Recently, Chen Guo has been stealing the spotlight. The Jade Void Temple's fame has even eclipsed that of the major sects, making it the most renowned in the East Asia region. Chen Guo and his team's successful conquest of the novel has inspired others from Beginner Villages to attempt the same, but all have met with failure.
"We gathered eighty trial challengers above level 12 to take on the novel, only to be utterly defeated by ordinary monsters. We didn't even catch a glimpse of the boss-level monsters, not to mention the legendary creatures!"
"The novel is that daunting, huh? Looks like, aside from legends like Boss Guangcheng, no one should even dream of conquering it at this stage!"
"Boss Guangcheng truly is the world's foremost champion!"
Chen Guo was the subject of endless adulation. Tales of his wealth rivaling nations and his solo conquest of the novel were on everyone's lips.
Many trial challengers were quickly becoming devout fans of Chen Guo.
It's inevitable; true strength always captures the public's eye and turns the mighty into idols.
Amidst the fervent discussions, a group of Plioyain people abruptly joined in, their tone dismissive and brash.
"What's Guangcheng compared to anything? Our Plioya's Shan Brothers, graced by Xuzuo's favor, are the real powerhouses!"
"Your Jutrela experts are inconsequential. Your frail and inferior nation has no right to strut around. Only our grand Plioya is the true world leader. Only our Plioya's Shan Brothers are the legendary ones!"
"Guangcheng and Lei Kun are mere pebbles compared to the Shan Brothers—they don't hold a candle to them!"
The Plioyain's provocations, aimed at Chen Guo and Lei Kun of Jutrela, fueled their wild praise of the Shan Brothers while disparaging Jutrela.
This incited widespread fury.
Jutrelians made up half of the East Asia region.
The audacity of these Plioya miscreants, to be so insolent and disrespectful toward Jutrela, was more than anyone could stand.
"Those Plioyain braggarts have gone too far. Have they lost their minds with overconfidence?"
"Who on earth are the Shan Brothers, daring to mess with Boss Guangcheng like that? They're way out of their league!"
The Jutrelians fiercely countered, denouncing the Plioyains' audacity.
Yet, their disbelief turned to shock upon seeing the Shan Brothers' fighting capacity on the leaderboard.
"Shan Hongzhi with 80,000 battle power? Can that be real? I've never even heard of him!"
"And Shan Tianming has 77,000? That's outrageous. Where did he spring up from?"
"Damn, no wonder those Plioya braggarts are strutting around—they've got these two powerhouses in their corner."
The rise of every great warrior has a story, like Chen Guo, Lei Kun, and Blues.
They were already making waves on the leaderboard when it first launched, and their ascent to legendary status was no surprise to anyone.
But these Shan Brothers, they're like a bolt from the blue, shooting up the ranks and even surpassing Lei Kun and Blues, second only to Chen Guo. That's raising some eyebrows.
Witnessing the Jutrelians' astonishment, the Plioyains grew even bolder, their gloating faces almost contorted with pride.
"See that? How about the Shan Brothers' fighting strength? I'm telling you, they're even more formidable in reality!"
"Yeah, Boss Shan Hongzhi possesses the Kaleidoscopic Sharingan—a divine-level ability!"
"Shan Tianming can unleash Immortal Mode, making his fighting strength unquestionably superior to Boss Guangcheng. And your Guangcheng? Aside from the numbers, his real combat prowess is questionable!"
The Plioyains heaped praise upon the Shan Brothers, with some well-informed individuals even spilling their secret weapons.
Kaleidoscopic Sharingan?
Immortal Mode?
Those abilities do sound incredibly potent.
The Jutrelians were starting to worry.
Still, many Jutrelians shot back:
"So what? Your Plioya Shan Brothers still don't measure up to Boss Guangcheng!"
"Boss Guangcheng alone can wipe out an entire village. Can the Shan Brothers match that?"
"Boss Guangcheng has set world records. Can the Shan Brothers claim the same?"
"Shan, you're a dead man!"
The Jutrelians either hurled insults or cited data and battle records to fiercely confront the Shan Brothers.
Currently, Chen Guo's fighting capacity and achievements towered over the Shan Brothers. With the Jutrelians making such claims, the Plioyans found themselves at a loss for words.
Amidst the fiery debate on the main server channel, the Shan Brothers made their entrance.
Shan Hongzhi boasted arrogantly, "It seems that you Jutrelians, a lowly nation, are unaware of our mighty Plioya. You've elevated Guangcheng to mythical status, but we're here to shatter that myth!"
Shan Tianming declared, "We will defeat your Guangcheng, the one who has killed your people, and dismantle the legend of Jutrela. With the abundant martial virtue of our great Plioya, we will emasculate your national spirit!"
Their presumptuous remarks instantly drew the scorn and mockery of the Jutrelians.
"Do you really think you're up to the task?"
"And who exactly are you?"
"Your fighting strength doesn't even come close to Boss Guangcheng's, yet you spout such nonsense? You truly have no idea of your own limits!"
Unfazed by the Jutrelians' jeers, the Shan Brothers stood their ground.
Shan Tianming said, "Alone, I may not match Guangcheng's strength, but together, my brother and I are a formidable force. United, Guangcheng doesn't stand a chance against us!"
Shan Hongzhi added, "Exactly, when we brothers stand together, we're unstoppable!"
The Shan Brothers shamelessly proposed a two-on-one fight. Yet, they weren't entirely wrong; while individually they might be slightly less powerful than Chen Guo, together they could indeed overpower him.
This left the Jutrelians both worried and infuriated.
"Two against one, and you still have the audacity to speak? Is this the kind of shamelessness Plioyans are known for?"
"Utterly disgraceful! Have the courage to face him one-on-one!"
"Shan, you're going to get it!"
"Shan, your ancestors will pay for this!"
"Shan, your ancestors will pay for this!"
The Jutrelians continued their tirade. If Shan's ancestors were indeed real, they would have been cursed billions of times over.
Shan Hongzhi merely scoffed with contempt. To him, it was nothing more than the lamentations of the powerless.
"Watch closely, you Jutrelian scum. Witness how I shatter your myths and crush your morale!" Shan Hongzhi bellowed with laughter. "Plioya is unbeatable, Tianzhao is unbeatable, Xuzuo is unbeatable, Yue Zhaoge is unbeatable, long live Plioya!"
Explorer Shan Hongzhi had invoked the command of Tianzhao to issue a declaration of war on Beginner Village 996!
