Chapter 650 Times have changed
"Next, we will proceed to the fifth match of the first round. Please ask both players, Luo Jun and James, to go to the No. 1 and No. 7 entrances of the stadium respectively for pre-match inspection!"

Following the host Qiao Fei's notice, Luo Jun and James left the contestant area. Before leaving, the black contestant named James made a throat-cutting gesture to Luo Jun.

"Pretty arrogant." Luo Jun muttered to himself.

"Because in the semi-finals, it was Aishilia who pretended to be the master." Ailontan reminded: "She couldn't use the ability of the shapeshifting school, so she relied on basic Qi to fight throughout the whole process, and broke through purely by crushing the realm... In the eyes of people who have never fought with Aishilia, the master is a pretty good fighter. In addition, you look very young and have not been recommended by the academy. Many contestants who advanced from the audition regarded you as a soft persimmon."

"Is that so..." Luo Jun smiled and shook his head: "It's better to keep a low profile."

James walked all the way to the preparation room at entrance number seven. Thanks to the huge size of the Heavenly Arena, the rooms and corridors here were very tall and spacious, even so empty that it was a little scary.

"Now please prepare the treasures you want to bring into the arena. According to the rules, you can't bring more than three, and they must all be obtained through your own efforts from chaos missions." The staff was a young girl holding a scanning device in her hand: "The function range of the selfless iron law covers the entire arena. If you bring a treasure that does not comply with the rules, you will be disqualified."

"Now, please take out the three treasures you have chosen. Once you enter the competition venue, your treasure box will be sealed."

James looked at the sweet girl and laughed: "Then let me show you my big baby!"

As he spoke, he opened the treasure box and took out the first item.

"This... this is..." The girl was completely shrouded in shadow, and looked at the huge weapon James took out in surprise.

It looked like a mace, with rough workmanship and primitive shape, but the size was really exaggerated, at least five or six meters long. The thinnest handle was as thick as a telephone pole, and the thickest head was as big as a water tank. Every thorn on it was as thick and long as a bull's horn!
James is tall and strong, nearly two meters tall, but in front of this mace, he looks like a bean sprout.

James was very satisfied with the girl's expression. This super-sized mace was a reward for a certain A-level mission. Although it was of rare quality, it was one of his favorite treasures. The reason was simple: it was big enough!

To be fair, the material and special effects of this mace are not inferior to epic weapons. In fact, due to its exaggerated size, the power of its attack and its durability are far superior to ordinary epic cold weapons. However, it is precisely because of its exaggerated size that ordinary people cannot use it at all, which is why this weapon has only received a rare evaluation.

But in James' hands, the effect of this thing is no less than that of the legend!

Bang!

Putting the iron rod weighing more than ten tons aside, James took out the second one with a smile.

When this treasure was first pulled out, it was an iron chain as thick as a wrist, but it kept getting longer and longer. When it was completely taken out, it had formed a small hill on the ground. At the end of the iron chain was a half-meter-long anchor.

Compared with the previous mace, this anchor does not look so exaggerated. It seems to be just the anchor of a small boat. It looks quite long, and the anchor and chain should weigh only about one ton.

The girl was wondering what this thing could be used for, and James took out the third treasure.

This time it looked much more normal, as if it was a belt tied directly around the waist.

After selecting the three treasures, the girl picked up the instrument and pointed it at James: "To prevent you from neglecting anything, I will scan it again. If you find any other treasures, please take care of them now."

After the scan, it was found that James was fine and he only had these three items on him.

"Okay, it's confirmed, you can go on stage." The girl stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.

James looked at the mace weighing more than ten tons and the meteor anchor weighing more than one ton behind him, shook his head and sighed: "It's not easy to carry, so let's start here!"

As he spoke, his vital energy began to circulate, and balls of energy covered his entire body and began to combine with his skin and flesh to form his body. In front of the girl's surprised gaze, his body continued to expand and grow, and eventually turned into a monster that was two or three stories tall, with white hair, a green face and fangs!

"This body is almost done!" James' voice became low. He grabbed the chain with his left hand, wrapped the anchor around his thick forearm, picked up the huge mace with his right hand and carried it on his shoulder. He walked out of Gate No. 7 with heavy steps and entered the stadium.

"Okay, we see that contestant number ten, James, has appeared on stage... Wow, it looks like he has activated his abilities!" said the female host Lina excitedly.

The male host Qiao Fei also nodded: "Yes, we can see that this white-haired, giant ape-like monster is James's transformed appearance. He really deserves his title of King Kong! And the super-standard weapon in his hand is very powerful!"

"I wonder how contestant number nine Luo Jun will deal with such a behemoth. I'm really worried about him..." Lina's eyes suddenly lit up as she finished speaking: "Look, door number one is also open, and contestant Luo Jun is coming out... This is!"

Heavy footsteps were heard from door number one, and then a large mechanical hand grabbed the door frame and pulled out a black and red steel giant!

"This is... a mecha!" Lina shouted, "Contestant Luo Jun came out in a mecha! I thought it was a battle between the big and the small, but I didn't expect that the two sides were evenly matched in size!"

"Does he... still have this treasure?" Xue Lan asked Ling Xin beside her with some surprise.

"I haven't seen it either..." Ling Xin shook her head in astonishment. Luo Jun always brought her surprises every time they met. Who would have thought that he actually had such a powerful weapon hidden in his possession?
"When will the master get new toys?" It was also the first time that Alontan saw the Fury Armor.

"Oh my god, is this a treasure he created himself?" In the stepped screening room of Ningdong College, the school also organized students to watch the live broadcast of the game. When Luo Jun's classmates saw this scene, they all started talking excitedly.

"Isn't he a fake who looks impressive but is weak inside?"

"Just looking at this style, it doesn't look like a rare treasure, it must be at least epic!"

"Everyone says that Xiao Luo has a strong background, but I didn't expect he has such a treasure!"

"Why call him Xiao Luo? He should be called Senior Brother Luo! And according to the rules, he must have earned this by completing the mission himself!" "Oh, right, the Endless Maze! He was the first person to pass the Endless Maze, so he must have received a special reward. This mecha must be it!"

The students were discussing with each other, and the forum was already in an uproar. Although the previous matches were of high quality, with some top players participating, they were all mediocre and unimpressive. This match started with a mecha vs. monster fight, which was really exciting. For a while, the live broadcast room was filled with comments!

On the court, James was a little confused looking at the opponent. He thought that his ability and treasure were perfectly matched. Although he couldn't say that he could win the championship, at least it shouldn't be a problem to survive one or two rounds. He didn't expect that in the first round, which he thought was the easiest, he would encounter such a tough guy?

But it doesn't matter, if it's just a robot, I still have a chance of winning. Look, it has empty hands, but I have weapons. So what if it's a robot? A few hits from me will make your parts fly everywhere!
Just then Mother Saint Andariel in the stands stood up.

As the head nun, she is a core member of the Holy See, second only to the Pope. She is also a powerful immortal. With this strength as a backing, she has become second only to the emperor in the Holy See.

"Next, let me send my blessings to both of you!"

Saint Andariel raised his hands and chanted a spell, and then two soft rays of light fell on the white-haired monster and the furious mecha.

That’s right, Saint Andariel is an incarnation of a sorcerer, and what she just cast was one of her most powerful blessings, the Blessing of Immortality!
The effect is that if the recipient dies within one hour after the blessing is cast, he will be resurrected!
This is also one of the safeguards of the Tianyuan Conference. After all, the participants are all outstanding practitioners and precious talents in the main world. They fight with swords and guns without mercy, and anyone who dies on the stage is a major loss. With the blessing of Nanny, not only can casualties be avoided, but everyone can also let go and exert their full strength without worries!

Of course, such a powerful blessing cannot be used casually even if one has achieved enlightenment. It consumes vital energy, and there are limits on the number of times it can be used each day, as well as the number of people who can receive the blessing at the same time. Of course, in order to ensure the smooth progress of the conference, the organizers must have provided the head nun with sufficient backup support.

After the blessing, the defensive barrier on site was activated and the competition officially began!
"I want to see if that piece of iron of yours can block my mace!" James roared, took the initiative, and swung out the anchor wrapped around his left hand, shooting directly at Luo Jun's furious mecha!
Luo Jun raised his hand to block, but the chain of the anchor was wrapped around the wrist of the mecha, and the chain was wedged into the gap of the armor, hindering movement.

"Got it!" James laughed and pulled the chain hard, only to find that the heavy object on the other side didn't move at all. He simply used the force to rush forward, swung the huge mace, and smashed it towards the head of the angry mecha!

At this moment, the sound of mechanical operation came from behind the Furious Mech. As the mechanical arms behind it unfolded, a large group of originally folded parts were unfolded and aimed at James in front!
It was a six-barreled Vulcan cannon of exaggerated size!
Looking at the six black muzzles, James' heart sank. As soon as the thought of dodging came into his mind, he saw the hand of the furious mecha grip the handle. As the barrel turned, a flash of fire spurted out, and bullets... no, shells poured towards him like a rainstorm!

"White-haired monkey, times have changed!"

"Thud, tug, tug, tug, tug..."

"Shield!" James immediately activated the shield on his belt, and a layer of light blue energy emerged on his body surface. However, facing the terrifying firepower, this energy only lasted for a moment before it shattered. Then, his fur, muscles, and bones were torn to pieces by the steel jet. The huge impact force even pushed him all the way to the edge of the field and hit the indestructible barrier wall!

The Vulcan cannon continued firing for more than ten seconds before Luo Jun finally stopped and put away the barrel, which had already turned red. His right hand, which was entangled in the chain, exerted force, the gap in the armor closed, and the anchor chain was cut off, and it fell to the ground with a clatter.

Looking at James on the opposite side, he was already submerged in rubble, blood mist and dust.

A moment later, a white light lit up, and then the almost naked James rushed out from the smoke and dust, looking around with a confused face.

"What happened? What happened just now?"

"Uh..." Lina looked at Mother Saint Andariel hesitantly. The latter stood up and looked at James: "Player No. 10 has triggered the rebirth effect!"

"In this case, the result is obvious. The winner is contestant number nine, Luo Jun!"

"I lost?!" James didn't even realize that he had just died until he failed and left the game...

The competition ended at an unprecedented speed. When Luo Jun returned to the contestant area, many other contestants cast wary glances at him.

"When did you get another mecha?" Ling Xin leaned over and asked.

"Of course it's to get a good ranking." Luo Jun took out the schedule distributed to the players: "Look, I can get into the top eight with this, right?"

Ling Xin looked at the schedule: "From number nine to sixteen, there really aren't any noteworthy masters. You're pretty lucky."

"I'm lucky!" Luo Jun smiled slightly: "Let me see, you are number 37. If everything goes well, we may meet in the finals!"

"The finals... you're thinking too far ahead!" Ling Xin looked at her own group and sighed: "I'll first consider whether I can make it to the quarterfinals..."

The first two rounds were fine. If nothing unexpected happened, Ling Xin would meet Nikolai from the Hell Creek Family in the third round. This guy was known as the strongest of the younger generation of the Hell Creek Family. Although he had no famous achievements before, Ling Xin estimated that he was likely to have reached the peak level.

At the peak, Ling Xin really didn't give in to anyone. Even if she had to face that Taim again, she had prepared a plan to deal with him. But facing the peak, she really didn't have much confidence...

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Luo Jun also saw Nikolai on the list. Others may not know, but he has fought with this guy before and got several treasures from him.

"Sometimes people are too obsessed with what is in front of them, and they may lose more." Luo Jun comforted him, "As long as you are firm in your belief, then the failure and success in front of you will not be that important."

After hearing this, Ling Xin looked at Luo Jun in surprise. After Luo Jun noticed this, he smiled a little embarrassedly: "This is what my grandfather said. I think it makes sense."

"That does make sense..." Ling Xin smiled in relief: "Thank you, I don't feel so conflicted anymore..."
