Chapter 181: Old friend, just thinking about it is thrilling!-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.)

"Then thank you for holding back, Senior." Lin Han withdrew his fist, instantly transforming back into that bright and cheerful sunny boy.

Liu Hongyun replied, "It is I who am lacking in skill. If there is a chance in the future, I will challenge you again."

"You flatter me, Senior. Clearly, you held back, otherwise how could a junior like me possibly win?"

"No, no, no, it's just that my skills are inferior."

"Senior is too modest..."

"No, no, no, my skills are in..."

The two of them exchanged polite modesty with no intention of stopping. Finally, the Vice Principal gave a couple of coughs and officially declared Lin Han the winner.

"Junior, keep it up!"

With that, Liu Hongyun leaped back up to the spectator stands.

By this time, Jiang Ruixin had clenched her small fists and was glaring at Lin Han with anger. Why hadn't he known how to hold back when he was dealing with her earlier?!

Earlier, when she saw Lin Han throw a punch aimed at the face, she had felt a brief thrill—at least someone else was ending up as miserable as she had been.

But Lin Han had actually stopped his punch in the end!

That's right, this guy actually restrained his punch!

What was that supposed to mean? Just because she was pretty and voluptuous?

Thinking of this, Jiang Ruixin couldn't help but look down at herself. Damn it... her vision was completely unobstructed!

Hmph!

Secular men! When it comes to women, you can only truly rely on yourself!

Meanwhile, down on the arena, Lin Han had won the first match, and quite a few freshmen were celebrating his victory. After all, a freshman beating a senior brought them a certain amount of face.

However, upon hearing that winning might cost them ten percent of their cultivation resources, their expressions instantly shifted into an attitude of irreconcilable enmity toward Lin Han.

"Who else dares to fight me?"

Seeing Lin Han's blatant provocation, many people clenched their fists tightly. But since Senior Liu Hongyun had already lost, what could they possibly do?

Their own strength wasn't at the Diamond tier; they simply couldn't beat him. Yet when they looked over at the Diamond-tier senior students, those upperclassmen didn't make a single move.

"No one dares to step up." Yuan Si burst into laughter, completely out of breath. "I never expected my Brother Han's deterrent force to be this massive now. Looks like Brother Han is destined to be a school bully-level figure in the future!"

Tian Yi said with a scoff, "Right now, everyone else is afraid of taking the blame. If they let Lin Han win, Lin Han would essentially be the one they personally pushed forward to advance. These people aren't short on contribution points at all; they simply don't want to carry this burden."

"Still, if no one accepts the challenge soon, the Vice Principal will likely start drawing lots."

Right at that moment, a figure descended from the sky, landing heavily upon the battle stage and shattering the ground into countless fragments!

"Lin Han, long time no see. I never expected you'd actually dare to come here and participate in this match. I've been waiting for you for a very long time."

"You are... Chen Jianan?!" Lin Han feigned an expression of surprise, though he had already guessed this fellow would show up. Back in the cafeteria that day, it was precisely this guy who had threatened him, telling him he would pay the price on this very day!

The opponent must have known in advance that this match would include such a segment, which was why he had been waiting here for him all along.

"My name is Zhang Jianan!" Zhang Jianan said irritably. "Originally, kid, this young master intended to challenge you after the matches concluded. But since this opportunity has presented itself, I am going to make you lose face thoroughly in front of the entire school!"

Lin Han let out a sigh. "Then I must ask Senior to hold back. However, I certainly won't hold back myself!"

As soon as those words fell, Lin Han charged forward!

At this, Zhang Jianan burst into wild laughter. "Lin Han, you actually dare to display close-quarters hand-to-hand combat in front of a Diamond-tier warrior? Aren't you taking yourself a bit too seriously?!"

"Senior, the outcome is yet to be decided!"

Lin Han chuckled lightly and threw a punch. The opponent showed not the slightest bit of cowardice; the moment Lin Han arrived, he met the attack with a punch of his own!

Both were close-combat fighters, so once they clashed, their momentum was imposing and grand.

"What do you even have to fight me with?!" Zhang Jianan laughed frantically, and a suit of armor instantly materialized on his body!

Lin Han sneered and whipped out a kick. "Do you really think you can secure victory in front of me just relying on this suit of armor?"

"You really think quite highly of yourself, don't you!"

Faced with Lin Han's provocation, Zhang Jianan instantly grew furious, his hand movements accelerating rapidly!

As a warrior, he had never feared anyone when it came to close-quarters physical combat!

"Regardless of whether you're a Sanctuary Priest or whatever hellish thing you are, today you are destined to be this young master's defeated foe!"

Hearing Zhang Jianan's words, Lin Han felt somewhat helpless. He accelerated his speed to dodge Zhang Jianan's strike, then slammed a fist directly onto Zhang Jianan's armor!

"Young Master Zhang, has nobody ever told you to talk less nonsense during a fight? If you're going to fight, fight properly. What are you yapping about?"

Faced with Lin Han's verbal barbs, Zhang Jianan, whose temper was already blazing, could hardly endure such humiliation!

Yet right at that moment, Lin Han flashed around to Zhang Jianan's back with astonishing speed and delivered a heavy palm strike straight to the back of his armor.

"I told you, talk less nonsense when fighting! Are you still not convinced?"

"Since that's the case, I have no choice but to beat you until you are convinced!"

Lin Han had no intention of showing mercy to Zhang Jianan. This guy was purely cut from the cloth of someone asking for a beating. If Feng Yunxin hadn't stepped in to stop him back in the cafeteria last time, he would have taught him a proper lesson long ago.

Although the guy was a Diamond-tier warrior, he was actually much easier to deal with. As long as it was close combat, he didn't take him seriously at all.

In his mind, this Diamond-tier warrior was far easier to handle than a Platinum-tier mage.

All he needed to do was fully suppress him in terms of footwork and raw power!

Victory would come easily!

"What?!"

Zhang Jianan hadn't reacted in time. How could this guy's speed possibly be this fast?!

Although the armor on his body was extremely sturdy and he held absolute confidence in winning this match, if he were to be toyed with by Lin Han like this, what would the others think of him?!

He wouldn't be able to save face at all!

Before he could even process his thoughts, a barrage of punches mixed with palm strikes began to rain down ferociously, every single one landing squarely without missing a single blow!

"This is impossible!" Zhang Jianan felt a fleeting surge of despair. How could a Third-Transition Priest possibly suppress him in close-quarters combat?!

Lin Han let out a cold snort. "If you're going to fight, fight properly. If you talked less nonsense, your win rate might actually be a bit higher. But in this battle, you no longer have any chance!"

He could faintly sense that his opponent's suit of armor was perhaps reaching its functional limit—it was about to crack apart!

Just what kind of expression would Zhang Jianan make when that time came?

Indeed, just thinking about it was enough to make one a little excited!
