Chapter 592: Chapter 300 Strange and Scary!_1 When such a bizarre death occurred, the competitors within the Demon Tower were all alarmed and utterly horrified. The reactions outside the event weren’t any better either. Originally, when it happened on the first floor, everyone was a bit unclear whether there was any connection between Chen Mo and the one who was killed. But when the same thing happened again on the second floor, it was obviously not so easy to dismiss the matter. For a moment, murmurs of discussion arose everywhere. "Another one is dead! And again, they died over ten thousand meters away from this expert of ours, but the points were still credited to him. What on Earth is going on?" "I don’t understand at all. The rules for this floor were made perfectly clear: all attacks can only affect the area within a hundred meters around the attacker. Anything beyond that is ineffective. Mother Zhua was at least ten thousand meters away from this expert of ours. How could her death still give him points?" "It’s truly bizarre. If the points weren’t credited to this expert of ours, we could guess that someone else nearby killed her. But all the points were directly given to this expert of ours. What other possibilities are there?" "At the time Mother Zhua died, there were quite a few people around her. I wonder what these people saw. I’m really curious. Damn it, why can we only watch this thumbnail live broadcast instead of a full live video?" "Are you daydreaming? As soon as you enter an instance, you lose contact with the outside world. A full video live broadcast? Wouldn’t that just leak information easily? Do you want our Talented Youngster’s secrets revealed?" "That seems true, but not knowing the reason makes me itch with curiosity! How did he do it? Why can he kill others from over ten thousand meters away, ignoring the rules?" 「Academy Alliance Headquarters」 The three Alliance Hierarchs and several assistants sat in the conference hall, dealing with matters at hand while occasionally checking Chen Mo’s situation in the fourth competition zone. Once again, they witnessed an unthinkable scene. For a moment, they couldn’t help but stop their work and stare blankly at the volumetric display floating before their eyes. "Another one dead?" "Chen Mo’s score increased. It’s evident he’s credited for the kill." "The rules for the second floor clearly state that an attack only influences a hundred-meter radius. What’s the deal with this kid, Chen Mo?" As the three Alliance Hierarchs were puzzled, one of their subordinates suddenly entered the conference hall. "Alliance Hierarchs, according to the recent investigation of Chen Mo’s movements, we’ve detected something extraordinarily strange." Upon hearing this, the three Alliance Hierarchs immediately looked at each other and asked, "What’s strange?" "A few days ago, Chen Mo entered an Experience instance with a girl named Yusheng Liuyin from the Tian Science Academy. It took them half a day to come out. However, according to Jing’s feedback, during this same half-day, Chen Mo also attended his tutorial class!" "What?! Is this even possible?" "Does this kid have the ability to create an Avatar?" "Can an Avatar exist simultaneously with the main body in two different spaces? Even if we left an Avatar here, wouldn’t it dissipate as soon as we enter an instance?" Jiang Yun found this incredible based on his experience. "Indeed. As soon as you enter an instance, any ability we manifest in this world will dissipate and not remain." "So, what’s going on with Chen Mo? He’s entering an instance and attending classes at the same time? Could he have a twin brother? But we thoroughly investigated; he’s an only child." "Everything about Chen Mo has been strange from the very beginning. The mysteriously hidden five-stars initial profession, the enigmatic Above SSS-level Realm Breakthrough Assessment—these are all things we’ve never seen before. It’s because of him that we’ve gradually started to understand them. It’s evident he possesses even more that we don’t yet comprehend, which isn’t surprising. We’ll have to wait for him to come out and ask him." "I’m afraid he won’t be willing to divulge it easily." "Then we’ll have to respect his decision. The more extraordinary the method, the more confidential the matter. It’s understandable if he’s unwilling to reveal it." "Still, my curiosity is killing me," Markus said, shaking his head with a smile. Despite their confusion, they were certain about one thing: Chen Mo’s abilities had surpassed their understanding. This was excellent news for the Solar System. On Earth, people were simply amazed by the bizarreness of Chen Mo’s abilities. Meanwhile, in the Yongming Star System, things had already exploded into an uproar. "Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! Why is Mother Zhua’s death also attributed to that Chen Mo?" "Is there something wrong with the Heavenly Dao? Chen Mo was many kilometers away from Mother Zhua, not just hundreds or thousands of meters! Under these circumstances, how can Mother Zhua’s death be credited to him? Did the Heavenly Dao change the scoring rules?" "Look at the heavenly path’s rule display on the side; there are no changes at all! What change are you talking about? We might have considered some hidden circumstances the first time, but this is the second time it has happened. This is enough to prove that this guy, Chen Mo, truly possesses the ability to kill from kilometers away!" "Not only that, but his targets are all top fourth-transition competitors with fifty-three stars. Those fourth-transition competitors must have at least three to five lifesaving methods, yet he easily killed one after another!" "Indeed. We’re not exactly sure how long it took to kill the first one, but Mother Zhua was definitely killed within 10 seconds. She couldn’t even hold out until the next area transition occurred before she died. This ability is utterly terrifying!" "Before activating the Demonization Formation, some people said that trading a hundred five-stars for his life wasn’t worthwhile. After this incident, who would dare say it’s not worth it? It would be an absolute steal even if we used ten thousand five-stars to kill him!" "This terrifying power he possesses is while he’s only at his second-transition. What if he reaches the fifth-transition? Won’t he be able to fight deified experts then?!" "It’s too terrifying! It’s simply absurd how he can kill top fourth-transition competitors instantly. They couldn’t even survive 10 seconds against him! Is there anyone below the fifth-transition who could possibly be his opponent? I’m afraid we can no longer stop his rise." "No. If we can organize a five-star Demonization Brigade, we might still have a glimmer of hope. After Demonization, all abilities of a five-star profession will upgrade, reaching the extremely rare Above SSS-level. An army array composed of a group of experts with Above SSS-level strength—even this Chen Mo would likely find it hard to deal with!" "That makes sense, but the requirement is five-stars, which is a difficult condition to meet." "It might have been difficult in the past, but with him now making such a splash in the fourth-transition competition zone, his threat is undeniably evident. Anyone with a bit of sense should realize that if he’s allowed to grow, no one will be able to oppose him in the future. Who could tolerate his continued growth? They’ll likely want to eliminate him as soon as possible! Our allies should also be made to understand and foresee this future." Indeed, just as the people of the Yongming Star System discussed, Chen Mo’s consecutive performances had utterly shocked everyone in the surrounding Star Systems. Strength was one thing, but Chen Mo’s peculiarity was reaching a frightening degree!
