Chapter 337

The value of Platinum-grade equipment

was certainly higher than the favor of Han Han Xuan lending him the item.

But Han Han Xuan usually teamed up with Qin Qin Yue,

so if she were stronger, it would also help Qin Qin Yue.

Han Han Xuan still wanted to refuse, but Qin Qin Yue stopped her: "Just accept it."

"Young Master Li doesn't even care about Platinum-grade equipment!"

"You have the nerve to say that," Li Yao laughed and scolded, "You were the one who borrowed that item, right?"

"Hmph!" Qin Qin Yue snorted, wrapped her arm around Han Han Xuan's shoulder, and said triumphantly, "Do I even need to say thanks for the relationship between Xiao Xuanxuan and me?"

Han Han Xuan was held in Qin Qin Yue's arms.

Looking at the two talking,

she silently put the three pieces of equipment into her storage ring.

She finally understood

why Li Yao suddenly gave her equipment.

He was clearly helping Qin Qin Yue.

So,

am I also a part of your play?

Back at the school,

Li Yao didn't return to his dormitory immediately.

Instead, he went to the place where equipment and items were sent.

The third seat of the Titan race's new elite group, Demon Grudge—

besides dropping a legendary piece of equipment,

it also dropped a Purple-Gold grade staff.

It could apply debuffs to enemies and buffs to allies;

it was considered a top-tier support item.

It could be equipped at level 65.

He didn't know if his mother had reached level 65 in these days after completing her Fourth-Turn.

Soon,

ten days had passed

since Li Yao returned from Linbei City.

In the Dungeon Hall,

Li Yao jumped out of the vortex.

He glanced at the time.

"Xiao Na, tell them that's it for today."

"I'll reach level fifty tomorrow and need to go to a dungeon, so I'll be resting for a day and won't be carrying anyone."

There was a solo trial dungeon at level fifty.

The dungeon intensity was determined based on the class of the professional who entered.

There was no risk, and the rewards were quite good.

It was considered a mandatory dungeon for every professional.

"Understood, Student Li Yao."

Shang Shang Yana nodded

and ran to inform the students behind.

"Okay~ Student Li Yao~" Kujo Mise crossed her arms,

imitating Shang Shang Yana's delicate voice.

"I couldn't tell, Li Yao-kun actually likes this type."

When they were in the Abyss,

Kujo Mise had said she wanted to level up with Li Yao.

She had done it, too;

she was at the dungeon entrance on time every day.

Li Yao didn't give her any special treatment;

as long as she was in line, he would pull her into the team.

But Kujo Mise had "money power"!

Even if she arrived late,

she could spend money to make the students in front voluntarily give up their spots.

In these ten days,

even when Shang Shang Yana was absent, she had never missed a day.

Li Yao selectively ignored Kujo Mise's question

and asked:

"The National Border Trial is less than twenty days away; aren't you going back to the Sakura Country?"

As the strongest support class,

no matter what level she was,

Kujo Mise would participate in the National Border Trial.

That was beyond doubt.

"Li Yao-kun wants me to leave that much?" Kujo Mise's eyebrows twisted in displeasure.

"The day after tomorrow, I have to go back to participate in the intensive training."

Thinking that they might become enemies when they met again,

Kujo Mise felt somewhat unnatural.

Sigh, that didn't seem right.

Kujo Mise suddenly realized:

what could the professionals of the Sakura Country

possibly use to become Li Yao-kun's enemies?

She knew Li Yao's combat power clearly.

All the professionals of the Sakura Country, one by one!

Even if they all added up, they might not be a match for that mantis!

If they weren't even a match,

how could they be considered enemies!?

In the National Border Trial,

even if she ran into Li Yao-kun,

she would yield if she could, and retreat if she could,

and just compete with other countries for second place.

Why did they have to be enemies?

For some reason,

as a Sakura Country citizen,

when Kujo Mise thought that her country might not be a match for Li Yao in one blow,

instead of feeling depressed,

she felt a little bit of secret joy in her heart?

Kujo Mise quickly suppressed this thought and said fiercely:

"Li Yao-kun, you better be careful during the National Border Trial!"

"I won't show any mercy!"

"Heh." Li Yao chuckled and turned to leave.

Li Yao returned to his dormitory.

As per his habit, he would turn on the TV while eating.

These days,

Li Yao had been paying attention to battlefield news.

The moment the TV turned on,

Li Yao saw fireworks filling the sky.

Below, countless soldiers stood in neat formations,

as if it were a military parade.

"Victory report! Victory report!"

"According to reliable sources, the Linbei City outer region was finally declared sealed half an hour ago!"

"It has become our country's 29th outer region space successfully strangled in the cradle!"

"The war is over! The Linbei City war is completely over!"

"First, the Dragon Country's chief prodigy achieved glorious merits!"

"Then, the First Military Academy Principal Hua Hua Qianshuang led elite troops to kill their way into the monster territory and open a path!"

"Finally, the National Guardian Grand General Xue personally led the team, and dozens of top powerhouses engaged in a life-and-death battle in the monster territory!"

"Finally, today, the outer region is sealed, and the battlefield is ended!"

"..."

Afterward, a leader read out the professionals who had made outstanding contributions to this war,

who would enjoy endless glory and rewards nationwide.

In terms of overall contribution,

Li Yao ranked third.

First was Hua Hua Qianshuang, who led Dean Kong and another Seventh-Turn top powerhouse Li Yao didn't know,

to jointly kill a Seventh-Turn True-Name level monster.

Second was naturally Xue Xue Jiulan.

There were many rewards,

but Li Yao didn't hear them clearly.

His thoughts had already drifted far away.

The war was over.

So,

what exactly were the Titans after?

At the same time,

in a small noodle shop in Linbei City,

Xue Xue Jiulan, covered in mud and scars, sat on an old chair,

waiting full of anticipation for the boss to serve the noodles.

On the TV on the wall, war news was playing.

On the TV,

the atmosphere was once awkward.

On the podium,

Hua Hua Qianshuang stood alone with a "strangers keep away" expression.

The third in contribution was sleeping in his dormitory.

Little Master, there is more to this chapter; please click the next page to continue reading. It gets even more exciting!

The second in contribution was waiting for noodles in an alley noodle shop.

Soon,

the boss served a bowl of steaming hot noodles.

Xue Xue Jiulan rubbed her hands.

She had long heard that this noodle shop in Linbei City was unique,

and now it was finally time to taste it!

She had a habit:

after a war, she would cast aside all trivial matters

and wholeheartedly taste local delicacies.

Perhaps

this was also an important reason why Xue Xue Jiulan could keep killing enemies on the battlefield

while maintaining a good state of mind!

However,

just as Xue Xue Jiulan was about to pick up her chopsticks,

she suddenly froze in place.

It wasn't just her;

all professionals across the Blue Planet

heard an ancient and magnificent voice at this moment:

【Twenty natural days remaining until this year's Blue Planet National Border Trial.】

【Now announcing the Blue Planet National Border Trial participant list:】

【Dragon Country】

【Eagle Country】

【Sakura Country】

【Kimchi Country】

【India Country】

【Titan Race】

【Demon Insect Race】

【Demigod Race】

【The above 27 groups will participate in the National Border Hegemony!】

【Now balancing the combat field based on the strength gap between groups.】

【Balancing...】

【Balancing failed!】

【Demigod Race strength is too powerful; limited participants: 3.】

【Demigod Race strength is too powerful; field changed—Lost Continent.】

【Demigod Race strength is too powerful; the race's participation age limit lowered by one hundred years.】

"Crack."

The chopsticks fell to the ground.

Xue Xue Jiulan looked at the system panel again.

"Why,"

"can the three great demon races participate in the National Border Trial?"

"Why?"

"Can the three great demon clans participate in the national border trial?"
