Chapter 381: Chapter 381: Ten Consecutive Victories, Lin Zhen’s Appearance Fee

Translator: 549690339

“It’s Hugler, I bet on him. This guy has hardly ever lost in a real battle.”

“It seems he lost once, to Qin Wu, the hundred consecutive wins master in the main arena.”

“Just that one battle. You don’t really think that Lin Zhen can compare with Qin Wu, do you?”

“Of course not, so I bet on Hugler for this battle.”

Hearing the discussions around him, the young masters next to him looked at Shangguan Jiao: “Diced pepper, you’re not setting us up, right? His opponent is Hugler! The only person who has ever defeated Hugler is Qin Wu, who won a hundred consecutive matches.”

Shangguan Jiao snorted coldly: “Use people without suspicion, suspect people without use. Do you think that I would have dared to call you here if Lin Zhen were just a piece of trash? Just watch.”

On the stage, Lin Zhen calmly looked at Hugler, who would be his first strong opponent.

But only by defeating a strong opponent can a fighter’s value be demonstrated.

This battle will also verify the results of Lin Zhen’s retraining since his rebirth.

“Swish!”

Hugler flipped his palm, and a long spear appeared in his hand.

A top-quality sacred spear.

Lin Zhen didn’t use his Cliff Corner Spear. Its quality had reached the artifact level, and using it would seem too overpowered. Instead, he transformed the Light Annihilation into a bright silver spear, which was also of top-quality sacred level, and held it in his hand.

“Oh, I didn’t expect you to be a spear user too. But at your young age, how can you understand the true essence of spear technique? Using it in front of me is just laughable. Die!”

Before Hugler’s words could fall, his figure suddenly appeared behind Lin Zhen, and a series of spear shadows stabbed out like a storm!

His long spear shook off, and the image twisted. He managed to hit only Lin Zhen’s afterimage.

Over here!

This man is fast enough. His long spear instantly turned into a windmill, blocking Lin Zhen’s stormy spear strikes from the side.

Immovable like a mountain!

Lin Zhen’s pupils shrank slightly. This was the only other person he had encountered besides himself and Zhang Guanyue who knew how to use “immovable like a mountain.”

“Immovable like a mountain” is a unique defensive martial skill created by Zhang Guanyue. However, in the vast universe, it is impossible for only Zhang Guanyue to have some comprehension of it. Hugler was another such person who had comprehended the martial skill of “Immovable like a mountain.”

Intense sparks splashed between the two long spears as Lin Zhen’s attack failed. Hugler quickly switched from defense to offense and launched a counterattack.

“Hahaha! To compete with my spear technique, you need another hundred years of practice!”

“Overturning River!”

Hugler used Overturning River, which was almost identical to Lin Zhen’s spear technique. Moreover, this man had comprehended the wind elemental and roared like a gale when he thrust his spear, which added even more power.

Lin Zhen took a small step back, lowered his waist, and steadied his horse stance. Immovable like a mountain!

As Hugler’s spear whirled like a windmill, his Overturning River was blocked by Lin Zhen!

“This is impossible!”

Hugler roared in shock. “Immovable like a mountain” was his unique spear technique that he had never taught to anyone. How could this unknown young man in front of him know his secret skill?!

“Who are you? How dare you steal my martial skill!”

“Pah! There’s nothing strange in this world. Why should only you know this spear technique? I could say that you stole it from me.”

“You ungrateful brat! You must have stolen my skill. However, it’s all in vain. I want to see how many moves you can steal from me!”

“Sea Treading!”

A massive wave surged, enveloping the entire stage. The long spear swayed like a rising tide. A torrent of spear shadows rolled over like mercury pouring onto the ground.

This Hugler was indeed talented, having learned the sixth layer of the Nine Layers Spear River, “Sea Treading,” which Lin Zhen did not know.

However, Lin Zhen was not afraid of him. Did he think that Lin Zhen had no unique offensive skills?

An energy ball covered the long spear. Thunder Kill!

Electromagnetic power tore through space, passing through the opponent’s tidal attack and striking Hugler’s critical parts.

“Clang clang clang clang!”

Balls of energy exploded in mid-air. The deafening impact made the stage tremble, as the two figures appeared and disappeared.

A streak of spear shadows swept by, leaving a few small wounds on Lin Zhen’s body. However, he remained fearless. His long spear transformed into a straight line, aiming directly at Hugler’s throat.

“Stupid, even knowing that I have ‘Immovable like a mountain,’ you still insist on it!”

Feeling that he had gained an advantage, Hugler’s long spear whirled again, trying to block Lin Zhen’s attack.

Unshakable!

“Creak~~~~!!”

The long spear transformed from Light Annihilation broke through Hugler’s “Immovable like a mountain” and was just a mere three inches away from piercing his throat!

Horror filled Hugler’s heart. What martial skill was this that could break through “Immovable like a mountain” head-on?

He tried to teleport away but was interrupted by Lin Zhen’s Mental Shock!

“What! My 99% diamond instant teleportation was interrupted! How can this kid’s Spiritual Power be so strong?”

The only option was to retreat, so he leaned back, trying to dodge in midair.

But with a flap of Lin Zhen’s Lightning Wings, he suddenly accelerated: “Stay here for me, ahhh!!!”

“Rumble!”

The two became a straight line, crashing into the corner of the ring!

Hugler had discarded his long spear, and at the crucial moment, he used both hands to desperately grab Lin Zhen’s spear tip. His forehead veins bulging, trying to move Lin Zhen’s spear tip away with brute force.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Zhen’s mouth: “You want to compete with me in strength? Go to hell!”

His arms suddenly exerted force, his body transformed into a Galaxy Beast, possessing physical strength far beyond any humanoid life form!

As far as physical strength is concerned, the Galaxy Beast, which can traverse the starry sky, is undoubtedly unparalleled in the universe, something a fragile human life cannot resist!

“Puff!”

The long spear penetrated his body, with thousands of thunder rays bursting from its tip. The dazzling silver struck the ring’s space, creating a stunning effect while turning Hugler’s body into charred remains.

Light Annihilation turned into a white scarf around Lin Zhen’s neck, flicking gently. He patted the small wounds on his body: “You’re not total garbage.”

A flash of white light, and Lin Zhen was transported out of the arena.

In Chris’s intelligent system, Lin Zhen’s data in the arena had changed to: 10 matches, ten consecutive victories, awarded the title of arena warrior.

There were definitely more than a few people on the outer ring who achieved ten consecutive wins, but many played dozens or even hundreds of matches before getting a streak of ten wins. But for someone like Lin Zhen, who got ten consecutive wins as soon as he started, that was extremely rare!

After achieving ten consecutive victories, Lin Zhen could move on to the main arena.

But he didn’t immediately move, choosing to stay and wait because he knew someone would contact him shortly.

As expected, within five seconds, Chris informed Lin Zhen: “Master, someone is calling you using your Dimensional Universe ID, asking to add you as a friend, do you want to accept?”

“Who is it?”

“ID 396855574320111, Shangguan Jiao, Royal family, Comet Level 7…”

“Accept.”

“Beep… Friend added successfully.”

A message came through the intelligent system shortly after: “Hello Lin Zhen, I am Shangguan Jiao, Crown Prince Shangguan’s son. I am waiting for you in the Tianchi Club on the 75th floor, there’s a good opportunity.”

Tianchi Club was a luxury consumption venue for the nobles, a place to spend gold.

“Go to Tianchi Club.”

With a flash of light, Lin Zhen appeared in front of the entrance to Tianchi Club.

The receptionist immediately greeted him: “Hello, are you Mr. Lin Zhen?”

“Yes.”

“The person who made the appointment is already waiting for you, and I’ll help you get there now.”

Another flash of white light, and Lin Zhen arrived at the guest room on the 75th floor.

He gently knocked on the door, and a voice inside said, “Please come in.”

Upon entering, the guest room had a circle of white sofas with a dozen young men and women. When Lin Zhen walked in, the man named Shangguan Jiao laughed heartily and came over.

“Hahaha! Our arena warrior is here, I am Shangguan Jiao, first let me congratulate you on your ten consecutive victories and obtaining the warrior medal.”

“Your Highness, you’re too kind. I can only flex some muscle in the Star Realm stage arena.”

“Don’t say that, defeating Hugler already proves your absolute strength. Please have a seat, I believe we have some topics to discuss.”

Lin Zhen took a seat as requested and waited for Shangguan Jiao to speak.

“Let’s cut to the chase. I admire your strength, and as you know, once a fighter gains fame, they are often hired to help others in boxing matches.”

“Yes, I know.”

“Great, that makes things easier. I checked, and you have poor citizenship with the Solar System being a small Asteroid System that recently joined the Empire. You’re fighting in the arena to change your identity and fate. I can arrange citizenship for you now and hire you as my personal fighter, exclusively competing for me. What do you think?”

Without any hesitation, Lin Zhen replied, “I’m sorry, Your Highness, but I will only accept employment and not become someone’s personal fighter because I have too many things to do.”

Shangguan Jiao frowned slightly, not very satisfied with Lin Zhen’s answer, but since Lin Zhen was firm in his stance, he didn’t say much: “Then I’ll hire you. There are many opponents I need to beat, and you just have to win. Name your price, how much for a fight?”

Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, the others’ eyes lit up as well. They could hire Lin Zhen too! This young man’s strength was absolute, and they all had money, not afraid of Lin Zhen’s high asking price.

Lin Zhen had long been prepared for this and replied immediately, “My request is simple and something I believe Your Highness and all the present guests can fulfill, I need identity.”

“Identity? That’s easy. Not to mention granting you citizenship, as long as you can help me beat my arch-rival, I can give you a knighthood.”

“I can do it too, if you truly have the strength. Maybe my father will take a liking to you, and he could arrange for you to have a baronial title.”

Lin Zhen shook his head with a smile, “It’s not just an identity for me alone. I need it according to a ratio. For every match I fight, the minimum condition is one noble identity, or one hundred citizen identities, or 10,000 poor identities. The more, the better! As long as whoever can help me solve the identity issue, I can defeat any Star Realm Stage opponents for you!”
