Chapter 192: Arriving at the Third Round Challenge, Everyone Shocked
Jiang Chen won, and he won very easily.
Jiang Chen won again, and this victory was effortless.
In fact, Jiang Chen hardly acted himself; he simply summoned some Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Mages to deal with the opponent.
On the arena, the opponent was chased east and west by Jiang Chen's Skeleton Warriors.
Although the opponent eventually used an astonishing Battlefield Skill, successfully controlling the Skeleton Warriors, he ultimately lost to the Skeleton Mage.
In everyone's eyes, Jiang Chen's Skeleton Troops seemed extremely powerful, far surpassing peers of the same level.
In fact, looking back now, this assessment is far insufficient.
Even those professionals five levels above Jiang Chen struggle to match his Skeleton Warriors.
Compared with the duel against Ling Zhi, Jiang Chen's victory seemed too easy.
Ling Zhi knew they had lost thoroughly again; facing Jiang Chen, they were almost powerless.
They and Jiang Chen, the gap between the two is simply too great......
Jiang Chen earned his first-round victory and received a sparkling Beginner Skill Scroll.
Without hesitation, Jiang Chen chose to continue the challenge.
The second-round opponent was a Level 37 professional, a Sword Shield Knight who stepped onto the arena.
This Level 37 Sword Shield Knight exuded a fierce aura, giving a sense of great power not to be underestimated.
He had already endured battle after battle, so his eyes showed ferocity and vigilance.
Regarding Jiang Chen's fourteen Skeleton Warriors, he clearly did not take them seriously.
His eyes stayed fixed on Jiang Chen, showing a nonchalant demeanor.
The best strategy against a Summoner is to directly deal with the Summoner himself.
As long as the Summoner is eliminated,
those Summoned Entities will naturally disappear.
This is the tactic he would inevitably choose.
When the battle began, he let out a roar, swiftly activated a Skill, and rushed toward Jiang Chen.
Skill: Charge!
As a melee professional, he must first close in on the opponent.
Jiang Chen's Skeleton Warriors immediately stepped forward to meet the enemy.
The Sword Shield Knight slammed into the Skeleton Warriors with a violent charge, producing two booming "bang" sounds, sending the two Skeleton Warriors flying several steps, while he himself was jolted back a step.
"What a powerful force!"
The Knight was startled in his heart.
The Charge skill can greatly increase impact, yet it only knocked the Skeleton Warriors back a few steps.
He himself was shaken even farther.
Obviously, the Skeleton Warriors' attributes completely outmatched his.
"Can't brute-force!"
The Knight already understood in his heart that he must never brute-force against Skeleton Warriors.
He still must follow the original plan and eliminate Jiang Chen.
But the Skeleton Warriors and Skeleton Mage firmly protected Jiang Chen.
Getting close is not easy!
A brilliant light surged ahead, and the Skeleton Mage's attack arrived.
He raised his Shield and swiftly parried and dodged.
He kept retreating farther,
the Skeleton Warriors chased after him, gradually distancing themselves from Jiang Chen.
After pulling the Skeleton Warriors away, the Knight suddenly turned and activated the Charge skill again.
He surged toward Jiang Chen like lightning.
He held his Shield aloft, bracing against the Skeleton Mage's attack.
He leapt high, preparing to vault over the Skeleton Mage and strike Jiang Chen directly.
"Useless!"
Jiang Chen understood his intention and shook his head slightly.
The Shield was raised in front, blocking the Skeleton Mages' attacks.
Through a gap, he saw the smile lifting at Jiang Chen's mouth corner.
A sense of danger instantly rose to the back of his head, and a chill swept his whole body.
In the midst.
Skeleton Warriors in the distance suddenly vanished, and then ten Skeleton Warriors reappeared beside Jiang Chen.
"So he can remotely recall Skeleton Warriors!"
He shivered inside, realizing he had been tricked.
He must break out and look for a solution.
But Jiang Chen will not give him another chance.
Red light flickered, and the Knight felt the entire world speed up.
The Skeleton Warriors' blades became faster than lightning, while his own movements became extremely sluggish.
It's a curse!
He realized he had been cursed.
It may already be too late.
Before he even touched the ground, the Skeleton Warrior's blade had already struck his body.
One slash, two slashes, three slashes...
In an instant, nearly ten blows landed on him.
Then the Skeleton Mages' attacks also arrived.
He tried to use Limit Defense, but as soon as the thought arose, his body was already outside the arena.
Healing Technique activated, his body recovered, the Curse was lifted.
He lost!
He lost decisively, defeated in the blink of an eye.
He gave Jiang Chen a Military Salute.
Jiang Chen returned the salute.
Not only because Jiang Chen is a Three-Star Second Lieutenant, but also because of his greatness.
A Level 27 fighting a Level 37 is like playing a game.
I have to admit, he's truly strong.
He easily won the Second Round Challenge Competition.
He obtained a sparkling Intermediate Skill Scroll.
Jiang Chen chose to continue the challenge.
If he can win the third round, he will receive an Intermediate Mysterious Potion.
Compared with the sparkling Intermediate Skill Scroll, the Intermediate Mysterious Potion is more valuable.
All Attributes +2000 is a huge boost for any professional.
A single level‑up adds only a little, but one potion adds All Attributes +2000, total 8000!
The improvement is indeed obvious.
And if Jiang Chen can win the third round
successfully, he will tie the record.
A Level 27 Low-Level Professional challenging a Level 42 High-tier Profession is unimaginable.
A Level 42 archer appeared on the arena.
Dressed in a Platinum-tier Battlefield Suit, his aura was immensely powerful.
There is a clear gap between High-level Professionals and Low-Level Professionals.
After Second Transcendence, attributes increase dramatically, all skills become stronger, and he can wield powerful high‑level skills.
Moreover, from Level 40 onward, one can use Platinum Equipment.
The Platinum Battlefield Suit is stronger than ordinary Platinum Equipment.
Level 40+ High-level Professionals can crush Low-Level Professionals.
In everyone's eyes, Jiang Chen's attempt to win this round is not easy.
"You all say, if the third round is successful, will Jiang Chen continue to the Fourth Round?"
"Hard to say; the reason no one has succeeded in the Fourth Round isn't that simple."
"What makes it not simple?"
"I only heard that the Fourth Round challenge is unusual, unlike the first three, otherwise it wouldn't have remained unsolved for so many years."
Those present know what the Fourth Round challenge is like, only that it is extremely difficult.
Jiang Chen also doesn't know, but he believes he'll see it soon.
He is also curious why no one has ever succeeded in the Fourth Round.
Exactly where is the Fourth Round difficult?
The Level 42 archer, from the military, also holds the rank of Second Lieutenant.
Like Jiang Chen, he is a Three-Star Second Lieutenant.
The archer remains silent, his gaze sharp as lightning, as if already locked onto Jiang Chen.
The battle begins; in an instant, several shafts of arrow light streak toward the sky!
Skill: Tracking Arrow!
The arrow light curves in the air, heading toward Jiang Chen
and drops straight down.
As the arrow descends, the Skeleton Mage's spell also reaches the archer's front.
The archer quickly retreats; during the retreat, his body splits into three, dodging in different directions.
Skill: Bow Step Clone!
The Skeleton Mage instantly loses its target.
Jiang Chen felt a surge, allowing the Skeleton Mage to attack freely.
At this moment, the Tracking Arrow falls.
Bang bang bang, several shots hit Jiang Chen.
Each strike lands like a Giant Stone, emitting a deafening sound.
It feels as if it crushes people's hearts, oppressive and painful.
Jiang Chen is finished!
Most people think so.
A Level 27 character, no matter how strong the skills, facing a Level 42 High-tier Profession's attack head‑on will inevitably be instantly killed.
Jiang Chen's Bone Armor shimmered, blocking the attack.
"Is this? A defense Skill..."
"A defense Skill similar to a mage's Magic Shield."
"If you want attack, you have attack; if you want defense, you have defense. This class is invincible!"
"This armor is so cool!"
Everyone burst into amazement!
The archer visibly froze for a moment, not expecting Jiang Chen to also have a defense Skill, and that it was so strong.
Such a situation has never been encountered before.
