Chapter 271

Beautiful Country.

Adams Family Headquarters.

Inside the Grand Elder's private office.

At this moment, the Grand Elder sat behind his desk.

His hair was pure silver, and every wrinkle on his face radiated the authority and coldness of long-standing power.

And Carter sat on a sofa not far away.

A cold, sinister smile hung at the corner of his mouth.

"Carter."

The Grand Elder spoke slowly.

"I think your proposal is still too extreme."

Hearing the Grand Elder's words,

Carter let out a cold laugh.

"Grand Elder."

"Extreme? Then what? Wait while Dragon Country snatches every record one by one, and we do nothing?"

Listening to Carter's words,

the Grand Elder frowned and said:

"Dragon Country isn't weak. If we do this, they might go mad."

"The Five Elders of Tian Shu Mansion—including that Lin Tianhao—are no weaker than you or I."

Hearing the Grand Elder's concern,

Carter burst into a wild, arrogant laugh.

"Hahaha!"

"Go mad? Let them. What can they do?"

"Can they just cross the ocean and come to our territory?"

"An endless, impassable Deep Sea Forbidden Zone lies between Dragon Country and us."

"If they send a large force, it will only trigger a rampage by the Deep Sea monsters. In the end, only a shattered remnant will make it through."

"What if one person comes? What good is that? On our soil, one person is no different from walking into death."

"So…"

"Dragon Country can do nothing but protest and condemn."

Hearing Carter's analysis,

the Grand Elder fell silent for a moment, then said:

"Fine. Since the order has already been issued, let it unfold as it will."

"If war is what they want, then let there be war!"

"The Adams Family fears nothing!"

The instant the Grand Elder finished speaking,

Tap-tap-tap!

A knock came at the door.

The Grand Elder frowned.

"Enter."

Click.

The door swung open.

A secretary walked in.

He glanced at Carter in the office, then stepped to the Grand Elder's side and whispered:

"Grand Elder, something has happened at the Ten Nations Arena."

"Something happened?"

The Grand Elder's brow twitched.

The secretary nodded and said:

"Dragon Country sent only one person inside."

"…."

At these words,

Carter and the Grand Elder both froze.

One person?

What the hell is going on?

"Are you sure you saw it clearly?"

Doubt flickered in the Grand Elder's eyes.

The secretary nodded again, confirming:

"I saw it clearly. The entry window has passed and is locked. Dragon Country sent exactly one person."

Hearing the secretary's firm reply,

the Grand Elder and Carter exchanged a glance.

Then,

the Grand Elder stood up:

"Let's go take a look."

……

Meanwhile.

Inside the Ten Nations Battlefield.

After a faint sensation of dizziness,

the scene before him gradually sharpened.

Lin Mo looked around.

The sky held no sun, no clouds—only endless gloom, crushing down from above.

Everywhere were pits, massive chasms, and scattered piles of bleached bones.

Smoke hung thick in the air.

Lin Mo gazed into the distance; the horizon stretched beyond sight.

Only desolation. Only silence.

"So this is the Ten Nations Battlefield..."

Lin Mo muttered to himself.

According to the information he'd checked last night on the school's internal forum, the area of the Primary Ten Nations Battlefield was enormous.

How enormous?

So enormous that, in every generation, the prodigies from every nation who entered here had strained to explore—and not one had ever reached its boundary.

It was like an independent little world.

A cage born solely for slaughter.

Lin Mo turned his gaze to his panel.

There, new information flickered, showing the entry status of each nation.

【Ying Nation Zone: 20/20】

【Da Han Nation Zone: 20/20】

【Tianzhu Nation Zone: 20/20】

【Yue Nation Zone: 20/20】

【Qiandao Nation Zone: 20/20】

【Siam Nation Zone: 20/20】

【Ma Bian Nation Zone: 20/20】

【Long Nation Zone: 1/20】

Looking at this string of entry data from each nation,

"These bastards—whether in my past life or this one—have always been at odds with Long Nation..."

"They've all shown up, then."

"Then... none of you will leave."

A cold smile curled on Lin Mo's lips.

As for the specific rules of the Primary Ten Nations Battlefield,

Lin Mo had also researched them last night on the internal forum.

Just as Principal Gu had said, they were indeed simple.

The total duration of the Primary Ten Nations Battlefield is six hours.

Random zones within the battlefield will spawn Level 40 Boss-level monsters.

And,

these monsters are protected by arrays upon spawning and cannot be killed.

Only after thirty minutes have passed since entering the battlefield can they be slain.

Killing a regular Level 40 Boss has a chance to drop a "Legendary Exclusive Weapon."

The first kill of any Boss in the entire battlefield will 100% drop one finished "Legendary Exclusive Weapon."

And,

as soon as any Boss-level monster is slain, a battlefield-wide announcement will be made, along with its coordinates.

At the sixth hour,

there is a chance a terrifying Level 50 Ultimate Boss will randomly spawn within the battlefield!

Killing this Boss has a chance to drop the sole core material for forging a Forbidden-class Exclusive Weapon: Divine Forge Stone!

The Level 50 Ultimate Boss spawns with low probability.

It once went over a decade without appearing at all, which is why Forbidden-class Exclusive Weapons are so rare.

Thinking of this,

Lin Mo stretched lazily.

Right now, he had no idea where the other seven nations were.

So, for now, he'd go find a Boss to farm.

Wait half an hour for the protection to fade, then claim a quick first kill.

After killing it, the battlefield-wide announcement would reveal its coordinates—then he'd just wait right there.

After all, the Ten Nations Battlefield was this vast.

If he tried to find 140 people by himself, he'd be searching until the end of time.

It'd be a real pain.

Just as Lin Mo made his decision.

He felt a fuzzy sensation on his lower leg.

Something was gently rubbing against his pant leg.

Hmm?

Lin Mo lowered his head.

He saw that Da Bai, at some point, had silently moved to his feet.

At this moment, Da Bai was covered in a layer of light blue fur.

In its eyes shone a sharpness of heavenly majesty that could not be offended, as it turned its head to the other side.

However.

The tail behind it was wagging.

Watching this scene.

The corner of Lin Mo's mouth lifted slightly.

"Yo?"

"Our noble and cold Thunder King, why do your legs seem so unsteady today, and why are you leaning against me?"

Hearing Lin Mo's teasing.

Da Bai's body suddenly stiffened, and the tail behind it instantly stretched straight.

In the skill bar.

【The cold voice of 'Thunder Strike' rang out.】

【"Impudent."】

【"This King merely feels the wind direction here is somewhat off; I am simply blocking the wind for you."】

Hearing this pale and weak excuse.

Before Lin Mo could speak.

The other few skills in the skill bar could no longer hold back.

【'Fireball' burst into wild laughter.】

【"Hahahaha! Blocking the wind?! This Lord is dying of laughter!"】

【"Third Brother, can you at least make up a reason with a bit more heart?"】

【"Your tail is wagging so hard it's about to take off! Do you think we are all blind?"】

【"If you want Master to pet you, just say it! Why pretend to be a big-tailed wolf!"】

【'Ice Spike' also mercilessly activated its mockery mode.】

【"Exactly!"】

【"Clearly wanting it desperately in your heart, yet still pretending to look so high and mighty."】

【"Master, look how hypocritical it is! This Young Lady is the most sincere~"】

Even the usually honest and simple Earth Shield Technique could not hold back this time.

【'Earth Shield' cautiously interjected a word.】

【"Um... Third Brother..."】

【"Actually..."】

【"It's not shameful if you want Master to pet you... I... I want it too..."】

Being publicly exposed by the whole family.

【'Thunder Strike' flew into a rage of shame.】

【"Shut up!"】

【"You bunch of foolish things!"】

【"This King said I am blocking the wind, so I am blocking the wind!"】

Lin Mo shook his head and laughed, then squatted down directly.

Both hands reached out.

"Yi!"

Da Bai let out a cry of surprise.

Just as it wanted to struggle.

Lin Mo's fingers had already slid to its chin and began scratching rhythmically.

Instantly.

Da Bai's tense body went soft, and its eyes narrowed into two slits.

In the skill bar.

【"No... stop quickly!"】

【"This King... This King is the incarnation of Heavenly Punishment..."】

【"Hmm... a bit to the left..."】

【"No! What am I saying?! Stop!"】

【"This damn shell... why is it so fragile?!"】
