32: Winning the championship, seven stars

Both of them, gripping their spirit weapons tightly with both hands, leaped into the air on the arena.

These two youths from Dragon Country's Golden Age clashed once more for the supreme honor.

Diancang Mountain-Splitting Axe.

Overlord's Descending Halberd Strike.

Clang——!

Halberd and axe collided.

A crisp metallic clang reverberated.

A powerful shockwave erupted, causing the arena, sturdy enough to withstand battles between third-tier Martial Artists, to tremble slightly.

Gu Chen's expression changed slightly, his body uncontrollably flying backward before crashing heavily onto the arena floor and sliding several meters before he could steady himself.

How is this possible?

This was a growth-type spirit weapon that had evolved to the second tier after being nurtured with vast resources.

Even with the boost from a yellow extreme High Grade Major Achievement Martial Skill, he still couldn't match him!

On the other side.

After landing, Lin Yan, holding his halberd in one hand, took a few steps and arrived before Gu Chen.

Boom——!

His left foot stamped the ground, producing a violent sound.

His right hand reversed-gripped the heavenly emperor halberd, his body forming a perfect arch as he swung his arm down in a chop.

Peerless Halberd Technique·Mad Demon Frenzied Chops.

Gu Chen dodged by sidestepping, but just as he wanted to counterattack, a following horizontal slash was already upon him.

He immediately raised his axe horizontally to block.

Clang——!

Immense force assailed him.

He took a step back, gritting his teeth to control and stabilize his body.

Lin Yan remained unmoved, stepping forward and swinging his arm again.

Instantly.

An extremely frenzied scene appeared in everyone's eyes.

Clang clang clang...——!

The dense sound of clashing weapons was incessant.

Lin Yan swung his halberd, advancing step by step.

Gu Chen blocked horizontally with his axe, retreating step by step.

Lin Yan's halberd swings grew faster and faster.

Gu Chen's face grew paler and paler.

Everyone involuntarily rose to their feet.

The Referee Group watched with tense eyes.

The many observing big shots had flickering gazes.

Gu Chen was about to lose.

The heavenly emperor halberd drew afterimages.

A sharp, gale-like force, akin to the roar of the Nine Nether, once again rushed towards Gu Chen's face—he had already retreated to the edge of the arena.

Clang——!

Halberd and axe collided.

Gu Chen finally couldn't withstand the powerful force continuously battering his entire body, and the giant axe flew from his grasp.

"Pfft!"

A mouthful of blood sprayed out.

He flew out of the arena.

The Referee in that direction, quick-eyed and swift-handed, immediately caught him.

Such formidable strength.

The Referee's heart stirred slightly.

With his fifth-tier cultivation, he could easily dissipate it, but it still shocked him.

This was unleashed by a second-tier, seventh-layer Martial Artist.

Simultaneously.

The Head Referee took a deep breath and loudly announced.

"Freshman Grand Competition champion, Haotian University, Lin Yan!"

"Roar!"

The venue erupted with fierce cheers.

If there was anything most exciting and blood-pumping.

It was undoubtedly a dark horse's upset victory!

Although Lin Yan wasn't entirely one.

Before the Grand Competition began, he truly wasn't favored.

It was precisely in this environment.

That Lin Yan, with absolute strength, told everyone.

A Young King capable of making history exists to shatter common sense!

Duan Tiancheng grabbed Zhang Quan beside him, his voice booming.

"Did you see that?"

"Did you see that?!"

"He made history again! He is a miracle!!"

"Coming from behind! Crushing everyone!"

Zhang Quan's face had long been flushed an unbelievable red from excessive excitement.

He grabbed Duan Tiancheng's arm, nodding frantically.

"I saw it!"

"Champion!"

"We are the champions!!"

Xue Cheng and Lian Chuan rushed onto the arena.

"Brother Yan!!"

The two of them directly hoisted Lin Yan up horizontally, tossing him high repeatedly.

"King of Hell! King of Hell!"

The entire crowd cheered, raising their arms.

These two kids.

Lin Yan let them toss him up repeatedly, basking in the cheers belonging to him.

"Cough..."

Gu Chen staggered to his feet, coughing up blood again.

He looked towards the figure on the arena being tossed up repeatedly, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

He had lost!

Whether in unarmed combat or armed combat.

He was suppressed the entire time, without any chance to fight back.

"One defeat doesn't mean anything."

"You are both the pride of Dragon Country."

"Hold firm to your martial dao heart."

The middle-aged Referee who had been watching him spoke softly.

"Brother Chen."

"Brother Chen."

Ning Lingyao and Ye Congshuang came to his side from the spectator stands, their eyes filled with concern.

Gu Chen ignored the two of them.

martial dao heart... He swept his gaze over the Small Cauldron in his Sea of Consciousness, his eyes gradually firming.

Lin Yan!

This is just the beginning.

Next time, we'll fight again!

"Let's go."

Gong Ren looked down below.

Zuo Zhengqing remained silent, turning to leave.

Even Gu Chen is completely no match for you?

How is he so strong!!

Jing Pengtian leaned back in his seat, stunned.

The figure in black who kicked their Martial Arts Hall a week ago was still vivid in his mind.

Do you even have any sense of reason!

Zuo Zhu bit her lip tightly, her pretty face as red as a ripe apple, as if the crimson color would seep out with the slightest touch.

Champion.

You're amazing!

"Alright, alright."

Lin Yan's feet landed on the ground.

"Brother Yan, you're too strong!"

Lian Chuan's face was full of excitement.

Xue Cheng nodded repeatedly.

"Even from the spectator stands, we could feel the intensity of your battle."

"Truly incredible."

Lin Yan smiled, sweeping his consciousness over the System.

[Host forcefully seizes the Freshman Grand Competition championship. domineering index: Seven Stars. charge value: 140%]

His expression paused.

So high!!

As if understanding his thoughts.

The System rarely responded once.

"Host."

"Your opponent in the finals is not ordinary."

Not ordinary?

Lin Yan shifted his gaze towards the area below the stage.

Just then.

His eyes met a pair of resolute ones.

This Gu Chen was indeed the first opponent who made him feel pressure.

But just because of that?

Deeply understanding the principle that the shorter the words, the bigger the matter, Lin Yan's eyes flickered slightly.

Could this kid be some kind of chosen one from a novel?

At this moment.

The Head Referee stepped forward and spoke.

"Prodigy Lin Yan."

"The reward for champions in previous years has been a fourth-tier Spirit Medicine."

"This time, considering the intensity,"

"You may choose according to your own situation."

"Three fourth-tier Spirit Medicines, two fifth-tier Spirit Medicines, or one sixth-tier Spirit Medicine."

Oh?

Lin Yan raised an eyebrow.

Such a good thing.

It went up two grades.

He didn't think at all.

"The sixth-tier one."

The Head Referee paused.

"Are you sure?"

Lin Yan nodded.

"Sure."

He understood the Head Referee's meaning.

The absorption and conversion of Spirit Medicine requires cultivation and talent to support.

For example, a second-tier Martial Artist with SSS-grade talent choosing would definitely pick three fourth-tier ones.

That is the most suitable cultivation resource for their current stage.

Giving fifth or sixth-tier ones would only be a waste.

But can Lin Yan be compared to them?

Seeing his absolute certainty, the Head Referee said,

"Alright."

"The reward will be delivered directly to your school."

"Pay attention to receiving it then."

He paused.

"Keep it up."

"We look forward to the moment you bring glory to the country at the Global Grand Competition."

Lin Yan smiled and nodded.

"Thank you."

The members of the Referee Group exchanged glances, nodding slightly.

"The Dragon Country Freshman Grand Competition of New Calendar Year 888 has concluded perfectly!"

"Roar!"

Everyone from Haotian University on the spectator stands, who could no longer restrain themselves, rushed frantically towards the center of the venue.

It's over!

Lin Yan looked around the entire venue.

This Grand Competition.

Not only did he harvest a large amount of domineering charge value,

It also further solidified his fame spreading across Blue Planet after his first-tier kings road.

From now on.

The two words 'Lin Yan' will become the target of countless Prodigies, the absolute representative of Dragon Country in Blue Planet's Golden Age.

Many senior-year Prodigies from various universities watched the figure on the arena, their eyes flickering.

The strongest freshman of the Golden Age.

They had a premonition.

A monster was about to lead a group of freaks to charge at them.
