My career has infinite upgrades.

Chapter 92 Shadow Assassin, Zhu Xingtong's Challenge!

Everyone was stunned; they hadn't expected Zhao Tian's challenge to Gu Qing to end like this.

"No, it was over in seconds?"

"Gu Qing didn't even summon a single undead. This is clearly a sign of disrespect towards Zhao Tian."

"Now Zhao Tianzhen has become a clown, having failed twice in his challenges against Gu Qing."

"I'm dying of laughter. Look at Zhao Tian, ​​his Dao heart is shattered. Now Gu Qingcheng is his inner demon."

Gu Qing didn't even glance at Zhao Tian before returning to her seat.

First defeat Wang Jian, then swiftly defeat Zhao Tian.

Gu Qing acted as if he hadn't used his full strength from beginning to end.

The freshmen who had been eyeing the first place position all looked away.

Even a few high-level professionals who were eager to try their luck quietly retreated back into the crowd.

The battle on the arena continued, but a space became empty around Gu Qing.

No one was willing to go up and give away another chance to challenge.

A moment later, a young man dressed in a gray-black outfit stepped out of the crowd.

He was rather thin, holding two short daggers in his hands, and his presence was rather unremarkable.

If he didn't come out on his own initiative, others wouldn't even notice him.

"Condensing air?"

"A top-ranked S-class Shadow Assassin, is he also going to challenge Gu Qing?"

Leng Ningfeng looked at Gu Qing and said, "I challenge you."

The freshmen who had scattered immediately gathered back.

The assassin is different from Zhao Tian and Wang Jian.

They don't need to fight their way through the undead army head-on; they just need to find an opening to bypass all the summons and go straight for the summoner.

The Shadow Assassin excels at stealth and burst damage.

If Leng Ningfeng can carry out a fatal assassination, the top spot will be taken by someone else.

Gu Qing glanced at him and nodded, saying, "Okay."

The two stepped onto the ring at the same time.

The referee confirmed the challenge was valid, and the white protective light curtain slowly rose.

The moment the light curtain closed, Leng Ningfeng's shadow swayed slightly.

The person has disappeared.

There were no footsteps.

There was no breathing sound.

There wasn't even the sound of the fabric rubbing together.

It seemed as if Gu Qing was the only one left on the stage.

Gu Qing raised his hand and opened the Netherworld Space, where black mist spread out along the ground.

Gu Yi stepped forward first, followed closely by dozens of undead guards, who quickly formed several layers of defense.

Bone blades facing outwards, chains laid out on the ground.

One of the undead guards noticed a shadow flash by to the side and immediately swung his sword in a horizontal slash.

The bone blade fell, shattering only a faint shadow.

The undead guards on the other side immediately turned around, and several bone blades slashed across each other at the same time, but still failed to hit Leng Ningfeng's true form.

"Can't catch it!"

"Once the Shadow Assassin enters stealth mode, ordinary senses simply cannot lock onto him."

"What's the use of having a lot of undead? If you can't find anyone, filling the arena with them is just making them sitting ducks."

A cold glint flashed past Gu Qing's left side.

Click!

The two undead guards had barely turned around when their necks snapped simultaneously, and their heads fell to the ground.

Leng Ningfeng's figure appeared for only half a breath before disappearing back into the shadows.

Bone charged forward with his sword, but all he struck was an afterimage.

The next moment, another cracking sound came from the right flank.

One undead guard had his sternum broken, and another's arm, which was holding a knife, was severed cleanly by the dagger.

The condenser fan only lasts a very short time each time.

They strike and retreat immediately, never engaging in direct confrontation with Gu Yi.

The new students who were close to the arena instinctively took a few steps back. Only then did they realize how terrifying the condensing wind was.

He's not just good at hiding.

He could clearly see where the undead legion was strong and where it was weak, and which two guards would leave gaps when they turned around.

A series of cold lights flashed.

The condensing wind constantly changed direction, using short attacks to trigger the undead formation.

The guards around Gu Qing turned around together, and the originally tight defense gradually showed gaps.

The noise from the spectator area grew louder and louder.

"Gu Qing's spirit simply couldn't keep up with his speed."

"As long as the condensing wind continues to wear down, sooner or later we will find the weakest point of the soul armor."

"This is the true way to counter summoner classes."

The murmurs spread from the edge of the ring.

Gu Qing did not send any more undead.

He glanced at the constantly changing formation and issued only one order.

"Spread outwards."

Gu Yi immediately led the undead guards to retreat, deliberately increasing the distance between them.

A gap suddenly appeared in front of Gu Qing.

Almost at the same time, the shadow behind him twitched slightly.

The condenser appeared silently.

The dagger was thrust straight at the back of the neck!

The moment the killing intent touched his skin, Gu Qing dodged the blade to the side, and the Netherworld Soul Scythe swept out with a backhand.

Leng Ningfeng raised another dagger to parry.

clang!

The scythe and dagger clashed, and a ghostly blue light seeped into Leng Ningfeng's body along the weapons.

Leng Ningfeng froze, a look of pain flashing across his face.

Soul attack!

Leng Ningfeng instantly retreated and disappeared again.

Gu Qing's Netherworld Soul Scythe struck nothing.

This guy is indeed very good at hiding, and he's extremely fast.

Gu Qing did not choose to ask Melissand for help, even though that would have allowed her to directly pinpoint the other party's location.

Gu Qing wanted to gain more combat experience against top-tier assassins.

With a wave of his hand, the surrounding undead began to launch a relentless attack on the arena.

No matter how strong one's stealth abilities are, as long as one is not hidden in space, one can still be attacked.

The new students, who had previously believed that the condenser had the upper hand, all fell silent.

The condenser winds have clearly noticed this as well.

He did not continue to disrupt the undead line, and even withdrew his last trace of killing intent.

Several illusory figures flashed past the undead guards.

With a swing of his blade, Gu cleaved through the crowd, and the remaining undead were also drawn away by the afterimage.

The real condensed wind swept across the ground, bursting through the moment the two chains intersected, and in one breath, it passed the last line of defense.

He appeared directly in front of Gu Qing.

The dagger thrust upwards, avoiding the thickest part of the soul armor—the chest and abdomen—and aimed straight for the throat!

The attack was so fast that only a flash of cold light remained.

The sharp blade pierced Gu Qing's throat with precision.

The spectator area fell silent instantly.

hum!

A ripple spread across the black soul armor.

The dagger stopped in front of Gu Qing's neck, unable to go any further.

Leng Ningfeng's expression changed.

Gu Qing never revealed any flaws from beginning to end.

He deliberately left this gap.

Gu Qing raised her hand and grabbed Leng Ningfeng's wrist, which was holding the dagger.

Swift Step!

The stone slab beneath their feet cracked, and the last bit of distance between them was instantly erased.

Leng Ningfeng tried to retreat into the shadows, but Gu Qing held his wrist firmly.

The Netherworld Soul Scythe slashed at point-blank range.

The scythe failed to pierce his armor, but the soul impact entered his consciousness first.

Leng Ningfeng froze, and his vision went black for a brief moment.

By the time he regained consciousness, the second scythe was already at his neck.

The white light fell first.

The arena's magic array determined a fatal attack, teleporting Leng Ningfeng away.

From the moment the dagger pierced his throat to Leng Ningfeng's defeat, it was only a matter of two breaths.

The entire spectator area erupted in cheers.

After landing, Leng Ningfeng quickly regained his footing. He glanced at Gu Qing, put away his two daggers, and nodded to him.

"I lost."

The high priest waved his staff, and healing light fell upon the two.

Wang Jian's counter-attack, Zhao Tian's burst of damage, and Leng Ningfeng's assassination attempt.

Three high-level professionals took turns entering the arena, but none of them could truly break through Gu Qing's defense.

Control the field, close combat, counterattack.

Every ability Gu Qing displayed far exceeded everyone's understanding of necromancy-type professionals.

Everyone's expression changed when they looked at Gu Qing; no one believed that Gu Qing's top score in the college entrance examination was undeserved.

As Gu Qing stepped off the stage, the people around him quickly made way for him.

Seeing Gu Qing, no one dared to challenge him anymore.

"I was being cynical before, thinking that Gu Qing's top score in the college entrance examination was solely due to that level 30 Desert Undead Dragon. Now it seems that Gu Qing's strength is still quite formidable."

"That's right, I had the same thought before, but I didn't expect Gu Qing to be this strong."

"Do you think anyone else will challenge Gu Qing?"

The moment these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

If anyone could challenge Gu Qing, it would probably be Zhu Xingtong, Zhu Miaolian, and Lin Qinghan.

Just as everyone's attention fell on the three of them, Zhu Xingtong stepped out.

"Gu Qing! I challenge you!"

An uproar erupted around them; everyone was stunned, and then the entire north playground burst into a frenzy.

"Holy crap! Zhu Xingtong is challenging Gu Qing! I never expected that."

"Let's go! I've been wanting to see them fight for ages. Who do you think will win?"

"It's hard to say. Gu Qing is very strong, but Zhu Xingtong is also quite powerful. It's really hard to say who will win or lose."

"I still think Zhu Xingtong will win. I heard that Zhu Xingtong has been undergoing secret training at the Holy See for about ten days in the past month. She must have some trump cards up her sleeve."

All eyes were on Gu Qing and Zhu Xingtong, eagerly anticipating the start of the arena challenge.

At this moment, Gu Qing and Zhu Xingtong had already arrived on the arena.

A white light curtain rose up, completely enveloping the entire arena.

Zhu Xingtong stood quietly in place, holding a silver-white staff.

Gu Qing looked at Zhu Xingtong in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly.

He could sense the powerful light energy contained within Zhu Xingtong's body.

This woman is not simple.

Holy light began to emanate from Zhu Xingtong's body, not bursting outwards, but flowing slowly along her body.

The light looked soft, yet it remained steadfast and never dissipated.

The entire arena fell within the range of that power.

Gu Qing did not open the undead space.

Standing opposite Zhu Xingtong, he felt such a clear sense of pressure from his fellow freshmen for the first time.

Wang Jian's Thorn Armor was primarily defensive.

Zhao Tian's burst of blood energy was fierce, but not stable enough.

Leng Ningfeng is adept at concealing his killing intent; once his true form is exposed, his direct combat strength will be greatly reduced.

Zhu Xingtong is different.

She simply stood there, and there was no obvious flaw in her demeanor.

Gu Qing's right hand hung at his side, his mental energy already being mobilized within his body, but he was in no hurry to condense the Netherworld Soul Scythe.

Zhu Xingtong also did not launch an attack.

She had witnessed Zhao Tian being defeated by Yi Lian, and she also saw how Gu Qing deliberately created openings to force Leng Ningfeng out of the shadows.

That soul scythe can bypass the body's defenses and directly harm the soul.

Once Gu Qing gets close, the Holy Light Defense might not have enough time to fully deploy.

Their eyes met across the distance.

No one moved.

The arguments outside the venue gradually subsided.

The freshmen, who were arguing about who would win just a moment ago, were now all staring at the ring, even their breathing became lighter.

The referee confirmed that both sides were ready and raised his hand to wave downwards.

"The competition begins!"

Zhu Xingtong did not release holy light to suppress the enemy as everyone expected, nor did she summon a light spear to launch a preemptive attack.

She first held the silver-white staff horizontally in front of her.

Holy light shone forth one after another.

One.

Two paths.

Three paths.

Several layers of holy light defense unfolded in succession, covering her entire body.
