Chapter 37 Is This Guy a Pervert or What?!-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.)

At this moment, neither Duli nor Zhong Wuyan on stage had the slightest awareness that a heated discussion had already erupted among the judges about their team. They remained utterly entranced, unable to react under Lin Han’s overwhelming power.

“We have to break this deadlock!” Hu Sheng’s brows drew together as he shouted, “Zhong Sanqian, once more!”

Without hesitation, Zhong Sanqian unleashed her earlier technique again. At the same time, Hu Sheng began to chant:

“The three thousand great worlds are written in my paintings.
Wonders manifest within the school of carp.
O revered God of Painting, I am your most devout follower—grant me the power to rewrite heaven and earth!”

Suddenly, a wooden brush materialized in Hu Sheng’s hand. He drew a circle in the air, aiming it at Lin Han.

At that instant, Lin Han was about to evade Zhong Sanqian’s silken threads, oblivious to the sorcery at play. Without warning, an invisible barrier enclosed him. The fine silken threads wound their way to his feet.

Now, Lin Han was like a trapped beast, locked firmly in place.

Hu Sheng laughed softly. “You didn’t expect this, did you? I am an artist—this brush in my hand can do many things. Lin Han, this technique is called ‘Circle of Imprisonment.’ You can enter but never leave. Duli’s arrows can pierce in, but the one inside can never escape.”

Duli didn’t hesitate upon hearing this. Though her earlier archery had left her somewhat drained, her companions had provided her with another opening. She had to finish Lin Han.

“All things align, thirty million lives arise.
All things connect, I am the axis.
O revered God of Arrows, I am your most faithful follower—grant me the power to pierce all things, bestow upon me the accuracy to strike any target!
A thousand arrows, let fly!”

With a furious cry, Duli unleashed her ultimate technique. This time, she was at her peak, no longer holding back as she had before.

“Lin Han, let’s see where you run now!”

Lin Han looked at their excited faces, a hint of resignation in his eyes. What of bindings? What of circles of imprisonment? What of a thousand arrows unleashed?

Before the gaze of all present, Lin Han threw a single punch and stepped forward.

“Give up, Lin Han,” Hu Sheng boasted. “This ‘Circle of Imprisonment’ isn’t something you can break so easily! I’ll admit, your strength exceeds any warrior I’ve ever met, but if you think you can shatter my barrier, you’re not worthy yet!”

But just as Hu Sheng and Zhong Sanqian felt victory within their grasp, cracks began to spider across the very spot where Lin Han’s fist had struck the barrier.

In an instant, fissures spread across the entire ‘Circle of Imprisonment.’ The silken threads beneath Lin Han’s feet shattered in turn, as if the whole scene were playing in reverse.

Not only did the two challengers falter; most of the audience could no longer sit still.

Was this even human? He didn’t even use any technique—just brute force alone, and he broke both the barrier and the bindings!

Some of the priests in the audience grew visibly excited. Was this something even a priest could accomplish?

Before everyone’s eyes, Lin Han strode out of the shattered ‘Circle of Imprisonment.’ Facing the rain of arrows hurtling toward him, he displayed astonishing agility. With the aid of the Eye of God, every trajectory was clear as day to him.

“This can’t be—this guy’s a monster!” The three challengers’ composure utterly collapsed. In the previous round, they had all been victors, proud of their own power. But compared to Lin Han, their efforts were nothing but child’s play.

This was raw, unadulterated force—a true display of the beauty of violence.

How could anyone fight against this?

Despair set in instantly. This opponent was nothing like any they had faced before. From start to finish, Lin Han hadn’t uttered a single chant, hadn’t used a single skill. He had simply overpowered them with sheer physical strength and technique.

At last, Zhong Sanqian could bear it no longer. Raising her right hand, she declared, “I quit! There’s no way to fight a monster like this. You two can keep going if you want, but I surrender. Fighting against a freak is just asking for trouble.”

With that, without a second thought, she left the stage, deeply shaken.

Hu Sheng gave a bitter laugh and raised his hand as well. “I’m done too. This is a monster, not a man—whoever wants to fight him can have at it.”

In the end, only Lin Han and Duli remained on the stage, facing each other.

Lin Han couldn’t help but admire Duli’s courage. Even after the others had been frightened away, she stood her ground.

“Why did you two run so fast?” Duli burst out angrily—she had only just recovered from the shock of what had happened, and the other two had already fled the arena, leaving her to face Lin Han alone.

Face this freak alone? Not a chance.

“Referee, I surrender!” Duli announced decisively, leaving the arena without looking back.

At last, Lin Han was left standing alone on stage. Events had unfolded almost too quickly for even him to process.

“This guy…” The referee was at a loss as well. Who could believe that such a monster was merely a priest?

“Winner: Lin Han!” the referee announced at last.

“Lin Han, please step down and rest. Congratulations on advancing to the next round.”

“Thank you,” Lin Han replied politely. “I hope to see you in the next match.”

Good heavens, thought the referee, I’d rather not! He was grateful the three opponents had fled this time—had he faced a few reckless lunatics, things would have gotten ugly.

Lin Han left the arena. Returning to the spectator seats, he noticed Wang Qiang was absent. Looking around, he saw that Wang Qiang had already begun his own match.

Targeted!

Wang Qiang was being targeted!

After his performance in the last round, Wang Qiang had also become one of the favorites. Like Lin Han, he was immediately ganged up on by the other three contestants, becoming the first they aimed to eliminate.

But after witnessing Lin Han’s battle, Wang Qiang was now more composed and experienced. The silk-thread deck in his hands was wielded with remarkable skill, and for a moment, he even had the upper hand against the other three.

Seeing this, Lin Han felt no need to worry about Wang Qiang. Instead, he began studying other potential opponents. Though none posed a real threat to him, he had to at least put on an act—after all, he was now shining far too brightly.
