48: Chapter 48 The Candle Dragon Opens Its Eyes, the Earth Shakes!

After the sixth wave was finished, the monster strength rose sharply.

It was a cliff-like gap in strength.

"Ding! The seventh wave of enemy attacks is ready..."

"Countdown to attack: ten, nine, eight..."

Accompanied by the emotionless electronic voice of the simulation pod, Lin Feng's eyes were calm as he prepared for battle.

He had already figured out the details of the first six waves at Tang You's house a few days ago; he could fight them with his eyes closed.

But as for what the seventh wave was actually like, no one on the entire network had ever seen it.

Just how difficult it would be, would soon become clear.

The countdown hit zero.

A suffocating, heavy pressure descended out of thin air upon the Chaos Territory.

"It's here!"

Lin Feng held his breath.

He saw the spatial barrier in the southwest corner of the territory being torn open by brute force, creating a huge gap.

A vast, sweeping tide of invaders surged in like a burst dam!

With a rough glance, the number of monsters had definitely broken the ten-million mark!

They were a dark, dense mass that completely covered the ground.

A few seconds later, the simulation system provided precise enemy intelligence.

[Tier 1 Fodder: 10,327,000]

[Tier 2 Elites: 2,370,000]

[Tier 3 Lords: 677]

[Tier 4 Leaders: 10]

Looking at the outrageous data scrolling on the screen.

Even with Lin Feng's strong composure, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

A full ten Tier 4 Leaders!

Is this the true value of the seventh wave?

You have to know.

A few days ago at the Ten-School Joint Exam, Ye Chen, the peerless genius touted as a once-in-a-century talent at City No.1 High School, had exhausted his entire family's resources just to barely scrape together two Tier 4 creatures.

If Ye Chen were the one defending against this seventh wave, he would probably be pounded into meat paste in an instant.

To be precise.

In the face of such an outrageous sea of monsters, anyone other than Lin Feng would be hung up and beaten if they were on the field.

Even if the deans of each high school stepped in, they would likely meet their end.

The holographic screen broadcast the footage of the ten-million-strong army in real-time.

All the spectators simultaneously gasped in shock.

Is this really an exam paper prepared for high school seniors?

What's with the ten Tier 4 Leaders? Is the system bugged?

It wasn't just the candidates in Xinghai City who were stunned.

Through the live broadcast across the entire network.

Millions of fresh graduates across the entire Great Xia Alliance were stunned to the point of numbness.

Using Lin Feng's perspective, everyone witnessed the true face of the seventh wave for the very first time.

Could this candidate from Xinghai City really withstand this level of impact?

...

The simulation pod had absolute soundproofing.

Lin Feng was completely unaware of the noise and shock from the outside world.

Right now, he had to organize a defense immediately.

The ten-million-strong army had already crossed into the depths of the territory.

The Tier 1 and 2 cannon fodder were nothing to fear; the real threats were the mutated Lords of Tier 3 and above.

These high-tier monsters were the daggers aimed at the heart.

"Phoenix, continue clearing the field!"

Out of caution, Lin Feng still only sent the divine bird into battle.

"As you command, Master!"

The Phoenix soared from the rolling magma of the Flame Volcano, circled twice in mid-air, and transformed into a crimson meteor crashing into the sea of monsters.

The Samadhi True Fire poured down, instantly burning the low-tier cannon fodder to ashes.

Even Tier 3 Lords couldn't survive for more than a few seconds in the purgatory of fire.

Only the ten Tier 4 Leaders rushing at the very front had the capital to go head-to-head with the Phoenix.

One-on-one, the Phoenix could win with its eyes closed.

But ten-on-one, it was ultimately a bit strenuous.

These ten leaders had extremely clear divisions of labor.

There were tanks holding giant ice shields at the front, mages responsible for long-range output, and supports hiding in the back row crazily casting buffs.

Their coordination was seamless.

The simulation system judged Lin Feng's combat power as heaven-defying and directly cranked the AI difficulty to the highest level; even the monsters knew how to perform tactical maneuvers.

Under the seamless coordination of the ten leaders.

The Phoenix was actually faintly falling into a disadvantage during the entanglement.

No wonder no one in the entire alliance had been able to pass the seventh wave in decades.

This kind of abnormal intensity was not something a normal high school student could ever contend with!

Watching the intense battle situation on the screen.

All the candidates outside didn't even dare to breathe, and the entire municipal square was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

It was as if it wasn't Lin Feng fighting for his life in the pod, but themselves.

Just when everyone was sweating for Lin Feng.

Principal Qin, on the other hand, was excitedly rubbing his hands together, his eyes shining.

The old man knew very well that Lin Feng still had an ancient giant beast in his hand capable of swallowing the sky and devouring the earth!

Once that trump card was played, the seventh wave would definitely be passed!

The historical record would be broken today!

If it weren't for the fact that it was so quiet around him, Principal Qin would have even wanted to jump onto the table and shout a few times to let it all out.

...

Inside the Chaos Territory.

The Phoenix and the ten Tier 4 Leaders had been fighting for a long time, and it was still a draw.

Both sides were going back and forth, stuck in a stalemate.

It seemed that relying solely on the Phoenix was indeed not enough to chew through the hard bone of the seventh wave.

Lin Feng sighed.

"Zhulong, it's time for you to stretch your muscles."

"Assist the Phoenix and kill all the enemy troops!"

A huge, blurry face hung in the sky as Lin Feng issued his divine decree in a calm tone.

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Deep within a pitch-black spiritual vein, two blinding red lights suddenly lit up.

It was none other than the Zhulong opening its eyes!

Immediately after, a crimson giant dragon, tens of thousands of meters long, burst out of the ground and soared straight into the clouds.

As the giant dragon took to the sky, the earth shook instantly, and rolling stones flew everywhere.

The moment the Zhulong appeared.

The hundreds of thousands of spectators outside were thrown into a frenzy once again.

"My god! What kind of monster is this now?"

"A dragon! It's a divine dragon!"

"That's not right! The Starry Sky Divine Dragon is clearly cyan, so how is this a red dragon!"

The municipal square was in an uproar.

How could a commoner student possibly get their hands on a pure-blood divine dragon?

Not to mention that the color didn't match at all.

Not only were the students dumbfounded.

Principal Qin was also stunned.

The principals of the other key high schools also looked at each other in dismay.

What on earth is this god-tier breed?

Principal Qin would bet his head on the fact that when he watched the holographic projection in the office last time, there was absolutely no such red dragon in Lin Feng's territory!

In just over two months, what kind of miraculous encounter had this kid experienced?

At the municipal building, on the high platform.

"A divine dragon?"

Mayor Zhao Tingfeng frowned tightly, "The body shape is indeed similar, but the color and aura are completely wrong."

"General Yan, you are well-informed in the military; do you recognize this ferocious beast?"

Mayor Zhao Tingfeng turned his head to look at General Yan Xiao beside him.

General Yan Xiao had been stationed at the Outer Realm Battlefield for years and had a far greater understanding of various Starry Sky giant beasts than the average person.

But at this very moment, this military bigwig's eyes were also filled with confusion.

He stared intently at the crimson Zhulong on the screen, frantically searching his mind for relevant illustrated guides.

After a long while, he had gained nothing.

"Judging by its appearance, it is definitely not a Starry Sky Divine Dragon," General Yan Xiao said in a deep voice.

"But... the pressure emitted by this red dragon is even more terrifying than that of a pure-blood divine dragon!"

"Even more terrifying?!"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Not only was Mayor Zhao Tingfeng stunned, but Supervisor Xue, the special envoy from the Imperial Capital who had been acting sarcastically, also nearly bit his tongue.

The Starry Sky Divine Dragon was the highest totem of the Great Xia Alliance, and its invincibility at the same rank was an ironclad rule recognized by the entire alliance.

General Yan Xiao had actually asserted that this unknown red dragon had an aura even more formidable than the totem!

"How is this possible?!"

Supervisor Xue shouted out involuntarily.
