Chapter 335: The Terror of Harvey (Requesting Monthly Tickets)

The eighth round of the main tournament is still ongoing.

A top SS-class genius has begun to reveal even greater strength.

One S-class genius after another was effortlessly defeated by the SS-class genius.

The reason SS-class geniuses have an extra "S"

Is because they possess superior talent and greater resources.

They are fully nurtured by their respective martial universities.

At the same realm level, their physical attributes and martial skills are simply stronger than those of S-class geniuses.

If an S-class genius could win, they wouldn't be S-class—they'd be SS-class.

"Li Han is really unlucky—he got matched against Harvey from the White Eagle Federation!"

"Harvey is a top genius who's mastered a Minor Divine Art; Li Han has no chance against him!"

Jiang Tao watched the two competitors on the arena and spoke.

"Except against Yu Yu Zhuoran or Viktor from Mao Xiong, he had a chance to win against any other opponent."

"He just has terrible luck!"

"Not everyone can have the luck that Lin Qi Ge has," Guanshan added.

Lin Qi's gaze rested on the arena, where one figure stood tall and muscular, nearly two meters in height.

His proportions were fluid and flawless, perfectly matching the Western ideal of the golden ratio, radiating unique beauty.

His facial features were sharply defined, with golden hair and blue eyes—a figure straight out of Western myth.

He was Harvey Wright, the SS-class genius of the White Eagle Federation.

Like others who had mastered a Minor Divine Art, he was also a top contender for the championship.

He radiated a scorching aura, dazzling like the sun.

Lin Qi had to admit that Harvey completely overshadowed Li Han in presence.

They were not even in the same league of genius—or rather, not anymore.

【Battle Commences!】

The moment the AI voice announced the start, Li Han's expression hardened, and he immediately activated his Minor Divine Art: 【Glacial Transformation】.

His blood qi surged violently, his eyes blazed with light, and a blue glow surfaced across his skin.

His aura surged dramatically.

Harvey's pressure was too great—if he didn't use his Minor Divine Art, he'd be defeated instantly.

The handsome Harvey smiled and said, "Not bad!"

He wore a white-gold combat suit and held a silver spear.

The battle erupted instantly!

In an instant, he became a blinding streak of light, shooting forward like a beam.

"Boom!!"

Both combatants surged forward, their weapons colliding and spraying sparks everywhere.

Dozens of SS-class geniuses in the stands watched the fight intently.

Each hoped to uncover more weaknesses in Harvey.

"Harvey is so strong—he's completely dominating Li Han, even after he activated his Minor Divine Art."

Jiang Tao spoke with a serious expression.

Within just a few exchanges, the gap became clear.

Others nodded grimly—Harvey displayed the same invincible aura as Viktor from Mao Xiong.

But unlike Viktor, who relied purely on strength, Harvey embodied ultimate speed.

Lin Qi watched Harvey move like countless beams of light.

His special ability, 【Light】, was an extremely rare talent.

A branch of fire-based abilities, it was less explosive than 【Crimson Flame】.

But it granted speed approaching that of light itself!

Moreover, his body could absorb light to accelerate healing.

He was practically a beggar's Superman!

Hence his nickname: White Eagle Superman.

Li Han was already fast by nature, and with his Minor Divine Art activated, his speed skyrocketed.

Yet every move he made appeared in slow motion before Harvey.

Lin Qi felt Harvey's speed was now nearly equal to his own.

And Harvey still had his Minor Divine Art—he could push his speed even higher.

A formidable opponent indeed!

"Puff~"

On the arena, Li Han stared at the silver spear piercing his heart, its searing force melting his organ.

"I lost."

"Li Han of Xia, you gave your all," Harvey said, looking down at the fallen man with a smile.

【Match 5: Harvey Wright (White Eagle Federation) Wins!】

In the stands, Li Han was teleported away; though disappointed, he quickly steadied his mindset.

"I need to become stronger!"

He clenched his fist, his fighting spirit burning bright.

…

After Harvey's victory, many faces grew grim; White Eagle Federation spectators cheered as if the championship were already within reach.

The other SS-class geniuses then revealed astonishing power.

Each match lasted a considerable time.

Over half an hour later, all sixteen matches ended.

Countless spectators turned their eyes to the pyramid—only sixteen remained.

Fifteen were SS-class geniuses; only Lin Qi stood apart, neither an awakened genius nor an SS-class talent.

Yet no one underestimated him—he was the only unawakened competitor to have defeated an SS-class genius.

Lin Qi studied the other fifteen.

Of the eighteen SS-class geniuses, only Sula from Thaland had been defeated by him.

Huo Hao Wanyang, the newly awakened SS-class genius, had also been eliminated.

The remaining ones were the SS-class talents from Maple Nation and India.

SS-class Savita lost too—defeated by another Indian, Lakush.

This drew sighs from many spectators.

Moreover, Pei Jiu, though strong, drew the unlucky match against Miyamoto Genichiro and was defeated, failing to advance to the top sixteen.

Yet Xia still held the most slots: four competitors—Yu Yu Zhuoran and himself from Cangqiong Shanyu Wuda, Kong Kong Ruoxuan from Minghai Shanyu Wuda, and Wang Mingxi from Shanyu Shanyu Wuda.

Wang Mingxi was also the only mentalist among the sixteen.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let us congratulate the sixteen competitors who have advanced to the eighth round!!"

Xu Xu Wenji's voice rang out first, then his figure materialized in projection.

"The tournament has reached the eighth round. No more talk—let's begin."

"Of these sixteen elite competitors, only the eight strongest will advance to the ninth round."

"And they will each receive 90 million Xia currency in prize money!"

As Xu Xu Wenji finished, a roar like a tidal wave erupted, and he waved his hand.

Sixteen crimson orbs shot forth, striking the chessboard like falling stars.

Sixteen crimson light orbs flew out and once again slammed onto the chessboard like meteors.

Sixteen terrifying Level-9 Catastrophe Beasts bellowed and shrieked.

Sixteen terrifying Level Nine Catastrophe Beasts roared and shrieked.

They then transformed into sixteen virtual figures, forming eight match pairings.

Lin Qi immediately spotted his own White Gold Blood Tiger.

His opponent was a colossal, mountain-sized ape—the Level-9 Catastrophe Beast: Titan Ape.

【Match 3: Lin Qi (Xia) vs. Jinjia Jinjia Laiwen Madison (White Eagle Federation)】

The moment he saw his opponent's name, his mind automatically filled with details.

Jinjia Jinjia Laiwen Madison, from the White Eagle Federation.

One of the White Eagle Federation's two SS-class geniuses.

Powerful and relentless, he had smashed through opponents with brute force.

But to him, Jinjia Jinjia Laiwen was no different from Sula of Thaland.

But to him, it was no different from Thalande's Sula.

Meanwhile, on the White Eagle Federation's spectator bench,

A burly Black man seated beside Harvey grinned with excitement.

A tall, muscular Black man sitting beside Javier grinned with excitement.

I never expected to be matched against Lin Qi from Xia Guo.

His nickname in Xia Guo is said to be Shan Jun, meaning King of Land Beasts.

He must be an extremely powerful opponent!

I've long wanted to test myself against him.

He clenched his fists, faint golden patterns emerging on his dark skin.

"Jinjia Jinjia Laiwen, don't underestimate him—this opponent is no ordinary one!"

The blond Javier spoke up in warning.

"Don't worry, Javier—I won't lose," Jinjia Jinjia Laiwen replied with a confident smile.

…

Meanwhile, other competitors were also matched with their opponents.

"Next, let us welcome the first pair of competitors: Rajesh Kumar from India!"

"And from Xia Guo: Kong Kong Ruoxuan!"

Under Xu Wen's announcement, the first match of the eighth round officially began.

In the Indian audience, Savita clenched her fists, frowning as she watched Rajesh appear on the arena.

"A lowly fourth-class man—how could he be stronger than me?"

"He has already sealed his own death!"

…

In the Xia Guo audience, Lin Qi watched the match with curiosity.

His mind recalled Rajesh's file—this opponent was formidable.

He had defeated Savita, another SS-rank genius.

His fighting style closely resembled Su La's: both had awakened the 【Flowing Water】 and wielded spears.

Kong Kong Ruoxuan was the same—she too had awakened 【Flowing Water】.

Kong Kong Ruoxuan was an SS-rank genius from Minghai; this battle was destined to be a clash of titans.

Three minutes later

"Puff~"

Kong Kong Ruoxuan's sword pierced Rajesh's chest; he vanished regretfully into nothingness.

She exhaled, relieved.

The match had been grueling—Rajesh's swordplay was even stronger than hers.

But his physical condition was slightly inferior, and at the critical moment, it became his fatal weakness.

【Match 1: Kong Kong Ruoxuan (Xia Guo) wins!】

…

Kong Kong Ruoxuan's victory sparked a roar of cheers from countless Xia Guo spectators.

She became the first Xia Guo competitor to advance to the top eight.

Lin Qi nodded silently—Kong Kong Ruoxuan truly had skill; SS-rank geniuses from different nations varied greatly.

Su La from Thaland was no match for Rajesh, let alone Kong Kong Ruoxuan.

The second match began immediately.

The competitors were Song Song Zhengzai from Silla and Miyamoto Genichiro from Sakura.

After dozens of exchanges, the victor emerged.

【Match 2: Miyamoto Genichiro (Sakura) wins!】

The ultimate winner was Miyamoto Genichiro.

Lin Qi nodded inwardly.

Miyamoto Genichiro was strong, but unfortunately he had not mastered a Minor Divine Art—otherwise he could have contended for the championship.

He stood up—his turn was next.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, smash that black guy from the White Eagle Federation!" Jiang Tao shouted.

"Go, Lin Lin Qi Ge!" The crowd cheered for Lin Qi.

They had full confidence in him—the top eight would surely include their Lin Lin Qi Ge.

Lin Qi nodded calmly, then rose into the sky as a crimson pillar of light.

"Next, let us welcome the third match's two competitors: Jinjia Jinjia Laiwen Madison from the White Eagle Federation!"

"And from Xia Guo: Lin Qi—whose journey has shattered countless records."

"Today, he will continue to break new ground!"

…
