【Congratulations Evolutionist Lu Chen for defeating the Cursed Captain - Jack】
“Whoosh~”
“Is it over?”
Lu Chen panted heavily, his clothes clinging to his back, completely soaked with sweat,
He only felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, a sign of his mental energy depletion.
This Ghost Captain was absolutely the strongest enemy he had encountered since coming to this world, bar none,
In the battle just now,
Lu Chen held nothing back, using almost all of his talents,
The immense power unleashed by the combination of over a dozen talents,
Actually allowed him, at a mere Level 2, to form an overwhelming advantage against the Tier 4 Ghost Captain.
However, Lu Chen knew deep down,
That all this victory was built upon the foundation of the opponent underestimating him.
Just like heaven's oracle's evaluation of him,
Everyone who underestimated him would pay a huge price for it.
“Hmm? Only a defeat notification? No death energy? No other rewards either?”
Lu Chen's brows furrowed slightly, muttering to himself.
Logically, this was a battle spanning two difficulty tiers, how could it end so simply?
“Forget it, let Little dumpling absorb it, after all, this ghost ship itself is a huge reward.”
Just as he was preparing to let Little dumpling act, heaven's oracle's voice resounded in his ears again, carrying a trace of solemnity:
【Evolutionist Lu Chen, congratulations on successfully passing heaven's oracle's hidden trial - Overseer Selection】
【Overseer Selection Criteria: Evolutionist must defeat a Tier 4 or higher Evil Being alone while at Level 2 or below. (Note: Once an Evolutionist is promoted to Level 3, they will lose the qualification to participate in the Overseer Selection)】
【Overseer - Takes monitoring all living beings as their heavenly duty, and has the authority to judge and eradicate Evil Beings that violate heaven's oracle's laws. Blue Star War Zone has only one Overseer position】
【Reminder: Accepting the inheritance will grant you unprecedented power and potential, but it will also make you a thorn in the side of all Evil Beings, please consider carefully.】
“Wh... what is this?”
Lu Chen was confused by heaven's oracle's string of notifications,
What Overseer, what Evil Being?
Never heard of them at all......
He carefully studied heaven's oracle's notification, gradually understanding its meaning.
“So, this Overseer inheritance is the true reward for me defeating the Ghost Captain……”
Lu Chen stroked his chin, falling into contemplation.
“The conditions for this Overseer selection are so strict, requiring an Evolutionist to be able to defeat a Tier 4 enemy alone at Level 2.”
“If not for Little dumpling as a powerful helper, and the blessing of those dozen-plus talents, I'm afraid no one could complete such an assessment.”
“The assessment is so strict, it must mean the power of this Overseer is certainly extraordinary.”
Then Lu Chen looked at the introduction about the Overseer,
“It feels like this Overseer is the enforcer of this Tian Yu World, although they will be hostilely viewed by all Evil Beings,”
“But, as an enforcer, how could they fear those evil ones?”
“Furthermore, the entire Blue Star War Zone only has this one Overseer spot, which is enough to show how precious and rare this inheritance is.”
“Let's do it!”
Thinking of this, Lu Chen chose to accept without hesitation,
“heaven's oracle, I accept the Overseer's inheritance!”
【Ding, Evolutionist Lu Chen has chosen to accept the Overseer inheritance】
【Inheritance begins!】
Along with the dissipation of heaven's oracle's voice,
A deep, ink-like black light suddenly tightly wrapped Lu Chen,
Immediately after, Lu Chen's figure vanished in an instant under the engulfment of the black light,
His aura, his name on the leaderboard, and even all traces of his existence,
Were silently extinguished at this moment.
Not far away, the two girls who were immersed in excitement,
Suddenly saw a ominous black light spread out, and then Lu Chen's figure completely disappeared from sight, as if being swallowed by the night,
From their perspective, it was as if Lu Chen himself was swallowed by the ghost ship.
Fan Yingying, who was cheering for Lu Chen, was stunned, her eyes full of disbelief:
“Lu... Lu Chen, how did he disappear……”
Li Xinyi was also stunned,
She had originally planned on how to sincerely apologize to Lu Chen when he returned,
After all, it was her who had mistakenly judged the creature level on the ghost ship,
Mistaking Tier 4 for Tier 3,
If not for Lu Chen's exceptional strength, he would likely have long fallen into an irreversible situation.
However, Lu Chen's sudden disappearance before her eyes,
Caused an inexplicable ominous premonition to rise in her heart,
She hurriedly accessed her panel, her gaze anxiously searching the leaderboard,
Her face suddenly changed,
Gone!
Lu Chen's ranking had disappeared from the leaderboard!
She trembled as she tried to access Lu Chen's personal page,
What met her eyes,
Was only a stretch of deathly silence and darkness,
That was the blankness left only by deceased Evolutionists,
“Ho... how could this happen, you clearly already won!!!”
Even with Li Xinyi's cool and aloof personality, her eyes couldn't help but turn slightly red at this moment.
“Xinyi Jie? Lu Chen... was Lu Chen eaten by the ghost ship?”
Fan Yingying said with a choked voice,
“It's all our fault, it's all our fault for telling him about the ghost ship, he was so strong, if it weren't for us, no one could have killed him, woo woo woo......”
“No, this isn't your fault, Yingying.”
Li Xinyi held Fan Yingying's hand, but her gaze was hollow as she looked at the ghost ship in the distance, once again shrouded in black mist, her heart filled with guilt and self-blame.
“It's my fault,”
“It was me... it was me who misjudged the situation, which led to him dying there......”
Li Xinyi's voice grew lower and lower, finally almost becoming a murmur,
“I'm sorry......”
Lu Chen was the most astonishingly talented person she had ever seen. If the ghost ship before her was truly as she had said, with only Tier 3 creatures, with Lu Chen's capabilities, he would certainly have been unharmed,
But, it was precisely because she misjudged the situation that such a genius like Lu Chen fell.
At this moment, many people in the chat channel had already discovered the disappearance of Lu Chen's name,
“Huh? Why did Lu Chen suddenly disappear from the leaderboard?”
“Yeah, not only is he nowhere to be found on the leaderboard, but his name in the follow list has also turned gray!”
“This... does this mean Lu Chen... has fallen?!”
“Impossible! Lu Chen is so strong, even taking down 13 fierce beasts is nothing to him, how could he...”
Just as everyone was shocked and discussing,
A sudden Heaven's Dao announcement exploded in everyone's minds like a clap of thunder.
