Chapter 85: Thinking of begging for mercy now? Too late!

This raspy, hooligan-like voice was filled with smugness and excitement.

Accompanied by an angry bear roar, a brown bear over two meters long, its entire body wrapped in shimmering radiance, lunged at Zhou Chu.

"Oh? Is that so? Then let's see if you have the ability!"

Zhou Chu gave a cold, sinister smile, and the next moment, the two Undead Mages surrounding him screeched and met the brown bear head-on.

Sizzle!

Immediately after, the two Undead Mages released two Undead Rays, shooting toward the brown bear.

The rays hit the brown bear with pinpoint accuracy, instantly sizzling away half of its health bar!

The brown bear then let out two pained cries.

In his Bear Form, Chen Bo hurriedly reverted to his original form and rushed to cast Rejuvenation on himself.

He had not expected the attacks from the two things Zhou Chu summoned to be so high; he had truly underestimated his enemy!

Under the effect of Rejuvenation, Chen Bo hurriedly transformed into a black panther, his soles turning into a gust of wind as he fled backward in an instant.

At the same time, Chen Bo's voice rang out again: "Meng Jie, what are you still waiting for? Use your Mental Spell to control that brat for me!"

No sooner had the words fallen than Zhou Chu saw a figure flash out not far away.

Meng Jie, dressed in a purple Magic Robe, muttered an incantation and shot a purple orb of light toward Zhou Chu.

With a soft 'pop', the orb of light burst open on Zhou Chu's body, immediately turning into something resembling shackles, but it quickly dissolved into wisps of light rings in the air.

Meng Jie's mouth fell open in shock, and she said in astonishment: "You, how can you resist my Mental Spell?"

Seeing Meng Jie's shocked expression, Zhou Chu raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.

"Sorry, your Mental Spell is ineffective against me!"

Before the words were finished, an Undead Prowler had already arrived behind Meng Jie and, without a word, delivered a Shadow Assault.

Meng Jie was merely a physically frail Warlock; how could she withstand this strike from the Undead Prowler?

To her, this was nothing short of a fatal nightmare!

Meng Jie's corpse collapsed to the ground, spilling a pile of shimmering Assessment Crystals.

At this moment, Chen Bo, who was circling with the two Undead Mages, saw that Meng Jie had been taken out; he couldn't help but curse and used the speed advantage of his panther form to shake off the entanglement of the two Undead Mages.

He lunged at Zhou Chu once again.

"Zhou Chu! Go to hell!" Chen Bo let out an angry roar, streaking across Zhou Chu's body like a bolt of black lightning.

And at that same moment, a sharp claw slashed across Zhou Chu's body.

This strike from Chen Bo was far inferior to the one Lan Ya had delivered earlier.

In panther form, although he possessed an absolute advantage in speed, his attack power was greatly diminished.

It could not cause even the slightest bit of damage to Zhou Chu, who was protected by the Divine Soul Shield.

In Chen Bo's view, Zhou Chu was just a low-health Summoning Class, and he wasn't even wearing a single piece of equipment, so he shouldn't be able to withstand this claw strike.

But when he steadied himself and looked at Zhou Chu again, he was shocked to see that the other party was not only alive and well, but had even summoned another pile of contract servants to pounce on him.

"Holy crap, is this kid really F-Grade?!"

Chen Bo swore to the heavens that if anyone dared to say Zhou Chu was F-Grade, he would definitely wipe out that person for spouting such nonsense.

What kind of F-Grade Soul Profession could keep summoning continuously, and with such ferocious servants at that?

At this moment, the look in Chen Bo's eyes toward Zhou Chu no longer held the disdain and arrogance from before.

Instead, it was filled with fear and disbelief.

He knew very well that once killed by Zhou Chu, the consequence would be losing all the Assessment Crystals on his person, and from then on, he would likely have no chance with Shenxia University.

As the saying goes, a great man knows when to bend and when to stretch; this was the moment he needed to bend.

With a thud, Chen Bo, having returned to human form, knelt directly before Zhou Chu and begged with his hands clasped: "Zhou Chu, Brother Zhou, Master Zhou, please have mercy, don't kill me, please show some leniency! From now on, I will be your beast of burden, at your beck and call, and I will never dare to say a word against you!"

"Oh? Begging for mercy so soon?"

"Chen Bo, oh Chen Bo, you should have shown the same spirit you had when you bullied me! Thinking of begging for mercy now? It's too late!"

Zhou Chu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a cold, cruel smile hanging on his lips.

The next moment, several Grave Diggers swarmed up and tore Chen Bo limb from limb, his broken remains flying everywhere.

Afterward, Zhou Chu walked up and picked up all the Assessment Crystals dropped by Chen Bo and Meng Jie; he counted them, and there were actually 51.

It seemed that during this previous period, many examinees had met their end at their hands; they were truly guilty of heinous crimes and unforgivable!

But thinking about it carefully, he didn't seem much better himself; he could be considered "monstrously evil" at this point.

All told, Zhou Chu had already sent 17 examinees out of the Secret Realm.

But such were the rules, and there was nothing he could do about it.

At this time, among the remaining examinee squads in the Secret Realm, only the squad from Tianhua No. 3 Middle School had not moved.

He Muxue watched the green dots on the map converging toward Zhou Chu's location, her face appearing exceptionally calm.

"Captain, are we not going together?" A Warrior in the team couldn't help but ask at this moment.

He Muxue shook her head and said: "No, we continue to kill monsters."

A female Priest in the team nodded in agreement: "If we go now, it will inevitably be a chaotic battle. We might even end up handing all the Assessment Crystals we've collected to someone else; it's better to take advantage of these last few minutes to kill a few more monsters."

What the female Priest said was exactly what He Muxue was thinking.

The time for the assessment was almost up; as long as they weren't killed, relying on the Assessment Crystals they had worked so hard to accumulate, they should be able to secure a spot in the top ten.

Compared to taking huge risks to fight for that big cake, seeking victory through stability was the most rational choice at the moment.

Outside the Peak Secret Realm.

More and more examinees were being teleported onto the plaza.

What surprised the several examiners present was that Zhou Chu, who had bound an F-rank Soul Profession, had still not been teleported out.

However, what surprised them even more was that even the strongest Daxia City 5S Genius Squad had been sent out.

This result was simply jaw-dropping.

The several examiners looked at the score leaderboard on the screen with grave expressions, only to discover that Zhou Chu's score had suddenly climbed to the first position with a massive, landslide advantage.

This is too outrageous!

The faces of the several examiners were filled with nothing but shock and disbelief.

Even the most popular 5S Genius Squad had been eliminated, yet Zhou Chu alone was able to stand out; this was simply too contrary to common sense.

Just what kind of monster is still hiding in this Peak Secret Realm?

At this moment, an examiner pointed at the leaderboard and cried out in surprise: "Look, Qin Ye from Tianhua No. 2 High School, his score has already reached 115!"

The other examiners saw Qin Ye's score instantly change from a two-digit number to a three-digit number, and the number of survivors also began to plummet.

It seems that this monster hidden within the examination is finally about to exert its power.
