165: Is this something that can be trained by humans?

"Old Chen!"

After a long silence, the team leader from Wushan University looked at Chen Xiaolin with a complex expression.

Yesterday, he and Chen Xiaolin had agreed that during today's competition, Blazing Dragon University would hold back a little, so that Wushan University wouldn't lose too badly and could save some Face.

Well...

During the match, Wang Chen did indeed hold back; the fight was back-and-forth and very harmonious.

However...

The team leader from Wushan University felt worse the more he watched.

Isn't he holding back a bit too much?

He's practically flooding the entire Grand Stadium!

"Hehe!"

Seeing his old friend's resentful gaze, Chen Xiaolin gave a dry laugh, feeling somewhat helpless.

He hadn't expected that even though he told Wang Chen to hold back a bit and give Wushan University some Face on the arena,

the result... was that Wang Chen turned the battle into a teaching session.

This style of fighting was even more humiliating than just killing them instantly!

However, despite his inner helplessness, Chen Xiaolin was no less shocked than anyone else.

Wang Chen's superlative combat techniques almost made his jaw drop.

"This brat, he's hidden himself so deeply!"

"I'm afraid that even if he changed to a common class, his strength would still far exceed other professionals of the same Rank!"

"He really is a monster!"

"I remember, when Bai Ziting was his age, he wasn't even this much of a Prodigy!"

Thinking this with shock, Chen Xiaolin turned his head to glance at his resentful old friend, thought for a moment, and said:

"Old Sun, I didn't expect Wang Chen to hold back so aggressively either!"

"How about this: after the tournament ends today, I'll treat you to some relaxation tonight. At least that way you can get something back, right?"

"Get lost!"

Hearing this, the team leader from Wushan University snorted coldly in annoyance.

"Who the hell wants you to treat them?"

It would have been better if Chen Xiaolin hadn't mentioned it; now that he had, Teacher Sun from Wushan University was even more irritated.

"Then what do you want?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiaolin spread his hands and asked helplessly.

"How about this..."

Teacher Sun rolled his eyes and said with a cold Face:

"In a while, for the exploration of that wild Secret Realm dungeon, have Wang Chen lead some people to provide support for us!"

"Hmm?"

Chen Xiaolin raised an eyebrow, his expression somewhat surprised.

"Wait... your Secret Realm dungeon exploration needs us to send people to provide support?"

"Don't tell me you haven't secured the ownership rights to this Secret Realm dungeon yet?"

He asked with some surprise.

As everyone knows, wild Secret Realm dungeons are generally owned by whoever discovers them.

Since Wushan University was already preparing to send people in for exploration, the fact that they still needed support was beyond Chen Xiaolin's expectations.

"If that weren't the case, would I even be inviting you?"

Hearing this, Teacher Sun nodded helplessly and said:

"This Secret Realm dungeon was discovered jointly by Wushan University, the Star-Moon Guild, and the Prairie Fire Guild. Both sides have been unable to reach an agreement on the ownership of the Secret Realm dungeon."

"It was only recently decided that we would send young people in to explore. Whoever's team defeats the final boss and obtains the Secret Realm Key will gain ownership of the Secret Realm dungeon."

"So what do you mean by that?"

Chen Xiaolin understood and looked at his old friend with a strange expression: "You want us, Blazing Dragon University, to work for free for you?"

"No way!"

Teacher Sun shook his head, glanced sideways at Chen Xiaolin, and sneered:

"You're not the type to do anything without a reward; if I asked you to work for free, would you even help?"

"If we successfully obtain the Secret Realm Key this time, we will split the ownership of the Secret Realm dungeon 50/50, and we will also split the annual profits equally thereafter."

"That works!"

Chen Xiaolin nodded: "Then we'll discuss the details after the tournament ends."

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the large screen in the sky.

"Next, let's continue watching Wang Chen's performance."

"Tsk!"

Hearing this, Teacher Sun's smile vanished. Looking at his own student being "taught" on the screen, his mood became irritable again.

...

Inside the battle Secret Realm.

Bang, bang, bang!!

Dull sounds of collision rang out continuously on the arena, and occasionally, weapons clashed, sparking a few flares.

At this moment.

The third contestant from Wushan University had already taken the stage.

This person was a main force of Wushan University, Zhao Wuyang, a level 70, second-turn Shadow Assassin.

He could be seen drifting uncertainty around the arena; every attack was like a viper flicking its tongue, incomparably sharp.

Bang!

Dagger and longsword collided.

Using the force of the recoil, Zhao Wuyang retreated.

Swish!

While retreating, his figure flickered and instantly vanished from the arena.

"Hmm?"

Seeing this, Wang Chen raised an eyebrow, a flash of surprise appearing in his eyes.

"This skill connection is quite good!"

Nodding inwardly, he kept his feet planted, and the serrated longsword in his hand was suddenly moved behind his back.

Clang!

The next second, an incredibly sharp dagger suddenly appeared from the air and stabbed heavily onto the serrated longsword.

Bang!

Immediately after, Wang Chen twisted his body and kicked out like lightning.

He kicked Zhao Wuyang, who had appeared in mid-air at the same time, flying seven or eight meters away.

Thud, thud, thud...

After landing, Zhao Wuyang stumbled back seven or eight steps before stabilizing his figure.

At this moment.

He looked at Wang Chen with a shocked expression, his Face filled with confusion.

"Classmate Wang Chen, how did you discover my tracks?"

Zhao Wuyang asked, puzzled.

He had seen that moment very clearly; before he even launched his attack, Wang Chen had already placed his serrated longsword on the path of his attack.

This was practically like knowing the future!

"It's very simple; your situation is somewhat similar to Wei Ping's."

Hearing this, Wang Chen said in a calm tone:

"Gaze also has weight. Before you launched your attack, I had already sensed your intent."

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Zhao Wuyang couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

Gaze has weight?

Wang Chen's words left him feeling very confused.

"As the saying goes, 'The cicada knows of the autumn breeze before it stirs.' When your combat instinct is trained to the extreme, when someone looks at you, you can basically sense seventy or eighty percent of their thoughts."

Seeing Zhao Wuyang stunned, Wang Chen explained it to him again.

"This..."

Hearing Wang Chen's words, Zhao Wuyang's mouth twitched, his expression somewhat bitter.

Combat instinct; he had been training it tirelessly since he was young. He wouldn't dare say he trained it incredibly well, but he considered himself top-tier among his peers.

However, to train it to the mysterious level Wang Chen described...

Zhao Wuyang had absolutely no confidence in his heart.

This was no longer something that could be achieved through hard work; without talent, one could train for a lifetime and never reach it.

"Classmate Wang Chen, I am thoroughly convinced by your strength!"

"There's no need to continue fighting!"

Sighing in his heart, Zhao Wuyang cupped his hands toward Wang Chen and directly chose to concede.
