Chapter 847: Official Appointment
"Don't ruin my Melando Staff!"
Molders also shouted with great heartache.
Melando, a very famous dwarf weapon maker from the Free Federation.
It's said that this dwarf weapon maker holds the record for the most successful creation of sacred artifacts in the world.
And many renowned top-tier spirit weapons also came from his hands.
He enjoys extremely high status within the Free Federation.
This Melando Staff was also the first sacred artifact successfully created by this dwarf master. It holds great significance, and to think he was actually willing to gift it to Molders.
It seems that Molders, having reached level 186 at such a young age, is indeed highly valued by the Free Federation.
Seeing Molders extinguish his spell, Ling Zhan finally shook his head in disappointment, then released his grip on the staff.
The disappointment, of course, had its reasons.
He never imagined that the so-called elite members of the joint heavenly pride legion formed by various Kingdoms would be so feeble in strength.
Moreover, Ling Zhan had deliberately given them chances from beginning to end, even holding back.
In Ling Zhan's eyes, this group was nothing more than a bunch of high-level trash.
Their strength was only slightly better than those unreliable wanderers in the wild.
They were all overly confident in their own skills.
Armand and Molders both seemed convinced that no one could withstand annihilation magic and still slaughter them.
Derek and Bazel also didn't believe that a non-specialist could instantly kill them in close combat.
A truly excellent class changer must first follow one belief: in this vast world, nothing is impossible.
Every battle you face must be fought with all your strength.
Even if your opponent is just a three-year-old child.
After all, who knows if that three-year-old child might suddenly leap up and transform into a demon charging at you?
Things that seem impossible—once they happen—become fatally dangerous.
If you're not prepared, even if you don't die today, you'll die tomorrow or the day after sooner or later.
These people have way too little awareness of danger.
Perhaps their usual "working behind closed doors" gave them confidence, making them think the world's heroes were nothing special.
"They need training."
Ling Zhan had already simulated a full set of hellish devil-style training regimens in his mind.
At this moment—
The outsiders watching the broadcast were both shocked and confused.
Mainly because after the annihilation magic faded from the screen, what they saw was Armand, the Lord of Calamity, lying in the distance, unconscious.
And Molders loudly admitting defeat, looking utterly dejected.
"That's it? He lost?"
Naturally, this was hard to believe.
"You're telling me this non-specialist just stared down Molders' annihilation magic and crushed both of them?"
"Seems like it."
"Holy shit! That's insanely powerful!"
"Yeah, a bit ridiculously over the top…"
The many members looked at each other and could only sigh.
"Alright! Get Molders and the others out of there!"
At that moment—
Elder Su finally spoke.
As for the already unconscious Derek and Bazel, they had long since been quietly taken out by the referees.
Otherwise, should they have stayed in there and gotten caught up in more collateral damage?
All those two could do was pass out.
Once carried out, a Holy Sage's healing magic removed their unconscious state, allowing Bazel and Derek to slowly wake up.
At the same time, this Holy Sage couldn't help but marvel, "Instructor Ling's control over his power is just right—he didn't cause any serious injury to the two. He merely knocked them out…"
This level of control alone was beyond the reach of many, and it perfectly illustrated Instructor Ling's deep understanding and mastery over strength and skills—it could be said to have reached its peak.
One minute later—
Molders and Armand walked out, their faces full of loss.
Ling Zhan stood calmly on the arena platform, sweeping his gaze across the members below. His voice remained calm and steady.
"If there's still anyone unconvinced, I welcome your challenge at any time!"
"If you can beat me, I'll hand over the position of Chief Instructor without hesitation."
As soon as he said that—
Compared to the earlier fervent clamor, now the entire field fell into utter silence.
And those who had been shouting the loudest before now had to lower their heads.
Afraid that if their gaze was caught by this non-specialist, they'd be held accountable afterward.
Seeing the group of members below fall silent—
Ling Zhan withdrew his gaze and continued, "Since no one is challenging, I'll take it that you're all convinced by me as your instructor."
"I'm giving you the chance to challenge me now. If you don't take it, then if you dare act out in the future, don't blame me for using military law!"
This is the legion headquarters of all Kingdoms.
Military orders are absolute.
Military law is extremely strict.
Ling Zhan now was allowing everyone below him to question him and even accept any challenge.
But once he officially took office, he would become the Chief Instructor of these members—their true superior in the military hierarchy.
If any of them dared to jump and question him again like before, Ling Zhan wouldn't give them another chance to challenge. He would use the strictest military law to deal with them.
Daring to defy or question a superior in the military—this was a serious crime.
At this moment—
The entire field was silent.
No one dared say another word.
Including Molders, Armand, and the other two—all lowered their heads in dejection.
The Taoist girl Ye Qingling was patting her little chest in relief, thankful she hadn't foolishly gone to challenge this monster.
Otherwise, she would've ended up as embarrassed as Molders and the rest.
"Master is so domineering."
Below the stage, Meng Shuang looked at Ling Zhan, who had silenced the entire group. Her eyes sparkled like stars, full of worship.
Yun Man and Chang Yue were already staring at the figure on stage with dreamy eyes.
As for the little Holy Dragon and little Golden Crow cradled in Yun Man and Chang Yue's arms, they too were looking at their master with admiration.
Power reigns supreme.
This is a rule engraved in the genes of all divine beasts.
Even a newborn divine beast cub, still confused about the world, will instinctively bow its head and wag its tail when sensing a power greater than its own.
Having such an overwhelmingly powerful master was naturally a matter of great pride for divine beasts.
"Alright! Since no one has any objections—"
"Then I hereby officially declare!"
"Ling Zhan shall serve as Chief Instructor of the Demon-Slaying Legion!"
"No objections will be tolerated!"
At this moment, Elder Su also stood up and hammered down the final decision.
Crash! Crash! Crash!
The crowd below quickly responded with applause.
At the same time, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Truly, the aura released by this non-specialist at this moment was far too overwhelming.
No one even dared to meet his gaze directly.
Now that he had become their Chief Instructor, it actually came as a relief.
