Chapter 322 The Invisible One
It turned out the person who made the post went by the ID ImLurking.
A student who possessed Existence Erasure (SSS Rank). Bruce also had a stealth-type ability called Ultra-Low Presente ((5 Rank), but Bruce’s skill only worked during combat.
ImLurking was differentt. His presence was erased at all times. If he did not show himself, no one would even realize he was there.
Because people kept ignoring him, he slowly went down a strange path.
He loved gossip.
He listened to secrets, them posted them online.
In the real world, no one noticed him. On the net, however, he was everywhere. Over time, he became a well-known figure on the academy forums.
What made it scarier was this: Marlom was an assassin. He should have been extremely sensitive to anyone getting close p>
Joanna was even worse. Her mental perception was terrifyingly strong. Yet neither of them ever detected I’m ImLurking.
That alone showed how powerful his ability was.
Most importantly, no one had ever exposed his neal identity.
Rumor said that people would subconsciously ignore all information related to him.
When Marlon and Joanna discussed Student Council gossip, most readers did not care about the topic itself. Instead, they joked about ImLurking.
But just because most people did not care did not meam everyone didn’t.
One person cared very much. That person was Haul, amiher of the Student Council.
He was the strongest candidate for the next Student Council President.
In theory, if he had been good enough, Marlon should have stripped down last year.
But Haul had never earned Marlon’s approval.
“Marlon, that arrogant jerk!” Haul shouted in anger. “He acts like akiing in front of me but turns into a coward in front of Joanna p>

“I can’t beat Marlon because our classes counter each other. Fine. I accept that. But Joanna? She’s just a freshman! Why would I lose to her? I’ll prove it to everyone. I will defeat her p>
Haul was furious.
He was a fire mage to begin with, and his temper matched his element.
He could not accept Marlon’s disdain.
Immediately, Haul publicly challenged Joanna.
Afraid she might refuse, he added a wager.
He made sure she could not ignore it.
“Joanna earning Marlon’s trust shows my failure as a presidential candidate. As a powerhouse, I do not agree with Marlon’s judgment. I challenge Joanna to a duel in the arena. If I lose, I will give her my first Mythic-Tier Skill Upgrade Stone as the next president.
“If Joanna loses, she pays nothing. This is my challenge. Joanna, how about a battle between the strong p>
Not long after, Joanna replied personally under the post.
you
“If you lose, besides the Mythic-Tier Skill Upgrade Stone, change how address me. If you lose, besides the Mythic-Tier Skill Upgrade Stone, change how you address me. Call me Ms. Joanna p>
The duel was set for the same day.
The next day at noon, both arrived at the arena.
It was packed.
Professors and students alike came to watch this peak-level fight,
By overall stats, Haul was outstanding.
In two and a half years at the academy, he had earned top of his major five times and top of his grade three times. He had traded X2 Mythic-Tier Skill Upgrade Stones and X3 Mythic-Tier Talent Upgrade Stones.
He had 4 SSS-rank talents, 11 skill slots, and 2 SSS-rank skills.
As for Joanna, on the surface, she had 2 SSS rank skills and 9 skill slots, with 2 at SSS rank.
2/4
Everyone knew she had exchanged one skill for another and gained another as a reward for being Public Relations Club President.
What people did not know was that Joanna still had four empty skill slots. She simply did not need them. Power Siphon alone was more than enough.
On top of that, Joanna had awakened Bloodline Power.
The changes in her appearance could not be hidden. Everyone could sense it.
Because of that, many students actually supported her.
Haul, on the other hand, was all in.
If he did not fight, what kind of elite would he be?
He had to prove himself.
Without unstoppable momentum, he would never command respect in the future.
He refused to believe Joanna could defeat him. Haul had entered the academy two years earlier. Even if Joanna had better skills and bloodline power, what about raw stats?
His attribute points had to be higher.
And he had four SSS talents.
His main talent was Holy Judgment (SSS). All Light-type skills trigger Judgment. Evil targets suffer increased damage and soul-burning effects.
His other talents were: Perfect Body (SSS Rank), Absolute Adaptation (SSS Rank), and Divine Descent (SSS Rank p>
He was a Holy Knight. A walking fortress. Even if Joanna had five contract beasts, he still believed he could not lose.
Both sides finished preparing.
The countdown hit its final second.
They moved at the same time.
Divine Descent (SSS Rank) activated.
A massive projection of a Luminara descended onto Haul. Divine power poured into his body.
His form expanded rapidly. In an instant, he became a 65-foot-tall divine statue, Holy pressure
