Chapter 82 A Thunderous Sweep!
The referee's voice came from the ring.
Su Lin stepped onto ring number 149.
Opposite him was a burly young warrior, well-equipped, wielding a longsword that gleamed coldly, and he looked quite imposing.
Zhao Zhen, Rank A Berserker, Level 28.
Su Lin glanced at the school badge on the other person's chest. It was from No. 1 Middle School, but he didn't recognize it. He figured the other person was just some unknown guy from the Zhao family.
However, Zhao Zhen clearly knew Su Lin.
A slight smirk played on his lips, tinged with disdain.
"Su Lin? You're the one who awakened to be an E-rank Beastmaster..."
"You talk too much nonsense."
He hadn't finished speaking.
Su Lin raised his hand.
A spatial portal opened silently, and the Wind Spirit Sparrow flapped its wings and flew out.
The cyan-gold wings shimmered in the sunlight. With each flap of the wings, lightning flashed and wind howled, and an invisible pressure instantly enveloped the entire arena.
"this--"
Zhao Zhen's pupils contracted, and he instinctively raised his longsword, intending to take the initiative.
next second.
"Hey!!"
The Wind Spirit Sparrow let out a clear chirp, and with a flap of its wings, three cyan wind blades tore through the air, slashing towards Zhao Zhen at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.
Sky-Splitting Slash!
Three intersecting wind blades blocked all his evasive routes.
"What?!"
Zhao Zhen's expression changed drastically, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
"boom!"
The wind blade struck the longsword, and the enormous impact sent him flying, crashing heavily onto the edge of the arena.
-18233!
A shocking damage number popped up above his head.
Zhao Zhen's health bar instantly dropped by two-thirds, and a noticeable crack appeared on the longsword in his hand.
"How...how could the damage be so high!"
His face was filled with horror and disbelief!
The surroundings were deathly silent.
Everyone watching the arena was stunned.
After a brief silence, an uproar erupted.
"Holy crap! This damage?!"
"Over 18,000 HP? One hit took away over 18,000 HP? Is that something a B-rank pet can do?"
"Are you kidding me! My level 25 warrior doesn't even have 18,000 HP!"
"What's wrong with that bird? How can it be so fierce!"
"Wind Spirit Sparrow? No, this isn't an ordinary Wind Spirit Sparrow! Look at the lightning patterns on its body, it's a mutated species!"
"A mutated Wind Spirit Sparrow? That doesn't make sense either; mutated species shouldn't be this outrageous!"
murmurs rose and fell, and everyone looked at Su Lin with disbelief in their eyes.
"Damn it, damn it!!"
Zhao Zhen struggled to stand up.
The Wind Spirit Sparrow had already raised its wings once more.
Lightning crackled and hissed between its wings.
The wind howls and thunder roars, gathering momentum for action.
"No!"
Zhao Zhen's face turned deathly pale.
He could sense that the next attack would be even more terrifying.
"I give up!"
Zhao Zhen raised his hand without hesitation, his voice trembling.
Just kidding, if he does that again, he might have to be carried off the stage!
The referee glanced at Su Lin and announced, "Number 666 wins!"
Su Lin recalled the Wind Spirit Sparrow and walked off the arena expressionlessly.
The entire battle lasted no more than five seconds.
He didn't even use the Crimson Flame or the Iron Armor.
The gazes from all around shifted from initial disdain to shock and awe!
"Who is this person? Which school does he go to? I've never seen him before!"
"It seems to be Su Lin, the one adopted by City Lord Lin?"
"Su Lin? Is that the descendant of the martyr who awakened as an E-rank Beastmaster?"
"Yes, that's him! I heard that on Awakening Day a few days ago, everyone thought he was crippled, and School Beauty Lin even publicly declared on the spot that she would protect him!"
"Protect him? Are you kidding me! Someone with that kind of strength doesn't need protection!"
"Exactly, one-shotting an A-rank berserker? Is that something an E-rank beast tamer could do?"
Everyone had a new understanding of Su Lin, and some even said:
"What do you know? This is called playing dumb to fool others! I bet he was faking it when he awakened his powers before. If you ask me, he's definitely a genius!"
"Pretending? What's the benefit of pretending to be useless on Awakening Day?"
"Mind your own business. Anyway, starting today, the genius rankings in Jiangyang City are going to be re-established!"
"Not just Jiangyang City, with this kind of strength, they rank among the top in the entire province!"
Regardless of whether it was pleasant or unpleasant to hear, Su Lin ignored it and headed straight for the arena where Lin Qingli was.
But the murmurs behind them continued.
"Did you see that? He didn't even use a second pet when he was fighting Zhao Zhen!"
"Nonsense, that bird is enough, why would we need a second one?"
"I heard he has more than just this one pet; he also has a shield turtle and a fire python, both ridiculously powerful!"
"Really? All three of them are that strong?"
"Believe it or not, I heard it all. That day at Xingyue Trading Company, he single-handedly took on Zhao Lingyun, Wang Long, Liu Sen, and the Yang siblings—five people in total—and beat them all to a pulp!"
"Holy crap! That's incredible?!"
"What's even more incredible is that I heard he also saved the lives of the Jiang siblings in the Abyss Nightmare instance!"
"Abyssification? Nightmare instance? Him, a newly awakened newbie?"
"That's why I said this person is unfathomable!"
These sounds surprised Su Lin somewhat.
He knew that the matter concerning Xingyue Trading Company would definitely get out; after all, secrets can't stay hidden forever, and even if he didn't say anything, others would.
But unexpectedly, people also found out about the Abyss Dungeon.
However, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, I'm going to make a name for myself in this college entrance exam, and I'm not afraid of people finding out!
He had no interest in explaining anything.
Strength is the best proof.
Lin Qingli's arena is on the other side.
By the time Su Lin arrived, her battle was already over.
The opponent is a level 28 A-rank assassin, who is well-known in Jiangyang No. 3 Middle School for his speed and high burst damage.
But when facing Lin Qingli, he couldn't even last three moves.
The assassin's prized dodging skills were rendered useless against Lin Qingli, and he was forced to use his protective abilities with a single sword strike.
The first strike breaks through the defense.
A golden sword light swept across, blasting the assassin ten meters away, shattering his shield.
The second strike knocks the opponent away.
The entire process takes no more than ten seconds.
With the third strike, the opponent immediately conceded defeat.
When Su arrived, he saw Lin Qingli sheath her sword and walk off the stage.
Her golden armor was spotless, the holy mark between her brows glowed faintly, and her delicate face remained completely calm, as if she had just done something insignificant.
"Finished?"
Su Lin walked over.
"Um."
Lin Qingli nodded, a slight smile playing on her lips. The coldness in her eyes melted away the moment she saw Su Lin.
"Where is your fight?"
"It's over."
"How many seconds?"
"Five seconds, I guess."
Su Lin thought for a moment: "The other party admitted defeat quite quickly."
Lin Qingli chuckled lightly and didn't ask any further questions.
The two walked side by side towards the rest area.
This scene drew envious, jealous, and hateful glances from many people.
"Lin, the school beauty, is so good to that guy! Look how sweet her smile is!"
"Nonsense, they're childhood sweethearts, engaged, why wouldn't I smile at you?"
"Hmph, an E-rank Beastmaster? Does he even deserve the title?"
"Didn't you watch his match? He defeated Zhao Zhen in one move. You think he's not worthy?"
"So what? He's just a beast tamer. Without his beasts, he's useless!"
"Do you even believe that yourself? Beastmasters make a living off their beasts. Try asking a mage to do without magic!"
"Exactly, what's with the sour grapes? If you're so capable, why don't you try contracting three such powerful beast pets yourself?"
"..."
