Red Flame Knight
On the arena, the martial arts event is still in full swing, and the death of Liu Bai has merely set the stage for a bloody spectacle, a fact now cast aside without hesitation.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: The eighth battle is about to begin. Please select your betting target within two minutes!
Following this, players are presented with a selection box—
[Crimson Flame Knight · Yang Yun]VS[Wrath of the Earth · Angus]
"Damn it, why choose this guy again!"
"Angus is sure to win!"
"I don't believe it, Yang Yun, go for it!"
"Crimson Flame Knight, sounds impressive. Wrath of the Earth is just nonsense..."
...
Under the influence of a rebellious mentality, many players, despite knowing Angus's formidable strength, still choose Yang Yun, hoping that the latter can defeat the former.
However, the rational ones are not in the minority. Aware of Angus's strength, they remain sensible.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Please promptly enter the arena, or it will be considered a forfeit!
As the system bell rings in his ears, Jiang Han calmly steps onto the stage, his gaze locked onto his opponent. He activates Insightful Eye—
[Crimson Flame Knight · Yang Yun](Celestial-tier BOSS)
Level: 125
Health: 15,000,000
Attack: 150,000-155,000
Defense: 80,000-84,000
Skills: [Flaming Strike][Raging Will][Bloodsucking Power][Soul Ignition]
Introduction: One of the talents nurtured by the Bright Camp, becoming a Celestial-tier powerhouse at the age of twenty-five. Mastery over flames, nicknamed the Flame Spear King.
...
A Celestial-tier BOSS!
This time, he encounters a formidable opponent!
"Will you go down on your own, or shall I, the Flame Spear King, send you down?" Yang Yun, mounted on a fully red wolf-like steed, aims his spear at Jiang Han with an arrogant expression, confident of winning the martial arts competition.
"Flame Spear King? Interesting, I have a premonition that this guy is fierce!"
"Hehe, Angus is likely to lose this time!"
"Yang Yun, blast Angus for me!"
...
The crowd cheers.
Encountering this, Jiang Han has a sudden thought, "Flame Spear King?"
"How about it? Have you heard of my title?" Yang Yun lightly laughs, not surprised by Jiang Han's question.
Among the younger generation of the Heavenly Wind Dynasty, his reputation is not small.
"Clap, clap, clap..."
The answer to him is a monotonous and abrupt applause.
Jiang Han claps his hands, laughing, "Quite coincidentally, I am also the Flame Spear King!"
This is a spontaneous decision.
The opponent's title sparks in him a sudden interest in showcasing his cold character.
"Hmph!"
Yang Yun frowns, "You're also the Flame Spear King?"
"That's right!"
Jiang Han nods, his smile unchanged, "People give nicknames, and mine happens to be the Flame Spear King!"
"Hmph!"
Yang Yun snorts, saying no more, riding his mount towards Jiang Han, "Do you really think I'll believe it? Clearly, you're using an axe. What does it have to do with a spear!"
"Hiss!"
The long spear stabs directly, the piercing sound sharp, and the tip of the spear radiates clusters of flames, enhancing its power.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Crimson Flame Knight · Yang Yun uses the skill [Flaming Strike], next attack power increases by 300%, and inflicts a burning effect!
War Stomp!
Jiang Han activates his signature skill, intentionally keeping a distance instead of getting close. Standing at the edge of the arena, he retorts loudly, "Your words are misguided. The Furious Dragon Axe is only the first stage. Since I'm facing a Celestial-tier powerhouse, I naturally need to unleash its second stage... the form of a spear!"
"Swoosh!"
Black and red intertwine as Jiang Han's large axe gradually transforms in the brilliant light, taking the shape of a spear that requires both hands to wield. The spear is short, with a dark black barrel at the front and a bayonet, distinctly different from Yang Yun's spear.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: You unleash the accompanying skill, [Illusory Transformation], transforming your weapon. Due to the weapon being a ranged weapon, it is not an equipped item for your class, and only attains 50% effectiveness!
"......"
"Damn it!"
The audience falls into brief silence, then erupts in uproar. All players stare in disbelief, some even holding their heads in their hands, finding the scene before them unbelievable.
Is this guy really a native?
The game is clearly set in a world of swords and magic, how can there be such a spear!
A failed attack, coupled with the oddity of the adventurers outside the city, makes Yang Yun's expression turn serious. He looks at Jiang Han's weapon with incomprehension, "Is that a spear?"
He has never seen such a peculiar-looking spear before.
"Yes, a legitimate automatic rifle!"
With a mix of nervousness and anticipation, Jiang Han opens the lock, presses the switch.
"Da-da-da..."
Flames burst from the barrel as bullets rapidly shoot out. However, unlike reality, the speed is not so fast as to be invisible to the naked eye. With Yang Yun's strength, he can barely dodge a few.
-48,120!
"Just that!"
Yang Yun, feeling the damage is not high, rides towards Jiang Han.
"Is that so?"
Jiang Han doesn't summon a mount, directly activating Unity of Man and Horse, increasing all attributes by 50%, and his attack power significantly rises. The damage becomes substantial.
-534,810!
-1,248,944!
-524,108!
...
Experiencing the might of the automatic rifle, Yang Yun's face changes slightly. Looking at Jiang Han's weapon, he can't understand, "Is that a spear?"
He has never seen a spear with such a unique appearance.
"Yes, a genuine assault rifle!"
With a bit of tension and excitement, Jiang Han, under Yang Yun's irritated gaze, fires continuously, rapidly depleting Yang Yun's health. When it drops to half, veins pop up on Yang Yun's face, his complexion reddening, and crimson energy emits from his body.
Undoubtedly, he is pulling out all the stops.
"You forced me to do this!"
Yang Yun, furious, is extremely resentful at being beaten so miserably.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Crimson Flame Knight · Yang Yun uses the skill [Bloodsucking Power], gaining a 20% lifesteal effect, lasting for five minutes!
"Ding!~"
System prompt: Crimson Flame Knight · Yang Yun uses the skill [Soul Ignition], sacrificing 2% of his health per second as a cost, increasing all attributes by 80%, lasting for two minutes!
"Let's see where you can escape!"
He raises the long spear, urging his mount towards Jiang Han. Due to the limited area of the arena, he finally catches up with the latter.
"Ding!~"
System prompt: You use the skill [Chasing the Sun], increasing movement speed by 100%, lasting for one minute!
Evading the opponent's attacks once again, Jiang Han continues to distance himself.
40%!
30%!
Yang Yun's health enters the danger zone.
"If you have the guts, don't run!" Yang Yun's face turns iron blue with anger.
Jiang Han pays no attention to this.
At a certain moment, the effect of the Burning Soul on Yang Yun ends due to insufficient health, causing his state to plummet. His face turns slightly pale, panting, "I... I surrender!"
"Swoosh!"
The automatic rifle disappears, reverting to the Furious Dragon Axe. Jiang Han swiftly approaches, golden light radiating, and reaches level 117.
"Sorry, without my permission, you can't surrender."
Putting away his playful demeanor, Jiang Han's expression remains indifferent. Amid the astonished expressions of the onlookers, he steps forward to pick up the equipment dropped by Yang Yun's corpse.
"This guy... this guy..."
"The first time killing that Liu Bai was understandable, considering the huge gap. But what about this time? The opponent surrendered, yet he still ruthlessly attacked?"
"This person is addicted to killing!"
...
In the spectator seats, countless players have various attitudes, with mockery prevailing. The natives below the arena exchange glances, whispering to each other, their eyes filled with disgust.
Jiang Han remains indifferent, eyebrows cold, without joy or sorrow.
Different stances aside, he is currently in a precarious situation and needs to prioritize his own safety. If his identity is exposed, it's likely that everyone present will turn against him.
As for caring about the Bright Camp's opinion, that can wait.
