151 Losing Isn't Fun, So I Never Lose

He mustered his courage and stepped into the arena. In the wide expanse of white sand stood a man with golden-brown hair and purple eyes.

Jia Ren Lu became serious and carefully checked his equipment before entering the arena. He then glanced at the information displayed by the other party. "Alpha Rank, level 30 pure [Martial Artist], and a Dragon Faction member who is not good at close combat. Great, I am a Crane Faction member. As long as we get close, I can take him down in one combo."

Although I was startled at first, after taking a look now, I realized that he was nothing special. All the data was normal. His Dexterity was only 17 points, while I had 19 points. So his turning speed, dodging, and movement precision must not be as good as mine.

Not only that, the other side wasn't even wearing any equipment. Haha, how arrogant.

Once caught, the Crane School's explosive power would be too much for the Dragon School to handle. Moreover, Dragon School Martial Artist do not have a super body in the early stages.

Overall, it has advantages in both error tolerance and paper strength.

After seeing the data, Jia Ren Lu immediately gained confidence. This was her debut battle as a newcomer, and she was determined to prove herself in front of the seniors in the guild.

He sized the other man up, a smirk playing on his lips.

"You're the one who's cheating? You don't look that great."

Li Aoz took a sip of lemonade and glanced at the other person. "New here?"

Jia Ren Lu's face hardened. "So what if it is? Facing Crane Sect Martial Artist without armor, your good luck ends here."

"It's nothing, play however you want, you can't win anyway."

Li Aoz finished his soda and politely tossed it into the trash can on the sidelines. "Heave-ho! Goal!"

He turned to look at Jia Ren Lu: "It's already started, let's go."

How could you look down on yourself like that...

"Snort!"

With a sullen face, Jia Ren Lu drew a pair of curved swords with both hands and suddenly launched a fierce attack.

[Aura Burst]

[Crane School · Iron Wire Crossing]

He was very fast and skillfully controlled his position. He didn't charge blindly. As long as the opponent used Aura Cannon to bombard him, he could change direction instantly by simply touching the tip of his toe.

The result was unexpected. He had already crossed the center line, but Li Aoz was still swaying and looking unsteady, with droopy eyes, as if he hadn't reacted at all.

"Too slow! Too slow! Is this all there is to a 49-game winning streak?!"

In an instant, Jia Ren Lu rushed in front of Li Aoz, slashing down with her Dual Blades, the curved blades imbued with power bursting forth with a chilling light.

This spot, we've got it!

Just as the blade was about to fall, Li Aoz raised his hand and waved it in front of him.

[Dragon School · Neutralizing Force]

The force was like a dragon, powerful and domineering. Jia Ren Lu's twin blades were as if they were caught in a violent torrent, and he almost lost his footing. His hands were tilted and pulled by the force, and if his hands hadn't been wrapped in cloth, this neutralizing force would have knocked his weapons away.

Successfully neutralized the opponent's force.

Moreover—it's a very high level of internal energy transformation!

"It's actually the Perfect Neutralizing Force!"

Jia Ren Lu shifted her position, quickly jumped a few steps, scattering a Firecracker Bomb, and at the same time creating distance, her heart filled with extreme horror.

What a joke... Dragon Sect Martial Artist are notoriously difficult to block attacks. Their only parrying skill is [Neutralizing Force], which requires using just the right amount of force to deflect the opponent's attack within a very short time.

A normal execution of neutralizing force is extremely difficult, enough to be included in a highlight reel video. However, Perfect Neutralizing Force would definitely go viral.

However, when the Jia Ren Lu caught a glimpse of the audience, she was immediately taken aback: these people... were completely unmoved by the Perfect Neutralizing Force she had just unleashed.

No, rather than being indifferent, the expression on their faces was more like numbness.

It's that numbness of 'having tasted enough and being completely tired of it'!

Doesn't that mean—

Before the Jia Ren Lu could even stand still, amidst the fireworks and sounds of firecrackers, a calm announcement rang out:

"Wow, you played well, you actually managed to last until the second round."

"This guy could execute Perfect Neutralizing Force in every previous round?!" Jia Ren Lu's pupils contracted, and she quickly threw out a string of Cluster Bomb. While retreating in time, she switched to her 12.7mm machine gun and sprayed bullets at the smoke from the explosion.

"Did it succeed...?"

The next moment, the smoke from the explosion dissipated, and a bright, blood-red Aura Shield instantly lit up.

Li Aoz unharmed; not even the protective shield of his energy was shattered. He raised his hand, and demonic Bloody Aura began to gather in his palm, along with crimson flames erupting from the corners of his eyes.

Holy crap, what kind of shield is that thick? With such thick defense, I can't break through it at all; I can only watch helplessly as the opponent unleashes their charged Aura Cannon.

Even though Jia Ren Lu has already used all her methods, it would be too ridiculous to give up here.

He gritted his teeth, tossed aside the machine gun, switched back to his familiar Dual Blades, and charged straight at Li Aoz. His thumbs rapidly tapped his chest, activating pressure points.

"Hmph! Eek! Hah! Hey!"

Once the four acupoints are opened, breathing is readjusted, and energy acts like a separate nervous system, taking over the body's systems.

[Crane Style - Unyielding Stance]

"Activate your super armor and fight him!" Upon seeing this, Li Aoz nodded slightly, and the Aura Sphere in his palm stopped condensing.

As expected, no matter how tough they were, the Dragon Sect Martial Artist had no choice but to give up accumulating Qi when facing the Crane Sect, which had activated its Overlord Body.

The Jia Ren Lu to Li Aoz's side, drawing Dual Blades simultaneously, creating a turbulent wave. The sharp blades tore through the air, weaving together a series of sizzling sounds, as sharp and piercing as whistles.

Li Aoz remained unhurried and strolled leisurely. He held the ball of energy in one hand, maintaining a semi-condensed strength, while the other hand was behind his back, reducing his surface area. Each time, he gave Jia Ren Lu just the right distance, giving her the illusion that he was about to be cut down, enticing her to keep advancing recklessly.

The more actions you perform, the easier it is to make mistakes.

But what if something goes wrong?

Snap! Seizing the opportunity, Li Aoz dodged half of his body, avoiding the wild slashing of the Dual Blades, and raised a foot, like a scalpel, precisely striking the inside of Li Aoz's right knee.

"—Hiss!"

The kick was so powerful that the bone caved in and shattered on the spot. The intense pain made Jia Ren Lu scream in agony, but thanks to his invincible state, he was unaffected by the fracture. He immediately turned off the Pain System, turned around instantly, and slashed down at Li Aoz's head with his Dual Blades.

Li Aoz slightly turned his head to avoid the attack, and then slammed the rapidly spinning Aura Sphere in his hand into the opponent's chin.

This is the only part of the opponent's body where they are not wearing armor.

The constantly spinning Aura Sphere instantly transformed into a meat grinder, tearing up the opponent's jawline in a short moment and shredding the entire face at a visible speed, even pulling in the nasal cartilage and eyeballs. In no time, Li Aoz gently pinched and removed the opponent's chin.

*Thud! Jia Ren Lu knelt on both knees, entering a near-death state. Due to his eyeballs being torn apart, his vision was completely black.

Li Aoz reminded him:

"Remember to get an alloy chin next time."

Having said that, he turned around, opened his arms, and revealed a wicked smile:

"Is anyone still accusing me of cheating? Everyone is welcome to come and witness it anytime."

"Anyway, I'm invincible, so do as you please. If all else fails, you can always use a cheat code."
