Top-Tier Movement Technique

Three more summoning arrays appeared.

Buzz!

Three short, entirely green Goblins appeared!

[Goblin Archer (F+)]: Summons Goblin Archers to attack enemies. This contracted spirit possesses formidable attack power, and its arrows carry a certain Armor-Piercing effect. Its drawback is that it cannot move while attacking, and it has low health and weak defense, making it easy to kill.

After the Goblin Archers appeared,

they stood beside Ling Zhan, drew their bows, and frantically fired at the Sewage Poison Crab Elite trapped by the Binding Vines!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The sheer humiliation was overwhelming!

And their attack power was terrifyingly high!

This was also the only Summoner skill among the many beginner skills that could be considered damage output.

Normally, Summoners in a team generally summoned support-type contracted spirits. Attack-type contracted spirits like these were rarely summoned.

After all, Goblin Archers had a fatal weakness: they could not move while attacking, and their health and defense were both weak. A monster only had to hit them a couple of times to kill them.

That was why few Summoners used this skill.

But Ling Zhan had used it.

And that was not all.

Before everyone's astonished eyes, he summoned another three Goblin Archers, three Giant Goblins, and three Binding Vines!

There were now nineteen contracted spirits on the battlefield!

Four Giant Goblins acted as the front line.

Three Hate-Drawing Butterflies emitted Hate-Drawing Auras, drawing enemy fire.

Six Binding Vines continuously spat out flower seeds, forming binding traps.

Six Goblin Archers stood their ground and unleashed a barrage of attacks.

The scene truly looked as though he had summoned an entire army!

The Sewage Poison Crab Elite was being beaten from all sides.

"Fuck, I'm convinced! Completely convinced!"

"Even top Summoners on the Provincial Trial Ranking can only summon twenty contracted spirits at once, yet Senior Ling Zhan has summoned nineteen this time!"

"Is this the legendary 'I alone am an army'?"

"Just how much mana does he have? Can someone tell me?"

"His innate talent definitely has something to do with mana! Otherwise, there's no way he could sustain so many summoned contracted spirits!"

"My god, what kind of monster is this? He knows everything and excels at everything!"

Outside the trial grounds,

countless students had the same two words written all over their faces: utterly convinced!

On the viewing platform, the principals and directors were completely dumbfounded!

King Yama Zhou's expression had frozen as well.

"Old Zhong, you have such an outstanding student, yet you didn't even know?" Li Huanxi, the principal of Second High School, said with a cheerful smile.

"Well..."

Zhong Wenshan gave an awkward laugh, then shot Qi Mu a glare.

Qi Mu desperately wanted to cry injustice!

Who the hell would have known that a student with a talent value of only 62 would be this terrifying?

Usually, this student kept a low profile. His monthly exams, final exams, and practical assessments had all been utterly unremarkable.

Qi Mu had known that he might be hiding his abilities.

But who could have expected him to pull something like this during the Job Transfer Trial Entrance Examination?

It was like slicing his ass with a knife—his eyes had been opened as a homeroom teacher!

"Old Zhong, such a top student wasn't even assigned to an advanced class by you. What a waste!"

The principal of Third High School added his own comment.

Pfft!

Those words were like a sharp sword stabbing Zhong Wenshan.

Because what they really meant was: Zhong Wenshan, is this how you treat a genius?

Still, Zhong Wenshan wore a pleased smile.

Ling Zhan had brought glory to First High School!

As Ling Zhan's homeroom teacher, Qi Mu both loved and hated him now.

He loved him because Ling Zhan's outstanding performance had saved his evaluation and performance rating.

He hated him because this brat had hidden things from him too well!

As his homeroom teacher, he had known absolutely nothing about his situation!

To put it bluntly, it meant that he had failed at being a homeroom teacher!

"Enough. Keep watching. Ling Zhan isn't done yet!" King Yama Zhou said at that moment.

The principals and directors heard those words.

Their spirits immediately lifted.

What else did this kid... want to do?

Inside the trial,

Ling Zhan, who had summoned nineteen contracted spirits, did not continue summoning.

It was not that he could not summon more. He simply felt that this was enough.

What remained was his time to perform!

He had a front line, aggro control, and backline damage.

So what was he supposed to do?

Naturally, act freely!

Ling Zhan did not choose to leisurely shoot arrows from where he stood.

Instead, like a sheep charging into a pack of wolves, he directly lunged at the Sewage Poison Crab Elite!

The sight made the spectators outside blurt out, "Holy fucking shit!"

Ling Zhan still held his bow. The Archer beginner skill [Flash Step] and [Invincible Slide] let him move around the Sewage Poison Crab Elite as if he had entered an uninhabited land!

[Flash Step (F+)]: Instantly dashes a great distance. However, the user is not invincible during the dash and can be attacked.

[Invincible Slide (F+)]: Instantly slides a short distance. The user is invincible for one second during the slide. While invincible, the user cannot be targeted or attacked.

The Sewage Poison Crab Elite's attacks brushed past him.

Top-tier movement technique combined with an Archer's skills allowed Ling Zhan to weave about with ease. After all, the imposing Sewage Poison Crab Elite was tangled up with the summoned army.

But behind that apparent ease lay extreme danger!

Even the slightest operational error could result in instant defeat—or even death!

Countless spectators outside broke into a cold sweat for Ling Zhan!

Yet,

Ling Zhan showed no sign of stopping. Instead, he began attacking the Sewage Poison Crabs, using arrows like sharp blades as he fired wildly.

In the gaps between attacks, he even switched to a Swordsman's longsword and delivered Precision strikes against the Armor-Pierced monsters!

He was making use of the Archer's Armor-Piercing effect along with the Swordsman's sustained damage to unleash a frenzied barrage.

Such weapon-switching speed, so fast it made one tremble, along with his exquisite movement technique,

left every spectator outside in awe!

Outside the trial grounds,

countless students had their hearts in their throats.

"Holy fucking shit! Is this something a Jobless Freelancer can do?"

"You've shocked me for ten thousand years!"

"This top-tier movement technique alone is enough for us to study!"

"A dancer on the edge of a blade!"

"Damn it, this completely reckless fighting style, along with that seemingly bottomless mana pool, is just mind-blowing!"

Watching scene after scene unfold,

the younger students could only stare in utter shock.

At the same time, they all took out cameras and phones to record the scene.

They had already thought of the titles.

"Shocking! A Jobless Freelancer actually did this during the Job Transfer Trial Entrance Examination..."

"Job Transfer Trial Entrance Examination Highlights, T0!"

"Max-Level Movement Technique!"

On the viewing platform,

the principals and directors had gone numb.

It was as though they had already become accustomed to every surprise Ling Zhan brought them.

And whenever these principals and directors looked at Zhong Wenshan, their faces plainly said, "What a waste of talent!"

King Yama Zhou crossed his hands on the table, and a deep gleam of admiration flashed in his cold eyes.

"This kid is interesting!"

"I thought he was just a clown seeking attention, but I never expected him to put on such an astonishing performance!"

"Perhaps he might really have a chance of breaking into the top hundred of the Provincial Trial Ranking?"

Yes.

By now, everyone could see exactly what Ling Zhan intended to do.

He wanted a perfect score in the first stage and to compete for a provincial ranking.

A Freelancer.

Having such an ambition was nothing short of madness!

At that thought,

King Yama Zhou gently shook his head again.

He probably felt that his own thoughts had been too naive.

This kid was outstanding, but being a Jobless Freelancer meant he could not use high-level skills exclusive to a profession.

The further the trial progressed, the stronger the monsters' defense, health, and attacks would become.

When that time came, how would he deal with them?
