Chapter 39 Battle on the Exhibition Stand

"Here you go."

Zhang Xiaoyuan thought for a moment, exhaled a breath, and patted Ishida on the shoulder.

"Hmm? I'm... full of power now?"

Ishida was puzzled. He punched the air twice, but nothing seemed to happen.

However, when he saw Zhang Xiaoyuan's barely suppressed smile, he immediately realized he had been tricked.

"..."

"Don't overthink it. Just go up there and do your best. Treat it as a friendly competition with others. There are so many people here who are higher level than you, so don't even think about becoming the champion," Ci Nianyun reminded her.

"Haha, that's true. Not to mention Yuan-ge, I can't even beat you, Captain." Ishida chuckled sheepishly.

"Hmm? If you want to hit me, we can find a time." Ci Nianyun raised her eyebrows, a half-smile on her face.

"No, no, I was just saying it offhand. How could I dare to lay a hand on you, Captain?" Ishida said with a forced smile.

Soon, Hou Mu came down, and Ishida took the stage. His opponent was also a human.

The alien race brought Ishida a kitchen knife made of cold iron. It would not destroy the original flavor of the food when cooking and would also keep the food fresh.

"What a fine knife! I wish you could give it to me for free."

Ishida cherished it, gently stroking it, but unfortunately, he would have to return it after the battle was over.

"Victory will surely be mine!"

The person opposite spoke, exerting force from his palm. Five flames emerged from the red ring on his index finger, transforming into five fire snakes.

“A basic fire ring, crafted by goblins, capable of unleashing five times its own fire power,” Pina explained from the side.

"Oh, and of course, we also have kitchen knives made with a new process, incorporating newly discovered meteorite materials. Limited quantities available, first come, first served!"

"Tch, five little snakes? I'll use you to consecrate my new kitchen knife!"

Ishida held an earthen shield in one hand and wielded a kitchen knife in the other.

The cleaver spun nimbly in his hand, occasionally slicing out yellowish-brown blades of light, causing the five fire snakes to hiss in pain and their flames to diminish considerably.

"Little fire snake, become my dish!"

Ishida let out a strange cry, and with a series of swift movements, the heads of five fire snakes were severed. The remains of the fire snakes twitched a few times before going out.

"No! How is this possible?!" Ishida's opponent was incredulous and tried to exert more force, but it was too late to change the outcome. He was knocked to the ground by Ishida's shield.

"I won!"

Ishida smiled smugly and stepped off the stage.

However, when the kitchen knife was taken away, Ishida's face immediately fell.

"Hey, buddy, how much is this kitchen knife? Sell it to me."

The foreigners looked rather grim. If you can't speak, then don't; nobody will think you're mute.

"Not expensive, 50 silver coins."

"..."

Ishida glanced at his backpack and fell silent.

After buying the resurrection potion, he also bought some seasonings unique to this world. He didn't have many silver coins to begin with, and now he only had one left.

Seeing that Ishida didn't speak again, the alien gave Ishida a disdainful look, muttered "poor bastard" indifferently, and left.

"You, what did you say?!"

Ishida wanted to go up and argue, but Zhang Xiaoyuan grabbed him.

"Brother Yuan, you stopped me because you can't bear to see me miss out on my beloved knife and want to lend me money, right?"

Ishida's eyes lit up when he thought of the many silver coins Zhang Xiaoyuan had. If he lent him the money, it would be enough for him to buy a cold iron kitchen knife.

As a result, what Ishida received was Zhang Xiaoyuan's reply: "There are kitchen knives everywhere, the next one will be better."

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Ishida felt terrible and squatted on the ground drawing circles by himself.

The battle on the field continued, and each human player possessed different divinely bestowed abilities, presenting different experiences to the audience.

Soon, it was Ci Nianyun's turn to take the stage.

"Go, Captain!"

Hou Mu and Shi Tian cheered each other on.

Zhang Xiaoyuan also gave Ci Nianyun a rare look of approval.

After all, he had witnessed Ci Nianyun's true strength. Although he appeared to be only level 12, he possessed powerful burst skills that could kill even level 15 magical beasts. He was certain to win.

"Look."

With full confidence, Ci Nianyun walked onto the stage and accepted the spear handed to her by the foreign tribe.

It was a long spear made entirely of silver, with a bluish-green beast core embedded in the shaft, emanating a faint chill.

“Silver Spear – Frostwind, forged by a goblin master, is inlaid with the core of a magical beast with both ice and wind attributes. It can increase the user's attack power by 20 points and has a certain chance to trigger a piercing effect,” Pina explained.

"What a pretty girl, I like her. How about being my girlfriend? Maybe I'll surrender and let you advance."

Opposite Ci Nianyun, a burly man with a stubble beard and a machete in hand spoke up, sizing Ci Nianyun up with a smile.

"Pah! Look at yourself! We're all 18, but you look at least 28! You want to like the captain? You don't deserve it!"

From below the stage, Ishida began to berate the burly man.

"Shut up! I just look older than my age. If you, you annoying fly, dare to say another word, I promise I'll beat you to a pulp on stage!"

The burly man threatened menacingly.

"Hmph, do you dare come down? If you do, I'll beat you into a pig's head, so badly that even your own mother wouldn't recognize you!" Ishida yelled.

"court death!"

The burly man roared and was about to swing his knife at Ishida.

"Leaving the booth signifies conceding defeat. Participants should make their choices carefully," Pina said, frowning.

"Hmph, I'll deal with you after I conquer this pretty girl!"

The burly man glared coldly at Ishida, then turned to look at Ci Nianyun.

"Little sister, if you don't admit defeat, I won't be polite."

The burly man brandished his large machete, and the bones in his limbs cracked and popped as he twisted them.

"Humph!"

Ci Nianyun remained silent, but her eyes turned cold.

Some crazy talk comes at a price!

call!

A sudden gust of cold wind appeared on the exhibition stand, mixed with snowflakes, bringing a chill to the air.

"Wow, I didn't expect this player to be able to summon snow and wind on their first use of Cold Wind. Truly a masterpiece of the goblin master!"

Pina, her eyes shining, provided commentary from the side.

"Heh, fancy attacks only tickle me."

The burly man licked his lips and brandished his broadsword at Ci Nianyun.

Chi!

A flash of cold light, and the audience below heard a whoosh. In the blink of an eye, they saw the burly man clutching his stomach and collapsing to the ground, letting out a painful scream.

Ci Nianyun's figure appeared behind the burly man at some point.

"what--"

"Huh? What happened? Why are you clutching your stomach and yelling?"

"He must have eaten something bad, huh? He obviously didn't eat at my Crocodile Noodle Shop. If he does, I guarantee he'll be in great shape!"

"Tsk, the human body is so inferior!"

"But when did this human go there? How come I didn't notice? That's strange."

……

"May compassionate thoughts prevail!"

On the stage, Pina announced Ci Nianyun's victory, while people from the Fuyou tribe carried the strong man off and handed him over to their teammates.

During this time, Pina also got a good look at the strong man's wounds.

There was a fist-sized hole in the burly man's abdomen, transparent from front to back, emitting a faint chill that froze the flesh around the hole stiff. This was why the burly man did not bleed when he was injured and fell to the ground.

"I didn't expect this human to be able to launch such an attack. I underestimated her."

Pina gave Ci Nianyun a deep look and silently made a mental note of it.

"Captain, you're too strong! You actually killed someone who was 3 levels higher than you in an instant."

Ishida excitedly waved his fist.

"That guy had such a foul mouth, I didn't want to be on the same stage as him for even a second, so I just picked him up immediately."

Ci Nianyun waved her hand and smiled faintly, but her eyes secretly glanced at Zhang Xiaoyuan.
