Chapter 203: Top Ten

Swoosh.

Bai Xu opened his eyes and looked around at the martial artists, who were as confused as him. They were all eliminated martial artists, and Bai Xu was one of them now.

“I was actually eliminated.”

Bai Xu felt a little bitter. The moment Lin Feng’s Void Bubble collapsed, he had felt pain. The simulative Virtual Combat System had also simulated pain.

He could clearly feel his body disintegrate in an instant. The intense pain was bone-deep. Even though it was only for a brief moment, it was unforgettable.

Perhaps the martial artists he had pulled into the illusions had also experienced such pain, or even greater pain.

“Lin Feng…”

Bai Xu saw the figure on the screen. The one who eliminated him was Lin Feng, a martial artist he had thought was no threat at all. However, he had lost, and lost so dreadfully and ironically.

He could even imagine the unbridled laughter of the Bai family at this moment.

“They must be so smug. They must be so smug while mocking my failure with abandon!”

Bai Xu clenched his fists tightly. He could accept defeat. He could accept any blow. But he could not tolerate the way the Bai family mocked him. He could not tolerate losing face before the Bai family.

And now, the Bai family must be watching this martial arts competition that was being broadcast live worldwide. It was equivalent to him being defeated before the Bai family, as if he had been humiliated by them.

Bai Xu clenched his fists tightly, his heart twisting.

The Divine Realm martial artists of the Freelance Cultivators Union and some Meta-divine martial artists who were paying attention to Bai Xu all shook their heads. They could all tell that Bai Xu actually had a huge flaw in his heart, and that flaw was the Bai family!

If Bai Xu could not put it behind him and resolve his mental weakness, he would never be able to undergo a second life transition.

Lin Feng had defeated Bai Xu and become the true dark horse!

Even the distinguished Griman, who had been ranked first from the beginning, noticed Lin Feng.

Every martial artist in the Virtual Combat System was not completely unaware of the situation outside. On the contrary, they could also see the martial artists ranked in the top 100.

Although Griman was ranked first, there weren’t many people who paid attention to him. This was because of his age. He was a martial artist from the Holy Capital Academy. Back then, he was considered one of the Three Greats alongside Dongfang Sheng from the Myriad Academy and Lu Chen from the Polar Academy.

They were the top geniuses of the three major martial academies.

But in the present time, forget about comparing to Dongfang Sheng, even compared to Lu Chen, Griman was far inferior. Ten years ago, Lu Chen had finally undergone the second life transition and reached the Divine Realm. Dongfang Sheng had also undergone three life transitions not long ago and entered the Meta-divine Realm.

As for him, Griman? He was still stuck at the Metamorphic Realm and unable to advance. Now, he still had to compete for the rankings in the Martial Arts Competition with these Metamorphic Realm martial artists in their twenties. To the proud Griman, this in itself was a humiliation!

Although Griman was stuck in the Metamorphic Realm, he was indeed very strong. He was consistently ranked first, and there was a huge gap between him and the second and third places.

As Lin Feng steadily improved, he got closer and closer to the top ten. Even Griman felt some threat from it. However, he had his pride. Even if he was inferior to Dongfang Sheng and Lu Chen, he would not lose to anyone among these young martial artists.

Lin Feng did not know that Griman had already noticed him. After he defeated Bai Xu, his ranking rose by one, ranking 37th. Although the next few martial artists were at the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm, who could match Lin Feng in a single exchange?

Hence, almost every time Lin Feng defeated a martial artist, his ranking would increase by a little. The gap between the top 50 rankings was actually very small, and some were only one or two matches apart.

From the beginning until now, Lin Feng had used the Void Bubble and ended battles swiftly. Actually, this could only be done through the Virtual Combat System, because as long as he defeated his opponent, his Astral Power would recover instantly in the next round.

If this were an actual battle, Lin Feng would not use the Void Bubble so recklessly. That would consume a lot of Astral Power. At that time, it would depend on the skillful use of Astral Power, durability, and some innate abilities.

Overall, there was still a slight difference between the Virtual Combat System and actual combat, but it was not much.

In a real fight to the death, Lin Feng would give it his all and use the Void Bubble. If one could not withstand it in the Virtual Combat System, how could they withstand it in reality?

Fifty-three matches, fifty-four matches, fifty-five matches…

Lin Feng’s ranking rose steadily. By the 60th match, he was already ranked 10th!

The gap between the 10th place and the 50th place was just too small. Many martial artists’ winning streaks were even tied. Often, one or two victories could increase the ranking by a lot.

Similarly, the gap between the tenth place and second place was relatively small. Only the first place already had a winning streak of 88 matches by now. The gap was relatively large.

“Griman!”

Lin Feng naturally noticed Griman, who was temporarily ranked first. Just like Lin Feng, Griman had almost never encountered his match. Of course, this was also because Griman had never encountered any heavyweight opponents. However, Lin Feng had defeated Bai Xu, who actually had the strength to enter the top 20, or even the top 10.

Right now, most of the people were paying attention to Lin Feng. They wanted to see how far Lin Feng, the greatest dark horse, could go in the end.

Would he stop at the top ten?

It had to be known that the current top ten were all very strong. Basically, these ten people were likely to be the final top ten.

The audience naturally wanted to see these ten people meet, but in reality, these ten people knew very well that the chances of the ten people meeting in the elimination rounds were minuscule.

This could also be considered an “unspoken rule” of the Virtual Combat System. Otherwise, once an intense encounter occurred, someone would eventually be eliminated, giving those who were weaker a chance.

That would be true unfairness.

“Sixty-three rounds!”

“Lin Feng is so strong. Is he already ranked ninth?”

“Haha, 64 battles. No, 65 battles. That’s too fast.”

“He’s already ranked eighth. Did you guys notice? From the beginning to the end, Lin Feng has only used the Void Bubble back and forth. He hasn’t used any other methods, but no one can crack it.”

Many people were paying attention to Lin Feng. They watched Lin Feng advance at a very stable speed, and his ranking also rose steadily. One by one, they had become Lin Feng’s supporters.

Sixty-six matches, sixty-eight matches, seventy matches, seventy-three matches…

Everyone was nervous. In the blink of an eye, Lin Feng had already won 80 consecutive matches. In fact, the 80 matches had already allowed Lin Feng to climb to the second place.

At this moment, the first place, Griman, had already won 91 matches in a row. There was only a gap of 11 matches between them. Moreover, Lin Feng’s speed of catching up was astonishing.
