Chapter 81 - 81: One Against Three

Translator: 549690339

Due to the angle, others couldn’t see clearly what Lin Zhen had taken out, but they knew that Lin Zhen possessed a Space Ring.

Yang Jianying’s eyes lit up, and he somewhat incredulously said, “Is this… is this real…?”

“Of course it’s real. I wonder if this thing can be used as a bet?” Lin Zhen was very confident. In his previous life, when he joined the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, Yang Jianying was the master. He was one of the first people to discover the secret of Dark Energy Stones. His talent was not very high, and he was stuck at the Fifth-level War God realm. To break through, he needed a large Dark Energy Stone.

He had never seen such a large Dark Energy Stone before. If he sold it to someone who knew its value, he might be able to sell it for several billion.

So Yang Jianying was tempted and asked Lin Zhen in a deep voice, “How do you want to bet? What do you want to bet on? Don’t try to set me up, you’re still too young.”

Lin Zhen hooked the corner of his mouth: “It’s quite simple. A life-and-death duel. No complaints if someone is killed. If I can defeat all three Russian fighters at once, you’ll give me another five kilograms of liquid metal. Don’t look at me like that, I know Blue Sky can afford it. If I lose, this huge Dark Energy Stone is yours. Do you dare?”

“Hehe! Haha! Hahaha! Kid, are you crazy? You want to face these three Russians at the same time? And it’s a life-and-death battle! Fine, I have no reason not to grant you your wish. Let’s sign the contract right now. It seems I’m in for a bountiful harvest today!”

Yang Jianying felt that Lin Zhen might have some plot, but as a War God-level martial artist, he had his own judgment and didn’t believe Lin Zhen would dare to pull any tricks. In his view, he couldn’t lose in this matter.

Yang Jianying, without a doubt, was a confident person. The more confident a person is, the more he trusts his judgment.

Both of them quickly signed the contract for the life-and-death duel, an agreement for the tournament without holding back. Actually, people dying in tournament battles were quite ordinary, and this agreement was just a formality.

Lin Zhen put down the pen, his heart filled with joy.

There were onlv a few hundred kilograms of liauid metal in the entiretv of Ice City. Gale, Changfeng, and Dragon Slayer each had a small amount, the technology department had slightly more, and the rest was distributed among small martial arts halls and various individuals. Blue Sky just happened to have five kilograms, which was considered a lot.

With only five kilograms of liquid metal, there would be no significant practical use, as the low quantity meant it couldn’t be used to form any powerful weapons. Having ten kilograms of liquid metal would truly have some use, and Lin Zhen had to get his hands on it.

Once the contract was signed, the three Russian fighters were informed about Lin Zhen’s challenge to face all three at once. They looked at Lin Zhen with anger and disdain, vowing to tear this Hua Xia kid, who looked down on them, to pieces!

Reporters at the scene immediately reported the news on the internet and television simultaneously.

“Ladies and gentlemen, today’s challenge has taken a new turn. Lin Zhen from Gale Martial Arts Hall is back. I believe the name Lin Zhen is not too unfamiliar to everyone. Not only is he here to defend Gale Martial Arts Hall’s honor, but he has also made a secret bet with Gale Martial Arts Hall’s master Yang Jianying. We’re not sure what the stakes are, but we now know the content of the bet, which is a life-and-death duel.”

The reporter paused, and then said loudly, “Lin Zhen is going to compete on stage. His opponents are Nelov, Eva, and Ivan, all three Russians against Lin Zhen alone. One against three!”

“Yes, you heard it right, I didn’t misspeak. It’s one against three. Lin Zhen alone against three opponents. My God! This is simply too crazy! Friends in Ice City, you’ve all seen the strength of those three Russians. So far, no warrior has defeated any of them. Let’s all pray for Lin Zhen, pray for a miracle to happen!”

The reporter pretended to pray, while Dongfang Jun’s face grew uglier: “What is Lin Zhen trying to do? Is one against three that much fun? How can our martial arts hall have someone so courageous, reckless, and fond of gambling?”

While people were discussing Lin Zhen’s actions, the internet was exploding!

“Handsome! This is called being handsome. Fighting three at once, Lin Zhen, just with your courage, I support you!”

“Idiot, that’s not called courage, it’s called ignorance. Lin Zhen is showing off too much. I’m just waiting to see how he dies.”

“Although I hope Lin Zhen wins, there’s really no chance of victory.” “Wuwuwu…my male god, Lin Zhen is going to die, what should I do?”

The martial arts hall was in an uproar, and everyone looked at Lin Zhen in disbelief, including Zhao Liang and the others, who also thought that Lin Zhen was playing too big this time.

As Spiritual Mind Masters, they believed that Lin Zhen could beat any opponent of the same level, but one against three, could he really win?

Lin Zhen did a few simple warm -up moves below the stage, then took out the Black Dragon Spear and jumped onto the stage with a light leap.

On the stage, Ivan and the other two stood in a straight line, looking at Lin Zhen with the eyes of someone seeing a dead man.

Seeing Lin Zhen step onto the stage, Ivan approached with Eva and Nelov to his left and right. He took the initiative to talk: “Lin Zhen, I’ve known about you for a long time. In my eyes, you are just a lucky guy. I’ve been wanting to teach you a lesson and let you know that there are always stronger people out there. Today, finally, I have this opportunity. Moreover, I know you are an arrogant and ignorant fool. You insulted me and our ethnic group, so today, we’ve decided not to give you any chance to leave the ring alive.”

Lin Zhen sneered: “From your impassioned rant, I thought you wanted a one-on-one duel.”

“No, no, no! Although I am confident about defeating you, this is the path you chose for yourself. There’s no reason for us not to let you go down this road, so… Lin Zhen, just go to hell! Let’s go!”

At Ivan’s command, Nelov charged like a tank.

This time, Nelov was wearing a massive pair of Iron Fist Gloves on both arms!

In previous battles, Nelov never used these weapons, so it turns out he had been holding back.

As he stepped into the ring, the entire stage trembled slightly as Nelov charged like a wild beast, yelling so loudly that it made people’s eardrums numb. His fists unleashed a sonic boom!

“Boom, boom!”

The piercing sound of the sonic boom changed Meng Dong’s face. If Nelov had fought with such vigor from the beginning, he wouldn’t have lasted a minute.

Lin Zhen moved his feet, avoiding Nelov’s onslaught rather than taking it head-on. This wild beast-like charge should not be resisted directly. Lin Zhen dodged to the right, preparing to counterattack.

At that moment, the attack from Eva arrived.

As Nelov charged in, Eva had already flanked him and accurately predicted Lin Zhen’s dodging route. Her two western swords, like two venomous snakes, aimed directly at Lin Zhen’s throat and lower body, vital areas!

The female martial artist’s moves were ruthless and terrifying. Although she had held back in previous fights, her current attacks were deadly.

Eva was well-rounded, with almost every statistic at the peak of the Warrior phase. In normal terms, she had reached the limit of the Warrior phase, with no obvious weaknesses.

Lin Zhen had not yet found a stable footing and seemed almost too late to defend himself. He touched his spear’s tip to the ground and jumped into the air!

On the other side, Ivan had been waiting for this opportunity. As soon as Lin Zhen jumped, he saw Ivan approaching, swinging his iron claws to create countless shadows, attacking with a sky-filling onslaught!

Theoretically, there was no place for Lin Zhen, who couldn’t leverage his power in the air, to dodge.

“Not good!”

Dongfang Jun’s face changed, and he suddenly stood up from his seat.

The martial artists from Gale Martial Arts Hall were also watching nervously. At that moment, almost nobody could sit still.

“Ha Kai!”

Lin Zhen roared, twirling his spear like a windmill, forming a layer of light and shadow in front of him. A shower of sparks erupted in the air, and the continuous metallic collisions sounded like a long shriek!

“Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding!!!”

Ivan was forced to retreat. Lin Zhen’s body was propelled even higher by the force of Ivan’s attack!

“Well done!” The Martial Arts Hall erupted in cheers, with almost everyone supporting Lin Zhen.

As soon as Ivan landed, he assumed a stance. Eva and Nelov also took positions down below, standing in a triangular formation. Each of them held their breath, preparing to make a fatal strike on Lin Zhen as soon as he landed!

The entire hall became so quiet you could hear a pin drop. Everyone saw the dangerous situation Lin Zhen was in. He couldn’t stay in the air forever. Once he landed, he would face an unprecedented joint attack from the three of them..
