Worthless Profession: Dragon Tamer

Chapter 1012, Who Else Dares to Object?!

Translator: Silavin

Such overwhelming Damage was naturally more than what Kong Lingqi and Zhao Lingfeng could withstand.

As their bodies bounced back from the light barrier like rubber balls, separating from each other, both had already lost consciousness, fallen into a comatose state.

In an instant, the venue fell silent.

No one had anticipated that this sparring match would conclude in such a manner.

Everyone had assumed that even if Kong Lingqi alone faced Lu Fan and Ye Wuxian, it would be complete domination. When the battle would end depended entirely on how long Kong Lingqi wished to play with them.

When they witnessed Kong Lingqi attacking with full force, holding nothing back, some became even more certain that the battle would conclude in a single instant.

The result was that everyone had guessed the outcome correctly. Yet simultaneously, they had guessed it all wrong.

The battle had indeed ended in an instant.

But who could have imagined that the ones to be instantly downed would be Kong Lingqi and Zhao Lingfeng?!

Though the combat sequence had been fast, it had not escaped the eyes of those present.

Everyone had witnessed Kong Lingqi’s unstoppable punch, capable of instantly eliminating an ordinary Fifth Profession Player.

Yet Lu Fan had not even used a single Skill. Merely raising his hand, he had effortlessly blocked it.

What terrifying level of strength did this represent?!

For such an outcome to manifest, only one explanation existed: the Attribute gap between the two combatants was simply too vast. Lu Fan’s Attributes had completely crushed Kong Lingqi.

But this defied all logic. Kong Lingqi’s Profession Characteristics made him specialise in Close Combat. How terrifying were his Strength and Agility Attributes!?

Moreover, he had not underestimated his opponent. Before engaging, he directly applied all his Buffs to himself.

Even so, Lu Fan had still demonstrated complete dominance over Kong Lingqi. Just how terrifying were Lu Fan’s Attributes?!

Some even suspected whether Kong Lingqi had cooperated with Lu Fan in staging this performance.

But that explanation also failed to hold water.

After all, Kong Lingqi had his own reputation to consider. To have him serve as such a pathetic foil for another, even if the Kong Family agreed, Kong Lingqi himself would never consent.

Therefore, only one possibility remained.

Lu Fan, from a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family, was a true monster…

The entire venue fell into complete silence, with no one paying attention to Kong Lingqi and Zhao Lingfeng lying on the ground.

Eventually, members of both Families regained their senses, came forward to deactivate the barrier, and immediately began casting Healing Skills on the injured.

One could discern that Lu Fan had actually not dealt a killing blow.

Otherwise, with Lu Fan’s capabilities, a casual release of one or two Skills would have instantly eliminated both of them, leaving not even residue behind.

Watching Kong Lingqi and Zhao Lingfeng being carried away, Lu Fan smiled coldly, sweeping his gaze across those from the Ancient Noble Families who had earlier clamoured about his results being problematic, claiming he had made use of an exploit. He declared loudly, “So weak yet you dare claim to have the qualification to be ranked below the us of two? The power differential between us is far too vast. In my view, those ranked behind have no qualification whatsoever to enter the Flaming Hell Dungeon Instance alongside me.”

“If anyone disagrees, come forward and enlighten me. Regardless of Level, regardless of numbers, whoever objects, just step forward. I shall accept all challenges. If anyone can withstand a single Skill from me, I shall kneel on the spot and apologize for my previous statements!”

Lu Fan’s words resonated with absolute finality.

Simultaneously, they metaphorically slapped the faces of everyone present with resounding impact.

Many faces flushed crimson, hearts filled with extreme dissatisfaction toward Lu Fan.

Yet what could dissatisfaction accomplish?

When Lu Fan spoke, they could only listen!

As for stepping forward to defeat Lu Fan and force him to kneel in apology?

These were only fantasies.

He had casually annihilated Kong Lingqi. If he actually released his Skills, who could possibly withstand them?!

Even if they lost, it would not matter. But if they truly died, the loss would be astronomical.

His simple statement challenging them with only one Skill could not even be refuted.

When one proved to be weak, they could only quietly withdraw!

Therefore, facing Lu Fan’s audacious proclamation, no one dared voice their objection.

Situ Xiong stepped forward with hearty laughter, clearly recognizing that his earlier decision not to antagonize Lu Fan was an immense stroke of fortune.

With Lu Fan’s current capabilities, he might even be able to challenge Sixth Profession Players.

Such an individual, even from a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family, represented an existence that could not be underestimated. The manner of treating him must absolutely not be inferior to that afforded to a Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family Ancestor.

After all, those Ancestors normally were the strongest pillar of a Supreme Tier Ancient Noble Family.

“I truly did not anticipate that Little Brother’s strength would be so overwhelming!” Situ Xiong approached, cupping his fists in respectful salutation toward Lu Fan. “Now I finally understand how you were able to take first place, completely clearing the Dungeon Instance. With your strength, it is indeed our failing. We set the Dungeon Instance difficulty far too easy for you.”

Lu Fan smiled, waving his hand dismissively. “The earlier Dungeon Instance was actually quite interesting. To be honest, it might not have been challenging for me, but for others, that may not necessarily be the case.”

These ‘others’ clearly referred to Kong Lingqi and his cohorts, correct?

The dismissive implication overflowed explicitly, yet those who heard these words dared not refute anything.

Situ Xiong chuckled. “Indeed. But, one thing still confuses me. Little Brother, are you really from a Second Tier Ancient Noble Family? With how strong you are, that should not be possible…”

Lu Fan did not reveal excessive information, merely responding. “Strictly speaking, the Second Tier Ancient Noble Family, the Ye Family, belongs to my friend beside me.”

Situ Xiong immediately cupped his fists in respectful salutation toward Ye Wuxian, his attitude humble. This left Ye Wuxian overwhelmed with flattery. After all, back when her Grandfather was still alive, if she had encountered Situ Xiong, she would not even have qualified to approach and speak with him.

Yet now, Situ Xiong was personally saluting her. This was something nearly unimaginable two years prior.

All of this was entirely thanks to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan continued. “Due to the nature of our relationship, the Ye Family is essentially under my protection. As for me, I do not originate from any Ancient Noble Family. I am merely a Commoner who happened to have somewhat better fortune.”

“A C-Commoner!?” Situ Xiong’s astonishment deepened.

The so-called Commoner referred to ordinary civilians.

For a civilian to become a powerhouse of Lu Fan’s calibre, this utterly subverted Situ Xiong’s understanding.

After all, among Commoners, even if genuinely talented individuals existed, they rarely possessed the resources to fully manifest their potential.

Therefore, virtually no Commoner could produce experts comparable to those from Ancient Noble Families; this was a fundamental consensus in the Western Border.
