Only then did everyone raise their eyes to look at the screen.
When they saw that lone figure facing an enormous army of mechanical monsters by himself—
He Chuan, Ba Meng, Shou Jingyuan, and Ke Long's expressions changed sharply!
Damn!
It was him!
Why was he here?
And...
Why was the Eden guild's public screen showing footage of him?
To these four, the name and existence of Ling Zhan stirred very different emotions within them.
Although He Chuan and Ba Meng had lost to Ling Zhan,
they had willingly conceded defeat. They had gradually come to admire this prodigy who dared to blaze a new trail and walk the Freelancer path alone.
There was no other reason.
If they had tried to walk the Freelancer path themselves, they would probably have long since faded into the crowd—or perhaps even died inside an instance Secret Realm.
Perhaps Ling Zhan possessed an innate talent exceptionally suited to the Freelancer path.
But after personally experiencing Ling Zhan's terror, He Chuan and Ba Meng knew that this Freelancer did not merely rely on his own talent.
He also possessed a chilling ruthlessness and cunning, as well as terrifying combat skills that seemed to have been honed through thousands upon thousands of battles.
Thus, upon seeing Ling Zhan, He Chuan and Ba Meng instead looked curious.
Was this prodigy trying to speed-clear all 100 floors of the Secret Realm?
In contrast, Shou Jingyuan and Ke Long looked far less pleased.
There was no need to mention Ke Long.
Before countless eyes, Ling Zhan had killed him with a single punch.
During the Demon-Extermination Operation, Shou Jingyuan had also had all the limelight stolen from him by Ling Zhan.
And more importantly, his actions afterward had subjected him to no small number of mocking, teasing looks.
