Chapter 405

The few people around did not dare to let out a single breath.

Even Qin Qin Xuejun, who had always been at odds with Kujo Mise,

wanted to speak up for Kujo Mise at this moment.

But they all knew

that this was the very first, and absolutely necessary, challenge

that Kujo Mise had to face if she wanted to settle in the Dragon Kingdom!

After a few breaths,

Ji Yuanlang let out a laugh,

and extended his right hand.

"Apologies."

"The number one support-class profession; I hope to have the chance to spar with you."

"Very well," Kujo Mise reached out and shook his hand.

Shang Shang Ziyu glanced at Ji Nie Yuan with a dejected look.

So spineless!

Sigh.

Little sister has gained yet another rival!

"Since you said you wanted to make a contribution,"

"then there is an opportunity right now."

Kujo Mise scanned the Dragon Kingdom professionals around her.

"The undercover agents,"

"have you found them yet?"

Gainerat was flying rapidly through the air.

The gale howled.

As Kujo Mise's words fell,

everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

With Li Yao's presence,

the undercover agents had absolutely no chance to show their faces.

Half of the national border trial had already passed,

and they had almost forgotten about the existence of undercover agents.

Who is the undercover agent?

Everyone looked at one another.

All of them felt a lingering fear.

"Does Benefactor Mise have a way?" Mishaluo asked cautiously.

"Mm."

Kujo Mise nodded.

"When I reached the Third Rank, I learned a skill."

"Gaze of the Profound Field Star."

"It can purify debuffs on a target."

"According to tests, an 'undercover identity' counts as a type of debuff."

"I found the undercover agent from the Sakura Kingdom on the very first day of the national border trial."

"I see. Then I will have to trouble Benefactor Mise."

Mishaluo pressed his palms together, his body becoming tense.

While listening to Kujo Mise's explanation,

Li Yao was also observing everyone's expressions.

They were all similar to Mishaluo's—

bodies tense,

gripping their weapons in their hands,

and looking at others vigilantly.

Other than that,

Li Yao did not see any emotions like 'guilt' on their faces.

Li Yao frowned slightly.

Are they hiding it that well?

Or is it that

they are confident their undercover identity won't be detected by Kujo Mise?

Arriving at the stronghold,

everyone climbed down from Gainerat's back.

Following Kujo Mise's instructions,

they formed a circle in the open space.

Kujo Mise stood in the center,

then took another step closer to Li Yao.

"Li Yao-kun, I will enter a state of paralysis for a period of time when casting this skill."

"Alright, I understand."

Li Yao stood up,

guarding by Kujo Mise's side.

It seems

this skill called 【Gaze of the Profound Field Star】 is not simple.

It has negative effects similar to an ultimate skill.

But that makes sense.

Purifying debuffs—

such an ability can be minor or major.

If it can even undo some extremely heaven-defying curses,

then it is worthy of being called a strategic-level skill!

Moreover, it appears to be a group purification.

With such an ability, the negative effects shouldn't be as simple as Kujo Mise described!

Kujo Mise took out her staff,

closed her eyes,

and her figure slowly floated into mid-air.

A brilliant light suddenly appeared.

"Please, everyone, do not resist this energy."

As the light washed over him, Li Yao immediately felt a warm sensation.

Hm?

Just at this moment,

Li Yao opened his eyes wide.

Something was wrong,

but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

It was somewhat similar

to the feeling of being watched by some creature?

Li Yao was certain.

It was not because of Kujo Mise's skill.

However,

this feeling

vanished as soon as it appeared.

The other party's perception was also very keen;

it seemed to know that he had detected it.

At this time,

the light dissipated,

and Kujo Mise landed on the ground.

"It's over so quickly?" Qin Qin Xuejun was just about to ask who the undercover agent was,

when he noticed Kujo Mise's suspicious expression.

She muttered in a low voice,

"How is this possible?"

"There are no undercover agents?"

Everyone's faces turned grave.

In this situation,

no one suspected that Kujo Mise was playing with them;

they all realized the severity of the matter.

The Sakura Kingdom's undercover agent was found on the first day,

yet one couldn't be found in the Dragon Kingdom?

Ji Nie Yuan frowned and asked,

"Is it possible that our undercover agents are from the Demon Insect race or the Demigod race?"

"They are powerful and it wouldn't be strange for them to possess some concealment abilities."

"The probability of that is likely not high," Kujo Mise said in a deep voice.

"The essence of 【Gaze of the Profound Field Star】 is purification, not reconnaissance; there is no such thing as concealment."

"But—" Zhang Zhang Yucheng wanted to say something more, but noticed Li Yao's grave expression. "Li Yao, did you discover something?"

Everyone looked over.

"It's nothing, perhaps I was overthinking it," Li Yao shook his head.

It couldn't be overthinking!

Li Yao trusted his perception implicitly.

If he found something wrong,

then there was definitely something wrong!

It was just that he couldn't find the observer himself,

and telling everyone would only add to their worries without helping.

As for the undercover agent,

Li Yao actually had a different thought than everyone else.

Because the Demigod race is too powerful,

they were imprisoned by the Heavenly Dao for half a month before descending to the Lost Continent.

Perhaps

the Dragon Kingdom's undercover agent is from the Demigod race!

It just hasn't appeared yet.

Li Yao suddenly asked, "Kujo Mise, what is the cooldown for this skill?"

"If nothing is purified, the cooldown is only 12 hours."

As expected, this skill is even more outrageous than imagined.

Even without purifying anything, the cooldown is identical to that of an ultimate skill!

Li Yao sighed inwardly and said,

"The Demigod race descends to the Lost Continent tomorrow; let's cast it again tomorrow."

Once these words were spoken,

everyone guessed Li Yao's thoughts.

"There won't be any other negative effects, right?" Li Yao asked.

Kujo Mise chuckled, "Don't worry, Li Yao-kun. A debuff like 'undercover identity' is classified by 【Gaze of the Profound Field Star】 as a transformation-type curse."

"The conditions for purification are very simple; it just consumes some mana."

"That's good."

Li Yao nodded and turned his attention to the distance,

where two massive corpses were being transported back by the Lishan Demon Insects.

"Next, you all should get some good rest. Don't act on your own tomorrow morning; wait for Kujo Mise to purify again."

"Understood."

"No problem!"

Everyone replied.

"That must be the Titan Emperor, right?"

"The aura on the corpse is this terrifying?" Ji Nie Yuan also saw the two corpses being transported,

and couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

To have such a powerful aura remaining even after death—

he truly couldn't imagine how strong it was while alive.

"That's right, this guy's strength is indeed outrageous."

Li Yao laughed,

and ordered the insect swarm to transport the corpses to Benefactor Xiao Bai's side.

One was an Insect Mother,

the other a Titan-race monster.

He had given up on letting the Devourer consume the Titan Emperor, who had higher health,

and instead had it consume the Second Seat,

all to let Benefactor Xiao Bai use the Titan Emperor's corpse

to breed a Mimic Demon Insect!

"Outrageous strength? I think you're the one who's more outrageous, aren't you?" Hunt Hunting Xixia glanced at Li Yao, then walked toward her wooden hut.

Everyone deeply agreed.

They couldn't help but wonder:

If the Titan Emperor,

such a powerful monster, has become a corpse,

then are the Demigod race, who were imprisoned for half a month,

really Li Yao's match?
