Chapter 754: Chapter 757: The 9th Round Begins! (3 updates, 1900 monthly tickets added)

This dual cultivation session brought great benefits to both Lin Zhen and Ning Qingxuan.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Originally, Lin Zhen broke through to the Sixth-level World King and lit up the Po Jun Star, increasing his Star Power to about forty-one million.

However, after dual cultivating with Ning Qingxuan, he directly advanced to the Seventh-level World King, and the Light Snow Lotus and Ice Snow Lotus successfully separated.

With forty-eight million in Star Power, Lin Zhen was at his strongest ever. By this estimation, when he reaches the Level 9 World King, his Star Power could exceed fifty million.

Although Xiao Se was difficult to deal with, the battle-hardened Lin Zhen didn’t care. The previous difficulty in combating him with conventional means was due to the large difference between their Star Powers, but a gap of less than ten million was no longer insurmountable for Lin Zhen.

His Dark Gold-level Spiritual Power swept through his inner world, and on the North Pole of the Dark Star, the Twin Snow Lotus swayed gently.

Lin Zhen’s Spiritual Power focused on the Ice Snow Lotus, and a dense freezing air enveloped it.

“It’s so cold! The true chill of this Snow Lotus must be close to absolute zero!”

“Although I don’t have time to truly master this low temperature, the Snow Lotus can cover the cold air when attacking, definitely producing unexpected results.”

After practicing a few times, Lin Zhen roughly grasped the use of the cold air.

Just as the limit of the flame is bright cyan, the limit of ice is absolute zero, with a temperature of minus 273.15 degrees.

The temperature of the cold air Lin Zhen could control at this moment was around minus 220 degrees, which was already quite powerful.

Exhaling slowly, Lin Zhen’s gaze fell on Ning Qingxuan next to him.

Apparently, Ning Qingxuan had also just finished her cultivation. She initially wanted to put on her clothes right away, but when she felt Lin Zhen waking up, she became shy and didn’t dare to open her eyes.

All her infinite beauty fell into Lin Zhen’s eyes.

From a girl transforming into a woman, Ning Qingxuan radiated endless charm. Even though Lin Zhen was accustomed to stunning beauties, he couldn’t help but be captivated.

“Xuan’er….” His voice was a little hoarse.

Hearing this, Ning Qingxuan shivered and dove headfirst into the quilt: “I don’t want to hear it!”

Lin Zhen laughed and immediately pounced on her: “I was too focused on cultivation just now and didn’t properly appreciate the experience. Let’s do it again.”

“No… Ah!”

A moan echoed through the room.

*********

Only 4,096 people were left to participate in the afternoon battles. Before the fight between Lin Zhen and Xiao Se, there were still several pairs of Martial Artists who had to fight.

By this point, it was already the ninth round of battling. None of those who could make it this far were mediocre.

These Martial Artists came from all over the Original World and were cultivators with countless years of experience. Each had incredibly strong techniques and hidden cards. In previous battles, they might have held back, but at this moment, they held nothing back.

First, advance to the tenth round!

One after another, experts with awe-inspiring strength appeared.

First, a huge upset occurred among the Martial Artists with the number 3, as a dark horse named Mitchell, belonging to the Angel Clan, eliminated one of Qian Tong’s seed players.

This Martial Artist was an Archangel with black wings, a fallen angel!

Fallen angels were considered heretic and rebellious in the Angel Clan, but these angels often possessed astonishing potential.

Angels were already a super combat race, belonging neither to the Human Clan nor the God Clan, nor the Star River Giant Beast Clan. They were born for battle, possessing unparalleled advantages compared to other races.

Mitchell was in the Three-Flowers Early Stage, and with his astonishing strength and a Black Thunder Longsword, he made Qian Tong’s Three-Flowers Middle Stage super expert spit blood and flee within one minute! He advanced to the tenth round forcefully!

His opponent for the tenth round trembled when he saw him, completely losing the will to fight.

It could be said that the fallen angel Mitchell was the first Martial Artist to secure a place in the Holy Land in advance.

Even Jin Nuo, who had always maintained an unruffled demeanor on the Blue Whale’s back, studied Mitchell carefully, apparently feeling that there might be more to him than just entering the Holy Land.

On the contrary, Qian Tong’s face was extremely unsightly, as one of his seed players had been eliminated.

Following Mitchell, more and more formidable Martial Artists made their strong debut.

Ranked number 6, Dongfang Yu from the Da Han Empire, surprisingly eliminated another one of Qian Tong’s seed players and advanced to the tenth round.

Dongfang Yu’s weapon was an iron fan, and he was also in the Three-Flowers Early Stage. Previously, he had played it cool until suddenly exerting force at this moment, catching everyone off guard.

Then strong Martial Artists like Zhao Lihua also advanced one after another, making the battles even more intense.

As one round ended and the second round of battles was about to begin, Lin Zhen still hadn’t appeared.

*********

Qian Tong’s face was extremely ugly. He had originally planned to secure at least ten spots in the Holy Land, but two of his seed players had been eliminated, and the rest had withdrawn in advance. This meant that at most, eight people from his faction could advance.

Moreover, the competition wasn’t over yet, and he didn’t want any more surprises.

“Xiao Se, only your battle with Lin Zhen is left in the ninth round. I need you to guarantee advancement, understand?”

“Please rest assured, National Master. At noon, I already tested Lin Zhen’s strength. He’s absolutely no match for me.”

“That’s good. It’s better not to leave him alive!”

Qian Tong, for the first time, revealed his killing intent. Lin Zhen had caused him to lose a considerable amount of face, and he wanted to eliminate him.

********

Just as the martial arts competition began, Lin Zhen still hadn’t appeared.

People around were starting to talk.

“Where did Lin Zhen go? We’ve been waiting for this match all the time.”

“Yeah, he’s been so arrogant for two days, and finally, he met someone who can control him, and now he’s gone.”

“Haha! This time Lin Zhen is really done for. Did you see the video of Xiao Se and Lin Zhen fighting just now? If it weren’t for the beautiful girl suddenly coming to save Lin Zhen, I’m afraid Lin Zhen would have been beheaded on the spot.”

“He’s lucky. That beauty must be Ning Qingxuan. Is she helping Lin Zhen escape right now?”

“It’s hard to say. If it was someone else, I wouldn’t believe it, but Lin Zhen is a complete scoundrel. It’s not surprising what he could do. Maybe he’s already run thousands of miles away.”

“Quick, check if there’s any record of him leaving the country. If he runs away, we have to catch him and bring him back, no matter where he goes!”

“Don’t be silly, the license plate has a tracking function. He can’t escape until the fight is over. Just be patient and wait.”

As the people of Qin Kingdom tried to vilify Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen’s supporters continued to cheer him on.

Although the situation was extremely unfavorable, everyone’s eyes were firm. They believed in Lin Zhen and believed that he would create miracles over and over again, just like in the New World.

********

As the competition was about to begin, Lin Zhen finally arrived, looking relaxed.

With a radiant face, Lin Zhen greeted his supporters as he arrived at the ring.

“I’m sorry to have kept you waiting!”

Long Juetian and the others stared blankly at Lin Zhen, feeling that he seemed a bit different from before.

In the morning, Lin Zhen was still a Fifth-Level World King, but after going out for a while during noon, he became a Seventh-Level World King.

Although he appeared calm, the joy in his eyes was undeniable. He seemed happier than an ordinary person who had won a lottery.

“Brother Lin has advanced, why is he so happy?” Zhao Xiaoman asked in surprise.

Zi Qianxia beside her curled her lips: “Definitely didn’t do anything good.”

Zhao Xiaoman pondered for a moment, and her face turned red for some reason.

“Boss, I thought you ran away!” Ni Ke, the dwarf, was carried over and asked weakly.

Seeing Ni Ke’s condition, Lin Zhen felt a surge of anger.

Xiao Se had gone too far, provoking him before the battle and injuring his friend Ni Ke.

Ni Ke had been on many adventures with Lin Zhen, and they were considered old friends. But to Xiao Se, Ni Ke was just an ordinary martial artist, not worth mentioning. His arrogant attitude thoroughly enraged Lin Zhen.

“How are you feeling now?” Lin Zhen asked.

“It’s fine, I’m tough. I’ll recover in a day. But Boss, you have to be careful. That guy is too strong.”

“You just focus on healing, and watch me take revenge for you.”

Ni Ke nodded heavily. She believed in Lin Zhen, even more than she believed in herself.

After talking, it was time for the ring match, and Lin Zhen was teleported to the ring.

Seeing Lin Zhen on stage, the audience burst into boos as usual. This time the people of Qin Kingdom were fully energized, unlike the previous rounds when they lacked confidence. This time, they were fully confident.

Ignoring the surrounding boos, Lin Zhen looked up at his opponent.

National Master Qian Tong recommended seed player, a superb expert at the Three Flowers Realm, and the one who just provoked him, Xiao Se!

At this moment, Xiao Se also looked at Lin Zhen, with a deep expression of ridicule on his face.

“It seems you understood what I said just now, knowing what to do before you die. Did you do something with that beauty just now? Are you unregretful now?”

Lin Zhen pulled out his Sky-cutting Divine Sword, “Xiao Se, I thought you were a worthy opponent, but it turns out you’re just someone who talks big. It seems like I won’t have any problem advancing in this round.”

“Hahaha! Shameless boasting! I said at the beginning of the Holy Land selection that I would not use more than twenty swords in this battle. So far, I’ve used thirteen swords. If it weren’t for that beauty saving you, you would have been dead by now, and those three swords, I’m sure you’ll remember them for the rest of your life! Now, I can tell you, defeating you would only take three more swords!”

Lin Zhen sneered coldly, “You’re good at bragging, now take this!”

Suddenly raising his hand, his domain appeared!

Lin Zhen hadn’t used his Tianhe Territory for a long time. It was a large-scale group killing skill, but during high-level duels, the domain power was usually too slow to deploy.

Now with 48 million Star Power, he could condense dozens of planets in the blink of an eye!

As soon as the domain appeared, all the planets rushed towards Xiao Se at high speed!

Tianhe Star Explosion!

Countless exploding planets rushed towards him, and even Xiao Se had to be careful.

He swung his long sword repeatedly, knocking down the incoming planets one by one.

“Haha! You’re really out of ideas to use this move against me, Lin Zhen!”

Before his laughter ended, Lin Zhen sneered, “How many swords have you used now?”

Xiao Se’s face stiffened, and his face turned ugly. Just now, he had used dozens of swords in that moment alone.

Without waiting for him to say anything, Lin Zhen was already in front of him with his hands wielding his sword: “Are you done? Now taste your Uncle Lin’s sword technique!”
