221: Chapter 221 Holographic Simulation Training? Perfect clear with basic attacks!

Inside the holographic simulation training field, the light shifted abruptly.

The silver-white hall, originally full of a high-tech feel, instantly faded away, replaced by a gloomy and eerie decaying forest. The air was filled with a pungent mix of sulfur and blood. Twisted, monstrous trees bared their fangs and brandished claws, and the ground was dark red mud.

Hum!

Space fluctuated, and dense swarms of Invading Monsters, with various forms, emerged from the Void Realm in all directions like a tide.

There were skeleton warriors covered in bone armor brandishing rusted blades and axes, wraiths floating in mid-air emitting piercing screeches, and giant worms crawling on the ground with corrosive mucus dripping from their mouthparts...

They roared, exuding violent auras, and instantly engulfed Lu Chen, who stood alone in the field. It was as if Lu Chen had truly arrived inside a secret realm map.

Outside the field, Great Elder Long Bayun, Long Aojiao, and several high-level officials from Longxia University kept their eyes fixed on the light screen inside.

Long Aojiao curled the corner of her mouth in anticipation of a good show: "This 'Decaying Forest' scenario simulates a six-star difficulty secret realm. Although the individual strength of the emerging Invading Monsters is not high, their numbers are massive, enough to make an ordinary Tier 7 professional scramble."

However, the next scene made everyone's pupils shrink.

Facing the surging monster tide, Lu Chen didn't even adopt a combat stance.

He didn't summon that legendary army of millions of beast pets, nor did he cast any dazzling Forbidden Spell; he simply raised his hand casually and grasped the air.

A spear, dark gold throughout and entwined with scarlet patterns, appeared out of thin air in his hand—the god-slaying spear!

Then, he moved.

There was no flashy spear technique, no earth-shattering momentum.

He just simply took a step forward.

Boom!

His figure was like a ghost, charging directly into the densest part of the monster tide.

Then, he flicked his wrist, using only basic attacks.

Pfft! Swish! Bang!

The spear shadows were like shuttles, yet incredibly simple to the extreme.

Every time the spear thrust out, an Invading Monster's head exploded or its body disintegrated!

The skeleton warriors' hard bone armor was like paper, the wraiths' intangible spiritual bodies were torn apart directly, and the giant worms were pierced by the spear, exploding into a sky full of foul-smelling mucus.

He was like a precise and efficient killing machine, strolling leisurely through the monster tide. Wherever he passed, the Invading Monsters fell in droves like mown wheat. No monster could force him to strike a second time, nor could they even make his footsteps pause for a moment.

This was power suppression in its purest form!

Not long after.

All the simulated Invading Monsters were wiped out. In the center of the field, Lu Chen stood holding his spear, his clothes fluttering, spotless.

The whole place was dead silent.

Only the cold prompt sound of the System rang out: "Six-star difficulty simulation, cleared! Rating: 100 points!"

"This... this is it?"

A university Prodigy muttered to himself, his face full of disbelief.

A look of solemnity appeared on Long Aojiao's bright face for the first time. She bit her lower lip and said unconvinced: "It's just relying on attribute suppression!"

She turned to look at Great Elder Long Bayun, lowering her voice, carrying undisguised suspicion: "Grandpa, what exactly is his profession? What is his Rank? Why does my Insight only return a bunch of question marks?"

Great Elder Long Bayun also had a bitter smile on his face. He shook his head, his voice dry: "Don't even talk about you, girl, even I... cannot see through him."

He paused, and amidst the shocked gazes of his granddaughter and several colleagues, he slowly revealed an answer that left them even more dumbfounded:

"However, what is certain is that he is Tier 8, and his profession is... Beast Tamer! Profession Rank: F!"

"What?"

"An F-Rank Beast Tamer? Tier 8?"

"Are you kidding me! Isn't the Beast Tamer recognized as a Trash profession? How can someone so young reach Tier 8?"

The surrounding Longxia Prodigies were instantly in an uproar, feeling their worldview had received an unprecedented impact.

Long Aojiao shook her head like a rattle: "I don't believe it! Can an F-Rank Beast Tamer have this kind of strength? Grandpa, activate the highest eight-star mode! I want to see if he really possesses Tier 8 combat capability!"

Great Elder Long Bayun took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with sharp light. He also wanted to use this opportunity to force out more of Lu Chen's trump cards.

He nodded slightly to the instructor in charge.

The instructor's expression was solemn, his hands moving rapidly on the control console, pushing the energy output to the maximum.

Hum!!

The entire training field emitted a low roar, the runes on the surrounding walls flickering with unprecedented brightness, and the energy fluctuations caused the space to become slightly distorted.

The next second, the scene before Lu Chen changed drastically again.

The Decaying Forest disappeared, replaced by an endless scorching desert, with the scorching sun in the sky and yellow sand filling the air.

"Roar!"

The dunes rolled, and huge Tier 8 sand monsters, composed of quicksand and hard rock, roared as they crawled out. The aura exuded by each of them far exceeded the previous cannon fodder, enough to pose a threat to ordinary Tier 8 professionals.

However,

Lu Chen's reaction was no different from before.

He still didn't summon any beast pets, didn't use any skills, and as his figure swayed, the god-slaying spear turned into a deadly dark golden stream of light.

Pfft!

With one strike, he pierced the heart of a sand monster, and its huge rock body instantly collapsed, dissipating into pure energy data.

Boom!

With a backhand sweep, another sand monster pouncing from the side was smashed in half.

He was like a grim reaper in the desert, every move concise and efficient, precisely reaping "lives."

In front of him, the Tier 8 sand monsters seemed to have no essential difference from the previous simulated Invading Monsters; they were all killed in one strike.

Soon!

The desert returned to calm, leaving only the remnants of countless sand monsters dissipating.

The System prompt sounded again: "Eight-star difficulty simulation, cleared! Rating: 100 points!"

Lu Chen put away the god-slaying spear, as if he had just done a trivial thing. He looked up, his gaze piercing through the simulation scene, and landed accurately on Great Elder Long Bayun outside the field, his tone carrying a trace of lingering detachment:

"Senior Long, is there anything more powerful?"

"..."

Outside the field, Long Aojiao and the others collectively lost their voices, as if they had been strangled by the throat, their faces full of bewilderment and shock.

Great Elder Long Bayun's old face twitched, suppressing the raging waves in his heart, and he said in a deep voice:

"This holographic simulation training field is built by combining barrier techniques, special Advanced props, and cutting-edge projection technology. Every time it is activated, especially at high star levels, the consumption is huge, requiring a large amount of beast crystals and other resources to maintain. Limited by the level of the props, we can only simulate up to eight-star difficulty."

Lu Chen heard this, and a flash of realization crossed his eyes.

So that's how it is.

No wonder the Dragon Radiance Guild could cultivate so many experts, with an overall strength surpassing the three major Nine-Star Guilds of the outside world.

This holographic simulation training field is simply a perfect trial field tailored for professionals!

It can perfectly simulate various secret realm environments and Invading Monsters, allowing professionals to accumulate experience in near-real combat, yet it can be manually intervened at critical moments to avoid unnecessary casualties.

With this kind of pre-training, going to conquer real secret realms would naturally yield twice the result with half the effort, and efficiency would be multiplied.

This technology must be mastered!

Lu Chen quietly purchased a legendary replica prop from the Golden Mall. At the same time, deep in his eyes, a faint golden light flashed—the Forbidden Spell [Eye of the Ringed Heavens] had been activated.

Every subtle structure, energy flow path, rune combination, and technological integration in the training field... all the mysteries were instantly perceived and analyzed by him like a data torrent, and perfectly replicated through the replica prop in his hand.

After going back, he only needed to have his parents arrange relevant talents to follow the pattern, and he would be able to reproduce this technology in the four borders of Daxia!

Just as Lu Chen was calculating in his heart,

A scorching Battle Intent rose like a flame, locking onto him!
