Chapter 666: The thorn in the side of all contestants! (Seeking monthly votes)

At this moment, Aidi Si felt a fatal danger and swung the blue sharp sword in her hand.

Blue Golden Gangjin surged forth, like layers of mercury, circling her body and spinning rapidly.

This was her strongest defensive technique; the Law of Water flowed, and even if it couldn't block all the power,

it could continuously weaken the power of the incoming move!

Even against a killing blow imbued with Laws, she had the confidence to block it.

"The opportunity has come!"

Aidi Si thought to herself; once Lin Qi unleashed his killing move, it would be his strongest moment, but also his most vulnerable.

As long as she could stall for less than a second, she was certain she could control the 5 blue swordfish to launch a fatal strike.

Yet, Lin Qi had already anticipated all of this.

The golden threads in the air combined into complex patterns, accompanying Lin Qi as he spun his great spear at high speed, the spiral Golden Gangjin twisting.

Under the enhancement of the Law of Metal, it pierced through the air, penetrating the air; it was endless sharpness, the edge that pierces through everything.

"Pfft—"

The golden glow passed through the flowing water like a high-pressure water jet piercing a steel plate, then penetrated Aidi Si's battle armor without any obstruction.

The force of sharpness tore through her tough skin, muscles, and internal organs, piercing her heart and shredding it into fragments; fresh blood sprayed wildly.

Aidi Si widened her eyes, feeling only a sudden, intense stabbing pain surge into her heart, causing her to lose control of her body.

Even with the strongest recovery ability, it could not immediately restore her heart.

She had lost!

The 5 blue swordfish in the air, having lost their intense control, automatically disintegrated into 50 flying blades in mid-air.

"Clang, clang!!"

Finally, they fell to the ground.

Lin Qi looked at Aidi Si before him and said calmly:

"I said, I would return everything to you."

"Congratulations on being eliminated by me!"

"Your Ten Directions Blood Arena ends here!"

After he finished speaking, Aidi Si's body also turned into nothingness and dissipated into the air.

【Match 50: Lin Qi (Triangulum Galaxy) wins!】

"Let us congratulate contestant Lin Qi from the Triangulum Galaxy; he defeated contestant Aidi Si, completed his revenge, and successfully advanced to the 8th round, becoming the 50th contestant to advance!"

"Clap, clap, clap!!"

"Lin Qi!!"

Under the announcement of the host Sang Qing, thunderous applause and tsunami-like cheers erupted from the audience seats.

"He won!"

"Aidi Si was actually defeated; she is a top-tier genius in the Wanhai Society."

"Her method of controlling telekinetic weapons was extremely exquisite, and with the enhancement of the Law of Water, no contestant was her match, yet she still lost."

"Lin Qi is simply stronger; his grasp of timing and his application of techniques are still above Aidi Si's."

Liu Yuanzhang and the other people from Blue Star clapped vigorously.

"Well done, Lin Qi!"

Liu Yuanzhang was already thinking that with Lin Qi's strength, he might be able to enter the Top 10.

The current Lin Qi was already unstoppable.

Ever since he comprehended the Laws, the path ahead had been smooth sailing.

Under the same realm, he believed Lin Qi would not lose to any genius.

In the high-level seating area.

The Wanhai Society's zone, where all the high-level figures of the Canglan Galaxy were located.

At this time, the second round was nearing its end, and many high-level figures began to log in one after another to watch the competition.

Among them were high-level figures of the Wanhai Society; one after another, their figures possessed powerful auras, like the deep abyss of the sea, as if they could swallow endless planets.

Among them, a deep, thick voice rang out:

"Aidi Si actually lost to a genius from a small civilization."

"She was too careless, losing so miserably!"

"Do not underestimate this Lin Qi; his talent is surprising, his combat consciousness is extremely strong, and it is not unjust for Aidi Si to lose to him."

Another low voice rang out.

"Another genius from our Wanhai Society has been eliminated; we have already fallen behind Lieyang Star, Lei Zetian, and Yuhua Mountain!"

"This one called Lin Qi is a bit interesting; we can pay some attention to him."

And Yaochen, who had been watching Lin Qi from beginning to end, also revealed a smile:

"Not bad, very strong; he truly did not disappoint me."

"Next is the charge for the Top 10!"

"The upcoming opponents, not a single one is easy to deal with, but for a genius who broke into the sixth gate of Lieyang Mountain, these are not issues."

In the contestant space, at the Wanhai Society's contestant seating area.

Aidi Si was teleported back; her expression was ugly, looking at her own hands, her eyes hollow.

In her mind, she was still recalling the battle just now.

He had underestimated Lin Qi's strength; the opponent was a huge margin stronger than two years ago.

These were not transformations that could be brought about just by comprehending the power of Laws.

And she clearly had not realized this point.

And Lin Qi had quickly adapted to the confrontation of the power of Laws, found her weak point, and completed the final spear kill!

In this match, she was completely defeated!

She had been thoroughly surpassed by Lin Qi!

"Aidi Si lost; it's truly hard to accept!"

"Aidi Si was eliminated, and our Wanhai Society only has 5 geniuses left!"

"Otherwise, we would have had 6 geniuses advancing, comparable to Lei Zetian!"

"That Lin Qi from the Triangulum civilization has decent strength, but if he encounters a genius from our Wanhai Society in the next round, I will leave him with a deep impression."

"However, I might be the first to get a bye!"

A handsome man in blue robes spoke slowly; he was the strongest genius of the Wanhai Society, a genius considered impossible to fall out of the Top 10.

In the crowd, the delicate-featured Rouyu looked at Lin Qi on the arena.

She was shocked in her heart; how long had it been, this genius who once defeated her.

Now he was already able to defeat Aidi Si.

And he had even been remembered by name by the strongest genius of the Wanhai Society.

Triangulum Galaxy contestant plaza.

Lin Qi heard the sounds of congratulations from everyone.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, congratulations on successfully defeating Aidi Si and completing your revenge!"

Jiang Miaoyin was the first to speak and congratulate him.

This made Jiang Tao pause; previously, it was always he who spoke first.

He didn't expect that this time, he would actually be beaten to it by his younger sister.

"Many thanks for everyone's praise!"

Lin Qi nodded and sat down, looking at the big screen; he had now entered the Top 79.

He only needed to wait silently for his opponent in the next round.

In his heart, he began to review the battle just now; although it wasn't his first time fighting Aidi Si, he still hadn't completely adapted.

Through this battle with Aidi Si, he adapted very quickly, and the opponent went all out.

It also improved his ability to control the power of Laws.

In the next round, he would be able to mobilize the power of Laws more flexibly.

To put it plainly, his combat power would improve even further.

He hadn't forgotten his goal, which was to charge into the Top 10.

Everyone was on the same starting line; he had no reason to lose to any opponent.

The 7th round of the competition was still ongoing; the competition between geniuses who had comprehended the power of Laws was even more exciting than the previous rounds.

The power of Laws granted them stronger lethality and combat power.

Allowing them to contribute one exciting battle after another.

A day passed quickly; only 70 matches were finished, and 8 matches remained to be resolved on the second day, seamlessly connecting with the 9th round.

The final match also ended quickly!

"Let us congratulate contestant Russell from the Triangulum Galaxy; he successfully defeated Kamusius and advanced to the 8th round!"

Under the announcement of the host Sang Qing, the God of War was teleported back.

He let out a breath.

"It's over!"

"Senior God of War, congratulations on advancing!"

"In our Blue Star civilization, only you and Lin Qi are left!" Jiang Tao said.

The God of War also let out a turbid breath and sighed:

"The opponents are not weak; I also feel the strain!"

"I'm not sure if I can advance in the next round either!"

Lin Qi smiled: "Just do your best!"

Jiang Tao looked at the big screen and said: "Next is the 8th round, and at the same time, the last bye spot will appear."

"Samuel, Yu Miaozhen, and Yao Yu are from the three top forces: Lei Zetian, Yuhua Mountain, and Lieyang Star."

"The one most likely to get a bye next is the strongest genius from the Wanhai Society, Fengshen Valley, Taixing Tower, or the Ice Kingdom."

"I think it's highly likely to be the strongest genius of the Wanhai Society—Byers!"

Everyone discussed in low voices, watching as the host Sang Qing projected and announced loudly:

"Contestants, let us congratulate the 79 contestants who successfully advanced to the 8th round!"

"At the same time, we will seamlessly start the 8th round of the second round of competition, from which the strongest 40 contestants will be decided!"

"At the same time, among the 79 contestants, one contestant will receive a bye, and he will also be the last contestant to receive a bye!"

"Who exactly is this lucky person? Let us wait and see."

"Byers!!"

"Alec!!"

"Wu Qing!"

In the audience seats, countless spectators shouted different names.

"Those who get byes are all experts certified by the system; this is a form of recognition!"

Someone spoke. And in the contestant space, Lieyang Star, Wanhai Society, Fengshen Valley, Taixing Tower, Ice Kingdom...

At the contestant plazas of these top forces, the top experts all looked at the big screen with anticipation.

And at the Triangulum Galaxy contestant seating area.

Feng Hao also revealed a look of anticipation.

Because in their Triangulum Galaxy, no genius had ever received a bye; it had never happened.

He hoped this record would be broken by him.

And not far away, the Blue Star crowd was also watching the big screen.

"Boom!"

Under the gaze of everyone, a huge blue star suddenly exploded, and a burst of blue particles gathered, turning into a human figure.

He wore a set of black-gold battle armor, his figure was tall, his face cold, his eyes deep, holding a spear in one hand, emitting a strong edge, as if he could pierce through everything.

【8th round bye: Lin Qi (Triangulum Galaxy)】

The host was also stunned for a moment after seeing who got the bye, her expression surprised.

But she still announced the result loudly:

"Let us congratulate contestant Lin Qi from the Triangulum Galaxy; he became the lucky one, successfully received a bye to advance to the 9th round, becoming the last contestant to receive a bye!"

And this result immediately caused the audience seats to boil over.

"Why did Lin Qi from the Blue Star civilization get a bye?"

"Did the system make a mistake?"

"This is impossible, he's not the strongest genius from the Wanhai Society, Taixing Tower, Fengshen Valley, or the Ice Kingdom."

"Instead, he's a contestant from an unknown civilization; is this a joke?"

Countless spectators couldn't believe the result they saw.

And the Blue Star spectators were also dumbfounded; it was actually Lin Qi who got the bye; they hadn't even imagined this result.

Yet such a fact had actually happened right before their eyes.

Liu Yuanzhang's expression became excited.

Even the intelligent system recognized Lin Qi's strength, which meant Lin Qi had the strength to enter the Top 10.

Their Blue Star really had someone who could enter the Top 10!

In the high-level viewing area, many high-level figures also revealed expressions of doubt.

"Lin Qi from the Triangulum Galaxy, how could he be the one to get a bye?"

"Did the system change its program?"

"Maybe it's an error; it's not like such things haven't happened before..."

"Wait for the next two rounds, and we'll know if his strength is worthy of a bye!"

In the Triangulum tribe viewing area, the high-level figures also fell silent one after another.

"Even Feng Hao didn't get a bye, why is it Lin Qi from the Blue Star civilization?"

"But it doesn't matter, Feng Hao will prove his strength!"

In the contestant space, at the 5432 contestant plazas, noisy discussions also erupted.

"Why is it Lin Qi from the Triangulum Galaxy?"

"How could it be him?"

"Why isn't it Wu Qing from our Fengshen Galaxy?"

Even Yao Yu from Lieyang Star, Yu Miaozhen from Yuhua Mountain, and Samuel from Lei Zetian revealed expressions of doubt.

And the geniuses from the Wanhai Society, Fengshen Valley, Taixing Tower, and the Ice Kingdom were filled with righteous indignation.

Especially their strongest geniuses, the expressions on their faces turned livid.

"Did the intelligent system malfunction?"

"Lin Qi from the Triangulum Galaxy, I've remembered him!"

"I hope I can be matched with him in the next round; I want to see just how powerful he is!"

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, it's actually you who got the bye!"

The Blue Star crowd was also surprised, and they all looked at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi himself was also stunned.

He didn't expect that he would be the one to get the bye; he was also very surprised.

But he quickly returned to calm; he had confidence in his own strength.

He had confidence in competing for the Top 10.

"I think this system's judgment is quite accurate."

Jiang Miaoyin also nodded and said:

"I think so too."

"Lin Lin Qi Ge has always had the strength to compete for the Top 10; he is no weaker than the strongest genius of any top force!"

Jiang Tao also nodded: "A-Miao is right!"

The God of War smiled: "Lin Qi, from now on, I estimate that geniuses from other galaxies will know you, and they will all view you as a thorn in their side."

Lin Qi said calmly: "It doesn't matter!"

"Anyway, I have to enter the Top 10 sooner or later!"

He looked at the Triangulum tribe's area; the expressions of the Triangulum tribe's geniuses toward him had already changed.

"How could it be that Lin Qi who got the bye?"

Mo Long simply couldn't believe his eyes.

Luo Lin was also surprised for a moment after seeing the result, then returned to calm.

"This is the result derived by the system."

"Maybe we all underestimated Lin Qi; if you're not careful, pray that you get matched with him in the next round."

"I believe quite a few geniuses have the same thought."

Mo Long said: "I will enter the third round."

Luo Lin shook his head: "Look at who your opponent is?"

Mo Long looked at the big screen, and when he saw his opponent, his face changed drastically:

"How could it be... Yao Feng?"

After Lin Qi's bye caused a huge stir, the 8th round officially began.

It was also an extremely exciting round.

Only 39 out of 78 experts could advance; no one would allow themselves to lose.

Even if the opponent was a genius who had comprehended Laws, some geniuses still displayed strength in a league of their own.

For example, Yao Yu, who once again displayed his strength as the number one person, easily defeating his opponent.

He seemed to have broken through to the second realm of the universe, using his powerful physical fitness to crush his opponent.

Besides him, there were Yu Miaozhen from Yuhua Mountain, Samuel from Lei Zetian...

They all easily defeated their opponents.

39 matches, proceeding very quickly!

When the time reached the afternoon, the 39th match also ended.

"Let us congratulate contestant Yao Feng from the Lieyang Star Galaxy; he successfully defeated contestant Mo Long, becoming the 39th genius to advance to the 9th round."

"Yao Feng!!"

Amidst the host's announcement and the tsunami-like cheers from the audience, Mo Long was embarrassingly teleported back to the audience seats.

Luo Lin looked at Mo Long's appearance and teased:

"It seems you have no chance to defeat Lin Qi!"

Mo Long said unconvinced:

"Who told me I was unlucky and got matched with Yao Feng; he is the third-ranked genius of Lieyang Star."

In every second round of the Top 10, Lieyang Star would have 2~3 geniuses enter.

"Yao Feng is also a genius with the strength to enter the Top 10!"

"I'm sure that if Lin Qi was matched with Yao Feng, he would definitely lose!"

Mo Long said through gritted teeth.

Luo Lin nodded: "Maybe it's really as you said, Yao Feng and Lin Qi will meet!"

"Dear audience friends, for the next period of time, we will continue to conduct the 9th round."

"Out of 40 contestants, only 20 contestants will be able to enter the 10th round."

"We are only two matches away from the final Top 10!"

"Next, I announce that the 9th round officially begins!"

Above the arena, the host Sang Qing loudly announced the start of the 9th round.

In front of her were 40 names; they were matched freely, forming a brand-new battle table.

The audience's emotions were high; their physical fitness was extraordinary, and they could stay up all night without sleep.

They just wanted to continue watching the upcoming matches.

Everyone's gaze was also focused on the brand-new battle table.

Lin Qi was the same; he knew that out of 39 contestants, 90% of them wanted to defeat him.

【Match 1: Lin Qi (Triangulum Galaxy) vs Yao Feng (Lieyang Star Galaxy)】

After seeing his opponent, Lin Qi also let out a turbid breath.

It seemed he had been matched with an expert, an expert with the ability to compete for the Top 10.

"Lin Lin Qi Ge, you're in trouble; this time the opponent is Yao Feng."

"He's not easy to deal with."

Jiang Tao was the first to speak.

Jiang Miaoyin shook her head: "So what if he's strong; he can't stop Lin Lin Qi Ge's pace of advancing."

Sun Sheng smiled: "He's just the third-ranked genius of Lieyang Star."

"If it were Yao Yu, maybe it would still be a problem."

Li Tianxing also nodded in agreement: "That is indeed the case."

...,

"Next, let us invite the two contestants of the first match; they are contestant Lin Qi from the Triangulum Galaxy."

"He successfully received a bye in the previous round, making countless contestants envious."

"And his opponent in this round will be the top genius from Lieyang Star, Yao Feng."

"Only the stronger of the two can advance and have the opportunity to compete for the Top 10 spot."

Under the host Sang Qing's loud announcement.
