Chapter 746: Qin's Public Enemy
The importance of holy land warriors to a country is self-evident.
Generally speaking, for a small country like Nanliang, it is amazing for a country to have one or two Holy Land Warriors. Many countries may not even produce a Holy Land Warrior for millions of years. Without Holy Land Warriors, the country is weak and will be looked down upon.
There are five million countries in the entire metaverse, and only a few thousand Holy Land warriors appear every ten years. You can imagine how many Holy Land warriors there are.
More and more people began to gather in Qin, waiting for the start of the holy land.
An arena had been set up early on at the lakeside of Falling Star Lake for the warriors to fight.
It is not so easy to enter the holy land. You must win ten games in a row in the knockout rounds to be guaranteed to enter the wild class. It is like a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. If your strength is slightly weaker, it is impossible to succeed.
Qin State, as the country where the Falling Star Lake is located, has the largest number of contestants. Whenever the selection takes place in the Holy Land, Qin State is as lively as the New Year.
Among them, there is a group of people who belong to a special group in Qin State, and they are the subordinates of the national teacher Qian Tong.
Qian Tong's status in the Qin State is transcendent. As the only saint-level alchemist in the Yuan Realm, Qian Tong's status even exceeds that of the King of Qin. He is sought after and respected by countless people and enjoys too many privileges.
For example, in this Holy Land Warrior Selection, Qian Tong alone has one hundred recommended spots!
At the Imperial Master's Mansion, all the people recommended by Qian Tong have arrived.
Qian Tong sat on the throne in the main hall of the National Master's Mansion, which was decorated with gold and jade, comparable to the imperial palace, and no one would say anything.
He was wearing a golden alchemist robe, with three flowers faintly visible above his head.
These three flowers are the flower of energy, the flower of qi and the flower of spiritual consciousness.
The blooming of the three flowers proves that this warrior's spirit, energy and vitality have reached the peak state. Qian Tong has already reached the peak of the three flowers realm!
Looking down, Qian Tong saw a hundred warriors standing in a row and nodded with satisfaction.
These people are his subordinates, his die-hard followers, and were all carefully selected by Qian Tong.
According to his judgment, if there are no major accidents among these one hundred people, at least ten of them should be able to enter the holy land, which is also his goal.
He already has many holy land warriors under his tutelage, and every ten years he would recommend a group of people to join.
As more and more holy land warriors gathered under his command, Qian Tong's position had become increasingly stable, and it could almost be said that he was the behind-the-scenes emperor of the Qin State.
Qian Tong is a real winner in life as he controls a large number of high-end military forces and the entire Qin Empire's medicine market.
"The list of the first round of matches has been released. I have only one requirement for the first round, and that is that you must pass all of them!"
Qian Tong's tone was majestic, intimidating without him getting angry, and his demeanor of a person who had been in a superior position for a long time was revealed.
"Tell me about your first round matches. Did anyone have a stronger opponent or any problems?"
These warriors looked at each other, and no one said anything. What they meant by not saying anything was that there was no problem.
"Oh! Are you all so confident? That's great. I hope you won't let me down."
"Please rest assured, Saint Master! We will definitely pass this test!"
Among the seventh row of warriors, a warrior named Jiao Xi checked his first round opponent.
Lin Zhen!
He knew this Lin Zhen, who had eliminated Qin Jianfeng and won the first place in the Divine Punishment Star.
However, being able to eliminate Qin Jianfeng is nothing. Qin Jianfeng is so old and has only been practicing for a few years. If Jiao Xi goes, he can easily eliminate Qin Jianfeng.
After all, he is a warrior in the Immortal Realm, not on the same level as the King of the Realm.
"I really got a good draw this time. Lin Zhen is very famous in the Metaverse. After he participated in the competition, he actually had countless fans supporting him. I will eliminate him in the first round and immediately become the focus."
Knowing that Jiao Xi would face Lin Zhen in the first round, everyone competing with him looked at him with envy. It was only one round of battle, but he had the chance to defeat a celebrity. He was really lucky.
Qian Tong asked about the battle situation of the key warriors. Among these one hundred people, there were ten key warriors who Qian Tong believed would definitely be able to enter the holy land. For this reason, he deliberately controlled the registration time so that these ten people would not meet in the knockout round.
In his opinion, the key warriors were basically guaranteed to enter, and he now hoped that a few more of the other warriors would be able to give him surprises.
His eyes swept around and fell on Jiao Xi.
"Jiao Xi, I heard that you played against the champion of the Divine Punishment Star in the first round?"
"Yes, Saint Master, that person is called Lin Zhen."
"Very good, this is a good opportunity to become famous. Lin Zhen is not popular in Qin, but he is definitely popular. When you play against Lin Zhen, you can say that you are my disciple when you have the chance, because in the first elimination match, there must be a lot of people paying attention to your game."
Jiao Xi understood Qian Tong’s meaning. He wanted to take the opportunity to advertise.
"Please rest assured, Master. Jiao Xi will definitely fulfill his mission!"
******** Before each holy land, every contestant's name will be put under the microscope.
When Lin Zhen's name appeared, there was a frenzy in Qin! It had been more than three years since the Divine Punishment Star. There were countless major events every day in the Metaverse, and even countless competitions every day. The events of the Divine Punishment Star had been basically forgotten.
But people in other countries can forget, but the Qin people cannot forget.
They remembered clearly that Qin Jianfeng had basically secured the first place in the Divine Punishment Star. He had been the first since shortly after he entered and remained the first until the moment before the end.
But in the end, Lin Zhen scored the winning goal in the last second and snatched the first place from Qin Jianfeng.
This incident made the Qin people hate Lin Zhen to the core. Although Qin Jianfeng was later confirmed to be a member of the imperial clan, the Qin people did not hate the imperial clan members too much.
At least under Qin Wushang's leadership, Qin became the most powerful country in the Yuan Realm. Even most Qin people still missed him deeply when they knew that Qin Wushang was from the imperial family.
In particular, some admirers of the imperial family criticized Lin Zhen harshly on the Internet.
Unfortunately, Lin Zhen later became a wanted criminal and disappeared without a trace. No one knew where he went. The matter gradually subsided, but the Qin people's hatred for Lin Zhen never diminished.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen, who took away the Qin people’s hopes three years ago, actually appeared in the Holy Land selection this time!
As a result, many Qin people found an opportunity to shout in the dimensional universe, asking Lin Zhen to die in the ring! "Hahaha! Look who I found, isn't this Lin Zhen, the champion of the God Punishment Star? How come he changed his identity to a member of the Qilin clan?"
"Don't you know this? He is just a stray dog who was driven out of Nanliang in disgrace."
"You damn wanted criminal, do you think you'll be alright if you run to Daqin? How did our great motherland begin to decline? It's all because of you, I curse you to get retribution!"
"No need to curse, this guy will get his comeuppance soon. The ring match is about to begin. If he is a Qin warrior, he must be eliminated in the ring!"
"Right, right, right! We can't let him have the chance to crush the amulet, we must kill him!"
"I'm also a contestant. My name is Cai Jie, and my number also starts with 7. Logically, I should have a chance to meet Lin Zhen, but it's a pity that Lin Zhen won't last long enough to meet me. I guess you will be eliminated in the first round."
"Quickly check out who Lin Zhen's opponent is, let's all go and cheer him on!"
"Found it, found it! It's the person recommended by Saint Master Qian! His name is Jiao Xi."
"Great! The people recommended by the Saint Master are all strong. Lin Zhen, you are doomed!"
"Sign up and form a group to watch how Lin Zhen died tragically in the ring. Everyone who comes will be given snacks and small stools. I will pay for the expenses myself!"
"You don't have to pay! Let's all pay. Let's see how Lin Zhen dies. We're all very interested. Hahaha!"
Originally, there were too many masters in this competition, and people should focus their attention on those masters.
But this is Qin, and the Qin people are the home court. The appearance of Lin Zhen, a public enemy of Qin, immediately aroused the hatred of the people across the country, and they even spontaneously organized themselves on the Internet.
Countless people went to watch how Lin Zhen failed. Some went alone, some went in teams, and many people even made banners with slogans, all supporting Jiao Xi or belittling Lin Zhen.
The slogans are varied and extremely sarcastic.
There were even a lot of analytical articles in the dimensional universe, analyzing who was stronger between Lin Zhen and Jiao Xi in terms of combat power.
Such a person is called a data emperor. He can conduct a comprehensive and three-dimensional analysis and even bring out the past records of two people, the comparison of their star power, special skills, realm, popularity and so on.
There are many people who support such posts. After all, they are all warriors and still have some rational judgment.
Some casinos even directly offered handicaps, betting on who would win the battle between Lin Zhen and Jiao Xi.
The limelight from all other masters was stolen by this one focal battle, which made many masters who were planning to make a perfect debut in the first game a little depressed.
Jiao Xi instantly became the most popular warrior in the entire Qin State. It was said that his dimensional universe gained tens of billions of fans in just one day!
This is certainly not because Jiao Xi has great personal charm, and it doesn't even have much to do with Qian Tong. It's all because Lin Zhen has a very bad reputation in Qin State. Everyone hopes that he can kill Lin Zhen in one fell swoop and give the people of Qin State a sense of relief.
The massive action attracted everyone's attention, and Jiao Xi even felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.
It turns out that fighting with Lin Zhen has so many benefits. It seems that I will really become famous this time.
Jiao Xi clenched his fists excitedly and made up his mind that he must play perfectly in the first game, completely crush Lin Zhen and receive the cheers of the crowd.
If he grasps it well, this will be his first step towards the pinnacle of life! (End of this chapter)
