Chapter 680: Chapter 682: Out of Control!
“Extra, extra! Latest news for Divine Punishment Star: in the Western Continent’s Twelfth Battle Zone, Qin Jianfeng is far ahead and untouchable on the throne of the first place!”
“In the Southern Continent, Boston dominates the competition by defeating seven top-ranked fighters, solidly securing the top spot in the battle zone!”
“In the Northern Continent, the struggle is intense, and the true face of Saintess Feng Qingluan of the Phoenix Clan is stunning. She has become a goddess-like figure in the Original World!”
“In the Eastern Continent’s 68th Battle Zone, Lin Zhen, who was once thought to be a coward, has had a massive outburst. His rank has been rising continuously and has strongly entered the top 1,000. Sir, would you like a newspaper?”
In every corner of the Original World, bars, restaurants, and teahouses were filled with news about the Divine Punishment Star.
Newspapers were also in high demand compared to information within the Dimensional Universe. After all, holding a newspaper and reading at a leisurely pace was a favorite pastime of many people.
“Recently, the Divine Punishment Star has been so lively, with heroes emerging and geniuses everywhere!”
“Yes, but I think the final spot for the Super Divine Body Refinement might be taken by Prince Qin Jianfeng of Da Qin.”
“That’s right, I’m also a die-hard fan of Qin Jianfeng. He’s too strong; did you hear? Ever since Qin Jianfeng picked up his sword, he has only challenged higher-ranking opponents, and he has never lost a single match!”
Another person joined the discussion: “Is it really as amazing as you say? He is a prince; who would dare to defeat him? Maybe they all let him win.”
“Hahaha! That’s just your ignorance. After taking up his sword, Qin Jianfeng left Qin Kingdom to wander and fight alone. He once vowed that if he lost a match, he would cut his long hair short. But up until now, his hair has reached his ankles, and he has to wrap it around his neck like a scarf. He can’t lose even if he wants to!”
“Yes, I also believe that Qin Jianfeng is the strongest, but it’s hard to say. Boston from the Southern Continent is also very strong and has never been defeated in his lifetime. Moreover, this time he defeated seven top-ranked fighters in a row, solidifying his position.”
“You guys like heroes, but I prefer beauties. Feng Qingluan … Oh! Ever since I saw her, I’ve been having insomnia for several nights in a row. She’s not only incredibly powerful, but she’s also extremely beautiful. If she could be my girlfriend, I wouldn’t mind living a thousand years less!”
“You should save your breath. A woman like Feng Qingluan is not just anyone’s dream. You can’t rely on just a couple of skills to win her over.”
“What do you think is going on with Lin Zhen? He suddenly surged as if full of energy. I used to laugh at him, but he has been rising so fast recently that he has broken into the top 1,000 of their battle zone. Could he actually take one of the Qi of Divine Transformation in the end?”
“It’s hard to say, but Lin Zhen is from the New World. The reversal of this kind of civilian Martial Artist has a large number of fans supporting him. Haha! Many people now see him as an inspirational idol in the Divine Punishment Star battle, and he is really lucky.”
“Well, however, I think Lin Zhen’s progress will stop here. I heard he has been too reckless, and the leader of his zone is pursuing him. Some people say there will be big news coming out of the Eastern Continent’s 68th Battle Zone in a day or two.”
“Let us wait and see, the more exciting it is, the better!”
********
Similar discussions were happening in any place in the Original World, and those Martial Artists who were ranked at the top and had strength had a lot of support.
Lin Zhen was ranked in the top 1,000 of his small battle zone, but his fame was solely due to being counted as the worst Martial Artist in the Original World, which attracted a lot of attention.
However, Lin Zhen didn’t care about this kind of attention. What he cared about were the people who had been chasing him.
The Wolfman and the Black Widow!
Since killing the person who had mocked him, Lin Zhen has had a group of people tailing him.
The Black Widow had a tracking Talent called “Spiders and Horses”, which allowed her to track people based on the slightest smell, giving Lin Zhen no chance to catch his breath. As a result, Lin Zhen hadn’t been able to return to the convenience store for a rest in many days.
It wasn’t that Lin Zhen didn’t want to stop and fight, but with the large group that the Wolfman was leading, he wasn’t confident that he’d win. He didn’t want to risk any accidents, so he chose to hide for the time being.
After spending days hiding and maneuvering through the city, Lin Zhen was growing restless.
“This can’t go on!”
In a residential building, Lin Zhen hastily ate some food, watching through the window as a group of Martial Artists poured into the residences. Leading the group was the Black Widow. They were closing in on him.
Within the crowd, the tall figure of the Wolfman was conspicuous, and Lin Zhen still hadn’t faced him in combat.
“My rank has been improving these past few days, and I’m now ranked 920th in the battle zone, but that’s not enough. If I want to fight the Wolfman, the first person I have to deal with is the Black Widow. Otherwise, this woman and her group will continue to track me down, and I won’t have a chance to rest.”
“It seems like I need to use some tricks.”
Lin Zhen secretly made up his mind, looked at the deserted residential building, and decided it was a perfect place to set an ambush.
After observing the path of those people for a moment, Lin Zhen had figured out some patterns.
“The Black Widow is one of the top hundred experts in this area, and her Star Power should be slightly higher than mine. Relying on her high Star Power, her actions have been very showy. Even when coming after me, she is always at the front.”
“There’s about a hundred meters between the Wolfman and her, but if we’re inside a complex building like this, that distance is like a world apart – enough to get a lot done.”
********
“This way! Hurry up!”
The Black Widow ran at the front of the group. In order to avenge her brother, she couldn’t wait to kill Lin Zhen herself.
The Wolfman trailed far behind, trusting in the Black Widow’s abilities. Even if she couldn’t kill Lin Zhen, there was no way he could defeat her quickly, and she would keep him entangled and unable to escape.
Black Widow could now clearly sense Lin Zhen’s presence, just up on the seventh floor.
Not waiting for her companions, she stretched out her hands, and two strands of web shot out, firmly attaching to the window frame. With a flick, she swung her body and flew up into the air!
She entered the room gracefully and landed lightly on the ground.
Before she even landed, she saw Lin Zhen with his fists clenched, giving her a cold smirk.
“It’s so cold out. Aren’t you cold wearing so little? Let me help you warm up!”
Finger Sword Qi!
For each hand, all fingers but the thumb rapidly flicked, sending waves of Sword Qi whistling through the air like a machine gun!
Given the proximity, even with her serpentine agility, Black Widow couldn’t dodge Lin Zhen’s Sword Qi entirely. Soon, she took a hit on her leg.
A bloody hole appeared, and Black Widow let out a shrill scream. Suddenly, strands of web burst out from her body like scattered flower petals, filling the entire room in an instant.
“Lin Zhen! You want to kill me? Turn me into a cocoon first!”
Layers of web emerged, blocking Lin Zhen’s Sword Qi.
“Hmph! Just a petty trick! Break!”
Lin Zhen waved his hand, releasing a Seven Stars Knife imbued with the power of fire. The deep azure flames spread, burning the surrounding web to ashes.
A powerful aura approached from the window; the Wolfman was almost there.
Time was of the essence. Lin Zhen activated Star Energy Transfer!
Four million Star Energy was instantly converted into seven million, and with a thrust of his spear, he attacked the Black Widow.
Facing the suddenly bolstered Lin Zhen, Black Widow immediately knew she was no match for him. She decided to make a bold move; she tore off her chest wrap, and her two pale mounds jiggled in midair. She puffed up her chest towards Lin Zhen and batted her eyes seductively. “Handsome, come…eh!”
She thought it would distract Lin Zhen for a moment, but instead, his spear pierced through her without hesitation, instantly killing her!
Watching Black Widow’s body soar into the air, Lin Zhen spat: “Pah! If you had the beauty of Qing Luan or Xuan’er, you might have succeeded. But unfortunately, with my two future wives as shining examples, what are you worth!”
After killing the Black Widow, Lin Zhen’s ranking soared from over nine hundred to one hundred and one!
Black Widow was a top 100 expert – gaining half her points and adding them to his score sent Lin Zhen rocketing up over eight hundred places, bringing him near the top 100!
Seeing the Black Widow eliminated, the Wolfman, who was almost at the building, felt like his lungs were about to explode.
It wasn’t just because she was eliminated, but also because her top half was naked as she flew off!
No matter what race, no man likes others seeing his woman. The Wolfman was no exception.
At this moment, he felt as if his wolf head had turned green!
He didn’t think that the Black Widow had taken off her clothes voluntarily; they must have been stripped off by Lin Zhen.
When he thought about the legend of Lin Zhen and the Emperor of Nanliang, the Wolfman was consumed with rage. He bellowed, “Lin Zhen! You pervert who specializes in toying with other people’s wives, I’ll eat you alive!”
Lin Zhen had already activated Star Energy Transfer, pushing him to his peak state. He was ready to face the Wolfman but hearing these words, he felt a cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
When did he earn such a reputation?
If this nickname spread throughout the universe, he feared that anyone with a beautiful wife would keep her far away from him.
Although he was satisfied having An Ning, Su Mingyue, Little Phoenix, and Xuan’er, he still felt wronged by this accusation.
“Bah! Even if I do like women, your woman is nothing to my taste! Die!”
Originally, Lin Zhen wanted to avoid confronting the Wolfman immediately after killing the Black Widow, waiting for himself to advance to Level Nine Domain King for a better chance. But now he couldn’t care less; he leaped out the window and thrust his spear directly at the Wolfman!
Mountain-Shaking Spear Technique!
He couldn’t use his powerful Planet Fall move here, but his spear technique could still be executed. Unleashing it carried the power to shake mountains!
Moreover, what was more important was that the Wolfman felt Lin Zhen was in a rage when he launched the spear.
He couldn’t help but curse inwardly. You were the one who stripped off her clothes, and I only mentioned it once, yet you got angry, wanting more after gaining an advantage. You really have no shame!
