Number One Below Star Realm

Lin Zhen stared at Kholov's body until it turned into white light and disappeared, at which point he breathed a sigh of relief.

The system notification sounded, "The semi-finals have ended. Congratulations to Lin Zhen, the War God of Huaxia Ice City Azure Sky Martial Hall, for advancing to the finals. The finals will begin in one hour."

Meanwhile, another match had already ended, with America's War God Doc defeating EU War God Al to advance to the final.

Lin Zhen will face Doc in the final, Kholov will face Al.

When the system announced Lin Zhen's victory, almost the entire nation of Huaxia rejoiced.

Advancing to the finals means at least a runner-up finish, which translates to at least second place in the World God of War Alliance rankings.

Moreover, at this point, no one would think that the Champion would fall into the hands of others. Lin Zhen could even defeat Kholov, who had advanced to the Stellar Realm, so what was Doc?

Doc isn't a match for Kholov at the Quasi-Star Realm, so how can he fight Lin Zhen?

Firecrackers were set off in the streets and alleys of the Six Great Base Cities of Huaxia, creating a lively atmosphere just like the Chinese New Year. Every household prepared food and drinks, and even made dumplings to celebrate this great victory.

The stands at the God of War Arena were transformed into a sea of jubilation.

Lin Zhen looked around and then slowly took off the Virtual Helmet.

Opening his eyes, Lin Zhen saw Su Mingyue and An Ning beside him still doing their best to treat her, their beautiful faces already covered in sweat.

"A-Ning, Yue'er."

Lin Zhen's voice was slightly hoarse. Su Mingyue and An Ning were stunned for a moment, and then stopped.

"Lin Zhen, you won?" An Ning asked.

"I won. I resonated with the elemental power of the Radiance Particles and finally defeated Kholov."

An Ning and Su Mingyue were overjoyed. In that instant, they both made the same move: to rush into Lin Zhen's arms. But when they saw the person next to them, they stopped themselves.

Lin Zhen stood up and hugged his two beloved girls tightly. "I want to thank you. Without your efforts, there would be no victory."

Two flushed faces pressed against Lin Zhen's chest at the same time. They looked at each other, and Su Mingyue shyly buried her face completely in Lin Zhen's chest, not daring to look at An Ning.

An Ning also felt very embarrassed, but she was slightly Su Mingyue. She reached out and pinched the soft flesh on Lin Zhen's waist, and then buried her face in Lin Zhen's arms.

"He fought so hard and defeated such a powerful opponent, so let him get away with it this time, but we absolutely won't allow it to happen again next time." Both girls thought so.

The three of them embraced, the atmosphere in the room warm and peaceful. Lin Zhen closed her eyes slightly, enjoying this rare moment.

Although he was initially somewhat unable to resist, he later realized that this opportunity was extremely rare and that he had to get the two girls to accept each other. So he decided to be shameless and persistent, in order to lay the foundation for their future.

After a few minutes, Su Mingyue finally couldn't stand the suffocating atmosphere anymore and lifted her head from Lin Zhen's arms. "Can you please stop hugging me?"

An Ning pushed Lin Zhen away and sat down to the side.

Lin Zhen smiled and sat down, stretched her body, felt the activity of the Radiance Particles in her body, and felt the joy of her body gradually recovering.

"Lin Zhen, are you confident about the upcoming battle?" An Ning asked.

"There will absolutely be no problem." This time, Lin Zhen's answer was resolute. Doc's special move was Resistance Field, which was similar in nature to Kholov's Gravity Field, but neither of them could cause any trouble for Lin Zhen now. Moreover, Lin Zhen could also use his Mental Power against Doc.

"We can't be too careless; we need to be even more careful as we get closer to the end."

An Ning continued to persuade him, and Lin Zhen nodded slightly in agreement. He would definitely not let the Champion slip away.

But just then, cheers suddenly came from downstairs.

Soon, Lin Liye and Li Qin rushed up and opened the door. Li Qin said first, "Son, that America, Doc, has conceded defeat. Huaxia is the Champion! You won the Champion for the country!"

"Really?" Lin Zhen's eyes lit up. Although he knew that Doc was no match for him, he did not expect that his opponent would admit defeat.

"Of course it's true, you should watch the live stream right away."

Lin Zhen hurriedly turned on her computer, which was broadcasting Doc's speech live.

The America War God said with a troubled look, "First of all, I want to apologize to the people of America. I hope you can understand that Doc is not a person who is afraid of fighting, but I do not want to fight a hopeless battle. My Resistance Field is not even as powerful as Kholov's Gravity Field. I have no chance of winning this battle. I don't want to see Lin Zhen flatten me and kick me off the stage, do I?"

"I believe everyone in the world should admit this: when Lin Zhen shattered Kholov's Gravity Field with a single shot, he was no longer an ordinary War God. In my opinion, Lin Zhen's strength is in a class of its own among War God. No other War God can compare to him, not even those at the Quasi-Star Realm. He is the Number One Below Star Realm."

After saying that Lin Zhen the Number One Below Star Realm, Doc voluntarily withdrew from the competition and voluntarily accepted the runner-up position, which he was quite satisfied with.

Lin Zhen was somewhat indifferent. His rebirth changed many things, but some things were still progressing according to the established track. For example, Doc was the runner-up in his previous life and is still the runner-up now. Nothing has changed.

The America people understood and supported Doc's decision, which is nothing to be ashamed of; pointless fighting is not encouraged.

Following Lin Zhen's Champion, another piece of news arrived: Kholov had given up competing for third or fourth place and left home; no one knew where he had gone.

Thus, the European Union's Al automatically secured third place, Tsarist Russia ranked fourth.

Lin Zhen was secretly on guard. Kholov was no longer Kholov; he was a puppet controlled by an Extraterrestrial Civilization. Now that he had left home, he might be going to his master's place.

As for the matter of Kholov seeking revenge, Lin Zhen did not think it would happen. After losing in the ring, even if Kholov wanted revenge, he would only come if he was absolutely certain of success. Otherwise, losing in real life is not like losing in the ring, where there is no chance to start over.

Lin Zhen didn't think his current strength was comparable to that of the Stellar Realm expert. There were too many unexpected factors involved in Old John's case, not to mention that Kholov was a special case.

When he broke through to the Stellar Realm, he lost his sight and his leg was broken, which greatly reduced his combat power. Moreover, Kholov's speed disadvantage was also obvious. Without the Gravity Field, he could not keep up with Lin Zhen at all.

Other Stellar Realm are different. They have a variety of Mental Power, speed, power, and unique combat techniques, each more difficult to deal with than the last. Lin Zhen, who has been reborn, knows this well.

However, if we're talking about the Number One Below Star Realm, Lin Zhen believes that's well-deserved. At least on Earth, Lin Zhen doesn't think any God of War Level, or even Quasi-Star Realm, can pose any threat to him.

The God of War Arena has ended, and the rankings for all countries have been released.

First place: Huaxia; second place: the America; third place: the European Union; fourth place: Tsarist Russia; fifth place: the African Union; sixth place: India; seventh place: Brazil.

This time, the matter has finally been settled, and the whole of Huaxia is celebrating. Even in the Capital City Base City, high-ranking officials of the country said they would come to congratulate Lin Zhen and present him with an award. In front of the people of the whole country, they promised that Lin Zhen could make one request, as long as it does not violate national righteousness or endanger national security, the country would grant it.

Lin Zhen had already thought about this request; he would make it when the people offering their condolences arrived, as it was part of his plan after his rebirth.

Everyone in Lin Zhen's family was smiling happily. Li Qin even said, "I'm so happy today, I want to treat my son. You cook, old man, and I'll make dumplings for him."

Lin Liye happily agreed and went to prepare. Li Qin looked at An Ning and Su Mingyue, and the more she looked, the more she felt that the two girls were too beautiful and too likable. Although she did not know which one would become her daughter-in-law in the future, it did not affect her current affection for them.

"Xiao Ning, Yue'er, you two shouldn't leave either. Why don't you eat at Auntie's house today?"

Su Mingyue had traveled a long way to get here and naturally didn't want to leave immediately. An Ning, although her home was in Ice City, was also reluctant to leave the atmosphere here and immediately nodded in agreement. "Then I'll help Auntie make dumplings."

"Alright, let's cook together. Your aunt wasn't a martial artist before, so she's used to doing these things. But you are a martial artist, and Young Miss from a wealthy family. It's really impressive that you know how to do this."

An Ning was a little embarrassed, because her dumpling-making skills were actually quite average.

Su Mingyue raised her head slightly, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "I can help too. When I have time, I'll secretly practice cooking."

"Oh, good! Lin Zhen is so lucky to have met the two of you. Let's go, the three of us, cook together."

Li Qin was in a panic. She was thinking about whether she should go out and buy some seasonings first. If she took these two girls out, the neighbors would be green with envy.

Although there aren't many neighbors around, could we walk a little further? Buying things isn't the goal; the main thing is to get out of the area.

Seeing her mother take her two girlfriends out, Lin Zhen was in a very good mood.

However, he knew even more that this happiness was hard-won, and now that it had come, he had to protect it.

Since the government officials couldn't come today, Lin Zhen logged onto the internet at his computer.

He hadn't forgotten that when he participated in this God of War Arena and ultimately won the Champion, there were many generous prizes to be won.

I wonder if there's a lottery or something similar. Yue'er always has incredibly good luck with lotteries, so I decided to leave her here.

After logging into my account on the computer, a whole bunch of messages immediately came through.

Countless people added Lin Zhen as a friend, but Lin Zhen did not respond; his focus was entirely on the prizes.

Upon filtering the prize information, the first message Lin Zhen saw was. "Your purchase of 50 billion yuan in the ' Lin Zhen Wins the Championship' lottery has won you a prize of one trillion Hua Xia Currency. Please accept!"
