"Clang--!"
The long sword collided with the railway tracks.
One invisible sound wave after another rippled outwards.
The first sound wave struck the tunnel's arched dome and was then bounced back.
During its return journey, the sound wave collided with the second wave, causing an even more violent oscillation.
Then came the third, the fourth...
Gradually, a visible ripple could be seen in the tunnel from time to time.
They flow like water in the deep sea inside the tunnel.
Shen Heng couldn't control himself and staggered a step.
He slowly raised his head, staring blankly at the scene before him.
Sound waves vibrated in his ears, and the ripples representing the sound waves spun before his eyes like a kaleidoscope.
At that moment, he felt he could collapse the tunnel with a mere wave of his hand, but...
The sound waves were getting too fast and were getting out of his control.
Shen Heng's gaze pierced through the intricate ripples as he looked at the approaching Calamity Beast.
He slowly raised his right hand, his five fingers spread, paused for a moment in a diagonally upward position, and then suddenly swung it down.
"Boom!"
The air inside the tunnel instantly Distortion.
The free sound waves suddenly collapsed into a shock wave that rushed forward.
"Buzz!"
The sound waves collided with the Calamity Beast.
The charging posture of the horde of Calamity Beast suddenly froze.
The individuals in the front row still maintained their outstretched claws, but cracks had already appeared on their carapaces.
The Calamity Beast remained motionless, maintaining the posture it had assumed before the sonic attack.
They're not dead yet, and their Tier 2 bodies make them less likely to die, but regaining their mobility won't be something that can be achieved in a second or two.
"Exhausted!"
The long sword was drawn, and footsteps echoed in the tunnel.
Meanwhile, on the ground...
Yang Xu looked at the rippling light screen, initially not paying any attention.
After all, there were 30 people, so it's not surprising that some were still fighting the Calamity Beast at the last moment.
It's as if he's only just been freed from battle.
only...
Under Yang Xu's gaze, the light curtain in the sky suddenly rippled again.
Then, as if something went wrong, it began to ripple continuously.
"No, what happened?"
Yang Xu stared in astonishment at the light screen in the sky.
The screen is currently refreshing at a speed that only kept updating the rankings at the very beginning...
No!
Even at the very beginning, he had never seen the light screen refresh at this speed.
After all, finding and killing the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast both take time, and it's absolutely impossible...
This refresh rate shouldn't be happening!!
So, what exactly happened?!
The rooftop of a building.
Xiao Xiangtong stood on the rooftop wall, gazing intently at the light curtain in the sky.
On the light screen, a name is rising rapidly.
"This is... Brother Shen Heng?"
Cao Mingyu stared in disbelief at the rising name.
It wasn't that he didn't want to believe Shen Heng, but rather that the speed at which Shen Heng updated the data was simply beyond his expectations.
If it's fast, it will update twice in less than a second; if it's slow, it will update once every two seconds.
this...
He really couldn't figure out what circumstances could possibly lead to such a thing.
The three people standing in the sky were equally puzzled.
"Hey, how could this possibly go wrong?" Cao Zhenghao turned to look at Zhang Chenguang.
Chang Lei looked over with a similar sense of confusion.
Zhang Chenguang frowned. He didn't reply, but instead raised his hand and waved it in front of him.
The void rippled, and a scene appeared before their eyes.
In the dim light, a black-haired youth was relentlessly reaping the lives of Calamity Beast with a knife. Before him, the Calamity Beast stood stiff and motionless, like puppets.
"No, what the heck is this?" Cao Zhenghao asked, somewhat confused.
Zhang Chenguang didn't reply, but raised his hand and pushed forward.
The young man came to the tunnel alone, lit a torch, and knocked on the wall...
After watching the whole process, Chang Lei's lips curled up slightly.
"It seems the other lessons we schedule for them every day are very useful!"
"Indeed!" Zhang Chenguang nodded in agreement.
"Hey, you've really gotten slapped in the face, and you're still laughing!" Cao Zhenghao looked at Chang Lei.
"Slapped in the face?" Chang Lei didn't react for a moment.
"Didn't you just say that Shen Heng had no chance of getting a spot? Look, not only did he get one, but he's third!" Cao Zhenghao laughed.
Chang Lei's smile vanished instantly.
"It seems we might need to fight!"
"Hahaha..."
A ripple appeared before my eyes.
When Shen Heng's eyes refocused, they were already back in the lecture hall.
"69, third place?" Shen Heng said softly, announcing the final result.
"Brother Shen Heng, how did you do that?" The first thing Cao Mingyu did after waking up was to look at Shen Heng.
"Yeah, that's awesome! You killed 30 Calamity Beast in one minute. How did you do that?" Zhou Xuan asked with a smile.
"That's 26!" Fang Ran corrected from the side.
Shen Heng looked up at the group, and just as he was about to explain, Yang Xu slammed his hand on the table and stood up.
"Report: Shen Heng's data is incorrect!"
"What, you're upset that your fifth place was pushed down because Shen Heng went up?" Zhou Xuan looked at Yang Xu with annoyance.
Yang Xu frowned. "Everyone kills the Calamity Beast based on their own strength. If he killed the Calamity Beast in direct combat and pushed me out of the competition, then I have nothing to say, but..."
Yang Xu sneered, "Killing 30 Calamity Beast in a minute? Let alone his D-Class ability, even Xiao Xiangtong and Wu Hongxuan would have to retreat facing 30 Tier 2 Calamity Beast, let alone him!"
"Yeah!" someone nearby agreed, "This must be a bug, right? How could it possibly kill 30 Calamity Beast in one minute!"
"But this is based on simulations of instructors' abilities, not a program, right?" someone countered. "Can abilities simulations also have bugs?"
"I don't know either, but how could one person kill the Calamity Beast so quickly?"
"This..." the man hesitated.
"Maybe we've encountered a group of unconscious Calamity Beast?" a short-haired girl said from a distance.
"Huh? There are such things?" Lü Wenrui looked at the girl with some surprise.
"Uh... I don't know, but maybe!" the girl said somewhat awkwardly.
"That's not right. Even if such a good thing happened, it should be me who encountered it!" Lü Wenrui said in disbelief.
"That can't be Shen Heng really taking down 30 Calamity Beast in one minute, can it?"
There were 26... Fang Ran looked at everyone.
Shen Heng sat calmly in his seat, watching the people discussing.
The vast majority of these were skeptical, and even those who didn't question were skeptical.
After all, the fact that 26 Calamity Beast could be killed in one minute was beyond their comprehension.
Let alone themselves, even if Xiao Xiangtong killed 26 Calamity Beast in a minute, they would probably have some doubts.
However, Shen Heng had no intention of explaining to them.
He explained that it was possible, but there would definitely be people who wouldn't believe him and would argue back, and then he would have to say a lot more.
Having just manipulated sound waves beyond his capabilities, Shen Heng was now mentally exhausted and had no interest in talking to them much more.
