Chapter 244: The Great Demon King Is Still Too Dazzling

Listening to the two women's complaints.

Lin Mo's mouth twitched slightly.

Nonsense.

Those are clearly two people… no, two skills' personalities.

Lin Mo didn't dwell on this topic any longer.

He looked ahead at the rows of Team Fuben rifts.

Very quickly.

Lin Mo locked onto one of the Team Fubens.

Above that Team Fuben hung the fastest clear record, belonging to the Adams family of Beautiful Country.

【Final Clear Time: 30 minutes 12 seconds】

"Thirty minutes?"

Lin Mo's brow lifted slightly, a flicker of doubt flashing through his mind.

"That long?"

"Previous Team Fuben records were at most just over twenty minutes, yet this one actually takes thirty."

"Is it really that hard?"

He thought for a moment.

Lin Mo pointed at that Team Fuben.

"This one then, 【Netherworld Poison Swamp】."

Having said that.

He turned to look at Han Mengyao beside him and asked:

"Mengyao, what's the situation with this Team Fuben?"

"Why is the clear time so long?"

Hearing Lin Mo's question.

Han Mengyao stepped forward and said seriously:

"Class monitor."

"This 【Netherworld Poison Swamp】 Team Fuben — the earlier minion stages' mechanics aren't worth mentioning; with your strength, you can just brute-force through them."

Han Mengyao's brow furrowed slightly.

"What's truly disgusting."

"Is its final BOSS stage."

"That BOSS called 【Venom Tyrant】 has an extremely twisted special mechanic."

Han Mengyao took a deep breath and explained in detail:

"When the BOSS's HP drops to 80% and 40%."

"It triggers an invincibility BUFF."

"Another invincibility BUFF?"

Lin Mo frowned.

Han Mengyao nodded and continued:

"However, this invincibility state is a little different from the ones we've seen before."

"This BOSS's invincibility state lasts a full three minutes."

"And, during those three minutes."

"The BOSS absorbs all attack damage dealt to it from the outside."

"Once the three minutes are up…"

Han Mengyao's tone turned Serious.

"The BOSS will multiply all the damage it absorbed during those three minutes and unleash a large-scale counterattack explosion!"

After hearing Han Mengyao's explanation.

Lin Mo understood.

No wonder this Team Fuben's clear time was so long.

Turns out you're basically just standing around waiting out the invincibility state.

After all, since it absorbs all damage, who'd be stupid enough to keep dealing damage?

Thinking of this.

Lin Mo asked:

"Can this large-scale counterattack be dodged?"

Han Mengyao nodded.

"It can be dodged, Class monitor."

"Just run to the four corners respectively and dodge it easily."

Han Mengyao sighed.

"This Team Fuben's actual difficulty isn't that high — to put it bluntly, this invincibility state is purely disgusting and wastes too much time."

Lin Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.

An idea flashed through his mind.

"So, this absorption of all damage — does it have a cap?"

Hearing Lin Mo's question.

Han Mengyao instinctively shook her head.

"No…"

But the words had barely left her mouth.

She seemed to realize something, and her tone grew cautious:

"Not yet."

Han Mengyao's meaning was clear.

Before Lin Mo appeared, this boss's damage absorption had no upper limit—not even heaven's king could cap it.

But now that Lin Mo has come…

It's hard to say.

What if she gets slapped in the face later?

After witnessing Lin Mo's countless miracles in succession, Han Mengyao now always left herself an escape route when speaking.

"Understood."

Lin Mo nodded.

Then he waved his hand.

"Everyone, enter the Team Fuben!"

"Yes, Class Leader!"

The Long Xu Ban members shouted in unison and followed Lin Mo as they strode into the rift of the 【幽冥毒沼】.

…

As Lin Mo and the others vanished into the light,

Xu Wenchang sighed:

"Principal."

"The day after tomorrow is when the Junior World Arena officially opens."

"At Lin Mo's insane leveling speed…"

"By then, his level will likely be very close to the Junior World Arena's 40-level cap."

Hearing Xu Wenchang's words,

Principal Guhe, with his hands behind his back, laughed heartily.

"40 levels?"

"If not for the time limit on the World Arena's opening…"

"I'd gladly let Lin Mo enter now, every single day—who could stop him?"

Hearing this, Xu Wenchang also nodded with a smile.

"True enough."

"This kid's combat power can't be measured by ordinary level standards."

But then,

Xu Wenchang's expression turned Serious.

"Still, Principal."

"These past few days, we've been breaking Adamas Family records nonstop…"

"I have a feeling the Adamas Family will take action."

"After all, the nations we've matched with this time—Ying Nation, Da Han Nation, Tianzhu Nation—all have deep ties to the Adamas Family."

Hearing Xu Wenchang's concern,

Principal Guhe snorted.

"Hmph!"

"Niet Lao and the others already foresaw this—they've made preparations."

"Good."

"If they truly dare form a Seven-Nation Alliance to attack our Long Nation's prodigies in the World Arena…"

"Then let the whole world see how we annihilate their so-called alliance, leaving not a single soldier alive!"

"Anyone who dares provoke our Long Nation must be ready for total annihilation!"

Hearing Principal Guhe's words,

Xu Wenchang felt a surge of热血 rise in his chest.

He smiled in agreement:

"You're right, Principal."

"Just a bunch of clowns."

Saying this,

Xu Wenchang rubbed his chin.

"Principal."

"In my opinion…"

"Once the World Arena opens the day after tomorrow, just let Lin Mo enter alone."

"I feel he could handle seven nations by himself."

Hearing this suggestion,

Principal Guhe paused, then shook his head.

"No."

"Lin Mo is indeed strong."

"But..."

Principal Guhe sighed, his gaze settling on the rift through which Lin Mo and the others had entered the Team Fuben.

"We can't abandon all the prodigies from Lin Mo's cohort just because he shines so brightly."

"Look at the Han sisters, Han Mengyao and Han Mengqing, look at Ye Kong, and Chu Lingxuan and the rest."

"Which one of them isn't among the top 18-year-old practitioners in Longguo?"

"It's just..."

"That Lin Mo's brilliance is so overwhelming, it makes them seem dim in comparison."

"But they, too, are the future hope of Longguo."

"The Wanguo Battlefield is true life-or-death combat."

"At the very least... at the very least, they should be allowed to enter and witness the world, to experience real battle."

After hearing Principal Guhe's heartfelt words,

Xu Wenchang nodded in deep agreement.

"The principal is right."

"I didn't consider it thoroughly enough."

"Jade uncarved cannot become an artifact; flowers in a greenhouse cannot withstand wind and rain."

The two exchanged glances.

Then,

they once again turned their gaze toward the Team Fuben rift.
