On the side of the ground races, a wave of cheers erupted.
Lin Zhen was too capable. He was actually able to eliminate the veteran powerhouse of the Endless Races, King Yama. What a great victory this was.
Dong Xuehan, Heavenly Sin, and King Yama. These three people were the three carriages of the Endless Races. They rarely failed.
Even Ye Xingcai, who was in second place on the ground race, didn't dare to say that she could win against King Yama. However, Lin Zhen did it.
Lin Zhen's victory allowed the ground races to avoid the awkward situation of three against five, saving the face of the ground races.
At this point, this round of the challenge competition was over. All the qualified people had been determined.
There were a total of eight people who qualified. They were Xiong Jing, Ye Xingcai, Augustine, and Lin Zhen from the ground races.
On the side of the Endless Races, it was Dong Xuehan, Heavenly Sin, Edward, and Heavenly Peck.
The ones who entered the fifth and sixth place were King Yama, Anluo, Craneshadow, and Demon King of Chaos.
The ones fighting for the seventh to tenth place were Giant Dragon King, India, Dark Phoenix, Sky Splitting Tiger King, Sky Swordsman, Sky Patroller, Red Widow, and Elemental Controller.
Because the Endless Races had one more person than the ground races, the ground races could only be ranked in the top nine.
After the ninth place, it would be the eleventh place. There was no tenth place.
This was a humiliation for the ground races. Fortunately, Lin Zhen was capable enough. Otherwise, the ground races would have one less person in the top four.
The minor rankings were also worth fighting for. For example, the fifth and sixth place felt very different. The eighth and tenth place also sounded different. Therefore, the powerhouses still had to fight for the next round of battles.
The next round of battles was set for tomorrow, which was also the last day.
However, Lin Zhen was a little tired of fighting.
In the top eight, the only person Lin Zhen wanted to fight was Augustine. The reason why he fought so hard to enter the top four was to fight Augustine.
As for the others, Lin Zhen didn't have the desire to fight now.
Therefore, when the groupings were out, Lin Zhen made a request.
He didn't speak through the dimensional universe. Instead, he stood up from his seat and said to the rostrum, "Everyone, I have a request!"
Han Xuan and Old Man Can Jing both had a good impression of Lin Zhen. When they heard Lin Zhen speak, they immediately paid attention.
"I've come to participate in the Challenge Tournament. My final goal is to defeat the manager of Skyfire City's surface races, Augustine. Now that I've entered the top four, I request to have a one-on-one duel with Augustine. This duel will determine the victor between us!"
Han Xuan was stunned for a moment. Then, he turned to Lin Zhen and said, "Please be more specific."
"It's very simple. I, Lin Zhen, admit defeat in all of my battles with others. The only exception is the battle with Augustine."
As he spoke, Lin Zhen pointed at Augustine and said, "Augustine, if you have the ability, let's have a one-on-one duel. I don't think you need to compete with the others. After losing your trump card, you won't have any other achievements. Just you and me. Our duel will determine the third and fourth place of the surface races. It will also resolve the grudge between you and me. How about it?"
Han Xuan and Old Man Can Jing discussed for a while. They felt that it was better for them to come up with a plan. Moreover, the real host of this Challenge Tournament was Snow White. Even if they agreed, it didn't count.
Augustine's expression was uncertain. He was also thinking in his heart.
Lin Zhen was right. Augustine didn't have the confidence to defeat any of the remaining six people.
Dong Xuehan, Xiong Jing, and Heavenly Sin were undefeatable to him.
Ye Xingcai and Edward were also difficult to defeat. Only Sky Peck looked slightly weaker. However, he didn't rely on his trump card. Instead, he relied on his spear skills. Augustine also didn't have the confidence to win.
Augustine wanted to have a one-on-one duel with Lin Zhen. However, he was a little afraid.
Previously, he dared to bet with Lin Zhen because the difference in status and strength between the two was too great. Augustine believed that he could easily subdue Lin Zhen. That was why he made the bet without any scruples.
However, the situation now was different. Lin Zhen's strong pursuit had chased him all the way to the top four of the two races.
All of this gave Augustine too much psychological pressure. It was as if he was running for his life while someone was chasing after him, and that person was getting closer and closer. That feeling was too uncomfortable.
Especially after advancing to the top four, Augustine couldn't see through Lin Zhen anymore.
However, now that everyone was watching, Augustine really couldn't reject Lin Zhen's suggestion. If he did, it would seem like he was a coward.
After thinking for a while, Augustine said to Lin Zhen, "Lin Zhen, don't take it for granted. This is a small group. It's a battle between eight people. It's not a one-on-one duel. You have to ask the others if they agree."
As he said that, Augustine looked at Xiong Jing and Ye Xingcai, hoping that they would say something.
Xiong Jing crossed his arms in front of his chest. "This is your private matter. You can decide. Anyway, I never expected you to help in the competition for the top few spots. It doesn't matter."
Ye Xingcai didn't say anything. She seemed to have the same thoughts as Xiong Jing.
However, the two of them didn't have the final say. The four people from the Endless Races had the final say.
Dong Xuehan spread her hands slightly. "Why not? I think everyone would be very happy to have less fights. The two of you can settle it alone. "
Heavenly Sin and the others wanted to say something, but seeing that Dong Xuehan had taken the lead, they shut their mouths.
When Augustine saw the situation, he was still unwilling to accept it. He shouted again, "No! You don't have the final say. Only the Princess of the Endless Races, Snow White, has the final say. She's not here now, so this matter doesn't count. "
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge water mirror appeared on the rostrum. Snow White appeared in the water mirror.
How did this Princess of the Endless Races, who had never been present, appear so quickly?
Her outstanding beauty shocked the entire audience. The charm in her every move was enough to take one's life.
Snow White opened her cherry lips. "I already know about your matters. We'll follow Lin Zhen's suggestion. The first match tomorrow will be between the two of you to settle your grudges alone. At the same time, we'll decide who the third and fourth place belongs to."
After speaking, her beautiful peach blossom eyes swept across the crowd.
Almost everyone felt that Snow White seemed to be looking at them. This was a strange feeling.
Instantly, most of the men were dazed and disoriented.
Lin Zhen also gritted his teeth. What a vixen. This was simply displaying the charm of a woman to the extreme.
However, he vaguely felt a sense of familiarity from Bai Xue.
"Today's competition is over. The final ranking will be held tomorrow. Disperse."
The water mirror disappeared into thin air. Snow White was also nowhere to be seen. This made many people feel lost.
Augustine's efforts failed. He glared fiercely at Lin Zhen. "Lin Zhen, don't think that you can win against me like this. You won't even be able to cry tomorrow!"
Augustine turned around and turned into a stream of light, disappearing from the dimensional universe and returning to the real world.
Lin Zhen also left the dimensional universe and returned to the residence where he was hiding.
He first checked on Lin An's situation through the dimensional universe. Seeing that Lin Zhen was still safe, Lin Zhen was relieved.
After closing the dimensional universe, Lin Zhen looked at the dark sky of Sky Flame City outside the window. Suddenly, he wanted to go out for a walk.
Last night was the most enjoyable night Lin Zhen had ever experienced. It also made him miss it very much. He really hoped that he could have such a time again.
However, Lin Zhen was a warrior. His rationality could easily suppress his desire. He didn't want to play with fire at this critical moment. He suppressed this thought and decided to stay and cultivate.
However, just because he didn't go out, it didn't mean that nothing would happen.
*****
At the management office of the endless races in Sky Flame City. This was originally Heavenly Sin's territory. However, it was now occupied by Princess Snow White from Qingqiu Mountain.
Heavenly Sin had been in charge of Sky Flame City for a long time. He was extremely powerful here. He was now listening to the reports of his subordinates.
"Reporting to Lord Heavenly Sin. Today, Her Highness' subordinates are continuing to search door to door. However, the scale is much smaller. It seems that they are still looking for Lin Zhen."
"Have they found him?"
"Not yet, but I estimate that it should be about time. Those people are carrying soul detectors. Everyone's soul fluctuations can be displayed. If someone is controlled by Lin Zhen to help cover for him, they definitely won't be able to escape the detection of the detectors."
Heavenly Sin nodded slightly. It seemed that Her Highness really intended to capture Lin Zhen.
However, what was she going to do?
"Have you investigated the situation last night?"
"We've found some. Our people learned that last night, Dong Xuehan and Lin Zhen appeared at the Chaos Bar. The two of them drank dozens of cups of Rainbow After Rain."
"Rainbow After Rain!"
As the manager of Sky Flame City, Heavenly Sin naturally knew what Rainbow After Rain meant. It was something that even he didn't dare to drink too much. The two of them actually drank dozens of cups!
"And then?"
"After drinking all the wine, they looked a little drunk, especially Lord Dong Xuehan. She was almost carried out by Lin Zhen. We've already checked the bar's surveillance and confirmed it."
"And then."
"After that, Lin Zhen brought Lord Dong Xuehan back to the Sky Flame Inn. They probably went to sleep. Then this morning, Lin Zhen left the inn alone and disappeared. However, Lord Dong Xuehan only left after a long time."
Heavenly Sin's face revealed a trace of hostility. "They just went to sleep? How can it be that simple? If it's as you said, the two of them can be considered good drinking buddies. Why would Snow White make such a big fuss this morning to capture Lin Zhen? Why hasn't she withdrawn her troops until now? Have you considered all of this? "
His subordinate immediately stammered and couldn't answer.
