Chapter 176: An Illegitimate Child? Time to Break That Stubborn Spirit!-Mass Job Change: My Skills Are All Forbidden Spells with a Ten Thousand Times Boost(By the banks of the Ruoshui River, the wine cups drift along the gentle current.)

It was no secret; almost the moment he first enrolled, people already knew that Jiang Ruixin was Feihua's younger sister.

Just as he was about to offer an explanation, he saw Tianyi looking thoroughly enlightened as he exclaimed, "This must be Senior Jiang's illegitimate child born outside!"

Upon hearing this, even the usually composed Lin Han almost staggered backward.

"Senior Tianyi, there is only a difference of about six years between their ages, how could she possibly be the Senior's child?!"

"However, there have been rumors recently that the younger sister of that Senior is a student in this year's cohort. It must be her without a doubt."

Hearing this, Tianyi instantly realized the truth. "So that's how it is. I suppose I was overthinking things."

During the time they spent talking, Yuan Si had already fallen completely onto the defensive on the arena stage. He never imagined that under the exact same tier of cultivation, he would actually be suppressed by someone!

And his opponent was even a girl!

How could he ever accept this?

Yet, this reality was happening to him right now.

"Still letting your mind wander in the middle of a battle!" Suddenly, an ethereal voice appeared right beside Yuan Si's ear, prompting him to instinctively slash his dagger sideways to block.

Yet when his eyes swept across the space, there was not a soul to be seen!

Where did she go?!

Just as this thought crossed Yuan Si's mind, a cold blade was already pressed against his back.

"Surrender. You no longer have a chance!"

"When did..." Yuan Si couldn't believe it. The voice had clearly come from the other side just a moment ago—why was she suddenly behind him?

Could it be that he had been played right from the very beginning?

This was no longer just a gap in raw strength; it was a vast disparity in combat awareness.

Yuan Si let out a sigh, offering a wry smile. "I concede."

Hearing these words, Jiang Ruixin slowly withdrew her dagger, while Yuan Si returned to the spectator seats with a dejected expression.

He had originally thought he could help Brother Han deal with a few more opponents, but he ended up losing the second match.

"Are you alright?" Lin Han noticed Yuan Si's state of mind and comforted him, "It's completely normal that you couldn't beat her. She outranks you by several levels in pure strength, so there's no need to worry."

Yuan Si waved his hand and said, "Brother Han, you don't need to comfort me. I admit my skills are inferior. Once I grow stronger, I will definitely challenge her again!"

Seeing Yuan Si's recovery in spirit, Lin Han felt somewhat more at ease.

It was normal to feel low after losing a match, but the fact that his companion wasn't completely demoralized by this single defeat was already more than enough.

Lin Han stood up at that moment and said, "The face my brother lost, I will win back for you."

"Brother Han..."

"That's Senior Ruixin we're talking about, can you really pull this off?"

"She isn't..." Lin Han said with a helpless smile before leaping onto the arena stage. "Jiang Ruixin, your next opponent is me."

Jiang Ruixin gave a faint nod, having no desire to waste words.

This little girl's personality was the complete opposite of her older sister's. Senior Feihua was remarkably free and easy, but purely in terms of temperament, a true assassin ought to be just like Jiang Ruixin.

"Gold-tier Altar Priest, Lin Han!"

Lin Han announced his class and name.

"An Altar Priest? A hidden class?" Jiang Ruixin's expression turned odd, and she then said, "Are you sure you want to challenge me? I have zero interest in beating up a healing-class support."

"You might not necessarily defeat me yet, don't speak so soon!"

Lin Han chuckled softly, then took the initiative, charging toward Jiang Ruixin with blinding speed!

"So fast!"

Jiang Ruixin was taken aback. This speed was already on par with her own! Gradually, she began to take him seriously; this support class opponent was formidable!

Lin Han seized Jiang Ruixin's positioning and threw a punch straight at her!

The speed was so fierce that it left Jiang Ruixin no time to react. Reflexively, she raised her palms to block, yet even so, the sheer impact blew her body backward by several meters.

"Such immense strength." Jiang Ruixin steadied herself the moment her feet touched the ground, a lingering numbness in her arms sending waves of shock through her heart.

How could a Priest possess such terrifying strength?

This person had completely shattered her prior understanding. He would not be easy to deal with!

Lin Han gave Jiang Ruixin no time to ponder; the instant she landed, he lashed out with another palm strike!

Having learned her lesson from before, however, Jiang Ruixin reacted this time, swiftly dodging to the side and drawing her own dagger to counterattack!

She could not allow herself to fall into the opponent's rhythm!

At this moment, she began to treat this Gold-tier Priest with absolute seriousness!

"At the boundary of night and day, I already wander."

"The moment I transform into darkness, I shall sink thoroughly into every corner of the world."

"I shall become the darkness, and the darkness shall become me!"

"Respected God of Assassination, I am your most pious devotee. Please bestow upon me the power to alter everything—Three Thousand Shadow Kill Array!"

Following Jiang Ruixin's chant, numerous shadows suddenly materialized around her, and her own figure ultimately dissolved into a shifting black silhouette.

Lin Han frowned slightly. This was not an innate assassin ability; it had to be some sort of skill scroll, and its grade definitely wouldn't be low.

While he was still assessing the situation, all the shadows launched their attacks simultaneously, their speed twice as fast as before!

At that instant, he pushed his Eye of God to its absolute limit, and the movements of each shadow instantly slowed down in his field of vision!

Lin Han crouched down and threw a punch straight at one of the shadows!

Solid contact!

This wasn't an ordinary phantom illusion; these were genuine physical entities!

Right at that moment, all the other shadows swarmed in to attack him as well. Lin Han immediately retreated, pulling back to a safe distance.

Initially, he had assumed this was merely a deceptive diversion skill like a shadow clone, but he hadn't expected every single shadow to possess physical substance.

That was getting a bit absurd.

Given Jiang Ruixin's capabilities, she was merely a Gold-tier assassin; a skill of this caliber should at least be a high-tier or even a rare-tier ability.

How on earth could she cast it?

Was this little girl an absolute monster?

Nevertheless, Lin Han didn't panic. Ever since he activated his Eye of God, he had been tracking the exact location of the girl's true body. Even though this skill was troublesome, as long as he eliminated her real body, the rest of the trouble would naturally vanish.

With that thought in mind, he moved out once more. When it came to pure speed, he feared no one!

Easily evading the coordinated encirclement of the numerous shadows, he spotted a black figure lingering directly on his left. The corners of Lin Han's mouth curved upward—found her!

At that moment, that black figure also lunged forward with her blade. This time, Lin Han didn't dodge; he sidestepped the incoming blow and unleashed a punch!

The blow landed solidly right against her abdomen!

Since you're Feihua's younger sister, I might as well help your sister temper this attitude of yours a little!

Otherwise, you're bound to suffer a massive loss out there in the future!
