You should know...
The 'Dragon Slayer' is classified as a 'superior spirit weapon' mainly because of one of its many weapon talents, specifically the one named 'Sure Hit'!
As everyone knows.
All long-range professions have extremely high demands for the hit rate of their weapons.
A powerful long-range weapon with a low hit rate, resulting in frequent misses against enemy targets, is practically useless.
Therefore, all long-range DPS professions tend to choose weapons based on whether they have a 'hit rate bonus' attribute.
In fact, within the circles of long-range professions, there was even a saying that "hit rate is greater than power."
Among all weapons classified as 'long-range spirit weapons'.
They almost all possess a particular weapon talent.
'Sure Hit'.
This weapon talent is similar in nature to the 'Absolute Hit' of Ling Zhan's Thousand Mechanisms Ring.
Both are causality-based weapon talents.
Many inexperienced individuals might mistakenly believe that when Ling Zhan was continuously tracked by that destructive bullet, He Chuan had used a minor skill similar to 'Tracking Arrow' or 'Tracking Bullet'.
But in reality.
These tracking-type skills are relatively easy to dodge.
However, causality-based skills are extremely difficult to evade.
Of course.
For these six level 100 experts, dealing with such causality-based skills is still quite simple.
For instance, Dean Li Manchun, who has mastered time magic, only needs to cast a high-level spell like 'Time Delay' on the 'causality attack,' and this 'causality attack' would be stuck in an 'always on the way' state.
Dean Luo Yang has an even simpler solution: "Come on, try to kill me, this level 100 fourth-tier Priest. If you can kill me, I'll admit defeat!"
As for War God Dean Zhou Hongfu, he would just laugh: "I heard you want to break through my 'Order-Level Absolute Defense'? (Order-level skills are possessed by all professions upon reaching level 100 fourth-tier, and they have a priority far higher than ordinary causality-based skills.)"
As for Han Qiao, Wang Shi, and Azure Dragon Meng Zhang, who are also level 100 experts, there's no need to even mention their capabilities.
However...
Level 100 experts can easily deal with causality-based skills.
But that doesn't mean lower-level experts can.
For instance, how Ling Zhan avoided the 'Sure Hit' from the Dragon Slayer was a puzzle that these six level 100 experts couldn't figure out.
If even level 100 experts were perplexed.
What about He Chuan, who was directly involved?
"How... how did you do it?"
On the arena, He Chuan, who seemed on the brink of death, weakly asked this question.
However.
Ling Zhan felt no obligation to answer him.
Though he managed to avoid death with his techniques, the destructive bullet had still grazed him.
Leaving a noticeable wound on Ling Zhan's abdomen.
The 'Undying Body' S-rank talent couldn't be triggered.
Leaving Ling Zhan in a seriously injured state.
This indicated that the Dragon Slayer's attack also had a 'healing prohibition' effect.
Truly worthy of being a superior spirit weapon.
Ling Zhan slowly placed the tip of his sword in front of the dying He Chuan, his tone calm, "I have no obligation to answer you... I'm going to count to three now. If you don't surrender, don't blame me for making you lose levels and experience."
The reason he didn't kill He Chuan with a single strike.
Was because He Chuan had shown mercy regarding the explosion of that bullet.
If Ling Zhan couldn't avoid the destructive bullet and He Chuan had detonated it directly, Ling Zhan would have died and lost levels and experience upon revival.
But He Chuan only allowed the spiraling energy of the bullet to shred Ling Zhan's lower half, leaving his upper body intact.
This provided a significant window for the Priest class to heal.
For a third-tier Priest teacher, as long as there's a breath left, they can heal without needing revival.
This showed that He Chuan's intention was to defeat Ling Zhan, not to kill him.
Ling Zhan was the kind of person who repaid respect with even greater respect.
Therefore.
Ling Zhan didn't deliver a killing blow. Otherwise, He Chuan would have faced more than just decaying skin and aging weakness.
Faced with Ling Zhan's cold words.
Feeling the powerlessness within him, unable to even lift the Dragon Slayer, He Chuan finally bowed his head in deep resentment and confusion.
"I surrender!"
With He Chuan's surrender, the contest for the spot officially came to an end.
Ding!!
[Congratulations, Host, for becoming the ultimate victor in the 'Quota Defense Battle,' completing the 'Show Off Your Skills' challenge task!]
[All rewards for this task have been delivered to the system space. Please check them, Host!]
As expected.
The system promptly issued generous rewards.
These included a rare treasure chest, an A- level skill book, and a random B-level eternal-type elixir.
Ling Zhan didn't rush to check the rewards.
Because the 'healing prohibition' effect of the Dragon Slayer had already passed.
He didn't even need the teachers to come over for treatment; just by bowing his head, the 'Undying Body' talent activated.
In an instant, the wound in his abdomen healed completely.
The teacher who stepped onto the stage glanced at Ling Zhan in astonishment. She hadn't expected this prodigy to possess such a terrifying healing ability!
But she didn't have time to dwell on it; she needed to hurry and treat He Chuan.
"Wow, he actually won..."
"Even though he won, I feel like I watched it for nothing!"
"Indeed, I don't even know how he won!"
"Damn, it was too strange!"
"If only Li Chaoge hadn't gone home to rest, we could have watched another match!"
"..."
The audience was full of dissatisfaction and regret as they saw the match end this way.
It was true...
The chase earlier had excited them to the extreme.
They had expected an intense and passionate battle, but the later developments left them completely bewildered.
It wasn't that they couldn't accept Ling Zhan defeating He Chuan.
It was that they couldn't accept watching in complete confusion!
They had no idea how Ling Zhan dodged the 'Sure Hit' causality skill!
And they didn't know what method Ling Zhan used to make He Chuan age and weaken!
Could this guy have mastered time magic?
But the problem is that time magic is a highly guarded secret and has class restrictions!
Moreover, to master time magic, one must have a time-related innate talent!
This made the number of mages worldwide who could master time magic incredibly small!
Dean Li Manchun was one of them.
So what exactly did Ling Zhan use to make He Chuan age and weaken?
No one could understand!
It was simply incomprehensible!
The once proud and confident third-year students had now fallen into a deathly silence.
How much shock was contained within that silence was anyone's guess.
As for the three divine beast girls below the stage...
Witnessing this guy overturn He Chuan, who possessed the Dragon Slayer, only further confirmed their parents' instructions.
It seemed this unprecedented and unparalleled prodigy, Ling Zhan, was indeed worthy of the title 'Fated One'!
Choosing him as the master of the divine beasts greatly increased their chances of becoming beast gods!
"Uncle Zhao said this guy's fate and fortune are extremely brilliant. It's not just for us; for other divine beasts as well, he's the 'Fated One.'"
"Sisters, do you think this guy will contract with other divine beasts in the future?" Meng Shuang's cute little face showed a hint of worry.
"As long as he doesn't contract with the Four Fiends' offspring, it won't pose any threat to us. Don't worry," Chang Yue gently reassured her.
As for Yun Man...
Her fiery red gemstone eyes remained glued to Ling Zhan's tall figure.
Just as she was about to approach him as he descended the stage.
Swish!!
Wow!
Dean Han Qiao's enchanting and voluptuous figure suddenly flashed over, whisking Ling Zhan away before he had a chance to react!
This left the crowd, who had been ready to swarm Ling Zhan with questions, in shock and bewilderment.
This...
...
In a certain academy's main hall.
Six level 100 experts surrounded a 27-level non-specialist.
Six pairs of oppressive, powerful eyes stared intently at Ling Zhan.
"Quickly, tell us honestly, how did you defeat He Chuan..."
