Chapter 682: Chapter 685: Challenger Lin Zhen! (Third update)

Lin Zhen had been recuperating for a month.

The previous battle with the Wolfman had left Lin Zhen seriously injured.

After all, after the Wolfman had consumed the drug, his star power had almost reached 7 million. Without using the Black Hole Devour or the Divine Power Pills, it wouldn’t be easy for Lin Zhen to win, especially when the opponent had many helpers.

After such a long recovery time, only when he was once again able to use Star Energy Transfer did Lin Zhen leave the convenience store.

The first thing he did when he came out was to challenge.

Currently ranked sixth, this ranking is still not satisfactory for Lin Zhen. In thirty-one days, the boundary will be opened, and Lin Zhen wants to secure a place in the top three ahead of schedule.

If he were to challenge, Lin Zhen wanted to challenge the peak. He even ignored Wan Rentu and Luo Fei, directly challenging Chen Tianpeng!

Walking down the long street, some martial artists hiding in the dark were intrigued when they saw Lin Zhen ignoring them and heading directly to the Sword Tomb.

A bold person even ran up to an electric pole close to Lin Zhen and shouted at him, “Lin Zhen, are you going to challenge Chen Tianpeng?”

Lin Zhen simply nodded without saying a word and continued to move forward.

Seeing this, the martial artist jumped down from the electric pole and followed behind Lin Zhen, hoping to see what would happen next.

News spread quickly, like a bird taking flight, and more and more martial artists flocked to Canglang Street.

Although challenges have been frequent recently, challenges between the top ten martial artists are still quite rare. High-level martial artists have a tacit understanding of one another and try not to fight before the opening of the boundary, saving their strength for battles after the opening.

Only Lin Zhen, this dark horse who emerged halfway, eliminated the Wolfman who was in the top ten.

And now this dark horse is on the move again, and is challenging the number one martial artist, Chen Tianpeng!

“Who do you think will win?”

“I believe Chen Tianpeng is stronger.”

“I think so too, but I find Lin Zhen so handsome. Even if he loses, he’s still a hero.”

“Yes, a martial artist should have this kind of fearless spirit. I believe even if Lin Zhen loses this time, his future achievements will not be less than Chen Tianpeng’s.”

“Let’s go quickly, we’ll miss it if we’re late.”

A large group of martial artists followed behind Lin Zhen, and by the time Lin Zhen arrived at the front of the Sword Tomb, almost 10,000 people had followed him!

From the initial twenty-five million, there are only tens of thousands left in the entire urban area. This time, tens of thousands have come, showing the martial artists’ attention to this matter.

Among the crowd, there were even some god-level martial artists from the top ten, watching Lin Zhen with complex emotions in their eyes.

For example, Zhou Xinghai, who is ranked fifth, was secretly clenching his teeth.

He was originally ranked sixth and was very pleased when his points surpassed Lin Zhen. At the same time, he was also wary of Lin Zhen possibly challenging him.

But while he was gathering his strength defensively, he never expected that Lin Zhen wouldn’t even take him seriously. He directly skipped the ranks two, three, four, and five, to challenge Chen Tianpeng in the Sword Tomb.

“Damn it! He completely ignored me… if he loses, I will definitely shove him down hard!”

Zhou Xinghai also followed the crowd, watching Lin Zhen’s actions.

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Sword Tomb, this former swimming pool has been completely transformed into a space exuding an intense sword Qi, making people feel a chill in their hearts.

Lin Zhen tidied up his clothes, carried the Yin-Yang Spear in his hand, took large strides up the steps, and entered the main gate of the Sword Tomb.

Behind him, the martial artists filed in one after another.

“Zing Zing Zing Zing~!!”

Wind blew in from the windows, and the numerous blades suspended upside-down on the ceiling collided with each other, producing a series of crisp sounds.

The indoor swimming pool had already completely dried up, leaving a large pit. Now inside the pit, two people were sitting opposite each other.

Lin Zhen had thought that only Chen Tianpeng would be here, but upon entering, he saw a second person.

One martial artist was clad in green. His entire demeanor was like a drawn sword. Even by only seeing a silhouette, one could distinctly feel the formidable strength of this person.

Chen Tianpeng!

The other martial artist sported a thick mustache and a pair of fierce eyes. In front of him were two enormous butcher knives.

Butcher knives indeed, as they looked like ones used to kill pigs, only much larger. The knives emitted a gloomy cold light that truly made one’s skin crawl.

Wan Rentu!

Chen Tianpeng ranked first and Wan Rentu ranked third. Lin Zhen had not expected to see them together.

Moreover, they seemed to be competing against each other!

Wan Rentu originally had his eyes closed, but as soon as he opened them, a radiant light erupted from them, and his two butcher knives simultaneously rose into the air!

He was also a powerful Spiritual Mind Master!

The two butcher knives swung towards Chen Tianpeng from either side!

By this time, all the onlookers had taken their seats in the stands, watching from afar. However, at this moment, they all instinctively shielded their faces with their hands to protect themselves from the fierce knife Qi.

A slight change came over Lin Zhen’s face. He marveled at Wan Rentu’s powerful aura, and recognized two things. First, Wan Rentu’s star power was even higher than that of a Wolfman on medication, and second, Wan Rentu also possessed a golden level Divine Infant!

Facing such an attack, Lin Zhen had to deal with it carefully, but Chen Tianpeng just casually flicked his fingers.

With a humming sound, a long sword embedded nearby shot up and met the two steel knives head-on!

Succeeding it was a series of explosion sounds, continuous like fireworks, with sparks flying as the three weapons repeatedly clashed in the air!

“Clang, clang, clang~!!!”

After two sounds, Wan Rentu’s butcher knives fell to the ground, turning his face a shade paler.

Wan Rentu stood up, retrieving his knife, he bowed his fists at Chen Tianpeng: “Brother, I admit defeat! After so much training, I still haven’t made you draw your second sword. I can only imagine what would happen if all these 4,900 swords were used.”

Chen Tianpeng nodded slightly, not even turning his head, with a flick of his finger, his sword returned to its place, continuing his slow cultivation.

At this point, Wan Rentu turned his gaze towards Lin Zhen and grinned, it was far from a pretty sight.

“Hehe! Finally a worthy opponent, Lin Zhen, who eliminated the Wolfman, brother, since I lost to you today, I’ll help you swat the flies. I’ll deal with Lin Zhen, what do you think?”

It was only then that Chen Tianpeng answered slowly, “Be quick, kick these annoying bugs out. I’ll give you thirty seconds to solve the problem, is that enough?”

“Brother, you underestimate me. To deal with this greenhorn who thinks he’s top three just for beating a Wolfman, twenty seconds is enough!”

Chen Tianpeng nodded slightly without turning his head.

With a grin, Wan Rentu beckoned Lin Zhen, “Kid! Come on, the clock is ticking, I promised my brother twenty seconds. It’s already been three seconds. Don’t waste time dilly-dallying. If you make me lose face, it won’t end well for you.”

The surrounding martial artists all gasped in unison.

They knew that the top three martial artists in their area were very powerful, but they didn’t expect them to reach this level.

Wan Rentu, ranked third, dared to claim he could defeat Lin Zhen within twenty seconds, and was even dilly-dallying, this utterly disrespected Lin Zhen, implying they were not on the same level.

So, how would Lin Zhen, the challenger, respond?

Many martial artists had already started recording in the Dimensional Universe. Although the news couldn’t be sent out now, it could still be shared in the future, and it was bound to attract attention.

Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes as he looked at Wan Rentu across from him.

He had somewhat underestimated the top three martial artists. Not mentioning Chen Tianpeng right now, the present Wan Rentu was not to be trifled with either!

However, the other party had already set the twenty-second rule, so Lin Zhen didn’t have time to keep standing still.

He needed to make his move, not just a move, but a fierce counterattack!

“Well said, twenty seconds it is, but it’s not three seconds, it’s been five seconds!”

“Boom~!”

The final loud bang and Lin Zhen’s last words reached people’s ears simultaneously, because Lin Zhen had just unleashed a sudden burst of speed that surpassed the speed of sound!

He launched himself like a cannonball. In less than a second, his spear had harnessed all of his star power and was aimed straight at Wan Rentu’s throat!

Of all the weapons, spears were the best at penetrating, concentrating all power in one point and enabling the greatest force!

Wan Rentu hadn’t expected Lin Zhen to strike so swiftly.

This wasn’t regular speed; it was beyond normal speed. Lin Zhen was already upon him before his last words could reach him.

What he didn’t know was that Lin Zhen had used a time acceleration for this attack!

Turn into electricity! Turn into light! This is the secret of speed!

Though Wan Rentu’s star power was higher than Lin Zhen’s, at this moment he couldn’t dodge in time, and could only gather an energy ball in front of him to withstand Lin Zhen’s spear!

Buzz buzz~~~!!

The dazzling electric sparks crackled against the swimming pool’s wall. Both men had pushed their star power to the limit!

At this moment, Lin Zhen used star energy transfer to increase his star power back to seven million. He was determined to make this a killing stroke!

The tip of the Yin-Yang Spear steadily pierced into Wan Rentu’s energy ball, and once it pierced through, Wan Rentu would be eliminated!

In the blink of an eye, five seconds had passed. Only ten seconds were left of their twenty-second agreement!

Given the pace at which Lin Zhen’s spear was piercing into the energy ball, it would definitely break through completely within ten seconds!

Sweat had already started to form on Wan Rentu’s brow. He had never dreamed that Lin Zhen would enhance his star power so much suddenly, and with all his power focused on one point, he was not able to defend anymore!

“Kid! You shall not succeed!”

“Humming~!”

His two butcher knives rose into the air, driven by his spiritual power, they whistled towards Lin Zhen from both sides. He had to turn the tables!
