Chapter 63

Is it over?

Everyone stared at each other with wide eyes, looking at the now empty martial arena.

What about the promised battle of the century?

Was it really over in the blink of an eye?

You've got to be kidding!

Jin Haochen, is he really that weak...

"I'm not seeing things, right?"

"Jin Haochen, did he really lose like that?"

"Another one-sided beating, damn, this is too boring, I haven't had enough yet!"

...

Inside the martial arena, everyone slowly came to their senses.

Who is Jin Haochen? He is the famous genius of the 101st class of the Genetic Warrior Division, just like Long Qin is to the 102nd class, standing at the top. At 18 years old, he is a super genius, the most promising strong candidate in this year's internal selection competition.

Did he lose so cleanly and decisively?

From head to toe, not even a hair of Xun Zhan was injured!

...

"What happened?"

"Where are they, haven't they started yet?"

"Why can't I see anyone? Where is Xun Zhan? Could it be another fake?"

More and more students poured in.

The martial arena was empty, leaving only the students discussing and watching the replay, all showing looks of shock. In less than ten seconds, Jin Haochen, who had been on the arena all night and defeated over ten fourth-level Star Warriors...

Was he really killed in one second?

Heavens!

"Is it over?" A figure entered the martial arena, it was Yue Meng's secondary account 'Lemon'.

With an expression of disbelief, as the head of the Genetic Warrior Division, Yue Meng knew very well how strong Jin Haochen was. Having mastered the elemental martial art Nickel Domain, although his spear technique was only at the second level, his use of elemental power made him a standout among junior genetic warriors.

And he lost to Xun Zhan?

"Wow~" Yue Meng's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he did the same thing as the other latecomers.

Watch the battle replay!

...

"Limitless Qi Sea, first level!"

"Little Fish Swim!"

"What? The first move of Seven Spin Slash, 'Evil Dragon Entangle,' mastery of blade intent... proficient!?"

Li Tong's eyes widened in shock.

He also arrived late and was watching the replay, but unlike the other students, Li Tong's gaze was exceptionally sharp, and he felt the deepest impact.

Because he was also cultivating the Limitless Qi Sea!

"I remember... Xun Zhan didn't even learn the Limitless Qi Sea before." Li Tong's face was serious, his mind in turmoil, "Right, the last time Xun Zhan entered the martial arena, he had just advanced to fourth-level Star Warrior, so... he must have been in seclusion for the past month."

"But... just one month???"

Li Tong's breathing quickened, his expression changing drastically.

In just one month, he had mastered the first level of the Limitless Qi Sea to such a degree, perfectly integrating the Little Fish Swim technique. Most importantly—

The first move of Seven Spin Slash, mastery of blade intent, proficient!?

No way!

Li Tong was completely stunned.

...

...

Not just Li Tong was stunned.

Jin Haochen stood there in a daze, still not having recovered. He didn't even know how he lost. It felt like in an instant, he saw the surging waves, and he was already swept away. His proud Nickel Domain couldn't even hinder Xun Zhan in the slightest.

What happened?

Jin Haochen naturally didn't know...

Lin Feng's current physical condition was incredibly abnormal.

As a junior ancient warrior, Lin Feng's physical index was comparable to that of a senior ancient warrior; now, with his brain domain width approaching that of a senior ancient warrior, after nearly two months of intense training, his physical index had already reached the level of a mid-level ancient warrior.

Weakened?

Even if weakened by one level, he would still be a junior ancient warrior, much stronger than Jin Haochen!

Moreover, Lin Feng was using only the energy of heaven and earth.

"Damn it!" Jin Haochen gritted his teeth, having never experienced such humiliation since moving into Area S. His proud and arrogant face was filled with anger, and his eyes revealed a stubborn refusal to admit defeat. Jin Haochen challenged Xun Zhan again, whose record was now 161 wins and 0 losses.

But, he failed.

Because Xun Zhan had already started a new round of challenges.

...

Battle begins!

After more than a month, Lin Feng returned to the martial arena.

First, his battle points were almost depleted; second, his basic genetic liquid was also empty; third...

His understanding of blade techniques had reached a bottleneck.

Lin Feng yearned to use battles to break through the blade intent of the Seven Spin Slash. The first two moves, 'Evil Dragon Entangle' and 'Flying Fish Spin,' had both reached proficiency, just one step away from perfection, but he couldn't break through. Compared to pondering alone, entering the martial arena for battles would increase his chances of breaking through.

Moreover, he could earn some battle points on the side.

163 wins.

165 wins.

167 wins!

...

Lin Feng's record kept improving.

Many fourth-level Star Warriors were also happy to spar with the legendary 'Xun Zhan,' especially ancient warriors, who yearned to gain insights from a peer that they couldn't normally achieve. Nothing was more profound than the experience of actual combat.

Moreover, the 'price' for sparring with Xun Zhan wasn't too high.

20 battle points per session.

Lin Feng wasn't greedy.

Accumulating small gains, and being able to spar with more fourth-level Star Warriors to hone his blade skills...

He enjoyed it.

...

In less than half an hour.

Lin Feng had refreshed his record to 180 wins.

20 consecutive wins!

Net profit of 400 battle points.

"Today... there are so many people." After 20 consecutive battles, Lin Feng took a short rest and only then noticed the dense crowd in the martial arena. Unbeknownst to him, a significant portion of these people were there for him. In fact, Lin Feng was completely unaware of the sensation his 'Xun Zhan' name had caused.

Staying in the dorm every day, Lin Feng focused solely on cultivation, naturally not receiving any news from the academy.

Just like Lin Feng didn't know that the Sunset Martial Hall and the four major martial schools were almost turning the entire Sunset City upside down to find him!

For the current Lin Feng, he only cared about three things—

Family, strength, and money.

※※※

"Refuse the call?"

"Can't even add as a friend!"

Li Tong was a bit dazed.

What to do?

Unlike Yue Meng, who often came to the martial arena for leisure, Li Tong rarely came. He was currently using his old secondary account, a first-level Star Warrior, code 099303, Bucket. Seeing Xun Zhan right in front of him, he was just a step away from the task given by Brother Lei, but...

So close, yet so far.

...

Creating a secondary account was to hide his identity.

Why would Lin Feng use it to make friends? In fact, his main account only had one friend—Tao Jing. For Lin Feng, the purpose of the martial arena was to earn battle points and hone his combat skills, nothing more. Everything else was superficial.

"Phew~" Lin Feng took a short break for a few minutes, then clenched his fist.

Since it's a battle, one must be in the best mental state!

No matter who the opponent is.

"Once I earn 300 battle points, I'll leave." Lin Feng wasn't greedy. He flipped through the online list of the martial arena, passing over the fourth-level Star Warriors he had already challenged, and stopped at a somewhat peculiar name.

"Lemon, code 098222?" Lin Feng pondered.

Opening the profile, it was a slender young man, about 1.75 meters tall, with clear and handsome features.

"Somewhat like Mentor Yue Meng." Lin Feng smiled.

Him then!
