"Im... impossible!"
"Is that Guardian Knight some kind of monster?"
"Who on earth are they? Even Zi Wei, the main tank of Sky Blade, isn't this strong!"
……
The experts from every major faction on-site stared at Ke Le, who hadn't budged an inch, and the shock in their hearts defied words. They almost felt as though their eyes were playing tricks on them, but no matter how many times they rubbed their eyes, the scene before them remained unchanged. One by one, they wondered just who Ke Le really was.
If this were some other high-ranking great lord out in the world, they could have accepted it.
But they had personally experienced the Ancient Guardian's power. Its terrifying force was absolutely unstoppable — it took three or four Tier 3 tanks rotating and activating their survival skills just to barely hold it long enough for the others to pass through its patrol zone.
Yet now, a single Tier 3 Guardian Knight, without even using any survival skills, had blocked the Ancient Guardian head-on. How could they not be stunned and curious?
Among everyone present, the most shocked of all was Yu Luo, watching from a distance.
"How is this possible!" Yu Luo stared fixedly at Ke Le, her heart refusing to believe what she was seeing.
She never imagined Zero Wing's tank could be this powerful!
She already knew Shi Feng and his group were all Tier 3 Classes, but even her own guild leader Zi Wei struggled immensely against the Ancient Guardian. How could a Zero Wing tank possibly be this strong?
After all, Zi Wei ranked among the top three tanks on all of Dragon Heart Island. It was precisely that terrifying strength that had brought all those arrogant independent experts to heel.
Back in the corridor, before anyone could even recover from their shock, the Ancient Guardian's first strike having failed, its golden spear came crashing down toward Ke Le with devastating force. The momentum was so overwhelming that the very space seemed to tremble.
"No way! It's already resorting to the spear attack? Isn't that something it only uses in the later phases?" Everyone watched the golden spear descend, disbelief plastered across their faces.
They knew only fear when it came to this golden spear.
Too many Tier 3 tanks had been obliterated beneath it, utterly powerless to resist. That was precisely why so many superpowers had repeatedly failed to push past the Ancient Guardian's defense — and even those that managed to do so had suffered devastating casualties.
"Bring it on!"
Seeing this strike, Ke Le finally felt the thrill ignite. He raised Titan Guardian and met the blow head-on.
BOOM!
The collision between the golden spear and Titan Guardian sent a shockwave rippling outward like a violent storm. Even from a hundred yards away, everyone could feel the sheer force of the impact.
Ke Le was forced back a single step, losing just over thirty thousand HP.
But thirty thousand points of damage was utterly negligible for a Tier 3 tank with nearly a million HP — let alone for Ke Le, who, clad in the full Cold Wolf set and wielding Titan Guardian, boasted a total of 1.54 million HP.
The moment Ke Le blocked the Ancient Guardian's full-powered strike, the entire corridor plunged into dead silence.
"Is that Guardian Knight even human?"
"He can't be — is he a Tier 3 NPC?!"
The Ancient Guardian's all-out attack had been stopped so effortlessly, and he had lost barely thirty thousand HP doing it. This completely shattered everything they thought they knew about Tier 3 tanks.
