Chapter 315: The Hidden Shark
"This non-specialist... is a bit outrageous!"
"It's indeed outrageous. Without using any skills, just with an elbow, he smashed Prince Saint Lucian to pieces!"
"It's too exaggerated!"
"And the martial arts intent he burst out in an instant earlier was even more terrifying than mine, a second-tier Martial King!"
"Ah, this..."
"..."
After a brief silence.
The audience eventually broke out of their shock.
Actually, they were frightened.
Just like the mont when Prince Saint Lucian invoked his spirit, the martial pressure he burst out directly made the audience feel worse than death.
And the martial arts intent that Ling Zhan burst out in an instant was like a heavy hamr, fiercely striking their hearts.
Although it did not cause substantial harm, it had already instilled a fear of this non-specialist in their hearts.
However, at this mont, they had already reacted.
After escaping from fear, those who had long accustod to worshiping the strong began to discuss this non-specialist.
Among them were already many voices of admiration.
They didn't understand the non-specialist's first battle.
But this second battle truly showcased his extrely terrifying close combat power to everyone.
"Do you think, besides this terrifying close combat, he might also have high attainnts in long-range spells?"
Suddenly.
Soone in the crowd asked with a complex expression.
"It's entirely possible..."
"Yes, he is a non-specialist! Non-specialists are supposed to be a bit good at everything, right?"
"Ah? That's too terrifying! He's practically a jack of all trades!"
"If his long-range spells are also highly accomplished, then no doubt, he will definitely beco one of the top contenders for the championship!"
"..."
After this battle, all the audience had already recognized the strength of this non-specialist.
Even the contestants from various countries had now restrained their disdain.
Especially the contestants still in Group A, they had already developed a wariness in their hearts that they were unwilling to admit.
'I hope I don't face this non-specialist'!
But it could only be a thought.
In fact, each group would only have 2 spots.
So the probability of not facing each other wasn't non-existent, just very low.
"Hmph! It's just a display of so brute strength..."
"And already scared everyone into submission!"
"A bunch of trash!"
Norton Lane crossed his arms, standing in front of the spectator railing, coldly scanning the surrounding audience.
Even after seeing Saint Lucian's miserable state with his own eyes, Norton still had no fear.
Instead, it ignited a fighting spirit in his heart!
Indeed!
This non-specialist is a worthy opponent!
If he had faced the non-specialist's martial attack, not only could he have resolved it safely, but he could also have launched a fierce counterattack.
It seems that Prince Saint Lucian's reputation was undeserved.
Previously, he had heard that Prince Saint Lucian was called 'the most likely to catch up with Saint Luni,' but now seeing...
Ha!
Just a piece of trash!
......
After his match ended, Ling Zhan returned to the preparation area to continue watching the matches.
The subsequent matches were still rather dull.
Most of the matches were one-sided.
Few matches were evenly matched.
Moreover, Ling Zhan keenly noticed that those facing strong national contestants were mostly from small countries.
Generally weak.
So the matches progressed quickly.
The first elimination round took over two hours to complete.
But the second elimination round took only half an hour.
Now each group had only 12 contestants left.
It’s worth ntioning that in the second elimination round, one contestant from the Dragon Kingdom was eliminated.
That person was Shou Jingyuan.
He faced the top seed from the Giant Kingdom, Albert Love, whose class was Thunder Law King.
As expected, amidst the dazzling lightning, Shou Jingyuan was electrocuted black all over, with all his magical runes losing their effect.
The pitch-black giant then returned to the preparation area with heavy steps.
When Shou Jingyuan returned to the Dragon Kingdom's preparation area.
The embarrassed Shou Jingyuan saw Ling Zhan and instinctively turned his head, wanting to avoid his gaze.
Afraid that the other would mock him at this ti.
However...
He found that Ling Zhan had no intention of paying attention to him.
His eyes never fell on him throughout.
Ignored...
Completely ignored!
At this mont.
Shou Jingyuan painfully realized that from beginning to end, this non-specialist had never looked at him directly once!
All the previous hatred was just his own wishful thinking!
"You've been observing for so long, you should have noticed..."
"The official backstage system intentionally arranges other zone's last-seeded contestants to face the top seeds of strong countries."
At this ti.
Li Chaoge, who had been waiting for Ling Zhan to initiate a conversation, couldn't help but speak.
Her cold voice carried a bit of a sulky tone.
As if annoyed by Ling Zhan's indifference.
Even Li Chaoge herself didn’t know why she proactively talked to this non-specialist again.
In the past, she would not take the initiative to talk to others.
"I noticed."
In response, Ling Zhan just nodded.
Actually, it's not surprising.
On the surface, it was said to be a randomly generated match schedule.
But was it truly 'random' and not 'intentional'?
Even if soone wanted to question it, facing such a massive official event organization, in the end, they could only swallow their doubts.
The official action wasn’t unfair.
It was just to expedite the schedule by eliminating the small fry early.
Then in the subsequent top 16 and top 8 matches, they could present more exciting matches to the global audience.
Obviously.
In the official's recognition, as the Dragon Kingdom's third seed, Shou Jingyuan was also categorized as 'small fry' and was matched against Albert.
Actually, Ling Zhan was also initially regarded as small fry by the officials.
In the first match, he faced the second seed of the Fusang Kingdom, Ichikawa Ichiro.
Ichikawa Ichiro ranked at the bottom among many second seeds.
But he wasn't diocre.
As the Dragon Kingdom's fifth seed and a freshman, facing Ichikawa Ichiro was a small test by the officials.
After Ling Zhan displayed his unusual strength, it might have piqued the officials' interest.
So they arranged for Prince Saint Lucian in the next match to truly test Ling Zhan's level.
The result was clear.
Shou Jingyuan was a genuine 'small fry'.
And Ling Zhan had beco a 'hidden shark'.
