Chapter 322

After the match table was released, the audience seats also quieted down, and millions of eyes looked at the match table in unison.

The air was also quiet for a few seconds.

Lin Qi's gaze was like lightning, quickly scanning the match table, and in a moment he found his target.

【Match 20: Lin Qi (Xia Guo) vs. Prapa (Thailand)】

Looking at the contestant's name, Lin Qi was puzzled; he didn't recognize it, which meant they weren't an expert.

At this moment on the floating island, a rather handsome man's expression changed drastically.

A look of despair immediately appeared.

"How did I get matched with this monster?"

Not just him, the other contestants around also had different expressions after seeing their opponents.

Some were nervous, some were full of fighting spirit, and some were in despair...

"Now I announce, the first round of the main tournament officially begins!"

Xu Wenji announced the start of the competition in a loud voice!

As soon as he finished speaking, all the contestants on the two floating islands of the East and West were enveloped by crimson light pillars and fell like meteors into different positions in the audience seats.

Lin Qi and the others also descended into the Xia Guo's audience seats.

"We're back!"

Around him, Jiang Tao, Guo Heng, Guanshan, Wang Qiufeng, and others were all back.

"Academy Head!"

Besides them were the students of the Six Academies; they greeted each other enthusiastically, and looking further out, they were all students of Cangqiong Martial University.

After Lin Qi nodded, his gaze was placed on the arena; the arena, which was larger than several football fields, was divided into 8 areas.

8 competitions were unfolding simultaneously!

2,000 contestants, 1,000 matches, all seeded players also had to participate.

If they didn't compete simultaneously, 1,000 matches wouldn't even be finished in two days!

The competition officially began, and all eight competitions clearly appeared in Lin Qi's line of sight.

16 contestants came from different countries, with different skin and features, different weapons, and even completely different fighting styles.

But they were all the strongest among tens of millions of freshmen.

On the arena!

"Pfft~"

"Be defeated!"

A burly black man wearing a silver combat suit swung a large saber and pierced the throat of a contestant from the Qiandao Kingdom.

"Haha, too weak, remember, the one who defeated you is Williams of the Bai Ying Federation!"

After speaking, he also turned into nothingness and dissipated; he had won the final victory by easily slaying his opponent.

Williams returned to the Bai Ying Federation's audience seats.

"The opponents from the Eastern division are too weak!"

"I hope to meet an opponent from the Xia Guo in the next round!"

"They are the strongest country on Blue Star; I wonder how their strength will be?"

"Williams is worthy of being the genius ranked in the top three of our Bai Ying Federation's Freshman Tournament!" a dark-skinned black man beside him praised.

"That goes without saying, I am Williams, the Storm Rhino Williams!" Williams said proudly, tilting his head.

【Next, please have the contestants for Match 20 take the stage!】

The competition proceeded very quickly, and the gap between the 2,000 geniuses was also huge.

Some could end the battle in less than a minute.

So it was soon Lin Qi's turn!

The people around him had calm expressions; the early opponents were not worth paying attention to, as no one could defeat their Brother Lin Qi.

He was enveloped by crimson light and quickly descended onto an arena.

Ten seconds later, having changed into a form-fitting black outfit, he stepped out holding a large black spear in one hand.

Opposite him, a handsome man wearing a yellow combat suit and holding a sword in one hand walked out.

Prapa looked at Lin Qi with a solemn expression; he didn't know if it was because of a psychological effect.

Before his eyes, Lin Qi was like a giant man-eating tiger, with waves of sharpness radiating out.

It made the hair on his body stand on end, and his palms couldn't help but sweat.

The two didn't speak, quietly waiting for the start of the battle.

【Countdown: 3, 2, 1...】

【Match 20 officially begins!】

Above the arena, the intelligent voice announced!

"Whoosh~" In an instant, Prapa's eyes narrowed; having finished accumulating power, he instantly lunged forward, swinging his sword.

He wanted to give it a try, using his fastest speed!

Facing the attack, Lin Qi seemed not to have accumulated any power, his whole body in an extremely relaxed state.

It was as if he didn't realize this was a battle!

"Hoo~"

In an instant, accompanied by a gale, Prapa's sword was less than a meter away from Lin Qi.

"There's a chance!"

In that split second, Prapa had the illusion that he might be able to win.

Within a breath, the two were less than half a meter apart.

And at this very moment, Lin Qi smiled; his arm exerted force suddenly, and the large black spear in his hand thrust out instantly like a black dragon emerging from the sea.

It seemed to transform into a streak of black lightning, piercing the air and flashing past.

"Pfft~"

!

Just as Prapa's sword tip was less than 3 centimeters from Lin Qi, the sharp spear tip pierced his chest.

The surging force instantly tore his heart apart.

"Pfft~"

The spear tip was pulled out, bringing with it thick blood, and Prapa's body flew out instantly.

"Bang!!"

He slammed heavily onto the ground and turned into nothingness, dissipating.

The battle ended.

【Match 20: Lin Qi (Winner)!】

The intelligent voice announced emotionlessly.

Prapa, who had been teleported back to the audience seats, was completely stunned.

He didn't even know how the opponent had struck.

"I am the second-ranked genius among Thailand's freshmen, and I was killed in one move?"

"How can the gap be so large?"

His friends around him were also unusually surprised, and at the same time, they didn't know how to comfort Prapa; this was purely a gap in strength.

On the other side, Lin Qi also returned to the audience seats.

He could feel that the opponent was also an expert, but the gap between experts was also huge.

He could feel that as his realm improved, whether it was physical fitness or the combat power displayed by his martial arts.

The gap between geniuses did not exist in a way that was getting smaller.

It would only get larger!

The final result was that some geniuses could only break through to the seventh realm, while others could break through to the eighth realm.

Some top geniuses could even break through to the ninth realm and become titled martial artists.

And Lin Qi's battle also attracted the attention of many geniuses.

"He is Lin Qi; it is said he has mastered a minor divine ability."

"Although he hasn't awakened, he is still an opponent that cannot be underestimated."

"Worthy of being the country with the strongest martial arts strength on Blue Star, with deep foundations, to have such a genius."

"..."

After Lin Qi returned to the audience seats, he didn't rush to log off, but looked at the projected comparison table.

The names of the 230 awakened geniuses appeared in his mind, corresponding one by one.

He needed to understand the general strength of some of these geniuses.

【Please have the contestants for Match 36 take the stage!】

The intelligent voice announced, and Lin Qi's eyes lit up instantly.

Two crimson light pillars descended onto one of the arenas.

A delicate man wearing a white combat suit and holding a long sword walked out slowly.

He was less than 1.85 meters tall, which was considered short among all the contestants.

He was quite similar to Guanshan, but he was stronger than Guanshan because he was the only SS-rank genius of the Sakura Kingdom—Miyamoto Kenichiro!

The information about the opponent appeared in Lin Qi's mind.

The special ability the opponent awakened was 【Gale】, and his own fighting style was also as swift as the wind.

The ability and fighting style perfectly matched, which was very rare and could possess extremely strong combat power.
