Chapter 719: Chapter 413: All from Tianyuan (4K)
Yun Juan still found it hard to believe.
The credibility of Sanghun as a second-tier instructor was even higher than his own.
Such a strong person was the most ordinary in the team?
Was that reasonable?
It must be a joke.
Yun Juan was skeptical, trusting more in his own eyes, his own judgment.
Just like at the beginning, when he first laid eyes on Sanghun and felt certain he was an extraordinary powerhouse.
Now, upon closer observation, he noticed that Sanghun's brother named "Zhou Yi" also seemed quite remarkable.
However, this lady named Irene didn't strike him as extraordinary no matter how he observed her; she seemed utterly average and lacked the aura of a strong person.
The person in the distance, referred to as Hong Yi, even appeared utterly despondent.
Could those be strong people?
He didn't believe it but didn't show his disbelief.
There was no need to say anything, after all, who was strong and who was weak would soon become clear.
…
Irene took a deep breath and walked forward step by step, data streams flickering in her pupils, flashing by.
This was her first battle in a public setting.
In Tianyuan City, she was a civil officer, responsible for managing the library's book collection and some simple teaching tasks, such as literacy classes at night school.
Irene also managed the orphanage in Tianyuan City—orphans who were young and had no elders to care for them would be placed in the orphanage. The first orphanage in the Tianyuan Territory was established and managed by Irene.
Irene's strength wasn't prominent; although she had some renown in Tianyuan City, she was not in the combat sequence.
Irene had evolved to the Epic Tier, but her awakened Epic talent was an auxiliary ability that did not directly enhance combat power.
However, this didn't mean Irene couldn't fight.
In some ways, she was quite skilled at it.
At the very least, her combat abilities were far superior to Daisy's.
From the start of the recruitment assessment, data streams like those in Irene's pupils would occasionally flash; her eyes were fixated on the strong participants taking the stage, never shifting away.
'Eye of Memory'
'Description: Irene possesses strong memory and observational skills. When this talent is actively activated, Irene's memory, observation, and analysis abilities will be greatly enhanced. Moreover, she can record everything she sees, including every detail of techniques, in the form of a memory palace.'
Any technique Irene saw once could be completely recorded by her.
However, this was limited to theoretical recording.
She understood the technique, the intricacies, the key points, but that didn't mean she could use it.
This is when the mind understands, but the body cannot follow.
Irene's physical talent was not bad; she could master some techniques after practicing them three or four times on her own.
Her combat skills had already reached the Peak.
After observing Tianyuan Powerhouses training and sparring daily, her Realm of Intentions level had reached half a step into the Imagery Realm.
But that was all.
Many advanced and even special skills, even if she could record them completely and understood the principles, were beyond her capability to wield.
She didn't meet the requirements to use them.
All she understood was theory.
Irene was very clear about her strengths and weaknesses.
She owned hundreds of skills, yet she hardly had any truly powerful ones.
In the blink of an eye, Irene stepped into the formation.
The Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation activated again, and numerous water dragons roared into existence.
There were no terrifying ten-plus-meter-long Ghost's Claws;
There was no powerful evil specter force;
She couldn't raise a violent gust of yin wind and dark mist with a wave of her hand;
Compared to the imposing Sanghun who appeared just before, Irene looked genteel, frail as if she might be torn apart by the water dragons at any moment.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds, thirty seconds...
Irene kept dodging, like a small boat amidst giant waves;
Forty seconds.
Irene continued to dodge, seemingly close to disaster, but actually not a single drop touched her.
Sixty seconds.
Irene thrust out with her sword, the tip stirring up waves of sharpness, shredding the water dragon attacking from the side.
Her presence was still not strong.
But at that moment, the onlookers finally realized in a daze: Unknowingly, this girl had reached the qualifying standards and could claim the benefits of a third-tier instructor!
"What's going on!"
"She clearly looks so...so weak...not strong at all!"
Indeed, as I watched, I started to think even I could do it."
If they hadn't personally passed through the Water Dragon's Lament Illusionary Killing Formation and knew how terrifying it was, they might indeed have the illusion that they could do it themselves.
How could they have such an illusion? Terrifying!
On the field, Irene was still holding on, appearing extremely strained, but in reality, it was anything but easy for her.
Indeed, Irene could hardly be described as at ease; her strength was limited, barely stronger than an ordinary Fourth-order Peak, and she had no margin for error, as any Fourth-order water dragon posed a lethal threat to her.
It was like she was walking on a tightrope.
Risky and dangerous, but she never faltered.
She kept going, kept going, and soon the time reached 153 seconds, equalling and surpassing Sanghun.
This was the best record of today's assessment!
Backstage, several academy heads were watching.
They were the deans of various departments within Lakehaven Academy.
Either they were Legendary Lords, or they were powerhouses from top territories. One of them was the confidant of the City Lord of Tianze City.
These strong individuals would not always stay in Lakehaven City.
However, with the war over and coinciding with the comprehensive recruitment of Lakehaven Academy and Great Lake Academy, these Legendary Realm beings gradually returned, some even taking on the role of examiners.
During this period, the number of Legendary Realm beings in Lakehaven City far exceeded the usual.
