Chapter 232 - 232: 232: The Moment of Promotion (Six More Arrivals)

Lin Zhen had a massive Space Ring, and sometimes he would throw the spoils of war into it. After rummaging through it, he found a large bundle of ropes.

Picking up the liquid metal formed into a long knife, Lin Zhen started cutting bamboos to build a bamboo raft.

Only by making a large raft that those golden fish couldn’t swallow would he have a chance to cross the river.

After nearly two hours, a huge bamboo raft was finally made. When he checked the number of promotion spots left, there were less than two hundred. The total number of people in Heaven’s Garden was already below four thousand.

There were still many people fighting near the riverbank. This preliminary contest wouldn’t last until the end. Before the arrival of winter, those who should be promoted are likely to be promoted, while the rest would continue searching for Gemstone Fragments.

Lin Zhen pushed the massive bamboo raft and charged towards the riverbank, shouting as he ran, “Make way! Those who block the way will die!”

Some War Gods, whose eyes had already turned red for the gemstone fragments, didn’t care and rushed towards Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen tried to put the bamboo raft in the Space Ring but found that it was slightly too large to fit in.

With no other choice, he stood on the raft and fought with these desperate warriors.

Those who tried blocking his way were not formidable opponents. Most of the powerful fighters had already left, and these people could not pose a significant threat to Lin Zhen.

Continuous teleportation flights and dazzling spear glows, one after another, War Gods fell under Lin Zhen’s spear.

Even so, many more people kept pouring out of the bamboo forest by the riverbank. Seeing Lin Zhen surrounded by an incredibly dense treasure aura, they all charged at him with red eyes.

Lin Zhen simply didn’t have a chance to push the raft into the river, and could only engage in fierce combat with them by the riverbank.

In the outside world, people were staring at the big screen, anxiously awaiting the results.

“Congratulations to War God Holov from Russian Moscow for reaching the Garden Cottage and obtaining a promotion spot. There are currently 100 spots

left.’

Many people cheering for Holov shouted in joy. Their strongest contender had finally been promoted. He was sure to win the championship of this contest.

At this moment, those supporting Lin Zhen became worried. Why hadn’t Lin Zhen been promoted yet?

The scrolling text on the big screen continued to flash.

“War God Lin Zhen from Hua Xia Ice City’s Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall defeats

African Union War God XXX…”

“War God Lin Zhen from Hua Xia Ice City’s Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall defeats

Hua Xia War God XXX…”

“War God Lin Zhen from Hua Xia Ice City’s Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall defeats Indian War God XXX…”

This kind of text had appeared countless times. Lin Zhen was no longer ranked first on the Kill List, but after this series of mad slaughters, he had once again skyrocketed to the top and left everyone else far behind.

His current kill count had reached 180, with over a hundred killed during this period alone.

“Damn, this Lin Zhen is really crazy! Look how fierce he is in battle. If he continues like this, even if he doesn’t participate in the elimination round, he probably won’t be able to spend all the money he’s earned in his lifetime.”

“You don’t understand. Lin Zhen doesn’t lack money at all. He donated 30 billion yuan in the Capital in one go. He must have a lot of gemstone fragments on him right now.”

“I think Lin Zhen is in danger. No matter how many gemstone fragments he obtains, it’s such a pity if he can’t participate in the elimination round.”

“Of course. Although Lin Zhen isn’t a member of the Hall of Fame, his strength has proven that he deserves it. Any Martial Artist with strength wants to stand out in the elimination round. That’s the highlight that the whole world is watching. It doesn’t matter how many people he kills now.”

“Let me check, how many Hall of Fame members left in Heaven’s Garden haven’t been promoted yet?”

Some people started checking the number of Hall of Fame members inside the virtual world.

After checking, they found out that there were actually less than ten un-promoted Hall of Fame members in the virtual world.

Among them were Chris, War God from the EU’s Paris, Alice, War God from Europe and America’s Madrid, Su Saintess from Hua Xia’s God’s Grace Cathedral, and Kip, War God from Sand Russia’s Moscow Base City.

“How come these beauties haven’t been promoted yet? My Su Saintess is still there too?”

“Who knows? I’ve seen the promotional picture of Chris with the mask. I’m sure she’s a super beauty. And Alice is also a sexy goddess. Without these goddesses competing, the War God competition will be a lot less exciting.”

“I still hope to see Lin Zhen compete, but it seems like he might be running out of time.”

On the big screen, another person had been promoted, leaving only fifty spots left.

Inside the virtual world, there were no longer many people around Lin Zhen. “Who will still come?! Huh! Who will still come?!”

Lin Zhen swung his Tyrant Spear from left to right, scaring off the remaining dozen War Gods, who scattered to avoid him.

Seeing that they simply couldn’t deal with Lin Zhen, they finally gave up.

Only then did Lin Zhen finally find the opportunity to push the bamboo raft into the river.

However, just as he turned around in that instant, he heard a bang!

“Boom!”

Caught off guard, the bamboo raft had been quietly split by a single strike!

Lin Zhen was instantly infuriated. Turning around, he saw that it was Kip, the last surviving member of the Sand Russia’s Three Braves.

After his sneak attack, Kip immediately ran towards the bamboo forest in the distance, laughing as he ran, “Lin Zhen, come chase me, and you won’t be able to get promoted! Then, I’ll have avenged my two brothers.”

As a natural-born Divine Speedster, Kip ran very fast. Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided not to pursue him, prioritizing the bigger picture instead.

“Even with a broken bamboo raft, one can still cross the river.”

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the liquid metal turned into several hooks, managing to connect the two halves of the bamboo raft together.

Lin Zhen didn’t care about others anymore, pushing the bamboo raft into the water and began to cross the river.

Kip peered out from the bamboo grove, seeing Lin Zhen actually being able to go on the water like this, snorted coldly: “Getting promoted won’t be that easy. I also have a bamboo raft. Let’s see how I play with you in the river.”

Lin Zhen went into the water, although the bamboo raft barely worked, but Lin Zhen originally planned to use the liquid metal as an oar, and now he could only find two shields to use as oars, unavoidably slowing down his speed.

Occasionally looking at the system, more people were promoted, and only twenty spots were left.

“This is bad, I might have played too much this time, that damn Russian, trying to trap me at the last moment.”

Desperately using the shield to paddle, the bamboo raft still moved leisurely towards the opposite bank.

As Lin Zhen struggled to move forward, Kip actually rode on another bamboo raft, cleaving through the waves and rushing past him.

Kip’s bamboo raft was about 150 meters away from Lin Zhen, out of the range of Lin Zhen’s teleportation. He looked back and laughed as he passed Lin Zhen’s raft: “Lin Zhen, bye-bye, there are a few spots left. I guess I can get one, but you’re in a pinch. Hahaha!”

Seeing him, Lin Zhen revealed a hint of a smile: “Really? But I think I still have hope.”

“Forget it, with your broken bamboo raft, as slow as a crawling turtle, just give up.”

Lin Zhen raised his hand to remove the liquid metal, and the bamboo raft split in half.

Underneath the water, waves surged, and a golden fish burst out.

Lin Zhen’s body soared into the air, taking advantage of the momentum from the golden fish to leap thirty meters closer to Wei Li’s bamboo raft.

Kip was startled and hurriedly tried to speed up and leave. Lin Zhen teleported again, closing the distance by another hundred meters.

Another golden fish jumped out of the water, biting at Lin Zhen in the air.

With liquid metal in his hand, he turned it into a hook and caught a bamboo raft over ten meters away. Dodging the golden fish by pulling and pushing, Lin Zhen’s body landed on the bamboo raft.

“Now I’d like to trade boats with you, I wonder if that’s possible?” Lin Zhen smiled and looked at Kip. “I….” Kip was a bit dumbfounded.

“Get lost!”

With a swipe of the liquid metal, Kip was eliminated by Lin Zhen.

At this point, all three of the Sand Russian warriors who had once insulted Lin Zhen were personally eliminated by Lin Zhen!

Meanwhile, someone was anxiously waiting in the Garden Cottage.

Su Mingyue paced anxiously in front of a seat.

She had arrived early, but she couldn’t be at ease until she saw Lin Zhen. She claimed a spot for him, and no one else could have it. If Lin Zhen arrived last ana tnere were no more spots, sne WOUICI save tms one ror mm. As she anxiously waited, a woman wearing black armor walked up to Su Mingyue.

Su Mingyue looked up at the woman, and by a woman’s intuition, she knew that she was an exceptional woman who had come straight for her.

Watching her warily, Su Mingyue said: “This seat is taken.”

The woman nodded: “I know, it’s reserved for Lin Zhen, isn’t it?”

Su Mingyue was stunned: “How do you know?”

“Of course I know, the Divine Sect Saintess may be revered by thousands, but in the end, she’s just a naive girl.”

Su Mingyue didn’t quite understand her meaning, tilting her head as she watched her.

“Hehe, a truly pitiful sweetheart, no wonder Lin Zhen likes you. But I think you can change your approach,” said the woman in front of her.

“What approach?”

“Why do you stubbornly hold onto a seat when you don’t need to? Just take out everyone who comes in, and that way you can save a spot for Lin Zhen, right?”

Su Mingyue paused for a moment, shook her head slightly: “That’s not fair to others. ”

“Silly girl, as long as you and your sweetheart can be promoted smoothly, who cares if it’s fair to others?”

Su Mingyue still lowered her head slightly: “I don’t want to do that. Besides, I believe Lin Zhen will come before the end. He always has been able to… ”

“Fine, fine! I give up on you silly girl. Alright, I’ll wait with you. Alice, come over and take your seat. Let’s wait together.”

Alice walked over and sat next to Chris, glancing at Su Mingyue: “Su Saintess, you’re so beautiful, I actually really like you.”

“Um… thank you,” Su Mingyue replied politely.

The three of them were the only remaining members of the Hall of Fame, occupying three spots without anyone daring to say anything. When others entered, they could only advance to the back positions.

People entered one by one, advanced, disappeared, and the seats became scarce. Excluding their three spots, there were now only five left..
