Chapter 67: A Bit Satisfying
Ten Temple Alliance, all the top figures from the Mystic God Temples came for the direct transmission from the Mystic God Temple, even though Xu Mo provoked them first, he ultimately displayed formidable combat power.
If their top figure were to challenge Xu Mo, it would indeed be gratifying for a moment; however, even if their top figure from Willton's Divine Temple is extremely strong and confident in defeating Xu Mo, surprises can happen, and victory is still a probability issue, not guaranteed.
If the first battle ends in defeat, it would be somewhat tragic, and the identity of the Mystic God Temple's true heir would be unattainable.
"He only challenges the third and fourth figures, presumably with concerns in mind. Since that's the case, I want to see if he dares." At this moment, a voice emerged, and Elder Cleo from Willton's Divine Temple looked towards the speaker.
Luo Lin, a genius student from the top Transcendent Academy on Willton Star, entered Willton's Divine Temple with a second-place ranking on the leaderboard.
"Victory is not certain, don't rush," the elder of Willton's Divine Temple reminded.
"No, I won't challenge him," Luo Lin said. "I've heard that accompanying him in entering the temple through a special assessment is his girlfriend, currently ranked second at Chloe Star Temple."
Upon hearing Luo Lin's words, everyone showed a hint of intrigue. This seems feasible, allowing for some release of aggression, and the choice can be left to Xu Mo.
Xu Mo bets they do not dare to risk, but if Luo Lin defeats his girlfriend, he wants to see if Xu Mo dares to continue challenging upwards.
Even the elder from Willton's Divine Temple didn't say anything, showing a hesitant look. If this grievance isn't resolved, it might not sit well. Everyone here is a top transcendent, full of pride, and cannot be suppressed.
Thinking about this, he tacitly agreed.
Immediately, Luo Lin emerged from the crowd, and all the transcendants from the Ten Temples looked towards this side, their eyes showing a strange color.
Currently, two names from Willton's Divine Temple have faded, and now, another person steps forward, the name shining is the second-ranked Luo Lin.
Could it be... to challenge Xu Mo?
Luo Lin walked to the center of the battlefield, his gaze directed towards Chloe Star Temple as he spoke: "Chloe Star Temple, Zero."
Zero, second in Chloe Star Temple.
Luo Lin, second in Willton's Divine Temple.
The two second figures match.
It seems, the strong combat power Xu Mo displayed earlier made Luo Lin reluctant to challenge Xu Mo directly and thus stepped back, choosing the second figure, Zero.
Chloe Star Temple also showed intrigue, they hadn't expected the selection of Zero, apparently, that guy is not very daring.
Though, they actually don't know much about Zero's combat power, unlike Xu Mo. She's more low-key, aside from fighting alongside Xu Mo at the beginning, once in Chloe Star Temple, she appears like an invisible person, never showing herself.
This actually leads to doubts about Zero's combat power, they've witnessed Xu Mo's strength, Elder Cleo placing him first is appropriate, but placing Zero second, did they consider Xu Mo's influence?
This battle may be difficult.
Xu Mo coldly glanced at Luo Lin, knowing that earlier he should have dealt with it altogether, so Zero wouldn't need to act.
"Be careful," Xu Mo said to Zero beside him, though he's not concerned about the final result; however, Luo Lin, as the second in Willton Star's Divine Temple, is naturally strong and not easy to handle, Zero has weaknesses, may be targeted, facing some troubles.
Of course, Xu Mo believes that Zero will ultimately win.
"Mm." Zero nodded, then walked out, her expression remained indifferent, showing no ripples, seemingly unconcerned about anything other than Xu Mo's matters.
The two stood facing each other, Luo Lin looking at the silver-haired figure before him, Zero standing in mid-air, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind, some strands obscuring her flawless face.
Previously, seeing her from afar without a serious look, now seeing Zero on the battlefield, Luo Lin felt a bit reluctant to strike.
"This battle started with Xu Mo's provocation, I choose you because of that," Luo Lin said. "If you find yourself at a disadvantage, you should concede."
Zero frowned, her eyes cold, glanced at Luo Lin, then drew her sword and advanced, boom... a tumultuous Source Power aura erupted violently from her body.
Feeling the strength of that Source Power, Luo Lin also raised his brow, evidently, Zero isn't weak either.
"Boom..." A scorching wave swept forth fiercely, and around Luo Lin exploded in an intense fiery flame, tremendously violent, abruptly raising the surrounding temperature. He held a Fiery Flame Battle Axe, the scorching violent currents flowing from the axe, making the surrounding space seethe.
He charged forward, cleaving with the momentum of the flames, Zero's sword clashed with Luo Lin's battle axe, a tempestuous Energy Storm swept around, with a thunderous sound, Luo Lin's body was actually forced back.
"Hmm?" Feeling the violent power from his arm, Luo Lin raised his head to stare at Zero.
It's hard to imagine, such an impeccably slender woman could unleash such astonishing power, he had underestimated, how could someone ranked second in Chloe Star Temple be weak?
Over at the Mystic God Temple on Chloe Star, everyone felt a tumult in their hearts as Zero, who had never displayed combat power before, repelled Luo Lin with their first strike.
"Boom..." A more savage flame aura erupted as Luo Lin seemingly transformed into a flame giant. An energy shadow appeared, wielding an illusory War Axe. Even as he breathed, fiery currents spewed from his nostrils, burning in the air.
Yet Zero remained unchanged, creating a sharp contrast between the two figures.
With a loud roar, Luo Lin charged forward again, swinging the giant axe in the air as if a flame giant was cutting down, aiming at Zero's frail body. Many worried that Zero might be scorched by the searing airflow, formed from condensed Source Power flames, with extremely high temperatures.
The scorching airflow surged down, forming a powerful Source Power Shield around Zero. The War Axe slashed down, and Zero raised a sword to block it. A violent sound erupted, and Zero's body was shaken back, but the Source Power Halo covering her remained unscathed.
Luo Lin frowned, surprised by this woman's strong defense and formidable strength, unable to break through Zero's defense.
His eyes turned vicious, his left hand waved, and fiery flame Source Power erupted wildly. Waves of fiery giant waves rolled out toward Zero, seemingly trying to engulf her.
But the Energy Shield around Zero was extremely domineering, and the scorching flames couldn't penetrate, unable to break Zero's protective shield.
The flame giant seemed to roar as Luo Lin charged toward Zero again, filling the sky with axe shadows gathering into a massive Fiery Flame Battle Axe. Heat waves swept out, pressing down from above, and Zero's form was enveloped by flames, looking particularly small.
"Boom." The violent power crashed down, pressing Zero's body downward. Luo Lin's eyes were domineering as he looked down, and from his pupils, terrifying fiery light shot directly into Zero's eyes.
"It's over."
Seeing this, those cultivating in Wilton's Divine Temple thought silently in their hearts.
This was Luo Lin's killing move, his Pupil Skill, carrying a spiritual power attack, capable of burning others' spiritual power, causing pain. Coupled with his extremely violent explosive power, Luo Lin possessed horrifying combat power, ranked second in Wilton's Divine Temple.
Luo Lin, having directly unleashed his killer move, how could Zero withstand it?
Many glanced toward the Mystic God Temple on Chloe Star, wondering if Xu Mo would emerge after this battle.
On the battlefield, just as Luo Lin's spiritual power invaded and burned Zero, a domineering figure appeared suddenly in his mind.
"Go back." A cold command sounded, in an irresistible tone. Luo Lin suddenly felt terrifying fiery flames sweeping toward himself. Intense pain hit as his spiritual power suffered burning, a backlash from his attack.
"Hiss hiss..." Sharp sounds echoed as Zero's sword slashed forward, knocking aside the opponent's War Axe and then cutting down. With a splatter, Luo Lin's body was directly slain, then shattered and disappeared, transformed into a phantom.
This sudden turn of events left many unable to react. How did Luo Lin lose the battle?
The Transcendents of Wilton's Divine Temple froze, confused about what happened.
They couldn't understand. Luo Lin had unleashed his killing move, attacking with both spiritual power and War Axe. Its power was incredibly terrifying, rarely blocked, but why did Luo Lin end up dead?
The bizarre scene left them all stunned, their faces turning ashen next. They realized that their Mystic God Temple's second-ranked person had been defeated and killed, with the second, third, and fourth places all eliminated.
Zero ignored their thoughts, turning directly away after the fight and sitting back beside Xu Mo, as if nothing had happened.
People from the Mystic God Temple on Chloe Star gazed at that flawless woman, momentarily speechless.
How did Luo Lin die?
Is Zero really that terrifying, placed second purely due to her immense strength?
From this perspective, the top three in Chloe Star's Mystic God Temple...
Xu Mo, Zero, Augustus... such a lineup sparked endless imagination.
Could they compete against the Capital Star O'Brian's Temple?
However, this thought was quickly suppressed, recognizing that the Capital Star O'Brian's Temple is the headquarters, and the few at the top there are likely unmatched by other temples.
"Not bad." Elder Cleo chuckled, his eyes squinting toward the opposing side, focusing on the elder who had previously mocked him.
This surely is the wheel of fortune turning.
Before the war, they had seven people, while the other side had eleven. Now, the other side was down to eight.
Moreover, they lost their second, third, and fourth-ranked members.
How satisfying.
Is Wilton's Divine Temple willing to continue?
