Chapter 713: The Rebel Army Is Founded

At this moment, Lin Fan was the focus, the center of all attention.

"Lin Fan, you will die a miserable death, a miserable death!" Thunder Sovereign roared in fury.

Thunder Sovereign was utterly enraged now. He had never imagined that he would be suppressed by a creature, stripped of all his power, and reduced to a useless wreck.

"Monk, give him two slaps to shut him up." Lin Fan stood tall, his aura prominent, showing no trace of fear even under the gaze of the crowd.

Slap! Slap!

Thunder Sovereign, now completely powerless, could not withstand the two slaps; his face immediately swelled up.

"Thunder Sovereign has been suppressed? That's unbelievable."

"Yeah, it's terrifying."

"Big news, big news! Thunder Sovereign has been suppressed!"

"That Buddhist is too domineering. That's Thunder Sovereign we're talking about."

"Just watching this makes me scared."

…

The crowd stared unblinkingly, shocked by the scene before them. To them, everything seemed so unreal, so false.

Soon, Lin Fan arrived at the place he had come to earlier.

"Sis, big brother is here again. Here's ten thousand contribution points. Can I form a team now?" Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Yes, you can. I didn't expect big brother to earn ten thousand contribution points so quickly. Amazing!" the cute girl said.

"Of course," Lin Fan chuckled lightly.

At this moment, Lin Fan was already surrounded by a crowd, all staring at him with gleaming eyes. They were beings who wanted to join Lin Fan's team.

To them, Lin Fan was incredibly strong. If they could join his team, it would be wonderful.

"Team formation approved. Please name the team." The girl smiled.

"A name?" Lin Fan pondered. The team name had to be imposing.

Lin Fan Squad? Great Emperor Squad? Human Squad?

…

Various names flashed through Lin Fan's mind, but in the end, none of them seemed imposing enough.

"Sis, does it have to include the word 'squad'?"

"No."

"Alright then, call it the Rebel Army." Lin Fan immediately decided on this meaningful name.

"Rebel Army?"

Hearing the name, the crowd was puzzled, unsure of its meaning.

In their view, such a powerful being should have chosen a team name that was especially domineering, like...

Sky-Slashing, Sun-Fucking, Sky-Breaking, Sky-Poking, and so on. But they never expected "Rebel Army."

"Okay, now please construct the team emblem image using your power." The cute girl said.

"No problem." Lin Fan didn't hesitate. The team emblem had to be imposing, and what was the most imposing? Naturally, Lin Fan himself.

Soon, Lin Fan constructed his own likeness.

"Imposing and handsome."

"This is the most imposing emblem I've seen since entering the Guardian Land."

"Yeah, if I could have such an emblem, I'd die without regrets."

The crowd immediately began flattering him endlessly.

Lin Fan nodded in satisfaction at the praise. It seemed there were still people who recognized quality.

After forming the team, the ten thousand contribution points belonged to someone else, but that didn't matter to Lin Fan.

This place was for forming teams, while the Heaven-grade mid-level mission of Thunder Sovereign had to be turned in elsewhere.

"Ding, congratulations on forming the first team."

"Ding, team name: Rebel Army."

"Ding, team BUFF activated."

"BUFF: Leader Aura, Unity Aura."

At this moment, Lin Fan was somewhat stunned. He hadn't expected the system to chime in when he formed the team.

Not bad, not bad. It seemed the system recognized it.

After forming the team, Lin Fan, surrounded by the crowd, left the place and went outside.

"Benefactor, is the team formed?" Shakyamuni Venerable asked curiously, holding Thunder Sovereign.

"Yes, it's done." Lin Fan smiled.

"Monk, want to join the team?" Lin Fan asked.

"Benefactor, need I say more? Of course I'll join." Shakyamuni Venerable quickly replied.

"Ding, congratulations on adding a new member."

"Vice-captain: Shakyamuni Venerable. Cultivation: Divine Heaven Stage Seventh Layer. Loyalty: 100 (full marks)."

Lin Fan was taken aback. He hadn't expected the system's new feature to be so impressive, including a loyalty stat. But it was good, saving trouble later.

Now, Lin Fan looked around at the crowd, took a deep breath, and shouted loudly, "Today, the team Rebel Army is officially established!"

Clap! Clap! Clap!

In an instant, thunderous applause erupted. Countless people scrambled to join the "Rebel Army."

They stared at Lin Fan, who stood on high, with longing eyes.

"May I ask, when will the Rebel Army recruit?"

"May I ask, are there any requirements for joining the Rebel Army?"

At that moment, voices came from the crowd. This was what they cared about most.

Lin Fan looked at the dense crowd, a smile curling at the corner of his mouth. Then he waved his arms and said, "My Rebel Army recruits without regard for cultivation, appearance, gender, age, or weakness. Therefore, the Rebel Army is now officially recruiting. Those who wish to join can sign up now."

"Ah..."

"I want to join!"

"I want to join the Rebel Army!"

"Me too!"

At this moment, the scene went wild. They hadn't expected the Rebel Army to have no requirements at all. To them, this was utterly astonishing.

"Don't rush, take it slow..." Lin Fan waved his hand, releasing a powerful aura that silenced everyone present.

"Ding, new member recruited."

"Ding, new member recruited."

…

Now, the crowd surged. A large number of beings joined Lin Fan's Rebel Army.

These beings were all teamless, overlooked by other teams.

Soon, Lin Fan found that he had recruited a hundred people.

However, these hundred people were generally at the Divine Heaven Stage Fourth or Fifth Layer, and their loyalty was generally low, around fifty.

"Anyone else want to join the team?" Lin Fan looked at the scene. For a moment, no one spoke.

It seemed that the remaining teamless people were waiting. After all, Lin Fan's team had just been formed. Although Lin Fan had suppressed Thunder Sovereign, to some, the Rebel Army still lacked influence.

Meanwhile, members of other teams were watching from the sidelines.

"Alright, since no one else is joining, let me, the captain, say a few words. Team emblems will be distributed shortly." Lin Fan announced loudly.

The members who had joined the "Rebel Army" looked up at Lin Fan. Though their hearts were excited, they were more seeking a refuge. They were not yet fully supportive or devoted to Lin Fan.

"Everyone, quiet down. I, Lin Fan, am of the human race. I ascended from the lower realm, fought across various lands, and slaughtered countless ancient clans. Now, arriving in the Guardian Land and meeting you all, a voice in my heart told me I should form a team to work with everyone and create a future together. So I want to ask you all: do you know why I named the team the Rebel Army?"

The crowd exchanged glances. They really didn't know, and they shook their heads one by one.

Lin Fan looked at the crowd. "It means to stand up, to be filled with courage, to uphold righteousness, to overthrow the brutal ancient clans, and to resist their tyranny."

"Think about it: countless beings of the myriad races are barely surviving, oppressed by the ancient clans, waiting for hope."

"Think about it: if one day, your wife, your children, while walking in the Ancient Saint Realm, are seized by the ancient clans, violated, abused, defiled—can you bear it? Tell me, Captain, can you bear it?" Lin Fan roared.

"No!"

"Think about it: you're sitting under the moonlight whispering sweet nothings with your beloved. Just when your feelings are deepest, an ancient clan jumps out, snatches your lover, snatches your wife, destroys your beautiful life—can you bear it?"

"No!"

At this moment, the beings who had joined the Rebel Army gradually had their inner discontent stirred by Lin Fan's words, and they roared out in fury.

"We want to rebel! We want freedom! We want love! We want to protect our wives! We want to defend our dignity!" Lin Fan raised his arm and shouted.

The crowd's hearts were now ignited by Lin Fan's speech, and they shouted along.

"You girls over there, raise your hands and shout: We want to take back our men!" Lin Fan pointed to a group of girls in the distance.

And those girls, their hearts surging, shouted, "We want to take back our men!"

"That's right, everyone remember: our Rebel Army fights for freedom, for love, for dignity!" Lin Fan shouted.

In an instant, Lin Fan saw the loyalty of team members rising sharply.

"Follow your captain toward a beautiful life!" Lin Fan shouted.

"Follow the captain! The captain leads us to the future!"

…

"We want to join the Rebel Army too! We want to go toward a beautiful future!"

At this moment, the teamless beings watching from the sidelines were also stirred by Lin Fan's words and wanted to join the Rebel Army.

"Alright, don't rush. One by one. The principle of our Rebel Army is mutual love, no abandonment, no giving up. Join the Rebel Army, and we are one family. Share blessings, share hardships. Fight for freedom, for dignity!" Lin Fan shouted.

"Long live the captain!"

"We want to join the Rebel Army!"

…

With his silver tongue, Lin Fan spent a good while brainwashing the crowd, and the results were excellent.

"Alright, now that the Rebel Army is established, we will hold the initiation ceremony. Everyone, look at this guy. He is the ancient clan's Thunder Sovereign, but he has been suppressed by your captain, his cultivation completely废. Now, anyone who wants to join the Rebel Army, come before him and kick him in the crotch. Let him know that our girls are not to be trifled with!" Lin Fan shouted.

To everyone, they knew the ancient clans were extremely vicious. Especially when girls were caught by the ancient clans, they were almost always violated and then eaten. This was a permanent pain for many beings of the myriad races.

"The captain is mighty!"

"The captain is number one!"

"Our girls are not to be trifled with!"

The crowd shouted.

Lin Fan looked at the heated atmosphere and was satisfied. Finally, he roared loudly.

"Kick his balls!"
