Chapter 50

The power of technology is immense, and the attack strength of most high-powered weapons can easily break through level three. The Metal Tide's Vulcan cannon is a prime example. Each bullet it fires has a level three attack power, and its astonishing rate of fire can steadily shoot 6,000 rounds per minute, reaching a brutal and savage extreme.

As the bullets swept towards Sun Ran, he remained standing in place, making the audience break out in a cold sweat for him.

"Why isn't my husband dodging?" Ke'er looked puzzled and worried.

"Probably scared, thinking of giving up and retreating directly." This was said by a spectator nearby.

Metal Tide's smile grew more sinister. He enjoyed such a straightforward and decisive victory.

At that moment, Sun Ran moved. His eyes suddenly emitted a dazzling silver light, and he abruptly extended his hand in front of him, unleashing his mental shield with all his might.

Almost as soon as the shield appeared, a massive barrage of bullets swept in. But once they entered the stagnant mental space, the suddenly increased flight resistance altered their direction, scattering them in all directions, and not a single bullet hit Sun Ran's body.

From a distance, it looked like a river of metal, composed of bright lines drawn by tracer bullets, suddenly encountered an unshakable pillar and had to helplessly detour.

Sun Ran did not remain stationary. He extended his hand to block in front of him and began to step forward, first walking quickly, then jogging, and finally sprinting.

Along the way, he disrupted the bullet trajectories, making it look as if he was forcefully pushing the bullet storm back.

These bullets flew in all directions, shattering the facades of the pedestrian street, the exhibition glass on the first floor, the streetlights, and tearing apart the bodies of virtual pedestrians, turning everything on the road into ruins, but they were helpless against Sun Ran.

Metal Tide's strategy relied on the high-power characteristics of technology to sweep everything away. Although he was just an amateur ordinary competitive player, even a Bronze Order Maintainer would find it very challenging. But now, the violent Metal Tide had met an even more violent Destruction Mage, and the scene became explosively intense.

"Damn, this Rose Tree is such a powerful mage!" Someone couldn't help but exclaim.

"What skill is this? It's so cool, I want to learn it too!" This was a delinquent girl with silver metal rings all over her body. She was a die-hard fan of Metal Tide but had switched sides halfway through.

Two black-clothed people watching from a corner had their mouths slightly open, clearly surprised by the situation.

"You were wrong; he didn't even try to outmaneuver his opponent," the younger one said, his tone filled with surprise.

"You're even more off. This time, you're going to lose."

Seeing his opponent step closer, Metal Tide, the tough guy, finally lost his composure. The cigar in the corner of his mouth had already fallen to the ground at some point.

Seeing the Vulcan cannon was useless, he activated another ring on his hand, and the Vulcan cannon disappeared, replaced by an exaggerated-looking sniper rifle. No, looking at the caliber that could fit a large sausage, it could be called a sniper cannon.

Metal Tide was an expert with guns, and the sniper cannon was no exception. He aimed at his opponent's chest and fired within 0.1 seconds, the powerful recoil making him grunt.

Sun Ran was prepared. He swung his staff, and the ice shield, which he had been holding back, appeared, blocking the bullet's path. With a 'crack,' the thick ice shield took the hit, cracking and disappearing. The bullet continued forward but lost most of its force and was deflected by Sun Ran's mental shield.

Taking advantage of this moment, Sun Ran regained the initiative and began his counterattack. An ice spiral blade whistled out, slicing towards his opponent.

Metal Tide, indeed a gun expert, saw the ice spiral blade coming and raised the sniper cannon, firing another shot. The ice spiral blade shattered into ice fragments with a 'crack.'

But as one ice spiral blade was hit, another appeared, forcing Metal Tide to continue firing to shatter the ice. After three shots, Metal Tide clearly felt his disadvantage.

The rhythm of the battle was completely controlled by the opponent, and he was being led around. This couldn't continue. Metal Tide tried to turn the tide. After shattering another ice spiral blade, a light flashed on his hand, and the sniper cannon disappeared, replaced by an RPG that could fire indefinitely.

With a 'whoosh,' a rocket-propelled grenade flew out, heading towards his opponent, who was now less than eighty meters away.

This was a desperate tactic. Sun Ran's ice spiral blade could hit him, but his missile could also blow the opponent to pieces.

Sun Ran smiled and switched to a level zero ice spike spell, intercepting the grenade's flight path and easily detonating it with the spell's impact.

The level zero spell easily overcame the rocket grenade, which had a power close to level two, exposing the uncontrollable nature of technology.

With a 'boom,' a fireball exploded between the two, the sound deafening and extremely shocking.

Then, Metal Tide fired again, and Sun Ran continued to detonate the grenades and advance.

To the audience, it looked like Sun Ran was using the mage's spells to directly confront the power of technology. In the public's mind, spells belonged to personal power, while technology was overwhelmingly strong and beyond human resistance. But now, Sun Ran's battle completely overturned this perception, making everyone's blood boil.

"I feel like Metal Tide is going to lose this time," someone said with the benefit of hindsight.

"Of course, he's being pinned down and beaten!"

"Who is this mage? How can he be so powerful? I've never heard of him before."

"Didn't you see the Thorn Rose emblem? He's an Order Maintainer. Ah, the experts among Order Maintainers are so low-key. You don't know until you fight them, and then you're shocked."

In two minutes, Sun Ran had already clashed with Metal Tide over thirty times and was now thirty meters away. His powerful aura forced Metal Tide to sweat profusely, his frog glasses falling off, but his eyes were filled with intense excitement.

Finally, I've met a true expert, he thought.

He became even more excited. At this point, the opponent was too close, and he had no time to switch weapons. Helplessly, he ran towards the mall, hoping to use the buildings for cover and get a chance to catch his breath.

As he made this move, he sighed inwardly, damn, in the past, I always forced others to dodge, but now it's the other way around. I'm not used to this.

Sun Ran didn't stop him and let him run into the mall.

Then, he swung his staff, and a bright yellow fireball nearly a meter in diameter shot out, following Metal Tide into the mall.

Level three spell: Flame Burst. Sun Ran used a delayed casting technique to fire ten Flame Bursts together, making the power almost reach level four.

Let the power of fire burn and unleash itself!

With a terrifying 'boom,' the entire mall shook, and a concentrated stream of flames poured out from the first floor like a flood, terrifying in the extreme. The steel bars inside the mall quickly turned red, softened, and lost their support, causing the entire mall to collapse, turning into a pile of ruins.

The audience was stunned into silence by the power of this super spell. Most of them watched low-level battles, as high-level ones required credit points. Here, level four spells were extremely rare, and now someone had used one, leaving everyone speechless.

A large mall, destroyed in one hit. The outcome for Metal Tide, who had rushed into the mall, was obvious.

In the sky, a line of large white clouds formed: Rose Tree, Victory!

Sun Ran laughed heartily. The feeling of a violent battle was so good, his blood boiling, his mind clear and comfortable. Occasionally experiencing this was very pleasant.

The audience, as if thawed by his laughter, suddenly erupted in thunderous cheers, celebrating the intense and shocking battle this mage had delivered.

In the stands, the older black-clothed person smiled and said, "I didn't expect such a big gain today. Our Confucian world has just encountered a tricky matter, and it seems someone has been chosen."
