Chapter 161 Chapter 126: Competition of debuff skills! Who is the strongest support?

Translator: 549690339

“What method?”

In the foreign team, a blonde, chestnut-eyed man frowned.

Joseph looked at this impatient group of new professionists, sneering inwardly.

They were hell-bent on obtaining this worldly treasure, having received strict orders from above before they came.

At all costs, they need to snatch this treasure.

On the surface, Terence was the leader of their group.

One of the six eight-star professionists, his close combat abilities were formidable, making him the strongest among them.

But behind the scenes, over ten people looked up to him, deeming him the brains of this small team.

His initial plan was simple: to gain the position of the alliance chief, if only in name.

That way, when they besieged Blood Guanyin, they could occupy a favorable position and snatch the worldly treasure!

And a competition was undeniably the simplest way!

Terence, years ago, was an illegal immigrant from Moor Country who ended up in Eagle Nation and, driven to desperation, began fighting in the underground black market, boasting eighty-seven undefeated fights!

Born with extraordinary strength, he was best skilled in using his fists to tear his enemies apart, making him extremely powerful in battlefield fights!

The professionist organization in Eagle Nation secretly recruited him and sent him to Xia Country as an exchange student.

As expected, during the awakening ceremony, he stunningly awakened as an eight-star hidden profession: Beastman Swordsaint!

Instantly, he became the talk of the town.

Joseph was confident that as long as the battleground was set, even if the opponent was a nine-star professionist, Terence would definitely win!

In Xia Country, people believed in stopping when the situation calls for it during competitions, possibly showing mercy. But Terence didn’t care about that.

Once it came down to life and death, Xia country’s professionist would undoubtedly lose!

Originally, they had already forced all the new professionists of the Qinzhou Province in Xia Country into a position where they had no choice but to compete with them. So how did this professionist from Li Family in Qinzhou have any other methods?

Li Zhen adjusted his glasses and said, “The great battle is imminent. If any of you happened to get injured in the competition, that would be more harm than good.”

“If this somehow leads to the failure of the plan to besiege Blood Guanyin and the savages, I think the people behind you wouldn’t want to see such a thing happen either.”

The color drained from Joseph’s face as he stopped Terence from wanting to roar in response.

“Li family’s descendant, Li Zhen, right? Do you have any good methods?”

“Very simple.” Li Zhen smiled, “I remember Mr. Joseph is a seven-star Dark Sorcerer, isn’t he?”

“That’s right!”

Joseph spoke proudly.

His position as the leader of this team depends not on family background, but on true power!

Dark Sorcerer!

Manipulating the dark elements to weaken the determined target.

The ability to turn a vigorous tiger into a helpless, tiny mouse.

What’s more, his various skills even carry elemental attribute attacks.

Corroding skins, annihilating flesh, they are extremely malevolent.

Li Zhen chuckled, “How about we go this way, each one of us sends out a support professionist to weaken the strongest forces from the other side.”

“Within a specified time, the faster, more potent the debuff effect in action, wins. What do you think?”

In no time, the entire conference room was alive with chatter.

“What kind of absurd method is this? Using debuff to weaken the target as the basis for the comparison?”

“Since Li Zhen could come up with this idea, he surely has a plan!”

“I know now! Li Zhen’s sister Li Jiao, she’s a Dark Priest! Rumored to be the strongest support professionist!”

“No wonder! If there’s a Dark Priest among us, we’re absolutely going to win!”

“What a great idea!”

Listening to the heated discussions in the room, Joseph also frowned.

“Dark Priest? I wonder whose skills are superior between hers and mine?”

Terence also chimed in, “Joseph, do you want to compete?”

“What do you think?”

“Of course we should!”

Joseph said excitedly, “You should be clear about my strength. Plus, I have a very strong physical condition.”

“Your strongest skill, Dark Praise, doesn’t even last five seconds on me. How could I fear a little girl?”

Joseph’s eyes widened.

That was right.

If they compared the strength of the debuff skills of the support professions, in addition to comparing the power of the support professions themselves, they’d have to measure the quality, resistance, and physical strength of the ones being cast the spells!

And Terence…

He had been incredibly strong since childhood, being called the “Bloodthirsty Beast” during his time in the underground black market.

Upon awakening as an eight-star hidden profession Beastman Swordsaint, his physical status improved dramatically.

When he unleashed his fury, he was like a berserk gorilla!

Joseph instantly said, “We agree!”

At that moment, Qin Zheng was whispering to Li Zhen.

“Why did you come up with this idea? You want Jiaojiao to step in?”

Li Zhen shook his head, “Jiaojiao is strong enough, but she’s on par with Joseph. It’s not necessarily safe.”

“Then who is…”

“Didn’t Zheng Cheng also come?” Li Zhen said with a strange tone, “Even Bai Jingqi couldn’t handle it for a few seconds. I don’t believe this Gorilla Terence could.”

“Damn!”

Qin Zheng raved, “Why didn’t I think of that! I want to try Zheng Cheng’s Acute Gastroenteritis Instant Eruption Technique too…”

“Shut up!!!”

At that moment Bai Jingqi also brought Zheng Cheng over. Everyone nodded to each other and Li Zhen said in a low voice, “What do you think Zheng Cheng, can you take the stage for Jiaojiao?”

Looking at everyone’s eager expressions, Zheng Cheng helplessly said, “Can I refuse?”

Everyone chorused, “No!!!”

“Isn’t that obvious?” Zheng Cheng said, “I just don’t know about the others…”

At this moment, Jiang Muyun suddenly walked over to Zheng Cheng.

“Brother Zheng Cheng, you’re here~”

Behind her, over a dozen Professionists glared fiercely.

Zheng Cheng frowned, “Miss Jiang Muyun, is there something wrong?”

“Where is Sister Song Chaoyu? Why can’t I see her?”

Zheng Cheng said, “She went out shopping.”

When several of them came over, Song Chaoyu and Lin Jianyue slipped away, saying they wanted to look around.

And Yao Zhixue was also dragged along by them.

“I see…”

Jiang Muyun contemplated for a while and said immediately, “I withdraw my name, you guys carry on!”

Without caring about the attempts of those behind her to stop her, under the gaze of dozens of strange eyes, she ran out in a flash.

“Damn it! What the hell is this little girl doing?”

“Why did she withdraw?”

“What’s her deal?”

The crowd chatted ceaselessly, and Zheng Cheng was instantly on high alert.

“Jiang Muyun, Song Chaoyu… She couldn’t be targeting Chaoyu, could she?”

“After all, Chaoyu’s identity as a Professionist comes from her mother…”

“Zheng Cheng!”

Li Zhen asks, “What’s the deal with that Jiang Muyun?”

“I’m not sure, I’ll investigate when I get back.”

“Okay, she has a special status, many people are keeping an eye on her.” Li Zhen reminded, “Not only the Night Watchers.”

Zheng Cheng nodded, “I got it.”

At this moment, Zhu Chengyu also made his decision and agreed to the contest.

Li Zhen whispered, “Zhu Chengyu’s team has a seven-star auxiliary Professionist, who seems to be called the Green Dragon Envoy, and also has debuff skills!”

“Let’s get started!”

Terence couldn’t wait any longer and stood up, “Who’s going first?”

Li Zhen said, “Let’s switch places. It’s too narrow here to perform properly.”

“Fine!”

The crowd quickly moved to a large square outside the meeting room.

The news that Qin Zheng, Zhu Chengyu, and Terence were about to have a contest quickly spread throughout the Nineteenth City.

“Damn! The three bosses are going to compete! Who can win?”

“It’s not them who are competing! It’s the auxiliary professionals in their respective groups competing in a debuff contest!”

“A debuff competition? What’s the use?”

“See who can last the longest. The longer they last, the higher their resistance! Higher resistance means greater strength from the opponent in essence!”

“Good idea, otherwise, if anyone gets hurt, it’s not good…”

“In our Qinzhou, among the three major nine-star professionals, Qin Zheng and Zhu Chengyu are present, where is Yao Zhixue?”

“I think I just saw her at the market…”

“Damn that little white horse, but for him, we would have chosen the League Master by now!”

“Damn him! It’s just that we don’t know who they will choose to make a move on?”

“I know this! Qin Zheng’s team will definitely choose Li Zhen’s sister, Li Jiao, who is a seven-star Dark Priest!”

“Terence’s team, on the other hand, is their deputy captain, Joseph, a seven-star Dark Warlock!”

“And for Zhu Chengyu’s team, it’s a Professionist called Green Dragon Envoy, who is also at the seven-star level!”

“I know him, his name is Lin Feng, and he specializes in using poison!”

The crowd was buzzing with discussion as Terence and Joseph stood in the middle of the square.

“Hurry up! Don’t waste time!”

With a loud cry, Zhu Chengyu and another burly youth stepped forward.

Zhu Chengyu said, “If it weren’t for the task at hand, I’d really like to compete with you.”

Terence laughed heartily, “Hahaha, me too!”

“After this task is over, there’s still the singles ranking competition, right? I’ll definitely defeat you personally then!”

“I’m looking forward to it!”

At this moment, Qin Zheng and Zheng Cheng also joined hands and walked onto the square.

Joseph’s gaze suddenly shifted and fell upon Zheng Cheng.

This teenager… Why didn’t he recognize him?

“Li Zhen, why didn’t you let your sister come up?”

“Who is he? Won’t you introduce him?”

Li Zhen, in the crowd, gave a “hey hey” laugh and said, “You’ll know in a while!”

There were also many people around discussing, “Who is he?”

“I don’t know him, never seen him before.”

“I’ve collected all high-level Professionists above the seven-star level, but he’s not one of them.”

“I know him! We were saved by him when we came here! He seems to be called Zheng Cheng!”

“Zheng Cheng? Sounds familiar…”

“He’s from the Twelfth Middle School! Damn, how did Zheng Cheng get so close to Qin Zheng and his team, I’m so envious!”

“Zheng Cheng from the Twelfth Middle School, I think I remember, is he a priest?”

“Yes, that’s him…”

The crowd was buzzing, and at the right time, Li Zhen shouted, “The contest is very simple!”

“The three auxiliary Professionists will take turns applying debuff skills to the other two. Whoever’s skill takes effect the fastest and lasts the longest wins, how about it?”

“I agree!”

Zhu Chengyu and Lin Feng were the first to shout.

Joseph’s brow furrowed, he instinctively felt something was off, but he trusted in his and Terence’s strength, nodding, “No problem!”

“But let me remind you, let your lower-ranking priests, sacrifices, and other recovery Professionists get ready. Don’t fall under my skills.”

“Hahahahaha…”
