C108 Forty Thousand Chickens And Dogs!

Facing off against 41,500 people alone might sound like a tall tale, but Chen Guo's demeanor suggested he was taking on just four individuals.

His approach was so nonchalant, so composed.

Everyone was astounded.

That was a crowd of 40,000!

You could establish a small nation with that many people on a tiny island!

"I don't mean to doubt you, Boss Guangcheng, but we're talking about 41,500 people. Do you truly have confidence?" Zhou Tao asked, eyes wide with disbelief. "Can you really handle that many on your own?"

Chen Guo responded, "Can you gauge my strength?"

Zhou Tao glanced at the leaderboard and gasped, "12 million combat power!"

Indeed, Chen Guo had drained the demon corpses dry, catapulting his combat power to an astonishing 12 million.

It was an achievement without precedent, and perhaps, without future equal.

"Reaching a combat power of one million marks the threshold between mortals and the extraordinary. Against a true extraordinary being, the number of mortals is irrelevant!" Chen Guo declared.

With that, he made no further attempt to hide, unleashing his most potent aura!

It was a presence that shrouded the heavens and the earth!

In that moment, Chen Guo stood there, an embodiment of divinity, his aura so overwhelming that all around him struggled to remain upright.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Chen Guo proclaimed with pride, "When I single-handedly wiped out two villages, there were doubters, yet I succeeded!"

"During my battles in the storybooks, people questioned me, but I prevailed!"

"Facing off against legendary creatures, I was doubted, and still, I triumphed!"

"In the Demon Arena, skeptics abounded, but I emerged victorious, earning the Demon King's recognition as the ultimate War God!"

"Now, as 19 Beginner Villages converge with over 40,000 people, skepticism persists!"

"I will still succeed, for that is what defines a legend: achieving the seemingly impossible!"

"This is the essence of the mightiest War God: unbeatable in attack, invincible in battle!"

"Those who believe in me, join me in the fray! For this is your glory!"

"And to those who doubt, stand with me as well, for this will reshape your understanding!"

"Today, I aim to show the world that numbers don't matter. Bearing the name Guangcheng, I refuse to fall short of its legacy!"

Chen Guo's gaze was profound as the cosmos, dazzling like the galaxy, sweeping over the crowd with an air of invincibility.

A surge of fresh energy revitalized the once dispirited spirits of those gathered. Blood surged, and fighting spirits soared.

"Unbeatable, invincible!"

"Guangcheng Zi, invincible!"

"Invincible, Guangcheng Zi!"

The chants echoed loudly.

Morale at 996 Beginner Village was not just restored; it soared beyond its previous heights.

Witnessing this, Chen Guo gestured gracefully, unleashing his sword control skill. The sword light danced into the heavens, hovering amidst the clouds. "Now, prepare for battle!"

Instinctively, everyone braced for action.

"The monster siege countdown is over. The assault begins!"

"The onslaught will persist for two hours. If the Beginner Village withstands the siege, it will intimidate the monsters. They will withdraw, and henceforth, the Beginner Village will be etched in their memories as a place of terror, untouched by their kind. It will stand as a permanent sanctuary."

As the system announcement echoed, Beginner Village found itself besieged by an endless horde of monsters.

A sea of creatures, their ranks varied, stretched as far as the eye could see. Individually weak, but their sheer number was overwhelming.

And still, more monsters swarmed towards the village, a sight to stir claustrophobia in the bravest of hearts.

The World Channel was abuzz with shock.

"Damn, what's happening? Why so many monsters? And we have to hold out for two hours? How can we possibly withstand this?"

"Hold out we must, for if the Beginner Village falls, we all perish! Push on, fight with all you've got, even if it's to the death!"

"Give it your all, everyone!"

The trial challengers on the World Channel voiced their alarm, then fell silent, each one plunging into the fray.

996 Beginner Village was no different.

Bolstered by Chen Guo's rousing words, the village's morale surged like a rainbow. Defenders held fast to every corner, unleashing their prowess, slaughtering monsters, safeguarding the sanctuary of Beginner Village.

The Beginner Village of 996 boasted a population of 5,000, each with commendable strength. Even in the absence of Chen Guo, fending off the monster siege wouldn't pose much of a challenge. The real difficulty lay in outperforming the other Beginner Villages.

"Trial Challenger Zhou Tao has slain a Level 10 Mantis Demon, earning the Beginner Village of 996 a total of 50 points!"

"Trial Challenger Lin Yuyu has defeated a Level 15 Ghost Face Spider, bringing 100 points to the Beginner Village of 996!"

"Trial Challenger Ying Yingying has vanquished a Level 9 Fiend Demon Elite, securing 40 points for the Beginner Village of 996!"

As the conflict unfolded, the trial challengers quickly realized that the points awarded varied with the monsters' strength.

The rivalry among the Beginner Villages became clear: it was a contest to see who could eliminate the most monsters and who could take down the mightiest creatures, with the points tallied to declare the victor.

The competition was brutal, yet undeniably fair.

With the commencement of the Struggle of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms, each group activated the corresponding leaderboard, ranking participants based on the points earned from their monster kills, with the top scorer claiming all the spoils.

As the villagers engaged the invading monsters, a system notification heralded the start of the Struggle of the Ten Thousand Kingdoms. A gleaming golden leaderboard materialized above the Beginner Village, displaying the rankings.

At the top, the Grierus Alliance led with 4,100 points, followed by the Beginner Village of 996 with 673 points.

The leaderboard, which should have featured 20 Beginner Villages, now showcased a face-off between two formidable factions. The Grierus Alliance, a coalition of 19 nations, had been officially recognized by the system. Meanwhile, the Beginner Village of 996 stood alone.

The points were in a constant state of flux.

The Beginner Village of 996's display of strength was impressive. They had kicked off with a robust 673 points.

The Grierus Alliance, however, had amassed a staggering 4,100 points from the get-go.

The achievements of the Beginner Village of 996 were particularly striking, considering they had only a tenth of the Grierus Alliance's numbers. By a one-to-one ratio, they should have scored 410 points.

Achieving 673 points was a testament to the truth in Zhou Tao's earlier assertion: 4,999 villagers could indeed stand their ground against 6,000 adversaries.

Regrettably, the disparity between the two factions remained vast.

The leaderboard's figures were in constant flux.

Ten minutes into the conflict, the scoreboard read:

Grierus Alliance: 64,633 points!

Beginner Village of 996: 9,338 points!

Far from narrowing, the divide only grew wider.

Within the colossal Beginner Village of the Grierus Alliance, its members wore smiles of satisfaction. Pre-battle, their confidence was high, yet tinged with an undercurrent of concern.

The presence of Boss Guangcheng in the opposing Beginner Village was a wild card; his knack for pulling off miracles was well-known. Could he possibly conjure another this time around?

The odds were slim, but the possibility lingered.
