Kill one monster, stack one poison, and I alone will poison my way across the world!

the other side.

The Ice Mage champion and his four teammates ran for two or three kilometers in one go, and only stopped panting after confirming that Su Chen had no intention of chasing them.

The pressure he felt just now almost gave him a heart attack.

The berserker, clutching his swollen cheek, finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Brother Zhang! What's wrong with you?!"

The berserker's tone was full of defiance and grievance, "You're the top student in our city! What are you afraid of? There are only two people on the other side! And they're a priest and a mage! Both of them are squishy!"

"I could smash them to pieces with one charge!"

"What right did you have to hit me? And kneel down and offer them credits? You've completely disgraced our team!"

"..."

The assassin also came over and whispered, "Yeah, Brother Zhang, you're such a coward. Even if that mage is somewhat strong, we're five against two, there's no need to run away."

"Me, a coward? Ashamed?"

The Ice Mage champion, having finally caught his breath, was so enraged by the words of these two idiots that he slapped the assassin on the head again.

"You don't know anything!"

The ice mage, a top scholar, pointed at their noses and cursed, "I was just saving your lives! Do you even know who that mage is?!"

"Who is it? Could it be the Heavenly King himself?"

The berserker muttered defiantly.

"His name is Su Chen!"

The ice magic champion took a deep breath, a deep fear flashing in his eyes. "You guys aren't qualified to participate in the college entrance exam qualifying rounds; you have no idea how monstrous he is!"

"Play-offs?"

The assassin paused for a moment, "You mean that competition only the top geniuses from each city can participate in? Brother Zhang, didn't you go? That kid went too?"

"It's more than just going..."

The Ice Mage champion's voice began to tremble, as if he were recalling some extremely terrifying scene.

"Because of the confidentiality agreement signed above, I cannot disclose the specific details of the battle. But I can tell you definitively..."

He stared intently at his teammate and said, word by word, "During the college entrance exam, he came in first place in three consecutive tests... including the final qualifying round! A crushing victory, a clear clear winner!"

"What?!"

The berserker and the assassin both widened their eyes.

Three consecutive first-place finishes?

Including the playoffs that bring together the nation's most talented players?!

"That's not all."

The top ice mage gave a wry smile. "You say he's squishy? You think we can win a five-on-two? Let me tell you, even if you tied up all the freshmen in our grade together, they wouldn't be enough to fill a tooth gap in his mouth with a single skill!"

"hiss--"

Upon hearing this, the berserker and the assassin gasped sharply, feeling a chill run from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads.

Horror!

Recalling how he had actually charged at that monster with a greatsword, the berserker's legs suddenly cramped.

"Zhang...Brother Zhang..."

The berserker stammered, "Thank you for slapping me just now... You did the right thing, you did a good job..."

The ice mage sighed, "Let's hurry up and get away from this area."

The group dared not say anything more and quickly followed.

……

A few kilometers away from Su Chen and Lin Shiqing, in another dense forest.

This is the depths of the dungeon, and also the spawn area for high-level monsters.

Five second-year students were idly cleaning up a few level 24 jungle lizards.

They are the "Hunter Team" in this selection competition, and they paid a lot of credits to get in.

The mission is to teach these arrogant freshmen a lesson and, incidentally, plunder their credits.

A male assassin wielding two daggers sliced ​​open the lizard's throat and disgustedly flicked the blood off the blade.

"This is so boring. These freshmen run faster than rabbits. It took us ages to find two teams."

Be content.

A mage nearby yawned and casually tossed a fireball, charring another lizard. "You forgot about last year? That senior named Chu Kuang was inhuman. He single-handedly blocked the respawn point and stole all the credits from our freshman year. I was kicked out of the dungeon after only ten minutes, without even seeing what the monsters looked like."

"Damn, don't even mention that pervert, it makes me angry just thinking about him."

The shield warrior spat, "We're going to have a good time this year. I've calculated it; if we snatch ten new teams, we'll break even."

Xiao Ya, the female priest who had been silent throughout the group, was now standing under the shade of a tree.

Half of her face was hidden in shadow, and the cross staff in her hand emitted a faint white light.

"Xiao Ya, what are you daydreaming about? Hurry up and give me some milk, the lizard's venom still hurts a bit."

The assassin boy turned around and shouted.

Xiao Ya slowly raised her head.

Her eyes had no pupils, only a murky gray-white.

"OK."

Xiao Ya's voice became hoarse and overlapping, as if two or three voices were speaking at the same time.

She raised the cross staff in her hand, but instead of a healing white light, it emitted a nauseating dark purple glow.

Click—click—

The ground beneath her feet suddenly cracked open, and a twisted mass of flesh emerged from the soil.

It was a gigantic monster pieced together from the remains of various wild beasts, with the head of a wolf, the torso of a bear, and the limbs of a spider, and its body reeked of a strong stench of decay.

【Abyssal Chimera Beast (Elite Monster)】

[Level: 25]

【Strength: 2400】

[Agility: 2600]

[Stamina: 3500]

【Spirit: 2200】

[Skills: Body Embedding, Fatal Strike]

……

"What the hell is this thing?!"

The shield warrior was terrified and immediately raised his shield to block in front of him.

However, the Chimera Beast was incredibly fast.

Its thick spider-like limbs suddenly pushed off the ground, and its massive body instantly covered a distance of more than ten meters, appearing directly in front of the shield warrior.

boom!

With a sickening cracking sound, the Chimera Beast's claws pierced through the shield warrior's chest, lifting him into the air.

"-28513!"

Sold out instantly!

"Old Wang!"

The mage's eyes were bloodshot, and before the fireball in his hand could even take shape, the Chimera Beast's enormous wolf head had already turned around, opening its blood-red maw.

puff.

The mage's upper body disappeared directly into the monster's mouth.

Followed by.

The Chimera easily killed another student who was already terrified.

In just a few seconds, a well-trained second-year hunter squad was reduced to just one assassin boy.

His legs went weak, and he stared in horror at the girl standing in the shadows.

"Xiao Ya...Are you crazy?! What are you doing?!"

Xiao Ya stepped through the flowing blood on the ground and walked step by step to the assassin.

A strange and twisted smile was on her face.

"What am I doing?"

Xiao Ya reached out and gently stroked the blood-stained fur of the chimera beast.

The monster obediently lowered its head and rubbed against her palm like a pet.

"Of course I'm helping you."

She let out a strange "heh-heh" laugh, which sounded particularly eerie in the dark, dense forest.

"This fake world is too painful. Every day we struggle for those pitiful resources, living like dogs."

"The great Lord has come and given me true strength."

Xiao Ya looked down at the trembling assassin.

"Death is the greatest gift to you lost sheep, for it will bring you sooner!"

"You madman...you madman infected by the abyss!"

The assassin screamed in despair.

"Shhh."

Xiao Ya raised a finger and placed it to her lips.

The chimera's limbs swung down suddenly, and the assassin's voice came to an abrupt halt.

Xiao Ya turned around, her gray eyes gazing deeper into the secret realm.

"The real show... has only just begun."
