"of course."
He turned to look at Leila and the others.
They all looked eager to try.
Finally, he chose Tassanya.
Because only Tassanya has not yet advanced to the fifth rank.
"Alas!!"
Tassanya waved her strong arms. She was now taller and stronger than before, standing over two meters tall even in her non-dragon form. Her nearly three-meter height made her stand out in the crowd.
Furthermore, she now exudes a dragon-like aura, and her pupils have turned into golden vertical pupils, a sign that she is about to fully transform into a dragon.
She walked up to the boy with the buzz cut, grinned, and the powerful aura of pressure caused a few drops of cold sweat to trickle down his forehead.
"Wait a minute!"
Myo Lan had no choice but to call a halt to the duel.
He braved the intense gazes of the crowd and forced his way to Luo Xiu:
Are you sure this is your subordinate?
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a burning pain on his face, which meant that he was somewhat apprehensive and his confidence was obviously not as high as it had been at the beginning.
There was nothing he could do; he hadn't expected that the subordinate Luo Xiu mentioned would actually be a descendant of dragon blood, and judging from the appearance, the purity of the dragon blood was not low.
A dragon bloodline of this quality would be considered top-tier even in the capital, attracting fierce competition from many powerful figures. How could it possibly be the subordinate of this blond young man?
Faced with Mu Lan's questioning, Luo Xiu chuckled:
"Tasanya".
Tassanya immediately turned around, her tall figure kneeling on one knee, facing Luo Xiu:
"Owner."
The three queues erupted in another uproar.
The fact that the dragon bloodline descendant could kneel and call him "master" undoubtedly proves that this dragon bloodline descendant is Luo Xiu's subordinate.
"..."
Miao Lan's forehead veins throbbed, and in the end, she could only turn to look at the boy with the buzz cut:
"Locke, go all out. This duel is a fight to the death."
"Yes, my lord."
Even though his opponent was a descendant of dragon blood, the young man with the buzz cut only showed a slightly serious expression. His confidence from the royal capital made him fearless.
Luo Xiu thought for a moment and then spoke up:
"Tasanya, give it your all too."
"clear."
Tassanya grinned wickedly.
Behind him, many of the vice-captains of the Knights of Kanriel cast pitying glances at the boy with the buzz cut.
They didn't know the boy with the buzz cut's strength, but they were very clear about Tassanya's strength.
In short, at this moment, Tassanya should be Kanriel's strongest fourth-tier character.
If we exclude Luo Xiu, Miler, and Leila, then she... should be the strongest fourth-tier character in Kanriel's history.
Even with the strength of a lower-level fourth rank, the equivalent of points is only 450. Perhaps some rare treasures could increase that number, but it would definitely not be much more.
But Tasanya has clearly broken free from this constraint.
Luo Xiu added far too many points this time. The reason why Tassanya has not yet broken through to the fifth rank is because, compared with Leila, her improvement rate is low, and compared with Miler, her starting rank is low.
Furthermore, she is a descendant of dragons, which makes the task considerably more difficult.
Even so, it's clear that this buzz-cut boy is far superior.
"Drink!"
With a loud shout, the young man with the buzz cut bulged out of his merchant robe, transforming his originally thin frame into a muscular one. He grew taller and larger, though not quite as muscular as Tassanya, but he didn't seem to be following a path of pure strength.
Two streams of light and dark energy emanated from his body, constantly flowing around him, and as he moved his hands, there seemed to be a strange rhythm changing.
Warrior monk.
A versatile class that relies on skillful close-quarters combat, it can be said to integrate offense, defense, and healing, but relatively speaking, none of them are particularly outstanding.
Among the three large groups behind them, many people whispered among themselves, feeling that Tassanya on the other side had almost no chance of winning.
Because the young man with the buzz cut in front of him was among the first group of Platinum Merchant Guild members besides the two seeded players. He was proficient in two skills that had been fused with divinity, and had consumed many rare treasures, as well as several fourth-tier items.
But as a dragon's roar resounded throughout the hall and soared into the sky, all the discussions ceased.
Everyone stared blankly at the "monster" covered in red scales that had appeared before them.
At this moment, Tassanya's form was almost indistinguishable from a dragon. Her thick thighs were twisted at the joints, and sharp bone spikes on her deep red scales gleamed with a cold light. The thick tail behind her could shatter the floor of the hall with just a light slam, and the shockwave almost made many people of lower rank fall over.
Most importantly, behind her was a pair of enormous red wings.
"This is impossible!"
Miao Lan's expression changed immediately, and she exclaimed in shock.
Such a purity of dragon blood is rare even in the very country that the Kingdom of Dorant relies on. How could that country possibly use such a being as a reward to Dorant?
"Games start."
Luo Xiu smiled and spoke softly.
The moment the words fell, everyone in the queue felt a blur before their eyes, followed by a huge roar. When they came to their senses, the monk was already stuck in a huge pit, his chest caved in, and his breath was like a leaky, broken drum.
His eyes were filled with terror, and his previously bulging muscles instantly bled profusely. The flowing two-colored energy shattered, and he was clearly on the verge of death.
"Wow—"
No one in the three queues could have predicted this outcome.
They looked in horror at Tassanya, who stood there like a monster, and felt a powerful visual and mental shock.
This contradicts their long-held belief that everything outside the capital is rural. How come a young man's subordinate of Kanriel almost killed the genius youth of the largest merchant guild in the capital with a single blow?
They came to this land with arrogance, but now they seem to feel that this land is dangerous and mysterious.
It was as if a monster's shadow was spreading across this land, ready to devour its prey.
"Your Excellency Mulan, it seems the outcome is already decided."
Luo Xiu looked at Miao Lan, whose face was extremely pale, and spoke with a smile.
Chapter 211 It's your turn.
"Your Excellency Mulan, it seems the outcome is already decided."
As soon as Luo Xiu finished speaking, the hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
The people in the three groups stared in horror at Tassanya, who was almost completely transformed into a dragon.
Miao Lan's face was ashen.
He hadn't expected there to be a seeded player in Kanriel; it was completely unexpected. The fact that his own men had lost so badly made him feel humiliated.
Unfortunately, the team that brought Kanriel this time did not have any young people more talented than the boy with the buzz cut, which meant that he had almost no chance of turning the tide.
This is a trap.
He looked at Luo Xiu, his eyes blazing with fury, his expression ferocious.
It's easy to imagine the immense cost a rural place like Kanriel would have to pay to cultivate a genius of the caliber of a seeded player from the capital. They must have mobilized the entire city's resources to produce such a dragon bloodline.
Luo Xiu casually summoned the Dragon Bloodline Descendants to lower their guard so he could humiliate them.
Tassanya was very happy after easily completing the task given to her by Luo Xiu. Her crimson tail swayed incessantly, and her dragon roar was deafening.
"Tasanya, don't get too excited."
Luo Xiu smiled and spoke:
"Remember to stay humble and avoid being arrogant. The officials from the capital must have gone easy on us, not wanting us to lose too badly."
He raised his eyes, looked at Miao Lan, and slowly smiled:
"However, I still want to see the true strength of the capital. Your Excellency, you don't need to worry about our reputation. Please call out your strongest warrior."
"..."
Miu Lan's fists clenched so tightly beneath her golden nightgown that they cracked.
At this moment, he felt as if he were being roasted over a fire, caught in a dilemma.
Luo Xiu's words seemed to be making amends for him, but in fact they were putting him on a completely high foot, forcing him to admit that his own chamber of commerce was not strong enough and that the buzz-cut boy was already the strongest.
Just as he was about to turn hostile, two figures stepped out from behind him and stood in front of Luo Xiu.
"That was just Lord Mulan testing the waters. If you wish to have a duel, I am happy to oblige."
The speaker was a young man wearing dark armor, with flowing long black hair, delicate features, and gold patterns hidden in his armor, which bore a striking resemblance to Peter's dark gold armor.
Beside him stood a young girl in a blue and white dress, barefoot, smiling brightly:
"I'd also like to test the abilities of the geniuses in Kanriel."
The appearance of these two people caused a stir among the three groups.
The two individuals who appeared were seeded players from the Dark Gold Knights and the Holy Sea Merchant Guild, respectively ranked 24th and 28th among the seeded players in the royal capital, making them true peerless geniuses.
Such an existence, placed in any city within the kingdom other than the capital and Rovanpu, would have the strength to reach the top and would be able to absolutely suppress the geniuses of those cities.
Luo Xiu recalled the duel between Gane and the violent priestess Eliga of the Kanriel Merchant Guild, which was an easy crushing victory for Gane.
Originally, the two of them disdained to step forward, after all, it was a matter for the Platinum Chamber of Commerce, and they would stay out of it and not want to lower themselves.
But now that Luo Xiu is about to ruin the noble image of the capital, they can no longer sit still.
At the behest of Knight Peter and Bald Man Pap, they stepped out, ready to teach Luo Xiu a lesson.
