purpose clearly. She just thought that Chen Yue was trying to stand up for Ling Yue'er and didn't mind falling out with Wolf.

  Thinking like this, her first impression of Chen Yue improved a lot. And when Chen Yue glanced at her, his gaze was like looking at an ordinary person, without lingering at all. While this made her breathe a sigh of relief, she also felt a bit unconvinced. Her mood was extremely contradictory.

  Naturally, Chen Yue didn't know Ling Zhu'er's complicated thoughts. Seeing that she didn't respond, he immediately winked at Ling Yue'er beside her.

  Unlike others, Ling Yue'er's eyes had been fixed on Chen Yue since he came in and hadn't left for a moment. However, Chen Yue hadn't looked at her all this time, which made her disappointed and a bit uneasy at the same time.

  "Has Brother Chen Yue changed?" The girl's heart was full of uneasiness. However, Chen Yue's wink immediately dispelled the girl's doubts. Chen Yue's look at her was still as gentle as before, without any change.

  With the biggest worry gone, the girl's mind immediately became active and she instantly understood Chen Yue's intention.

  "Sister." She gently pulled Ling Zhu'er's little hand. This time, the purpose was completely different from the last time. Ling Yue'er wanted Ling Zhu'er to agree.

  In the hall, everyone was looking at Ling Zhu'er, waiting for her answer. Even Wolf was no exception.

  She refused last time. So, what about this time?

  "Alright, I'll play along with him this time." Looking at her sister, who was full of eagerness on her face, Ling Zhu'er first bowed to Chen Yue and then said respectfully, "It's my great honor to be able to become Lord Chen Yue's follower."

  As soon as these words came out, the hearts of many people in the hall who had been expecting her to refuse were broken. She had actually grasped this opportunity...

  "Haha, it's also my honor." With a faint smile on his lips, Chen Yue glanced at the distraught Wolf. Ling Zhu'er's decision undoubtedly dealt him a heavy blow. He looked up blankly and happened to meet Chen Yue's gaze.

  How sarcastic that gaze was!

  It was also a sudden invitation, but you failed while I succeeded.

  What did this mean? It meant that in her eyes, you were worthless. Your so-called apostle identity and all your pride were just jokes.

  From Chen Yue's eyes, Wolf seemed to read these meanings.

  This one look immediately made his spirit collapse.

  What followed was a suffocating sense of humiliation.

  "A duel! I must kill you, Chen Yue. It's a fight to the death!" Having completely lost his reason, Wolf roared angrily. At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind, which was to kill Chen Yue and use his blood to wash away the humiliation that Chen Yue had imposed on him.

  As soon as Wolf's somewhat crazy words came out, those who heard them were stunned. For the first time, they felt that the situation was getting out of control.

  Chen Yue's expression was calm and composed, as if the duel request put forward by Wolf was just an ordinary sparring.

  "A duel? Okay, I agree."

  He solemnly took out his apostle's badge, bit his index finger, and dropped a drop of blood right in the center of the badge, with an extremely solemn expression.

  "In the name of Chen Yue, a first-rank apostle, this battle is to the death."

  The same scene happened on Wolf's side. He impatiently tore off his badge and dropped his own blood on it.

  "In the name of Wolf, a first-rank apostle, this battle is to the death."

  Somehow, two blood-colored rays of light suddenly flew out from the apostle's badges, merged together, and condensed into a blood-stained pattern of a sword and a knife above them, making people feel a chill all over their bodies just by looking at it.

  At this moment, Chen Yue really breathed a sigh of relief, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

  After spending a lot of thought and using many means to break Wolf's reason, he had finally forced him to this step.

  When witnessing everything in the restaurant, Chen Yue had already formed a plan in his mind with the goal of killing Wolf. His purpose was naturally not as simple as just standing up for the Ling sisters.

  Wolf was the top student among the first-rank apostles. Among those first-rank apostles who were unconvinced by Chen Yue, he was the leader. If Chen Yue could defeat him, it would surely have a deterrent effect, truly establishing his position as invincible among the first-rank apostles. Presumably, no one would question him anymore, which also conformed to his principle of getting things done once and for all and not wanting to cause more troubles.

  However, that effect could have been achieved with an ordinary duel.

  But now, the duel that Chen Yue and Wolf had agreed upon was a duel to the death.

  To the death!
