Chapter 447: Special Prejudice

Chapter 447: Special Prejudice

After Dean Zhou hung up the phone.

He turned to look at the five figures standing before him.

These five individuals were very young, three men and two women.

Each of them wore distinct, fitted military uniforms with different emblems on their chests.

Notably, all five were not only striking in appearance but also exuded an extraordinary presence.

The men were handsome, the women beautiful, and they radiated a chilling aura that seemed to carry the scent of blood.

Even more surprising was the aura they emitted!

They were all level 79, third-tier powerhouses!

Just one step away from reaching level 80!

"Dean Zhou, according to the legion commander's instructions, we were supposed to meet that non-specialist today."

"But since you've asked, we'll return in two days."

The young man standing in the center nodded and said.

Zhou Hongfu looked at the young man.

This was a senior student who had graduated from Tianyan Academy.

Previously, this student had been rather mediocre.

But after that world-shaking battle, this once unremarkable student had undergone a transformation, as if reborn into someone entirely new.

He was now part of a special-grade legion.

In the Dragon Nation's specialized military forces, there were five special-grade legions.

Only those who had shown exceptional performance on the battlefield were eligible to join.

These five young individuals came from different schools and different legions.

They were here to represent the five special-grade legions to extend an invitation to Ling Zhan.

But it was clear from their expressions when mentioning the word "non-specialist" that there was no genuine eagerness or desire to recruit talent.

Zhou Hongfu wasn't surprised.

He too had emerged from the frontlines, a level-100, fourth-tier powerhouse.

He understood the atmosphere and unspoken rules of the frontline battlefield.

To outsiders, the title of double champion in the Global Beast War Tournament was indeed impressive! Remarkable!

But in the eyes of those who had experienced life and death and witnessed countless scenes of brutal slaughter, it was just a bit more special than an ordinary student!

That's all!

Why, you might ask?

Take the recent world-shaking battle as an example!

Across all frontline battlefields of the Forbidden Lands, the fourth-year reserve forces sacrificed a total of 700 million people!

Among them was the previous Global Beast War Tournament's individual champion!

It was said that the individual champion died on the Takamagahara coastal frontline!

Slain by a Sky Ghost General on the spot, with even their source spirit body obliterated in an instant.

This highly anticipated individual champion died in an incredibly regrettable way.

Stories of prodigies falling on the battlefield were not uncommon; they happened every year.

So, for these "veterans" who had survived the battlefield, so-called prodigies and champions…

Were just seedlings who had yet to experience the true brutality of combat.

On the battlefield, all lives are equal!

No matter how talented or impressive you are, survival is what matters!

If you can't survive, even if you win every job-changing tournament in the world, it means nothing!

"Did your legion commanders mention where they plan to assign Ling Zhan?"

Zhou Hongfu asked the student with a serious expression.

"Most likely Takamagahara."

The young man replied, "The situation on the Ten Thousand Demons Abyss frontline has stabilized, but the Takamagahara frontline remains dire. Various nations intend to send this batch of third- and fourth-year students there; it will be an excellent training ground."

"The Demon Nest, considering the unique conditions of the Free Federation, is not where the commanders plan to send Ling Zhan."

"And the mist in the Terror Mountains continues to expand, but no monsters have appeared, making it unsuitable for honing skills."

"So most likely, he'll be sent with a team to the Takamagahara frontline."

Zhou Hongfu nodded slightly at this.

This was an expected answer.

The five solemn-faced young men and women, seeing the dean's silence, sensibly prepared to leave.

Knock, knock, knock.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Dean, Ling Zhan has applied for access to two outdoor leveling areas, and it requires your approval."

A teacher walked in and placed a document in front of Zhou Hongfu.

The mention of "Ling Zhan" made the five young individuals raise their eyebrows.

Recently, they had heard this name multiple times from their respective legion commanders.

Of course...

These senior students were also curious about this non-specialist.

However, most of their time was spent fighting and honing their skills on the battlefield, so they hadn't had the chance to pay attention to detailed information about this non-specialist.

Now, sent here by their legion commanders, they were not entirely pleased.

To them, every second spent fighting was a second gained in experience.

Additionally...

They had all experienced the Global Beast War Tournament.

Back then, they were ordinary, mediocre.

They couldn't even make it onto the stage.

They could only watch the prodigies on the arena receiving cheers from the audience through a TV or computer screen.

At that time, they thought, "If only I could surpass these prodigies one day."

Now, it seemed they had fulfilled their former dreams.

They had surpassed many of those prodigies, becoming members of special-grade legions they could be proud of.

Moreover, recently, the previous individual champion of the Global Beast War Tournament had died on the Takamagahara battlefield.

And every year, there were prodigies who met their end on the battlefield.

As a result, these five members of the special-grade legions harbored some prejudice against the so-called "double champion."

At this moment.

Hearing the name again, they naturally paid attention.

Zhou Hongfu looked at the document in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.

"This little guy... really pushes himself."

What was displayed before him was an application for access to two outdoor maps.

One was called "Poison Mist Mountains."

The other was "Thunder Pool Ruins."

These two outdoor maps were adjacent.

They were inhabited by ferocious Two-Winged Poison Dragons and Two-Winged Thunder Dragons.

Both were sub-dragons above level 65.

The bosses among them were level 70.

Such high-level outdoor map resources were controlled by Tianyan Academy, and approval was only possible from someone of dean level.

The five young men and women standing before the desk, driven by curiosity, leaned forward for a closer look.

When they saw that the self-reported level of this non-specialist on the application was only 58.

They immediately frowned.

What?

This non-specialist, who was highly regarded by their legion commanders...

Was only level 58!?

This…
