Chapter 584 - 99: Three Arrows Defeat the Enemy, Who in the World Does Not Know My Name
The Martial Path speaks through strength.
To these martial arts geniuses present, they are indifferent to the conflict between the Liang Kingdom and Han Kingdom. The only thing that can earn their respect is strength.
And the strength Lin Chen displayed at this moment has already won their admiration.
The cheers are unrelated to the nation.
It is the reverence and respect towards a super genius.
After this battle, the name of Lin Chen will resound throughout the Nine Kingdoms.
"The Liang Kingdom’s genius of three hundred years... no... this is the first genius in five hundred years of the Nine Kingdoms."
Murong Song murmured softly, while Hou Zhantian’s hearty laughter echoed: "Brother Murong, you overpraise him. Lin Chen still has many shortcomings."
Swish!
The strong martial artists from other nations who heard this sentence looked at Hou Zhantian speechlessly. If you are truly humble, don’t laugh so heartily.
However, these strong martial artists from other nations could also understand Hou Zhantian’s mood; if there were such a genius in their country, they would be laughing more heartily than Hou Zhantian.
For Hou Zhantian’s laughter, most countries felt envious, but in Lu Qiguang’s eyes, it was extremely jarring. His old eyes fixed on the figure in the arena, and at this moment, his heart was filled with infinite killing intent.
However, the next moment, Lu Qiguang felt a breath locking onto him. Without turning his head, he knew it was Murong Zheng who sensed his killing intent, warning him not to act rashly.
"What is the Yan Kingdom Royal Family trying to do?"
Feeling Murong Zheng’s breath locking onto him, Lu Qiguang had confusion in his heart. Even if he suddenly acted and killed Lin Chen, it would be impossible for the Liang Kingdom to really go to war with the Yan Kingdom. The enmity has a leader, and the debt has an owner; at most, they would go to war with their Han Kingdom.
The Yan Kingdom only needs to remain uninvolved and choose to sit idly by.
Between Liang Kingdom and Han Kingdom, he doesn’t believe the Yan Kingdom Royal Family doesn’t know how to choose.
Where does the Yan Kingdom Royal Family get the confidence to prevent them from acting?
...
...
"When Senior Brother Lin became a model student of the Liang Martial Arts Academy, I remember someone circulating the phrase ’Who in the world does not know you?’ At that time, Senior Brother Lin’s name was just spread throughout the Liang Kingdom, but from now on, this world is the Nine Kingdoms."
Taking a deep breath, Meng Xing tightly grasped the hand of Kong Qing beside him.
"Junior Brother Meng, you can be excited, but why are you grasping my hand?"
Looking at the handprint on his arm, Kong Qing was somewhat speechless. At the moment when Senior Brother Lin’s third arrow shot Ling Tianhao off the ring, he couldn’t help but exclaim.
Various unique cultural expressions of the Liang Kingdom burst out spontaneously, but Junior Brother Meng suddenly grabbed his hand, and the explosive force made his arm feel sore till now.
"Senior Brother Kong, sorry."
Meng Xing released his hand, wishing he could roar like Kong Qing and burst out with the unique culture of the Liang Kingdom.
But the Meng Family rules do not allow him to do so, so he could only use Senior Brother Kong’s arm to vent his excitement.
...
...
On the side of the Han Kingdom Martial Arts Academy, Ling Tianhao, who came down from the arena, wore a face as dark as ink, looking down and not daring to look at the other junior brothers.
Being the fifth on the Celestial List, it was an immense humiliation to be shot down by Lin Chen’s three arrows.
Up to now, he also realized he fell into Lin Chen’s trap.
Lin Chen’s first arrow shocked him, and the statement "I will admit defeat if not defeated by three arrows" made him subconsciously think each of Lin Chen’s arrows was more powerful than the previous one.
But in fact, the power of Lin Chen’s third arrow was not as great as the first two. The first two arrows were already Lin Chen’s limit, and if he had fully blocked the third arrow, at most, he would have been injured.
But he was afraid!
On the ring, the corner of Lin Chen’s mouth curved into a sarcastic smile. The power of his third arrow was indeed inferior to the first two.
But archery never relies only on power.
Since he started practicing archery, especially the Fear of Death Arrow, his teacher told him that archery tests not only strength but also psychological strategy.
Ling Tianhao was a genius of the Han Kingdom and the fifth on the Celestial List.
Such individuals value their lives greatly!
The first two arrows had already made him fearful and lost his composure. When facing the third arrow, he subconsciously considered the statement "I will admit defeat if not defeated by three arrows," and only thought the third arrow was stronger.
Such people prioritize their survival; at the critical moment of life and death, they follow their inner decisions and make the most favorable choice for themselves.
From the moment he drew the bow on the first arrow, he had already begun the psychological game with Ling Tianhao.
He deliberately made his statement after shooting the first arrow, applying psychological pressure on Ling Tianhao when he was shocked, giving him no time to think, only able to follow his instincts.
"Who is next?"
Lin Chen’s gaze turned to the disciples of the Celestial Palace Martial Arts Academy, but under the sweep of Lin Chen’s gaze, the disciples avoided eye contact.
Even Senior Brother Ling couldn’t withstand Lin Chen’s three arrows; going up would be suicidal.
The only one who could still face Lin Chen was Senior Brother Bian.
The disciples of the Celestial Palace Martial Arts Academy, including other martial arts academy disciples from various countries at the scene, focused their eyes on Bian Xinjie.
This contest between the Celestial Palace Martial Arts Academy and Canglan Martial Arts Academy seemed to have several rounds, but the victory or defeat would be decided by only one match.
The match between Bian Xinjie and Lin Chen.
Whoever wins represents which martial arts academy wins.
If Lin Chen wins, Canglan Martial Arts Academy wins.
If Bian Xinjie wins, Celestial Palace Martial Arts Academy wins.
Both have the strength of a series of battles.
At this moment, Bian Xinjie slowly stepped onto the arena, and the entire venue became silent once again following Bian Xinjie’s ascent.
The third on the Celestial List and the seventh on the Celestial List...
Oh no, now it’s already the fifth.
"Lin Chen, he’s probably not just the fifth on the Celestial List. After all, Lin Chen defeated Ling Tianhao in three arrows. Even if we say Lin Chen is third on the Celestial List, what’s wrong with that?"
When a martial artist in the stands spoke out, those who heard it found no opposition in their hearts, but rather agreed.
In this battle, they now no longer believe Bian Xinjie necessarily holds an advantage.
Could Bian Xinjie defeat Ling Tianhao in three moves?
Many martial artists present were also on the Hidden Dragon List. Comparing their hearts, they admitted they couldn’t defeat opponents just a few ranks behind them in just three moves.
Even if the gap on the Celestial List is larger, it shouldn’t be to this extent.
"If Lin Chen can defeat Bian Xinjie today, we will witness the fastest record bump on the Hidden Dragon List."
A martial artist suddenly recalled that before the ranking competition began, Lin Chen was just the first on the Earth List, or three days prior, the eighth on the Earth List.
In four days, rising from the eighth on the Earth List to the third on the Celestial List...
This already breaks the fastest promotion record since the Hidden Dragon List appeared, even though it hasn’t been a year since its inception. It’s hard not to imagine nobody breaking this record for decades to come.
...
On the ring, Bian Xinjie looked up at Lin Chen: "I won’t waste words, you indeed surprised me, but it’s just relying on the powerful weapon."
Bian Xinjie glanced at the Dragon Shadow Bow in Lin Chen’s hand, then took out a white pearl from his bosom.
"This is the Sealing Demon Pearl. Under the cover of this pearl, your bowstring made from Flood Dragon tendons can no longer exert its power."
Swoosh!
Bian Xinjie pinched the white pearl, shattering it, and the arena floor visibly coated with frost, spreading across in just a moment.
Lin Chen could feel the trembling of the Dragon Shadow Bow in his hand, but the next moment it fell silent.
This was the Dragon Shadow Bow’s Flood Dragon power being sealed.
"It seems you’ve studied me quite thoroughly."
Lin Chen put away the Dragon Shadow Bow. In Lingxiao City, he once defeated the three brothers Yu Beichen with three arrows, which Han Kingdom also witnessed. This Sealing Demon Pearl was prepared specifically for him.
Lin Chen underestimated the Han Kingdom, preparing completely even against him before today, who was just at the Earth List strength, which is why they have always been able to stand as the top among the Nine Kingdoms.
"Even a lion fighting a rabbit uses full strength."
Bian Xinjie smiled slightly: "Without this bow, what other means do you have now?"
There was a sentence Bian Xinjie did not say; this pearl was not only prepared for Lin Chen but also to guard against the Zheng Kingdom.
