Chapter 161

"Holy shit, I'm rich, I'm rich!!"

Not far away, a young man held a crystal in his hand, muttering nonstop.

He was the intern reporter who had survived earlier.

"Hey, hey, hey, nephew, wake up…"

The pig farm owner pushed the ecstatic intern reporter helplessly and said, "We're not out of danger yet. Those bigshots are at least Tier 7 — any random skill from them and we're done for!"

"Uncle, if I really die, remember to take this recording crystal back to my parents for me. With this, they'll be set for life!"

The intern reporter sobered up and solemnly instructed the pig farm owner.

It was as if…

He really was making out a will.

The pig farm owner: "…"

It was just an offhand remark — he hadn't expected this dumb kid to take it seriously.

Still, the danger really hadn't passed yet.

Even he couldn't guarantee surviving the bigshots' fight. Suddenly, he pointed in a direction and said, "Let's go that way — it'll definitely be safe!"

The intern reporter looked and immediately felt his scalp go numb.

That figure…

A nightmare from a few years ago.

The Disciplinary Director, Yu Zhilin!

………………

"Damn it!!"

Gui Ling saw the scene before him and was instantly furious.

The Wang family was an important "partner" of theirs. The Wang family head had actually died right before his eyes, and the contact person Wang Ziquan's corpse was also lying there, especially wretched.

There are some things that simply cannot be tolerated.

"Second, you hold off Old Ghost — I'll go deal with Luo Chenyu!"

Gui Wu didn't hesitate at all, directly raising a gray shield in front of He Tian, looking very much like no one could get past to help without stepping over his corpse.

At the same time, Gui Wu swept his greatsword sideways, and countless skeletons and zombies appeared out of thin air.

Surrounding He Tian among them.

He Tian frowned.

Death Knight — the most annoying thing about them was these summons. The damage wasn't high, but they were extremely tanky and clingy.

Most importantly, his "880" crowd-control-break skill was still on cooldown.

If he got crowd-controlled, it would be very troublesome.

"Old He, I'll help you!"

At that moment, a figure rushed over — it was Su Xing!

He Tian blocked the skeletons and zombies while being utterly speechless.

"Why the hell don't you go help Luo Chenyu? Do I need your damn help?"

As a retired veteran and a school principal, he couldn't even read the battlefield situation at a critical moment — that was just absurd!

However…

Su Xing joined the fight and shook his head at the same time, saying, "He doesn't need my help!"

He Tian: "???"

Doesn't need it? How could that be!

Immediately, he turned his gaze toward Luo Chenyu's direction.

He saw…

Luo Chenyu was swinging a vicious spiked club, repeatedly smashing the stunned-in-place Gui Ling.

"Huh? This… that's not scientific!"

A student who hadn't even completed his third advancement and had just changed class was actually going head-to-head with a Tier 7 Shadow Sorcerer, and seemed to be gaining the upper hand — who would believe this if they heard it!

But reality was right before his eyes, and he had no choice but to believe it.

As an old rival, he naturally knew Gui Ling's strength. The fight over there would probably get even more interesting!

………………

Just as He Tian had said.

Luo Chenyu looked at the damage he had dealt and was somewhat dumbfounded.

Four hundred thousand shield value, with at least forty thousand bonus damage, plus his extremely high Strength and the boost from numerous traits.

But every attack on the black-clothed man before him — all the damage added together — was barely less than a hundred thousand.

And although the gray shield on the black-clothed man had also lost quite a bit of shield value, it still hadn't broken.

How bizarre!

Fighting beasts really wasn't much fun, after all.

Fighting people was where the real endless fun lay.

And at this moment.

Gui Ling also woke from his stun, saw that he had lost over five hundred thousand HP, and was instantly stunned.

That was more than 20% of his total HP.

How much time had passed…

Coming to his senses, Gui Ling instantly cast his signature skill, 【Shadow Touch】.

A Tier 7 control skill, one that also comes with massive shadow damage, and most importantly, is instant-cast—able to catch the enemy off guard.

Sizzle sizzle sizzle!

The dark-green Shadow Touch was indeed undetected.

But after Zero blocked Luo Chenyu's attack, he was utterly stunned.

Apart from some negligible true damage, Shadow Touch had caused absolutely no effect.

Where's the control?

Where's the damage?

Damn it, that was a Tier 7 special skill!

Over all these years, aside from a mere handful of people, no one has ever been able to escape Shadow Touch's sneak attack.

And that handful of people all relied on their keen perception to dodge the skill.

Not a single one of them tanked it head-on.

Now…

This person has appeared!

"Stinky rat, spacing out in the middle of a fight isn't a good idea!"

Boom!!

A terrifying force invaded, and Zero's body uncontrollably flew backward.

Not just that.

Within a hundred meters of Luo Chenyu, all the fierce beasts, demonic filth, black-clothed men, as well as Gui Wu and his summons—some died, some were sent flying…

Steel Shield—directional detonation!

This was a technique Luo Chenyu had researched and developed.

He couldn't tell friend from foe among those around him, so he could only lock onto those confirmed as enemies and bomb them.

Don't think that just because he's a brute, he doesn't know how to study his skills.

I, Mr. Luo, am very clever!

Luo Chenyu didn't stop his offensive stride, closing the distance to the flying-back Zero in one burst of speed.

Frenzied Slaughter!

Zero's body, flying backward, was instantly pinned in place; though the massive inertia wasn't enough to wound him, his whole body felt terribly uncomfortable.

Boom!!

Boom!!

……

The ferocious spiked club transformed into a sky-covering black curtain, slamming into his grey shield—within less than a second, the grey shield shattered.
