Ultimate God of War Duel (Fourth Update Arrives)
The draw results for the top four teams to advance to the second round immediately drew analysis from analysts around the world.
In their eyes, the combination of Kholov versus Lin Zhen and Al versus Doc was practically a guaranteed Champion for Kholov.
Lin Zhen's Mental Power was indeed very strong, and he beat Shahan without any chance to fight back, but what was Kholov least afraid of?
With his Mental Power already solidified, he fears nothing more than Mind Power Master!
Lin Zhen's Mental Power attack was ineffective against Kholov, and he was also seriously injured. How could he possibly fight this battle?
It's estimated that Kholov will easily pass Lin Zhen's test, and then face the winner Doc and Al.
The two players were evenly matched, and whoever won would reveal all their cards, giving Kholov a chance to handle the situation calmly. Winning the championship was almost a sure thing for him.
Seeing this grouping, Lin Zhen secretly had a headache. If he were in good condition, he really wouldn't be afraid of Kholov, even if Kholov had now advanced to the Quasi-Star Realm.
However, his injuries made it difficult for him to fight for a long time, and his Mental Power was also no match for his opponent, making this battle rather difficult.
Even if Lin Zhen wins, what if the Brain Bug is controlling Kholov?
Lin Zhen didn't know if the Brain Bug could control people with solidified Mental Power, but if it really did, a Stellar Realm Kholov would be far more terrifying than an Stellar Realm Old John.
If Little Warm cannot be brought into the battle, then there is almost no chance of victory.
But no matter what, having come this far, Lin Zhen had to keep fighting.
At this moment, Huaxia was in a state of jubilation because Lin Zhen had entered the top four. As long as he entered the top four, he could at least occupy fourth place in the God of War Alliance.
This is the result. Lin Zhen is already a hero. The Huaxia people are really celebrating and strongly hope that Lin Zhen can create another miracle. If he defeats Kholov, Huaxia will basically win the championship.
Even high-ranking officials in Huaxia intervened, saying that as long as Lin Zhen could win the championship, he would be National Hero, and the high-ranking officials would agree to any of his conditions, as long as they did not violate the greater national interest.
But Lin Zhen was uncertain. In his previous life, Huaxia had reached the top four in the God of War Arena. Could it be that he had been reborn in this life and Huaxia would repeat the same mistakes?
"No! We must win this battle. It's like bringing the finals forward. We absolutely cannot lose."
After taking a short break to catch his breath, as the match time drew near, Lin Zhen silently put on his helmet and waited to enter the ring.

In an open space in the Jiangbei Villa District, An Ning was also waiting anxiously.
She didn't go home; she left Lin Zhen's house and came here, waiting for someone.
After waiting for a while without seeing anyone, An Ning anxiously dialed the number.
The call connected, and it turned out to be Su Mingyue on the other end.
"Yue'er, haven't you arrived yet?"
"It'll be soon. I secretly took Master's flying vehicle out, and we've already gone more than halfway. How's Lin Zhen?"
"The semi-final match is about to begin, but his injury hasn't healed yet. I just checked online, and he's going to face off against Kholov. How can he possibly manage in this condition?"
"Don't worry, I'll be there soon. As long as he's not eliminated, I'll use my Radiance Power to heal him. I've mastered the power of Radiance Particles, so the healing speed is very fast. With your Water Element, we might be able to cure Lin Zhen."
"But people wearing Virtual Helmet are not easy to be disturbed. Even a slight repulsion between their powers can cause serious damage. Are you sure you can handle it?" An Ning was not very reassured.
Su Mingyue paused for a moment. "Sister An Ning, don't worry. Lin Zhen and I have absorbed the Lifebound Star Crystal. The Radiance Power is from the same source, so there will definitely be no rejection."
An Ning was also taken aback for a moment, then said with a hint of annoyance, half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Yue'er, you've made me jealous."
Unexpectedly, Su Mingyue also said, "Sister An Ning, actually I'm a little jealous of you, because... because you are Lin Zhen's first love."
Hearing Su Mingyue's straightforward words, An Ning couldn't help but smile, and the slight annoyance she had just felt vanished. "Come on, let's try to give him a surprise."
"Hmm!" Su Mingyue nodded solemnly, and pushed the aircraft to accelerate again, only to find that it was already at its maximum speed.

The ring reappeared, and this time Lin Zhen didn't look at the surrounding audience seats; all his attention was focused on Kholov opposite him.
Kholov was still as wild and fierce as ever, standing over two meters tall and weighing nearly two hundred kilograms, with incredibly exaggerated muscles all over his body, like a giant Arctic.
Simply standing there, he exudes an irresistible aura.
Upon seeing Lin Zhen appear on the ring, Kholov grinned widely. "Lin Zhen, do you know how long I've been waiting for this fight?"
"I don't know, but I do know I've been waiting for a long time."
"Haha, Lin Zhen, ever since you killed my brother Ivan, we have been sworn enemies. You also eliminated three of my friends in the Preliminary Round, bringing shame to my country. I remember all of this. This God of War Arena is just the beginning of your nightmare."
As he spoke, Kholov took huge strides toward Lin Zhen.
"When I learned of my brother's death, I swore to avenge him. Unfortunately, the air route wasn't open then, which allowed you, you rat-like creature, to live a few more years. But now is just the right time. Just as you're about to rise to power, I'll crush you mercilessly, and then..."
Kholov had already walked up to Lin Zhen. "Then, in reality, I will absolutely find your home and tear you and your family to shreds, as well as your two girlfriends. I will ravage them to death. I, Kholov, guarantee you this with my life!"
Lin Zhen looked into Kholov's eyes. "I also swear on my life that you will never have such a chance. You cannot win this God of War Arena today, and I will hunt you down and grind you to dust! Never to be reborn!"
"Heh! What a spirited little fellow. But unfortunately, I, Kholov, am already a Quasi-Star Realm. Even if you were Stellar Realm today, you would still die!"
Kholov suddenly roared, his body flashing with light, and several Star Artifact appeared at the same time.
Top-Grade Star Artifact War Hammer, Top-Grade Star Artifact Weapon armor and helmet, and Top-Grade Star Artifact shield!
"To deal with you, to win this God of War Arena, my motherland has given me its full support. Laughable Lin Zhen, do you think you still have a chance? Die!"
The enormous War Hammer in his hand was like Thor's Hammer; with one strike, Space Crack appeared within the virtual environment!
An attack from the power of the Stellar Realm!
The Heavenly Strength King, Kholov, who was at the Quasi-Star Realm, possessed the power of the Stellar Realm with a casual strike!
Lin Zhen's Broken Jade Long Spear appeared in his hand. After being infused with Gold Qi, it reached the level of Top-Grade Star Artifact. He stood firm and withstood Kholov's attack with Immovable as a Mountain strength!
He couldn't dodge the first blow; that would only embolden Kholov. He had to let his opponent know that he wasn't someone to be easily defeated. Let's get to the real fight as soon as possible!
"Boom!"
The virtual arena environment began to shake upon impact, and the images seen by people in every street and alley were shaky.
At that moment, 70 percent of the world's population covered their ears; the impact sound coming from the virtual environment was too loud!
Lin Zhen's Broken Jade Long Spear even bent for a moment. Although both were Top-Grade Star Artifact, the War Hammer's attack power was still much stronger!
Lin Zhen did not retreat, but his body was actually slammed to the edge of the arena by the huge impact!
The virtual arena was made of simulated virtual bluestone slabs, which were extremely sturdy and durable, but Lin Zhen's feet actually created two ruts!
Similarly, after this attack, Kholov actually staggered back several steps.
Through the close-up of the virtual camera, people can clearly see that there is even a slight crack in the web of Kholov's hand, indicating that the blow just now actually injured his palm!
"Whoosh!"
The whole world was in an uproar at that moment.
Huaxia netizens, in particular, were going crazy. Lin Zhen actually withstood Kholov's attack, withstood the attack of the Heavenly Strength King at the Quasi-Star Realm, and even cracked his tiger's mouth!
"Lin Zhen, I fucking love you! You're so cool!"
"Lin Zhen is amazing, you are the pride of Huaxia, I will never speak ill of you again from now on."
"Waaah... I was so moved I cried. Maybe a miracle really will happen."
"Lin Zhen, grant me a child. It will surely have the best genes in the world. I promise I won't bother you. Just give me a little bit of what you gave to Saintess Su and An Ning."
The other War God were speechless. How could Lin Zhen possibly do that? Kholov usually ended the battle with a single blow, so how could Lin Zhen withstand his attacks?
Could there really be some unexpected twist in this battle?
Inside the virtual environment, Lin Zhen put down his gun and began to move forward slowly.
Kholov squeezed his War Hammer and walked toward Lin Zhen again, the two getting closer to each other.
The atmosphere was incredibly tense; people were so nervous they could hardly breathe, their hearts pounding as they awaited the start of an even more intense battle.
"Look! Lin Zhen's chest!"
Someone spoke first, and then all eyes in the world fell on Lin Zhen's chest.
Bright red blood had already seeped out from under the tightly wrapped white bandages.
The clash with Kholov just now reopened Lin Zhen's wound.
If it weren't for this, people would have almost forgotten that Lin Zhen was also seriously injured.
Can Lin Zhen still fight like this?
Amidst the skeptical gazes of the people, Lin Zhen made his move!
Teleport!
A blur streaked through the air as Lin Zhen's Long Spear, like a rolling river, surged towards Kholov with towering waves.
"Good! Let's fight!"
Kholov roared, swinging his War Hammer like a cold storm from Siberia, and engaged in a frenzied exchange of blows with Lin Zhen.
In an instant, the ground shook violently! The entire arena trembled, and the spectators felt as if they were about to lose their footing; the scene was shaking as if an earthquake were actually happening!
