Chapter 546: Mimicking Selection: A Gambit in the Japanese Battle Zone

Japanese Battle Zone…

The distance is a bit too far…

After directly notifying Li Xuanguo’s direct unit to redeploy the returning fighter jets, Yenir furrowed his brows as he reviewed the precise intel sent by Wang Tian.

One had to admit that after studying the complete intel just half an hour ago, his heart had suddenly skipped a beat.

He was even excited!

“The Divine Warrior Project—isn’t this just a replica of the Huaxia Battle Zone’s selection process?!”

“These Japanese scoundrels sure pick things up fast.”

With a cold laugh, Yenir scanned the almost exact copy of the selection process embodied in the Divine Warrior Project and suddenly realized that the Japanese Battle Zone, perhaps inspired by Huaguo, had launched its own nationwide selection.

Based on Wang Tian’s intel, it appears that this move was actually influenced by him.

The Japanese Battle Zone already knew that in the previous dungeon confrontation, it was Yenir who eliminated their opponents!

Especially with the leaked information, everyone was clear that Yenir was the First Spark of the selection series!

Thus, after the shock, the Japanese Battle Zone suddenly recognized the huge advantage of recruiting genius Awakeners for the dungeon.

By concentrating resources on these prodigies, they could gain a massive edge in the confrontation.

It was like a youth boxing match suddenly having a kid in powered armor storm into the ring!

In their speculations, they assumed that Huaguo Military had armed Yenir with top-tier equipment and skills—explaining his terrifying performance in the dungeon.

As if unlocking a new world, under mounting pressure, the Japanese Battle Zone decided to follow suit.

“Looks like they mistakenly think the Military has loaded me up with top-tier gear and support?”

He shook his head.

Yenir knew that if a truly talented Awakener entered the fray outfitted with more than four legendary suits and a stack of consumables,

being bombarded with pure resources, they’d certainly amass incredible combat power.

So, to outsiders, it looked exactly like Yenir won the contest that way.

In reality, however, the Military hadn’t given him any real support—the best loot had all been scooped up by the earlier Peak Third-Stage fighters.

Yet this misunderstanding inadvertently led the Japanese Battle Zone to part with some of their best-kept treasures.

“An epic weapon—rumored to have dropped from a state-level dungeon.”

“The Heavenly Cloud Sword—wasn’t it considered a national treasure in Japanese history? It seems to be a product of a special dungeon, with attributes that are simply off the charts…”

Although he hadn’t seen its exact properties, Yenir still felt an irresistible urge.

He just hoped it wasn’t a fake; if he got it, it would far surpass the one he currently held!

His system-generated gear did include several items tied to real-world history, and weapons like these always possessed exceptionally potent special abilities.

“Three-for-one S-Level Skill—according to leaks, sword rewards are standard, and having sword-type skills is only natural.”

“So…”

His eyes blazed with desire.

Once aboard the fighter jet, Yenir exhaled deeply, barely containing his urge to fly straight to the Japanese Battle Zone.

Both of these items were exactly what he needed!

Securing them would skyrocket his combat power to a whole new level—and the thought of snatching them was exhilarating.

But he knew there was no way to just grab them by force…

The might of the Japanese Battle Zone was not to be underestimated; resources at this level were heavily guarded!

“Not being able to force them doesn’t mean I can’t get them…”

“What about posing as a survivor from the Japanese Battle Zone and entering the contest?”

“With my strength, I’d definitely clinch first place!”

From the intel Wang Tian had smuggled through cross-region merchant channels, Yenir clearly recalled the selection criteria.

“Both Second-Stage Fighters and Third-Stagers can participate, but the maximum limit is Third-Stage Mid-level!”

“This standard perfectly targets the most promising, youngest talents!”

“Third-Stage Mid-level—it was practically tailor-made for me!”

Not that Yenir was being arrogant, but with his current power even gifted Third-Stage Mid-level competitors looked like weaklings—in fact, he could easily mow down every judge present!

“The distance is vast… I could fly over, but how on earth do I blend in…?”

Aboard the fighter jet, Yenir’s brows furrowed even further.

Upon receiving this news, he naturally planned to infiltrate the Japanese Battle Zone.

After all, over the next month, he could head to any battle zone.

But even a cursory thought made it clear: the selection would involve strict identity checks, and once his true identity was exposed amidst a sea of adversaries, the entire Japanese force would come after him!

“Tricking the intel checks shouldn’t be too hard. With Yinglong’s helmet in play, even Peak Third-Stagers wouldn’t be able to discern my true power—let alone access my data…”

“The real challenge is if I have to activate my system panel. And if my strength suddenly peaks like this, I need a credible backstory…”

As he quickly devised an action plan, a fierce glint flashed in Yenir’s eyes a few minutes later.

He was going to take a gamble!

Under normal circumstances, infiltrating would be impossible—but with his ability to transform into an Otherworldly Ghost, he still had a fighting chance!

“I’ll head to the nearest part of Japan, find a way to control some high-ranking Safe Zone officials, and have them vouch for a forged identity!”

“Then I’ll check with the Prime Minister to see if the Military has any disguise gear!”

“Japan is number one?”

“Sorry, I’m in!”

With his mind made up, a cold, almost cruel smile tugged at the corner of Yenir’s lips.

After all, in a contest meant to select true geniuses, casualties were almost inevitable.

Earlier, he had even considered exploiting the Zombie Nation Dungeon to eliminate a group of mid-level Japanese prospects, easing future pressures.

But now it seemed he could openly slaughter a whole batch in the Divine Warrior Project.
