Chapter 573

After Lin Qi won, the selection continued.

In the seventh match, Germany's Leon successfully advanced.

In the eighth match, the Sunset Nation's Suxi successfully advanced!

Facing ordinary martial artists, no matter how strong their strength was, if they hadn't awakened two abilities, a huge gap would form in combat power.

Therefore, the battles between the two sides often ended very quickly.

Unknowingly, they arrived at the ninth match.

Lin Qi looked at the two people on the arena; one of them wore golden armor and wielded a gilded staff.

His whole body emitted a fierce and domineering aura; he was none other than Sun Sheng.

And his opponent was a woman over two meters tall, with a burly figure, wearing silver armor.

She was the White Eagle Federation's top-tier genius, Saina Zhagu, who had also awakened two abilities.

A top-tier genius ranked 16th on the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu!

Her luck was bad; the moment she was matched against Sun Sheng, the final result was destined.

A moment after the battle began, he raised an eyebrow, discovering that Sun Sheng, like Li Tianxing, still hadn't used his third ability.

Using only two abilities, he erupted with four times the combat power amplification.

It was estimated that he wanted to defeat his opponent in this way to prove his own strength.

The consequence of doing this was that it took a full several minutes to end the battle.

In the end, Sun Sheng successfully defeated Saina, advanced to the fifth round, passed the selection, and obtained the ninth spot for the Fire Seed Trial.

And in the tenth match, Gu Yang Jian successfully defeated his opponent and obtained the last spot for the trial.

【10th match: Gu Yang Jian (Xia Guo) wins!】

……

On the arena, listening to the intelligent voice's announcement, Gu Yang Jian, wearing blue armor and having handsome features, immediately broke into a smile.

He had also finally obtained a spot.

Regarding the Fire Seed Trial, he also had his own thoughts; if he didn't participate, his future self would definitely regret it.

For the future of the Blue Star civilization, he also wanted to contribute his part.

After Gu Yang Jian was teleported back to the audience seats, the entire audience was also in an uproar.

Some were happy, some were sad!

Many nations' strongest individuals were eliminated and did not obtain a trial spot; sighs were everywhere.

Only the Xia Guo's audience was the happiest.

"Haha, our Xia Guo actually has five geniuses entering the Fire Seed Trial!"

"A full half; it simply set a record!"

"Now, the champion or even the top three will likely be our Xia Guo people!"

"I can't wait to look forward to the next fifth round; who will be the strongest Eighth Realm martial artist, we will know very soon!"

At the same time, King Shanhe projected himself again; he looked around at everyone and said:

"Dear audience and contestants!"

"After four rounds, the ten martial artists of the Lianqiao Realm have all been selected!"

"The defeated contestants should not be discouraged!"

"One month later, everyone will have one more chance to challenge the 10 who advanced; defeat one of them, and you can take their place!"

"Next, we will continue with the fifth round to select the strongest 5 contestants!"

After saying this, his huge Blue Star special effect surfaced in everyone's line of sight.

One could see that it possessed 10 seats, and a huge four-layer pyramid appeared among them.

Only 5 people could enter the second layer.

On the 10 seats, there were circulating little figures representing different contestants, with the awakened power circling around them.

The 10 people were paired up, energy bombarded, and in an instant, a brand-new match schedule was condensed:

【1st match: Augustus (White Eagle Federation) vs Gu Yang Jian (Xia Guo)】

【2nd match: Sun Sheng (Xia Guo) vs Leon (Germany)】

【3rd match: Li Tianxing (Xia Guo) vs Suxi (Sunset)】

【4th match: Andrei (Mao Xiong) vs Qin Shuang (Xia Guo)】

【5th match: Lin Qi (Xia Guo) vs Ajayi (Tianzhu)】

……

Lin Qi saw his opponent at once.

To others, his luck wasn't very good; he encountered the quite powerful Ajayi right from the start.

This genius from the Tianzhu Nation was ranked 6th on the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu.

Whether on the Ten Thousand Beasts Wanshou Xuezhu or the Eighth Realm leaderboard, he was a top-tier genius second only to Augustus and Andrei.

If ranked according to his own heart, Ajayi's strength could be ranked sixth among the ten people.

He was destined to be eliminated in the fifth round.

Now being eliminated by himself was perhaps a good choice.

At this time, Jiang Tao beside him also finished reading the match schedule and whispered:

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, your opponent in this round is Ajayi; you must be careful."

Dean Liu also frowned and said: "Ajayi is the disciple of the Tianzhu Nation's strongest, Ganges Ganges Zunzhe, nicknamed the Canglang Envoy."

"Since his debut, he has always been a top-tier genius, a recognized powerhouse."

"Ranked third on the Eighth Realm leaderboard, this is a top-tier powerhouse."

"Also having awakened two water powers, he is much stronger than Dongshan Fengxiong Dongshan."

Lin Qi nodded; he had also seen this point.

He had encountered quite a few geniuses who had awakened water-attribute abilities in these few rounds.

One was stronger than the other, but in the end, they all lost at his hands.

There would be no exception for this Ajayi.

……

After the match schedule came out, the audience seats were also in an uproar; various discussions were like whistling giant waves, one after another.

"The next round will be spectacular; only five people can advance."

"I wonder how many of our Xia Guo people can advance!"

"I think Sun Sheng, Li Tianxing, and Lin Qi are relatively stable!"

"Gu Yang Jian and Qin Shuang are more precarious; their opponents are very strong, both being in the top two of the Eighth Realm leaderboard."

"……"

……

Above the arena, King Shanhe in silver robes announced loudly:

"The match schedule is out; I announce that the fifth round of the main tournament officially begins!"

After saying this, he transformed into nothingness and dissipated.

Returning to the audience seats, he looked at Inspector Tu Lan; the other party was clearly interested now and was watching even more seriously.

She looked at Augustus and Gu Yang Jian on the arena and could not help but speak up:

"This Augustus is not bad; if he were born in our civilization, he might be able to break through to the Cosmic Third Realm in the future!"

"Also having awakened two abilities, he is clearly more powerful than others!"

"Now that he is in contact with the cosmic virtual network and has better inheritance, it's not like there's no chance!"

The tall Chi Di said calmly: "There will be; now is just a beginning!"

"For our Blue Star civilization, the most urgent matter is to pass the Fire Seed Trial!"

Tu Lan nodded and said: "Of course, they cannot be compared to you; with your talent, as long as you don't die, the Blue Star will definitely rise in the future."

"After all, you are a genius who awakened a special constitution."

Chi Di said calmly: "You think too highly of me!"

"Besides, how did you see that I awakened a special constitution?"

After hearing this, Tu Lan immediately broke into a smile and said:

"I guessed it!"

"I watched that battle of yours in the virtual world, the fight against a rather famous Yu Kong Realm martial artist, Jia Weigu!"

"You displayed combat power far exceeding the Yu Kong Realm!"

Chi Di suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"

No wonder Inspector Tu Lan had a good attitude toward him; now he finally had an answer.

……

"Augustus is still strong; Gu Yang Jian is completely no match."

In the Xia Guo's audience seats, Pei Pei Yiqing sighed.

After hearing this, Jiang Tao shook his head and said: "That's because Gu Yang Jian is too weak!"

"Don't forget, Gu Yang Jian was defeated by Lin Lin Qi Ge across realms!"

Once these words were spoken, everyone reacted; now seeing Gu Yang Jian enter the top 10, they finally realized just how strong Lin Qi once was.

He was actually able to defeat the Eighth Realm Gu Yang Jian across realms.

Then what about Lin Qi now?

His strength would only be more terrifying.

And Lin Qi, facing everyone's worshipful gazes, looked at the arena with a calm expression.

In the first match, Augustus won as a matter of course, becoming the first genius to advance to the top 5.

In the second match, Sun Sheng successfully defeated Germany's Leon and successfully advanced to the next round.

In the third match, Li Tianxing followed closely, successfully defeated the Sunset Nation's Suxi, and successfully advanced!

……

In the audience seats, Sun Sheng looked at Li Tianxing, who had been teleported back, and laughed:

"Tianxing, you took 30 seconds longer than me to defeat your opponent; it seems your strength is still not as good as mine."

Li Tianxing shook his head and said: "Time taken doesn't have meaning; once we are matched, you will know how powerful I am!"

Sun Sheng said indifferently: "You can't win against me!"

Then he looked at Qin Shuang and Andrei on the arena and could not help but ask:

"Who do you think can win between them?"

Li Tianxing looked at the two sides fighting on the arena, frowned, and said:

"Although I hope Sister Qin Shuang can win, compared to the Mao Xiong Nation's Andrei, there is still a clear gap!"

Sun Sheng nodded and said: "I think so too; I hope she won't be beaten up by Qin Yue!"

……

On the arena

【4th match: Andrei (Mao Xiong Nation) wins!】

Following the intelligent voice's announcement, the fourth match officially ended.

Andrei, with a burly figure, a crew cut, and indifferent features, curled his mouth up, revealing a smile.

Looking at the special effect projected in the sky, a virtual little figure covered in ice crystals, along with his seat, rose to the second layer of the pyramid.

In the Xia Guo's audience seats, Qin Shuang was teleported back.

With a depressed expression, she smiled bitterly at her sister Qin Yue:

"Sister, I lost!"

Qin Yue comforted her: "Losing is losing; anyway, you have already entered the Fire Seed Trial."

Qin Shuang smiled bitterly: "I originally thought about getting the champion, but now it seems I overestimated myself!"

Qin Yue looked at the arena and said: "Continue watching the match; it's Lin Qi's turn!"

Qin Shuang nodded; she lost to Andrei, but she didn't know if Lin Qi could defeat Ajayi?

After all, Ajayi's strength was not inferior compared to Andrei's!

……

In the Tianzhu Nation's audience seats.

A man in blue robes slowly stood up; his temperament was gentle, his eyes were bright, and he had a faint beard.

Through his bright eyes, it seemed one could see the vast deep sea hidden within his body!

As unfathomable as the sea!

"Ajayi, go; fight to your heart's content, don't leave yourself any regrets!"

In the front row, a middle-aged man in white robes, with a lean physique and a thick head of white hair, spoke slowly.

He was the Tianzhu Nation's strongest—Ganges Ganges Zunzhe!

He looked ordinary, but he was a top-tier powerhouse who could be ranked in the top five of the Blue Star.

Ajayi nodded, amidst everyone's cheers.

He slowly transformed into a crimson pillar of light and descended onto the arena.

"Boom!"

Ten seconds later, Ajayi, wearing blue battle armor and wielding a giant silver battle saber, walked out from the crimson pillar of light.

His physique was even more burly than the Sakura Nation's Dongshan Fengxiong Dongshan, exceeding two meters and one.

Broad-shouldered and thick-waisted, his muscles were like forged steel, containing vast power like raging waves.

The silver battle saber in his hand was also modified based on a great saber, emitting astonishing cold light in the air.

Ajayi's gaze was serious as he looked at Lin Qi, who had walked out from the crimson pillar of light opposite him.

The other party wore black-gold battle armor and a great spear, and although he was not as burly as himself, he had an intense sharpness, as if he could cut through everything.

He was full of curiosity about Lin Qi; Lin Qi was a legend who had defeated countless strong enemies along the way.

In the selection, he had also defeated countless strong enemies all the way!

Now he was matched against him; he had watched the other party's battles, and he was a strong enemy.

"Lin Qi, we finally meet!"

"We are both fighting for the Blue Star civilization; I hope that through this match, everyone can gain something and reach a win-win situation!"

After hearing Ajayi's words, Lin Qi secretly thought: This Ajayi is quite broad-minded.

So he also spoke: "Not bad; I hope we can both gain something."

He secretly thought that the premise of gaining something was based on him winning.

Victory and improvement—he wanted both!

【Countdown:... 3, 2, 1】

【The fifth match officially begins!】

……

In the audience seats, the sound of the intelligent voice reached the ears of tens of millions of viewers.

"Boom!"

On the arena, a terrifying aura erupted again; Ajayi swung his battle saber, and blue water currents circled around his body.

They condensed into endless water current vortexes, and a blue domain spread out from his body.

The speed of the vortexes accelerated, and within a breath, the vortexes expanded, making the arena look imposing.

The air became moist, as if it had turned into a vast ocean!

The next moment, he swung his battle saber and slashed out fiercely; a giant water current saber Gang slashed out head-on!

And he himself was also wrapped in the water current, taking the initiative!

"Boom!!"

He was burly and had astonishing explosive power; he shot out from where he stood, leaving two deep footprints behind.

Sonic booms and the sound of flowing water mixed, and he swung his battle saber with an unstoppable momentum.

Seeing this scene, Lin Qi had to sigh that Ajayi's move was indeed powerful!

Even more powerful than the Sakura Nation's Dongshan Fengxiong Dongshan.

Different from Dongshan Fengxiong Dongshan, Ajayi awakened 【Water Suppression】 and 【Vortex】.

One focused on strength, one focused on defense!

This gave him a disadvantage in speed, so he condensed water current vortexes to weaken the opponent's speed.

It could also unload the force of the opponent's attacks!

"Boom!"

In an instant, Lin Qi's figure moved suddenly.

His whole body erupted with golden light, double-layered golden patterns surfaced, and another layer of patterns remained dim.

The Golden Golden Gangjin erupted in an instant, exploding together with the gold domain, colliding with the water domain.

"Hum!!"

Lin Qi held the spear with both hands, the black-gold spear shaft trembled, Golden Gangjin was injected into it, and the metal within it vibrated.

"Whoosh~"

The next instant, he shot out like a thunderbolt; the Golden Gangjin and frequency in the great spear vibrated, and shockwaves circulated!

Lin Qi knew this was a good opportunity to train his "Golden Sharpness Volume."

Thinking of this, he suddenly unleashed the Five Styles of Golden Sharpness!

"Bang!"

The great spear stabbed out, golden spear Gang blasted out, colliding with the saber Gang in the air, exploding fiercely and whipping up an energy storm.

The air was filled with gold and blue light spots.

The energy wind did not hinder the two men's movements; they passed through the cracks, erupted with several times the speed of sound, and their weapons blasted out!

"Swish swish!"

At the same time, Ajayi swung his battle saber, unleashing his saber technique—"Canglang Overlapping Blades."

The giant battle saber condensed blue saber Gang and slashed out fiercely!

Nine Layers of Raging Waves!

The vast vortex slashed down like sea waves!

Lin Qi felt the vast force within it; that was "Canglang Overlapping Blades."

He swung the black-gold great spear and exerted force fiercely; veins bulged, like a giant tiger slapping its claws, and the vibration force poured out along with the Golden Gangjin.

Five Styles of Golden Sharpness—Heaven-Shaking Style!

"Bang!!"

In an instant, terrifying force collided, the air exploded, and the water current vortex exploded.

"Bang!"

Lin Qi felt the strength vibrating at high speed, forming shockwaves, and the power was greatly increased.

Although he felt a terrifying force, his body could not stop retreating backward.

His tough physical fitness allowed him to hard-carry it.

An ordinary martial artist facing this saber strike would have broken bones, damaged internal organs, and been slashed to death instantly.

This was the terrifying part of Ajayi; two abilities gave him a tough body and destructive power in his moves!

But this time, the opponent had changed to himself, and it was no longer effective.

After all, he was the 【Golden Golden Gangjin Tyrant Body】; even without using his abilities, the strength of his body was not something ordinary martial artists could compare to.

At this time, Ajayi retreated more than ten steps in succession before stabilizing his figure; his expression was serious.

"Such strong power!"

His own physical strength was already a terrifying existence; 【Water Suppression】 and 【Vortex】 made his strength and defense extraordinary.

Even the Mao Xiong Nation's Andrei might not necessarily have a stronger physical strength than him.

And the "Canglang Overlapping Blades" he practiced increased the power of his moves significantly through continuous overlapping.

This saber technique manual was a five-star rated saber technique manual.

In the No. 9 ruins, although he didn't pass the fourth layer of the Star Fire Tower, he had obtained a five-star rated manual.

Although it was only one-third, it was enough to significantly increase his combat power.

Previous opponents had no one who could go head-to-head with him.

He originally thought he would eventually be matched against Andrei or Augustus.

But this was good; fighting Lin Qi, his saber technique would definitely improve.

Thinking of this, he didn't consider anything else; his whole body was boiling with blood, and vast blood energy surged out like the rushing water of the Yellow River.

"Come again!"

He shouted loudly, swung his giant battle saber, and unleashed the saber technique "Canglang Overlapping Blades" again.

The momentum was even more terrifying!

"Well come!"

Seeing this, Lin Qi swung the great spear fiercely, unleashed the Five Styles of Golden Sharpness again, mobilized his cells, poured vibration force into the great spear, and slashed down with the great spear.

Double vibration waves overlapped, significantly increasing the power.

"Bang!"

The two began a head-on bombardment on the arena!

"Bang bang!!"

Saber Gang and spear Gang collided; the exquisite exertion of force made the destructive power they blasted out stronger wave by wave.

The audience only felt it was too terrifying; the battles in the first four matches were not this terrifying.

It could only be said that the combat power of the two fighting was extremely terrifying.

And Lin Qi, at this time, unleashed the Five Styles of Golden Sharpness to his heart's content, and his destructive power was also getting stronger and stronger.

He clearly felt the improvement of his spear technique.

And his opponent Ajayi's momentum was getting weaker and weaker!

After dozens of rounds of continuous bombardment!

"It's time to end this!"

Lin Qi shouted loudly, and the momentum of his whole body climbed step by step.
