49: All talents above grade B are wasted here.

The moment the Castle gate completely closed,

the huge Castle immediately became dim.

Fine dust floated in the air, filled with a strong smell of decay.

Su Yan narrowed his eyes, instantly understanding what Jiang Yao intended to do.

The Rank 25 Black Wolf BOSS,

according to the settings,

once combat began, the Castle gate, the only entrance and exit, would become impossible to open again.

Unless its ten-million-level HP was depleted.

In other words, once the battle started,

if Jiang Yao wanted to attack them, they wouldn't be able to escape even if they tried!

"What a move, catching turtles in a jar... or rather, beating the tiger after closing the door!"

Su Yan sneered inwardly.

It was clear that

Jiang Yao had put in some effort to choose the Black Wolf BOSS for this Practical Exercise.

Roar!

Deep within the Castle, a fierce wolf howl suddenly echoed.

The sound seemed to come from underground, yet also seemed omnipresent, tearing at everyone's eardrums.

Adrenaline surged rapidly!

Some students started getting nervous, constantly swallowing saliva and anxiously darting their eyes around.

A small-scale commotion broke out among the crowd.

Jiang Yao strode at the very front, his face shrouded in shadow, urging them on:

"Don't waste time, you only have two hours. Let's go."

At that moment,

with Jiang Yao, a Rank 160 expert, backing them up, the students finally let go of their nervousness and fear.

They quickly followed behind Jiang Yao, filing into the direction of the Great Hall... Inside the Castle,

in the ridiculously spacious Great Hall.

A dark-skinned, densely furred, One-Eyed Werewolf was restrained by four arm-thick chains locking its limbs.

Roar!

The Black Wolf constantly struggled against the chains, roaring fiercely at the Human Race Players entering the hall.

The students instantly turned pale with fright.

They had previously only fought in the Novice Village; where had they ever encountered such a behemoth?

Now facing the fierce and massive Black Wolf up close, their legs started trembling.

Only Su Yan and Jiang Yao remained composed throughout the entire scene.

Jiang Yao stepped out from the crowd and said loudly:

"Are you all ready? Remember, although this is a drill, you only get one chance.

Specific teachings on combat techniques and Skill Release details

I will explain in real-time during this BOSS battle."

"Alright, let's begin!"

As Jiang Yao waved his hand.

All the students quickly spread out into Formation.

Priests and Mages waved their staffs, and amidst their chanting, beams of radiance fell upon the crowd.

Applying various Beneficial Buffs and blessings to the team.

Then, the Knights took the lead, cautiously approaching the Black Wolf.

At the same time, waves of whispers arose.

"This Black Wolf BOSS looks so fierce. Can we kill it within two hours?"

"I don't know, who cares? Just do it! Anyway, this isn't reality; we can resurrect if we die, so what's there to be afraid of?"

"Did you guys forget? We're not the same as before. With Brother Yan here, we can definitely kill it."

"Wait, where is Brother Yan?"

The students subconsciously looked for Su Yan's location.

But the next moment,

everyone was horrified to discover that Su Yan had already run right up in front of the Black Wolf!

"Su Yan, what are you doing? Come back quickly!"

Tang Xia was stunned and cried out involuntarily.

Just moments ago, Su Yan had been beside her, warning her not to run around,

yet in the blink of an eye, he had run right next to the BOSS?

"...Human... Race... ant, seeking... death!"

In the Castle Great Hall,

the Black Wolf struggled fiercely against the chains, uttering these indistinct syllables from its throat.

Under everyone's surprised gaze, Su Yan drew the raging waves Greatsword from his back with a clang.

"What is he doing? Could he be trying to solo the BOSS?"

Not far away, when Jiang Yao saw this scene,

he was first confused, then his eyes showed ridicule.

In his opinion,

although Su Yan was Rank 28, trying to solo a Rank 25 BOSS was simply dreaming.

Not even S-rank Combat Talent could manage it!

Jiang Yao's expression shifted.

He didn't want Su Yan to die just like that and be resurrected and teleported back to Asura City.

If that happened, how would he carry out his plan?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao was about to speak up to stop him.

However, right at this moment,

Su Yan suddenly made his move!

Bang!

The raging waves Greatsword slashed the Black Wolf's knee!

Critical Hit!

-999!

A bright red damage number popped up.

With this one slash, 4% of the Black Wolf's HP Bar vanished instantly!

The Black Wolf cried out in pain, let loose a deafening roar, and instantly entered a Berserk State.

With a crash, the chains snapped and broke, and two sharp claws smashed down towards Su Yan's head.

The BOSS battle officially began!

At this moment, everyone was stunned in place, forgetting what they were there for.

Shock, horror... it wasn't because Su Yan actually dared to solo the BOSS.

Rather, the damage from that previous Normal Attack redefined their understanding of damage output.

"Hiss, Brother Yan must be hacking, right? 999 damage with one sword?"

"He's too strong. S-rank Combat Talent truly doesn't treat the BOSS as a big deal. We feel a bit redundant."

"It's more than just S-Rank Talent! Brother Yan's Weapon must also be high-grade, at least S-Rank!"

"Holy cow, wielding an S-Rank Weapon at Rank 20? I'm so jealous, so jealous!"

Discussions poured in one after another.

Jiang Yao's expression was volatile, changing unpredictably. By some strange impulse, he stopped his attempt to intervene.

He wanted to see where the limit of S-rank Combat Talent truly lay.

But after watching for ten seconds or so,

he noticed that while Su Yan dodged the Black Wolf's attacks, he was constantly using Normal Attacks.

"Su Yan, don't you have skills? Why aren't you using any skills?"

Jiang Yao looked like he was watching an idiot.

Su Yan, who was currently soloing the BOSS,

flashed backward with a leap, deftly avoiding the Black Wolf's fatal blow.

Hearing the question, he curled his lips and chuckled mockingly:

"If I released my skills, you wouldn't have a chance."

"?

Jiang Yao was confused.

What chance?

Speak human language, understand?

Su Yan, however, did not explain.

For him, this Black Wolf BOSS definitely had to be killed.

After all, he certainly wouldn't miss a chance to fleece the school.

But Su Yan was also very clear in his heart:

killing the BOSS had to be fast, otherwise, if a messy fight broke out,

if Jiang Yao suddenly made a move, these students would definitely suffer.

He wouldn't give Jiang Yao any opportunity!

Therefore, Su Yan hesitated no longer and immediately cast a skill!

...At this moment, the raging waves in Su Yan's hand,

its blade suddenly burst into Raging Flames, pointing straight towards the sky!

The Ice Element and the Fire Element rapidly intertwined.

In an instant,

the Big Dipper appeared above the Great Hall. The starlight was deep blue, yet it was burning with terrifying Raging Flames.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The next moment, the Star-Fire smashed down like meteorites.

Continuously bombarding the Black Wolf's massive black body.

-3565!

-3648!

Critical Hit!

-8152!

...A total of seven damage numbers popped up almost simultaneously within the Sea of Fire.

The Black Wolf was instantly engulfed by the Star-Fire, and before it could even utter a sound, it was wiped out into ashes!

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!"

All the students behind him widened their eyes and collectively gasped.

The BOSS was just gone... Can we even play this game?

In the crowd, Tang Xia covered her mouth, her expression trembling.

Her eyes were filled entirely with the handsome silhouette of Su Yan standing before the Sea of Fire.

Not far away, Jiang Yao's face was livid.

He immediately recognized this as the terrifying skill Xiao Panxue had used yesterday in the park.

His emotions became somewhat uncontrollable, and he questioned:

"Impossible! How can you use this skill too?!"

Su Yan turned around, looking at Jiang Yao with mock pity, and sneered:

"Why can't I? As Xiao Panxue's boyfriend, is there a problem if I know this skill?"

Jiang Yao suffered tons of True Damage!

And all of this before his eyes

completely messed up Jiang Yao's plan.

He never expected the Black Wolf BOSS to be annihilated by Su Yan just like that.

The condition he had planned—using the BOSS to create an accident—was no longer valid.

In this case, the school experts would soon come in to finalize the results... "Senior Jiang Yao, the BOSS is dead now. Is this Practical Exercise considered over?"

At this time, a student asked, still wanting more action.

Jiang Yao's cheeks twitched, and the aura around him began to turn dangerous.

His face became increasingly hideous and terrifying. He suddenly drew his Greatsword from his back and said coldly:

"No, it's not over yet!"

"Today, all Talents above B-Rank must be crippled here!"

...At this declaration,

the students were all greatly alarmed!
