Chapter 103: Important Words Said Three Times, Your Level Is Lower Than Mine

As soon as Jiang Chen spoke, everyone in the Grand Auditorium was startled.

Such a challenge is unprecedented.

Lu Qingyu was extremely surprised.

Jiang Chen rarely says so many words.

She knows Jiang Chen isn't mute, but simply unwilling to speak much.

When he does speak a lot, there must be a special reason.

Judging from the current situation, Jiang Chen has ulterior motives.

He never does anything without confidence.

It seems Jiang Chen has some feud with this person named Lei Ren.

The problem now stands before Lei Ren.

Lei Ren began to hesitate.

Everyone stared at them, waiting for their answer.

After all, it was they who issued the challenge, yet now they dare not accept it.

Jiang Chen smiled and asked, "Are you scared?"

Lei Ren felt a surge of pressure; they were on the tiger's back and could not back down—refusing now would be utterly humiliating.

Their face would be thrown into the abyss.

Lei Ren clenched their teeth and said, "What's there to be scared of? I'll accept."

The crowd began moving toward the University Arena.

Several masters hidden in the air couldn't help but chuckle lightly.

Li Xueru shook his head and sighed, "This guy is really too foolish."

Hong Jishi laughed and said, "He's truly stupid; someone like that won't survive long on the battlefield, just a cannon fodder."

"He's not only cannon fodder; in an Instance he might even harm his teammates."

"He doesn't even understand the depth of his opponent, yet agrees without hesitation—truly hopeless."

In their eyes, Lei Ren was completely worthless.

Lin Zhenzi said, "If he loses, he'll probably go bankrupt."

Hong Jishi laughed, "Jiang Chen kid, do you know how many points he has?"

Lin Zhenzi thought for a moment, "At least three hundred thousand, I guess."

"That many?" Hong Jishi was extremely surprised.

Even within the Academy

senior students, who deal with Dungeon Quest daily, may not even be able to accumulate 300,000 points.

That's not a small amount.

Li Xueru laughed, "He's a little rich man, huh."

The crowd arrived at the Arena.

At this moment, the Spectator Stands were already full of people, all Senior Students.

They knew that after each opening ceremony there would be such a program, and had been waiting here early to watch.

Meanwhile, the university's healers were also ready.

A formation rose on the Combat Platform, surrounded by a Light Screen.

"First match: Zheng Chengyang versus Chu Feiyun."

Then came the introductions of the two.

Coincidentally, both are Elf Archer class.

Zheng Chengyang is from Feilong Xueyuan, Level 24.

Chu Feiyun is the top scholar of Heijiang Province, Level 16.

Both took a set of ordinary bows and arrows with no attribute bonuses from the Arena, then stepped onto the Combat Platform.

Under the formation's suppression, Zheng Chengyang's level quickly dropped to Level 16.

All skills above Level 20 could not be used.

Everything was limited to the template he had at Level 16.

Even though his level matched Chu Feiyun's, Zheng Chengyang looked relaxed and untroubled.

Conversely, Chu Feiyun appeared somewhat nervous.

Zheng Chengyang chuckled, "Junior, I'm about to start!"

"Alright, senior, please instruct me."

As the words fell, Bang— a bowstring rang, and a sharp arrow flew like lightning.

Chu Feiyun swiftly sidestepped to dodge, and began to counterattack.

However, when he drew his bow, Zheng Chengyang had already vanished without a trace.

Chu Feiyun felt puzzled: where exactly had Zheng Chengyang gone?

Suddenly, a chill behind him, a Dagger was already pressed to his throat.

It turned out Zheng Chengyang had silently

come to his back.

The archer using a dagger was unexpected for Chu Feiyun.

"We archers have the Quick Bow Step skill, junior, you were too careless."

Zheng Chengyang smiled and stepped back, creating distance, giving Chu Feiyun another chance.

Otherwise, that slash just now would have left Chu Feiyun half‑crippled even if he didn't die.

Chu Feiyun this time chose to take the initiative.

After aiming, he drew his bow and fired, simultaneously locking onto Zheng Chengyang.

Zheng Chengyang, while he was shooting, also drew his bow and fired.

Skill: Triple Consecutive Shot!

The arrow split into three; the first arrow accurately blocked Chu Feiyun's arrow.

The next two arrows rushed straight forward.

Chu Feiyun's complexion changed dramatically, and he swiftly dodged.

At this moment, Zheng Chengyang drew his bow again.

Skill: Magic Arrow.

It's not a real arrow, but a magic arrow formed by the skill.

The Magic Arrow travels far faster than a real projectile; as Chu Feiyun dodged, the magic arrow arrived first and hit precisely.

Chu Feiyun was knocked back several steps by the Magic Arrow, letting out a wail.

Zheng Chengyang, relentless, unleashed a volley of arrows again.

Chu Feiyun's evasive attempts were clumsy, and he was hit by another arrow in quick succession.

"I concede!"

Chu Feiyun quickly raised a white flag and surrendered.

Zheng Chengyang smiled and said, "Junior, we archers aren't just here to fire arrows behind the Knight. We must learn to face enemies alone, since later we'll confront more than just dungeon monsters."

"There won't be a Knight forever shielding you."

Chu Feiyun sincerely bowed, "Thank you, senior; I've learned from you."

This is the effect a university should have.

It lets freshmen see their true selves, which benefits their future development.

The tournaments proceed one after another.

The senior students basically win by crushing their opponents.

End.

Having experienced far too many real battles in university, their combat techniques and skill usage far surpass what freshmen can match.

Lu Qingyu also accepted the challenge, and ended up losing disgracefully.

Facing a mage of equal rank, she had no response, was suppressed from start to finish, and finally had to concede and surrender.

Lu Qingyu stamped her foot, looking defiant: "I won't concede; give me time, and I'll definitely be stronger than him."

Han Li said, "It's fine, I lost too; I'll stay with you."

"Hmm, Xiao Li is still the best."

Can a loss still keep you company?

Feng Xiu cannot understand a woman's mind, and Jiang Chen is the same.

The two exchanged glances and shook their heads.

Guys, don't guess a girl's thoughts.

"Next match: Lei Ren versus Jiang Chen."

Jiang Chen responded and walked out.

Lu Qingyu cheered from behind, "Jiang Chen, beat him!"

"Right, give him a taste of color, let him know freshmen aren't always that weak!"

She has plenty of confidence in Jiang Chen.

The two stepped onto the stage simultaneously.

Their respective levels were displayed at that moment.

Lei Ren, Qianlong Xueyuan, Level 21, Warlock.

Jiang Chen, National Top Scholar, Level 22, Necromancer Summoner.

Wow!

Everyone present, one by one, turned their gaze toward Jiang Chen.

National Top Scholar.

Freshman.

Level 22.

The key lies in being Level 22.

It's no surprise for a National Top Scholar who's seen a lot.

But a Level‑22 freshman is something never seen before.

Rarer than a priceless treasure.

"That's him—the one in the Dungeon Hall who set a New Record."

"Right, that person is also named Jiang Chen; I thought they just shared the same name and surname, but it's actually the same individual."

"Not only that, he's been leading people into the Baojun Shamo Fuben these past two days,"

"the kind where one person takes 39."

"I also know—one person gets a Thousand Points Reward, and a single instance can earn nearly 40,000 points; he's making a fortune."

"Now there's a good show to watch; if Jiang Chen wins, Lei Ren will have to sell his pots for cash."

"I didn't expect we'd get to see such a grand spectacle; the trip wasn't in vain."

On the Spectator Stands, the crowd murmured.

Everyone waited as if watching a good play.

On the Combat Platform, a formation shrouded the area, and the two could not hear any sound from outside.

Lei Ren sneered, "Jiang Chen, what a damn National Top Scholar; in front of me, a National Top Scholar is nothing."

Jiang Chen said lightly, "Your level is lower than mine."

Lei Ren's expression changed; Jiang Chen's words were factual.

He continued, "Since childhood I have had excellent aptitude, entered university for cultivation, joined the Academy; a genius like me is not comparable to someone like you."

Jiang Chen continued, "Your level is lower than mine."

Lei Ren's face grew even uglier, "Your class may be strong, but that's just luck; on the battlefield, combat awareness is far more important."

"Your level is lower than mine."

Jiang Chen said lightly again.

Lei Ren, nearly exploding with anger, shouted, "Did your mother never teach you how to speak?"

Jiang Chen's expression changed; he has no mother.

He had none in his past life, and none in this life either.

Murderous intent rose in his eyes.

Lei Ren was startled by Jiang Chen's gaze.

It was the same look, just like the last time in the Dungeon Hall.

Jiang Chen would truly kill himself.

However.

Lei Ren sneered, "You only rely on the Summoning Technique and the skill of detonating corpses; without corpses you can't summon, so what's the difference between you and a waste?"

"If it weren't for the university, you would already be dead."

Jiang Chen said no more idle words!

A Skeleton Warrior appeared.

Beside him.

The Skeleton wielded a Blade and charged at Lei Ren.

A Talisman materialized in Lei Ren's hand, which he then crushed.

A gentle breeze passed, and the Skeleton Warrior vanished.

Jiang Chen found that his Skill seemed to be sealed.

He could no longer summon.

Lei Ren laughed heartily, "See? This is called a Summoning Seal Talisman, specifically used against Summoners."

"Your Summoning Skill is now unusable, there are no corpses here; now you are nothing."

At that moment Lei Ren raised his staff, flame rising, "Fear, even if I cannot kill you today, I can make you feel the scorching heart‑pain of fire."

He tried to see panic on Jiang Chen's face, but Jiang Chen remained calm, showing nothing.

From the sky, Lin Zhenzi whispered, "That guy Lei Ren is unscrupulous, using a Summoning Seal Talisman; this is specifically made for targeting Summoners."

Li Xueru said, "The Summoning Seal Talisman is a mid‑tier item; he cannot obtain it."

Lin Zhenzi said, "It seems someone behind Lei Ren wants to deal with Jiang Chen."

Hong Jishi was untroubled, "They think Lin's skills are only summoning; they are gravely mistaken. Watch, he will pay the price for this."

On the Combat Platform, Jiang Chen said lightly, "Ignorance is the most laughable."

Pressing his palm, a layer of Bone Armor manifested on his body.

Lei Ren's attack arrived; flames rained down upon Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's expression remained calm.

No ripple at all.
