The Second Move Against Lin Zhen

Doc from America faces Xin Ru Hai from Huaxia.

Kholov from Tsarist Russia faced off against Tang Wenbo from Huaxia.

Chris from the European Union faces Duo Long from Huaxia.

Pogba from the African Union will face Ma Yao from Huaxia.

Sangji from Brazil faces Wei Li from Huaxia.

As for Lin Zhen, in this round of the draw, he drew a Brazil War God was completely unknown.

As the battle began, many Brazil in the stands were still cheering for their War God. Lin Zhen unleashed a Mental Impact, instantly rendering the Brazil War God, who wasn't wearing a mental defense Star Artifact, brain dead and eliminating him from the competition.

The battle ended before the sounds from that side had completely subsided, and Lin Zhen advanced to level 256.

Ignoring everyone else, Lin Zhen took off his helmet and immediately started watching the other matches.

Of the five matches, the first to finish African Union's Pogba and Ma Yao. Under the opponent's fierce attack, Ma Yao held on for about two minutes and lost somewhat badly.

Following Ma Yao's defeat was Wei Li, who lost to Brazil's Sangji and didn't have much of a chance to fight back. Both of Ice City Raging Wind's players stopped at number 512.

However, Lin Zhen was very excited to watch the other three battles.

Xin Ru Hai of the Dragon Slayer Martial Hall faced the previous Doc, without any fear, and fought with great momentum. However, Doc had a special move that Xin Ruhai could not defend against at all.

Doc has a nickname, Silent Doc, and he has a move called Resistance Space, which is very difficult to deal with.

No matter who you are, even the air is compressed in his Resistance Space, making it difficult to move. Xin Ru Hai fought with Doc in the Resistance Space. Despite being injured in many places, he finally managed to stab Doc in the abdomen with a Flying Sword and was eventually eliminated by the opponent's resistance, which was ten times stronger.

Similar to Xin Ru Hai's situation, Tang Wenbo, the War God of Modu, also delivered a phenomenal performance against Kholov. Despite being Bone by the opponent's Gravity Field several times, he still managed to stand up and cleverly took advantage of the moment when the opponent's gravity shifted, charging forward as one with his sword and delivering a heavy blow to Kholov.

The wounded Kholov was furious and wanted to tear Tang Wenbo to pieces, but Tang Wenbo did not give him that chance. Knowing that he had no more chances after his first strike failed, he resolutely drew his sword and committed suicide.

This scene brought tears to the eyes of many Huaxia people, who also highly praised Tang Wenbo and Xin Ru Hai, for they did not bring shame to Huaxia despite their failure.

The subsequent match between Chris and Duo Long was rather uneventful. The two fought for more than ten minutes, Duo Long lost by a single move, which was a decent performance.

However, Lin Zhen felt something was off about the battle. Duo Long wasn't going all out, and Chris seemed to be holding back quite a bit, which made him suspicious.

However, after this round of battles, Huaxia's main fighting force in the God of War Arena is only Lin Zhen and Feng Ni from the Northwest Military Martial Hall, which has led countries around the world to exclaim that Huaxia is no longer viable.

Although Su Mingyue is also from Huaxia, no one thinks Su Mingyue has any competitiveness. After all, she had a bye in the previous round, and her opponent in the last round was an ordinary War God from Africa. Su Mingyue fought with her opponent for a long time before winning, but she did not cause any damage. This made people generally think that the Holy Maiden was just a pretty face.

After the 256th place was determined, there were no major battles in the next round of advancing to the 128th place, as the strong players eliminated their opponents and advanced.

The subsequent 128 advancing to 64 was similar; there were still no clashes between strong players, but the weaker players were basically eliminated.

Su Mingyue still didn't encounter any strong opponents and successfully advanced to level sixty-four.

However, once you get to this point, you'll basically not encounter any weak opponents as you advance further. From level 64 to 32, almost everyone you pass is from the Hall of Fame. Only by passing this round can you be considered one of the world's top War God.

People are looking forward to the next round of draws to see how the matchups will go.

Inside the headquarters of the God of War Alliance, the leaders of the United States, America Tsarist Russia, and the European Union gathered once again.

The America leader spoke first, "This was a complete failure. We shouldn't have assigned Omar to Lin Zhen in the first place. Instead of stopping him, he got a huge show of himself."

"Don't worry too much. Now only a few people in Huaxia are still somewhat competitive, and their defeat is not far off," said the European Union leader.

"Hmph! You don't need to be so confident. I have a feeling that this Lin Zhen might ruin our plans. My opinion is that we absolutely cannot let him advance to the top 32. We must eliminate him in this round. Once he is eliminated, Feng Ni and Su Mingyue won't be able to cause any trouble."

The America leader's insistence also drew the attention of the other two leaders. The European Union leader said, "So what are you planning to do? How about assigning Lin Zhen to Kholov? That way, he'll definitely be eliminated."

Before the America leader could even answer, the Tsarist Russia leader objected. "Absolutely not. Kholov is the only one from our Tsarist Russia who has advanced. We absolutely cannot take any risks with him. Are there really so many people in the world who can't find anyone to stop Lin Zhen?"

The European Union leader shrugged. "There are quite a few people, but very few that we can be confident about. If Kholov can't make arrangements, only Doc from the America has some chance. His Resistance Field has a similar effect to Kholov's Gravity Field, so he should be able to snipe Lin Zhen as well."

Unexpectedly, this was opposed by the America leader. "My reasoning is the same as that of Tsarist Russia. There are not many competitive people left in the America. Whether we can achieve good results depends on Doc, which is related to our country's ranking. Doc cannot take risks."

"This won't work, that won't work, so who do you suggest? We're not confident about the others," the European Union leader said, leaning back in his chair.

At this moment, the America leader smiled and said, "I do have someone in mind who might be able to act as a surprise weapon."

"Who?" the other two asked at the same time.

The America pointed to the list of those who advanced, "It's her."

The two of them took one look and were surprised to find that it was Chris from the European Union.

The European Union leader frowned immediately. "I'm afraid this is not appropriate. Chris is also the European Union's hope, and her strength seems a little lacking to snipe Lin Zhen. She doesn't have the same confidence as Kholov and Doc. You don't want to waste another opportunity, do you?"

The America leader laughed and said, "You all only know one side of the story. In my opinion, this Chris sniper Lin Zhen has the best chance of success."

"Why do you say that?" the other two asked.

"Heh, do you know who Lin Zhen?" the America leader said.

"Who is it? Isn't it Hansen from the European Union?"

"You're wrong. Hansen only has a little money; he doesn't have that ability."

"Could it be Alice, Hansen's superior? We all know they belong to the same assassin organization called Nightingale, founded by Old John."

"It wasn't Alice, it was this woman named Chris. I only found out about it today. She transferred 40 billion to Lin Zhen through Hansen, which is how Lin Zhen obtained the Seven Stars Knife. So I think there might be some unknown relationship between them."

The European Union leader was immediately enraged. "Isn't this an act of betrayal against the European Union by Chris? It's absolutely intolerable. I agree to pair her with Lin Zhen. Moreover, if she dares to hold back in the fight against Lin Zhen, it will prove she's a traitor to the European Union, and I will recommend that Old John execute her!"

Upon hearing that Kholov was no longer needed to participate, the Tsarist Russia leader proactively used his authorized attempts to group Lin Zhen and Chris together.

********

The match list for advancing from 64 to 32 has finally been released amidst much anticipation.

Several high-stakes matches attracted considerable attention.

First, it seems that the good fortune of Su Mingyue, the God Sect Saintess, has come to an end, as she encounters Sangji from Brazil.

People believed that Su Mingyue would be eliminated in the top 32, after all, Sangji was Brazil's number one War God who had personally killed the S-Class Mutated Beast, the anaconda, and was definitely not someone that a delicate beauty like Su Mingyue could contend with.

In addition, Feng Ni, the war War God of the Northwest Military Martial Hall of Huaxia, also met his match: Doc, the War God of America.

But that's not the most eye-catching thing. The most attention-grabbing thing is that Lin Zhen from Huaxia is facing off against Chris from the European Union.

One of these two players ranked first on the Slaughter List in the Preliminary Round, and the other ranked second. However, their encounter means that one of them will not be able to advance to the top 32.

After the group results were announced, Lin Zhen frowned slightly.

Unexpectedly, he ended up facing Chris.

If he had to name the two contestants he least wanted to face, it would be Su Mingyue Chris.

Needless to say, Su Mingyue would most likely give up immediately if she met her, which is not what Lin Zhen wants to see.

Lin Zhen couldn't quite figure out Chris; he always felt she was rather mysterious. Besides, she had lent him 40 billion, which was a great favor, and Lin Zhen wanted to repay her rather than fight her in the ring.

However, the draw results had already been released and could not be changed, so Lin Zhen had no choice but to go on stage.

The first match was between Feng Ni and Doc. The result was similar to the previous match between Doc and Xin Ru Hai. The Resistance Field is almost impossible to break. Feng Ni's repeated attacks were all defeated by the Resistance Field. Although he once posed a threat to Doc, he was eventually eliminated.

Su Mingyue's match against Sangji, as the match began, people shouted to Sangji, "Sangji, you have to go easy on him!"

"Sangji, if you dare to harm even a single hair on the Holy Maiden's head, I will never let you off the hook."

"Using hit-and-run tactics to exhaust her until she gives up—a girl like that isn't meant to be beaten, understand?"

Sangji himself was certain of victory. Seeing Su Mingyue, who looked like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting, he chuckled and said, "Saintess Su, I dare not offend your fans. I advise you to step down from the stage and give up. I really can't bring myself to do it to you."

Su Mingyue smiled calmly, "But I can bring myself to do it."

"Come on then, I'll give you three moves," Sangji said casually.

"Good."

Su Mingyue raised her hand, and suddenly thousands of rays of light flashed in her slender hand, like a sun appearing out of nowhere, catching Sangji off guard.

He instinctively shielded his eyes, and a sword flashed across his throat.

Su Mingyue sheathed her sword and left the stage, Sangji was eliminated!

Next up is the match between Lin Zhen and Chris.

Today's update is Chapter 3, making up for yesterday's monthly vote update. There will be another monthly vote update later.
