Chapter 47

Bai Tingxuan also learned about Ke'er's situation. In the end, the four members of the Thorn Rose team gathered at the arena together.

Since Moli Hua Kai was currently in a gladiatorial match, they had to wait for her match to end before Sun Ran could challenge her. So, they sat in the grandstand to watch Moli Hua Kai's match.

The virtual grand arena was packed, and more people kept appearing out of nowhere to watch the match, causing the grandstand to expand repeatedly. In modern society, there was no survival pressure; one could live without working, so there were many idle people who enjoyed watching the spectacle.

Most of the participants in the gladiatorial matches were Maintainers or those aspiring to become Maintainers. Besides those who came purely for entertainment, there were also scouts.

Most of these scouts belonged to game companies or established Maintainer teams, looking for talent. A few were even Destroyers, whose purposes were similar to the above. Destroyers are also people; to develop and make big money, they needed a large number of highly skilled bad guys.

Therefore, this arena was also a stage for Maintainers to showcase themselves. The battles inside were usually fought with all their might.

In the arena, the female illusionist looked young, about the same age as Ke'er, around seventeen or eighteen, and her identity was displayed as a Black Iron-level Maintainer.

Her opponent was a Black Iron-level werewolf warrior.

"An illusionist who can't even lift a chicken dares to fight a werewolf. This guy is getting more and more arrogant," Ke'er said, wrinkling her nose in dissatisfaction.

Lan Xin pulled up Moli Hua Kai's record and said fairly, "She has already defeated a vampire. She does have the strength."

As they spoke, the battle in the arena began.

The battlefield was a bustling modern pedestrian street, one hundred meters long, with no alleys.

The street was crowded and lively. Moli Hua Kai and the werewolf were randomly teleported to one corner of the street, knowing each other's appearances but not their exact locations.

The werewolf warrior, with his strong and domineering body, started the fight without hesitation, searching for his opponent directly on the street.

Moli Hua Kai, naturally, used her old tricks. She first became invisible, and every twenty meters or so, her body would slightly blur, creating an identical illusion of herself. These illusions were also invisible but would make faint footsteps as they walked, deliberately leaving traces for the opponent to discover.

She managed to set up fifteen identical invisible illusions on a three-hundred-meter street.

Finally, she became invisible again and stole a large bouquet of roses from a roadside flower shop. She then appeared, changed her appearance, and transformed into an ordinary girl selling roses on the street, as the scene was set on Valentine's Day.

Seeing these familiar moves, Sun Ran's heart stirred. Could this be the Moli he knew from the Dragon Era?

It could be a coincidence. Although Moli Hua Kai's face resembled Moli's, in the virtual world, appearances could have some discrepancies. Sun Ran couldn't be sure, so he observed quietly.

The werewolf had very sensitive senses and quickly discovered the existence of the invisible illusions through the slight distortion of light. His response was simple: he pulled out a dagger and attacked every invisible person he saw, regardless of whether they were real or not.

There were fifteen invisible illusions on the street, and he found one every five minutes on average.

"Roses, roses! Handsome guy, do you want some roses?" Moli Hua Kai kept shouting, selling several roses along the way.

During this process, the werewolf passed by her several times but never suspected her.

He thought that an illusionist, who couldn't even lift a chicken, would definitely be invisible or hiding in the crowd, not shouting to draw attention.

Again, the werewolf passed by the flower girl. A young couple happened to be walking behind him. Moli Hua Kai called out to the couple, smiling, "Handsome guy, buy a bouquet for your girlfriend?"

The werewolf, of course, noticed the commotion behind him but paid no attention. He had already identified the flower girl as an ordinary person.

At that moment, a faint black light appeared in Moli Hua Kai's palm, and a miniature pistol materialized out of nowhere.

This was a weapon summoning spell, at least level two, which she used very skillfully, with a summoning time of just 0.5 seconds.

This spell for summoning modern weapons was designed to overcome the limitations of technology skills, which required various industrial foundations. However, technological products were very complex, so the spell could only summon simple technological creations. If there were too many parts, the spell's rune array would become extremely complex, making the casting very difficult.

The pistol was hidden under the bouquet of roses, aimed at the werewolf's back, three meters away, and fired six shots in quick succession.

At such a close distance, no aiming was needed, and all the bullets hit the werewolf. The at least level two attack bullets easily shattered the werewolf's heart.

Without a heart, the werewolf's strong body was useless. He let out a惨call and fell forward, defeated.

The entire process was a battle of wits, and the audience was convinced by Moli Hua Kai's clever use of illusions.

Ke'er said nothing. Although she had been defeated by the opponent, she had to admit that the opponent was indeed more skilled. The illusions were flawless, and she couldn't find any weaknesses.

In this low-level arena, where most participants were Black Iron-level, Moli Hua Kai's skills were likely unmatched.

After Moli Hua Kai's match, she rested for ten minutes, and it was Sun Ran's turn.

The battle screen displayed: Black Iron-level Destruction Mage Rose Tree vs. Black Iron-level Illusionist Moli Hua Kai.

Currently, all the external skills Sun Ran had were Western spells, so he was nominally a Destruction Mage.

"A Black Iron-level Destruction Mage? He's probably going to be played to death," said Audience Member A.

"A mage against a mage, shouldn't it be less terrible?" asked Audience Member B.

"The spells of a Destruction Mage are powerful, but they focus on attack. Their brains are one-track, how could they find an illusionist? They are weak in body and will definitely be killed by Moli Hua Kai's gun," said Audience Member A confidently.

The Thorn Rose team heard this and glared at the two audience members. If Sun Ran's brain was one-track, then the others had no brains at all.

Sun Ran smiled, not taking it to heart, and his body became ethereal as he was teleported into the arena.

This time, the scene was still a street, but it was an ancient Chinese market, one hundred meters long, with patrolling guards.

As soon as Sun Ran entered the arena, he did nothing but walked from one end of the street to the other, observing left and right. He also felt an invisible person pass by him but remained indifferent.

The one-hundred-meter street was quickly walked through. Sun Ran stood still for a moment, seemingly in deep thought, and then started walking back from the other end.

"What is he doing?" Ke'er was puzzled.

As an audience member, she saw clearly that this time, Moli Hua Kai was disguised as a village woman shopping, and she had even passed by him once.

"He is observing, don't worry," said Lan Xin confidently.

Bai Tingxuan whispered, "He won't lose, don't worry."

After obtaining the Longevity Formula, she had been deeply pondering her new powers. The deeper she delved, the more she found the technique mysterious. The more she understood Sun Ran's strength, the more curious she became.

She didn't believe that an unknown Pengzu could be so powerful. Intuitively, Bai Tingxuan felt that Sun Ran must have played some even more powerful roles in the past.
