Chapter 406  : Chapter 406  : Spiritual Power Battle Tactics

Things really turned out as Lin Zhen had predicted.

After winning 500 consecutive fights, he no longer faced any Satellite Stage opponents.

Although Lin Zhen wasn’t afraid of Planet Stage opponents, the battles became more difficult.

He could sometimes instantly kill Satellite Stage opponents, but it was not as simple to defeat Planet Stage opponents. They usually had to go through a fierce fight first.

What used to last one or two minutes now took three to five minutes, and even longer if he encountered strong Planet eighth and ninth levels, the battle could last more than ten minutes.

Nonetheless, Lin Zhen still maintained a perfect winning streak.

On the third day, Lin Zhen achieved 532 consecutive victories.

On the fourth day, Lin Zhen scored 570 victories.

On the fifth day, Lin Zhen won 603 victories…!

However, on the ninth day, after 761 consecutive wins, Lin Zhen lost for the first time.

A man dressed in red, from the capital of the Sanjiang Star Domain Federation, Sky Island Star, named Jie Li, a Seven-level Constant Star expert.

This was the first time Lin Zhen encountered a Constant Star Stage opponent in Asura Arena. When he saw Jie Li, he knew something was wrong.

To become a Red Star Shura, one’s winning rate should be above 95%. Especially in the case of this man with seven stars, Lin Zhen was shocked to see his number of victories, 119,302 wins!

Nearly 120,000 wins, and a victory rate of 98%!

“This guy is not far from becoming an Asura King!”

Jie Li’s gaze brightened when he saw Lin Zhen entering the arena.

“Oh! Satellite Level 6, Diamond Peak Spiritual Mind Master, not bad.”

The fact that he could see Lin Zhen’s spiritual power intensity so easily proved one thing: his spiritual strength was even stronger than Lin Zhen’s.

Being polite to such a strong opponent, Lin Zhen said, “I’m still far behind compared to fellow elder.”

Jie Li looked Lin Zhen up and down for a while, and suddenly his eyes widened, “You’re not even 30 years old yet?”

Lin Zhen nodded, as he was only 23 years old now.

Jie Li praised, “You are indeed a rare genius, could you please tell me your Dimensional Universe number?”

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhen told him his number.

“Great, I think we’ll have a chance to meet again. Let me show you now how Diamond Level and above Spiritual Mind Masters fight.”

“Clang!”

A sharp metallic sound was heard as Jie Li released five curved blades from his hand.

The speed of these blades was too fast for the naked eye to catch, and their sharpness hurt Lin Zhen’s skin even before they arrived.

“This is the opponent’s psychokinetic weapon! His spiritual power is so strong!”

Lin Zhen’s pupils widened for a moment, as Jie Li’s spiritual power was stronger than his, and there was a layer of green on the blades. For the first time, Lin Zhen met a Spiritual Mind Master stronger than himself. Facing these incredibly fast mental power weapons, Lin Zhen used his Seven Stars Knife to fight back.

He released seven Elemental Flying Knives, and his Seven Stars Knife had already been promoted to the level of a divine artifact. The opponent’s five blades were divine artifacts as well.

But as soon as the Seven Stars Knife collided with the opponent’s blades, Lin Zhen found himself at a significant disadvantage.

Although his spiritual power was weaker, he could still struggle to block a few times. However, when it came to controlling the knives, Lin Zhen was far behind!

“Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang, Clang!!!”

After a series of sharp sounds, Lin Zhen’s Seven Stars Knife was completely knocked down by Jie Li’s blades. Jie Li could accurately hit the weak spots of the Seven Stars Knife while the blades were moving at high speed, rendering Lin Zhen’s strength useless.

It was like two people fighting, with the opponent attacking the essential spots such as joints and nerves, making it impossible for Lin Zhen to use his brute strength.

As the Seven Stars Knife hit the ground, Lin Zhen gave up resisting.

His opponent’s blades were too fast, and he didn’t even have a chance to launch a close-range attack. Slow moves such as Thunder Kill and Starburst couldn’t be of any use, and Mental Shock was out of the question.

Jie Li laughed and said to Lin Zhen, “Your spiritual power is very strong, much stronger than when I was at the Satellite Stage. I was still a War God when I was in my twenties, and now I’m almost two thousand years old, so there’s no shame in losing.”

“But I was completely unable to resist,” Lin Zhen regretted.

“You lost because you haven’t systematically learned how to use spiritual power in battle. You need to find a suitable mental power technique. Your flying knives have excellent quality, but their power depends entirely on your mental strength. To kill only by speed is like having a good sword but no sword skill. You need a set of sword skills.”

“But… where can I buy mental power weapon techniques?”

“Mental power techniques are extremely precious and not available in ordinary places. Those who get these secret techniques will auction them off if they don’t use them themselves. Perhaps you can try your luck at the Dimensional Auction House.”

“Dimensional Auction House?”

“Yes, the Dimensional Auction House is one of the leading enterprises in the universe. All the best goods are sold there, but don’t go in if you don’t have enough money, as it can easily lead to frustration, haha!”

After finishing his words, Jie Li’s blades flashed by like lightning, and Lin Zhen fell to the ground.

Thus, Lin Zhen had 621 victories and one defeat, with a winning rate of 99%.

No matter how many wins one had, as long as they lost one fight, the winning rate was no longer 100% and was all calculated as 99%.

After leaving the Asura Arena, Lin Zhen didn’t feel discouraged. He knew that no one could win forever, and failure was also a valuable asset; otherwise, one would never know where they were lacking.

First, he asked Chris to check the transaction records of mental-powered weapons and combat techniques in the Dimensional Auction House. He knew about this place, but he had never been there before.

“Master, I don’t have the necessary permissions to access that information.”

“What do I have to do to get permission?”

“You must become a member of the auction house. As a member of the Dimensional Auction House, you can buy and sell items freely.”

“How can I become a member?”

“When your account balance reaches 100 million in high-level Universe Country currency, you can apply for membership.”

Lin Zhen’s mouth twitched. Were they talking about 100 million Kirin Coins? That was equivalent to a trillion Sanjiang Coins, while he currently only had 10 million Sanjiang Coins. The gap was immense.

Although he couldn’t obtain mental-powered weapons and combat techniques for the time being, Lin Zhen now had a goal: he was determined to raise enough funds to become a member of the Dimensional Auction House.

After losing a match, Lin Zhen continued his battles in the Asura Arena.

For a while, he did not encounter any overly formidable martial artists, or at least none with an Asura Title.

On the tenth day, Lin Zhen had 692 wins and one loss.

On the eleventh day, Lin Zhen achieved 739 wins. On the fifteenth day, Lin Zhen won his 899th match!

“So far, I’ve participated in 900 Asura Arena battles and only lost one. As long as I win another 101 matches, I’ll be able to obtain the Asura Title.”

“If I want to become an Asura King, I mustn’t lose more than ten matches, so that my win rate remains at 99%.”

“However, with my current strength, it might be difficult to become an Asura King. If I want to become a Red Star Shura, I must earn 1,000 wins while keeping my losses below fifty; otherwise, my win rate won’t stay above 95%.”

“In the upcoming battles, I suspect that most of my opponents will be at the Constant Star Stage, and the chances of encountering Asura Warriors will greatly increase. I don’t have much confidence when it comes to fighting across two major realms.”

“Regardless, I must obtain the title of Red Star Shura—I hope everything goes smoothly.”

Lin Zhen took a short break, adjusted his state to its peak, and re-entered the Asura Arena.

His time was running out, as there were only five days left until the Anderson family’s second assassin arrived.

Inside the Ancient God City, Diana had personally taken up the search for World Stones.

World Stones contained self-contained worlds within them—only those above the Black Hole Period with great power could use them, as ordinary people had no need for such items.

Because they already had Space Rings.

One could say that World Stones were like Space Rings for super powerful individuals!

However, this Space Ring was a real world, and to protect their wealth, there were often dangers within.

The owner of Laya Star was a fiercely powerful Seven-Crowned Asura King at the Star System Stage. His wealth was enough to make many people envious.

“Move faster! Don’t miss any stones. Investigate each one carefully. Even the smallest pebble shouldn’t be overlooked!” Ya Xuan stood next to Diana, loudly urging the soldiers of the Tianhe Empire below, who were scanning the stones one by one with small detectors. Farther away, many people were dismantling the pyramids.

Diana glanced at Ya Xuan: “Has your soul recovered?”

“Count, my soul has indeed recovered. Fortunately, you found Lin Zhen’s scheme, or else I would have been his puppet for the rest of my life.”

“Hmph! I wasted a Soul-stabilizing Stone to save you.”

“Count, I’m unable to repay your kindness, so the only thing I can do is devote my life to serving you.”

Diana nodded: “How many more days until these pyramids are dismantled completely?”

“At most a week. We’re working overtime and have sped up considerably compared to the original plan.”

“Faster. As soon as our work here is done, we can return home.”

Ya Xuan nodded and hesitated before saying, “My Lord, we’ve learned that Lin Zhen is currently battling in the Asura Arena, and his record is quite impressive.”

“Has he entered the Satellite Stage? What’s his record?” Diana asked.

“It seems he has over 900 wins, with only three losses.”

Diana closed her eyes: “This isn’t good. If he becomes a Red Star Shura, he’ll be able to take out a loan from the Dimensional Universe Bank. Then he’ll definitely apply to become a Lord, and at that point, I won’t be able to stop him.”

“Ah! If he becomes a Lord, he’ll definitely drive us out. What should we do?”

“What’s his number and exact record?”

“His number is 777778888899999, and his record is 915 wins and 3 losses!”

“I have to stop him,” Diana said firmly.

“How will you stop him?” Ya Xuan asked.

“Don’t forget that I am a Gold Level Four-star Asura Warrior at the Five-level Constant Star Stage. I can also participate in the Asura Arena. As long as I keep challenging him specifically, he won’t have time to participate in random battles, forcing him to accept my challenge sooner or later.”

“But what if he never accepts?”

“That’s even better. As long as we can hold out for five more days, he will never need to accept again!”
