98: Chapter 98 Is your Great Cold Kingdom challenging the authority of the Star River?

Upon hearing the voice of the Reception Envoy, the hundred or so people all wore expectant expressions, obediently looking in his direction.

Once they all quieted down, the Reception Envoy spoke.

"First of all, Hell difficulty is not just a little harder than Nightmare difficulty; it is much harder."

"Even a single ordinary monster inside, under the enhancement of Hells Power, is far superior to a Leader or even an Elite monster of the same Rank."

"Furthermore, the quantity of monsters is generally much higher than in other difficulties."

"Even with the strength to easily clear Nightmare difficulty, I fear one would find it hard to take a single step in Hell difficulty."

His words left many people deep in thought.

"Then why bother with such a difficult challenge? Is it just because the rewards inside are greater?"

One examinee asked with confusion.

The Reception Envoy nodded, then shook his head.

"The difficulty has increased, so the rewards are naturally greater, whether it be experience points or loot."

"But these are not the most important things."

"It is because the Dungeon of Hell difficulty involves the Heavenly Dao."

His words caused countless people to show expressions of disbelief.

Heavenly Dao?

Isn't that something incredibly profound and mysterious? Does it actually exist?

The Reception Envoy looked at the audience; only a few people had normal expressions, indicating they had previously learned about this knowledge.

"For example, like Zhang Jian's team, who activated the Hell difficulty of a new Dungeon; as long as they successfully clear it, even with the lowest rating, they can obtain a Heavenly Dao Blessing."

"For instance, it could allow your current Rank to learn an additional skill, or allow you to equip higher-Rank weapons and gear several levels early."

His words made countless people in the audience show expressions of surprise.

"This is a lifelong benefit; it's almost comparable to obtaining a new talent."

"But even so, it is just icing on the cake. Is it necessary to make it sound so exaggerated?"

They were all at the level of Prodigies; while such Heavenly Dao rewards sounded good, they weren't enough to determine a person's future or destiny.

The Reception Envoy pressed his hand downward and continued speaking to himself.

"Heavenly Dao rewards might not catch your Dharma Eye."

"But if your performance in the Dungeon achieves unprecedented results, the Heavenly Dao Blessing might be upgraded to a Heavenly Dao Reward."

"For example, allowing you to permanently gain an extra equipment slot."

"Or upgrading the quality of your talent..."

"What? That's impossible!"

His words caused an uproar.

Park Jun-ho questioned loudly.

Other examinees turned their gazes toward him, showing shock.

"Fool!" Zhu Jiurong snorted coldly.

Daring to question the Reception Envoy—does he not want to live anymore?

The gazes of others looking at Park Jun-ho were like looking at an idiot.

Where did this idiot come from? Does he think he's at home?

Even Li Wenzhe, who had previously stood on the same side as him, showed disgust and quickly moved a few steps away.

Why did he think of making friends with such a stupid person? Could he have been infected by him?

Park Jun-ho was usually like a star surrounded by the moon in his own country, habitually blind and arrogant.

He didn't think much of it right after speaking.

But when he looked up and saw that the object of his questioning was the Reception Envoy, his face instantly turned pale.

He started trembling with fear.

"I... I wasn't targeting you, I... I had a slip of the tongue!"

As for what the other party said just now, he might not have believed others.

But this was the Reception Envoy of Galaxy Academy.

An existence with a status even more revered than their Dahan Country's supreme commander.

How could his words be false?

But when he lowered his head to apologize, he noticed the other party's expression remained unchanged.

Only then was Park Jun-ho truly afraid.

Thump!

He knelt directly on the ground and began kowtowing incessantly.

"Lord Reception Envoy, I was wrong, please forgive me!"

The Reception Envoy only then glanced at him, his tone cold.

"You have repeatedly made loud noises during the assessment and questioned the Academy."

"Park Jun-ho is hereby expelled from Galaxy Academy, and the children of the Park Family will never be employed by Galaxy Academy."

Park Jun-ho looked up upon hearing this, his expression terrified.

"Lord, it was all my fault alone; it has nothing to do with my Family."

"I beg you to show mercy, do not..."

"Noisy!"

The Reception Envoy's eyes were like knives, and his voice was as sharp as a sword.

"Are you not satisfied with just punishing your Family? Do you require me to punish Dahan Country as well?"

His words pushed Park Jun-ho's inner fear to the extreme, causing his eyes to roll back, and he fainted from fright.

Han Xueyao looked anxious and hurriedly knelt down.

"Park Jun-ho does not represent the character of the citizens of Dahan Country; I beg you to judge clearly, Lord."

In the group of examinees, six other Dahan Country examinees were also trembling all over from fear and knelt down together with Han Xueyao.

"The examinees of Dahan Country have absolutely no intention to question you, Lord; we hope you will judge clearly!"

The Reception Envoy's brows relaxed slightly, and he waved his hand.

"This time, I will only punish the Park Family; if there is a next time, Japan will be your fate!"

"Thank you for your mercy, Lord!"

Han Xueyao's expression was that of someone who had just survived a disaster.

She did not want to be delayed by this idiot Park Jun-ho after having finally gotten into Galaxy Academy.

The Dahan Country examinees were relieved, but the Reception Envoy's words couldn't help but make Yamamoto Ichiro shudder.

There were also a dozen or so Japanese examinees in the arena who were terrified.

Previously, due to the gift-giving incident by the Sword Master of Japan, the entire country of Japan was blacklisted by Galaxy Academy, and no students were recruited from there for five years.

These five years were years that deeply affected Japan.

Originally, their national power was far above that of Dahan Country.

In daily exchanges, there was always a vague sense of superiority.

As a result of that incident, Dahan Country began to catch up.

In these five years, Dahan Country had a total of nine people admitted to Galaxy Academy.

Among them, the two admitted in the first year are now at Second Job Change Rank 69 and are about to undergo their Third Job Change.

The strength of these two alone crushed countless peers in Japan.

In several Dungeon explorations and arena exchange activities, they completely suppressed this generation of Japan.

If this trend continues, I fear that in another five years, Dahan Country will have signs of catching up and surpassing them in national power.

Therefore, this year, when Galaxy Academy just lifted the restrictions, the strongest of the younger generation in Japan, Kamishiro Chio and Yamamoto Ichiro, received training from the entire nation.

To ensure they would definitely be admitted to Galaxy Academy.

Unexpectedly, they encountered a massive explosion of Chinese examinees, with that one country alone taking seven spots.

Only Kamishiro Chio barely made it into the top ten, while Yamamoto Ichiro regrettably failed to make the list.

But it was already a good start.

Especially since this time, Park Jun-ho was blinded by greed and stupidity and collided with the Reception Envoy, causing the Park Family, one of the strongest families in Dahan Country, to be permanently rejected by Galaxy Academy.

For Japan, this could be considered a huge piece of good news.

Although Han Xueyao and the others kept a very low profile and managed to keep Dahan Country from being blacklisted, the Japanese people dared not gloat publicly.

Especially after the Reception Envoy called them out, they were so scared that they all knelt down together.

"We are grateful for your mercy, Lord; Japan will never dare to offend again."
