CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35, THE SWORDSMAN WITH 30 METERS OF SWORD QI, TERRIBLE LIKE THIS _1

Wang Yao raged, "Who said Jiang Chen is a cheater? Stand up!"

Startled, Meng Zhenghao looked around to find everyone looking at him; Wang Yao’s gaze also rested on him.

Gathering his courage, Meng Zhenghao stepped forward. "It was me."

Song Ji’s expression changed drastically. Damn it, why Meng Zhenghao? Why did this guy have to be the one causing trouble?

Wang Yao interrogated with a fierce tone, "Do you know where you are? This is a sacred place of the Dragon Nation, a place where countless students take their college entrance examinations! What gives you the audacity to falsely accuse Jiang Chen of cheating? What gives you the gall to incite a disturbance and disrupt the order of the examination hall?"

Facing Wang Yao’s stern interrogation, Meng Zhenghao defended, "Jiang Chen is a Swordsman, a D-level grade Swordsman. How could he possibly pass the 28th floor? Not even the SS-grade Dragon Knight Team or the Angel Team have passed it! If he wasn’t cheating, what else could it be? How could a D-level Swordsman pass without cheating?"

Wang Yao raged, "Is that your doubt? Is this the reason you led the disturbance?"

"I’m not leading a disturbance! We all struggled hard to get through the tower, some of us almost paying with our lives, but he managed to pass the 27th floor by cheating. We just want fairness!"

"You keep saying he cheated based only on your speculation. Just because you couldn’t pass it yourself, you accuse others of cheating."

Song Ji stepped up. "Meng Zhenghao, stop it. Jiang Chen didn’t cheat. Get back to your place."

"I don’t believe it."

Wang Yao nodded. "Good, I know you don’t believe it. I’m aware that many of you students standing here might also have your doubts. Anyone who doesn’t believe, step forward, and I’ll show you how he really passed the 24th floor."

He continued, "Anyone who wants to see, step forward. But understand the consequence: annulment of your examination qualification, deletion of your student record, and a permanent ban from further university education."

As the President of the Xihai City Guild Alliance, Wang Yao was furious. These rookies, barely out of their novice period, had no concept of harsh reality or true strength.

Upon hearing this, Meng Zhenghao’s face paled. Annulment of his examination qualification. He knew what this meant: being barred from entering any university for further education. This was undoubtedly the most severe punishment. What was the point of the assessment, if not to enter a Top Academy for advanced study? In these Top Academies, students not only received guidance from instructors but could also exchange Scores for equipment. These elite academies also housed top-tier Forging Masters and Tailors. The equipment forged by these top-tier masters reached Silver-grade and above.

Song Ji frowned deeply. This punishment was severe.

The room fell silent. They had merely joined the uproar; none wanted to risk their examination qualifications by following Meng Zhenghao.

Could it be that Jiang Chen isn’t really a Swordsman? Is he a hidden class? Impossible, that just couldn’t be, Meng Zhenghao puzzled internally.

Standing below, Wang Gang chuckled coldly. "This guy’s in for it now, daring to question if my boss cheated. Who gave him the nerve?"

Seeing no one come forward, Wang Yao ordered, "Examiners, play the footage of Jiang Chen passing the 24th floor. Let these people see for themselves what true power is, instead of acting like a bunch of fools and blaming others for cheating."

On the big screen, Li Yunxi and Shangguan Yunqiu stared unblinkingly, curious about Jiang Chen’s true class, which seemed so outrageously powerful. Meanwhile, thousands of other eyes were glued to the screen.

The footage showed Jiang Chen, Wang Gang, and Murong Xue entering the 24th floor. First, Jiang Chen cast Magic Light Shield on himself.

At this moment, the thousands of students were stunned.

"Isn’t he a Swordsman? How can he use a Magic Light Shield?"

"What’s going on? Could he be a Magician and not a Swordsman?"

"That’s impossible! If he were a Magician, he wouldn’t use a sword, would he? Surely, he’d use a Magic Wand or a similar weapon."

"Look at the monsters! They’re Level 24 Demonic Beings with HP as high as 30,000!"

"Ten Demonic Beings! How did he manage to clear them within a minute?"

Thousands of students stared at the screen.

Then, when Jiang Chen was thirty meters away from the Demonic Beings, he swiftly drew his sword.

SWOOSH... A beam of sword light shot out.

Above a Demonic Being’s head, "-8,000 HP" clearly appeared.

"Oh my God, what powerful Offensive Power! How can his Offensive Power be so formidable? Shaving off 8,000 HP in an instant!"

"Damn it! Who said he was a Magician? He’s clearly a Swordsman!"

"Instantaneously casting Sword Qi from 30 meters away! That’s even more terrifying than a Magician!"

"Too horrifying! This guy is even more terrifying than the Demonic Beings!"

"With 8,000 damage per hit, he only needs four strikes to kill one!"

At this moment, thousands were unbelievably shocked. This was Jiang Chen. Was this what a Swordsman comparable to an SS Class looked like?

Shangguan Yunqiu watched this scene, completely stunned. Such dreadful Sword Qi. She was an SS-Class Angel, yet his Sword Qi was stronger, his attack range more terrifying. Shangguan Yunqiu realized in that instant: he was the Black-robed man who had single-handedly cleared the Nightmare-level Underworld Altar!

Li Yunxi couldn’t help but exclaim, "So strong! I never expected such a formidable class to exist. And this person didn’t even have a Priest, daring to challenge the tower with just an Archer and a Knight!"

Meng Zhenghao saw this scene and was filled with regret.

How could this be? Wasn’t he a D-level Swordsman? Since when had D-level Swordsmen become so formidable?

Wang Gang mocked, "This is just the beginning. They’ll probably be scared to death by what comes next. My boss hasn’t even gotten serious yet!"

The ten Demonic Beings roared furiously and charged toward Jiang Chen.

Just then, Jiang Chen activated Sword Qi Cross Mode.

A hundred Sword Auras swirled around Jiang Chen. As the ten Demonic Beings drew near, they were instantly torn to shreds and killed.

Thousands of students witnessed this. This guy was terrifying beyond belief.

"What was that Skill just now? So terrifying! He’s definitely not an ordinary Swordsman."

"No, he’s definitely a Swordsman. Didn’t you see the Sword Qi? Sword Qi is the hallmark of a Swordsman. He’s not just any Swordsman, though; he has a hidden class, and hidden classes are extremely powerful."

"This is insane! Those were ten Demonic Beings, each with 30,000 HP, and he insta-killed them all!"

"This student is horrifyingly powerful!"

"Comparisons are odious! Look at his skills—those are god-tier Skills!"

Inside Shangguan Yunqiu’s heart, ten thousand "grass mud horses" stampeded...

A terrifying Swordsman. Terrifying Offensive Power. Stronger than her, an SS-grade Angel.

Shangguan Yunqiu said, "He must be that Black-robed man."

"Yes, that’s him. Such powerful Skills! No wonder he could solo the Underworld Altar in just half an hour. He could probably even insta-kill the Underworld King!"

In the video, Jiang Chen looked back. "Can you guys hurry up?"

"Boss, don’t you need to recover?"

"No need. I have infinite mana."

All the students were speechless, their eyes wide with disbelief.

The video playback concluded.

Wang Yao announced, "Meng Zhenghao is to be stripped of his assessment qualification and his student record deleted. From this moment on, you are no longer a student and will no longer possess any academic record."

Meng Zhenghao’s face filled with despair.
