Chapter 304: One Strike Instantly Kills the Demon, Trainees Gasp in Awe

Jiang Chen stepped into the right-side testing hall, instantly drawing the trainees' attention.

Some who had seen Jiang Chen in the Dungeon Hall shouted in surprise.

"It's Jiang Chen!"

"Why is he here? Could he also be joining our Creation Academy?"

"I heard he's formidable, solo‑clearing the Fire God Hall instance and setting a New Record."

"Heh, because of him, our Creation Academy is mocked—one person is better than a whole team."

Jiang Chen's reputation here is considerable, mainly due to his outstanding performance in the Dungeon Hall.

The Otherworld Battlefield results haven't reached here yet, so the trainees are unaware of Jiang Chen's latest achievements.

The Creation Academy sits on an isolated island, with infrequent contact with the outside, so their grasp of external information is incomplete.

Ling Zhi also noticed Jiang Chen's arrival, frowned, and said, "Why is he also here."

"Silence!" A teacher in the testing hall lightly barked, and everyone fell quiet at once.

Yi Qianfan escorted Jiang Chen to the mentor, "Teacher Zhou, Jiang Chen also wishes to join our academy; I'll have him take part in our assessment."

As he spoke, Yi Qianfan had already transmitted Jiang Chen's basic information to the teacher.

Since Yi Qianfan personally brought him, Teacher Zhou dared not delay.

After confirming the information, Teacher Zhou said to Jiang Chen, "Alright, Jiang Chen, line up at the back first; we'll conduct the assessments in order."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Thank you, Teacher Zhou."

Neither servile nor arrogant, very courteous.

Teacher Zhou felt Jiang Chen possessed an unusual aura, unlike the other trainees.

Not only he sensed it; others could feel it as well.

Jiang

Chen's aura was composed and unruffled, distinct from the crowd.

Jiang Chen walked aside and waited quietly.

In the Creation Academy, everyone is a top‑tier genius; people like Ling Zhi, who are proud, are plentiful.

Jiang Chen remained silent, and they would not initiate conversation with him.

Jiang Chen's arrival also caught the attention of the testing hall on the other side.

There, all are High-level Professionals, with stronger abilities.

Originally a freshman, not worth their notice.

Mainly because Jiang Chen was brought by Yi Qianfan, they gave him an extra glance.

"He looks a bit arrogant."

"Which newcomer isn't arrogant? It'll settle after a while."

"Exactly, just like that Ling Zhi earlier—when he arrived his head was in the clouds, but now, looking again, it's no different."

"Mythological Class professions... are abundant here. Even with the same profession and level, strength can differ by heavens. Relying on a higher profession won't work here."

"Didn't you notice? He's already Level 37 joining the academy, yet he's not that impressive."

Lin Tian Ce, just back from the Ancient Battlefield, saw Jiang Chen and also heard the classmates' remarks.

A hint of embarrassment crossed his face; Jiang Chen was completely different from what they said.

He had personally witnessed Jiang Chen's power; it couldn't be as simple as they claimed.

A few who had seen Jiang Chen with Lin Tian Ce on the Ancient Battlefield found it amusing.

Underestimate Jiang Chen, and be ready to be slapped in the face.

The assessment proceeded swiftly.

One per minute, with no pause at all.

Those outside could see the situation inside the formation and watch how their own classmates responded.

The Quiz difficulty wasn't high; every academy, without exception, passed completely.

Jiang

Chen discovered that among these people, Ling Zhi's performance was merely average.

Lacking combat experience, he suffered a heavy loss.

Soon it was Jiang Chen's turn, and Teacher Zhou called his name.

"Jiang Chen, this is the entrance assessment; you might feel a bit uneasy."

"Don't worry too much about the outcome; just do your best."

"In the formation you may get a little hurt, but you won't truly die, so there's no need to fear."

He kindly reminded Jiang Chen with a few words.

Level 37 Jiang Chen would face a Level 47 opponent.

After Level 40, the gap between each level widens increasingly.

Relatively, someone like Ling Zhi at Level 31 facing a Level 41 opponent finds it the easiest.

Jiang Chen politely said, "Thank you for your concern, Teacher Zhou; I will be careful."

Saying that, Jiang Chen stepped into the formation.

The formation activated, and a Demon materialized swiftly before Jiang Chen.

Abyssal Blade Demon, eight arms with eight blades.

Someone outside shouted, "He's so unlucky, encountering the toughest Abyss Demon."

"Moreover, the Blade Demon, even among Abyss Demons, is rather hard to deal with."

"Indeed, its eight blades are like Platinum Tier Weapons, with immense attack power. They can strike up close and also at range."

"Let's see how Jiang Chen handles it."

They all know Jiang Chen solo‑ran the Fire God Palace, yet they still find it hard to believe Jiang Chen has such strong combat power.

Everyone is too arrogant; without seeing it themselves, they simply don't believe.

Jiang Chen sees the Abyssal Blade Demon appear before him, presses his palm lightly, and Bone Armor manifests on his body.

The Level 37 Bone Armor provides defense equivalent to 148,000 stamina.

From now on, even if he stands still and lets the Abyssal Blade Demon strike

for a whole minute, it might still not break his Bone Armor.

With a soft sound, the assessment instantly begins.

Jiang Chen points with his right finger, Red Light fills the sky, Skill: Damage Curse!

Flames leap from his left hand, Skill: Soul Burn!

The Abyssal Blade Demon, bearing the curse, flies up and lunges straight at Jiang Chen.

His expression remains unchanged, unaffected by the Soul Burn; the Soul Burn attack is ineffective.

Jiang Chen's body twitches slightly, then he understands.

This Abyssal Blade Demon is merely a formation simulation, not a real Demon.

Without a soul, it naturally cannot be hit by Soul Burn.

Since Soul Attack is ineffective, let's try another.

Anyway, this assessment is like children playing house for him; there is no Difficulty at all.

The Abyssal Blade Demon rushes to Jiang Chen's front, eight great blades swing down simultaneously.

Clang clang, the great blades are blocked by the Bone Armor.

The Abyssal Blade Demon begins a storm‑like assault, the eight great blades crazily strike the Bone Armor.

The impact sounds are dense like Rain.

The Bone Armor glows faintly, standing unshaken.

Jiang Chen leisurely lifts his hand, pointing at the Abyssal Blade Demon's head.

White Light bursts out.

Skill: Bone Fang!

Level 37, 1,480 Bone Fangs concentrate at a single point and erupt.

Under Damage Curse, damage is amplified elevenfold.

With a bang, the Abyssal Blade Demon's head shatters.

The Bone Fangs blast the Abyssal Blade Demon's head; countless specks of light rush toward the sky and strike the formation.

Jiang Chen didn't just fire one wave of Bone Fangs; he unleashed three full waves.

The Abyssal Blade Demon endures three waves of Bone Fangs within a second, plus Damage Curse; it's a miracle if it survives.

The Abyssal Blade Demon, which had been slashing wildly, suddenly stops, silent and soundless

collapsing onto the ground.

Jiang Chen steps out of the formation, looks at the stunned Teacher Zhou and says, "Teacher Zhou, I suppose this counts as completing the assessment."

Teacher Zhou nods blankly, "Done, completed."

That's an instant kill of the Abyssal Blade Demon.

Really, just one strike!

From start to finish, only two seconds.

Jiang Chen gives Teacher Zhou only one word: Strong!

In others' eyes, Jiang Chen's strength is already a bit perverse.

Others can only last over ten seconds.

After all, opponents are more than ten levels above, making a counter‑kill impossible.

Only Jiang Chen can instantly kill.

Everyone, one by one, is left speechless, unable to speak.

Ling Zhi's pupils contract to a point, "He's become stronger; the gap between him and me widens more and more."

His fists clench, feeling some resentment yet also helplessness.

The two are now on completely different planes; they cannot be compared at all.

Ling Zhi feels that he'll never catch up to Jiang Chen in his whole life.

On the other side of the testing ground, the senior trainees each show shocked expressions.

They cannot imagine how Jiang Chen managed it.

That's a Level 47 opponent; even if they fought, it's not a matter of instant killing.

Yi Qianfan had long guessed Jiang Chen would pass the assessment, but didn't expect he would do so with such a dominant instant kill.

It's unbelievably astonishing.

Hong Jishi gives Jiang Chen a thumbs‑up, "Well done."

Yi Qianfan says to Jiang Chen, "Congratulations, Jiang Chen, on passing the assessment. From now on, you are a member of our Creation Academy."

Jiang Chen respectfully says to Yi Qianfan, "Thank you, Dean."

Yi Qianfan feels honored; after all, a Divine General is bowing to him—how could he not be pleased

not pleased.

"In a moment, Teacher Zhou will guide you around the academy; I'll go ahead now."

Yi Qianfan says a word to Jiang Chen, then turns and leaves.

His attitude seemed somewhat strange to Teacher Zhou.

When Yi Qianfan talked with Jiang Chen, it seemed like an equal conversation.

It was nothing like Yi Qianfan's demeanor with the other trainees.

Even toward himself, he had never been so courteous.

This forced him to place even greater importance on Jiang Chen.
