"Philip, let's get this straight—if Logan can't handle these tough soldiers, you owe me ten Dragon Pattern Stone tiles. I've been gaining a bit of weight lately, and my armor needs a new one," Darwin said with a smug look, clearly confident he had this in the bag.

In fact, over the past three days, General Philip had dug up almost everything he could find about Logan.

He knew about Logan's performance in the internal war of the Genius Training Camp, and he had heard all the rumors from different sources.

Even though Logan, at just Master 1-star level, had once single-handedly taken down eight Blood Cultivation Realms, General Darwin didn't think Logan had that kind of power.

According to the latest simulation from the Military Committee's Tactical Research Center, Logan and Bell must have had some secret plan to achieve such a perfect record in the beast tide.

And that secret was probably that Logan had already made a deal with Bell Major before the battle.

Bell Major and his friends had lost their familiar rights by the Federation, so they couldn't fight at their full strength.

So Logan secretly took them—these so-called "death row prisoners"—into eight Blood Cultivation Realms.

They helped Logan steal resources from the realms, while also finding good familiars to sign with and regain their power.

By the time the million-beast tide came, Bell Major and his team were almost back to 80% of their best strength.

That was a group of eight majors, dozens of colonels, and many high-ranking officers—top-tier warriors who could shake up any battlefield.

Only such a team could have tricked the commander behind the beast tide twice, and triggered two [The Death God of Love] attacks.

General Philip listened as Darwin explained things beside him, and he took several big sips of tea to hold back his laughter.

"You old man, your imagination is way too wild," Philip said, giving Darwin a sidelong glance. "So, according to you, Logan has been just wasting time all along?"

"What else could it be? If he really got involved in the battle, he probably would've died too," Darwin said, his face showing a hint of sadness. He still felt deeply for Bell's death.

Seeing this, Philip didn't explain. Instead, he just smiled and grabbed a bag of chips, taking a bite. "Well, go ahead and watch. Logan is nothing like what you imagine."

On the other side,

Logan stared at the three colonels in front of him, his eyes cold. "So, according to you, whoever has the strongest fist, you follow them?"

The three of them responded in unison, "Exactly!"

Logan heard their confident answers, and his eyes scanned them before landing on the one thousand soldiers behind them. He shouted, "What about you all? Do you believe that too?"

The soldiers looked at each other, unsure how to answer.

Then, a soldier stepped forward and raised his hand. "Report! Bell Major once said that soldiers must obey orders. Now we're not soldiers anymore. We want to follow our own hearts. Whoever can lead us to avenge Bell Major and the other officers—that person is our leader!"

Logan smirked. "So it's still all about who has the strongest fist, right? Good. Before I give you orders, I'll first beat you all into submission."

With that, Logan opened his familiar space behind him. Three golden Black Ant Kings appeared before everyone's eyes, radiating an intimidating presence.

…

The Golden Ant King appeared in an instant, immediately drawing everyone's attention.

Darwin and General Philip even frowned and took out their phones to take a photo of the golden ant.

When they compared the photo with the Human Federation's database, they were shocked to find that this was a completely new type of familiar!

"Who the heck did this kid find three new familiars from? I've never heard of them before," Darwin said, completely stunned. He even forgot to eat his popcorn.

"Wait! I remember this kid had three familiars—Black Ant Kings!" Philip said, thinking for a moment. "So, these three must be evolved forms of the Black Ant Kings?"

At that moment, Natalia showed up behind them, wearing high heels.

She grabbed the bag of chips from Philip's hand and said coldly: "Eat less junk food. If you want to see Logan shine in the future, you should take care of yourself."

Then, Natalia snatched the popcorn from Darwin and handed each of the two generals a cup of oatmeal tea.

When Darwin saw Natalia, he instinctively shrank back and took a sip. "Oh! This oatmeal is way too bitter!"

Philip tried it too, and his face fell. "Natalia, you did this on purpose, didn't you? Why didn't you even add any milk?"

"Who cares? You both have health issues," Natalia said with a smug smile. "Darwin, you have diabetes—this is sugar-free. Philip, you have high cholesterol—this is fat-free."

The two generals heard that and immediately put down their cups, then turned their attention back to Logan.

At this moment, the soldiers had formed a circle, surrounding Logan and the other three—Macon included—right in the center.

Macon stared at the Golden Ant King behind Logan, and his forehead broke out in a cold sweat. "So... how are we fighting?"

Logan heard this and just sat down on the ground, laughing. "Perfect. I was about to apply for the Supernova Challenge. You guys just follow the Supernova rules and give me a real workout. I allow you to team up in threes and take turns fighting me for 300 rounds."

He said that, then picked up his phone and set a timer for eight hours. He added casually: "If I can't win 300 fights within eight hours, I lose. And each team has 96 seconds."

The soldiers around them were shocked by Logan's bold words and immediately showed angry expressions.

Major Macon stood up and pointed at Logan, warning him: "Logan, even if you're strong, you're still a Master 1-Star. In our group, you'd still be at the bottom. Got it?"

Marcel looked at Logan coldly and said again, "I'm starting to doubt my choice. Arrogant people don't deserve to be our leader!"

Toren turned to the other soldiers and grinned, shouting, "If Logan wants to play, we shouldn't let him down. Show him what you're made of!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"

The loud shouts surrounded Logan's ears, shaking him all over.

The sound of a thousand soldiers shouting was even louder than a thousand people singing together.

Logan felt their fighting spirit and smiled. "Then let's start with the three of you! Bring out your familiars!"

Hearing this, Macon and the others didn't hesitate. They all showed off their full strength.

The three of them used their familiars at the same time. Macon turned into a lion-like humanoid, Toren became a stone gargoyle, and Marcel transformed into a shadow hunter.

As they changed, their familiars also jumped out from behind them.

Just then, each of them was lifted by huge beasts beneath their feet, and they each climbed onto their own mounts.

Macon flew in the air, while Toren and Marcel rode on their monsters, one on each side, surrounding Logan in the center.

At the same time, three agility-type small monsters suddenly jumped out from beside Logan. They kept changing positions and bared their teeth at him, as if ready to attack at any moment.

Meanwhile, the real strong familiars of Macon and the others stood beside them, ready to launch a deadly attack on Logan at any moment.

Seeing the situation, Logan sat cross-legged on the ground and clapped his hands with a smile. "Nice, nice. The combination is pretty good. But how will it work in actual fighting?"

As Logan finished speaking, the three Golden Ant Kings moved.

In a single moment, the three agility-type monsters that had been harassing Logan just moments ago were picked up by the Golden Ant Kings and their limbs were all broken.

When Macon and the others finally realized what was happening, they were all shocked. "This... what kind of monster is this? Your familiar couldn't possibly be that fast!"

Although Macon and the others were only majors, that didn't mean they were inexperienced.

They had been through hundreds of battles, and they clearly understood what the Golden Ant Kings' super-fast speed meant.

At that moment, Toren and Marcel stood together, watching Logan with serious faces.

Toren pulled Marcel's sleeve and asked: "Have you ever seen a monster move this fast? I only saw one like this once in the Legend Realm's Blood Cultivation Area."

Marcel's eyes turned serious. "It's an A-Level speed-type monster! Definitely an A-Level speed-type! Otherwise, it wouldn't have this speed at the Master stage!"

Macon, flying in the air, had already sensed that their group's strength was being suppressed by Logan, so he warned, "Forget about that for now. Form a triangle formation and hold the three Golden Ant Kings back. Let's go fight Logan himself!"

With that, Macon's mount turned into a flash of light and rushed straight toward Logan.

The Golden Ant Kings immediately rushed forward to block, but Macon smiled wickedly. "I was waiting for you!"

Then, Macon's mount suddenly turned into a cage, trapping the three Golden Ant Kings in the center.

At the same time, Toren and Marcel's familiars also launched long-range attacks, limiting the movement of the three Golden Ant Kings.

In an instant, the sky was full of magical fireballs from the familiars, shining like a fireworks show.
