Chapter 180: Dog Meat Can't Be Served, the Priestess Is Defeated

Ying ChuiXue didn't expect Jiang Chen still had an unused trump card.

Jiang Chen's palm emitted a dazzling red light; it was his skill, Slow Curse.

Whether it was Ying ChuiXue, the Knight, or the mage and archer in front of her, a red shackle floated above their heads.

The slowdown was exactly 40 times the original; the Knight instantly fell into slow motion.

Jiang Chen gracefully circled around the Knight and slowly walked toward Ying ChuiXue.

The Knight strained to turn his head, trying to chase, but his speed was too slow; by the time he completed the turn, Jiang Chen had already moved more than ten meters, impossible to catch up.

Ying ChuiXue's smile froze on her face; her attributes were not as strong as a BOSS, her agility only a few hundred points, and now cursed, she was slower than a turtle.

Her smile stayed rigid, unable to produce any natural expression.

Facing Jiang Chen approaching, no matter how anxious she was, she could not react at all.

"What happened!"

"What's wrong with Ying ChuiXue?"

"Curse? They've been slowed down, reduced many times."

"Jiang Chen's profession is Necromancer Summoner, and he can still cast curses—how terrifying!"

Another facet of Jiang Chen's class skill was revealed.

The Skeleton Warrior and Skeleton Mage were already powerful enough, and with the Curse skill, they were simply a terrifying presence.

Ying ChuiXue's eyes were full of anxiety; she tried to have the mage activate a skill, using Resist Fire Ring to blast Jiang Chen away.

But her skill was very special, requiring a specific hand seal for compatibility.

At this speed, she couldn't even draw a single hand seal, let alone use the skill.

Two mages possessed by "Divine Spirits" stood there like puppets, not moving a

move.

Not only the mage was motionless, the archer in front was the same; he kept his head down, eyes closed, completely still.

The audience also noticed the abnormality.

"So these are all Ying ChuiXue's puppets."

"No wonder it felt off earlier; these people don't look normal at all."

"They aren't living people at all, but dead professionals turned into puppets by special means."

"Hmph, such tricks are truly despicable."

"It's literally dog meat that can't be served at the table."

"Shadow Transformation Nation is at this level; it can only resort to shady tricks."

Among the audience, a few discerning eyes saw through Ying ChuiXue's truth; she was merely using so‑called "Divine Spirits" to control these puppets.

Essentially this is also a Summoner skill, not particularly mysterious.

Jiang Chen had already reached Ying ChuiXue's side; facing her terrified gaze, he showed a hint of contempt.

A Skeleton Warrior suddenly appeared before Ying ChuiXue.

Skill: Rage Power!

A burst of red light flashed, and Ying ChuiXue vanished from the arena, reappearing directly beneath it.

She was eliminated.

To deal with a Summoner, the best method is to eliminate the Summoner himself.

Jiang Chen also knew this principle.

Then the Skeleton Warrior, without hesitation, slashed at her with a blade.

Without Ying ChuiXue's command, she was slowed again.

These puppets had no power to resist.

One after another they were eliminated.

The archer puppet, from start to finish,

had not even a chance to act.

Ying ChuiXue could only watch helplessly.

Jiang Chen's gaze held both hatred and terror.

If she had a healer with her, it wouldn't have been like this.

The purification Skill can remove the Curse.

The purification skill can lift the curse.

But who could have thought Jiang Chen would use a Curse skill?

The Necromancer Summoner's hidden side was once again uncovered.

Summoning and Curse, the two major skill trees.

People speculated whether Jiang Chen still had hidden skills.

In this match Jiang Chen again claimed victory.

The second match featured a professional team from Eagle Nation against a team from the Shenlong Empire's Zhenduan University.

Fang Hongxiu looked at the arena, reciting the information she had just obtained.

"This Eagle Nation team is not ordinary."

In the tournament, many civilian teams from various nations participated, as did official teams from several countries.

All civilian teams from Eagle Nation had been completely eliminated through successive rounds.

Only this official Eagle Nation team remained for the finals.

The five members were a Shadow Knight, a War King Support, an Eagle-eyed Archer, an Elemental Mage, and a Shadow Assassin.

【61】 All were Rare Profession members, none were Mythic Tier Profession professionals.

To claim that a great power like Eagle Nation can't produce a few Mythic Tier Professionals, even Abyss Demons wouldn't believe it.

All we can say is that they have other reasons.

Fang Hongxiu said in a deep voice, "The strength of those few professionals far exceeds that of their peers."

"Take Knights, for example. A Level 29 Shadow Knight can't possibly defeat Eagle Nation's Shadow Knight."

"Moreover, the gap isn't slight; it's the kind that's completely crushed."

Lin Caier'er seemed to recall something: "I remember that a few years ago Eagle Nation was conducting an experiment to develop a brand‑new enhancement drug."

"It is said that those who take this drug can have all their attributes multiplied several times."

"Rare-level professionals who take this drug,"

"can be comparable to Mythic Tier Professionals."

Lin Caier'er also happened to overhear her grandfather discussing this matter.

Fang Hongxiu said, "It's not only our division's arena; in other divisions' matches, there are Eagle Nation professional teams of extraordinary strength."

It seems Eagle Nation has already succeeded in researching this new drug.

Lin Caier'er whispered, "You should be careful."

Jiang Chen smiled and indicated that nothing was wrong.

He thought that even if All Attributes were multiplied several times, they still couldn't surpass his Skeleton Warrior.

With his own talent, the Skeleton Warrior's attributes have been amplified by a full 30 times.

On the arena, the Eagle Nation professional team and the Zhenduan University professional team have already clashed.

From the start of the match, Eagle Nation professionals have shown a crushing trend.

The Zhenduan University team is being firmly suppressed.

This Zhenduan University squad that made it to the finals was not self‑organized by the students, but dispatched directly by the university itself.

Each member is Level 29, wearing the finest Platinum gear, with well‑rounded Skills.

The crucial point is that the team's Team Leader is a Mythic Tier Professional: Divine Eye Archer He Yizhi.

Zhenduan University sent out a team led by a Mythic Tier Professional, originally a sure‑thing for the championship of this division.

Unexpectedly, they were suppressed right at the opening.

Eagle Nation's Knights attacked wildly; the Shadow Knights were shrouded in Black Qi.

Each attack produced a flash of blood‑red light.

While dealing damage to enemies, they also restored their own vitality and stamina, healing themselves.

If not for being relatively weak later on, the Shadow Knight could become a Mythic Tier Professional thanks to this trait.

The opponent's Eagle-eyed Archer has extremely strong attack power, each

attack is like a small Explosion.

The mage's spells were unleashed without restraint, immobilizing the Zhenduan University team.

The healer gritted their teeth and kept healing, just to barely sustain.

However, at this rate, defeat is only a matter of time.

"Give me time!"

Among the Zhenduan University team, Divine Eye Archer He Yizhi said in a deep voice.

The Knight at the front line roared without hesitation.

Skill: Group Taunt!

Skill: Limit Defense!

It drew all of Eagle Nation's firepower toward it, while raising its own defense to the extreme.

It bought He Yizhi hard‑won time.

He Yizhi's whole body was glowing, gathering momentum.

The reason Mythic Tier Professionals can be called Mythic Tier Professionals is not only because their attributes surpass those of peers, but also because their Skills are stronger.

It isn't that simple for a Divine Eye Archer to be rated a Mythic Tier Professional.

Eagle Nation's attacks are extremely powerful, and the glow of Limit Defense is gradually fading.

The mage in the Zhenduan University team kept releasing spells, but the attacks landed on the opponent's Knights, dealing only minor damage.

The opposing healer can recover with just any healing Skill.

The only hope now is He Yizhi's strongest Skill.

Jiang Chen felt something was off.

"These Eagle Nation professionals seem strong, but I feel their rationality has been affected."

"If it were me, I would definitely try to interrupt He Yizhi's charging Skill."

As soon as Jiang Chen said that, Fang Hongxiu and the others all thought it was correct.

Their eyes shone with excitement, looking almost like beasts.

They had a few more wildness and a little less rationality.

Jiang Chen thought the drug must have a problem.

Everything has two sides; a drug that can boost so enormously must also have serious drawbacks.

He Yizhi's Skill finally finished charging.

Accompanied by brilliant light, a sharp arrow with a long luminous tail shot into the sky, then exploded like fireworks!

Skill: Destruction Arrow Storm!

The next second, a massive hail of arrows burst from the fireworks.

They whistled down like a raging storm.

The range was so vast it almost covered most of the arena.

Each sharp arrow carried tremendous attack power, exploding one after another upon hitting the arena.

The booming sounds rang continuously, and the entire arena trembled.

The storm of sharp arrows lasted for a long time, wave after wave, showing no sign of stopping.

"Indeed, there's a bit of a problem."

Lin Caier let out a low exclamation.

The Eagle Nation team, amid the storm of sharp arrows, didn't dodge or evade at all, but stood their ground stubbornly.

Even their healers did the same.

They healed themselves when wounded, but didn't know how to avoid.

No professional would be so foolish, unless it was truly unavoidable.

Fang Hongxiu compared the data she had obtained: "Their previous tactics were to overpower opponents, so no one noticed this."

"It seems this potion has a serious problem."

The Arrow Storm Skill lasted a full 30 seconds, and the entire arena was riddled with craters.

He Yizhi gasped heavily; this skill had been used to its utmost, his body nearly hollowed out.

The five professionals of the Eagle Nation team were no longer visible on the arena.

They didn't survive the Arrow Storm Skill.

Jiang Chen shook his head: "Turning professionals into beasts that only know how to attack will only bring about destruction in the end."

Having dealt with Abyss Demons before, he knows professionals must advance and retreat in order.

Blindly attacking will ultimately end in failure.

If they can win, it's only because

they didn't encounter a powerful being.

Jiang Chen said, "If the Eagle Nation's professional team is like this, they would lose in other groups as well."

Sure enough, the facts turned out exactly as Jiang Chen had expected.
