Chapter 459: God Ling is Awesome! Selfless Contribution.
On the way back.
Chen Wei and the others fell into an extremely strange and awkward silence.
Recalling their earlier arrogance in Dean Zhou's office.
As well as their subsequent disdain and disregard for that non-specialist.
Their faces burned with shame.
Especially Chen Wei and Ding Xuejia.
The former, self-righteous, had previously boasted that Dean Zhou was spoiling that non-specialist.
The latter, hot-tempered and prideful, had come thinking that the legion commanders were overestimating this non-specialist.
But now.
All five of them were collectively silenced.
Deep down, they really didn't want to believe that the horrific scene in the Poison Mist Mountains was caused by that non-specialist alone.
But the facts were laid out before them, and no matter how stubborn they were, they had to accept it.
Thus.
The five returned to Tianyan Academy in awkward silence.
"Let's go, we should see Dean Zhou."
Zhao Ling suddenly spoke up.
Chen Wei, Ding Xuejia, and the other two paused, looking at Zhao Ling.
"Why are you looking at me? Let's go! We need to explain the situation to Dean Zhou and take the guy who embarrassed us to the frontline battlefield tomorrow!"
"Only the freaks in the fourth-year reserve army can suppress someone like that. We shouldn't even bother."
Zhao Ling said bluntly.
The four: "..."
They almost forgot.
When they came, all five of them had acted high and mighty, claiming they wanted to experience this dual champion's strength, maybe even give him a few pointers.
Now look.
Experience and give pointers? Yeah, right!
Thinking about the carnage in the Poison Mist Mountains, caused by that non-specialist while enduring debuffs alone, none of the five dared to entertain any thoughts of picking a fight anymore.
What a joke!
They were just arrogant, not stupid!
Knowing full well that this dual champion was such a monster, continuing to challenge him would just be asking for humiliation!
"Let's go, let's go... I don't even want to stay at Tianyan Academy for another second! Even a first-year could beat us down!"
The five hurriedly made their way to Dean Zhou's office.
However, just as they were about to enter the main teaching building, named 'Destiny.'
They saw Dean Zhou and a teacher quickly walking toward them.
"Hmm? You're back?"
Dean Zhou asked with a smile.
What the dean didn't know was...
That smile on his old face seemed so mocking in the eyes of Chen Wei and the others.
After all, the five of them had also gone to Dean Zhou to get approval to enter the outdoor resource secret realm.
So, of course, the old dean knew what these five had been up to.
"Yeah, we're back..."
Chen Wei nodded sheepishly.
"Good, good, glad you're back..."
"Oh, by the way, since you're back, you can come with me to meet the dual champion you've been looking for."
"He just broke the record in both the 'Purgatory' and 'Alien Nest' secret realms, triggered hidden stages, and obtained two identical S-grade skill books."
"I'm heading over now to register and manage the situation, you should come too."
The old dean didn't notice the awkward expressions on their faces and motioned for them to follow, then turned and left.
Watching the dean's retreating figure.
The five exchanged glances, their expressions filled with complexity.
They had never even interacted with this dual champion.
But for some reason, after everything that had happened, they felt a guilty unease about meeting him.
That feeling of guilt was like they had been secretly badmouthing someone, only to find out it was all a misunderstanding, and now the person knew they'd been talking behind their back—so awkward.
Even though the person in question probably had no idea who they were.
But that didn't stop them from feeling uncomfortable.
Of course...
What made them feel even worse...
Was that while they were stuck in the Poison Mist Mountains, the guy had broken records in three secret realms, triggered hidden stages, and claimed extra rewards.
"There are always people stronger than you, skies beyond skies, I need to rein in my arrogance and pride..."
The five of them silently thought to themselves.
The teacher who had previously counseled Chen Wei could never have imagined...
That the mental issue she worried about in her student was so easily resolved by Ling Zhan.
And the key point was, Ling Zhan himself didn't even know!
......
......
"Damn! All hail God Ling!"
"The total time for clearing three secret realms is 10 minutes and 44 seconds!"
"That's shorter than the best clear time for any one of those secret realms in history!"
"Holy crap! The time it takes others to clear one dungeon, God Ling cleared three!"
"..."
As Chen Wei and the others followed Dean Zhou into the area.
Their ears were immediately filled with the cheers and praises from the students.
Everyone was calling him 'God Ling' with every breath.
If it were before, the five of them would have sneered at their junior students' cheers and said:
"God Ling? More like fraud Ling!"
But now...
God Ling is awesome!
God Ling really is awesome!
There was no need for Dean Zhou to introduce him.
They didn't even need to look at his photo.
As soon as Chen Wei and the others stepped through the door, their eyes locked onto that tall, cold figure in black and white.
This person was just too outstanding.
Handsome and impeccable features, a perfectly balanced and strong physique that men and women alike would admire, and his long hair streaked with white, matching perfectly with his black and white academy robe.
Paired with a chillingly cold demeanor that made everyone around feel an instinctive awe.
There was no doubt this person was the dual champion they had come to find—Ling Zhan.
When Dean Zhou arrived, the cheering students quickly quieted down.
Dean Zhou approached Ling Zhan with a pleased expression.
He had thought that Ling Zhan wouldn't return from the Poison Mist Mountains and Thunder Pool Ruins until late afternoon.
He didn't expect him to be so fast.
What pleased him even more was...
The even more terrifying aura Ling Zhan now carried!
Level 65!
In just one day, he had gone from level 58 to level 65!
He had accomplished in one day what others couldn't achieve in months or even years!
"Ling Zhan, routine procedure."
Dean Zhou said with a gentle smile.
Ling Zhan nodded, pulling out the two extra S-grade skill books from his storage ring.
One was an S-grade skill book for the hidden class Ghostblade: Dark Flame.
Its effect was similar to the S-grade divine skill 'Sunday' that Ling Zhan already had.
The difference was that 'Dark Flame' only inflicted a severe injury effect, while 'Sunday' applied the incurable 'Death Sentence' effect.
The other was also an S-grade skill book for a hidden class.
It could only be learned by those in the Alloy Warrior class: 'Supernova Explosion.'
Since Ling Zhan couldn't learn it due to class restrictions, he decided to donate it to the academy.
Of course...
It was a completely selfless donation.
At this point, the academy's points system didn't mean much to Ling Zhan, who was about to head to the frontline battlefield.
It was also a way for him to give back to the academy.
Ling Zhan's selfless contribution moved everyone present.
Even though neither of the skill books matched the students' classes, they were still S-grade skill books!
No one expected that God Ling would just donate them like that!
Even Chen Wei and the others were deeply impressed by Ling Zhan's generosity and nonchalance.
