185: Chapter 185: Out of options, have they all defected to the enemy?

Swoosh!

Four arrows and Lin Mo were rushing toward each other.

In the blink of an eye, they were about to strike Lin Mo.

The corners of Duan Lei's mouth curled up slightly.

To become a standout in this year's batch, one could not be a pushover.

She had been observing Lin Mo's state from below.

Clearly, Lin Mo's speed was extremely fast, and his close-combat ability was beyond imagination.

There was only one way to defeat Lin Mo: kiting.

And now that Lin Mo had proactively rushed forward, he clearly did not understand her skills.

In such a high-speed state, Lin Mo had no way to adjust his center of gravity to dodge the arrows.

He could only be hit.

When that happened... it would be her show!

However, the next moment, Duan Lei's expression froze.

"This... how is this possible!"

The Lin Mo before her had suddenly extended his Eight Spider Lances from behind just as the arrows were about to strike!

That's right, it is indeed difficult to adjust one's center of gravity to dodge while at high speed.

But that was for the vast majority of people.

For Lin Mo, who was already proficient in using the Eight Spider Lances, this problem did not exist.

Following Lin Mo's will, the Eight Spider Lances tapped lightly on the ground, and the force transmitted was just enough to shift Lin Mo's center of gravity.

Relying on his extremely strong body control, Lin Mo forcibly twisted his muscles to turn his body at a bizarre angle.

Swish, swish, swish, swish!

The four arrows grazed past Lin Mo.

Yet, none of them managed to cause even the slightest bit of damage to Lin Mo.

Duan Lei's small mouth hung open in shock.

At the same time, Duan Lei was very clear: she had already lost.

Utilizing Lin Mo's lack of knowledge about her skills to apply a buff effect, and then kiting him crazily—this was the only method she could think of.

Since Lin Mo could avoid her attacks even in this situation, then even if she used her skills to flee, she would only be delaying the inevitable.

Duan Lei stood in place, lowered her longbow, and said seriously to the rapidly approaching Lin Mo, "I beg you, don't hit my face."

Duan Lei's words were still effective.

Lin Mo's punch abruptly changed direction in mid-air, shifting downward.

It was just that his punching speed was too fast.

The punch slammed heavily into Duan Lei's chest!

Duan Lei passed out instantly and was sent flying backward.

In the last second before losing consciousness, Duan Lei was full of regret.

If she had known, she would have just let him hit her face.

Lin Mo frowned slightly as he withdrew his fist.

It was a very strange sensation.

He couldn't help but take another look at Duan Lei, his gaze sweeping over her exaggerated chest.

Hmm, fake breasts...

The crowd was silent.

The older students looked at each other, not quite knowing how to wrap this up.

And Teacher Gu Chuan in mid-air widened his eyes even further.

This was the first time he had seen Lin Mo unleash his full power.

This speed.

This attack power.

And those wandering hands.

It was too terrifying!

Is this really a freshman?

Teacher Gu Chuan's brows furrowed tightly.

This wouldn't do.

These people were likely no match for this guy.

Only the top three might be able to put up a fight.

But to be honest, those with truly formidable strength didn't actually care about this rule.

The powerhouses in the top three would rather go out and grind for resources to improve their strength than scam points from newcomers.

Therefore, there were no top-three powerhouses in front of the arena.

Fortunately, someone was quite clever and shouted loudly at Lin Mo above the arena, "Wait, we have already contacted the top three."

"They will be here in five minutes at most!"

"I refuse to believe this today!"

Lin Mo frowned slightly, "I will only wait for two more minutes. If no one comes up, then I will trouble you all to return the points to the newcomers yourselves."

Gu Rongyu, standing below the arena, looked up at Lin Mo.

Her eyes were practically turning into stars.

For so many years, she had never felt that any man could bring her this kind of feeling of admiration.

However, upon hearing about the top three, Gu Rongyu suddenly remembered something.

A mysterious smile appeared on her face.

It wasn't just Gu Rongyu; the well-informed Song Cheng also couldn't help but chuckle at this moment.

Two minutes passed quickly.

Just as Lin Mo thought no one else would come up, a commotion broke out in the crowd.

"They're here, they're here!"

"The third-ranked big boss is here! Damn, beat that guy to a pulp!"

"Perfect, this guy specializes in attacks, he's running right into the big boss's line of fire!"

"Go get him, big boss!"

Lin Mo was a bit curious.

Was the third-ranked person someone who specialized in defense?

Just as Lin Mo was thinking this, the crowd voluntarily parted to create a gap, revealing a burly figure.

And after seeing the other person's appearance clearly, a look of surprise appeared on Lin Mo's face.

Because the person who walked out from the crowd was none other than the S-rank tank class, Armored Giant, Shi Lei.

The moment Shi Lei saw Lin Mo, a simple, honest smile immediately appeared on his face.

"Hehe! At first, I thought I had misheard."

"But as soon as I heard that a freshman had knocked out all the older students in our batch, I knew it had to be you!"

As Shi Lei said this, he jumped directly onto the arena and gave Lin Mo a bear hug!

This scene instantly left all the older students below dumbfounded.

Someone couldn't help but ask, "Brother... Brother Lei, aren't you here to stand up for us?"

"Aren't you going to fight this guy?"

Shi Lei pointed a finger at himself, looking completely bewildered.

"Me? Fight him?"

What a joke.

In Mist City, he had personally seen Lin Mo tear monsters apart right beside him.

The physical strength of those monsters was not much weaker than his own.

Although he specialized in defense, that was just a specialty; it didn't mean he didn't feel pain.

And he wasn't a masochist.

Why would he let Lin Mo beat him up?

Shi Lei shook his head like a rattle-drum, "I'm not fighting... I can't beat him, whoever wants to fight him can go ahead."

"Besides, with our relationship..."

Shi Lei reached out and threw his arm around Lin Mo's neck, "do we still need to brawl?"

The group of older students below were all in disbelief.

They had thought a savior had arrived.

Unexpectedly, the savior defected as soon as he got up there.

Just as they were gnashing their teeth, wanting to curse Shi Lei for being a traitor, a commotion broke out in the crowd once again.

"Holy shit, the second-ranked big boss is here too!"

"Hurry, make way for the big boss."

"This big boss has a much fiercer temper than Shi Lei!"

"He'll definitely teach him a harsh lesson later..."

Before they could finish speaking, Lin Mo heard a hearty laugh.

"Hahahaha, it really is you, Little Brother Lin."

Then, a figure jumped directly onto the arena.

Lin Mo's mouth twitched.

This person... was none other than Captain Luo Feng, the leader of the second squad from the last trial.

Upon coming up, Captain Luo Feng punched Lin Mo in the chest.

"You guy, why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming?"

"I was planning to treat you well."

Below the arena, everyone was silent.

No... even Captain Luo Feng, who was always known for his explosive temper, had defected?

What the hell is this?

Originally, all their hopes had rested on the top three.

The third and second had both defected directly?

Then what about the first?

Surely the first wouldn't also...
