The time was frozen at 9:50 PM.
According to the rules, if you don’t reach the Realm of Gods by 10 PM, it will be considered a forfeit, and you’ll be disqualified from the competition.
However, at this moment, Zhang Yue was nowhere to be seen!
Just as the contestants from the Dragon Kingdom were wondering what had happened to Zhang Yue, suddenly, all ninety-nine contestants received a system notification—
“Ding~ Please note: Contestants from [Japan] have issued a challenge to [Dragon Kingdom]. Please vote on whether to accept!”
Under normal circumstances, in the World Finals, the system randomly matches two countries for the competition.
If one side issues a challenge and the other side accepts, then the specified pair can start the match.
As they received the challenge notification, they saw the contestants from Japan circle around the Realm of Gods and arrive outside the Dragon Kingdom’s base!
At this moment, disdain filled the eyes of each of them.
They openly taunted and mocked the contestants from the Dragon Kingdom:
“What’s wrong? Are you hesitating? Afraid to accept our challenge?”
“Before the competition, we kept hearing you Dragon Kingdom people boasting online about defeating us in the finals. Why are you chickening out now?”
“Damn! That’s funny, as if we’re afraid of them! Even if they didn’t challenge us, we would have challenged them!” Someone from the Dragon Kingdom couldn’t hold back and was about to click to accept the challenge, but Chen Long stopped them.
“Japan is ranked fifth in the world, and they have a Legendary Grade Jedi Knight among them. Their overall strength isn’t much weaker than ours.”
Chen Long analyzed rationally, “We’re missing a person now, and it’s our strongest one. In such a high-level match, even missing just one person can have a huge impact in the end!”
“In this situation, accepting their challenge would put us at a disadvantage. If we go with random matching, aside from Japan, Lighthouse, Cold, and Russia, we can easily handle the other countries.”
As Chen Long finished speaking, everyone fell into a dilemma.
Meanwhile, Inoue Ono was egging on those around him, continuing to mock.
“If you’re scared, just say it. We can understand your feelings, afraid of being defeated by us on the field and losing face for your Dragon Kingdom!”
“But honestly, you Dragon Kingdom people have no face to begin with in our Japan! So even if you lose, it doesn’t matter, hahaha!”
Just as the contestants from Japan continued their mockery, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd of Dragon Kingdom contestants: “I accept your challenge!”
Looking over, they saw a man in a robe, a Beast Tamer, stepping out from the crowd.
“Zhang Yue!”
Seeing the unexpected appearance of Zhang Yue, everyone around was filled with joy.
Tian Xin’er quickly asked, “Zhang Yue, where did you go? Why are you so late?”
“Just a minor issue.”
Zhang Yue’s gaze was fixed on the Japanese contestants.
“We were planning to do this anyway, so it suits me just fine.”
With that, Zhang Yue selected [Accept] from the options in front of him!
Zhang Yue’s appearance inspired everyone present.
They all chose to accept the challenge!
At this moment, Inoue Ono and Dafan Tong, who were up against them, were somewhat panicked.
“Nani? What’s going on? Zero… how could he have returned so quickly…”
Dafan Tong looked at Inoue Ono, a bit nervous, and said, “Ono-kun, should we withdraw the challenge? Even you said that Zero is formidable, so he might really be formidable!”
Though surprised by Zhang Yue’s return, Inoue Ono wasn’t too afraid. He snorted lightly and said, “I can handle Zero evenly, and you guys can take care of the others. We can still easily beat the Dragon Kingdom!”
“No worries, proceed with the challenge as usual, and we’ll crush them on the field!”
Just as he finished speaking, the system notification sounded—
“Ding~ After voting, [Dragon Kingdom] has accepted your challenge. The match between [Japan] and [Dragon Kingdom] will begin at 10 AM tomorrow. Contestants, please prepare!”
Inoue Ono glared at Zhang Yue and said fiercely, “Just wait, tomorrow, I’ll personally defeat you on the field!”
With that, Inoue Ono led his people away.
Over here, Tian Yu quickly asked, “Brother-in-law, what happened to you?”
Watching the backs of Inoue Ono and his group leaving, Zhang Yue casually said, “It’s nothing, just those clowns coming to bother me again.”
It turned out that before entering the Realm of Gods, Zhang Yue received a Feixin message from someone impersonating his parents, threatening him to go to the Tenth World for a meeting.
The original owner of Zhang Yue’s body had no parents, so he naturally knew what the other party’s intentions were.
With a nonchalant attitude, he went to the meeting.
Sure enough, when he arrived, he was ambushed by the same group of assassins who had previously collaborated with Liu Sheng!
Over a hundred people surrounded Zhang Yue, not attacking him directly, but simply preventing him from leaving.
Zhang Yue understood that their goal was to make him kill them, thus putting him in a Red Name status, unable to enter the Realm of Gods.
They assumed Zhang Yue couldn’t clear over ten thousand Sin points in such a short time!
But they underestimated Zhang Yue’s monster-killing ability.
With a wave of his hand, he instantly wiped out those hundred-plus assassins, and in less than an hour, he easily cleared over ten thousand Sin points!
“They assumed you wouldn’t make it to the competition, so they challenged us!” Tian Xin’er couldn’t help but laugh, “When you showed up just now, their expressions were priceless! They’re probably regretting challenging us now!”
At this point, Xu Bei said, “But Japan’s overall strength is strong, so we shouldn’t be careless.”
“Just a small island nation,” Zhang Yue said, “we can handle them easily.”
Time quickly flew by to the next morning at 10 AM.
Due to the finals requiring contestants to start live broadcasts, all major live broadcast rooms were packed.
Under the watchful eyes of many, the match officially began!
“Ding~ Dragon Kingdom contestants, please note: Your opponent this time is Japan. The first round of the match will begin in one minute. Please freely allocate your teams!”
The match was divided into three rounds.
The first round: Monster Killing Contest.
Both sides will send 30 people to a shared competition map.
In this map, contestants are prohibited from PKing each other and can only earn points by killing monsters. Simply put, it’s about who kills more monsters and scores higher!
The second round: Relay Battle.
Both sides send 30 people (those who participated in the first round cannot participate in the second round) to a shared competition map. Each side selects one person to PK, and when defeated, they switch to another, until one side is completely eliminated!
The third round: Endless Slaughter.
Both sides send the remaining 40 people to a shared competition map, where they engage in slaughter. Each kill on the enemy side earns points until the match time ends.
During the team allocation phase, someone in the live broadcast room suggested, “Zero God is great at killing monsters, so he should focus on the first round! If we can pull ahead in this round, even if we perform poorly in the next two rounds, we should still win!”
Immediately, someone else countered, “He’s not only great at killing monsters, but also at killing people! I think we should save Zero God for the third round. Wouldn’t he be a demon-slaying machine? Hiahiahia~”
Chen Long said, “High damage for the first round, strong PK ability for the second round, and high team coordination for the third round. Everyone, consider your strengths!”
At this moment, seeing Xu Bei and Chen Long seriously allocating the teams, Zhang Yue said, “I’ll handle the third round. You guys can play however you want in the first two rounds, no matter how poorly you perform, I can turn it around.”
“Goodness!” a contestant exclaimed, “With the big shot saying that, I can just play blindly!”
“I’ll fight them with one hand!”
“I’ll use my feet to fight them!”
“Getting more and more ridiculous…”
Soon, the match began.
In the first round, the thirty contestants selected by both sides were teleported to a random wild map: the Monster Beast Mountain Range!
As the professionals from both sides entered the field, when the ten-minute countdown began, they each started hunting the monsters roaming the Monster Beast Mountain Range!
