The noise around her grew increasingly louder, making her feel dizzy.

The muscular man frowned when he saw that his opponent was such a thin little girl, then smiled.

"As expected of a beginner's field, there are even little girls who haven't even grown their first hair yet."

"It's like a pie falling from the sky," Lin Xi chuckled.

This look seemed somewhat provocative to the muscular man, who suppressed his smile and said, "I hope I'll still see this stubborn look on your face in twenty minutes."

After saying that, he exerted a little force, and his muscles grew a little larger. With a flick of his wrists, his arms turned into cold, hard metal, and when he clenched his fists, they became two seven-inch-long steel knives.

The audience erupted in excitement.

A man suddenly stood up, grabbed the railing in front of him, and looked into the arena. "Damn! It's a metal-type ability!"

Is this reinforcement or control?

He turned his head and raised his voice several decibels, "No way, bro? This is clearly a full-on assault!"

On the other side, an older man shook his head. "My God, this little girl is probably going to die a terrible death. What a pity."

The person behind him joked, "Hey, old man, haven't you seen enough beautiful women?"

The middle-aged man got angry and retorted, "I just thought it was a pity because she's still young, about the same age as my son! What kind of filthy thoughts are you having?"

The people behind immediately fell silent.

Lin Xi's expression wasn't good either, which everyone perceived as stage fright and fear.

"It's too late to know now. Unless you have the privilege of admitting defeat, you're doomed."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jin, who was watching from the top, couldn't help but look at Jiang Chuan. "Admitting defeat requires special privileges? What kind of strange rule is this?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head, but remained calm. "What does it have to do with me? Anyway, I'm not the one who will lose."

Chen Jin was speechless for a moment.

He glanced up casually and tugged at Jiang Chuan, "Why is the name on the screen Lin Xi?"

That's her real name.

"Huh? I didn't even know you found out?"

"Not much earlier than you."

Just as the muscular man opposite her was feeling smug, Lin Xi shook her head again, wondering to herself what kind of ill-fated relationship she had with the metal-type superpower.

The first person she encountered was someone who was hunting her down. The second person was Chen Jin, who was alright, but he was a bit indecisive. The third person she encountered was the biggest obstacle she faced in the Wind Eagle Gang. The fourth person was someone she faced in a life-or-death situation.

However, Lin Xi asked curiously about his mention of the privilege of admitting defeat, "Do you have the privilege of admitting defeat?"

"Even if I had one, I probably wouldn't need it," the muscular man said with a sly smile.

"Knowing it's a life-or-death situation, why come here? Is earning a cloud pearl really that important?"

"Are you stalling for time?" The muscular man felt he had seen through her scheme and didn't respond to her words at all.

Discontent began to rise in the audience.

"Weren't they supposed to be fighting and dueling? Why are they chatting like this?"

"Can't you do something about this?"

"..."

"Stop talking nonsense, little girl, it's useless." The muscular man crossed his arms, and the sound of two seven-inch steel knives rubbing together was sharp and piercing, occasionally sparking a few grains of sand.

The audience on stage was then calmed down.

Lin Xi thought for a moment and realized that the metal element, being the strongest of the five elements, would be an excellent sparring partner for him.

"Alright, I'll play with you for a bit."

The muscular man frowned. "Aren't you afraid of biting off more than you can chew?"

After saying that, he rushed over and launched the first attack.

When the metal arm came at him, the arm, which was originally smooth, was covered with dense spikes shaped like shark teeth. Lin Xi, who was about to use his elbow to block the arm, suddenly pulled back his movement.

"Judging from this, Lin Xi won't be easy to beat." Chen Jin, leaning on the railing, naturally changed his tune.

As the battle raged on the battlefield, even breathing slowed down. "This person, like me, also possesses metal-type abilities. Lin Xi has no way to block his arm. Fighting him in close combat is a huge disadvantage. If it were you, it would be much easier."

Jiang Chuan frowned as he saw the metal still growing on the person below the stage. "It seems that this person's unusual appearance will be strengthened as the battle goes on. If the battle goes on long enough, even metal-based enhancements will probably cause injuries."

Lin Xi naturally noticed this problem as well, and quickly retreated a few meters away before beginning to observe the physical characteristics of the person in front of her.

Apart from his two arms being metallized, there were no other obvious changes to his body.

This shows that avoiding his arms still has a high chance of injuring him.

It sounds simple, but the arms are the most flexible part of a person's body, capable of both offense and defense. The person opposite you isn't an idiot; why would they so easily raise their arms to let you hit them?

Just as the atmosphere in the arena was tense, Jiang Chuan said again, "This person concentrates all his physical strength in his arms. After his arms are metallized, his body becomes a little cumbersome, and his movements in battle will be slower than those of ordinary people. This is quite a coincidence. Lin Xi's greatest advantage in close combat is his terrifying speed, which is comparable to or even better than that of a mid-level zombie."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Xi had successfully circled behind the muscular man and landed a punch on his thick back.

People in the audience couldn't help but laugh at her actions, saying that such a small fist would probably only tickle a muscular man.

What happened next was completely unexpected.

Lin Xi's seemingly frail fist actually possessed immense power, instantly sending the muscular man flying.

"Wow!" The audience gasped in surprise.

"So Lin Xi will win this match again, right?"

“Any ability user below level five poses no threat to her. This person is only level four. Don’t forget, during training, Yun said she was a very troublesome opponent.”

Chen Jin slapped the glass railing. "Then why were you looking so serious just now?"

Jiang Chuan withdrew his hand. "I just think this person's special ability is a bit interesting."

The muscular man who was knocked away quickly recovered and used the metal spikes on his arms to cushion the impact by digging them into the ground. A few seconds later, he successfully stopped.

At this moment, a scratch three inches deep and ten meters long appeared on the ground.

"This is interesting." He sat up and looked up at the little girl in front of him who was pretending to be weak but actually being strong.

Lin Xi had no idea what he was thinking. If she did, she probably would have rolled her eyes.

She never pretended to be weak to deceive others; from the beginning, she made it clear that it was just a game.

Lin Xi didn't intend to give him time to recover and rushed to his side.

Realizing something was wrong, the muscular man raised his arms to block again, but Lin Xi's fist stopped between his arms and he quickly kicked him in the stomach.

Having learned from his previous experience, the muscular man plunged one of his hands into the ground to avoid being knocked away again, and then, taking advantage of Lin Xi's inattention, stabbed her in the heart with the other hand.

With victory in sight, he smiled smugly.
