Chapter 83: Chapter 83: The Great Victory
Translator: 549690339
Upon seeing Lin Zhen’s downward thrust, plain and ordinary without the earlier rain of spear lights, Ivan immediately changed his mind.
Of course, it would be best to kill Lin Zhen without harming himself. After all, Lin Zhen was holding his spear single-handedly, how much power could this move have?
With his left-hand claw blocking and his right hand continuously stabbing towards Lin Zhen’s heart, Ivan was confident that this move would end the battle.
Upon seeing Lin Zhen’s spear strike, three people in the room instantly perceived the difference.
These three people were Dongfang Jun, Lu Ming, and Yang Jianying. Even Tong Yuehu, the Fifth-level War God, did not immediately sense something was wrong.
Dongfang Jun and Lu Ming almost simultaneously stood up from their seats.
Although they were amazed by Lin Zhen’s storm-like spear technique, they were not as astounded as they were now.
Dongfang Jun murmured: “There’s something about this spear strike!”
Lu Ming said involuntarily: “The battle is probably about to end, Dongfang. When we were at their age, we didn’t seem to have Lin Zhen’s strength, did we?”
Dongfang Jun faintly shook his head: “No, it wasn’t that we didn’t have it, it’s that we were far from it. This kid….”
The underwhelming spear attack finally changed just as it was about to make contact with Ivan’s iron claw.
There was a curved arc of electricity that tore through the Black Dragon Spear and in a split second, Lin Zhen’s spear transformed into a river falling from the sky!
No! It was not a river, but a waterfall plummeting straight down!
With each spear strike, the overwhelming momentum came down from the sky, and even the spectators below the stage could feel the unstoppable force of this spear at this moment.
The spear began to rotate, and a burst of electricity accompanied by the sharpness of the metal came pouring down, hitting Ivan’s blocking left arm right in the center.
Ivan’s previously abundant confidence collapsed at this moment. The only thing he could do now was to extend his right hand as far as he could, hoping to deliver a fatal blow to Lin Zhen before his death. It was already a luxury to hope for mutual destruction.
“Crack! ”
A luxury is a luxury. The spear hit like a thousand-pound hammer coming straight down. Ivan’s arm and iron claw were destroyed by Lin Zhen’s spear strike. The spear hit Ivan’s shoulder, sending his whole body reeling. Using inertia, he staggered forward a few steps. But by the time he reached Lin Zhen, his iron claw was only ten centimeters from Lin Zhen’s heart; he could no longer stand.
He stretched out his hand again and again, but always fell short of the last bit. All his strength dissipated from his body at this moment. His knees gave out, and Ivan fell to the ground.
With his body on the ground, Ivan turned his head to face Nelov, who was struggling to hold onto Lin Zhen’s ankle with his last breath, and whispered, “Brother… I’m sorry… I’ve tried my best.”
With that, his head tilted and Ivan died on the spot. Half of his skeleton was completely shattered by Lin Zhen’s single spear strike, and his internal organs were reduced to mush. It was amazing that he could utter such last words.
Lin Zhen did not even glance at the fallen Ivan, but turned his gaze to the still alive Nelov.
“What a pity, you guys were so close to succeeding. But things in the world always go so unfavorably. If there’s an afterlife, remember not to mess around in Hua Xia, or you’ll die very ugly!”
Seeing his companions dying horrendously and himself being powerless, Nelov was finally filled with fear.
“Help….help me….l don’t want to die.”
“Unfortunately, when you stepped onto this ring, your fate was already sealed. Besides, I’m not someone who forgives opponents. You’d better follow your companions.”
Lin Zhen shook off Nelov’s hand and swung his spear. The tip of the spear swept across Nelov’s throat.
A rush of blood soared once again, and Nelov no longer made a sound. His massive body dropped onto the ring, going to meet his two companions below.
Thus, the Russian trio was entirely wiped out, all killed on the ring of the Gale Martial Arts Hall.
The hall of Gale Martial Arts Hall fell into silence, everyone’s eyes were fixed on Lin Zhen standing in the arena, overwhelmingly silent.
This situation came too abruptly. Everyone thought that the martial arts halls of Ice City had been destroyed. However, Lin Zhen came out of nowhere, turning the tide. Despite everyone’s lack of confidence, he took the stage to fight one against three.
Having witnessed the strength of the Russian trio, almost everyone reckoned that Lin Zhen was too arrogant. It would be good if he could win one-on-one; he would be lucky if he could win the fights in rotation, and yet he wanted to fight one against three.
But Lin Zhen won, and winning means everything. Besides, he won cleanly and beautifully, silencing all those who had doubted him at the same time.
The first to react was the Internet, where countless people were posting celebrations.
According to incomplete statistics, the posts within these five minutes were thirty times that of the same period in the past! It even caused the martial artists’ forum to fall into a paralyzed state momentarily.
If anyone dared to slander Lin Zhen at this time, it wouldn’t be surprising to see them ostracized, especially since a real-name policy was in place.
The martial artists in the hall also reacted. The fight was too shocking, making them stunned for a while and reflecting on it. When the first person stood up and started to clap, an intense round of applause erupted from the audience, and more and more people began to clap. Eventually, everyone stood up and clapped, and the applause thundered.
“Oh! He won!”
“Good job, Lin Zhen!”
“Awesome, Lin, you’ve made us Hua Xia people proud!”
“The clowns of Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall have finally met their match. Haha, they deserved it!”
“Gale is indeed Gale. Hua Xia’s No.l Martial Arts Hall is indeed the top. The people they produced are all commendable. Looking at Lin Zhen, I see the bright future of Ice City’s Base City!” “Lin Zhen, I love you! Lin Zhen, I want to marry you!”
“Dude, seems like you’re a man, right?”
“A man… Oh! Yes, I am, but it doesn’t matter if I am. If Lin Zhen doesn’t mind, I dare to be gay with him!”
“Shameless! We girls don’t have a chance yet, and you, a fatso, fancy being gay with Lin Zhen. Keep dreaming!”
Lin Zhen swirled his Black Dragon Spear into a whirl of blossoms and after cleaning off the blood stuck to it, he put it back into his Space Ring. He then leaped down from the stage and walked lightly toward Dongfang Jun and Lu Ming.
It was only when he got to Dongfang Jun and Lu Ming that Lin Zhen showed a smile. “Leader, Mayor Lu, mission accomplished. I won.”
Lu Ming laughed heartily: “Lin Zhen, well done! You’ve made us proud in Ice City, and proud as Hua Xia people. I haven’t felt so relieved in years. Here, take this. It’s the meteorite transaction permit, valid all across Hua Xia.”
Dongfang Jun put on a stern face: “You brat, when you said you wanted to fight one against three, you really made me choke. But I didn’t expect you’d pull it off. You floored all three old Russians. Considering this, I won’t mind you hiding things from me. But in the future, give me a heads up if you have any trump cards, I’m old and can’t take such shocks.”
“Leader, a person always needs some trump cards to surprise people, right?” Lin Zhen smiled.
“Alright, you have a point. I see you still have some matters to handle. I won’t stay here with you. Come to my office in an hour, I have something to talk to you about.”
Dongfang Jun then stood up and with his hands behind his back, left the martial arts hall. When he turned around, Lin Zhen could clearly see the joy radiating from his usually poker-faced expression.
With his sharp ears, Lin Zhen even heard Dongfang Jun humming a song as he walked away.
Dongfang Jun’s singing was off-pitch with a mix of different tones, but the joy in his voice was clear to all.
The song was from the Gregorian calendar era, a vintage piece from a thousand years ago. But the melody was still good.
“Remember my affection, remember my love, remember that I am waiting for you every day. I am waiting for you to return, never forget about me… Don’t pick the wildflowers on the roadside…. Hey! Don’t pick unless it’s necessary….”
Watching Dongfang Jun’s departing figure, Lu Ming exclaimed in disbelief, “What on earth is this old man singing?
