Chapter 419: At This Level, One Can Actually Slay a Demon King

A thick scent of blood permeated Shenlong University, and the aftereffects of the great battle continued to spread across the campus.

Although some time had passed since the fight ended, the trainees had become fearless Warriors in that battle, engaging in fierce combat with the surging Demons.

Traitors appeared among the mentor team, betraying and becoming followers of the Demons.

The Demons' Barrier enveloped the university, even covering the Dungeon Hall.

There were also betrayers among the mentors, ambushing the trainees, sacrificing their lives, and summoning even stronger Demons from the Abyss World.

Members of the Cult of Demon Worship also rushed into the university, sacrificing themselves to summon a tremendously powerful Demon, and even a Demon King was summoned here.

However, the Demon King did not realize that this was Shenlong University, the Human Race's most elite academy, and upon arrival was besieged by three Divine-level Strongmen.

In the fierce clash, it was ultimately forced back into the Abyss World, becoming an expensive failure.

The mentors in the Dungeon Hall also perished in the great battle.

Although Shenlong University sustained some damage and the trainees suffered casualties, the overall loss was not great.

Some mentors even thought that letting the trainees experience this battle was not a bad thing.

"This generation of trainees lives too comfortably."

"Just grinding Instances to level up is far insufficient; they need to go to the battlefield and undergo the baptism of fire and blood."

"Conveniently, the Dragon Race has also returned, and they are stirring; there will be plenty of battles ahead."

"We will set up more battlefield Trial Missions so the trainees can practice properly on the battlefield."

The Academy's senior officials began to discuss; this Demon raid revealed shortcomings within the Academy.

It is not that studying well, having a high level, and being able to run Instances makes one a qualified professional

person.

The true purpose of a professional is to deal with Abyss Demons and the newly returned Dragon Race.

Jiang Chen appeared in the Dungeon Hall, and the Instance's seal was finally lifted.

Within the Dungeon Hall, battle traces still remained.

One could smell the scent of blood.

Some trainees were cleaning the battlefield; upon seeing Jiang Chen, they stopped and stared in bewilderment.

Their gaze toward Jiang Chen was somewhat strange.

If it were one or two, it wouldn't matter, but if everyone does so, something's off.

Jiang Chen asked, "Did the Demons just come?"

The trainee being questioned immediately saluted Jiang Chen, "In response to Divine General Jiang, the battle has just ended."

Jiang Chen nodded, "Don't be nervous; recount the situation just now to me."

An invisible aura of authority radiated from Jiang Chen, calming the trainee.

The trainee stammered and recounted what had just happened.

The fights occurred separately in the university and in the Dungeon Hall.

A batch of trainees were injured, a few died, but the impact was minor.

The Demons miscalculated the trainees' strength and made some blunders.

To Jiang Chen's surprise, there were several hidden Elite Professionals among the mentors.

They acted like a stabilizing needle, swiftly eliminating the Demons.

Shenlong University indeed hides dragons and tigers; it is no empty boast.

There once was an unnamed mentor at Shenlong University who, during a class one day, suddenly radiated divine light.

He stepped into the Divine Level in a single stride, and the mentor, unhurried, finished the lecture before beginning his metamorphosis.

This event is recorded in history and can be verified.

"It seems the Abyss Demons underestimated the university's strength."

"I didn't expect the university to hide three Divine-level Strongmen; truly impressive."

Jiang

Jiang Chen, after grasping the situation, left the Dungeon Hall.

After Jiang Chen departed, that trainee suddenly collapsed onto the ground.

"Divine General Jiang's aura is terrifying."

Someone cautiously approached and helped him up, "I feel that Divine General Jiang is stronger than before."

"It's not that his strength increased, but his aura has changed."

"Those people just entered the Instance; we don't know what happened inside."

"The Instance was sealed just now, and the mentors were helpless, but they all said Divine General Jiang would be fine."

The people in the Dungeon Hall discussed animatedly, yet they could not articulate the changes occurring on Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen's aura indeed changed; it was a natural result of his battle with the Demon King.

He had become tainted with the Demon King's aura, a unique yet indescribable scent.

An experienced strongman who sees Jiang Chen can recognize that Jiang Chen has slain a Demon King.

Upon arriving at the university, the campus likewise still exhaled the lingering aura of the great battle.

Jiang Chen sensed the residual power of the Demon King in the aura, as well as the power traces left by Divine-level Strongmen.

Whether Demon King or Divine-level Strongmen, they are all immensely powerful, and their traces persist for a long time.

【7】 The Demon King was defeated and fled, and Shenlong University sustained no major damage.

【8】 Only some buildings were damaged; repairing them won't be too troublesome.

【9】 Compared with the desolation of the Dungeon Hall, the university is now bustling.

【10】 A large number of trainees have gathered in the university, discussing the great battle that just occurred.

The Demon King was defeated and fled, and Shenlong University did not suffer any serious damage.

Only some buildings were damaged; repairing them won't be too much trouble.

Compared with the desolation in the Dungeon Hall, the university is now very lively.

A large number of students gathered in the university, discussing the great battle that just occurred.

The instructors maintained order and soothed the trainees.

Jiang Chen's appearance immediately drew the trainees' attention.

Most trainees knew Jiang Chen and were aware of his status.

Seeing.

When they reached him, they all cast respectful glances.

In terms of rank alone, only a few Divine‑level beings in the Academy could stand on equal footing with him.

Even if the dean arrived, his rank would still be one level below his.

This is the Human Race's rule, granting the Warrior the utmost respect.

Jiang Chen searched among the trainees for Lu Qingyu, Feng Xiu, Han Li, and Chu Yao.

But after circling around, he found none.

He sent them a message via Communicator, but received no reply.

It was as if they had vanished.

"They should be fine, right?"

A bad premonition rose in Jiang Chen, and suddenly he saw a familiar face.

Fei Zhuren of the Academic Affairs Office.

Jiang Chen walked over and greeted proactively, "Fei Zhuren."

Fei Zhuren was talking with several instructors; upon hearing Jiang Chen's voice, he stood up immediately, "Divine General Jiang, you're out!"

He knew Jiang Chen's Jade Speech was sealed in an Instance, and when the great battle broke out, he couldn't attend to it.

Fortunately, Jiang Chen was unharmed.

Suddenly his eyes narrowed and his expression changed drastically.

His eyes fixed on the Military Badge on Jiang Chen's shoulder without blinking.

He knew perfectly well the meaning of a Two‑Star Divine General.

This was a monumental event—Jiang Chen actually… actually slaughtered a Demon King.

He stammered slightly, "Divine General Jiang, you killed the Demon King?"

Jiang Chen nodded, "Killed one."

"Divine General Jiang, which Demon King did you slay?" Fei Zhuren swallowed, speaking with difficulty.

His words drew many people's attention, causing a stir.

Jiang Chen had indeed slain a Demon King.

"He's only at level 48; no matter how strong, he couldn't possibly slay a Demon King."

A Demon King isn't something molded from mud; even against a Divine‑level Strongman, a human…

…even if they try to escape, it's hard to stop them.

The previous great battle in the Academy was just like that; the three Divine‑level Strongmen there couldn't block a single Demon King, and it eventually escaped.

Unless that Demon King was truly despondent and wanted to die.

But the fact stood before them: a Two‑Star Divine General isn't fake.

Is there any sense of justice left!

Under the gaze of the crowd, Jiang Chen whispered, "Flame Demon King."

Sss!

Upon hearing the words Flame Demon King, everyone present gasped sharply.

It's not that the Flame Demon King is especially powerful—

Among the many Demon Kings of the Abyss, the Flame Demon King's strength is at the lower tier.

However, the Flame Demon King's Skill is somewhat perverse; against lower‑level practitioners, it is invariably effective.

Information about the Flame Demon King in the Academy is very complete, and all the instructors present were aware.

Fei Zhuren murmured, "I didn't expect it to be that one; its Death Cut Skill… are you alright?"

Fei Zhuren suddenly realized he had asked a very foolish question: if something were wrong, could Jiang Chen still be standing here?

Jiang Chen said, "Thank you for your concern, Fei Zhuren; I'm fine. Fei Zhuren, I'd like to inquire where my several friends are; I'm a bit worried."

Jiang Chen reported the names of Lu Qingyu and the others.

Upon hearing those names, Fei Zhuren answered without any hesitation, "Lu Qingyu and Han Li were taken away by Dean Lu Tianhong; the specifics were not explained."

Upon hearing those names, Fei Zhuren answered without any hesitation, "Lu Qingyu and Han Li were taken away by Dean Lu Tianhong; the specifics weren't disclosed."

"As for Feng Xiu, he took leave a few days ago to return to his clan, so he isn't in the Academy."

"No wonder," Jiang Chen finally felt relieved.

Since he's not in the Academy, he should be fine.

At that moment, space warped, and a massive tower floated in the air.

Shenlong Tower

【114】 has arrived.
