The wooden sign with Lin Jing’s name fell out, and the entire audience was almost stunned. If it were truly random, it wouldn’t matter who became the first arena master, but after the Celestial Secret Tower Cultivator clearly stated that the first arena master might bear great fortune and win the final victory in the Tianjiao battle, this name seemed very mysterious.
"How could it be him? In just seven days, it’s almost impossible to repair the destroyed mechanism creatures. Could it be that he really has a second or even a third mechanism creature? If that’s the case, it’s really terrifying."
"Even if that’s so, it doesn’t mean one would inherently have the fortune of the first, right? I don’t believe that any mechanist can toy with the Mechanical Technique in front of the Tianjiao of the Divine Strategy Manor, and I don’t believe any mechanism creature can defeat the legendary Innate Dao Body, Technique Elemental Spirit! One’s own self is the root of strength."
"Let’s not rush to conclusions. Master Celestial Regret Flower also said it’s only ’possible’ and ’hopeful.’ Such matters are unpredictable. Even a real divination isn’t a hundred percent accurate, let alone just drawing lots."
Cultivators in the audience were deep in discussion, and the contestants were equally puzzled.
Especially the contestants who were eliminated by Lin Jing, they hadn’t left the Celestial Secret Tower yet. The Tianjiao from the Assassination Tower felt relieved seeing Lin Jing, who defeated him, had the potential to win the championship. The gloom over being eliminated early instantly dissipated. First, he defeated the third Tianjiao, then he had a chance to win the championship. It seems being eliminated by him wasn’t unfair. This way, he shouldn’t be punished by the Assassination Tower. Alas, the opponent was too formidable.
Yan Xiangbei also frowned, eager to know whether Lin Jing really had many of those so-called mechas!
Many were confused, while Lin Jing sighed, feeling a bit troubled at this moment.
Taking on the role of the first arena master...
Although he was determined to win first place and definitely wouldn’t give up the blessing of the Treasure Beast, the thought of facing a succession of battles made him feel somewhat weary. After all, he had to concentrate entirely... to avoid getting injured.
Seven duels, achieving that requires a massive mental investment.
"If I show overwhelming strength from the start and make some Tianjiao give up challenging, would that be better?" While Lin Jing pondered, his figure flashed under the silent expressions of the Dragon Palace crowd and appeared on the arena.
Once Lin Jing appeared, seven main gazes fell upon him.
"Then let me serve as the first arena master."
Lin Jing looked at Master Celestial Regret Flower, and the master smiled back at him. He didn’t know what trump card Lin Jing was hiding, but he was well aware that Lin Jing indeed had the fortune to take first place. Worthy of being the Tianjiao that the little junior sister took an interest in, inviting Lin Jing to participate in the Tianjiao battle was indeed the right decision.
"It seems he’s not just boasting. It wasn’t in vain that I introduced him to the Star Universe Turtle blessing for so long." Another disciple from the Celestial Secret Tower sat leisurely among the crowd. Seeing Lin Jing selected as the arena master, a slight smile crept onto his lips. He was also eager to see what other trump cards this Longevity Body of Lin Jing held.
"Who wants to challenge?" Celestial Regret Flower looked in all directions. Chen Chong, Mo Qianyi, and others didn’t react at the first moment, especially Mo Qianyi, who had just concluded a deal with Lin Jing. Challenging first would be too inconsiderate.
"I still don’t believe he can take first place. I’ll challenge the next arena master after he’s eliminated." Mo Qianyi shook his head.
The first to respond quickly was the fourth Tianjiao, Zhao Qingquan!
He laughed heartily. Others might worry about defeating Lin Jing and becoming the second arena master only to face a grueling succession of battles, but he didn’t fear!
He was Innate Spring Source Body, with extremely fast mana recovery and an endless flow of True Essence, never worrying about exhaustion. Additionally, trained in healing Secret Techniques, he could recover from injuries at any moment, making him comprehensively powerful.
Although uncertain if he could defeat Lin Jing, Lin Jing was undoubtedly very eye-catching now, and Zhao Qingquan planned to seek guidance.
"City Lord of Qingquan City, Zhao Qingquan, junior, please teach me." Zhao Qingquan, also a student from the academy but graduated many years ago, gracefully saluted Lin Jing upon stepping on the stage. Latest content publıshed on NoveI-Fire.ɴet
"Please." Lin Jing looked calmly at this senior.
With Zhao Qingquan stepping onto the stage to challenge, other Tianjiao watched seriously. Among the eight Tianjiao who advanced, apart from Chen Chong having confidence in winning steadily against Zhao Qingquan, even Mo Qianyi, the second Tianjiao, wasn’t sure of winning steadily.
Rankings are rankings, but every Tianjiao grows rapidly. Often, one additional insight or a new Magic learned can reverse the rankings.
Especially Zhao Qingquan, who, serving as the city lord, frequently achieved merits. This year, the city was even renamed Qingquan City because of him, and amidst his fourth-ranked battle record, he had never demonstrated the third-stage Latent Dragon Secret Technique, capable of enhancing cultivation!
Therefore, at this moment, no one knew Zhao Qingquan’s limit.
"Immortal Gang of Indomitability!!!" After the contest began, an intense cyan wind turned into Protective Gang Qi, surrounding Zhao Qingquan, who stood amidst the gang wind, his hair fluttering as he calmly watched Lin Jing.
"The Magic Immortal Gang of Indomitability is my Zhao family’s top defense Magic. My Zhao family ancestor once used this technique to withstand attacks from powerhouses in the Inquiring Dao stage. I don’t know how this technique compares to the defense of junior’s mechanism creatures!"
"Immortal Gang of Indomitability?!" Zhao Qingquan’s Magic surprised many. It was indeed the Zhao family’s top defense Magic, claimed to withstand Immortal attacks when cultivated to the extreme. However, due to the high learning difficulty and immense consumption, even in the Zhao family, few mastered it. Without a Golden Core’s mana, even maintaining the Immortal Gang of Indomitability for a few seconds was impossible.
"I see, he has mastered a new Magic!" Yan Xiangbei took a deep breath, sensing the Immortal Gang of Indomitability. The defensive power of this Magic already surpassed the defensive magic treasures he had enhanced. If he attacked, not using top-grade magic treasures, it would likely be hard to break, and the most terrifying part was Zhao Qingquan seemed capable of always maintaining the Immortal Gang of Indomitability, keeping the Protective Gang Qi continuously present!
In this situation, there was only one way to defeat him. Not only must the attack break the Immortal Gang of Indomitability, but its speed must also surpass the opponent’s True Essence recovery rate, which was undoubtedly extremely difficult!
Faced with Zhao Qingquan’s question, Lin Jing shook his head.
"My mecha is already damaged, unable to compete with Brother Zhao." With the complete mastery of the Pine Leaf Mouse’s Divine Technique, Lin Jing no longer needed the mecha.
"Hmm?" Hearing Lin Jing mention the mecha was damaged, Zhao Qingquan also showed an unexpected expression. Without relying on that terrifying mecha, how could Lin Jing claim first place?
Lin Jing smiled slightly, seeing the other’s confusion, he said: "In this final round, I might as well reveal my true capabilities."
"Although my cultivation is low, and I haven’t learned the three Secret Techniques of Beast Taming Sect’s True Inheritor, luckily, in the cultivation of pet beasts, I, Lin, haven’t fallen behind and have achieved considerably."
"Come, challenge Brother Zhao’s Immortal Gang of Indomitability! Let’s see if it is as strong as the rumors say." As Lin Jing finished speaking, the Pine Leaf Mouse appeared on Lin Jing’s shoulder, which in the eyes of the others, was merely a creature used for transport with space-moving Magic, without much combat capability.
"No way, he finally intends to use beast taming in battle, but this mouse... seems far inferior to that mecha!" The spectators were taken aback.
