Chapter 252 : Chapter 252 : Second Attack on Lin Zhen (Third Update)
It was the United States’ Duke against Hua Xia’s Xin Rughai.
Coming from Sand Russia, Huo Luofu faced Hua Xia’s Tang Wenbo.
From the European Union, Chris faced the Hua Xia’s Duo Long.
The African Union’s Bogba fought Hua Xia’s Ma Yao.
From Brazil, it was Sang Ji against Hua Xia’s Wei Li.
As for Lin Zhen’s draw this round, he drew an unknown Brazilian War God.
The battle began, and in the audience, many Brazilians were cheering for their War God. Lin Zhen hit him with a Mental Shock, directly causing brain death for the Brazilian War God who was not wearing a mental defense Star Artifact and eliminating him from the competition.
The sound of that battle hadn’t even completely ended, and the fight was over. Lin Zhen advanced to the top 256.
Lin Zhen didn’t care about the others, took off his helmet, and immediately watched the other matches.
Among the five battles, the African Union’s Bogba and Ma Yao’s match was the first to end. Under the opponent’s onslaught, Ma Yao held on for about two minutes, losing somewhat embarrassingly.
Following Ma Yao’s defeat was Wei Li, losing to Brazil’s Sang Ji, and not having much of a fight. Ice Gale’s two players both finished at 512.
However, the other three fights greatly excited Lin Zhen.
Dragon Slayer Academy’s Xin Rughai faced the former runner-up Duke without fear. At one point, he seemed to have the upper hand, but Duke had a secret technique that Xin Rughai could not defend against.
Duke had a nickname, Silent Duke, and he had a powerful tactic called the Resistance Space, which was very tricky.
No matter who was in his Resistance Space, even the air was compressed, making it hard to move. Xin Rughai fought Duke inside the Resistance Space, and with multiple injuries, he eventually stabbed Duke in the abdomen with a flying sword before elimination under Duke’s tenfold resistance.
Similar to Xin Rughai’s situation, Demon Capital’s War God, Tang Wenbo, faced
Huo Luofu and performed extraordinarily. Despite being under pressure from the gravity field and almost having his bones shattered, he stood up and cleverly used the moment when the opponent’s gravity shifted to launch an attack, giving Huo Luofu a heavy blow.
The injured Huo Luofu angrily wanted to tear Tang Wenbo apart, but Tang Wenbo didn’t give him a chance. Knowing that he would not get another opportunity, Tang resolutely committed suicide with his sword.
This scene moved many Hua Xia people to tears. Both Tang Wenbo and Xin Rughai received high praise for their efforts. Although they failed, they did not disgrace Hua Xia.
After that, Chris’s match against Duo Long was somewhat uneventful. The two struggled for more than ten minutes, with Duo Long losing by a small margin. He performed pretty well.
However, Lin Zhen found this match somewhat strange. Duo Long had not exerted his full strength, and Chris seemed to have hidden a lot as well, making him feel a little uncertain.
Regardless, after this round, the main Hua Xia contenders still fighting in the War God’s Knockout were Lin Zhen and Northwest Military Martial Arts’ Feng Ni. The world was cheering for the downfall of Hua Xia.
Although Su Mingyue was also from Hua Xia, no one thought she had any competitive strength. After all, she had received a bye in the first round, and her previous opponent was just an ordinary African War God. Su Mingyue fought her opponent for quite some time before winning but didn’t cause any serious harm. People generally believed that the Saintess was just a vase.
After the top 256 were announced, the next round of advancing to 128 had no real focus battles. All the strong players eliminated their opponents and advanced.
The following 128 to 64 were similar, with no battles between strong fighters, but the weak ones were basically all eliminated. Su Mingyue had not encountered any strong opponents and smoothly advanced to the top 64.
However, at this point, there would be no more weak opponents in the future rounds. The 64 to 32 would feature contenders who were mainly from the Hall of Fame. Only those who passed this round would be considered the top War Gods in the world.
People were eagerly awaiting the next round’s draw to see what the matchups would be.
In the War God Alliance’s headquarters, the leaders of the United States, Sand Russia, and the European Union gathered again.
The United States leader spoke first: “This time’s event has been a huge failure. We shouldn’t have arranged Omar to face Lin Zhen from the beginning. It not only failed to block him but also allowed him to gain great popularity.”
“Don’t worry too much. The competition in Hua Xia is now down to just a few people, and their failure is not far away.” The European Union leader said.
“Hmph! Don’t be so confident. I think Lin Zhen might ruin our plans. My opinion is that he must not advance to the top 32 at any cost. We must eliminate him in this round. As long as he is eliminated, the remaining Feng Ni and Su Mingyue won’t be able to cause any trouble.” The United States leader’s insistence caught the attention of the other two.
The European Union leader said, “How do you plan to arrange it? Why not arrange Lin Zhen to face Huo Luofu? That way, he would definitely be eliminated.”
Before the United States leader could respond, the Sand Russia leader disagreed: “This is absolutely impossible. Huo Luofu is the only one from Sand Russia to advance so far. He cannot take any risks. Is there no one from all the countries in the world who can snipe Lin Zhen?”
The European Union leader spread his hands: “There are many people, but the chances of success are slim. If Huo Luofu can’t be arranged, then the United
States’ Duke may have a chance. His Resistance Field has a similar effect to Huo
Luofu’s Gravity Field and should be able to snipe Lin Zhen.”
Unexpectedly, this was opposed by the United States leader: “For the same
reason as Sand Russia, currently, there are not many competitive people in the United States. Whether or not we can achieve good results depends on Duke.
This relationship ranks our country, and Duke cannot take risks.”
“This can’t be done, and that can’t be done, then who do you suggest? There’s not much confidence in anyone else.” The European Union leader leaned back in his chair and said.
At this moment, the United States leader smiled, “I do have one candidate who might be able to play a surprising role.”
“Who?” The other two asked simultaneously.
United States pointed to the promotion list, “It’s her.”
The two people looked and it turned out to be Chris from the European Union.
The head of the European Union frowned: “This may not be very suitable. Chris is also the hope of the European Union, and her strength to snipe Lin Zhen seems to be a bit inadequate. There is no greater certainty than Huo Luofu and Duo Ke. You guys are not going to waste another opportunity, are you?”
The head of the United States laughed: “You guys only know one thing but not the other. In my opinion, this Chris has the highest chance of sniping Lin
Zhen.”
“Why do you say that?” The other two asked.
“Hehe, do you know who transferred the 40 billion to Lin Zhen?” the head of the United States said.
“Who? Isn’t it Hansen from the European Union?”
“No, Hansen has only a few money, he has no such ability.”
“Could it be Alice, who is Hansen’s superior? We all know that they belong to the same killer organization called Nightingale, which was created by Old John. ”
“It’s not Alice, it’s this woman called Chris. I just found out today that she transferred 40 billion to Lin Zhen through Hansen’s hands, which allowed Lin Zhen to get the Seven Stars Knife. So, I think there may be some unknown relationship between them.”
The head of the European Union was suddenly a little angry: “Isn’t Chris’s act betraying the European Union? Absolutely intolerable, I agree to arrange her and Lin Zhen in one group. Not only that, if she dares to play safe in the fight against Lin Zhen, it will prove that she is a traitor to the European Union, and I will suggest Old John to execute her!” The head of Sand Russia, hearing that Huo Luofu didn’t need to fight, voluntarily used his own authorization times to arrange Lin Zhen and Chris in the same group.
The list of battles for the sixty-four promotion to thirty-two finally came out amid the public’s attention.
Several groups of strong confrontations attracted people’s attention.
First of all, it seems that the good luck of the Divine Sect’s Saintess Su Mingyue has come to an end, as she faced Sang Ji from Brazil.
People thought that Su Mingyue would stop at the top thirty-two. After all,
Sang Ji was Brazil’s number one War God, who had once personally slain S-level Mutated Beasts. He was definitely not an opponent that a delicate beauty like Su Mingyue could handle.
Furthermore, the Northwest Military War God Feng Ni from Hua Xia also encountered an opponent, the American War God Duo Ke.
These are not the most eye-catching, what attracts the most attention is Lin Zhen from Hua Xia against Chris from the European Union.
One of them ranked first in the pre-selection killing list, and the other ranked second. However, with the encounter of these two, it is destined that one of them will not be able to advance to the top thirty-two.
After the results of the grouping came out, Lin Zhen also frowned slightly.
He did not expect to face Chris.
If there were any competitors he least wanted to face, there were only two people, one was Su Mingyue, and the other was Chris.
There’s no need to mention Su Mingyue. If that girl encountered him, there’s a high chance she would give up immediately, which is not what Lin Zhen wanted.
As for Chris, Lin Zhen found it hard to see through her. He always felt she was mysterious, and besides, she lent him 40 billion, which was a huge favor. Lin Zhen wanted to repay her, not fight her on the stage.
But the draw has already been made and cannot be changed, so Lin Zhen could only go up.
First was the match between Feng Ni and Duo Ke. The result was similar to the previous battle between Duo Ke and Xin Rughai. The force field is almost impossible to break. Despite several consecutive assaults, Feng Ni eventually lost to the force field. Although he posed a threat to Duo Ke at one point, he was ultimately eliminated regretfully.
Afterwards, it was the match between Su Mingyue and Sang Ji. As the match began, people shouted at Sang Ji: “Sang Ji, you must go easy on her!”
“Sang Ji, if you dare to hurt a single hair of the Saintess, I will never forgive you.”
“Adopt a mobile combat tactic, let her tire herself out and give up. Such a girl is not meant to be fought, understand?”
Sang Ji himself believed that victory was certain. Seeing the fairy-like Su
Mingyue who seemed to have walked out of a painting, he laughed: “Su Saintess, I dare not offend your fans. I advise you to concede and step down from the stage. I really can’t bring myself to go against you.”
Su Mingyue smiled indifferently: “But I can.”
“Then come on. I’ll let you have three moves.” Sang Ji said casually.
“Alright.”
Su Mingyue raised her hand, and her delicate hand suddenly flashed with countless rays of light, like a sun appearing out of nowhere, catching Sang Ji off guard.
He instinctively covered his eyes, and a sword light slashed across his throat.
Su Mingyue withdrew her sword and stepped down, Sang Ji was eliminated!
Next, it was the match between Lin Zhen and Chris..
