Gunslinger.
A long-range physical DPS*.
<
This profession is very different from that of a marksman.
Most marksman skills are single-target strikes with powerful armor penetration, effectively eliminating individual enemy units.
In contrast, most of the Gunslinger's skills are highly powerful AOE (area of effect) skills with extremely high damage and wide coverage.
In a team, they are positioned similarly to mages, being fragile and in need of protection.
It's well known.
Mages are a team-oriented profession, and the same goes for Gunslingers.
Yet He Chuan, as a Gunslinger, is unanimously recognized by all third-year students as the fifth seed in the solo tournament of the Beast Wars competition.
This indicates that He Chuan's combat skills must be extremely exceptional, allowing him to hold his own against other professions of the same level in one-on-one combat.
Many fragile professions become reliant on team protection, leading to a decline in their individual combat skill levels.
But clearly, He Chuan is not one of them.
"He Chuan's individual combat skills are also exceptionally outstanding."
"In the entire Tianyan Academy, aside from those fourth-year students who are fully committed to the frontline battlefield, the only one who can surpass He Chuan is Li Chaoge."
"I'm sure these two youngsters can provide us with a highly entertaining battle!"
Dean Zhou on the main platform smiled with satisfaction.
At this moment.
On the arena.
Ling Zhan and He Chuan faced each other, neither wasting any words!
The countdown on the virtual projection in the air reached '1.'
At that moment.
Almost simultaneously.
Click!
Click!
Two crisp footsteps sounded simultaneously!
Two figures moved at the same time!
However, one advanced while the other retreated!
Indeed.
As a Gunslinger, He Chuan's primary task at the start was to create distance!
And Ling Zhan, who understood the Gunslinger class well, wasn't about to give He Chuan the chance to pull away!
It's worth noting...
At this moment, neither of them had drawn their weapons!
Both were barehanded!
"So fast!!"
Under the astonished gazes of all the spectators.
The two figures on the arena seemed to transform into irregular, broken lines of light, making it impossible to track them with the naked eye!
"I remember that Senior He Chuan comes from an ancient martial arts family, right?"
"That's correct, the He family has practiced martial arts for generations, and they currently have three Martial Gods in their ranks. Although He Chuan didn't pursue the martial artist profession, he grew up enduring rigorous physical training."
"This resulted in Senior He Chuan's strength, physique, and agility attributes far exceeding those of all other Gunslingers of the same level!"
"Moreover, Senior He Chuan probably inherited many martial arts secrets that have no class restrictions!"
"Damn! That makes Senior He Chuan pretty awesome!"
Indeed, he is impressive.
He Chuan's powerful physique, forged from a young age, directly compensated for the Gunslinger's shortcoming of lacking mobility.
"But this non-specialist can cling to Senior He Chuan so tightly, it's a bit exaggerated..."
"Wait! He's actually caught up!"
Someone couldn't help but exclaim.
On the arena, the two pursuing figures finally converged!
Ling Zhan had actually caught up with He Chuan!
With an expressionless face, Ling Zhan didn't hesitate, directly throwing a punch at the equally composed He Chuan!
'Explosive Fist'!
A basic skill of the Sanda profession!
Boom!!
A powerful force erupted from Ling Zhan's fist, creating a roaring sound like an explosion of flames!
No wonder he's a non-specialist!
His all-encompassing skills allowed Ling Zhan to unleash terrifying damage even without a weapon!
Faced with the incoming and powerful 'Explosive Fist,' He Chuan remained remarkably calm.
At this moment, he finally drew his weapon!
It was a shotgun covered in magical runes!
Boom!!
He Chuan didn't hesitate to pull the trigger at Ling Zhan!
The double-barreled muzzle spat out dazzling flames, unleashing a terrifying spread of shot!
Even more frightening, the spread shot was imbued with additional magical effects!
Here it comes!
This is the classic Gunslinger technique for dealing with being engaged in close combat!
Using the massive recoil from the shotgun blast, He Chuan's figure was propelled backward, completely evading the range of the 'Explosive Fist'!
Not only that.
The shotgun pellets, like exploding fireworks with unpredictable trajectories, pierced through the gaps in the punch's force, heading straight for Ling Zhan!
Just when everyone thought Ling Zhan would be torn apart by the powerful spread shot.
In the blink of an eye.
Clang!!
A piercing sword clang resonated!
Accompanied by a snow-white sword light that appeared out of thin air!
Buzz!!
With the snow-white sword light swinging, Ling Zhan showcased his extraordinary swordsmanship in front of everyone, perfectly slicing the spread shot bullets in half!
'Quick Draw'!
A basic skill of the Swordsman profession!
The 'Quick Draw' technique allows you to unsheathe your sword at lightning speed, and after drawing, it provides a substantial attack speed boost!
With the enhancement from 'Almighty,' Ling Zhan's Quick Draw not only had the instantaneous speed and additional attack power but also granted him incredibly sharp perception.
So much so that Ling Zhan precisely sliced through the spread shot bullets with his eyes closed!
Just as everyone was about to marvel at Ling Zhan's exceptional swordsmanship.
He Chuan, who had already created distance, had pulled out an anti-tank sniper rifle with a cold, metallic feel!
This anti-tank sniper rifle was engraved with golden dragon patterns, depicting the head of a Western dragon.
Faintly, it seemed as though a dragon's roar echoed, and a terrifying dragon might truly emanated from it!
Dragon Sniper!!
This was not just a game weapon in name only!
This was a weapon that had been genuinely bathed in real dragon blood!
"It's the 'Dragon Slayer'!"
In that instant.
Azure Dragon Meng Zhang immediately recognized the weapon in He Chuan's hand.
Dragon Slayer!
A superior spirit weapon!
It is said that the original creator of this weapon went to great lengths, sending a fourth-tier expert into the forbidden blood pool of the Western Dragon Clan, risking death to retrieve several liters of dragon blood with a storage ring.
The blood in this dragon blood pool was a mixture of the essence blood left behind by generations of Western Dragon Clan leaders upon their death.
The creator then immersed the weapon in the stolen dragon blood for several years.
This finally elevated the weapon to the status of a superior spirit weapon.
The creator's original purpose was to forge a weapon capable of instantly killing Western dragons.
Subsequently, indeed, several powerful individuals wielded this weapon on the battlefield, slaying numerous Western dragons, including a Level 100 Holy Dragon!
The weapon's whereabouts remained a mystery after that.
Until a Martial God from the He family found it while exploring an ancient battlefield secret realm in the Western countries.
That Martial God then handed the 'Dragon Slayer' to He Chuan.
This showed the immense expectations placed on He Chuan.
It could be seen as destiny.
After all, the He family had practiced martial arts for generations, but He Chuan was the only one who chose to become a Gunslinger.
It was fitting that the Martial God acquired this spirit weapon, specifically suited for the Gunslinger class.
Moreover, He Chuan had shown exceptional talent.
Pairing the 'Dragon Slayer' with him was indeed a perfect match.
