Chapter 1887: No One Can Match Him
If a person did not even have the courage to challenge a strong expert, then they were destined to be a coward for the rest of their life.
Similarly, if a cultivator did not have the guts to fight, then it was simply wishful thinking to want to go further on the path to the Great Dao!
At the moment, the participants were in high spirits and their blood was boiling. This scene naturally made many people feel a lot of emotions.
A strong cultivator should be like this!
Lin Xun was also very satisfied with this. He did not care about winning or losing. What he cared about was how much of the Great Dao he could see and experience.
Following that, fierce duels were staged on all eighteen arenas.
Some were evenly matched and brilliant.
Some were crushing and shocking.
Some were full of dangers and excitement.
Some...However, in Lin Xun’s arena, there was only one outcome.
That was, no matter who the opponent was, no matter what identity, no matter what power of the Great Dao they possessed, in the end, they were always defeated.
They either admitted defeat voluntarily or were beaten until they did.
Throughout this entire period, Lin Xun was as calm and composed as a mountain.
The feeling he gave people could be summarized in just one phrase: incredibly stable!
Time passed, and before long two hours had gone by.
The only experts who had persisted in the arenas and had never been defeated were Lin Xun, Chu Qiu, Zhuo Fengying, and Shi Long.
In other words, since the start of the first round of selections, the four of them had stayed the champions since they stepped onto the ring, defeating one enemy after another and persisting until now!
Among them, Chu Qiu's performance was expected by everyone because everyone knew what a brilliant figure Chu Qiu of Heavenly Tip Sect was.
Zhuo Fengying was a woman with a cold temperament like snow and an outstanding appearance. She was dressed in purple, had short hair, cheeks as white as fresh lychees, and a well-shaped nose.
She came from an ancient tribe in Cloud State, the Ancient Golden Crane Clan.
The spear Dao she mastered was as sharp as the wind and as illusory as a dream. It was truly superb, and no one had ever been able to defeat her.
Like Chu Qiu, Zhuo Fengying's performance was not surprising.
Shi Long was an older generation top expert who had been stuck in the early Supreme Saint-King Stage for six hundred years, and he was an elder of a second-rate force in Cloud State.
However, his performance in the first round of selections was shocking.
Even an expert in the advanced Supreme Saint-King Stage was defeated by him!
It was also at that time that Shi Long's true cultivation was exposed. It turned out that this older generation figure was already an advanced supreme Saint-King!
Unfortunately, Lin Xun had come out as a dark horse, so he covered up Shi Long's brilliance.
In any case, Shi Long was also considered a big shot in Cloud State, but Lin Xun was different. Before this, no one had ever heard of a person called Jin Duyi in Cloud State before.
Furthermore, no one had expected that both Gao Lingtian and Gu Jianxing would be defeated by him one by one!
The selection had come to this point.
Chu Qiu had won twenty-seven consecutive victories. His temples were slightly wet, his face was pale, and there were some bloody wounds on him. Other than that, he had not suffered any serious injuries.
Zhuo Fengying won twenty-four consecutive victories. In comparison, her injuries were more serious. Her face was pale and transparent, she was panting slightly, and there was a trace of fatigue on her face.
Shi Long won twenty-one consecutive victories. His situation was even more grim. One of his left arms had been blown up, and his whole body was covered with blood and wounds.
Everyone could tell that Shi Long wouldn’t be able to hold on for too long.
Lin Xun won twenty-three consecutive victories, but he was the only one who was still spotless and unscathed. His expression had not changed, and he was as calm as when he had started.
This surprised countless people. After all, Lin Xun had fought fiercely with Gu Jianxing and also battled Gao Lingtian. In comparison, his physical consumption should be greater than the others.
Despite all that, he was the only one who had never been injured!
"This Jin Duyi is so powerful that it is unreasonable..."
Tao Songting was completely shocked as he sighed. At this time, he couldn't help but accept the truth.
"Brother Tao, you can't compete with me. I set my eyes on Jin Duyi first. Sooner or later, he will become the disciple of my Cloud Star Sect,” Madam Yu said vigilantly.
Some other quasi-Emperors nearby were also tempted and had the idea of winning over Jin Duyi. If they could bring such a cultivator into their own forces, it would naturally be better.
However, after hearing what Madam Yu said, they couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Of note, Hong Yu knew that even Madam Yu might not win in the end... I'm afraid it would be difficult to achieve her wish!
Time passed bit by bit.
During this period, some experts stood out and won ten consecutive victories in other arenas, but most of them chose to stop fighting and didn't continue.
Although these experts caused quite a stir after obtaining ten consecutive victories, they could not compare with Lin Xun, Chu Qiu and the others.
The time it took to brew another cup of tea passed.
While fighting with his twenty-fourth opponent, Shi Long took the initiative to admit defeat because his injuries were extremely serious and his physical strength was on the verge of drying up.
His voluntary admission of defeat made many spectators breathe a sigh of relief and admire him.
For an old man to be able to fight until now was already a great feat!
Not long after Shi Long admitted defeat, on another stage, Zhuo Fengying took the initiative to give up after defeating her twenty-ninth opponent.
She did not lose. However, her physical strength could not support her to fight any longer.
Before leaving, she looked at Chu Qiu who was still fighting, and then glanced at Lin Xun who had not been injured in the distance. A trace of unwillingness surged in her heart.
Finally, she shook her head, sighed lightly, and turned away.
At this point, after winning ten consecutive games, the only two experts who still insisted on fighting in their respective arenas were Chu Qiu and Lin Xun!
Chu Qiu had won thirty-three games.
Lin Xun had won twenty-seven games.
Until this moment, the shock in the hearts of all the spectators could not be described in words.
It was really unexpected that such an exciting and shocking scene would be staged in the first round of selections.
Chu Qiu was as powerful as his reputation.
Jin Duyi was unexpectedly unbelievable.
"In the end, who will be defeated first?"
Everyone was nervously watching.
Even Tao Songting, Madam Yu, Hong Yu and the others focused their attention on the rings that belonged to those two.
...
"Just where did this e from?"
At this point, Chu Qiu was exhausted, but what made him unwilling to step down was that Lin Xun on the other ring had never been injured!
In contrast, he was already wounded, which was undoubtedly too depressing.
"I don't believe it!"
Chu Qiu's eyes were red, and he gritted his teeth and persisted.
This was the invisible competition between them. With Chu Qiu's spirit, how could he be willing to be surpassed by others?
The thirty-fourth round.
The thirty-fifth round.
What shocked the audicine was that Chu Qiu, who was already exhausted, had defeated another two opponents one after another.
His unyielding, tenacious, and tough fighting posture made countless experts tremble.
"Chu Qiu!"
"Chu Qiu!"
"Chu Qiu!"
No one knew who had begun to cheer for him, but it ignited the emotions of the audience, and they all shouted and cheered for him.
Gu Jianxing, who watched all this from afar, secretly clenched his fists.
Gao Lingtian, who had already won ten consecutive victories on another stage but did not continue to fight, could not help but feel annoyed. If he had known this would happen, should he have persisted?
Zhuo Fengying, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground and recovering from her injuries, felt complicated. Chu Qiu's performance made it difficult for her to be dissatisfied.
However, even with the thunderous cheers, Chu Qiu could not hold on.
A person’s stamina was limited!
At this moment, Chu Qiu had exploded and exhausted all his potential and drained all his strength. Before the thirty-seventh battle began, he felt dizzy and realized that he really couldn't fight anymore...
He resisted the fatigue and turned to walk off the arena.
When he accidentally saw Lin Xun fighting in an arena in the distance, he felt frustrated, powerless, and depressed.
This guy... Where did he come from...
Seeing Chu Qiu's figure walking down step by step, the cheers in the audience stopped abruptly, and everyone revealed complicated expressions.
Chu Qiu, after all, had left earlier than Jin Duyi...
This made people feel inexplicably disappointed.
Then, when people noticed Lin Xun, who was fighting on another stage, they were speechless and astonished again.
Because even now, he was still not injured!
Not even a piece of his clothes was torn!
Many people couldn't help but have the same thought in their minds. Is there a bottomless pit in this guy's body? Otherwise, how could his physical stamina be so strong?
Someone shouted, "Although Chu Qiu has voluntarily given up, it doesn't mean that he is not as good as Jin Duyi!"
"Yes, Chu Qiu won thirty-six fights in a row while Jin Duyi has only won thirty. The gap is still big. It depends on whether he can break Chu Qiu's record."
Many people nodded.
However, what made everyone feel incredulous was that in the following time, Jin Duyi, who was closely watched by them, still defeated challengers one after another just as he did before...
There were still no injuries.
In fact, there wasn’t even a sign that it was taking a lot of effort!
Later on, the voices of the whole audience disappeared, and all eyes were focused on Lin Xun, watching him conquer the arena like an unshakable mountain...
The thirty-fourth match, won.
The thirty-fifth match, won.
The thirty-sixth match, won!
When Lin Xun started to fight his thirty-seventh opponent, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time in the hearts of all the spectators in the arena burst out at this moment, and it was a complete sensation.
Because this already meant that he had broken Chu Qiu's record in the stadium!
"I didn't expect that this dark horse could surpass Chu Qiu. Does this mean that in the first round of selections, he can be called the well-deserved first place?" Tao Songting sighed.
Madam Yu took a deep breath and corrected him seriously, "No, it can only be regarded as the first place in the selections here in Fierce Wind City."
The first round of selections of Cloud State were not only held in Fierce Wind City, but also in many other areas within the state.
Even so, Madam Yu's admission was equivalent to recognizing Lin Xun's achievements in Fierce Wind Show Arena.
At least for now, it could be said that no one can match him!
