Lin Ran's move stunned everyone present.
Others came to compete...
But you decided to play table tennis, right?
This immediately united those who disliked Lin Ran, and they began to cheer for Fabian.
Unfortunately, the disadvantage of this situation clearly would not be swayed by their will.
No matter how hard Fabian tried to conjure bubbles, how desperately he struggled, and how passionately the crowd below cheered...
He could never escape Lin Ran's hands that firmly held him.
With this shameless tactic of combining Almighty Push and Universal Pull, before two minutes were up, Fabian was directly defeated.
Lin Ran had no intention of making things difficult for such a small character. He lightly kicked Fabian off the stage and then cupped his fists towards the Red Leaf country's contingent:
"I concede, I concede..."
Vassily, who was proud and arrogant, could not stand this and immediately flew into a rage:
"Hector, you go!"
"You must deflate that guy's arrogance for me!"
The person named Hector immediately responded excitedly and leaped onto the stage with a whoosh.
Unlike Fabian, who was timid and fearful, this guy's mind was solely focused on how to brutally humiliate Lin Ran to achieve his own fame in one battle.
"Lin Ran! Prepare to accept your death!"
Hector grinned and laughed wildly, flailing his arms.
Vassily couldn't help but nod approvingly at Hector's strong demeanor.
Although the two hadn't started fighting, judging by the posture Hector displayed, he was far superior to the utterly defeated Fabian.
"Yes! That's it, go for it!"
"Smack that guy hard! See if he dares to be arrogant again!"
Vassily below seemed even more excited than Hector on stage.
Their overly optimistic attitude made Lin Ran roll his eyes.
Good heavens, they really thought he was a pushover who could be easily manipulated?
They were already boasting before the fight even began...
If they actually managed to win even a little, wouldn't they become even more arrogant?
In that case, he had to be a bit more serious and show them clearly what the gap between people was, a gap wider than that between humans and dogs!
Watching the countdown slowly tick down to its final moment, Lin Ran's gaze also turned cold.
ROOM domain, activate!
Exactly as the countdown ended, Lin Ran unleashed his ROOM domain, completely enveloping Hector within it.
Hector, completely unaware of the gravity of the situation, casually raised his hands into the air and began to charge up a bizarre energy ball.
Well! He actually dared to charge up so recklessly in a one-on-one arena match like this! It was incredibly audacious!
If he didn't teach this guy a lesson, he would be letting down his arrogance!
Lin Ran sneered and waved his hand, and the powerful cutting force from the Ope Ope no Mi immediately severed the energy ball in the air.
ROOM: Operating Room!
This slash nearly made Hector's eyeballs pop out.
He had never seen anyone be able to cut through their charged energy body out of thin air...
This completely disregarded the basic rules!
Staring dumbfounded as his energy ball in the air was re-severed into molecules, Hector frantically tried to gather another energy body.
Unfortunately, Lin Ran, who had planned for this, had no intention of giving him such an opportunity.
In the next instant, a blade appeared in Lin Ran's hand – Sword of Victory: Dawn of Annihilation!
As for why Lin Ran produced this sword from such a distance, it was, of course...
KROOM: Shock Wave!
Under the influence of this awakened ability of the Ope Ope no Mi, the Sword of Victory in Lin Ran's hand instantly transformed into a forty-meter-long greatsword.
Yes, that's right! It was the awakened ability of the Ope Ope no Mi!
After killing the Sea-Quelling Leviathan that day and obtaining its magic core, Lin Ran had returned that night to absorb it. To his surprise, the magic core had the ability to promote the evolution of his Ope Ope no Mi.
As expected, after consuming it, Lin Ran's Ope Ope no Mi began its path to awakening.
Now, Lin Ran could use its various awakened abilities quite flexibly.
Like now!
The suddenly elongated Sword of Victory extended at an incredible speed, directly piercing Hector's abdomen.
"What the hell is this?! His weapon can lengthen!?"
"And this lengthened weapon can be encased in some unknown barrier, what's going on..."
"But, it's quite cool though..."
The spectators below stared with disbelief, almost thinking they had misread.
For them, the audience, nothing was more captivating than this flashy power.
But when they thought that this flashy power came from that detestable Lin Ran, they felt a surge of disgust.
Baka! Why! Why!
Why does such a person have to be a Dragon Countryman...
If he were a Sakura Countryman, how wonderful that would be.
"Another brand new ability I've never seen before..."
"Damn! Are this guy's trump cards truly endless?!"
"The bizarre effect of extending his weapon—damn it! Whether it's a bloodline ability or a talent, I've never heard of it!"
"Have you heard of any of his other abilities?"
"Mysterious heterochromatic eyes, dimensional gates that shoot arrows, bizarre black flames never seen before, terrifying amplification secret arts..."
"Aren't they all more outrageous than the last?"
"Shit! Thinking about it like this, he's truly a monster!"
"Isn't that stating the obvious... If he weren't a monster, how dare he compete with us old guys at less than twenty years old? Not to mention he only brought two people."
"In my memory, aside from that forbidden existence, no one could possibly do this..."
"Yeah... Speaking of which, that guy is also from Dragon Country!"
"Dragon Country, truly a magical nation..."
While these people were filled with emotion, a fundamental change had already occurred within the arena.
Hector, who had been showing off all sorts of arrogance on stage, could no longer be proud.
He was like a ridiculous banner, held high on Lin Ran's sword tip, becoming a symbol of Lin Ran's victory.
This sword strike was too brutal!
