148: Roadblock? Eliminate it with one move!
“Oh no, Lin Laoda ran into Left Rush!”
Zhong Miaomiao couldn't help but exclaim when she saw Left Rush in front of Lin Ling.
“Lin Laoda just reached Three-turn, and Left Rush is almost Five-turn. How can he fight him?”
“That’s too unfair! There must be something shady going on.”
The few people whom Lin Ling had brought to level up in the experience dungeon all spoke up.
In their opinion, Lin Ling, without equipment or a Forbidden Spell Scroll, was no match for Left Rush.
Although they had only interacted with Lin Ling once, at this moment, each of them was filled with worry.
“Tsk, isn’t he just useless? Someone who got in through the back door shouldn’t be here in the first place.”
“Is having money a big deal? Without the sacred set, without the Forbidden Spell Scroll, won’t he still fall before a true powerhouse?”
The two newcomers who hadn't gotten into the experience dungeon had always held a grudge against Lin Ling, and at this moment, they began to sneer even more.
Ling Qiye, next to them, slowly frowned.
At this moment, he suddenly regretted teaming up with these few people.
He had long noticed that Ji Mo and the others showed no worry at all.
It was as if Lin Ling wasn't facing a quasi-Five-turn Fire Mage, but a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
“All of you, shut up! Can’t you see he easily dodged Left Rush’s attack?” Ling Qiye coldly shouted.
“Captain, he was just lucky…”
An Archer still wanted to retort, but his voice abruptly stopped short.
Because Left Rush launched another attack on Lin Ling.
A wall of blazing flames instantly sealed Lin Ling's escape route, and at the same time, a fiery whirlwind immediately swept towards Lin Ling.
“Lin Laoda, be careful!” Zhong Miaomiao cried out worriedly again.
However, Lin Ling remained motionless this time.
A fiery glow suddenly lit up on the wooden staff in his hand.
A massive Blazing Fireball flew directly towards Left Rush.
Seeing this scene, Left Rush's face was full of disdain.
“Tsk, you want to tank my level 120 fiery whirlwind while unequipped? Do you really think your level 20 Blazing Fireball can go head-to-head with mine? You’re courting death!”
He roared and, like Lin Ling, did not dodge.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Miaomiao couldn't help but tightly grip her clothes in nervousness.
Zhang Ziye, on the other hand, suppressed the urge to burst out laughing.
It seemed that the blow he had just taken was insignificant.
“Lin Ling, I was careless once, yet you are still so overconfident. Do you really think you’re the Newcomer King?” Zhang Ziye said coldly, his gaze fixed on Lin Ling and the other person.
“Little Jiang, this Lin Ling’s temperament still needs more tempering. Not using a Forbidden Spell and being unequipped against a…”
A figure in a silver cloak couldn't help but shake his head and say to Jiang Shan Yi when he saw this scene.
But his words were cut short before he could finish.
Under his wide hood, a pair of somewhat weathered eyes instantly narrowed.
Boom…
The fiery whirlwind and the Blazing Fireball hit their targets almost simultaneously.
A nearly imperceptible number immediately appeared above Lin Ling’s head.
-1
“How is this possible? No damage? Lin Ling’s unequipped defense is higher than Left Rush’s damage?”
A gasp of surprise rang out from the crowd.
Everyone was stunned, but they suddenly seemed to realize something.
They abruptly shifted their gaze from Lin Ling to Left Rush.
But what they saw was Left Rush's body flying into the distance, and the large, blood-red number floating above his head.
-153216
Instant kill!
Left Rush landed and immediately fainted, and the equivalent assessment-specific health bar outside his HP bar was completely emptied.
Suddenly, the entire square fell into dead silence.
After a full ten seconds or so, a series of gasps finally rang out from the crowd.
“So strong!”
“Is this the strength of the first place in the preliminary round?”
“Gulp… My goodness, Lin Ling Laoda is even stronger than I thought.”
“Invincible! Three-turn one-shotting a Four-turn!”
Gasps of surprise continuously came from the crowd, and for a time, everyone’s gaze towards Lin Ling was filled with admiration.
A faint smile simultaneously appeared on the faces of Ji Mo and the others; at this moment, the sense of pride in their hearts instantly reached its peak.
Ling Qiye’s gaze was solemn, and for the first time, he looked at Lin Ling with utmost seriousness.
And his three followers beside him dared not utter a single word at this moment.
The power displayed by Lin Ling completely awed them.
Zhang Ziye had long been frozen in place.
The muscles on his face twitched incessantly; he desperately wished what he saw was fake, but such an unbelievable scene was happening right before his eyes.
Just then.
A furious shout suddenly rang out in front of an alloy gate.
“You must have cheated! Impossible! How could you instant-kill Captain Zuo?!”
As soon as these words came out, many people looked at Lin Ling with a hint of amusement.
“I request an audit of Lin Ling. Left Rush’s unequipped damage is as high as 110,000, and his unequipped defense has reached 70,000.
For Lin Ling to instant-kill Left Rush with a normal skill, he himself must have at least 180,000 damage.
How could a kid who just reached Three-turn possibly possess such damage?”
A voice rang out from the observation platform. Everyone looked over and saw a middle-aged man in a military uniform speaking with a livid face.
“Company Commander”
“Li Yong?”
“That’s right, I also request an on-site audit of Lin Ling.”
“Reject shady dealings! Reject favoritism!”
“Reject backdoor entry!”
“Reject high-level officials raising illegitimate children.”
Voices rang out from the Dragon Nest Warriors nearby.
They were all veterans of Dragon Nest, and Left Rush was an elite among them.
But now their captain was KO'd by a newcomer; no matter what, they refused to believe this was Lin Ling's true combat power.
Jiang Shan Yi's face was as black as a pot bottom at this moment.
These words didn't mention him, but somehow, it felt like every sentence was scolding him.
He was about to speak, but Li Yong preempted him again: “For fairness and justice, I request a three-party audit of Lin Ling.”
Jiang Shan Yi’s eyes instantly narrowed: “Li Yong, are you questioning me?”
Li Yong’s expression remained unchanged, his back straight, “Chief, I only deal with matters, not people. Red is red, black is black.”
Jiang Shan Yi was immediately amused.
He knew this Li Yong; he was a bit rigid and straightforward, always only acknowledging the justice in his heart.
He could be said to be the most impartial officer in the entire Dragon Nest.
His son failed the Dragon Nest entrance exam three years in a row, and Li Yong was unwilling to give him an exceptional admission opportunity.
This guy had obviously heard the rumors about Lin Ling entering through his back door, which was why he held a grudge against him.
“Fine, you stubborn fool, then who do you want to conduct the audit?” Jiang Shan Yi said grumpily.
“I’ll do it. I wonder if this Company Commander agrees?”
A figure in a silver cloak suddenly spoke.
At this moment, everyone’s gaze focused on this person.
“You are…”
Li Yong couldn't help but swallow, though he was simple, he was by no means foolish, a figure respected by Jiang Shan Yi in such a manner was definitely not a simple character.
The man gently lifted the cloak from his head, and his face was covered by a bizarre bronze ox-head mask.
Li Yong’s pupils suddenly contracted.
A fine layer of sweat instantly appeared on his forehead.
“Senior… Senior…”
“Hahaha… Don’t be nervous.”
The man spoke, taking a step forward, and the next second, he appeared in front of Lin Ling.
Lin Ling did not make any rash moves with this person's appearance.
He actually faintly felt a special aura on this person.
He had felt this aura on Galen Pushkin, and there was also a hint of it on Zhou Weiyun.
“Eight-turn! This is definitely an Eight-turn!”
Lin Ling was inwardly shocked.
“Dragon Country really has more than one Eight-turn? Is this the true foundation of Dragon Country? Why did I never hear of such existences in my previous life?”
“Hero’s Eye!”
“The target is wearing a shielding item. Its specifications exceed Hero’s Eye. Cannot be peered into.”
“You are being peered at by Ren Niu…”
