Chapter 548: Public Opinion Storm
Chapter 548: Public Opinion Storm
Winter had arrived.
But on Underworld Island, the weather was still warm and sunny.
The scenery and season here remained like this year-round.
Therefore,
Underworld Island was often called the ideal paradise for retirement and vacations.
As a result, Tianxiu City’s prosperity rivaled even the capital of the Holy Light Empire.
Perhaps even surpassed it.
When Ling Zhan and his team arrived in Tianxiu City, the Global Job Transition Association had already arranged lodging for the elites from each country.
Of course…
the members of the evil organizations had to make their own accommodations. Although this was neutral ground, their actions made them unwelcome in the eyes of many.
“The competition rules are simple: do whatever it takes to kill the opponent!”
“Beyond that, there aren’t any special rules.”
“So go ahead and strike; there won’t be any trouble.”
“Furthermore, the Demon Arrival Organization has arranged for plenty of global media outlets to be here for live broadcasts.”
“In a way, this is like a world tournament, except this time, nearly all participants are over level ninety.”
“If we lose, the world’s viewers will see each national military as a joke.”
“We absolutely cannot lose!”
One of the four-tier elites traveling with them spoke seriously to the assembled prodigies.
The young elites nodded, understanding the gravity of the situation.
Besides…
the competition rules were clear and straightforward.
It was a direct battle between the two factions.
National Corps VS. Evil Organizations.
During the draw, one participant from each side would be selected, and they would duel.
This continued until one side’s participants were completely wiped out.
If not, the battles would go on!
This brutal format showed the evil organizations’ determination to humiliate the national corps in front of everyone.
After a quick briefing, the team went to rest.
Ling Zhan had not been idle over the past half-month.
He’d joined several small skirmishes.
His level also took a leap forward!
Finally, he broke through the 70th level barrier!
【Name: Ling Zhan】

…】
【HP Recovery Rate: 10,000 / S】
【MP Recovery Rate: 10,000 / S】
【Max HP: 50,000】
【Max MP: 99,999】
【Assignable Attribute Points: 0】
【Assignable Skill Points: 12,000】
………
Ling Zhan’s attributes were greatly enhanced, along with his resistances and HP.
However…
the MP value remained the same.
This seemed to be the maximum MP and couldn’t increase further.
These stats were far beyond what an ordinary level 70 could have.
Of course…
this was Ling Zhan’s foundation for surpassing opponents of higher levels.
News of Ling Zhan reaching level 70 spread quickly among the reservists, sparking further amazement.
“This non-specialist is just something else—he’s already a powerhouse, and his leveling speed is terrifying!”
“True, he’ll find taking out those cult members a breeze now.”
“At this rate, I bet he’ll hit level 90, maybe even 100, within a year.”
“I wouldn’t believe that from anyone else, but if you say it’s Ling Zhan, I believe it. He’s already achieved so many miracles.”
“…”
The anticipation for the deathmatch fueled even greater excitement in Tianxiu City.
Countless people eagerly awaited the showdown.
“I heard the non-specialist is competing!”
“Seriously!? You mean the dual champion?”
“Yes!”
“Huh? Can he even hold his own? I thought he was only level 60-something?”
“Exactly, and he’s joining a battle of this level? His growth rate is insane!”
“Come on, stop exaggerating. With that level difference, he’s practically asking for death. He can’t seriously think that being a dual champion lets him compete with level 90 beasts?”
“You’ve got a point; the level gap is just too big. The higher you go, the more each level adds hundreds of stat points. No matter how special the non-specialist is, he can’t bridge that gap.”
“I hope he holds back. With his potential, he doesn’t need to rush. Heck, I nearly forgot he’s still a first-year student!”
“Exactly! I wouldn’t even remember if you hadn’t mentioned it! He can give himself two or three more years to grow—then he’d be on par with them.”
“Maybe he’s being too impulsive, or maybe the Demon Arrival Organization got under his skin…”
“…”
The general public knew nothing about the fortress’s secrets or intel.
Few of them were aware of Ling Zhan’s current status in the battle zones.
So, in their eyes, Ling Zhan was still just the recent dual champion.
Naturally, this led to widespread doubt about his chances.
“Excellent! Public opinion is currently in our favor!”
“When the opening match starts, if we can take down one of their elites, it’ll further sour the public’s opinion of the military.”
In a hotel in Tianxiu City,
a group of figures sat together, sipping wine.
They talked as they drank, discussing recent events.
Each of them bore visible demonic markings.
They didn’t mind openly displaying themselves, unconcerned with the passing servers’ reactions.
After all, even the Demon Arrival Organization could show their true selves here without fear of reprisal.
“Let’s toast to our upcoming victory!”
“Cheers!”
The members of the Demon Arrival Organization had already started celebrating with champagne.
