60: Free your hands!

“Hiss—a live-in son-in-law? How terrifying!”

“It seems Qian Sui’s ambition is not small. The scroll he bought last year, he still hasn’t used it to advance this year! Is he aiming for an S-rank evaluation for his advancement mission?”

“With Qian Sui’s strength, even without having advanced, he’s enough to contend with ordinary professionals!”

“The one on the Arena isn’t an ordinary professional!”

“So what? That guy has already fought nine consecutive matches! Even if each match was quick, his stamina and mental energy must have been somewhat depleted! Facing Qian Sui now, it’s hard to say who will win or lose!”

In the audience, everyone held their breath for Lin Chuan, wondering if he could achieve ten consecutive victories!

Even Chen Jingtian, who was originally smug, looked displeased when Qian Sui entered the Arena.

He even couldn’t help but curse, “This damn Arena! They must have invited Qian Sui over! It’s intentional! Damn it, they deliberately don’t want anyone to get ten consecutive wins!”

Hu Shilong and Alvin were still bewildered.

They didn’t know Qian Sui, didn’t know about eight-star scrolls, didn’t know about the Source Plane…

They only knew that Lin Chuan’s goal seemed to be twenty consecutive wins!

So this match, he should be able to win smoothly, just like before, right?

In the private room.

Duan Ge and Duan Zichen had a higher perspective.

Both of them were almost certain that Lin Chuan would win against Qian Sui.

At the same time, to win against Qian Sui, he would inevitably pay a price!

And his battles after ten consecutive wins would inevitably become more difficult due to the exhaustion from fighting Qian Sui!

Neither of them spoke, they just stared at the screen without blinking!

And they also keenly noticed—

Lin Chuan’s attitude towards Qian Sui had finally changed!

They finally saw a hint of seriousness on his face, the kind one shows when facing a true opponent!

Qian Sui was a young man with sharp features and a serious expression.

His weapon, like Qing Lang’s, was a dagger.

However, the dagger was a deep black color.

After he stepped onto the stage, he didn’t even directly attack Lin Chuan.

Instead, he cupped his fists slightly and said, “I’ve also fought in the Arena, and I know how difficult it is for the defender. However, in the Arena, there is only competition. Excuse me!”

As soon as he finished speaking, his figure vanished from the spot!

“So fast!”

In the audience, gasps of surprise erupted: “Qian Sui is much stronger than he was half a year ago!”

“If he were to fight in the Arena now, he would probably easily achieve ten consecutive victories!”

“No wonder he could become a live-in son-in-law, this strength, we can’t envy it!”

On the Arena, Lin Chuan’s expression was very serious!

He knew Qian Sui in his previous life. This person advanced to the eight-star profession, Nether Assassin!

He heard that Qian Sui’s career planning before his advancement was very clear. Not only did he allocate all his points to speed, but he also consumed many primary speed attribute fruits!

Moreover, he had trained in the Arena for two years, and his combat awareness was also very strong!

However, facing Qian Sui, Lin Chuan had an advantage!

He had fought Qian Sui in his previous life, and he had won!

In this life, he would certainly win too!

And what he had to do was minimize the consumption!

Both assassins using daggers, Qian Sui and Qing Lang’s attack methods were somewhat similar, yet not entirely.

Qian Sui was more ruthless!

His feinting attacks were almost entirely about trading injuries!

Lin Chuan still had to win ten more matches, so he naturally couldn’t trade injuries with him!

This led to his offense and defense being restricted, making him appear somewhat hesitant!

Three minutes passed!

Qian Sui’s attacks were still frantic and fierce!

And Lin Chuan was almost entirely dodging and defending!

Every tentative attack had to be terminated for fear of injury!

And this was the first time in his ten battles that the combat time exceeded three minutes!

And after three minutes, he still had no solution to Qian Sui’s extreme and frenzied offensive style!

In the audience, everyone watched with great interest!

Except for Chen Jingtian, who had bet on Lin Chuan’s ten consecutive wins, he was on pins and needles!

And in the VIP private room, Duan Ge finally showed a relieved smile.

He took another shallow sip of tea, looking leisurely, and praised, “Which Plane produces this Daguan Cuiming? It tastes good.”

Duan Zichen also took a sip of tea, imitating Uncle Duan. Regardless of the taste, perhaps due to his pleasant mood, he also agreed, “It’s indeed good—”

The pronunciation of the word “good” was subtly trembling!

His hand holding the teacup suddenly shook, and hot tea splashed onto Duan Ge’s hand!

Duan Ge frowned, but then heard Duan Zichen’s trembling voice, filled with shock and awe—

“Qian, Qian, Qian Sui… he lost!”

“What?!” The tea in Duan Ge’s hand also splashed out instantly!

But he clearly had no mind to care, his gaze fixed on the screen!

However, at this moment, only Lin Chuan’s figure remained on the screen!

“Where’s Qian Sui?!”

“He lost??? ”

“How is that possible?!!! How did he lose so quickly!”

“Replay! Show me the replay!”

Soon, the screen rewound and played the scene where Lin Chuan defeated Qian Sui—

Qian Sui’s attack method was still the familiar and frenzied injury-for-injury approach.

And Lin Chuan in the picture finally couldn’t hold back.

His eyes hardened, as if he had finally decided to end the battle quickly at the cost of injury!

He no longer dodged, adopting a stance of head-on confrontation with Qian Sui, his attacks equally fierce and frantic!

But just as his sword and the dagger were about to collide, he suddenly retreated again!

At that moment, Qian Sui did not intend to give him another chance to dodge!

He pursued Lin Chuan, pressing his advantage, but was suddenly disrupted by the sword Lin Chuan threw from his hand!

Lin Chuan actually threw his two-handed sword at Qian Sui!

This was a very bold tactic!

Without his two-handed sword, his attack power would inevitably be greatly diminished!

However, what everyone didn’t expect was that Lin Chuan, who threw his two-handed sword, not only didn’t decrease his combat power but significantly increased it!

Lin Chuan, no longer holding a sword, displayed superb grappling skills!

As Qian Sui dodged the two-handed sword flying towards him, Lin Chuan’s figure moved to the extreme, grabbing Qian Sui’s wrist and delivering an over-the-shoulder throw!

Afterward, he stomped on Qian Sui’s head, crushing it!

That scene was bloody and violent!

And the Duan uncle and nephew stared blankly at the screen, a single word simultaneously appearing in their minds—

Concealment!

Lin Chuan using a two-handed sword was actually not as good as Lin Chuan fighting bare-handed!

After freeing his hands, his combat power surged again!

At this moment, the entire venue was silent!

After the silence, there was even more fervent discussion—

“Holy cow! What strong combat skills! This guy deliberately held back a move!”

“His strength is too great! I felt like he could have torn Qian Sui apart with his bare hands just now!”

“Damn it! Qian Sui lost just like that? Got headshotted by an over-the-shoulder throw? This is too surreal, isn’t it?!”

“Why do I have the illusion that I could do it too? Is Qian Sui too weak?”

The audience was even somewhat unable to accept Lin Chuan’s victory in this match!

And in a certain VIP private room, a graceful young woman calmly stared at Lin Chuan.

Beside her, a middle-aged man said in a deep voice, “Although the son-in-law lost, this Arena Master didn’t win as easily as it appeared. That last over-the-shoulder throw, he expended a considerable amount of energy! For a moment, I felt his aura was a bit unstable!”

The woman, however, shook her head and sighed softly, “Even Yan Qiansui only made him expend a little energy? What is this person’s background?”

The middle-aged man bowed his head and replied, “He’s a newcomer from a newly connected low-level Plane.”

The woman’s expression was somewhat dazed: “Terrifying. This newcomer is not simple.”

The middle-aged man asked in a low voice, “Should we try to contact and recruit him?”

The woman shook her head: “Such a person would probably be very difficult to approach. Let’s leave it to fate.”

And in the private room where the Duan uncle and nephew were, Duan Ge’s expression, which had been extremely displeased when watching the combat replay, quickly returned to calm.

Clearly, he also noticed that Lin Chuan’s defeat of Qian Sui, though seemingly effortless, actually consumed more power than the sum of his previous nine matches!

Duan Ge immediately gripped his jade token and angrily said, “What are you standing around for? Quickly arrange for more people to enter the Arena! In the upcoming battles, don’t give him any chance to catch his breath!”

And as Lin Chuan easily completed ten consecutive victories, more and more spectators noticed this Arena battle in the Training Ground.

More and more VIP private rooms switched their screens to the Arena where Lin Chuan was!

And on the Arena, Lin Chuan barely caught his breath for a few dozen seconds; just as he picked up his two-handed sword from the ground, the eleventh challenger stepped onto the stage!
