Chapter 951: Chapter 954: Lin Zhen Versus Clown King_1 Chapter 951: Chapter 954: Lin Zhen Versus Clown King_1 In Bai Yunyan’s first battle, he truly showed the charm of a Ground Clan martial artist.

Although there was a clear gap between him and the Xuntian, Bai Yunyan was not frightened, facing the challenge bravely, nearly outperforming his abilities.

Watching Bai Yunyan struggle valiantly in the fight, Lin Zhen nodded slightly.

Even though he knew he was outmatched, battling regardless of the outcome was a form of growth.

Bai Yunyan still had ample room for improvement in the future.

The fight between the two was quite fierce.

The Xuntian, true to their Sky Dog form, darted around in the void, waiting for opportunities.

…

Despite Bai Yunyan’s fervor, he couldn’t pose any real threat.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~!

Bai Yunyan’s continual sword skills fell short, his chest heaving heavily, his Star Power somewhat insufficient.

Seeing Bai Yunyan’s attacks losing power, the Xuntian smirked, “Out of energy, huh?

It’s impossible to maintain such an intense attack for long.

Since you’re out of steam, let me show you how it’s done!”

“Taste the Star-shattering Strike that can devour the sun and the moon!”

The Xuntian opened his huge mouth in mid-air, obstructing the sky, and bit down at Bai Yunyan!

The enormous Star Power was almost crushing Bai Yunyan, not to mention the strength gap in the first place.

Under such circumstances, he was just barely holding on.

The final desperate attack didn’t yield much result.

Bai Yunyan was firmly bitten by this enormous mouth!

The Xuntian, transformed into a Sky Dog, chewed vigorously.

After a few crunches, Bai Yunyan was killed on the spot!

His body turned into a streak of light and returned to his seat in the Hall of Fame.

Having lost to the Xuntian, Bai Yunyan’s ranking in the Hall of Fame was fixed at the twentieth position, which was also considered a decent ranking.

Lin Zhen patted Bai Yunyan’s shoulder, somewhat concerned about his condition.

Bai Yunyan turned around and showed Lin Zhen a smile, “I’m fine, don’t worry about me.

Being eaten alive by that fellow was a sort of experience for me.

I feel a lot lighter now.

Apart from death, I don’t think I have anything to fear anymore.

Of course…

someday…

I want to take back this loss.”

“That’s the spirit.

With that determination, nothing’s impossible.”

Lin Zhen was very pleased.

Bai Yunyan was the first Hall of Famer he knew, and they had a good relationship.

Seeing him grow, Lin Zhen was happy for him.

*********

With the Xuntian’s victory, the Endless Species celebrated again.

By this point, the Challengers no longer held any advantage.

Didn’t you see Lin Zhen being the only dark horse from the beginning?

However, the Endless Species were still looking forward to the next match, because the next person to enter the ring was Tian Zhuo.

Tian Zhuo was very famous among the Endless Species.

He had proven his top ten strength through many actual battles.

So when Tian Zhuo stepped onto the stage, the cheers were even louder than when the Xuntian appeared.

The tenth-ranked Ground Clan Hall of Famer was called the Mountain-Splitting King.

It was said that he gained his name because he once split a mountain with a single slash.

After growing up along the way, this name had accompanied him all along.

The Mountain-Splitting King used a large guan blade.

When he appeared on stage, he didn’t seem to take Tian Zhuo seriously.

The fight between the two quickly began.

After their hands met, the Mountain-Splitting King’s guan blade moved powerfully, swaying wind and thunder.

The blade aura swarmed around the stage, showing great power.

Tian Zhuo, on the other hand, held his spear defensively, poised and steady, guarding a small area.

Like a small boat struggling in a storm, it seemed he could be overturned by a wave from his opponent.

Seeing this, the Ground Clan erupted in thunderous cheers.

People shouted with all their might for the Mountain-Splitting King, hoping he could win the first final seat for the Ground Clan.

Among the cheering, the Mountain-Splitting King’s attack became even more fierce, as if wanting to take the game in one go.

However, Lin Zhen frowned slightly.

Although the Mountain-Splitting King’s offensive was strong, Tian Zhuo’s defense was even more solid.

Although he was only defending a small area, this could save more physical strength.

Also, Lin Zhen knew that Tian Zhuo was not giving it his all.

Tian Zhuo’s true form was a bird similar to a woodpecker wandering in the stars.

Now he hadn’t shown his aerial advantage yet.

Moreover, the woodpecker’s long beak could be transformed into two long spears.

Now he was only using one, clearly, he was holding back.

Sure enough, after the Mountain-Splitting King finished his offensive set without troubling Tian Zhuo, he had to stop to rest a while.

That’s when Tian Zhuo finally launched his counterattack.

The spear flew like lightning, catching the Mountain-Splitting King off guard.

Watching his spear attack, even Lin Zhen was shocked.

His spear skills were impeccable, leaving no room for error.

The Mountain-Splitting King tried his best to defend but was still hit with thousands of spears within an instant, receiving a serious injury.

The Mountain-Splitting King roared in anger.

He was unwilling to lose and wanted to counterattack with his hidden trump card when Tian Zhuo beat him to it.

The second spear was out, the double-handed spear was like cutting melons and vegetables, turning the Mountain-Splitting King into a sieve within a second!

When Tian Zhuo put away his spear, the Mountain-Splitting King’s body unwillingly rolled on the ground and died.

Tian Zhuo raised his hand, and the long spear slipped into his sleeve.

He glanced at the Mountain-Splitting King with disdain, “Top ten of the Hall of Fame…

is nothing more than this.

A real laugh!”

Turning around to wave at his race, inducing a great cheer, Tian Zhuo retired from the field.

The second competitor to qualify from the Endless Species had emerged.

Both Tian Zhuo and the Xuntian Person had made it to the finals.

Such an outcome was utterly unacceptable to the Ground Clan.

There are twenty spots in the final.

If the Ground Clan can’t even secure ten, it would undoubtedly be a disgrace.

But they couldn’t control this situation, and they could only hope that the next competitor would put up a better fight.

*********

The third fight began, with a member of the Ground Clan challenging first.

Regrettably, this match also disappointed them.

The challenger faced off against the ninth-ranked elemental controller, a mage who possessed great magical power.

Proficient in all kinds of magic, he easily dismissed the challenger from the ring with a sequence of Ice-Fire Combo Strikes and Space Storms.

Three to zero!

In the fourth match, Dis, ranked ninth among the Ground Clan, surprisingly lost again to a challenger from the Endless Species.

Both sides battled fiercely to the last moment, almost eliminating each other.

However, the martial artist from the Endless Species proved more resilient, clinging to a breath of life and eliminating Dis.

Four to zero~!

History echoed eerily as the Endless Species immediately led the Ground Clan four to zero at the start, just as they did in the first round.

It felt like déjà vu in the tenth round, with another four to zero lead.

By this point, the point difference between the two sides left little suspense.

The Ground Clan could almost certainly be considered as the losing side in this Hall of Fame challenge.

However, although they could lose, they could not afford to lose by too much.

The Ground Clan could no longer afford defeat.

Next to compete was Lin Zhen, who led the Ground Clan’s score.

Now, everyone pinned their hopes on him, hoping he could repeat his previous miracle and bring the Ground Clan back from the brink.

Although the challengers were disadvantaged at this stage, people still held high hopes for Lin Zhen.

********

When Lin Zhen entered the field, the cheers and boos erupted almost simultaneously.

The Ground Clan saw him as a hero, while the Endless Species viewed him as a nuisance.

They deeply despised Lin Zhen and harbored no hope of him advancing into the top ten.

“Clown!

Clown!”

In the midst of the shouting, the Clown entered the stage.

With a strange hat on his head, brightly colored clothes on his body, and multiple Fireballs in his hand, he juggled ceaselessly.

He appeared to be performing acrobats.

He ran several laps around the ring, performing continuous somersaults and leaps, actions that would be challenging for the average person, but that made him look ridiculously hilarious among martial artists.

Standing afar, Tiannie frowned slightly at the Clown’s actions.

At his side, Yama, ranked third, grumbled, “This guy is always pulling these pointless stunts for attention.

It’s such a disgrace to the Hall of Fame strong.”

Tiannie shook his head slightly, “Not necessarily.

The Clown may appear to be a bit scatterbrained, but his strength is undeniable.

If luck’s on his side, he could have the potential to break into the top five.”

“I know that, but Lin Zhen is no pushover.

I hope he doesn’t mess up.”

*********

After a brief performance, the Clown suddenly turned around, his fistful of Fireballs with a crackling noise fell to the ground, his gaze fixed squarely on Lin Zhen.

His gaze was like that of a venomous snake, carefully assessing Lin Zhen.

“Lin Zhen, I could turn you into a puppet, granting you eternal life.

Would you like that?”

Lin Zhen found the Clown’s gaze extraordinarily uncomfortable.

Only by concentrating his Spiritual Power into his eyes could he counter its negative impact.

“If my guess is correct, your face hidden behind that ridiculous mask must be unspeakably ugly.

That’s why you need to resort to these means to distract people.

You use ludicrous performances to attract attention, but your heart must be riddled with inferiority and fragility, right?”

Lin Zhen took a step forward: “Being ugly is not your fault, but what’s funny is that in spite of being ugly, you’re afraid to face reality.

Acting like a madman only makes people laugh.

You’re really a repugnant bug that makes people feel nauseous!”

As Lin Zhen’s malicious words poured out one after the other, the Clown’s face turned increasingly ugly, and his already hideous face twisted further with madness!

“Shut up!

Go to hell!”

With a scream that penetrated the eardrums of everyone present, the Clown sprang towards Lin Zhen!

Seeing that the Clown had finally lost his restraint and attacked, Lin Zhen raised his hand, drawing his long sword, readying himself for battle.
