Chapter 389: A Whiff of Killing Aura and They Freak Out, Pissing Their Pants

The Beast God's true form has vanished…

It really is gone; what appears before everyone is the Beast God's illusory shadow.

"What's going on?"

"Did we miscalculate the time, and the Beast God hasn't respawned yet?"

"Impossible, the timing can't be wrong."

"Even if we miscalculated, would Creation and Flame Emperor also get the timing wrong?"

The timing is certainly correct, but they are even less willing to believe anyone could be faster than themselves.

"Never mind for now, kill the Beast God's illusory shadow first, then we can go out and see."

For the moment, we can only defeat the BOSS; other matters are put on hold.

At the same time, the same situation occurred inside the Instances of Creation Academy and Flame Emperor Academy.

Lin Tian Ce's expression wasn't good; he followed Yi Qianfan's suggestion and deliberately suppressed his level for this Instance, waiting for over two months.

What he got in the end was the Beast God's illusory shadow.

A sense of bewilderment shrouded them.

The mastermind Jiang Chen knew nothing about it; he was simply focused on running the Instance with Lin Caier, enjoying a relaxed and pleasant time.

Finally, the teams from the three academies successfully defeated the Beast God's illusory shadow and exited the Instance almost simultaneously.

Dozens of people surged into the Dungeon Hall.

The three academy teams stared at each other, unwilling to concede, their gazes full of contempt.

However, when they saw the record on the Light Screen…

"Jiang Chen: 9 minutes 43 seconds."

Everyone fell silent en masse, and someone exclaimed, "How is that possible?"

"Absolutely impossible; how could a normal profession achieve such a score?"

"Is the Instance buggy? Even Jiang Chen… even he couldn't have done that."

After seeing the score, Lin Tian Ce was the calmest among everyone.

In his view, if Jiang Chen produced that score, it would be perfectly normal.

He knew very well how powerful Jiang Chen's skills are.

At Level 30, he can outright grind a Level 58 World BOSS to death.

Now Jiang Chen has completed Second Transcendence, certainly stronger than before.

Even the Beast God's true form could be beaten by them; against Jiang Chen, it would likely be nothing but an instant kill.

Lin Tian Ce let out a light sigh; he hadn't expected to discover something like this.

He didn't blame Jiang Chen, nor dare to blame him.

Fortunately it was only a waste of two months, which he could bear.

He turned to his teammates and said, "Let's go back."

"Lin Tian Ce!"

A voice came, someone called out to him.

Lin Tian Ce recognized the voice—it was Team Leader Fang Chao, the leader of the Dragon Clan Academy this time.

A fellow who, like him, had suppressed his level for the "Beast God Plateau" Instance.

And this guy had suppressed his level even longer, probably not leveling up for half a year.

Lin Tian Ce turned his head, "Fang Chao, what do you want?"

His words carried arrogance; he respects Jiang Chen, but not others.

Even if the other is from the Dragon Clan Academy, it's the same.

Fang Chao said, "Lin Tian Ce, you're going back all dejected? Not planning to get to the bottom of it?"

Lin Tian Ce laughed heartily, "Isn't that clear? Divine General Jiang also ran the Instance, and did it faster than us."

Fang Chao snorted, "Do you believe such a score?"

Lin Dao said, "Fang Chao, are you not convinced? If someone else got that score, I naturally wouldn't accept it… but if Divine General Jiang got it, I believe it 100%."

Fang Chao's expression shifted slightly, "I didn't expect you're also his supporter."

Lin Tian Ce shook his head, "Is it your business?"

He ignored Fang Chao, leaving with the Creation Academy personnel.

After seeing Lin Tian Ce's performance, the Team Leader of Flame Emperor Academy rolled his eyes and then led his team away.

Only the Dragon Clan Academy members remained, their faces showing resentment.

Jiang Chen's score was so terrifying that they couldn't believe it.

The most proud group in Shenlong University was mostly concentrated in the Dragon Clan Academy.

Each of them was a top talent of the same era.

They rarely respect each other in daily life, let alone outsiders.

They've all heard Jiang Chen's legend, but haven't really believed it.

But now…

They have no way either.

"Team Leader, should we go back first and ask a teacher what exactly is happening?"

Team Leader Fang Chao thought for a moment, then realized this was the only option now.

He is conceited, but not a fool.

Knowing his own status, he can't figure this out alone; he must return to the academy and consult a teacher.

At that moment, the space around me rippled slightly.

A man and a woman appeared outside the instance.

The instant they saw the man, everyone's expression changed.

Fang Chao shouted low, "Jiang Chen!"

Jiang Chen had just left the instance when he heard someone call his name; looking up, he saw a tall man in a full set of premium Platinum gear standing before him.

"Who are you?" Jiang Chen asked, not recognizing him.

Fang Chao said, "My name is Fang Chao, from the Dragon Clan Academy. Jiang Chen, I ask you, how did you clear the instance, and why could you achieve such a score."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly; the guy's overbearing aura made him feel annoyed.

Lin Caier said brightly, "Are you sick? We cleared it, why should we tell you."

Fang Chao snorted, "I asked him, not you."

Jiang Chen replied evenly, "I really have no need to tell you, and I warn you once: mind your status, and don't speak to me like that."

Fang Chao remained proud, "I am a prodigy of the Dragon Clan Academy; sooner or later I will become a Divine General, even reach Divine Level."

Jiang Chen's gaze grew a bit colder, still in a detached tone, "Then wait until you become a Divine General before speaking to me. Now, please step aside and don't block my farming."

Fang Chao snorted, "I just want to ask you a few questions; once you answer, I'll naturally step aside."

In his eyes, Jiang Chen was only Level 42.

Becoming a Divine General is just luck.

He never took those legends seriously.

There are countless rumors that spread falsehoods in the world.

He was already Level 50, clad in premium Platinum gear.

Even if he couldn't beat Jiang Chen, the gap wouldn't be huge.

Jiang Chen's gaze grew colder, "This is the Dungeon Hall, a university; I won't move you. Move aside right now!"

Fang Chao still wouldn't move, "I said it, I ask you a few questions; once you answer, I'll step aside."

The Dungeon Hall trembled suddenly, a surge of killing intent descended from the sky and instantly enveloped Fang Chao.

The Domain Godstone spun continuously, spewing a massive wave of killing intent.

This is the killing intent Jiang Chen accumulated from slaying an entire army alone on the Ancient Battlefield, from the Otherworld Battlefield, from razing cities in the Abyss, and from battling powerful corpses in the Fusishi Jie.

Now it erupts, as tangible as matter.

Someone of Fang Chao's caliber cannot possibly withstand it.

Fang Chao's vision blurred, countless hallucinations appeared, as if innumerable blades were slashing at him from all directions.

At the same time, a swarm of corpses pounced on him, mouths open to bite.

For a moment he became a mass of bloody, unrecognizable flesh, a sight too horrible to bear.

Fang Chao let out a wretched scream and fell to the ground.

The visions vanished, and Fang Chao realized he had been hallucinating.

"Such a measly nerve," Jiang Chen said disdainfully, and with Lin Caier he leapt over Fang Chao and teleported back into the instance.

Fang Chao gulped air, his whole body drenched in cold sweat.

The previous vision was too realistic; otherwise he wouldn't have been frightened.

"How could this happen?" This situation was beyond Fang Chao's comprehension.

But he knew for sure it was Jiang Chen's doing.

Only Jiang Chen's methods were so advanced that he couldn't fathom them.

His teammates rushed over to help him up; still shaken, Fang Chao hesitated halfway and said, "Let's go back first."

This matter must be clarified back there before we can understand it.

After re-entering the instance, Lin Caier asked brightly, "What just happened? Why did that guy suddenly fall? He looks like he got scared."

Jiang Chen said, "I just used killing intent to scare him; I didn't expect his courage to be so low, easily frightened."

Lin Caier added with a hint of contempt, "With such nerve, he still dares to confront you; what an idiot."

Jiang Chen smiled, "Regardless of him, let's continue..."

Yi Qianfan's Divine Level aura grew stronger, finally reaching its peak after several hours.

Accompanied by a sound like a thunderclap, the Divine Level aura instantly collapsed, vanishing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

The next second, Yi Qianfan appeared suspended in midair.

Beside him, an additional Unicorn materialized.

The Unicorn's appearance was almost identical to Yi Qianjue's.

A Divine Level Summoner, a Divine Level Holy Spirit Unicorn.

The Yi Family is a Summoner clan, with Summoner blood flowing through them.

Yi Qianfan underwent a Profession Ascension, rising from a Mid Mythic-level Professioner, Holy Spirit Summoner, to Divine Level.

Although he just reached Divine Level, his strength is not weak.

Beyond Divine Level, one must consider not only rank but also the hierarchy of the profession.

For someone like Yi Qianfan, a Divine Level achieved by a Mid Mythic-level Professioner is far stronger than the Divine Level of an ordinary Mythic-level Professioner at the same Level 90.

Lin Zhenzi chuckled, "Congratulations."

Everyone nearby congratulated Yi Qianfan, "Congratulations, Dean Yi, on attaining Divine Level."

Yi Qianfan clasped his fists toward Lin Zhenzi and bowed, "Thank you, Elder Lin."

Lin Zhenzi waved his hand, "I have nothing more to do, I'm leaving."
