Full health is the kill threshold, no matter if you're a god or a demon!

Then came the speeches from several smaller guilds.

Some offered 3,000 men, some 5,000, some provided supplies, and some offered a complete transportation line. Everyone who spoke was cautious, with a conflicting feeling of not wanting to be looked down upon, yet also not wanting to reveal too much of their strength.

finally--

All eyes turned to Liu Nian.

The atmosphere around the round table subtly shifted.

Everyone has been waiting for this moment.

The Divine Dragon Guild—a "newcomer" among the top ten guilds—has yet no top members on the power rankings, but everyone knows that once the Void Arena opens soon, the power rankings will undergo a major change! At least a third of those on the list will be pushed down. And the names from the Divine Dragon Guild will undoubtedly rise like rockets.

Those who were interested had already investigated the experts of the Divine Dragon Guild.

Besides Liu Nian, other names like Shi Ri, Wu Zhan, Wang Mian, Wang Mu, Yun Xiangrong, and Jiang Yi have long been in the sights of players in Naraku Realm.

They are a group of people who are not ranked, but everyone knows they are very strong.

Now, it's the turn of the representative of this group to speak.

Liu Nian glanced at the round table.

Dozens of eyes were watching him.

He didn't stand up, but leaned forward slightly.

Liu Nian spoke up.

"The Divine Dragon Guild. 50,000 official members. Average level 170, currently distributed across four cities. We can send 10,000 players to participate in the battle."

"Although we don't have a power ranking, I can say with certainty that the core strength of the Divine Dragon Guild is no less than that of any of the guilds present here."

As he uttered those words, Liu Nian's gaze finally settled on Skylock.

The meaning is self-evident.

This also includes the Supreme Guild.

A buzzing sound came from around the round table.

"50,000 people? An average of level 170? How long have they been promoted?"

"His core combat strength is no less than any other guild? Is he crazy? The Supreme Guild has twenty members ranked in the top 100 of the combat strength list, what does he have to compare with?"

"Calm down, listen to what he has to say."

Skylock's six dark gold eyes stared at Liu Nian, the frequency of the electric arcs jumping in his pupils noticeably increased.

He coughed lightly, and the noise on the round table immediately quieted down.

"President Liu Nian," Skylock's voice was as calm as ever, "could you be more specific? For example, roughly what rank on the combat power list do your core members correspond to?"

"The benchmark is the top 500 on the combat power ranking, I guess." Liu Nian tilted his head slightly, as if he was seriously considering the question, and then gave a number.

The area around the round table erupted in chaos.

"What?!"

"Are you kidding me?!"

"boast!"

"He really dares to say that!"

A dwarf warrior clad in silver-white armor stood up abruptly from his chair. He was the vice-president of the Ironblood Guild, a veteran player ranked 231st on the power rankings: "Guild Leader Liu, do you know what the top 500 on the power rankings mean? Those are the top 500 players in the entire Abyss! You mean you have 10,000 of them under your command?"

No one could believe it.

The top 500 on the power ranking list? The power ranking list for the entire Naraku Realm only includes 2,000 people.

Ten thousand means that the Divine Dragon Guild can create a super ranking list that is five times larger than the system ranking list.

This isn't bragging, this is a joke about the universe.

Skylock also frowned slightly.

"President Liu," his voice was a notch lower than before, "you mean to say that these 10,000 people... each has the combat power of someone in the top 500 of the combat power ranking?"

Liu Nian shook his head.

People around the round table breathed a sigh of relief—it really was just bragging.

But Liu Nian's next words made everyone gasp for breath.

"No, I'm referring to average strength." His expression was serious, without a trace of joking. "If you're talking about absolute core players—our main force of 100 is enough to rival the top 100 on the power rankings."

Quiet.

A deathly silence.

At the round table, not even a breath could be heard. Some people had their mouths agape, some had their eyes wide open, and some had their teacups hanging in mid-air, forgotten to be put down.

"Top 100 in combat power rankings... Does he have that many core players who can rival those in the top 100? How is that possible!"

Drakaya suddenly leaned forward, flames igniting in her amber eyes. The golden runes on her robes flickered with her heartbeat, like a volcano about to erupt.

"President Liu," her voice held a mixture of barely suppressed excitement and skepticism, "you're not kidding, are you?"

She admitted that Liu Nian was very strong, but what about the people under Liu Nian?

She had never seen it, much less heard of it.

How long has the Divine Dragon Guild been promoted? Two or three months? In such a short time, how could they possibly cultivate a core team that can rival the top 100 in combat power? I bet they don't even have many members at level 199.

"Of course I'm not joking," Liu Nian said. "As everyone should know, the World Boss is summoned after we defeat the seven regional bosses and collect all the parts. In fact—"

He held up his finger, as if making a V-sign.

"I only participated in two regional boss battles. They handled the remaining five on their own, and they didn't even send out all their top-tier players."

Someone at the round table gasped.

"At that time, their level was only around 150."

Level 150.

Large-area BOSS.

I solved it myself.

The dissenting voices around the round table disappeared.

What does it mean to be level 150 and fight a regional boss?

The level of regional bosses is generally around 199. Level advantage, attribute advantage, skill advantage—under normal circumstances, a level 150 player fighting a regional boss is like a primary school student fighting Mike Tyson—they're simply not in the same league.

But the people from the Divine Dragon Guild won.

Five times still!

This is enough to illustrate a very important point—the players of the Divine Dragon Guild possess combat power far exceeding their actual level. Their strength, such as attributes, skills, equipment, command and coordination, etc.—all these factors combined allow them to overcome level and attribute barriers and crush common sense.

In other words, their talent is extremely strong!

That's ridiculously powerful.

Dracaya opened her mouth, then closed it again; the doubt in her eyes turned into shock.

In the ensuing silence, someone spoke up again: "President Liu, if I may ask, you said you possess four cities? We only know that you just conquered two yesterday—Graystone Fortress and the Temple of Eternal Slumber. Where are the other two?"
