44: Chapter 44 Steel

"Me?" The Little Skeleton froze for a moment, then pointed its bony finger at itself in disbelief.

"Yes, that's right, you!" A faint curve appeared at the corner of Mo Han's mouth.

As expected, this Skeleton Soldier was very weak, not even daring to fight him.

The flames in the Little Skeleton's eye sockets flared up suddenly.

"Big Brother, you saw that, right!"

"He was the one who insisted on a duel with me!"

The Slime waved its hand impatiently.

"Alright, alright, just remember to leave the kill for me."

The Little Skeleton nodded repeatedly.

"Don't worry, Big Brother, I'll just [Heartsteel] him once."

With that, it walked over to Mo Han.

It stood still in front of him, motionless, with only the ghostly blue flames in its eye sockets flickering continuously.

One second,

Two seconds,

Three seconds,

"Do you want to duel me or not?" Mo Han frowned slightly and asked again.

What was wrong with this Skeleton Soldier?

What was it waiting for?

Just as Mo Han was completely baffled,

Five seconds had passed!

Heartsteel successfully marked Mo Han.

The Little Skeleton moved.

It raised its bony hand and slapped it toward Mo Han with an understated motion.

Clang—!

Accompanied by a crisp sound of clashing metal,

-609!

Mo Han froze in place.

He looked down at his chest, then looked up at the Little Skeleton, and finally looked at his health bar, which had dropped by a third.

???

"You... you ambushed me! You have no sense of martial honor!"

But when he looked up, there was no shadow of the 'Little Skeleton' in front of him.

The Little Skeleton had already retreated behind the Slime.

"Forget the duel, I'm not good at fighting."

"I just wanted to [Heartsteel] him."

Mo Han was shaking with rage, pointing at the Little Skeleton's back and roaring.

"If you're a man, have a fair and square duel with me!"

The Little Skeleton held the Slime in its arms and placed it in front of itself.

"Not only am I not a man, but I'm not even human at all."

"Hahahaha!"

!!!

Mo Han: "..."

How could this Skeleton Soldier be so shameless?!

However, before he could react,

The Slime descended from the sky like a red meteor.

Blobs of Slime splattered directly onto Mo Han's face.

Boom—!

-3480!

-3480!

-3480!

...

Mo Han didn't even have time to react before his HP was instantly depleted.

He turned into a beam of white light and was teleported out of the dungeon.

...

The Slime flew back to the Little Skeleton's side and patted its shoulder with satisfaction.

"Not bad, not bad."

"You, little lackey, you're actually a person of your word."

The Little Skeleton was very humble and didn't take credit.

"Big Brother is still the best."

"That was the limit of my damage, while Big Brother's damage was only that high because that was all the HP the opponent had left."

"This opponent was too weak; it wasn't enough to let Big Brother show off your true strength."

The Slime felt completely comfortable being praised.

It coughed twice, trying hard to look serious, but it couldn't suppress the corner of its mouth.

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

"I'm not as amazing as you say~"

"However..."

The Slime paused, acknowledging the Little Skeleton's strength for the first time.

"Your move isn't bad either."

The Little Skeleton chuckled.

"From now on, I won't steal Big Brother's kills."

"Just let me [Heartsteel] him once is enough."

The Slime patted its chest generously to promise.

"No problem!"

"In the future, for every monster Big Brother kills, you'll have a chance to [Heartsteel] it."

"Big Brother!"

"Second Brother!"

The two Magic Pets smiled at each other, embraced tightly, and let go of their previous grievances.

...

Outside the dungeon, on the high platform, many examiners and teachers were also very shocked.

"Is this really a Skeleton Soldier?"

"How could a Skeleton Soldier that's only level ten-something deal over 600 damage with such an understated attack?"

"There were no strange phenomena just now; what kind of skill did that Skeleton Soldier use?"

Commander Xu Tianjiao turned his head to look at City Lord Lu Feng.

"Old Lu, what exactly is going on here?"

City Lord Lu Feng grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Basic operation, don't be surprised."

Commander Xu Tianjiao: "..."

What the hell kind of 'basic operation' is that?

A weak Magic Pet, the Little Skeleton, dealt 600 damage in one hit.

You're telling me this is a basic operation?

Admissions Officer Han Feiyan's eyes lit up.

He stared at the Little Skeleton on the light screen, deep in thought.

It was obvious that the Little Skeleton's attack just now was not an ability inherent to the Skeleton Soldier race.

But with his level of experience, he couldn't even tell what kind of ability it was.

The heir of the Lu family is truly not simple.

...

On the square.

The whole place was dead silent.

Only the sound of Mo Han wailing on the ground echoed across the square.

Although the dungeon has soul protection and no life-or-death crises occur,

It does have 100% pain simulation.

The feeling of being blown to death alive is not pleasant.

Everyone looked at the eliminated Mo Han in disbelief.

"That's too perverted!"

"The Slime is one thing, but the Little Skeleton is this strong too?"

"What kind of monster is Lu Yuan exactly!"

Deng Tianhao's expression also turned completely serious.

Such a strong attack.

And there was no warning before the attack.

If it were him, without any preparation, he probably wouldn't be able to dodge it either.

Several of his lackeys behind him were acting incredibly arrogant.

"It's just a Little Skeleton, what are you acting tough for? Is it even one-tenth as strong as my Brother Hao?"

"Exactly, exactly,"

"A few days ago, I leveled up with Big Brother twice, and Big Brother's strength is just too insane!"

"High damage, strong attributes, insane skills!"

"This doesn't look like a Diamond-grade class at all; it looks more like an Epic-grade class!"

"Too low, too low!"

"What Epic class?"

"I think Boss's strength is enough to compare to a Legendary class!"

"As long as Boss makes a move, he can easily defeat Lu Yuan."

The few lackeys went back and forth, their voices getting louder and louder.

This caused the surrounding examinees to look over one after another.

"Deng Tianhao really does have strength."

"After all, he doesn't have a wealthy family background, yet he was able to raise his level to 15 in such a short time. This strength must be terrifyingly strong."

"It's said that Deng Tianhao's class mutated; maybe he really can defeat Lu Yuan."

"Go for it, Deng Tianhao!"

"Defeat Lu Yuan and you can join Star Academy!"

"Win some glory for our Demon Capital!"

"Deng Tianhao! Come on!"

"Deng Tianhao! Take down the Guardian!"

Listening to the discussions of the surrounding examinees,

The examinees around them started jeering one after another, their voices growing louder and louder.

Deng Tianhao stood in the crowd with a calm expression.

But inside, he was cursing his lackeys as idiots.

Morons!

Can't you see that both that Slime and the Little Skeleton are not right?!

Do you want to roast me on a fire, damn it?!

The examinees, seeing Deng Tianhao so confident, jeered even louder.

"Deng Tianhao, go on up!"

"Yeah, defeat the Guardian and enter Star Academy!"

"We all support you!"

"Come on!"

The corner of Deng Tianhao's mouth twitched violently.

He took a deep breath, trying hard to make his voice sound calm.

"I am indeed confident that I can defeat Lu Yuan."

"But I cannot deprive everyone of their chance; let's just follow the order."

"Now that the Slime is low on health, everyone has a chance."

Just at this moment, the examiner pulled out a slip of paper with the name of the next challenger written on it.

"Next, Deng Tianhao."

Deng Tianhao: ???

Fuck!! Even the damn examiner is targeting me!!
