Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

He's probably going to suffer his first loss since leaving Canril.

Nip sighed inwardly.

Kanriel has never been bothered by monsters for many years and lacks the tempering of real battles. I heard that there was a monster siege there recently. I guess this young man in front of me has only experienced killing a monster once and is already excited and wants to come to Rauwanpu to try his luck.

The capital city had produced such geniuses before, but in the end they all realized that the Demon Tide of Rowamp was far from what they had imagined, and they all left in a panic.

Novamp's thoughts were similar to Nipp's.

He naturally didn't think that Luo Xiu would be foolish enough to challenge him at only the fourth rank, but he also didn't think that Luo Xiu could defeat him.

There are also differences between fifth-order units.

"Alright kid, let me teach you a lesson and show you how cruel this place is. It's not like the playhouse you guys in Kanriel play."

Novamp rubbed his fist, and his words changed the gazes of the Kanriel geniuses behind Luo Xiu.

Kanriel had just experienced a huge life-or-death crisis, but this guy was mocking it as playing house. This was a blatant insult to the entire Kanriel.

Beat him to a pulp.

Everyone looked at Luo Xiu, never before so eager for him to step forward.

"Then come on."

Luo Xiu's smile remained gentle, like a traveler strolling slowly along the roadside in autumn or winter, recording what he saw and heard as he walked and admired the beautiful scenery.

But he was very fast.

Those who were close behind couldn't see anything clearly, only that the sea breeze seemed to have intensified. Then, with a muffled thud, a huge fist-shaped mark appeared on Novamp's armor.

Novamp's face turned red, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared wide-eyed at Luo Xiu, who had flashed in front of him, his eyes filled with shock. But Luo Xiu did not stop his action. Instead, he threw another punch like a phantom.

This time, Novamp blocked it.

But it doesn't completely block it out.

He managed to block it because he had anticipated Luo Xiu's movements based on his years of combat experience, and his arms blocked Luo Xiu's punch. He didn't completely block it because after the punch, the azure armor on his arms suddenly shattered, and blood gushed out like a fountain.

However, his sneaky whip kick struck Luo Xiu's right leg, but it was as if he had hit an iron mountain. It failed to shake Luo Xiu in the slightest, and instead, Luo Xiu's leg was in excruciating pain.

Behind him, a bright white magic circle suddenly lit up, and a huge phantom of a god descended in an instant.

The phantom was blurry, but one could vaguely see that it was holding a trident-like weapon, wearing a white and blue cloak, and a crown on its head.

His aura visibly surged, but Luo Xiu unleashed dozens of punches in an instant, each one carrying boundless killing intent, each punch landing squarely on the flesh.

Amidst a barrage of fist strikes, the phantom behind Novamp was actually blasted apart!

As he coughed up a mouthful of blood, Novamp swayed precariously. His eyes widened in horror as he looked at Luo Xiu's hand, which was only centimeters from his neck, and he fell into a deathly silence.

Luo Xiu withdrew his palm, his smile gentle:

"Thank you for your kind offer."

"..."

"..."

Not only Novanpu, but the entire surrounding sea seemed to have been silenced by Luo Xiu.

Although the Kanriel group behind Luo Xiu knew that Luo Xiu was very strong, they were still incredibly shocked to witness it firsthand.

Is this person really around our age? The fifth-tier opponent on the other side was completely crushed.

Everyone who had previously hoped to use the Golden Apple Garden to catch up with Luo Xiu has now fallen silent.

Among the tumbleweeds in the surrounding sea.

The residents of Rovanpu looked at the blond young man in astonishment, never expecting that he could defeat Lord Novanpu.

It should be noted that Novamp was once famous throughout the seas, having killed thousands of monsters; he was by no means an undeserving reputation.

Nip, standing next to Novanpu, was even more shocked. She felt Luo Xiu's domineering presence most directly.

The sheer force and overwhelming physical superiority of the opponent terrified her, especially considering that Novamp was a warrior, yet he was utterly defeated in just a few physical clashes.

If it were her, at the same distance, Luo Xiu probably wouldn't have given her any chance to cast a spell, and the battle would have ended much faster.

Finally, in the dead silence, Novamp spoke. He struggled to his feet and looked at Luo Xiu:

"...He's a man of great stature. I underestimated him just now. Kanriel certainly has his own strengths."

"But I hope that when you get to the battlefield, you can still show the same ruthlessness you did just now."

After saying that, he turned his back, seemingly a little embarrassed, because he had just been defeated by Luo Xiu, yet he still had the audacity to lecture Luo Xiu.

Novanpu is the quintessential Rovanpian: he respects tough guys, despises cowards, can afford to lose, but also values ​​his pride.

At this moment, he was overwhelmed with shock, like a tsunami, wondering how Kanriel had managed to raise such a "monster".

He searched his memory but couldn't find a young genius in Rauwanpu who could rival Luo Xiu, which frustrated him. It didn't matter if he lost, but it would be very wrong if Rauwanpu lost.

Rovanpu is the second-ranked city in Dorant, and if you exclude the royal capital, it's the first.

Faced with Novamp's lecturing, Luo Xiu smiled:

"Very well, I hope that when we get to the battlefield, you will take good care of me."

Having achieved his goal of establishing his authority upon arriving in Rovaniemi, he naturally did not want to cause any more trouble.

He now had only one thought: to get to the battlefield inhabited by monsters as quickly as possible.

Everything else, do it as quickly as possible.

Just as Neptune was about to step in and smooth things over, a voice came from the giant ferry behind her:

"Lady Neptune, have you not received the person yet? Is there a problem?"

Two figures leaned out from the edge of the boat, a man and a woman.

The man was dressed in magnificent aristocratic attire, a handcrafted gown with cross-stitch embroidery, a white silk undershirt, and buttons on the cuffs and collar made entirely of expensive gemstones.

But Luo Xiu's attention was entirely focused on the woman beside him.

The woman had skin as smooth as jade, and her beautiful eyes sparkled like stars. She wore a gorgeous red dress, and her neck was as white as snow. Under the sunlight, she looked like a rose blooming on the sea. She wore a large, illusory purple gem on her chest, which Luo Xiu recognized at a glance as a fifth-tier item.

But what really caught his attention was the woman's face.

He was an old acquaintance.

Liz.

Back in Wheel Town, Liss was one of Luo Xiu's former friends. At first, Luo Xiu traded a lot of useful items with her. Although some things happened later that were not so pleasant, after the final battle, Luo Xiu never thought of taking her life and let her go.

According to Old White, in the end, an elderly man from Kanrill College stepped forward and took her away.

I never expected to see her here.

Luo Xiu smiled and waved to Liss.

Liz naturally noticed Luo Xiu as well. Her beautiful eyes held a complex expression. Finally, she pursed her lips and nodded slightly as a greeting.

Leila, who was standing nearby, was very happy to see Liss. After being rescued by Luo Xiu, she regarded Liss as her first friend. Moreover, she remembered that night when Liss took out a healing spell book that saved her master's life.

Although her master knocked Liz unconscious later, in her rather naive view, it was perhaps more of a last resort.

She waved at Liss, but when Liss didn't respond, she assumed Liss hadn't seen her, so she spoke to Luo Xiu:

"Master, it's Sister Lis. Can I go play with her later?"

Luo Xiu thought for a moment. Although he didn't think his Leila would have a pleasant experience going to see Liz later, he still smiled and nodded in the end.

"can."

"Yay!"

Luo Xiu looked at Leila, whose ears were trembling with joy, and smiled slightly, his eyes incredibly gentle.

Perhaps socializing is a simple matter for him, but for Leila, her social relationships were completely blank before she met him.

He and Leila had a master-servant relationship, while Leila's relationship with Tassanya and Milair was more like that of superior and subordinate.

So Leila was very happy after joining the Knights, because she met many people, filled in the gaps in her working relationships, and took care of many residents while patrolling the streets, receiving their gratitude and completing the relationships between service providers and recipients, and between doer and recipient of good deeds.

Humans are the sum total of their social relations.

Luo Xiu has always believed in this statement. For his Leila, he is willing to let her fill in the gaps in her past relationships, one by one. She truly lacks a friend she can respect.

As long as she's happy.

Nip raised her head, looked at the two people on the bow of the ship, composed herself after being shocked by Luo Xiu, and smiled as she spoke:

"I received it. It's nothing, thank you for your concern."

Fortunately, Luo Xiu ended the battle almost instantly. Although it was a big commotion, the people on the ship didn't have time to come and see. Otherwise, he and Novamp would have been extremely embarrassed.

Those who came to pick up the participants of the Golden Apple Garden were brutally beaten.

The group finally boarded the ferry along the wide, sloping ramp.

It seemed that there had been quite a commotion just now. As soon as we boarded the ship, we could see that the number of people on the deck had increased significantly. Many geniuses from other cities who had been resting or socializing in the lower cabins came out and came to the deck.

“Your Excellency Neptune, I just heard quite a commotion, so I came out to check. I hope it's nothing serious.”

The nobleman who had just been standing on the edge of the ship leaned out and walked toward Neptune with Liss, speaking with a smile.

"It's alright, thank you for your concern, Sixth Prince."

Neptune thanked her again. Although the person in front of her was of a lower rank than herself, he was of extremely noble status and was one of the key figures being cultivated by the core royal family. It was rumored that the resources spent on him were enough to create a fifth-tier individual.

He hasn't broken through to the fifth rank yet because he was chosen to test a path, hoping that he could reach the pinnacle of the fourth rank and then rise rapidly after breaking through to the fifth rank.

This time, the core royal family selected many people, each with a different direction. Although Neptune did not understand the intention behind it, she still treated the sixth prince in front of her with utmost respect.

Novamp, on the other hand, didn't seem to be swayed by the nobleman's manner. He hadn't gotten along with the nobleman on his way to pick him up.

Hearing the nobleman repeatedly mention the commotion, and considering her own disheveled appearance, it was clear that the nobleman was doing it on purpose, trying to draw everyone's attention to her current wretched state.

Even though the person opposite him was the current sixth prince of the kingdom, Novamp was still very angry and his eyes were unfriendly.

But the sixth prince opposite him showed no sign of backing down. He looked at Novamp and smiled as he spoke:

"Are you really alright, Your Excellency Novamp? You don't seem to be doing well."

"..."

Novanpu was furious. He was already in a bad mood after being brutally beaten by Luo Xiu, and his whole body was still aching. On top of that, this sixth prince was sticking to him like a lapdog. If it weren't for the fact that the other party had powerful backing, he would have already made a move to let him know that although he couldn't beat Luo Xiu, he could easily crush a fourth-tier opponent and teach this guy a lesson.
