Age of Evolution#

Chapter 950: Chapter 953: Tenth Round_1 Chapter 950: Chapter 953: Tenth Round_1 Prince Ye self-destructed, turning into a streak of light and disappearing, automatically advancing Lin Zhen!

This result stunned everyone present, including Lin Zhen himself, who found it incredible.

A Martial Artist who had a chance to break into the top ten actually self-destructed and withdrew from the stage – what was his aim?

Although this guy’s behavior seemed irrational, it did cause some trouble for Lin Zhen.

After all, it would take some time for his divided self to recover, which would affect his future fights.

Descending from the arena, Lin Zhen closed his eyes and pondered deeply.

Without a doubt, someone was preparing to ambush him.

…

It wasn’t hard to guess who it might be – a big shot from the Endless Species.

However, Lin Zhen hadn’t been relying on his divided self to fight in the late stage.

After this victory, his ranking automatically rose to the eighteenth of the Ground Clan, a very high ranking indeed.

In this round of challenges, Tian Zhuo defeated his opponent and defended his position.

He will challenge the tenth-ranked strong one from the Ground Clan in the next round.

Hua Xinghe was eliminated in this round.

Among the challengers in the first round, only Lin Zhen remained from the two major species.

Logically speaking, at this point, Lin Zhen should be a very strong contender for the top ten.

But most people now didn’t think that Lin Zhen really could enter the top ten.

His eighteenth place was likely his limit.

The reason was simple: challenging the eighth place was too difficult!

********

“Old pals, it’s finally almost our turn to take the stage.”

On the Endless Species’ side, top ten masters gathered in the front rows to watch the battle.

Tiannie even opened a bottle of Red Wine and toasted the others.

Now was rest time, and no one interfered with their actions.

Even if it wasn’t rest time, basically no one would dare to interfere.

In the tenth round, it was the Ground Clan who first initiated the challenge.

The first to accept the challenge was Xuntian Person, the tenth-ranked of the Endless Species.

After the Xuntian Person accepted the challenge, it was Tian Zhuo’s turn to act, challenging the tenth-ranked of the Ground Clan.

Of the twenty battles, the twenty winners will take part in the final competition.

Xuntian Person laughed, “Tiannie boss, we generally won’t have any problems.

But I’m a bit uneasy because I don’t see Dong Xuehan boss.

If he doesn’t come, we’ll be a little insecure.”

Tiannie paused, “You don’t have to worry about this.

When it’s time for him to appear, he will naturally show up.”

“Let’s talk about each of your opponents.

Are you confident?”

These big shots in the top ten all gave arrogant smiles.

The seventh-ranked Lie Tianhu Wang patted his chest, “No problem, those who challenge us are basically ranked 11-20 in the Ground Clan.

Everyone knows their abilities well.

They are definitely not our opponents.”

Tiannie nodded and scanned the faces of several people.

Lie Tianhu Wang, Mixed World Demon King, Yama, Xuntian Person, Elemental Master, Clown…..

Tiannie’s gaze finally fell on a slender Martial Artist.

This Martial Artist was wearing a ridiculously colored robe and a funny hat.

He looked exactly like an empty coat hanger.

His exposed face was like a clown in a circus, with a big nose and mouth, and colorful features.

His laughter was somewhat creepy.

Tiannie frowned slightly, “Clown, can’t you make yourself look a little more handsome, or at least more imposing?

It’s really a blow to our Endless Species’ Hall of Fame.”

“Hee hee!”

The Clown’s laughter sounded like wood colliding with metal, making one feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Tiannie, you’ve known me for long.

I was just like this when I was not a Hall of Fame member.

People used to call me Clown King, but when I entered the Hall of Fame, I threw away the word ‘king’.

Do you know why?”

Tiannie did not respond, and the Clown seemed not to expect a response.

He continued, “This is my true color.

It makes me feel comfortable and at ease.

Anything that makes me uncomfortable should not exist, including name and body!”

Seeing that other Hall of Fame members seemed unwilling to approach him, the Clown King laughed even louder, “You guys are just a bunch of hypocrites, feeling disgraced to be around me, right?

Fine, keep away from me.

I prefer to be alone.

Tiannie, you asking this is just because you worry I can’t handle Lin Zhen, right?

Now I can tell you, Lin Zhen is a dead man!

My little babies will tear him to pieces!”

What Tiannie had been waiting for were these words from the Clown.

Hearing them, he felt much more relieved.

Although the Clown looked a bit annoying, his real power was unquestionable.

Among the top ten, the Clown’s power was one of the most unpredictable because of his unique fighting methods.

Looking towards the seats on the distant main stage, Bai Xue was still sitting there, watching him from above.

Tiannie felt a chill in his heart.

*********

The tenth round of combat was finally about to begin.

This round of combat, in some sense, may be even more significant than the final.

Because the ranking in the Hall of Fame, the top ten and non-top ten are simply not at the same level.

With this round, the top ten of both major species will be completely determined, only the precise ranking has not been set yet.

On the side of the Ground Clan, the first challenger is already standing ready.

This challenger is none other than Bai Yunyan.

Bai Yunyan had previously ranked within the top fifty of the Ground Clan, performed brilliantly this time, successfully defeated an Endless Species challenger, and also succeeded in his challenge, rising all the way from fifty to twenty.

Lin Zhen came to Bai Yunyan’s side, patted him on the shoulder: “Brother, it’s all on you now.”

Bai Yunyan smiled: “Young brother, actually I should thank you.

If it were not for your great encouragement, allowing me to clearly see my own deficiencies, and urging me to go further, I wouldn’t have been able to achieve this ranking.”

“Then go even further, enter the top ten!”

Bai Yunyan gave a wry smile, “I will certainly strive for it, but to be honest, young brother, I don’t hold much hope.”

Lin Zhen naturally understood this situation.

Hall of Fame martial artists who could be ranked in the top ten were individuals that even average deities had to respect, none of them were simple characters.

But at this moment, Lin Zhen could only boost Bai Yunyan’s spirits: “Back when I was in my hometown, I heard people say, even if your opponent is the number one swordsman in the world, we must have the courage to fight with our swords drawn.

Only in this way can we reach greater heights.”

The previously somewhat fearful Bai Yunyan, hearing Lin Zhen’s words, firmed his gaze.

“You’re right.

No matter how strong the opponent is, it’s nothing more than a fight.

Besides, this is the Dimensional Universe.

Even if we lose, so what?

Even if we’re going to lose, let’s go out in style!”

Having said this, Bai Yunyan turned to Lin Zhen: “Enough about me.

In a while, you’ll also be taking on the clown in the role of a challenger.

This fight won’t be an easy one.

Haven’t you seen how calm the Endless Species is now?

They all believe that you are no match for the clown.”

“Whether or not I’m a match, we’ll only know once we’ve fought.

Except for the battle with Moro, a lot of the fights haven’t been much of a challenge.

It’s been a bit boring.

If we can just make it into the top ten like this, it would be an insult to the words ‘Hall of Fame’.”

Lin Zhen hooked up the corners of his mouth in a smile: “The clown is strong, but I’m not all talk, I’m really looking forward to this battle!”

*********

The highly anticipated challenge round finally reached the most crucial moment.

Twenty battles, determining the top ten members of both sides, this is a crucial fight where losing is not an option.

If you lose, you can’t be in the top ten and you can’t be in the finals.

Although ranking in the teens is not bad, it’s still not the top ten.

What’s the difference between a teen rank and a rank in the twenties or thirties?

So in this battle, no one will hold back.

As the first challenger, Bai Yunyan is the first to take the stage.

Treading on wisps of white smoke, Bai Yunyan lightly flies onto the stage.

This is the first time Lin Zhen has seen Bai Yunyan use such a technique, which suggests how seriously Bai Yunyan is taking this fight.

When Bai Yunyan takes the stage, it causes cheering from the Ground Clan, cheering for their martial artist.

But after all, Bai Yunyan came from the fiftieth position.

His popularity and reputation within the Ground Clan is not particularly high, even less so than Lin Zhen, who has been making waves recently, thus the cheering is rather limited.

In comparison to Bai Yunyan, the entry of the Xuntian Person is much more flamboyant.

Treading on nothingness, with each step he takes, ripples stir in the emptiness that lingers for a long time.

Xuntian Persons, also known as Constant Star Destroyers, explore the universe, live on the edge of stars, feeding on the energy of the stars.

Given enough time, they could even devour entire stars!

There was a time in the Original World when multiple stars were devoured by Xuntian Persons.

They were given the name “heavener.”

When the great inter-species war broke out, the Xuntian Persons contributed considerably.

These creatures devoured the sun.

If they were not driven away, the Original World would have lost its sunlight sooner or later.

In the history of the Hall of Fame, there has usually been a Xuntian Person among the top ten, the talent of this species is simply too strong.

The Xuntian Person steps into the void, arriving on the arena, his gaze, sharp like a knife, sweeping towards Bai Yunyan.

“Hee hee~~!

A little one, today I will teach you a lesson, your bones will be shattered!

Your plasma will spray in my mouth, your brain will flow on the ground, and I will personally dig out your eyes to witness all this, letting you remember forever the caution: never try to compete with a Xuntian Person.

The top ten positions are absolutely beyond your reach!”

Rows of sharp teeth protruding from his mouth, grinding together a few times, looking extremely terrifying.

Bai Yunyan was instinctively afraid for his first encounter with a top ten master, even wanting to back down.
