123: Chapter 123 The Forbidden Spell of Concealment Has Been Discovered?

Boom!

Lu Chen brushed aside the rocks and appeared, looking disheveled and covered in dust, before patting the dirt off his body.

"Is it a spatial skill? It doesn't quite look like it. It doesn't look like a Warrior skill either. What exactly is this Wasteland Guardian's class? The power of a single kick actually depleted one percent of my HP."

You have to understand, his defense was nearly 50 million at the peak of Rank 5. To be able to kick away over 300,000 HP with a single blow was enough to demonstrate the opponent's strength.

"Aha, that's a thick health bar. Now I can attack with peace of mind."

As he finished speaking, the Wasteland Guardian took a step, causing a crater to instantly appear on the ground, and his figure rushed toward Lu Chen at a speed invisible to the naked eye.

[Forbidden Spell — Divine Concealment!] Lu Chen activated the stealth Forbidden Spell, disappearing silently without a trace.

Swish!

The Wasteland Guardian appeared where Lu Chen had just been: "Aha, the stealth Forbidden Spell Divine Concealment? Is this kid 9527 an Assassin? A Rank 5 Assassin with over 30 million HP—it feels like I'm facing a Rank 5 World Lord BOSS! This is ridiculously strong!"

The next second.

His pupils rotated 360 degrees, and he inhaled sharply: "There!"

A flash of white light!

A spinning kick with his left leg!

Bang!

Lu Chen took the kick, and his figure was revealed.

Whoosh!

Boom!

Lu Chen was kicked flying again, crashing into and collapsing another hilltop.

"My Divine Concealment has been seen through?"

Lu Chen stood up, a bit bewildered.

He didn't think the opponent had temporarily lifted their Rank suppression to use Insight on his Divine Concealment, because he had been using Insight to keep an eye on them, and their Rank hadn't changed.

Furthermore.

What was absurd was that the opponent's stats weren't particularly exaggerated—they were about the same as Sister Linglong's Legendary class stats—but the feeling they gave Lu Chen was that they were even more formidable than a World Lord BOSS!

If he didn't reveal some of his trump cards, it would probably be hard to take the opponent down.

"How did you see through my stealth skill?"

Lu Chen couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing really, just observing the airflow, ground movements, and footsteps from all directions, then using scent to differentiate and lock onto your approximate location. That's about it."

"..."

Although the opponent made it sound simple, Lu Chen knew how much seasoned combat experience and natural talent were required to see through his Divine Concealment Forbidden Spell.

This big shot codenamed Wasteland Guardian was terrifyingly strong!

"Senior, then I'm going to get serious."

"Serious? Come on, come on, the assessment is meant for getting serious!"

Seeing this, Lu Chen decided not to hold back any longer and released the Eye of the Ringed Heavens, marking the opponent.

Once marked by the Eye of the Ringed Heavens, unless the opponent could escape its coverage area in an instant, they would inevitably be hit by the attack effect!

He didn't believe it.

Could this Wasteland Guardian still dodge?

"Oh my, another incredible Forbidden Spell, [Eye of the Ringed Heavens]. This time it's an Archer Forbidden Spell. Is this kid a dual-class Genius like Ophelia?"

Just as the Skyquake Blast effect of Lu Chen's Eye of the Ringed Heavens erupted.

The Wasteland Guardian vanished from the spot.

A huge crater suddenly appeared where he had been.

The next moment.

His body appeared 50% of the map away, successfully avoiding the attack effect of the Eye of the Ringed Heavens.

"Aha, that was close, I almost got hurt. What a terrifying young man!"

The Wasteland Guardian patted his chest.

Holy cow!

What exactly is this guy's class?

Does he have to be this monstrous?

Is it a talent effect or a skill?

What's going on with his speed?

Do all Rank 9 Legendary big shots have this ability?

This refreshed Lu Chen's understanding of top-tier powerhouses.

Seeing that even the locked-on attack of the Eye of the Ringed Heavens Forbidden Spell couldn't target the opponent, Lu Chen guessed that the two offensive Forbidden Spells, Thunder Punishment World Destroyer and Holy Spear: Oath of the End, probably wouldn't hit the opponent either.

The opponent's speed at instantly escaping the skill's attack range was too unsolvable.

"It seems that apart from the beast pet swarm tactic, there's no other way to win."

Lu Chen thought about it; he figured that once the assessment ended, the opponent would discern his information anyway. Since it would be exposed sooner or later, he might as well expose it voluntarily.

Ice Explosion Ants!

Soul-Devouring Rats!

Flame Falcons!

The three major beast groups were enough to cover 50% of this simulated secret realm map. Combined with the Eye of the Ringed Heavens, as long as the opponent was hit once, they would be finished here.

Beast Pet Summoning!

Hum!

When the three million beast pets appeared, the Wasteland Guardian's pupils shook. He tied up his messy hair and stared intently at the million beast pets Lu Chen had summoned.

The Wasteland Guardian muttered to himself: "Beast pets? This guy is also a Beast Tamer? Three classes? But how can he contract a million beast pets? This doesn't follow the rules!"

In the secret room, Ophelia, who was watching the battle through the screen, was so shocked her jaw hit the floor.

She had thought that with her dual SS Epic class, she was a rare class-changing Genius in the world, but she hadn't expected this 9527 to be a three-class Prodigy!

Three classes were one thing!

But the skills of each class were so Heaven-Defying!

Especially the Beast Tamer class; contracting three million beast pets—what a crazy thing!

"Wait! Three million beast pets, ants, rats, falcons—why do they look so much like the beast pets summoned by Lu Chen from Yunlan City in the Central Region of Great Xia?"

"No way? Could this 9527 be the F-Rank Beast Tamer Lu Chen that the big shots of major global guilds are looking for?"

Ophelia widened her eyes and exclaimed.

Lu Chen is in Linjiang City in the Western Region!

This is too shocking!

How did he manage to cross a region in such a short time?

At this moment,

Lu Chen moved. He ordered the three million beast pets to scatter in all directions, closing in on the Wasteland Guardian like a dragnet!

Just as the Wasteland Guardian was about to be surrounded and attacked, he voluntarily lifted his Rank suppression, restored his Rank 9 status, and then used a Domain shockwave to blast away all the beast pets, appearing in front of Lu Chen as if teleporting.

"Today's brats are becoming more and more of a Prodigy. I won't fight anymore, I won't fight anymore. Never mind being at the same Rank, even if I were two Ranks higher, I probably couldn't beat you. I admit defeat!"

"..."

Lu Chen rolled his eyes and complained internally: "This old slippery fox, he admits defeat as soon as he sees he can't win. Does he have any shame left?!"

Hum!

Since the opponent had admitted defeat, Lu Chen had no choice but to recall his beast pets: "Senior, the fight is over. Can you tell me your purpose now?"

"There's no particular purpose! I just wanted to see what kind of ability you, the kid who broke my record, actually have."

"Now I've seen it. You're a real Prodigy, much more of a Prodigy than me. If you're given more time to grow, it'll be incredible—truly incredible. You'll definitely be invincible in the world. I'm rooting for you, kid!"

"..."

Lu Chen was speechless.

This Senior Wasteland Guardian seemed a bit eccentric.

"Sigh, enough talking. I lost the fight and have no face left to see anyone. I'm off!"

"Senior, aren't you curious about my true identity?"

Seeing that the other party didn't seem to intend to use Insight on his information, Lu Chen was puzzled.

Logically speaking,

he had already summoned the three major beast pets.

As a Rank 9 Legendary big shot, shouldn't the opponent be able to guess his identity and try to recruit him?

Why did it seem like the opponent didn't know him at all?

"Identity? What identity? Is that important? Keep working hard on your growth, kid 9527!"

Having said that, the Wasteland Guardian left the simulated secret realm, leaving Lu Chen bewildered.

Fine!

I was overthinking it.

It seems there are still some pure-hearted high-level class-changers in this world!

Thinking this, Lu Chen left the simulated secret realm, completing his promotion to a six-star Hunter.

After Lu Chen left, the Wasteland Guardian's figure reappeared, and Ophelia knelt on one knee in a special gesture to salute.

"Delete the battle records. There is no need to report everything that happened here to the Hunter Headquarters. If your superiors ask, just say that I said so!"

"Yes!"
