The veteran audience members who witnessed this scene erupted in cheers.
"Holy crap! Ran Shen! Is this Ran Shen's power?!"
"Damn! Even a small handgun empowered by Ran Shen is this insane. I can't even imagine what Ran Shen will become later."
"Hahaha, that Zhao Xiong really had no clue, he was just there to make a fool of himself. A few shots from Ran Shen and he was crushed."
"Ran Shen's enchantments feel so overpowered! Much stronger than many specialized enchantment talents..."
"Otherwise, why would they call him Ran Shen? Ran Shen, when will you enchant me!"
"Don't get carried away! Ran Shen isn't gay, he enchants girls, alright?"
"Alas, what a pity. If Ran Shen were interested in me, I wouldn't mind... well, you know!"
"..."
Listening to the cheers for Lin Ran echoing across the entire venue, and looking at Zhao Xiong lying on the ground like a dead dog, Lu Yuan and the others' faces turned extremely grim.
What kind of terrifying technique was this!
To defeat Zhao Xiong so thoroughly with just an ordinary revolver...
They knew that even among those ranked higher than Zhao Xiong, none of them could guarantee a win against him.
After all, the Bloodthirsty Berserk Bear was incredibly formidable when fighting for its life, instilling fear in many.
Yet, such a terrifying talent couldn't even muster a desperate fight in front of Lin Ran. It was instantly annihilated?!
How could they even communicate with him now?
Seeing the expressions of the higher-ranked individuals below the stage, Lin Ran roughly guessed their thoughts and smiled,
"Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me? Come up together for now."
"Save me the trouble of going up and down. It's too bothersome to think about."
"And I hope you'll be quick about it, don't dawdle and waste time."
"Anyway, under my hands, you probably won't last ten seconds."
With that, Lin Ran spread his hands towards Lu Yuan and the others.
Provoked by Lin Ran's words, Lu Yuan and the others were so angry their noses were about to explode.
Qin Tian was the first to lose his composure, hopping onto the stage with a small jump.
"Don't be arrogant... You are strong, but I am not weak either!"
"I will show you the price of being too overconfident!"
At the same time, Wan Meng, Lin Zhaofan, Li Xuan, Lei Zhan, and Wu Huanyu also jumped up.
"Brother Lin's strength is extraordinary. We brothers also wish to learn from you!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the situation, gritted his teeth, and also joined the others on the stage.
"Please enlighten us, Brother Lin!"
Whoosh!
The entire venue, both on and off stage, instantly exploded.
"Holy crap, what are these guys doing? A relay fight?"
"Uh... a bit shameless, wouldn't you say..."
"Unable to beat him in a one-on-one, they're resorting to dirty tricks?"
"Hilarious, and they call themselves scions of noble families. They need to gang up to beat someone from a humble background."
"And they must have planned this beforehand, otherwise, how could they have jumped out together so coincidentally?"
"Seeing they can't win fair and square, they're resorting to underhanded tactics. Haha, they're clearly desperate."
"..."
These voices were uttered without any attempt to conceal them, naturally reaching the ears of the individuals on stage.
However, they clearly no longer cared about such things, simply standing together and glaring at Lin Ran.
As if huddling together would somehow boost their courage.
After taking a deep breath, Qin Tian opened his mouth and said,
"Since I was the first to get on stage, I will be the first to challenge Brother Lin!"
"Brother Lin, you..."
But before Qin Tian could finish, he was interrupted by Lin Ran.
"There's no need, Brother Qin..."
"Having you all come here one by one to die will take too much time."
"Although defeating you won't be difficult, the countdown alone will take a minute."
"That's not ideal, not ideal..."
"How about this, just stop pretending and all come up together."
"This way, we should still be able to compress the time within a minute."
After hearing Lin Ran's cheerful words, Qin Tian felt like he was about to have a cerebral hemorrhage.
Damn it! Why was he so arrogant?!
If it weren't for the rules, he really wanted to rush up and punch Lin Ran in the face right now.
Lu Yuan, Wan Meng, and the others also felt utterly humiliated, their faces flushing red.
Lu Qiufeng from the referee's stand, who enjoyed stirring up trouble, spoke up.
"Ahem... That thing..."
"I heard what you all said."
"Since classmate Lin Ran intends to fight seven, we support it!"
"He is ranked higher, isn't he?"
"Even if you all attack together, as long as you can defeat Lin Ran, your rankings will all rise together!"
"How about it, can both sides accept these terms?"
After hearing Lu Qiufeng's words, Lin Ran loudly declared,
"I have no problem!"
Lu Yuan and the others exchanged glances, then gritted their teeth and said,
"We have no problem either!"
The moment they decided to go for a relay fight, they had already abandoned any pretense of dignity.
Now, to do it more decisively, a seven-on-one without any pretense, why not?
Their hatred for Lin Ran had clearly surpassed many things, reaching an astonishing level.
At this moment, all that remained in their hearts was the will to kill.
However, the public opinion from below the stage would not indulge them.
"Haha, how shameless, still saying 'we have no problem'! Anyone who didn't know would think they're the ones at a disadvantage!"
"What else can they do? The benefits of being first place are so huge, how much is face worth in comparison?"
"That's right, these scions of noble families are always despicable, cruel, and ruthless. This is just them acting as usual."
"Lin Ran's trouble is really significant this time... Seven special recruits with SSS-class talents ganging up on him! Who could withstand that?"
"But since Lin Ran dared to say it, he must have some strength, otherwise he wouldn't dare."
"But I'm still not optimistic about him... A person's strength has its limits. Facing seven equally strong opponents, the chance of him stumbling is not small."
"That's true, it feels like Lin Ran is being a bit too arrogant."
"..."
The discussions among the veteran students in the audience were completely different from those of the freshmen.
"Hey, there are six more people this time. How many seconds do you think they'll last?"
"Didn't we already say? The number of seconds they last depends on how long Ran Shen is willing to play with them!"
"Exactly! Didn't you see Zhao Xiong's fate? I got excited, then he was killed in one shot, what's there to talk about?"
"But if this seven-on-one fight is lost, won't they and their families be disgraced?"
"Who told them to be so shameless? They deserve it!"
"..."
