You call this a healer?

The day after the "Divine Map of the Eight Desolations" was opened, at dusk.

Xie Lingyuan, Song Zhishu, and a group of second-year students, along with Ye Chen, Bai Muwan, Feng Qi, Chen Guiqi, Lin Ya, Liang Bucheng, and a group of freshmen, arrived at the entrance of "Qianlongyuan".

They immediately looked at the jade screen on their left and saw that Zhou Ming had already entered the 60th floor.

Then, they all looked at a larger stone tablet not far away, where the list of the top 100 on the "Dragon List" was located.

Without Zhou Ming, it seems that only those who break through to the 65th floor are qualified to be on the list.

Chen Guiqi said with a serious expression: "Zhou Ming, a support class, reached level 60 in two days and one night. I admit that his comprehension is extraordinary and he does have some skills. However, he is still a support class and is not at an advantage in 'Hidden Dragon Abyss'. We combat classes can bridge the gap in comprehension!"

"Two days and one night, I will definitely reach the 70th floor!"

His words weren't arrogant. Influenced by Zhou Ming, most of the people present had been holding back for a day and a night, comprehending two or three kinds of the power of the "Divine Eight Desolations Diagram," and were now full of confidence.

The others remained silent, but Ye Chen's face revealed a hint of confidence and determination: "This kind of competition is healthy; I approve of it!"

"Haha, let's encourage each other! I'll go first and set an example for everyone!"

Chen Guiqi was the first to hand in his student ID and rush into the entrance of "Hidden Dragon Abyss".

Ye Chen, Bai Muwan, and their group then entered.

Xie Lingyuan and the others were the last.

Song Zhishu couldn't help but ask, "Lingyuan, do you think we can catch up with Zhou Ming? Last year we only focused on cultivating our foundation and going out to increase our resources; we didn't even try the Hidden Dragon Abyss!"

Xie Lingyuan thought for a moment: "It shouldn't be too difficult. A-Ming seems to be only a Level 2 Healer right now. Even with his amazing combat skills and abilities, and all ten types of comprehension, his offensive power is still a bit weak! Let's go!"

Four sophomores entered the "Hidden Dragon Abyss" to challenge themselves, but they sensed something was wrong on the first level; it wasn't as easy as they had imagined!

On the fifth floor, they saw Liang Bucheng, who had been beaten black and blue.

On the seventh floor, they found Lin Ya with disheveled hair, stumbling around.

On the ninth floor, they saw Chen Guiqi, who had been full of pride before, now lying on the ground in a spread-eagle position, being mercilessly hammered by a praying mantis!

Chen Guiqi, his face covered in blood, desperately stretched out his hands, crying, "Something's wrong! Something's wrong! Help me!"

Xie Lingyuan and the others managed to pull him out with great difficulty, but he was speechless. They then broke through the layer and entered the next layer.

On the fifteenth floor, they saw Ye Chen, whose face was ashen and whose mouth was filled with blood.

They exchanged a glance, Ye Chen's expression somewhat awkward: "It seems... it's not that simple!"

On the eighteenth floor, Bai Muwan was dressed in tattered clothes and looked like a madwoman, being repeatedly knocked away by the "divine force".

The nineteenth floor...

……

Thirty-five floors!

Exhausted, Xie Lingyuan and his three companions stopped there for the time being. They calculated that two days and one night had passed.

He had the same time as Zhou Ming, but nearly thirty fewer levels.

This can't be explained by the distinction between support and combat classes; it simply doesn't work.

Song Zhishu's face darkened: "You're overthinking it. The Hidden Dragon Abyss gets increasingly difficult. The seniors on the Dragon Ranking all earned their positions through hard work and perseverance; it's not something that can be achieved overnight. Zhou Ming is a monster!"

Xie Lingyuan smiled bitterly, not knowing why, but he had a feeling that he couldn't catch up with Zhou Ming in any way.

……

September 17th.

Zhou Ming's third day in "Hidden Dragon Abyss".

At dawn, Xie Lingyuan arrived alone at the entrance of "Hidden Dragon Abyss" and found that not only Ye Chen, Chen Guiqi, Feng Qi, Bai Muwan and their group were there, but also more than 30 experts on the Dragon Ranking, including Chen Guixian and Su Feiyu, were also there. They were all gathered around the Dragon Ranking stone pillar not far away, and each of them had a solemn expression!

The Dragon Ranking has changed, and a newcomer has squeezed in—

Zhou Ming: 66th floor, 95th place.

The ranking officially begins from the 65th floor. Many top players are crowded on the same floor and can't get past it. The ranking is based on the time it takes to clear the floor.

Zhou Ming entered the list in three days.

The fastest person in the history of Baijiang Academy, and also the only support class.

The crowd fell silent.

At this moment, any negative comments about Zhou Ming can only be swallowed down. Anyone who disagrees can try to test the depths of "Hidden Dragon Abyss".

Even ambitious individuals like Chen Guiqi and Feng Qi could only stare blankly.

Xie Lingyuan pursed her lips. She felt that if she and Zhou Ming ventured into the "Hidden Dragon Abyss" on the same timeline tomorrow, it would be difficult for her to reach the 50th floor.

……

November 14th, the Beginning of Winter.

It's been a month.

Xie Lingyuan, who had just reached level 64, rushed to the entrance of "Hidden Dragon Abyss" and found that there were even more people gathered around the "Dragon List Stele" today, including Song Wugong, Qin Moyu and Teacher Liu Qiqi.

All eyes were fixed on one name on the list:

Zhou Ming: 135th floor, 18th place.

No one spoke.

I don't know what to say.

In fact, apart from venturing into the "Hidden Dragon Abyss," everyone's attention has been focused on the "Dragon List Stele" during this period, and they would come to see it every morning and evening.

There is only one reason:

Zhou Ming is not only the fastest person to enter the rankings in the history of Baijiang Academy, but he is also surpassing others one by one at a rocket speed, going up five floors every day without fail!

Only those who have personally experienced it know how difficult "Hidden Dragon Abyss" is. For example, Chen Guiqi's brother, Chen Guixian, has just entered the 100th floor from the 97th floor in the past month.

For example, Sufeiyu barely made it from the 109th floor to the 112th floor.

It's no exaggeration to say that Zhou Ming's amazing performance attracted the attention of most people in the entire college's undergraduate department!

The criticism of Zhou Ming has gradually subsided since Teacher Song Wugong personally apologized, after all, no one wants to waste too much time on a cheating healer.

However, Zhou Ming caused a storm within the school.

At this moment, Song Wugong couldn't help but ask Su Feiyu, "Su Feiyu, when Zhou Ming brushed past you on the same floor, did you notice what skill he used?"

Su Feiyu shook her head: "I didn't see him on the same floor. I only saw him resting on the way back, using a 'searcher' to browse the forum. Maybe... he broke in at night!"

Her feelings were very complicated. She was a daughter of a collateral branch of the Su family and knew about Zhou Ming's relationship with the Su family, but at this moment she had to admit that this Zhou Ming was different. Why didn't her family acknowledge him?

Liu Qiqi asked in surprise, "Isn't he going home tonight?"

Liang Bucheng quickly replied, "He hasn't been back to the dorm for a month!"

No one spoke anymore.

How should we comment on this healer?

……

December 13th, winter solstice.

It's been two months.

Today, it snowed lightly, a rare occurrence.

Xie Lingyuan walked to the entrance of "Hidden Dragon Abyss" and found only three people standing next to the "Dragon List Stele": Ye Chen, Feng Qi and Bai Muwan.

The three of them looked up, remaining silent for a long time.

Xie Lingyuan followed their gaze and saw that at the top of the tall stone pillar, in the fourth position:

Zhou Ming: 225th floor, 4th place.

It is second only to Huo Qing's 232nd floor, Bai Jianghe's 230th floor, and Jing Qi's 227th floor.

It's incredibly smooth!

Xie Lingyuan's lips curled slightly in a bitter smile, which was quickly replaced by overwhelming pride as he laughed and asked, "How many records did A-Ming break?"

Ye Chen chuckled and shook his head: "Fastest to enter the rankings, shortest time to surpass 200 floors, and the only support class on the list in history!"

Feng Qi couldn't help but curse, "It's a disgrace to be in the same year as him!"

Xie Lingyuan and the other two looked at him in surprise.

Feng Qi covered his face with his hands: "I'm only on the 55th floor. The 'grafter' on the 46th floor alone took me seventeen days to finish! Being in the same year as him makes me look so useless!"

I rarely praise people, but now I'm starting to admire this guy. Is he on some kind of performance-enhancing drug?!

Ye Chen sighed: "I wonder if Zhou Ming will participate in Black Wind Mountain tomorrow?"

Xie Lingyuan said, "Black Wind Mountain is an excellent opportunity for new students to advance quickly. It is a holy land for those below level four. I participated in Black Wind Mountain last year and successfully entered level three as an order follower."

The whole city will be watching then; it's far more valuable than a monthly exam. I messaged him, but his phone seems to be dead. This guy hasn't been out for two months!

"Don't worry!" Bai Muwan said, "Teacher Qin Moyu has already gone in to inform him!"
