None of them are easy to deal with.
"Stop him!"
He roared and ran towards Luo Xiu.
Upon hearing this, Lalaan reached out with its two enormous hands to grab Luo Xiu. As it moved, it stirred up a violent airflow, a sudden gust of wind arose, and the sky seemed to change color, turning the originally clear sky into a gloomy one, as if the sun had lost its luster.
Green chanted the incantation, his hands outstretched, and a dark magic circle opened in front of him. As if ancient gods were whispering, dark energy, carrying the incantation, surged out of the magic circle and scattered in the air.
Meanwhile, the blonde loli Hatheney clasped her hands together, raised her staff high, and prayed to the unknown being. Beams of holy light shone down from the sky through the clouds, falling on everyone and enhancing their abilities.
Below the dueling platform, everyone watched this scene, speechless with astonishment.
Not to mention the last five years, even in recent decades, Kanriel has never seen a battle of this scale.
Although the city is insane, because there are no monsters attacking it, you can't see such terrifying battle scenes at all.
At this moment, the wind and clouds changed color because of this battle, and a huge vortex appeared in the sky. It was a vortex formed by the swept-in clouds, slowly rotating and covering the sky and the sun.
On the eaves, in the corners, and among the crowd, Milair, Rose, Leila, Lundrol, and others watched the scene unfold before them, not daring to breathe.
Leila wanted to go on stage, but Tassanya stopped her. Luo Xiu's last words, "I'm enough on my own," were a pre-arranged signal, indicating that Luo Xiu did not want them to show themselves, as there was still the mushroom disease incident to deal with.
"Lady Leila, please hold back."
Tassanya spoke, her fist clenched so tightly that it pierced her palm, drawing blood.
The same scene unfolded on Miler's side. Rose hugged Miler tightly, listening to the faint rumbling in Miler's chest, and kept comforting her:
"Didn't you say you trusted that gentleman the most? Hold back, you have to hold back."
Dorian, pale-faced, watched the earth-shattering duel on the dueling platform and turned to Lundrol, speaking:
"Lord Lundlor, what do we do now?"
Before Lundel could answer, Bojelica's voice came from the side.
"wait."
Lundrol and Dorian looked up at Bodeika, who was gazing at the screen in mid-air, and slowly spoke:
“If the ship capsizes at the very last moment, no matter what you do, I will get up and repair it. This ship will survive today, and tomorrow it will surely be able to set sail and even cross endless seas to reach the other shore.”
"I don't want to drift along anymore; I want to seize this last opportunity."
Lundel's eyes flickered slightly, and he spoke at that moment:
"I can repair boats too."
……
In an attic, an elderly man with white hair and beard watched the battle on the screen, his eyes, swollen from crying, gleaming with a sharp light:
"Good fight! Kill him! Kill him!"
He looked up at Vivian across from him, his wet beard trembling.
"Your Excellency Vivian, this is what you wanted, isn't it?"
Vivian did not answer immediately. She gently picked up the wine glass in front of her, took a sip, and seemed to be savoring the subtle changes in the wine over time.
After a while, she finally spoke slowly:
"The Adventurers' Academy has been dormant for too long because it lacks rivals and competition, and is dominated by one entity."
"If we win this battle today, the Adventurers' Academy will prosper for at least twenty years."
She looked at the screen, her eyes, which were lowered at the corners, gleaming with an unreadable light.
If Luo Xiu is defeated, she will step in to protect him, thus gaining Tata's favor.
Tata can treat her to dinner sometime.
Today's battle eliminated the most formidable swordsman, Gallo, from the periphery, rallied the morale of the Adventurers' Academy, and earned Tata's favor, making it a triple victory.
There is only one prerequisite for all of this to be accomplished.
That means Luo Xiu was defeated.
As Vivian gazed at the myriad storms on the screen, the colossal hand reaching for the sky, and the curse of the ancient god all hurtling towards Luo Xiu, a cold voice whispered in her heart.
Lose. As long as you lose, everything will be perfect.
Chapter 154 My Name is Luo Xiu (Two Chapters Combined)
On the duel stage.
A colossal hand, constructed from various materials, roared and whipped up a fierce wind as it slammed down heavily towards Luo Xiu.
The mysterious and intricate whispers of the ancient gods intertwined with the beams of holy light falling from the sky, unleashing an even more powerful force than before, threatening to curse Luo Xiu and drag him into the abyss.
But neither whispers nor giant hands are as fast as Murray.
He knew the purpose of the potion in Luo Xiu's hand; it was a gift from Earl Shek to Kelda, the last student in the class.
In fact, many fifth-tier experts are unwilling to provide their students with material assistance. They have all gone through the process of advancing from fourth to fifth tier and know that providing too much help will not be beneficial and will instead backfire.
However, Earl Shek was already quite old when he discovered Kelda. After taking Kelda in, he always had a kind of favoritism towards his last student, which is why he gave Kelda two bottles of fourth-tier potions that he had concocted himself.
This silvery-white potion is among the best of all fourth-tier potions. Its crafting difficulty is not much lower than that of fifth-tier potions, and it is more suitable for lower-tier fourth-tier potions. Unlike the fifth-tier potions given to Bojelica, it does not have such severe side effects after being consumed.
Murray knew this, so he unleashed his full power, and an invisible stream of energy flowed through his body, reaching his feet, using his fastest speed to stop Luo Xiu from using the potion.
Even though he had pushed his speed to the limit, his figure was as fast as lightning, and his projection on the screen turned into a blur, he was still a step too slow.
The potion in Luo Xiu's hand was crushed, and a silvery-white medicinal mist erupted, instantly merging into Luo Xiu's body.
Luo Xiu felt every pore on his body opening up, his blood flowing rapidly, his skin glowing, his body growing taller and larger, and a powerful force bursting forth from his heart and being pumped to his limbs.
He glanced at his stats panel and was surprised to find that all his attributes had increased by 10%.
Such a potion might be ordinary for someone of a lower rank because of their low base attributes, but for his level, the improvement is enormous. He has now broken through 600 in physique, over 550 in strength, and his other attributes are all approaching the 450 mark.
Seeing Murray rushing to within a few meters of him, Luo Xiu took a step forward and instantly appeared beside Murray.
His speed hadn't yet reached the level of a fourth-tier high-level individual, but Murray had just been sprinting towards him and had no time to react before Murray closed in on him.
Luo Xiu stretched out his hand, and with just a simple movement, Murray felt an immense sense of pressure. A series of explosions rang out in the air, demonstrating the terrifying power contained in Luo Xiu's outstretched hand.
Murray was too late to retreat when Luo Xiu grabbed his arm.
He quickly mobilized all the air in his body to surge towards his arm, creating a vortex in his arm as before, attempting to deflect Luo Xiu's power. At the same time, a mysterious power surged within him, wanting to return the deflected power to Luo Xiu.

But it was no use. Luo Xiu's power had reached a new level. With a heart-wrenching scream, Murray's arm was crushed and flung away by Luo Xiu, crashing into one of the giant hands coming from behind.
Lala'an's expression changed, and she immediately altered the trajectory of the giant hand. However, the two were too close, and Luo Xiu's throwing force was immense. With a loud bang, Murray was struck by the giant hand and spat out a mouthful of blood.
This scene stunned the audience. The battle had only been going on for a few seconds, and Murray was already seriously injured. Was the blond man on the stage really that strong?
Before this duel, many people speculated that Count Shek's second student had reached the upper fourth rank after hearing that Murray had spoken out to avenge Kelda.
It wasn't until Murray appeared and blocked Luo Xiu's attack that everyone realized Murray had truly entered the upper fourth tier, becoming Kanriel's eighth young genius with the potential to advance to the fifth tier. But now, in just a few seconds, this potential fifth-tier candidate was being pinned to the ground and rubbed against, seemingly powerless to resist, shocking many.
Is the Adventurers' Academy really failing, or is Master Tata's student just too strong? Most people were filled with doubt and deep thought at this moment.
On the dueling platform, this battle of the century continues.
With one giant hand missing, Luo Xiu seemed to be able to handle the second giant hand with ease; at least with his speed, dodging the blows of this giant hand would not be difficult.
Lala'an was well aware of this, but she was even more convinced that Luo Xiu would not dodge, because the power Luo Xiu had displayed had already surpassed that of the giant hand. Given Luo Xiu's aggressive demeanor, he would definitely choose to confront it head-on.
Therefore, the giant hand descended rapidly, accompanied by the dark whispers of the ancient god, rushing towards Luo Xiu.
As expected, just as Lalaan had predicted, Luo Xiu rushed towards the giant hand and disappeared behind the back of the hand.
Excellent! Lala was delighted, and the corners of her mouth turned up.
Luo Xiu's strength might be able to defeat the giant hand, but the giant hand she created is definitely more than just powerful.
The alchemical array covering it would take a third-tier alchemist two days and two nights to release all of it, and the alchemical materials that made up those giant hands were worth twice the wealth of an ordinary lower-tier fourth-tier alchemist.
Furthermore, with the curse skill enhanced by Hethani, Green will definitely make Luo Xiu suffer a terrible fate.
But the sudden rise of black mist around her made her realize that she had made a mistake in her judgment.
This black fog seemed to not only block out her vision, but also make all the noise around her disappear, creating a silence that frightened her.
In her hand, a white magic circle unfolded, and a fierce wind surged from the magic circle, dispelling the black mist on the dueling platform.

In terms of skill usage alone, she may not be as good as Kelda, but as a fourth-tier superior being, she can use any skill flexibly, only the path she has chosen is different from Kelda's.
When the black mist was dispelled, Luo Xiu had vanished without a trace, and the giant hand had failed to capture him.
Lala's heart sank.
She immediately turned her head.
Just as she had predicted, Luo Xiu had already reached a position one step away from Hathani, ready to eliminate the priest first.
Hatheney was treating Murray and had already healed half of his injuries. After the black mist rose, she used holy light to try to dispel it. Now, suddenly, Luo Xiu got close to her, and her cute, childlike face changed color, as she sensed her fate.
A competent squad should protect the priest, which is the job of defensive classes. Monks can be considered half defensive classes, but Murray clearly cannot provide much protection for Hetheny at this moment.
Luo Xiu punched Hathaway's lovely face, and white light surged from her chest to block him.
She also brought defensive gear. For professions that are not good at physical combat, defensive gear is essential.
But Luo Xiu looked at the white light that appeared before him, but his heart remained calm. He had a premonition that his punch could break through the defensive item and still have power left over.
His muscles trembled, his power was fully unleashed, and with a single strike, the barrier formed by the white light shattered. Luo Xiu's fist continued forward, landing directly on Hathani's face.
boom!
Blood splattered, and Heather's lovely face was twisted by Luo Xiu's punch, her body flying backward.
Tears streamed down her face involuntarily, but ignoring the intense pain, she forcefully unleashed her fourth-tier skill in mid-air.

It can heal most injuries, dispel most curses, and restore energy.
