Chapter 972: The Final Gamble
On the ground side, a roar like a tsunami broke out.
Lin Zhen was really amazing. He was able to eliminate the veteran strongman Yan Luo Wang of the Endless Race. What a great victory this was.
Dong Xuehan, Tian Nie and Yan Luowang, these three people are the three chariots of the Endless Race, and they rarely fail.
Even Ye Xingcai, who ranked second among the ground races, did not dare to say that he could win against King Yama, but unexpectedly, Lin Zhen did it.
Lin Zhen's victory allowed the ground race to avoid the embarrassing situation of three against five and saved the face of the ground race.
At this point, this round of challenge has ended and all the qualifiers have been determined.
There are a total of eight people who directly qualify, namely Xiong Jing, Ye Xingcai, Augustine, and Lin Zhen from the ground race.
On the side of the Endless Race are Dong Xuehan, Tian Nie, Edward, and Tian Zhuo.
Entering the competition for the fifth and sixth places are King Yama, An Luoqi, He Ying, and the Demon King of Chaos.
The ones competing for the seventh to tenth places are the Dragon King, India, Dark Phoenix, Sky-Splitting Tiger King, Sky Swordsman, Sky Patroller, Red Widow, and Elemental Master.
Because the Endless race has one more person than the Ground race, the Ground race can only be ranked in the top nine.
After the ninth place, it’s directly the eleventh place, and there is no tenth place.
This is a shame for the ground race. Fortunately, Lin is really competitive, otherwise the ground race would be missing one person in the top four.
Small rankings are also worth fighting for. For example, the fifth and sixth places feel very different, and the eighth and tenth places sound different, so the strong ones have to fight for the next round.
The next round of battle is scheduled for tomorrow, which is also the last day.
But Lin Zhen was a little tired of fighting.
Among the top eight, the only person Lin Zhen wanted to fight was Augustine. The reason why he tried so hard to get into the top four was also to fight with Augustine.
As for the others, Lin Zhen has no desire to fight now.
So when the grouping was announced, Lin Zhen made a request.
He did not speak through the dimensional universe, but stood up directly from his seat and said to the podium: "Everyone, I have a request!"
Han Xuan and Old Man Canjing both had a good impression of Lin Zhen, and immediately paid attention when they heard Lin Zhen speak.
"I am here to participate in the challenge. My ultimate target is Augustine, the administrator of the ground race in Skyfire City. Now that I have entered the top four, I request a one-on-one battle with Augustine. This one battle will determine who is stronger between the two of us!"
Han Xuan was stunned for a moment, then said to Lin Zhen in a serious tone: "Please explain it more clearly."
"It's simple. I, Lin Zhen, will admit defeat in all battles with other people, except the battle with Augustine."
Lin Zhen pointed at Augustine and said, "Augustine, if you have the guts, let's have a one-on-one fight. I don't think you need to compete with the others. Without your trump card, you won't be able to achieve anything else. Just you and me, a fight between the two of us will determine the ownership of the third and fourth place of the ground races, and also settle the grudge between you and me. How about it!"
Han Xuan discussed with old man Canjing and felt that it would be better for them to come up with a plan on this matter themselves. Besides, the real host of this challenge was Bai Xue, so their two agreements would not count.
Augustine's face was gloomy and he was thinking in his mind.
Lin Zhen was right. Augustine was not sure he could defeat any of the remaining six people.
Dong Xuehan, Xiong Jing and Tian Nie are invincible to him.
Ye Xingcai and Edward are also difficult to defeat. Only Tianzhuo looks a little weaker, but this person relies not on his trump card but on his marksmanship. Augustine also has no confidence in winning.
Augustine wanted to fight Lin Zhen alone, but he was a little afraid.
The reason why he dared to make a bet with Lin Zhen before was because the difference in status between the two was too great, as was the difference in strength. Augustine believed that he could easily subdue Lin Zhen, so he made the bet without scruples.
But the situation is different now. Lin Zhen’s aggressive pursuit has taken him all the way to the top four positions of the two major races.
All this put too much psychological pressure on Augustine, just like a person running for his life while someone is chasing him and getting closer and closer. It was an uncomfortable feeling.
Especially after advancing to the top four, Augustine was no longer sure about Lin Zhen.
But now, in public, it was difficult for Augustine to refuse Lin Zhen's proposal. If he refused, wouldn't he seem like a coward?
After thinking for a while, Augustine said to Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, don't take it for granted. This is a group fight between eight people. You can't just bet on a fight alone. You have to ask the others if they agree."
As he spoke, Augustine turned his gaze towards Xiong Jing and Ye Xingcai, hoping that they could say something.
Xiong Jing folded his hands in front of his chest and said, "This is your private matter, just make your decision. Anyway, I never expected you to help me with the competition in the first few rounds, so it doesn't matter."
Ye Xingcai didn't say anything, and it seemed that he had the same thoughts as Xiong Jing.
However, what they said did not count, and the four people from the Endless race took the dominant position.
Dong Xuehan spread his hands slightly and said, "Why not? I think everyone will be happy to have two fewer battles. Then you two can handle it separately."
Tian Nie and the others wanted to say something, but seeing Dong Xuehan took the lead in expressing his opinion, they didn't know what to say anymore and just shut up.
Augustine was still unwilling to accept the situation. He shouted again, "No! What you said doesn't count. Only Princess Bai Xue of the Endless Race has the final say. She is not here at the moment, so this matter doesn't count."
As soon as he finished speaking, a large water mirror appeared on the podium, and Bai Xue appeared in the water mirror.
No one knew how this princess of the Endless race, who had never been present, appeared so quickly.
Her stunning beauty astounded the entire audience, and her charming demeanor in every gesture was enough to kill people.
Bai Xue opened her rosy lips and said, "I already know everything about you. Let's follow Lin Zhen's suggestion. The first match tomorrow will be for you two to settle your grudges individually. This will also determine who will be the third and fourth place winners of the ground race."
After saying this, her beautiful peach blossom eyes swept across the crowd.
Almost everyone felt that Shirayuki seemed to be looking at them, which was a wonderful feeling.
Suddenly, most of the men were overwhelmed by the lust and became dizzy.
Lin Zhen gritted his teeth and thought to himself, what a vixen! She has simply taken woman's charm to the extreme.
However, he felt vaguely that Bai Xue was inexplicably familiar.
"Today's competition ends here. The final ranking will be held tomorrow. Let's go."
The water mirror disappeared out of thin air, and Bai Xue was nowhere to be seen, leaving many people feeling lost.
Augustine's efforts failed, and he looked at Lin Zhen fiercely, "Lin Zhen, don't think you can beat me like this, you won't even be able to cry tomorrow!"
Augustine turned around, turned into a stream of light, disappeared into the dimensional universe, and returned to the real world.
Lin Zhen also left the dimensional universe and returned to the house where he was hiding.
He first checked Lin An's situation through the dimensional universe. Only when he saw that Lin Zhen was still safe did he feel relieved.
After closing the dimensional universe and looking at the dim sky of Tianhuo City outside the window, Lin Zhen suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.
Last night was the most enjoyable night Lin Zhen had ever experienced. It also made him miss it immensely. He really wanted to have such an experience again.
However, Lin Zhen is a warrior, and his reason can easily suppress his desires. He doesn't want to play with fire at this critical moment, so he suppresses this idea and decides to stay and practice.
But just because he doesn't go out doesn't mean nothing will happen.
********* This is the management office of the Endless Races in Tianhuo City. It was originally the territory of Tiannie, but now it is occupied by Her Royal Highness Princess Snow White from Qingqiu Mountain.
Tian Nie has been managing Tianhuo City for a long time and has an extremely powerful influence here. He is now listening to reports from his subordinates.
"Reporting to Lord Tian Nie, today Her Royal Highness the Princess's men are continuing to search door to door, but the scale is much smaller. It seems that they are still looking for Lin Zhen's trace."
"Did they find it?"
"Not yet, but I think it will be almost there this time. Those people are carrying soul detectors, which can show everyone's soul fluctuations. If someone is controlled by Lin Zhen to help him cover, they will definitely not be able to escape the detection of the detector."
Tian Nie nodded slightly. It seemed that Her Royal Highness the Princess was really planning to capture Lin Zhen.
But what exactly was she going to do?
"Have you found out what happened last night?"
"We found out something. Our people learned that Dong Xuehan and Lin Zhen appeared in the Chaos Bar last night. The two drank dozens of glasses of Rainbow After the Rain."
“Rainbow after the rain!”
As the manager of Skyfire City, Tian Nie certainly knew what Rainbow After Rain meant. It was something he didn't even dare to drink too much, but the two of them drank dozens of glasses! "What happened next?"
"After finishing the drinks, they all looked a little drunk, especially Master Dong Xuehan, who was almost carried out by Lin Zhen. We have checked the surveillance cameras in the bar and confirmed this."
"Later."
"Later, Lin Zhen took Master Dong Xuehan back to the Skyfire Inn, and probably went to sleep there. Then this morning, Lin Zhen left the inn alone and disappeared, but Master Dong Xuehan took a long time to leave."
Tian Nie showed a trace of anger on his face: "Just sleeping? Is it that simple? If, as you said, the two of them are good drinking buddies, why did Bai Xue mobilize the whole city to capture Lin Zhen this morning? Why hasn't she withdrawn her troops until now? Have you considered all this?"
The subordinate immediately stammered and could not answer.
"But there's no need to rush. Just follow Bai Xue's people and see what's going on over there. If there's any movement, notify me immediately. I want to see what happened yesterday!"
