Chapter 436: Leading the Pack (Seeking Monthly Votes)

The intelligent voice sounded in the line of sight of the 2,000 players.

In an instant, all the insect-race transformed martial artists took action at the same time; their numbers were numerous.

It was impossible to see clearly how many people there were.

"Kill!"

The players roared, wielding weapons, and their whole bodies erupted with powerful momentum.

One of them killed toward the nearest insect-race transformed martial artist whose skin was black.

This was a player from the Tianzhu Nation with a lean figure.

He wielded a combat knife and revealed a smile:

"Let me see the strength of you transformed martial artists!"

"Whoosh!!"

The sharp combat knife in his hand slashed down suddenly, tearing the air and kicking up bursts of strong wind.

"Roar~"

The transformed martial artist roared, he had a sturdy figure, and suddenly swung the giant axe in his hand.

"Boom!!"

The weapons of the two collided in the air, and the air exploded.

"Crack!!"

The Tianzhu Nation player's face changed drastically; he only felt his body bones shatter, and his whole body was blasted away like a kite with a broken string.

"How could it be so strong?!"

He was shocked in his heart; he felt as if he had collided with an armored vehicle, and the intense impact made his body parts lose sensation and instantly fall apart.

He was a martial artist who had just broken through to the Fifth Realm, and his strength was not weak at all.

Actually, he couldn't even beat an ordinary insect-race transformed martial artist.

How powerful were they?

His body dissipated in the air, was transported back to the spectator area, and was officially eliminated.

In the first moment of the competition, dozens of players were killed by insect-race transformed martial artists.

"How could they be so strong?"

"What kind of speed is this, it's too fast, I can't see how he took action at all."

"This power is too strong, one move and I was slashed to death."

"How could their defense be so strong? It feels like slashing onto hard armor?"

The powerful strength of the transformed martial artists not only shocked the players, but even the spectators were shocked.

Those who could advance to the main tournament were the most top-tier existences among 20 million players.

They were all Fifth Realm geniuses; Fourth Realm martial artists had all been eliminated.

This included the geniuses of the Sky Dome Academy's second year; most of them were Fourth Realm martial artists.

Not yet broken through to the Fifth Realm, they were all eliminated in the siege of disaster beasts.

Perhaps only by next year's Global Martial Arts Tournament would they have a chance to enter the main tournament.

"Clang clang!!"

Jiang Tao swung his combat knife with a solemn expression, colliding with a black-skinned transformed martial artist, and sparks splashed out.

"Tat tat!!"

He forced the other party back and also retreated several steps himself.

So strong!

Jiang Tao's arms were numb, and he felt shocked.

"This guy has such terrible defensive power; my power was all absorbed by him."

Although he was only a Fifth Realm mid-stage martial artist, now under the nourishment of the mysterious gemstone, he could be said to have natural divine power.

Even Huo Wanyang's current power was not as good as his.

But he could feel that the other party possessed extremely terrifying defensive power.

At least it was the existence of the peak of the Fifth Realm.

It was truly too difficult for ordinary geniuses to defeat him.

With his strength, wanting to kill him was no problem, but it was too wasteful of time.

Thinking of this, his whole body bloomed with brown patterns, countless golden sands condensed out of thin air, covering his body, condensing into armor.

He felt power surging continuously from his body.

"Swish~"

He swung the combat knife in his hand, rushing out with big strides like the Ninth Realm disaster beast Mountain-Moving Ape.

Terrifying power was released from his body, and the black-skinned transformed martial artist also swung the battle axe and slashed out.

The two collided fiercely.

"Boom!!"

In an instant, Jiang Tao only felt a thick power added to his body.

Letting his power soar crazily, the muscles on his arms bulged with veins.

As the air exploded, the air vibrated, and terrifying giant power was released from his body.

Special ability 【Heavy Earth】 released!

"Boom!!"

Amidst the intense collision sound, the air vibrated, and the transformed martial artist was blasted away like a kite with a broken string.

It turned into nothingness in the air and dissipated in the air.

Jiang Tao stood in place, clenching his combat knife, his expression excited.

"This is the power of 【Heavy Earth】!"

He felt his power achieve a huge improvement, and pure power shattered the bones of the transformed martial artist.

Directly killing him in seconds.

Thinking of this, he rushed toward another transformed martial artist, and the combat knife in his hand swung out suddenly.

"Bang!"

One slash swung out, blasting him away, charging and crashing, and no transformed martial artist could withstand his attack.

At the same time, his points were also rising.

"It's an awakened genius!"

Players around saw this and revealed envious expressions one after another.

With the help of special abilities, their combat power soared, and they were completely unafraid of insect-race transformed martial artists.

At the same time, there were also some geniuses who showed top-tier strength.

Some couldn't beat insect-race transformed warriors, but naturally, there were also geniuses who could defeat them.

Especially awakened geniuses, their combat power was even more powerful.

Especially Fifth Realm awakened geniuses, they killed transformed martial artists as easily as killing chickens.

On the big screen projected on the arena, the top 1000 were announced.

Among them were only over a hundred names, because they successfully killed transformed martial artists.

Especially several dozen people, whose points behind them were rising at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Among them were also several acquaintances of Lin Qi. 【No. 15: Miyamoto Xianyichiro, Points: 10】

This SS-rank genius from the Cherry Blossom Nation had already reached the peak of the Fifth Realm, and plus using the special ability 【Swift Wind】.

The transformed martial artist was also not his opponent and was killed by him one after another, 10 people.

The transformed martial artists on the arena would also resurrect after dying.

There was no need to worry about not having points at all.

25 minutes later, the first match ended, because 2,000 martial artists had already died until only 500 were left.

According to the rules, when only 500 people were left, the competition also ended.

Jiang Tao was transported back to the spectator area and laughed excitedly.

He also saw his own ranking.

【No. 13: Jiang Tao (Xia Guo) Points: 40】

!

And in front of him was also a familiar name.

【No. 12: Miyamoto Xianyichiro, Points: 42】

"Brother Qi, these transformed martial artists are truly strong!"

Jiang Tao revealed a bitter smile: "I have a special ability, and in 25 minutes I only killed 40."

"Even so, it exhausted my physical strength; if their martial arts were a bit higher, this number might be even fewer."

Wan Ming spoke: "Jiang Tao, you are already very amazing, okay."

"Those ranked in front of you are all top-tier geniuses of the third and fourth years of various countries."

"And you have surpassed many geniuses of our second year."

Others looked at Jiang Tao, their expressions amazed.

In just two short months, Jiang Tao had advanced by leaps and bounds, and now in the second-year grade, he was only second to Pei Jiu, Yu Zhuoran, and those few SS-rank geniuses.

Give him a few more months, and he might be able to surpass Li Hanjiang and Yu Zhuoran, those two SS-rank geniuses.

【Please have the players for the second match!】

At the same time, the intelligent voice also sounded in Lin Qi's ears.

His whole person was also shrouded in crimson light, descending onto the arena.

Together with him were 1999 other players.

【Countdown:... 3, 2, 1】

【The second match of the main tournament officially begins!】

After the 30-second countdown ended, Lin Qi held the spear with one hand and stepped on the cement road surface.

The air was filled with gunpowder smoke and the smell of blood.

"Swish swish!!"

Transformed martial artists emerged out of thin air one after another; their skin surged with different colors.

Cyan possessed super speed, gold represented super power, black represented super defense.

Dense, dozens of transformed martial artists appeared in his line of sight.

"Roar~"

Just three meters away from him, there was a transformed martial artist with cyan skin.

As soon as the competition started, his gaze locked onto Lin Qi.

Turned into a cyan light, wielding the long sword in his hand, and pounced toward Lin Qi.

His speed was as fast as lightning, even surpassing the lowest speed of the Sixth Realm.

This was super speed, possessing power far exceeding the realm.

"Too slow!"

Lin Qi revealed a disdainful smile; when the sharp sword carried wind and stabbed toward his neck.

He moved instantly, and the black great spear in his hand swung out.

"Puff~"

The spear tip shook, drawing a perfect silver arc in the air, instantly piercing the neck of the transformed martial artist.

One second, the transformed martial artist turned into nothingness in the air.

Points +1

On the points leaderboard, Lin Qi's name appeared at the 800th position.

"Roar~"

At the same time, another sturdy transformed martial artist with gold skin pounced up.

"Puff~"

But in Lin Qi's eyes, the movements of the transformed martial artist kept slowing down, like a turtle.

Even the transformed martial artist with super speed was the same.

He was already in the late Sixth Realm now; according to his top-tier talent, his speed had already surpassed the lowest speed of a Seventh Realm martial artist.

Dealing with a Fifth Realm peak transformed martial artist was easy.

And this time, the gold-skinned transformed martial artist swung a combat knife, cutting through the air, and slashed down toward his head.

"Swish~"

Lin Qi stepped heavily on the ground with his right foot, the cement shattered, and spider-web-like cracks spread.

He turned into black lightning and rushed out, the black great spear in his hand shook, and the power surged out like a spirit snake, injecting into the sharp spear tip.

"Whoosh!"

The spear tip power flowed, penetrated the air, and pierced the throat of the transformed martial artist.

Points +1

"Puff~ Puff~"

With the start of the competition, he also began to slaughter crazily.

Transformed martial artists died under his spear one after another; his spear-stabbing speed was as fast as lightning, without needing the help of artistic conception power or special abilities.

He could easily kill transformed martial artists.

Just when others were still struggling to resist the transformed martial artists, Lin Qi had already crazily killed dozens of transformed martial artists.

Points rose crazily, Points +1, Points +1, Points +1, Points +1...

On the points leaderboard, his ranking was also rising crazily.

From 800th, it soared all the way, 700th, 600th, 500th, 400th, 300th, 300th...

In just ten minutes, he had already rushed into the top ten, quickly surpassing Jiang Tao and Miyamoto Xianyichiro.

At 12 minutes, Lin Qi officially reached the top.

【No. 1: Lin Qi (Xia Guo), Points: 100】

Lin Qi's soaring quickly attracted the attention of a large number of spectators.

"Who is this Lin Qi?"
