Advancement Moment (Sixth Update)

Lin Zhen had a huge Space Ring. Sometimes when he got loot, he would casually throw it into it. After rummaging around for a bit, he actually found a large bundle of rope.

Lin Zhen picked up the Liquid Metal, which transformed into a long knife, and began cutting bamboo piece by piece to quickly build a bamboo raft.

Only when the bamboo raft is made big enough that the goldfish's mouths can't swallow it can it have a chance to cross the river.

After two full hours of work, a huge bamboo raft was finally completed. Looking at the number of spots available for advancement, they discovered that there were less than two hundred left, while the total number of people in the entire Heavenly Garden was less than four thousand.

There were still many people fighting on the riverbank. This Preliminary Round would not last until the very last moment. Before winter arrived, it was estimated that those who were going to advance would have already advanced, and the remaining people would still be searching for fragments.

Lin Zhen pushed the huge bamboo raft, rushing towards the shore while shouting, "Get out of the way! Anyone who blocks the way will die!"

Some War God, already bloodthirsty for the Gem Fragment, ignored this and charged towards Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen tried to put the bamboo raft into his Space Ring, but found that the raft was a bit too big and couldn't fit inside.

Left with no other choice, he stood on the bamboo raft and fought back against these desperate criminals.

The people blocking the way here are not experts anymore; most of the real experts have left, so these people pose little threat to Lin Zhen.

With continuous Teleport and flashes of spear light, one War God after another fell under Lin Zhen's spear.

Despite this, many people still poured out of the bamboo forest on the riverbank. When they saw Lin Zhen's incredibly dense Treasure Light, they immediately charged over with bloodshot eyes.

Lin Zhen had no chance to push the bamboo raft down the river and could only engage in a frantic fight with these people on the shore.

Outside the Virtual World, people watched the large screen, anxiously awaiting the results.

"Congratulations to Kholov, the Tsarist Russian God of War, for arriving at the Garden Cottage and securing a spot in the next round. There are currently one hundred spots remaining."

Many of Kholov's supporters cheered, their strongest player had finally advanced, and the Champion of this Arena Tournament was in the bag.

Meanwhile, Lin Zhen's supporters were getting nervous. Why hadn't Lin Zhen advanced yet?

The scrolling text on the big screen was still flashing continuously.

"Lin Zhen, the War God from the Liefeng Bikong Raging Wind Azure Sky Martial Hall in Ice City, Huaxia, has killed the African Union War God XXX."

"Lin Zhen, the War God from the Raging Wind Azure Sky Martial Hall in Ice City Huaxia, has killed the War God of Huaxia, XXX."

"Lin Zhen, the War God from the Raging Wind Azure Sky Martial Hall in Ice City Huaxia, has killed the India War God XXX."

This kind of subtitle has appeared countless times. Lin Zhen was no longer at the top of the Slaughter List, but after this crazy massacre, he has soared back to the top and left everyone else far behind.

His current kill count has reached 180 people, and he has slaughtered more than 100 people in this short period of time alone.

"Damn! This Lin Zhen is really crazy. He fights so fiercely. If this continues, even if he doesn't participate in the Knockout Round, he probably won't be able to spend all his money in this lifetime."

"What do you know? Lin Zhen is not short of money at all. He donated 30 billion yuan in Capital City in one go. There must be someone attacking him. He must have a lot of Gem Fragment on him right now."

"I think Lin Zhen is in danger. It would be such a pity if she could get a lot more Gem Fragment but couldn't participate in the Knockout Round."

"Of course. Although Lin Zhen is not Hall of Fame Member, his strength has already proven that he deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Every martial artist with strength would like to stand out in the Knockout Round. That is the main event that the whole world is watching. Killing more people at this time is useless."

"Quickly check how many Hall of Fame Member still in Heavenly Garden haven't been promoted yet?"

Some people started checking the number of Hall of Fame members in the Virtual World.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that there were fewer than ten Hall of Fame Member left in the Virtual World.

Among them are Chris, the God of War from Paris in the European Union; Alice, the God of War from Madrid in Europe and America; Su Mingyue, the Holy Maiden of the Divine Grace Church in China; and Kip, the God of War from the Moscow base city in Tsarist Russia, etc.

"What's going on? None of these beauties have advanced? And my Saintess Su is still here?"

"Who knows? I've seen Chris's promotional poster. Even though she's wearing a mask, she should be a super beauty. And Alice is a sex symbol too. If these goddesses don't participate, this War God will be much less interesting."

"I still hope to see Lin Zhen participate, but it seems like it's a bit too late."

Another person has advanced, and there are only fifty spots left on the big screen.

In the Virtual World, few people dared to approach Lin Zhen.

"Who's coming! Huh! Who's coming!"

Lin Zhen moved left and right with the Tyrant Spear in his hand, scaring the remaining dozen or so War God into taking cover.

Seeing that they couldn't handle Lin Zhen, these people finally gave up.

Lin Zhen finally found an opportunity and prepared to push the bamboo raft down the river.

But the moment he turned around, he heard a sound!

"Boom!"

Caught off guard, Lin Zhen's bamboo raft was quietly cleaved in two with a single stroke!

Lin Zhen was furious. When he turned around, he saw that it was Kip, the only surviving member of the Tsardom of Russia Three Warriors.

After delivering a sneak attack, Kip immediately ran towards the bamboo forest in the distance, laughing as he ran, "Lin Zhen, come and chase me! If you chase me, you won't get a spot to advance, and I'll avenge my two brothers."

This person was Heavenly Speedster, running incredibly fast. Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment, but ultimately decided not to pursue him, prioritizing the greater good.

"Even half a bamboo raft can cross a river."

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the Liquid Metal transformed into several hooks, which actually hooked the two sections of the bamboo raft back together.

Lin Zhen disregarded everyone else, pushed the bamboo raft into the water, and began to cross the river.

Kip poked his head out from the bamboo forest and saw that Lin Zhen could actually go into the river like that. He sneered, "It's not that easy to advance. I have a bamboo raft too. Watch me make fun of you in the river."

Lin Zhen went down into the river. Although the bamboo raft was still usable, Lin Zhen had originally planned to use Liquid Metal to make oars to paddle. Now, he could only use two shields as oars, which inevitably slowed down his progress.

I kept glancing at the system; more people had advanced, and there were only twenty spots left.

"This is bad. This time it might really be a disaster. Those damn Russians, they even tried to ambush me at the last minute."

Despite struggling to paddle with the shield, the bamboo raft continued its You You journey towards the opposite bank.

Lin Zhen was struggling forward, while behind him, Kip was riding a bamboo raft, cutting through the waves and rushing past.

Kip's bamboo raft was about 150 meters away from Lin Zhen, a distance beyond Lin Zhen's Teleportation range. As he passed Lin Zhen's raft, he turned back and smiled, "Lin Zhen, bye-bye! There are only a few spots left. I reckon I can get one, but you're in for a tough time, hahaha!"

Upon seeing him, Lin Zhen smiled slightly, "Really? But I think I still have hope."

"Forget it, your lousy bamboo raft is as slow as a tortoise, you should save your breath."

Lin Zhen raised his hand and took down the Liquid Metal, and the bamboo raft split in two.

The underwater waves surged, and a goldfish burst out.

Lin Zhen's body rose into the air, and using the impact of the goldfish as a perfect opportunity, he flew more than thirty meters towards Wei Li's bamboo raft.

Kip was startled and hurriedly sped up to leave, but Lin Zhen Teleport, closing the distance by another hundred meters.

Another goldfish leaped out of the water and lunged at Lin Zhen in mid-air.

The Liquid Metal in his hand transformed into a hook, which he used to snag a bamboo raft more than ten meters away. With a pull and a tug, Lin Zhen dodged the goldfish and landed on the bamboo raft.

"Now I'd like to switch boats with you, is that alright?" Lin Zhen smiled and looked at Kip.

"Me." Kip was a little dumbfounded.

"Roll!"

With a single slash of the Liquid Metal, Kip was eliminated by Lin Zhen.

Thus, the Tsardom of Russia Three Warriors who had insulted Lin Zhen were all eliminated by Lin Zhen himself!

Meanwhile, inside the Garden Cottage, those waiting were extremely anxious.

Su Mingyue stood in front of a seat, pacing anxiously back and forth.

She had arrived long ago, but she wouldn't feel at ease until she saw Lin Zhen. So she reserved a spot for herself, not giving it to anyone else. If there were no spots left when Lin Zhen arrived, she would save the spot for Lin Zhen.

Just as she was getting impatient, a woman dressed in a black Skirt Armor walked up to Su Mingyue.

Su Mingyue raised her head and glanced at the woman. Based on her woman's intuition, she knew that this was also a very outstanding woman, and that she was coming towards her.

Looking at her warily, Su Mingyue said, "This spot is taken."

The woman nodded. "I know, this was saved for Lin Zhen, wasn't it?"

Su Mingyue was taken aback. "How did you know?"

"Of course I know that although the God Sect Saintess is revered by tens of thousands of people, she is actually just a silly girl."

Su Mingyue didn't quite understand what she meant, so she tilted her head to look at her.

"Hehe, what a pitiful and lovely girl. No wonder Lin Zhen likes you. But I think you can try a different approach," the Human Path.

"What method?"

"Why are you so fixated on this position? If you just get rid of all the newcomers, you can make room for Lin Zhen, right?"

Su Mingyue paused for a moment, then shook her head slightly. "That's not fair to the others."

"Silly girl, as long as you and your sweetheart can advance smoothly, who cares if others are fair or not?"

Su Mingyue lowered her head slightly. "I don't want to do that, and I believe Lin Zhen will arrive before it's over; he always has."

"Alright, alright! I give up on you, silly girl. Fine, I'll wait with you. Alice, come and save a spot. The three of us will wait here together."

Alice walked over, sat down next to Chris, and glanced at Su Mingyue: "Saintess Su, you are so beautiful. I actually like you very much."

"Thank you," Su Mingyue replied politely.

The three of them are the only remaining Hall of Fame Member. They occupy three spots and no one dares to say anything. If someone else comes in, they can only move to a later spot to advance.

One by one, people came in, advanced, and disappeared. The number of positions dwindled until, apart from the three of them, there were only five left.

Today's update is Chapter 6. An extra chapter is added for the newly Helm Master Helm Master of this book (Dongxue Qingcheng Wei Bi Han). Thank you for Helm Master generous reward!
