Age of Evolution

Chapter 747: Chapter 750: A Violent Beating!

As Jiao Xi appeared, he immediately received countless cheers.

He seemed a little elated and even swaggered around the ring with his sword, causing waves of excitement among the audience. The two fighters on the stage were completely ignored.

After making the round, he landed slowly on his flying sword and came to his seat.

As soon as he landed, a large group of reporters immediately surrounded him.

“Mr. Jiao, how confident are you in winning against Lin Zhen?”

“Mr. Jiao, does the National Master’s recommendation for you to fight Lin Zhen first mean that you are being given special attention?”

“Lin Zhen has already angered the public in the Qin Kingdom. Here is a little girl who has a request for you: You should not defeat him in a single move but rather teach him a good lesson. Can you fulfill her wish?”

“Mr. Jiao, I am a reporter from Reidy County. The people there are already preparing to erect a monument in your honor. Do you have anything to say to them?”

“What do you think of Lin Zhen’s strength?”

The buzzing of reporters was everywhere like flies, but Jiao Xi did not show any impatience.

“One question at a time, please. After all, I can only answer everyone’s questions with my one mouth.”

Jiao Xi smiled and began to answer the questions one by one.

“Against Lin Zhen, I cannot say that I have a 100% chance of winning. After all, this person was once the champion of the Divine Punishment Star, and his strength is very strong. However, I have prepared thoroughly for this battle. If I am rational, I should be able to defeat him within ten moves!”

“The National Master has been extremely kind to me. Regardless of whether I am being groomed as a key figure or not, I will repay him with a resounding victory.”

“Tell the little girl that I will fulfill her wish.”

“There’s no need to erect a monument for me. Thank the people for their good intentions. Jiao Xi will certainly not let them down!”

“As for Lin Zhen’s strength, I can only say that he is a strong man among the World Kings. However, I am sorry to say that I am a strong man in the Longevity Realm. Not only do I plan to win, but I also hope not to give him a chance to crush his amulet. Lin Zhen, I am notifying you here. You better crush your amulet and get lost right away, otherwise, I will grab you, gouge out your eyes, tie your intestines around your neck, and then…*crack*! That will be the end for you, haha!”

Jiao Xi’s confidence infected the reporters on the spot, and a series of enthusiastic reports were published.

Some articles attracted people’s strong support, and some attracted the analysis of data kings. However, no matter how they analyzed and judged, Jiao Xi’s victory was certain. The current focus was on whether Lin Zhen would have a chance to crush his amulet and retreat.

People were discussing loudly, thinking about how to prevent Lin Zhen from crushing his amulet.

The people of the Qin Kingdom were very worried, worried that Lin Zhen would crush the amulet as soon as the match started. If that happened, although they could ridicule Lin Zhen without fear, the outcome would be too dull.

People were waiting patiently, and the snack stalls around the stage were the most popular. People ate and drank, waiting for the ultimate showdown, waiting for the two protagonists to appear.

********

The events here did not affect the fights on the other stages. Millions of fighters were being eliminated at breakneck speed.

The level of the first round of the elimination stage was uneven, with strong and weak fighters. Some people were so far apart in strength that they often got knocked off the stage in just a few moves. Some could just barely crush their amulet in time to save their lives, while others who insisted on persevering despite their lack of strength met their end on the stage.

Instances of eliminating opponents with a single move were not uncommon.

For example, an old lady from Nan Liang, called Zhao Lihua, used a single claw attack, piercing her opponent’s chest and pulling out their heart alive. The opponent managed to crush their amulet, but it only enveloped their lifeless body as it disappeared.

After a series of battles, it was finally almost time for Lin Zhen’s match.

On the stage, a martial artist wearing a cloak, whose face was hidden, was fighting.

This martial artist was also in the Longevity Realm. Once he stepped onto the stage, he simply raised his hand, and his Palm Thunder exploded, blasting his opponent into pieces without them even seeing his face!

This move shocked many spectators. They had not been paying much attention to the stage, but this cloaked martial artist was too powerful.

The opponent was also in the Longevity Realm, but they were defeated without even making a single move.

People remembered this mysterious person who used Palm Thunder.

*********

However, their attention quickly returned to the stage, because the next battle was the long-awaited showdown between Lin Zhen and Jiao Xi.

The stage was being cleaned up, and the two fighters would automatically step onto it once it was ready.

People looked around for Lin Zhen.

It was only when the stage was almost clean that they saw Lin Zhen slowly entering.

When Lin Zhen flew overhead on the Double-headed Demon Dragon, almost all the cameras were pointed at him.

Not a single expression on Lin Zhen’s face would be missed.

They saw Lin Zhen fly over with an ugly expression on his face, looking gloomy enough to drip water.

Seeing this scene, the people of the Qin Kingdom were overjoyed!

“Lin Zhen is afraid!”

“Look, his expression is obviously showing fear!”

“Ladies and gentlemen, we can almost celebrate in advance. When Lin Zhen arrived, his face looked like his mother had died. For a martial artist, mentality is very important. Facing a strong opponent like Jiao Xi, such a mindset is almost impossible to lead to victory!”

The people of the Qin Kingdom spontaneously formed a wave of people. Looking around, the entire area around the stage was a cheering sea. People stood up and sat down in waves, accompanied by their neat clothing, creating a sense of the ocean.

The cheers at this moment resounded through the sky, and people from afar hearing these cheers rushed over.

With such a large commotion, it was undoubtedly Lin Zhen’s appearance. Even the bigwigs atop the Blue Whale from afar cast their gazes over.

Seeing the situation, the broadcast on the back of the blue whale immediately switched to Lin Zhen.

Zhu Ziheng looked at Lin Zhen on the screen and said to the queen next to him: “This person is Lin Zhen.”

The queen nodded, “I know this person. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid you wouldn’t be here today, and I’m very interested in him.”

“Why does the queen say that?”

“Because he abducted the queen of Nan Liang!”

Zhu Ziheng felt a black line on his head, suddenly thinking Lin Zhen was extremely dangerous. He glanced at his beautiful wife, involuntarily moved closer, and protected her even more. He thought that if Lin Zhen wanted to see his queen, he must never let that happen.

Qian Tong slightly narrowed his eyes, thinking that Jiao Xi was so lucky. If he had faced Lin Zhen instead of the few seeded players he had already chosen, it would have been great, and he could have made a name for himself in the first match.

Long Ge’er and Saga secretly cheered for Lin Zhen, but it was not appropriate to shout out their support in this environment.

Although they dared not shout, the cheering group under the ring didn’t care.

As the whole world was jeering at Lin Zhen, their cheering sounded so clear!

“Go Lin Zhen!”

“Lin Zhen is invincible! All-conquering!”

“Husband killer! Sweeping across the Original World!” Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Lin Zhen was just about to greet his cheering team when he heard this voice and almost coughed up blood.

He was a bit frustrated today. The previous day, he had been gearing up to take advantage of Xuan’er, but she backed out at the last minute, saying it wasn’t the right time. She would wait for the right moment to give Lin Zhen a great gift.

Lin Zhen didn’t know what the gift was, but to him, Xuan’er’s pure body would be the best gift. Unfortunately, she couldn’t give it to him yet.

With so much pent-up anger and unable to vent it, he naturally didn’t have a good face as he arrived at the venue today.

However, after arriving at the scene, Lin Zhen discovered something interesting.

He didn’t realize how much the people of the Qin Kingdom hated him. This grand scale of opposition was probably bigger than even an emperor’s enthronement.

“Well! My reputation in Da Qin is already bad enough anyway, so let’s make it even worse.”

Just as Lin Zhen was getting off the two-headed dragon, it was time for the match. The badges on both fighters began to activate the transfer power, teleporting Lin Zhen and Jiao Xi directly onto the stage.

At this moment, countless films were killed in an instant, and the entire stage was shrouded in flashlights.

Jiao Xi across the stage was dressed in white. Although he was far less good-looking than Lin Zhen, he could barely be considered a decent talent. He looked at Lin Zhen with his hands behind his back and a mocking smile at the corner of his mouth.

Lin Zhen straightened his clothes and looked at Jiao Xi.

Jiao Xi didn’t attack immediately. He had to seize this great opportunity to leave a deep impression on the people of the whole country.

“Lin Zhen, do you know who I am?”

“It doesn’t matter who you are. Today, everyone here is here to see me. If it wasn’t for me, you’d be just a nobody!”

Jiao Xi was choked by Lin Zhen’s words, his face turning the color of a pig’s liver.

Lin Zhen was right; if it weren’t for him, the people’s enemy, standing here, who would know which onion Jiao Xi was?

But he couldn’t accept such insulting words, and couldn’t help but become angry.

“How dare you! Lin Zhen, remember my name. I am Jiao Xi, the guest minister under National Master Qian Tong. Today, on behalf of the people of the Da Qin Empire, I will take your life on this stage. Don’t forget, I am the one who killed you when you reach the Yellow Springs!”

While Jiao Xi was righteously indignating, Lin Zhen didn’t seem to care, instead turning to the camera and saying: “Do you all want to see me eliminated?”

“Yes!” The sound from the crowd was deafening.

“Then have you brought enough food? Don’t starve to death. It would be a shame if I didn’t get killed here, but you all starved to death!”

Such blatant provocation made the people of Da Qin even more furious.

However, they didn’t have a unified slogan to curse at Lin Zhen, and the crowd below the stage was in chaos.

Some radicals even threw rotten eggs and tomatoes, but the stage was protected, so they couldn’t hurt Lin Zhen at all.

At this moment, Jiao Xi thought he had to make a move. The long sword in his hand shook, and a myriad of pear blossoms bloomed!

Before his sword was even extended, Lin Zhen made his move!

Armorization!

Armorization was different from the Galaxy Beast transformation. After Lin Zhen’s armorization, he became a humanoid war machine, towering over three meters tall, covered in scale-like armor, with sharp bone spurs protruding. He lunged forward like an ancient beast!

In the process of his attack, he used Instant Movement!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhen was in front of Jiao Xi. His hands grasped out, and the two engaged in a Star Power struggle!

Jiao Xi’s Star Power was 34 million, the same as Lin Zhen. However, with Lin Zhen’s full utilization and the increase in physical strength after armorization, he actually managed to push Jiao Xi to the ground!

Lin Zhen didn’t give Jiao Xi any chance. He directly mounted Jiao Xi, raised his fists the size of watermelons, and rained down a barrage of punches like a torrential downpour!

He wanted to vent all his pent-up frustration in this fight, and he wanted to beat this fool to a pulp!

With each punch landing on flesh, blood and gore flew. At this moment, for the billions of viewers below the stage, there was no sound at all!
