Chapter 226 - 226: 226: She Comes from Paris
Foreigners who disliked Lin Zhen were on the verge of tears.
Was Lin Zhen specifically here to slap them in the face?
They said that the Hua Xia representatives might be eliminated first, but Lin Zhen eliminated Adolf, one of Sand Russia’s three warriors, obtaining First
Blood and successfully slapping Sand Russia in the face for their prior insult.
They then accused Lin Zhen of hiding like a timid turtle, but Lin Zhen suddenly had a massive breakout, achieving god-like kills and tying with Chris for the first place on the leaderboard.
After being scolded by Lin’s fans, those who disliked him finally found a reason to criticize him — Lin Zhen only knew how to bully the weak. However, they ended up being slapped in the face again.
This time, the one he bullied was definitely not weak. Mario from Seattle is very famous, a Level Nine War God and a Spiritual Mind Master. By killing him, Lin Zhen even left Chris behind, claiming the first place on the leaderboard.
More importantly, Mario had three Middle Grade Star Artifacts — a Middle Grade Spiritual Defense Star Artifact, a Middle Grade Star Armor, and a Middle Grade Star Long Knife.
With these three Star Artifacts in hand, Mario was nearly invincible. Yet, he was still defeated by Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen, a nobody, defeated the second Hall of Fame member in the virtual world.
This time, the people of the United States were slapped in the face, and they
tirmly remembered Lin Zhen, the young man trom Hua Xia.
Lin Zhen was only twenty years old, one of the youngest participants.
In this War God’s Knockout, there were only three participants who were under twenty years old. One of them was Lin Zhen, another was Su Mingyue, and the last one was Chris from the European Union.
Chris had already proven her strength in battle, while Su Mingyue was an exception as the Saintess, so no one wanted her to kill without restraint.
Of course, no one dared to criticize Su Mingyue. They would definitely be annihilated by her fans.
Seeing Lin Zhen’s incredible performance now, people all over the world began to wonder if all War Gods who reached this level at the age of twenty were this crazy.
As for Shen Yuhua and Lei Ming, they were one or two years older than Lin
Zhen. Even if they were twenty, no one would care about these fake War Gods.
At this moment, the number of Lin Zhen’s fans skyrocketed by hundreds of millions, and the internet was full of praise. Those who disliked him were completely silent, unable to find any more faults in Lin Zhen.
There were still some people who sourly said that killing ten thousand people would be useless unless he advanced to the next round. They were looking forward to Lin Zhen being eliminated, as that would be their celebration. However, no one dared to hold much hope for that. Seeing Lin Zhen’s strong performance, it was almost impossible for him not to advance.
Some people hoped that a more powerful Hall of Fame member would join and eliminate Lin Zhen. This seemed to be the only hope they had.
Inside the virtual world, Lin Zhen retrieved the liquid metal long spear from Mario’s body.
As expected, Hall of Fame members had extraordinary abilities. Facing Lin Zhen, Mario displayed his strength as a Hall of Fame member.
This man had a Middle Grade Spiritual Defense Star Artifact on him, as well as a Lower Grade Star Armor and a Middle Grade Star Long Knife. He fearlessly engaged in a battle with Lin Zhen.
Moreover, he was also a Spiritual Mind Master at the Dark Gold Early Stage. Prepared, Lin Zhen’s Mental Shock couldn’t deal much damage to him. This man’s fighting spirit was extremely resolute, clashing with Lin Zhen without losing ground.
Having a Middle Grade Spiritual Defense Star Artifact, Lin Zhen’s several teleportations were disrupted by Mario, who even gained the upper hand for a while.
Seeing that this was not going well, Lin Zhen decisively changed his approach. After several unsuccessful stabs with the Tyrant Spear, he thought Mario had the upper hand. Lin Zhen decisively used the liquid metal, suddenly switched to another spear, pierced the Star Device Armor, and defeated Mario.
Mario never dreamt that Lin Zhen could suddenly switch spears. The Lower
Grade Star Armor could not withstand the attack of the High Grade Celestial Device, so he fell with just one strike and died, eliminating him from the competition.
Lin Zhen won and took a deep breath of relief.
With the popularization of Star Artifacts, Hall of Fame members had excellent equipment. Middle Grade spiritual defense star devices could effectively resist Lin Zhen’s Mental Shock.
Even if equipped with Lower Grade Star Artifacts, it would be difficult for Lin Zhen’s Mental Shock to defeat the opponent in one blow if they were also a Spiritual Mind Master. They would need to spend a lot of effort.
In the end, it all came down to sheer power. Lin Zhen realized his current strength through this battle.
As a Fifth Level War God, he had no difficulty dealing with ordinary Primary and Intermediate War Gods. He could easily defeat an ordinary Advanced War God.
Only those Advanced War Gods who had compressed their Dantian energy several times and also had Spiritual Defense Star Artifacts would he T.in Zhen’s
true opponents.
Especially Hall of Fame members who were just over a hundred people from around the world, Lin Zhen’s strength among them was not outstanding, only average or below.
Fortunately, Lin Zhen still has time, as it’s only the preliminary round now. If he can make it through the preliminaries, he will have three months to train before the knockout round, which will decide who the king of the platform is.
When Mario died, a large number of gemstone fragments flew out and landed on Lin Zhen.
After counting his spoils from the battle, Lin Zhen was overjoyed.
He now had a total of 210 red gemstone fragments and 30 blue gemstone fragments, totaling 240 pieces.
His gains from this battle were even more than a day of sweeping and weeding.
“Twenty-one lower-grade star artifacts and three middle-grade star artifacts; this time’s harvest is not small. It’s just a pity that there aren’t many yellow gemstone fragments here. If I want to get high-grade star artifact fragments, I must go to the Flower Sea.”
Although Lin Zhen’s consumption was not small, the power of Radiance was still quickly restoring his Dantian Qi, so he didn’t need much rest. He went directly through the gap in the fence and entered the Flower Sea.
In the Flower Sea, a cherry blossom was in full bloom, and two women were resting on the flower. The first one had golden hair, a sexy, eye-catching figure, and ocean-blue eyes, she was Alice.
Next to Alice was another woman, also with golden hair, wearing a metal mask that covered most of her face, leaving only sapphire-like eyes and luscious red lips. Her skin appeared to be that of an Easterner, particularly white.
Although only half of her face was exposed, the delicacy and curvature of her face seemed to surpass Alice’s, possessing the softness of an Eastern beauty and the stunning attractiveness of a Western woman. It made people eager to explore the truth beneath the mask.
“Miss, there’s something stuck on your hair.”
Alice reached out and removed a bit of debris from the hair of the person called “Miss.”
“Oh, I didn’t feel it…” Miss adjusted her golden hair.
“I never thought I would meet you here in the Flower Sea, Miss. You are truly amazing, ranking first on the Killing List. I admire you to death!” Alice looked at Miss with stars in her eyes.
Miss, known as Chris, hail from Base City in Paris. Hearing Alice’s words, her beautiful red lips curled slightly: “It’s alright, I’ve also given it my all. People like Huo Luofu probably haven’t put in their full effort yet.” “I think you have the strength to fight Huo Luofu.”
“It’s difficult. Huo Luofu can single-handedly kill S-level Mutated Beasts, which is something I can’t do right now.” Chris shook her head slightly.
“That’s because you are still young, Miss. When you reach Huo Luofu’s age, your achievements will definitely surpass his. I have never seen a Martial Artist with more talent than you.”
Chris smiled: “There are too many talented Martial Artists, and I am not the only young one. For example, the Divine Sect Saintess Su Mingyue, her potential is absolutely strong.”
Hearing this, Alice hesitated: “Miss, I think you are paying too much attention to Su Mingyue. Indeed, Su Mingyue is a rare genius, but you shouldn’t belittle yourself. You are now a Dark Gold Stage Spiritual Mind Master, a natural Divine Speedster, and in the London God Generals Training Camp, you completed the Nine Layers Compression in two years and advanced to the Fifth-level War God in less than a year. I think you are the most outstanding genius.”
“The definition of a genius is not that simple. I didn’t know I had this potential before, and I didn’t want to lose to anyone, including Su Mingyue,” Miss said. “Miss, you haven’t lost to her. Your talents should be similar, and Su Mingyue is merely…in the words of Easterners, the most bewitching vixen. Although I haven’t seen your true face, I think you must be no worse than her,” Alice consoled her.
“Hehe, if I go with what you said, then I’ve become a vixen too, right?”
“Oh! No! Miss, I didn’t mean that. I mean…sometimes a vixen is not a derogatory term,” Alice explained clumsily.
“I understand. Just like you said, I do pay attention to her…l guess. From a woman’s perspective, she indeed deserves the attention,” Chris did not deny it.
Alice saw that Miss did not seem very happy, so she didn’t continue the topic and casually looked at the virtual system.
“Ah! Miss, you have been surpassed!”
“Really? Was it Huo Luofu who surpassed me? Or Ai Er?” Chris asked.
“Neither. It’s an Easterner named Lin Zhen,” Alice answered hesitantly.
Chris was stunned: “Is it him? The person from Ice City who went on a mission privately with you and Hansen?”
“It should be. If there’s no other Ice City War God with the same name, and besides, he’s so young, seemingly of a similar age to Miss. People like that are rare.”
Chris was stunned for a while, and it took her a long time to say: “Another 20-year-old genius. But I won’t lose to you, be it you or Su Mingyue..”
