#493 - Chapter 492: Evil Smile in the Dust and Mist

"The video I'm about to play is very important. I hope everyone watches carefully and doesn't miss any details, as it concerns the rating of this Resurgent," Zhou Daocheng said, looking around with a serious tone.

Hearing this, the people below straightened up and picked up the pens and paper on the table, staring intently at the long electronic screen.

Since the Disaster Rating Council Hall prohibits bringing any electronic devices, everyone could only use paper and pens to record the key details in the video.

Zhou Daocheng picked up the remote control in front of him, turned to face the electronic screen, and pressed the play button.

BEEP—

The screen flickered suddenly, and the picture instantly turned dark red. Two blurry figures appeared in the center of the screen.

These two were none other than Li Chenqiu and Lin Haiguang. What was being played was the video of them fighting on the crimson aura shield... a one-sided beating.

"I'll give you the thing, I'll give you the thing, stop hitting me!!!"

Lin Haiguang's miserable screams echoed in the council hall, adding a bit of solemnity to everyone's faces.

On the stage, Zhou Daocheng said in a deep voice: "The person shouting now is Lin Haiguang, the dean of Dong'an Academy, an Eleven Forbidden Fated One with a strength rating of one star."

Due to the large gap in strength between Forbidden levels above the Nine Forbidden, the Disaster Rating Department of the Safety Administration developed a star rating system to more intuitively express someone's strength.

Each Forbidden level is divided into seven stars based on strength, with the weakest being one star and the strongest being seven stars. Lin Haiguang is the weakest one star, and his strength is at the bottom of the Eleven Forbidden Fated Ones.

"To be able to unilaterally suppress Lin Haiguang, this Resurgent must have at least two stars of strength. It should not be underestimated!"

"Strange... what is this Resurgent's ability?"

"It's metal, an elemental ability."

"Then how do you explain the green wings? That's obviously a wood-type ability."

"Perhaps it's some kind of flying mystic artifact!"

The people below whispered, their eyes never leaving the screen, and their pens never stopping.

With a muffled "bang", Lin Haiguang's head was smashed in the picture, and the crimson aura shield shattered along with it.

Zhou Daocheng reminded, "Look carefully, this is very important."

Everyone perked up and stared intently at Li Chenqiu's figure. When they saw him spinning around in the sky like a madman, knocking down buildings, big question marks appeared above everyone's heads.

Zhou Daocheng pressed the pause button and said to everyone: "According to Yu Lu, the vice president of Dong'an Academy, the strength displayed by this Resurgent is very unstable.

At first, it was close to the two-star level, but it gradually declined to the lower middle of one star. In the first battle with Lin Haiguang, it was completely at a disadvantage and was even beaten into a cloud of blood.

This news comes from Lin Haiguang himself. I can't be sure if it's true or false, but what I can be sure of is that the Resurgent's strength at that time was inferior to Lin Haiguang's."

Someone raised their hand and asked curiously: "Minister Zhou, do you mean that the reason why this Resurgent was able to defeat Lin Haiguang was because it used some means to quickly increase its strength?"

Zhou Daocheng nodded slightly: "According to my speculation, the true strength of this Resurgent is within the scope of one-star Eleven Forbidden, and it's even at the bottom of that range. It may not even have reached Eleven Forbidden."

As soon as this was said, everyone's faces showed disbelief, and they obviously didn't agree with Zhou Daocheng's speculation.

The gap between Ten Forbidden and Eleven Forbidden is too large. It's no exaggeration to say it's a chasm. How could there be any means to directly bridge this chasm?

Seeming to see what everyone was thinking, Zhou Daocheng said calmly: "Of course, this is just my speculation, without any theoretical support. It's just to open up a new direction for everyone.

Back to the main point, although this Resurgent has a way to quickly increase its strength, the side effects of this method are also obvious, which is what we see: unable to discern direction, blindness, and deafness."

"Minister Zhou, if that's the case, can we directly determine that the limit combat power of this Resurgent is close to the three-star Eleven Forbidden level?"

Zhou Daocheng glanced at the speaker indifferently, shook his head, and said: "Don't rush. There is still a third battle. Make a decision after watching it."

With that, he pressed the play button, and the video continued to play. The key figure in the third battle, the middle-aged man holding the iron chain, appeared.

Zhou Daocheng slowly said: "Tang Xuan, the leader of the Special Hazard Elimination 7th Special Operations Team, an Eleven Forbidden Fated One with three stars."

After Tang Xuan arrived, he shouted, "Everyone lie down!", and then took action without any hesitation.

When everyone present saw Li Chenqiu being thrown out of City 133 by Tang Xuan and lying in a pile of rubble like a pile of mud, they all frowned, and a hint of incomprehension flashed between their brows.

"In this situation, how did the third battle break out?"

"Yeah, this Resurgent looks like it's already exhausted. It doesn't even know where the attack is coming from. How can it fight Team Leader Tang?"

"I don't know, let's keep watching!"

Back in the video, after throwing Li Chenqiu out of City 133, Tang Xuan didn't immediately step forward, but instead whipped Li Chenqiu's body with the iron chain, making "crackling" sounds.

It looked like a cautious probing.

On the other hand, Li Chenqiu hugged his head and lay motionless in the scorched pit, as if he were dead, but the flesh that was constantly being torn apart and regenerated proved that he was not dead.

The whipping lasted for nearly ten seconds before it ended. Dust and mist rolled around where Li Chenqiu was, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Tang Xuan put away the iron chain wrapped in lightning and rushed into the dust and mist with a "bang", seemingly to completely eliminate Li Chenqiu.

Zhou Daocheng narrowed his eyes: "The third battle is about to break out."

"Heh heh ha ha ha, finally... finally... it's my turn, ha ha ha ha!"

The dust and mist suddenly rolled, and a creepy, evil laugh that seemed to crawl out of the abyss came from the dust and mist, scaring everyone present, causing their scalps to tighten and their hearts to beat faster.

Rumble—

A roar like the collapse of the sky and the cracking of the earth sounded, and the screams of people could be faintly heard, and the picture began to shake rapidly.

"What a big commotion!"

"It seems that this Resurgent has a trump card!"

"The battle is about to begin."

Under countless expectant gazes, the long electronic screen suddenly flashed, and then... went black, and the terrifying sound disappeared along with it.

Everyone: (⊙_⊙)?

In an instant, these expectant gazes turned into doubts and focused on Zhou Daocheng.

"What are you looking at me for? Didn't you see the progress bar below? The video ends here," Zhou Daocheng said calmly.
