Chapter 451 - 433: Effortless Advancement

Chapter 451: Chapter 433: Effortless Advancement

Watanabe was a Martial Arts genius from Japan.

He was a senior in college, and in just a few more months, he would graduate and step onto the battlefield.

He was an A-level genius. Barring the Awakened and S-class geniuses, he was in the strongest tier.

His strength had already reached the Peak of the Fifth Realm, and he was only a single step away from the Sixth Realm.

In the first round of the preliminaries, he could walk all over his competition; it would be almost impossible to encounter a Sixth Realm existence.

"What I love most is killing experts from your Xia Country."

"Last year, I was eliminated by one of your Xia Country contestants."

"Today, I’ll get my revenge!"

Watanabe roared, his agile figure swiftly swinging the Sharp Sword in his hand. In an instant, he seemed to transform into a gust of wind.

In the Japan district, many of the senior-year geniuses also saw this scene.

They all broke into smiles:

"This Xia Country contestant is screwed. No, I should say all of Xia Country’s contestants are screwed."

"Watanabe’s grudge against Xia Country runs deep. He’ll go after their contestants like a madman."

In their eyes, Lin Qi was a dead man.

But in the Xia Country District, Wan Ming, Jiangtao, and the others revealed amused smiles.

"This little dwarf from Japan... he not only didn’t run after meeting Brother Qi, but he actually dares to attack him?"

"What an overconfident clown!!"

...

On the desolate land before the Steel Great Wall, the other contestants felt the tyrannical aura coming from Watanabe and immediately turned to flee.

WHOOSH!!

Lin Qi felt a sharp gale approaching.

A powerful sharpness was closing in as a flash of sword light stabbed toward his neck.

SWOOSH~

In that instant, Lin Qi moved. Like Lightning arcing through the air, he vanished and reappeared a short distance away.

The Top Level Longsword stabbed through empty air.

Watanabe’s attack missed. The smile on his face instantly froze, replaced by a look of disbelief.

PFFT~

In the next moment, Lin Qi spun and swung the Big Gun in his hand. The Long Spear shot out, its sharp tip vibrating as it instantly pierced Watanabe’s neck, sending blood splattering.

Watanabe only saw an afterimage before a sharp pain shot through his neck. Then he was dead, dissolving into the Void.

In less than a second, Watanabe, an A-level genius of the Fifth Realm of Refining Inner Organs, was killed by Lin Qi.

He had the strength to enter the main competition.

Yet now he had fallen in the first round of the preliminaries. And since the Global Martial Arts Tournament had no revival rounds, he was now completely eliminated.

The contestants from other countries who witnessed this were stunned.

In that brief moment, none of them had even seen how Lin Qi attacked, yet Watanabe was dead.

’This is a Top Level expert! Unbeatable!’

In the audience stands, Watanabe was teleported back.

His face was exceptionally grim, his composure completely shattered.

He hadn’t even passed the first round of the preliminaries. The gazes from those around him were filled with a mixture of pity and schadenfreude.

"Who is that guy? Why is he so strong?"

Someone asked in confusion.

"He was the champion of last year’s Global Freshman Tournament."

A girl spoke up from nearby. It was Moriyama Ayane, who had once been killed by Lin Qi in the preliminaries.

If it hadn’t been for the revival round, she would have been completely eliminated too.

"So you’re saying he’s only a sophomore? How can he be so strong?" someone asked, perplexed.

No one around them could provide an answer.

...

A large screen was projected above the Steel Great Wall, displaying the number of surviving contestants in real-time.

Less than three minutes after the battle began, all the contestants were swarmed by Calamity Beasts.

The number of contestants was dropping rapidly. They not only had to face the Calamity Beasts but also be on guard against other contestants.

But once they were facing the Calamity Beasts, the contestants had no opportunity to attack each other.

The sheer number of Calamity Beasts was just too overwhelming.

Low Realm Martial Artists were nothing but cannon fodder against Level 5 and Level 6 Calamity Beasts.

They couldn’t withstand the immense damage from a single casual swipe.

ROAR~

BAM! BAM!!

One contestant was struck by the claw of a Split Claw Ape and instantly dissolved into a pulp of flesh.

Another was sent flying by the palm of a massive, ten-meter-tall Iron-Backed War Ape, smashing into the ground and creating a crater before dissipating.

"What kind of Disaster Beast Tide is this? How can there be Level 6 Calamity Beasts?"

"How are we supposed to fight them?"

A genius participating in the Global Martial Arts Tournament for the first time cried out in fear.

The next second, he was caught in the massive jaws of a Fifth-Level Calamity Beast, a Blood Fury Giant Wolf, and dissolved into the Void.

In just a few short minutes, over ten thousand contestants had been killed.

But some geniuses also displayed immense power. They were all Martial Artists of the Fifth Realm, or even the Sixth Realm.

Once they unleashed their strength, the surrounding Calamity Beasts were theirs for the slaughter, and one Low-Level Calamity Beast after another was frantically killed.

The geniuses quickly distinguished themselves, making the other Martial Artists around them not dare to provoke them.

And Lin Qi was, naturally, one of them.

SWISH! SWISH! SWISH!!

PFFT~ PFFT~

Lin Qi brandished his Black Great Spear, weaving between the Calamity Beasts. His Long Spear stabbed out relentlessly, as fluid and ceaseless as a flowing river.

Flowing Water Stab!

In a single second, he could execute three hundred stabs.

None of the surrounding Calamity Beasts could withstand a single thrust from him.

BAM! BAM! BAM!!

The surrounding Calamity Beasts fell one after another, blood spraying everywhere. The other nearby contestants were dumbfounded by the sight.

ROAR~

AWOOO~

An agile, five-meter-tall Blood Fury Giant Wolf charged out.

Its thick claws slammed into the ground, kicking up dust as it leaped into the air to pounce.

Lin Qi felt a foul, stinking wind rush toward him.

Lin Qi transformed into black Lightning and leaped high into the air. He swung his Big Gun forcefully, cutting through the air and stirring up a powerful gust.

PFFT~

The Big Gun carved a graceful arc through the air, easily tearing through the Blood Fury Giant Wolf’s neck—its weak point.

Blood scattered through the air like snowflakes.

BANG!

A Fifth-Level Calamity Beast was killed by him with ease!

A massive Iron-Backed War Bear, as enormous and imposing as a small hill, also came roaring and charging over.

RUMBLE!!

The ground trembled as the Iron-Spine War Bear charged forth, like an armored vehicle speeding down a highway.

In Lin Qi’s eyes, the Iron-Backed War Bear’s movements began to slow down.

He stood his ground, waiting for the right moment. Then, he suddenly exerted his strength and leaped high.

BAM!

Two footprints were left in the ground as he jumped, raising his Black Great Spear high and bringing it down with the full force of his body.

BOOM!!

With a heavy crash, the Big Gun slammed down on the Iron-Backed War Bear’s head. A terrifying Golden Strength surged from his body like a raging tide.

CRACK!

It violently shattered the Iron-Backed War Bear’s skull.

THUD!

ROAR!

Amidst a final roar, the Iron-Backed War Bear’s massive body crashed to the ground.

He was no longer the Martial Artist who had just broken through to the Fifth Realm.

To him, even a Sixth-Level Calamity Beast was something he could kill with ease.

Many contestants in the distance saw this scene.

"My God!!"

"He can even kill a Sixth-Level Calamity Beast that easily."

"That was a Sixth-Level Calamity Beast, an Iron-Backed War Bear with unparalleled strength!"

"He must be a Top Level genius from Xia Country!"

In the Japan district, Watanabe’s eyes went wide with disbelief when he saw this.

He was filled with endless regret. ’How did I run into a Top Level expert like that?’

’He can kill a Sixth-Level Calamity Beast... No wonder he killed me so easily.’
