Chapter 272: Multiple Strategies! What's Your Offer?

 

Swear to the heavens...

 

Forno, in all his years, had never encountered a level 45 warrior whose presence made him feel such apprehension.

 

Moreover, the strangest thing was whether it was an illusion or not!

 

Forno felt an extremely dangerous aura emanating from this young man!

 

This...

 

Forno's eyes grew serious as he looked at the indifferent young man, his attitude completely changing.

 

He no longer showed the ease and naturalness he had with Shu Jingyuan.

 

The closer he got, the more terrifying he found this young man!

 

Damn it!

 

How did the Dragon Kingdom produce such a prodigy this year!?

 

Why had they never heard of this person before?

 

They had only ever heard of Li Chaoge from the Dragon Kingdom.

 

This non-specialist, who even made Forno cautious, had never been mentioned!

 

If Forno had taken the time to thoroughly investigate Ling Zhan's information...

 

He would have been astounded.

 

He would never have imagined that this person in front of him was just a freshman.

 

"Mr. Ling Zhan, the Eden Guild would like to invite you to live stream your dungeon raid from floors 51 to 100. Would you be willing?"

 

This old gentleman with meticulously combed white hair issued a polite and courteous invitation.

 

His attitude was completely different from when he faced Shu Jingyuan.

 

This indirectly indicated that the old gentleman, just from a brief encounter...

 

Already recognized Ling Zhan's extraordinariness.

 

In fact...

 

At this moment, he already regarded Ling Zhan on the same level as world-class young prodigies like Li Chaoge, Princess Saint Luni, and Norton.

 

It was no wonder that although the old man was only level 75, he was highly valued in the Eden Guild.

 

Talent.

 

Strength.

 

Level.

 

These factors were important.

 

But the most crucial factor was: you had to survive.

 

Clearly.

 

This gentleman, who often ventured into dungeons and was entrusted with tasks by the upper echelons while still living well, excelled in survival skills and discernment.

 

The audience, seeing Forno's change in attitude...

 

Also exchanged looks.

 

Then they understood.

 

Right...

 

This non-specialist was so formidable, although the official time for floors 1-50 hadn't been released, everyone knew that he had already broken Princess Saint Luni's best record.

 

If this non-specialist successfully set a new record for floors 51-100...

 

It's imaginable that the entire Holy Light Empire would be ecstatic tomorrow!

 

Shu Jingyuan, with a gloomy face, watched this scene, his magical energy already beginning to surge and spread.

 

His magically modified, extremely powerful muscles tightened, and the power emanating from him made others involuntarily flinch.

 

"Impressive, as expected of the second seed in the Dragon Kingdom's solo competition."

 

"This strength is indeed extraordinary..."

 

The audience could feel Shu Jingyuan's furious and intense state through the screen.

 

The advantage of an elemental warrior was being able to fight both close and at a distance, both physically and magically.

 

In many people's eyes, this was a nearly perfect class.

 

However...

 

At this moment, Ling Zhan, with a cold expression, merely lifted his eyes and glanced at Shu Jingyuan.

 

Boom!!

 

It was as if someone had taken a huge hammer and struck Shu Jingyuan's heart heavily!

 

A sudden, intense feeling of suffocation and cardiac arrest emerged!

 

His brain, due to the abrupt halt in blood supply, was overwhelmed by a severe sense of vertigo!

 

Not good!

 

Damn it!

 

It's an ocular technique!

 

Shu Jingyuan gritted his teeth, his face twisted in agony, but his eyes had already rolled back, as if he had been struck on the head and lost consciousness!

 

Under the extremely incredulous gazes of the onlookers...

 

Bang!!

 

Shu Jingyuan's tense, ferocious body fell straight to the ground.

 

Raising a shallow layer of dust!

 

This...

 

Forno was completely stunned!

 

What the hell!?

 

A level 67 Shu Jingyuan was felled by a mere glance!?

 

What kind of skill is this?

 

Could it be an ocular technique!?

 

"Ocular technique!"

 

"It must be an ocular technique!"

 

"Damn! No wonder that kid's eyes gave me a feeling of falling into an abyss; it turns out he also knows an ocular technique!"

 

"..."

 

Outside, the Eden Guild's audience was equally shocked, affirming their guesses.

 

But...

 

They were wrong!

 

It wasn't an ocular technique!

 

It was the 'Hammer of the Mind'!

 

Yes!

 

That seemingly useless but unexpectedly effective A-level general skill!

 

Being an instant-cast skill with no casting movement...

 

Its drawback was that if the opponent's equipment or passive talents had purification effects, it wouldn't work!

 

The reason Ling Zhan suddenly attacked Shu Jingyuan...

 

Was simply because he didn't want to waste more time.

 

After all, if Shu Jingyuan continued to pester and delay, it would be troublesome for Ling Zhan.

 

But he didn't expect Shu Jingyuan to be so confident.

 

Generally speaking.

 

For someone like Shu Jingyuan, who could fight both close and at a distance, it would be best to have purification effects enchanted on their equipment.

 

The reason was simple.

 

In close combat, it's easy to get hit by the opponent's control skills.

 

So to have a margin of error, it's normal for close-combat professionals to have purification effects on their equipment.

 

And Shu Jingyuan falling with one hit indicated that his equipment indeed overestimated his abilities.

 

Perhaps he was confident he wouldn't be interrupted by others' control skills.

 

He didn't expect Ling Zhan to have such mysterious and unpredictable means.

 

"What benefit is there for me to allow you to live stream?"

 

After dealing with Shu Jingyuan.

 

Ling Zhan then turned and asked Forno calmly.

 

Shu Jingyuan wouldn't wake up for at least half an hour.

 

At this point, someone might wonder.

 

Isn't the 'Hammer of the Mind' skill supposed to stun for only 3-5 seconds?

 

How could it cause half an hour of dizziness?

 

As mentioned before...

 

Ling Zhan likes to have multiple strategies for everything.

 

Whether it was the 'Sun and Moon Rotation Talisman' used during the freshman exchange match.

 

Or the 'Scarecrow of Death' during the demon-slaying operation.

 

In reality, if he hadn't made thorough preparations, Ling Zhan would never act easily.

 

Behind the 'Hammer of the Mind' attack, Ling Zhan had also combined a basic skill from the hypnotist class.

 

'Extreme Slumber'.

 

Without the 'Almighty' talent's enhancement, this skill could only induce light sleep.

 

But with the 'Almighty' talent's enhancement, it could force the hit target into a dizzy sleep state.

 

The effect lasted only ten minutes.

 

The remaining twenty minutes...

 

Naturally, he had multiple strategies in place.

 

The taoist's 'Sleep Talisman'.

 

The enchanter's 'Drowsy Flying Insect'.

 

The mesmerist's 'Soul Shock'.

 

The Sleep Talisman, which Ling Zhan had pre-etched on special transparent talisman paper purchased with his Heaven's List points, hidden in his sleeve.

 

When used, it would lock onto the target, the paper merging into the void, and the effect instantly falling on the target.

 

The enchanter's 'Drowsy Flying Insect', having been granted the thief class's 'Invisibility' skill, had already been quietly dancing among the dust in the dungeon.

 

Not to mention the mesmerist's 'Soul Shock'.

 

An instant-cast skill with no casting movement.

 

Enough to catch an unprepared Shu Jingyuan off guard.

 

On the surface, it looked like Ling Zhan just glanced at Shu Jingyuan.

 

And Shu Jingyuan fell with a thud.

 

Leading many to think it was a hypnotic ocular technique by Ling Zhan.

 

But in reality...

 

It was a combination of multiple class skills forming a control chain.

 

Regarding control stacking, the setting in this world is that different class control skills don't stack, but add to the original control duration.

 

Meaning if a talisman master throws a Ghost Explosion Talisman to knock down an opponent.

 

And then a taoist throws a Sleep Talisman to confuse the opponent.

 

The target's control duration would be the sum of 'knockdown' + 'sleep'.

 

In other words...

 

As long as your team is large enough, and each member has a different class, simultaneously throwing control skills...

 

You can indefinitely control the monster.

 

At this point, someone might complain: with such a broken control chain stacking rule, any monster can be eternally controlled by a group collectively using control skills!

 

You're thinking too naively...

 

Don't forget, any higher-level boss or elite monster now has 'control immunity' passive skills.

 

They might activate 'control immunity' either when their health drops below 50%, or right from the start.

 

Of course...

 

Some monsters' 'control immunity' states can be dispelled.

 

But after dispelling, it might automatically recover within 10 seconds.

 

This brief 10-second control and output time depends on the coordination between teammates.

 

Because of this 'different class control chain stacking' setting...

 

Ling Zhan cleverly exploited a 'bug'.

 

He doesn't have much, but he has plenty of skills!

 

And these skills are from different classes!

 

This allows Ling Zhan to perfectly achieve an 'eternal control chain' by himself!

 

Oh, provided the monster is susceptible to control.

 

At this point.

 

Shu Jingyuan probably never imagined that in just an instant, he felt like he was hit with several massive slaps, with skills being hammered onto his face.

 

The key is he really got caught off guard.

 

"Don't wake him up, lest he bothers me."

 

Ling Zhan instructed the guild staff, who were still in shock.

 

These staff had checked both of their platinum VIP cards earlier.

 

Naturally, they knew both of their information.

 

An extremely rare level 45 non-specialist.

 

A also rare level 67 elemental warrior.

 

And yet...

 

The level 67 elemental warrior was taken down in one move.

 

Turns out this elemental warrior was the small fry here.

 

At this moment.

 

Ling Zhan turned again to the old man, whose eyes were wide and mouth agape, having lost all gentlemanly composure, and repeated his question:

 

"So, what benefits are there if I agree to let you live stream?"
