Book 6: Chapter 34: Gathering of Heroes
It wasn’t surprising that there were a few abnormally powerful individuals capable of fighting above their rank among the two-hundred-plus Apostles participating in the Domination War, since they were all elite Elf Apostles.
Actually, within this Domination War zone Qin Lun was in, there was more than just one or two such abnormally powerful individuals who could fight above their rank. Even among Novice Apostles, there were differences. Compared to some Apostles who were on the verge of advancing to the Second Order, a little guy like Qin Lun, who had just stepped into a profession, had a significant gap in both quality and quantity of personal skills.
To be honest, Qin Lun could at best be considered mid-tier among these two-hundred-plus elite Novice Apostles. This was exactly why Mafa had advised him not to take part in the Domination War originally.
After all, he had only gone through four Otherworld Missions. Even with substantial gains each time, it only leveled the playing field against the average Novice Apostles in terms of accumulation. Compared to other elite Apostles, his gap in personal skills and equipment remained wide.
Especially concerning professional skills. While Clock Eye, Pentagram Crystal Mirror, and Detection Aura were powerful, they were merely support skills. His true combat abilities rested solely on Combat Gunmanship and three low-level gun skills.
If it weren’t for the formidable power of Burial of Light and Darkness, many elite Apostles here could simply ignore his attacks and trade blows directly. It would have been like the choice that one-eyed sniper made back then. That sniper had mistakenly believed Qin Lun was a close-combat focused Magic Warrior, leading to him losing the initiative in the gunfight and being suppressed to death.
Had he faced opponents like Long Feng or that Assassin capable of cross-rank challenges, Qin Lun’s chances of winning would have been much slimmer. Of course, this deduction excluded the Serial Killer using other underhanded tactics.

“So, this is what they call a Treasure Map Fragment?” A beautiful young woman dressed in a white judo uniform squinted her eyes, holding the scrap of paper up to the sunlight. “Huh? There are actually white lines inside!”
