Chapter 177: This Is a Divine Swordsman, a Mythic-Level Profession

This is the first time since the competition began that Jiang Chen had a Skeleton taken under the opponent's control, and it was indeed quite novel.

When the Skeleton Mage was controlled by the opponent, the four archers each broke into smiles.

Their team consisted of four archers, who took turns using Skills to ensure the Skeleton Mage could not move.

War King Support accelerated the casting of Skills; in just two seconds, they all received the Skill's boost.

With the status and Skill boost, the archers' combat power increased by at least threefold.

They quickly spread out, each keeping a certain distance, giving Jiang Chen no chance for a group kill.

After controlling the Skeleton Mage, the archers began attacking Jiang Chen.

However, Jiang Chen paid no mind; protected by Bone Armor, he could hardly be wounded.

Jiang Chen flicked his finger lightly, and another Skeleton Mage appeared on the arena, this time a Fire-type Skeleton Mage.

Another one!

The four archers were simultaneously startled, their faces showing panic.

As soon as the Skeleton Mage appeared, it immediately used a Skill.

Skill: Blazing Flame!

A massive flame explosion erupted, and an archer screamed as he was blown away.

Fortunately, he dodged quickly enough, sustaining only minor injuries.

War King Support immediately cast a healing Skill; because of the status and Skill boost, his healing Skill also affected the entire team.

The four injured archers each emitted a healing glow, and their wounds healed rapidly.

Jiang Chen's Fire-type Skeleton Mage stood in front of him, blocking the opponent's attack, completely unaffected.

Although the Skeleton Mage's constitution is weaker than that of a Skeleton Warrior, it is still far stronger than these sub‑Level‑30 youngsters.

Such an attack is merely a tickle to it.

The spectators outside the arena went wild,

Jiang Chen has now become the focus of the entire arena.

People are endlessly praising his performance.

"Wow, he has more than one Skeleton!"

"The second Skeleton is Fire-type!"

"Could there also be Wind-type and Electric-type Skeletons?"

"This is truly difficult; defeating Jiang Chen now seems impossible!"

Another Impact Arrow landed on the Fire-type Skeleton Mage.

The Fire-type Skeleton Mage also fell into a stunned state, temporarily motionless.

Although two Skeleton Mages have appeared, they can still control within the area.

They alternate control and can still reach out to confront Jiang Chen.

As long as...

The thought just rose, their pupils suddenly contracted sharply, nearly coughing up a mouthful of old blood.

Just as they thought the number of Jiang Chen's Skeleton Mages had reached its limit, a Wind-type Skeleton Mage suddenly appeared.

Skill: Tornado Storm!

The tornado roared in, directly striking War King Support.

"Quick, dodge!"

The four archers shouted loudly as a warning.

War King Support reacted swiftly, evading the tornado and only receiving a slight injury.

Yet even so, he was already gravely wounded and hurriedly used a healing Skill.

At that moment, the third Impact Arrow slammed onto the Wind-type Skeleton Mage.

Simultaneously, a fourth Skeleton Mage appeared, this time an Electric-type Skeleton Mage.

"There's more!"

The four archers were nearly desperate; they couldn't help but wonder how many Skeleton Mages Jiang Chen actually has.

The Electric-type Skeleton Mage immediately used the Skill: Five Thunder Overhead.

The electric-type spell attacks are extremely fast, impossible to dodge.

A bolt of lightning instantly struck War King Support, instantly killing him and sending him out of the arena.

He watched Jiang Chen with lingering fear; if it hadn't been on the arena, that blow would have killed him.

The last Impact Arrow

The Impact Arrow also landed on the Electric-type Skeleton Mage.

The four archers, without War King Support's boost, fell into a desperate situation.

At this point, their Skills were still on cooldown; the only way was to defeat Jiang Chen with all their might before the Impact Arrow's effect faded.

"All out attack on Jiang Chen!"

They gave their all, but at that moment two Electric-type Skeleton Mages appeared before Jiang Chen.

"How are there still more!"

"How many Skeletons can he possibly summon!"

"How can he summon so many!"

"Not only many, but also strong!"

Boom— Boom—

Two bolts of lightning struck down, instantly killing two archers.

The two remaining archers felt as if their hearts were dead ash.

They were still firing at nothing; they couldn't possibly hit.

The two exchanged a glance and both leapt down from the arena.

The battle ended.

From start to finish, Jiang Chen just stood there releasing Skeletons, not moving a single step.

A battle of this level was far too easy for him.

Many people watched the fight.

From it they could see that Jiang Chen's profession was indeed powerful.

He easily completed a one‑against‑five.

But the combination of one support with four archers also caught the eye.

Currently the archers' levels are still low, they have few Control Skills, only one Impact Arrow.

Later, when their levels rise, many Control Skills will appear: Sleep Arrow, Silence Arrow, Mass Stun Arrow.

Such a combination has great potential.

Only most people don't realize that what Jiang Chen has shown so far is merely the tip of the iceberg.

Some students at Shenlong University understand this, but they won't speak of it publicly.

There are too many teams in the level Group, and today there will be four rounds of elimination to determine the top eight.

Two rounds in the morning, two in the afternoon.

There is a one‑hour interval, serving as rest time for the professionals.

"I don't know which team we'll face in the next round."

— the next round? Zhang Yang whispered.

Fang Hongxiu shook her head lightly: "I don't know, the Empire says it's all random, and they'll ensure fairness."

"But this randomness does have a certain pattern, have you noticed that several strong teams haven't met each other yet."

The strong teams Fang Hongxiu mentioned are Eagle Nation's Team 18, the team from the Holy Battle Divine Realm number 322, Shadow Transformation Nation's Team 399, the team from the Vatican Sacred Realm number 733, and the team from the Holy Church number 924.

These teams have been extremely dominant from the start, each time crushing opponents with absolute superiority to win.

But these strong teams have never encountered each other.

Obviously this randomness also follows certain rules.

Everyone knows this implicitly, and no one says a word.

The second‑round matchups appeared quickly.

Lin Caier saw the opponent and couldn't help laughing out loud: "Ran into a narcissist."

It's the team of Qin Xiao that we ran into during the open qualifiers.

Back then, Qin Xiao's swaggering 'I'm the top, you're second' demeanor was unforgettable.

I wonder what experiences could forge such a personality.

"So he's a Divine Swordmaster, a Mythological Class profession, which indeed gives him a basis for arrogance." Jiang Chen also saw the opponent's profession level.

"Qin Xiao, Level 29, Divine Swordmaster."

Mythic-level Profession is Rare and extremely powerful.

A bit of arrogance is normal.

Since Jiang Chen's Job Change, the number of Mythic Tier Profession holders he's met is few: Shadow Transformation Nation's Yinyang Master Anbei Yin Qi, Holy Light Knight Ye Jinrong, Sacred Summoner Yi Ning, and his own sister.

The fifth is Qin Xiao.

Divine Swordmaster is the advanced profession of Feng Xiu.

Feng Xiu is a Holy Swordmaster; if he can achieve Profession Ascension, he can become a Divine Sword

master.

"This should be a very strong profession; if one can achieve Profession Ascension, it will become even stronger."

Jiang Chen muttered to himself.

Lin Caier laughed: "Profession Ascension is too difficult; even with perfect preparation, you can't guarantee a 100% success rate."

"Such things can be encountered but cannot be sought."

Jiang Chen understood that his sister's successful Profession Ascension was truly rare.

Even Jiang Ruo had said he almost failed his Ascension.

In the end, it was also luck.

When the competition time arrived, Jiang Chen slowly stepped onto the arena.

This time, Fang Hongxiu and the others simply didn't go up, watching from below.

On the other side of the arena, Qin Xiao also brought his teammates up.

The five wore identical outfits, their aura also strikingly similar.

It seems they often raid together, their coordination extremely seamless.

In Qin Xiao's team, he is the Divine Swordmaster.

There is also a mage, an archer, and two supports.

Likewise lacking a Knight, Qin Xiao serves as both Knight and primary attacker.

Qin Xiao frowned at Jiang Chen: "Just you alone?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "Just me."

Qin Xiao whispered to his teammates: "You all go down as well."

The few didn't hesitate and leapt straight down from the arena.

The Team Competition instantly turned into a two‑person duel between Jiang Chen and Qin Xiao.

This scene made Jiang Chen look at Qin Xiao with newfound respect.

Though this person is unbearably arrogant, one must admit his spirit is lofty.

High‑spirited and proud.

A Mythic Tier Profession has its own pride.

He looks down on the many bullying the few.

Qin Xiao slowly drew his Long Sword, the tip touching the ground: "I originally wanted to face you one‑on‑one in the Solo Competition, didn't expect it to be early."

"I've watched your first two matches, and I must say, your Skeleton

is strong."

"But… it's ineffective against me!"

"If you face me, you're doomed to lose."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly: "You're quite good."

The tone of Jiang Chen's words had the air of an elder praising a junior.

Qin Xiao, irritated, said: "I don't need you to judge me."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "Just speaking honestly."

Qin Xiao, this Mythic Tier Profession, encountering Jiang Chen, drew countless eyes.

Jiang Chen is strong, but a Mythic Tier Profession is not a weakling either.

What the clash of the two would yield, if unlucky, could be a spectacular battle; everyone is curious.

"It's the Northwest Qin Family, they're a Divine Swordmaster Clan, as renowned as the Feng Family."

"The Qin Family Bloodline is strong; almost every generation produces a Divine Swordmaster profession."

"I've seen records of Divine Swordmasters; even among Mythic Tier Professions, Divine Swordmasters rank among the top few."

"Divine Swordmasters aren't scary; what's terrifying is a Divine Swordmaster who has mastered all skills, those skills… hehe."

The match began, and a Skeleton Mage instantly appeared beside Jiang Chen.

Two Auras also instantly manifested on Qin Xiao's Long Sword.

The Auras rotated around the Long Sword, emitting dazzling light.

"Two Star Rings, indeed he has mastered the Divine Swordmaster's skills."

"Level 10 grants one Star Ring, Level 20 two Star Rings; each Star Ring is a top‑tier Skill, and it's said that a Level 90 Divine Swordmaster who can wield nine Star Rings is invincible."

"It begins, it begins, open your eyes and watch closely."

Jiang Chen summoned an Electric‑type Skeleton Mage.

Skill: Five Thunder Overhead!

A Lightning bolt struck straight down.

Qin Xiao neither dodged nor evaded; a Star Ring on his sword detonated.

The Lightning hit Qin Xiao, and he was as silent as a mud ox entering the Sea.

Qin Xiao

laughs: "My first Skill, Elemental Sword Body."

"Within 10 minutes, I can be immune to all Elemental Attacks."

"Therefore your Skeleton Mage attacks are ineffective against me; I hope you can last these 10 minutes."

As the words fell, Qin Xiao was already charging toward Jiang Chen.

His feet seemed to have wind beneath them, speed blazing.

Mythic Tier Profession, each attribute surpasses that of ordinary professions.

Even without status buffs, they remain equally powerful.

Outside the arena, shouts erupted.

Many thought Jiang Chen was finished.

The attack Qin Xiao displayed now was truly too fierce!
