Chapter 268: Senior, Are You Polite?

The Fuben center.

Less than ten minutes remained before the World Arena officially opened.

The entire hall of the Fuben center was already packed solid.

A sea of heads surged everywhere he looked.

Everyone had gathered here for one purpose alone.

To witness with their own eyes how the man known as the Great Demon King stepped into the arena to sweep away the prodigies of seven nations!

"Hey, hey, hey, have you heard?"

A student lowered his voice and spoke to those around him.

"Heard what?"

Someone nearby leaned in.

"For this World Arena, our Longxu Class sent only Lin Mo, the Great Demon King, inside!"

"Everyone else is standing by outside!"

At these words,

a crowd immediately gathered around him.

"What the hell? Seriously?"

A male student widened his eyes, utterly stunned.

"Aren't we always supposed to send the entire Longxu Class into the World Arena? That's been the rule for every generation!"

"Exactly."

Another student frowned.

"The World Arena is so dangerous—sending everyone in at least gives you backup."

"Sending only Lin Mo? That doesn't make sense!"

The student who broke the news shook his head.

"You don't get it."

"I heard this was an order from above."

He glanced around.

"I heard Senior Nie suspects that this time, the Adams Family will order the other seven nations to unite and ambush our Long Country!"

Hearing this,

the students around him erupted in righteous fury.

"????"

One hot-tempered student flew into a rage.

"Why?!"

"Aren't the rules of the World Arena always one-on-one, life or death?"

"Seven nations ganging up on just us?"

"That's so shameless!"

Another student snorted.

"Rules?"

"To the Adams Family, rules are made to be broken."

"But honestly, we can understand."

The student shrugged.

"Think about it."

"Our Great Demon King Lin Mo has spent the past few days literally stomping the Adams Family's face into the ground…"

Hearing this,

the students around him nodded in deep agreement.

"True."

"If I were an Adams Family executive, I'd probably choke on blood."

At that moment,

a girl in the crowd wore a look of deep concern.

"But…"

"If it's a seven-nation ambush…"

"Why are we only sending Lin Mo alone?"

"One person against 140—won't that be too dangerous?"

The moment she finished speaking,

a chorus of scoffs erupted nearby.

"Sis, are you kidding me?"

"Dangerous?"

"There's zero danger!"

The senior rolled his eyes.

"Did you forget how Lin Mo, right after enrolling, single-handedly crushed the entire sophomore class?"

"And now? No one knows how strong he's become."

Hearing the senior's reminder,

the girl froze.

Then she smacked her own forehead.

"Right!"

"Lin Mo is this strong."

"What's to fear from just 140 people?"

The students around her burst into laughter.

Yeah.

If it were anyone else facing 140 prodigies in an ambush, death would be certain.

But if it's the Great Demon King…

They even began to pity the prodigies of the seven nations.

At this moment,

another boy with glasses spoke up:

"Still, we can understand the Adams Family's move."

"After all, Lin Mo has set such an terrifying record."

"If I were with the Adams Family, I wouldn't just sit idle."

"To ensure success, I'd even order all seven nations' prodigies to bring their specialized weapons inside!"

At these words,

the crowd fell silent for a moment.

Then—

"Pfft!"

Someone booed loudly.

"Do you think the Adams Family is stupid?"

"Have all seven nations, 140 people, bring specialized weapons in?"

"That's just handing us a gift!"

The glasses-wearing boy shook his head, rebutting:

"You can't say that."

"You need to understand one key point."

"We know how strong Lin Mo is because we're at Jingda—we've seen him fight with our own eyes."

"But what about the Adams Family and the other nations?"

The boy lowered his voice.

"They don't know!"

"You know how fiercely our country censors information!"

"Any video of Lin Mo online, even one second long, gets permanently deleted instantly!"

Hearing the glasses-wearing boy's analysis,

everyone suddenly understood.

"That makes sense!"

One student sighed.

"Man, this total internet and communication blackout is a double-edged sword."

"I have no idea how the outside world is talking about us right now."

"I'd really like to see what's happening out there—see those self-righteous faces for myself."

Hearing the student's words,

the senior beside him glanced at him sideways and sneered.

"Forget it."

"Don't bother looking."

"With your IQ,"

"if you really got on the foreign internet and saw all those brainwashing narratives,"

"you'd probably get defected within minutes."

The student's face froze.

"???"

"Senior, are you being polite?"

Around them, a burst of laughter erupted.

……

Meanwhile,

on the opposite side of the dungeon's central hall,

Guhe, Xu Wenchang, Han Xue, and other senior figures and instructors from Jingda stood there.

Behind them,

were Ye Kong, Han Mengyao, Chu Lingxuan, and the other nineteen students from the Dragon Order class.

Although they didn't need to enter the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield today,

as Lin Mo's classmates,

they had arrived early to cheer on their class monitor.

At this moment,

Han Mengqing buzzed over to Guhe.

"Principal! Principal!"

"Hmm?"

Guhe glanced at her.

Han Mengqing's face glowed with excitement as she whispered mysteriously:

"Principal, do you know?"

"Last night, our class monitor unlocked a new skill! At least two Gao Jie skills!"

At these words,

Xu Wenchang, Han Xue, and the others nearby all gathered closer.

"Really?"

Xu Wenchang's eyes widened.

"Another one? Two in one night?"

Han Mengqing nodded vigorously.

"Absolutely true!"

"Last night, my sister, Lingxuan, and I were leveling up in the wild."

As she spoke, Han Mengqing gestured wildly.

"Late at night,"

"we saw the sky far away suddenly change color!"

"A vast mass of dark clouds covered the heavens!"

"Then we saw countless Thunder Light Swords—shhh-shhh-shhh—falling from the sky!"

Han Mengqing grew more excited as she spoke.

"The scene was just so cool!"

"The sky was lit up by torrents of lightning!"

"And when they hit the ground, they triggered chain explosions!"

Listening to Han Mengqing's description,

Guhe frowned.

"Thunder Light Swords…"

"Falling from the sky…"

"Chain thunderstorms on impact…"

Guhe's pupils shrank slightly.

Han Mengqing continued excitedly:

"That's not all!"

"In the late night, after we got tired of grinding monsters, we were thinking of heading back to the dorms."

"Then, from that direction, something happened again!"

Han Mengqing clasped her hands together in front of her chest and slammed them hard.

"Smack!"

"We saw the earth split open!"

"Two giant rock hands, as tall as mountains, burst straight up!"

"Then they clapped together—right out of thin air!"

"Boom-boom-boom!"

"Even ten kilometers away, we felt the ground shaking violently!"

"It was terrifying!"

Han Mengyao and Chu Lingxuan nodded beside her, confirming Han Mengqing's account.

Guhe fell silent.

As Jingda's principal and a top-tier Thunder Art expert,

just from her description, he already knew which two Gao Jie skills they were.

"Thunder Light Sword Rain… Earth's Grasp…"

Guhe murmured to himself.

"Thunder Light Sword Rain?"

"Earth's Grasp?"

Han Mengqing blinked and asked:

"Principal, do you know these two skills?"
