"Why is there another summoner?"
Zhang Shuran was surprised. Looking at Gu Chen's handsome face, he felt as if he had seen him somewhere before.
Zhou Xiaotian merely glanced in Gu Chen's direction, then averted his gaze with a look of disdain.
He didn't take this suddenly appeared summoner seriously at all.
"Don't worry about him. How dare a summoner come to participate in the Zhenyuan Army assessment? Does he think he's the master of the world? When fighting a summoner, kill the summoner first. Just wait and see. Once the assessment begins, he will definitely be the first to be eliminated."
Zhang Shuran ignored the conversation and asked, "Do you think this person looks familiar?"
"Familiar?" Zhou Xiaotian smiled disdainfully. "Forget it. I'm not interested in wasting my time on a nobody."
"Anyone like this who dares to participate in the Zhenyuan Army assessment without understanding the situation is ignorant of the situation. If such a person dares to enter the abyss, he will definitely be the first to die."
These blunt words reached Gu Chen's ears without reservation.
Gu Chen's brows furrowed slightly. We'd already entered the Zhenyuan Army assessment venue, and yet there was still this idiot?
How did my presence hinder him from participating in the Zhenyuan Army assessment? And he still claimed to be ignorant of his own limitations and the first to die upon entering the Abyss?
Gu Chen looked up, and coincidentally, Zhou Xiaotian was also looking over, though with a glare filled with disdain. His
attitude was as arrogant as a millionaire, his inexplicable sense of superiority nearly overflowing the screen.
Gu Chen was no easygoing man.
His gaze suddenly turned cold, and he activated his Chaos Elemental Spirit's ability through his media cloak.
[Dimensional Assault]
Instantly, a terrifying spatial wave appeared above Zhou Xiaotian's head. A flash of shock crossed his face, and before he could react, he fell heavily to the ground.
Zhang Shuran, who was standing nearby, saw this and hurried over to help Zhou Xiaotian up. However, when she looked at him, her beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed. Dead
!
Zhou Xiaotian had been killed.
Zhang Shuran's pretty face paled. Her scalp tingled as she gazed at the corpse before her.
For a moment, the venue fell silent, a deathly stillness descending.
Just then, a brazen voice echoed from behind.
"Gu Chen, you dare switch to a summoner? Come, let me see what your summoned beast is like."
A young man in a summoner's suit approached, accompanied by a female student wielding a staff.
Everyone, seeing this, looked wary and retreated.
"It's Wu Zonghua! He's actually switched to a summoner!"
"He's the junior guild leader of the Legendary Guild, so even a switch to a summoner wouldn't be out of his league."
Gu Chen's eyes flashed with disdain upon seeing him. Wu
Zonghua was a prominent figure among the students at Lincheng No. 1 High School. From the beginning, he'd been the one bullying him the most, causing him immense suffering.
Later, cornered, Gu Chen engaged in a confrontation.
After all, barefoot people are not afraid of those in shoes. Intimidated by Gu Chen's ferocity, Wu Zonghua finally restrained himself.
But even if he tried to be restrained, Wu Zonghua was still the Young Guild Master. How could he let things go so easily?
He had always kept Gu Chen in mind.
Now that he had become a Summoner, and with the legacy of the Legendary Guild, his first summoned beast was a rare golden lion.
With his current power, wouldn't it be easy for him to overpower a civilian?
Wu Zonghua, with a look of arrogance, shouted softly, and a golden lion was summoned.
"Oh my god! It's a golden lion! A rare summoned beast!"
"And he's the Young Guild Master! His first summoned beast is a golden lion worth over three million!"
Hearing the exclamations from the surroundings, Wu Zonghua sneered, "Gu Chen, summon your summoned beast! Let me see what kind of garbage you contracted."
Gu Chen looked over, a sneer curling his lips.
A rare summoned beast?
How dare you bring such trash to challenge him?
A cold glint flashed in Gu Chen's eyes, and he said bluntly, "Golden Lion? It's just a trashy summoned beast, yet you dare bring it out to disgrace yourself?"
A fierce look crossed Wu Zonghua's face. "You dare insult my summoned beast? I want you dead!"
The golden lion beside him also felt insulted, its mane bristling, and its amber-bright eyes glared like two blazing flames.
It opened its bloody mouth, its teeth sharp as knives, and roared furiously at Gu Chen.
The furious roar spread like a storm, and an irresistible sense of oppression suddenly descended, even the air seemed to freeze with anger.
Gu Chen stood tall, unfazed, bearing the golden lion's pressure. "Let me die? You're not worthy enough! Get out! Don't delay my dungeon!"
Gu Chen shouted coldly, turning and continuing towards the dungeon entrance.
Wu Zonghua's face was now gloomy.
Back in school, he'd been intimidated by Gu Chen's ruthlessness and always felt outmatched.
Now that he'd become a summoner and contracted a rare golden lion, his combat power was hundreds of times greater than before. How could he let Gu Chen go?
Besides, what good summoned beast could a common summoner contract?
"Stop!"
Wu Zonghua charged forward, his voice imperious. "Gu Chen, I've already contracted a golden lion. Do you think I'm afraid of you?"
Gu Chen sneered. "So, what do you want?"
"If you dare, challenge me to a fight!"
"Oh? How do you bet?"
"Whoever has the highest ranking before the dungeon closes today wins."
"What's the stake?" Gu Chen asked.
"The summoned beast is the stake. Whoever loses will cancel their contract with it. How about that?" Wu Zonghua said maliciously.
Canceling the contract would mean losing the summoned beast completely.
Although he didn't know what Gu Chen's summoned beast was, Wu Zonghua was certain that losing it would be an unbearable loss for Gu Chen.
And indeed, it was.
Even the lowest-level summoning skill book costs at least 20,000 or 30,000 yuan, and Gu Chen currently has less than 200 yuan on him .
But for Wu Zonghua, even losing a rare summoned beast wouldn't be a major loss.
Besides, how could he possibly lose to a common summoner?
"Of course I can, but I'm afraid you won't admit your defeat," Gu Chen said nonchalantly.
"I'm going to lose?" Wu Zonghua scoffed. "Then why don't we ask all the students here to be witnesses? With so many people watching, I can't deny it, right?"
"Okay, that's settled." Gu Chen agreed without hesitation.
Everyone was stunned by Gu Chen's statement.
"Oh my god, he's really taking a gamble!"
"He's got his head in the clouds, right? The other party is the Young Master of the Legendary Guild!"
Listening to the sighs around him, Wu Zonghua gently stroked the golden lion beside him and nodded with satisfaction.
He had a rare summoned beast. Beating ordinary people on the leaderboard was just like bullying.
Then, with a look of disdain, he said, "Gu Chen, my summoned beast is a golden lion. Even on Nightmare difficulty, it can still hold its own. How can you, a commoner, fight me?"
Novice dungeons have three difficulty levels: Normal, Hard, and Nightmare.
The higher the difficulty, the higher the ranking after completing the dungeon. Someone has calculated that killing one beast in a Nightmare dungeon is equivalent to killing three or four in a normal dungeon.
Normally, only the children of the nobility could afford to choose the Nightmare level.
Wu Zonghua, of course, wasn't a noble, but he was only so fearless thanks to the Golden Lion and the Teleportation Scroll.
