After switching jobs to Navelette, the school beauty turns out to be Funina!

Jiang Chen, who was sitting in the contestants' section eating sunflower seeds, almost spat out the seed shells when he heard this.

"Make him cry?" Jiang Chen shook his head and said to the classmate next to him.

"This guy's really out of his depth. Daring to say he'd beat Fukaros to tears in front of her? The last person who said that is probably already buried two meters tall."

On the stage, Xia Qingyu smiled politely.

"Thank you for your kind offer, but... I think you can give it your all."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Wang Dali roared, and the giant axe in his hand glowed red as he charged forward like a tank!

"Rampage!"

That momentum was truly astonishing. If an ordinary fragile mage were to be hit by it, they would probably be heading straight to the infirmary.

However, Xia Qingyu stood still, without moving an inch.

Just as the giant axe was about to fall, she gently waved her staff, as if she were directing a ball.

"Come out, Lonely Heart Salon!"

Whoosh!

A huge pool of water appeared out of thin air on the arena.

Immediately afterwards, three little guys with uniquely quirky styles jumped out.

Lord Uther (Octopus): Responsible for blowing bubbles and hanging water.

Lady Hevima (Seahorse): In charge of the remote water gun.

Miss Shebelita (Crab): Responsible for... clamping people's buttocks with her big pincers.

"What is this? A seafood family bucket?" Wang Dali was dumbfounded.

Before he could react, the octopus opened its mouth and sprayed a series of huge bubbles all over his face. Although the damage was not great, it directly blocked his vision.

"I can't see it either!" Wang Dali waved his axe wildly.

Immediately afterwards, the seahorse, like a machine gun, spat out a series of high-pressure water bullets, making Wang Dali's armor clang and causing him to stagger.

The worst offender was the crab.

It strode around behind Wang Dali with an arrogant and domineering gait, and gave his buttocks a hard jab!

"Awooo—!!!"

A bloodcurdling scream echoed throughout the arena.

Wang Dali jumped three meters high, clutching his buttocks and tears welling up in his eyes.

"A great opportunity!" Xia Qingyu's eyes lit up, and she waved her staff.

"All troops, attack!"

The three "seafoods" immediately swarmed over, squirting water and pinching him, tormenting Wang Dali to the point of ecstasy.

"I give up! I give up! Stop clamping your legs! Stop clamping your legs!"

Less than a minute later, Wang Dali threw down the axe and ran off the stage crying.

There was a moment of silence, followed by a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha! What kind of strategy is this? Summoner builds can be played like this?"

"That's hilarious, isn't that crab the MVP?"

"This isn't a fight, this is bullying!"

Jiang Chen was also overjoyed in the audience, clapping and commenting at the same time.

"Not bad, not bad. You know how to utilize the terrain and the characteristics of your summoned creatures. It seems that the special training these past few days has paid off. Especially that crab, it has truly learned from me and knows how to attack weaknesses."

The corner of a classmate's mouth twitched.

"Um... does attacking the butt count as attacking a weak point?"

"Why doesn't it count?" Jiang Chen asked with a serious expression.

"That's one of the weakest points in human defense, and also where dignity lies. Smash their backside, and you shatter their psychological defenses. That's called winning hearts and minds."

classmate:"……"

What you said makes so much sense, I'm speechless.

"Next match! Class 1, Grade 1, Zhao Wuji! vs... Class 3, Grade 1, Liu Bo!"

Zhao Wuji has entered the arena.

This guy was clearly holding back a lot of anger. Without saying a word, he went up on stage and immediately activated his half-dragon form, punching the unlucky Liu Bo out of the arena, shattering even his shield into pieces.

"Too weak!" Zhao Wuji stood on the stage, his gaze piercing through the crowd, fixed on Jiang Chen, and slowly pointed his thumb downwards.

"Jiang Chen, I hope you can hold on until you meet me. Don't get eliminated halfway through!"

Jiang Chen didn't react at all, he just looked down at his number plate.

"Next match! Jiang Chen from Class 1, Grade 1, versus... Zhou Yan from Class 4, Grade 1!"

Is it finally my turn?

Jiang Chen patted the sunflower seed crumbs off his hands, stood up, and stretched.

"Zhou Yan?" a classmate kindly reminded him.

"Jiang Chen, be careful. That Zhou Yan is a tough opponent. His class is [Rock Giant], known for its unparalleled defense at the same level, and his rock skin has magic immunity, making him very effective against mages."

"Magic exemption?"

Jiang Chen smiled, but there was a hint of something strange in his smile.

"That's perfect."

"I have a quirk: I can deal with anyone who's defiant, especially those who think they're tough."

Meanwhile, Zhou Yan stood on the other side of the arena, looking at Jiang Chen opposite him who was empty-handed and didn't even bring a staff, and felt a little apprehensive.

Although he was confident in his defensive abilities, the reputation of the man and the rumor of "staring at the Zhenyuan Stone" still made him a little apprehensive.

"Never mind! As long as I stack enough armor, no one can kill me instantly!"

Zhou Yan roared to bolster his courage.

"Rock Skin!"

"Guardians of the Earth!"

"Crystallized Armor!"

"Immovable as a mountain!"

He unleashed a barrage of defensive skills as if they were free.

In the blink of an eye, he swelled up and turned into a stone man covered in thick granite, shimmering with an earthy yellow light.

"Jiang Chen! I know you have a high burst damage!" Zhou Yan shouted in a gruff voice.

"But this armor of mine can withstand ten exploding fireballs from a fire mage! Water mage skills only deal 50% damage to me! I'll stand here and let you hit me. If you can break through my defenses, I'll change my surname to yours!"

The audience members were also discussing it animatedly.

"Zhou Yan is too shameless; he's just a turtle shell."

"Water-type is indeed difficult to fight against Rock-type, as it is weak to Water-type."

"It seems Jiang Chen is about to face a tough battle."

Looking at the "stone man" in front of him, Jiang Chen felt not nervous at all, but rather wanted to laugh.

"Take my surname?" Jiang Chen stroked his chin. "Jiang Yan? That name sounds like an insult."

Instead of keeping his distance like the other monks, he slowly walked forward a few steps until he was less than five meters away from Zhou Yan before stopping.

"Since you're so confident, then I won't hold back."

Jiang Chen raised his right hand, without any fancy movements, just lightly tapping with his index finger.

"Combat Skill: Drop of Source Water"

There were no special attack effects; only three blue water droplets appeared out of thin air and hovered around Jiang Chen.

Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment: "That's it? Are you planning to wash my face with water droplets?"

"Don't rush, this is just foreplay."

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, then clenched his right hand, and the three water droplets instantly merged into his body.

The next second, no shield or aura appeared on his body, but his entire aura changed.

If he was a stagnant pool just now, he is now a river about to burst its banks!

Health-to-damage conversion mechanism activated.

The charging time has been reset to zero.

"Special heavy blow - fair and impartial ruling".
