Chapter 231

On the other side of Blue Star.

The United States, the secret core territory of the Adams family.

It was a massive black Gubao built on the edge of an active volcano.

The sky was perpetually shrouded in volcanic ash.

Deep within the Gubao.

The door to the highest-level Elder Council chamber slid open to either side.

One after another, high-ranking Adams family members stepped out of the chamber.

Carter walked among them, his face grim.

As soon as he stepped out, he headed in one direction.

There, a blond youth leaned casually against a Shi Zhu in the corridor.

The youth radiated an air of absolute confidence.

This man was Arthur Adams, the absolute prodigy leader of this generation of the Adams family.

"Uncle Carter, done with the meeting?"

Arthur's face broke into a casual smile.

"Mm."

Carter nodded, the darkness in his eyes slightly lessened. "Arthur, why aren't you back? Waiting for me?"

Arthur shrugged, his expression utterly casual.

"Of course. Long Xu Ban in Dragon Country has made such a huge splash—I'm dying to know what's going on."

"Did the Elders reach any conclusions?"

At this, Carter snorted coldly.

"The Elder Council unanimously believes the most likely reason Dragon Country achieved such an appalling dungeon-clearing record is the emergence of an extremely specialized 'Team Dungeon Support Class.'"

"This class can most likely see through Team Dungeon loopholes—or even forcibly create nonexistent ones—to drastically reduce dungeon-clearing time."

"A Team Fuben Support Class?"

Arthur paused, then sneered:

"So that's it… no wonder they pulled off such an outrageous score."

"It's just exploiting a special mechanic to cheat. I thought they'd actually produced some monster capable of destroying heaven and earth."

But then.

Arthur's gaze sharpened.

"Uncle Carter."

"If Dragon Country truly has such a class, it's not good news for us."

Team Fuben records have always been a nation's face.

They are the absolute symbol of national power.

As the two superpowers of Blue Star, the United States and Dragon Country have long divided most of the world's Hell-level Team Fuben records between them.

But because of this special class,

the balance…

has been shattered.

"If we allow this special class to grow unchecked…"

Arthur said coldly:

"The Team Fuben records we hold will eventually all fall into Dragon Country's hands."

"And once they set such an extreme, outrageous record, no one in future generations will ever break it."

"At that point, our global prestige will vanish completely."

"Hmph."

Carter snorted:

"Exactly. This is the greatest threat right now."

"In the upcoming Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield, the other seven nations matched with Dragon Country in the same zone all have deep ties to us."

"Ying Country, Great Han Country, Tianzhu Country…"

Hearing this,

Arthur's eyes lit up.

"So…"

"The Elders' idea is to issue a direct order for these seven nations to unite and slaughter this generation of Dragon Long Xu Ban in the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield?"

"Bullshit!"

Carter's face turned grim.

His eyes brimmed with fury and frustration:

"I proposed exactly that in the meeting."

"But those old bastards outright rejected my proposal."

"Why?"

Arthur frowned.

Carter sneered repeatedly, his tone brimming with contempt for the Elder Council's leadership.

"Those old fossils said if we openly organize a seven-nation alliance targeting Dragon Country alone, it's equivalent to tearing off all pretenses."

After hearing this, Arthur looked as if he'd just heard the biggest joke in the world.

"Tear off the face? Break the rules?"

"Hahahaha..."

"Are we afraid to tear off the face of the Dragon Nation?"

"Over the years, in the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield, are there few Dragon Nation geniuses who died at our hands? And are there few of our geniuses who died at theirs?"

"Everyone has long understood this without words; why care about this superficial face?"

Carter sighed and shook his head.

"Who says otherwise?"

"But those old immortals insist that is called an unwritten rule."

"Entering the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield, everyone relies on their own ability; life and death are not discussed. Even if they fight until blood flows like a river, that is the genius's own affair."

"But if we step forward and forcibly unite the seven nations to target the Dragon Nation, that is a problem on another level."

"Once the matter is exposed, it is a declaration of total war against the Dragon Nation."

After hearing this explanation.

Arthur spat irritably.

"A bunch of cowardly old trash."

"What a pity..."

Arthur clenched his fist, wild battle intent flashing in his eyes.

"It is a pity that this time, we were not matched with the Dragon Nation in the same war zone."

"Otherwise, I, Arthur alone, would be enough to annihilate the entire Dragon Long Xu Ban... completely!"

Seeing Arthur's domineering posture.

A trace of gratification flashed in Carter's eyes.

He had absolute confidence in Arthur's strength.

"Arthur, I certainly know your strength. If we were in one zone, the Dragon Nation's Long Xu Ban of this generation would absolutely not be able to walk out of the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield alive."

"However..."

Carter shifted his tone.

"Under my insistence, the Elders have finally relented."

"How so?"

Arthur became interested.

A sinister smile rose on Carter's lips:

"Next, if the Dragon Nation dares to touch our Adams family's raid record..."

"Then they are slapping our face!"

"At that time, to hell with the unwritten rule! To hell with tearing off the face!"

"The Elder Council will immediately issue the highest secret order!"

"Unite the seven nations, spare no cost, and make the Dragon Nation's Long Xu Ban of this generation... never walk out of the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield!"

Hearing Carter's words.

"Hahahaha!"

Arthur burst into wild laughter.

Endless battle intent surged in his eyes.

"Uncle Carter, with you saying that, I now desperately hope those Bai Chi from the Dragon Nation will come to touch our record tomorrow."

"Peaceful days have lasted too long..."

"The Blue Star simply does not need so many nations."

Seeing Arthur's wild appearance.

Carter smiled as well.

"Yes."

"I have long disliked that group of Easterners."

"Break it, break all the records..."

"Then, ignite the flames of war!"

The two looked at each other and smiled.

In that smile lay a chilling scent of blood.

It was the madness and bloodlust unique to fervent warmongers.

For them.

The entire Blue Star could have only one voice, and that was the voice of their Adams family.
