Long Qingtian, who was in the midst of meditation, only felt a flutter in his heart. He opened his eyes and glanced at the message that had come through.
When Long Qingtian saw the message, his eyes instantly widened, and even his mouth, due to the shock, opened slightly.
He was stunned by this message.
He had sent Wang Ye to Ninja Country.
But the key issue was that he had sent Wang Ye to Ninja Country with the intention of discussing potential cooperation between Ninja Country and Dragon Country.
He certainly hadn't sent Wang Ye to directly engage in combat with the Ninja King!
After all, Wang Ye was strong enough; if he were to fight the Ninja King, there wouldn't be any problem.
In terms of cooperation, first one convinces with reason, and if that doesn't work, then one convinces with force, all just to foster cooperation and facilitate friendlier exchanges.
But, Wang Ye's strength was not on par with the Ninja King's!
The Ninja King's strength was at triple S-rank, while Wang Ye was at the peak of Second Rank Martial Man.
"Wang Ye is not the kind of person to take action rashly, and if he does so, it's certain he has at least a fifty percent chance of success, if not a hundred. Could it be that Wang Ye really has the confidence to defeat the Ninja King?"
When Long Qingtian thought about this, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Long Qingtian naturally had some communication with Zhumu Youndou and knew what kind of person Zhumu Youndou was. With Wang Ye's strength, going to Ninja Country would definitely incur Duanmu Youndou's disdain.
He was curious to see how Wang Ye would resolve this situation when facing it.
He had helped Wang Ye think of many ways to solve problems, but the one he never expected was that Wang Ye would choose to directly engage in combat with Zhumu Youndou.
Interesting.
Long Qingtian didn't return to his meditation but instead lay back in his chair, now looking forward to what would happen.
Since Wang Ye himself was confident about defeating Zhumu Youndou, perhaps he could look forward to the good news of Wang Ye winning.
Half an hour later.
Wang Ye and Zhumu Youndou stood on a dueling platform.
This platform was different from the metal ones in Dragon Country, being constructed entirely of sacred wood from shrines.
In Ninja Country, it was believed that the wood from shrines, having been inhabited by "deities" over the years, contained a special power that could constrain the forces unleashed during a battle to a certain extent.
Thereby preventing harm to the other people present.
Upon hearing this, a look of stark disbelief crossed Wang Ye's face, but since that was what Ninja Country had decreed, he refrained from further comment.
One still had to show respect for local customs.
What made Wang Ye uncomfortable in Ninja Country was never about customs. It was about the ninja guys in Ninja Country who, on the surface, performed every action with extreme politeness, but in reality, had no sense of propriety, righteousness, integrity, or shame in their hearts.
They only treated it as a formality.
While Ninja Country was live broadcasting to its own people, the journalists from Dragon Country also transmitted the live broadcast back to Dragon Country.
Dragon Country's netizens, upon seeing Wang Ye, immediately showered him with praise.
On the dueling platform.
Zhumu Youndou bowed slightly towards Wang Ye and then stretched out his hand forward, making a "please" gesture before he finally spoke to Wang Ye, "Wang Ye, let's begin the challenge now."
"Of course."
Wang Ye didn't make any pretentious gestures;, instead, he looked towards the referee at the side and signaled to the referee that he was ready.
However, the Ninja Country's referee seemed to have poor eyesight; after Wang Ye made a gesture to him, the referee didn't respond immediately, as if he saw nothing at all.
Wang Ye gave the Ninja Country's referee another look, but still, there was no reaction.
After making a few more gestures, Wang Ye somewhat helplessly spoke to the Ninja Country referee, "Alright, we can start the fight now."
There was no helping it; the Ninja Country's referee had somewhat poor eyesight.
It was useless to just watch the movements.
You needed to speak up.
"Begin!"
Indeed, this time the Ninja Country's referee spoke up promptly and decisively.
The moment the Ninja Country referee spoke, Wang Ye unleashed his water prowess.
After breaking through to the Peak of Second Rank Martial Man, Wang Ye's mastery in using water prowess had improved significantly, and he had more ways to utilize it.
The water prowess transformed into a giant dragon, roaring as it rushed toward the direction of the Ninja King.
"Secret Moves. Shadow Clone."
In an instant, the Ninja King created ten clones, which surrounded Wang Ye and kept moving while circling him, making it impossible for Wang Ye to determine which one was the real body.
The water dragon that had been charging straight forward hesitated in mid-air for a moment.
It was obvious that it hesitated because it did not know which direction to attack next.
A disdainful smirk appeared at the corner of the Ninja King's mouth. To him, Wang Ye was merely at the Peak of Second Rank Martial Master, yet he dared to challenge the Ninja King. Wasn't that just asking to be defeated by him?
Amidst his contempt, the Ninja King's real body charged toward the direction where Wang Ye was.
This scene was captured by the live cameras and witnessed by the netizens of Dragon Country.
"Holy shit, ninjutsu, shadow clones! I've only seen this stuff in anime before, and I used to think it was all make-believe, but who would've thought it's actually real! I'm seeing this in real life!"
"If the Ninja King were fighting someone from another country, I might have hoped for the Ninja King to win, but now, I just hope our President Wang can triumph!"
"What's the big deal with clones? In the face of our President Wang's penetrating vision, all these flashy skills are useless. He can easily take down the Ninja King!"
Although the netizens from Dragon Country did not know the difference in strength between Wang Ye and Zhumu Youndou, the people of Dragon Country just felt that Wang Ye would definitely defeat Zhumu Youndou.
They had an unmatched confidence in Wang Ye.
On the other hand, the watching Ninja Guys from Ninja Country scornfully jeered at Wang Ye:
"This Wang Ye from Dragon Country, even if he is really powerful, the thought of challenging our Ninja King is nothing but a pipe dream."
"Right, it's beyond me what Wang Ye is thinking. He will surely fail. He's no match for the Ninja King."
