"Ling Zhan actually lost!"
When the first and second-year students witnessed Ling Zhan's tragic end, pierced by the destructive bullet, they couldn't help but exclaim in disbelief.
The third-year students, while not exclaiming, breathed a collective sigh of relief internally.
It's a good thing that this non-specialist was defeated!
The scene of Ling Zhan defeating Ba Meng had dealt an unparalleled blow to the third-year students.
All along, their worldview was that higher level meant superiority.
Because a higher level meant higher attributes, stronger combat power, and the ability to wear high-level equipment with significantly better attributes than low-level gear.
As well as the genetic improvements and physical enhancements brought by the second and third tier advancements.
All these were based on the premise of a higher level.
But this 27-level non-specialist had beaten a 60-level second-tier Mechanical Commander in front of everyone!
This completely disregarded their internal understanding of levels!
All the third-year students began to strongly doubt themselves and the profession system of this world!
The levels they had desperately worked to increase, the attribute, equipment, and skill advantages brought by those levels, were worthless in front of this non-specialist!?
Seeing He Chuan decisively and overwhelmingly defeat Ling Zhan, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Their self-doubt was also firmly suppressed.
No matter how extraordinary or unique someone might be, there had to be a limit.
It seemed Ling Zhan wasn't so extraordinary as to be completely unacceptable!
Yun Man, Chang Yue, and Meng Shuang, the three girls, were also filled with astonishment.
Their flawless, delicate faces showed expressions of disbelief.
They hadn't expected that the extraordinary non-specialist who had defeated them would lose to He Chuan !
The killing power of the 'Dragon Slayer' was indeed formidable.
Especially against divine beasts, it had a significant suppressive effect.
But these three divine beast girls believed that even if they faced He Chuan, they wouldn't be as powerless as Ling Zhan was.
Even the five deans on the main platform, along with Azure Dragon Meng Zhang, furrowed their brows, feeling extremely puzzled.
This shouldn't be happening!
Could it be that they had misjudged? Was Ling Zhan, who had held his own for four or five minutes in front of the Night Empress, truly unqualified to participate in the Beast Wars?
Just as these six level 100 experts were about to extend their senses to the arena to scrutinize the details.
An astonishing mutation occurred!!
The spectators, who were discussing and exchanging views, were the first to hear not the joyous laughter of He Chuan's victory.
But his sudden, agonizing scream!!
"I remember that Senior He Chuan comes from an ancient martial arts family, right?"
"That's correct, the He family has practiced martial arts for generations, and they currently have three Martial Gods in their ranks. Although He Chuan didn't pursue the martial artist profession, he grew up enduring rigorous physical training."
"This resulted in Senior He Chuan's strength, physique, and agility attributes far exceeding those of all other Gunslingers of the same level!"
"Moreover, Senior He Chuan probably inherited many martial arts secrets that have no class restrictions!"
"Damn! That makes Senior He Chuan pretty awesome!"
Indeed, he is impressive.
He Chuan's powerful physique, forged from a young age, directly compensated for the Gunslinger's shortcoming of lacking mobility.
"But this non-specialist can cling to Senior He Chuan so tightly, it's a bit exaggerated..."
"Wait! He's actually caught up!"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
On the arena, the two pursuing figures finally converged!
Ling Zhan had actually caught up with He Chuan!
"What on earth happened?"
"What's going on? How did He Chuan suddenly become ?"
All the spectators who witnessed the scene felt a deep sense of confusion and horror.
"There's no need to think about it! This is definitely Ling Zhan's doing!"
The freshmen and sophomores were initially puzzled, but quickly realized and decisively concluded the answer!
This style of battle, where the tide turns dramatically, was all too familiar!
That damned Ling Zhan loved to pull off stunts !
"How could it be Ling Zhan? Isn't he dead?"
The third-year students immediately expressed their doubts.
"Just keep watching! He's definitely not dead! If it's not him, I'll castrate myself!"
It was indeed Ling Zhan's doing.
And Ling Zhan... was indeed not dead.
On the arena, He Chuan no longer had the strength to stand.
He seemed as if something had drained him completely, leaving him to collapse on the ground.
He could only grit his teeth to endure the excruciating pain from his decaying skin, preventing himself from screaming further.
He stared in disbelief at his now completely aged arms and body, his eyes filled with incomprehension: "Why... why..."
The real Ling Zhan finally ended his 'transparency' state and appeared in front of He Chuan.
Ling Zhan's abdomen had a large bloodstain, soaking his Yin-Yang robe with crimson.
His handsome face was also extremely pale!
He... was also severely injured!!
Ling Zhan's expression remained utterly indifferent, but his gaze towards He Chuan carried a newfound respect for a worthy opponent.
The moment Ling Zhan appeared.
The audience, who had thought Ling Zhan was already dead, immediately erupted in astonished murmurs!
They had lost count of how many times they had been shocked today!
"He actually didn't die!"
Not only the spectators were puzzled.
Even the six level 100 experts on the main platform couldn't fathom how Ling Zhan managed it!
It wasn't that they lacked insight, but rather that Ling Zhan's methods were exceedingly strange!
Moreover, they hadn't fully extended their senses into the arena.
After all, these level 100 experts were quite confident that a battle at this significantly lower level could be easily comprehended with the naked eye.
They didn't expect to be so wrong.
The basic skills that Ling Zhan used were ones they had never seen before!
In battles at the level of a hundredth level and fourth-tier, these basic skills hadn't appeared in years.
Even Wang Shi, the dean of the Tactics Academy, only took the time to thoroughly review all the basic skills of various professions in the skill library after accepting Ling Zhan as a student.
Yet, even with this preparation.
Wang Shi could only identify two skills that Ling Zhan used!
A mix of the Thief's 'Transparency' and the Assassin's 'Shadow Sneak'!
As for the skill that caused He Chuan's body to decay and age, and how Ling Zhan avoided the Dragon Sniper's 'Sure Hit' destructive bullet, he had no idea!
"Did any of you figure it out? How did this kid avoid that fatal strike?"
Zhou Hongfu turned to his fellow level 100, fourth-tier experts.
He received no explanation or answer from them, but instead saw the same deep confusion on their faces!
