Chapter 745: Chapter 748: Lin Zhen’s Supporters
In the past few days, the matter of Lin Zhen has been brewing and fermenting. On the day before the actual start of the competition, Zuixing Lake’s Holy Land was already packed with people.
During previous Holy Land selections, there were also countless people here, but never as many as this time.
The Dimensional Universe Company is a great invention, giving people throughout the universe a platform to communicate. People at home can now watch the entire universe.
But this time it was different. After Lin Zhen’s appearance, the various forces in the Qin Kingdom took advantage of the situation. The Qin people were more united, and once they had the same enemies, they created a grand scene.
According to statistics, the number of people who came to watch the competition in person at Zuixing Lake this time was higher than ever before, even doubling!
If there were 100 people in the Holy Land to watch, 60 of them were there to see how Lin Zhen would fail, while the remaining 40 were watching other martial artists.
Lin Zhen had previously brought humiliation to the Qin Kingdom and caused losses to many forces. Many wealthy people even volunteered to pay out, as long as you came to watch, they would give you money. All you had to do was curse Lin Zhen, and they would give you money!
In the vast Qin Kingdom and the Original World, there were indeed too many people who didn’t care about money.
The competition had not yet begun, and the battle area with the number 7 prefix was already overcrowded.
It was truly overcrowded. Tomorrow was the day when the competition was supposed to begin, and it was already jam-packed today. People gathered here, forming a terrifying crowd.
Originally, as soon as the Holy Land started the competition, the lakeshore of Zuixing Lake would be a battlefield spanning thousands of kilometers. However, the unexpected crowding forced the Holy Land to make temporary changes to the arena, even setting up a specific rule for Lin Zhen’s situation.
A huge arena was built, specifically for Lin Zhen.
If Lin Zhen got eliminated after just one match, it would be fine. If there was a second or third match, this would be his exclusive arena, and there would be no need to change venues. All the fights would take place here.
The reason for this change was to take the surrounding audience into consideration and give them the best viewing environment.
No matter how big the arena was, it wouldn’t be able to accommodate all the spectators. Screens of several kilometers were set up around the arena.
The screens could be seen from all sides, broadcasting simultaneously, allowing the audience to see the situation on the arena from any angle and immerse themselves in the lively atmosphere.
Countless banners had already been erected, and new ones were being put up constantly.
“Lin Zhen, a scum who will die here!”
“A scumbag who specifically seduces other people’s wives, the Qin Kingdom will be your burial ground!”
“Emperor of Nanliang, Liang Zhihuan, Phoenix Young Master Jun Mo, all were cuckolded by Lin Zhen, a man with an extremely poor character!”
“Qin Kingdom’s Jiao Xi, invincible in battle!”
“National Master, the mighty. His disciples will surely avenge the entire nation!”
Even before the day of the competition, more than a hundred billion people had come to secure a spot!
According to estimates from the Holy Land, by tomorrow, the number of people watching Lin Zhen’s battle could exceed 500 billion!
The people of the Qin Kingdom formed human waves, hand in hand, creating waves of continuous motion. The sight was so spectacular that it made people’s scalp tingle.
Ordinary people, if targeted like this, would probably have wobbly legs even before the fight began.
Moreover, the Qin people stated that they would not accept Lin Zhen’s surrender. He must die to atone for his crimes!
*********
Inside the floating villa of the Total Association, Lin Zhen was undergoing his final practice.
In the Dimensional Arena, Lin Zhen was fighting against a martial artist at the peak of the Longevity Realm.
The martial artist was a virtual character, at the peak of Longevity Realm, with an Advanced Divine Body, and a Star Power that was even tens of millions higher than Lin Zhen’s.
Most importantly, this martial artist was proficient in Sacred Land martial arts, which required hundreds of millions of costs per simulation.
This time, Lin Zhen used all his techniques: time acceleration-deceleration! Sky-cutting Divine Sword, sword rings, and Sword Gangs all fought!
In the end, Lin Zhen finally seized an opportunity, inflicting damage on his opponent before being eliminated.
But Lin Zhen was not at all discouraged. On the contrary, he was extremely excited. It was only by constantly challenging the peak that his strength would improve. This was the first time he had killed a Holy Land martial artist at the peak of the Longevity Realm, a tremendous progress.
After leaving the Dimensional Arena, Lin Zhen saw Ning Qingxuan by his side, her beautiful eyes watching him with a hint of worry.
“Xuan’er, what’s wrong?”
“Lin Zhen, right now, there are voices opposing you everywhere outside. I am really worried.”
“Oh! I didn’t expect that, my popularity in the Qin Kingdom is really high. Just look at other countries in the Original World, only Nanliang can compare with the Qin Kingdom, but Nanliang is too small, and they are far away compared to Da Qin.”
Ning Qingxuan gently punched him: “You still have the mood to joke.”
“Hehe! Xuan’er, martial artists rely on their own strength when fighting. They never rely on external supporters to determine victory or defeat. Since the Qin people want me dead, I will stubbornly stay alive and keep killing my way through, just to anger them!”
Seeing Lin Zhen’s optimism, Ning Qingxuan felt relieved, “You don’t have to worry about anything either. Although the people of Qin Kingdom wish you dead, you still have quite a few supporters outside of the Qin Kingdom. I even heard that a group of your fans came from afar to support you in Qin Kingdom.”
“Really? Where are the fans from that are so supportive?”
“You can check out Dimensional Universe. Those fans have already occupied a corner of the arena, waving banners in your support.”
Lin Zhen logged onto the Dimensional Universe immediately. News about the Holy Land selection was all over the internet, and his situation even made the headlines.
Even many media reporters were already reporting on-site. Reporters always appear wherever there’s interest from the public.
Lin Zhen casually found a media outlet that was reporting on the events near his arena.
“Dear audience, I am Han Du, a reporter from XX TV station, reporting from the Falling Star Lake.”
“As we all know, the Holy Land selection at Falling Star Lake is a grand event that has always attracted attention, especially in our Qin Kingdom, where everyone is a loyal fan of the Holy Land battles.”
“The people of Qin are hospitable and proud! We are the strongest nation, but we don’t discriminate against warriors from other countries. When warriors from other countries arrive, they are warmly welcomed.”Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“However, this time there is an exception in the competition at Falling Star Lake. One Martial Artist has been collectively rejected by the people of our country. Who is he? I believe everyone knows by now – it’s Lin Zhen.”
“I won’t go into too much detail about Lin Zhen. The decline of our country’s strength can be largely attributed to him alone. Now let’s see what’s happening on the scene.”
The camera started to broadcast. The prepared crowd saw the camera coming and rushed to grab the spotlight, shouting loudly at the screen.
Their shouts were basically all the same – things like ‘Lin Zhen must lose’ and ‘Jiao Xi will win.’
“Hehe! It seems that everyone has high enthusiasm, but today it seems that a group of people hold a different opinion. Let’s go take a look.”
The camera continued to move forward, reaching a group of about ten thousand people on the edge of the arena, who were setting up banners in support of Lin Zhen.
“May I ask where you all are from?” Host Han Du asked.
The interviewee was a beautiful girl. She told the host, “We are all fans of Lin Zhen, coming from various places. As for me… I came from the New World and have known Brother Lin for a long time.”
“Brother Lin, keep it up! Victory is certain!” The beautiful girl shouted at the camera.
A group of people behind her rushed to hold up banners and chant slogans, expressing their support for Lin Zhen.
Inside the Dimensional Universe, Lin Zhen’s eyes were slightly heated.
The girl was Zi Qianxia, and in the crowd, he saw several familiar faces, including Zhao Xiaoman, Long Juetian, Qing Xu, and Chen Fenglie.
Looking at their outfits, it was clear that they were not from the same country before but came together to support Lin Zhen.
They had spontaneously rushed over from various places after hearing about Lin Zhen’s participation.
“They’re all old friends!”
The appearance of these old friends made Lin Zhen feel as if he was back in the New World.”
They collectively chanted at the camera, “Lin Zhen, keep going! We will always accompany you, never leaving your side!”
“Thank you so much! I will definitely not disappoint you!”
Lin Zhen took a deep breath, hugged Ning Qingxuan beside him, and said, “Xuan’er, when there is a chance, I will introduce you to my friends. They are all old friends.”
“Mhm.” Ning Qingxuan nodded obediently. She had already begun to recall some fragmented memories from her time with Lin Zhen.
In her memories, she deeply loved Lin Zhen.
The host, seeing the slogans of the group, felt that the broadcast was somewhat inappropriate and simply decided to interview somewhere else.
As the camera was switching, two Martial Artists from New World, a man, and a woman, were talking, their voices faintly heard.
The woman said to the man, “Husband, prepare more food and supplies. Lin Zhen’s matches will probably last for many rounds, and we should be ready in advance.”
The scene disappeared, but Ning Qingxuan was stunned for a moment.
“She…called that man ‘husband.’ Lin Zhen, don’t tell me this is just a coincidence.”
Lin Zhen’s eyes flickered, knowing that he couldn’t hide it, and brazenly said, “That’s right, it’s not a coincidence. ‘Husband’ is a term of endearment a woman uses for her spouse; those who can call their spouse this must be married.”
“Lin Zhen…you liar!” Ning Qingxuan’s face flushed red, and she raised her fist to punch Lin Zhen.
“Being hit now would not be a gain for me. I haven’t done what a husband should do for his wife yet. Shall we do it now?”
Lin Zhen suddenly pinned Ning Qingxuan down, losing his restraint against the incredibly beautiful woman.
Ning Qingxuan flustered underneath Lin Zhen, her face flushed as he caressed her. When his hand reached into her clothes and covered her chest, the young lady’s mind went blank!
