Battle over!
From the announcement of the start of the battle to its end, it took no more than three seconds.
But in those brief three seconds, a prodigy ranked 900th on the Battle Ranking was gone.
"This... this... how is this possible!"
The elders of the Heavenly Feather Race were still waiting for the two sides to fight each other, when Lin An, Human Race, was killed by his own Yu Li.
Unexpectedly, the scene he imagined never happened; instead, Yu Li was crushed to death by Lin An.
Crush him!
This method of death is only used by the strong against the weak, and only when the difference in strength between the two sides is enormous.
Can Yu Li ranked nine hundredth on the Battle Ranking, be considered weak?
Not to mention the elders of the Heavenly Feather Race, even Meng Yuan didn't expect the battle to end so quickly.
He knew Lin An was strong, but he hadn't expected Lin An to be this strong.
He actually crushed his opponent to death.
"Haha, luckily, luckily. This kid has just emerged from seclusion and can't quite control his power yet. I hope the Heavenly Feather Race won't mind."
Then Meng Yuan laughed and cupped his hands in greeting to the elder of the Heavenly Feather Race.
The elder of the Heavenly Feather Race had a gloomy expression, but could only snort coldly and leave the spectator stands.
If you're not as skilled as others, what else is there to say?
The elder of the Heavenly Feather Race had just withdrawn from watching the battle when he saw Yu Li sitting on the ground, his face pale and his eyes vacant.
If the two sides had fought for a while and he had ultimately been defeated and killed by Lin An, Yu Li would not have been so dejected.
He could be crushed to death with a single hand; the way he died was a huge blow to him.
" Li'er, you..."
The elder of the Heavenly Feather Race wanted to comfort the other party, but for a moment he didn't know how to do so.
Even he felt that this way of dying was too humiliating.
Something's wrong, something's very wrong.
"It's impossible for Lin An to have improved so much in just one year, which means he was already this strong before."
"But that Demon Race Zi Chang actually claimed that he fought him for three hundred rounds, and only lost because he was careless in the end."
"There must be something strange about this. Zi Chang couldn't possibly be that strong."
As Yu Li spoke, a light shone in her eyes once again.
Then his gaze fell upon the elder of the Heavenly Feather Race, "Elder, please arrange a duel with Zi Chang for me, right now."
Zi Chang is currently ranked around 920, which is lower than his ranking.
"Good."
The elder of the Heavenly Feather Race did not refuse. He had been worried that this matter would cause Yu Li to completely lose his Dao heart, but now that the other party had made a new move, he naturally had to give his full support.
Among the Demon Race, Zi Chang suddenly felt a chill run down his spine, as if he were being watched by something dangerous.
Just then, a notification popped up.
"Hmm? Yu Li wants to challenge me?"
"Seriously? Are you crazy? You're ranked higher than me, and you still dare to challenge me? Even if you win, it's useless."
Zi Chang frowned, habitually checking the rankings on the Battle Ranking.
But when he saw the name of the nine hundredth person, his body trembled involuntarily.
"He's back, that pervert is back."
The moment he saw Lin An's name, he thought of his battle with Lin An.
That wasn't even a battle; it was a one-sided massacre. He was instantly killed by the opponent with a single strike.
He looked at the Battle Ranking again and found that Yu Li's name was not on them. He immediately knew what was going on.
"You got KO'd by him instantly, what do you want from me?"
Zi Chang was helpless, but he still had some guesses in his mind, and chose to accept the challenge.
Soon the two of them entered the battlefield together.
How did he kill you?
As soon as he appeared, Yu Li asked the question directly.
Zi Chang originally wanted to say that he would fight for three hundred rounds and then be defeated, but since the other party had already fought with Lin An, he certainly wouldn't believe him.
"He killed me in one strike," Zi Chang said helplessly.
Upon hearing this, Yu Li frowned deeply.
He was killed in one hit?
That way of dying wasn't pleasant either, but could it compare to being strangled to death?
And am I really not even as good as Zi Chang?
Lin An needs a knife to kill his opponent, but he just crushes himself?
"And you?" Zi Chang asked in return.
He was also curious whether Yu Li, with his strength, could withstand Lin An's attack.
Zi Chang's question only ignited Yu Li's anger.
Was he going to say that Lin An had crushed him to death?
You deserve to die!
Yu Li roared, which was just the right moment to announce the start of the battle. He unleashed all his power and charged towards Zi Chang.
Zi Chang was completely baffled. He and Yu Li didn't have much interaction, let alone any grudges.
But why did the other person act as if he were the murderer of his father?
Besides, it was Lin An who killed you. Why are you taking your anger out on me when you can't beat him?
"You really think I'm someone you can bully?"
Enraged, Zi Chang unleashed his power and engaged Yu Li in battle.
Neither side held back at all, each move was deadly, and all sorts of techniques were unleashed, making for a fierce and evenly matched battle.
Under normal circumstances, a battle between the two could easily last three to five days.
However, with neither side holding back, the battle ended in just about half an hour.
" Yu Li, you shameless bastard, if you've got the guts, go find Lin An! Why are you bullying me?"
After leaving behind a sentence, Zi Chang's body disappeared, leaving only Yu Li in the arena.
"This piece of trash is actually worth him using a knife on?"
Yu Li, however, looked displeased.
Lin An had no idea that because he had crushed Yu Li to death, Yu Li had directly come to Zi Chang.
He had returned to the main hall and, with Meng Yuan's help, began challenging the next top scholar on the Battle Ranking.
"Among the top 1,000 on the Battle Ranking, challengers may challenge a maximum of 50 prodigies."
"Of course, if the number one player is willing to fight you, you can challenge them directly, but that would require a private duel."
"This time, your opponent is Jin Rui, ranked 850th. He is a prodigy from the Metal Race of the Five Elements Spirit Race, and he consistently ranks around 800th..."
Meng Yuan then began introducing new rivals to Lin An.
After speaking, Meng Yuan hesitated, as if he had something to say.
"Elder, please speak freely if you have anything to say," Lin An said with a smile.
" Xiao An, I know you're very strong, perhaps even stronger than me. This ranking on the Battle Ranking is a piece of cake for you."
Meng Yuan said, "But what I'm saying is, could you change your attack method and just crush the other person to death? This way of dying is still a bit humiliating."
Lin An did not answer, but instead asked, "Elder, do we Human Race fear all other races and need to act discreetly?"
"Of course not. Although our Human Race isn't among the top races, we're still considered first-rate."
Meng Yuan said, "Especially because of the existence of the Heavenly Sword, even top races like the Dragon Race dare not provoke us."
"So, even if I perform brilliantly, I don't need to fear any race, right?" Lin An said.
"That's true, but we still need to give the other geniuses some face, lest they target our Human Race later," Meng Yuan said.
Lin An was silent for a few seconds, then nodded. "Don't worry, Elder, I know what to do."
Meng Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't crushed to death, other methods of dying would probably be more acceptable to the geniuses of all races, right?
Soon, Jin Rui of the Metal Race accepted the challenge, and Lin An also entered the battlefield once again.
