Chapter 966
The host was still throwing shade at Raven, no holds barred, spitting out half–baked nonsense.
Meanwhile, Raven was tearing through the course like it was nothing, blasting past four stages in a row, each one taking her less than five minutes.
Mick, trailing behind, watched her dominate every level. His face went from “what’s going on?” to “holy crap” real quick.
Just as Raven was about to strut to the next checkpoint, Mick stepped in front of her, blocking her path. “Yo, the traps up ahead? Brute force ain’t gonna cut it.
“You go charging in, you’re gonna trip the hidden weapons.”
Raven didn’t even blink. She just kept walking, like he was invisible.
Outside the chamber, the crowd was losing it. Raven didn’t bother solving the puzzle–she went straight for the challenge, and the audience exploded.
“Wait, isn’t she supposed to be a brainiac? Why’s she just rushing in?” one yelled.
“That’s straight–up dumb!” another chimed in. “She’s gonna get turned into a pincushion by those traps!”
“Pfft, this brute–force idiot doesn’t deserve to be here,” someone scoffed. “What were the organizers thinking, letting her sneak in to mess things up?”
“Yeah, the early stages are a cakewalk. Even I could do that,” another guy sneered. “But the later ones? They’re brutal.
“She’s gonna crash and burn, probably end up looking like a hedgehog with all those arrows in her.”
While the crowd was busy predicting Raven’s doom, she was already on the big screen, using some slick move to smash through the trap’s mechanism.
She strolled to the other side of the corridor without a scratch.
The second her boots hit the ground, a storm of hidden weapons unleashed behind her–poisoned darts flying everywhere, embedding into the brick walls with deadly precision.
The crowd went nuts.
“No way!” someone gasped.
“When did she even get there?” another shouted.
“Is that speed even human?”
“She crossed the checkpoint before the traps went off!”
“If this wasn’t live on the big screen, I’d swear she cheated!”
The audience’s chatter was loud, but it didn’t faze Raven one bit as she pushed deeper into the gauntlet.
Right now, she and Mick were the frontrunners, already clearing four rounds. Raven was leading the charge, while Mick just cruised behind her, taking it
easy.
Mick glanced at the scattered darts littering the corridor and couldn’t help himself.
He shot Raven a thumbs–up, grinning like he’d just seen a magic trick. “Damn, that was slick!”
Raven, unfazed by the praise, didn’t even pause. She spun on her heel and strutted toward the next checkpoint, cool as ice.
Outside, the family heads were losing their minds. They couldn’t stay glued to their seats, jaws dropping at Raven’s moves.

Chapter 966
No way did they expect some nobody from a backwater city to be this good.
She wasn’t just holding her own–she was wiping the floor with the big shots‘ chosen fighters, blazing through four rounds faster than anyone.
“Holy crap, this chick’s a beast!” one patriarch blurted, eyes bugging out.
“How’s she pulling this off?” another muttered, shaking his head like he’d seen a ghost.
A grizzled old head scoffed, arms crossed. “No way a lowlife from Frihamen’s got this kinda juice. That dump’s the armpit of Forreb–barely any cultivation resources.
“Even with top–tier talent, you’d starve without the goods.”
“What’s the deal here?” another growled, fists clenched.
They’d all figured this gig from Janice would be a cakewalk. Take out some small–town nobody? Pfft, child’s play.
But the second they hit the secret chamber, Anastasia and her crew got schooled. Raven didn’t just beat them–she left them limping and stole the whole
show.
The massive screen overhead flashed an update: Raven Valor had just crushed the fifth level, no sweat.
