Upon hearing Lin Zhen's words, An Ning shook her head repeatedly. "No, your injuries are not light now. It will take at least eight to ten days for you to recover. Let's not participate in the arena, okay?"
As she spoke, An Ning gently stroked Lin Zhen's hair as if she was coaxing a child. Lin Zhen did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"A Ning, since I dare to participate, I still have some confidence. Just now, my spiritual power has advanced to the diamond level."
"What? Diamond-level spiritual power? " An Ning was also a telekinesis master, but her spiritual power was only at the middle stage of the dark gold level. This was already very rare. She knew how difficult it was to advance one's spiritual power. She did not expect Lin Zhen to reach the diamond level.
That was something only a Star Realm warrior could achieve. Many Star Realm warriors had not even reached the diamond level. For example, Old John had not been able to advance to the diamond level after cultivating for a hundred years.
Lin Zhen's eyes flickered, and a touch of brilliance appeared in the dark gold aura. An Ning was a little shocked.
"Diamond-level spiritual power must be very powerful, but … but your body …"
"I have the power of light to heal, and as far as I know, A Ning's control of the water element is very good. It also has a very good healing effect. Even if I can't recover in one night, it should be enough to recover more than half of it."
Seeing that An Ning was still worried, Lin Zhen smiled at her and said, "Besides, even if I lose in the virtual environment, my injuries will not worsen in reality. What are you worried about?"
"But … But …"
"No buts. Come on, A Ning. Let's start now. I hope my luck is good enough. I don't encounter strong opponents in the first few rounds, so that I can have more time to rest."
Lin Zhen hugged An Ning and put her in his arms. An Ning's face was red as she hit Lin Zhen twice. Then, she began to gently place her hands on Lin Zhen's chest. The surging water elements began to quickly heal Lin Zhen's injuries.
Under the dense water elements, Lin Zhen's charged particles were also constantly flickering with a faint glow, healing his injuries.
An Ning's comprehension of the Water Element was clearly above Lin Zhen's Radiant Energy. Lin Zhen had learned too many things, so he definitely wouldn't be as fast as An Ning and Su Mingyue, who focused on learning one type of Elemental Energy.
Under the healing effects of the light and water, Lin Zhen's condition improved bit by bit.
*****
With the arrival of the second day, the elimination rounds of the War God Arena continued.
However, to everyone's surprise, Lin Zhen did not withdraw from the competition. Instead, he chose to continue participating.
Although Lin Zhen's actions in Paris yesterday were earth-shattering and had already proven his strength to the world, and he could even barely contend against a Star Realm expert, his injuries determined that he couldn't continue to do anything in the ring.
As for his insistence on participating, people thought that it was more of a belief, purely for the sake of glory. In fact, he had no chance of becoming the champion. Whether he could even advance to the top 16 was already a problem.
Basically, all the participating War Gods also thought of Lin Zhen as a weakling.
So what if you're strong? Old John's slash had already injured his abdomen, and he had also been whipped several times. His external injuries were also very serious. An Ning had carried him onto the flying saucer. If he continued to participate, he would only be looking for abuse.
Therefore, when the groups were drawn, almost everyone hoped to meet Lin Zhen in the first round. That way, they would be guaranteed to enter the top 16.
Soon, the results of the draw were out. Lin Zhen's first round opponent was the War God from the European Union, Alice!
Alice had also advanced to the top 32. During the battle in Paris yesterday, when Lin Zhen rescued An Ning, no one cared about Alice and Hansen. In the end, no one knew where they went.
After the draw was out, the other War Gods sighed at Alice's good luck. However, Alice announced a shocking decision.
She forfeited this match and admitted defeat!
With such a simple sentence, Lin Zhen advanced to the top 16!
This news caused a huge uproar. The first to make trouble was the War Gods from the European Union.
Alice and Hansen left Paris Base City yesterday, they betrayed the European Union, they are traitors to the European Union, they are traitors to the European Union, they are traitors to the European Union, they are in cahoots with Lin Zhen and An Ning. According to reliable sources, the two of them also went to the east yesterday, they should be meeting up with Lin Zhen and the others.
Some War Gods from the European Union, America, and Russia cursed Alice and Hansen's betrayal. However, Hansen also posted a message on the Internet.
"It's not that we want to betray the European Union. It's that the European Union wants to vent their anger on Alice and me because of Kris. You all want us to die. We won't just sit there and do nothing. I think Lin Zhen and An Ning will be happy to give us Chinese identities."
Both sides expressed their opinions. However, people generally thought that Lin Zhen had taken advantage of them. Alice was An Ning's friend. She purposely went easy on Lin Zhen so that he could advance to the top 16 without doing anything. When it came to the top 16, Lin Zhen would definitely be eliminated.
Even those who set up the gambling house didn't think that Lin Zhen would win. Originally, when Lin Zhen advanced to the top 32, his odds were adjusted to one to five. However, today, he advanced to the top 16, and his odds fell to one to ten.
The matches for the top 16 were over quickly. All the experts advanced to the top 16. Su Mingyue eliminated another War God from the African Union and advanced to the top 16 as well.
In the top 16, Lin Zhen's opponent was actually Su Mingyue.
Su Mingyue also voluntarily gave up the match after the draw. Gongsun Du even lost his temper with Su Mingyue because of this. However, he also knew that Su Mingyue would definitely not attack the injured Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen also smiled bitterly because of this. Although Yue 'er had good intentions, she had caused trouble for him.
Once again, Lin Zhen attracted a lot of scolding from the World Channel for getting into the top eight.
An Ning who was seen yesterday was beautiful and outstanding enough. Who knew how many men were envious of her. Today, Su Mingyue's actions also proved that Su Mingyue and Lin Zhen were in a relationship.
This made countless men who admired Su Mingyue so jealous that their eyes turned red. They all cursed Lin Zhen to lose miserably in the next round. There were no women participating in the following battles. They wanted to see who Lin Zhen, this guy who relied on his face to make a living, could rely on.
After winning two rounds without a fight, Lin Zhen got a lot of time to rest. An Ning stayed by his side and healed him. After more than ten hours of continuous treatment, coupled with his Light Recovery, his injuries finally healed by more than half. As long as the battle wasn't too intense, he would be able to hold on.
The top 8 drew lots quickly.
Russia's Holov versus Africa's Pogba.
America's Doak versus Brazil's Moreau.
European Union's Ayre versus India's Yunas.
Huaxia's Lin Zhen versus India's Shahan.
Seeing that he was finally in the same group as Lin Zhen, Shahan even laughed out loud on the spot and immediately started talking nonsense on the Internet.
"Lin Zhen, this guy who relies on women to advance, definitely doesn't want to meet me. But fate's arrangement is often so wonderful. He once arrogantly eliminated my brother Omar. God gave me this chance to take revenge. I want to say something to Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen, you can continue to choose to hide in women's skirts. I won't laugh at you. Whether it's Su Mingyue or An Ning, the taste of their skirts must be very sweet. Do you want me to go easy on you and let's swap? I don't mind hiding in there for a while. Hahaha! "
As soon as these words came out, An Ning, who was healing Lin Zhen, suddenly changed her expression.
"This Shahan's mouth is really annoying. Lin Zhen, you must not get angry because of this matter. He is deliberately provoking you."
Lin Zhen took a deep breath, "Of course I know his tricks, but he really makes me feel very annoyed. He is insulting you and Yue 'er. I will definitely punish him."
"I believe you, but you must not be too careless. Shahan is a late stage Dark Gold Spirit Reader Master and is known as India's Great Shaman. He is already 75 years old this year and is the oldest among all the participating wargods. His spirit power is also the strongest. Not only does he have a high-grade spirit power defensive astral tool, but his attack methods are also extremely strange."
"What kind of strange method?"
"Have you heard of a spirit body?"
Lin Zhen froze for a moment. He knew a bit about spirit bodies. It was the energy of a person's soul power, which was what people called ghosts.
However, ghosts were basically useless against martial artists. Martial artists all had strong willpower and good spiritual power, so it was very difficult for them to be affected by ghosts. In the interstellar space, ghosts were useless, but he didn't expect to hear about the existence of spirit bodies.
"This person is not only proficient in spirit power, but also in flame power. He uses spirit power to kill people and take their skulls to imprison their souls within, so that the soul cannot leave the body and form a spirit body. These things can affect the brain nerves of others under his control. It is a unique attack method. In these battles, Shahan did not even move a single step and smoothly advanced all the way."
"He is that powerful?" Lin Zhen asked.
"Yes, he even said that if it was not for Huolof's spirit power solidification, the champion of this battle would definitely be him. He did not even need to move a single step to win the championship. After all, spirit bodies are energy bodies and are not suppressed by Huolof's gravity field."
"Then he is not easy to deal with. However, An Ning, don't worry, I will take care of him."
An Ning nodded. "I believe you. You do need a battle to prove that you didn't rely on women to get into the top eight. I've already called Alice and Yue 'er and told them that you've already advanced to a diamond spirit reader. Even if they fight, they're definitely not your match. In fact, you're the strongest."
"Hehe, my A Ning knows me best." Lin Zhen laughed.
"Go to hell, who is your A Ning?" An Ning blushed, her long eyelashes fluttering, but her hands did not stop working. A stream of water element was injected into Lin Zhen's wound, causing the scab to almost fall off.
Her delicate fingers gently stroked Lin Zhen's wound and wrapped a bandage around Lin Zhen. An Ning was pleasantly surprised. "It is almost healed. Lin Zhen, as long as you don't use too much force, the wound will not burst open."
"It is fine if it bursts open. Injuries in the virtual world will not be brought to reality."
Lin Zhen stood up and picked up the virtual reality helmet. The top eight competition was about to begin.
An Ning also stood up and said to Lin Zhen, "I need to go home. I have not returned home since I returned to Bingcheng."
Lin Zhen nodded, somewhat reluctant to let An Ning leave.
An Ning said to Lin Zhen, "I will be back in a while. I will prepare a good meal for you to celebrate your victory."
Looking at An Ning who was full of confidence, Lin Zhen suddenly whispered into her ear, "I think that Shahan might be right about one thing."
"What?" An Ning looked at Lin Zhen, who was so close to her, and her face unconsciously blushed a little. Her beauty was unparalleled.
"It must be very sweet."
An Ning was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red. She wanted to hit Lin Zhen, but she could not bear to. She could only stomp her feet angrily, turn around, and run out of Lin Zhen's room.
