At level twenty, he’s already achieved this…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the middle-aged man’s voice trembled slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“S…Sanben-san, I’ve given you everything—the complete dossiers of every student in this year’s Dragon Order Class, along with their battle videos…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You promised that if I handed these over, you’d release my wife and daughter… and pay me fifty million, and get my whole family to Ying Country…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Please, hurry and arrange it! If the higher-ups find out, it’s death! I can’t stay in Dragon Nation any longer! Every second is torture!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanben Kenichi stood up with a smile, walked behind the man, placed his hands on his shoulders, and spoke gently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Chen, don’t rush.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Dragon Nation people often say: those who understand the times are the true heroes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve decisively abandoned those vague ideals of national duty for the sake of your family’s safety.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This spirit of sacrificing the many for the few is truly moving.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man’s tense nerves eased slightly, and he forced a smile:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Sanben-san, for understanding. I was forced into it—man must look out for himself, or heaven and earth will destroy him…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pfft—!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive hand suddenly pierced through his back and burst out from his chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ugh… gurgle…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The middle-aged man’s eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Sanben Kenichi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blood instantly soaked his clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanben Kenichi pulled out his blood-slicked right hand, grimaced, and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the blood away; his smile turned cold:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I do admire your compliance—but I truly despise traitors.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Selling out your own country? Disgusting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As for your family…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanben Kenichi tossed the bloodstained handkerchief onto the still-twitching corpse and said calmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Families should be whole—your wife and daughter will join you soon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The light in the middle-aged man’s eyes faded rapidly, filled with endless regret, as he collapsed into a pool of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling, the leader of the Killer Shark Guild who had been watching from the sofa, frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he himself was a man who killed without blinking, Sanben Kenichi’s twisted behavior still unsettled him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Someone, take this trash away and clean the floor.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling waved his hand; two subordinates immediately entered and dragged the corpse out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling spoke in a low voice:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sanben, you’ve got what you wanted—get out now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The crackdown is tight. If anyone finds out our Killer Shark Guild has ties to your Ying Country, I won’t have nine heads enough to lose.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanben Kenichi smiled indifferently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Zhao, don’t be so tense.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s unavoidable—your Dragon Nation is too closed off; networks and communications can’t transmit data out. Only human couriers can carry it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Sanben Kenichi’s eyes flashed with cold light:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the upcoming World Arena, our Ying Country and your Dragon Nation have been placed in the same battlefield.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This data is vital to our Empire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If we fully understand the Dragon Order Class’s hidden cards, it will be a tremendous advantage for our Empire’s ‘Oni Corps.’”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling snorted impatiently:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s your problem—don’t drag me into it. Get out now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The door opened, and a mild-looking man walked in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling glanced at him, frowning: “Third Brother? Aren’t you guarding the Broken Rock Wasteland? Why are you back?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man didn’t waste words, reporting:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Big Brother, we ran into Dragon Guard’s Xu Wenchang—he’s leading Dragon Order Class students to clear a dungeon there, and drove us off.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dragon Fist Xu Wenchang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling froze. “Why would the Dragon Order Class come here to clear dungeons? Aren’t there enough dungeons at Beijing University?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man replied solemnly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director, I recall there’s a temple dungeon’s activation coordinate in the Broken Rock Wasteland. I think they came for that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is that so?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling’s eyes flickered with greed, but he quickly suppressed it. “If it’s Dragon Order Class, forget it. Don’t provoke them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was brutal, but he knew his limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bullying low-profile cultivators was one thing—but provoking the Dragon Guard’s Dragon Order Class? That was pure suicide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside him, Sanben Kenichi turned his laptop screen toward the man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are these the students you encountered?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man leaned closer, studied the screen for a few seconds, then nodded firmly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, those are them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving confirmation,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanben Kenichi gently closed the laptop and looked at Zhao Tianling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Zhao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I recall correctly, your guild’s warehouse still has some ‘Intrusion Scrolls,’ right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At these words, Zhao Tianling’s eyelid twitched violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He eyed Sanben Kenichi warily:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you want?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What else?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanben Kenichi spread his hands, as if stating the obvious:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Of course, kill them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling shot up from the sofa:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you insane? That’s the Dragon Order Class! Outside, Xu Wenchang is guarding them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t drag me into your suicide—I’m not ready to die yet!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Zhao Tianling’s rage, Sanben Kenichi remained calm:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Zhao, if you help me kill that top combatant of the Dragon Order Class, this achievement alone could earn me a noble title in the Empire.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling snorted. “That’s your glory—what’s it to me? I know if I move, I’ll be dead by tomorrow!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Sanben Kenichi’s lips curled slightly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Director Zhao, even I, a man from Ying Country, know that Dragon Fist Xu Wenchang is infamous as a killing god, notorious for his hatred of evil.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now he knows you’ve been forcing sales and bullying the weak in the Broken Rock Wasteland—do you really think you can survive?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanben Kenichi sneered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Once his students finish the dungeon, I guarantee he’ll turn around and lead the Dragon Guard to massacre your Killer Shark Guild.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as he finished speaking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling’s face turned deathly pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he didn’t want to admit it, he knew Sanben Kenichi was right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That old bastard Xu Wenchang couldn’t stand this kind of thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t acted yet only because he was focused on his students’ dungeon run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he was free…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would be a death sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sanben Kenichi continued:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But if you help me kill those students…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have a special evacuation route—I can take you and your core members to Ying Country.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guarantee you’ll not only survive in our country, but enjoy wealth and luxury beyond what you could spend in ten lifetimes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling stared at him without blinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The image of that middle-aged man’s gruesome death still burned before his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why should I believe you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Heh, Chairman Zhao, you have no choice—wait for the Dragon Guard to come knocking, or trust me and take a gamble. Decide for yourself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Yamamoto Kenichi sat back down, watching Zhao Tianling with keen interest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling fell silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Japanese man was right—he was trapped in a dead end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter where he ran, as long as he remained within Dragon Country, the Dragon Guard would surely kill him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, there was only one path: escape Dragon Country!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Long silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling suddenly lifted his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fuck it, let’s do it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yamamoto Kenichi, if you break your promise, I’ll kill you myself.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamamoto Kenichi smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Zhao, trust me—once we succeed in killing those students, I will take you to our country.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, better be.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling snorted, then turned to the man beside him. “Third Brother, what’s the level restriction for that temple dungeon?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother had clearly already checked—he answered instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman, 20 to 25 levels.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling nodded and said:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thankfully, the Chaos Entry Scroll doesn’t require proximity to the dungeon—just using it within the zone reveals all nearby open dungeons. Otherwise, dealing with that old bastard would’ve been impossible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, his eyes red, he spoke rapidly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Gather every elite in the guild between levels 20 and 25. Equip them with the best gear and weapons, and give them the finest potions.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Chaos Entry Scrolls are too rare—we only have three. Divide the team into three squads.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Use your most elite men to launch a wheeling assault!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Three scrolls, three waves of assassinations. With the best gear, I don’t believe we can’t kill him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, Big Brother!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Brother saluted and turned to run.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianling called him back, his voice icy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell the brothers—if anyone kills Lin Mo, I’ll reward him one hundred million. I’ll take him to Ying Country to live in luxury!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry! Get them inside before those bastards clear the dungeon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Third Brother sprint away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yamamoto Kenichi smiled in satisfaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Chairman Zhao, a wise choice.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1540,"2026-06-21T04:41:49.398Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","1ed404766f16a29e32dc90a3b7037339dd61a75957a2ac5b9699963030ee4359","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-95","just-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--chapter-93",374,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjust-became-a-mage-and-my-skills-got-self-aware--cover.jpg"]
