Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Looking up, Luo Xiu's figure had already disappeared.

it's over...

The thought flashed through her mind, and she heard the whistling wind and terrifying explosions in her ears.

The next moment, she was momentarily deafened by the loud noise, and her cheek was ripped open by the force of the punch, spurting blood.

Immediately afterwards, a loud bang exploded in her ears. Although she could no longer hear it, she was still thrown backward by the terrifying shock, and a metallic taste rose from the bottom of her throat.

To the audience, all they saw was Luo Xiu suddenly appear behind Lalaan on the screen and punch him in the neck.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, a green light shone from Lala's chest, blocking Luo Xiu's falling fist and preventing Lala from dying instantly.

Even so, Lalaan was blasted backward and sent flying, leaving the giant hand.

The giant hand, which had extended most of its length, stopped mid-air as Lalaan ceased its magical surge.

Lala An fell to the ground. Her profession didn't rely on physical strength, but she endured the excruciating pain and quickly got up without pausing for a moment.

Because she knew that if she was slow, Luo Xiu would unleash a barrage of attacks on her, and then she would really have no chance and would be attacked to death by Luo Xiu.

But when she looked up, the scene before her made her heart skip a beat.

Luo Xiu had already appeared a few meters in front of her, running towards her with a smile on his face!

Given Luo Xiu's speed, he would probably appear directly in front of her in less than half a second.

What to do now? Lala's mind raced, her thoughts racing. She still had two fourth-tier items, one defensive item, and one blinking item.

That teleportation item allows her to instantly appear hundreds of meters away, and it resets every hour; it's a powerful item Vivian gave her.

But the key question now is where to blink...

Seeing that Luo Xiu had already arrived in front of her, his fist raised high, the stinging wind of his fist hitting her face and blowing her hair in all directions, she had no time to think. The shoes on her feet flashed white light and enveloped her body, disappearing from the spot.

It appeared behind Luo Xiu.

As soon as she landed, the magic power within her surged like a boiling sea, and the giant hand in mid-air continued to reach out, almost appearing in the world.

Seeing this, Luo Xiu stopped abruptly, twisted his feet, immediately changed direction, and sprinted away again, his figure like a bolt of lightning cutting through the dueling platform.

But now that they are a hundred meters apart, Lalaan calculated that with Luo Xiu's speed, as long as she could block him for even half a second, she could give the giant hand time to arrive.

So she manipulated the giant hand that had already appeared in the world and tried to block Luo Xiu, hoping to buy time.

At this moment, Luo Xiu raised his hand, and Qiao Wei's longsword appeared in his hand, making an unexpected move.

As he ran, he grabbed the blade of the longsword, pulled his arm back, leaned backward, and then hurled the sword at Lalaan.

At the same time, he turned around again and rushed towards Lala'an from different directions.

Lala's beautiful eyes widened as she watched the longsword slice through the air, hurtling towards her with astonishing speed and a sharp whistling sound. On the other side, Luo Xiu charged forward like a ferocious beast pouncing on its prey, each step causing the dueling platform to shake.

At this moment, she could only control one giant hand, and it seemed that she would be attacked from one side no matter what. Despair inevitably showed in her eyes.

Chapter 153 The Great Battle of the Century! (More to come!!)

Luo Xiu sprinted across the dueling platform, leaving a trail of afterimages behind him as he approached Lala'an at an astonishing speed.

His feet moved with the speed of the wind, each step causing the dueling platform to tremble, like a ferocious beast descending upon the world, its movements shaking the earth.

On the other side, the longsword, like a rainbow piercing the sun, was even faster than Luo Xiu, and had already flown to a point several meters in front of Lala'an, about to pierce her through.

Lala's pupils trembled. Without time to think, she manipulated her large hand to move rapidly, blocking between herself and the longsword, and reaching for the blade.

Phew——

The longsword plunged into the giant palm, and dark green liquid sprayed out, carrying a nauseating stench, landing on the protective array of the dueling arena, immediately causing wisps of white smoke to rise.

Seeing that the longsword was successfully blocked by the giant hand, Lala An felt no joy, because Luo Xiu had taken advantage of this moment to get close and came to her. He raised his arm, which contained tremendous power, high and swung it at her.

That's too late.

Fear surged in her eyes as she prepared to use her last defensive item.

At the same time, her heart sank. Perhaps she could still block this attack with the help of defensive items, but what about the next one? Luo Xiu's strength was too great, capable of destroying defensive items that she had instinctively used multiple times.

These consumable items are extremely expensive, and carrying two was already a cautious decision on her part, since she didn't need to use defensive items very often in this city.

This item is useless against fifth-tier beings, and it's unnecessary against lower-tier fourth-tier beings.

If she could, she wouldn't want to use up her last defensive item in this one attack. She still had many offensive options left to use, and this defensive item might be the key to her final comeback.

Once she loses this last defensive measure, her subsequent attacks will be severely limited, and defeat will only be a matter of time.

But it was too late. Luo Xiu's fist was growing larger and larger in her pupils, about to fill her entire field of vision.

boom!

Her eyes were tightly closed, and her hair danced in the wind.

The expected bombardment and tremors did not occur; only a slight breeze swept by.

She opened her eyes and saw a figure blocking her way.

It was a man wearing a blood-red shirt, a gold watch chain on his chest, and bright red shorts.

The man's muscles were well-proportioned, and he blocked Luo Xiu's punch with his arms.

If you look closely, you can see air swirling around the man's forearm, which partially neutralized the force of Luo Xiu's fist.

“Murray…”

Lalaan murmured the name of the second student of Count Shek before her.

Murray was the runner-up in the tournament two years ago. The first place winner was Lalaan, and the third place winner was [Lazy Assassin] Lord.

As the only one of Count Shek's three students who is not an alchemist, his profession is a rare martial monk, skilled in using the opponent's force against them and harmonizing yin and yang.

Good morning, Your Excellency Lala'an.

Murray turned around, looked at Lalaan behind him, and smiled.

This should have been a very cool scene, but then a mouthful of blood spurted from his mouth, making that coolness a little more tragic.

There was nothing that could be done. Even though the vortex had been neutralized, Luo Xiu's power at this moment far exceeded that of a fourth-level upper-tier cultivator, and he still managed to injure Murray with a single blow.

He coughed up blood, which made Lala's heart clench.

She looked at Luo Xiu across from her, her eyes flashing with anger.

"Another one of our Adventurers' Academy members has been injured. Since you're determined to do things your own way today, don't blame me."

Her magic surged wildly, and the strands of hair behind her were flying wildly in disarray.

The giant hand in mid-air finally descended completely, and under her control, the two giant hands stood in front of her, one on the left and one on the right.

Luo Xiu smiled, withdrew his fist from Murray's arm, and said:

"So now the Adventurers' Academy is going to be fighting two against one, right?"

"Today's duel is no longer about rankings; it's a life-or-death battle between you and our Adventurers' Academy. Even if it's two against one, you're still a prodigy trained by our academy. If you're capable, you can also call on your fellow disciples."

Lala'an spoke, her words so shameless that Luo Xiu almost laughed.

The initial idea for the ultimate ranking competition was proposed by the Adventurers' Academy. Later, it was Lalan herself who suggested fighting him. Now, it's a two-on-one situation, and they're claiming it has nothing to do with rankings.

"It has to be related to the rankings, Lady Lala'an. Lady Vivian said she would give the first place a fifth-tier item."

Luo Xiu laughed loudly. Since Lalaan was so shameless, he would fight two against one today.

However, before he could finish speaking, two more figures stepped onto the dueling platform from the left and right.

The figure on the left had a handsome face with a youthful air, bright and clear eyes, and wore a dark robe.

Luo Xiu recognized him at a glance; it was Green, whom he had dealt with once before.

Green, Kado, and Jovi once appeared together at the Knights' gate. Green had even pursued Miler, but left with hatred for Luo Xiu after being rejected by her.

Now, Kado and Qiao Wei are lying side by side on the street in front of Luo Xiu's house, and Green has actually shown up at this time, it seems that he wants to take advantage of the crowd to avenge what happened back then.

On the right side of the dueling platform, like Murray, were new faces that Luo Xiu had never seen before.

She was a blonde loli, shorter than Leila, with a pure and lovely appearance.

She was wearing a pure white robe with pale gold embroidery on the cuffs, and a priest's hat with a cross on her head, clearly indicating that she was a priest.

Green's smile is charming and exudes youthful energy.

"Since this is a battle to protect the dignity of the academy, I cannot back down at this time."

“Green, Heather…”

Lalaan looked at the two people who had just appeared, her eyes filled with emotion.

Green is a rising star at the Sorcerer Academy, while Hathaway was the runner-up in the tournament that Kado participated in. Kado was third at the time, and the first place went to Earl Shek's top student.

She then looked at Luo Xiu, a confident smile appearing on her face:

"See that? This is the strength of our Adventurers' Academy."

"I'll give you a chance. Kneel down now and admit in front of everyone that you, as Master Tata's student, lost to the Adventurers' Academy, and I might consider letting you off the hook."

"All you need to do is serve as a guard at the academy gate for two years, and this matter will be over."

After hearing Lala'an's words, Luo Xiu's lips curled into a grin, a low chuckle escaping his throat, gradually growing louder until it finally burst into a hearty laugh:

“Disgusting, absolutely disgusting, Lalaan.”

"You're very moved? You're very passionate? But I still stand by what I said."

"Your Adventurers' Academy has no young generation. Even if millions of people take the stage, they will only be dancing clowns."

"I'm enough on my own."

As he finished speaking, a bottle of silvery-white medicine appeared in his hand.

The moment the vial of potion appeared, Murray, who was wearing shorts, changed his expression.

He recognized it; it was a potion concocted by his teacher, capable of comprehensively boosting attributes for a short period of time.

But how did this bottle of medicine end up in Luo Xiu's hands? He thought of his good-for-nothing junior brother who had died.

A waste.

He cursed inwardly. His senior brother only knew how to do alchemy all day, and after talking for so long about helping their teacher, he was nowhere to be seen. Now he was neither human nor ghost. As for his junior brother, he was already dead, not only causing the arena to close down, but also leaving equipment and items for the enemy after his death.
