Chapter Fifteen: Will History Repeat Itself? No!

  Just out of Marvolo's garden and less than a hundred meters down the alley, Rolen encountered another annoying thing.

  That gang leader who was beaten by Luo Lin once again blocked his way. This time, he gathered a large group of people, at least fifteen, almost blocking the alley. Their equipment also had a small upgrade, from wooden sticks with basically no lethality to deadly weapons like bone-cutting knives.

  "Rolin, you're not leaving here today!" The leader growled viciously.

  This time, he wasn't the leader. He was standing next to a burly man with a shaved head, who was at least 1.95 meters tall. The man's oily and shiny head had a green wolf tattoo on it, and he held a heavy bone-cutting knife in his hand, looking extremely ferocious.

  Rolin knew him, this burly man nicknamed Wild Wolf, was one of the three major henchmen under Marfo. Many people on the dock had been taught a lesson by him, and he was also very ruthless when it came to dealing with others, never showing any mercy. Once you were taught a lesson by him, you would definitely end up with broken bones and torn tendons, and losing an arm or leg was not uncommon either.

  He glared at Luo Lin with his bulging eyes, raised the bone-cutting knife in his hand and pointed it at Luo Lin's nose. With a fierce laugh, he said: "Today, I'll stand up for my brother. You, leave one arm behind, then kneel down and knock three loud heads on the ground, and I'll let you pass!"

  Luo Lin took off the wooden shield on his back, grasped the short steel sword in his hand, and sneered: "A group of clowns! And you, you shouldn't be called Wild Wolf, you should be called Wild Dog!"

  He now has a 3rd level body, his strength has reached 11 points, more importantly, he is fully equipped and has obtained a shield, which allows him to unleash even more combat skills, and even if he faces fifteen opponents, he is not afraid at all.

  In a melee among ordinary people, having more numbers is an absolute advantage, but for experts, there are many times when this advantage may not be effective, especially in such a narrow alley less than five meters wide.

  The wild wolf was very dissatisfied with Luo Lin's attitude. He was used to his opponents kneeling in front of him begging for mercy, not looking at him with such disdainful eyes. A low growl rumbled in his throat as he raised his bone knife and said to the younger brothers around him: "You guys don't come up yet, this kid has enraged me, I want to kill him with my own hands!"

  His reaction delighted Luo Lin, and the law of stimulation took effect.

  That's exactly what he wants, the wolf's character has some rumors, this rough man is most worshiping martial arts, he relies on martial arts to stand firm at the dock, when his martial arts are provoked by his opponent, he will be eager to prove his own strength.

  Now Luo Lin jumped out with just one sentence, like a fish on a hook. This kind of person is really nothing to be afraid of.

  The lone wolf was about to go solo, when a nearby thug whispered, "Brother, this kid is fierce, it's safer if we take him down together."

  He was reminding out of kindness, but the wild wolf thought that this guy doubted his martial power and coldly snorted: "You dare to doubt my strength?"

  "Be careful, big brother."

  "Scram!" The wild wolf didn't listen at all.

  Luolin continued to provoke him, humming a cold laugh: "I guarantee that after a while, you will be kneeling on the ground begging for mercy from me!"

  "You little brat, you're looking for death!" The wild wolf's eyes immediately turned bright red, he felt that Luo Lin was hateful to the extreme, let out a loud roar, and rushed towards Luo Lin with his two bone-cutting knives raised high, vowing to chop his opponent to death.

  "Come on!" Luo Lin lowered his body and charged forward, one hand holding a shield in front of him, the entire vital part of his body hidden behind the shield, the short steel sword blade stuck to the shield and hidden, like a poisonous snake hiding in the grass, ready to pounce out at any time to give the enemy a fatal blow.

  The two sides were only thirty meters apart, and in just over three seconds, they collided.

  "Bang!" The bone-cutting knife chopped onto the Mongolian hard wooden shield, emitting a huge and dull sound.

  At this moment, Luo Lin felt a surge of power pressing towards him. Roughly estimating the wolf's strength to be over 15, far surpassing his own.

  "Target: Wild Wolf. Power Estimate: 16." The Intellect also provided relatively accurate data at the same time.

  For this point, Luo Lin was well-prepared. In the instant he felt an overwhelming force coming his way, the shield in his hand slightly tilted and activated the Shield Technique: Deflection.

  Skewed.

  Tilt the shield at an angle to deflect the opponent's attack and avoid taking damage.

  Additional effect: May cause opponent to lose their footing.

  Luo Lin, as a shield warrior, had used this move countless times and was extremely familiar with it. At this moment, the shield's surface tilted slightly, and he felt the power on top of it rapidly weakening, to the point where it wasn't even comparable to an ordinary person's attack.

  The force of the blow was too great, and there was only one possibility for this to happen: the wolf was too enraged, determined to kill Rolen with a single strike. The force of the slash was deflected, and his center of gravity shifted along with it.

  Luolin's heart was filled with joy, the shield in his hand slightly retreated, and then suddenly pushed outward again, launching another shield technique: Collapse Mountain!

  The name of this combat skill sounds quite domineering, to put it simply, it's using a shield to ram into people, but when ramming, you need to use certain techniques to make the impact force rich and explosive, forming a 'collapse like an arrow' swift effect.

  In his previous life, Luo Lin used a shield to unleash the Collapse Mountain technique. The mountain wouldn't collapse, but small-scale stone-built city walls could easily crack and form fissures.

  With a loud crash, the shield burst out and directly knocked open the Wild Wolf's scattered force Bone Cutter, then heavily crashed into his ribs.

  "Uh~" Luo Lin heard a involuntary gasp from the Wild Wolf's throat, which was caused by his lungs being severely compressed. It can be predicted that he is now suffering from internal bleeding in his lungs. If he doesn't go and rest immediately but continues to look for people to fight with, then he will definitely die within a year.

  The wolf was already off balance, and then it suffered a crushing blow from the mountain. At this point, the whole person stumbled sideways, unable to stand upright, just like being drunk.

  This is a battle, especially when facing an experienced opponent like Luo Lin, it's basically a dead end.

  Luolin took advantage of the opportunity to launch a surprise attack, and the sword blade hidden behind the shield suddenly stabbed out, stabbing towards the wild wolf's heart.

  But at the last moment, Luo Lin changed the direction of his sword and stabbed towards his shoulder again.

  He didn't want to kill indiscriminately, because as long as one side kills, it means there's no turning back, resulting in an endless cycle, which is not wise.

  With a "whoosh", the sword blade entered the flesh, this time Luo Lin's strength was sufficient, the sword blade entered the flesh cleanly and swiftly, then quickly withdrew the sword, because the speed was too fast, the blood on the sword didn't even have time to drip.

  Then, Luo Lin and the wild wolf passed each other. The wild wolf fell to the ground, covering his chest with a loud cough, almost choking on his own blood, before spitting out a mouthful of bloody phlegm onto the ground. Then, he sat there, panting heavily, one hand covering the wound on his shoulder, trying to get up, but after struggling for a while, he couldn't do it, the burning pain in his chest making it impossible for him to gather strength.

  This made the wild wolf extremely frustrated, losing with just one move. The strength he was proud of didn't play any role at all, and he couldn't understand it.

  Luolin's face didn't flush, his breathing didn't quicken, and his expression remained completely unchanged. Looking at him, it was as if nothing had happened just now.

  ...... The hooligan leader swallowed his saliva, in fact, the other hooligans in the alley were doing the same, their eyes wide with excitement.

  "Girl, this is too much."

  "The big brother wolf fell to the ground at once."

  "How do I play this?"

  The hooligans were blocking the alley, neither dispersing nor fighting, but rather at a loss for what to do.

  The wolf on the ground caught his breath and asked Lorin in a hoarse voice, "Why didn't you kill me?"

  He clearly saw the process of the sword tip turning towards him, and that one sword was originally stabbed at his heart.

  Luolin disdainfully spoke to him, didn't even bother to reason with him, turned around and calmly said to a group of hesitant thugs: "Get out of the way, my sword doesn't want to be stained with blood again."

  This time, he didn't make a stern face or thunderous roar, but this calm demeanor gave Di Chu a tremendous amount of pressure.

  The thugs were stunned for a few seconds before silently making way, they didn't dare to provoke this guy anymore, the advantage of numbers couldn't bring them a sense of security.

  Luo Lin still held his sword and shield in hand, remained vigilant as he walked through the middle passageway, all the way out of the alley entrance, before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

  Luckily these guys were all cowards and didn't gang up on him. If they had attacked together just now, he wouldn't have been defeated but would definitely have gotten hurt.

  As he walked out of the alley, he seemed to hear some noise from inside, someone was shouting something about "Wild Wolf Brother", probably that guy had gotten into some kind of trouble again, or maybe he had even fainted, but all this had nothing to do with him anymore.

  Luo Lin didn't bother with him, and walked towards Davie's villa in strides while checking the messages about the improvement of various combat skills in his mind, feeling very happy.

  This proficiency is an indicator that represents the degree of support for his physical fitness to launch various combat skills. Naturally, the higher the proficiency, the higher the support degree, the greater the power of launching combat skills, and the faster the speed.

  "Luolin, don't run away! Stop right there!"

  Just after leaving the alley and entering the flow of people on the main street, Luo Lin heard someone shouting his name from behind. The voice was hoarse and seemed to be suppressing some kind of pain.

  Luolin felt a sense of unease in his heart, turned his head to take a look, and found that the wolf had actually caught up with him. His face was pale, his forehead covered in cold sweat, one hand clutching at his chest, his steps somewhat unsteady, as he half-walked, half-ran to catch up.

  "What are you following me for? Looking to die?" Luo Lin was very surprised. Had this guy's brain gone bad?

  "My brother and I came to find you to fight to the death... huff... huff... but I know I'm not your match, I have something to say to you." The Wolf's words sounded even more absurd because of his injured lungs, every short sentence he spoke was followed by a pause to catch his breath.

  "Go on." Luo Lin didn't mind listening.

  "Malfoy...huff...wants to kill you, because he knows you killed Trunn...that assassin in the alley...huff...I know, because I was the one who collected the body." The wild wolf spoke while holding a bone-cutting knife that swung towards Rolen, but this blow was weak and powerless, obviously just for show, for the brothers behind him to see.

  Luolin easily dodged and then kicked the wild wolf to the ground. The news of the wolf made his heart surge with shockwaves, after kicking the wolf down, he looked at him with a complex gaze, wondering why this person wanted to help him?

  But now there's no time to explain, Luo Lin threw a peach to repay the plum: "Take good care of your injury, don't move around too much, you'll be fine in a month."

  After finishing speaking, Luo Lin turned around and left. About 50 meters later, he looked back and saw that the wild wolf had already been lifted up by his brothers and carried away.

  Luo Lin immediately quickened his pace. He didn't go directly to Davie's villa, but instead turned around and went to the Herbal Alley in the commercial district.

  If the rumors about Fenrir are true, then it means that Malfo should be the one who destroyed the cult... Oh god, his words just now have already implicated Davy in this... This is so similar to the plot of our past life's mission!

  In his past life, he investigated Davy's death cause. It was because Davy sent someone to investigate the Dark Elf camp and then obtained some secrets. Afterwards, she was silenced by a mysterious person overnight. Although the details are different, the overall trend is almost a replay of the game plot!

  Luolin suddenly felt a little frightened: "Zhi Nao, can't I change anything that has happened in the past? Is everything in vain?"

  Then how can he go save Vianna?

  "Error. You have altered what was once history. The degree of change is so small because your power is too weak, and the time you entered this world is too short."

  ".....I understand." Luo Lin was jolted awake, he had to think of a way to deal with this crisis, absolutely cannot let history repeat itself!

  The situation is extremely critical, and an assassination attempt on him, or even Davy, could be launched at any time, he must be prepared.

  The power increase brought by ordinary level-ups is no longer enough to cope with this crisis, and since time is running out, he must rely on potions to gain a temporary burst of strength.

  Not... it's not just a burst of power, he also wants to concoct some poison.
