C28 What Exactly Happened??

In the stands, the audience was left agape, unable to believe their eyes. Moments ago, the Fearless Expert was on the receiving end of a beating from the Wild Beast. How had the tide turned so dramatically and unexpectedly?

This defied logic.

Even the seasoned veterans at the Elite Level couldn't grasp what had happened. How did Fearless Expert's seemingly slow punch land on the Wild Beast, known for its Wind Wolf-derived speed?

And the power behind that punch—how was it so immense?

It pulverized the Wild Beast into nothingness.

Despite the Wild Beast's speed from the Wind Wolf, its physical strength was vastly superior to that of a human Psionic Warrior. Not even an Elite Level expert could confidently claim they could reduce the Wild Beast to rubble with a single blow.

Then, a realization dawned on them.

Perhaps Fearless Expert possessed a Strengthening Faculty ability, enhancing his physical strength.

That was the only plausible explanation for what they had witnessed.

The crowd erupted in excitement.

Though they couldn't pinpoint what had transpired, their faith in the Goddess was unwavering.

The proof was before them: anyone the Goddess challenged was far from a pushover.

Voices rose in unison, shouting apologies.

"We're sorry, Goddess. We misjudged you."

Back at the Psionic Academy of Star Glory City, Lin Luo swiftly exited the War Net.

He knew that an endless string of battles wasn't always beneficial; timely reflection and learning from experience were crucial.

This match had revealed the extent of his power, and Lin Luo felt a twinge of regret.

Had he mastered Ninjutsu, even a D-class offensive technique, his formidable chakra would have allowed him to annihilate the Wild Beast in an instant.

He wouldn't have needed ten minutes to adjust to the Wild Beast's velocity or to predict its movements.

Lin Luo made up his mind.

Upon his return, he would prioritize learning two D-class Ninjutsu before contemplating any system upgrades.

He needed to consolidate his learnings and strategize for the future.

With renewed focus, Lin Luo plunged back into the War Net, studying the combat videos of its most revered fighters.

Meanwhile, in the City of Fire to the Empire's south, Avila wore a look of confusion. Who had she just called a weakling?

And what was the deal with the Wild Beast? It had held such a commanding lead, only to let the opponent turn the tables?

What was it thinking?

If she were in the arena, she mused, she could take on ten adversaries single-handedly.

In a swift move, Avila seized Inno by the collar and demanded, "Issue a challenge to Fearless Expert immediately. I'm going to avenge myself."

Inno held her face in her hands.

Clearly, the captain had let the previous night's events slip her mind.

Was she unaware?

Did she realize how many ended up in the hospital last night because of her words?

In Osul City, Jaina was obsessively reviewing battle footage of Fearless Expert, but she couldn't make sense of it.

How was Fearless Expert able to anticipate the Wild Beast's moves?

His punch was deliberate, slow—he had clearly anticipated the Wild Beast's next move.

Left with no other option, Jaina activated her communicator and sent the video to a mentor.

The response from her mentor came swiftly, concise and to the point: "Perception."

Jaina was taken aback.

Perception was among the most formidable abilities within the Telekinesis Faculty, one of the three superpower categories.

Indeed, those with Perception could penetrate an opponent's moves and foresee their subsequent actions.

Fearless Expert possessed a telekinetic ability.

Instantly, a fierce determination ignited in Jaina's eyes.

Her Spiritual Energy had peaked at the Class B Psionic Warrior level. If she could just externalize her Spiritual Energy, she would break through to Class A and ascend to the Master rank.

A battle with Fearless Expert might just give her the chance to shatter this threshold.

Seconds later, a challenge from the Empire's Ice Goddess was pinned at the top of the War Net's comment section.

In an unprecedented move, both the Empire's Ice and Fire Goddesses had issued challenges to Fearless Expert simultaneously.

At that moment, the War Net stirred as dormant experts emerged from the shadows.

Even the super geniuses at the Master rank were drawn to the unfolding drama.

After all, Jaina and Avila were the frontrunners poised to ascend to the coveted Master rank.
