Chapter 578: Heavenly Reaper
Chapter 578: Heavenly Reaper
When Ling Zhan returned to the arena,
He noticed that after several rounds of matches, there were fewer participants left on both sides.
Currently,
The worst off were the Free Federation, Fusang Nation, and the Holy Empire.
The Free Federation’s best fighter, Stein, had been able to overpower the Earth Ghost General of Takamagahara, who was at the same level!
Such a fierce competitor, yet as soon as he entered the arena, he was eliminated.
Due to poor draw luck, the rest of the Free Federation’s team members also faced off against the Saints of Demon Arrival and the Night Whisperer, resulting in only one remaining from their team of five.
The remaining one was simply lucky enough not to have been drawn yet.
It had been mentioned before,
This death match had very unique rules.
Unlike traditional matches,
The selection of fighters was random, drawn from the fifty fighters on each side.
It was possible to be selected, win one match,
Only to be drawn again the next moment.
With the healing of a fourth-tier Priest, participants could recover to peak condition in both spirit and power, so the strong ones didn’t fear this mechanism.
Of course...
Because of this mechanism, there were still participants who had yet to fight at all.
The Free Federation was left with only one fighter, a level-93 participant who was the weakest among them. The Free Federation’s third squad was basically annihilated.
Fusang Nation had only two fighters left.
The Dark Empire was wiped out entirely, with all five of their top combatants dead.
The faces of the commanders of these three nations were utterly grim!
Humiliation!!
A slap in the face!!
These supposed great powers, with their supposedly best talents, had been bested by members of underground dark organizations!
“Forget everything else, the Free Federation is simply embarrassing!”
“For sure! And remember, their opponents are from evil organizations! Apart from the Demon Advocate, the rest are hiding in the sewers, too ashamed to show themselves!”
“Maybe we’ve become too complacent?”
“...”
The audience couldn’t help but shake their heads in discussion.
The live audience felt this way.
Let alone those online!
Yes...
The internet was already in an uproar!
“Whoo-hoo! Here’s a joke: the superpowers were knocked down by evil organizations!”
“Are you kidding me? Free Federation and Fusang Nation are this weak?”
“If you were going to be this pathetic, couldn’t you have had some self-awareness and stayed out? Now you’ve lost both people and face!”
“Absolute trash!”
“...”
Netizens naturally couldn’t contain their anger.
In an ordinary match, a loss would be just a loss—no big deal, just some ribbing and that’s it.
But this death match was about national pride!
A loss meant total disgrace for the country!
And it was also a slap to the face of each nation’s military!
The most complaints came from the Free Federation’s citizens.
It was a case of hating iron for not being steel.
The only good news was...
Although the reserve squads of the Free Federation, Fusang Nation, and others suffered heavy losses,
The evil organizations had it no better.
Aside from the Saints of Demon Arrival, there was only the Fourth Demon General left.
Bloodhammer Guild was left with just one, the silent, scarred Saintess named Agnes. All others were dead.
The Demon Advocate had the most left.
They had lost six, and four remained, with one of the fallen being Janet, the succubus Saintess killed by Ling Zhan.
Night Whisperer had three left: the Saint, Saintess, and a Watchman.
Dark Church fared the worst, with only one Saint left.
Comparatively, the major military forces still had more people left.
Some of the stronger fighters had been selected twice and had won both times.
Now,
The referee once again took the stage.
The previous round was over, and the next was about to begin.
The evil organizations now had only twelve fighters remaining.
Hmm...
From here on, it was going to be a bloodbath!!
While the match mechanism involved some luck,
Everyone left had survived real battles and was without a doubt a formidable talent!
These were the elites below level 100!
At this moment,
The next few rounds were bound to be the most intense clashes of top-level talents!
And if there was one person everyone had their eyes on...
Naturally, it was the non-specialist, Ling Zhan!!
“Unbelievable...”
“It just hit me that, apart from facing a Demon General in the first match, Ling Zhan’s opponents have all been either Saints or Saintesses!”
“Hiss! Now that you mention it, wasn’t Ling Zhan only level 70? These Saints and Saintesses are all terrifying beings at level 99!”
“Whoa! He fought people over twenty levels higher! This...”
“No more need to discuss—it’s confirmed! Ling Zhan is unmatched below level 100!”
“This competition feels like it has more weight than the so-called Global Warcraft Tournament!”
“Ling Zhan might as well be called the ‘Heavenly Reaper.’ He’s gone from reaping talents from our own country to reaping talents abroad, and now he’s even taking out the talents of evil organizations!”
“Hahaha! I like that title—‘Heavenly Reaper’!”
“...”
As the spectators continued their discussions, they realized just how terrifying Ling Zhan’s record was!
Perhaps they had grown accustomed to his prowess because when Ling Zhan took down these powerful dark organization talents, the audience’s first reaction was one of expected acknowledgment, not astonishment.
But thinking back now...
It was truly outrageous!
“Next, announcing the first match of the new round!”
At that moment,
The referee’s calm voice broke through the crowd’s chatter.
The audience eagerly turned their gaze to the holographic screen.
Feeling the inexplicable excitement from the audience, the referee couldn’t help but smile wryly.
After all, this was a match of life and death!
It could only be broadcast on international channels, and no domestic broadcasts were allowed due to the violence and the fact that it wasn’t suitable for children.
This world was cruel, but at the very least, these things could wait until the children were in college.
In truth, during the recent ten-minute break,
The Tier 4 leaders of both sides met once again.
This time, the leaders of the five evil organizations openly challenged them, daring Ling Zhan to compete again.
To this, General Li sneered, “Why not?”
Why wouldn’t they dare?
As long as they dared to show up, Ling Zhan dared to kill!
After watching Ling Zhan’s performance in the past few matches, General Li had placed his complete trust in him!
He was even considering making Ling Zhan the captain of a top squad after the tournament!
