At once, the entire crowd's attention focused on Lin Mo's clone, Mo.
No one realized this was a clone.
In the eyes of everyone around, this was just a level 51 assassin player.
At this moment, Gao Han glanced at Mo.
He asked the leaders of the surrounding teams, "Whose subordinate is this?"
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at each other.
"Old Li, one of your people?"
"No. Nobody like this in my team."
"Never seen this guy before. New recruit maybe?"
Director Zhang did notice that this was the newcomer who had just joined his Qingfeng Squad, but he kept silent.
Looking at Mo, he secretly thought, 'Young people really love showing off, huh? Then go ahead.'
'If you lose, I'll pretend I don't know you and kick you out while I'm at it. I already didn't like you anyway. That way, Qingfeng won't lose face either.'
'Taking ten thousand steps back, if you somehow really beat Ironblood Ruthless, then I'll claim you afterward and say you're from Qingfeng. At that point, I'll get both fame and benefits.'
Thinking this, Director Zhang shook his head again and sighed, 'I really dare to imagine things. So many top experts couldn't beat Ironblood Ruthless. This guy can beat him?'
At the same time, the attitudes of the surrounding Golden Age Guild players also shifted from confusion to doubt, "So many of our experts already went up and none of them could even touch Ironblood Ruthless. That was embarrassing enough already. Stop making Golden Age Guild lose more face."
"Yeah. It'd be another matter if this guy actually had some impressive skill. The key point is he doesn't even look special. Looks completely ordinary. He's probably not even as good as me. Going up there is just feeding."
"The main thing is we don't even know whether this guy belongs to Golden Age or not. Where did this person even come from? He's probably here to disgrace Golden Age."
Faced with everyone's insults, Gao Han did not stand on the same side as them. He only asked Mo one question, "Do you still want to go up?"
The clone received Lin Mo's remote command and quickly replied, "Is President Gao willing to give me this chance?"
At that instant, a memory fragment suddenly flashed through Gao Han's mind...
("You still want to persist?")
("Wenwen, are you willing to give me this chance?")
("Fine, I'll give you a chance! But whether you can seize it depends on yourself.")
Gao Han's eyes reddened as he came back to his senses.
At this moment, he seemed to see his former self in this young assassin before him.
"Fine, I'll give you a chance. But whether you can seize it depends on yourself."
"Heroes aren't judged by where they come from. As long as you can defeat Ironblood Ruthless and take the arena for me, I definitely won't treat you unfairly."
The next moment, Lin Mo remotely controlled the clone and entered the beginner arena.
———
At the same time, on the arena stage—
When Ironblood Ruthless saw his opponent this time, he was still full of confidence.
In his eyes, within the entire Inferno City, there was only one opponent he truly feared.
"As long as it's not Rulebound, no matter who comes, I have over ninety percent confidence."
Clearly, the battle at the Demon Domain Slaughter Arena outside the Demon Palace dungeon last time had left a shadow in Ironblood Ruthless's heart.
So right now, as long as the challenger was not Lin Mo, he had complete confidence.
As the match entered the five-second countdown, the audience around the arena started discussing again, "Looks like Golden Age Guild really has reached the end of the road. They just sent a girl up there to get humiliated, and now they send this random assassin up too. Seriously, anyone can become Brother Ruthless's opponent now?"
"Well, Golden Age Group builds houses in real life. They're not professional gamers. How good do you expect a bunch of construction workers to be at games?"
"Then they should at least know their limits! If they didn't want embarrassment, they shouldn't have come to challenge the undead arena."
Under everyone's attention, as the countdown ended...
[Ding~ Challenge match begins!]
Right as the system prompt fell, ironblood Ruthless repeated the same tactic and directly opened with his ultimate skill.
Soul Suppression!
Whoosh!
A silver-gray beam descended from the sky and enveloped Mo, making him unable to move.
The next moment, under Ironblood Ruthless's command, the elite pet snow wolf rushed toward Mo.
"Holy shit! This guy doesn't even know to summon his pet? I thought he could at least last two seconds. Looks like I overestimated him in the end."
"What difference does summoning a pet make? Wouldn't he still get controlled anyway?"
"Fair point!"
On the arena, the snow wolf lunged forward.
Roar! Roar! Roar!
It bit wildly at the motionless Mo.
However, the damage numbers continuously appearing above Mo's head shocked Ironblood Ruthless.
-1345!
-1298!
-1199!
The snow wolf, which normally dealt three to four thousand damage, could now only deal this little damage.
"What insane defense!"
Ironblood Ruthless was truly shocked.
"How can a level 51 assassin have such ridiculous defense?"
Naturally, Ironblood Ruthless did not know: Lin Mo and Ning Xi had specially spent half a day crafting a full set of tier-4 equipment for the clone.
And after evolving through the SSS-rank talent Soul Flame, the opponent Ironblood Ruthless was facing right now was equipped with a full set of level 50 tier-4 gold equipment.
Its gear strength even surpassed Lin Mo himself, whose main body still only wore a tier-3 Venom set.
Thus, after the snow wolf unleashed the combo it was proud of, a combo capable of instantly killing any opponent, Mo's HP bar had only dropped by less than one-fifth.
The moment the three-second suppression ended...
Whoosh!
Under Lin Mo's remote consciousness control, the instant the SSS-rank Speed Walk · Phantom Step activated, the clone turned into lightning and shot rapidly toward Ironblood Ruthless on the other side of the arena.
The speed was so fast that Ironblood Ruthless did not even have time to react.
Slash!
One blade across the throat.
-73658 (Critical Hit)!
The entire arena fell silent.
A moment later, Ironblood Ruthless, who had achieved a thirty-win streak and was viewed by others as an "undefeated war god," dropped heavily to his knees with a thud.
[Announcement: "Ding~ Congratulations to player Mo for defeating Ironblood Ruthless and becoming the new champion of the beginner undead arena."]
Instantly, the whole place went dead silent.
Around the arena, all the spectators stared in shock.
"Holy shit! What kind of damage was that?"
"Damn, seventy thousand damage in one slash? Did he cut an artery or something?"
"My Brother Ruthless... actually lost?"
At once, everyone's attention focused entirely on Mo.
But for Lin Mo, the challenge had only just begun.
According to the undead arena rules: players had to defeat the beginner arena before they could choose to defend the arena or continue challenging the intermediate arena.
Only after defeating the intermediate arena could they challenge the advanced arena.
The clone had already successfully cleared the beginner arena.
So next—
['Challenge the intermediate arena.']
Following Lin Mo's remote command, the clone immediately began the next challenge and entered the intermediate undead arena.
