"Move fast!"

"Who the hell is attacking?"

"Don't know."

"It must be a Super Long-Range Attack Class," someone guessed.

Jiang Chen smiled. Just then, he sensed danger. His body leaned back, narrowly avoiding an energy bullet that almost hit him.

Looking into the distance, Jiang Chen thought, Am I being sniped? Not detected? The attacker is over a thousand meters away—this is truly a Super Long-Range Attack Class.

Jiang Chen peered in the direction the energy bullet had come from; within his Perception, there was no sense of danger.

Meanwhile, Maria, hiding 1,500 meters away, gazed at the figure on the opposite hilltop with astonishment. It actually missed? Did this guy dodge the attack? Is his Perception ability so freakish?

Maria watched the silhouette look her way. She lay still on the ground, preparing to aim at Jiang Chen's head again.

As someone with the Divine Gunman Class, she excelled at Super Long-Ranged Attacks. The Divine Gunman Class was divided into two types: one specialized in short-distance close combat, and the other in Super Long-Range combat, with a range exceeding even that of a Magician's spells, much like a sniper. The only difference was their Weapon; instead of sniper rifles, they used energy to shoot.

Maria once again took aim at Jiang Chen's head and pulled the trigger.

Jiang Chen saw the bullet speeding toward him. He dodged and caught it in his hand.

CLANG...

Maria was stunned. What's happening? Catching an energy bullet barehanded? This guy's defensive power is absurd!

[Rutats Necklace (Myth)]

[Skill 1: Rutac's Guardian: Absorb 50% of damage for 5 seconds when activated. Cooldown: 100 minutes.]

Energy bullets can't cause any damage at all, Jiang Chen mused. Plus, there's the [Tian Gang Sword Body] with its hundred-layered Protective Shield. Even if I just stood here and let them snipe, it wouldn't be a problem.

Jiang Chen smiled. So that's where she is, beneath a large boulder. More than 1,000 meters away; I can't use Sword Qi to kill at this distance. Forget it. I'll let you go this one time. You're truly capable of sniping me, so I'll give you a chance to enter the next Barrier.

Jiang Chen stood on the hilltop, continuously firing with both hands. Though not possessing the Divine Gunman Class, he acted like he did, sniping at the Heroes below.

[Preliminary World]

[Time: 0:00:59 Remaining]

"Let's rush together!"

"He's on the hilltop!"

"Not much time left! Hurry and rush over! Let's kill him together!"

"Are there any Archer Classes? Use arrows to take him down!"

"Forget it, the distance is too great. Archers can't hit that far."

"CHARGE!"

Time was rapidly running out. Countless Heroes charged forward, only to be met by Jiang Chen's Sword Qi. Blinding white light flashed, and numerous Heroes were eliminated.

As time expired, green smoke rose outside the Barrier's range. Heroes engulfed within the green smoke died instantly.

Indeed, it's a battle royale… Jiang Chen thought.

He headed for the next Barrier.

He glanced at the number of remaining participants—three million. Originally, thirty million had joined the battle, and in just an hour, nine-tenths had been eliminated.

Rank 1: Roskin Hogan (25,410)

Rank 2: Gold Rolan (24,550)

As for Jiang Chen's rank, he wasn't even on the list. He had only killed a little over a thousand people so far, and that was without putting in much effort. I don't intend to vie for first place anyway, he thought. These are just the preliminaries; they have no real significance. Only the true battle of geniuses will matter. The winner will receive a custom-made Legendary Set of 100 levels. There are still hidden masters in the Alliance of All-Gods. Take the Xileruo World, for example; it has billions of members of the Divine race, not to mention countless powerful individuals from the Elven World, Titan World, Feathered World, and so on. Other worlds have their Divine races too.

After the Barrier refreshed, Jiang Chen found a peak and observed the crowd around him. Various battles were breaking out, but he didn't make a move, content to watch quietly. He soon spotted a master: a woman in a black robe who constantly shifted her form. Presumably a powerful Mage using Teleport to move next to a Hero, he surmised.

But the woman in the black robe didn't actively attack; anyone who came within eighty meters of her would Petrify, turning into a heap of stones.

Jiang Chen watched the woman in amazement. What Class is she? There are many classes in the Human World: Archer, Magician, warrior, Knight, Angel, assassin... so many, but I've never seen such a bizarre Class before. Without lifting a finger, anyone who approaches her instantly Petrifies. This must be a Super Divine-level Class, probably belonging to a Divine race. I'm just not sure which one. Each race awakens its own unique Class: warriors for the Titan Tribe, Mages and Archers for the Elf Race, Magic Swordsmen for the Dragon Blood World. Certain races awaken fixed Classes. For example, the Incubus are a specific group that awakens the Incubus Class. Since Incubi have low fertility rates, their numbers are scarce. Humans, however, don't have a fixed Class; they can awaken many types.

Jiang Chen smiled. Things are getting more interesting.

The woman in black approached a group of people. These Heroes watched her advance, breaking out in a cold sweat.

"Damn it, that's a Medusa Clan member!"

"Such a powerful Petrification Skill! There's no countermeasure!"

"Use an Archer to attack!"

"It's useless! Even an Archer's attack would be instantly Petrified! Her equipment must be enhancing her Petrification effect!"

"Why is there such a formidable enemy?!"

The woman in the black robe chuckled. "You're all going to die!"

She charged at her enemies.

Just then, a white light gleamed, and eighteen people swiftly died. The woman in the black robe frowned deeply. That wasn't my Petrification Skill. Did someone else make a move?

She looked up at a figure on high.

Jiang Chen, also watching the woman in the black robe, smiled. This one is a master. Such a Super Long-Ranged Attack... could she be from the Divine Gunman Class?

WHOOSH, WHOOSH, WHOOSH...

The woman in the black robe Teleported, reappearing a hundred meters away from Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen sensed an odd presence emanating from the woman in black, effective within eighty meters. It was similar to that of Asaye from the Underworld Clan, but the difference was that this woman employed magic. Petrification magic, he realized.

The woman in the black robe said, "Hello. I'm Ji Ma."

"Jiang Chen."

"Team up?" Ji Ma asked.

"No need. I prefer to work alone," Jiang Chen replied.

Jiang Chen looked at the woman in black and now saw her clearly. She had no legs, but a long tail instead. He had heard of this race—the Medusa Clan.

"Are you from the Medusa Clan?" he asked.

"Yes," Ji Ma confirmed. "And what Divine race are you from?"

"I'm not from a Divine race. I'm human," Jiang Chen stated.

Ji Ma dared not approach Jiang Chen any closer, seeing numerous white Sword Qi constructs floating around him that clearly posed a threat to her. Not the Divine Gunman Class then, she thought.

Ji Ma asked, "Are you one of The Fallen?"

"No."

"Then what is your Class? And why do you possess The Fallen's Sword Qi?"

"Swordsman."

"Swordsman?" Ji Ma sounded perplexed. "I've never heard of that Class before."
