Chapter 313
On the arena.
The moment Lin Chen walked onto the stage, a burst of doubt broke out at the scene.
It was only the fourth match, and Lin Chen went up?
According to their inertial thinking, Lin Chen should be the last to go up.
The stronger the strength, the later the appearance.
This was already an unwritten rule between various competitions.
"The overall strength of Canglan Martial Academy and Tianque Martial Academy still has a gap. The battle just now is proof. Lin Chen choosing to go up now is a last resort. If he loses another match, the impact on Canglan Martial Academy's morale will be very great."
On the viewing stand, a martial artist analyzed rationally, thinking that Lin Chen going up now was to restore morale.
"Still inappropriate. Even if Lin Chen wins this match, Liang Guo has only won two matches in total. There are six matches left. Winning four out of these six matches is almost impossible."
"It seems Canglan Martial Academy is bound to lose. The only highlight now is whether Ling Tianhao and Bian Xinjie will go up."
The rumor that Lu Chuanning, ranked seventh on the Heaven Ranking, was killed by Lin Chen in the Thousand Illusions Secret Realm hadn't been responded to by Lin Chen himself or the Yan Guo imperial family. Whether Lin Chen had the strength of seventh on the Heaven Ranking hadn't been verified.
Even if Wuyuan ranked Lin Chen seventh on the Heaven Ranking, there were still many martial artists who questioned it.
"It seems this Lin Chen doesn't dare to fight us, quite cunning."
Seeing Lin Chen walk onto the arena, Ling Tianhao snorted. Lin Chen's behavior was avoidance.
"Canglan Martial Academy lost, but Lin Chen didn't lose; he's just wanting to save face for himself."
Bian Xinjie thought he had guessed what Lin Chen was thinking. Lin Chen could definitely win this match, so even if Canglan Martial Academy lost later, Lin Chen wouldn't have lost.
Lin Chen didn't dare to fight him and Lin Lin Shixiong Ling.
"I knew it, I should have gone up just now."
"Lin Lin Shixiong Ling, if you had gone up just now, I'm afraid this Lin Chen wouldn't have dared to come up."
A disciple of Tianque Martial Academy said with a smile, causing the disciples of Tianque Martial Academy to burst into laughter.
In their view, Lin Chen's behavior was avoidance, an avoidance behavior to protect his own face.
On the arena, regarding the mocking whispers of the Tianque Martial Academy disciples, Lin Chen didn't pay attention at all, his expression still flat, his eyes looking at this disciple of Tianque Martial Academy, the Long Yinggong in his hand slowly pulled up, just waiting for the referee's start.
Tianque Martial Academy disciple's expression was incomparably ugly. He didn't expect that he would be the one to face Lin Chen. After yesterday's scene, no one dared to underestimate Lin Chen anymore. Even though he was an Eighth-Rank martial artist, he didn't think he would be Lin Chen's opponent.
And he knew very well that after the previous battle, Lin Chen would definitely not hold back in this match.
But he couldn't do it just to admit defeat. As a Han Guo genius martial artist, he had his own pride.
He would at least take one arrow from Lin Chen. If he saw the situation wasn't right, it wouldn't be too late to admit defeat.
Unlike Lin Lin Shidi Han, who gave up after being threatened by Lin Chen's words.
"Competition start!"
The referee opened his mouth, and the moment the word "start" fell, everyone saw a golden light tear through the sky, shooting out with a speed they couldn't believe.
Swish!
In the eyes of Tianque Martial Academy disciple, he only saw a golden light, which instantly filled his entire eyeball, and then... he didn't know anything else.
From beginning to end, standing in place, without any reaction.
At the scene, there was silence!
Everyone's gaze stared fixedly at the blood hole on the brow of the Tianque Martial Academy disciple on the arena.
Bang!
Two breaths later, as the body of the Tianque Martial Academy disciple fell to the ground, a burst of exclamation broke out at the scene.
"One arrow, it really was just one arrow!"
"How did he do it, actually shooting an Eighth-Rank martial artist to death with one arrow."
"I only saw Lin Chen pull the bow, saw this arrow leave the string, and hadn't seen where the arrow went, and this Tianque Martial Academy disciple fell."
Extreme disbelief made it difficult for these geniuses from various countries to control their own emotions at this moment.
This was an Eighth-Rank martial artist, not an unranked martial artist.
Bian Xinjie and Ling Tianhao's smiles froze, and at this moment, there was finally a look of shock in the depths of their eyes.
The other disciples of Tianque Martial Academy had their mouths slightly open, their faces dull, only one person at this moment revealed a look of rejoicing for having survived a disaster.
Thank goodness, thank goodness he sensed the crisis and chose to give up.
Otherwise, the one falling on the arena wouldn't be Lin Lin Shidi Zhao but himself.
At the front viewing stand, Lu Qiguang's expression was iron-blue, while Hou Zhan Tian beside him had a brilliant light in his eyes. At the same time, his entire aura firmly locked onto Lu Qiguang. This time, if Lu Qiguang had any unusual movements, he would be the first to make a move.
He absolutely wouldn't allow what happened yesterday to happen again.
"This... too strong, I admit I can't do it."
On the Yan Guo Martial Academy side, Zuo Fei smiled bitterly and shook his head. As the senior brother of the Royal Martial Academy, he admitted he could defeat this disciple of Tianque Martial Academy, but he absolutely couldn't do it in one move.
Not to mention, using a weapon like a bow and arrow.
Bows and arrows are different from other weapons. To be able to kill an opponent with a bow and arrow, one's own strength must be able to crush the opponent, but since one can crush the opponent, why use a bow and arrow?
If the strength is equal, bows and arrows are not as easy to use as other weapons.
This is the common cognition of the nine countries' martial artists regarding bows and arrows, and it is also the reason why the number of martial artists using bows and arrows as weapons is rare.
Taking an enemy's life from a hundred zhang or a thousand zhang away is indeed very exciting, but that is based on absolute strength crushing. "By now, I believe Lin Chen can really defeat Lu Chuanning and rank seventh on the Heaven Ranking."
Zuo Fei whispered, and his words were also recognized by other disciples around him.
This arrow not only killed the disciple of Tianque Martial Academy but also proved Lin Chen's own strength, worthy of the seventh ranking on the Heaven Ranking.
"How did he do it?"
On the viewing stand, Elder Murong Xin's small mouth was slightly open, looking at Elder Murong Yan: "Sixth Sister, you and Lin Chen had contact in Liang Guo, is it that Liang Guo is secretly cultivating Lin Chen, using the country's resources to cultivate Lin Chen?"
"No."
Elder Murong Yan shook her head. Liang Guo would definitely cultivate a genius like Lin Chen, but Liang Guo's cultivation of young readers was different from other countries; they wouldn't give many resources like other countries, but needed them to obtain them themselves.
"Even if Liang Guo cultivates with all its strength, it must be able to absorb and digest it."
Elder Murong Shuang analyzed rationally from the side. The martial arts resources of each country are naturally more than enough to cultivate a young martial artist, but the problem is whether they can be fully absorbed.
Lower-tier martial artists can only absorb and refine a few types of pills. Even if they eat them as meals, it's useless. Their own absorption and refining ability has an upper limit; otherwise, the geniuses of each country wouldn't need to compete, just pile up resources.
"Compared to our few countries, Liang Guo and Han Guo have more martial arts resources and will have some special martial arts resources that can be given to genius martial artists to let their strength improve rapidly, but there is also an upper limit, and these martial arts resources that can be directly absorbed and refined are mostly rare and hard to find. Families and forces that possess these resources will not easily take them out."
After Elder Murong Shuang finished speaking, the look in her eyes toward Elder Murong Yan carried a trace of envy: "Sixth Sister, now even I, Fourth Sister, am a little envious of you, being able to find such an excellent husband."
While a blush appeared on Elder Murong Yan's pretty face, there was also a trace of helplessness in the depths of her eyes: She would like to marry Lin Chen, but she still had to pass Senior Sister Jiang's test.
On the arena, the referee looked at the corpse of the Tianque Martial Academy disciple on the ground, and his gaze toward Lin Chen also carried a trace of emotion, but as a referee, he naturally had to fulfill his responsibility.
"In this battle, Canglan Martial Academy wins. Next, Canglan Martial Academy will choose someone to fight first."
"Senior, no need."
Lin Chen shook his head: "Canglan Martial Academy's next match will still be fought by this junior!"
Hiss!
Everyone at the scene, because of this sentence from Lin Chen, broke out in a roar again.
"Wheel battle!"
"Lin Chen, he wants to choose a wheel battle!"
Martial Academy Ranking Tournament, individual elimination tournament, there is a rule that if a disciple chooses to fight alone for multiple matches, they must fight until they admit defeat to end it.
It's just that this rule has only appeared twice since the Martial Academy Ranking Tournament was held.
These two times were initiated by the Han Guo geniuses at the time.
This time, even the referee had a look of surprise on his face.
"Are you sure you want to start a wheel battle?"
Once a wheel battle starts, you must either win all or admit defeat and go down; you cannot choose to end it actively in the middle.
"I am sure."
Off the stage, Li Yuan and the others heard this from Lin Chen, but there was a look of deep self-reproach in their eyes. They knew very well that Lin Lin Shidi chose the wheel battle because of Chen Dong's encounter just now. With the two battles of Chen Dong and Lin Lin Shidi, the subsequent battles would inevitably be life-and-death.
And on their side, apart from Lin Lin Shixiong Hu having some chance of winning against the other disciples of Tianque Martial Academy, none of the others did.
But once Lin Lin Shixiong Hu goes up, don't forget that Tianque Martial Academy still has Bian Xinjie and Ling Tianhao waiting.
"Lin Lin Shixiong Li, Senior Brothers, today let this junior show off a bit."
Lin Chen turned back and smiled slightly at Li Yuan and the others. Li Yuan was silent, and after a long while, said: "Lin Lin Shidi, put your own safety first; the martial academy ranking doesn't matter."
"Hmm."
After agreeing, Lin Chen turned and looked at the referee.
"Since that is the case, start the wheel battle. Tianque Martial Academy side..."
"I'll come!"
Ling Tianhao flashed his figure and appeared directly on the arena.
With the strength Lin Chen showed, letting other junior brothers go up would only be sending heads to Lin Chen. Only he and Lin Lin Shixiong Bian could deal with Lin Chen.
Ling Tianhao's going down made the atmosphere at the scene instantly rise.
It's coming!
The battle between Heaven Ranking martial artists they wanted to see finally appeared.
"Lin Chen, even if you defeated Lin Lin Shidi Lu, that's only seventh on the Heaven Ranking. There is a huge gap between each rank of Heaven Ranking martial artists."
Ling Tianhao's entire momentum kept rising, his clothes fluttering without wind. The next moment, a gust of wind blew on the arena. With the appearance of this gust of wind, a long saber appeared in Ling Tianhao's hand.
The long saber was cold, emitting an extremely cold aura. Even outside the arena, many martial artists at the scene felt the chill released by the long saber.
Han Guo, strongest in ice-cold techniques.
