Chapter 825: Explosive News

"Additionally…"

"The reason we have joined forces to cultivate this elite army is to prepare for the first large-scale offensive deep into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons in the near future!"

General Zhou's tone was calm.

But Ling Zhan could feel the overwhelming determination and grandeur behind it!

Indeed…

The entire world had suffered under the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons for too long!

The other three forbidden zones still had controllable battle power.

But this Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons…

Had always remained completely out of control.

After so many years of development, the nations had decided not to defend any longer! No longer would they passively endure!

Instead, they would take the offensive!

They would launch the first invasion into the inner world of the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons!

Only by doing so could they truly gain a deeper understanding of the abyss.

The nations were no longer willing to coexist with the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons!

They were determined to eradicate this race of monsters that had been continuously siphoning off the earth's core energy!

No wonder so many top powerhouses and prodigies from around the world had recently arrived in the Ten Thousand Demons Continent.

It was indeed time to launch a full-scale assault.

Ling Zhan nodded and accepted the mission.

Seeing that Ling Zhan did not refuse, General Zhou looked at him with even greater satisfaction.

"General Zhou, actually, I have a question…"

"Speak freely," General Zhou replied.

"I'm curious—why was this specific time chosen to launch a full-scale invasion into the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons?" Ling Zhan asked.

Over the years, despite the ongoing battles against the abyss, the overall situation had already stabilized.

With the nations working together, they had long had opportunities for a counteroffensive.

So why choose now?

"The reason is quite simple…"

"Most of the peak level 190 powerhouses from all nations have reached level 199."

"And their experience bars are nearly full."

"Once they reach level 200, they will qualify for ascension to the Upper Realm and the chance to undergo the Heavenly Void Trial."

"If most of these level 200 veterans choose to ascend rather than stay, it would mean a major loss in strength for the nations."

"That's why we must launch the offensive before this top-tier force reaches level 200."

"Otherwise, who knows how many more years we'll have to wait…"

General Zhou answered with a smile.

Hearing this, Ling Zhan hadn't expected such an answer.

"Alright, go rest. Tomorrow, someone will take you to the Demon-Slaying Legion's camp."

"At that time, you'll meet the members of the legion."

"Prepare yourself—being an instructor for the Demon-Slaying Legion is no easy task."

"Before you, over a dozen instructors have been forced to resign."

General Zhou waved his hand, reminding him with a smile before turning away to handle other affairs.

However, after hearing this, Yun Man confidently said, "Tch! Those so-called Demon-Slaying Legion members should be grateful that my master, such an exceptional powerhouse, is willing to be their instructor."

"If they dare show attitude, we'll make sure they learn why the flowers bloom so red!"

"Exactly!" Meng Shuang nodded firmly.

"Gawoo!" The little holy dragon voiced its agreement.

"Mii!" The little golden crow also agreed.

...

After General Zhou left the scene.

He immediately reported this decision to the high-level officials of various nations.

As expected.

The top officials of the other nations were shocked by Dragon Kingdom's proposal.

Appointing a level 160 non-specialist wanderer as an instructor for a group of top-tier powerhouses mostly at level 170-180…

It was certain that those powerhouses would explode in outrage.

More importantly, the new instructor looked like he had just entered his early twenties.

He was too young.

It would be difficult for him to command respect.

Additionally,

The members of the Demon-Slaying Legion were all native-born powerhouses of the Ten Thousand Demons Continent.

Since the continent had no direct internet connection with the outside world, their information was somewhat isolated.

Therefore…

It was highly likely that the members of the Demon-Slaying Legion had never even heard of Ling Zhan.

Communication between the Ten Thousand Demons Continent and the outside world relied solely on warships transporting intelligence back and forth.

There was no other way…

The layer of chaotic space between the continent and the surface made it impossible to establish a stable network connection.

They had previously attempted to construct a highly durable spatial tunnel to facilitate magical network communication.

But unfortunately, the project ultimately failed.

Even space pipelines crafted from SSS-rank materials couldn't last long before being destroyed by the chaotic-space monsters.

"Couldn't one of Dragon Kingdom's Ten Great Generals serve as the instructor instead?"

"Just appoint Ling Zhan as an assistant instructor."

"It's not that we underestimate Ling Zhan, but doing so would also avoid unnecessary trouble."

"After all, the young members of the Demon-Slaying Legion are highly competitive and aggressive."

A high-ranking official from the Holy Light Empire shook his head.

"I actually think this is a good idea."

"The young ones in the Demon-Slaying Legion have had it too easy, to the point where they're arrogant and can't see anyone else in their eyes."

"Letting Ling Zhan teach them a lesson might actually be beneficial."

A high-ranking official from the Avalon Empire smiled.

The Avalon Empire was a superpower formed by various elven tribes.

It had a strong and friendly relationship with Dragon Kingdom.

"What about the rest of you? What's your stance?"

General Zhou looked at the representatives of the other nations.

The Free Federation was undoubtedly against it.

The reason was simple.

Not because Ling Zhan wasn't strong enough.

But because they feared the entire Demon-Slaying Legion would ultimately fall under his command, making Dragon Kingdom even more powerful.

After all…

If the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, Takamagahara, the Terror Mountain Range, and the Demon's Nest were all eradicated, then once the global threats were gone, wouldn't the world plunge into conflicts over interests?

As long as there was an external threat, everyone could unite.

But once that threat was eliminated, internal conflicts would begin.

Fusang Kingdom initially wanted to vote against it.

But considering that Dragon Kingdom had assisted in the Fusang War Zone, with Ling Zhan playing an undeniable role, they hesitated before ultimately voting in favor.

Fusang Kingdom was now controlled by the Demon-Slaying Squad.

So, they no longer blindly followed the Free Federation's orders.

Meanwhile, Goryeo Kingdom remained the Free Federation's lapdog.

Seeing their master vote against it, they naturally followed suit.

Fortunately, in the final vote, the proposal [to appoint Ling Zhan as the Chief Instructor of the Demon-Slaying Legion] passed with 112 votes in favor and 82 votes against.

As the meeting concluded.

Whoosh!!

The media agencies on the Ten Thousand Demons Continent couldn't contain themselves any longer and rushed out frantically.

They had only one goal!

To immediately publish the meeting's decision and announcement!

Appointing a non-specialist wanderer in his early twenties as the Chief Instructor of the Demon-Slaying Legion— it was obvious how explosive this news would be!
