Chapter 294: The Future of the Great Ying Empire Is Gone!

Hearing Lin Tianhao's arrogant declaration.

Nie Zhenguo's smile vanished.

He turned his head and looked deeply at Lin Tianhao.

He sighed.

"Eliminate the Adams family?"

"Old Lin."

"If that day ever comes, even if I drop dead right now, I'll die with peace."

Nie Zhenguo's gaze turned toward the distant west.

"We old folks crossing oceans to fight on their home turf? We're at a severe disadvantage."

"The cost of an expedition is still too high."

Nie Zhenguo shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness.

"Besides."

"The Adams family's foundations run deep."

"Deep in the abyss, a few terrifying old beasts still guard their stronghold."

Nie Zhenguo snorted coldly.

"Otherwise, we'd have slaughtered them long ago—why let them fiddle around with their Seven-Nation Alliance here on the Ten Thousand Nations Battlefield today?"

Hearing Nie Lao's words,

Guhe, Xu Wenchang, and the others around him fell silent.

Yes.

This was the current state of Blue Star.

No one could touch the other.

But Lin Tianhao was unmoved.

He sneered.

"Nie Lao."

"You said that's for our generation."

Lin Tianhao lifted his chin.

"Wait and see."

"One day, my son will set foot on their soil himself."

"I believe that day won't come too slowly."

Listening to Lin Tianhao's words,

Nie Zhenguo paused, then burst into laughter:

"Hahahaha!"

"Good!"

"Then I'll wait for that day!"

As the group laughed and chatted,

"Vibrating… vibrating…"

A phone buzz interrupted their conversation.

Lin Tianhao pulled out his phone.

The next instant,

His tone softened instantly.

"Hello, honey."

"Why are you calling me now? Missing me?"

On the other end of the line,

Su Wan's voice came through.

"Miss you? Pfft."

From her tone, it was clear she rolled her eyes.

"I just want to know—how's my son doing? Nothing happened, right?"

Hearing this,

Lin Tianhao grinned.

"What could happen?"

"The other seven nations are the ones in trouble—Han, Ying, and Tianzhu are already gone. I bet my son's chasing down the remaining four nations' prodigies all over the battlefield."

"Phew…"

Su Wan exhaled on the other end:

"Good."

"Alright, I'm hanging up."

With that,

the call ended.

Lin Tianhao chuckled and slipped his phone back into his pocket.

He turned his head.

And found Guhe, Xu Wenchang, Nie Lao, and the others staring at him with strange expressions.

"What are you all looking at?"

Lin Tianhao glared.

"Never seen a man who loves his wife before?!"

…

On the other side,

Ying Country, Supreme Academy.

Replica Central Plaza.

The entire plaza was eerily silent.

Thousands of Ying students stared fixedly at the aerial battle report panel.

【Ying Zone: 0/20】

"No…"

A trembling sob broke the silence.

A Ying girl clapped her hand over her mouth, eyes red.

"This can't be…"

"Shinmuetsu… Yanagibachi…"

"How could they die?"

Immediately,

the plaza erupted in wailing.

A stark contrast to the scene on the Dragon Country side.

"Baka!!!"

"This isn't real!"

"Shinmuetsu Kyō was our nation's strongest new student ever!"

"Yanagibachi Kenichi was a once-in-a-century genius!"

"They held their exclusive weapons! How could they be wiped out completely?!"

Students' eyes burned red.

"Who did this?! Who?!"

"Han Country is already dead!"

"Tianzhu Country died with them!"

"The Four-Nation Alliance? Impossible! Those losers don't have the strength!"

One boy's eyes bulged, fists clenched tight.

"It's Dragon Country!"

"Only Dragon Country!"

"They sent only one person!"

"He's not some specialized class—he alone wiped out our Oni Corps and Tianzhu Country!"

"We must avenge them! We must avenge the Oni Corps!"

Anger, despair, and fury spread wildly among the Ying students.

Their pride—the future of the Great Ying Empire—was shattered in this moment by that Dragon Country man.

At the front of the plaza,

the team leader of this year's Oni Corps, Inoue Yu.

He knelt on the ground, his entire body numb.

He stared in disbelief at the battle report above the dungeon rift.

"Gone…"

"Twenty people… all gone…"

On Inoue Yu's face was utter collapse and despair.

He knew well the strength of Kami no Tsuki Kyō's group.

How powerful must one be to wipe them out in an instant?

And even took out the Indian nation along with them…

Inoue Yu lifted his head and looked at Tokugawa, the principal, standing beside him.

"Principal…"

"Tell me… this isn't real."

"How could Kami no Tsuki and the others be wiped out so instantly? And together with India?"

Inoue Yu's voice was shrill.

"Is there really a level-40-or-below adventurer who can do this?"

"I… can't even imagine it…"

Tokugawa stood motionless.

He closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh.

"Inoue."

"I can't imagine it either."

Tokugawa let out a bitter laugh.

"But the truth is right before us."

"That man from Dragon Nation…"

"His strength may have utterly surpassed our understanding."

Hearing this, Inoue Yu nearly broke down.

"Are we just going to let this slide?"

His voice was agitated.

"Kami no Tsuki, Yanagi, and Aso… they're all our Great Eikō Empire's future hopes!"

"We…"

"We haven't had students this gifted in a long time."

"Just like that… gone?"

Inoue Yu leapt to his feet, eyes bloodshot.

"Principal!"

"Aren't we still hiding plenty of spies inside Dragon Nation?"

"They must pay!"

Upon hearing this, Tokugawa shook his head.

"They're gone."

"Yesterday, headquarters just confirmed—we can no longer contact any of our spies inside Dragon Nation."

"If I had to guess…"

"The Tian Shu Bureau has cleaned them all out."

At these words,

Inoue Yu froze.

All the spies… wiped out?

Then what now?

Do we sail across the ocean to Dragon Nation itself for revenge?

What's the difference between that and walking into death?

Inoue Yu gritted his teeth and slammed a fist hard against the nearby stone pillar.

"Are we really powerless to do anything?"

Tokugawa patted Inoue Yu's shoulder.

"Inoue, don't worry."

"This matter isn't for us to handle."

Inoue Yu turned to look at him.

Tokugawa's lips curled slightly, his gaze fixed toward the west.

"Don't forget—who devised this Seven-Nation Alliance's plan?"

"Right now, Lord Adams and the others are surely watching this Ten Thousand Nations Arena."

"If this Dragon Nation man can turn the tables on the Seven-Nation Alliance and walk out alive…"

"Who do you think will be the most desperate?"

"Lord Adams and the others…"

Inoue Yu responded instinctively.

Tokugawa nodded.

"Exactly."

"So, rest easy."

"Someone will avenge Kami no Tsuki and the others."
