In the end...
Dean Zhou had no choice but to temporarily assign a set of level 40 gold-grade armor to Ling Zhan.
As for Li Chaoge, Xue Ming, Shou Jingyuan, and Situ Yalan...
They wouldn't bother with such trash.
Their weapons are spirit-grade, their armor is spirit-grade, and even their accessories are spirit-grade.
The attribute boosts from this full set are no joke!
Wearing them would easily match Ling Zhan's attribute panel.
They might even surpass it!
So...
Ling Zhan's impressive attribute panel could only astonish these top-seeded contestants with deep backgrounds.
That's all.
Ultimately, it's still uncertain who will win the championship of this global beast competition.
However, the revelation of these panel data has completely silenced those who belittled Ling Zhan.
At the very least, it proves that this non-specialist has the qualifications to win the championship.
"What a pity..."
"We can't give this kid the best preparation conditions!"
In the VIP seats, Dean Zhou Hongfu smiled bitterly.
"What's there to pity?"
"Do you really think this kid can't win against these geniuses without so-called spirit equipment?"
Next to him, Liu Huanran smiled indifferently.
Dean Zhou thought for a moment...
Hmm, that's true.
Just as the two deans were about to continue watching.
Suddenly.
Not far away, a figure filled with a corrupt aura appeared. Without any visible movements, she instantly flashed to a seat beside Dean Zhou.
"Senior Cathy, what brings you here?"
Facing the sudden approach of the Corrupt Witch, the Battle God Zhou Hongfu remained calm, his old face covered with a faint smile.
At this moment.
Many of the top powerhouses in the VIP seats had already focused their attention here.
After all, the Corrupt Witch had always been an object of wooing by various countries.
Especially her deep, secret magical research results, never made public.
The Holy Light Empire had made Saint Luni try all means to apprentice under this Corrupt Witch.
Learning corrupt magic was one reason.
Another reason... was naturally to obtain the years of magical research results of this Corrupt Witch.
If the Holy Light Empire thought of this, would other countries not think of it?
Although the Corrupt Witch was currently a citizen of the Holy Light Empire.
She had also expressed that she would not truly serve that country.
She was a free agent.
Now, such a significant international powerhouse was sitting beside Zhou Hongfu, who represented Dragon Country.
However.
The Corrupt Witch's next words.
Completely unsettled everyone in the VIP seats!
"Oh, I just suddenly became interested in that non-specialist kid. Mind telling me about him?"
Whoa!
With these words.
The previously calm Princess Saint Luni couldn't help but change her expression.
This...
What does this old woman mean?
Didn't she say before that she would take the winner between her and the non-specialist as her disciple?
Is this old woman regretting it now?
...
...
In the arena.
The data for both sides was finally detected.
However...
At this moment, except for Ling Zhan, the referee, the staff, and even the contestant Loya had fascinating expressions.
Ling Zhan turned to the referee, about to speak.
Unexpectedly, Loya raised her hand with a disappointed look:
"Referee, I won't fight anymore, I concede!"
Ling Zhan: "..."
Hearing Loya say this.
The referee and the staff secretly sighed in relief!
Good girl!
You have some self-awareness!
Honestly...
They really found it challenging to adjust Ling Zhan's attributes!
Mainly because this monstrous non-specialist's panel was too high!
And it was uniformly high!
Such a situation couldn't be adjusted with just debuff potions and debuff equipment without affecting his body.
They would probably have to make Loya wear several pieces of equipment as well.
Such a cumbersome and time-consuming task wasn't something the officials wanted to see.
After all, it was already late, and with the elimination rounds and the breaks in between, it was already 3 PM.
They had to finalize the top 16 list before sunset!
"Since Loya conceded, I announce..."
"The winner of this match is Ling Zhan!"
"Let's applaud Ling Zhan for another victory!"
Following the referee's lead, the official commentator quickly announced excitedly.
Clap clap clap...
The audience quickly responded with applause.
Of course, there was no lack of discussions.
"What a pity, this fair battle ended with Loya's surrender..."
"Indeed a pity, but understandable, if it were me, I would also surrender!"
"Do you think the Crimson Blood Yaksha from the opening match might have been killed by this guy with one punch?"
"Hmm... quite possible!"
"From today on, I'm a fan of this non-specialist. I'll go home and mobilize my sisters to form a non-specialist fan club!"
"Count me in, sis!"
"..."
Although this match didn't proceed.
They witnessed an extraordinary scene beyond the competition!
The non-specialist's attribute panel was finally revealed!
This gave the curious audience something substantial to speculate about.
...
After Ling Zhan's match, the next rounds proceeded quickly.
In just twenty minutes, the group stage eliminations were 'smoothly' completed.
Worth mentioning...
Situ Yalan was also eliminated!
She was eliminated by Bonnie Atherton from the Dwarven Nation, who is Charlotte's sister and a hidden second-tier warrior, a Giant Destroyer.
The joy from Ling Zhan's victory was instantly washed away.
Now, only Li Chaoge and Ling Zhan remained from the Dragon Country team.
Situ Yalan stepped down from the stage with a face full of shame.
Many team members looked dejected and worried.
"It's okay! We still have two aces!"
The team members comforted each other.
However, it's ironic...
The non-specialist they doubted and despised before the expedition had now become the main force turning the tide, truly thought-provoking.
Then it was time for the nerve-wracking backstage draw.
Now, each group had only three people left, and one would be lucky enough to get a bye, advancing directly without fighting.
The official commentator, receiving the information from backstage, began to excitedly announce the list.
"The draw is over, now announcing the eight lucky ones advancing to the top 16!"
"Ling Zhan from Group A, Li Chaoge from Group B!"
"Norton Lane from Group C, Albert Love from Group D!"
"Bonnie Atherton from Group E, Princess Saint Luni from Group F!"
"Gojo Momoka from Group G, Lorna Sylph from Group H!"
"Let's applaud these eight lucky contestants!!"
Clap clap clap!!
At this moment, waves of applause resounded collectively.
The audience quickly noticed that among these eight contestants, only Ling Zhan was a fifth-seeded contestant.
The rest were all first seeds from powerful nations!
