Chapter 193: The Impossible Fourth‑Round Challenge, No One Can Win

The Archer and the Assassin are the two most agile professions.

At this moment, they split into three clones, swiftly crossing the arena.

Each moves at astonishing speed, almost blurring into a phantom, hard to discern real from fake.

The Skeleton Warrior follows closely, desperately chasing.

The Archer's agility makes the Skeleton Warrior unable to catch up for a moment.

The Skeleton Mage's spells are mostly deftly evaded by them; only Lightning Element spells can inflict slight damage.

However, the level gap is huge; the Archer's faintly glowing Platinum equipment deflected most of the damage.

Moreover, Jiang Chen notices that each time an attack hits them, their bodies undergo a strange distortion, reducing most of the damage.

This makes the Mage's damage negligible.

The Archer continues to launch attacks at Jiang Chen while running.

Jiang Chen's agility is far inferior to theirs; realizing he cannot dodge, he simply stands still.

He relies on Bone Armor, enduring the opponent's attacks with resilience.

Buzz!

A Red Light bathed the arena.

Skill: Slow Curse!

The Archer and his clones' speed suddenly slowed.

The Skeleton Mage seizes the chance to launch an attack.

Two clones simultaneously shatter into fragments.

The Archer's body twists oddly, resiliently withstanding a round of attacks.

Meanwhile, he raises his bow, the arrowhead shimmering, and shoots a pillar of light skyward.

The Slow Curse spell is broken!

Skill: Purify!

Jiang Chen is momentarily stunned; isn't that a Healer's skill?

The Archer's skill originates from the Platinum Grade Weapon in his hand.

Many Platinum Tier equipment come with various skills, most centered on weapons.

These skills are all sorts of wondrous and diverse.

Unexpectedly, on the Archer's weapon

the attached skill turns out to be Purify.

The attached Purify skill naturally cannot compare to a Healer's own Purify.

Some powerful curses cannot be dispelled.

However, it is more than enough to lift a Slow Curse.

Jiang Chen uses Slow Curse again; the Purify effect persists, and the Slow Curse has no effect.

The Archer weaves among the Skeletons, not fighting them; his only target is Jiang Chen.

Skill: Explosion Arrow!

Skill: Impact Arrow!

Skill: Silence Arrow!

Repeatedly unleashing skills, he continuously attacks Jiang Chen.

Bone Armor blocks all attacks; whether stun or silence, none affect Jiang Chen.

Someone spots a clue, noting the Bone Armor is terrifyingly strong.

Having endured so many attacks consecutively, it remains intact.

This is an attack from a Level 42 High-tier Profession; if it were from a Level 27 professional, it would have been a one‑arrow kill.

"What a strong defensive skill!"

"Who can tell me where this profession's weakness lies?"

"At present, there seems to be no weakness, almost perfect!"

"But now it looks like both sides are stalemated; neither can overcome the other."

"Indeed, I wonder how Jiang Chen will break the deadlock!"

The Archer says nothing, continuously attacking Jiang Chen while evading attacks.

He believes he can always break Jiang Chen's turtle shell.

"What if we release more Skeletons? Or..."

Jiang Chen ponders for half a second and decides.

Target locked on the Archer, flames flickering in his hand.

Skill: Soul Burn!

The running Archer suddenly lets out a deafening scream.

His whole body wavers, stumbling two steps before collapsing to the ground.

The Skeleton Warrior chased after, and the Skeleton Mage's attacks also came in rapid succession

arriving.

He struggles wildly and leaps up.

This time he activates the Clone skill, splitting into three to shift the target.

His gaze toward Jiang Chen changes, becoming terrified.

Jiang Chen sighs; this is exactly what he feared.

After all, this skill… is too painful.

It's really painful; apart from Ning Wuxia, he hasn't seen anyone who can endure it.

The outside boiled!

"What happened?"

"I don't know."

"I saw Jiang Chen seem to use a skill!"

"I saw it too—a single‑target attack skill, and it's a lock‑on type…"

The ice mountain lifted another corner.

Accidents always come suddenly.

Jiang Chen let out a light sigh; since it's already used, he won't hold it back.

He slowly raised his palm, and flame burned in his palm.

Bang!

Bang!

Two consecutive bangs, and the two clones exploded front and back.

Bad luck, didn't pick the main target!

Jiang Chen again aimed at the bowman's true form, and he was instantly enveloped by a chilling sensation.

A sense of fear arose instantly.

Flame flashed!

A scream pierced the heavens.

He fell to the ground again, curling up.

Skeleton Warrior charged forward, unleashing a skill.

And added the Skeleton Mage's attack…

After one round, he had already vanished from the arena.

Below the arena, a healer treated him.

His wounds healed quickly, but the painful memory wouldn't disappear.

When he looked at Jiang Chen, his eyes held an inescapable fear.

That gaze made one's heart grow cold.

Not only him, his scream also infected the spectators watching the match.

One by one, they felt a chill in their hearts, and with the surrounding skeletons, Jiang Chen appeared even more terrifying.

Third Round challenge succeeded; Intermediate Mysterious Potion obtained.

He has now tied the Challenge Competition's record

record.

Jiang Chen chose to continue the challenge without hesitation.

Fourth Round, since the Professional Competition began, no one has succeeded in the challenge.

Even the challenge rules have been forgotten.

Under everyone's anticipation, a Knight appeared on the arena.

Wearing the military Battlefield Suit.

Sword Shield Knight, Level 45.

Only three levels higher than the previous round.

That's it?

Is the Fourth Round this difficulty?

How could no one pass this!

It must be fake!

Amid everyone's doubts, the second‑place professional appeared on the arena.

Level 45 War King Support.

Then Level 45 Bowman, Level 45 Mage, Level 45 Assassin.

Three professionals appeared in succession.

Forming a standard Five-person Team.

Only then did people realize that no one could succeed in the Fourth Round.

Not only must one person face a whole team, but each professional's level exceeds the challenger by a full 18 levels.

How can one fight this?

Even immortals would be unable to win, right?

No one thinks Jiang Chen can win.

Even if his profession is strong, after all he's only Level 27, and only one person.

Needs buffs but has none, needs healing but none.

No matter how strong, he cannot match a high‑level professional team of up to Level 45.

"Kid, you're quite good."

"Reaching the Fourth Round, you can be proud!"

The leading Knight in the team gave Jiang Chen affirmation.

Although only three levels higher than the previous Bowman, the aura was completely different.

This Knight gives Jiang Chen a sense of leadership.

Looking at the Military Badge on his shoulder, a silvery badge, nine stars glittering.

Nine-Star Second Lieutenant, only one step away from Colonel.

He is a true Warrior who has been fighting on the battlefield for many years.

Such a person is extremely powerful.

Behind him, these teammates, each

is not weak either.

Even the lowest are Five-Star Second Lieutenant.

They also cast admiring glances at Jiang Chen.

Not for any other reason, only for Jiang Chen's Three-Star Second Lieutenant rank.

All who kill Demons are their comrades.

"Thank you!"

Jiang Chen rarely speaks; since entering the arena, he has hardly said a word.

"However, I still intend to win today!"

When the competition starts, War King Support begins adding status.

Jiang Chen slowly lifts his hand, and in an instant, a whistling dark wind sweeps the whole field!
