Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain

Chapter 2752: Chapter 2751: Soldiers Tournament!

At the evening banquet of the War Department, the lights were dazzling and the voices were boiling. Amidst the clinking of glasses, laughter and cheerful voices were never-ending.

Lin Dong shuttled through the crowd, enjoying this rare reunion time. His gaze inadvertently swept over a few familiar figures, warming his heart.

They were Dragon Group members, Ye Linglong, Xiao Hongyu, Ah Niu, Chen Pohu, and others. They were sitting together at one table, talking and laughing, with especially admiring and respectful looks towards Lin Dong.

They were the ones who entered the extraterrestrial battlefield with Lin Dong.

In just one month, they seemed to have undergone a transformation.

Lin Dong’s gaze lingered on Ye Linglong for a moment. She was dressed in a powerful outfit, looking spirited with an indescribable heroism in her brows.

Remembering when they first entered the extraterrestrial battlefield, Ye Linglong was just stepping into the threshold of an Earth Realm martial artist as an Early Stage Grandmaster. Yet now, she had broken through to the realm of a Second Stage Grandmaster.

Even by the strict standards of the War Department, this growth speed was astonishing.

”The five elements energy of the extraterrestrial battlefield is really extraordinary,” Lin Dong sighed in his heart, realizing the special environment here undoubtedly provided excellent conditions for martial artists’ cultivation.

Ye Linglong’s rapid progress in such a short period, besides her own relentless efforts and exceptional talent, the dense and almost tangible five elements energy of the battlefield played a crucial role.

Then looking at Xiao Hongyu, Ah Niu, and Chen Pohu, they also showed remarkable progress.

Xiao Hongyu reached the peak Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, while Ah Niu was in the late stage. As for Chen Pohu, once considered unremarkable in the Dragon Group, he now emitted an impressive aura.

Clearly, through the trials of the extraterrestrial battlefield, each of them had grown unprecedentedly.

Lin Dong slowly approached, nodding with approval, and said laughingly:

”Ye Linglong, Ah Niu, Xiao Hongyu, Chen Pohu, you all progressed quickly. It seems the extraterrestrial battlefield is indeed a good training ground.”

The four people smiled brightly upon hearing this, a joy of being recognized and affirmed.

Xiao Hongyu, particularly excited, stood up respectfully and saluted:

”Thank you, War God Lin, for nurturing and encouraging us. We will surely continue to strive, fulfilling the expectations!”

Lin Dong gently patted her shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement and anticipation: ”I believe in you, the road ahead is still long.”

Suddenly, his gaze turned to Ye Linglong.

Ye Linglong also looked at him with admiration, yet in her eyes, there was something indescribable.

Lin Dong remembered some things with Ye Linglong.

He still recalled, long ago during the time in Jianghai, he and Ye Linglong had made a bet.

The wager said she owed Lin Dong something.

It seemed that even now, it hadn’t been fulfilled.

Both of them perhaps thought of that bet, and Ye Linglong’s face inexplicably turned red.

And Lin Dong fell into silence.

While Lin Dong was lost in thought, nearby Heavenly Envoy Dugu Tian suddenly said: ”Lin Tian, these Dragon Group members are really good seedlings!”

”They are practically the future of our Dragon Country War Department. Although young, they all have extraordinary strength and show astonishing potential.”

”Their future achievements, at least, are estimated to be at the War God level. There’s a high chance they can enter the Hall of Fame in the War Department. They even have the opportunity to break through to Heavenly Realm martial artist, to become someone like me, the Heavenly Envoy...”

Dugu Tian’s evaluation of Ye Linglong and the others was very high.

Especially Ye Linglong!

He thought Ye Linglong had a great chance of breaking through to the Heavenly Realm martial artist.

Upon hearing Dugu Tian’s praise, Ye Linglong and the others naturally showed another round of respectful salutations.

”Thank you for the approval, Heavenly Envoy!”

Dugu Tian nodded and then waved, indicating everyone to be calm.

Then his gaze turned to Lin Dong, his tone carrying gravity: ”This time, in the first battle of the War Department competition, they will be our main force.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong’s expression immediately became focused. He knew the ”they” Dugu Tian referred to were Ye Linglong, Xiao Hongyu, Ah Niu, Chen Pohu, and other Dragon Group members.

Regarding the first battle of the War Department competition, Lin Dong was filled with curiosity and anticipation. He was eager to learn more details.

”Senior Dugu, can you elaborate on the specific situation of this first battle in the War Department competition?” Lin Dong asked earnestly and expectantly.

Dugu Tian smiled gently, seemingly expecting Lin Dong’s question all along. He slowly began to explain to Lin Dong: ”The first battle of the War Department competition is called the Warrior Ranking Battle.”

”Simply put, it’s where each country’s War Department selects warriors of various strength levels from low to high for a showdown.”

”These warriors’ strength ranges from Non-Martial Artist soldiers, followed by Gold-Realm Martial Artist, Martial Arts Master, Martial Arts Grandmaster, Half-Step Earth Realm martial artist, up to Martial Arts Grandmaster.”

”Among them, each country selects one Non-Martial Artist to compete.

”For Gold-Realm Martial Artist, each country selects four, with strengths being initial stage, middle stage, late stage, and peak stage of Gold-Realm Martial Artist.”

”Similarly for Martial Arts Master and Martial Arts Grandmaster, they select four individuals for each stage: early, middle, late, and peak.”

”As for the Martial Arts Grandmaster level, they choose one individual from First Stage Grandmaster, Second Stage Grandmaster, Third Stage Grandmaster, Fourth Stage Grandmaster, and Fifth Stage Grandmaster for each segment to compete.”

”These representatives with equal strength will compete fiercely on the same battlefield to determine the strongest in the same realm.”

”The strongest will receive the title of Soldier King in their realm, which is the highest recognition of their strength. Besides competing for Soldier King, the top three will also gain scores.”

”The final rankings are determined based on the scores from each country’s performance in various realms.”

”More scores mean a higher ranking, indicating the stronger overall power of the country’s War Department.”

”Of course, this is just the first battle of the competition and doesn’t decide the final rankings. Yet, it’s extremely important, accounting for a third of the whole. If in this Warrior Ranking Battle, our Dragon Country War Department can claim first place, it will profoundly affect our overall ranking... In previous competitions, our ranking was at the bottom. Sigh...”

Upon reaching here, Dugu Tian couldn’t help but sigh.

Meanwhile, Lin Dong was deeply engrossed, realizing this was not merely a simple competition but a comprehensive display of each country’s War Department’s strength.

And Ye Linglong and the Dragon Group members would represent the Dragon Country War Department, carrying the responsibility of fighting for honor.

”So, has the list of participants for our Dragon Country War Department been confirmed?” Lin Dong asked, his eyes shining with determination and anticipation.

Dugu Tian nodded, with pride in his tone: ”Yes, Ye Linglong, Ah Niu, Xiao Hongyu, and others will represent each strength level in the battle. They’ve undergone the baptism of the extraterrestrial battlefield, and their strength has made qualitative leaps. I believe they will certainly win honor for our Dragon Country War Department in the Warrior Ranking Battle.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Dong felt a surge of enthusiasm within.

He knew that this Warrior Ranking Battle was crucial for the Dragon Country War Department.

This battle must be won!

Thinking of this, Lin Dong said: ”Senior Dugu, could you have all the participants stand out? I have some words to say to them, and some things to give.”

Upon hearing this, Dugu Tian’s eyes brightened.
