Throne of Gods: The mighty power of the heavens, the holy dragon descends upon the world!

Chapter 11 With Su Zhe here, are you guys here to compete for second place?

Upon arriving at the Knights' Trial Grounds, the blue-robed woman, Lin Lan, was still somewhat indignant.

"Damn it, what are you pretending for? If you can cultivate to the fifth level, I don't believe you're no more than twenty years old."

Lin Lan's competitive spirit rose, and she decided that she must defeat Su Zhe in the next competition and show him her strength!

As the first match began, Su Zhe sat on the sidelines, attracting the attention of a group of important figures.

Lin Chen glanced over and casually said, "This must be your Knights Temple's number one, right? I heard that after passing the preliminary round, he gave up on the later rounds. I wonder how strong his cultivation is. I hope it's not too exaggerated."

Han Qian narrowed his eyes, knowing that Lin Chen wanted to find out information, but he didn't intend to hide it. In the end, they would naturally find out Su Zhe's strength.

"Water content? Just watch as your number one from the Magic Temple gets crushed by Su Zhe. What bad luck! If it weren't for Su Zhe, your number one might still have made it into the top three."

Seeing Han Qian's smiling face, Lin Chen snorted coldly.

"The outcome is still uncertain; Lin Lan is no pushover."

The others watched the two bickering and couldn't help but exchange glances. The people from the Knight Temple and the Magic Temple even sparked quite a bit in their eyes.

In their minds, the number one of their own temples is naturally the strongest, and under this mentality, many people are even prepared to take a gamble.

"A sixth-order demon crystal, who dares to challenge it?" A high-ranking member of the Knight Temple looked at the other party provocatively.

The man from the Magic Temple laughed, "Dare to compete with a mage in terms of money? I'll offer two. Who's up for it?"

"Three..."

Amidst this argument, the high-ranking officials of both temples stopped watching the matches below until Su Zhe entered the arena, which temporarily brought an end to the quarrel.

"Knight One, versus Assassin Thirteen."

The referee's voice immediately sparked a buzz of discussion.

"I know this Assassin Number Thirteen. I heard he's one of the top three tough guys in this year's Assassin Temple competition. Even Knight Number One wouldn't be able to defeat him easily."

"Brother, are you kidding me? Do you know Knight Number One's record? Unless you're at the fifth rank, you can't last a single move against him," Knight Number Eight said confidently.

The other contestants looked at each other, wanting to refute, but since the other party was from the Knights' Temple, what he said must have a basis.

Thinking this, the contestants couldn't help but turn their attention to the training ground, looking forward to Su Zhe's performance.

Assassin Number Thirteen looked grave. Assassins are not good at head-on combat, and he was facing a knight who was the counter to assassins.

More importantly, the knight in front of him was far more skilled than himself.

Four stone pillars rose, and Assassin Number Thirteen's figure immediately disappeared into the shadows.

Seeing this, Su Zhe held his knight's longsword horizontally in front of his chest, his gaze fixed on a certain spot.

Assassin Number Thirteen, who sensed Su Zhe's gaze, was startled. How could this be? Concealing his presence was his specialty. Even a fifth-level assassin wouldn't be able to detect him. How did Su Zhe lock onto him?

Assassin Number Thirteen gritted his teeth, knowing that if he didn't make a move soon, he would be forced into a head-on confrontation. In an instant, he flashed around the stone pillar and charged towards Su Zhe.

The dark dagger had no luster and caused no change. Assassin Thirteen looked at Su Zhe, who still had his back to him, and felt a surge of joy.

Was it a lucky accident?
Before Assassin Thirteen could figure it out, Su Zhe's longsword had already moved backward.

clang!
It blocked Assassin Number Thirteen's attack perfectly, without any deviation.

Assassin Number Thirteen was flustered, but his hands moved swiftly. If a sneak attack failed, he would launch a full-scale assault, using the assassin's speed advantage to seize the initiative!

As the daggers rained down, Su Zhe remained with his back to Assassin Number Thirteen, using his longsword to deflect the daggers from various angles.

After the attack, Assassin Number Thirteen was forced back dozens of meters, breaking out in a cold sweat.

What the hell? It blocked all the attacks by turning its back to itself?!
Even if someone has trained in the ability to sense killing intent, this is still outrageous! Assassin Number Thirteen couldn't understand it, but he never had the chance to figure it out.

Seeing his opponent retreat, Su Zhe pushed off the ground with his right foot, and his body flew out like an arrow.

"So fast!"

Assassin Number Thirteen's pupils contracted; he was ready to block, but his body couldn't keep up with his brain.

Seeing that his opponent was slow to move, Su Zhe turned his sword into a fist and blasted Assassin Number Thirteen out of the arena with one blow.

The referee swallowed hard, staring at the scene in disbelief.

With powerful perception, speed surpassing even a peak fourth-tier assassin, and strength exceeding that of a fifth-tier warrior, what kind of monster is this?

"Referee, can you announce the result now?"

Seeing the referee's stunned expression, Su Zhe offered a reminder.

The referee, as if waking from a dream, quickly announced, "Knight One wins."

After Su Zhe stepped down from the stage, the other contestants wanted to befriend him, but seeing him close his eyes and meditate as soon as he came down, none of them dared to go up and disturb him.

On the platform, Han Qian winked at Lin Chen, "How about it? This kid is better than your number one, right? Even your number one would have a hard time against Assassin Number Thirteen."

Lin Chen had already seen the difference between the two, and his face flushed red, but he still stubbornly said, "Mages are at a huge disadvantage against assassins. You can't generalize like this. Why don't you let the priest fight the warrior?"

Seeing that Lin Chen was still being stubborn, Han Qian shook her head with amusement, "Alright, then I'll wait for Su Zhe to face off against your number one."

After saying that, Han Qian continued watching the rest of the match and stopped arguing with Lin Chen.

Next up was Lin Lan, whose ice magic was so skillful that everyone nodded in approval.

Lin Lan has the strength, but unfortunately, she is a bit too old. If she doesn't have any opportunities in the future, she will probably only reach the eighth rank.

Su Zhe then competed in several more matches, winning every single one. Some of the opponents even gave up to conserve their spiritual energy.

At this point, Su Zhe had won all eight of his matches, and only one opponent remained to advance with nine wins.

Lin Lan!

Seeing the young woman brimming with fighting spirit, Su Zhe stood up.

Seeing that both sides were ready, the referee immediately announced, "The match begins!"

As the referee gave the whistle, Lin Chen on the podium frowned.

Several matches have been played in the past few days, but Lin Chen still can't figure out Su Zhe's strength at all.

It wasn't that Lin Chen's perception was lacking, but rather that the inheritance ring that Long Xingyu gave to Su Zhe had a certain degree of ability to shield his aura.

Based on Su Zhe's current combat strength, Lin Chen could only tentatively estimate that the opponent's cultivation level was above the fifth rank and seventh level.

Fifth rank, seventh level!

Thinking of this level, Lin Chen gasped. A fifth-tier, seventh-level expert at less than twenty-five years old—the Knight Temple has produced a genius!

"Han Qian, tell me the truth, how old is Su Zhe this year, and what is his cultivation level?" Lin Chen transmitted his voice to Han Qian.

Han Qian felt a surge of joy. It was truly gratifying to have Lin Chen, this stubborn old man, put aside his pride and ask him questions.

"No need to ask anymore, you'll find out later. Right now, all you need to understand is that with Su Zhe around, everyone else is just here to compete for second place."
