Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain-Chapter 2751 - 2750: Return to the War Department Base!
Afterward, Lin Dong directly traversed the Azure Water Abyss.
Just one day before the large comparison of the War Department, Lin Dong finally, travel-weary, hurried back to the Dragon Country War Department Base.
The sunset’s afterglow cast a golden hue over the iron fortifications of the base, illuminating Lin Dong’s determined face.
As he stepped once more onto this familiar soil, Lin Dong’s gaze was irresistibly drawn to a shadow — it was the Heavenly Envoy Dugu Tian, standing at the edge of the training ground, his gaze deep as he stared into the distance.
Lin Dong stepped forward quickly, laughingly said, "Heavenly Envoy Senior, I’ve returned."
Dugu Tian turned around, his eyes scanning Lin Dong, the corner of his mouth curling into a smile, "Lin Tian, judging by your complexion, you must have lifted the Dead Soul Curse from yourself, right?"
His voice was gentle yet powerful, as if he could penetrate the human heart.
Lin Dong nodded, his smile carrying a touch of relief:
"Yes, I was fortunate, I’ve completely freed myself from the binding of the Dead Soul Curse."
"Congratulations, congratulations," Dugu Tian laughed loudly, his voice carrying sincere comfort.
"Recently, I’ve heard a lot about Lin Tian’s feats. Truly admirable, this time with Lin Tian present, the War God Ranking is practically a demotion strike."
Upon hearing this, Lin Dong quickly waved humbly:
"Heavenly Envoy is too generous, I still have much to learn. Could you perhaps explain the matters of this War Department competition in detail to me?"
"Of course," Dugu Tian’s expression turned serious and began to detailedly introduce the Extraterrestrial Battlefield and the War Department competitions of various countries to Lin Dong.
"The War Department competition is an important platform for countries to showcase their strength and select talents. It consists of three rankings: War God Ranking, Team Tournament, and Soldiers Ranking. As the War Department War God of the Dragon Country, the ranking battle you will participate in, is the War God Ranking."
"The competition for the War God Ranking is placed last."
"Scheduled to be held about seven days later. This ranking of the War God is highly valued by all countries because it not only relates to national honor but also concerns future discourse power on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield."
Dugu Tian’s tone carried a degree of weightiness, "There will even be many Heavenly Realm Martial Artists participating, their strength is extremely formidable. But of course, with Lin Tian’s strength, claiming first place should not be an issue."
"However, just fear unexpected incidents, I’ve also heard some inside information. Many countries’ War Departments are exploiting loopholes."
"Exploiting loopholes? What does that mean?" Lin Dong frowned slightly, inquisitively asking.
Though somewhat prepared, hearing Dugu Tian say this, he couldn’t help but feel surprised.
Dugu Tian sighed gently, explained, "It means, this time, every country will call for foreign aid. They will invite powerful Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, temporarily bestow them the title of War Department War God. In this way, these foreign aids conform to War God Ranking competition eligibility and can rightly represent their sponsoring War Department to participate in this contest."
After listening, Lin Dong’s expression became serious.
He deeply understood the prowess of Heavenly Realm Martial Artists, and how such foreign aid meant for each country’s War Department.
This would undoubtedly make the competition more fierce and ruthless.
Previously, the War Gods of every country’s War Department were all of Earth Realm martial artist strength.
Only Lin Dong was somewhat special, though only in his twenties, he was already a Heavenly Realm Martial Artist, still holding the position of War God.
Thus, former War God Rankings were battled by Earth Realm martial artists.
But clearly, this time it’s different.
"Thus, this time’s War God Ranking contest, isn’t it going to be a heavenly realm-level battle?" Lin Dong pondered, his tone carrying a degree of gravity.
Dugu Tian nodded, indicating agreement.
However, at that moment, Lin Dong unexpectedly changed the subject, asking, "Then...are there Sub Ancestor level participants?"
This question was evidently beyond Dugu Tian’s expectations.
He froze for a moment, then quickly shook his head, his tone with assuredness, "Sub Ancestors? How could that be possible! Entities of the Sub Ancestor level would not easily get involved. Who could possibly enlist a Sub Ancestor? Although this ranking of the War God matters greatly, it hasn’t reached the level of attraction for Sub Ancestors."
Upon hearing Dugu Tian’s answer, Lin Dong let out a breath of relief.
He knew well the might of Sub Ancestors, if they really participated, then this competition would hold no suspense. Naturally, he could not defeat a Sub Ancestor.
But now it seems, at least in this regard, he need not worry too much.
"Since there are no Sub Ancestors, the problem shouldn’t be big." Lin Dong smiled faintly, his tone carrying some confidence.
Yet, his confidence piqued Dugu Tian’s curiosity.
"Oh? Lin Dong, you’re so confident, do you perhaps believe that under Sub Ancestors, you’re already unbeatable?" Dugu Tian’s eyes flashed slightly, his tone holding an element of probing.
Lin Dong smiled faintly, not answering directly.
He knew his strength, though impressive, couldn’t guarantee absolute invincibility beneath Sub Ancestors.
However, he does possess his own advantages and trump cards.
Though not one hundred percent, at least, there’s ninety percent certainty to defeat anyone below Sub Ancestors.
After chatting with Dugu Tian for a while, Dugu Tian asked, "Do you want to watch the other two competitions?"
"The competition timings are tomorrow and three days later."
Lin Dong pondered for a moment, said, "Okay! Just in time, then I’ve got some things to deliver to them. Perhaps they can use these to strive for a better ranking."
Hearing this, Dugu Tian’s eyes lit up.
He knew Lin Dong’s skills well.
Cannot be judged by a typical Heavenly Realm Martial Artist.
"At night, our War Department Base is hosting a banquet to welcome Lin Tian! The soldiers are eager to see you, the one who climbed into the top five on the Five Elements Stele." Dugu Tian patted Lin Dong’s shoulder, laughed heartily.
...
Night fell, the War Department Base was brightly lit, as a grand banquet quietly began.
In the central square of the base, round tables were scattered artfully, laden with various delicacies, the fragrance was overflowing, tempting.
Soldiers dressed uniformly, faces filled with expectation and joy, among them were seasoned veterans and new recruits alike, yet everyone had eyes glimmering with admiration for Lin Dong.
Lin Dong, wearing a robe that’s simple yet authoritative, stepped into the banquet scene, at that moment, as if the entire space held still.
The soldiers’ gazes instantly focused on him, an emotion mingling with worship, admiration, and curiosity.
Recent glorious achievements of Lin Dong in the Extraterrestrial Battlefield spread like wildfire, swiftly across the Extraterrestrial Battlefield.
The Dragon Country War Department Base naturally was also abuzz with stories of his feats.
He climbed to the top five position on the Five Elements Stele at the fastest speed, not only surpassing numerous seniors but also leaving behind strong figures like "Heavenly Envoy."
His name now stands among the top tier of strength below Sub Ancestors.
In War Department culture, strength is always revered and worshipped.
Lin Dong, with his strength and courage, captured the hearts of everyone.
The soldiers raised their glasses, extending their most sincere respect to him, some even whispered, sharing their awe and longing for Lin Dong’s anecdotes.
During the banquet, joyful laughter and toasting intertwined, forming a warm yet powerful scene.
