129: Strength can defeat skill, and a normal attack is a powerful move!

"Ah!!!"

A shrill scream rang out. Gao Ming, struck by Wang Chen's whip kick, felt as if his entire body was being torn apart.

And that was indeed the case.

While still flying backward, his body began to dissipate into light particles, about to be teleported out of the Trial Land Secret Realm.

"I... I was insta-killed by a basic attack?!"

An incredibly intense pain assaulted his nerves. Gao Ming looked at his body dissipating into light particles and belatedly realized.

The Trial Land Secret Realm was different from ordinary Secret Realm Dungeons. There were no teleportation scrolls. There were only two ways to leave: one was when the Secret Realm closed, and the other was death!

"How is this possible!!!"

"This is absolutely impossible. His Rank is only sixty-five. How could his strength be so great?!"

Roaring in shock in his heart, Gao Ming stared intently at the opposite side, his face filled with disbelief.

And on the other side.

"You couldn't even block one of my kicks. You're too weak!"

"It seems you don't even have the qualifications to cooperate with me!"

Wang Chen looked at Gao Ming with a calm expression and spoke indifferently.

"No!"

Hearing his words, Gao Ming roared hysterically, wanting to say something.

However, at this moment, his body completely turned into light particles under the power of space and was teleported out of the Secret Realm.

At the same time.

The dagger Wang Chen held in his hand also disappeared.

Seeing this, Wang Chen raised an eyebrow, a hint of disappointment and annoyance flashing in his eyes.

Eliminating a competitor, and there weren't even any spoils of war... This "Trial Grounds" Secret Realm was simply too much of a rip-off!

Moreover...

"Hiss!"

"If eliminating a competitor doesn't yield spoils, then could it be that killing wild monsters in the Secret Realm only gives points and no other rewards?"

After eliminating Gao Ming, Wang Chen thought of a possibility, and his mood couldn't help but become even less pleasant.

If it was as he thought, he would suffer a huge loss in the qualifiers.

"Forget it, I'll find a wild monster to try first!"

Wang Chen sighed, turned, and strode towards the sacred mountain in the far distance.

...

...

Whoosh!!

In the Grand Stadium, when the scene of Wang Chen insta-killing Gao Ming with a single kick appeared on the screen, the atmosphere in the stands immediately ignited.

"Holy crap!!!"

"Insta-kill? Am I seeing this right?!"

"Gao Ming's Rank is even higher than Wang Chen's, yet he was eliminated directly by one kick?"

"Even if the Assassin profession's physique attribute is weaker than other professions, it shouldn't be this exaggerated, right?"

"The power of this kick? Wang Chen's strength attribute must be at least over eight hundred points; otherwise, it's absolutely impossible for it to have such formidable power!"

"Damn it! The power of Wang Chen's kick is even higher than the damage I deal with my ultimate skill!"

"What is this? Basic attacks are ultimate skills, one force subdues ten associations?"

"This is getting interesting. Wang Chen's strength far exceeds his own Rank. He can probably Rank among the top players in all participants of the qualifiers!"

"..."

The audience was buzzing with discussion, everyone's faces filled with shock.

A Rank sixty-five Giant-Beast Master, without using a Beast Pet, insta-killed a higher-Rank Assassin with a single normal attack.

The terrifying power this represented directly shocked them.

And in the viewing areas of the various participating teams, the non-playing participants and the team leaders also had dumbfounded expressions.

"Isn't Wang Chen's Divine Beast-level Dragon Beast Pet a magic-type Ice Dragon? Why would it give him such a powerful strength attribute feedback?"

Huaqing University's team leader, Gu Wanqing, had an uncertain expression, his heart filled with confusion.

If Wang Chen had insta-killed Gao Ming with a magic skill, he could still accept it.

After all, receiving attribute feedback from a Divine Beast-level Ice Dragon, Wang Chen's intelligence attribute would definitely be extremely high.

But now, it was just an ordinary kick...

"Could it be that Wang Chen's Dragon Beast Pet not only possesses formidable magic attacks but also has extremely strong close-combat ability?"

Guessing in his heart, Gu Wanqing felt that the situation was somewhat beyond his expectations.

Behind him, Lan Qianlong's indifferent expression faded, also becoming solemn.

"This guy, with equipment buffs, his strength attribute has probably exceeded a thousand points!"

Insta-killing Gao Ming made Lan Qianlong take Wang Chen seriously.

Although he could also do the same, he was a special profession Dragon Slayer. His professional characteristics determined that his natural increase in strength attribute would exceed other professions.

For Wang Chen, a Giant-Beast Master, to be able to do this was quite terrifying!

"This is good too. I was worried you were too weak before, and defeating you wouldn't give me a sense of accomplishment!"

"Now, the stronger you are, the more interested I become in you!"

Lan Qianlong gradually became excited in his heart.

...

...

In the Trial Land Secret Realm.

"Bang!!"

A dull collision sound rang out, and the broken corpse of a Shadow Wolf fell to the ground.

"Indeed!"

Wang Chen shook the blood off his Serrated Longsword, sighing in his heart.

Just as he had guessed before, after killing a wild monster, he only gained points, no experience at all.

And the number of points given was extremely small. The Shadow Wolf was a Rank fifty wild monster, yet it only gave one point, which was only one percent of what Gao Ming gave.

But killing a Shadow Wolf and killing Gao Ming took the same amount of effort.

"It seems the qualifiers encourage participants to kill each other; otherwise, they definitely wouldn't suppress the points gained from killing wild monsters so low!"

"Victory points are the most important!"

Muttering to himself, Wang Chen turned and jumped onto a large tree, observing the surrounding situation.

Now, as the qualifiers officially began, the entire surrounding forest had become noisy.

Looking around, there were many places where dust rose, interspersed with faint sounds of battle.

The students from various universities participating in the qualifiers were all striving to kill wild monsters and earn points.

Observing the surroundings, Wang Chen waved his hand, and a light screen appeared before his eyes.

(Wang Chen, 101 points.)

(Zuo Qingwen, 35 points.)

(Zhao Mingkong, 28 points.)

...

This was a convenience provided by the Secret Realm Dungeon to participants, allowing them to view other participants' points and their current ranking through the light screen.

After eliminating Gao Ming, Wang Chen's Rank directly soared to first place, far surpassing everyone else.

"I guess others have already realized the importance of victory points and are definitely starting to target other participants."

"I also need to act quickly. Since killing wild monsters only gives points, I'll focus on other participants and firmly maintain my first-place position in points."

Wang Chen thought to himself, and amidst the sounds of battle around him, he locked onto the one closest to him.
