Chapter 259: Could He Be a C-Class Awakened?

The odds for Jin Boli were frighteningly low, but those placing bets didn't care at all; they just wanted to see Lu Yu lose now, because this newcomer was simply too arrogant!

"The Association has fleeced me of another two thousand points," Lu Yu sighed to himself.

However, he was also clear in his heart that as long as he could win this match, plus the one thousand point bonus for three consecutive wins, his points would definitely exceed ten thousand.

It had to be said that acquiring points through this method was indeed fast.

By then, let alone one True Qi Pill Prescription, he could afford ten; furthermore, he could buy as many Cultivation Methods and Secret Manuals as he wanted, and the thing he would have to worry about instead was whether his Experience Value would be enough.

Just at this moment, the sound of the countdown rang out. Jin Boli looked at Lu Yu with a cold sneer, as if he had already seen the scene of Lu Yu's defeat.

As soon as the countdown ended, Jin Boli suddenly raised his hands, and more than ten Ice Cones, each the thickness of a small arm, whistled toward Lu Yu.

This speed was at least several times faster than the attack speed of the E-rank Awakened from before!

A group of D-rank Awakened looked at each other; it had to be said that this guy Jin Boli really had some skill in his control over the ice element, condensing and firing more than a dozen Ice Cones in almost an instant.

However, the opponent was a Speed-type Awakened; dodging these Ice Cones shouldn't be a difficult task, right?

"Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!" Just then, a series of crisp clashing sounds rang out. One could see Lu Yu's right hand moving as fast as lightning, a point of cold light flickering in his hand, and the incoming Ice Cones were actually all struck, scattering onto the ground one after another.

This scene left everyone present so shocked they couldn't speak.

They had originally thought that Lu Yu might be able to rely on his speed to dodge the Ice Cones, but they never expected that he would stand right there without dodging or evading, knocking down all the Ice Cones launched by his opponent!

Could it be that this was the correct way to use a Speed-type Ability?

"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, Jin Boli gritted his teeth in anger, and he raised his other hand, aiming it at Lu Yu.

The next second, countless Ice Cones emerged from the air in front of his palms as if they cost nothing, sweeping toward Lu Yu in an overwhelming tide.

"I don't believe you can block it this time!" Jin Boli roared in his heart.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding..." The crisp clashing sounds were continuous.

Lu Yu was like a towering wall that would not fall, standing steadily in place; all the incoming Ice Cones were blocked by him, and not a single one could advance even an inch further.

Everyone was stunned.

Whether it was the E-rank Awakened, the D-rank Awakened, or Du Hu and the others in the Control Room, they were all dumbfounded as they watched the growing pile of Ice Cone fragments on the ground.

Was this, was this the true strength of a Speed-type Awakened?

Did it really live up to the saying, "Of all the martial arts in the world, only speed cannot be broken"?

"Brother Hu, are you saying this newcomer is really just a D-rank Awakened?" The man wearing sunglasses couldn't help but turn his head, looking at Du Hu with a face full of suspicion.

"Looking at him, why do I feel like it's more than that?"

Another man nearby swallowed nervously; he was a D-rank Awakened himself and knew the gap between them all too well.

If it were him standing on that Arena, just dodging Jin Boli's attacks would be an almost impossible task, let alone dreaming of knocking down all the Ice Cones the opponent launched.

"I have the same feeling, and besides, I always feel like he hasn't used his full strength yet; it seems like he's still holding something back."

Once these words were spoken, the gazes of the dozen or so people around turned in unison back to the screen.

And wasn't that the truth?

From beginning to end, this newcomer's expression hadn't changed at all; he looked calm, as if the battle before him was nothing more than a piece of cake.

"Could it be that he is actually a C-Class Awakened?"

Du Hu was startled by this thought that had suddenly popped into his mind.

"Damn it!"

On the Arena, Jin Boli was so angry that his face turned bright red, like a ripe tomato.

One had to know that the Ice Cones he fired were astonishingly fast, reaching over 600 meters per second, almost twice the speed of sound, and they were fired without interruption.

But what was the result?

They were all easily blocked by the opponent! This was simply like being slapped hard in the face in front of everyone.

"Fine, I want to see how you block this!"

Jin Boli gritted his teeth. The Ice Cones that had been like a torrential storm suddenly vanished, replaced by ten Ice Blades over a meter long, hovering in front of him and flickering with a cold, icy light.

"Jin Boli is going to get serious now!" Seeing this scene, the eyes of the people around the Arena lit up.

"That's right, these Ice Blades are a level above the previous Ice Cones in both speed and power. I've seen with my own eyes how he used just one Ice Blade to cut an Advanced Fierce Beast in half; he's very powerful!"

"That fierce?"

"Well, that's it then; this newcomer is probably going to lose this time."

"He was so arrogant before, actually betting over a thousand points on himself; I really want to see what his expression will be like when he loses all his points in a moment."

Of course, there were also some who had bet on Lu Yu, and upon hearing these words, they felt a faint sense of agreement in their hearts.

After all, even if Lu Yu won, the points they had bet were not many, and they would get at most fifty or sixty.

But what about Lu Yu?

Six times his 1200-plus points!

That was seven or eight thousand points!

For E-rank and D-rank Awakened like them, this was simply an astronomical figure that was out of reach.

Watching Lu Yu earn so many points all at once made them feel even worse than if they had lost that many points themselves.

"Su Luo, if you admit defeat now, it's still not too late."

Jin Boli stared fixedly at Lu Yu and said coldly.

Lu Yu just shook his head lightly, and the next second, his whole body was like a gust of wind, instantly vanishing from where he stood.

"What's going on! Where did he go?"

"Where did the person go!"

A chorus of exclamations suddenly erupted around the Arena.

Jin Boli's breathing also became rapid; he spun his body frantically, searching everywhere for Lu Yu's tracks, his eyes wide as copper bells.

"Watch out, he's behind you!"

Someone suddenly shouted out.

Just as Jin Boli was about to turn around, a Dagger flashing with a cold light was already silently pressed against his neck.

"Don't move."

Lu Yu's low voice came.

Jin Boli instantly felt his whole body turn icy cold, as if he had fallen into an ice cellar; his body went completely rigid, and he didn't dare to move at all.

The surroundings became so quiet that one could hear a pin drop on the ground.

This was simply a crushing defeat, a thorough and complete crushing!

Everyone even suspected whether this newcomer had intentionally held back earlier, letting Jin Boli off so he wouldn't lose too miserably.

"You lost."

"No, I didn't lose!"

Jin Boli suddenly let out a roar, and immediately after, a strange thing happened.

Layers of white cold Qi were seen rapidly surging out from within his body; these cold Qi quickly condensed on the surface of his skin, and in the blink of an eye, they formed a layer of Ice Armor nearly ten centimeters thick, wrapping him up tightly.

"Hmph, do you think I'm as easy to deal with as those two opponents you encountered before?"

Jin Boli sneered as he looked at Lu Yu, a hint of smugness in his eyes.

Lu Yu swept a glance at him with the look one might give an idiot, then kicked out like a bolt of lightning.

"Bang!"

A loud noise rang out, making the ears of those nearby buzz.

Jin Boli was kicked flying away like a torn sack, and the Ice Armor on his body instantly shattered into countless fragments in mid-air, splashing in all directions.

However, just as he was about to fly out of the Arena, a transparent protective barrier suddenly appeared in the surrounding space, intercepting all these fragments.

With a "bang," Jin Boli fell heavily to the ground, looking utterly disheveled, with fragments of the Ice Armor scattered all over the floor.

The ten Ice Blades that had been condensed earlier also fell to the ground with a "clatter," shattering into pieces.
