Urban Divine Doctor Descends the Mountain Chapter 2784 - 2783: War God Competition Rules!

Once the Guardian Angel 'God of Blade' from Yingjiang Country had departed, guardian angels from the other nations followed, leaving one by one.

"We'll depart first too."

"Catch you at the War God Competition in a few days."

"..."

Participants exited successively.

Dragon Country War Department departed last.

Dragon Country's Guardian Angel, Dugu Tian, invited Elder Mintian over to the Dragon Country War Department Base.

Dugu Tian expected a refusal at first, yet to his surprise, Elder Mintian accepted right away.

"Hahaha, alright, off to the Dragon Country War Department Base we go. Let's enjoy some tea—it's been ages since my last cup."

All the while, his eyes stayed locked on Lin Dong.

Dugu Tian grasped that Lin Dong prompted Elder Mintian's willingness to visit the Dragon Country War Department.

After all, as an Alliance of Heavenly Realm elder, why would he consent so readily otherwise?

The group boarded a warship, sailing toward the Dragon Country War Department Base.

News of their approach reached the Dragon Country War Department Base before they did.

Soldiers at the base learned of another victorious return that day.

"Dragon Country War Department mighty, War God Lin mighty!"

Cheers boomed across the base, echoing past triumphs.

Celebration engulfed the entire Dragon Country War Department Base.

Dugu Tian, thrilled beyond measure, swiftly set up yet another lavish evening feast.

At the banquet, Lin Dong and Elder Mintian claimed the honored seats, Dugu Tian attending nearby.

Elder Mintian spoke up, "Young Friend Lin, I've heard you're entering the War God Competition three days hence?"

Lin Dong nodded. "I'm part of Dragon Country War Department, code name Asura War God."

"Hahaha..." Elder Mintian burst into laughter. "You War Gods stand as the mightiest ever."

"This War God Competition grows far more thrilling than before, with nations dispatching Heavenly Realm Martial Artists."

"Sigh, a turn to outright carnage would spell disaster for us human martial artists."

"As you know, Extraterritorial Blood Clan sightings surge lately. Something brews..."

Elder Mintian shared this via secret transmission solely with Lin Dong and Dugu Tian, fellow Heavenly Realm Martial Artists.

Lin Dong and Dugu Tian absorbed his words silently.

"Elder Mintian, speak plainly." Lin Dong sensed deeper intent behind the elder's words.

Elder Mintian smiled before announcing, "Behold the rules for this War God Competition!"

"They differ notably from prior events."

"Each battle area fields three War Gods—minimum Stage Five Grandmaster power, capped below Secondary Ancestor!"

"External allies welcome, so long as they're game—whoever you recruit flies."

"Participants plunge into the Extraterrestrial Battlefield's 'Five Elements Forbidden Land,' slaying demon beasts there. Top killer tally crowns the battle area victor."

"Kill another country's War God, and their demon beast count transfers to yours."

"Expect savage clashes as War Gods from rival zones turn on each other."

"Without that rule, complaints would erupt—true winners demand blade-to-blade showdowns."

Lin Dong nodded upon hearing. "Fair rules suit me fine."

Elder Mintian chuckled. "Young Friend Lin, my point ties directly here."

"Countless human powerhouses join this time; infighting losses would devastate us. Alliance of Heavenly Realm dreads that scene."

"It hands victory to the Extraterritorial Blood Clan. Thus, Young Friend Lin, show mercy in the War God Competition if you compete."

Lin Dong gave a faint chuckle. "Elder Mintian, what's your angle?"

"Why confide this just to me?"

"Cough cough..." Elder Mintian replied, "You're the supreme force, Young Friend Lin. Reports dub you the Kill God."

"Death trails you like piled peaks. Yinghua Country's Martial Arts World nearly vanished by your hand. Paocai Nation's frail scene crumbled hard under you."

"Southborne lost droves of elite martial artists to your rampage too."

"On the Extraterrestrial Battlefield, Demon Emperors and Heavenly Realm Martial Artists felled by you exceed twenty total, right?"

"Beyond belief."

Lin Dong replied gravely. "Elder Mintian, Lin Dong lives by this: a foot of respect earns a yard back. Provokers invite my full fury—no regrets."

"I grasp your intent. Here's my vow: beyond Yingjiang, Xiong, Yujia, and Ancient European Countries' War Gods, I won't strike first at others—unless they do."

"First blood from them absolves me."

Elder Mintian lit up. "Young Friend Lin, your pledge seals it. That's the mindset we need."

"Come, tea time!" Dugu Tian, spotting the tension, urged drinks to ease things.

Lin Dong and Elder Mintian lifted teacups, shelving the matter after accord.

"Oh, three War Gods required. Beyond Young Friend Lin, who's the rest?" Elder Mintian pressed Lin Dong and Dugu Tian.

Dugu Tian shared freely with the Alliance of Heavenly Realm elder. "War God Lin and War God Hei Long locked in. Third undecided."

Dugu Tian yearned to join, barred by his Guardian Angel status.

Guardian Angels can't double as War Gods in the competition.

Rules eased for outside help up to under Secondary Ancestor.

Guardian Angels as War Gods stays banned!

Dragon Country War Department yet to pick the final fighter.

"Got it... Choose fast—the War God Competition looms. Finalize by eve of start at latest."

"Swaps allowed too."

Elder Mintian cautioned.

Dugu Tian nodded unhurried, sure Lin Dong's presence erased all War God Competition uncertainty.

Thus, the last slot—even sans Heavenly Realm prowess—meant little.

"Truth be told, I suggest a pick for Dragon Country Battle Area. He approached me earlier, keen to rep your zone as War God!"

Elder Mintian dropped this bombshell.
