64: Chapter 64 The strongest lightning power? (Laughs)

Teleportation.

For a mage who could once only output damage while standing still, this was a qualitative leap from hell to heaven!

Meanwhile, in the canyon below.

"Ahhh—!!!"

The sound waves rampaging wildly within the canyon had completely lost control.

"Buzz—!"

The properties of the Echo Gobi were pushed to the extreme. The sound waves ricocheted madly between the narrow rock walls.

Every time they struck the rock walls, more echoes split off, causing secondary, tertiary, and even further overlapping judgments!

Lei Zhen, Li Shan, and the others, having already taken a wave of slow effects, now had reaction speeds that had completely slowed down.

There was simply no way to dodge those ricocheting sound waves in the valley.

One layer of slow, two layers of sluggishness, three layers of Freeze...

Less than three seconds had passed.

The canyon, which had been filled with clamorous battle cries, instantly became deathly silent.

The dozen or so Professionals who had been so aggressive just moments ago were now all frozen in various strange poses.

Some were raising their swords to strike, others were roaring with their mouths wide open; all of them were completely frozen in place.

They were like a group of lifelike ice sculptures, their eyes filled with terror and despair.

Yet they couldn't move a single finger.

Chen Xi stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the scene from above, a cold sneer curling the corner of his mouth.

"A bunch of idiots."

Meanwhile, Zhou Tianren, who was standing on the outskirts of the canyon and had luckily escaped the disaster, was now looking up, staring blankly at Chen Xi and the other two who had suddenly appeared on the cliff.

His mouth was wide open, his eyes were bulging, and his arrogant face was now filled with shock and disbelief.

"This... how is this possible?!"

Zhou Tianren pointed at Su Xiaoxiao, his voice becoming sharp and shrill due to extreme shock:

"Xiao Xiao! You... you can teleport?!"

"You're only a First-Year University Student! How could you possibly know such a spatial displacement skill?!"

He didn't understand! He couldn't understand it at all!

What kind of monsters were this Nirvana Battle Team?

It was one thing that there was a zither player who could use group Freeze Time.

Now, even Su Xiaoxiao, who had always been considered a stationary turret, could actually teleport too?!

How was this supposed to be fought?!

Chen Xi coldly watched Zhou Tianren's dejected appearance and spoke indifferently:

"I said it just now."

"I gave you a chance to get lost, but you didn't cherish it."

"Now..."

Chen Xi's eyes narrowed, his tone grim:

"There's no chance left."

Hearing this, Zhou Tianren snapped back to reality.

He glanced at the three teams of Professionals trapped in the canyon, unable to move and completely wiped out, his expression becoming extremely ugly.

"Tch..."

Zhou Tianren subconsciously gripped the heavy long-handled blade in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force.

He looked up at Chen Xi, gritting his teeth, the shock in his eyes gradually replaced by a sinister madness:

"Chen Xi, don't get cocky too early!"

"Do you really think that just because you used that woman's teleportation to get up there and used the terrain to trap those pieces of trash, you've won?"

Zhou Tianren took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down, a cruel sneer appearing on his face:

"Xiao Xiao is indeed very strong, stronger than I expected."

"But!"

"No matter how strong she is, she's just a First-Year University Student who has been enrolled for less than two months!"

Speaking of this, Zhou Tianren's tone carried a hint of condescending superiority:

"In this world's Professional system, First-Year University Students... even if they are S-rank, are just babies who have just learned to walk!"

"The first year belongs to the first year of initial awakening; the main task is to adapt to the profession and learn skills. All physical functions are limited by the shackles that haven't been broken through yet."

"And by the end of the first year, passing the assessment to enter the second year... that is the watershed of one's Professional career—[Professional Breakthrough]!"

As Zhou Tianren spoke, he took a step back, clearing the position behind him:

"The difference between the first year and the second year can be said to be the difference between heaven and earth!"

"Second-year students have completed their Professional Breakthrough, and all their attributes will see comprehensive growth, and they might even comprehend new talent skills!"

"Plus a full year of proficiency accumulation with the awakened profession... to a First-Year University Student, a second-year Professional is a god capable of dimensionality-reducing strikes!"

Chen Xi raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Zhou Tianren's confident demeanor, and said indifferently:

"Are you done? So what?"

"Are you trying to say you were held back a year?"

"Shut up!"

Zhou Tianren snorted coldly and turned to look at the mysterious Black-Robed Man who had been standing silently behind him, a ferocious, wild laugh appearing on his face:

"Do you really think I was only relying on this bunch of trash in front of me?"

"Let me tell you, I haven't even brought out my trump card yet!"

"Do it!"

Following Zhou Tianren's order.

The Black-Robed Man, who was wrapped up tightly and had had no presence until now, slowly took a step forward.

"Whoosh!"

He reached out abruptly, tore off the large black cloak on his body, and threw it fiercely into the sky.

Underneath the cloak was a thin, pale young man.

He was wearing a robe covered in strange runes, his hands forming a weird hand seal, murmuring words under his breath.

Immediately after, an astonishing scene occurred.

"Ugh..."

The young man's body suddenly trembled violently, as if he were enduring immense pain. His bones made "crack, crack" sounds, and his originally unremarkable facial features began to twist, shift, and rearrange!

In just a few short seconds.

The man's face had actually turned into that of a woman!

It was a cold, extremely stern, and arrogant female face.

Within her eyes, two clusters of leaping cyan lightning constantly exuded powerful pressure.

"Rumble—!"

With the appearance of this face, a thunderclap suddenly sounded out of thin air above the previously clear Gobi!

An incredibly terrifying aura of lightning erupted from this person, instantly sweeping across the entire area!

Zhou Tianren stood behind "her," his face full of smugness and arrogance:

"Let me introduce our new teammate, who is an extremely rare hidden profession—[Spirit Caller]!"

"I have already made him pay a huge price to summon the strongest second-year lightning mage—Senior Sister Ji Qing to possess him!!"

"Ji Qing! This is a terrifying existence who is in the top three of the second-year combat power rankings and is known as the 'Lightning Queen'!"

"She controls the strongest lightning power in the entire school! Whether it's skill power or casting speed, it far exceeds you bunch of First-Year University Students!"

"In front of her absolute power, that zither-playing girl of yours, and Su Xiaoxiao... are completely useless!!"

"Kill him for me!!"

Following Zhou Tianren's roar.

The "possessed" Black-Robed Man—or rather, Ji Qing at this moment—slowly raised her head.

Her eyes, flashing with lightning, stared fixedly at Chen Xi on the cliff, her face devoid of any expression.

"Zzzzt..."

She slowly raised her right hand.

In the palm of her hand, a cyan lightning ball, compressed to the extreme and exuding an aura of destruction, formed instantly.

The surrounding air distorted because it couldn't withstand this high heat.

A cold, hoarse female voice came from the man's throat:

"Sorry."

"I am also here at someone's request."

"As a senior, bullying you First-Year University Students is indeed a bit of an unfair victory."

"So... I will try to end this battle as quickly as possible."

As her voice fell, the lightning ball in her hand shone brightly, and a terrifying pressure, enough to instantly kill an ordinary First-Year University Student, bore down directly on Chen Xi!

Facing this sudden turn of events, Li Murou was frightened pale by that terrifying aura and subconsciously took a step back.

However.

Chen Xi looked at Ji Qing in front of him, feeling the incoming lightning aura.

Not only was there not a trace of fear.

He glanced at Su Xiaoxiao beside him, who was also expressionless, even showing a hint of a strange look in her eyes.

And then looked at the confident Zhou Tianren below.

Chen Xi shook his head, a playful arc curling the corner of his mouth:

"The strongest... lightning... power?"

Chen Xi chuckled, his eyes filled with undisguised mockery:

"Laughable."
