Chapter 41 Choose Yao! Pshaw, choose Black Zetsu!! (3000-word chapter! More updates coming soon!!)

High-level conference room in Japan —

"Lord Heavenly Locust! Something terrible has happened!"

A middle-aged man with a similar hairstyle and wearing a kimono rushed into the Japanese conference room.

"Don't rush, talk things over slowly. Our Japanese team is in a great position right now."

Tianhuang picked up the tea lid, scraped it clean, and calmly sipped his tea.

Seeing that Tianhuang was very calm, the middle-aged man also took a few deep breaths and calmed down.

The Dragon Kingdom is only advancing against the third round, so it's not certain that it will run into our Eastern Kingdom!

Moreover, their team has two burdens. As long as we can replace Lu Yuan, the remaining Bai Xinyi and Li Ke are easy to handle.

After gathering his thoughts, he took a deep breath and said:

"Dragon Kingdom has advanced!"

"Pfft—" Tianhuang was startled and broke out in a cold sweat, spitting out the tea he had just drunk. He loudly questioned:

"What are you talking about! Didn't Daniel already wipe out two Dragon Kingdoms?!"

"Three of them against one person on the road, how could they lose?"

"All three are top-tier players!!"

Seeing Tianhuang's fury, the middle-aged man wiped the sweat pouring down his forehead and whispered, "Daniel did indeed transmigrate to the second level, but during his fight with Lu Yuan, he recklessly used his ultimate move, leaving the Japanese with no chakra."

"Baka yarou!!!"

"This Daniel is a complete idiot! Facing a one-of-a-kind, all-around player like Lu Yuan, he still dares to recklessly unleash his ultimate skill!!"

"They're just causing trouble for Japan!!!"

Upon hearing this, Tianhuang became so angry that he overturned the table in front of him, panting heavily.

"Go and use the national fortune points to deliver this message to Kawaguchi-kun and the others. They must take the Dragon Kingdom seriously and not underestimate them!"

"Although the Dragon Kingdom has two burdens, Lu Yuan's strength is enough to complete a three-way victory! We must impose more restrictions on the casting!!"

On the other side, the Japanese lounge—

A young man with naturally curly hair and dark skin appeared in the lounge, radiating blue light.

"A great success! We didn't encounter any particularly difficult opponents in this God's Arena."

"On the contrary, other strong teams have been constantly clashing together, so there probably aren't many strong teams left now."

"Hey, Kawaya, what's with that frown? You won, why are you looking so gloomy?"

The young man's name is Kurozumi Taichi. He is an indigenous person of Japan and was recruited into the national team because of his elegant operation and superb skills.

Kawai looked up at him and sighed, "The Dragon Kingdom has also advanced to the quarterfinals, and it was the Lu Yuan Fan San Ri Er Kingdom that advanced."

"What?!"

"Didn't Daniel develop some new strategy? How could he lose so badly?"

"It was precisely because of this so-called new tactic that the Germanic nation was powerless to resist and could only be slaughtered by them."

"Daniel has used up all his chakra."

The handsome, black-haired boy leaning against the wall said this.

Bai Mu Lin —

The strongest player in the true sense from Japan, with top-notch visual reaction, control reaction, awareness, positioning, and game understanding!

Before Lu Yuan appeared, he was ranked seventh among the top ten champions! The undisputed number one from Japan!

"I see. Did His Majesty the Heavenly Locust bring any other messages?" Kurotan Taichi didn't pay much attention, walked to the table, opened a can of oolong tea, and started drinking it by himself.

Kawatani Ichiro crossed his arms and said with a serious expression:

"His Majesty the Heavenly Locust has decreed that if we encounter the Dragon Kingdom team, we should be wary of ninjas whose names contain the word 'mask.' If we do, we should take them down first!"

Dragon Kingdom Rest Room

"Lu Yuan, open your mouth, Ah—"

Bai Xinyi held up a peeled grape and said to Lu Yuan.

"Ah—" Lu Yuan opened his mouth with a look of enjoyment, then ate it. "So sweet!"

"Right! This apple is good too, you should try it."

"Okay."

"It's really delicious! The rest area at the Arena of Gods is quite meaningful."

"Yeah, I think so too."

"oi! oi!! oi!!!"

Li Keke called out three times without receiving a reply, then raised his voice slightly: "You two, at least listen to me!!"

"Huh? What's wrong, Li Ke? Did you say anything just now?"

"Hey, pay attention to the screen!"

Li Ke sighed helplessly, realizing that he had previously thought of acting as a wingman for his brother.

If I ever have that thought again, I, Li Ke, will just eat it!

It's decided! I'm definitely going to apply for workers' compensation leave when I get back this time!!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan also looked at the screen, which was announcing the list of winners.

[The third round of the God's Arena has ended]

The winning countries are: the United States (the "Lighthouse Country"), South Korea (the "Kimchi Country"), North Korea (the "Northern Bear Country"), Japan (the "Eastern Japan"), and China (the "Dragon Country").

The fourth round of matchmaking will begin next.

【Matching】

The matching results are as follows:

[The Lighthouse Nation vs. the Sunset Nation]

[Korea vs. Brown and Orange Country]

[Northern Bear Country vs. Kangaroo Country]

Japan vs. China

"Wow, this match is interesting."

Upon seeing the matching results, Li Ke couldn't help but say something.

"That's really interesting. It's like a battle between sworn enemies; it's going to be quite exciting."

Lu Yuan also said casually, "To be honest, if I weren't also in the competition, I would really like to see Kimchi vs. Brown Orange."

Not only them, but also some viewers in China started making the memes and looking forward to it.

"You add salt, I add vinegar, the people of Chaoshan stay up late!"

"I think you're lovesick. [doge emoji]"

"."

"Damn! I got matched with brown and orange characters! But perfect! I'll take this opportunity and head north!!"

"Our great kimchi nation will definitely win, Korea!!"

"Taking down Brown and Orange is just a side effect; this time, our goal in South Korea is to be in the top three!!"

"."

This matching result also caused a great stir in South Korea.

However, Lu Yuan clearly didn't know, nor did he have time to know.

After the match list for the battles was matched in the Arena of Gods, the character selection phase immediately began.

The selection for the team competition involves randomly drawing one player from three players from each country.

However, the venue is in the lounge.

In other words, the lineup is basically decided by the team leader.

The latest novel is first published here!

Aside from a few exceptionally powerful nations that might experience internal strife during this phase, most other nations have their lineups determined by a fixed group of players.

"Xinyi, it's your turn this time."

Lu Yuan looked at Bai Xinyi, who was emitting a faint red glow, and said to her.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Bai Xinyi nodded solemnly, then turned her gaze to the screen.

【The Arena of Gods - Japan vs. China】

[The match has begun!]

[Position number one is being drawn.]

[Draw complete]

The player from Japan will be in position number one and will prioritize choosing a ninja.

Japanese Rest Room

"Oi, how do you plan to choose? The masked man??"

As Kurotan Taichi sipped oolong tea and ate yakitori, he asked Kawatani Ichiro a somewhat flippant question.

In the rest room of the God's Arena, the contestants can basically think of whatever food they want to eat and it will appear.

But it's really rare to see someone like him ordering food when the competition is about to start.

Kawaii Ichiro seemed to have gotten used to him and wasn't affected by him at all.

Instead, he frowned as he stared at the screen, then glanced at Bai Mulin.

At this moment, he was extremely conflicted.

His Majesty the Heavenly Locust made him choose any ninja with the word "mask" on their face first, his purpose being to help Lu Yuan obtain the ninja.

but

The three of them had never actually fought this ninja before, although they had gained some understanding of his skills through the latest information brought by the Heavenly Locust.

But just like when he faced Lu Yuan before, a ninja without proficiency, even if they try to exploit information asymmetry, will still...

Moreover, this time the ninja also unleashed the Hundred Eyes' special skill; he basically never lost when he got Uchiha Sasuke's [Susanoo]!

How should I choose?

If I disobey His Majesty the Heavenly Locust's orders and lose the competition, I might very well end up meeting Bushido!

As the team captain, Ichiro Kawatani was sweating profusely.

Having a boss who likes to micromanage can be really frustrating at times.

"Let's choose the mysterious masked man [Red Night Blade]. I've read the information that Tianhuang brought before. This ninja's first skill has a very fast start-up speed, and his second skill is almost zero-frame invincible."

"It's understandable that Lu Yuan was able to win this series before, thanks to his extremely overpowered holographic mechanism."

"Moreover, the other side might not even choose Uchiha Sasuke [Susanoo], and we might even be able to get both of them."

Hyakume Rin said to the hesitant Kawatani Ichiro.

Seeing this, he no longer hesitated and directly chose the mysterious masked man [Red Night Blade].

Dragon Kingdom Rest Room

"What bad luck! I'm paired with a Japanese devil again."

Looking at the casting countdown that had been going on for almost fifty seconds, Lu Yuan complained helplessly, "It's been dragging on for so long again this time, really... sigh."

Just as he sighed, the screen changed.

[The Japanese player chooses the ninja – S-rank mysterious masked man [Red Night Blade]]

Next, the Dragon Kingdom contestants will choose their ninjas.

[Select countdown start: 00:59]

【00: 58】

【.】

"They've finally defeated us."

Li Ke was also getting impatient and speechless.

Japan's casting speed is truly astounding, even among the top teams.

"This is a team competition, and Japan will definitely send Hyakume Rin as a backup."

"His best ninja is Uchiha Sasuke [Susanoo], should we lock him in and leave him no choice?"

Bai Xinyi looked at Lu Yuan with some hesitation.

Lu Yuan, however, had already made up his mind when he saw the ninja list, and said with a wicked grin:

"Of course, I'd choose Yao! Pfft, I misspoke."

"Of course, I'd choose Black Zetsu!!"
