Age of Evolution# Chapter 222 – Lin Zhen’s Tactics

Chapter 222: Chapter 222: Lin Zhen’s Tactics

On the streets of Ice City, people stared in shock at the subtitles flashing on the screen.

Behind the name Adolf was a suffix that read “Hall of Fame.”

The so-called Hall of Fame were the ones heavily promoted before the competition by various martial halls, searchable online, and found in books.

Every Hall of Fame member was popular, and people believed that they could advance to the knockout stage, yet such a Hall of Fame member was instantly killed upon entering the battlefield.

Lin Zhen!

It was Lin Zhen again!

Wasn’t he supposed to be done for, with his low realm after advancing to the War God level?

Wasn’t he supposed to be the first one to be eliminated?

Those Sand Russia martial artists looked so fierce, didn’t they all vow to teach Lin Zhen a lesson?

How did everything suddenly reverse in an instant?

“Oh my God, Lin Zhen only took one second to kill Adolf, one of Sand Russia’s three warriors, and he’s a Hall of Fame member! He’s going to reach the sky!”

“Yeah, what about the Sand Russia’s three warriors, the Hall of Fame members?

Didn’t that guy even think about hiding? Did he just stupidly run into Lin

Zhen’s spear?”

These people got one thing right — Adolf didn’t hide. He wanted to kill Lin Zhen in the first move too. Both of them saw each other and rushed to fight, which resulted in Lin Zhen’s instant kill.

Not only in Ice City, but in front of the Forbidden City at Capital Base City, the sculptures in the Southern Base City, the Ming Pearl Tower in Demon Capital Base City, and the boundary outposts in the Northwest Base City…

At Moscow’s Red Square, the foot of New York’s Statue of Liberty, the side of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, in front of the temples in India…

The world stopped breathing at this moment.

If this could be maintained for a day, the air quality of Earth would surely improve significantly.

But then, the world started boiling.

People were in an uproar and agitated.

This was not the right script!

What happened to the Sand Russian martial artists who were supposed to kill a

Hua Xia person first? How did it reverse in the blink of an eye? It was now the Sand Russian who was killed by a Hua Xia person — an instant kill by the supposed rookie against one of the Sand Russia’s three warriors!

While other countries were just confused, Sand Russia erupted in a collective swearing, of course, not at Lin Zhen, but at Adolf of the Far East Base City.

Adolf angrily took off his helmet in his room, slamming it to the ground.

“What happened? Am I hallucinating? How could I be killed by Lin Zhen’s one shot? I’m one of the Sand Russia’s three warriors, a Hall of Fame member, a man who’s said to have hopes of making it to the top 16!”

Adolf hung his head in pain, his ambitions for the competition now completely gone, feeling as if his whole life was in darkness.

“Crack! ”

“Smash!”

The glass of Adolf’s house was shattered, and curses from outside streamed in. Adolf didn’t even have the courage to go out and see who it was. He could only curl up in the corner of his room, hiding from the flying debris.

“I wish I hadn’t provoked Lin Zhen.” This was the only thought in Adolf’s mind right now.

After Lin Zhen’s instant kill, the big screen on the street began to change frequently.

Finally, a Hua Xia person was eliminated, and the plot took another twist. It was Shen Yuhua who was defeated, and the one who knocked him out was Huo Luofu.

As soon as Huo Luofu entered the Heavenly Garden, he immediately saw a Hua Xia War God not far away, and he pounced without hesitation.

Shen Yuhua also caught sight of Huo Luofu, and couldn’t help but feel unlucky.

He didn’t have the courage to face Huo Luofu. When Huo Luofu pounced, Shen Yuhua even performed a lazy donkey-roll move, surprisingly dodging Huo Luofu’s attack.

Huo Luofu didn’t expect that a War God of Hua Xia would use such a move, and because of that, he missed his first strike.

By the time he launched his second attack to eliminate Shen Yuhua, the first blood had already been taken on the other side.

Every contestant could see the virtual system’s data as well, with several leaderboards on a small screen, which could also be searched on-demand.

Seeing Lin Zhen taking the first blood, even Huo Luofu, who had completed the second kill, had a burning look on his face.

Lin Zhen has really blown his reputation up with his ability to instantly kill Adolf within a second. They underestimated him.

Of course, Huo Luofu didn’t think Lin Zhen’s true strength was that strong. It must have been that fool Adolf who short-circuited somewhere, allowing Lin Zhen to take advantage of him.

After Huo Luofu completed the kill, more killings started happening.

“The War God of the United States Los Angeles Heaven Martial Hall, Duke, kills Brazilian War God XXX…”

“Hua Xia Capital’s Grace Church’s Su Mingyue kills Indian Mumbai War God

“European Union Paris Base City Sacred Martial Hall’s Chris kills United States War God XXX ..

“Indian New Delhi War God Omar kills Hua Xia War God XX….”

“European Union Paris Base City Sacred Martial Hall’s Chris kills Indian War God XXX…Achieves a double kill!”

The screen scrolled like crazy, with countless names appearing layer by layer, the number of kills on the leaderboard increased rapidly, and the more than 30,000 original contestants dropped sharply.

Within a minute, the total number of people had decreased to 25,000. In just one minute, more than 5,000 War Gods had been eliminated!

This was because everyone had gathered initially, so after a minute, hardly anyone stayed in the same place, and the number of killings slowed down. However, the leaderboard occasionally still displayed someone being killed by someone else.

The person with the most kills was Chris from the European Union Paris Base City Sacred Martial Hall, who had killed four people so far.

Those who had killed three or two people numbered in the hundreds. Lin Zhen’s name had already fallen behind in the ranking, but people had firmly memorized it.

After taking out Adolf, Lin Zhen didn’t hurry to move forward.

He had just killed Adolf, who had been careless, not realizing Lin Zhen’s spiritual power had reached the Dark Gold Late Stage, able to break through even the defense of a Lower Grade Star Artifact.

Lin Zhen had no intention of striving for a high ranking. Whether he was ranked first or 1,024th, it was the same to him. Moreover, being too far ahead could expose him to more powerful opponents, which could be even more dangerous.

Lin Zhen stopped at the edge of the grassland and began observing the rules of the virtual world.

From the moment the War Gods entered the virtual world, there were four ways to leave the virtual world.

The first was to actively exit; you would just have to use mental power to confirm when you wanted to leave. This type of exit was equivalent to giving up, but you could keep the collected gemstone fragments.

The second method was to advance to the Garden Cottage and exit when you left your name there. The system would consider you to have completed the test, actively exit the virtual world, and keep the gemstone fragments.

The third method was simple: exit upon death. If you were killed by someone else or died due to insects or plants in the garden, the gemstone fragments would automatically drop.

The last method was to exit when time was up, and the fragments would still be retained.

This Heavenly Garden was not a place to stay indefinitely. There were four seasons here: spring, summer, autumn, and winter, each lasting one day. The first day you entered was spring, and the fourth day would be winter. When the winter was about to end, the Garden’s time would be up, and everyone would exit, ending the preliminary competition.

After reading the rules, Lin Zhen looked at the leaderboard.

Currently, there were more than 24,000 people remaining in the garden. After the initial killings, people began to move forward quickly, hoping to cross the grassland as soon as possible.

But Lin Zhen was in no hurry to move. With everyone rushing forward, battles would be inevitable. As a Spiritual Mind Master, who could fly and teleport, his traveling speed was not slow. Now was a good time to stay behind and collect some gemstone fragments.

He even rested and adjusted his breath at the edge of the grassland for nearly an hour before getting up, stepping on clouds to ascend into the sky, and observing that there were no people around. Only then did he slowly move towards the direction of the flower sea.

At this point, the external leaderboard had changed significantly.

Of course, the advancement leaderboard was still empty, but the killing leaderboard was constantly changing.

Chris ranked first with nine kills, Duke ranked second with eight kills, Ai Er ranked third with seven kills, followed by a long list of tied ranks.

Most of the people who could occupy the killing leaderboard were known to everyone, members of the Hall of Fame who had been heavily promoted before the competition. These people were celebrities among the War Gods.

These people were advancing quickly, hoping to reach the flower sea by the end of the first day and seize the opportunity to advance as soon as possible.

Lin Zhen was completely unaware of these changes, but even if he knew, he wouldn’t care. He took the liquid metal from his waist and saw that there was no one around, then began his plan.

His plan was to get rid of the grass.

Gemstone fragments were mostly hidden in flowers and grass, which were too tall to find without careful searching.

Lin Zhen didn’t have the time to search one by one. He had already had an idea. After ascending into the sky, the liquid metal separated and turned into a windmill with three blades.

Each of the blades was a 10-meter-long curved blade, and three blades connected at the rear formed a large windmill.

With the dark gold late stage spiritual power he currently had, driving the liquid metal was not a problem. Upon ascending, the windmill formed, and with a mental maneuver, the windmill began to spin in mid-air!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Large areas of grass were flattened by Lin Zhen. While getting rid of the grass, he also used gravity to throw the flying grass behind him, ensuring his field of vision could always monitor the ground.

The 10-meter-long blade spinning for weed removal was extremely efficient. Whether grass, wood, or stones, they had no resistance against the liquid metal that had attained the strength of a High Grade Celestial Device.

It was as if a hurricane had swept across the grassland, leaving behind only desolation and occasional red glows on the bare ground. These were the gemstone fragments..
