Chapter 63: You're Really Amazing! You're the Strongest Man!

The instant the Flame Demon King was frozen in ice, the pink-white figure had already arrived at its side.

The Three-Tailed Spirit Fox, buffed with the critical strike aura, appeared above the Flame Demon King's head, released the skill "Triple Clone," and in the blink of an eye split into three of itself, then immediately all together released the skill "Spirit Hundred Claws," unleashing a hundred attacks in an instant.

Channeling twenty thousand points of mana to release this skill could instantly produce a hundred attacks, each dealing ten thousand points of physical damage, with half of the attacks triggering the aura's critical strike effect, tripling the damage—in other words, the total damage output reached two million points.

Adding the attacks of the three clones, each dealing a million damage, the combined total was five million damage.

Before, due to the Flame Demon King's excessively high defense, a mere ten thousand points of damage couldn't even break its defense, but now that this creature had lost both arms and wings, its defense was drastically reduced. Of the five million damage, only five hundred thousand points were blocked by defense, and the remaining four million five hundred thousand points of HP reduction directly brought its HP to zero! 【Ding! Your summoned beast "Tushan Jiaojiao" killed Flame Demon King LV. 350 ×1. Your summoned beast "Tushan Jiaojiao" gained 120,000,000 experience points. You gained 30,000,000 experience points.】

【Ding! You obtained item "Flame Demon Heart" ×1.】

【Ding! You obtained Exclusive Purple Radiance Chest ×1.】

Seeing the Three-Tailed Spirit Fox standing proudly atop the Flame Demon King's corpse, Tantai Mingyue, watching from the exam area, couldn't help but jump up in excitement, grabbing Mu Yunlan beside her and shouting joyfully: "We won! That's wonderful! Jiaojiao is amazing. When they come out, I'm definitely treating Jiaojiao to a big meal!"

Lu Zheng had eaten together with the little fox in her transformed form, along with Tantai Mingyue and Yang Dong, so Tantai Mingyue was well aware of the little fox's reputation as a foodie.

Seeing that it was the adorable Tushan Jiaojiao who delivered the final blow brought Tantai Mingyue even greater joy than if Lu Zheng had personally slain it—after all, she regarded the little fox as a good friend, a little sister.

Mu Yunlan, meanwhile, was somewhat at a loss from being hugged by her.

All the examinees were swept up in immense joy, and everyone cheered together.

A single examinee had actually slain a Saint-level monster of Overlord-grade quality—this was absolutely something to go down in history. As examinees of the same cohort as Lu Zheng, they all felt a sense of shared glory.

Moreover, even looking at this matter purely from an ordinary person's perspective.

A human professional slaying a powerful Saint-level monster was absolutely something worth celebrating, let alone under such intense public scrutiny.

Originally, the moment they saw the divine pet die, nearly everyone's mood had sunk to rock bottom.

But after the Nine-Headed Undying Bird was reborn from the flames, everyone's passion was ignited. Everyone was anticipating the human race's final victory, and Lu Zheng did not disappoint, employing what could only be called immensely grand methods to achieve a thoroughly satisfying victory.

First flooding everything with water, then freezing a thousand miles, and finally letting the little fox unleash a full combo to instantly kill the Flame Demon King—this displayed an overwhelming power that greatly boosted people's confidence, and it had an enormously inspiring effect on the entire human race's fight against the monsters of the Demon Realm and the Abyss.

The joy within the crowd's cheers—Lu Zheng did not feel it.

He saw that Hua Jing was still persisting with her livestream, so he hurriedly opened the chest, stuffed the contents away without even looking at what they were, and then headed toward the exit of the dungeon.

Don't flaunt your wealth!

He was very unaccustomed to opening chests on livestream; treasures were best kept hidden.

After leaving the Demon Domain dungeon, he saw that Yang Dong, Wang Jun, and the others had somehow made their way here.

Wang Jun rushed straight up to hug Lu Zheng's thigh, and Yang Dong, seeing his position as Lu Zheng's number-one lackey about to be stolen, hurriedly charged forward too.

Lu Zheng, quick-eyed and quick-handed, dodged with a flash and flew into midair. The two men crashed into each other and even ended up hugging! "You two, stand right there and don't move! Let me say it again: I don't like men, so stop trying to cuddle me!"

Lu Zheng said sternly. For his brothers, he would go all out to help, but he would absolutely not sell his body!

At this moment, a purple-haired figure approached Lu Zheng, spread her arms, and said with a smile: "I'm a woman. Can I give you a hug?"

Lu Zheng looked in surprise at Ji Zirou before him. Before he could answer, Ji Zirou took his silence as tacit agreement and gave him a hug directly.

"You're really amazing! You're the strongest man I've ever seen!"

Not far away, Mu Yunlan and Tantai Mingyue saw this scene and were so angry their noses nearly went crooked.

The two of them had yet to settle who was superior, and now another contender had appeared out of nowhere—and, they had to admit, Ji Zirou was more outstanding than both of them.

The national rankings were already out.

Mu Yunlan placed eighty-eighth in the Alliance Exam, Tantai Mingyue placed seventy-fourth, and Ji Zirou placed twentieth. She had originally been a student participating in the final supplementary exam, but even though she hadn't gone all out and her score was at the bottom, she still ranked twentieth.

That was a significant gap.

In everyone's understanding, the top twenty meant being able to be discussed alongside Lu Zheng, while students ranked beyond twentieth had no right to be mentioned in the same breath! Although the two women were furious, neither was Lu Zheng's official girlfriend, so they had no right to stop Ji Zirou's behavior and could only watch from the side, gnashing their teeth.

Lu Zheng, having received a pretty girl's praise, laughed and said:

"Thanks for the compliment. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now. I'm tired and need to rest."

Ji Zirou rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

"You've already slept twice, haven't you? And you're still tired! Fine, since you don't want to chat with me, I'll be sensible and leave."

His lie exposed to his face, Lu Zheng still stubbornly argued:

"Although I did sleep for a while, commanding the battle at the end expended a great deal of my mental energy."

"Ah, yes, yes, yes! Everything you say is right! See you in Tiannan City!"

Ji Zirou turned around gracefully and left directly.

It seemed she intended to return to Tiannan City that very night; with the teleportation array, it wouldn't take long.

By convention, there would be an awards ceremony tomorrow, but only the top ten of the Alliance Exam were qualified to attend. Ji Zirou had nothing going on, so it was normal for her to head back.

The supplementary exam scores were already out, and the total scores had been calculated and published.

Although the livestream had ended, the online discussions about Lu Zheng were far from stopping. After all, a student who slew a Saint-level BOSS right during the college entrance exam was destined to go down in history, and those who witnessed history firsthand were even happier than Lu Zheng himself.

Declining the well-wishes from Mu Yunlan, Tantai Mingyue, and the others, Lu Zheng shut off all other social interactions, returned to his hotel room, and began checking the haul from today's chest opening.

The very first item he saw gave Lu Zheng a feeling of pleasant surprise—with this thing, this run was not a loss! Please vote with recommendation tickets! Please follow and read!
