Chapter 272 - Facing Legendary Lin Xun (1/2)

Edited by Lord Immortal

A list of the first-round battles was released. Two hundred participants would fight on one hundred platforms in the venue.

Time was limited to 15 minutes, as stated before.

When the list spread throughout the audience, it immediately caused numerous debates, which were all analysis of first-round battles.

“It seems that there are not many top talents in the first match list. What are you so hopeful for?”

“Notice the 36th platform, please! It’s Lin Xun! Isn’t he a top genius?”

“It’s really Lin Xun! That fellow is a cruel man.”

“God! I never thought I’d see Lin Xun in the first challenge. Is he really as fierce as the rumors say?”

“Aha, which force Tan Long belongs to? He is so unlucky to meet the monstrous Lin Xun in the first round.”

After perusing the information, everyone agreed that the 36th platform was the most worthwhile to watch in the first stage.

After all, there were a hundred battles in the field that will commence at the same time. No one could focus on all of them, so they only chose the most attractive contests to pay attention to.

Obviously, in this first match, Lin Xun’s performance was undoubtedly the most anticipated one.

The audience knew that Lin Xun had fought against Qi Yunxiao and Yuan Shu before, and he also had an intense struggle with Huang Jianchen, a disciple of an aristocratic family in the Forbidden City.

In their hearts, Lin Xun had long been a dazzling figure with a fierce fighting prowess. Now in this first phase, it was exciting to see Lin Xun’s performance with their eyes.

For a moment, Lin Xun’s name echoed in the whole site.

Gu Liang, who was standing in the audience, could not help feeling shocked when he witnessed this spectacle. Who could have expected that Lin Xun, an unnoticed young man in Donglin Town, would now be an imposing figure in Mist City?

On the White Jade platform, hearing the boiling voices in the field, the bigwigs like Liu Wujun, Wei Lingzhen, and Du Dongtuo also had complex feelings.

It had been less than a year since Lin Xun appeared in Mist City, and this young man had risen like a star and garnered great attention; It was no less than a miracle.

Thinking of what happened to Lin Xun, they also had to admit that he really had his redeeming features to be proud!

That battle on the rainy night had caused more than ten powerful forces to suffer heavy losses, but they dared not vent their anger. A peak battle in the arena with Huang Jianchen, a disciple of an aristocratic family, had resulted in him feeling dismayed.

Now, he was participating in the Province Test. Nobody could tell what surprises he would bring this time.

But there was no doubt that inferring from his past performances, it should not be difficult for him to pass the Province Test. Of course, no one was sure whether there would be any accidents before the final results were released.

At this time, even those who took part in the examination were concentrating on Lin Xun. They had heard too much about him these days. Many people had done in-depth research on Lin’s fighting power.

However, those were rumors, after all. Today, they could witness Lin Xun’s fight in person, and perhaps they would have a more comprehensive understanding of Lin Xun.

The real talents would never underestimate any opponent. Since Lin Xun had now been recognized as the toughest opponent, they’d like to see if he was really as powerful as rumored.

…

Tan Long felt a little numb. Damn, how unlucky he must be to be arranged in the first match? And how unfortunate he must be to meet Lin Xun?

Why was he chosen among so many participants? It was not fair!

When he stepped onto the 36th platform, Tan Long could clearly feel that countless eyes in the field locked on him like sharp blades, as if they were waiting to see his fool’s errand.

Tan Long felt uncomfortable all over his body and took a deep breath to cheer himself up. “Don’t be afraid! Lin Xun is also a Human-gang Realm practitioner, same as me! He can’t have too much power.”

Suddenly, Tan Long caught a glimpse of a familiar figure approaching the platform from the other side. He couldn’t help but stare, “What are you doing, buddy? My opponent is Lin Xun, not you.”

That familiar figure was Lin Xun. When he saw Tan Long, he was stunned too. Wasn’t this the little fatty who claimed that Lin Xun had a savage green face with tusks?

Immediately, Lin Xun laughed. He paced onto the platform and chuckled, “You’re Tan Long, right?”

Tan Long suddenly felt a bit weird in his heart. Some bad premonitions crept into his heart. He swallowed his saliva hard and bobbed his head up and down. Tan Long could not help but ask, “Buddy, are you… are you Lin…”

Before he finished, Lin Xun earnestly nodded, “Yes, I’m Lin Xun.”

Hiss!

Tan Long inhaled a sharp breath, and his heart turned cold. He really was Lin Xun!

When he thought about him scolding Lin Xun as a devil from hell at their first meeting, Tan Long felt dizzy. ‘God! You’re absolutely fucking playing with me!’

“Er, Brother Lin, I didn’t mean that before. I… I heard rumors about you from others. I didn’t mean any harm.”

Before the battle even started, Tan Long had already lost his morale and said with a sour face.

“It’s all right. I don’t blame you. You just need to have a good fight with me later.”

Lin Xun said with a smile, looking quite generous.

“Can… can I give up?”
