104: Arrogant professionals from the Foot Basin Country

Seeing Ning Hua's solemn expression, Jiang Rong asked, "Sister Ning, what's wrong? What happened?"

At her question, Ning Hua came back to her senses.

She said to everyone, "There's been a change in the Trial, it seems foreign Professionals have infiltrated here!"

Everyone's faces changed.

"Isn't this place controlled by the Academy? How could there be foreign Professionals?"

"How many of them are there?"

"If there are high-Rank foreign Professionals, then we're in trouble!"

The team members looked worried and couldn't help but ask.

The Trial Grounds used to be entered only by Professionals from their Academy.

They would usually only compete with people from other academies.

So there were no casualties, and everyone was very restrained.

As Professionals from the same Academy, most of them knew each other and had no deep grudges, so they would stop before causing serious harm.

But foreign Professionals were different.

And with the competition for precious Materials like the spring of life involved, the two sides were very likely to fight in earnest.

It was even very possible for casualties to occur.

This was their concern.

Only Song Ming's expression remained normal, as if he didn't care about these foreign Professionals at all.

And that was indeed the case.

He could easily crush a Rank 100 Dragon, let alone these foreign Professionals.

Perhaps some of them would be masters above Rank 100.

But to Song Ming, it made no difference at all.

Ning Hua then continued, "You don't need to be too afraid. The number of foreign Professionals who infiltrated won't be too many. We can completely contend with them!"

Guo Jun also rarely chimed in, "That's right, they're just a bunch of foreign rookies, look how scared you are!"

The others' expressions then eased considerably.

Just as Ning Hua said, this place was considered to be under the control of Divine Xia Academy.

Presumably, those foreign Professionals wouldn't dare to enter openly.

Let alone dispatch higher-Rank Professionals.

They should still be able to deal with them quite easily.

Ning Hua then continued to lead the team towards Thunderbolt Canyon.

The location of Boiling Sea Lake was actually on the outer edge of the island.

So it took them a considerable amount of time to travel from Boiling Sea Lake to Thunderbolt Canyon this time.

Two hours later.

Ning Hua and her team finally arrived at the very center of the island.

Song Ming looked up and saw a pillar-shaped mountain peak piercing the clouds, with a vast and steep canyon below.

The sky above the canyon was covered in dark clouds, with lightning flashing and rumbling thunder constantly heard.

Strong winds howled, passing through the canyon and making an ear-piercing sound.

Suddenly.

A bolt of lightning struck down from the dark clouds, wrapping around the pillar-shaped mountain peak.

Strangely, the pillar-shaped mountain peak showed no damage at all. The lightning swirled and intertwined on it, then poured directly into the canyon below.

This sudden movement startled Jiang Rong.

She shrank her neck and then moved closer to Song Ming.

Thunderbolt Canyon was filled with a large number of high-Rank monsters, but most of them lived inside the canyon, and they were rarely seen in the outer areas.

At this moment, a group of Professionals was gathered at the outer edge of the canyon.

They were subtly divided into two groups, seemingly in a standoff.

Ning Hua's expression darkened as she looked at the other group of Professionals.

The clothes they wore were not the Divine Xia Academy uniform, nor were they in the clothing style of the Great Xia Country people.

The Professional standing at the very front was even wearing the unique samurai attire of Japan, with a gleaming katana hanging at his waist.

That should be Japan's characteristic profession, the Daimyo Samurai.

"They're Professionals from Japan!" Ning Hua said in a deep voice.

Song Ming and the others nodded, then followed Ning Hua to the group of Professionals from Divine Xia Academy.

A young man immediately walked out and said to Ning Hua, "Team Leader Ning, it's confirmed, the Dragon Island dungeon entrance is inside the canyon."

"But this group of Japan Professionals appeared out of nowhere, clearly intending to snatch the Dragon Island dungeon from us!"

"However, the dungeon entrance is in the center of the canyon, guarded by a Thunder Giant Dragon, so we can't get close at all!"

Ning Hua nodded and said, "We can arrange for a few Professionals with high agility attributes to lure that Dragon away, and then we'll seize the opportunity to go in!"

The young man looked at the Japan Professionals opposite and said worriedly, "But I'm afraid this group of Japan Professionals will take the opportunity to cause trouble!"

"If that's the case, then just drive them away. Don't forget, this is our territory!" Ning Hua said coldly.

The young man also nodded, "I had the same idea!"

The reason they hadn't acted yet was because they were waiting for Ning Hua.

After all, she was a Rank 72 Professional, the highest Rank present.

He had just used Appraisal Technique to scan them, and there were quite a few Rank 60 Professionals among the Japan Professionals.

They would be quite tricky to deal with.

With Ning Hua there, they would be much more relaxed.

Ning Hua immediately stood at the front of the crowd, coldly staring at those arrogant Japan people.

"Get out, you're not welcome here!"

The Japan Professionals looked disdainful, and one of them even said arrogantly, "Baka, the spring of life in the Dragon Island dungeon can only belong to our Japan. If you don't leave, don't blame us for being impolite."

He had once studied in the Great Xia Country as an exchange student for a period of time.

So he could speak the Great Xia Country language.

Ning Hua directly took off her glasses, and boundless Battle Intent shot from her eyes, piercing towards the Japan person who had just spoken.

That person's body immediately shrank, and he squeezed into the crowd somewhat fearfully.

"Since that's the case, there's nothing more to say!" Ning Hua drew her long sword, pointing it at the group of Japan Professionals in front of her.

Behind her, the Professionals from Divine Xia Academy all took out their weapons as well.

"Brothers, charge! Let's just do it!"

"We must let these Japan people, who are having a good life, know our power!"

"I just learned a new skill, I'll practice it on you!"

Everyone was emotional. The Dragon Island dungeon was right there in the canyon, and they absolutely couldn't give it to these guys.

The Japan Professionals naturally refused to show weakness and also drew their weapons.

The short young man at the very front had a cold sneer on his lips, seemingly not afraid of the Great Xia Country Professionals, who outnumbered them by double.

His name was Minamoto Yoriko, and he was a legendary Daimyo Samurai Professional from Japan.

Just as the two factions were about to start fighting.

A rumbling sound suddenly came from the canyon, followed by the ground beginning to shake, and a sharp Dragon roar pierced through the layers of rocks, clearly reaching everyone's ears.

Minamoto Yoriko's heart filled with joy, and he then ordered everyone, "Disperse! The Giant Dragon in the canyon has been lured out. Each of you find an opportunity to sneak in and guard the Dragon Island dungeon entrance!"

The Japan Professionals scattered upon hearing this, each finding a place to hide.

It was also at this moment that a figure, riding a strange Shikigami, flew towards the Great Xia Country Professionals.

Behind him were three Thunder Giant Dragons of varying sizes.

The smallest one was still over a hundred meters long.
