Chapter 614: Chapter 615: Kill 3000 in a Second!

The Wood King Mansion is recruiting guest ministers, and this is a grand event.

Martial artists of the Star System Stage in the Original World are not considered significant. To be frank, martial artists at this level have scarce training resources. They can earn enough to support themselves, but it’s difficult to practice martial arts further.

Star System Stage martialists without backing are almost always hindered by their financial situation.

The Wood King Mansion is recruiting guest ministers. For the top ten successful applicants, not only does the Wood King Mansion provide you with training resources, but it also provides a cash reward.

The first-ranking person can earn ten million in cash every month!

The second place earns eight million, the third five million, and positions four to ten each get one million.

The huge cash reward for the top ten recruits entices numerous Star System Stage Martial Artists, leading to countless registrations.

The testing location is inside the Dimensional Universe. Everyone arrived in front of the Wood King Mansion in the virtual world through the Dimensional Universe.

When registering, everyone receives a number. Lin Zhen discovered his numbering was in the seventies, which should be relatively front. Looking at the number of people, it was definitely over a million.

Everyone is waiting here, guessing how the mansion will conduct the examination?

Are they going to have three hundred thousand people take turns on the stage? That might take a long time.

After waiting in front of the mansion gate for a while, the mansion’s main gate opened.

Lin Zhen saw a martial artist named Mu En step out and announce loudly, “The Mansion selection begins. The way of selection, everyone, pay attention to the information in your own Dimensional Universe. The mansion has sent emails to everyone. According to the address in the email, enter the virtual world opened by the mansion.”

Lin Zhen quickly checked the Dimensional Universe and indeed, there was an email.

“Speed race!”

The main content of the email was that the mansion opens up a virtual world, a Nine Layers Tower. Each martial artist starts from the first floor. Whoever first passes through the ninth floor and leaves the tower is deemed the winner.

Hint: Inside the Nine Layers Tower, there are three Galaxy Beasts; one each from floors one to three, four to six, and seven to nine. However, it is up to the martial artists to discover on which floor each of them resides.

The three Galaxy Beasts are all of World King level, which is an unstoppable threat for martial artists of Star System Stage, this is a danger they have to face.

If you can kill a World King level Galaxy Beast, then the Dimensional Universe company is said to have substantial rewards, but the Wood King Mansion does not know the specifics. Those are the rules of the Dimensional Universe company.

This seemingly impossible task in the virtual world, an expensive place to forge, is the way the Dimensional Universe company encourages martial artists to practice diligently and challenge beyond their ranks.

After reading the email, all the martialists were very confident, feeling that they can compete by themselves.

Although killing a World King level Galaxy Beast is impossible, they need to compete with other martialists. And as there is no loss in death here, everyone is brimming with confidence.

So is Lin Zhen, with his current Star Power at 710,000. He believes he will not lose to anyone of the Star System Stage. He is sure to secure a spot in the top ten.

Regarding whether he can get into the top three, Lin Zhen can’t guarantee because there are so many unknown factors.

“Everyone has read the email, right? Now, the countdown to the start of the race begins. When the countdown ends, you can enter the virtual space.”

Mu En stopped for a moment, “At first, when opening the world, we didn’t think so many people would come. To prevent everyone from rushing in, the entrance will be blocked. Therefore, your countdown time has been divided into many stages.”

“A minute per stage, ten thousand people enter every minute. Everyone’s entrance time is random. If it takes you thirty minutes or fifty minutes to enter the virtual space, there’s no need to complain about anything. The outcome won’t be influenced by this short while.”

The crowd was buzzing with discussion, but no one raised any objections. Everyone believed they wouldn’t be so unlucky.

But Lin Zhen had a bad premonition. When Mu En was speaking, his gaze swept over towards Lin Zhen’s location. He suspected there might be foul play involved.

“Alright! The countdown begins. When you see the sixty-second countdown appearing in your Dimensional Universe, congratulations, your journey is about to begin. You cannot fly or teleport once inside. Run with all your might once you get inside, and, hopefully, you can pass the assessment smoothly.”

After he finished speaking, Mu En went back inside, leaving the million martialists waiting outside.

Soon, there were sudden shouts at the gate of the Wood King Mansion; many had already received the countdown to departure notification.

One minute later, the first batch of people had already entered the Dimensional Universe and began to move. The second batch of people were preparing to set off.

The number of people decreased by ten thousand at a time, all entering the virtual tower.

Lin Zhen looked at his number, guessing he might receive his countdown notification in the eighth batch.

However, after ten minutes, around one hundred thousand people had left the square, but Lin Zhen was not among them.

Lin Zhen even heard the martialist next to him say, “With this random drawing, those who registered earlier are more likely to be given an earlier chance. Those who registered later are usually towards the end, with few exceptions.”

After thirty minutes, the number of people on the square had decreased by three hundred thousand, yet Lin Zhen still had not been called.

An hour had passed, the number of people in the square had reduced by six hundred thousand, and Lin Zhen had finally understood completely. Mu En didn’t want him to pass the examination, so he used this despicable trick. He guessed he should be in the last batch.

As expected, after over one hundred minutes had passed and over a million people had set off, leaving roughly three to four thousand people in the plaza, Lin Zhen finally received the countdown notification to depart.

“Indeed, it’s quite underhanded. I hope upon my arrival, no one has already broken through the Nine Layers Tower. Otherwise, there would be no hope at all.”

The light in front of him flickered. The next moment, Lin Zhen appeared in a vast grassland.

In front of him, the green grass was lush, extending all the way to the horizon.

A special aura came from a far place diagonally opposite, marking the entrance to the next floor.

“Let’s start!”

Seeing such a vast map, Lin Zhen felt reassured, believing that he might still have a chance.

But before he could start running, a gust of wind attacked him from the side!

A Martial Artist had audaciously attacked him!

Lin Zhen slightly tilted his body, his palm struck the assailant on the chest like lightning, causing an explosion of Energy elements!

An energy ball detonated in the palm of his hand, instantly killing the Martial Artist!

The body dissipated into light spots in the air, the average Star System Stage was simply no match for Lin Zhen. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Lin Zhen was fully aware that there were bound to be battles here. However, he did not expect someone to take action against him so swiftly, their actions decisive, as though they had a specific purpose in mind.

As expected, the second assailant appeared shortly. Amidst the crowd, a Martial Artist brandishing a spear, its edge gleaming, lunged straight for Lin Zhen’s throat in a strike akin to a venomous snake!

Lin Zhen slightly furrowed his brows, extended his hand, and used a gravity pull to sidetrack the Martial Artist. He then extended a finger, shooting out a golden energy that pierced the assailant’s forehead, obliterating his brain matter.

Having just slain the second attacker, the third assailant’s sword was already threatening his back.

This was a virtual world, death meant nothing, so the attacker could assault Lin Zhen without restraint.

At this point, Lin Zhen was completely certain that the enemies had plotted against him. Within this last group of individuals, there might be countless attackers concealed, and if he got entangled, he would probably lose his chance.

The Yin-Yang Spear appeared, after blocking the attack he performed a swift thrust and eliminated the person.

Just as he had anticipated, the moment the third man died, the fourth one promptly followed.

These Martial Artists were all of average strength, but killing them one by one might consume too much time and the competition would be over by the time Lin Zhen finished killing them.

With a thought, Lin Zhen unleashed a Mental Shock that directly caused brain death in his attacker.

This attack was executed extremely fast, giving Lin Zhen a bit of time before the next opponent was ready to strike.

Retreating rapidly, Lin Zhen started running ahead furiously.

“Chase him! Don’t let him escape!”

“If he escapes, none of us can complete the mission. Attack, we must kill him here at all costs.”

Turns out, all these Martial Artists were arranged by the Wood King Mansion to assassinate Lin Zhen. Seeing Lin Zhen trying to escape, they all pursued him.

A hint of a cold smile appeared on the corner of Lin Zhen’s mouth, he accelerated, and soon behind him formed a long, narrow line of pursuers.

In a few more seconds, the enemy might scatter in a fan shape, he saw this as his last opportunity.

Retreating back suddenly, a dark aura hovered over Lin Zhen’s head; the Black Hole Beast manifested!

The creature’s gaping mouth opened wide, with a black hole inside that enveloped everyone!

“I don’t have time to play with you. If you dare touch me, go to hell!”

“Roar~~~!”

The appearance of the Black Hole revealed a Naked Singularity that exuded a strong gravitational pull.

Dark waves of deathly energy floated about, giving off the sensation that the sky had been torn open, rendering all men inconsequential in comparison.

Those with Star Power under 1.42 million cannot resist the Black Hole!

“Damn! It’s a Black Hole!”

“Run quickly, scatter!”

“What a pitfall! We were sent to deal with a Martial Artist who can create a Black Hole!”

These more than three thousand Star System Stage Martial Artists had never encountered such a scene. They screamed, trying to run away, but there was nowhere to escape.

The Black Hole spun, Death Ripples permeating everything living within sight. Any creature with below 1.4 million Star Power was powerless to resist.

There were no real experts among them. There were even some with only a few thousand Star Power. While most had a few tens of thousands, only a few possessed over a hundred thousand. However, in the face of Lin Zhen’s Black Hole, they were as insignificant as ants, not worth mentioning.

All of them, all consumed by the Black Hole within a second, only leaving a vast barren wasteland.

The Black Hole Beast opened its mouth, closed it, blowing out two streams of black smoke from its nostrils, then transformed back into Lin Zhen’s form.

Killing a group of Martial Artists in a single move, Lin Zhen didn’t even blink. Turning immediately, he ran with all his might.

He glanced at the running progress ranking in the virtual world. The current first place had reached the fourth layer, while he was the last of all participants.

Precisely one million people left in it, he was the one millionth.

“Chase!” Just as Lin Zhen accelerated fiercely, the scenery around him seemed to retreat rapidly, he dashed towards the entrance to the second layer!
