Chapter 104 Three Strange Phenomena of Heaven and Earth Astound Everyone

Each match.

Zhou Qing also placed bets.

He naturally bet on himself to win.

After winning nine consecutive matches, he amassed a million spirit stones.

The odds for these ten matches are 3 to 1.

Zhou Qing was at the first level of the Celestial Realm, while Lin Jianxing was a Grandmaster of the fifth level of the Celestial Realm and also possessed knowledge of celestial phenomena. Therefore, more people were willing to bet on Lin Jianxing.

However, Zhou Qing's odds are high, so many people are betting on him.

Zhou Qing naturally bet all his spirit stones on winning. If he wins this battle, he will receive as many as three million spirit stones. Even after deducting the arena's 1% cut, he will still receive two million nine hundred and seventy thousand.

"At the first level of the Celestial Realm, you must be a master of feigning weakness to get this far. But you've met me, and your winning streak is coming to an end."

On the arena, Lin Jianxing stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's, staring directly at Zhou Qing, his words filled with an undeniable domineering aura.

"If you admit defeat now, you can still save your life. Otherwise, once I make my move, you will surely die on the spot, and it will be too late for regrets!"

Lin Jianxing said.

"You're being far too confident."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qing's lips curled into a cold smile.

He was naturally not intimidated by Lin Jianxing's imposing aura.

Back in the Mountain and Sea Realm, even though there was a spatial rift between them, he had still faced the majesty of the demon saints. Compared to them, Lin Jianxing's aura was far inferior.

"Since you insist on courting death, then I will grant your wish."

Lin Jianxing snorted coldly.

Immediately, he unleashed his own extraordinary celestial phenomena.

hum~~~
The brightly lit arena suddenly went dark.

Then, stars appeared one after another in the void.

"This is... a celestial phenomenon: stars shining brightly!"

The spectators were all stunned.

Extraordinary phenomena in the heavens and earth are not something that one will necessarily experience once they enter the realm of celestial beings.

Only those exceptionally talented geniuses who step into the Celestial Realm will be accompanied by extraordinary celestial phenomena; these are innate supernatural powers bestowed by Heaven and Earth.

The celestial phenomenon released by Lin Jianxing is called "Shining Stars," which is a phenomenon related to stars.

This indicates that the cultivation technique Lin Jianxing practiced was related to the stars.

Every star that appears in the void contains terrifying power, as if it can suppress all the heavens and myriad realms.

"Who hasn't experienced unusual celestial phenomena?"

Zhou Qing remained calm.

Faced with the relentless onslaught of stars, Zhou Qing responded with the phenomenon of golden lotuses emerging from the earth. Each golden lotus held up a star, preventing it from falling.

"This is the phenomenon of golden lotuses emerging from the earth."

"Zhou Qing has indeed mastered the extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth."

"To defeat a Grandmaster of the Primordial Spirit with only the first level of the Celestial Realm cultivation must be extraordinary."

"It's still hard to say who will win this battle."

"..."

Zhou Qing displayed a celestial phenomenon, and the audience members all showed expressions of "I knew it!" They had already guessed that Zhou Qing must have mastered the celestial phenomenon.

Therefore, when Zhou Qing released the extraordinary phenomenon at this time, not many people were shocked, as it was within their expectations.

"Hmph, so what if you possess extraordinary celestial phenomena? Today, I will surely slay you with my sword!"

Lin Jianxing snorted coldly.

hum~~~
The void trembled, and countless sword energies appeared between heaven and earth. These sword energies manifested in various forms: some were as clear as water, some were as fiery as fire, and some were as cold as ice...

"This is a sword phenomenon, where one sword gives birth to all things!"

"Two kinds of celestial phenomena! I never expected Lin Jianxing to have mastered two kinds of celestial phenomena. With this kind of strength, he is qualified to compete for a spot in the top ten!"

"That's right. The top ten only master two kinds of celestial phenomena, while the next ninety only master one kind."

"But it doesn't matter if Zhou Qing loses. As long as the selection is not over, he can re-register. However, he will have to accumulate more wins from now on."

"..."

As soon as Lin Jianxing released two extraordinary phenomena of heaven and earth, everyone thought Zhou Qing was doomed to lose.

After all, Lin Jianxing was already quite strong, and now that he had mastered two kinds of celestial phenomena, he probably already had the strength to break into the top ten.

Although Zhou Qing also mastered the celestial phenomena, he only had one, and his cultivation was four levels lower than Lin Jianxing's, a gap that was difficult to bridge.

"He's lost. Zhou Qing is doomed to lose. Even if Zhou Qing has mastered two kinds of celestial phenomena, it's useless. The difference in cultivation level is there."

"We shouldn't have taken any chances and bet on Zhou Qing; it would have been much better to bet on Lin Jianxing directly."

"I lost. I lost everything I had won in one go."

"..."

Those viewers who bet on Zhou Qing to win were filled with regret.

Among those present, only the other prodigies of the Mountain and Sea Realm, like Zhou Qing, remained calm.

Because they knew Zhou Qing's true background.

Let alone Lin Jianxing only mastering two kinds of celestial phenomena, even if he mastered three or even four, it would be useless.

Because Zhou Qing had mastered five kinds of celestial phenomena.

Just when the spectators who had bet on Zhou Qing to win thought that Zhou Qing was bound to lose, a powerful aura suddenly erupted from Zhou Qing.

The second celestial phenomenon was the appearance of a celestial maiden scattering flowers.

It's not over yet.

Next came the third extraordinary celestial phenomenon: the Milky Way falling from the ninth heaven.

Golden lotuses sprang from the earth, celestial maidens scattered flowers, and the Milky Way fell from the heavens—three extraordinary celestial phenomena appeared simultaneously, leaving everyone present utterly astonished.

They never expected that Zhou Qing had such a powerful trump card hidden.

Those viewers who had already decided that Zhou Qing was bound to lose were now staring in disbelief at the scene.

"Hiss, three kinds of strange phenomena in the heavens and earth, incredible."

“Zhou Qing’s cultivation is only at the first level of the Celestial Realm, yet he has mastered three kinds of celestial phenomena. If he breaks through to the Primordial Spirit Realm and the heavens bestow another celestial phenomenon upon him, then he will have four kinds of celestial phenomena. Wouldn’t that mean he has the potential to become a saint?”

"I never expected that Skyfire City would have such a prodigy."

"Faced with these three unusual celestial phenomena, Lin Jianxing is doomed to lose."

"..."

Those viewers who originally supported Lin Jianxing now had complex expressions, some expressing regret, some amazed, and most having a renewed appreciation for Zhou Qing's strength.

The Milky Way seemed to fall from the heavens, just like the real Milky Way cascading down, its dazzling light appearing as if it were tearing the entire space apart.

The three extraordinary celestial phenomena intertwined to create a breathtaking scene that inspires awe.

At this moment, Zhou Qing seemed to have merged with heaven and earth; his aura and his power reached unprecedented heights.

"Three unusual celestial phenomena!"

Lin Jianxing's expression also changed drastically.

He could guess that Zhou Qing must have some hidden cards up his sleeve, that he was playing dumb to catch a tiger, but he never expected that Zhou Qing's cards would be so terrifying.

This is no longer just pretending to be weak to eat the strong; it's pretending to be weak to eat the real dragon.
