Chapter 396: Long Way to Go (Part One)
Upon hearing Xu Cheng’s words, Bei Shan bitterly laughed. “You guys also saw today, in addition to its own top of the line training regime, the M Nation people also have a leader in practicing internal energy in the Little Joker. On top of that, they also got a powerful research team to develop cool tech. You noticed today as well, despite all being S+ class, the Demon Legion could basically stomp our 4 Sky Kings.”
Xu Cheng nodded. “Simply put, our tech is inferior to theirs, right?”
Bei Shan nodded. “Now, that the fangs of the 5th Division have been revealed to us for the first time, we can see that they are unprecedentedly powerful. Although four out of the seven demons died today, someone will soon take their places. Our team already studied their masks and background, and those that came represented the seven sins, the seven powerhouses right below the god of Hell, Satan. On the basis of using this background for ranking, then below them, there should be 72 more demons under Soloman. If my guess is correct, these demons could be at least S class!”
Upon saying this, Bei Shan bitterly smiled. “Do you know what I mean?”
Xu Cheng nodded and said with a serious face, “Our 12 Earth Kings are only barely S. If the Soloman part is correct, then the M Nation’s power can stomp us!”
Bei Shan nodded. “Yeah, our Dragon Division still has a long way to go.”
Xu Cheng bitterly smiled and said, “No wonder the old man told me before that it was still just a beginning for the Dragon Division. After that fight with those M Nation guys last night, I witnessed the level of top-tier masters of other countries. I don’t know what kind of powerhouse other countries are hiding too.”
Bei Shan faintly said, “Yeah, they won’t be weak. In this era of peace, all the nations have began training individual soldiers to win spy wars. Every country is developing its tech and industry, no country would just sit still and accept being last. So, they will all try their best to empower themselves while doing everything in their power to steal other countries’ secrets, preparing for the third world war. That day also won’t be too far away. The moment a country discovers the technology to counter nuclear weapons, the world will enter its third war! Otherwise, unless mankind successfully masters the technology of space exploration and migration, the population on Earth will just grow every year until the planet can’t handle it and desperately needs to kill off some people. However, before either of those technologies matures, there won’t be large-scale wars in this world. So, before then, each country will try to not get left behind in the war of individual aces and espionage, and during this era of strong undercurrent below the surface, most countries would have some aces hidden away.”
Xu Cheng looked over to Bei Shan and frowned. “Senior Brother, how much do you know about other countries?”
“Not too much. After all, ever since the establishment of the Dragon Division, our primary mission was still to solve the internal crisis, so we didn’t put too much effort to investigate foreign powers. However, it wasn’t like we didn’t get anything these days. For instance, for our neighbor the Wei Nation, we found that they have actual ninjas and samurai. We did run into a few jounins, they weren’t too strong and were at most A-tier, but their super jounins and covert operatives are probably not so simple! Also, according to the information gathered by your 8 and J of Diamonds senior brothers at your trip to Britain, it seems like the origin of the noble blood in Britain is also not simple. In all the major countries in the world, only Britain has been able to transition from a monarchy to democracy. However, the Royal Family still holds a high level of prestige in the hearts of its people, and this isn’t really normal.”
Xu Cheng was curious. “What do you mean?”
Bei Shan said, “The old man once told us to investigate whether there’s really vampire nobles behind the British royal family!”
