At 7:30 PM.
A grand banquet officially commenced in the hotel.
Each third-year student from various schools entered in an orderly fashion, dressed in formal attire.
The students from different schools didn't know each other well, forming distinct groups.
The noble ladies who had been waiting there brightened up upon seeing these confident and upright students.
As expected of job-changers.
Their demeanor alone far surpassed that of ordinary people, not to mention their looks.
Of course...
The noble ladies were composed and wouldn't approach recklessly.
Throwing oneself at someone is the lowest form of charm.
Making these men willingly fall at their feet was the ultimate goal.
However, these students had no interest in the noble ladies.
They were searching the banquet hall for a particular figure.
"Hmm? Where's that non-specialist?"
"Hasn't arrived yet?"
"Wow, not only did he get in through connections, but now he's making us wait for him?"
"There! That guy's here!"
As the last sentence fell.
The already angry third-year students from various schools instantly focused on the entrance.
A tall figure in a black suit slowly walked in.
As soon as this figure appeared.
Wow!!
The first to react were the noble ladies who attended the banquet with ulterior motives.
"So handsome!!"
"He looks even better in person than on the live stream!"
"Help!! I think I can give up on Shou Jingyuan, I want Ling Zhan as my first choice!"
"..."
People are visual creatures.
First impressions are often based on appearance.
So...
Even in a black suit, Ling Zhan, who looked like a celestial being, caused these noble ladies to exclaim as soon as he entered.
"Damn it!!"
And the third-year students who had been eyeing him resentfully were now even more displeased with the noble ladies.
What made them grit their teeth even more...
This useless non-specialist was accompanied by three beautiful girls with different charms!
On his left was a tall, slender figure in a tight-fitting red dress, her red hair complementing her fiery appearance, making her look like a flame princess.
Her delicate features carried a touch of arrogance.
She seemed both imposing and heroic.
On his right was a voluptuous and sexy figure in a purple veil, wearing a black gown with a royal style, her charming face exuding maturity that contradicted her appearance.
An enchanting fairy.
This was the first impression all male students had of her.
As for the last figure...
A petite, cute girl with a delicate, sculpted face full of mythical beast arrogance, walking in front of Ling Zhan with her hands on her hips, like a mighty general protecting him.
However, it wasn't their heroic, charming, or cute appearances that shocked everyone.
What truly stunned them...
Were the obviously non-human features of these three beautiful girls!
A pair of green dragon horns.
A pair of drooping rabbit ears.
A red flame mark on the forehead and golden rings emitting mythical beast's aura on the ankles of snowy white feet.
All of this clearly indicated the identities of these three girls as mythical beasts!
Three mythical beasts accompanying Ling Zhan!
"Holy crap!! How is this possible!"
"He contracted three mythical beasts? I thought it was just the Azure Dragon?"
"I don't get it! How can a useless non-specialist contract three mythical beasts?"
"Damn it! The world is so unfair!"
"..."
Even the third-year students from prestigious schools, who didn't care about Ling Zhan initially, were now glaring at him with unbelievable anger.
Even the incredibly proud Shou Jingyuan froze, his hand holding a champagne glass stiffening.
Shou Jingyuan's contracted beast was a spiritual beast, not a mythical beast.
He had tried to contract those devastating mythical beasts.
But he never gained the favor of any mythical beast.
Maybe it was because he had modified himself too much with magic...
Or maybe it was his overly dark personality.
In any case, Shou Jingyuan was the only solo contestant without a mythical beast in the team.
Yet he managed to secure his spot with his immense personal strength.
Now...
Seeing that a useless non-specialist like Ling Zhan had the favor of three mythical beasts, the regret buried deep in his heart was undeniably stirred.
A Level 27 useless non-specialist...
Why can he contract three mythical beasts!?
Why!!
"Damn it!!"
Crack!!
The sudden surge of rage in Shou Jingyuan's heart made him lose control of his strength, crushing the champagne glass in his hand.
Ke Long, standing beside him, was startled by Shou Jingyuan's sudden anger.
But following Shou Jingyuan's gaze full of hatred, he locked onto the tall figure who remained composed despite the many stares.
As Shou Jingyuan's lackey, without any hesitation.
Ke Long, holding a wine glass, quickly walked towards Ling Zhan.
His face filled with an extremely joyful and courteous smile.
"You must be Ling Zhan, right? I've heard a lot about you. My name is Ke Long..."
Ke Long emphasized the words 'heard a lot about you.'
Yun Man, Chang Yue, and Meng Shuang didn't even bother to look at him.
But precisely because of this...
What a great opportunity!!
Without giving Ling Zhan a chance to speak, Ke Long's eyes suddenly turned cold!
Swoosh!!
He suddenly swung the wine glass in his hand towards Ling Zhan's face!
This move was too sudden; no one expected Ke Long to dare to make such a bold move.
And being a second-tier power-type Explosive Martial King himself.
At such close range.
This meant that, except for the third-tier leading teachers chatting with the local war zone leader in the distance.
No one could stop him!
But these third-tier teachers weren't paying attention!
Too late!
In this moment, as if time slowed down.
Everyone clearly saw Ke Long's fierce action.
If this cup hit.
Apart from anything else.
Under the terrifying strength of the Martial King, Ling Zhan's handsome face would definitely be disfigured!
If Ke Long couldn't control this explosive power, Ling Zhan could die instantly!
Some female students instinctively closed their eyes slightly, not wanting to see the bloody scene.
Yun Man, Chang Yue, and Meng Shuang reacted at this moment...
But oddly, their expressions were not like others, not panicked at all!
On the contrary, their delicate faces showed a gloating expression!
This...
What on earth is going on?
