Wang Haiping abruptly stopped speaking and exchanged a glance with Xiao Yong, both turning their heads simultaneously.
Not far behind, Yang Jian was staring dumbfounded at the display screen in front of him. Upon hearing this, several people around him also cast surprised glances.
"Instantly kill a Bronze-level Black Shadow Leopard? How is that possible? Little Yang, quickly replay it and let's see!"
"My God, it really is an instant kill!"
"Is that the Steel Flame Finger he used? Is Steel Flame Finger that powerful?"
"To run as fast as a Black Shadow Leopard, is this even a speed a Star Apprentice can achieve? I might not even run as fast as him!"
The scenes on the screen were so shocking that the City Guards forgot that the Director of the Education Bureau was still standing in the command center, and they blurted out swear words.
Wang Haiping and Xiao Yong also turned and came over.
"Yang Jian, what's happening?" Xiao Yong asked directly.
Seeing Xiao Yong and Wang Haiping coming over, Yang Jian quickly replayed the footage.
"Captain, Director Wang, look at this playback, this student No. 388 just poked the Black Shadow Leopard to death in a single encounter, even under a surprise attack, he's truly impressive!"
Ever since Su Yuan had killed three miasma snakes, Yang Jian had been paying close attention to Su Yuan.
Although Su Yuan's subsequent performances were also quite brilliant, they weren't particularly striking because he hadn't encountered any sufficiently powerful Star Beasts.
But this time it was different, he had quietly killed a Bronze-level Star Beast!
Wang Haiping and Xiao Yong quickly looked at the images on the display screen.
In a valley in the rainforest, student No. 388 was resting under a big tree.
Not far behind him, a Bronze Early Stage Shadow Leopard was silently leaping closer and closer from within the shadows.
The Shadow Leopard, wielding the Dark Element Shadow Power, was rather eerie, limited in direct combat abilities but particularly adept at ambushes.
Soon, the Shadow Leopard used Shadow Jump, with numerous trees' shadows as its medium, moving within ten meters behind a large tree close to student No. 388.
Moving any closer might have alerted his prey, the Shadow Leopard suddenly burst forth, launching the skill "Shadow Strike" and turning into a shadow that plunged into the ground, swiftly shooting towards the back of student No. 388 without a sound, and suddenly leaped out to strike!
Just as the Shadow Leopard was about to successfully ambush, a fierce gust suddenly arose around student No. 388's body, and his body, like a feather blown open, quickly and fleetingly moved to the side in the nick of time!
"This movement technique!"
Just this response and maneuver alone brightened Wang Haiping's eyes.
However, the next scene was even more surprising to Wang Haiping.
Seeing the student No. 388 who dodged the attack, he did not take the opportunity to distance himself but instead, his feet stirred up wind, stepping forward to catch up to the leaping Shadow Leopard and with a backhand pressed down on its neck, pinning it to the ground, and the forefinger of his other hand suddenly surged with flames, stabbing into the head of the Shadow Leopard!
The Shadow Leopard's body twitched and it died completely.
Student No. 388 shook his right hand, dispersing the flames on his forefinger, deftly pulled out a long knife from the corpse to extract the Star Core, nodded satisfactorily, and then continued to rest as if nothing had happened.
Super strong situational reaction, rapid and flexible movements, overwhelming strength, high lethal skill!
From being attacked to counter-attacking to dissecting the corpse, it was clean and efficient, even smoother than fluid - it was ultra-clear!
"Perfect Level Steel Flame Finger, and at least Great Success Stage Wind Walking!" Xiao Yong took a deep breath, his expression solemn, "Good kid, is his long knife just specially used for dissecting?+"
Upon hearing Xiao Yong's assessment, the surrounding City Guards were all greatly shocked.
"What?! This is a Perfect Level Steel Flame Finger?"
"There's no mistake, it's not the Perfect Level Steel Flame Finger, nor is it possible for a Star Apprentice Eighth Stage to kill a Bronze-level Shadow Leopard with a single strike. He probably couldn't even break through the leopard's skin defenses!"
"But Perfect Level Steel Flame Finger, how is this possible? Many in our City Guard Army have embedded Steel Flame Finger, and only four have mastered it to perfection, and even they took over three years at the minimum!"
All skills, as they progress, become increasingly difficult to train. Even the most common White Card Skills take years to master to perfection, and success isn't guaranteed.
In this group of over twenty City Guards, probably only one or two have Perfect Skills.
Of course, one reason is that many people stop practicing their original White Skills once they acquire Green Skills.
"Director Wang, what do you think..."
Xiao Yong was about to ask when he turned his head and found Wang Haiping staring intently at the monitor screen, his eyes burning with fervor, and even slightly losing composure!
Xiao Yong was stunned, then quickly realized that for him and others, a talented student was merely surprising, but for the Education Bureau, it meant something entirely different.
"Xiao Yong, pull up his file!" Wang Haiping, agitated, even forgot the formalities and directly called Xiao Yong by his name.
"Okay, Yang Jian, pull up the information for student number 388."
"Yes!"
Yang Jian responded, rapidly retrieving the data for student number 388 on the console, and displaying it on the screen.
[Name: Su Yuan]
[Number: 388]
[School: Guangchuan Fourth Middle School]
[Realm: Star Apprentice Eighth Stage]
"Su Yuan? Star Apprentice Eighth Stage?" Looking at the information on the big screen, Wang Haiping spoke again, "Pull up Fang Kun's information."
Fang Kun's information was easy to find, Yang Jian himself had looked through it several times, and he quickly pulled it up next to Su Yuan's information.
[Name: Fang Kun]
[Number: 001]
[School: Guangchuan First Middle School]
[Realm: Star Apprentice Ninth Rank]
[Soul Card: Furious Tiger (Master)]
[Introduction: Special recruit of Shuzhou College, possesses two Green Skills "Superstate Vision" and "Bloodthirsty Battle Intent," as well as a Great Success White Skill "Black Tiger Strong Strike," with double C in strength and constitution, excels in head-on combat.]
Wang Haiping slightly frowned and asked, "Fang Kun's information includes a Soul Card and an introduction, why does Su Yuan only have this much?"
Compared side by side, Su Yuan's information was extremely scarce.
This genius student who had mastered a Perfect Skill only has this little information?
Xiao Yong explained, "Director Wang, this is all there is. The information for each student is summarized and provided by their school teachers. Since this is a trial and not a selection, we only require the name, school, and realm. All other information is optionally provided by the schools."
Wang Haiping's frown deepened, "What is Guangchuan Fourth Middle School doing? Even if he's just a Star Apprentice Eighth Stage, how can a genius with a Perfect Skill have so little information! Send a message out, have the Guangchuan Fourth Middle School team leader come in!"
In the Secret Realm, normal communication cannot reach the outside, only special methods can maintain contact with the outside world.
Xiao Yong responded and hurried to the side to send a message.
