“Explode!”
A planet explodes in front of the eyes, and the huge light engulfs an opponent of Constant Star Level two.
Lin Zhen’s body leaves the Asura Arena.
“916 victories today, aiming for 925 victories in total, complete a thousand wins within four days, so that I’d have one day left to get a loan and become a Lord.”
Lin Zhen took a break and was about to fight the next match when suddenly a challenge for a designated battle came in.
“Master, the Golden Four-Star Asura Warrior Diana has issued a challenge to you, you can choose to accept or reject.”
Lin Zhen furrowed his brows slightly, Diana was actually challenging him.
If it was usual, Lin Zhen wouldn’t mind having a match with her, but at critical moments like this when he was about to get promoted to Asura, he didn’t want unnecessary troubles.
This woman clearly had malicious intentions. Was she planning to strike at him through the Asura Arena?
“Reject!”
Chris immediately helped Lin Zhen to reject. Just as they were about to start a random battle, another challenge was issued by the opponent.
“Master, Diana has issued a challenge to you again. Do you accept or reject?”
“Reject!”
As soon as the rejection was complete, the challenge came again before they could even start a random one.
“Master, the opponent has automatically locked onto you in the Asura Arena for a challenge, and will immediately follow up with another challenge once you reject.”
“Can’t I block her?” Lin Zhen frowned.
“My authority is not sufficient to block her. She’s a Golden Four-Star Asura, unless your star-level surpasses her, or you are promoted to a Red Star Shura, you cannot block her.”
“In other words, as long as she keeps challenging and I refuse to accept her challenge, I won’t be able to continue fighting.”
“Yes, you won’t be able to proceed with the next Asura Arena battle, if you don’t accept the challenge.”
Lin Zhen couldn’t help but curse under his breath, he completely understood her intentions, she wanted to prevent him from becoming an Asura.
If he lost the battle, his winning rate would drop, and he’d still not be able to get promoted to Asura in the end.
Lin Zhen thought for a moment: “Well, I have to accept then. I can’t wait her out in these few days.”
“Accept. Opponent: Diana from Jade Star, Tianhe Empire, Golden Four-Star Asura Warrior. Victories: 12902. Losses: 1098. Win rate: 92%.”
“Entering scenario… desert…”
The scenery in front of Lin Zhen’s eyes changed, and he appeared in an endless expanse of yellow sand.
A hundred meters opposite him stood Diana, her eyes coldly staring at him.
“Count Lin Zhen, you finally accepted my challenge.”
“I really didn’t expect such a shameless method of challenging from a lady.”
Diana sneered: “Lin Zhen, you still have the mood to banter with me. I can tell you clearly that during this period, except for fighting me, you won’t be able to participate in any Asura Arena battles. I will keep challenging you, defeating you, and if you have the time, I can even reduce your win rate to 50%.”
“It is truly an honor to be sparring with a Gold Level Four-star Asura. It seems you have ample time.”
“Are you scared, Lin Zhen? The solution is simple, take your disgusting pirates and leave Earth right now. The further away, the better, but you are absolutely not allowed to step in the solar system. Swear on your Heart of Warrior, and I will spare you.”
“No need for more words, I choose to fight.” Lin Zhen pulled out his Cliff Corner Spear.
“Ignorant!”
Diana spat out a few cold words and suddenly disappeared into the yellow sand.
“Behind!”
Lin Zhen swiftly held his spear up to block, and Diana’s heavy sword struck!
“Clang!”
A huge collision sound rang out, and Lin Zhen’s body swayed slightly. The Galaxy Beast’s clone was far stronger than any equivalent martial artist – even if Diana was of the Constant Star Stage, she still wouldn’t gain any advantages.
“Such great power, you are indeed not a commoner. It’s a pity that the one with greater strength doesn’t always win.”
Diana didn’t succeed in the first sword strike, and the following attacks were initiated like a storm. Her sword skills were absolutely exquisite, Lin’s spear couldn’t gain any advantage in the counterattack and quickly fell into a disadvantage.
Mental Shock!
Lin Zhen’s mental shock was emitted, and both of them retreated simultaneously. Diana was also a Diamond Peak Spiritual Mind Master.
Lin Zhen wanted to use the Space Slice, yet Diana’s body movements were extremely bizarre. It was hard for Lin Zhen to predict her next step and find an opportunity to perform a Space Slice.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Lin Zhen swiftly took a few steps back, suddenly turned around and used the Back Horse Spear.
Time acceleration!
Lin Zhen had mastered ten times the time acceleration and the spear drastically speeded up in his hand.
This move took Diana by surprise but she reacted swiftly. Her shoulder shook slightly, and she wasn’t seriously injured by Lin Zhen’s spear. It hurt her, yet it didn’t make her lose her combat strength.
“Haha! So this is your trump card, almost succeeded, but Lin Zhen, you won’t have this opportunity again.”
“Gravity Space!”
Diana’s thought moved, and a black space enveloped her surroundings, surprisingly this was her domain.
Suddenly, a powerful pressure came down from the sky, and Lin Zhen’s feet sank into the sand.
Lin Zhen had experienced Huo Luofu’s gravity field, but that gravity field was full of flaws and very brittle, Lin Zhen’s Thunder Kill can break it.
But Diana’s Gravity Space was absolutely different, Lin Zhen’s shoulders felt like they were holding up a mountain. It was actually a hundred times gravity!
“Galaxy Domain!”
Lin Zhen also exhibited the Galaxy Domain in response, but his Galaxy Domain was suppressed by Diana’s Gravity Space.
“Hahaha! I didn’t expect you to have mastered the domain as well, but it’s a pity that your domain is only a first-level domain. My domain power has already reached level two. You can’t suppress me, instead, you’re suppressed by me. Lin Zhen, you stand no chance!”
Under this circumstance, Lin Zhen’s spear attack became extremely sluggish, Lin Zhen’s accelerated spearmanship couldn’t even reach his normal speed.
Lin Zhen developed the idea to initiate Starburst, but his current Starburst speed was still slower, it took more than two seconds to complete.
Diana did not give Lin Zhen this opportunity, she quickly chased after him under the boost of the gravity field, knocking Lin Zhen down with a chain killing move!
All this happened within less than a second!
The scene altered, Lin Zhen had already left the Asura Arena.
Before he could react, another challenge arrived.
It was still Diana, she did not give Lin Zhen a moment’s time at all. As she herself said, she wanted to cling to Lin Zhen for these few days, absolutely not allowing him to advance to Asura.
Lin Zhen was also a little annoyed, alright, let’s fight again!
He resolutely returned to the Asura Arena. Lin Zhen and Diana once again fought together.
The result was not much better than last time, Diana directly activated the gravity space, Lin Zhen also activated the Galaxy Domain to cope with her, but his speed was greatly suppressed. Whenever Lin Zhen wanted to condense Starburst, Diana would not give him the opportunity.
It took 1.1 seconds, Lin Zhen was defeated again!
“Again!”
This time Lin Zhen took the lesson, he began to condense the Starburst from the start, but Diana’s Gravity Space was also activated quickly, she started to chase after Lin Zhen as soon as the space was opened.
This time was slightly better, he managed to hold on for 1.2 seconds.
“It seems that my manouever can be improved a bit, come again!”
Lin Zhen accepted the challenge and returned again. At that moment of life and death battle, it really stimulated his potential, Lin Zhen truly had some insights on techniques, it successfully shortened the Starburst absorption time by about 0.3 seconds.
But this speed was still not enough, he held on for 1.5 seconds. The Starburst was not condensed yet, he was again eliminated by Diana.
The fifth time… the sixth time…
The tenth time… the twentieth time…
Time flew fast, Lin Zhen’s Starburst technique became increasingly proficient amidst the life-and-death battles, but that was all, Diana’s speed was even faster. He had not succeeded in launching Starburst even once.
When Lin Zhen was eliminated for the fortieth time, he finally calmed down.
Lin Zhen ignored Diana, quietly contemplating the previous battles.
Venus Asura’s strength was indeed impressive. After all, Lin Zhen’s training time was too short; neither the Star Core Domain nor Starburst were fully developed, unable to crack Diana’s Gravity Space.
Without cracking this Gravity Space, he wouldn’t be able to win. Without victory, he wouldn’t get Asura Title, and that would set off a big chain reaction later.
The only way to win is to speed up the Starburst and destroy her Gravity Space.
Lin Zhen was very familiar with the process of Starburst; if he could finish Starburst within 0.5 seconds, he still stood a chance.
“These failures were not in vain, my Starburst and Time Acceleration have both improved, can be completed within about 1.5 seconds. But to go from 1.5 seconds to 0.5 seconds, it relies purely on the manouever is not enough, it would also require a significant improvement in my Spiritual Power.”
Lin Zhen thought of Jie Li, the Red Seven Star Asura Warrior; his spiritual power had already exceeded the Diamond Realm. If Lin Zhen reached that realm, his Starburst completion speed would surely advance rapidly.
“The only way to increase spiritual power is to let the spiritual power enter the black hole in my Dark Star, and let the spiritual power grow rapidly under the influence of the black hole.”
At the core of Lin Zhen’s Dark Star was a neutron, which contained the breath of the black hole, but unless it was the last resort, Lin Zhen really didn’t want to face this black hole.
“I can’t care about that much now, upon reaching this realm many martial artists already have spiritual power of the Diamond Period in order to take a lead, I must take chances. Now I already have 915 wins and 41 losses, if I lose again I won’t be able to obtain the Red Star Shura Title for a short time!”
Lin Zhen decided to leave the Dimensional Universe and the Asura Arena.
He needed a quiet environment to break through spiritual power.
“Lin Zhen has left the Dimensional Universe!”
Diana sent the challenge and saw that Lin Zhen’s name had turned grey. This indicated that he had left.
“Haha! Finally gave up, did you? It seems you finally realized that there is no hope in defeating me.”
“To give you some credit, you sure are persistent. It took you forty consecutive defeats to finally give up. But now you finally understand that as long as I have Gravity Space, you cannot win.”
“Without the Asura Title, you won’t get the title Earth Lord. Lin Zhen, you are finished!”
Diana told her living intelligence: “Keep an eye on Lin Zhen’s Dimensional Universe number all the time, alert me as soon as he appears. During these few days, I will keep a close eye on him!”
