Zhou Yan possessed numerous tricks, wielding his all-attribute spellcasting abilities with masterful skill.
He would restrict his opponent's speed with gravity, entangle their movements with vines, and shroud their vision in darkness. Should an opponent break through the curtain of darkness, he'd unleash a blinding light spell to sear their eyes.
Following this, colossal stones would descend, accompanied by icy assaults, thunderous strikes, and tempestuous winds. The monsters were rendered incapable of attacking Zhou Yan, relegated to a state of passive suffering.
Occasionally, Zhou Yan would employ combined spells, such as lightning and fire, or ice and storm. He even resorted to creating a quagmire with earth collapse and gravity spells, effectively drowning the monsters. In the end, only the sight of monsters struggling in the mud and suffocating to death remained.
Once the monsters perished, Zhou Yan would retrieve their corpses from the mire, cleanse them with water spells, and then collect the monsters and the treasure chests they dropped.
Approaching a chest, he opened it to find a hero summon token of RR quality. Zhou Yan was pleased.
Zhou Yan continued towards the next treasure location. He was now the sole remaining individual in the trial grounds; all the soldiers he had dispatched had fallen.
However, upon witnessing Zhou Yan's combat prowess, all the students fell silent. They had no idea what his profession was.
Zhou Yan's melee skills were also impressive, but against these powerful monsters, he only utilized a bewildering array of all-attribute spells, each seemingly more diverse than the last, leaving them wide-eyed.
Typically, individuals could only specialize in one elemental magic. Yet, Zhou Yan, with his powerful melee and all-attribute magic, was a mystery. What profession was he?
Even the instructors shook their heads. The world of lords boasted millions of professions; how could they possibly identify his?
They looked towards Chu Luoyan. If Zhou Yan didn't emerge, would this trial never end?
But Chu Luoyan desired Zhou Yan's demise, and Zhou Yan could not be allowed to live.
Chu Luoyan was determined to eliminate Zhou Yan, as the time was drawing near, and others were waiting for him.
Thus, Chu Luoyan began to cheat.
And she did so openly, without any pretense.
This was Chu Luoyan. She cheated, and who dared object?
Step forward!
She directly cast a dazzling object in Zhou Yan's path to lure him. Zhou Yan was naturally drawn to it; the object clearly possessed significance. Thus, Zhou Yan walked straight into the trap.
As he neared the treasure, Zhou Yan discovered that hundreds of level-capped, diamond-quality monsters surrounded him.
Upon seeing these monsters, Zhou Yan's mind went blank. (゜-゜) ???
Zhou Yan immediately began to attack, unleashing area-of-effect spells, causing meteors to rain down from the sky.
However, Zhou Yan was quickly forced to flee, with no time for further attacks.
Hundreds of powerful diamond-quality bosses, each with their own unique strengths and abilities, also wielded various spells.
Ice, storms, vines, fire, gravity—the situation was eerily similar to his own.
Zhou Yan unleashed his own spell, targeting one of the monsters.
The flames struck the monster, but...
This monster was inexplicably immune to spell attacks, leaving Zhou Yan stunned.
Zhou Yan attempted to use spatial magic to escape, only to find that space itself was sealed. Zhou Yan's face darkened; he already suspected he was being deliberately targeted.
Indeed, after he had used various spells against monsters, it was now his turn to be bound and restrained, pummeled by various powerful bosses.
Zhou Yan finally experienced the treatment he had subjected the monsters to. Strangely, upon seeing Zhou Yan so thoroughly beaten, the students seemed quite pleased.
In the end, Zhou Yan was obliterated by the terrifying energy unleashed by these monsters.
All the students turned their gaze towards Chu Luoyan. If they couldn't see such blatant targeting, they would be idiotic.
However, they supported Chu Luoyan.
Well fought!
Brilliantly fought!
Exceedingly well fought!
Zhou Yan, his face dark, reappeared outside the trial grounds and vociferously exclaimed, "A fix! A fix! The trial grounds are openly rigging the game! I demand an investigation, I protest, I am unsatisfied!"
Everyone remained silent, watching Zhou Yan perform his solitary act, utterly disregarding his words.
They knew this was a targeted attack on Zhou Yan, but they believed it was justified.
Even Ye Bufan, Zhou Yan's close friend, felt that Chu Luoyan was brilliant for eliminating Zhou Yan in the trial grounds!
Serves you right for being so smug, for holding out so long, for being so strong.
Chu Luoyan appeared before Zhou Yan in an instant. Zhou Yan barely had time to react before he spun around and collided with her.
Zhou Yan found himself staring directly into Chu Luoyan's eyes, their heights matching. At that moment, they were pressed tightly together, their lips only millimeters apart. Zhou Yan could even see the... hairs within Chu Luoyan's nostrils.
He could also feel the breath she exhaled.
Hmm, she had eaten durian.
However, Zhou Yan felt he had touched two soft, yielding...
Everyone was dumbfounded!
Zhou Yan himself was stunned!
Chu Luoyan herself was shocked!
Then, Chu Luoyan grabbed Zhou Yan by the hair with extreme speed. She had intended to leave but suddenly stopped and announced to everyone, "The trial has concluded!"
Zhou Yan: "Yamete!"
With a "whoosh," Chu Luoyan, still pulling Zhou Yan's hair, departed.
The crowd: "ヾ(´･･｀｡)ノ(￣ー￣)(ノ￣ー￣)ノノ(º_ºノ)......"
"Do you think Zhou Yan will make it back alive?" one student asked curiously.
"He probably... won't die, right..." another student sounded unsure.
"He's too bold, daring to take liberties with Elder Chu Luoyan, and then to insult her like that!"
"Zhou Yan had no idea Chu Luoyan would appear before him; it was a complete accident."
"But he did take liberties with Elder Chu Luoyan."
"He was just inches away from kissing her."
"The key point is that he already touched her."
"Kid, you're looking for death! Aren't you afraid Elder Chu Luoyan will chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"
This frightened the student who had spoken earlier, and he quickly covered his mouth, glancing cautiously around. Seeing no one, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The instructors exchanged glances and said, "I know nothing."
"What just happened?"
"Nothing, the trial is over, isn't it?"
"It's over, it's over. Everyone go home and do whatever you were doing."
