Chapter 276: Full Map Alert: Dragon Country

Ying Country, Supreme Academy.

On the square outside the dungeon center.

Inoue Yu stood there, his gaze fixed on the dungeon above.

At that moment.

He felt someone approach from behind.

He turned around.

An elderly man with white hair but vigorous spirit was walking slowly toward him.

"Principal."

Inoue Yu immediately turned and bowed respectfully.

Principal Tokugawa gave a slight nod.

He walked to Inoue Yu's side and looked up at the front.

"Inoue."

"How are the Shinmutsuki doing?"

Inoue Yu reported at once:

"Principal, rest assured."

"The Oni God Clan is in excellent condition."

"They are the most gifted and hardest-working cohort I've ever trained."

"Each has reached Level 35, plus their issued Legendary-specific weapons."

"This time, on the Ten Nations Battlefield, they will make the Great Ying Empire's name resound across Blue Star."

Hearing this,

Principal Tokugawa's aged face broke into a satisfied smile.

"Good. Very good."

"Shinmutsuki is truly an exceptional talent."

"With him, our Ying Country's future is secure."

"If they can cleanly complete the Adams family's mission this time,"

"our Ying Country's standing in the Adams family's eyes will be even more solidified."

Tokugawa stroked his beard, his eyes filled with longing for the future.

"Principal."

Inoue Yu frowned.

"This time, Dragon Country is strange—only one person entered."

"Dragon Country has been making headlines lately, breaking countless Hell-level group dungeon records."

"So why, after the Ten Nations Battlefield opened, are they acting like a turtle hiding its head?"

"Heh."

Tokugawa chuckled softly.

He had already seen Dragon Country's entry status.

"Dragon Country isn't foolish."

"They must know this Ten Nations Battlefield is extremely dangerous."

"If I were them, I'd do the same."

"After all, when the Ten Nations Battlefield opens, someone must enter."

"Even just one person is enough."

"If no one enters, the boss inside will Abyssalize, strengthening manyfold and breaking through the dungeon's spatial barrier to descend into the real world."

Upon hearing this, Inoue Yu shook his head.

"It seems,"

"Dragon Country is determined to protect that dungeon-specialized class."

"They'd rather forfeit all resources from this Ten Nations Battlefield, endure global ridicule as cowards,"

"than lose that one person."

Inoue Yu sighed.

"But I can understand—it's rare to find such a talent."

"As long as he lives, he can help Dragon Country claim every dungeon record going forward."

This long-term strategic value is far greater than the rewards of a single Primary Ten Nations Battlefield.

Tokugawa sneered.

"Dragon Country's calculations are sharp."

"But,"

"the Adams family won't be happy about this."

"Watching Dragon Country monopolize every dungeon record, the Adams family's fury will eventually explode."

Tokugawa looked up at the sky.

"It seems the world is about to undergo a major upheaval."

"A storm is coming."

Inoue Yu's expression tightened.

"Principal, what should our Ying Country do?"

Tokugawa answered without hesitation:

"What else can we do?"

"Stick closely to the Adams family."

"Dragon Country is strong, but before the Adams family's true monsters…"

"They're nothing."

"True enough."

Inoue Yu gave a light laugh.

Tokugawa waved his hand, glanced at the time, and changed the subject:

"Enough. The kill protection countdown is almost over. I wonder who'll claim the first kill."

At these words,

Inoue Yu lifted his chin, beaming with pride:

"Principal, it has to be our Oni God Clan who takes the first kill!"

"Hahahaha…"

Hearing this, Tokugawa burst into loud laughter.

…

Inside the Ten Nations Battlefield, Eastern Ruins.

"Shit!"

Kim Tae-sung slammed a fist hard against a nearby boulder.

Electric arcs surged wildly over his entire body.

Just now,

he had seen Lin Mo's reply.

"If you don't come, you're a dog?"

Just a few simple words.

They sent Kim Tae-sung's blood pressure soaring.

He was alone—what gave him the right?

Beside him,

Li Zhiyan was stomping in rage.

"Oppa Tae-sung!"

"This Dragon Country guy is too arrogant!"

"Who does he think he is?!"

"Just a death-seeker sent by a cowardly nation!"

"Oppa Tae-sung, let's go kill him right now! I want to see you pull out his spine!"

Hearing Li Zhiyan's words,

Kim Tae-sung took a deep breath.

He stared ahead at the one-eyed giant demon, bound within a sealing array, wielding a massive spiked club.

"Don't rush."

Kim Tae-sung watched the countdown, sneering.

"Let him boast a few more minutes."

"Once we claim the first kill reward, I'll go find this Dragon Country guy myself."

"I'll break all his limbs, then hang him on the cliff of the Ten Nations Battlefield to dry."

Beside him.

Another boy immediately said:

"Jin Taicheng is right!"

"Once we get the first kill, we'll find that Dragon Country man and show him why the flowers are so red!"

Jin Taicheng lifted his head.

His gaze fixed on the blood-red array ahead.

【Kill Protection Timer: 10 seconds.】

"Everyone, ready!"

Jin Taicheng roared.

Beside him.

The boy immediately raised his weapon and shouted in agreement:

"Stay alert!"

"With Taicheng here, the first kill on the entire battlefield belongs to Great Han Nation!"

"What do those dwarves from Ying Country and those fools from Tianzhu Country have to match up against Taicheng?"

The other Great Han Nation prodigies around him also drew their specialized weapons.

"Great Han Nation is invincible!"

"Number One in the Universe! The first kill is ours!"

"With Taicheng here, we fear nothing!"

Listening to their praise,

Jin Taicheng's confidence swelled to its peak.

He stared at the timer on the array.

【3……2……1……】

【0!】

"Hum—!"

With a strange sound,

the blood-red array shattered violently, dissolving into a shower of red light.

"Die, you bastard!!!"

Jin Taicheng's eyes bulged, his muscles tensed, electric arcs flickering across his body.

The next second,

a notification appeared on everyone's interface.

【Congratulations to Dragon Country Zone: Lin Mo】
