Chapter 588: The Iron-Clad Ling Zhan, The Fleeting Geniuses
Chapter 588: The Iron-Clad Ling Zhan, The Fleeting Geniuses
“God Ling really isn’t taking them seriously at all!”
“If anyone else said this, I’d think they were just arrogant. But when God Ling says it, it feels completely justified.”
“Such double standards, but I have to admit, I feel the same way, haha!”
“Did you see that? Those losers from the evil organizations are all furious, and yet they can’t do anything about God Ling. It’s hilarious!”
All at once!!
Ling Zhan’s request was undoubtedly the biggest provocation for these various evil organizations!
Li Sheng, Zhong Lan, Otto, and others all felt deeply insulted and belittled.
Sure, this non-specialist is impressive, but isn’t this arrogance taking it too far?
“Fine!!”
“Since you insist on it, we’ll grant your wish!”
“Right now, we’ll make sure you pay a terrible price for your arrogance. Let this teach you a lesson for your next life: be more humble if you don’t want to get killed again!”
The Son of the Devil’s Arrival, Li Sheng, stepped forward, full of righteous indignation.
He made it seem as if agreeing to Ling Zhan’s challenge was some noble act.
For those who didn’t know better, it might have seemed like Li Sheng was about to do something grand and honorable!
The Saint of the Demon Advocates, Otto, frowned slightly.
Of course, he was infuriated by the taunts from this non-specialist, but...
Taking him on all at once didn’t quite align with his usual approach.
Otto was a fighter who valued one-on-one duels.
He looked down on the idea of group assaults.
“Otto, what are you hesitating for? Do you want to fight this monster alone and get yourself killed?”
At that moment,
A bird-like voice from the Night’s Whisper Organization spoke into Otto’s ear.
Otto’s expression immediately darkened upon hearing this.
Damn it!!
This is unbearable!
He despised ganging up on others, but he didn’t want to die either!
So, what choice did he have?
His life was more important!
Pride was important, and so were his principles.
But life was the most important thing!
Thus...
After his initial hesitation, Storm Demon King Otto followed Li Sheng, the Devil’s Arrival Saint, onto the stage.
Behind him came the ever-smiling Saintess Zhong Lan.
And the Dark Church’s Son, Ku Keleite.
Two members of the Night’s Whisper Organization also stepped forward.
These two bird-like figures were mysterious; they had no known names, and it was impossible to tell which was male and which was female.
However, since they were Saints from the Night’s Whisper Hell, it was clear one had to be male, and the other female.
Meanwhile...
Ten secondary fighters from the evil organizations snorted in disdain before joining the six prominent saints.
A 1V16 situation!!
This scene unfolded before everyone’s eyes.
The referee watched with interest, showing no intention of intervening.
After all, this was requested by the competitor himself, and this was no official, sanctioned competition—there was no need to fuss over fairness or the details!
This was a match meant for slaughter!!
Two sides, fifty participants each, fighting until one side was wiped out!
Such were the brutal rules of the Deathmatch!
Now...
The globally-renowned non-specialist was making history once again!
It was common enough for talented individuals to take on multiple opponents in the early levels, especially prodigies.
But at these higher levels, everyone was a seasoned fighter; no one here was a pushover.
These people were all above level 95!
This wasn’t like those earlier fights at levels 40 or 50!
“Wait a minute...”
“Don’t forget, this guy is still a freshman!!”
The referee and the audience remembered an important fact.
A freshman!!
Holy shit!!
“Damn! If you hadn’t mentioned it, I would’ve thought Ling Zhan had already graduated and spent a few years in frontline battles!”
“Yeah, with the way the reserve members treat him with such respect, I really thought Ling Zhan was an old veteran!”
“My God! This is insane! A freshman student taking on a 1V16 battle against renowned level 99 fighters!”
“Wait... Are you saying this non-specialist went from taking his entrance exam to killing level 99 powerhouses in under a year!?”
“Yeah! In less than a year, he went from being a level 10 newbie to a terrifying prodigy that can tear through level 99 warriors!”
Wow!!
The crowd erupted into another uproar.
Listening to the audience’s chatter,
Li Sheng, Zhong Lan, and the others remembered that they were all in their late twenties or almost thirty!
And their opponent... was only eighteen...
They were nearly ten years older than him!!
The agreement between the evil organizations and the national corps was that each side would send fifty fighters below level 100, with no age limit, as long as they were below level 100.
So some of these fighters were in their thirties or forties...
Damn it!!
Even these evil scoundrels felt a bit embarrassed.
Damn it!!
This was beyond humiliating!
Storm Demon King Otto, who was already reluctant to gang up on Ling Zhan, felt even more frustrated.
But he knew.
The more this was the case!
The more Ling Zhan needed to be killed!!
This 1V16 battle would be the grand finale of the Deathmatch!!
Damn!
No more hesitation...
This guy can’t be allowed to continue growing!
This growth is terrifying... Faster than a rocket!
In the reserve seat area of the various national corps.
The members glanced around at each other, eventually exchanging helpless looks!!
Li Chaoge, Saint Luni, Saint Lucy, and Zhu Yaoguang—four young women of great beauty and grace—sat together, their faces reflecting a mix of wry smiles and deep sighs.
If anyone was feeling most defeated...
It was definitely them!
Zhu Yaoguang...
Back at the beginning of the school year, she could still barely keep up with Ling Zhan, at least enough to see his shadow ahead.
Li Chaoge, Saint Luni, Saint Lucy...
They were the same. During the Global Beast Tournament, Ling Zhan had to unlock his bindings and fully release his stats to crush Saint Luni.
But now?
These once-proud princesses of the heavens could only sit in the audience!!
It truly confirmed the saying...
Ling Zhan is the iron that remains, while the talents of the world come and go like water.
“Ahem!”
“Everyone, please settle down! Do not disrupt this crucial match!”
“The match is about to begin! This could be the finale of the Deathmatch!”
“So I urge all audience members to not distract the participants in any way!”
At this moment, the referee on stage cleared his throat and issued a reminder.
