CHAPTER 98: CHAPTER 98, ALLIANCE INDIVIDUAL MATCH_1

"This is absolutely impossible. The monsters in the King’s Crown Copy are level 40. That’s a whole twenty levels higher, and it’s Hell-level difficulty. No one can get through."

"Hehe... Commander, he couldn’t possibly be your sweetheart, could he?"

"Look at his equipment! It’s actually a King’s Crown Suit. Wearing a King’s Crown Suit at level 30—that’s a Diamond-grade Suit!"

"Huh, it really is a King’s Crown Suit. Looks like Black Phoenix was telling the truth."

"Even so, I can’t believe a Swordsman could conquer the Hell-level difficulty of the King’s Crown Copy."

Faced with everyone’s skepticism, Jiang Chen didn’t want to explain further.

Black Phoenix said, "If you don’t believe it, you can challenge him to a duel."

"I’ll do it!"

A young man stepped forward and said to Jiang Chen, "My name is Wei Zeyang. I am a Dragon Knight. This isn’t a suitable place to fight; let’s go outside for a bout."

The crowd nodded as they looked at Wei Zeyang. Dragon Knights excelled not only in melee combat but also at range, making them an extremely formidable class. With the powerful Support of a dragon, Dragon Knights were widely recognized as strong.

Wei Zeyang continued, "I’m wearing a level 40 Silver-grade Suit. Although it’s not as good as your Diamond-grade one, I’m level 40 and in Heavy Armor. I’m ten levels above you, and my defense is even higher than yours."

Jiang Chen smiled. "Fine, let’s fight then."

The group left the conference room and appeared in the square.

The Divine Envoy watched the two of them. Are they going to fight? To decide who will participate in the solo battle? What class is that young man? A Thin Sword and a robe? A Magic Swordsman, Ranger, or Swordsman?

"What’s going on? Why is there infighting?"

"It’s not infighting. They’re deciding who will participate in the solo battle. Before the Alliance battle, there’s a solo battle, which is also a battle for personal honor."

"That young man is named Wei Zeyang, a Dragon Knight."

"Nonsense, he has already summoned a Giant Dragon, so obviously he’s a Dragon Knight. I wonder who the other one is?"

"A Magic Swordsman, maybe? Doesn’t look like it!"

"I heard he’s a Swordsman."

"What? A Swordsman? What’s a Swordsman doing here?"

Wei Zeyang stepped onto the Giant Dragon, which then soared into the sky. Jiang Chen looked up. Having a pet is indeed great. Whether it’s close combat or long-range, it offers a significant advantage.

"The battle begins!"

Following the command, Wei Zeyang directed the Giant Dragon to circle in the air, observing Jiang Chen for any moves. Jiang Chen just stood silently on the spot. Then, he reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette.

The crowd stared in disbelief. What is he doing? Dude, a duel is going on right now! Why is he even smoking?! He’s simply not taking the Dragon Knight seriously!

Ruo Li murmured quietly, "Her junior is showing off again."

Black Phoenix was also speechless. This guy... This is a battlefield, not a place to smoke. If he wants to smoke, he should pick another place!

Wei Zeyang’s face darkened. This guy is completely disregarding me. Well then, I’ll show him what a real Dragon Knight is!

ROAR!

With a furious roar, the Giant Dragon dived towards Jiang Chen, a yellow light gathering in its mouth.

Jiang Chen glanced at it. Dragon Knights also have an attack range. The shorter the distance, the higher their Offensive Power and the faster their attack speed. But all this is within my expectations.

Jiang Chen’s right hand gripped his sword, watching the Dragon Knight dive.

Without hesitation, Jiang Chen drew his sword.

SHING!

A streak of Sword Qi shot up into the sky. Wei Zeyang was shocked; he had never expected Jiang Chen to unleash Sword Qi. Because it was diving, Wei Zeyang’s Giant Dragon couldn’t react in time.

The Sword Qi struck the Giant Dragon’s wing.

A mist of blood spurted from the Giant Dragon as it plummeted downwards.

"Look out, the Giant Dragon is coming down!"

"Why isn’t it slowing down?"

"Did its wing break? This Dragon Knight is done for!"

"Quick, move away! If that Giant Dragon falls on us, we’ll all be crushed!"

The surrounding people quickly dodged.

BOOM!

The Giant Dragon crashed to the ground. Wei Zeyang stared at its wing, which had snapped in the middle, his heart aching with anguish.

Black Phoenix said, "Ruo Li, hurry and heal it."

"Understood, my Commander."

Ruo Li walked over. After a brief incantation, the wing regenerated at an incredibly fast speed. With a Priest present, any wound could be healed unless it was an instant death; even missing fingers or severed limbs could be restored.

The scene fell into dead silence.

Is this really a Swordsman? Sword Qi dozens of meters long... he’s practically invincible!

Everyone stared at Jiang Chen.

The Divine Envoy smiled. Sword Qi tens of meters long... this Swordsman is very strong. It seems there might be hope for victory in the individual battle after all.

More than a dozen commanders looked at Jiang Chen, their eyes filled with wariness. No wonder Black Phoenix recommended this man; he truly is powerful.

Black Phoenix said, "Alright, Jiang Chen will participate in the individual battle. If anyone else is dissatisfied, they can challenge him."

Wei Zeyang stood up. "I haven’t lost yet!"

Black Phoenix frowned deeply. Not lost? You don’t even have your dragon anymore, and you say you haven’t lost? A dragon is a Dragon Knight’s strongest companion. Without a Giant Dragon, a Dragon Knight is just a warrior, their combat power reduced by at least half.

The others frowned deeply. This person just can’t accept defeat.

Unashamedly, Wei Zeyang continued, "Although I no longer have my dragon, I still possess combat power."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Then let’s battle once more!"

Wei Zeyang strode onto the battlefield, holding a giant sword in his left hand and a Shield in his right. My Shield should be enough to withstand his Sword Qi Attack. As long as I get close, I have a chance of victory.

Wei Zeyang suddenly launched an assault, charging towards Jiang Chen with incredible speed.

"Such incredible speed!"

"Wei Zeyang is truly worthy of being a Dragon Knight. Even without his dragon, he still has the power to fight."

"It looks like he’s awakened a Talent."

"No wonder he’s so fast. Now the Swordsman is in trouble. Once a Knight gets close, a Swordsman is no match."

"The Swordsman is still wearing a robe; its defensive power is inferior to Heavy Armor."

While they were discussing, Jiang Chen drew his sword and slashed.

WHOOSH!

A Sword Qi surged toward Wei Zeyang. Wei Zeyang raised his Shield to block, but in an instant, the Shield split in two. A flash of white light, and he vanished.

The entire arena fell silent.

What just happened? A one-hit kill... with a sword! And Wei Zeyang even had a Shield! Yet it couldn’t withstand a single blow from the Swordsman. Such fearsome Offensive Power! Terrifying!

Black Phoenix spoke up, "Jiang Chen, go easy on them. The battle hasn’t even truly begun, and you’ve already sent away a strong Dragon Knight. Aren’t you reducing our combat strength?"

Jiang Chen smiled and said, "Actually, I only used thirty percent of my Strength."

The crowd was aghast. What the hell... Thirty percent of his Strength was that strong?

「 」

Wei Zeyang reappeared outside, completely dumbfounded. I hadn’t even really started to fight yet! How was I eliminated? I still wanted to contend for honor for the Dragon Zone...

「 」

Black Phoenix said, "Now Jiang Chen will represent the Dragon Zone in the individual battle. Does anyone have any objections?"

"None at all! Brother, I had no idea you were this strong."

"Is this really a Swordsman? I can’t believe it’s true."

"Such strong Offensive Power! He must be a Swordsman who has awakened a Talent. He’s too powerful!"

"With Jiang Chen here, maybe we can take first place in the individual battle!"

"Indeed! With Jiang Chen’s Sword Qi, no Dragon Knight will be a match. And as for Angels, they’re just trash."

"Haha... This time, victory for the Dragon Zone Union is in sight!"

At that moment, the Divine Envoy approached.

He smiled and said, "Black Phoenix, the individual battle is about to begin. Have everyone prepare and head to the central area to participate."

"Yes, Lord Divine Envoy."

The Divine Envoy turned to Jiang Chen. "You are very strong. Good luck."

"I will," Jiang Chen replied.
