Chapter 383: Hero: Lin Chong

“I can even swap your identity with his so that he will endure what you went through and you will enjoy his luxurious life. You can torture and humiliate him however you want to…”

Holy Fire surged in the Statue of Light as more messages were sent out.

Yet the mysterious hero seemed to have recalled something uncomfortable. He clenched his hands that had thick calluses because of years of weapon usage so hard that his fingers were pale!

“I can also…”

His two fists smashed the Statue of Light heavily.

“Nooooo!”

The Statue of Light, which seemed to be a combination of light and flames, instantly exploded into abundant Holy Fire.

As a transparent face that belonged to Fang La collapsed, the Holy Fire fell back to where the believers who had detonated themselves stood.

“The Holy Fire never dies, the light will exist forever!”

After that, the hundred Holy Fire believers were reborn in the fire.

Then, they fell on their knees and cheered zealously at the center of the altar!

White Holy Fire flew out of the center of the eyebrows of every believer, and it resurrected the Statue of Light in the old place.

Was it an infinite loop that couldn’t be broken?

Wait, on a closer look, it could be found that the regathered Statue of Light looked different from what it used to be just now.

It became a middle-aged man who was about 1.8 meters tall and had big eyes and a long beard, with a long snake spear that was ablaze in his hands!

“Is he Zhang Fei?”

One of the female players, with widened eyes, pointed at the hero whose face turned out to be the same as that on the new statue after the test battlefield disappeared.

However, the hero clearly couldn’t be Zhang Fei, who was 100% a Transcendent hero like Zhao Yun and Zhou Yu.

The mysterious Perfect hero was Lin Chong, who was known as the Young Zhang Fei in Water Margin.

[Lin Chong]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-9]

[Rarity: Commander]

[Description:

[Title: Heavenly Masculine Star.

[Nickname: Leopard Head.

[He’s one of the Five Tiger Generals of the cavalry on Liangshan and great with spear skills!]

“I’m here to wait for Gao Qiu!”

Lin Chong, after appearing on the Temple of Providence, didn’t seem as magnificent and glorious as his statue on the test battlefield.

Instead, he was dressed in a simple way. He looked weary and lonely and didn’t look like a revered officer in the army at all.

That was completely understandable, considering the time when the Water Margin arrived, Lin Chong had already been forced to go to Liangshan.

Undoubtedly, Lin Chong was the most tragic figure in Water Margin.

Gao Qiu’s son saw Lin Chong’s wife and was interested in her. Then, Gao Qiu asked Lu Qian, a friend he grew up with, to set a trap for him. He was put in jail. Fortunately, a righteous judge spoke for him and only sentenced him to a place far away.

Along the way, he was tortured by the soldiers that Lu Qian sent to escort him and almost killed in the Boar Forest. He managed to make it to his destination, but after only several days of peace, he was sent to watch over the fodder warehouse of the army.

Then, the fodder army was set on fire. Although Lin Chong survived the fire and killed his enemies, including Lu Qian, in a temple, he committed murder and couldn’t go back anymore. He could only go to Liangshan on a snowy night.

However, his life as a bandit wasn’t peaceful either.

Wang Lun, the previous boss of Liangshan, was worried about his position because Lin Chong was too strong and famous, so he purposefully gave Lin Chong a hard time.

Eventually, he was manipulated by Wu Yong to kill Wang Lun.

After he finally stabilized his position on Liangshan, he sent someone to the capital to fetch his wife.

However, he learned that, while he was away, his wife was forced to kill herself under the pressure of Gao Qiu’s son. Even his father-in-law, who had been taking care of him after his accident, had also died from fury.

His life was definitely more tragic than people like Jin Cuilian.

Also, the characters on the Land of Inheritance befitted most people’s impression of them.

In the original novel, Lin Chong had a stroke in the last battle against Fang La, and he died in the Liuhe Temple half a year later while Wu Song tended to him.

However, in the TV adaptations and some other versions, Lin Chong died vomiting blood in fury when Song Jiang was determined to surrender to the court and let go of his nemesis Gao Qiu who had already been caught.

In either case, Lin Chong’s life had been tragic from the beginning to the end. No wonder he could endure the pain of absorbing the Holy Fire Faith Crystal.

At the same time, Ji Ye, who was outside the Temple of Providence but could hear and see many things with True Seer, realized why Lin Chong never arrived at the Twin Dragon Mount even though Wu Song and Lu Zhishen, who were Lin Chong’s best friends, had arrived a long time ago, and the settlement had welcomed Perfect heroes more than once.

Lin Chong must be waiting for an opportunity to run into Gao Qiu!

Although the villains in the advancement test were Wang Qing, Fang La, and the other rebels, were they really the greatest villains in Water Margin in most people’s hearts?

Speaking of villains, most people’s first thought should be the Song court who attacked Liangshan again and again, or at least the Four Evil Ministers, namely Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Yang Jian, and Gao Qiu.

However, those four people weren’t fictional characters. They were quite infamous in the Northern Song Dynasty in real history.

According to the rules on the Land of Inheritance, they were likely Transcendent villains.

Therefore, they wouldn’t show up here this time!

However, the odds of him running into them after he arrived at the Twin Dragon Island were much higher than if he were to go to another settlement.

“Don’t worry, Chief Lin. If Gao Qiu does arrive at the Twin Dragon Mount, he won’t be able to go back.”

“You’ve just arrived here. You can use this spear first. After this battle, we’ll have Tang Long craft a tailor-made weapon for you.”

Ji Ye’s voice drifted into the Temple of Providence from the outside.

At the same time, a black spear was delivered in. It was the weapon of Li Tianrun, who was one of the Five Tigers in Fang La’s army!

[Shadow Spear]

[Level: Extraordinary Rank-8]

[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]

[Description: This is a spear that contains shadow abilities. It can destroy the target’s defense and create a shadow for remote attacks when its extraordinary power is activated.]

“Thank you, Master!”

He grabbed the black spear.

After hearing Ji Ye’s promise, Lin Chong’s eyes finally became energetic.

Perhaps because the offerings were all from Fang La’s subordinates, who were Liangshan’s enemies, the following two heroes that were summoned came from Liangshan too!

The first one was Ruan Xiaowu, who was Ruan Xiaoqi and Ruan Xiaoer’s brother.

The second one was Shi Qian, who ranked second to last among the 108 heroes of Liangshan but was even more famous than many Heavenly Stars!

The five stars that were summoned, especially the first three, undoubtedly increased the combat ability for the Twin Dragon Island.

All they had to do was to wait for the enemies to attack each other before they bared their fangs and swallowed all of them!
