79: Is it difficult to acknowledge the excellence of others?

Three minutes and forty-six seconds!

The square of Blazing Dragon University was silent.

Everyone, looking at the time displayed on the darkened grid of the giant screen, fell into silence.

This was an incredibly terrifying achievement, so terrifying that their worldview was shattered the moment they saw it.

A newly enrolled student cleared a Silver-tier Secret Realm Dungeon in less than four minutes.

Before today, no one had ever imagined that someone could achieve such a terrifying feat.

The second and third-year students who were watching the show felt a little difficulty breathing at this moment.

When they were in their first year, even when their first year was almost over, their time to clear the Silver-tier Secret Realm Dungeon, "Beast Tide Impact," was more than double Wang Chen's current time.

This eerie silence lasted for an unknown period until Wang Chen's figure was teleported out of the Secret Realm Dungeon and stood in the center of the square, only then did someone come back to their senses and utter a trembling sound.

"Is it fake? Am I dreaming?"

"How could this Wang Chen possess such terrifying strength?"

"Even if he contracted two Divine Beast-level Beast Pets, it shouldn't be like this?!"

"That was the record Bai Shen once set; he just broke it so easily?"

"Could it be that Blazing Dragon University is about to have another terrifying Genius who will dominate the school in their lower grades?"

"What a Prodigy!"

"..."

Looking at that tall and straight figure, a surging tide of discussion erupted among the onlookers, and the expression on everyone's face was one of extreme disbelief.

All of this simply exceeded their imagination!

At this moment, on the viewing platform, the expressions of the teachers from Blazing Dragon University's three major academies were likewise.

Although they had expected it, they were still extremely shocked when Wang Chen's score truly broke the record.

This terrifying potential was something they had never seen in their lives, even though they had taught many Geniuses over the years.

"This kid's future achievements will definitely be higher than Bai Shen's!" Referee Sun Miao said with some shock.

At this moment, Wang Chen was already standing in the center of the square, while the students who entered the Secret Realm Dungeon at the same time as him, the fastest among them, Zhao Li and Zhou Wu, and other provincial champions, had only reached the fifth wave.

The gap between the two sides was self-evident!

Everyone around them nodded involuntarily upon hearing this, while simultaneously looking with shock at the tall and calm young man in the center of the square.

At this moment, they were not only shocked by the strength Wang Chen displayed but also surprised by the young man's calm Heart-Nature.

To accomplish such an astonishing feat and remain so composed, many of them might not be able to achieve such a Heart-Nature.

"I'll go talk to him about the arena competition. You all think about what kind of compensation you should give him first."

Sun Miao looked back at the people on the viewing platform, then moved her feet and appeared directly in the square.

"Hello, Teacher."

Seeing Teacher Sun Miao suddenly appear before him, Wang Chen politely greeted her.

"Mm!"

Sun Miao nodded upon hearing this, then said with a complex tone:

"Student Wang Chen, because of the Nine-tailed Fox's special ability, the school teachers hope that you will not bring her to the upcoming arena competition."

Upon hearing Teacher Sun Miao's words, Wang Chen was slightly startled, and his expression became a little strange.

It seemed that Susu had displayed her Divine Might in the Secret Realm Dungeon and scared these teachers.

"Don't worry, Teacher, I know what's important!"

After thinking for a moment, he nodded directly and said, "For the upcoming arena competition, Susu will not participate."

Susu?

Sun Miao was startled upon hearing this, then her gaze shifted to the Nine-tailed Fox on Wang Chen's shoulder.

Is that her name? It's quite pleasant!

Thinking to herself, Sun Miao nodded, satisfied with Wang Chen's answer.

"Don't worry, the school will compensate you and absolutely won't let you suffer any losses."

Upon hearing this, a smile appeared on Wang Chen's face.

There are benefits to be had?

That's not bad.

Actually, even without Teacher Sun Miao saying it, he didn't plan to let Susu participate in the upcoming arena competition.

And not just Susu; he even planned to keep Ice Purity in the spectator seats.

These two little ones had swept through the Secret Realm Dungeon; the arena competition should be left to him, their master!

Otherwise, wouldn't the two little ones steal all the thunder?

"Alright, we will list the compensation items later for you to choose from."

"Now that you've cleared the Secret Realm Dungeon first, go to the side and rest while you wait."

After giving Wang Chen instructions, Sun Miao turned and returned to the high platform.

After she left, Wang Chen walked to the side and focused his gaze on the giant screen in the sky, searching for Situ Yu's figure.

Soon, he found the familiar figure in a lower grid.

Situ Yu was seen wearing a splendid leather armor, continuously firing arrows with her longbow.

Beside her, a large silver-white wolf, as big as a calf, constantly moved around, biting the throats of approaching monsters.

It was precisely the legendary Divine Beast, the Howling Moon Silver Wolf.

With this guy joining the battle, Situ Yu's performance in the Secret Realm Dungeon was quite good at this time; she had already reached the fifth wave, placing her in the first echelon with the champions from other provinces.

"It seems that this girl should have no problem clearing the Secret Realm Dungeon."

After checking Situ Yu's situation, Wang Chen was too lazy to check on anyone else's situation and found a place to comfortably tease the two little ones.

Five minutes later.

A flash of light appeared in the square, and a burly figure emerged from the light.

It was Zhao Li.

At this moment, he was covered in blood, and a surging Battle Intent still lingered on his body, clearly having gone through a fierce battle.

"Nine minutes to clear!"

"This is definitely the best score among all new students!"

"The teachers will surely be greatly shocked!"

After landing, Zhao Li thought silently to himself, a smile appearing on his face, ready to receive the amazed gazes of the crowd.

He had already inquired that in previous new student ranking battles, the best time to clear a Silver-tier Secret Realm Dungeon was mostly between nine and ten minutes.

His score could basically rank in the top twenty among past achievements.

However...

As he was feeling pleased with himself, he noticed that the expressions of the older students were extremely strange, and not a single one of them showed admiration for his score.

"Hmph!"

Seeing this scene, Zhao Li snorted unhappily, his expression a little disdainful.

In his opinion, it must be that his clearance score was too good, causing these older students to be jealous.

"A bunch of narrow-minded guys, is it that hard to admit that others are better than you?"

Thinking silently to himself, he shook his head disdainfully and prepared to check the clearance status of others.

However, just then, his pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked with some disbelief at a figure on the edge of the square.

"Wang Chen?"

"Why is he here now?"
