48: Chapter 48 All Perished? Zhao Kailai's Fury!

The Ghost Race creature was screaming in rage, yet it was completely helpless.

After battling the Ghost Race creature for a while, Jiang Ling suddenly stopped, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Your movement technique is so bizarre because of this strange mist on your body!"

"This must be the innate Divine Ability of your Ghost Race!"

"However, your mist is naturally countered by my Divine Thunder!"

"If I fill the entire town with Divine Thunder, you won't be able to use this innate Divine Ability anymore!"

"You will be like a tiger with its teeth pulled, just waiting to die!"

"Now, I will make your Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering!"

...

Hearing Jiang Ling's words, the Ghost Race creature's expression changed drastically, and it roared, "Arrogant! You lowly Human Race will eventually all become slaves to our Ghost Race!"

While it said this, its body was very honest; it turned around and tried to run.

Crackle, crackle...

How could Jiang Ling allow it to escape? He unleashed his SSS-Rank World-Ending Divine Thunder with all his might.

In an instant, the entire town turned into an ocean of lightning.

The Ghost Race creature felt as if it were trapped in a quagmire; lightning crackled incessantly on its body, making it difficult to even move.

Jiang Ling let out a loud shout, his body wreathed in lightning, and he charged fiercely toward the Ghost Race creature.

"Wind Thunder Slash!"

Intense lightning gathered on Jiang Ling's blade, forming a massive ball of light that completely engulfed the Ghost Race creature.

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the Ghost Race creature's body was shattered by Jiang Ling's slash, exploding into pieces.

A black shadow darted out from its body, likely its true form, attempting to flee again, but with blue lightning everywhere, it had no way to escape.

Jiang Ling shouted again and slashed down once more; all the lightning in the world gathered and struck the black shadow.

The black shadow shattered with a bang, turning into wisps of green smoke that drifted away, completely annihilated.

However, at the core of the black shadow's explosion, a black bead seemed to have fallen.

The Living Dead who were fighting against Zhao Jinyu and the others seemed to have their Life Qi drained at this moment, and they all collapsed to the ground.

"Ding! Battle caused upgrade effect to double, Realm increased by 103%!"

"Ding! Your Rank has reached Rank 16, 2.545%!"

...

"Holy crap! My Realm increased by 103% all at once?"

"I've reached Rank 16?"

Jiang Ling was dumbfounded.

Isn't this Rank increase a bit too fast?

Looking at the fallen Living Dead, Jiang Ling pondered for a moment and understood.

It must be that those Living Dead and this Ghost Race creature were one entity; by killing the Ghost Race creature, Jiang Ling had effectively taken out all the Living Dead as well.

These Living Dead were a terrifying number!

So it triggered the 'the stronger the battle, the stronger the boost' super doubling effect, and the Realm increased by 103% directly!

"As expected, the higher the difficulty, the greater the harvest!"

"Also, it's fortunate that my Supernatural Ability is World-Ending Divine Thunder, which can counter this Ghost Race creature. Otherwise, I would have likely fallen today!"

...

Jiang Ling sat on the ground, gasping for breath.

That burst of lightning just now was too intense, draining all the Supernatural Ability in his body in an instant.

"Jiang Ling, you really killed it!"

Zhao Jinyu and the others were both surprised and delighted, and they also plopped onto the ground, panting heavily.

This night, they had truly walked through the gates of hell!

They looked at Jiang Ling, their eyes filled with brilliance.

This newly enrolled junior was truly terrifying!

On the helicopter.

The teachers kept urging the helicopter pilot to fly faster.

Although they knew that even if they went faster, it might already be too late, they couldn't help but urge him on.

A Ghost Race creature over Rank 30 had controlled an entire town and created countless Living Dead. With Jiang Ling, a newly enrolled freshman, plus Zhao Jinyu and the other four senior students who were over Rank 20, there was no chance of survival no matter how you calculated it.

Let alone Jiang Ling and the others, even for these teachers, wanting to wipe out this Ghost Race creature would take some effort.

"Sigh!"

"Dean Zhao will probably go crazy this time. Such a talented student, just dying like this!"

"This is fate!"

"Throughout history, countless brilliant geniuses have fallen halfway!"

"Therefore, sometimes, for those powerhouses to grow to the pinnacle, it's not just about having super talent, but more importantly, having great Luck!"

"This Jiang Ling might just lack some Luck!"

...

Amidst their constant urging, the helicopter finally arrived at the outskirts of the town.

With the helicopter still several dozen meters from the ground, the teachers couldn't wait and jumped down one by one.

Looking at the pitch-black, silent town, the teachers' hearts sank to the bottom.

Sure enough, it was too late!

If there were still sounds of fighting in the town at this moment, it would mean there were survivors.

But the town was silent now, which meant everything was over!

They stood at the entrance of the town, all in silence!

Just then, a sonic boom suddenly sounded from afar, and a figure was tearing through the air from the distance, moving at an extremely high speed, far exceeding that of the helicopter.

"What the!"

"The running speed actually created a sonic boom!"

"Who is this?"

...

While they were dumbfounded, the figure had already arrived nearby and slammed on the brakes, smashing a crater more than ten meters in diameter into the rocky ground.

The helicopter in the sky was affected by this huge shockwave and nearly crashed, only managing to regain altitude with difficulty.

The teachers were shocked; they waved their hands to clear the dust and smoke from the scene, and upon looking closely, they discovered it was a middle-aged man in pajamas and barefoot.

"Dean Zhao!"

The person who arrived was none other than Zhao Kailai, the Dean of the Weaponry Academy at Magic Capital University.

Zhao Kailai's expression was extremely serious. With a flash of his figure, he emerged from the crater, grabbed one of the teachers by the shoulder, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the situation?"

"Where is my Disciple Jiang Ling?"

The teacher, whose shoulder was nearly crushed by Zhao Kailai, grimaced in pain and then said sadly, "Dean Zhao, please accept my condolences!"

"When we arrived here, everything was already over!"

"They should have... all..."

...

"What?"

Zhao Kailai's eyes widened, and his whole body began to tremble.
