Age of Evolution#-Chapter 854 - 857: Titled as King_1

854 Chapter 857: Titled as King_1

The incident of Lin Zhen tearing Bai Yunfei apart with his bare hands created quite a stir in Tianfang City.

Bai Yunfei used to be a well-known gladiator with many supporters who would show up to cheer for him during his battles in the arena.

Yet such a powerful martial practitioner at the God Realm Stage was brutally torn apart by Lin Zhen!

Such an event showed not only Lin Zhen's superior tactics but also the vast disparity in strength between the two.

It would take an ace gladiator to defeat Bai Yunfei so swiftly!

So it turned out that there was such a personage in the White Tiger Hall arena. Did that mean that Lin Zhen was as strong as a Five Star Warrior?

People started digging into Lin Zhen's past.

Ever since he entered the Original World, his actions were examined as if under a microscope.

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

These experiences allowed people to witness the rise of a genius.

There wasn't a word other than "genius" that could describe Lin Zhen's journey, and if there was a need for an adjective, it would be "genius amongst geniuses."

It would be one thing if Lin Zhen was only excellent in martial arts. But what truly amazed people was the fact that besides being a Three Flowers Stage martial practitioner, Lin Zhen was also a Saint-Level Alchemist!

Becoming a Saint-Level Alchemist was even more challenging than becoming a Three Flowers Warrior. People had a hard time imagining how Lin Zhen achieved both things in just over a thousand years, which seemed scientifically impossible.

However, the reality proved that this kid from the New World, Lin Zhen, had a freakishly powerful talent!

As Lin Zhen's experiences were disclosed, his fan base grew. Many martial practitioners started to idolize him, seeing his potential as infinite and predicting his future ascension to a god.

The events of the following few days in the virtual battlefield further underscored Lin Zhen's capabilities.

While moving forward with Chen Yuan, several martial practitioners attracted by San Hu's rewards launched countless surprise attacks and assassination attempts on Lin Zhen.

However, these attacks had no effect. Time and again, Lin Zhen asserted his impressively powerful abilities, proving to be nearly invincible.

The next day, at the thirty-thousand-meter mark, Lin Zhen killed Yang Qingzhi, one of the four top warriors under Fu Qingfeng from the White Tiger Hall.

That same night, two other top warriors of Fu Qingfeng, along with a group of Speed Dragon Cavalry gladiators, launched a night attack against Lin Zhen.

Under Lin Zhen's request, Chen Yuan didn't interfere in the battle. Lin Zhen single-handedly fought three top martial practitioners of the God Realm Stage. The battle raged from midnight until dawn. Lin Zhen was wounded multiple times, but his incredibly swift recovery impressed everyone. He stood his ground despite being attack on all sides by his three powerful opponents.

In the final moment, Lin Zhen's duplicate appeared, and the odds shifted from three against one to two against three. The three top martial practitioners were caught off guard and suffered a great loss, resulting in two of them being killed on the spot.

The last member of the Speed Dragon Cavalry tried to escape but was blasted to death on the spot by a Kirin Cannon shot by Lin Zhen's duplicate.

After this battle, Lin Zhen's reputation echoed throughout Tianfang City.

You could be unfamiliar with everybody else, but you could not ignore the currently most renowned martial practitioner, Lin Zhen.

Although Tianfang City wasn't significant in the entire Endless Battlefield, the news about Lin Zhen gradually spread via the unlocked Dimensional Universe.

San Hu and Fu Qingfeng had reached the top of the island. At the top, San Hu publicly announced that he would wait for Lin Zhen's arrival and clean up the White Tiger Hall's reputation!

08:55

San Hu had previously sworn to deal with Lin Zhen, yet Lin had been ruthlessly massacring along the way, which was considered a severe slap in the face for the White Tiger Hall. San Hu could not swallow this humiliation.

People in various parts of the Endless Battlefield occasionally logged into the Dimensional Universe and expressed surprise when seeing the Tianfang City forum, "Oh! It seems like a decent gladiator has emerged in Tianfang City."

*********

On the third day of the virtual battlefield, a new situation arose.

San Hu's remarks had been spread around.

San Hu and Fu Qingfeng had reached the top of the island. At the top, San Hu publicly announced that he would wait for Lin Zhen's arrival and clean up the White Tiger Hall's reputation!

San Hu had previously sworn to deal with Lin Zhen, yet Lin had been ruthlessly massacring along the way, which was considered a severe slap in the face for the White Tiger Hall. San Hu could not swallow this humiliation.

However, he didn't dare to face Lin Zhen in single combat and had to turn to Fu Qingfeng.

Fu Qingfeng promised San Hu that he would teach Lin Zhen a lesson and remove him from the competition.

Besides those two waiting at the mountaintop, many martial practitioners from the White Tiger Hall were also converging at the summit, preparing to settle the score with Lin Zhen once and for all.

One could only assume that the final battle to clinch a spot in the last stage of the virtual battlefield would be anything but peaceful.

However, not many were in favor of the White Tiger Hall this time, as Lin Zhen had Chen Yuan at his side. As a representative of the San Xia Association's powerful influence, Chen Yuan might render all the strategies and plans of San Hu and Fu Qingfeng pointless if he decided to interfere at the last minute.

Therefore, most people believed that Lin Zhen would succeed in advancing to the Storm Eye even if he did nothing.

********

Lin Zhen, however, did not agree with this perspective.

His men, Chen Yuan and Kressman, were speeding towards the peak of the island.

It was already the deep of night on the third day, and there were less than three hours left until the end of the day.

Below the island, the rolling tides had already risen 69 times. By the time the 70th arrived, there would only be two hours left.

And they had also climbed to a height of over 71,000 metres, not far from the mountaintop.

Kressman walked in the darkness holding his flag. The darkness had no effect on martial artists of their level. Everyone was a Spiritual Mind Master, with the ability to see in the dark with their eyes.

Lin Zhen and Chen Yuan walked side by side behind him.

"Boss, right now, within the virtual battlefield, there are only over 13,000 gladiators remaining," Kressman reported loudly from the front.

"I know. Keep moving. Don't worry, we will definitely have a place within the final ten thousand. "

Kressman stopped talking, simply brandishing his flag and moving forward. Occasionally, silhouettes would flash by from the darkness, but no one dared to approach.

Lin Zhen still held the most kills, and at this point, not many dared to readily cross paths with him - death was not an inviting prospect.

At this point, Chen Yuan spoke to Lin Zhen: "Junior brother, advancing out of this round is definitely not an issue. If you give a word, the gladiators of our San Xia Association will surely go all in to help - I do not place the strength of the White Tiger Hall in my sights."

Lin Zhen flashed a smile: "Then I thank you, senior brother."

"Hey, why are you being so formal with me? We're all from the same holy land, all guided by our fifth senior brother, we should be helping one another. I'm telling you, once within the Endless Battlefield, the warriors from the various holy lands tend to stick together. If we, the people of Falling Star Lake, do not unite amongst ourselves, then we will surely be bullied in the future."

Lin Zhen nodded: "Senior brother speaks truth. But for this time, I wish senior brother to not involve himself. These White Tiger Hall people, I wish to deal with them myself."

"Surely you jest, junior brother! With others, I say nothing, but Fu Qingfeng is not so easily managed. Even I would have to work myself to deal with him, and I'm even more concerned that he would rope in Xi Erman from the Speed Dragon Cavalry. If the two of them choose to join forces, even if you add me into the mix, I fear we stand no chance."

"Oh! The Speed Dragon Cavalry could possibly join the fray?"

"That's right, Xi Erman is the top gladiator for the Speed Dragon Cavalry. I've crossed swords with him before, barely succeeding by a hair, and he suffered only minor injuries. He places profit above all else. If Fu Qingfeng and San Hu offer a high enough reward, he could truly enter the fray."

Lin Zhen slowly replied: "In that case, I wish for senior brother to detain the Speed Dragon Cavalry, prevent them from interfering. If senior brother can accomplish that, it would suffice."

Chen Yuan gritted his teeth: "No problem! My drill towards the battle will certainly restrict Xi Erman from making rash moves. When that happens, the pressure on you will be insufferable.",

Lin Zhen waved his hand dismissively: "It matters not, let's not talk about this anymore. Senior brother, talk to me about the situation outside."

"Well, then let's talk about what's outside. Actually, Tianfang City here is considered one of the ground clan's rear bases on the Endless Battlefield, True expert warriors generally do not venture to this fringe area. If it had not been for the loss of crucial personnel at Qingqiu Mountain some time ago, we would not have seen such a confluence of Endless Species."

"In the actual battlefield, warriors like me, Five Star Warriors, are nothing more than foot soldiers. Only Six Star Warriors can barely hold their own, while Seven Star Warriors form the main force. But the true dominators of the Endless Battlefield are members of the Hall of Fame from both the warring factions."

Lin Zhen looked at Chen Yuan: "I've heard about the Hall of Fame quite a few times now. So what exactly is this Hall of Fame?"

"The Hall of Fame is quite formidable, let me tell you that. The Hall of Fame is a list of the strongest warriors from each faction, second only to their deities. Both the ground clans and the Endless Species have their own top hundred warriors, who form the members of the Hall of Fame. These hundred individuals are invincible on the Endless Battlefield. Normally, whenever appearances of members from the Hall of Fame are reported in battlefield conditions, other combatants would typically retreat."

"So, how does one gain entrance into the Hall of Fame?" Lin Zhen had developed a longing for it.

"That's quite difficult. Usually a seat in the Hall of Fame is vacated only when someone ascends to godhood or dies. Only then do others have a chance to compete for it. Otherwise, one has to make a direct challenge, but directly challenging the Hall of Fame is largely considered as an impossible victory."

Lin Zhen expressed surprise: "Since they are beneath deities, then the strongest among your Hall of Fame should be demigods, right? Are you telling me that it's impossible to overcome a demigod?"

Chen Yuan dismissed the notion with a wave of his hand: "While demigods are indeed strong ones, let me tell you, junior brother, to become eligible to challenge the Hall of fame, one has to fulfill a precondition. Failing to fulfill this precondition, you wouldn't even have the eligibility to challenge."

"What condition?"

"Being crowned!"

"What does being crowned mean?" Lin asked, stumped.

An envious look appeared on Chen Yuan's face: "To get a title is to establish a reputation on the Endless Battlefield. Everyone gives you a title based on your characteristics, commonly known as a nickname, like Xiao Cangsheng, Fu Qingfeng's master. The title he received was Blood Hand King, so his full name in the Hall of Fame is Blood Hand King Xiao Cangsheng."

"How can one attain it?"

"There are two essential conditions: One, to become a Seven Star Warrior; Two, to singlehandedly kill a demigod. Fulfill these two conditions, build a significant reputation, and you will be well on your way to gaining a title. Junior brother, there are far too few people in the Hall of Fame, it's rare to even meet one on the Endless Battlefield. Gaining a crown is the symbol of strength and fame in the Battlefield. If you have ambitions of joining the Hall of Fame, then first aim to gain a crown!"
