197: Why don't you all come one by one? Or do you all come at once!

He did not really like to use magic and his Power of the Undead in this world.

It was as interesting as leveling up a new alt character.

But this alt could reach max level through Awakening at any time.

When Lu Chen gracefully landed in the arena, Nita was being teleported back to the spectator stand.

The dwarf swung his power hammer into a hurricane of electric light, the sulfur mist spewed by the steam pipes blurring the images of the eight holographic referees around them. "Come, come, kid, I knew about you yesterday, today I'll let you witness the power of Moradin!"

"Great skill looks like clumsiness." Lu Chen tapped the ground with his sword sheath, and the Seal script characters of the Dao De Jing spread across the titanium alloy floor.

The dwarf's prideful steam kinetic energy suddenly backflowed, the heavy hammer froze three inches from Lu Chen's brow, and what spewed from the pressure valve was not flames, but Demonic Energy.

A crisp sound of a wine bottle dropping to the ground came from the spectator stands!

The out-of-control steam actually condensed into a phantom in mid-air.

The elf mage's pointed ears glowed with blue light. "He really is a powerhouse, we came to the right place today! He is influencing his opponent!"

Before the words faded, the tassel of Lu Chen's sword had already swept across the vital point on the dwarf's neck, and the two-ton body crashed to its knees, the handle of the power hammer visibly cracking.

"Next."

Lu Chen flourished his sword, and the wind pressure created when the tianwen sword returned to its sheath knocked over three betting boards.

Nita noticed that his cuffs, embroidered with the He Tu pattern, were spotless.

But her own palms were already soaked with cold sweat.

Obviously, Nita knew Lu Chen was strong.

But she still didn't have that much confidence.

The little girl still didn't know exactly how strong Lu Chen really was.

Temple Knight Commander Algernon pushed through the crowd, his Holy Light armor and mithril greatsword shining in harmony.

He made a cross on his chest and leaped into the arena, the challenge rune lighting up on the ground was a rare blood color. "Heretic from the East, I will teach you a lesson about your evil arts."

"St. George's Dragon-slaying opening stance? Someone from the Church."

Lu Chen looked calm. "It's a pity that your Qi lagged for half a breath when moving through the Hand Shaoyang Meridian."

The moment the knight commander's greatsword fell, the tianwen sword pierced into the gap of his armor with an eerie trajectory, and the blade didn't draw blood, but rather pried up his armor.

When the four golden characters "Clear the Heart, Dismiss Desire" were branded onto the Holy Light shield, the defensive layer, which claimed to be able to withstand Dragon breath, melted like spring snow.

The nuns and priestesses in the spectator stands collectively stood up and made the sign of the cross. They saw Lu Chen's sword sheath pointed at the knight commander's throat; just one step, and this knight captain would be dead!

Nita's red eyes suddenly stung—she was still somewhat worried!

"I accept your concession."

Lu Chen sheathed his sword, and the knight commander's Oath Ring quietly shattered.

Only when the healers on the sidelines rushed up did they discover that the inside of Algernon's armor was covered in traces of Sword Qi, all of which were marks that could pierce the armor and take his life at any moment.

As for his Holy Light, it was also violently churning amidst these remaining traces of Sword Qi, suppressed by the Sword Qi.

The witch in a backless evening gown suddenly shattered her crystal glass and leaped into the arena!

Violet Demonic Energy flames danced on her fingertips. "Let me try your Eastern tricks!"

The witch threw out a Seal formation composed of twelve tarot cards, each card face flickering with projections of the seventy-two demons of Solomon.

This time, Lu Chen finally drew his sword.

When the azure light of the tianwen sword cut through the demon projections, Nita heard the chanting of Sword Qi and the roars of the demons interwoven into a strange chord.

The Baal demon dog summoned by the witch suddenly turned into an ink wash scroll halfway through its pounce, and what it held in its sharp teeth was actually an "Ice-type magic ice ball";

But before this ice ball could explode,

It was shattered by a single strike from Lu Chen!

The Lemegeton incantations she was so proud of were continuously retreating under Lu Chen's sword.

"Kan is Water, Li is Fire." Lu Chen's sword tip suddenly pierced into the Zhen position, and the Five Elements rotation of the entire magic array came to an abrupt halt.

As the witch staggered back, her priceless arcane necklace suddenly snapped, and thirty-six magic crystals fell to the ground, shattering everywhere.

Lu Chen thought that if Sun Feifei were here.

She would probably cast a hexagram.

And recite the Qian hexagram's judgment: "The Dragon is in the field, it is advantageous to see the Great Man."

"I'll challenge Your Excellency and see!" A minotaur mercenary snorted thick breaths from his nostrils. "He can even use the weapon in his hand to break the formation?! You mages can't possibly be his opponents, we still need to use power to suppress this guy!"

At this moment, a magic rune scholar in the crowd recorded with trembling fingers on a tablet: The suppression coefficient of Eastern secret arts against Western arcane arts has reached 3.7; the "Pan-Continental Combat Power Assessment White Paper" needs to be revised.

But the next second!

The minotaur was also sent flying by a single sword strike from Lu Chen.

Challengers kept coming up.

And kept being defeated by Lu Chen!

When the seventeenth challenger, a mecha warrior carrying eight magic crystal power cores,

—was finally dealt with by Lu Chen using a bit of magic, freezing the joint fluid with Ice-type magic...!

The referee panel finally activated the emergency braking system.

When the holographic projection of the Chief Referee descended, the star map on his robe was twisting violently. "Based on the intensity of your competition, my suggestion is to enable the Hundred Weapons Martial Arts mode for you!"

Nita saw Lu Chen smile for the first time.

His indifferent posture of flicking his sword was just like how he looked three days ago when admiring the moon on the dome of the Pantheon!

"—Just what I wanted."

Lu Chen remained confident, remained indifferent.

He remained invincible.

The referee panel's magic crystal loudspeakers burst with piercing buzzing, the titanium alloy floor of the circular arena cracked into seventy-two gullies, and ancient magic array patterns emerged from the fissures with golden light.

Lu Chen stood in the Kun position holding the tianwen sword, and he had the Eight Trigrams chart in his heart between heaven and earth.

The Kunlun jade buckle hanging from the tassel of the sword in Lu Chen's hand made his figure look dashing and unrestrained!

"Hundred Weapons Martial Arts mode initiated!" The Chief Referee's robe was whipped by the energy flow, flapping loudly. "Challengers will receive a triple Demonic Energy boost—."

"You can also obtain arena rewards, Third-grade magic scrolls, and some magic potions."

Before the words faded, magic fireworks suddenly exploded in the spectator stands.

A holographic advertisement from a potion company spanned the dome, and a virtual idol wearing a cyber-qipao was promoting "Instant Recovery Potion."

It was worthy of being the most popular arena and training ground.

There was a reason it was being broadcast live.

The advertisement voice was still playing;

"The probability of injury while spectating has increased to 78%, it is recommended to purchase the Supreme protection package!"

"Please follow our arena and training ground."

"—Ciallo～ ( ∠ ・ ω < ) ⌒ ★!"

Nita's hand dug into the spectator seat armrest, and dark red energy seeped into it.

At this moment, she saw figures that made the air distort walking out of seven teleportation beams:

A dwarf gunner riding a mechanical Dragon, an elven Archmage wrapped in elemental chains, and even a Vatican Cultivator draped in sacred burial cloth—!

Every challenger's combat power rating had broken through the SS-level critical value.

"Start with you." Lu Chen's sword finger lightly tapped the Zhen position.

A halo condensed from Demonic Energy suddenly materialized under his feet; it was the Eight Trigrams formation!

The Eight Trigrams formation suddenly reversed the Five Elements.

The magic crystal flames spewed by the mechanical Dragon hit the condensed ink-wash barrier, and the Dragon breath, which should have melted through steel plates, turned into tiny sparks.

The dwarf gunner was astonished to find that in his alchemy scope, worth a million gold coins, Lu Chen's figure seemed to show the shadow of a skeleton for an instant?

But it disappeared in the next moment!
