As the system announced the list of opponents for the first round of the competition, the entire Dragon Kingdom breathed a sigh of relief.
It was well-known that in today’s world, the strength of a country is determined by the number and power of its Otherworld Professionals.
The most straightforward way to rank countries is based on the annual Professional Competition points.
And Austria is just a small country ranked 23rd on the World Glory Points leaderboard.
Compared to the Dragon Kingdom, which is ranked fourth in the world, they’re not even in the same league!
Undoubtedly, in this round, the Dragon Kingdom could defeat Austria with their eyes closed!
Although defeating a higher-ranked strong country is more satisfying and prestigious than crushing a lower-ranked weak country, ultimately, winning the match is the most important thing!
Facing off.
When the Austrian participants saw that their opponent for this round was the world’s top five powerhouse, the Dragon Kingdom, their morale plummeted even before the match began!
Looking across the field, among the hundred Austrian participants, there wasn’t a single Legendary Grade Professional, and even among the Epic Grade Professionals, there were quite a few Rare Grade ones mixed in…
This lineup, formed by their country’s top hundred experts, was simply unbearable to watch…
As the match entered the countdown phase.
The strongest among the Austrian participants, the Level 485, Eighth Transition Epic Grade Phantom Assassin—Rido Boone William, spoke up, “Brothers… let’s just do our best! Winning would be a miracle.”
Ding!
The match began.
Each side selected thirty people from their lineup.
The system randomly matched them to the map [Dream Castle], and the participants were teleported into the map to start hunting the fantasy beasts that roamed the Dream Castle!
All the fantasy beasts here were Level 500 Lord monsters.
The Austrian participants, ranging from Level 480 to 490, struggled even to fight them.
In contrast, the Dragon Kingdom, with the Level 500, Ninth Transition Legendary Grade [Seraph] leading the charge, and the rest all being Level 490 Epic Grade experts, slaughtered the fantasy beasts like chopping vegetables!
So the final result was predictable, with the Dragon Kingdom winning a resounding victory!
The second stage of the competition quickly commenced.
Each side selected another thirty participants to engage in a round-robin battle in the system-randomized [War Sanctuary].
As a result, Moonmark took the stage and never left, single-handedly eliminating all thirty opponents!
The remaining 29 participants from the Dragon Kingdom didn’t even get a chance to act, securing an easy victory.
In the final third stage, the remaining forty participants from each side engaged in a PK match in the [Tropical Rainforest].
The Ice Emperor went on a rampage!
The final result was no surprise.
“Ding~ The match has ended. Congratulations to the [Dragon Kingdom] for defeating [Austria] with a total score of 3985 points to 1328 points!”
As the match concluded.
In the Dragon Kingdom’s live broadcast room, many viewers couldn’t help but sigh:
“I’m not looking down on their country, but honestly, even if we picked a hundred-member team from a top guild in our Dragon Kingdom, they’d be stronger than their national team…”
“So, this result was expected~”
“I’m so proud to be born in a strong country like the Dragon Kingdom! I love my motherland!!”
“This thrilling match got me so excited that I picked up my brother, who was sitting on the sofa playing King of Glory, and gave him a good beating!”
“Moonmark is amazing! Truly the number one micro-operation god of our Dragon Kingdom, absolutely yyds!”
“The Ice Emperor is also incredible! He went on a rampage in the Tropical Rainforest, so cool!”
“My Seraph god is the most powerful, okay!”
The first round of the competition ended, but this was just the beginning.
The finals consist of five rounds.
Each round is randomly matched by the system with different countries.
So, for the second round tomorrow, the Dragon Kingdom’s opponent is unlikely to be Austria again!
Of course, the victory in the first round was a cause for national celebration.
Dragon Kingdom, Tianjing.
Eighth World.
Zhang Yue closed the live broadcast and continued hunting ghosts, completing World Tasks.
The next morning at ten, the second round of the competition arrived as scheduled.
This time, the Dragon Kingdom was matched against the world-ranked seventh [Indra Kingdom].
This opponent had some weight.
However, the Dragon Kingdom still easily defeated them and secured victory!
After all, historically, besides the Beacon Country, Russia, and the Frozen Land, no other country has been able to defeat the Dragon Kingdom in the Professional Competition!
This is because these three empires each have a Mythic Grade Professional holding the fort!
Of course, it’s not absolute.
Sometimes, when facing these three empires, the Dragon Kingdom can win.
It’s just that they lose more often than they win.
The Dragon Kingdom doesn’t lose in combat power; they lose in the innate strength of the professions!
Mythic Grade professions are too powerful!
Completely incomparable to Legendary Grade professions.
Following the daily round mechanism.
On the third day, Dragon Kingdom vs. Italy, Dragon Kingdom won!
On the fourth day, Dragon Kingdom vs. Pakistan, Dragon Kingdom won!
The four consecutive victories lifted the spirits of the entire nation to a euphoric high!
Besides the Dragon Kingdom, other countries also experienced wins and losses.
And the points and rankings of countries worldwide began to undergo subtle changes.
Television news reported the tense, exciting, and thrilling competition information daily.
“According to reports, in today’s match, Farman defeated Pakistan, successfully surpassing Pakistan in this crucial match, ranking 13th in the world!”
“Latest news: Japan has won four consecutive matches so far, earning a large number of Glory Points, and remains firmly in fifth place in the world, just 0.52% points behind our Dragon Kingdom!”
“According to statistics, the Dragon Kingdom currently has a points ratio of 96.15% (calculated based on the first-place points). If they can increase the ratio by 0.2% to 0.3% in tomorrow’s final round, they are expected to surpass the Frozen Land and become third in the world!”
Night fell.
The city was brightly lit.
In Tianjing, at a skewer shop, a group from the Temple of Destiny was drinking and eating skewers together.
“So, our Dragon Kingdom is still very strong! Even without a Mythic Grade Professional, the gap with the three major countries with Mythic Grade Professionals isn’t that big, and there’s even a trend of surpassing the Frozen Land!”
Ouyang Ling’er, munching on a chicken sausage, exclaimed, “I hope in tomorrow’s final round, Moonmark and the Ice Emperor will continue their efforts and surpass the Frozen Land to enter the world’s top three!”
Beside her, Wu Haotian was indifferent, “Actually, it’s not a big deal. After all, the competition each year calculates the total points of both old and new Professionals. Even if Senior Moonmark and the others fail, we still have our Zhang the Invincible!”
“When the old Professionals’ competition ends, it will be the turn of the new Professionals. Then we’ll see Zhang the Invincible dominate the world!”
At this moment, Li Yue glanced at Luo Chen, who was sitting quietly without eating or speaking, and said, “Among this year’s new Professionals entering the World Finals, isn’t there someone from our group?”
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone’s gaze focused on Luo Chen.
“Zhang the Invincible’s brilliance is so overwhelming that it overshadowed Junior Brother Luo Chen!”
“Luo Chen, keep it up! I believe in you!”
Luo Chen looked at Zhang Yue and said, “Senior, when will you forgive me?”
Zhang Yue, eating skewers, casually replied, “Depends on your performance in the competition.”
Luo Chen felt frustrated.
He thought: When will I be able to return to Hidden Dragon Mountain to see my master?
The next morning at ten.
The fifth round of the competition arrived as scheduled.
This round, the Dragon Kingdom faced a truly formidable opponent!
That was: the world’s third strongest country, the Frozen Land, with the Level 500, Ninth Transition Mythic Grade Professional Frost Mage King Kwon Jihyun holding the fort…
