Chapter 676: 678: Crazy Jump in Rankings! (Third Update)

Xi Zhou Emperor coughed to interrupt Liang Zhihuan’s endless talking, then slowly said, “Brother Liang, it’s such a coincidence this time. I see that quite a few martial artists from our three countries are in the 68th battle zone of the Eastern Continent. What do you think?”

Liang Zhihuan frowned slightly, with thousands of participants from each country, what was the coincidence in being in the same battle zone? What’s special about the 68th zone? Did something happen there?

The other two queens were trying to get Ning Qingxuan drunk, who was not good at socializing, so she could only hold her cup and cope.

However, hearing the words of the Xi Zhou Emperor, Ning Qingxuan couldn’t help but put down her wine glass and cast her eyes on him.

Seeing that his topic caught the attention of this beauty, the Xi Zhou Emperor was even more proud and said loudly, “Our three countries have similar strength in the Original World, and although we are not powerful, our Xi Zhou men are all good. We would never send out cowards who are afraid of fighting and only know how to live a wretched life!”

The Bei Wei Emperor immediately echoed, “Brother Zhou is right, our Bei Wei men are also full of iron and bone. Even if we are no match, we dare to go out and fight!”

Liang Zhihuan took a sip of wine, “Elder brothers, I don’t quite understand your words, are you implying that the people of my Nanliang are cowards?”

“Hehe! Most of your people in Nan Liang are naturally good, like your son, Brother Liang, who is very promising. But you should also pay attention to the selection of participants, not to let a rat spoil the whole pot.”

Xi Zhou Emperor laughed, “As far as I know, isn’t there a martial artist from Nan Liang with zero points? He’s quite famous in the whole Original World.”

“Yes, we’ve heard about it in Bei Wei too. Nowadays, even when martial arts teachers teach their students, they say, don’t just learn martial arts, but also cultivate your own courage, otherwise, you’ll be like that Lin Zhen from Nan Liang, who doesn’t even dare to fight, becoming a negative example, which is really laughable, hahaha!”

Liang Zhihuan’s face changed, and he glanced at Ning Qingxuan.

He originally thought that by using Lin Zhen’s matter and betting with Ning Qingxuan, he would win her heart by winning. However, he didn’t expect that he would lose face abroad.

However, he didn’t feel very embarrassed. If anyone should feel embarrassed, it should be Ning Qingxuan.

Compared to losing some face, completely defeating Lin Zhen and making Ning Qingxuan loathe him more is more important.

In a flash, Liang Zhihuan made up his mind.

“Hehe! I need to clarify this matter. Lin Zhen’s spot came directly from the Alchemist Association. He is a Great Elder of the Alchemist Association. Although he is still a Nan Liang commoner, the Alchemist Association protects him, and I am also helpless.”

Bei Wei Emperor and Xi Zhou Emperor nodded their heads, acknowledging the power of the Alchemist Association, which was not inferior to any empire.

“If this person weren’t part of the association, how could he get a spot with that ability? I would rather kill him than let him lose face. I really made a fool of myself, and I apologize to both elder brothers.”

At this time, the queen of Bei Wei, a beautiful woman, suddenly spoke up.

“Emperor of Nan Liang, my palace has heard a rumor that your current queen knows this Lin Zhen, and it’s said that the two of them were swallowed by a space rift together and stayed together for two years. Is this true?”

Liang Zhihuan’s face suddenly darkened, thinking that bad news really spread far and wide, as this matter was even known to people from other countries.

Inwardly, he hated the informer and wished he could skin and bone them, but now he had to smile, “Wei Queen is overstating things, my wife and Lin Zhen are actually enemies, they were forced to be swallowed together, and it was beyond anyone’s control.”

“Hehe! It seems that it’s true. So, I want to ask Queen Ning, why didn’t you kill such a cowardly person like Lin Zhen while you were in that space together?”

The Xi Zhou Queen also joined in, “Indeed, what’s the use of leaving such a person? It’s humiliating. Does this person have a good-looking face? Or does he have some kind of ability that enchants people and makes the Queen reluctant to part with?”

Facing the difficulties of the two queens and Liang Zhihuan trying to kick her while she’s down, Ning Qingxuan slowly spoke up.

“Lin Zhen is not my enemy, but my benefactor. The matter of Hua Hua Taisui is no secret, and I believe you all know that it was Lin Zhen who killed him. Can I repay kindness with hostility and kill him in the space? Or are you the type of person who would kill for your own reputation? If so, I really wonder how you managed to become emperors and queens!”

Ning Qingxuan, with her beautiful face, had an overwhelming righteousness that made people dare not look straight at her. The confidence of the strong was fully displayed at this moment, and her eyes swept over those people who couldn’t bear to meet her gaze.

Moreover, she wasn’t wrong in not killing Lin Zhen at that time. As for the two of them gradually developing feelings, it was due to Lin Zhen’s meticulous care and the intimacy they shared through the nights over those two years.

Ning Qingxuan had sincerely felt that Lin Zhen’s character and nature were good, which was why she gradually accepted him.

At this moment, those with ulterior motives couldn’t help but suspect Ning Qingxuan and Lin Zhen’s relationship.

Only Liang Zhihuan secretly hated that Ning Qingxuan was completely swayed by Lin Zhen, constantly protecting him.

Fortunately, at this moment, the Xi Zhou Emperor continued, “But it’s undeniable that Lin Zhen still has zero points now, and he is indeed a part of Nan Liang. I’m afraid Queen Ning must have been somewhat blinded back then.”

Ning Qingxuan shook her head slightly, “I trust him.”

The tone was resolute, and the others didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

In the end, it was the empress of Xi Zhou who said hatefully: “Queen Ning, defending a man of another country like this doesn’t fit your status, does it? Moreover, this man is so incompetent, aren’t you afraid that the words you say can’t be taken back, and you won’t be able to save face?”

The others also chimed in, including Liang Zhihuan: “Xuan’er, I know that you see your benefactor in a different light, but you need to be rational, what can Lin Zhen do? Even if he’s disgraced, it’s Alchemist Association’s problem, I won’t take the blame.”

Listening to the constant ridicule of Lin Zhen, Ning Qingxuan kept her head down and remained silent. She wasn’t good at arguing, and facts spoke louder than words. Now that Lin Zhen had zero points, it was difficult to convince others no matter what she said.

Seeing that Ning Qingxuan finally fell silent, the two queens smirked. They had finally found an opportunity to hit her hard. They moved closer to her and kept talking nonstop, becoming more and more vicious and sarcastic, making it hard to listen.

“Lin Zhen…what are you doing?”

Ning Qingxuan felt powerless, and misty tears started to form in her eyes.

On the other side, the Bei Wei emperor pointed at a Domain King of Bei Wei: “Look, our Domain King is also in the sixty-eighth district. He is only a seventh-level Domain King, but now he has more than five hundred points. Although his ranking is not high, he has killed two people. Compared to Lin Zhen, it’s like the difference between Heaven and Earth.”

Saying that, he also displayed the Domain King’s information, introducing him as he spoke.

At this moment, on the rolling big screen, the name of this Domain King suddenly turned black!

Black means being eliminated!

As the emperor was introducing him, he was eliminated. This slap in the face was anything but light.

The Bei Wei emperor’s face immediately turned ugly: “Dammit, what a terrible timing.”

With that, he directly connected to this Domain King’s Dimensional Universe. Because when a martial artist is eliminated, they will be automatically teleported to their own country by divine power, and the Dimensional Universe can already be connected.

The big screen appeared in front of everyone, and the Bei Wei emperor pointed at the screen and cursed.

“What the hell are you trying to pull? You got eliminated just now? Are you intentionally doing this to me?”

The Domain King had just been eliminated and was immediately scolded by the emperor. He didn’t dare to express his grievance and had to complain: “Your Majesty, it’s not my fault. The opponent’s Domain King was too strong. As soon as he appeared, he killed several of us in seconds!”

“Are you trying to deceive me? I heard from people who came out earlier that in your battle area, you have already joined an organization with many people. How could you still be killed in a second by a Domain King?”

“That’s right, that’s right, we did join an organization. Oh! The leader of the organization is Shi Xiaomao, the captain of the Nanliang Imperial Palace Guard. He brought us to kill someone today. We were spotted as soon as we appeared, and that person suddenly attacked. I didn’t even see what happened before I was killed with a single slash.”

“The Nanliang Imperial Palace Guard Captain?” The Bei Wei emperor looked to Liang Zhihuan, seeking an answer.

“Shi Xiaomao? Who did he take you to kill?” Liang Zhihuan asked urgently, could it be that they wanted to deal with Lin Zhen? Then Lin Zhen would be eliminated soon.

“I don’t know! He led us there, and we just went. Oh, someone from Nanliang has also been eliminated, so he should know.”

Liang Zhihuan quickly checked the situation on the Divine Punishment Star. Indeed, two Domain King-level martial artists from Nanliang had been eliminated.

Before he could find the two men to inquire, he suddenly heard Ning Qingxuan’s exclamation.

He looked back and saw Ning Qingxuan covering her red lips with her white, jade-like hand, her beautiful eyes full of excitement. The joy she emitted could be felt from far away.

A sense of foreboding suddenly surged in his heart, and he looked back at the rankings of the Divine Punishment Star, only to see a series of numbers that surprised him.

Lin Zhen, who previously had zero points, now had three thousand five hundred! Ranking 706,885 in the sixty-eighth battle area!

“This… this…”

Before Liang Zhihuan could finish speaking, Lin Zhen’s ranking skyrocketed again!

The points went from three thousand five hundred to four thousand three hundred, and his rank was 674,598!

From four thousand three hundred to six thousand one hundred, his rank was 587,901!

And it kept jumping from six thousand one, and it kept rising!

It was still going up like crazy!
