Even goblins are dangerous in this other world!

The honest man who had stood up sat back down.

"What, Derek, aren't you going to fight anymore?"

Tata's voice came from the black mist.

"I admit defeat this time."

Derek looked back at the floor and spoke.

Unlike the dazed noblewoman, he judged from the few exchanges between the two that the noblewoman could not break through Luo Xiu's defenses.

Of course, Luo Xiu couldn't do anything to the noblewoman.

This battle will likely end in a draw.

Although it was a draw, it reflected something: Luo Xiu had already reached the strength of the upper fourth rank.

And such a young fourth-tier cultivator has a certain probability of reaching the fifth tier in the future.

Although the probability wasn't high, he didn't dare to gamble, nor could he afford to.

"It's no use if you admit defeat."

Tata slowly began to speak:

"I heard you have a time-traveling stone, so use that as collateral."

"..."

For a moment, Derek really wanted to refuse outright and punch Tata hard. His profession was berserker, and although he usually looked honest, his temper was definitely not good.

Seeing Luo Xiu fighting so fiercely over there, he suppressed the urge to stand up, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"A quarter of a piece."

Before Tata could speak, the previously evenly matched battle suddenly changed.

Having fought a junior for so long without a clear winner, and with her fellow adventurers from the academy standing nearby, the noblewoman felt her face burning with embarrassment; she had completely lost face.

At this moment, she desperately wanted to end the battle, but the more desperate she was, the more flaws she revealed, which Luo Xiu seized upon and attacked relentlessly.

Damn!

She gritted her teeth and made a decision.

Abandon some defense and launch a full-scale attack.

Only in this way can we possibly defeat Luo Xiu.

She slammed the two enormous shields together with a deafening roar, and then magic circles appeared on the shields. In a short moment, the two broad shields transformed into sword and shields that were only slightly wider than an arm.

The base of the shield transformed into sharp edges, gleaming with a chilling light.

Four or five pure white points of light flew out from her chest and merged into the sword and shield on her arm.

Paladin Tier 4 Skill: [Offense/Defense Switch]

Whoosh!

Intricate magic arrays appeared on the sword and shield, and she swung her arm fiercely at Luo Xiu, her speed significantly faster than before.

Luo Xiu retreated quickly, barely dodging the attack, but the next attack arrived soon after.

Swish!

The sharp edges of the sword and shield grazed Luo Xiu's chest, tearing a large gash in his clothes.

Luo Xiu kept retreating and dodging, while the noblewoman pressed closer and closer, soon cornering Luo Xiu against the wall.

Seeing Luo Xiu with nowhere to retreat, the noblewoman smiled cruelly, and her sword and shield slammed down heavily, leaving a streak of silver light in the air.

Just then, Luo Xiu saw that the noblewoman had completely abandoned her defense on the right side. An idea struck him, and he directly blocked with his right arm, colliding with the sword and shield. At the same time, his left arm suddenly swung out, aiming straight for the heart of the enemy.

The noblewoman understood Luo Xiu's intention: to exchange injuries with her. However, she was absolutely confident that the injuries Luo Xiu inflicted on her would be more severe than those he had inflicted on her.

This battle will be a win for her.

So she swung her sword and shield fiercely at Luo Xiu's right arm, determined to severely injure it.

However, at the very moment the sword and shield made contact with Luo Xiu's right arm.

A dazzling white light shone from Luo Xiu's right arm, accompanied by a terrifying pressure.

The white light came from Luo Xiu's [Basic Healing Spell].

As for that oppressive aura, even he himself hadn't expected it to come from a supreme being.

[Divinity detected; the Supreme Body is at work, effectiveness reduced by 20%]

Taking advantage of the lady's momentary daze, Luo Xiu clenched his left fist and swung it directly at her chest.

At the same time, a pitch-black magic circle appeared on his fist, rushed forward, and entered the noblewoman's chest.

The noblewoman trembled, a feeling of weakness and powerlessness welled up inside her, and she instantly lost half of her strength, while her mind also became somewhat dizzy.

It was the newly learned [Weakness Technique] from Luo Xiu.

The noblewoman, no longer able to resist, was punched in the chest by Luo Xiu, spitting out a mouthful of blood and staggering backward.

Luo Xiu had no intention of letting the noblewoman go. The Weakness Spell lasted for two minutes. Taking advantage of her weakness, he rushed forward and threw punches wildly.

At this moment, the noblewoman was completely unable to keep up with the rhythm and force of Luo Xiu's punches and could only passively take the hits.

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Large amounts of blood were spilled, and the battle turned into a one-sided crushing defeat after the noblewoman abandoned her defenses and was weakened by a spell.

The lady initially tried to resist, but was quickly beaten speechless by Luo Xiu. She then tried to ask Derek and Vivian, who were sitting next to her, for help, but the two of them seemed not to hear her. In the end, she even began to beg for mercy intermittently.

There was no way around it; she had been beaten up so badly.

Since she reached the fourth rank, she had never been as miserable as she was today. Time can change many things, and as a paladin, she had forgotten what pain felt like.

Today, Luo Xiu reminded her of those memories.

Those two minutes felt incredibly long to the lady of the house.

By the end, the lady was bruised and battered, looking no more than a bruised and battered woman, comparable to the casseroles on the street.

Just as she felt her strength returning and the nightmare finally ending.

The next second, another black magic circle was injected into her body by Luo Xiu, who had been preparing it all along.

Feeling her power draining away again, she stared in horror, her voluptuous body beginning to tremble.

Luo Xiu smiled slightly and threw another punch.

On the sofa to the side, the honest man watched this scene and fell into complete silence.

He looked at the floor, then looked up at Tata sitting next to him, then glanced at Luo Xiu who was beating up the noblewoman next to him, and then looked back at the floor.

After repeating this several times, he sighed:

"One shuttle stone is one shuttle stone."

There was no other way; Luo Xiu's performance was simply too impactful. Under these circumstances, he had no choice but to mentally increase the probability of Luo Xiu advancing to the fifth rank.

Watching Luo Xiu throw punches again and again, spraying blood each time, even he, a veteran fourth-tier berserker, felt a toothache.

He found it hard to reconcile the seemingly easygoing, smiling blond boy from just moments ago with the guy now constantly throwing punches.

"Perhaps we can wait a little longer. I now feel that my students are not necessarily worth more than a shuttle stone."

Tata spoke up.

His voice carried a rare hint of mockery.

Upon hearing this, a vein throbbed on Derek's forehead. Without hesitation, he took a stone from his pocket and handed it to Tata.

The stone appeared completely transparent. If you stared at it for a long time, you would see it disappear from its spot from time to time and then reappear after a while.

This is the shuttle stone, a necessary material for crafting shuttle-type equipment.

A tentacle extended from Tata's body, enveloping the stone and disappearing into the black mist.

"Since you've already accepted it, let's leave it at that. I'll be going now."

Derek stood up, wiped his hands on his trousers, and prepared to leave as soon as possible.

Just then, the battle on Luo Xiu's side finally ended.

At this moment, the noblewoman was being held in Luo Xiu's hand like a dead dog. Her clothes were tattered, her hair was disheveled, and her face was unrecognizable. She was unconscious.

Luo Xiu led the noblewoman to Tata and bowed respectfully:

"Teacher, the person who spoke rudely has been apprehended. What are your plans for further action?"

"Apart from not killing, the rest is up to you."

Tata's voice was calm.

Luo Xiu nodded:

"The student understands."

He reached out and touched the lady.

Derek's eyes narrowed as he watched this scene.

He never expected that this blond boy would do something so shameful to the lady in front of everyone.

"This doesn't seem quite right—"

He paused halfway through his sentence.

Because Luo Xiu simply reached out and removed the two shields from the noblewoman's arm and the magic pouch from her waist.

"What's not quite right?"

Luo Xiu looked at Derek with some confusion.

"No, it's nothing."

Derek took a deep breath.

He just wanted to get out of there as soon as possible; he felt that coming to see Tata tonight was a mistake.

Thinking of this, he turned and walked towards the door.
