The Clan Elders paid no mind to the hostility from so mbers of the Academy Alliance. There were those in their aristocratic families who looked down on the Academy Alliance, and naturally, there were those in the Academy Alliance who had no respect for their aristocratic families. As long as their superiors permitted interactions between the two sides, those below could only keep their opinions to themselves.
Amidst the sarcastic remarks, one teacher was sipping his tea, his gaze fixed intently on Yan Yingyue’s na on the leaderboard.
At the sa ti, he was conversing with soone through the Heavenly Path System...
[Informant, what are the results?]
[The results are in. According to statistics relevant to our Galactic Priest profession, there are indeed a number of five-star professionals who can instantly kill an S-level difficulty BOSS in a dungeon. For instance, an ability that applies a percentage damage BUFF. This Yan Yingyue, if she possesses such a BUFF or ability, could rapidly kill the BOSS in a dungeon. However, even a BOSS in a dungeon, as long as it reaches SSS-level difficulty rank, would beco immune to percentage damage and instant kill, just like a BOSS in the outside world. Rember to observe her performance when she encounters an SSS-level difficulty BOSS.]
[What if she doesn’t encounter an SSS-level BOSS?]
[Given that her current performance marks her as the best among the five-star professionals of her cohort, she is a key target for observation. When the ti cos, we will allocate more personnel to investigate her thoroughly.]
[But even as a five-star Priest, does she possess the ability to single-handedly kill a group BOSS in the wild within one hour? The BOSSes in the wild are immune to percentage damage and instant kill.]
[Indeed, the chances of this are not high. Therefore, we have only identified her as one of the potential triggers of the first and third sounds of the Great Path. Although we currently assu the triggers for the first and third sounds of the Great Path are linked, the two events might not have been caused by the sa person. After all, the probability derived from the system has not reached 100%. Hence, we must record all suspicious individuals.]
[Yes, that’s right. We have already reported all the five-star and four-star professionals in this province’s examination. Only this Yan Yingyue stands out extraordinarily.]
[We also have a basic grasp of related information from other regions. Indeed, comparing the performance of all four-star and five-star newly-awakened professionals across all regions, this Yan Yingyue is the most outstanding. Tead up with an ordinary Skeleton Mage, they exhibit an extrely fast monster-killing speed and a potent BOSS-killing capability; this is indeed intriguing.]
[Can we simply ignore the presence of the Skeleton Mage?]
[Well, not necessarily. There has been a five-star Priest who possessed a skill that greatly enhanced the summoning quantity and quality of a summoning-type profession. There was also another Priest who could temporarily elevate the skill rank of another individual. The five-star Priest profession is enigmatic and versatile, capable of enhancing almost anything. Hence, anything is possible. Perhaps she possesses a similar ability, hence her choice to team up with a Skeleton Mage. In this way, they can achieve the highest efficiency with the fewest people.]
[You live up to your na as Informant, so well-inford! Hearing your explanation, I have a better understanding of their rapid monster-killing speed. Five-star professionals are truly sothing else! I heard we made a move on her when she first awakened.]
[Yes, but those people on Earth were prepared, and our attempt to interfere failed. No need to rush. First, let’s identify all suitable targets, and then we’ll strike at all of them simultaneously!]
[Understood, I will continue observing.]
...
「In the dungeon.」
Seeing Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue once again climbing to the top of the leaderboard, many of the ten aristocratic youths looked displeased. They had been thoroughly suppressed by Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue the previous day. If this trend continued, the outco would hardly differ.
"Are we aristocratic youths going to be suppressed by those two from the Academy Alliance indefinitely?" one of the aristocratic youths complained unhappily.
"What do you want to do then? Kill them?" Ji Yu retorted with a pout. "It can’t be helped if our skills are inferior."
"If it weren’t for Fatty Chen’s sake, I might have actually considered it," Zhao Wuming snorted coldly.
He did indeed harbor the thought of killing the two in front. Aristocratic youths cannot be insulted! If word got out, people would only say that the youths of the aristocratic families were incompetent. They’d then go on about how the aristocratic families were in decline and had issues with talent succession, rather than acknowledging how capable those two were. Zhao Wuming naturally couldn’t accept his aristocratic family’s reputation being tarnished. But Fatty Chen was obviously protecting that Skeleton Mage, so he was helpless. After all, they were all from aristocratic families. Zhao Wuming might quarrel with Fatty Chen, but a bond of brotherhood still existed between them; he naturally didn’t want to fall out completely over outsiders.
"You don’t need to say it’s for my sake," Fatty Chen said. "Even if it weren’t, with their combat strength, we might not gain any advantage if we confronted them. The two of them can handle a Golden BOSS; it’s clear they’re not just a simple Skeleton Mage and Priest."
Fatty Chen patted Zhao Wuming’s shoulder, signaling him not to be too arrogant.
"Being able to kill a Golden BOSS does not an they can kill us. A Golden BOSS doesn’t necessarily have control, debuffs, and other such abilities. It’s quite different from fighting a real person!"
"Then look at their monster-killing speed on the leaderboard. Can we match that?"
This statent left Zhao Wuming almost speechless. He didn’t want to admit it, but their monster-killing speed was unnervingly fast.
Zhao Wuming knew there had to be so trick to their rapid monster-killing speed, but killing monsters quickly didn’t an they could kill people quickly. Under the Heavenly Path’s rule, many abilities can greatly enhance a professional’s combat power, allowing them to mow down monsters like grass. However, these abilities are essentially ineffective against other professionals. So Zhao Wuming was not genuinely scared. It was sowhat unrealistic to assu that the two individuals possessed such overwhelming combat power that they could kill monsters that quickly. In terms of combat power, even a team of first-transition professionals, far stronger than them, might not match their monster-killing speed. Therefore, their monster-killing speed must be achieved by unconventional ans. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be too far-fetched to claim they were stronger than an entire team of first-transition professionals? It was rely that no one yet understood the thod they were using, which was why everyone was so intimidated!
While others were focused on Chen Mo and Yan Yingyue, the two themselves were extrely busy, with no ti to consider what others were thinking. While the Skeleton Monster was furiously clearing out monsters, they were busy searching a wide area for hidden missions and Special BOSSes.
Yesterday, we searched all day and found only one; such a rate was far too slow. I’m yearning for the SSS-level rewards, so I feel a strong sense of urgency. It’s incredibly challenging: in just thirty short days, we need to accumulate 2,880 days’ worth of progress to achieve an SSS-level reward. Every opportunity, every mont, must be seized...
As the saying goes, "Persistence pays off!"
After an incessant half-hour search, Chen Mo finally discovered a peculiar cave.
