Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

On the dueling platform, Gallo's face paled, and blood gushed from his mouth:

"You...you shouldn't make false accusations. Since you've already won, just leave. There's no need to be so vicious and slander my reputation."

Gallo's voice reached the ears of the crowd below, but it did not reverse the shift in public opinion.

Those who remember that duel began to analyze that Gallo seemed to have said he would swing his final sword, and then Memphis was inexplicably beheaded and died by Gallo's sword.

Logically speaking, even if there is a gap between the four ranks above, it shouldn't be so huge that he was beheaded with a single sword strike. At the time, some people suspected that there was something wrong with that duel, but there was no evidence.

Now that Luo Xiu had exposed it, public opinion was like an unstoppable flood, rushing forward uncontrollably.

Luo Xiu smiled and walked step by step toward Gallo:

"I've already won, but there are no rules saying I have to leave."

Gallo watched as Luo Xiu approached step by step, his eyes filled with terror:

"What are you going to do? You said you'd only throw three punches, and now you've already thrown them all. You can't go back on your word."

Gallo knew that if he were to take a punch from Luo Xiu at this moment, he would be crippled even if he didn't die.

He was terrified to the extreme, and his limp body began to tremble.

"But Lord Gallo, you swung your sword four times."

Luo Xiu smiled.

"I-I didn't!"

Gallo denied it to the death. He might have denied it earlier for the sake of his reputation, but now it was for his life.

"OK then."

Luo Xiu shrugged:

"Let's just say that you only swung your sword three times, Lord Gallo."

Upon hearing this, Gallo breathed a sigh of relief, his body going limp like a lump of mud. The joy of escaping death echoed in his heart, and he felt that at least he had survived.

He secretly vowed that after this, he would cultivate like a madman and one day cut off the head of the blond man in front of him.

But soon, his expression changed, his pupils trembled wildly, and his limp hands seemed to lift from the ground, shaking:

"You, what are you going to do?"

"I?"

In Luo Xiu's hand, Qiao Wei's longsword danced lightly, and the smile on his face was even brighter than the sunshine today:

"I've thrown three punches, now it's time to swing my sword."

Chapter 152 Slaying Gallo

Luo Xiu's words caused Gallo's expression to change drastically.

After throwing three punches, he's now going to unleash a sword strike, intending to kill himself right here.

"This...this doesn't make sense..."

His voice trembled as he watched Luo Xiu approach him step by step with his sword drawn. He tried to back away by bracing himself with his hands on the ground, but he couldn't muster any strength at all.

Luo Xiu's punch was too terrifying; it shattered most of his bones in one blow. He was already at his limit to be able to speak and was completely unable to move.

In his desperation, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking utterly miserable.

“How can that not make sense, Lord Gallo?”

Luo Xiu had already reached Gallo, his sword raised, gleaming blindingly in the sunlight.

"I said I would only throw three punches, but I didn't say how many sword strikes I would make."

"No...no no no..."

Gallo's face contorted with terror as he stared at the screens around him, screaming desperately:

"Help me! He's going to kill me! He's going to kill me! Headmaster! Headmaster! Lady Vivian, I'm fighting for the Adventurers' Academy!!"

Gallo's pitiful words echoed, but there was no response from the audience.

No one showed up.

At this moment, the dean of the swordsman academy, an old man with white hair, was sitting in a chair. Opposite him was Vivian, a woman with silver hair and a dignified face.

“Your Excellency, I have saved Gallo. He is one of the strongest men in the last five years. Without him, we, Kanriel, will lose a major fighting force at Golden Apple Garden.”

The white-haired old man stared at Gallo's tearful face on the screen between the two of them, his eyes wide with rage, wishing he could rush out and save Gallo.

"Go ahead, no one's stopping you."

Vivian, with her full head of silver hair, picked up the wine glass on the table, took a small sip, and spoke in a voice that was old yet gentle:

"If you think you can beat that little guy."

Upon hearing Vivian's words, the elderly man with white hair seemed to deflate instantly, slumping into his chair.

His eyes were filled with resentment. Gallo was the most talented person in the Sword Academy in recent decades.

In this city that belongs to warlocks, other professions are far from having an easy time, especially in the Adventurers' Academy, where all professions except warlocks are always overshadowed by them.

Of the seven current high-ranking fourth-tier individuals, four are from the Adventurers' Academy, and three of those four are warlocks. The only one who isn't is Gallo, who is currently on stage.

He was unwilling to accept it, unwilling to accept it.

He hesitated, looking at Vivian, his aged voice trembling:

"Lady Vivian, could you... could you please lend a hand and save Gallo? You know him, he's a genius, we can't afford to lose him, after all, he's one of our adventurers—"

“Robert.”

Vivian interrupted the old man, looking up at him with an undeniable air of authority that silenced him with a single glance:

“Gallo may be a genius, but Memphis was a genius back then. You know, a dead genius means nothing to Kanriel.”

"He has already brought shame to the Adventurers' Academy. I won't offend someone even more talented than him for the sake of a genius, do you understand?"

As Vivian finished speaking, the last glimmer of light disappeared from the old man's eyes. He seemed to have lost all his strength, his head bowed as he looked at Gallo's face on the screen, murmuring softly:

"Genius, genius, genius is the least valuable thing, don't blame the dean..."

But suddenly, as if he had seen something, his eyes lit up again:

"Your Excellency, Your Excellency, look quickly..."

Upon hearing this, Vivian stopped sipping her wine. She looked at the screen with some confusion, and then her aging eyes narrowed unusually.

On the screen, Lalan rode the giant hand, bypassing Hermes in mid-air and stepping directly onto the dueling platform.

"I'll fight you!"

Lalaan spoke, her long, flowing hair fluttering in the wind, her beautiful eyes filled with determination and a hint of anger:

"Since Gallo has already admitted defeat, why are you being so aggressive? Are you trying to slap the face of our Adventurers' Academy in public?"

"Our Adventurers' Academy in Kanriel isn't lacking in talent. Do you really think you can challenge our entire academy by yourself?"

Gallo's last words, "Representing the Adventurers' Academy," touched a nerve with Lalan. She wouldn't allow anyone to desecrate this sacred place in her heart, so she stepped forward.

The crowd below the stage discussed it.

Lala's words directly put Luo Xiu on the opposite side of the entire Adventurers' Academy.

Perhaps because Gallo created such a huge buzz at the beginning, many people are only now realizing that this was not just a personal duel.

It is the ultimate showdown between the students of the Adventurers' Academy and Master Tata.

So, who should we support? The Adventurers' Academy? After all, it's Kanriel's flagship institution, but Master Tata is also a respected figure among the people of Kanriel.

Everyone fell into thought, but Luo Xiu spoke up at this moment, chuckling:

"I am not strong enough to challenge the entire Adventurers' Academy."

Upon hearing this, Lalaan's expression relaxed somewhat, and a smile appeared on her face:

"Good to know—"

"But there is indeed no one among the younger generation of the Adventurers' Academy."

As soon as Luo Xiu finished speaking, Lala'an's pupils dilated. She saw Luo Xiu wielding his silver sword in the sunlight, like an ancient executioner, raising and lowering his sword.

Gallo's head flew off, his eyes wide open, filled with the joy of seeing Lala'an appear, and the disbelief and fear of seeing Luo Xiu wield his sword, as he ended his life.

The splattered blood, glistening and dazzling under the sunlight, resembled countless red agates, which, upon landing on Luo Xiu, transformed into delicate and vibrant flowers.

Luo Xiu's tall figure stood upright and stretched out in the bright sunlight, like the final judge, delivering the death sentence to Gallo.

He looked at Lala'an, a smile playing on his lips.

"Didn't you want to fight me? Now it's your turn."

After he finished speaking, the entire room fell silent.

The crowd below the stage was speechless, both shocked by Luo Xiu's towering, godlike figure and terrified by the fact that Gallo had died so suddenly.

"you you……"

Lala An gritted her teeth, both angry and annoyed.

She couldn't believe that Luo Xiu had killed Gallo right in front of her, especially after she had mentioned the Adventurers' Academy.

Her magical power surged, and a huge green-gold magic circle appeared in the air.

A terrifying aura permeated the air, as if an ancient wind was howling through the magic circle, accompanied by a thunderous roar. Another giant hand, similar in appearance to the one beneath her, slowly emerged from the magic circle.

However, compared to the giant hand beneath her, the newly appeared giant hand was even more ferocious in appearance.

Various colors of flesh and blood intertwine to form the basic structure of this giant hand. In those interconnected pits of flesh and blood, one can see fruit shells, beast tails, tentacles, and rusty weapons.

Seeing that the giant hand had already extended most of its way out of the magic circle, a look of confidence flashed in Lala'an's eyes. She had just observed the battle between Gallo and Luo Xiu and had figured out Luo Xiu's general idea.

Luo Xiu's offensive methods are primarily based on strength, and he possesses a very strong physique. In addition, he also has some kind of healing ability that can heal some superficial injuries.

She was confident in the giant hands she had created; if both giant hands appeared at the same time and she used her full strength, she would not lose to Luo Xiu.

The reason he was knocked away by Luo Xiu earlier was simply due to a moment of carelessness.

But the sound of wind in her ear made her pupils shrink suddenly.
