On the field.
Ling Zhan still stood more than five hundred meters away from the Free Federation team, holding his dragon sniper rifle.
Clack!!
With a cold expression, he reloaded once again.
The two-meter-long anti-tank sniper rifle had a cold, sleek black body with golden dragon engravings, emanating a terrifying aura specifically designed to suppress divine beasts, sending shivers down one's spine.
After firing three consecutive shots, the entire barrel had heated up to a scorching temperature.
Normally, such an exaggerated sniper rifle would require a support stand, a muzzle brake, a recoil buffer, and various auxiliary hardware to shoot properly, hit the target accurately, and prevent the overwhelming recoil from injuring the shooter.
But the dragon sniper rifle in Ling Zhan's hands had no such auxiliary hardware.
He didn't even need to lie on the ground and use the terrain for support to fire smoothly.
The "Eye of Ten Thousand Demons" not only gave Ling Zhan terrifying dynamic vision but also granted him another ability: ultra-long-range sight.
This was the fundamental reason why, even from such a great distance, Norton still felt himself being locked onto by sight and killing intent the moment the shot was fired.
At a distance of five hundred meters.
With his ultra-long-range sight, combined with the magnification of the sniper scope.
Ling Zhan, standing over five hundred meters away, could even clearly see the body hair of the demons if he wished.
And the powerful physique tempered by the "Ten Thousand Demon Breaking Pill" allowed Ling Zhan to ignore the devastating recoil of the dragon sniper rifle.
If the live camera zoomed in on Ling Zhan, one would notice that during his previous shots, the entire barrel of the dragon sniper rifle hadn't even moved an inch, and the recoil couldn't push his shoulder back at all.
As for why the bullets carried enough power to penetrate all the demons' defensive states...
That's where a few small buffs come into play.
"Weapon Blessing (A+)!"
"Heroic Chant (A+)!"
"Holy Light Protection (A+)!"
"Fountain of Strength (A+)!"
"Rapture Dew (A+)!"
"Frenzied Rampage (A+)!"
"Gene Enhancement (A+)!"
...
With these A+ level "small buffs" applied.
Ling Zhan's combat power was boosted by at least tenfold!
It must be known.
Priests aren't the only support class!
Some of the above skills are from the "Biochemical Madman" class.
"Weapon Blessing" increases weapon attack power by 500%, and each hit with the weapon grants the user a 10% strength boost.
"Heroic Chant" amplifies bravery, while also increasing all four core attributes by 300%, and with every kill, a "Heroic" buff is stacked, increasing attack power by 50%, stacking up to five times.
"Holy Light Protection" increases physical and magic defense by 400%, and damage dealt converts into a shield that can block true damage.
...
And this doesn't even count the explosive buffs Ling Zhan can activate from other classes.
Like "Elemental Surge," "Blood Sacrifice"...
Perhaps because Ling Zhan had never displayed his support skills during the individual competition or earlier team battles.
They thought that by isolating Ling Zhan, they'd have a chance to defeat him.
But the truth was...
A little brother will always be a little brother.
...
At this moment.
Both sides stared at each other from afar.
But Norton didn't dare order his team to charge recklessly anymore.
This inevitably triggered mockery from the spectators.
"Forty people fighting one, and you've already lost two. Do you even know how to fight?!"
"You were so arrogant before, and now you're so cautious!"
"It proves once again: don't celebrate too early, or you'll end up regretting it!"
"From the looks of it, if this drags on, the non-specialist definitely has the advantage. After all, Ling Zhan's teammates will eventually be freed from the chaos space, and when that happens, they'll be even harder to beat!"
"..."
Listening to these comments.
The person feeling the worst was, in fact, Luke in the top VIP section.
One second he was smugly tossing out boasts to Dean Zhou Hongfu.
The next second, after the gunshot rang out, the situation flipped instantly.
"Zoom in on the camera! Let everyone see the status of this non-specialist!"
At this point, the director commanded the crew to control the nano-intelligent cameras, zooming in on Ling Zhan.
When they saw the terrifying aura and pressure emanating from Ling Zhan, their expressions became even grimmer.
Buffs!
He could actually buff himself!
"This..."
Whether it was the spectators or the elite guests in the top VIP section, everyone's faces changed!
Exaggerated!
Outrageous!
How could he do this?!
Completely unreasonable!
While everyone was in shock and awe.
Inside the secret realm, Norton had already started deploying his second plan.
"All cursed demons, follow me!"
"I'll block all the bullets for you!"
"Everyone else, charge forward! If anyone gets hurt, revive immediately! Don't hesitate! Don't feel like you're wasting resurrection chances!"
"As long as we can silence him for one second, I can kill him!"
Norton's transmitted words carried a thick, vicious intent.
Damn it!
Even at this point, they still had no advantage!
If this were the previous arena, they could easily capture the opponent.
But in this vast battlefield of plains and mountains, designed by the event organizers to let players and divine beasts fight freely, the area was so enormous that surrounding Ling Zhan with forty people was simply out of the question.
They could only resort to an all-out charge strategy!
Protecting the rear won't work!
Protecting the divine beasts won't work either!
And sending Norton alone wouldn't work at all!
They had to charge together!
The opponent's weapon is a sniper rifle, not a machine gun!
Norton didn't believe that Ling Zhan could fend them off with just a single sniper rifle in the face of wave after wave of attacks!
"Alright!!"
The other demon team members echoed back with forceful enthusiasm.
But in reality, their hearts were still filled with anxiety and fear.
"Charge!!"
With a single command!
Under the watchful eyes of the spectators, Norton and his teammates launched another charge toward that non-specialist figure!
But this time...
Norton no longer opened his arms to greet Ling Zhan's bullets.
Instead, he revealed his true form as a Chaos Demon and fully activated his demon bloodline!
Buzz!!
In an instant.
All of his human traits vanished completely.
His body grew to a towering three meters, with black whirlwinds swirling across his skin. Leading the charge, he spread his wings and left a long black trail across the plains!
Swish!!
In his fully unleashed state.
Norton's figure flickered like a blur, instantly traversing the five-hundred-meter distance, for the first time truly appearing in front of Ling Zhan!
