Chapter 162: Rare Instant Death Effect
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
“Let’s resolve this directly! Do I still need to save face for you? Hurry up and finish it! Don’t disgust me!”
Yan Zhantian gave Mo Xiao an impatient look.
Seeing this, Mo Xiao didn’t waste any more words.
He immediately swung his sword towards the Flame Demon Soldier.
[Ding, instant death effect triggered!]
-9,999,999!
A clear system notification sound rang out, and a string of gray text instantly appeared from the Flame Demon Soldier.
Accompanied by a piercing scream, the Flame Demon Soldier turned into scattered sparks and disappeared.
Looking at this absurd number, everyone present, including Yan Zhantian, was stunned and looked shocked.
“9,000,000 damage… Is this for real? Am 1 seeing things?”
“This is a level 60 monster… How can he deal such high damage?!”
“Cheating! He definitely cheated!! 1 don’t believe it!!!”
Listening to the noisy voices below, Chu Feng’s expression was exceptionally complex.
He didn’t care much about the numerical value because he knew that when it came to gray text like this, the damage was at that level.
After all, this was one of the rarest special effects: instant death.
Yan Zhantian, on the side, looked at the number before him with a fascinated expression. “It’s actually an instant death effect. 1 never expected that, aside from Yao Shi’er, you also have a skill with an instant death effect.”
“Does the Archmage Senior have it too?” Mo Xiao asked, somewhat puzzled. “Based on the profession, shouldn’t it be more likely for Senior Sister to have this kind of skill?”
“Senior Sister? Oh… You mean Su Jin’er, right? Although that girl is a Necromancer by profession, she doesn’t actually possess a skill with an instant death effect,” Yan Zhantian truthfully replied. “Her skills are more focused on summoning, with very few direct damage skills, let alone something as dominant as instant death.”
As Yan Zhantian spoke, he also dispelled the barrier around Mo Xiao. “However, even though the instant death effect is powerful, its triggering probability is pitifully low. It’s too difficult to rely on it to pass challenges.”
“Well, 1 know. That’s why I don’t consider instant death as my main skill; it’s just a passive one,” Mo Xiao said.
“Passive?!” Hearing this, Yan Zhantian seemed as if he had heard something unbelievable. He looked at Mo Xiao with a shocked expression. “Is there something wrong?”
Looking at Yan Zhantian’s excited expression, Mo Xiao was also stunned, “Is there a problem?”
“…” Yan Zhantian opened his mouth but didn’t say anything for a while.
After a long pause, he continued, “There’s no problem. 1 just didn’t expect you to have such a buggy passive skill. It’s a good thing.”
With that, Yan Zhantian sighed in relief and looked at Chu Feng beside him. “Chu Feng, there shouldn’t be any problems this time, right?”
“Or do you think I’m helping Mo Xiao cheat?” Yan Zhantian asked Chu Feng in a soft voice.
“No, no. You’re a war god. How could you do something like that?” Chu Feng shook his head repeatedly.
“Alright, then you should announce the results of the assessment,” Yan Zhantian said.
Hearing this, Chu Feng reluctantly nodded and then loudly declared, “The retest is over! Mo Xiao’s retest score is loo points! He’s still first place!
“This assessment was personally supervised by the God of War! No one is allowed to raise objections! Do you understand?”
Hearing Chu Feng’s words, the examinees who had been whispering to each other fell silent.
Seeing this, Yan Zhantian nodded in satisfaction and said, “Alright, everyone has worked hard today. Go rest, and tomorrow’s third round of assessments will be the true test of fairness. 1 look forward to your performances tomorrow! Dismiss!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Zhantian turned into a ball of flames and disappeared.
The examinees also dispersed and left the examination site.
After everyone had left, Chu Feng’s assistant cautiously approached him and asked, “My Lord, what should we do next? Do we need to intervene in tomorrow’s assessment?”
When Chu Feng heard this, he turned his head and looked at him as if he was looking at an idiot. “How are you going to take part in tomorrow’s assessment? Tomorrow is the real college entrance examination!”
“Could it be that you can affect the Heaven-reaching Tower?!” Chu Feng said unhappily, “Besides, don’t you know that the two war gods are on Mo Xiao’s side?! If we still dare to mess around in tomorrow’s assessment, they will definitely kill us first!”
The assistant asked timidly, “Then… what should we do?”
“What else can we do? We can only hope that this kid Mo Xiao won’t be as powerful in the Heaven-reaching Tower. Right now, his attributes and skills are too exaggerated. When he enters the Heaven-reaching Tower, his attributes will decrease, and he should become significantly weaker.”
“What about Young Master Chu Tian? Do we need to help him with anything?” the assistant continued to ask.
“Have you never taken a college entrance examination before? The Heaven-reaching Tower is off-limits to outsiders! Do you understand?” Chu Feng was already quite unhappy because he hadn’t managed to eliminate Mo Xiao. Now, his assistant, who seemed as if he had no common sense, kept asking basic questions, making Chu Feng even more irritable.
“Shut up! 1 don’t want to hear another word from you!”
With that, Chu Feng turned and left, leaving his assistant alone in the square.
Meanwhile, in the sky above the examination site.
“I knew you two would be here,” Yan Zhantian said as he also appeared in the sky, looking at the two. “By the way, Old Yao, 1 remember you have a skill with an instant death effect, right?”
“Yes.” Yao Shier was momentarily stunned, then nodded and said, “Yes, I do. But why do you ask?”
“That kid Mo Xiao seems to have such a skill too. He triggered it just now and instantly killed my summon,” Yan Zhantian said excitedly. “What’s the probability of your skill causing instant death?”
“About 2%, not low,” Yao Shier answered after thinking for a moment. “But my skill mainly relies on its corrosion ability; instant death is more like buying a lottery ticket.”
“Next time, ask Mo Xiao about his probability. I heard his instant death skill is a passive one, and it seems like all his attacks have a chance to trigger it,” Yan Zhantian said.
“Can it be triggered at any time?” Yao Shier asked in surprise. “It looks like he’ll play a huge role on the battlefield in the future.”
“Yes! After all, only abilities like instant death can completely eradicate the Demon Clan!”
Just as the two of them were getting excited, Su Jin’er whispered from the side, “Yan Zhantian, did you forget to ask Chu Feng for the Tears of Time?”
