Chapter 49: District 118 Undergoes a Metamorphosis; Dragon Country Hides Dragons and Crouches Tigers!

Ye Chuyun did not let those people off just because of their pleas for mercy and continued making his designations.
The contestants in the designated areas wailed and begged incessantly.
When they finally realized that pleading was useless, their true colors showed, and they began cursing viciously.
It had a distinct flavor of throwing caution to the wind.

[System Notice: Ye Chuyun's active designations have ended. Neither the Red nor the Blue faction may add any new regions.]

Until the designation process concluded, Ye Chuyun had not realized he had dragged so many regions into the faction war.
[Blue Faction: 32]
[Red Faction: 8]

As soon as this news came out, the contestants from Eagle Country, the Three-River Country, Cherry Blossom Country, and others who had just been wailing incessantly instantly blossomed with joy, as if they had been given a new lease on life.
Sharma Rafi (No. 55): "I was scared to death! Thanks to the protection of Brahma. I never expected this Dragon Country person to be so arrogant, dragging in so many regions. Hahaha, there's no way we'll lose this time."
Park Jung-chan (No. 28): "Hahaha, fantastic! Our Blue faction actually has 32 regions. We can't possibly lose this time."
Kitahara Sosuke (No. 346): "Baka! 32 to 8. This is completely different from the 10 to 4 last time. How could we possibly lose? I don't even know how one could manage to lose, hahaha."
Sam (No. 44): "OMG, Region 118 must be out of their minds, or else they are just way too confident in their own strength."
Liu Can (No. 137): "This is bad. Faction wars require killing fierce beasts of level 5 or above to earn points, and we only have three level-5s. I'm feeling a bit insecure about this."
Li Zhenhua (No. 225): "Forget all that, we'll rack up as many points as we can. Did you see the ugly faces of those people? Just a moment ago they were acting like submissive dogs, and now they're back to their old selves. I definitely don't want to lose to people like that."
Wells (No. 125): "We have at least sixty or seventy people above level 5 on our side. Do you guys even have twenty?"
Miyamoto Nao (No. 752): "Yoshi, victory is secured."
Wang Gang (No. 118): "Everyone, please rest assured. The Divine Ye must have absolute confidence in victory to do something like this. We just need to do our absolute best."
Cai Kun (No. 118): "That's right. Besides, the other side will never be able to guess how many level-5s we actually have on our side. Hehehe, they're in for a big surprise later."
Shi Feng (No. 388): "Hahaha, it seems Region 118 is crouching with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. Well, we can't fall behind either. Time to start hunting fierce beasts!"
Xu Meng (No. 25): "I'd love to see what kind of miracles your Region 118 can pull off this time."

At this moment, everyone in the Red faction did not panic because of the huge disparity in numbers; instead, they were brimming with confidence.
As the saying goes, red qi nurtures a person.
The mindset of those who have won and those who have lost is simply different.
Confidence grows the more one wins.

[System Notice: The faction war will begin in ten minutes. Please make your preparations.]
...

Taking advantage of the ten-minute preparation time, Ye Chuyun hurried to set off for his next location.
Before leaving, Ye Chuyun glanced back at the Fire Copper Mountain with a trace of regret.
Time waits for no one right now; he would just have to come back to mine later when he had the chance.
Furious journey!

With his current physical conditioning, if he were placed back on Blue Star, he would exist like a superhero.
Without stopping for ten full minutes, Ye Chuyun ran directly for about 6 kilometers, arriving outside a valley.
This was his third target, and both the Wood Spirit Bead and Wind Spirit Bead originated from this valley.
At the same time, a massive number of fierce beasts resided within.
In Ye Chuyun's eyes, all of these were energy points and contribution points!

That being said, the condition for obtaining points in this faction war had been raised to another height compared to before.
Only by slaying level-5 fierce beasts could one acquire points.
Speaking of which, he hadn't checked the level rankings in a long time; he wondered how many level-5s Region 118 currently had.
Ye Chuyun opened the rankings to take a look.
The next second, he was stunned.

[Region 118 Level Rankings]
[First Place: Ye Chuyun, Level 9]
[Second Place: Wang Gang, Level 7]
[Third Place: Liu Qian, Level 6]
[Fourth Place: Zhuang Liang, Level 6]
[Fifth Place: Lei Chen, Level 6]
...
[One Hundredth Place: Liu Daqiang, Level 4]

Ye Chuyun's eyes widened.
Goodness gracious, only a few hours had passed—how was everyone else leveling up as if strapped to a rocket?
Right now, their Region 118 possessed at least eighty-something level-5s.
What kind of concept was that?
This meant that in this faction war, Region 118 alone possessed more level-5s than all 32 regions of the Blue faction combined.
What kind of monster-gathering nest was this?
Oh, right, it was his own territory. Never mind then.

Ye Chuyun was extremely happy.
Compared to his past life, the Dragon Country now was simply far, far too powerful.
He believed that under his efforts, their Dragon Country would definitely become the number one superpower in the God-Demon World.

[System Notice: The faction war has begun!]
Blue Faction: 102
Red Faction: 305

As soon as the faction war started, the points of both the Red and Blue factions refreshed continuously.
Before Ye Chuyun even made a move, the Red faction's points instantly doubled those of the Blue faction.
Those people on the Blue faction side were probably left dumbfounded.
Ye Chuyun didn't even need to switch to the regional chat channel to guess the reaction of the Blue faction group.
Haha, it was simply too satisfying to vent his spleen.

"This won't do. If things keep going like this, the faction war will be over before I even get a taste of the individual rewards."
Thinking of this, Ye Chuyun quickly strode into the valley.
As soon as he stepped into the valley, the fragrance of flowers and plants drifted into his nose.
He felt the extreme contrast between the outside and the interior of the valley.
Outside the valley, soil and skeletons littered the ground, and every breath smelled of blood.
Inside the valley lay a massive expanse of flower fields, a sight pleasing to the eye.
The floral fragrance permeated the air, making one feel as though they were immersed in a sea of flowers.
All around was a brilliantly colorful scene, with various flowers competing in beauty, resembling a gorgeous painting.

However, Ye Chuyun immediately held his breath, tensed his nerves, and fixed his gaze firmly on his surroundings.
Beautiful things often harbored immense danger.
Though the flowers were gorgeous, they were also far too large.
Every single blossom stood at least two to three meters tall.
Inside the valley, countless tiny, adorable-looking birds adorned with multicolored feathers fluttered about, chirping as if playing.
This truly was a picturesque landscape of singing birds and fragrant flowers.
Yet, Ye Chuyun remained extremely cautious and tossed an appraisal skill forward.
