Chapter 161 Intermediate Professional Competition
Realizing that he seemed to have done something stupid, Lin Manman greeted Meng Wenbin with wandering eyes and prepared to slip away.
"Wait..." Meng Wenbin's tone seemed to be full of hesitation.
Lin Manman stopped and turned to look at him doubtfully.
Meng Wenbin was silent for a moment, and then spoke.
"Are you interested in the Intermediate Professional Competition?"
Lin Manman thought about it and realized that she was not short of money now, and she did not need to compete to get a good school.
"I should participate in the regional competition in the Imperial City. When I reach a high level..."
Playing against opponents of similar level is also a rare experience, but now she just wants to work hard to improve her strength. As for the national competition, she doesn't have much need and doesn't want to waste this time.
"I'm talking about...the World Championship." Meng Wenbin spoke slowly.
Lin Manman was stunned for a moment, "Isn't the World Championship only held every four years? And... China seems to have not participated in several consecutive ones, right?"
Meng Wenbin let out a long sigh, stood up and invited Lin Manman to sit on the sofa with him.
"In fact, the World Championship was in name only in the past. The Central Continent itself was caught in the struggle for control of Sky Island. No force really had the intention to host this grand event."
"The various forces in other continents only regard this competition as a talent exchange competition with the Central Continent."
"It's just that since more than thirty years ago, the situation in the Central Continent has gradually stabilized, and the control of Sky Island has gradually become clearer."
"Central Continent has put forward an attractive condition. The top three countries in the Intermediate Professional Competition World Championship can get the qualification to explore the god-level secret realm."
Lin Manman's eyes lit up and then disappeared. This qualification to explore the god-level secret realm was obviously not for the contestants.
After all, you need to be at least level nine to explore an S-level secret realm, let alone a god-level secret realm.
Meng Wenbin caught her flash of expression and said, "You guessed it right, the qualification to explore the god-level secret realm is not for contestants."
"But this qualification is fatal to the attraction of major forces."
"Not to mention the spring of life that everyone is flocking to in the god-level secret realm, there are also many natural and earthly treasures that can help ninth-level professionals break through to the general level."
"You should be able to understand how much influence a super-level nine expert can have on a country and a force."
Lin Manman understood Meng Wenbin's meaning and thought of a lot from Meng Wenbin's words.
After Meng Wenbin captured Fan Chengye before, Zeng Jin told him that the beast wave more than 20 years ago had caused the loss of more than half of China's super ninth level experts.
But when she came to the imperial capital, she found that not only did each of the ten surnamed families have a super-level nine strongman, but also each of the sixteen main cities had a super-level nine strongman stationed there, not to mention that there were also alliance and official personnel. Super strong.
Why did China's super ninth level experts return to their previous level in just twenty years?
Why did China not participate in two consecutive sessions despite such a huge temptation?
The only possibility is that China has won the qualification to explore the god-level secret realm and gained a lot of benefits from it.
This allowed Huaxia, whose vitality was severely damaged, to recover in just twenty years, and maybe even stronger than before.
China has not participated in the World Championship for two consecutive years. It may be to avoid the spotlight temporarily, but... it may also be because someone is hindering it.
Meng Wenbin knew about Lin Manman's talent. It was no surprise that she would definitely shine in such a competition, but he kept hesitating to say it directly. That means it’s probably not that China didn’t want to participate, but that it was unable to participate…
Seeing that Lin Manman looked a little strange, Meng Wenbin also guessed what she was thinking.
He let out another long sigh. "In fact, Huaxia obtained the qualification to explore the god-level secret realm in the first session."
"Because the rewards of the competition are an open secret in all continents, we shot the first one first. By the time of the second competition, our contestants were sniped, and all of them were defeated in the top 64 promotion competition."
"In the third session, their methods became even more despicable. Not only did they send people to assassinate the players, they also encouraged the Beast King's Kingdom to launch a beast wave against China."
Lin Manman didn't expect that the battle between the beast tides twenty years ago would have such a hidden secret.
"That battle directly weakened our national strength, forcing us to temporarily avoid the spotlight and announce that we would no longer participate in the World Championship."
"Although there have been no major turmoils in the past few years, small actions have not stopped. Fortunately, we in China have a large number of talented professionals. We have finally regained our strength after enduring these years."
With Meng Wenbin analyzing the context behind this series of events, Lin Manman's thinking became clearer and more profound.
"So...the reason why Central Continent added the qualification to explore the god-level secret realm to the rewards of the World Championship is to prompt other continents to fight openly and covertly for this spot?"
Meng Wenbin nodded approvingly, "Yes, in fact this is an obvious conspiracy, but no one can resist the temptation of the god-level secret realm."
"Originally, these things were too early for you. Even when the regional competition starts in the first half of next year, I am not sure whether you can break through to level four."
"But the talents of you and your brother are beyond ordinary people, so I can't help but have a little expectation."
"Before, our national power was weakened by people with malicious intentions, and we had to choose to endure it. But now that we are better than before, it is naturally time to make those who have hurt us before pay the price!"
"And now that the power of the Central Continent is getting stronger and stronger, I am afraid that sooner or later it will engulf the other continents. It is now urgent to seize every opportunity to strengthen ourselves."
Meng Wenbin touched Lin Manman's head and said, "I know that it must be very stressful to entrust such a heavy responsibility to you young people and face possibly more and more dangerous risks."
"But compared with the Central Continent, which holds the resources of the god-level secret realm, the gap between our strength is too big. If we don't want the whole nation to rely on others in the future, we can only fight for it according to the rules they set!"
"Only if our fists are strong enough can we have a greater chance of winning in the confrontation. Even if we still can't win, at least we will gain more say."
Lin Manman fell silent. Ever since she knew that Meng Wenbin had the idea of letting ordinary people in China have the power of beast masters, she knew that he was a man with great ambition and righteousness.
Although she respected him from the bottom of her heart, she didn't think she could be such a person.
She has always been just an ordinary person who has a tall person to support her even if the sky falls. She can lend a helping hand appropriately without compromising her own interests.
But let her risk her life for many unknown and irrelevant people? Under huge pressure to compete with a group of top talents?
Can she do it? Is it worth it?
She couldn't help but ask herself in her heart.
Seemingly seeing Lin Manman's hesitation, Meng Wenbin patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, you can think about it slowly. Even if you don't want to, it's not shameful. Besides, you must be able to break through to the fourth level before the regional competition." You only have a chance at this level.”
"Go ahead and go about your business. If you have any questions about your cultivation and spiritual pet training, you can come to me at any time."
Lin Manman saw that he still had a kind face and was not unhappy because of her hesitation, which made her feel even more ashamed.
He nodded to Meng Wenbin and left in a hurry.
