Chapter 130: Refund!!

"Lin Mo, it's over!"

Ye Kong wanted to use this blade to prove to everyone who the true strongest of Long Xu Ban was!

However,

Crack-crack-crack—!

Countless crimson magma and pitch-black rock materialized out of thin air, instantly covering Lin Mo's entire body.

In the blink of an eye.

A set of ferocious, domineering heavy armor wrapped Lin Mo up tightly.

"Huh??"

Ye Kong hadn't even reacted yet.

A blade came down hard on Lin Mo's battle armor.

Clang—!!!!

Sparks flew in all directions!

On that thick lava battle armor, only a faint white scratch was left.

It didn't even break the defense.

"What?!"

Ye Kong's face went pale with shock.

A mage—where did such a badass armor skill come from?

In the instant Ye Kong was stunned.

Lin Mo's left hand shot out abruptly, clamping down hard on the wrist of Ye Kong's blade-holding hand.

"Ready for takeoff?"

From beneath the visor, a teasing voice rang out.

"Eh?"

Ye Kong froze for a beat.

The next second,

Lin Mo's right hand clenched into a fist.

That magma-wrapped fist slammed straight into Ye Kong's face.

Boom—!!

Immense force erupted in an instant.

Ye Kong felt as if his skull had been hit head-on by a siege hammer, his head buzzing, instantly going blank.

His whole body flew backward.

At the same time,

Since Hearing Xiao Tu was still in closed-door cultivation, Lin Mo could only activate the skill himself.

"Earth Rise!"

Rumble-rumble-rumble—!!!

A Thick Surface of earth wall suddenly rose from the ground!

On the ground, ring after ring of red fire circles stacked together.

Boom—!!

Ye Kong slammed hard into the earth wall.

The next second,

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Pillar after pillar of blazing fire shot skyward.

Ye Kong was sent straight into the sky by these pillars of fire.

Under the relentless bombardment of the fire pillars, he let out a shrill, miserable scream.

Mid-air.

A blinding white light flared suddenly!

That was the sign that 【Soul Shelter】 had taken effect, and it also meant… Ye Kong had lost!

The white light transformed into a massive cocoon of light, wrapping Ye Kong within it, then crashing heavily to the ground.

……

"This…"

On the viewing platform, deathly silence.

Everyone's mouth hung wide open, staring dumbly at the scene.

From start to finish, how many seconds had passed?

Was there even two seconds?

Didn't Ye Kong just blink over there?

And then got punched flying, and was volleyed around in the sky like a volleyball?

Meaning Han Mengqing's "hold out for ten seconds" was overrating Ye Kong?

"Holy crap, what the hell?"

Someone pointed at the other side of the arena, at that domineering figure clad in lava armor.

"Wait, isn't Lin Mo a mage? What mage wears heavy armor? What mage can punch someone flying?"

"So this Lin Mo isn't some traditional mage! He's a melee mage! A battle mage!"

"No wonder, no wonder he could take first place... If I recall correctly, that armor should be the Fire-Earth dual-element combination technique, the Lava Battle Armor, right?"

"Holy cow, comprehending a combination technique at this level? That's too strong!"

"What's the point of fighting then! A shell like a tortoise, plus this terrifying melee burst, relying on this armor and a few ranged skills, taking first place is absolutely no problem!"

"Sigh, Ye Kong's disadvantage was purely in the intelligence! He mistook Lin Mo for an ordinary ranged glass-cannon mage, but the guy is actually a warrior wearing a mage's skin!"

The crowd suddenly realized, each one transforming into an expert, analyzing with perfect logic.

In their eyes, the reason Lin Mo could one-shot Ye Kong was entirely due to this unexpected heavy armor and melee capability, catching Ye Kong completely off guard.

Immediately after,

After finishing the analysis, everyone finally realized another thing.

"My money!!"

"Ye Kong! Refund!!"

"Damn it! Refund!!"

A chorus of wailing and howling echoed through the stands; everyone clutched their chests, heartbroken to the point of being unable to breathe.

All the money was lost!

"It's over... my allowance..."

"Heading to the rooftop... anyone forming a group? I'll jump first..."

The boy who had previously wanted to bet on Lin Mo was now clutching his chest.

"I knew it... I knew it..."

"When the house laughs, I laugh too... When the house laughs, my wallet falls..."

"It's over... It's all over... The wind on the rooftop tonight must be very noisy..."

Wails rose and fell in succession.

And on the other side.

Han Mengyao and Chu Lingxuan looked calm, as if they had foreseen this result long ago.

Han Mengqing was even laughing so hard she couldn't close her mouth:

"We're rich, we're rich! This round wiped out everyone! Wiped out!"

"Big Shot Lin Mo is too awesome! We must treat him to a big meal later! The most expensive one!"

At the edge of the arena.

Director Su took a deep breath, turned to look at Xu Wenchang, with a strange expression in her eyes:

"Old Xu..."

"This... is a bit exaggerated, isn't it? Is this a mage?"

Xu Wenchang crossed his arms, looking at her proudly:

"How about it? He's got some skills, right?"

"Alright, alright, hurry up and save him."

Director Su stopped wasting words, tapped her toe, and instantly appeared beside Ye Kong.

Beams of thick green light showered down on Ye Kong, forcibly pulling him back from the brink of death.

On the other side of the arena.

Lin Mo dispelled the Lava Battle Armor on his body and shook his hands.

An extremely arrogant voice of 'Fireball' echoed in his mind.

【'Fireball' sneered: Pfft! What level are you, daring to get close to me? Not even as good as a single monster, trash!】

Lin Mo pursed his lips, feeling somewhat unsatisfied.

Sigh.

That was too easy to defeat, wasn't it?

At this moment, under Director Su's powerful healing technique, Ye Kong's injuries rapidly healed, and he slowly regained consciousness.

Xu Wenchang stepped forward and announced loudly:

"The victor is decided!"

"The winner, Lin Mo!"

"The class monitor of this Long Xu Ban..."

However,

He hadn't finished speaking.

"Wait!!"

Ye Kong roared.

Although his face was still somewhat pale, a fire of unwillingness burned in his eyes.

"I don't accept it!"

"I don't accept it!!!"

"The position of Long Xu Ban class monitor must be accepted by everyone! Right now, I don't accept it!"

Seeing this, Lin Mo also laughed.

One-shotted, and still not accepting it?

Are all young masters from the Capital Circle this arrogant?

Xu Wenchang frowned, looked at Ye Kong, with a few traces of severity in his eyes:

"Don't accept it?"

"Ye Kong, you didn't even last three seconds; you were taken out by a single combo. What right do you have to be dissatisfied?"

"A loss is a loss. Do you not even have the magnanimity to accept that?"

Facing Xu Wenchang's accusation, Ye Kong's face flushed red as he loudly defended himself:

"I am not a sore loser!"

"I lost due to faulty intelligence!"

Ye Kong pointed at Lin Mo and shouted:

"I thought he was a traditional mage! I thought he was a ranged glass cannon! That is why I chose to close in for an assassination!"

"If I had known he was a melee mage, I would never have been foolish enough to fight him face-to-face!"

The more Ye Kong spoke, the more agitated he became.

In his view, the reason he lost so miserably was entirely because he had been misled by Lin Mo's class; he had rashly closed the distance only to run headlong into a wall of iron.

Ye Kong turned his head to look at Xu Wenchang, calming his agitated emotions:

"Teacher Xu, you should know that my true specialty is actually ranged combat. This failure was purely a result of incorrect intelligence and misjudgment."

"If it were a ranged engagement, I, Ye Kong, would fear no mage!"

Having finished speaking, Ye Kong took a deep breath and fixed his gaze on Lin Mo once more:

"Lin Mo, do you dare to fight me again?"
