Best Actor Indeed

"Brother Dustin, I didn't expect you to be so hidden that you could beat the masters of our Pantheon. It's really surprising."

Han Tian looked at Dustin deeply, then smiled and said: "In fact, this matter can't be blamed on you. If you want to blame someone, blame those two guys for not being as skilled as you. As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. It's normal for them to end up like this because of their lack of strength. I'm not visiting you tonight to ask for punishment."

"That's good, that's good."

Dustin breathed a sigh of relief and finally smiled: "Since Lord Han is not here to cause trouble, what advice do you have?"

"To be honest, Brother Dustin, your performance has attracted the attention of our Lord God King. Our Lord God King hopes that you can officially join the Pantheon and help us accomplish our great cause." Han Tian smiled and invited.

"Join the Pantheon?" Dustin was slightly startled, and said hesitantly: "Lord Han, this is not appropriate, right? I am just a wild man in the mountains, how can I be qualified to join the Pantheon?"

"Brother Dustin is too modest." Han Tian took a sip of the teacup, and then smiled: "A genius like you, we in the Pantheon can't wait to welcome you. I can guarantee that as long as you join the Pantheon, you will definitely be trained with emphasis, and you will have endless resources."

Members of the Pantheon are spread all over the world.

Apart from other things, money and resources are endless.

In this regard, no force can compare with the Pantheon.

So he came here tonight with full confidence.

"Lord Han, I appreciate your kindness, but I am used to freedom and don't like being constrained. I think it's better to forget it." Dustin shook his head and declined.

"Brother Dustin, don't rush to refuse."

Han Tian put down the teacup and said seriously: "I can promise you that as long as you join the Pantheon, I will never restrict your actions. On weekdays, you can do anything freely without reporting to me, and I will also provide you with the power and resources of the God Guard level."

"God Guard? Is it very powerful?" Dustin asked curiously.

"God Guard is a special position. In the words of your Dragonmarsh, it is the sect worship. The power is only one level lower than that of the God King. In the Pantheon, it is also a respected existence." Han Tian explained.

"It sounds good." Dustin nodded and smiled: "So what Han Tian means is that I don't have to do anything. As long as I join the Pantheon, I can get a lot of treasures and resources."

"You can understand it this way, but..." Han Tian suddenly changed the subject: "Although the God Guard is free and powerful, at critical moments, it still needs to do a little for the Pantheon, otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public."

The Pantheon doesn't keep idlers, and they want benefits and everything is good. How can such a good thing happen?

"What is the little thing that Lord Han said? Why not say it clearly?" Dustin remained calm.

He knew that Han Tian would get to the point next.

"Brother Dustin should know that after the end of this martial arts competition, our Pantheon will have an action. Just to be on the safe side, the target and time of this action have not been fully determined."

Han Tian continued to talk: "Before, I didn't know that Brother Dustin was so hidden and there were some shortcomings in the arrangement. If possible, I hope that you will lead the team this time. As long as you complete the task and make contributions, let alone the position of God Guard, even if you are allowed to be a Lord God, it is not a problem to be on an equal footing with me!"

"I didn't expect the Pantheon to attach so much importance to this action. What exactly do you want me to do?" Dustin asked tentatively.

"Brother Dustin, if you want to know the specific task, you have to take this first." Han Tian said, taking out a medicine bottle from his pocket and putting it on the table.

"This is..." Dustin was a little confused.

"Poison." Han Tian was very calm. Seeing Dustin frowning, he immediately added: "Brother Dustin, it's not that I don't trust you, but our Pantheon has its own rules. In order to avoid the leakage of secrets and the failure of the mission, everyone has to take poison, including me. There is no exception."

"So cruel?" Dustin frowned.

"Of course, Brother Dustin, don't worry. As long as you complete the mission, the Lord God will naturally give you the antidote." Han Tian smiled and comforted.

"What if I can't complete it?" Dustin suddenly asked back.

This simple sentence made Han Tian startled slightly, but he quickly recovered his smile and said: "Brother Dustin, don't worry. Our Pantheon has a very careful plan. As long as we act step by step, there will be no problem."

"Lord Han, although I am quite tempted by the conditions of the Pantheon, I am more concerned about my own safety. I will not let my life be in the hands of others, so I can only refuse your kindness." After a little thought, Dustin finally chose to shake his head.

He was not afraid of poison, but wanted to retreat in order to advance and win the trust of the Pantheon.

After all, normal people would most likely choose to retreat in the face of such conditions. If they were too eager to risk their lives, the Pantheon would definitely be suspicious, which would be bad.

As expected, after hearing this, Han Tian was not only not unhappy at all, but laughed even happier.

If Dustin agreed immediately, he would suspect that the other party had ulterior motives. Now, he trusted the other party even more. - Ton

Interception

Li Guanglong’s fingers gently stroked the ornate box, the chill of its silken surface seeping into his fingertips, yet it could not mask the damp sweat pooling in his palm. He glanced at Murong Xue, who was locked in a drinking contest with Batu. Murong was tilting back his head, draining a large bowl of amber-colored liquor. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, and in the corner of his eye he cast a fleeting glance toward the copper kettle in the corner of the igloo. That was where they had hidden the prepared knockout drug --- brewed from a poisonous herb of the icefields that gave off a sweet aroma. Once mixed into strong liquor, it was nearly impossible to detect. “Leader Batu truly has a mighty capacity for drink!” Murong Xue slammed his empty bowl down on the table, sending ice shards scattering. “This ‘ice-burn’ liquor cuts like a blade. Ordinary men collapse after three bowls, yet you remain unshaken. Truly worthy of being called the eagle of the snowfields!” Batu r...

Frozen Wasteland

The ice sculptures shimmered with a cold light in the biting wind, the soldiers’ twisted faces sealed inside the crystalized frost, as if still crying out from the agony of being frozen alive. Li Guanglong stared at those figures, his Adam’s apple rolling a few times as he forced down the tremor in his chest. He raised a hand to rub his still-stiff arm. The spot that had been swept by the white mist earlier was still faintly bruised with purplish-blue, the chill seeming to seep deep into his very bones. “Your Highness, that spirit deer carries a poisonous cold beyond imagination.” Wan Zhong leaned on his blade as he walked over, the wound on his lone arm having split open again from the cold. Blood seeped through the bandages, dripping scarlet dots onto the snow. He gazed toward where the deer had vanished, his eyes full of dread. “We’d best hold our camp steady for now, and not recklessly provoke the creatures of this island again.” Li Guanglong nodded silently. His earlier ...

Seeking Medicine for a Father

When Li Weimin’s decree was issued, reactions across the factions varied. At that moment, Li Wenxing was in his study, weighing the pros and cons of the recent trip to Southern Frontier. Although he hadn’t stood out much, compared to Li Guanglong and Li Juntang, he was still the more capable one. But this minor advantage clearly wasn’t enough to change the overall outcome. Just then, Qian Jin rushed in and reported, “Your Highness! A message from the palace --- His Majesty’s condition has worsened, and he has only a short time left. He has issued a special decree: any royal family member who can journey to Penglai Island and retrieve the elixir will become the future crown prince!” “Future crown prince?” Hearing this, Li Wenxing’s spirits lifted immediately. But soon after, he frowned. He had, of course, heard of Penglai Island --- but only in legends. Whether it truly existed in the East Sea, and whether it held any elixir that could extend life, remained unknown. ...
