Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 366: The Divine Son Quota? Lin Dong’s Choice
Meanwhile.
Deep within a top-secret, S-Level Alien Race battlefield under the jurisdiction of the Great Xia Military Department.
The sky here was perpetually gray, the air thick with the stench of gunpowder and blood.
Inside a makeshift military tent.
Several soldiers in Battle Armor, exuding a grim, murderous aura, were gathered around an old military display screen.
The image on the screen flickered, the signal clearly abysmal.
And at that moment, the frozen frame happened to show Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng—one human, one beast.
“TSK TSK TSK…”
A large, scar-faced man couldn’t help but click his tongue, pointing at the black mosquito on the screen.
“This little guy is something else. That black fire… even I’m getting envious just looking at it.”
“And that girl… I’ve never seen such arrogance in anyone else!”
As he spoke, the scar-faced man turned his head to look at a short-haired man in the corner who was wiping his battle blade.
The man looked very young, in his early twenties at most.
But his presence was as steady as a mountain, and his eyes held none of the restlessness of youth—only a calm as deep as an abyss.
“Brother Lin.”
The scar-faced man grinned.
“I remember you’re also a student at Jing University, right? Logically speaking, you’re the one most qualified to go to this Global Martial Dao Tournament.”
“I heard the final reward for this competition is related to that legendary ’Divine Son’ spot…”
“If you went, that spot would be as good as yours!”
“Yeah, Lin Dong, why didn’t you go? For a competition like this, the Military Department would have let you go back.”
The others in the tent all looked over as well.
They all knew how formidable this young man was.
Though only a student, when it came to killing Alien Races on the battlefield, he was more ruthless than any of them, the seasoned veterans.
Under everyone’s gaze.
The short-haired man known as Lin Dong didn’t pause his work.
He carefully wiped every inch of blood from the blade until its surface reflected his cold, stern face.
“I don’t need to.”
Lin Dong’s voice was calm, without the slightest ripple.
“A competition like that is just child’s play. It holds no meaning for me.”
“As for the so-called spot…”
He slowly raised his head, his gaze passing through the blurry screen, lingering for a second on the human and the mosquito.
An imperceptible trace of admiration flashed in his eyes, but it was only admiration.
“It’s better to leave the opportunity to the next generation.”
“Great Xia needs more people who can carry the banner, not just one Lin Dong.”
With that said.
He sheathed his blade, stood up, and pushed aside the tent flap to walk out.
Watching his retreating back, everyone in the tent fell silent.
After a long moment, the scar-faced man sighed.
“This kid… is a real freak.”
“’Next generation’… how old is he? He talks like an old man.”
“Then again, he’s right. If he went back, there’d be no question who the champion would be. But who knows… that Gu Yuexi looks like a real piece of work herself…”
…
「Back in the United States, at the Global Martial Arts Arena.」
After a brief celebration and cleanup.
The competition had to continue.
According to the original rules, the duels between the other groups were next.
Chief Referee Pierce straightened his collar and raised the microphone, just about to announce the start of the next match.
“Wait.”
A clear, cold voice abruptly interrupted him.
Pierce’s brows furrowed as he turned to look.
He saw that Gu Yuexi, who should have exited the stage to rest, had not left.
She slowly rose from the ground, her white attire looking especially dazzling under the spotlights.
Chu Sheng also flew back to her shoulder. The human and beast floated in mid-air, level with the chief referee.
“Contestant Gu Yuexi, is there something you need?”
Pierce was somewhat displeased.
’You may have won, but this is a global live broadcast. It’s incredibly rude to interrupt the proceedings.’
Gu Yuexi ignored Pierce’s question.
She lowered her head.
Her glacial eyes slowly swept across the waiting area below.
White Eagle Empire, Ancient Aie Empire, Rose Kingdom…
Every team her gaze swept over felt an inexplicable pressure.
“I said it before.”
Gu Yuexi’s voice spread throughout the arena via the loudspeakers, her tone as calm as if she were stating a fact.
“This farce should end now.”
“You wracked your brains to come up with these complicated rules—gauntlets, point matches… it’s all too troublesome.”
“This Empress has no time to play house with you all.”
The entire arena was in an uproar.
Everyone’s eyes went wide, unable to believe their ears.
’What was she saying?’
’Playing house?’
’This was the most prestigious Martial Dao tournament in the world!’
The faces of the various team leaders instantly turned grim.
’That girl… she’s too arrogant!’
Gu Yuexi turned her head and exchanged a look with Chu Sheng on her shoulder.
Then she continued:
“So, let’s not make it so troublesome.”
“I don’t care how many rounds are left, or how you arrange your lineups.”
“Let’s just make it one round.”
She extended a slender finger, pointed at all the participating teams below, and said, word by word:
“The Great Xia Team will face all of your teams at once!”
“If Great Xia wins, we are the final victors.”
“If we lose, you can fight over the championship amongst yourselves however you please.”
“So…”
Gu Yuexi narrowed her eyes slightly, her innate imperial might unleashed without reservation at this moment.
“Do you accept?”
“Or should I say…”
“Do you dare?”
BOOM—!!!
If Great Xia’s victory had lit a powder keg, then Gu Yuexi’s words just now were the equivalent of detonating a nuclear bomb!
The tens of thousands of spectators in the arena, including the billions in front of their TVs, all went crazy.
Wild!
That’s just too wild!
“Crazy! This woman is absolutely crazy!”
“My God, does she know what she’s saying? Those are all the remaining strong teams! White Eagle, Ancient Egypt, Rose… every one of them is a favorite to win the championship!”
“This is suicide!”
Some were shocked, some mocked, and some were fired up with excitement.
This was especially true for the White Eagle Empire audience members present, who themselves worshipped individual heroism.
Although Gu Yuexi was an opponent, this kind of “I want to fight ten” domineering declaration directly hit their G-spot.
Instantly, the arena erupted with whistles and screams.
…
But in the rest areas of the major teams, the atmosphere became extremely strange.
The team leaders looked at each other, quickly weighing the pros and cons.
This was obviously against the rules.
But…
’She’s already laid down the gauntlet!’
’If we don’t accept… wouldn’t that be admitting we’re cowards?’
And, most importantly—Great Xia was currently the team with the most members. Agreeing to this condition was undoubtedly beneficial to the other teams!
Why wouldn’t they be happy to work together and eliminate Great Xia first?
After a brief silence.
A man with a build as burly as a bear was the first to stand up.
He was the captain of the Rose Kingdom, a rough smile on his face.
“Since our friend from Great Xia is feeling so bold, the Rose Kingdom accepts!”
Once there was a first, a second followed.
The captains of several teams stood up one by one.
“The Ancient Aie Empire accepts.”
“Heh heh, what’s there to be afraid of? The European Union accepts.”
“The Northern Federation accepts…”
“…”
Finally.
Only the White Eagle Empire was left.
Everyone’s gaze turned in that direction.
In the rest area.
William slowly stood up.
He didn’t take the corridor, but walked straight toward the Energy Shield separating the battlefield from the rest area.
He extended a hand and pressed it against the pale blue curtain of light.
SIZZLE—!
Where his palm made contact, the Energy Shield—strong enough to withstand cannon fire—actually melted like ice meeting a blazing fire, instantly creating a large hole!
William strode out, passed through the large hole, and walked step by step to the edge of the Beast Fighting Arena.
He raised his head, his sharp, falcon-like eyes locked onto Gu Yuexi in the air.
The corners of his mouth curved into a cruel and excited smile.
“This is getting interesting.”
“How did you know… that I can’t wait any longer!”
William licked his lips, the Flame Superpower within him stirring restlessly.
“Heh heh, since you want to play for high stakes…”
“Then the White Eagle Empire…”
“…also accepts!”
