Chapter 1098: Chapter 616: Shen Sui, Let’s Duel

Zhang Fang’s face was ashen, and even the hand holding the dueling device was trembling slightly.

He took several deep breaths, finally suppressing the depression and anger in his heart, and said to the assistant next to him, "Make a note, the spawning point in the buffer zone must be randomly assigned, it cannot be fixed in one place anymore."

"Isn’t this a bad idea?" the assistant instinctively said, "Different Life Card Masters have Soul Cards with different abilities. If we don’t let them connect with each other, it might result in mutual obstruction."

This issue had already emerged in previous tests, which is why the initial random landing command was deleted and changed to a unified fixed spawning point.

Originally, everyone had entered together to fight the invaders, but because the attributes of their Soul Cards conflicted with each other, it directly led to mutual sabotage, exposing a flaw in front of the enemy instead.

"Don’t ask so many questions!" Zhang Fang really wasn’t in the mood to explain so much now. His head hurt just thinking about being slain fourteen times by Shen Sui and the others.

This matter, just let Wang Ming write a report explaining it after the test is over.

Zhang Fang thought, silently pushing this heavy writing task onto Wang Ming.

The assistant didn’t say more.

And Zhang Fang was gradually calming down, muttering to himself, "Sure enough, such testing should have unsympathetic guys as examiners, wouldn’t that have immediately revealed the problem?"

If it hadn’t been for Alice blocking the revival point this time, they would have probably paid a heavy price to discover this hidden flaw—though in hindsight, this flaw was indeed a foolish one, but some things are really hard to see for those involved.

Once his mood was settled, Zhang Fang reopened the dueling device, agreed on a time with the other testers, and restarted the buffer zone.

Recalling the encounters in the previous assessment test, Zhang Fang couldn’t help but feel a bit fearful.

In the initial attacks, Zhang Fang was completely cleaned out before he could react.

But later, the group already knew that the other party was blocking their way. All these people were elites from the Exploration Bureau, were prime combatants who had fought against Extraordinary individuals in the real world, and were the main forces entering the buffer zone during its trial operation period in recent times.

Skillful people, no matter how humble, have their pride.

Knowing that the opposition was blockading, everyone’s first reaction was to counterattack.

Upon revival, they summoned their Soul Cards immediately, then found Alice, who was attacking them, as quickly as possible to disrupt her spellcasting and thus break free from the cycle of death.

However, Alice’s strength exceeded everyone’s expectations.

Damn, what the hell did she throw at us! My Soul Card is supposed to be the Light-speed Swordsman, yet I couldn’t escape her attack’s explosion radius before dying.

Zhang Fang was among the attacked, and usually, all he saw was a flash of white light before perishing, without any chance to witness the full scale of Alice’s nuclear explosion fireball explosion.

After fourteen consecutive struggles and confirming that they couldn’t break through Alice’s blockade tactics, Zhang Fang had no choice but to terminate the first test.

Although it seemed a bit anticlimactic, at least a massive hidden flaw was identified.

Zhang Fang could only console himself this way.

The second assessment test started quickly.

This time everyone became wise. Even though the code couldn’t be modified so quickly, resulting in only one spawn point, the team split up in the buffer zone to avoid being found by Shen Sui again and having everyone wiped out.

Moreover, everyone summoned their Soul Cards at the moment of arrival.

Their Soul Cards, having been through fourteen destructions with them, naturally knew the terror of the opposition and were on guard from the very start without needing excessive words.

"Who exactly is the target this time?"

Behind Zhang Fang, a man carrying two long swords asked him.

His name was Jia Yi, from the Seventeenth Soul Card World, and he had become the strongest swordsman in that world.

World No. 17 is a high martial apocalypse world where the Extraordinary absorb energy by slaying creatures known as Evil Ghosts to become stronger. This world is filled with various sects, including the traditional Martial Arts Sect that enhances one’s strength by following ancient cultivation practices, the Technology-Flow Martial Artist who strengthens themselves through technological enhancements, and the Evil Ghost Sect that worships Evil Ghosts as deities and gains great power by consuming human hearts and lungs...

Jia Yi didn’t belong to any sect, with his only goal being slaying Evil Ghosts, and he dabbled in any skills that could kill Evil Ghosts.

His title as the Light-speed Swordsman came from his technologically modified legs, allowing him to reach multiple times the speed of sound in a very short period.

Zhang Fang briefly explained Shen Sui and Alice’s appearance to Jia Yi and said, "The ultimate goal is to defeat these two. But be careful, their strength is definitely not weak."

"Them? Does the opponent’s Life Card Master have very strong abilities too?"

With Jia Yi’s question, Zhang Fang couldn’t help but recall the scene when he saw Shen Sui at the airport that day.

Isabella, the Blood Queen of Dawn Continent, dashed into Shen Sui’s arms at such high speed, yet he stood there unmoved, which already explained a lot.

Moreover, with Shen Sui not at all trying to hide his identity blatantly, if the Exploration Bureau doesn’t have some reasonable guesses about Shen Sui’s identity in the Dawn Continent, then they don’t deserve to receive so much funding every year.
