Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2776 - 2775

"How straightforward!" The Blood Monk in white robes let out a booming laugh, "In the past, this poor monk would definitely have clashed with you."

"However, we just had our contest moments ago. You emerged victorious, so no battle is necessary now."

"Very well, this poor monk takes his leave. Hopefully, our paths cross again!"

"One more thing—watch out for the Extraterritorial Blood Clan. The one you slew wasn’t ordinary..."

With those words, the white-clothed Blood Monk stepped into the void.

Blood lotuses bloomed beneath every footfall.

As he departed, Lin Dong reflected deeply on their recent exchange.

"This Blood Monk in white is truly enigmatic."

"What exactly did his final warning imply?"

"Does Xue Chen have an even stronger Blood Clan backing him?"

Lin Dong mulled it over.

Only then did he notice that battling the Demon Emperor and absorbing the four Wood Energies had consumed an entire day.

"Tomorrow brings the team competition. No matter, I’ll return first. This round, I took down five Demon Emperors too, boosting my Five Elements Stele rank to third. Mission accomplished."

With that thought, Lin Dong set off on his return trip.

The Dragon Country War Department Base lay over two thousand kilometers distant.

Yet for Lin Dong, such a distance was trivial.

At his current pace, even without activating Body Technique Ancient Martial or Earth Dragon Treasure Technique, he could hit ten times the speed of sound.

Traveling at ten times sonic speed for a full hour would span over ten thousand kilometers.

Naturally, in the Green Wood Forest, terrain and hidden special zones demanded caution.

Thus, top speed couldn’t be held constantly.

Still, covering two thousand kilometers in an hour proved effortless.

Roughly an hour passed before Lin Dong arrived back at Ye Linglong and her team’s training site.

The forest remained unchanged.

Lin Dong’s reappearance brought joy to Ye Linglong and the rest.

"War God Lin, you’re back!" The soldiers gazed at him with pure reverence.

Smiling and nodding, Lin Dong inquired, "How’s the practice with those two formations going?"

"Before tomorrow’s team competition kicks off, I’ll assess your mastery once more. This time, I’ll test you myself!"

In unison, the three thousand soldiers roared, "War God Lin, we’re ready and waiting for your inspection!"

"Excellent, time to evaluate your progress from these two days."

Lin Dong issued a resounding order: "All troops, assemble!"

"Five Elements Xuanwu Formation!"

At his command, guided by Ye Linglong, the three thousand soldiers swiftly arrayed themselves.

Lin Dong launched his ultimate review!

An hour or so later.

The inspection wrapped up!

"Impressive—you’ve exceeded my expectations, performing better than I thought possible."

Lin Dong’s commendation filled the soldiers with delight, like they’d savored the sweetest nectar.

"Shine in tomorrow’s match! Reclaim that cursed top spot for Dragon Country’s Battle Area!" Dugu Tian, observing from the sidelines, had witnessed Lin Dong’s evaluation.

His faith in this squad for the group event soared even higher.

Prior to Lin Dong’s intensive drills, Dugu Tian pegged their odds of first place at a mere ten percent. Now, it skyrocketed to ninety-nine percent!

That slim one percent accounted for wild cards like sudden blasts on the Extraterrestrial Battlefield that could cancel the event.

Excitement and assurance surged through the three thousand warriors.

They brimmed with certainty for the team showdown ahead!

Having gauged the formation skills of the three thousand troops, Dugu Tian turned to Lin Dong with congratulations:

"Well done, War God Lin—your Five Elements Stele position jumped two spots to third!"

Wow!

The revelation left the three thousand soldiers dumbfounded.

Lacking Dugu Tian’s updates amid their rigorous training, they’d missed Lin Dong’s feats.

Dugu Tian’s announcement hit them like thunder.

"Unbelievable! War God Lin is a legend! In under two days, he slaughtered multiple Demon Emperors, vaulting from fifth to third on the Five Elements Stele!"

"He’s a true deity!"

"Forever my idol! War God Lin!"

"..."

In response to Dugu Tian’s praise, Lin Dong replied humbly, "Thanks for the kind words, Senior Dugu."

"No surprise from the legend of millennia! You’re on the verge of shattering yet another record—hitting first on the Five Elements Stele in record time!"

"Breaking it might even earn you a special prize from the Five Elements Stele."

Curious, Lin Dong asked, "Does it truly offer extra rewards?"

"Quite likely! It happened before—the quickest to claim first on the Five Elements Stele once received an additional Super Ancient Martial Arts technique!"

Lin Dong committed that detail to memory.

He resolved to hunt more Demon Emperors right after the team event concluded.

Aiming to seize first place at breakneck speed.

Following light banter, darkness descended.

Lin Dong declared, "Let’s return, rest up well tonight. Dominate tomorrow and grab first!"

The three thousand soldiers chanted, "Seize first! Seize first!"

Resolve and optimism fueled them all for the next day’s team battle.

...

The following day!

Team competition day arrived.

Lin Dong, Dugu Tian, War God Hei Long, and key figures from the Dragon Country War Department Base boarded the War Machine, soaring toward the group match venue.

Another expansive jungle stretched before them.

By around eight a.m., the Dragon Country War Department Base’s War Machine hovered high over the contest zone.

Numerous nations had already dispatched their War Machines upon its arrival.

All eyes turned toward the Dragon Country War Department.

In this War Department showdown, Dragon Country’s forces had seized the spotlight.

They’d eclipsed the prior champions, Yingjiang Country.

Representatives from the Four Major Battle Zones were present too.

Every gaze fixed on Dragon Country’s Battle Area.

Under Lin Dong and Dugu Tian’s lead, Dragon Country Battle Area’s three thousand team competitors disembarked.

Spotting them, Heavenly Envoys from diverse nations greeted Lin Dong:

"Congrats, Lin Dong and Lin Tian, on climbing to third on the Five Elements Stele!"

Despite cutthroat War Department rivalries, Lin Dong’s personal triumphs earned widespread respect and felicitations from the Envoys.

After all, polite words cost nothing.

Lin Dong cupped his hands with a grin:

"Grateful for everyone’s attention."

"Your cheerful faces suggest you’re all geared up for the team event."

"Haha, Lin Tian, we admire your prowess immensely. But War Department clashes tie to national pride—we won’t hold back."

"So if Dragon Country War Department ends up last, don’t take it to heart, Lin Tian." The Yingjiang Country Heavenly Envoy, ’God of Blade,’ remarked with a sly edge.

He feared Lin Dong might stir trouble again, as before!

Such an outburst would spell real headaches.
