Around the world, people stared anxiously at the big screens on the streets.
Because the qualifying match was about to end, yet several popular War Gods still had not advanced, nor had they been eliminated, leaving everyone in the dark about what they might be up to.
The first to note was Su Mingyue. Star Sky Divine Teaching was not only in Hua
Xia, it has followers worldwide. As the Saintess of the Divine Sect, Su Mingyueâs popularity was global.
Although there were also saintesses in other countries â whose strength and beauty stood out â they seemed insignificant compared to Su Mingyue. Especially after the proliferation of the internet in recent years, the promotion of the Gods Clan grew stronger, leading to an increase in Su Mingyueâs popularity and even inspiring a trend among young people to follow the Gods
Clan.
Aside from Su Mingyue, Chris and Alice also had quite a bit of popularity in the
European Union.
Alice was a well-known beauty in the European Union, with plenty of fans.
Chris, who was previously unknown, rose suddenly in this qualifying match. Her stunning beauty naturally attracted a lot of attention.
Despite her face being obscured by a black mask, people strongly believed she was an absolute beauty, which sparked even more curiosity. It would be a real pity if she could not advance.
However, at this moment, many people were focusing on Lin Zhen as well. This controversial character had never been quiet from the start. Belittled by the Sand Russians, he responded fiercely. First, he killed the Far Eastâs Adolf, and then he killed Lanslow in front of Huo Luofu.
Just now, he even killed the last of the three Sand Russian warriors, Kip. Thus far, all the Sand Russian warriors had been wiped out, and the only remaining advanced expert from Sand Russia was Huo Luofu.
If Lin Zhen couldnât advance, it would be a real pity. Many people even looked forward to his challenge against Huo Luofu in the War Godâs Knockout. That would undoubtedly be very exciting.
However, the large screens had been quiet for a while. There remained only over a thousand people in the Heaven Garden, with the majority already giving up on advancing and instead searching for gemstone fragments.
Another message flashed: âCongratulations to the War God XXX from Mumbai,
India, for advancing. Currently, there are only six advancement positions left.â âOnly six remaining, oh my God, is someone bound to be eliminated?â
âGod bless, my Saintess must advance.â
âGo, Chris! You are the hope of the European Union!â
âLin Zhen, what are you doing, you jerk? We are waiting for you!â
âHa ha ha! Lin Zhen is finished. Iâm so happy. If you cannot advance, killing any number of people is useless. Go cry with your gemstone fragments!â
The large screen once again flashed another message: âCongratulations to the War God XXX from the United States on advancing. There are now only five advancement positions left.â
People barely had time to register their surprise when another message rolled across the screen: âCongratulations to the War God Alice from Madrid Base City in the European Union, there are now only four advancement positions left.â
Aliceâs advancement relieved some people in the European Union. However, the more popular Chris hadnât yet advanced, which caused concern amongst some people.
In the garden cottage, Chris glanced at the few remaining spots behind her, turning to Su Mingyue next to her and said, âNow, other than you and me, there are just two spots left. Are you still waiting for Lin Zhen?â
âI will wait for him.â Su Mingyue said with conviction.
A strange look appeared in Chrisâs eyes as she hesitated a moment before saying, âSaintess Su, do you love Lin Zhen?â
Su Mingyue thought for a second: âDoes wanting to be with him forever count as love? I donât know.â
Chris rolled her big, blue eyes at Su Mingyue: âWhat do you think, does Lin Zhen love you?â
Without hesitation, Su Mingyue nodded. She had never doubted this fact.
Faced with Su Mingyueâs candidness, Chris remained silent for a moment. After a while, the last spot was taken by someone else. Counting the two of them, there was only one person left to fill the advancement position.
Chris stood up and walked toward the last position. Before she prepared to leave, she told Su Mingyue, âIâll leave these two spots to you. Donât give them to anyone before Lin Zhen arrives. My naive girl, let me teach you something today; if you love him, then be with him. I trust that Lin Zhen wouldnât want to advance at the cost of your elimination. Because aside from your lover, nobody else merits your attention and sacrifice. Youâre the saintess of the Gods Clan; kindness is embedded in your nature. However, at times, some matters exceed kindness in importance.â
Watchinq Chris walk toward the last position, Su Minqvue finallv nodded at
her: âI think you make sense.â
âI hope you can do it. Goodbye. I promise weâll meet again and itâll be for a very, very long time.â
And with that, Chris disappeared.
The system alerted again: âCongratulations to the War God Chris from Paris in the European Union, there are currently only two advancement positions left.â
After Chris advanced, Su Mingyue stood in front of the two remaining positions, awaiting Lin Zhenâs arrival.
However, the next person who entered was not Lin Zhen, but a War God from Hua Xia.
This person also came from the Capital Base City. He ran into the garden cottage and on seeing the two available spots next to Su Mingyue, he sprinted over.
âSaintess Su, Iâm so glad to meet you here.â
Seeing Su Mingyue, he immediately displayed excitement. This woman was a goddess who resided above the clouds; getting a glimpse of her was usually hard enough, let alone meeting her in this virtual world.
Su Mingyue nodded in acknowledgment: âHello, but these positions are taken.â
The War God was taken aback, then said, âIsnât there another spot?â âThe other one is reserved for someone else.â
âHow can that be? The person hasnât even arrived yet. Itâs first come, first served. This spot should be mine. As a Saintess of Divine Sect, how could you do such a thing? Itâs unfair to everyone else!â
This War God was very confident. He was a fan of Su Mingyue, convinced that he understood her. As long as he pressed her with reason, she would certainly give in.
But to his surprise, this time Su Mingyue didnât back down.
With a slightly flushed face, Su Mingyue bit her red lips lightly: âNot this time.â
âWhy not? Have you forgotten the teachings of the Gods Clan? How did the
True God of the Stars teach you? How can you act like this and still be a
Saintess?â
Su Mingyue shook her head: âReally, I canât this time. I must reserve this spot, please leave.â
âHuh! Just because you say I should leave doesnât mean I will. Go ahead and try to have me removed,â the War God said, before heading straight for an empty seat, fully believing that Su Mingyue wouldnât dare attack him.
Nevertheless, Su Mingyueâs face became freezing cold, a long sword appeared in her hand and she targeted the War God for a thrust.
But before her sword could strike, a rainbow ray shot through the air, piercing the War Godâs back and eliminating him from the competition.
Su Mingyue turned around to see Lin Zhen approaching, he greeted her with a smile, âYueâer, youâve made progress this time, understanding some trade-offs. But you shouldnât sully your hands over people like him. Itâs better if I take care of it.â
While looking at Lin Zhen, Su Mingyueâs eyes were filled with longing and a crystalline tear formed at the corner of her eye.
âYueâer, whatâs the matter? Iâve arrived, havenât I? I think it wonât be long before we meet once the War Godâs Knockout ends.â
Su Mingyue quietly nodded. When Lin Zhen was close enough, she leaned gently against him. She did not even want to advance immediately. After being apart for so long, it was too difficult to get to see each other, even in this virtual world, it felt extremely precious.
Smelling Su Mingyueâs fragrant hair, feeling the warmth of the woman in his arms, Lin Zhen took a deep breath, âYueâer, why are you so decisive this time? I thought that based on your character, youâd rather be eliminated than hurt others. â
âSomeone taught me some principles,â Su Mingyue answered.
âwho?â
âA foreign woman. She told me that if you like someone, you should be with them. You surely wouldnât want me to be eliminated just to secure your advancement.â
Lin Zhen nodded, âSheâs right. You should thank her.â
âHmm, I think weâll meet again.â
âAlright, itâs about time. Letâs hurry up and advance. If we keep occupying the last two spots, others will talk.â
Su Mingyue nodded and left Lin Zhenâs embrace. Seemingly remembering something, she said to Lin Zhen, âIâve advanced to a Dark Gold Spiritual mind master.â
âThatâs amazing! Congratulations, my dear Yueâer.â Lin Zhen looked at her charming face, couldnât resist pinching her cheek.
Su Mingyue let him pinch her cheek and then whispered, âWhen you were at the Star Fruit Tree, did you advance to Dark Gold?â
Lin Zhen nodded, âYes, I found a Spiritual Power Star Crystal there. After absorbing it, I advanced to Dark Gold.â
Su Mingyueâs face grew even redder, her ears becoming somewhat transparent. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Zhen, and murmur like a mosquito, âThen you⦠then youâ¦â
Lin Zhen looked back and sensed that people were approaching the Garden Cottage again. He quickly took Su Mingyueâs hand, âBehave, Yueâer. Letâs stop talking and advance quickly. We have people coming and we donât want any trouble.â
With that, he took Su Mingyueâs hand and they sat down on the two reserved seats.
Just as they were about to fade away in a flash of white light, Su Mingyue leaned over and brought her beautiful face close to Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen happily closed his eyes. He thought Yueâer couldnât resist kissing him this time. This was a first â he must relish this moment.
However, instead of kissing him, Su Mingyue revealed two rows of pearly white teeth and bit hard on Lin Zhenâs neck!
âAh! Yueâer, you!â Lin Zhen cried out in pain. Turning to Su Mingyue, he saw her looking at him with unprecedented fury before she disappeared from his view.
Having advanced, Lin Zhen also disappeared from the Garden Cottage.
In the next moment, Lin Zhen opened his eyes and found himself at home.
He instinctively touched his neck, found no wound; virtual world damage wouldnât carry out into the real world.
Suddenly he was struck with a realization, Lin Zhen was startled.
Then, he burst into a smile: âLuckily, it happened in the virtual world, or Yueâerâs punishment would have been more severe. It seems I got caught in my mischief.â
The street screen scrolled: âCongratulations to Su Mingyue of Gods Grace
Cathedral, Hua Xia, for advancing. One spot still remainsâ¦.â
âCongratulations to Lin Zhen of Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, Ice City Base City, Hua Xia, for advancing. All advancement spots have been filled. The elimination round begins in three months. All War Gods who received Gemstone Fragments, please log in to redeemâ¦.â
