Chapter 85: Horrifying Injuries Shock Everyone
The spectator hall was deathly silent.
After a brief silence, a deafening scream erupted.
"Holy crap! Ten seconds?! Eight sand scorpions, in just ten seconds?!"
"What rank is that bird? How can it deal so much damage! Over 50,000 damage? This is a level 20+ monster!"
"Not only that bird, but that turtle's waterspout was also terrible, causing area damage, and over such a large area!"
"The key is teamwork! That bird goes first to cut through the front line, then uses crowd control, and that turtle finishes them off with area-of-effect damage. Their coordination is absolutely flawless!"
"Su Lin's instructions were also crisp and efficient, without any hesitation."
"This kid... he's really gotten stronger!"
In the VIP section, Lin Xiong looked at the big screen with a slight smile on his lips.
Su Lin was even more outstanding than he had imagined.
Sitting next to him, Jiang Yunbin stroked his beard and smiled:
"Lord Lin, your adopted son is truly remarkable."
"That's right." Lin Xiong said without any modesty, "How could Brother Su's son be anything less than excellent?"
"However, Zhao Lingtian from the Zhao family is no simple man either."
Jiang Yunbin pointed to another window: "Look over there."
Lin Xiong followed his finger and looked over.
In the scene, Zhao Lingtian's team is fighting monsters in the swamp area.
Zhao Lingtian's three beast pets, "Frost Wolf King," "Raging Bear King," and "Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle," were deployed simultaneously, working with his three S-rank team members to crush the enemy all the way.
The Frost Wolf King's freezing breath turned the monsters into ice sculptures, the Berserk Bear King's charge shattered the ice sculptures, and the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle roamed the air, clearing out any remaining monsters.
Although their efficiency was slightly slower than Su Lin's team, it was still quite remarkable.
"Zhao Lingtian's three beast pets are all quite formidable."
Jiang Yunbin commented, "The Frost Wolf King is a second-stage mutation of the SS rank, and the Berserk Bear King and the Golden-Winged Thunder Eagle are also top-tier S-rank beasts. The combined combat power of the three should not be underestimated."
"I know," Lin Xiong nodded, "but I'm not worried."
"Oh?"
"Because that kid Su Lin hasn't gone all out yet."
Jiang Yunbin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.
Yes, Su Lin's fire dragon hasn't even appeared yet!
Inside the instance, in the desert area.
Su Lin and his group of five continued onward.
They had walked less than 500 meters when they encountered a new monster—a sandworm.
This is a monster that hides underground. Normally, only its head is exposed above ground. Once prey gets close, it will emerge from underground and tear its prey apart with its huge mouth full of sharp teeth.
【Sandworm (Elite Monster)】
[Level: 25]
[Health Volume: 580000/580000]
"Watch out for the ground!"
Jiang Yuyao was the first to notice the anomaly.
As soon as he finished speaking, five sand worms emerged from the ground, opened their huge mouths, and pounced on the five people.
"Ironclad Armor, Earthly Guardian!"
The Raging Sea Rock Turtle released a shield, enveloping Su Lin within it.
The sandworm's sharp teeth bit into the shield, making a crunching sound, but without causing any damage.
"Wind Spirit, Thunder Net!"
With a flap of its wings, the Wind Spirit Sparrow unleashed a massive net woven from lightning that descended from the sky, enveloping all five sandworms.
sizzle-
Lightning crackled across the sandworms, causing continuous damage to each one, which began to paralyze them.
"cut!"
Lin Qingli drew her sword, and a golden sword light swept out.
A combo of five sword strikes, each one precisely aimed at the sandworm's weak point on its head.
-44823!
-44912!
-34776!
-...
A barrage of damage numbers appeared; as an SSS-rank professional who had undergone a second job advancement, Lin Qingli's damage was terrifying.
In the blink of an eye, all five sandworms were dead.
[Kill 5 sandworms, score +500 (elite monsters x5)]
Current points: 508, rank: 1st
"pretty!"
Jiang Feng couldn't help but applaud: "Lin Xiaohua's swordsmanship was so cool!"
Stop flattering me.
Shen Lingling rolled her eyes: "You're a fire mage, just standing there watching the show, don't you have the nerve?"
"I call this conserving my strength!"
Jiang Feng argued confidently, "Why would I, an S-rank fire mage, need to deal with such weaklings?"
"You don't need your S-rank fire mage to make a move, you're making someone else's SSS-rank genius do it?"
"..."
"Alright, stop joking around."
Su Lin interrupted their bickering: "Keep moving forward, stop hiding anything, let's finish this quickly and clear the desert within half an hour."
"Yes, sir!"
……
The viewing hall.
"Wow, Su Lin's team already has over 500 points, and it's only been a little over ten minutes!"
"Zhao Lingtian's team only has a little over 300 points, which is far behind."
"That's not entirely true. Zhao Lingtian's area is a swamp, where the monster density is low and the difficulty is higher than in the desert, so it's normal that he gets points more slowly."
"That's true, but Su Lin's progress is too smooth. He's been crushing everything in his path without stopping."
"The key is that turtle's shield is too powerful; even five sand worms attacking simultaneously couldn't break it. Its defensive capabilities are simply outrageous!"
"And then there's the bird's control. Once the lightning net was released, all five sandworms were controlled, unable to move, and could only wait to die."
"Lin Qingli's five swords were also very skillful. Each sword accurately hit the weak point. This kind of skill cannot be mastered without years of hard practice."
Everyone present was discerning and could immediately see the strength of Su Lin's team.
"The team's five players have a perfect coordination. One is responsible for controlling the field, one for defense, one for output, and two others are supporting from the side."
"Have you noticed that S-rank fire mage Jiang Feng hasn't made a move yet? He's been just coasting along."
"That's called conserving strength, you know?"
"That's true, there's really no need for an S-rank fire mage to deal with a monster of this level."
"I'm increasingly looking forward to their performance at the Central Heritage Site."
Inside the instance, at the edge of the desert area.
Su Lin and his group of five spent more than half an hour clearing out nearly 80% of the monsters in the entire desert area.
Current points: 2247
Unfortunately, perhaps due to the artificially created instance, the monsters here simply turn into a ball of energy and dissipate after being killed, without granting any evolution points.
This made Su Lin, who failed to get any benefits, a little unhappy.
But it doesn't matter, winning the championship is the most important thing.
"That's about it."
Jiang Yuyao glanced at the map: "The remaining monsters are quite scattered. It's not cost-effective for us to spend more time farming them or wait for the next respawn time. We can head to the next area."
During this time, Su Lin and his group swept across the entire desert, encountering many teams along the way, but they simply couldn't be bothered to fight them.
At this stage, everyone is accumulating points. At this time, fighting yields little reward and carries great risk. If you encounter someone who is determined to escape, it will take time and effort to chase them, which is completely unnecessary.
It's better to wait until the Central Ruins, then eliminate those teams with a lot of points. The rewards will be higher, and it will save time and effort.
With Lin Qingli, an SSS-rank prodigy, around, no passing team dared to provoke her and instead avoided her from a distance.
"What's the next area?"
Jiang Feng asked.
"forest."
Lin Qingli pointed north: "The Central Ruins are just beyond the forest, and it's conveniently located along the way."
"Let's go then."
