Outside the ruins, the lords who had gathered around stared wide-eyed at the scene before them.
Without exception, they all believed that Su Bai was doomed to lose.
"Such invisibility techniques are truly divine!"
"Yes! Especially in one-on-one combat, he's incredibly strong!"
"Even the sounds come from all directions, making it impossible to track Ito Ken's whereabouts!"
"If it were a confined space, this Dragon Kingdom lord might have a chance to break the invisibility spell! But the space inside the ruins is so vast that he has no way to break it!"
"This young Chinese man is currently only able to passively take the beating; he can't do anything at all!"
"Baka! A mere lord of the Dragon Kingdom dares to challenge the lord of our Great Japanese Empire?"
"Even though defeat is inevitable, this Chinese man still dares to be stubborn!"
"It's clearly a losing situation, yet they remain so calm, even confident—it's utterly laughable!"
"This time, the Dragon Kingdom will probably lose all face!"
"Having been defeated by the Japanese lords time and again, it seems that the only powerful nation left to save this land is Japan!"
The lords who were watching not only began to laugh at Su Bai, but even started to mock the Dragon Kingdom.
As for the Dragon Kingdom lords present, they all lowered their heads, some not daring to look directly at the scene in the light and shadow before them.
After all, there were also many foreign lords watching.
If Su Bai fails, the Dragon Kingdom will lose all face.
"Damn it! Ito Ken's invisibility technique is flawless, so perfect! It's going to be incredibly difficult for Su Bai to break it with his skills!"
Zhao Ganwu clenched his fists, his palms sweating.
He understood that on the battlefield, such invisibility techniques might be easily overcome by a large army.
However, it's impossible for two people to break the code in a one-on-one fight!
“This time, Su Bai is probably going to lose…” Zhao Ganwu’s eyes were filled with regret.
Although he desperately hoped that Su Bai could defeat that Japanese lord.
However, the two sides are vastly different in terms of their apparent strength.
Winning is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
“Even if we lose, it doesn’t matter. Brother Su Bai, your courage is commendable!” Lei Heng’s eyes were burning. “No matter what, I will do my best to help him build these 10,000 suits of armor!”
...
at the same time.
Inside the ruins.
The arena.
Takeshi Ito's voice rang out again from all directions.
"Foolish Chinese!"
"That's simply overestimating themselves!"
Can you guess where I am?
"I'm telling you, I'm right behind one of those stone pillars!"
"I will strike you with my blade when you are most terrified!"
"You'll be caught off guard, and won't even have a chance to admit defeat!"
Mocking laughter echoed in Su Bai's ears.
It was quite obvious from this that Takeru Ito was confident of victory.
"Oh? Behind a certain stone pillar?"
Su Bai stood with his hands behind his back, his expression indifferent.
The Eye of Insight, now activated!
His purple pupils began to shimmer.
In my line of sight, the arena before me was shrouded in a faint silver light.
In front of a stone pillar to the right, a human figure is outlined, which is Ken Ito.
It is slowly moving forward, step by step.
So, you were here!
Su Bai chuckled inwardly.
That little devil is really dishonest.
They've already gone invisible, yet they still try to lie.
They were clearly in front of the stone pillar, but they said they were behind it.
"Come out now! Which stone pillar are you behind?"
Su Bai moved his feet, pretending not to notice, and began searching a stone pillar beside him.
Five seconds later.
Takeshi Ito is getting close.
With a murderous look on his face, he raised his katana, ready to slash at Su Bai.
Su Bai continued to pretend that he hadn't noticed.
He shouted in a panicked tone, "Since I can't find you, I'll bombard you relentlessly and attack every inch of this land!"
Immediately.
The right hand is loosely clenched.
The psionic orb rapidly condensed.
It seemed like a casual wave, but it directly pushed the object towards the direction from which Takeru Ito was attacking.
The next instant.
"boom!"
A violent explosion resounded throughout the entire arena.
The psionic orb struck Ken Ito precisely in the chest.
It knocked his body back several meters.
The intense energy fluctuations rendered Ken Ito's invisibility technique ineffective.
"you!"
Ken Ito clutched his charred chest and fell heavily to the ground, spitting out bright red blood.
"Am I that lucky? I can hit the target precisely with a casual strike?" Su Bai's voice deliberately carried a hint of surprise.
A hint of mockery crept into his gaze as he looked at Takeru Ito. "Looks like your luck isn't so good!"
"Damn it! How could this happen? I'm so unlucky!" Ken Ito stood up unsteadily, cursing under his breath.
Su Bai did not give him a chance to react.
He stomped his foot hard on the ground, using his spiritual energy to propel himself forward like an arrow.
He clenched his fist and threw a punch at Takeshi Ito.
"boom!"
Ito Ken had just stood still, his blood and energy still surging.
He was then punched by Su Bai, smashing into the stone pillar behind him and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
This punch was imbued with spiritual energy.
The injured Takeru Ito had no time to react and was unable to withstand the strain with his body.
"Little devil, it seems you're not convinced?"
"you--"
"Bang bang bang!"
Su Bai's fist tore through the air, transforming into countless fist shadows that enveloped Ito Ken.
A few breaths.
Kenichi Ito's head had already been beaten into a pig's head.
His face was covered in large red and swollen patches, with not a single undamaged area.
Without the Eye of Insight to know Ito Ken's exact location, this battle would be incredibly difficult.
With numerous stone pillars on the field, Takeru Ito can attack from any point, making it difficult for his opponents to dodge or defend.
Su Bai finally understood why Lei Heng and many other challengers had all been defeated before.
"stop……"
"I...I...I give up!"
Caught in Su Bai's barrage of punches, Ito Ken had no chance to fight back and hurriedly shouted that he was surrendering.
Their bodies were enveloped in a ball of light.
In an instant, a flash of light appeared.
The two left the ruins and appeared outside the site.
The stone gate, gleaming with a deep blue light, reappeared.
The bet, enveloped in a magical light, flew straight into Su Bai's arms.
"Brother Lei, I've won back what you lost!"
Su Bai smiled slightly, his face calm and composed. "Sorry to keep you waiting. The battle could have ended much sooner."
The battle ended dramatically and quickly.
The lords watching from the sidelines were immediately in an uproar.
Everyone gaped, their eyes filled with disbelief.
"What happened? How did the battle end so suddenly?"
"This is unbelievable! The one who won the duel was actually that young lord of the Dragon Kingdom?"
"Ito Ken's invisibility technique has always been effective, so why did it fail this time?"
"Yeah, that's really weird!"
"This lord of the Dragon Kingdom is incredibly lucky! A casual strike actually hit Ito Ken, who was in stealth mode!"
"Fuck, what kind of luck is this? I'm so envious I could cry!"
"Unexpectedly, Takeru Ito's winning streak has been ended just like that."
"And in such a dramatic way."
"Ito Ken is so unlucky! He was hit by that Chinese man's casual attack."
"It has to be said that luck is also a part of ability."
"However, Ito Ken was lucky this time! He didn't bet on the divine weapon, the Longquan Sword!"
The lords of the Dragon Kingdom were all greatly encouraged to see Ito Ken beaten into a pulp.
As for the many Japanese lords, they were all very frustrated and seemed somewhat disappointed.
"They won just like that? How is that possible?"
Lei Heng stared in disbelief, his eyes wide with disbelief.
He had considered countless possibilities for the outcome of this battle.
But no one expected that Su Bai would win by a large margin.
And they won so easily.
With a casual strike, he broke Ito Ken's invisibility technique.
"Of course! Dealing with a mere Japanese person won't be too much trouble at all."
Su Bai smiled slightly, his face completely calm.
"I just want to know, how exactly did you break Ito Ken's bizarre invisibility technique?" Lei Heng asked, his face full of doubt and his eyes filled with confusion.
After all, he had suffered quite a bit from this invisibility technique before.
Su Bai scratched his head and said with a smile, "Brother Lei, I was just lucky! I didn't expect that a casual strike would hit Ito Ken, who was in stealth mode."
"Such amazing luck!" Lei Heng exclaimed in surprise.
He couldn't help but sigh, "It's true what they say, comparisons are odious! I tried using area-of-effect attacks to break Ito Ken's invisibility technique, but it was completely useless! Yet your casual strike sealed the victory!"
Su Bai chuckled: "When fighting the Japanese devils, luck naturally comes into play!"
"My God! That casual strike of yours was incredibly powerful!" Zhao Ganwu was shocked, his face filled with astonishment.
"Luck! Luck!" Su Bai laughed loudly.
Of course, I can't tell anyone about the Eye of Insight.
Therefore, he had no choice but to tell a white lie to everyone.
"Brother Lei, I've won your things back for you! They're back to their rightful owner!"
Su Bai handed over the resources that Lei Heng had lost, along with the legendary forging hammer, to Lei Heng.
Lei Heng looked excited, and the corners of his mouth turned up in a smile.
"I really didn't expect that what I lost could come back to me!"
"You've really helped me a lot this time!"
"Furthermore, it dealt a heavy blow to the arrogance of the Japanese devils, which was truly satisfying!"
Su Bai waved his hand and said with a smile, "You flatter me! Striking down the Japanese lord is something I'd be very happy to do!"
"Now, the forging hammer and refined iron are all ready! I will forge the ten thousand suits of armor you need as soon as possible, according to the blueprints!"
Lei Heng appeared very energetic and spoke at a rapid pace.
Thank you!
Su Bai smiled slightly.
Beside him, Ito Ken, whose face was bruised and swollen, was finally healed by the jackal priest and transformed from a pig-faced mess back into a human-like appearance.
The charred wound on his chest was quickly healed.
"There's no time to lose. I'll return to my territory now and order my hero blacksmith to oversee his many high-ranking blacksmiths to begin forging the armor you need!" Lei Heng said.
"Brother Lei, the matter is settled. Let's return together!"
Su Bai took a step, about to turn and leave.
Just then.
Suddenly, Ito Ken's sharp voice rang out.
"Wait, don't go!"
Su Bai stopped in his tracks, looked at Ito Ken, and sneered, "What? You can't beat them in the arena, so you want to steal their thunder?"
Even though Kenichi Ito has over ten thousand high-ranking gnoll soldiers behind him.
But the 100,000 strange dragons are not far from this place.
If the situation changes, they can arrive in an instant.
Therefore, Su Bai felt no fear whatsoever.
"How could the lord of the Great Japanese Empire go back on his word!" Ito Ken looked around at the many lords on the field, then looked at Su Bai: "I feel that the last battle was not enough, and I would like to fight you again."
“However, you need to wager that Dark Heart!” Ken Ito added.
"Not interested!"
Su Bai turned around without looking back.
"Wait! This time, I'm using the divine weapon, the Longquan Sword, as the wager. Aren't you tempted?" Ito Ken seemed a little anxious, saying repeatedly, "This is a divine weapon! It's extremely precious!"
“He’s right! This sword is indeed extremely precious!” Lei Heng looked at Su Bai. “Although it’s a damaged divine artifact, once repaired, its power will be boundless!”
Upon hearing this, Su Bai stopped in his tracks, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
The power of the divine weapon far surpasses that of ordinary weapons.
The boost to individual combat power is considerable.
Currently, with the dual blessing of the Lord's Mark and psionic power, Su Bai's physical attributes and combat strength have been greatly enhanced.
But they didn't have a single suitable weapon.
This Longquan sword might be useful.
"A damaged divine artifact?" Zhao Ganwu frowned slightly.
“That’s right!” Lei Heng replied, “If it were a fully-fledged divine artifact, Ito Ken would never have used it as a wager! But even a damaged divine artifact should not be underestimated!”
"So? Will you accept?" Ken Ito raised his voice, a hint of provocation in his tone: "Last time, you beat me with luck? This time, are you chickening out and too scared to accept the challenge?"
"Let's fight!"
As Su Bai opened and closed his eyes, a powerful aura of authority emanated from him: "The word 'fear' has never existed in my dictionary, especially not when facing the Japanese!"
"Yoshi! You Chinese have commendable courage! This time, I will use my true strength to crush your so-called luck!" Ito Ken said arrogantly, his face full of confidence.
He believed that Su Bai was just lucky last time, and that he had been too careless.
Luck is something that can never be truly understood.
As long as we are careful and cautious, we will surely win a great victory and defeat this arrogant Chinese!
The lords watching from the sidelines erupted in discussion once again.
"This lord of the Dragon Kingdom is simply audacious!"
"Last time, I beat Takeru Ito by luck! But how can luck be so good every time?"
"It was a lucky strike, a blind cat stumbling upon a dead mouse, that's how I won!"
"Just watch! This time, the Chinese will surely be defeated!"
"Ito Ken once again pressed the Longquan sword, which shows that he believes he will win this battle!"
"This Chinese man could not possibly have been lucky enough to break Ito Ken's invisibility technique twice in a row!"
