Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 674 A thorn in the side of all the contestants! (Seeking monthly votes)
Edith sensed a deadly danger and swung her blue sword.

A surge of blue energy, like layers of mercury, rapidly swirled around her body.

This is her strongest defensive move, the flow of the water law, which cannot withstand all its power.

It can also continuously weaken the power of moves!

Even if it was a killing move enhanced by the laws of nature, she was confident that she could withstand it.

"The opportunity has come!"

Edith thought to herself that when Lynch unleashes his killing move, it will be his strongest and most vulnerable moment.

If she could delay even a second, she was confident she could control the five blue swordfish and unleash a deadly attack.

Lin Qi had anticipated all of this.

Golden threads in the air combined to form complex patterns, accompanied by Lin Qi's high-speed spinning spear, causing spiraling energy to twist and turn.

Blessed by the Law of Metal, it penetrates and pierces through the air; it is endlessly sharp, a blade that can pierce through everything.

"Pfft~"

The golden light pierced through the flowing water like a high-pressure water gun penetrating a steel plate, then passed through Edith's armor without any obstruction.

The sharp force tore through tough skin, muscles, and internal organs, piercing the heart and crushing it into pieces, causing blood to gush out.

Edith's eyes widened as she felt a sharp pain surge through her heart, causing her to lose control of her body.

Even with the strongest regenerative abilities, it's impossible to immediately restore her heart.

She lost!
The five blue swordfish in the air, having lost their strong control, automatically disintegrated into 50 flying blades in mid-air.

“Ding ding!!”

Finally, it fell to the ground.

Lin Qi looked at Edith in front of him and said calmly:

"I told you, I would give everything back to you."

"Congratulations, you've been eliminated!"

"Your Ten Directions Blood Arena has come to an end!"

After she finished speaking, Edith's body also vanished into nothingness and disappeared into the air.

[Match 50: Lynch (Triangulum Galaxy) wins!]

……

"Let's congratulate Lynch from the Triangulum Galaxy for defeating Edith, avenging his loss, and advancing to the 8th round, becoming the 50th player to advance!"

"Bah bang bang!!"

"Lin Qi!!"

As the host, Sang Qing, announced the news, thunderous applause and a tsunami of cheers erupted from the audience.

"Won!"

“Edith was actually defeated. She is a top genius in the Wan Hai Society.”

"Her control over telekinetic weapons was extremely sophisticated. With the blessing of the Water Law, no opponent could rival her, yet she still lost."

"Lin Qi is still stronger. His grasp of timing and his application of techniques are still superior to Edith's."

Dean Liu and the other people from Blue Star applauded enthusiastically.

"Well done, Lynch!"

Dean Liu was already thinking that with Lin Qi's strength, he might be able to enter the top 10.

Lynch is now unstoppable.

Since he comprehended the law, the road ahead has been smooth and unobstructed.

At the same level, he believed that Lin Qi would not lose to any genius.

……

High-level seats

The Wan Hai Hui area is where all the high-ranking officials of the Canglan Galaxy reside.

The second round was nearing its end, and many high-ranking officials began to go online to watch the game.

Among them were high-ranking members of the Wan Hai Society, each with a powerful aura, like an abyss that seemed capable of devouring endless planets.

One of the deep voices rang out:

"Edith actually lost to a genius from a small civilization."

"She was too careless and lost so humiliatingly!"

"Don't underestimate Lin Qi. His talent is astonishing, and his combat awareness is extremely strong. It's not unjust for him to lose to Edith."

Another deep voice rang out.

"Another genius from our Wan Hai Society has been eliminated, putting us behind Lieyang Star, Lei Zetian, and Yuhua Mountain!"

"This guy named Lin Qi is interesting; we should keep an eye on him."

……

Yao Chen, who had been paying attention to Lin Qi from beginning to end, also smiled:

"Not bad, very strong, as expected, you did not disappoint me."

"Next, we need to push for a top 10 finish!"

"None of the opponents we face next will be easy to deal with, but for a genius who has made it to the sixth level of Lieyang Mountain, none of that will be a problem."

……

In the contestants' area, at the contestants' seats of Wan Hai Hui.

Edith was teleported back. She looked terrible, staring at her hands with empty eyes.

The battle was still replaying in his mind.

He underestimated Lynch's strength; Lynch was much stronger than he had been two years ago.

These are transformations that cannot be achieved simply by comprehending the power of laws.

She clearly hasn't realized this yet.

Lin Qi quickly adapted to the confrontation with the power of the laws, and his weakness was found, allowing him to be killed with a final shot!

She was completely defeated in this match!
Lynch has completely surpassed him!

"Edith lost, it's really hard to accept!"

"With Edith eliminated, our Wan Hai Society is left with only 5 geniuses!"

"Otherwise, we would have six geniuses advancing, comparable to Lei Zetian!"

"Lin Qi from the Triangular Constellation Civilization is quite strong, but if he encounters another genius from our Wan Hai Society in the next round, I will leave a deep impression on him."

"However, I might be the first to get a bye!"

A handsome man in a blue robe slowly spoke. He was the strongest genius of the Wan Hai Society and was considered an unlikely genius to fall out of the top ten.

Among the crowd, Rouyu, with her delicate features, looked at Lin Qi on the arena.

Shocked, how could it have been so long before this genius who had once defeated him...

They are now able to defeat Edith.

His name was even remembered by the strongest genius of the Wan Hai Society.

……

The athletes' plaza in the Triangulum Galaxy.

Lin Qi heard the congratulations from the crowd.

"Brother Lynch, congratulations on successfully defeating Edith and completing your revenge!"

Jiang Miaoyin was the first to offer her congratulations.

This surprised Jiang Tao, as he was always the one to speak first in the past.

Unexpectedly, this time, his younger sister beat him to it.

"Thank you all for the compliments!"

Lin Qi nodded and sat down, looking at the big screen. He had now entered the top 79.

He just needs to wait patiently for his next opponent.

He began to mentally review the battle. Although it wasn't his first time fighting Edith, he hadn't fully adapted yet.

He adapted quickly through his fight with Edith, who was giving it her all.

This also improved his ability to control the power of laws.

In the next round, he will be able to mobilize the power of the laws more flexibly.

To put it bluntly, his combat strength will be further improved.

He hasn't forgotten his goal: to make it into the top 10.

Everyone starts on the same footing, and he has no reason to lose to any of his opponents.

……

The seventh round of the match continued, and the competition between geniuses who had comprehended the power of the laws was even more exciting than the previous rounds.

The power of the laws grants them greater destructive power and combat strength.

They delivered a series of exciting matches.

The day passed quickly, with only 70 matches completed. The remaining 8 matches were to be played on the second day, seamlessly connecting with the 9th game.

The final match also ended quickly!

"Let's congratulate Russell from the Triangulum Galaxy on his victory over Camus and advancement to the 8th game!"

With the announcement from the host Sang Qing, the God of War was teleported back.

He let out a breath.

"it's over!"

"Congratulations on your advancement, Senior War God!"

“Our Blue Star civilization is now down to just you and Lin Qi!” Jiang Tao said.

The God of War exhaled a breath of stale air and sighed:

"The opponents are all strong, and I'm starting to feel the strain!"

"I'm not sure if I can advance in the next round!"

Lin Qi smiled and said, "Just do your best!"

Jiang Tao looked at the big screen and said, "Next is the 8th game, and at the same time, the last bye spot will be awarded."

"Samuel, Yu Miaozhen, and Yao Yu are from three top forces: Lei Zetian, Yu Huashan, and Lieyang Star, respectively."

"The next team to receive a bye is most likely Wan Haihui, the strongest genius from Fengshen Valley, Taixing Tower, and the Frozen Kingdom."

"I think it's highly likely to be the strongest genius of the Wan Hai Society—Byers!"

The crowd whispered among themselves, then watched as the host, Sang Qing, projected the announcement and said loudly:
"Congratulations to the 79 players who have successfully advanced to the 8th game!"

"At the same time, we will seamlessly begin the second round, game 8, to determine the 40 strongest players!"

"At the same time, one of the 79 contestants will receive a bye, and he will be the last contestant to receive a bye!"

"Who is this lucky person? Let's wait and see."

"Byers!!"

"Alec!!"

"Wu Qing!"

In the audience, countless spectators shouted different names.

"Those who get a bye are all system-certified experts; it's a form of recognition!"

Someone spoke. Meanwhile, in the contestants' spaces—Liyangxing, Wanhaihui, Fengshengu, Taixingta, Hanbingguodu…

In the plazas of these top-tier players, the most skilled individuals all gazed expectantly at the large screen.

And in the contestant seats of the Triangulum Galaxy.

Feng Hao also revealed an expectant look.

Because in their Triangulum constellation, there has never been a case of a genius being overlooked, never.

He hopes that this record will be broken by himself.

Meanwhile, the people of Blue Star, not far away, were also watching the big screen.

"boom!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, a huge blue star suddenly exploded, and a burst of blue particles gathered and transformed into a human figure.

He was dressed in black and gold armor, tall and imposing, with a cold and stern face and deep-set eyes. He held a gun in one hand, radiating a strong aura that seemed to pierce through everything.

[8th Round Bye: Lynch (Triangulum Galaxy)]

……

When the host saw who had a bye, he was also taken aback and looked surprised.

But they still loudly announced the results:

"Let's congratulate Lynch from the Triangulum Galaxy! He's the lucky one to receive a bye and advance to the 9th game, becoming the last player to receive a bye!"

This result immediately caused the audience to erupt in cheers.

"Why is it that Lynch from the Blue Star civilization got a bye?"

"Could it be a system error?"

"That's impossible. He's neither the strongest genius from Wan Hai Hui, Tai Xing Ta, Feng Shen Gu, nor Han Bing Guo Du."

"On the contrary, it's an unknown and uncivilized player. Is this a joke?"

Countless viewers couldn't believe the results they were seeing.

The audience on Blue Star was also stunned. It turned out that Lin Qi got a bye, which was something none of them had imagined.

However, this very fact actually happened right before their eyes.

Dean Liu's expression became agitated.

Even the intelligent system acknowledged Lin Qi's strength, which means that Lin Qi has the ability to enter the top 10.

They really do have someone on Earth who can make it into the top 10!
……

Many of the high-ranking officials in the viewing area also showed expressions of confusion.

"How come Lynch from the Triangulum Galaxy got a bye?"

"Has the system's program been changed?"

"Maybe there's been a mistake; this kind of thing has happened before..."

"We'll know in the next two games whether he deserves a bye!"

In the viewing area of ​​the Triangle Triangle, even the high-rise buildings remained silent.

"Even Lian Fenghao didn't get a bye, so why is it Lin Qi from the Blue Star Civilization?"

"But it doesn't matter, Feng Hao will prove his strength!"

……

In the contestant space, a noisy discussion also arose in the 5432 contestant squares.

"How come it's Lynch from the Triangulum Galaxy?"

"How could it be him?"

"Why not Wu Qing from our Fengshen Galaxy?"

Even Yao Yu of Lieyang Star, Yu Miaozhen of Yuhua Mountain, and Samuel of Lei Zetian showed puzzled expressions.

Meanwhile, the geniuses from Wan Hai Hui, Feng Shen Gu, Tai Xing Ta, and Han Bing Guo Du were filled with righteous indignation.

Especially their strongest geniuses, whose faces turned ashen.

"Has the intelligent system malfunctioned?"

"Lynch from the Triangulum Galaxy, I'll remember him!"

"I hope I get matched with him in the next game. I want to see just how good he really is!"

……

"Brother Qi, it turns out you got a bye!"

The people on Blue Star were also surprised and all looked at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi himself was stunned.

He was quite surprised that he would be the one to get a bye.

However, he quickly regained his composure, confident in his abilities.

I am confident that I can compete for a top 10 spot.

"I think the system's judgment is quite accurate."

Jiang Miaoyin nodded and said:
"I also think so."

"Lin Qi has always had the strength to compete for the top 10; he is no weaker than the strongest genius of any top power!"

Jiang Tao nodded and said, "Ah Miao is right!"

The God of War laughed and said, "Lin Qi, I reckon the geniuses from other star systems will all know about you now, and they will all see you as a thorn in their side."

Lin Qi calmly replied, "It doesn't matter!"

"We'll make it into the top 10 sooner or later anyway!"

He looked towards the Triangle Clan's territory, where the Triangle Clan's geniuses' expressions towards him had changed.

……

"How could it be that Lynch who got a bye?"

Moron could hardly believe his eyes.

Lorraine was surprised for a moment when she saw the result, but then she regained her composure.

"This is the result obtained by the system."

"We may have underestimated Lynch. If you don't believe me, then pray that you'll be matched with him in the next game."

"I believe many geniuses share the same idea."

Moron said, "I will advance to the third round."

Lorraine shook his head and said, "Look at who your opponent is."

Moron looked at the big screen, and when he saw his opponent, his expression changed drastically:

"How could it be... Yao Feng?"

……

After Lynch's bye caused a huge uproar, the 8th inning officially began.

It was also an extremely exciting round.

Of the 78 experts, only 39 can advance, and no one will allow themselves to be defeated.

Even if the opponent is a genius who has comprehended the laws, some geniuses still demonstrate strength that is in a class of its own.

For example, Yao Yu once again demonstrated his top-notch skills, easily defeating his opponent.

He seemed to have broken through to the second realm of the universe, crushing his opponents with his powerful physical abilities.

Besides him, there's Yu Miaozhen from Yuhua Mountain, and Samuel from Lei Zetian...

They all easily defeated their opponents.

39 matches, it's going by very quickly!
By the afternoon, the 39th match had ended.

"Let's congratulate Yaofeng from the Lieyang Galaxy, who successfully defeated Moron and became the 39th genius to advance to the 9th game."

"Yaofeng!!"

Amid the host's announcement and a tsunami of shouts from the audience, Moron was transported back to the audience in a disheveled state.

Looking at Moron's expression, Lorraine teased:
"It seems you have no chance of defeating Lynch!"

Moron retorted, unconvinced:

"It's just my bad luck that I got matched with Yao Feng, who is the third-ranked genius on Lieyang Star."

In each of the second rounds of the top ten, Lieyang Star will have 2 to 3 geniuses enter.

"Yao Feng is also a genius with the strength to enter the top ten!"

"I'm sure if Lin Qi were matched against Yao Feng, he would have lost for sure!"

Moron said through gritted teeth.

Lorraine nodded and said, "Perhaps it really is as you say, that Yaofeng will meet Lin Qi!"

……

"Dear viewers, we will now continue with the 9th game."

"Of the 40 players, only 20 will be able to advance to the 10th game."

"Only two matches remain to reach the final 10!"

"Now I declare the 9th inning officially open!"

Above the ring, host Sang Qing loudly announced the start of the 9th round.

Before her were 40 names, which they freely matched to form a brand new battle table.

The audience was in high spirits; their physical fitness was exceptional, allowing them to stay up all night without sleep.

They just want to keep watching the rest of the game.

All eyes were now on the new match schedule.

Lynch felt the same way; he knew that 90% of the 39 competitors wanted to defeat him.

[Match 1: Lynch (Triangulum Galaxy) VS Yaofeng (Sun Galaxy)]

……

Upon seeing his opponent, Lin Qi exhaled a breath of relief.

It seems I've been matched with a skilled player, someone capable of competing for a top 10 spot.

"Brother Qi, you're in trouble. This time, your opponent is Yao Feng."

"He's not someone to be trifled with."

Jiang Tao spoke first.

Jiang Miaoyin shook her head and said, "No matter how strong he is, he can't stop Brother Lin Qi from advancing."

Sun Sheng laughed and said, "He's just the third-ranked genius on Lieyang Star."

"If it's Yao Yu, he might be a problem."

Li Tianxing nodded in agreement, saying, "That's indeed the case."

……,
"Next, let's welcome our two contestants from the first round. They are Lynch from the Triangulum Galaxy."

"He successfully got a bye in the last game, which made countless players envious."

"His opponent in this round will be Yao Feng, a top genius from Lieyang Star."

Only the stronger of the two can advance and have a chance to compete for a spot in the top 10.

The host, Sang Qing, announced this loudly.
