Chapter 182: You Talk Too Much, Just Die Already

Everything was within the squad's expectations; it could be said there was no suspense.

Jiang Chen won again, and this outcome had long been anticipated by most of the audience.

When he summoned 20 Skeletons at once, no one was surprised.

Some people even predicted: "I told you Jiang Chen would have 10 Skeleton Warriors and 10 Skeleton Mages. See, I was right, right? One Skeleton already makes a team; how can others compete?"

Those whose predictions proved accurate became very smug, as if they themselves had achieved a great victory.

So far, Jiang Chen has demonstrated three Skills: Summoning Skeleton Warrior, Skeleton Mage, and Slow Curse.

Many people are curious whether Jiang Chen will showcase any other Skills.

Next, the Shenlong University team led by Ling Zhi stepped onto the arena to face the Zhenduan University team.

This match will witness a showdown between two Mythic Tier Professionals, the Holy Light Mage and the Divine Eye Archer.

Ling Zhi's gaze was full of arrogance: "My Holy Light Mage ranks within the top five of Mythic-level Main Combat Professions, while your Divine Eye Archer can't even make the top ten. What right do you have to contend with me?"

He Yizhi's expression grew serious; he understood that Ling Zhi's words were true.

Although they are both Mythic-level Main Combat Professionals, the gap in strength cannot be ignored.

He Yizhi replied coldly: "True strength and weakness must be proven in a match."

"Hmph, this doesn't need a match, does it? Because we are both Mythic Tier Professionals, I'm willing to say a few more words; if it were anyone else, I'd disdain any interaction."

Ling Zhi's arrogance is backed by substance.

He has been defeating opponents ever since the match began

, needing only to use the same Skill.

In his view, only conversing with other Mythic Tier Professionals is meaningful.

As the countdown sound of the match rang out, the battle began.

Ling Zhi lightly raised his hand, and in an instant a dazzling light shone.

He used the same Skill again, and no one could resist.

Even the eliminated teams didn't understand how they had lost.

Within the light, Zhenduan University members appeared one after another outside the arena.

Finally, even He Yizhi appeared outside the arena.

The entire match lasted less than 10 seconds, and even He Yizhi, a Mythic Tier Professional, lost so decisively that he didn't understand how he had been defeated.

From his lofty position, Ling Zhi looked at everyone: "I told you, there is a huge gap between us."

He turned to Jiang Chen: "Your turn now. I don't need a break; do you need one? Resolve you quickly; I still have to go back and rest. If it weren't for that flashing Skill Scroll, I would never have joined this boring match."

Ling Zhi completely disregarded Jiang Chen.

One could say he never even considered other Professionals.

Even the four teammates behind him were merely sent by the university to make up numbers.

They weren't needed to act at all; they just watched the whole thing.

A referee flew up over the arena and said to Jiang Chen: "Ling Zhi issued a challenge; Jiang Chen, do you want to fight now or after a rest?"

Jiang Chen, with no fatigue at all, replied: "Then let's fight now."

Finish the match early, finish work early.

It's fine if you don't understand Ling Zhi's Skill.

Bone Armor isn't a decoration; whatever your Skill is, you can't speak of it until you break the Bone Armor.

Bone Armor can even block the Flame Demon King's death ray

, let alone a Level 29 Profession's Skill.

Even a Mythic Tier Professional has its limits.

Jiang Chen walked onto the arena.

Ling Zhi said a few words to the several teammates behind him.

A few of them quickly jumped down from the arena.

"I know, you also come from Shenlong University, and I've heard of your deeds at Shenlong University."

"Bringing people through an Instance to earn points—such a shameful thing you can actually do."

"Ordinary trainees are just ordinary trainees; truly speechless."

Ling Zhi's eyes showed a disdain for the profession's attribute as he spoke.

Jiang Chen's complexion also grew increasingly grim.

You may be arrogant, but it's none of my business.

But you think you can teach me…

Who do you think you are?

"Is something wrong with your brain?" Jiang Chen suddenly said.

Ling Zhi was startled: "What did you say?"

Jiang Chen said: "If your brain is ill, go see a therapist quickly, and stop barking like a dog here."

Ling Zhi's face flushed with anger.

Fang Hongxiu looked puzzled: "Cai Er, why does that sound familiar?"

Lin Cai'er giggled, a bit embarrassed: "I learned it from my school."

Fang Hongxiu couldn't help a twitch at the corner of her mouth, looking like she wanted to laugh but couldn't.

Ling Zhi said coldly: "You dare insult me, you actually dare insult me!"

"Idiot!" Jiang Chen snorted coldly, too lazy to bother with him.

Some people are too self-righteous, too arrogant.

He really thought he was the boss's second‑in‑command, but in fact it counts for nothing at all.

Ling Zhi's voice grew colder: "Arguments are meaningless; only fists are the hard truth."

Jiang Chen was too lazy to bother him.

Perhaps the Mythic-level Profession made him lose himself; there's no way to reason with such a person, the only solution is to stomp him hard beneath his feet.

The battle begins.

Five Skeleton Warriors appeared in front of Jiang Chen.

Ling Zhi ignored the Skeleton Warrior: "Undead revenants, receive the Holy Light's punishment!"

The arena lit up again, turning into a pure White Light Orb, obscuring everything.

Within the Light Orb, Jiang Chen's Bone Armor flickered, clearly under attack.

The attack came from light—light from all directions, unavoidable light.

The light attack penetrated everywhere; even the best Knight could not block it all.

Within the radiance was a special aura, and Jiang Chen felt a sense of familiarity.

After sensing it, he finally understood: "So it's a Psychic Attack!"

That aura was about eighty‑to‑ninety percent similar to his Soul Burn aura.

It turned out Ling Zhi's attack was a Psychic Attack.

And it differed from his own Soul Burn.

It wasn't as intense, but it dealt massive damage directly.

It was like a frog being boiled in warm water; the opponent is eliminated by the attack, dying without noticing.

Silently, even the opponent didn't know how they were eliminated.

Unfortunately, the Psychic Attack still fell within the Bone Armor's defensive range.

Ling Zhi, with his arrogance, kept the light with one hand while raising the other high.

In his sight, Jiang Chen seemed to be spacing out, showing no movement.

"Die."

Skill: Blade of Light.

A massive Blade made of light swung down ferociously at Jiang Chen.

The Blade also contained light's power, moving at incredible speed.

It landed on Jiang Chen almost instantly.

The Holy Light Mage can become a Mythic-level Profession, and is a particularly powerful presence among Mythic-level Professions.

It is because he can perform Psychic Attacks and control the power of light.

Bone Armor is incredibly sturdy,

and the Blade landing on it cannot move it at all.

Ling Zhi frowned slightly; the Bone Armor's sturdiness exceeded his expectations.

His Blade of Light has always been unstoppable.

Just now, He Yizhi, also a Mythic-level Profession, was defeated by the Blade of Light's attack.

He didn't expect Jiang Chen could block it.

Crack, crack.

The world of light was silent, and the Skeleton's footsteps were especially audible.

Five Skeleton Warriors ran over in the holy White Light.

In the blink of an eye they reached Ling Zhi, and he raised his hand to strike with the Blade.

Holy Light is only a Psychic Attack, having no effect on Skeletons.

Ling Zhi, with disgust, shouted: "Holy Light Impact!"

A denser Light appeared before him.

Carrying a strong holy aura, it exploded with a bang.

The five Skeleton Warriors were instantly blown apart.

Jiang Chen could feel that the Skeleton Warriors suffered little damage.

The power of Holy Light and the Skeletons' undead power counter each other.

Which one dominates depends on the relative strength of their attributes.

The Skeleton Warriors' attributes far exceed Ling Zhi's; his Skill cannot inflict much damage on them.

It was only the skill's forced knockback effect, akin to a Control Skill, that blasted the Skeleton Warriors away.

Ling Zhi still bore his arrogance; in his eyes, Holy Light can suppress darkness.

Undead monsters should be purified and eliminated by Holy Light.

But the next second, the Skeleton Warrior, after falling, quickly got up, every bone intact, unharmed.

"Impossible!"

Ling Zhi didn't believe it, and when he tried to attack again,

With a boom, two Lightning bolts struck from above.

Ling Zhi shivered all over; his Skill was instantly interrupted.

The White Light that shrouded the arena disappeared,

and people could see clearly what had happened on the arena.

Black Smoke rose from Ling Zhi's body, and his hair stood on end.

"Eh, not eliminated yet!" Jiang Chen was also slightly surprised.

Mythic-level Profession truly lives up to being a Mythic-level Profession; its attributes are indeed stronger than those of ordinary ones.

Even with the frail physique of a mage class, it managed to withstand two Skeleton Mage attacks without being eliminated.

Ling Zhi looked disheveled at this moment, trembling all over.

The attack of an Electric-type Spell is not pleasant.

Ling Zhi gritted their teeth, used the skill again, and a Pure White Magic Shield appeared on their body.

Skill: Holy Light Shield.

This was still their first time using a defensive skill.

"I admit I underestimated..."

Before they could finish speaking, the Skeleton Warrior had already rushed to their front, and the Blade skill burst.

The power of the Undead type and the power of Holy Light counter each other.

When the Skeleton Warrior unleashed its skill, it easily tore apart the Holy Light Shield.

The Blade came close, a hair's breadth away, and a pure white Aura exploded in Ling Zhi's hand.

The Skeleton Warrior was again blasted away.

Skill: Holy Light Ring.

It also has a blast-away effect, similar to the Resist Fire Ring effect of the mage profession.

"I admit I underestimated..."

Boom! Boom!

Again, two bolts of Lightning struck them.

Ling Zhi still couldn't finish their words.

Attacked again by a Skeleton Mage, Ling Zhi this time didn't hold on and already appeared outside the arena.

Until being eliminated, the arrogance in Ling Zhi's expression never faded.

But now there is also disbelief.

Ling Zhi absolutely doesn't believe they will be eliminated.

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, recalling a line he had once heard.

Villains die from talking too much.

This fool talks so much; they should just go die first.
