After entering Jiangcheng City, the group's pace slowed down considerably.

We are now two kilometers away from the target location, and we can clearly hear the movement of the giant object.

"The target monster is not far away. Miss Gu, do you have any suggestions?" Hua Zhijie, the class monitor of the graduating class, looked at Gu Wanxue.

They were all very competitive, but they had to admit that Gu Wanxue was a genius, which is why they made an exception and asked a third-year student if she could take on the role of commander.

Gu Wanxue smiled and shook her head: "I'm just here to observe the seniors' assessment. I'm far less experienced than you seniors and I'm not qualified to give you any instructions."

Upon hearing this, everyone's goodwill towards Gu Wanxue increased even further.

What they fear most are those who possess formidable strength but lack combat experience and knowledge, and who give blind commands.

Fortunately, Gu Wanxue is not that kind of person.

"In that case, then let..."

Before Hua Zhijie could finish speaking, Zhao Bei interrupted him, saying, "If Miss Gu isn't going to give orders, then I'll do it."

Everyone was stunned when he opened his mouth.

Gu Wanxue's brows furrowed even more.

Although she hadn't been involved in her previous life, she knew that Zhao Bei was definitely not the one leading the team.

The commander at the time was none other than Hua Zhijie, who had an outstanding track record.

Gu Wanxue clenched her fists nervously. These changes were all insignificant; the most important thing was the city-breaking monster that suddenly appeared behind them.

If things are different from her previous life, and a tsunami-level monster suddenly appears above the breached city, what use are her memories as a reborn person?

Faced with Zhao Bei's offer to take command, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

If it were anyone else, they would have already started criticizing them.

But Zhao Bei's identity is different.

His brother is a B-rank combatant, just like Gu Wanxue, and is one of the two supreme masters of Monster Hunter Academy.

His father has an even more impressive background; he is the chairman of the board of directors of Monster Hunter Academy.

His status is one rank higher than that of the principal.

No one dared to speak up and stop him, for Zhao Bei could ruin his future with just a casual remark.

"Since Young Master Zhao has said so, then I'll trouble you to be the commander and lead us to defeat the monster and complete the assessment," Hua Zhijie said, offering his seat.

"Thank you all for your trust, seniors. I will accept this position without hesitation." Zhao Bei smiled and glanced at everyone, finally settling on Lin Chengfeng.

"I heard that the autopsy class has a project called 'live dissection,' which involves dissecting the monster while it is still alive to obtain materials with the highest adaptability and utilization rate."

"I suggest that we use the target monster as a live dissection subject later to enrich your autopsy team's experience."

Upon hearing this, the faces of the corpse dissection team members turned ashen.

Vivisection is one of the most dangerous projects, and only seasoned veterans with at least ten years of experience are qualified to participate.

Sending this group of intern autopsy trainees, who haven't even left the beginner village yet, to perform live autopsies is no different from committing suicide.

The graduating combatants had heard of live dissection to some extent, but they dared not speak out to stop it, fearing that Zhao Bei would take his anger out on them and ruin their futures.

Gu Wanxue frowned, though she hadn't really cared whether Zhao Bei was in command or not.

But Zhao Bei wanted the autopsy team to do something that was no different from suicide.

She couldn't sit still any longer and stepped forward: "Zhao Bei, the graduating class of autopsies doesn't meet the requirements for live dissection. Let's proceed according to the assessment standards."

Gu Wanxue's tone was as firm as an emperor's, allowing no room for doubt or rebuttal.

Zhao Bei, Hua Zhijie, and the others were stunned. At this moment, Gu Wanxue seemed to have become a different person, and the aura emanating from her body carried a sense of calm and coldness.

After all, she had once reached the pinnacle of combatants, becoming the first legendary combatant in the history of Earth to surpass S-class.

The aura they exuded was enough to impress these inexperienced graduates.

but……

There was also someone at the scene who wasn't intimidated by her aura.

"Tsk tsk, this girl seems gentle and virtuous on the surface, but I didn't expect her to have such a strong side. Whoever marries this girl can basically say their good days are over," Lin Chengfeng muttered to himself.

Zhao Bei's forehead veins bulged, and he gritted his teeth in anger.

"Damn it! Damn it!"

"You have no objection to me being in charge, but you only jumped out when I had the autopsy team do live dissections! You really are having an affair with that kid!" Zhao Bei roared inwardly.

His malice towards Lin Chengfeng intensified.

Enough is enough! Zhao Bei decided to stand his ground. Staring into Gu Wanxue's cold, beautiful eyes, he pulled out a document and said coldly, "This is the Board of Directors' decision. Neither of us has the right to change it!"

Gu Wanxue didn't even glance at it, and said, "I said, follow the normal assessment standards. Are you Erduolong?"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers gasped in shock.

"My God, how dare they openly defy the school board's arrangements? Is this the confidence of the youngest B-level combatant?!"

"Huh? I heard that School Beauty Gu and Young Master Zhao are a couple, but this atmosphere... doesn't seem like it at all."

"What kind of couple is that? It's just Young Master Zhao swooning over School Beauty Gu."

"Then isn't he just a clown...?"

"Shh!!!"

"Keep your voice down, the person in question is right here."

The chattering behind him didn't reach Zhao Bei's ears; he was completely stunned by Gu Wanxue.

Looking into Gu Wanxue's eyes, which could cut a person to death, Zhao Bei knew that continuing to speak would only bring him trouble.

Those who are wise to recognize the situation should step aside.

"Fine, fine, if the board of directors holds you accountable, you'd better be just as assertive as you are today."

Gu Wanxue ignored him and turned to Hua Zhijie, saying, "Lead the team and get this over with so we can go home sooner."

Hua Zhijie hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Zhao Bei. Seeing that Zhao Bei didn't speak, he stepped forward and called for the combatants to follow. The dismemberment team then distanced themselves from them by 500 meters.

To avoid the dismemberment team not having enough time to dodge in the event of a battle.

Lin Chengfeng looked at Gu Wanxue, who was walking ahead of the corpse dissection team, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.

"This girl is quite strong. I don't even know what level she's at when she transforms into Hyper Zetton. What if I'm weaker than her and get killed? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?" Lin Chengfeng thought to himself.

They've already considered backing out and plan to wait and see before making any changes.

The monsters in this world are not weak. According to Lin Chengfeng's understanding of Hyper Zetton, if it is in its prime after transformation, it should have no problem obtaining the peak of the dragon realm, or simply the peak of the dragon realm.

As for the highest-level world-destroying monsters, there are no records of them in history, and Lin Chengfeng does not know their strength.

All I know is a saying that circulates among the people.

The appearance of a world-destroying monster marks the beginning of a new era.

The group continued onward.

Shortly after entering the city, the ground suddenly shook violently.

"Everyone take cover!" shouted Du Ruifeng, the leader of the autopsy team.

Lin Chengfeng followed them and hid in an office building similar to the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Du Ruifeng activated an aura shielding device to conceal the presence of the Corpse Dissection Team.

"Is the monster coming?"

Lin Chengfeng craned his neck and peered out through the glass window without any glass panes.

Soon, a loud roar rang out.

The flesh of his body trembled.

A monster about forty meters tall appeared in the distance.

The monster has muscular legs and stone-gray skin with patterns that resemble corn that has come to life.

"hiss……"

"It's actually the Thunder King, notorious for its brutality among the Nightmare-level monsters!"

One of the teammates exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Chengfeng's eyes widened when he saw the monster's appearance.

"Isn't that the Civil War's legendary god, Red King the Corncob?!"
