Chapter 233
"Xiong Country professionals?"
Dozens of professionals poured out from the cave passage opposite.
There were white people and black people,
all wearing high-quality equipment.
"That doesn't seem like Xiong Country professionals, does it?" Li Yao asked in confusion.
At this time, bursts of exclamations also rang out from the surrounding Some Jingyu students.
"What's going on? Wasn't it supposed to be Xiong Country professionals this week?"
"How did it become Old Eagle Country professionals?"
The surrounding Some Jingyu students
all had expressions of shock.
Their brows were tightly furrowed, and some even couldn't help but curse under their breath.
"Damn, that brat is here too. Is the Old Eagle Country even reasonable at all!?"
"They clearly signed a contract with Some Jingyu that this week would be a competition between our Dragon Country and the Xiong Country. Now they're cutting in line; is there no respect for the rules?"
"The Xiong Country isn't any better either; they must have taken bribes from the Old Eagle Country!"
"No way! If they come, won't my thousand points be wasted? I have to find Some Jingyu to get a refund!"
""
Li Yao heard these curses
and felt somewhat puzzled.
"Are the Old Eagle Country professionals really that scary?"
In Li Yao's perception, the aura emitted by this group of Old Eagle professionals, even if stronger than the Some Jingyu students, wasn't stronger by much!
Why would they show such expressions?
"It's because of those two," Zhang Zhang Liyu said with a solemn expression, looking toward the Old Eagle Country side.
Li Yao followed Zhang Zhang Liyu's gaze.
Both were wearing ice-blue Poison Mage robes, one male and one female, standing at the very front of the team, looking at the Some Jingyu students with contempt.
"That curly-haired man, Isaac," Zhang Zhang Liyu continued, "is an SS-rank professional, a Polar Ice Archmage."
"As you can see, Senior, the Torrent Flame Grotto is a fire-attribute dungeon."
"The final boss is a fire-element monster through and through!"
"Ice-attribute damage appears extremely powerful here."
"On the Old Eagle Country side, to ensure a fixed weekly output of a leader weapon, they keep Isaac stuck at level 40 to lead a team to clear the Torrent Flame Grotto every week."
"At the beginning, because we at Some Jingyu didn't know their background, we stumbled a few times and had the first place snatched away by them for two months in a row."
"Later, we also found an SS-rank ice-type Hunter, kept him at level 40, and led a team to compete against them."
"For a short time, there were wins and losses."
"Later, our Some Jingyu negotiated with their Old Eagle Country: every two weeks, two SS-rank professionals would lead teams to clash, and the rest of the time would be left for other professionals to have a chance at training."
"This week, it happens to be the time for the competition between Some Jingyu and the Xiong Country professionals."
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen this dungeon opening day to issue a contribution mission!"
Zhang Zhang Liyu became more and more angry as he spoke.
With the border trial selection imminent, he had finally managed to invite Senior Li Yao to help him forge an exclusive weapon,
only for a troublemaker to appear halfway through.
And there were two of them!
"Recently, I heard people say that another SS-rank ice-type professional has emerged in the Old Eagle Country."
"That girl with the twin tails," Zhang Zhang Liyu pointed over there, "seems to be called something like Vivian."
"She is an ice-type Assassin, but the specific profession is unclear."
"So now the balance has been broken, and the Old Eagle Country is unwilling to continue honoring the contract?" Li Yao said calmly.
"Exactly!"
Zhang Zhang Liyu was so angry!
"Senior, don't you think these bastards are just looking for trouble!"
"Even if there's one more person, they don't have to come together!"
If only one of them had come,
with Li Yao here, Zhang Zhang Liyu wouldn't be afraid at all!
Let's have a real fight with real weapons!
You have an SS-rank ice-type Poison Mage,
I have Senior Li Yao.
Zhang Zhang Liyu felt the advantage was on his side!
Now that both of them have come together, along with four top-tier ice-type professionals,
while on their side,
there is only Senior Li Yao and himself, a fire-type professional.
"By the way,"
Zhang Zhang Liyu suddenly looked at Li Yao: "Senior, this is a special situation. Even if we don't get first place, it's not your fault."
Although he was annoyed at that group of Old Eagle Country professionals, Zhang Zhang Liyu didn't vent his anger on Li Yao.
"The Dark Gold-grade weapon for the failed mission won't need to be compensated."
"We'll see," Li Yao said casually.
As the Old Eagle Country professionals arrived,
the magma pool nearby began to bubble and gurgle.
Some Some Jingyu students had already given up, cursing and walking directly toward the passage, preparing to leave the dungeon.
Saying things like:
Even if I can't get experience, don't think I'm going to work for you bastards for free!
On the Some Jingyu student side, nearly half the number of people left at once.
This also goes to show
that in the eyes of these Some Jingyu students, competing for output against SS-rank ice-type professionals is simply impossible!
The remaining Some Jingyu students were all thinking about not wasting their points and getting as much experience as they could.
If they were lucky, maybe they could snatch one of the lower rankings.
Even mosquito legs are meat, after all!
Seeing them leave, the disdain in the eyes of the Old Eagle Country professionals grew even more intense.
Vivian was playing with a dagger in her hand while scanning and examining the Dragon Country professionals.
Her tone was frivolous and casual: "No familiar faces here. This mission is in the bag!"
"Hmm."
Isaac was much more composed than Vivian, analyzing:
"The most powerful one seems to be that professional from the Zhang family of the Dragon Country, but he is fire-attribute. In this dungeon, he might not even be as good as an A-rank professional."
"Hmm?"
Isaac suddenly shuddered all over, his eyes staring fixedly at the side of Zhang Zhang Liyu.
At that young man wearing a black trench coat, with a long sword at his waist and a handsome face.
"It's over."
"What?" Vivian asked, confused as she looked at his expression.
"The Dragon Country's strongest has also come."
Vivian's pupils shrank, and even her twin tails trembled.
"Where? You didn't see wrong, did you?"
The Dragon Country's strongest is the honor given to Li Yao by overseas professionals.
The live broadcast of the Life Pool was broadcast globally.
