Chapter 843: Left and Right
If both sides clashed...
Even with four generals and a group of prodigies at level 160-170 present here.
It would still be impossible to avoid total devastation.
Thus, they had no choice but to enter the vast space battlefield.
After all, the plains within the space battlefield were boundless and incredibly sturdy—these prodigies could unleash their full power as they pleased.
And so.
Both sides officially entered the space battlefield.
1V4!
This scene unfolded, yet the four generals seated at the chief platform did nothing to stop it. In fact, they were quite pleased with how things had turned out.
For General Eugene, General Ebotar, and General Lionel, this was expected.
But why was General Su from the Dragon Kingdom also smiling?
Come on!
A genius from your own nation was being surrounded and attacked, and you could still smile?
Or did Old Su believe that even while being outnumbered, victory was still certain?
"Damn! I didn't expect Mordes and the others to actually choose to team up in the end!"
"Looks like they really can't afford to lose..."
"True, in a one-on-one fight, no one could possibly match Instructor Ling, but now that they're teaming up..."
"But the thing is, Instructor Ling was the one who said it himself—'come at me together.' They just agreed and did exactly that."
"I'm guessing Instructor Ling is going to lose this time."
The audience members shook their heads one after another.
Meanwhile, the member who had been ridiculed earlier for questioning Ling Zhan's age was now grinning smugly.
"Heh heh! No need to guess! Your Instructor Ling is definitely losing!"
"Mordes, Bazel, and the others have teamed up. He still thinks he can win? Dream on!"
"People seem to forget how many instructors have been forced to step down before..."
Just as this annoying guy had said.
The position of chief instructor in the Demon-Slaying Legion had always been difficult to fill.
To be truly qualified, one had to be on the level of the Four Grand Mages, the Five Martial Gods, or the Three Sword Saints.
Even an ordinary level 190+ Professional, no matter how strong in single combat, would never be accepted if they couldn't handle the combined assault of these prodigies.
Because of this, countless chief instructors had voluntarily resigned.
But regardless of that.
The battle had already begun.
...…
...…
Inside the plains battlefield.
The referee raised his right hand high before announcing in a solemn voice.
"Both sides, prepare! Three-second countdown! You may use lethal force, but do not destroy your opponent's core soul essence!"
"Both sides, control your attacks!"
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
"Battle start!"
As the referee swung his hand down.
Whoosh!!
His figure instantly vanished from the battlefield.
A level 170 referee staying in such a high-level battlefield? Was he trying to die?
Truth be told, his role as "referee" was really just to blow the starting whistle.
Now looking at both sides.
The moment the match officially began.
Mordes, Bazel, and the others did not immediately take action.
Ling Zhan also remained motionless.
The reason Ling Zhan didn't attack was simple.
He was worried that if he made the first move, the four of them wouldn't even get a chance to act.
If this were a normal battle, Ling Zhan would have already begun slaughtering them without a second thought.
But now, he was the chief instructor of the Demon-Slaying Legion.
The four opponents before him were merely his subordinates.
Out of duty and responsibility, he decided to first assess their true strength.
However.
On Mordes, Bazel, and the others' side, they were casually chatting among themselves.
"So? You guys got forced into this by your own generals too?"
"Yeah, what else? Sigh..."
"I don't know what our generals are thinking, making us team up. Isn't this just bullying?"
Mordes shook his head and said, "Alright, let's not waste time. Let's just finish this quickly. All of us attack at once and end this farce."
Bazel, however, smiled faintly and said, "No need for all of us to go in. Derek and I will handle it. If we all jump in at once, there's a chance we might accidentally destroy his core soul essence—that'd be unfortunate."
"Fine..."
Mordes nodded.
Hearing this, Derek, the towering Starbreaker Martial God, took heavy steps forward.
"Hoh!!"
With a low shout, Bazel fully ignited the dragon blood within him!
Dragon Slayer Mage!
A subclass of the Mage profession!
Additionally...
The dragon-slaying profession wasn't limited to Dragon Hunters alone.
Within the Beast Tamer class, there was a hidden subclass known as Dragon Tamer.
This profession was extremely specialized, allowing contracts only with True Dragons and Holy Dragons.
Drakes, wyverns, and lesser dragons could not be contracted. Because of this high requirement, the subclass was once considered the weakest among the Beast Tamer branches.
Upon reaching their second-tier advancement, they could change class to Dragon Slayer.
Dragon Slayer Mages and Dragon Slayers had no direct connection.
But their nature was similar.
Both gained strength through hunting dragons.
At this moment.
Bazel had fully activated his dragon blood.
Dragon scales began spreading across his body.
Dragon Slayer Mages not only possessed extremely powerful dragon-slaying magic but also, due to prolonged exposure to dragon blood, developed physical attributes closer to dragons, granting them formidable melee abilities.
Now, Bazel had entered his close-combat dragon transformation form. It was clear that he and Derek, the Starbreaker Martial God, intended to launch a brutal pincer attack on their new instructor!
Boom!!
Both Bazel and Derek stomped on the ground simultaneously, causing a deafening roar as they shot toward Ling Zhan like cannonballs!
Fast!
Incredibly fast!
Upon entering the battlefield, both sides had started five hundred meters apart—at that distance, their opponents appeared as mere dots in their vision.
Yet, in an instant, Bazel and Derek had already arrived!
They descended upon Ling Zhan!
For a Starbreaker Martial God like Derek, having such speed without using any skills was no surprise.
But for Bazel to match Derek's speed was astonishing—it also proved his terrifying close-combat strength.
One from the left, one from the right, their momentum was overwhelming.
But what surprised them was that even in the face of such danger, the non-specialist remained perfectly calm. He didn't even move an inch, as if he were simply letting two melee powerhouses close in on him.
"Arrogant as expected!!"
"Since that's the case, die!"
Seeing this, Bazel and Derek's expressions grew even darker.
"Haaah!!"
As two furious shouts rang out, the two warriors—who were rivals yet long-time partners—attacked in perfect unison!
'Dragon Transformation: Annihilating Demon Dragon Fist (SS)!'
'Order: Death Instant Kick (SS)!'
