850 Chapter 853 Kressman_1

In a flash of light, Lin Zhen, who was just on the bed at the inn a moment ago, had arrived in another world.

Underfoot was a soft sandy beach, silver waves crashing onto it, stirring up white froth.

Gazing far into the distance, there lay a vast azure ocean, extending to the ends of his sight.

Several seagulls flew across the distant sky, emitting crisp cries, yet they seemed so utterly unattainable.

Lin Zhen could clearly feel that he was a very long distance from those birds, so far away that he could not reach them because this virtual space prohibited flying and teleportation, to prevent any potential cheating.

Every person had to rely on their own abilities to ascend the towering mountain behind them.

The beach formed an expansive area, increasingly elevating towards the mountain peak.

Other competitors had also appeared in the far distance.

Upon entering the virtual space, Lin Zhen received a prompt from the Dimensional Universe.

"All contestants, please note that the virtual battlefield has officially begun. All of you are currently located on a beach on the outskirts of an island. The beach will experience high tide once every hour, rising by a thousand meters each time. After seventy-two high tides, the seawater will surge to the mountaintop."

"Only a maximum of ten thousand people will be able to fit atop the mountaintop. After seventy-two high tides, the virtual battlefield will conclude. By then, all those who survived will qualify for the Eye of the Storm."

"This area prohibits flying or teleportation within the virtual battlefield. People submerged by the sea will be eliminated. Aside from this, there are no other constraints. Good luck to all of you!"

After the prompt ended, Lin Zhen looked back at the towering mountain peak.

The height of this mountain far exceeded that of Mount Everest, the highest peak on Earth.

Climbing Mount Everest was by no means simple, even for martial artists with great vitality. Based on the system's prompt, the height of this mountain should be more than 72,000 meters. It was impossible to ascend in a short time.

Moreover, they still needed to fight along the way. It could be said that every person here was an enemy.

"With each tide rising by a thousand meters, it means that I must ascend to a height above a thousand meters within an hour to be safe. This task isn't easy, I need to set off quickly."

Lin Zhen turned around to start moving towards the mountain peak.

Each step was uphill, making the journey far from effortless.

The whole island formed a giant circle, and everyone was heading towards the center. They were bound to bump into each other sooner or later.

Lin Zhen soon met his first opponent.

From a distance, it seemed all the people here could be divided into three types of clothing.

Like Lin Zhen, who was a martial artist of the White Tiger Hall, had a white tiger symbol on his chest.

The person coming towards him had a symbol of three swords on him, likely a Gladiator from the San Xia Association.

As for the other organization, the Speed Dragon Cavalry, their symbol should be a running earth dragon.

The warrior with the three swords symbol on his chest was at the Three Flowers Peak Stage. When he saw Lin Zhen appear, a smile formed on his face.

"Hehe, when I was on my way here, I wondered what kind of opponent I would meet first. In my heart, I hoped it would be a person at the Spiritual Mind Stage because that's the kind of challenge that suits me. Your strength is rather... insignificant."

Then, the warrior put his hands behind his back and looked at Lin Zhen nonchalantly: "On the boxing stage, I usually give my opponents a chance to attack me first. Go ahead, I give you three opportunities."

Walking up with a smile, Lin Zhen simultaneously raised his hand, summoning the Emperor's Sword: "Then, I won't be polite."

"No need for politeness, I don't need it."

With his expression unchanged, Lin Zhen raised his hand and struck with his sword!

Body, strike, movement, all these actions connected together and took only a thousandth of a second!

If it weren't for the high-speed cameras that could play back at over a hundred times slower, one could not even see the movement of Lin Zhen. It appeared Lin Zhen had not moved at all, and had just continued walking forward.

However, this warrior at the Three Flowers Stage was cleanly split into two about dozens of meters walk after Lin Zhen had passed by him!

Sliced in two with a single strike!

Only his wide-open eyes remained, and he still didn't know how he died even at the moment of his death.

Killing was as natural to Lin Zhen as breathing. There was nothing to be proud of in dispatching such an opponent. Unbeknownst to him, his growth had already reached an astonishing level.

After a few steps, Lin Zhen ran into another person.

This opponent had the emblem of the White Tiger on his chest, standing not far from him, one foot lifted in the air but hesitating to land, as if setting this foot down would alert Lin Zhen and instigate his attack.

Even Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face. Because he had seen this Martial Artist before - he was the one assigned by San Hu to fight repeatedly with him in several dozen matches.

This guy was really funny. The moment he stepped onto the stage, he would surrender or forfeit, not giving Lin Zhen the slightest chance to strike at any point in several dozen matches. He was indeed quite in tune with the times.

But at this moment, the kid's mouth was wide open, as if he could stuff an egg into it, staring at Lin Zhen with a shocked expression as if he had seen a ghost.

Lin Zhen didn't intend to attack him immediately. Instead, he smiled and said, "The world is indeed small. How is it? This time surrendering or forfeiting won't work, right?"

The martial artist's face showed a troubled expression. The foot he had held in the air was eventually lowered, and he slumped down, falling onto his butt on the sand: "Ah! My bad luck!"

Lin Zhen was genuinely amused by this fellow's reaction. His initial intention to eliminate everyone he encountered had somewhat faded. Looking down from above, he said, "It can't be considered bad luck. At least we are old acquaintances. If you can give me a reason not to eliminate you, maybe I will spare you."

Immediately, the martial artist's eyes lit up, and a fawning smile appeared on his face: "Will your words hold?"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's guarantee, the man seemed to become lively all at once, bouncing off his butt as if there was a spring underneath, and comfortably ran beside Lin Zhen: "Boss Lin Zhen, I have some insider information."

"Let's hear it." Lin Zhen actually enjoyed dealing with people like this. Being able to read the situation was indeed a virtue.

"Here's the deal, right before we came in, San Hu delivered a message to all of us gladiators. He has asked everyone from White Tiger Hall to kill you. Anyone who can eliminate you will receive ten million, and he will help them elevate their rank to a Five Star Warrior."

Lin Zhen calculated the time. It must be after he rejected San Hu that he sent out this message.

"He's really willing to invest big money. So what do you think? Seeing me as a shining gold target, didn't you think of making a move?"

While Lin Zhen spoke, his gaze fixed on the man's eyes. With Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power, he could even see through the fluctuations in this person's soul. If he wanted to lie or deceive, he definitely wouldn't be able to deceive Lin Zhen.

But this warrior simply nodded straightforwardly: "At the start, when I saw you encounter a gladiator from the San Xia Association, I did consider it. I thought if you were roughly equal in your battle, I would take the opportunity to sneak an attack. But now, I've completely given up. Boss, your strength is too great. For someone like me, I wouldn't even be enough to fill the gaps in your teeth. Maybe the top gladiators stand a chance, but I think I'll save it."

This man had an open and honest demeanor, and his soul did not fluctuate much, proving that he hadn't lied.

Lin Zhen nodded in satisfaction: "What's your name?"

"Boss, my name is Kressman."

"Good, then you tell me, how strong are the top gladiators here?" Lin Zhen asked.

Kressman was quite perceptive. He felt that Lin Zhen's intention to kill had faded, so he gathered courage, and began: "Boss, you haven't encountered any strong opponents in the arena. In fact, there are quite a few strong ones in the arena, but it mainly depends on the star rating. Among the three major gladiator arenas, the main strong warriors are Five Star Warriors. Those who can reach Four Star and Five Star ranks are basically those at the God Realm Stage."

"There basically won't be. Those who can reach Six-Star or Seven-Star are usually at the Divine Stone Realm. There are few Divine Stone Realm individuals who mix in the gladiator arena. They usually go to the deep areas of the Endless Battlefield to train. Six-Star wants to upgrade to Seven-Star, and Seven-Star wants to enter the Hall of Fame. Only by entering the Hall of Fame can a warrior earn the highest badge under Deity."

Lin Zhen nodded to show his understanding. He had heard about the deeds of the Hall of Fame long ago. Among the group of Martial Artists who have not become gods, the Hall of Fame does indeed represent the strongest.

The minimum entry criterion for the Hall of Fame is Seven-Star, and it requires a huge amount of points, not something that can be achieved by luck. It has to be earned through countless years of battles and fights.

Kressman continued: "Just take our White Tiger Hall for example. The strongest warrior is just a Five Star Warrior named Fu Qingfeng. You must be careful with this person, Boss, because it's claimed that he has declared his intention to eliminate you."

Lin Zhen frowned slightly: "He is already a Five-Star warrior. What use is there in eliminating me?"

"Because San Hu said, if you're eliminated by a Five Star Warrior, White Tiger Hall will provide a reward of ten times the original amount, close to one hundred million, and also assist in upgrading to Six Star."

Kressman spoke earnestly, "Boss, you must be very careful. Not only is Fu Qingfeng very strong, but he also has four Four Star Warriors under his command who are all strong warriors in the God Realm Stage. Moreover, almost no one dares to defy this man. Even San Hu doesn't dare to offend Fu Qingfeng."

"Why?"

"Because of his teacher. Fu Qingfeng's teacher is a high-ranking warrior in the Hall of Fame. His name is Xiao Cangsheng, a formidable Demigod Strong. Who would dare to offend him?"

Lin Zhen didn't care much. So what if they are in the Hall of Fame or a Demigod? Those were far away from him, and they couldn't possibly fly into the virtual battlefield to eliminate him.

Furthermore, just a while ago, he had even taken away the virgin kisses of the fiancee of the Imperial Clan Grand Emperor, Jue Tian. How could he care about a Demigod?

If you talk about being daring, Lin Zhen didn't mean to target anyone, but every single one in the Original World was insignificant.

After Kressman had briefly explained all the relevant information, he chuckled and said, "Boss Lin Zhen, can I now go?"

To his surprise, Lin Zhen suddenly refused, "No, you follow me. I've been in a bad mood these days and I don't feel like arguing with others. If someone offends me along the way, I will deal with the action, and you deal with the tongue-lashing. If you can't do this, I am going to eliminate you."

At once, the expression on Kressman's face turned bitter.
