Chapter 104: Such Audacity, To Question Me

Warlock is also Magic Class, and likewise knows many Magic Class skills.

For a moment.

Flames filled the sky, and the Combat Platform became a sea of raging fire.

Lei Ren laughed wildly and said, "Fortunately you are above Level 20, otherwise I couldn't use Level 20 skills."

"My Skill, Fire Rain that spreads across the sky, impressive?"

"How does the burning sensation of the Flame feel?"

Jiang Chen stepped out from the sky‑filled flames, looking calm and unhurried.

The Bone Armor on his body shimmered, completely isolating the flames outside.

For Level 22 Bone Armor, Lei Ren's attack was as insignificant as an ant bite.

Lei Ren was shocked; the situation was entirely different from what he had expected.

He shouted wildly, "This is impossible, impossible!"

Fireballs one after another, Ice Arrows one after another shot from his staff, striking Jiang Chen, but all were blocked by the Bone Armor with no effect.

Jiang Chen said lightly, "Had enough? Your Skill is too weak."

Sparks flickered on Jiang Chen's palm.

A spark landed on Lei Ren's head.

Ah!

A scream tore through the sky.

Lei Ren clasped his head with both hands and knelt on the ground, writhing in pain.

Blood spurted from his nose, eyes, mouth, and ears; all seven orifices were bleeding, a terribly grim state.

The next moment, he vanished from the Combat Platform and appeared outside it.

Immediately, beams of warm white light began to fall upon Lei Ren.

This is the Academy's healer beginning to treat Lei Ren.

Jiang Chen's single strike instantly killed him.

If the Combat Platform's formation hadn't restricted the Summoning Technique, if the formation hadn't protected him, his corpse might not have remained.

Could Jiang Chen truly be helpless?

Could he be merely passive

and being slaughtered?

That is impossible.

He has Bone Armor for defense, and the Flame burning Skill for attack.

In a one‑on‑one duel, these two Skills are already sufficient.

Lei Ren was instantly killed.

The audience, who had prepared sunflower seeds and soda, were all astonished.

They had expected to see an intense showdown, but it turned out like this?

There was no entertainment at all; they only saw a spark flash in Jiang Chen's hand, and then Lei Ren was instantly killed.

That was just too fast.

Moreover, the Bone Armor on Jiang Chen seemed to have extremely strong defense, completely repelling Lei Ren's magical attacks without a scratch.

Under the care of a senior healer, Lei Ren finally regained consciousness.

His face was covered in blood, looking extremely disheveled.

His eyes were filled with deep terror.

When Jiang Chen's gaze swept to him, Lei Ren involuntarily trembled, and he said with difficulty, "I lost."

Only then did Lei Ren realize his defeat.

Although he lost the match, his life was spared.

As long as his life remains, everything else is unimportant.

He only lost some points.

The formation on the Combat Platform was lifted, and Jiang Chen stood there expressionless.

The Bone Armor on his body still emitted a faint glow, making him appear even more cold.

Fei Zhuren stepped forward and announced Jiang Chen's victory.

Then came the points settlement.

After checking Jiang Chen's points, Fei Zhuren also showed a hint of surprise, and couldn't help but look up and stare deeply at Jiang Chen.

"In this battle, Jiang Chen wins; according to the agreement, Lei Ren must pay Jiang Chen 358,000 points."

Fei Zhuren announced the end.

"What!"

Lei Ren let out a scream and jumped up from the ground.

"How could you

have so many points!"

Lei Ren pointed at Jiang Chen and screamed.

358,000 points, even selling him wouldn't be enough.

"That's impossible; he has only been at the Academy for a few days."

"It must be a mistake, impossible!"

"Fei Zhuren, you must have made a mistake, definitely a mistake!"

Lei Ren shouted there as if he had gone mad.

Fei Zhuren looked on coldly and said, "Lei Ren, do you mean that I'm talking nonsense?"

Fei Zhuren's words were like a bucket of ice water waking Lei Ren.

Lei Ren hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, no, I didn't mean that."

Fei Zhuren's expression turned sour; his authority had been challenged.

Lei Ren actually questioned himself, courting death in vain.

"Lei Ren, please pay the points."

Lei Ren's face collapsed completely: "I don't have that many points."

Fei Zhuren operated his Communicator and said, "You have a total of 128,000 points; I'll first transfer those points to Jiang Chen."

"The remaining 230,000 points, you may borrow or sell; just repay them within six months."

"If you don't repay, you'll be expelled; I know your background, and I'll personally go ask your family for it."

Fei Zhuren's words hung in the air as he left in anger.

After many years as Academic Affairs Director of Shenlong University, it was his first time being questioned.

And in full view of everyone—does he have no shame?

Jiang Chen received 128,000 points.

His points reached 486,000.

And he still had a debt of 230,000 awaiting repayment.

Jiang Chen left, and as he passed Lei Ren, he gave him a faint glance.

"You reap what you sow," he thought of Lei Ren.

This guy has regarded me as unpleasant since I entered the university, and now finally self

…eats the bitter fruit, and this isn't over; if we meet in the wild.

It won't be as easy as it is now...

The freshman opening ceremony drew to a close.

Tomorrow the mentors will begin lecturing.

The schedule is set and won't change.

Where they want to attend class is their freedom.

The university never forces arrangements.

On the way back, Lu Qingyu asked curiously, "How did you become so powerful?"

Jiang Chen chuckled, wondering how best to answer that question.

Lu Qingyu said, "Can you take me to run Instances from now on?"

Jiang Chen nodded; the two hadn't never run Instances before.

Seeing Jiang Chen agree, Lu Qingyu was very happy.

The Communicator suddenly vibrated; it was a message from Hong Jishi.

"Prepare yourself; we'll depart in an hour," it said.

Hong Jishi had told him that after the opening ceremony he would take him to the Alien Battlefield—he truly kept his word.

What preparations are needed?

Jiang Chen wasn't sure either and replied bluntly, "Prepare what?"

Hong Shen quickly responded, "Gold Coin."

Points are useful at the university, but outside the world they're mainly Gold Coins.

Lu Qingyu asked curiously, "Anything?"

Jiang Chen hummed, "Hong Shen wants to take me to the Alien Battlefield."

Lu Qingyu tilted her head, "Where is the Alien Battlefield?"

She didn't know either.

Feng Xiu suddenly spoke, "The Alien Battlefield is a real battlefield, the front line of the Human Race; there our ancestors and the Abyss monsters have fought for thousands of years."

Lu Qingyu looked on curiously, "So it's that kind of place; isn't it very dangerous?"

Feng Xiu took a deep breath, "I don't know much, danger is certainly there, but opportunities are plenty; there are

many Instances, and also Secret Realms."

"You can obtain some relatively Rare treasures, very worthwhile."

Jiang Chen went to the Exchange, and after checking and comparing, he tossed all the materials and the dropped Weapon equipment in.

These Weapons could also be exchanged for points, but not much.

Jiang Chen, being wealthy, didn't want to waste time on that.

The gold equipment dropped by the Tyrant was still worth some money.

There were also many materials.

All together, they sold for over 2,000,000 Gold Coins.

He instantly became rich.

He then bought some Basic Mana Potions; the amount was small, but better than nothing.

Other equipment, Jiang Chen glanced at, had no need for.

140 Skeleton Warriors, 70 Skeleton Mages—that was his confidence.

The equipment was of little use to him.

Jiang Chen searched the two Exchanges again but didn't find any Fatigue Elixir.

This potion is so effective; one bottle lasts 24 hours, and it has virtually no side effects.

Unfortunately it's unavailable; looks like I'll have to go find Chu Yao to buy it.

Thinking of that, Jiang Chen realized he hadn't kept Chu Yao's contact information.

He used a Teleport Stone to go to the Dungeon Hall, but still couldn't find Chu Yao.

An hour passed quickly, and Hong Jishi arrived on time.

"Are you ready?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

He had prepared money, and also the food Lin Caier had left last time, enough for him to eat for a month.

Hong Jishi led him to his courtyard and called into the yard, "Lao Li, take us to the Alien Battlefield."

A tall Tower emerged in the void.

Shenlong Tower!

Jiang Chen had seen it before; the last time he went to Mermaid Island, he went through Shenlong Tower.

Shenlong Tower has a marvelous function.

And Shenlong Tower also

can clear a challenge.

Lin Caier had reminded him to be well prepared before attempting Shenlong Tower's challenge, especially the first attempt, which is most important.

Hong Jishi had also said something similar.

He now has two chances to attempt Shenlong Tower.

Only he doesn't know how to use them.

Hong Jishi chuckled, "You want to attempt the Tower?"

Jiang Chen gave a soft hum.

"There's no rush; after you reach Second Transcendence, you can attempt the Tower."

"The Shenlong Tower isn't that easy to clear; it's different from an Instance."

"Many people don't know the timing; rushing the Tower early can yield some benefits, but they're too few, wasting the chance."

Listening to Hong Jishi, Jiang Chen suppressed the thought of attempting the Tower.

He noted to go after his Second Transcendence.

Shenlong Tower emitted ten thousand rays of light, and a multitude of Runes appeared in the sky.

The Runes formed a Teleportation Array that enveloped the two.

"Let's go!"

The voice remained, but the person had vanished.

Alien Battlefield, a distant ancient battlefield!
