852 Chapter 855: First Kill! _1
"Extra! Extra! Lin Zhen, Baihu Hall's two-star gladiator, is wreaking havoc in the virtual battlefield, raising high the flag to challenge everyone!"
"Fresh off the grill comes history's most arrogant gladiator, the most arrogant ever, without a doubt! Attention! There's none more arrogant!"
"Click the link to access the battle video, Lin Zhen's invisible sword insta-kills divine sense expert, impossible to guard against."
"Live broadcast, Lin Zhen steps up the pressure, hundreds of gladiators are retreating by the round, recharge hundred yuan to enjoy VIP honor!"
"The biggest suspense in the virtual battlefield has been born, who will be the terminator of the Baihu Hall martial artist Lin Zhen, cash-prize prediction starts now."
Article after article filled with exaggerated language, conjuring up eye-catching video titles.
And Lin Zhen's name was trending for the first time in Tianfang City.
Tianfang City's residents, who never knew who Lin Zhen was, began to click on videos to watch his combat footage.
But once they watched, the controversy arose.
Many rational martial artists believed Lin Zhen was courting death. A Three Flowers Stage martial artist, no matter how exceptional the talent or extraordinary the prowess, there has to be a limit.
You can insta-kill Three Flowers and defeat Divine Sense, but isn't that the end? What about when you meet a genius at the same Divine Sense Stage?
What about when you encounter an expert at the God Realm Stage?
What about a genius at the God Realm Stage?
Surely you wouldn't even know how you died.
Immediately, people voiced their opinions. If they were Lin Zhen, with this strength, they would keep a low profile and quietly make a fortune. It might even be possible to make it into the top ten thousand. But like this, once exposed to public scrutiny, he will undoubtedly be eliminated.
Because Lin Zhen's behavior of eliminating everyone he meets is too arrogant. Everyone in the virtual battlefield is very cautious. Who raises their flag like he does? Ordinary martial artists lack the strength to eliminate him, but the top gladiators of the three major arenas will certainly not let him go.
If Lin Zhen were allowed to keep that arrogant streak until he reached the mountain peak, where would the other gladiators put their faces?
This kind of opinion occupies the majority, but there are also differing opinions.
Quite a few martial artists support Lin Zhen.
They believe that once a martial artist reaches a certain level in their training, if they hesitate and act cautiously, they will never achieve greatness, their potential will be limited.
Pursuing one's heart is not easy, because martial artists are also human. They have concerns and cannot fully let go.
Obviously, in their eyes, although Lin Zhen's strength is not enough to dominate the virtual battlefield, he dares to do so. This is very rare. So, there are quite a few people who support Lin Zhen.
Some are purely attracted by Lin Zhen's cool and gallant behavior. They admire him for doing things many people want yet dare not do and become fervent fans of Lin Zhen.
"Lin Zhen, for your actions today, even if you get eliminated, I'll always bet on you to win in the gladiator ring!"
Many more people are silently watching, wanting to see how far Lin Zhen can go.
In their view, if Lin Zhen succeeds, he will surely become highly popular; if he is eliminated, he will just be a fool.
Winner takes all, loser is relegated to servitude. This overarching truth cannot be overturned.

As time passed, the first high tide on the island was about to arrive.
Although it's a virtual environment's tide, it's much more terrifying than real tides.
The massive waves can't be described as overwhelming; it's more like the world is falling apart!
A gust of wind blew in from the sea, and a wave a kilometer high roared between heaven and earth.
The turbulent waves completely obstructed the view, like a swiftly advancing mountain, instantly flooded the beach and started advancing towards the foot of the mountain.
Lin Zhen glanced at the quickly approaching wave and said to Kressman beside him, "Go, let's break through!"
At this point, Kressman had no doubts about Lin Zhen. Although there were still more than thirty martial artists blocking their way, he believed Lin Zhen could defeat them.
Raising the flag in his hand, the two of them rushed forward.
"Stop him! Don't let him get through!"
"As long as we guard this line, he will be swallowed by the tide. Everyone might get a reward then."
Being a gladiator means being brave and aggressive. These people who were blocking Lin Zhen's path planned to trap Lin Zhen under the tide.
Lin Zhen flicked his hand, the twin swords changed into Landis's spear, and he launched the Constant Star Fall strike!
In front of the wave, the huge Constant Star rapidly rushed forward with a rumble.
"There's nothing great about it, everyone strike together, and blast it back!"
Dozens of people acted together to confront Lin Zhen's strike.
Rumble~~~!!!
A huge fireball blossomed above the island.
The Constant Star exploded!
Like the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, the entire mountain seemed to shake, and a mushroom cloud rose at the point of contact in the distance.
The massive heat wave formed by the explosion swept everything, creating a vacuum within a hundred-meter radius.
"Move!"
Lin Zhen's body became a streak of light, quickly running up the mountain, Kressman's escape speed was also quick. For now, he didn't have the time to be astonished by the destructive force of Lin Zhen's move, so he followed closely, holding his flag up high.
They passed over the area where the mushroom cloud had risen, without any hindrance, the road was clear all the way.
Splash~~!!
The tidal wave came crashing, the silvery beach and buffer zone below vanished, the sea level rose by a thousand meters.
Everything below sea level disappeared at that moment, only the endless seawater was left, gradually calming down.
Kressman stopped, looked back at the seawater and then looked at Lin Zhen as if he was a monster.
But Lin Zhen seemed unaffected, sheathed his spear and walked slowly forward: "Let's go, this is just an appetizer. More formidable enemies are sure to block my path ahead. I still have fights to fight."
In everyone's Dimensional Universe, they could see the general situation of this virtual battlefield, such as the remaining number of people.
In addition to the remaining number, there was also a Kill Ranking, recording the person who killed the most opponents.
The first group had so many people, and they were all pursuing speed at this time, so the chances of encountering each other were great, and fights often broke out between them.
08:53
The number of people who entered the virtual battlefield was 500,000, and after the first round of fighting, about 30,000 people were eliminated. But when the first tidal wave hit, many people were unprepared, and 70,000 to 80,000 people were swallowed by the wave.
Now, there were only 370,000 people left on the whole battlefield.
Many of them had already climbed to heights close to 2,000 meters, forming the first group.
The first group had so many people, and they were all pursuing speed at this time, so the chances of encountering each other were great, and fights often broke out between them.
Just before Lin Zhen launched the Starburst, the first person on the Kill Ranking was Fu Qingfeng from the White Tiger Hall.
*********
On the steep mountain wall, a swordsman with a sword on his back was advancing rapidly. This was Fu Qingfeng from the White Tiger Hall, the apprentice of the Hall of Fame strong Xiao Cangsheng, now the ace gladiator of the White Tiger Hall's arena.
He turned his head back and could even see the tidal wave about to hit from below.
A gaunt martial artist was rapidly climbing up the mountain like a monkey on his left side.
Fu Qingfeng, whose name sounds rather poetic, was extremely cruel and cold-blooded. He held a vine on the mountain wall and swung towards the martial artist.
When this martial artist from the Speed Dragon Cavalry saw Fu Qingfeng attack, he exclaimed in terror: "Fu Qingfeng, can't we coexist peacefully and go forward together?"
"Sorry about that, I don't like being disturbed."
Clang~~!!
With a flash of sword light, the thin martial artist fell, his head rolling on the ground, and was eliminated.
"That's the twenty-eighth one, my first place on the Kill Ranking is now a lot more secure. This time, not only do I want to advance to the eye of the storm, but I also want to do so strongly. Nobody can surpass me, or I would tarnish the reputation of my master, the Hall of Fame strong."
The first wave hit below, Fu Qingfeng also let out a small sigh of relief and took a rest for a while, looking somewhat pleased as he glanced at the Kill Ranking.
"Huh... What?!"
His pupils dilated suddenly because he saw Lin Zhen, who had previously been almost neck and neck with him in rankings, suddenly jump to the first place, with a total kill count reaching sixty-two!
"Lin Zhen... This guy must have been below, taking advantage of the opportunity when those rookies were surrounding him to start a massacre."
"Damn it, he actually dared to surpass me. No, I absolutely will not allow this to happen."
Fu Qingfeng stopped and waited in place for a while, a robust gladiator climbed up.
"Boss, why did you stop? You should know that Chen Yuan from the San Xia Association and Xi Erman from the Speed Dragon Cavalry will not stop."
"I was waiting for you." Fu Qingfeng looked at this martial artist. He was his right-hand man, one of the Four Winds, Bai Yunfei.
"What does the boss want?"
"You don't have to climb any further, go back down and take care of somebody for me."
"Who?"
"You should be familiar with him, Lin Zhen, the one San Hu informed us about."
Bai Yunfei was stunned for a moment, then he glanced at the Kill Ranking, and immediately understood Fu Qingfeng's intentions.
"Boss, I can take care of Lin Zhen no problem, but I'm afraid this will delay the progress of climbing. If I can't get into the top ten thousand...."
Fu Qingfeng said indifferently: "You don't have to worry about that. You'll definitely get a place in the top ten thousand. I will continue to climb at this speed. After reaching the top, I can let anyone who comes up fall at any time. As long as I want, the number of people at the top will never reach ten thousand."
Upon hearing Fu Qingfeng's assurance, Bai Yunfei was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss! I'll go back right away. For this upstart clown, Lin Zhen, I will show him what the power of the God Realm Stage is like."
"Go quickly and come back quickly. If you encounter any of the other three people, you can join forces with them. Lin Zhen is probably not that easy to deal with."
"Don't worry, boss. No matter how difficult he is to deal with, he's just a Three Flowers. Can he overturn the heavens?"
Bai Yunfei answered carelessly, turned around, and jumped down.
A leap of tens of meters, landed on a protruding rock, then jumped onto another rock, and soon he was down.

After giving his orders, Fu Qingfeng turned around and continued to climb towards the top of the mountain.
"I must get to the first place, I must succeed. I am a future member of the Endless Battlefield Hall of Fame. How can I be surpassed by some upstart kid? Nobody is allowed to do so!"
