123: Chapter 123 Miracle - Ascension, an Epic Enhancement!

Above the open ground, the smell of smoke and blood gradually dissipated.

The students watched as the resurrected Commander Sun calmly walked over with a medical team, their eyes widening one by one.

Beyond the astonishment, there was even more lingering fear after a sudden realization.

"Holy crap... Commander Sun resurrected?"

"There's no such thing as resurrection magic! That must have been a substitute or an illusion!"

"I get it now! That just now was definitely a test!"

"A test that uses real beasts directly? This Commander Sun is too ruthless! If it weren't for those few big shots stepping in, we would have been done for just now!"

"Sigh, what a pity. I was too scared just now and didn't perform well. If only I had another chance..."

"Showing off again? In that scene just now, who was hiding behind me, acting cowardly like a quail, and stuttering while talking?"

"Th-that was my first time seeing a beast, it was an instinctive reaction, an instinctive reaction..."

There was whispering in the crowd. Although they were still making excuses, everyone's gaze toward the four members of the Nirvana Battle Team was filled with unconcealable awe.

The strong are respected everywhere.

At this moment, Chen Xi, who was the focus of everyone's attention, stood motionless, his lips even curling slightly upward, revealing an unfathomable smile.

Chen Xi was currently checking the system notification he had just received.

After killing the 10 Hellhounds just now.

He received a massive amount of experience points.

【Ding! Your level has increased to Lv.20!】

【System Notification: Detected that the host's level has broken through Lv.20, the class characteristics have undergone a qualitative change!】

【Learned talent — Miracle: Sublimation!】

Chen Xi was currently studying this new passive talent.

【Miracle: Sublimation】: Capable of evolving all class core cards and one's own talents, allowing their quality and abilities to break through original limits. Currently upgradable talent: Myriad Rivers Return to the Sea.

(Where the miracle reaches, all things sublimate. Break the rules, reshape the truth.)

"The fewer the words, the stronger the ability!"

Chen Xi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the ecstasy in his heart.

What did the appearance of this skill mean?

It meant that the two S-rank class core cards previously crafted for Li Murou and Su Xiaoxiao were no longer the end, but the beginning!

They could become even stronger, breaking through the S-rank.

Reaching SS-rank or even SSS-rank!

More importantly—

His own core talent, 【Myriad Rivers Return to the Sea】, could also be upgraded!

The current 【Myriad Rivers Return to the Sea】 only allowed him to receive 100% attribute feedback from his teammates.

If it upgraded again... would it become 150%? 200%?

Or even exponential growth?

Another wave of epic enhancement!

Chen Xi glanced at his three teammates beside him, as if looking at three gold mines waiting to be developed.

As long as he equipped Ye Fei with a class core card as well, and then used 【Miracle: Sublimation】 to strengthen everyone...

The scene was too beautiful; I dare not look.

The surrounding students looked at Chen Xi's expressionless face, which even seemed a bit amused, and began a new round of wild speculation:

"Did you see that? This is the aura of a big shot! Unmoved even if Mount Tai collapses before one's eyes!"

"I didn't expect this team to be so fierce. The beasts that even the Greedy Wolf Team couldn't defeat were instantly killed by the four of them, and they even saved the people from Greedy Wolf along the way."

"To be accurate, only the one playing the instrument and the one casting lightning attacked. That red-haired one and this male captain haven't even made a move yet!"

"Hiss... They're this steady without even making a move? That means they have even more terrifying trump cards!"

"No wonder they dared to challenge Greedy Wolf just now. They really had the confidence! This time, Jiangcheng is going to take off!"

As for Jin Tong and the others from the Greedy Wolf Team, they were currently surrounded by medical personnel treating their wounds.

Listening to the praise and evaluation of the Nirvana Battle Team from the people around them, they lowered their heads, unable to say a word.

Powerless to refute.

Completely convinced.

In the face of absolute strength, any arrogance is just a clown's performance.

Jin Tong glanced at Chen Xi. The arrogance in his eyes was gone, replaced only by deep wariness.

Commander Sun walked over slowly with his hands behind his back.

He lowered his head and glanced at the pile of beast corpses on the ground that could no longer be recognized, his eyes twitching slightly.

"Did you two kill all of these?"

Commander Sun looked at Su Xiaoxiao and Li Murou, his tone carrying a hint of praise and a hint of scrutiny.

The two women did not answer but, with great tacit understanding, turned their heads simultaneously and cast their gazes toward Chen Xi, who was standing in the middle.

Commander Sun raised an eyebrow and followed suit, turning his head to look at Chen Xi:

"You are the captain?"

Chen Xi nodded:

"Yes, Commander Sun. We are the Nirvana Battle Team from Jiangcheng Professional University."

"Jiangcheng..."

Commander Sun muttered this name and took a deep look at Chen Xi:

"Not bad. I didn't expect such a peaceful place to produce geniuses like you. It really exceeded my expectations."

Afterward, Commander Sun said no more.

He turned around and strode to a high platform in the center of the open ground, his gaze sweeping over the thirty-nine students present like a blade.

"That's right!"

Commander Sun's voice instantly raised an octave:

"I presume many of you have already guessed it! The attack just now was an entrance trial for all of you!"

"But this is also a wake-up call I've sounded for everyone!"

Commander Sun pointed at the bloodstains and corpse fragments on the ground, his voice stern:

"You might have only seen monsters like that in books or illustrated guides. But in daily life, you have never truly faced them!"

"Those things are beasts from Outside the Border!"

"The 10 just now were caught by me with great effort. You must have seen with your own eyes the violence, bloodthirst, and lack of reason of the beasts! They are not on the same level as the monsters you grind in school dungeons that have been castrated by rules!"

"It was just these ten little dogs that beat you, a group of self-proclaimed top freshmen from various cities, until you were pissing your pants! With absolutely no power to fight back!"

Commander Sun mercilessly ripped away the last fig leaf of the crowd:

"If it weren't for a few true geniuses stepping in at the critical moment..."

Speaking of which, Commander Sun looked pointedly in Chen Xi's direction:

"I estimate that today, every one of you would be missing an arm or a leg! Or even lose your lives here!"

Hearing this, the students below looked at each other.

One by one, they silently lowered their heads, not daring to refute.

Because that was the truth.

Commander Sun took a deep breath, his tone becoming even heavier:

"But I want to tell you a more cruel fact."

"Situations like that beast suddenly charging at you are already happening constantly in every corner of my eight southern cities!"

"And compared to you Professionals who have skills and equipment, the ordinary civilians in the city have even less ability to fight back! So every time they encounter a beast attack, their casualties are even heavier! That is truly a river of blood!"

"Don't blame me for being heartless!"
