Chapter 123: Beaten up.

Chapter 123: Beaten up.

"How is this possible..."

Hull stared blankly at the scene before him.

His expression was filled with fear and confusion.

There was no doubt about it.

They had lost again.

Ever since that guy publicly stripped him of his clothes some time ago.

This time, they were defeated even more miserably.

Gao Yao and Charlotte, the two girls, were completely disfigured, lying on the ground, their lives unknown.

Ji Wuming was covered in injuries, with not a patch of skin left unscathed.

Although he was not unconscious at the moment, he was half-kneeling on the ground, his face extremely pale.

The reason he hadn't lost consciousness was because of the purifying effect of the golden equipment on his body, which gave him a bit of resistance. He used his skills to disperse the swarm of poisonous insects covering him.

But even so, he was still seriously injured.

Among this group of poisonous insects, the species is not single.

In addition to the powerful toxins, there are also those with a strong biting force.

Otherwise, how could the faces of Gao Yao and Charlotte be bitten to pieces?

Zhu Yaoguang and Hull, at this moment, only felt a wave of dizziness coming to their minds, their limbs beginning to weaken, and their breathing becoming difficult.

Obviously.

The toxins from the poisonous insects began to spread.

Heir, as a Shadow Priest, has a certain amount of support ability, but he cannot remove abnormal statuses for himself and his teammates.

The support ability of the Shadow Priest leans more towards creating abnormal statuses for the enemy.

For example, imposing silence, fear, loss, confusion, and other negative effects on the enemy.

At the moment.

Only Temulis, Anna, and Xi Ya, who had preserved their combat effectiveness perfectly, had their necks threatened by this guy's doppelganger with a dagger.

Being squishy, they had no counter-skills at all.

"The duel is over, Ling Zhan wins."

At this moment.

Han Qiao also timely announced the result.

Several teachers of the healing professions also quickly took the stage to begin treating the injured geniuses.

Bang!!

Those three "Ling Zhan" instantly turned into smoke and dissipated.

And the main body finally appeared beside Qi Biyu, whose eyes were rolled back and foaming from his mouth.

With an indifferent expression, there was no hint of satisfaction.

In less than five seconds, he defeated nine geniuses.

In the past, he might have felt some pride in his heart.

But after experiencing that trial of the heart demon, Ling Zhan's mentality had undoubtedly matured a lot.

Defeating the weak does not justify pride.

Only defeating those stronger than oneself justifies pride.

But it must be said.

The sudden ambush by these nine geniuses did catch Ling Zhan by surprise.

But...

They were too slow.

It was this duel that made Ling Zhan realize the terrifying aspect of the talent "Insightful Control of All Things."

Perhaps in the eyes of others, the sudden ambush by these nine geniuses was indeed as fast as lightning.

But in Ling Zhan's eyes, their movements seemed as if time had slowed down, extremely slow.

As early as the countdown seconds.

Ling Zhan's eyes, as deep as a deep pool, turned a light purple, as if they could see through all things, observing the chanting movements of Hull and Temulis.

Including the preparatory actions of Zhu Yaoguang, Ji Wuming, Gao Yao, and Charlotte, the ambush of these four geniuses was also seen through.

Therefore, during the countdown.

Ling Zhan had already preemptively used the basic skills of the following five professions and a secret realm talent.

The Puppeteer's "Living Puppet."

The Thief's "Invisibility."

The Mage's "Thunder Flash."

The Assassin's "Shadow Sneak."

The Gu Master's "Scorpion Venom Gu" + "Sawtooth Ant Gu."

And "Berserk."

[Living Puppet (E): Consumes mana to leave behind a puppet that looks and feels exactly like the user.]

Then, fill the puppet with "Scorpion Venom Gu" and "Sawtooth Ant Gu."

Followed by using "Invisibility" to enter a transparent state.

Simultaneously, use "Shadow Sneak" to completely block one's own aura.

Add the speed boost from "Thunder Flash" and "Berserk."

Allowing Ling Zhan to flee far away right from the start.

It's worth mentioning that after using "Invisibility," the pool of shadows from "Shadow Sneak" also becomes invisible, making it impossible for all geniuses to detect.

In other words.

From the beginning, the attacks and ambushes by those geniuses were aimed at nothing except a living puppet filled with countless gu insects.

And Ling Zhan had long since safely escaped.

Of course.

After escaping, Ling Zhan began to target the enemy's backline.

Here, Ling Zhan used the basic skills of two professions again.

The Ninja's "Shadow Clone Technique."

The Poison Master's "Paralysis Poison Needle."

[Shadow Clone Technique (E): Consumes mana to create three clones identical to the user, each with 50% of the user's strength.]

[Paralysis Poison Needle (E): Consumes mana to throw a poisoned needle that, upon hitting, can cause the target to convulse.]

It is well known that squishy characters are difficult to resist once they are approached by melee professions.

Especially since these backline geniuses have been focusing on that living puppet.

Therefore.

This gives Ling Zhan an opportunity.

The big guy, Qi Biyu, as a front-line heavy warrior, Ling Zhan personally held the poisoned needle and paralyzed him.

As for the three in the backline, three shadow clones with daggers were enough to deal with them.

Golden Cicada Sheds its Shell.

Drawing the Fire out of the Cauldron.

In just a few short seconds, Ling Zhan once again demonstrated his terrifying tactical thinking and combat intuition.

And...

To be honest.

Ling Zhan was still showing mercy.

Otherwise, the fate of these nine geniuses would have been even more tragic.

At this moment.

Han Qiao and the other teachers watching from below had serious expressions on their faces.

As the saying goes, "Those involved are confused, while bystanders are clear-minded."

The nine geniuses on stage probably don't understand how they lost.

But the dean and other experienced teachers can roughly see it.

Some more sinister methods they didn't notice at the time.

Only now did they realize.

For example, hide a group of poisonous insects and gu worms inside the living puppet.

For example, using a paralysis poison needle caused Qi Biyu to foam at the mouth with his eyes rolled back.

"These nine little guys are no match for Ling Zhan at all..."

"We could have just sent Ling Zhan alone to this freshmen exchange."

"Damn it, if we had known, we would have persuaded our dean at all costs to keep Ling Zhan at our academy."

The teachers sighed with emotion.

A few minutes later.

The nine geniuses finally returned to normal.

Gao Yao and Charlotte quickly touched their cheeks and found that they had returned to normal, sighing in relief.

Ji Wuming stood pale, silent, and emotionally low.

Hull stared blankly, sighing heavily.

Zhu Yaoguang hung her head, her silver hair covering her beautiful face, feeling a great upheaval in her heart for the first time.

The emotions of the other geniuses were equally low, and their mentality had undergone a serious change.

Like eggplants beaten by frost.

Han Qiao looked at this scene, and the corners of her beautiful mouth couldn't help but twitch slightly.

The original intention of this spar was to see the gap between the two sides.

But unexpectedly, it shattered the confidence of these geniuses...

Is this ultimately a good thing or a bad thing?
