Chapter 763: Chapter 766: The Difficult Challenge (Third Update)

Ning Qingxuan came to Lin Zhen’s side, showing a stunning smile.

“Lin Zhen, I am proud of you.”

“Hehe, the battle hasn’t begun this afternoon, and Xuan’er is already proud. What if I lose?”

“It’s no big deal if you lose, Yin Tianhu’s strength is indeed formidable. I just hope you don’t overdo it. If you can’t do it, just give up. You have already perfectly accomplished the task by entering the Yellow Class.”

“Let’s see how it goes, I’ll try my best. Maybe I’ll pass the test again by chance.”

“Yes, don’t push yourself too hard. Your Divine Body is incredibly powerful, almost equal to an Undying Body. I believe no one can kill you instantly. Even if you lose, you can withdraw calmly.”

Ning Qingxuan was very relaxed. In her opinion, Lin Zhen could only fail at most, but there would be no danger to his life.

Lin Zhen remained silent and looked at the match schedule.

There were still no super powerful matchups in this round. For example, people like Mitchell, Dongfang Yu, and Zhao Lihua didn’t encounter each other.

There are only sixty-four people left now, and half will be eliminated, leaving only thirty-two. The few remaining Longevity Stage and a few weaker Three Flowers will undoubtedly be eliminated.

Even if he can defeat Yin Tianhu, his next opponent will undoubtedly be a strong one.

“How long is the interval between the afternoon matches?”

Ning Qingxuan thought for a moment: “There is a ten-minute interval between each match.”

Lin Zhen nodded silently, ten minutes… it seemed he could do something with that time.

*********

“Please rest assured, National Master. I am well aware of Lin Zhen’s strength. He is definitely no match for me.”

Yin Tianhu’s wild red hair made him look fierce and ferocious. He was talking with National Master Qian Tong in the Dimensional Universe.

“Don’t be careless. Lin Zhen has hidden cards up his sleeve. Don’t forget that he is also an Alchemist, and he hasn’t used any elixirs to enhance his Star Power yet.”

Yin Tianhu was taken aback and began to feel a little apprehensive.

Lin Zhen’s current displayed strength is enough to be taken seriously. If he were to consume an elixir as well, it might indeed cause some trouble.

“I’ll give you an elixir that can increase your Star Power by 40% for ten minutes, if you feel any trouble, remember to take it. You must defeat Lin Zhen!”

“National Master… the elixir has side effects, right?” Yin Tianhu was a bit anxious. Even if he defeated Lin Zhen, the side effects would completely block his path to advancement.

“Fool! If you can’t even defeat Lin Zhen, can you advance? Defeating Lin Zhen will at least promote you to the Xuan Class. Don’t you understand this simple logic?”

Yin Tianhu quickly agreed. The National Master was right. If he couldn’t even pass the current round, what else is there to discuss? At least winning one more round would be good.

Soon, someone delivered an elixir to Yin Tianhu.

**********

Two hours passed quickly at noon, and it was time for the afternoon matches to begin.

People from the Qin Kingdom, filled with hope, watched Lin Zhen’s match again.

For the past three days, they had been exhausted, cheering and supporting the other contestants, but no one was able to make them proud.

Watch as one contestant after another gets eliminated by Lin Zhen; their agony was immense.

What could be more painful than watching someone you despise overcoming obstacles and marching forward?

But they were powerless to do anything, only praying that Lin Zhen would be eliminated by a strong opponent. This motivated people from the Qin Kingdom to continue watching.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen’s good luck came to an end as he encountered Yin Tianhu, the first true strong opponent he had faced, belonging to the group of the strongest.

Although there were others with decent strength, they were still far from Yin Tianhu’s level.

This round could be said to be the most hopeful for eliminating Lin Zhen.

The battle time arrived, and the match began.

***********

Lin Zhen was teleported to the stage and looked at Yin Tianhu across from him.

Yin Tianhu’s weapon was a red-hot battle saber, which was also a Spirit Treasure. Most Three Flowers Warriors had already possessed Spirit Treasures at this realm.

Upon stepping on the stage, the two did not speak much and immediately began their fierce battle.

Lin Zhen wielded the Sky-cutting Divine Sword, with lotus flowers blooming around him and elemental power surging, fighting against Yin Tianhu.

This was the first time Lin Zhen had faced such a strong opponent.

Yin Tianhu’s strength was clearly higher than Lin Zhen’s, and Lin Zhen was at a disadvantage from the beginning.

Lin Zhen’s Star Power was 48 million, while Yin Tianhu’s Star Power was almost 70 million. Although Lin Zhen was inferior, it would still be difficult for his opponent to win in a short time.

The reason was simple: Lin Zhen’s Immortal Spiritual Body!

The Snow Lotus on his body could resist damage, and Lin Zhen’s tactic was primarily focused on guerilla warfare, not seeking to kill the enemy, but rather to waste time.

Yin Tianhu was also extremely frustrated. Lin Zhen’s Sky-cutting Divine Sword could resist his saber, ensuring that he would not be severely injured by having his limbs cut off, and he didn’t care about the other minor injuries. Even if his stomach was cut open, it would heal quickly.

This was the strength of the Immortal Spiritual Body. If you can’t kill Lin Zhen quickly, the battle won’t end swiftly. If the battle dragged on, Lin Zhen might even have the chance to make a comeback.

“Damn bastard, do you think you can win against me by relying on stalling for time? Don’t dream! I am not Sha Ping, and I won’t let you drag this on. Die!”

Yin Tianhu’s Star Power exploded, preparing to unleash a big move.

Lin Zhen knew it was a critical moment, and he didn’t want to experience Yin Tianhuo’s ultimate technique. He wouldn’t allow his opponent to release this move.

With a flick of the Sky-cutting sword in his hand, Lin Zhen used the special skill he had just learned.

Black Bone’s Stealing Blow!

One sword aimed straight at Yin Tianhuo’s chest!

This sword was the essence of Black Bone’s life learning, the space distance shortened at this moment, and the power of his whole body’s spirit gathered together, converging the Star Power at one point and exploding it!

If Lin Zhen’s Star Power was close to Yin Tianhuo’s, one sword would be enough to kill his opponent instantly!

However, even though Lin Zhen’s Star Power was more than twenty million less than his opponent, Yin Tianhuo was still thrown into chaos by this sword.

This sword forced Yin Tianhuo to show his bottom card. After several attempts and trying various skills, he managed to evade it but still had a wound left on his chest.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Although it was a minor injury, it interrupted his ultimate technique, and his plan to quickly defeat Lin Zhen vanished into thin air.

The battle once again entered a stalemate. Lin Zhen went all out to fight with Yin Tianhuo and dragged on as much as he could.

Every time Yin Tianhuo wanted to use his ultimate technique, Lin Zhen’s Stealing Blow would be launched. He figured that Yin Tianhuo wouldn’t dare to die with him, making this move effective every time.

All the other ring matches have ended.

Out of the sixty-four contestants, only thirty-three remained, and the thirty-one who advanced were waiting for the outcome of their match.

Although Lin Zhen’s battle was extremely tiring, he also kept an eye on the situation in the other arenas.

After seeing that all the other matches had ended, Lin Zhen immediately swallowed the Divine Power Pill!

Although the Divine Power Pill has side effects, Lin Zhen couldn’t wait any longer. Without it, he would be no match for Yin Tianhuo.

After taking the Divine Power Pill, his Star Power of 48 million skyrocketed to 67.2 million!

This Star Power was close to Yin Tianhuo’s!

Seeing Lin Zhen taking the pill, Yin Tianhuo sneered, “Did you think you were the only one with a pill?”

He too took out a pill and swallowed it!

The effect of this pill was similar to Lin Zhen’s Divine Power Pill, both increasing their power by 40%, causing his Star Power to increase by nearly 30 million instantly.

Just two million shy of 100 million!

Since he had a higher base value, at this moment, the gap between him and Lin Zhen reached 30 million!

“Hahaha! Lin Zhen, I’ve been prepared for this move, now is the time for your real doom!”

Lin Zhen showed no expression and instantly activated Armorization.

At the same time, Lin Zhen used all the means available to him.

Sword Gang, elemental power, gravity, Taiyuan Sword Skill, Star Fall Five Skill, and some personal insights from Black Bone were all used!

When his physical strength could no longer resist, he sent out his Divine Infant.

When the Divine Infant could no longer continue, he used the Stealing Blow!

When his power couldn’t keep up, Lin Zhen would rather run.

When his opponent’s bombardment chased him to the brink, Lin Zhen also unleashed the Snow Lotus, and its petals saved Lin Zhen’s life time and time again.

In any case, Lin Zhen refused to admit defeat and wouldn’t crush the protective talisman. Facing Yin Tianhuo’s furious attack, he stubbornly persisted!

As long as he wasn’t cut in half by Yin Tianhuo, he’d be fine!

With this almost shameless fighting style, Lin Zhen stubbornly dragged on the time little by little!

Many times, the people of Qin Kingdom cheered loudly, thinking that Lin Zhen couldn’t hold on any longer. However, he always managed to persist, and his various battle techniques were beyond comprehension.

Three minutes… five minutes…!

Seven minutes… eight minutes…!

Others didn’t know why Lin Zhen insisted on fighting so desperately, but Yin Tianhuo knew that his pill’s effect would soon fade away!

Lin Zhen was too difficult to deal with, his fighting techniques were varied and creative. Furthermore, he had comprehended various elemental powers, space-time, even domains, and mastered several techniques such as ice, fire, thunder, and light. Yet, he still couldn’t overpower Lin Zhen!

He was confident that he could win in just five more minutes, but time ultimately didn’t favor anyone.

After enduring hundreds of cuts all over his body, Yin Tianhuo was finally forced by Lin Zhen into the tenth minute!

After the ten minutes had passed, the effect of Yin Tianhuo’s pill wore off!

Lin Zhen had been waiting for this moment. His Divine Power Pill was an improved version, the best one available on the market. Even though Qian Tong was a Saint-Level Alchemist, his Divine Power Pill wasn’t as good as Lin Zhen’s!

When the effect of Yin Tianhuo’s pill wore off, Lin Zhen, who had been under the onslaught, decisively used the Stealing Blow!

At this moment, Yin Tianhuo entered a weak period, with his Star Power dropping by 50%. Even more crucially, Lin Zhen’s Star Power did not drop.

That’s why as soon as the pill’s effect wore off, Yin Tianhuo immediately crushed the protective talisman.

With a heart full of unwillingness, he was wrapped in a barrier and exited the arena.

“Lin Zhen! We’ll see!” He yelled through the barrier.

Lin Zhen didn’t even glance at him. After reaching the Holy Land, he wouldn’t care about Yin Tianhuo at all. His only concern now was time.

After fighting for ten minutes and having another ten minutes of intermission, the effect of his Divine Power Pill could last until the next match!
