Chapter 52: Become Me, Surpass Me

[Page 1/3]
[You gaze calmly at the intruders, uttering not a single word of nonsense as you directly make your move against the Violent Wolf Guild.]
[The leader of the Violent Wolf Guild, possessing rich combat experience, instantly raises his staff the moment you move, channeling frost magic in an attempt to bind your movements.]
[Simultaneously, the other members of the Violent Wolf Guild launch a coordinated attack against you.]
[Yet, even as their attacks are just beginning to take form, your hand has already slapped heavily across their faces.]
[Blessed by your epic-tier gear, your fundamental stats completely overwhelm ordinary second-tier class holders.]
[Moreover, your class level is even higher than those in the Violent Wolf Guild, making dealing with them so simple that you don't even need to use skills.]
[Treating them all equally, you deliver a single slap to each of the five members of the Violent Wolf Guild, leaving them questioning the very meaning of their existence.]
[As for the boasting leader of the Violent Wolf Guild, you bestow upon him a generous two slaps.]
[Having knocked them unconscious, you immediately call out to Zhao Feng to step forward.]
[As a member of our Red Heart Guild, you need not live in fear!]
[These are your enemies; resolve them with your own hands!]
[You need not worry about any consequences. Whatever happens, I shall bear the responsibility entirely upon my shoulders!]
[This is the encampment rented by our Red Heart Guild. For the Violent Wolf Guild to kick down the door and force their way in is a direct violation of relevant federal laws.]
[Therefore, executing the members of the Violent Wolf Guild poses absolutely no problem whatsoever.]
[Looking at the unconscious members of the Violent Wolf Guild sprawled across the ground, Zhao Feng's eyes are filled with utter shock and surging excitement.]
[Heaven is merciful!]
[For several years, he had been suppressed and targeted by this damn Violent Wolf Guild, which resulted in his class level remaining stagnant without the slightest improvement for all that time.]
[There was no alternative; with his source of magic corrupted, the Violent Wolf Guild looked down upon him, while those who might have accepted him feared drawing the ire and targeting of the Violent Wolf Guild.]
[Consequently, the matter simply dragged on.]
[Lacking the support of an organized guild, he never dared to venture outside alone.]
[Within the safety zone, federal regulations could offer a modicum of protection, but if he were to step outside, wouldn't he be targeted and murdered on the spot by the Violent Wolf Guild?]
[After all, support class holders possess no combat capability; if they wish to elevate themselves, their only recourse is to join a systematic guild and leverage the power of a team to acquire spoils of war.]
[Joining the Red Heart Guild was merely one last desperate struggle after years of hardship.]
[Yet, the formidable strength of the Red Heart Guild and your fierce protectiveness have allowed him to witness true hope for his future.]
[After fully venting the long-pent-up negative emotions within his heart, Zhao Feng pledges his absolute loyalty to you.]
[Witnessing this scene, the other members of the guild feel their hearts surging with passionate emotion.]

[Putting oneself in their shoes, who wouldn't want to have a powerful superior who fiercely protects his subordinates?]
[Thus, following the minor interlude with the Violent Wolf Guild, various guild regulations—such as the Red Heart salute and the triumphant battle cry—are swiftly embraced by everyone.]
[Compared to the various vexing and obnoxious rules of other guilds, the requirements of the Red Heart Guild are practically a form of welfare!]
[Even the White Cloud Guild and the Wild Bear Guild, which had previously operated as independent factions, are deeply shocked by the rules of the Red Heart Guild.]
[For a guild striving to develop, why bother with salutes and slogans?]
[Are such trivialities of any use?]
[Shouldn't what truly determines whether a guild can walk a long-term path be the spoils-of-war distribution system?]
[However, given your overwhelming strength, it is naturally difficult for them to voice any objections.]
[You take note of everyone's inner thoughts, yet you remain entirely silent.]
[Under the baptism of time, the growing Red Heart Guild will use undeniable facts to shatter the psychological defenses of all doubters.]
[The next day, you begin breaking down and redistributing the other members within the guild.]
[Every first-tier combat class holder is assigned to lead a team into dungeons and misty wetlands for combat training.]
[Meanwhile, under your straightforward reorganization, the second-tier class holders are formed into a competent gold-farming team, setting out toward the wilderness to hunt down Abyss monsters above level 20.]
[If second-tier class holders wish to continue leveling up, they have no choice but to absorb high-grade divine blessing crystals.]
[Yet, high-grade divine blessing crystals cannot simply be purchased with money on the open market; such strategic resources circulate exclusively among various major factions.]
[At present, you stand essentially alone, lacking a powerful army beneath you to run errands back and forth.]
[Under these circumstances, heading out into the wilderness to slay Abyss monsters becomes your sole method for acquiring high-grade divine blessing crystals.]
[Fortunately, you are now sufficiently powerful that Abyss monsters below level 30 are no match for you even in a single exchange.]
[As a result, your yields are exceptionally bountiful.]
[Coupled with your amiable attitude and gentle demeanor, the second-tier class holders of the Red Heart Guild quickly pledge their allegiance.]
[In April of the 125th Transcendent Era, under your methodical arrangements, everyone in the Red Heart Guild reaps massive rewards.]
[Especially the high school seniors led by Lin Xue; they feel as though their experiences over this past month are straight out of a dream.]
[Were it not for the evolutionary euphoria brought by their rising class levels resounding deep within their souls, and were it not for the battles of the past month transforming their bodies from the inside out, they would genuinely believe they were living in a fantasy.]
[In today's world, such a wonderful guild actually exists?]
[Could the captain possibly be any better?]
[Amidst such unparalleled gratitude and reverence, they naturally and instinctively hope for the Red Heart Guild to grow even better, and for you to become even stronger.]

[Naturally, they find themselves instinctively obeying your every arrangement, including the speeches you deliver in the encampment each evening.]
[Especially when those impassioned cries of "Victory!" ring out at the conclusion of your speeches, their emotions boil over uncontrollably.]
[They feel they have found the ultimate destination for their life's ideals, firmly establishing the goal they wish to strive for throughout the rest of their lives.]
[As the beam of light that pierced into their world, you continuously guide them forward.]
[Naturally, they choose to follow the guidance of the light to define the deep aspirations welling up within their hearts.]
[To draw close to the light!]
[To approach the light!]
[To experience the light!]
[Yet, when you perceive their thoughts, you deliberately set aside time during a speech to refute this very perspective.]
[“You revere me, and you look up to me, and for that I am very glad.”]
[“You view me as the light, as the salvation of your dark lives, and I am deeply pleased.”]
[“Yet you ought not merely to approach me; fledgling eagles that endure no trials will never learn to soar.”]
[“I hope that someday in the future, you will become the practitioners of the Red Heart ideology.”]
[“At present, you are still very young, splendid as the newborn sun, with boundless prospects and a limitless future.”]
[“From this perspective, I would rather see you become me! To surpass me!”]
[“Only thus can you truly live up to the nurturing and cultivation of the Red Heart Guild.”]
[“Perhaps the present world is not so flawless and perfect.”]
[“Yet precisely because of this, the world requires us—those filled with the radiant ideals of hope—to strive, to fight, to resist, and to revolutionize!”]
[“The world demands our correction!”]
[“And we, in the process of correcting the world, shall grow ever stronger!”]
[As your voice fades away, you raise your right hand and execute a standard salute toward the sky.]
[“Red Heart!”]
[“Vic—tory!!”]
