On Lin Zhen’s side, Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy as they looked at the five Advanced War Generals on the opposing team.
Although they had great confidence in Su Mingyue, she could not possibly take on several opponents at once. As for Lin Zhen, a Four-level War General, they estimated he might not be as strong as them.
Lin Zhen noticed the state of the two and figured that having them on the stage might actually hold the team back. After some thought, Lin Zhen quietly spoke a few words to them.
“As long as you do what I told you, consider your mission complete.”
Upon hearing this, Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen nodded eagerly: “If we can’t even accomplish that, we might as well just go bump our heads on tofu and die.” Zhang Sicheng’s side also briefly discussed their strategy.
Zhang Sicheng said, “Their team has four members, and we know exactly what level Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen are at. Those two can basically be ignored, so their main force must be that woman.’
Another Martial Artist interrupted, “But Lin Zhen has been quite arrogant. He probably won’t be easy to deal with either.”
“Use your brain, will you? He’s just a Four-level War General. What can he do? He’s just bluffing behind the might of his girlfriend, jumping around. But his bragging is indeed annoying. I’ll go take him out first, and you guys divide into three to deal with that girl. One of you can handle those two useless guys. After I finish off Lin Zhen, we can take care of those two wastes and then have some fun with the beauty.”
The Martial Artists all showed cunning smiles, convinced this battle was a certain victory.
The battle began, and Zhang Sicheng charged towards Lin Zhen first.
“You cocky brat! Let’s see if you have the ability to handle one of my moves!”
From the other four Advanced War Generals, three simultaneously attacked Su Mingyue, determined to keep her occupied and unable to escape.
Another person stood in front of Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen. He was the second strongest person in the squad, just below Zhang Sicheng, and believed that even if it took some time, he could defeat both of them single-handedly. The audience below watched intently, generally believing that continuing to challenge after losing the first battle was foolish.
Since they were already outmatched, losing another teammate would put the chances of victory at almost zero. It seemed that the leader of this small team was a bit unreliable.
“Zhang Sicheng and his team are really lucky. This time they’ve met such an odd squad leader, and they will get to show off again.”
“What a pity for that girl. She’s so skilled, but her judgment of people is not that good.”
“This team, apart from the beauty, is full of trash. Confirmed.”
As the people below talked, the battle on the stage had already begun.
Su Mingyue was immediately engaged in fierce combat, fearlessly fighting against being surrounded by three Martial Artists. Her sword danced in the air, and the four were evenly matched.
Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen faced the second strongest opponent and bravely lunged at him with their arms open wide.
“Ha ha! What idiots! Coming straight at me like this, let me finish you both with one move!”
Just as the man was about to attack, something unexpected happened!
At Lin Zhen’s position, a Mental Shock suddenly hit his mind!
Mental Shock worked directly on the mind, making it impossible to defend against unless using some special items with defensive effects against it.
When hit by a Mental Shock, the>Dantian ‘s qi and willpower of the person determines the impact – the stronger they were, the less they’d be affected.
However, this person’s strength was not bad, yet he was still staggered by the Mental Shock!
At that moment, Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen pounced forward, each grabbing one arm of their opponent, and violently hurled him towards the edge of the stage!
Lin Zhen had not used his full power in the Mental Shock, trying to avoid backlash because he still needed to face Zhang Sicheng head-on, but he believed that as long as Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen grabbed the opportunity, they could eliminate one opponent first.
However, Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen were a little too nervous and uncoordinated, which slowed them down a bit. It gave the Martial Artist time to react.
Just as he was about to be thrown off the stage by Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen, he skillfully grasped their wrists: “You two can come down with me!”
With that, Fu Haisheng and Luo Zhen were simply dragged down the stage, all three of them leaving together!
“Ha ha! Those two fools! They actually got dragged down the stage while trying to play dirty. It was supposed to be four against five, but now it’s two against four.”
“They’re sure to lose this time. There was still a chance when they just lost one person, but now they’ve lost two more, and there’s one person who’s a burden. Although my goddess is strong, she can’t take on four by herself.”
“Doesn’t anyone feel that Li Yu’s movements just now hesitated a bit? It seems like someone was sabotaging him. Otherwise, those two wastes wouldn’t even have had a chance to pull him off the stage with them.”
Lin Zhen released a Mental Shock and inevitably suffered backlash, feeling a slight dizziness in his head. As he faced Zhang Sicheng’s oncoming attack, his defenses became hasty. He raised his shiny silver spear for defense, and before he regained his balance, he was forced to retreat under Zhang Sicheng’s relentless strikes!
Su Mingyue saw Lin Zhen being forced to retreat by Zhang Sicheng’s single blow. Although she didn’t know why Lin Zhen was so weak, she was anxious in her heart, and her movements became somewhat chaotic while facing the remaining three Advanced War Generals, quickly falling into a disadvantageous position.
Zhang Sicheng was quite formidable; after striking the first blow, he didn’t give Lin Zhen any chance, and immediately the second slash came down Lin Zhen had already steadied his stance to counterattack, but he felt a fragrant breeze stirring beside him. Su Mingyue surprisingly took the heavy blow from Zhang Sicheng for him!
Caught off guard, Su Mingyue forcefully blocked the combined attack of three opponents, and then, while still off balance, she blocked Zhang Sicheng’s full force strike. The blood and energy in her chest surged, her pretty face paling, her body retreating continuously. Lin Zhen immediately reached out to support her.
“Mingyue, why did you come over? That was too dangerous.” Lin Zhen was quite helpless. If Su Mingyue hadn’t come over, this would have been the moment for a counterattack, but now the situation had changed.
Turning to look at Lin Zhen, Su Mingyue’s red lips had already lost much of their color, but her tone was unwavering, “If we lose, we lose together.”
A warmth filled Lin Zhen’s heart, “We won’t lose.”
But judging from the situation on the stage, Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue were bound to lose. Two against four, they were completely at a disadvantage and had no chance to turn the tables.
Jiang Huai, who was watching the battle from below, shook his head slightly. Lin Zhen’s performance was too disappointing. Although his Realm had improved a little, compared to the assessment, there was no visible improvement in his strength — it seemed that he had even regressed.
Zhang Sicheng burst into laughter at this moment and approached with the three remaining Advanced War Generals.
“What’s up, kid? Do you know how powerful I am now? I thought you had some real skills when you boasted earlier. It turns out you only have such meager skills. It seems you’ve been mooching off her all along.”
At this moment, Su Mingyue stood in front of Lin Zhen with her sword drawn:
“Don’t even think about hurting him. He’s just in a bad condition now.”
“Hahaha, little girl, you better stop making excuses for that wimp. Everyone has clearly seen his skills. If you hadn’t desperately blocked my sword for him just now, he would already be injured and rolled off the stage. However, I have to apologize to you because I didn’t want to hurt you. When you get hurt, my heart aches as well.”
A few nearby War Generals also mocked, belittling Lin Zhen as worthless.
From the crowd watching below, a buzzing sound followed, with many making unpleasant remarks.
Anger filled Su Mingyue’s chest, but she didn’t know what to say to defend Lin Zhen.
At this moment, Lin Zhen gently pulled Su Mingyue, “Mingyue, watch the battle from down below. I’ll take them on alone this time.”
“What did you say?” Su Mingyue turned back to look at Lin Zhen.
“I mean, you go down and rest. I’ll deal with these guys.” Lin Zhen repeated it.
“But…”” Su Mingyue hesitated.
“No more buts. Don’t you trust me?”
Looking at the determination in Lin Zhen’s eyes, Su Mingyue nodded without hesitation this time, “I trust you.”
Lin Zhen stepped forward, and Su Mingyue didn’t say anything else. She sheathed her sword and walked down the stage. The two collisions had indeed injured her, and she needed some time to recover. Although she believed she could still continue fighting, she didn’t want to put Lin Zhen in a difficult position.
Even if they lose, it didn’t matter. She would encourage Lin Zhen to start again.
Seeing Su Mingyue leaving the stage, Zhang Sicheng became even more arrogant, “Kid, are you planning to give up? Do you want to say a few more heroic words before you go? If so, I advise you not to bother. You’re only bringing humiliation upon yourself.”
Lin Zhen didn’t argue with him but instead waved his shining spear, “Stop talking nonsense. All four of you, come at me together!”
“He’s really too full of himself, not knowing his own limits.”
“You, living off a woman like that, I can take you down by myself!”
As the three martial artists spoke, they each grabbed their weapons and charged aggressively toward Lin Zhen.
This time, Zhang Sicheng really didn’t move. After just battling Lin Zhen, he believed he had seen through Lin Zhen’s strength. His three subordinates were more than enough to easily deal with Lin Zhen, so there was no need for him to personally join the fray and lower his status.
The people off the stage all shook their heads. Most of them thought that being a little weaker wasn’t the problem, but being weak and not knowing it, as well as trying to play the hero, was just too pathetic. Lin Zhen was absolutely not worthy of his fairy-like companion.
Fu Haisheng, a martial artist from the Capital who had always been secretly in love with Su Mingyue, saw this opportunity and immediately walked up to Su Mingyue’s side, speaking in a deep tone, “This is all my fault. I listened to Lin Zhen’s words and rashly left the stage with my opponent. If I were still on stage, I believe the outcome wouldn’t have been like this. Ming Yue, don’t worry, I will strive to cultivate harder. Next time we go on stage together, we’ll avenge Lin Zhen…”
Su Mingyue glanced at Fu Haisheng, “Saying this, aren’t you afraid Lin Zhen will take care of you?”
“He… he can’t even take care of himself now.” Fu Haisheng sneered.
“Is that so? Why don’t you take a look for yourself?” Su Mingyue didn’t bother with him anymore, standing up and moving further away.
Fu Haisheng looked at the stage with disdain but almost dropped his eyes out in shock!
