Chapter 502

"Facing the improvement of the entire country, no professional in our Dragon Kingdom will shrink back."

"You haven't been to the border recently, so there is something you might not be aware of," Lin Lao thought for a moment, then decided to inform Li Yao. "In these seven days, the offensives of the Titan race and the Magic Insect race have weakened a lot."

"Rather than calling it an offensive, it's more like they are dragging out our professionals' military strength."

"You killed several human-insects, the Titan Emperor, and a demigod in the border trial; this is a huge good thing for our human professionals, representing a historic progress for human professionals!"

"But for the three major demon races, it is sky-high hatred!"

"Now we suspect that these guys are plotting a revenge! A heaven-shaking revenge!"

"If the Dragon Kingdom cannot get an improvement,"

"it is very likely that we will suffer heavy losses in this 'revenge'!"

Regarding this matter, the Federation's original idea was not to tell Li Yao,

worrying that Li Yao would think

the Federation was blaming him for being too ruthless.

But Lin Lao could guarantee

that the Federation's top brass absolutely did not have this thought!

Now, in order to get Li Yao to agree to the Dragon Kingdom exploring the Abyss, Lin Lao could only say it out loud.

"Lin Lao, although I didn't know about this," Li Yao said, his eyes fixed on the platform, "but I could guess it."

At this time, the first round of ranking matches had already ended.

Shi Shi Kangshun noticed that Li Yao was having a secret conversation with Lin Lao,

so he went up to the platform himself to announce the winners advancing to the next round,

and had a random audience member draw the list for the next matches.

Li Yao continued:

"Tomorrow, I will take a trip to the Abyss. If it goes smoothly, I will bring back good news."

Subsequently,

Li Yao told Lin Lao everything about the 【Abyss Illustrated Handbook】.

He didn't mention anything about the Demon race.

An enemy that was completely impossible to face,

telling the national leaders too early

was not a good thing.

He only told the other party

that the Demigod race and the Titan race

were only the lowest C-level and B-level threats

to the entire Abyss.

"In short, the Abyss might be even more dangerous than you imagine!"

Li Yao's words

made the elderly man fall into deep thought.

Li Yao didn't disturb him,

focusing his attention on the platform.

In this round, Kong Kong Jiamu was drawn, and his opponent was also an acquaintance, Yun Yun Hejiang,

a seeded player of the Magic Martial Academy.

He had slapped the other party in the face, so he roughly knew Yun Yun Hejiang's strength.

It would be very difficult for Kong Kong Jiamu to win,

and he would pay a great price!

It must be said that this kid's luck was really bad enough!

Meeting a strong enemy right from the start would have a great impact on the subsequent matches!

Li Yao didn't think too much about it.

There were always some 'unlucky' people in the world.

"Li Yao," Lin Lao's voice sounded.

Li Yao turned his head and found that the old man's expression was ugly to the extreme.

"You didn't finish telling me, did you?"

"If it were only the Titan race and the Demigod race, it shouldn't be enough to make you decide not to let the Dragon Kingdom set foot in the Abyss."

"I guess, is there another unknown race?"

"The threat level even exceeds that of the Demigods?"

Li Yao fell silent.

He had underestimated this Dragon Kingdom general a bit too much.

Seeing Li Yao's expression, Lin Lao knew he had guessed correctly.

But there was no joy in guessing right, only endless silence.

After a long while, he sighed: "I understand your reason."

Lin Lao gave a bitter smile again.

"Having said so much, you should also know the Dragon Kingdom's attitude toward you."

"Free-range and support."

"Not interfering with your decisions, unconditionally supporting your decisions."

"I can guarantee you that without your permission, no professional in the Dragon Kingdom will explore the Abyss."

"Li Yao, don't think this old man is being long-winded."

"I support you going to the Abyss, but you must remember:"

"No matter what the benefits are, for the Dragon Kingdom, nothing is as important as you!"

"Take care on your trip to the Abyss."

Li Yao was moved. "Good, thank you for your concern, Lin Lao."

"Haha!" Lin Lao laughed loudly. "Isn't this kid the genius you think highly of?"

"Your eye for talent is truly sharp; just relying on this discarded equipment, he can fight the Yun family kid to a standstill."

The two's conversation returned to the Newcomer Tournament.

A few minutes later,

Kong Kong Jiamu stood on the platform covered in wounds,

while beside him, Yun Yun Hejiang had once again fallen into a coma.

A round of enthusiastic cheers erupted at the scene.

Shi Shi Kangshun walked onto the stage again,

randomly picking an audience member to draw the next round of combatants.

What Li Yao didn't expect was

that the audience member drawn this time was actually that girl Qin Qin Yue.

With so many people watching, Qin Qin Yue didn't show any stage fright and walked onto the platform with big strides.

She stretched out her small hand and took out eight small balls.

Looking at the names on them, Qin Qin Yue covered her mouth, her expression somewhat uncomfortable.

Shi Shi Kangshun frowned and walked up, picked up the small balls, and read:

"No. 1 platform, Qin Qin Xuejun versus Hong Ling."

Once these words were spoken, the whole arena widened their eyes.

Damn!

There really was no rigging!

Hong Ling and Qin Qin Xuejun were both famous geniuses of Some Jingyu.

Two of Some Jingyu's seeded players for the championship actually met in the first round of the ranking matches?

Professionals from other academies looked at each other, seeing surprise in each other's eyes.
