Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

Did I just say anything? No, I didn't.

Rose reacted quickly, her expression remaining unchanged, immediately returning to her usual bright, smiling eyes:

"As for you, Lord Milair, your strength seems to have increased again, to the point that I couldn't even detect it. But don't you know that scaring people like this is against the rules?"

"Did I scare anyone just now? No, I didn't."

Milair sat down next to Rose and gave her the same explanation.

"To be honest, Your Excellency Milair is quite nervous right now, isn't he?"

Rose smiled and spoke, her gaze returning to the screen high in the sky.

She was actually quite looking forward to it, wondering if it would be Luo Xiu who appeared.

Milair smiled and shook his head:

"As for the outcome of today's match, I'm not particularly nervous."

"Where are Lady Leila and Lady Tassanya?"

Rose didn't believe Milair's explanation. She stared intently at the screen and casually asked a question.

"They watched the match from the other side of the stands."

Milair opened his mouth:

"There, they saw an unexpected person as well."

"Who?"

Rose's interest was piqued, and she turned to look at Milair.

"Your Excellency Barr."

As Rose pondered the answer, Milair suddenly pointed to the screen in the air and spoke:

"coming."

Rose looked up in surprise and, sure enough, saw Luo Xiu's face on the screen.

At this moment, Luo Xiu did not cover his face in any way, but simply wore a cloak as usual.

"It's really him..."

Rose murmured.

One of the two major mysteries has been resolved: Luo Xiu really is Master Tata's student.

Now, only one question remains: can Luo Xiuzhen defeat Jia Luo?

This thought wasn't just on Rose's mind; Bozelica and the others below also felt their hearts leap into their throats.

There's only one step left before Luo Xiu's ship officially sets sail.

In front of a dilapidated hut in the audience, there was a window in the wall, and someone was sitting in the window shouting at the top of their lungs:

"Anyone else want to place a bet? This is the last bet before the game starts, betting is about to close!!!"

"boom!"

Heap slammed his hand on the small table in front of the window, panting as he spoke:

"I...I'll place my bet!"

How much to bet?

The person inside the window spoke up. He had noticed the silver-haired boy lingering far away from the window for a long time, until Luo Xiu's face appeared on the screen in the sky, at which point he finally made up his mind to run over and place his bet.

"Bet 500 gold coins to bet on Master Tata's student to win."

Without hesitation, Shoep took out a bag of gold coins:

What are the odds now?

"If you look at the odds before you placed your bet, it's 1:7.2, while Master Tata's student's odds are 7.2."

The person inside the window was startled by the bulging bag of gold coins in front of him. He hadn't expected that after hesitating for so long, Da Xiupu would just hand over 500 gold coins.

"Okay, then place your bets as I said."

Heap clenched his fist inwardly.

This was a huge gamble, betting everything he had earned since arriving in Kanriel, keeping only his initial investment.

But he chose to trust his intuition and to trust Luo Xiu.

If he loses, he'll admit it, immediately head back to the capital, apologize to his father, and study under him for a few more years.

Those nearby who heard Xiu's bet mostly mocked him, saying he was going to lose everything, but Xiu didn't reply. He just stared at Luo Xiu's face on the screen in the sky, remaining silent.

On the duel stage.

Originally, Lalaan and Gallo each occupied one side of the dueling platform, their powerful auras dividing the platform into two sections: green and gold, and white.

At this moment, the balance was broken by Luo Xiu's appearance. Luo Xiu appeared directly next to Lala'an, standing on the little finger side of the giant hand.

The green-gold aura, carrying a corrosive power, attacked, yet it seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier around him, preventing him from getting close.

"Those not involved should step down."

Luo Xiu patted the little finger of the giant hand, signaling Lala An to move away. It wasn't her turn to go on stage for the duel yet, so she shouldn't stand there and get in the way.

The magic arrays supporting the screen in the air had amplification capabilities, so Luo Xiu's words were clearly heard by everyone below the stage.

This immediately caused an uproar.

"How arrogant! They actually want to oust Lord Lalaan from power!"

"Damn it, I knew none of these fourth-level guys were anything but freaks."

“Fight! Fight!!”

In the corner, Bojelica's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. She hadn't expected Luo Xiu to have such an arrogant side. Was this a public slap in the face to Lala'an?

Sure enough, Lala'an's beautiful eyes widened after hearing Luo Xiu's words, and then a hint of anger appeared. She knew that her close friend would not want to attack someone for no reason. This guy was being too arrogant.

Her magical power surged, and the little finger and ring finger of the alchemical hand beneath her grew longer, like two thick, giant pythons rapidly advancing to bind Luo Xiu, emitting a buzzing sound as they cut through the air.

Luo Xiu also made his move at this moment. His movements were so fast that they were impossible to see clearly. It seemed as if his body did not move at all, but his fist was thrown out with terrifying speed, leaving afterimages in the air.

Everyone only saw a blur before their eyes, and then heard a loud bang. The large hand beneath Lala'an flew out, and the two outstretched fingers twisted in the direction of the hand's movement, failing to bind anything.

With just one punch, Luo Xiu sent the large hand flying, causing everyone's pupils to tremble.

Lalaan almost lost her footing on the large hand; her alchemical robes fluttered in the wind, nearly falling onto the large hand.

She flew off the dueling platform with the giant hand, soaring through the air for quite a distance before finally regaining her footing.

After regaining her footing, Lala An bit her lower lip. She knew that everyone had seen what had just happened, and she felt both ashamed and angry. She wanted to go back to the dueling ring and get revenge.

But Hermes took a step forward, and a magic circle appeared beneath his feet, blocking her in mid-air:

"The duel has already begun, please wait a little longer."

Seeing the smile on Hermes' face, Lalan clenched her fist unwillingly. She knew the man in front of her was someone she could not afford to offend, so she had no choice but to give up.

Only after Lalaan was not allowed to enter did the crowd realize what had just happened.

Luo Xiu actually knocked Lalaan off the stage with a single blow!

At this moment, those who originally thought Gallo would win began to waver. It was still unknown whether Lalaan or Gallo was stronger, but Luo Xiu's strength was beyond their expectations.

On the duel stage.

Gallo looked at Luo Xiu with an indifferent expression:

"You think you can prove anything by launching a full-force sneak attack when Lalaan is off guard? How naive."

Luo Xiu smiled, his tall figure stretched out, and his cloak fluttered even without wind:

"You talk too much."

Chapter 151 Now it's my turn to wield the sword (Boom!!!)

"You talk too much."

Luo Xiu's voice echoed clearly on the dueling platform, like a stone thrown into the ground.

The audience gasped. Luo Xiu's words were always unexpected and infuriating.

Some people tried to put themselves in Gallo's shoes and felt that he must be feeling resentful at that moment.

Indeed, this was the case. Although Gallo's expression did not change, the longsword at his waist automatically unsheathed half a meter, and a sharp sound of it cutting through the air resounded through the sky. It seemed that invisible sword beams burst forth from it and raged on the dueling platform.

As the sword beams landed on the dueling platform, purple protective magic arrays appeared, but they couldn't withstand the sword beams for even a second. They were instantly cut into pieces, leaving grooves on the ground.

Gallo obtained the longsword, wielding it with one hand, his eyes indifferent:

"Within three swords, I will slay you."

Luo Xiu smiled, and at that moment, he strode forward into the midst of the crisscrossing sword beams:

"Then I'll only throw three punches."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Xiu suddenly accelerated, his figure flashing across the dueling platform like lightning, instantly appearing in front of Gallo, aiming at Gallo's heart, and throwing a punch!

Gallo raised his hand, and the longsword in his hand rose as Luo Xiu threw a punch. A sharp silver light flashed in the air, but it was not meant to collide with Luo Xiu's fist. Instead, it was aimed directly at Luo Xiu's chest.

puff! ! !

A sword and a fist clashed, and bright red blood sprayed into the air, forming a beautiful arc.

The audience gasped in surprise, their pupils dilating as they watched the battle unfold on the screen.

At this moment, a wound on Luo Xiu's chest stretched from his shoulder down to his waist on the other side, oozing blood. Meanwhile, Luo Xiu's fist slammed into a grayish-white barrier in front of Gallo, shattering it into fragments.

"Lord Gallo has won..."

Some people murmured, feeling that the result of the first clash was obvious: Luo Xiu was injured, while Gallo used a prop to block Luo Xiu's attack.

But in the corner, a strange light shone in Bojelica's eyes.

Ordinary people might not know, but as a clerk within the Knights, she was very familiar with Gallo's item, which was called [Sword Power].

This item enhances the wearer's sword skills based on their understanding of swordsmanship. If used for defense, it can consume internal magic power to form a barrier to block attacks.
