Chapter 827: Appearance! First Phase Mission!

Regarding the handling of the Demon-Slaying Legion headquarters.

All the members on site were very satisfied!

Everything was determined by strength!

Especially since the new Chief Instructor would personally participate—this only made the members even more excited.

One by one, they were already prepared to watch this new instructor make a fool of himself!

Of course...

In their eyes, they didn't even consider the so-called Ling Zhan, a mere non-specialist wanderer, worthy of attention.

The members gathered around the headquarters building finally left, feeling satisfied.

Meanwhile, the top ten members were already preparing themselves for the trial.

Zero Tower of the Abyss.

This was currently the highest-level "trial dungeon" of the Demon-Slaying Legion!

It had only five floors in total!

But the Abyssal Demons imprisoned inside were at least level 160!

The strongest ones reached level 185!

Abyssal Demons between level 151-169 were classified as Demon Generals.

Those above level 170 were designated as Demon Monarchs.

Level 190 and beyond were known as Abyssal Sovereigns.

Zero Tower of the Abyss contained the highest-tier Demon Monarchs.

Even the top ten members of the legion dared not take this trial lightly.

And now, the rankings of the top ten members of the Demon-Slaying Legion had appeared in Ling Zhan's hands.

First, Molders, level 186, Tier-4 Oblivion Archmage.

Second, Ye Qingling, level 184, Tier-4 Grand Celestial Master.

Third, Bazel, level 182, Tier-4 Dragonbane Archmage.

Fourth, Armand, level 180, Tier-4 Lord of Cataclysm.

Fifth, Derek, level 180, Tier-4 Starbreaker War God.

...

The top five were all level 180 powerhouses.

The sixth to tenth place members were all above level 170.

Looking at the list in his hands, Ling Zhan's expression remained unchanged, his eyes indifferent.

At this moment, Yun Man gently placed a cup of warm tea on Ling Zhan's desk. Glancing at the holographic screen displaying the email contents, she couldn't help but chuckle:

"Looks like it's another group of ignorant fools."

Ling Zhan said calmly, "It's fine, I'm used to it."

He really was used to it.

The topic of non-specialist wanderers had always been a matter of controversy.

In this world of transferees, if you didn't choose a class, you would be looked down upon and ridiculed no matter where you went.

Under such circumstances.

No matter where Ling Zhan went, he was always underestimated.

This was normal.

After all, in the entire lower realm, Ling Zhan was the only one who had walked the path of a non-specialist wanderer.

Just as Ling Zhan was calmly sipping his tea, watching the screen...

[Ding!]

The system's voice finally rang out on time.

[Detected that the host will participate in the Demon-Slaying Trial Tournament tomorrow. Now issuing the first-phase mission!]

[Mission Name: Crush Them All!]

[Mission Content: Completely dominate all challengers in the Demon-Slaying Trial Tournament and firmly establish your position as the Chief Instructor of the Demon-Slaying Legion!!]

[Mission Reward: Based on host's performance!]

[Mission Penalty: None!]

[Host, please complete the mission with full effort!]

...

It's here!!

The system had mentioned before that entering the Ten Thousand Demons Continent would trigger the final mission of the lower realm!

Now, the first phase of the mission had arrived!

As expected, whenever Ling Zhan encountered a significant event, the system would always issue a challenge mission in advance.

And now that Ling Zhan was practically equipped with full saint-tier gear, he was more than happy to receive the system's challenges.

"Hoo."

Ling Zhan let out a slow breath.

In truth, he wasn't too keen on being this so-called Chief Instructor.

After all, for him, these titles and honors that others saw as glorious were nothing but vanity.

But since the system had issued a mission, he might as well reluctantly play the role of Chief Instructor.

...

The next day.

Ether City, Demon-Slaying Legion Headquarters.

It wasn't even eight o'clock, and the area was already packed with people.

Countless media reporters, having been informed in advance by the Demon-Slaying Legion headquarters, knew that a major event was about to unfold today.

So, they all rushed over, bringing live-streaming cameramen with them to broadcast the event in real time.

Meanwhile, on the internet, major news and live-streaming platforms were already exploding with traffic!

Millions of viewers worldwide were eagerly seated in front of their screens, waiting to see how spectacular today's Demon-Slaying Trial would be!

"I have to say, the Demon-Slaying Legion Headquarters' response to this situation is excellent! Let strength speak!"

"Do you guys think that non-specialist wanderer has any chance of winning this trial?"

"No way, absolutely not! Molders will definitely crush that non-specialist wanderer!"

"That's Zero Tower of the Abyss! A level 160 non-specialist wanderer probably won't even survive the first floor, let alone win the tournament. He's dreaming!"

"Yeah, that's true…"

"..."

Online discussions were already ablaze.

While the outside world was in a frenzy over this matter.

The person in question, Ling Zhan, remained completely unaffected.

After waking up, he stuck to his daily training routine.

Naturally, his three contract beast girls had to train alongside their master.

Little Golden Crow and Little Holy Dragon, the two small creatures, were also dashing around the training grounds on their tiny legs like lightning bolts.

Don't be fooled by their young age—both were already over level 100, with all four attributes far surpassing other divine beasts of the same level.

As they ran, sparks and afterimages trailed behind them at high speed.

After training was finished.

They then enjoyed a peaceful breakfast.

Only then did they leisurely head out.

Yun Man and Chang Yue carried Little Golden Crow and Little Holy Dragon, while Meng Shuang held onto Ling Zhan's sleeve, bouncing along as they walked.

They looked just like a family out on a spring picnic, completely relaxed and carefree.

Meanwhile, at the Demon-Slaying Legion Headquarters.

The members were all in high spirits, while the top ten wore serious expressions.

After all, for them, conquering the Zero Tower of the Abyss was no easy feat.

Especially with the entire Ten Thousand Demons Continent watching this trial live.

Honestly, the pressure on the top ten members was immense.

If they made fools of themselves here, it would be utterly humiliating.

And just in this tense atmosphere.

Buzz!!

In the distance, a figure emerged from the teleportation array.

Tap!!

The crisp sound of footsteps landed.

Then, everyone saw a tall, well-proportioned figure appear before them, accompanied by three stunningly beautiful girls.

"Gawoo!"

Seeing so many eyes staring at them, Little Holy Dragon bared its teeth with an aggressive expression.

"Mii!"

Little Golden Crow, on the other hand, lifted its small head arrogantly, full of disdain for these people.

"He's here!"

"That's Ling Zhan!"

Naturally, everyone ignored the two adorably fierce little beasts and locked their gazes onto the calm young man.

Contempt, mockery, curiosity, doubt… various expressions flashed across their faces.

Countless hostile stares bore down on him.

If looks could kill.

Ling Zhan would already be riddled with holes.

Yet, unfazed by these stares, Ling Zhan stepped into the plaza and walked straight toward the chief seat.

That's right!

The chief seat!

Because on the platform, there were five seats in total!

Four for the commanding officers.

And one for Ling Zhan, the Chief Instructor!
