The job change is a bizarre and calamity; the nation begs me to tone it down.

This is the true value of being a top genius.

Although they were only around level 11, the combat skills and abilities these two displayed were enough to easily defeat ordinary level 15 professionals outside.

"That was truly spectacular."

Standing behind a stone pillar at the edge of the square, Gu Xu couldn't help but give the two of them a mental thumbs up.

If nothing unexpected happens.

The future achievements of these two are absolutely limitless, and they may even have the opportunity to reach that position.

Unfortunately, they encountered an unreasonable "accident" today.

"Cough cough."

Gu Xu cleared his throat; although his voice wasn't loud, it sounded particularly abrupt.

With his hands in the pockets of his robe, he emerged slowly from the shadows like a passing tourist.

Behind him, on his left and right, followed the elusive red-clad female ghost.

And that big rat that was drooling.

"Excuse me, gentlemen."

Gu Xu's voice was calm and gentle: "This place is quite spacious, would you mind adding an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl?"

This is just a casual remark.

In an instant, the tense battlefield fell into an eerie silence.

Qin Shuyao and Lei Zhen stopped almost simultaneously, each leaping back more than ten meters to create a safe distance.

The next moment, both of their gazes fell on Gu Xu.

As geniuses nurtured by various powerful families, they may be arrogant, but they are definitely not stupid.

That madman Su from Zhan Shen Jun dared to utter such harsh words before the match even started.

The fact that he even drew all the hatred from the audience onto Gu Xu shows that this young man in black robes is definitely a formidable opponent.

Furthermore, regardless of the circumstances, the opponent can directly appear in the central arena.

That's enough for them to take seriously.

"Gu Xu?"

Qin Shuyao narrowed her eyes slightly, holding the greatsword horizontally in front of her, and warily sized up this lone survivor of the God-Slaying Army.

Her intuition told her that this seemingly lazy boy...

He exuded an extremely dangerous aura.

"hehe…"

Lei Zhen also sneered, though his face showed disdain.

But his hand gripping the warhammer tightened unconsciously.

The lightning shield around him also became more solid.

The two exchanged a glance across the distance.

With just a glance, these two mortal enemies, who were just moments before about to smash each other's brains out, were now at odds.

A tacit understanding was instantly reached.

Let's deal with that troublemaker first!

The ownership of the Demon Dragon can be contested later, but we absolutely cannot let the God-Slaying Army, this outcast, gain an advantage here.

"Send him out first!"

Lei Zhen let out a low roar, his eyes revealing a fierce glint.

"agree."

Qin Shuyao nodded, and the holy light around her shone again, but this time, the tip of her sword was pointed at Gu Xu.

However, just as they formed an alliance and prepared to launch their attack...

A strange chill crept up their spines.

It wasn't just a drop in temperature; it was a tremor that came from the depths of my soul.

It's like being targeted by some predator at the top of the food chain.

Every cell in my body was screaming frantically, "Run away!"

The ghost bride slightly raised her head; though her face was not visible beneath the bright red veil.

But that concept called "fear".

It has already begun to spread across this square.

Lei Zhen felt his throat go dry, and the violent power of the thunder seemed to slow down a bit at this moment.

He bit his tongue, forcibly using the pain to dispel the lingering fear in his heart.

"Playing tricks!"

Lei Zhen roared, seemingly to bolster his courage: "What kind of bullshit are you, playing tricks! I'm an SSS-rank! You think I'm afraid of you?!"

"Attack! Finish this quickly!"

At the command, Lei Zhen was the first to launch an attack.

He transformed into a purple lightning bolt, his warhammer brimming with immense power and destructive force, hurtling straight toward Gu Xu's face!

"He talks a lot of trash, hopefully he can take a beating."

Gu Xu looked at Lei Ting rushing towards him, his expression unchanged.

He simply tilted his head slightly and smiled faintly.

"Go."

As soon as he had a thought, Tucci, who had been lying at his feet, suddenly moved.

Instead of confronting Lei Zhen, it let out an extremely lewd sneer.

His figure vanished into thin air in an instant, transforming into an imperceptible green shadow that directly passed through Lei Zhen's defenses and rushed into the crowd behind him.

"Um?"

Halfway through his charge, Lei Zhen suddenly felt an itch in his nose, and a nauseating stench entered his nasal cavity.

Immediately afterwards, a green status icon suddenly popped up on my retina—[Poisoned].

"-380!"

"-420!"

His health bar inexplicably started to drop, although the amount of health he lost each time was not much.

But the frequency is frighteningly fast.

"What the hell is that?"

Lei Zhen was startled, but he knew he couldn't back down now.

As long as the summoner is killed first, these summoned creatures will naturally disappear.

However, just as he was preparing to continue his charge despite the poison wounds...

A sudden commotion arose from behind.

"Priest! Give me a shield! Cleanse!"

On the Azure Dragon Legion's side, Qin Shuyao also noticed something was wrong. Her health was also continuously decreasing, and the feeling of weakness from her body being corroded was getting stronger and stronger.

She immediately called the priest in the group.

However, the expected purifying light did not appear.

Qin Shuyao subconsciously turned around to look.

His pupils suddenly contracted.

The First Legion priest, who was originally standing at the very back of the group and heavily protected, had disappeared without a trace.

Only a patch of white light remained on the spot.

And... a faint red afterimage drifting away in the wind.

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

Qin Shuyao felt a chill run straight to the top of her head.

That was a fully armed priest!

Moreover, there were two professionals protecting him closely.

How could he have died without even letting out a scream?

At this moment, Lei Zhen, who was at the forefront, also noticed the anomaly behind him.

"Where's my wet nurse?!"

He roared and was about to turn around when he saw a green figure squatting in the spot where the priest had just been standing, holding a piece of rotten cheese.

She was making a face at him.

The priest, too, had turned into white light.

"You beast!"

Lei Zhen instantly flew into a rage. He abruptly stopped his charge and turned the warhammer in his hand around.

A bolt of purple lightning, as thick as a bucket, struck the damned rat with devastating force.

"Die, you son of a bitch!!"

This attack was launched with hatred and was extremely powerful, even blasting a scorched crater in the ground.

The smoke and dust cleared.

Lei Zhen originally thought that the rat must have been blasted into dust.

But when he looked closely, he was completely dumbfounded.

Twitch remained squatting in the same spot, not even a speck of dust had fallen from his tattered cloak.

It stretched out its dirty paws and scratched its head, then raised a middle finger at Lei Zhen.

The word "immunity" in large letters floated slowly above its head.
