The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

Chapter 141 Domain Stolen? And by One Person at a Time!

As Nangong Muyu's figure gradually disappeared from everyone's sight, the attention in the noisy fighting arena quickly refocused on Lu Yan.

Although Nangong Muyu's actions have always been eccentric, the fact that she has gained the approval of the number one on the Golden List is enough to prove that Lu Yan's strength should not be underestimated.

Among those watching Lu Yan was Guo Wei, who was currently ninth on the Golden List.

Guo Wei's gaze fell on the golden blood in Lu Yan's hand, his expression solemn.

Without another word, he tossed his vial of golden blood into Qian Xin's arms, looked up at Lu Yan, and said bluntly, "Want to take a gamble?"

"Can."

Lu Yan shrugged and readily agreed.

There's no reason to refuse gold and blood offered for free.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, the two stepped into the fighting arena one after the other, and a battle between the top ten on the Gold List was about to begin.

"What sequence do you think Lu Yan will use this time?"

"【Teacher】No new branch sequences have been released recently, I guess it's still the same old three, right?"

"If that's the case, Guo Wei might win? After all, his new path has always been very stable in terms of combat strength."

"You guys really didn't do any background checks, did you? Lu Yan's main path is a dual path of Warrior and Judgment, his foundation is extremely solid, how could he be weak?"

"That seems to be true—last time he defeated Xiahou Yu, he only used a Sequence 8."

Outside the arena, murmurs rose and fell, but inside, Guo Wei had already composed himself, focusing intently on Lu Yan, his aura gradually becoming heavy.

A few days ago, he was defeated by Ning Ran. Although he was not seriously injured, the sense of defeat lingered in his heart and was hard to dispel.

He saw clearly that Ning Ran's own sequence risks had not been completely resolved; they were only barely alleviated by the [Military Contract] branch path.

But deep down he was unwilling to admit that a mere branch path could actually compensate for the defect of the original sequence path being cut off!

If that were the case, wouldn't these cultivators who had devoted so much effort to awakening new paths become clowns in the eyes of the world?

At present, Lu Yan seems to have mastered the entire branch sequence of the [Teacher] development, which is the best object for him to verify the strength of the path.

He wanted to use this bet to prove that neither the branch paths nor the original path, which had long since faded away, were a match for the new path!

With a whistle, Guo Wei suddenly unleashed a chilling aura that instantly froze the entire fighting arena.

Before everyone could be surprised, all the cold air surged back and gathered around Guo Wei, condensing into ice knights.

Although they are formed from solidified ice, these ice knights are incredibly lifelike, just like a real army.

"Domain of the Frost Knights!"

"charge!"

At Guo Wei's command, the entire Frost Knights raised their spears and charged toward Lu Yan in a mighty and imposing manner.

"It's a move I haven't seen before."

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, his face showing no sign of panic, and instead neither dodged nor avoided the attack.

The weapon box behind him opened quietly, and countless weapons came out with a whoosh, their cold light flashing.

At the same time, an ancient battlefield filled with all sorts of abandoned weapons appeared out of thin air, firmly blocking the way for the Ice Knights' Domain of Military Strategy!

One after another, the spirits of soldiers awoke from the discarded weapons, gripped their own weapons, and charged head-on towards the Frost Knights.

The Frost Knights, who had always been invincible, were as fragile as paper in the face of these fearless warriors, and were utterly shattered into countless ice shards.

"puff--!"

With his domain broken, Guo Wei was instantly struck by a backlash, spitting out a mouthful of blood. His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground, his face filled with disbelief.

"One more time—and another!"

Qian Xin's eyes lit up, and he had already figured out the selling points of the next gambling match.

There's no point in betting on whether Lu Yan wins or loses, but he can bet on how many moves Lu Yan will need to defeat his opponent!

If Lu Yan can win with one move every time, he's really going to make a fortune this time!

Qian Xin immediately got busy, but most people in the room hadn't yet recovered from the scene before them.

"No way? Even Guo Wei couldn't withstand a single blow? This must be a fixed match!"

"Exactly! He was evenly matched with Xiahou Yu before, how could he be so weak? It's definitely a fixed match!"

"Um—is it possible that Lu Yan was just joking around last time?"

"Hiss—it really seems so! Last time he defeated Xiahou Yu, he only used Sequence 8, it was like child's play!"

"A beast! This is absolutely a monster of beastly caliber!"

The discussions continued, while Lu Yan smiled and put away Guo Wei's bottle of golden blood, thinking to himself, "Two bottles of golden blood should last for a few days."

"Tell me—are you really using the original path?"

Guo Wei struggled to his feet, his eyes filled with urgency, wanting an answer from Lu Yan.

"Is it important?"

Lu Yan shrugged, his tone indifferent.

For him, no matter what path he takes, the panel can plan a path to ultimate power; there is no essential difference.

But these words struck Guo Wei like a thunderclap.

He stood there in a daze, and after a moment he seemed to wake from a dream. The obsession that had troubled him for so long vanished in an instant.

"Yes, does the path really matter? What determines strength is always the extraordinary individual themselves!"

Guo Wei bowed respectfully to Lu Yan, having already regarded Lu Yan as a peak he must overcome on his path to becoming a powerful figure.

"Thanks, I'll challenge you again!"

"You're always welcome, but remember to bring your Golden Blood."

Lu Yan waved his hand and then gestured for Qian Xin to continue arranging the match for him.

Speaking of which, the eighth-ranked person on the Golden List is none other than his acquaintance, Ning Ran.

Before he could even prepare, his ranking on the panel jumped directly past Ning Ran to eighth.

"Ning Ran just admitted defeat? I just bet Lu Yan defeated Ning Ran in one move!"

"Pfft! The bookmaker won without even making a single move! That's hilarious!"

"Damn it! Can't Ning Ran have any backbone? She should at least go up and take a beating!"

Amidst the grumbling and cursing, Yin Shuo, who had come to watch the show, felt a little guilty and quietly approached Ning Ran to ask a question.

"Hey Ning Ran, don't you like strong opponents the most? Why don't you go up and give it a try?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Ran couldn't help but roll her eyes, too lazy to explain at all.

Didn't you see that Guo Wei had already collapsed before Lu Yan's military strategy had even fully unfolded?

If he were to unleash his full power, Guo Wei's life would likely be over.

He craved a battle of equal strength, not a one-sided massacre.

While everyone was discussing the matter, Lu Yan had already launched a challenge against his next opponent.

Shen Xi ranked seventh on the Gold List.

"Is this kid planning to completely plunder the Golden Ranking?"

Upon hearing the news, Shen Xi rushed over and stood at the edge of the fighting arena, her gaze complex, before letting out a helpless sigh.

In the past, he would never have provoked a prodigy like Lu Yan; he would most likely have simply admitted defeat.

Since the rewards aren't much different even if you don't make it into the top three, there's no need to suffer for the sake of ranking.

But this time he couldn't back down.

Although there was no conclusive evidence, his sister Shen Qin always believed that Chu Xuan was killed by Lu Yan and kept pestering him to avenge Chu Xuan.

Shen Xi was naturally unwilling to agree, but now that such an opportunity to "teach Lu Yan a lesson" was right in front of him, if he fled without a fight, he would definitely be annoyed to death by Shen Qin when he got home.

However, he was genuinely unsure.

Although Guo Wei's strength is not as good as his, the gap between the two is not large.

If it weren't for the unique methods used by the Shen family's thieves, Guo Wei might not have lost to him.

But Guo Wei couldn't even withstand a single move from Lu Yan, which is simply too outrageous.

"We have no choice but to take a gamble!"

Shen Xi took a deep breath, leaped into the fighting arena, and tactfully took out his bottle of golden blood, speaking in a humble tone.

"My sister has offended me greatly before, and I hope Young Master Lu will not take offense. Regardless of the outcome, this bottle of golden blood belongs to Young Master Lu."

Sister? Lu Yan raised an eyebrow, only then barely remembering Shen Qin's existence.

There was nothing he could do; Shen Qin had never really stood out when she was with Chu Xuan, so he hadn't paid her much attention.

"I already received the apology, so there's no need for an apology."

, 5

Lu Yan waved his hand and said with a smile, "However, I would be impolite to refuse this bottle of golden blood."

As soon as he finished speaking, the War Tomb Domain solidified once more, with countless weapons hovering in the air, ready to attack Shen Xi.

Just then, a phantom of a fire-wielder suddenly appeared behind Shen Xi, and the phantom gently waved to Lu Yan.

The next instant, Lu Yan felt a surge of power being forcibly drained from his body, and the military domain surrounding him dissipated as well.

Immediately afterwards, an exact replica of a military strategist appeared around Shen Xi, completely enveloping Lu Yan.

"The Thief - Sequence 6 - The Fire Stealer!"

Someone recognized Shen Xi's sequence and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"So that's how it is, it's the thief's path."

Upon seeing this, Lu Yan suddenly realized what was happening, but his face showed no panic. Instead, he looked at Shen Xi with great interest.

Although he had heard that this path could temporarily steal an opponent's abilities, he never expected that it could even steal a domain.

However, stolen power is ultimately difficult to control.

If someone dares to steal his military domain, Shen Xi may not be prepared to bear the overwhelming killing intent they might unleash.

After all, before becoming a domain, the military strategist was the embodiment of his and countless remnants' killing intent, sharp and domineering.

Sure enough, just as Shen Xi was about to activate the stolen military strategy, a terrifying killing intent swept over him and rushed straight into his sea of ​​consciousness.

Shen Xi was not a flower in a greenhouse; she had also experienced countless life-and-death battles under the arrangement of her father, Shen Chuan.

Faced with such bone-chilling killing intent, his spirit was still hit like never before, his whole body stiffened, and even breathing became difficult.

This field is simply beyond his capabilities!

Shen Xi quickly recognized this cruel reality and unhesitatingly undone the ability theft.

Even so, he was still affected by the backlash of the killing intent. His face turned ashen, his body swayed, and he almost fainted.

"I lost."

Looking at Lu Yan, who remained calm and collected, Shen Xi shook her head with a wry smile and conceded defeat.

Although Lu Yan never made a move, the moment he stole the domain, he clearly sensed that Lu Yan had more than just this one domain.

If Lu Yan had seized the opportunity to make a move just now, he probably wouldn't even have been qualified to enter the tower.

The confrontation between the two ended dramatically before it even truly began.

Most of the spectators outside the venue didn't even understand what had happened.

They only saw Lu Yan activate his domain, which was then stolen by Shen Xi. Shen Xi then inexplicably deactivated the domain and voluntarily surrendered. The whole process took no more than two breaths, leaving everyone breathless.

But this time, no one questioned whether the match was fixed.

After all, given Shen Xi's status, she would never joke about her reputation.

But the more this was the case, the more curious everyone became about Lu Yan's true strength, and the more they looked forward to his upcoming matches.

Will Lu Yan be able to defeat his next opponent with a single move?
