Not enough.\" Luo Jun glanced at Wang Zhengguang, his eyes filled with contempt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhengguang narrowed his eyes immediately; an assassin class against a warrior class is already difficult to fight, and he would rather face Zhuge Ni than face Luo Jun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But since he had drawn him, he could only give it his all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Class and level display complete, the fourth round of the competition begins!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the proctor's voice fell, Wang Zhengguang vanished from the arena like a ghost; the speed of the Rainbow Blade class could be described as dazzling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jun's gaze turned sharp in an instant; he brandished the black spear in his hand, dancing out several spear shadows, and the sound of clashing metal immediately rang out across the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone knew that Wang Zhengguang was attacking with all his might, but they could not catch a glimpse of Wang Zhengguang's figure; it looked as if Luo Jun was performing spear techniques alone on the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So terrifying!

Right now, Wang Zhengguang is suppressing Luo Jun throughout the entire fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the arena, Luo Jun kept defending, unable to even touch Wang Zhengguang's clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's not what I think, but that he will definitely lose. Attacking with full force from the start, if he can't take down Luo Jun in a short time, the moment his stamina drops is the moment for Luo Jun's counterattack.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And although Luo Jun looks like he has been turtling in defense, he has been at ease the whole time, using the sturdiness of the spear in his hand to block attacks; every strike is just right. As one wanes and the other waxes, Wang Zhengguang is bound to lose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Chengxin expressed her opinion without any avoidance, and the look Lin Yuan gave her became much more solemn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person in charge of the Supreme Academy indeed had a sharp eye; his view was the same as Su Chengxin's.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, not long after Su Chengxin stated her judgment, the situation on the arena began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maintaining high-speed movement for a long time was a significant drain for Wang Zhengguang, and his speed could not help but slow down a fraction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And at the very moment his speed dropped, Luo Jun, like a fierce tiger that had been lurking for a long time, erupted instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gripped the black spear in his hand tightly, dancing out countless black spear shadows, stabbing toward the vital points all over Wang Zhengguang's body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This strike was an opportunity Luo Jun had waited a long time for, and he gave Wang Zhengguang no chance to react at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhengguang's expression changed, and he tried to block.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in a head-on battle, how could he possibly be a match for Luo Jun?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jun's black spear bit toward Wang Zhengguang like a giant black dragon; Wang Zhengguang knocked it into mid-air, but Luo Jun took the opportunity to grab the tail of the spear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Shadow Heavy Break!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black spear, like a giant pillar supporting the sky, was swung directly down toward Wang Zhengguang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhengguang raised his two daggers to block, but was smashed directly onto his knees on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp, teeth-gritting sound rang out; it was the sound of Wang Zhengguang's kneecaps shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Zhengguang let out a shrill scream, curling up on the ground while clutching his knees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone's heart sank slightly; none of them expected Luo Jun to strike so heavily!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, two doctors went onto the stage to carry Wang Zhengguang down; his injuries were too severe and he had to be treated immediately, otherwise, it might affect his future class-changing career.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Jun walked off the stage expressionlessly, and this also signaled the end of the fourth round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including Ye Lin, there are now seven people left, which also means that in this round, one more person will receive a bye and advance directly to the final four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can't be that uncanny, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing in front of the draw box, Ye Lin's expression was a bit strange; he reached his hand into the box and touched a small ball.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intuition told him that this small ball was very likely the one for the bye, but Ye Lin did not believe in bad luck and took it out directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the facts proved that Ye Lin's intuition was indeed quite accurate; Lin Yuan took one look at his ball and announced directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Examinee Ye Lin, fifth round, bye.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1330,"2026-06-21T02:52:47.916Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","3b9a261269a259967f90704a8f030e3189ad84b4d6adea322dbab060e5863aa8","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-60","forbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-chapter-58",847,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fforbidden-spellcasters-have-short-lives-i-have-a-cover.jpg"]
