Ning Qingxuan came to Lin Zhenâs side, showing a stunning smile.
âLin Zhen, I am proud of you.â
âHehe, the battle hasnât begun this afternoon, and Xuanâer is already proud. What if I lose?â
âItâs no big deal if you lose, Yin Tianhuâs strength is indeed formidable. I just hope you donât overdo it. If you canât do it, just give up. You have already perfectly accomplished the task by entering the Yellow Class.â
âLetâs see how it goes, Iâll try my best. Maybe Iâll pass the test again by chance.â
âYes, donât 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.â
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 didnât 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.
âHow long is the interval between the afternoon matches?â
Ning Qingxuan thought for a moment: âThere is a ten-minute interval between each match.â
Lin Zhen nodded silently, ten minutes⦠it seemed he could do something with that time.
*********
âPlease rest assured, National Master. I am well aware of Lin Zhenâs strength. He is definitely no match for me.â
Yin Tianhuâs wild red hair made him look fierce and ferocious. He was talking with National Master Qian Tong in the Dimensional Universe.
âDonât be careless. Lin Zhen has hidden cards up his sleeve. Donât forget that he is also an Alchemist, and he hasnât used any elixirs to enhance his Star Power yet.â
Yin Tianhu was taken aback and began to feel a little apprehensive.
Lin Zhenâs current displayed strength is enough to be taken seriously. If he were to consume an elixir as well, it might indeed cause some trouble.
âIâll 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!â
âNational Master⦠the elixir has side effects, right?â Yin Tianhu was a bit anxious. Even if he defeated Lin Zhen, the side effects would completely block his path to advancement.
âFool! If you canât even defeat Lin Zhen, can you advance? Defeating Lin Zhen will at least promote you to the Xuan Class. Donât you understand this simple logic?â
Yin Tianhu quickly agreed. The National Master was right. If he couldnât 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 Zhenâs 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 Zhenâs 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 Tianhuâs 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 Tianhuâs 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 Tianhuâs strength was clearly higher than Lin Zhenâs, and Lin Zhen was at a disadvantage from the beginning.
Lin Zhenâs Star Power was 48 million, while Yin Tianhuâs 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 Zhenâs Immortal Spiritual Body!
The Snow Lotus on his body could resist damage, and Lin Zhenâs 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 Zhenâs Sky-cutting Divine Sword could resist his saber, ensuring that he would not be severely injured by having his limbs cut off, and he didnât 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 canât kill Lin Zhen quickly, the battle wonât end swiftly. If the battle dragged on, Lin Zhen might even have the chance to make a comeback.
âDamn bastard, do you think you can win against me by relying on stalling for time? Donât dream! I am not Sha Ping, and I wonât let you drag this on. Die!â
Yin Tianhuâs Star Power exploded, preparing to unleash a big move.
Lin Zhen knew it was a critical moment, and he didnât want to experience Yin Tianhuoâs ultimate technique. He wouldnât 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 Boneâs Stealing Blow!
One sword aimed straight at Yin Tianhuoâs chest!
This sword was the essence of Black Boneâs life learning, the space distance shortened at this moment, and the power of his whole bodyâs spirit gathered together, converging the Star Power at one point and exploding it!
If Lin Zhenâs Star Power was close to Yin Tianhuoâs, one sword would be enough to kill his opponent instantly!
However, even though Lin Zhenâs 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.
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 Zhenâs Stealing Blow would be launched. He figured that Yin Tianhuo wouldnât 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 Zhenâs 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 couldnât 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 Tianhuoâs!
Seeing Lin Zhen taking the pill, Yin Tianhuo sneered, âDid you think you were the only one with a pill?â
He too took out a pill and swallowed it!
The effect of this pill was similar to Lin Zhenâs 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!
âHahaha! Lin Zhen, Iâve been prepared for this move, now is the time for your real doom!â
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 couldnât keep up, Lin Zhen would rather run.
When his opponentâs bombardment chased him to the brink, Lin Zhen also unleashed the Snow Lotus, and its petals saved Lin Zhenâs life time and time again.
In any case, Lin Zhen refused to admit defeat and wouldnât crush the protective talisman. Facing Yin Tianhuoâs furious attack, he stubbornly persisted!
As long as he wasnât cut in half by Yin Tianhuo, heâd 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 couldnât hold on any longer. However, he always managed to persist, and his various battle techniques were beyond comprehension.
Three minutes⦠five minutesâ¦!
Seven minutes⦠eight minutesâ¦!
Others didnât know why Lin Zhen insisted on fighting so desperately, but Yin Tianhuo knew that his pillâs 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 couldnât overpower Lin Zhen!
He was confident that he could win in just five more minutes, but time ultimately didnât 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 Tianhuoâs 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 wasnât as good as Lin Zhenâs!
When the effect of Yin Tianhuoâs 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 Zhenâs Star Power did not drop.
Thatâs why as soon as the pillâs 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.
âLin Zhen! Weâll see!â He yelled through the barrier.
Lin Zhen didnât even glance at him. After reaching the Holy Land, he wouldnât 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!
