Chapter 451: Indulgence? Spoiling?
"What exactly is going on here?"
Liu Dongsheng looked at his teammates.
"I don't know..."
Li Lei shook his head.
"Could it be that the non-specialist did this? If so, that's way too strong!"
Zhao Ling covered her mouth, her pretty face filled with disbelief.
"Impossible!"
Chen Wei immediately shook his head.
"Look closely at these wounds; there's no magical residue left. It's clearly caused by sheer, terrifying brute force crushing them!"
"Do you think a non-specialist can do this?"
"Granted, he won the Global Championship, so he must have his own unique methods."
"But I don't believe his unique method involves physical strength. How could mere physical strength compete with the world's top talents and secure the championship?"
Chen Wei's analysis was methodical.
The others nodded in agreement.
They never thought of Ling Zhan as weak.
On the contrary.
They believed that for Ling Zhan to achieve double championship as a non-specialist, he must have some special, unique methods.
And this "special, unique method" was precisely what the five Special Corps Captains valued.
But that didn't mean they would worship Ling Zhan.
Because they believed they wouldn't lose to this so-called double champion.
And they considered themselves "seniors."
Naturally, they looked at Ling Zhan with the attitude of "senior guidance and oversight."
Right now.
The gruesome death of this Two-Winged Poison Dragon clearly pointed to a melee physical class.
It was unlikely to be caused by the non-specialist.
"Could it be that a three-turn powerhouse entered before Ling Zhan?"
Ding Xuejia voiced her speculation.
"That's possible."
"After all, this is a wild map resource, not a secret realm dungeon, so multiple people can enter simultaneously."
Liu Dongsheng nodded.
"I get it! Didn't Dean Zhou say he had special means to protect Ling Zhan?"
"Could this three-turn powerhouse be the protector?"
Zhao Ling suddenly realized, her eyes sparkling as if praising her own wit.
"It must be!"
Chen Wei nodded firmly.
"Let's go!"
"Let's catch up and see which instructor is strong enough to protect Ling Zhan with such physical power!"
Chen Wei said softly.
The five continued onward for a short distance.
"This..."
However.
The scene before them deeply shocked the five of them!
In the wide, open valley ahead, countless dragon corpses lay in pools of blood!
Without exception, they were all crushed purely by physical force!
The mutilated dragon bodies continuously oozed purple-red blood, almost painting the entire valley red!
"Holy shit! This is freaking insane!"
Ding Xuejia, the tough girl, couldn't help but react.
She was also a melee physical class!
But even she was utterly stunned by the scene before her!
It was a sea of corpses and blood!
Just looking at the horrific state of these dragon corpses, she could vividly imagine the terror of the person responsible!
It must have been like a tiger slaughtering sheep, going on an unstoppable killing spree!
"Just based on this physical strength, the three-turn powerhouse escorting Ling Zhan must be at least level 85 or higher!"
"This is complete domination, and it's even done under field debuffs!"
Ding Xuejia spoke with a solemn expression.
"Dean Zhou is really spoiling this non-specialist, huh?"
Liu Dongsheng couldn't help but mutter.
Back then, when they were exploring this place, they all relied on themselves.
There was absolutely no way the school would send instructors to provide protection.
"This isn't just spoiling; it's outright coddling! After this, I must remind Dean Zhou!"
"A double champion raised in such a pampered way will be useless on the battlefield, no matter how strong his methods are!"
Chen Wei said seriously.
Clearly, he was not pleased with Dean Zhou's actions.
What kind of nonsense is this!
How is this different from those who like to take shortcuts?
Why is there such a huge gap between prestigious academies and second or third-rate ones?
It's naturally because prestigious academies don't care about status or shortcuts. To pass through the dungeons, you must rely on yourself!
It's said that in second or third-rate schools, students can buy passing grades with money or connections!
That way, they avoid failing and being unable to graduate.
Has Dean Zhou forgotten his principles, or is Ling Zhan the son of some high-ranking official?
Only someone of that level could have the Vice-Principal of Tianyan Academy providing this kind of protection.
"Let's go! Keep up! I want to see how far this nonsense goes!"
"Just thinking about how I fight fiercely on the front lines to protect someone like this pisses me off!"
Liu Dongsheng couldn't hold back his temper anymore.
"Yes, yes! Let's find him!"
Zhao Ling chimed in quickly.
"Let's go!"
Chen Wei waved his hand.
The five of them walked deeper into the Poison Mist Mountains, stepping over the trail of dragon corpses and blood.
But the further they went and saw the horrifying death scenes of the Two-Winged Poison Dragons, the more uncomfortable they felt.
......
......
Deep within the Poison Mist Mountains.
Ling Zhan, still spotless with no dragon blood on him, smashed another Two-Winged Poison Dragon's head with a punch.
Beep, beep!!
At that moment.
The sensing device Ling Zhan carried emitted a warning.
"Reminder: The number of dragons you have killed is approaching the threshold. Please restrain yourself, hunt reasonably, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the wild resources."
This is one of the restrictions of wild resource maps.
Unlike secret realm dungeons, the monsters here do not respawn after a set time.
Monsters in wild map resources are finite; once killed, they are gone.
They can only rely on natural reproduction.
Over-hunting would soon render these wild resource locations barren.
Therefore, the state and schools strictly control access to wild resource locations.
"Since that's the case, I can only bypass them and head directly to the Poison Dragon King's lair!"
Ling Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly.
Roar!!
Just then, another Two-Winged Poison Dragon charged fearlessly.
Ling Zhan merely tapped his toes, and his figure floated backward.
As he retreated, his knees bent slightly...
Bang!!
With a push, a powerful thrust sent him soaring into the sky.
"Arrow Step!"
The familiar skill activated again!
Using the skill, he flashed behind the dragon's head.
Then...
Boom!!
He delivered a punch!
"Shockwave Punch!"
A basic skill of the Qi Master!
The damage wasn't high, but it had a stunning effect!
Boom!
Under this punch, the Two-Winged Poison Dragon rolled its eyes and completely fainted, collapsing onto the ground.
