Chapter 764: Chapter 767: Enemies Often Cross Each Other’s Path! (4th update)

After the hard-fought victory over Yin Tianhuo, Lin Zhen had advanced to the final 32.

This was a very glaring sight – thirty-one Three Flowers Warriors and Lin Zhen, the World King, had no doubt hurt many eyes and hearts.

Making it to the final 32 meant advancing to the Xuan Class, something nobody had expected.

Under the stage, those who were watching were seething with anger.

“That bastard Lin Zhen is in the same class as me now, fine, just wait until you get to the Xuan Class, see how I deal with you!”

A top of the Blue Whale, Qian Tong was almost furious enough to personally eradicate Lin Zhen.

“No! Absolutely cannot let this kid continue. If he enters the Heaven Class or Earth Class, it would be even more challenging to deal with him later, I must take actions.”

**********

Supporters cheered, enemies remained silent, but the draw had to proceed.

With only thirty-two people, the draw was quickly completed.

Lin Zhen didn’t expect to draw a weaker opponent, in fact, there were no weak ones left now.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But seeing the result of the draw, he found it extremely coincidental.

This round he was actually against Zhao Lihua from the Nanliang Qingye Sect!

When Zhao Lihua saw she had drawn Lin Zhen, her icy face revealed an excited expression.

“You little stinker! It really is true that enemies often cross paths. This is karma, your karma has come!”

After seeing that Lin Zhen’s opponent was Zhao Lihua, Ning Qingxuan’s expression immediately changed.

“Lin Zhen, that’s enough, you’ve already entered the Xuan Class. Forfeit this round, you’re absolutely no match for my ancestor.”

“Oh! Xuan’er, you have so little faith in me?”

“It’s not that I don’t have faith in you, but I know my ancestor. She has been in the Three Flowers Realm for many years now. Even Yin Tianhuo just now would not be her match. In my view, among all the warriors here, she stands the chance to rank in the top five or even the top three!”

Seeing Lin Zhen unmoved, Ning Qingxuan anxiously said, “Do you know her star power has reached 80 million, how can you win?”

Lin Zhen smiled, “There may still be a slim chance.”

Seeing Lin Zhen’s obstinate appearance, Ning Qingxuan sighed.

“You’re always like this, always liking to challenge and breakthrough, I can’t persuade you anymore, but you must promise me, no matter what, don’t let anything unexpected happen.”

“If I can’t even do that, there is no need for me to fight on this stage anymore.”

Lin Zhen sat down right there, he had used up much energy in the last fight and suffered many injuries. This was the time to recover, he didn’t have time for anything else.

**********

Zhao Lihua was very pleased to have drawn Lin Zhen.

Firstly, she particularly hated Lin Zhen, she resented him for killing the Three Iron Granny Sisters and even made off with Ning Qingxuan, the future leader of the Qingye Sect.

If she could take down Lin Zhen in this round, she considered it avenge.

Secondly, she felt that Lin Zhen has almost exhausted all his techniques, although he had continuously created miracles, he was as good as spent. All these Three Flowers Warriors were hoping to draw Lin Zhen, the World King in this round.

Whoever draws Lin Zhen is practically guaranteed to enter the Earth Class.

The Xuan Class and the Earth Class are completely different concepts. Among the eight classes, The Heaven Class and Earth Class are considered in the same tier, the Xuan Class is much worse off. If she can become a Earth Class student, Zhao Lihua is confident that, even if she can’t enter the Heaven Class this time, she will surely upgrade to Heaven Class in the future martial arts competition.

As long as her luck in the last round is not too bad, drawing against contestants like Mitchell, Dongfang Yu, Sun Yidao, she will definitely make it to the Heaven Class!

Once she passes this obstacle smoothly, success is just one step away!

The thought of learning the Holy Land Martial Arts, and breaking through the Three Flowers Realm, filled Zhao Lihua with overwhelming emotions.

Just then, someone calling her from behind.

Zhao Lihua turned around and saw a man wearing a black robe, waving at her from not far away.

“Who is that?”

The robed man discreetly showed his face, then quickly hid it back under his robe.

But that quick reveal shocked Zhao Lihua considerably.

Because this man was none other than the National Master of the Qin Kingdom, Qian Tong!

Although she was the supreme leader of the Qingye Sect and at the peak of the Three Flowers Realm, she was no match for someone like Qian Tong, a Three Flowers Warrior.

Qian Tong was the National Master of Qin Kingdom, a Holy Land Warrior, and a Saint-Level Alchemist!

No matter from which aspect, Zhao Lihua was not in the same league as Qian Tong. Moreover, she wasn’t familiar with Qian Tong and She didn’t know why the other party came to find her.

However, she dared not neglect. Seeing that Qian Tong didn’t want to be seen by others, she quietly walked over.

“Master, what do you need from me?” Zhao Lihua politely asked.

Qian Tong spoke to Zhao Lihua, “How sure are you in your battle against Lin Zhen?”

After pondering for a moment, Zhao Lihua wanted to say ‘completely sure’, but she changed her mind and said instead, “Eighty percent sure!”

Qian Tong shook his head slightly, “Not enough. Don’t think Lin Zhen has no tricks left. He hasn’t used his Black Hole Beast transformation yet, you should know about this move.”

Lin Zhen’s information was not a secret. He had used the Black Hole Devour many times, so others naturally knew about it.

Zhao Lihua nodded, “That’s what I’m worried about.”

“That’s what also I’m worried about. We can’t lose this fight no matter what. Here, accept this, keep it well and use it during the battle.”

As he spoke, Qian Tong handed the mountain range transformed from the planet to Zhao Lihua.

“This is…?”

“This is my treasure. Lin Zhen’s Black Hole Beast transformation also requires time. With this object, suppress him with Gravity Field, his speed will decrease, and if you don’t give him the chance to transform the Black Hole Beast, you will surely win.”

Upon hearing this, Zhao Lihua immediately accepted Qian Tong’s mountain range.

“If so, then I shall take it. Thank you, National Master, for your kindness.”

“Don’t be polite, as long as we can get rid of Lin Zhen, this is nothing. You advance successfully, and I also vented my anger, but there is one thing you have to promise me, that is during the fight, do not let Lin Zhen leave the platform alive.”

“I can’t absolutely guarantee this, but I will definitely do so.”

Qian Tong didn’t say anything else, he tightened his black robe and then turned and left the crowd.

He had just said he was going to relieve himself. The arena is about to start, and he can’t be away from the blue whale for too long.

Pinching the mountain range in her hand, Zhao Lihua slightly closed her eyes.

“Lin Zhen, indeed the wicked will perish by their own schemes. Even the National Master of the Qin Kingdom wants you dead, how can you still survive? This time I am lucky, not only can I get rid of you, but I also got to know a Saint-Level Alchemist, after many years of hard cultivation, I finally see hope of success!”

**********

Lin Zhen is making use of every moment to recover his strength.

At this moment, his Star Power is higher than ever, over 67 million Star Power, even Longevity Warriors cannot reach this height.

“The next battle is against Zhao Lihua, I can imagine this fight will absolutely not be easy, but I have to give it a try.”

“If successful, I will enter the Earth Class, if I fail… No, failure is not an option, I can fail anytime, but facing Zhao Lihua, I absolutely cannot lose!”

In his internal world, the chill of the Ice Snow Lotus rippled slightly.

This chill was also one of Lin Zhen’s protective treasures. Whenever his body was injured, where the chill reached, the blood would not flow out, preventing any impact due to excessive blood loss.

He is now making the most of every moment to treat his injuries, while also trying to comprehend the cold aura.

Having an extra trick, would give him an extra boost of confidence for the battle.

That Lin Zhen could persist till now was due to his rich fighting skills. If the enemy could defend against this, they could not defend against another one.

The battlefield over there, was Falling Star Lake.

With every passing moment, there was less than five minutes left until the start of the combat.

“What’s that over there?”

A huge Fireball descended from the sky in the distant heavens.

That was a star falling.

If we are only talking about distance, that fireball was at least several hundred thousand kilometers away, or even a million kilometers.

Under normal circumstances, no one could see it from such a remote distance, but those who could see it could only testify how huge that fireball was!

It was a star!

A Constant Star!

Falling Star Lake Holy Land has this peculiar scenery where every day, stars fall from the sky into the lake.

However, falling constant stars were relatively rare.

If it were on Earth, this constant star would have burned Earth to a cinder, not to mention falling down.

Yet in Falling Star Lake, with its diameter reaching hundreds of billions or even trillions of light years, the constant star was just a small fireball, hardly causing any ripple.

People took a few glances and then turned their eyes back to this Holy Land side, where the imminent competition was more exciting to watch.

Only Lin Zhen, his eyes followed the falling of the Constant Star until it disappeared from his field of vision.

“Constant Star… So that’s how it falls.”

His mind was empty, as if he had gained some insight.

**********

The battle to advance to the top 32 had finally begun.

The continuous three-day battle in the Holy Land was nearing its end, this was the sixteenth round of the knockout.

Because of Lin Zhen’s existence, all the ace players had been overshadowed.

Not only here at Falling Star Lake had been overshadowed, but the simultaneous selection at the other three Great Sacred Lands had also been overshadowed. Among all four Great Sacred Lands, only Lin Zhen had made it to the top 32 as a World King!

Apart from Lin Zhen, both Twin Trees Garden and Locking God Platform each had a Longevity Warrior making it to the top 32. People from these two sites were even talking about geniuses, but here at Falling Star Lake, the appearance of a World King making it to the top 32 had shocked everyone.

Lin Zhen was rather well-known in the whole original world, but no one expected that he, as a World King, could make it this far in the adept-filled Holy Land.

Almost all the cameras were pointed at Lin Zhen, watching to see if he could create another miracle.

The countdown ended, time was up!

Lin Zhen, who had been sitting still, let out a breath, and his eyes sparkled with an intimidating brilliance.

The next moment, he had been transported to the arena.

Appearing on the platform at the same time as him was Zhao Lihua from Nan Liang.

A match full of countless highlights officially kicked off!
