Gao Wu: Infinite Entries, Starting from Killing the Enemy to Plunder

114: Big reward?Facing the scrutiny of these powerhouses, Lin Wu felt not the slightest discomfort.

Nor did he show any stage fright.

”Seniors, may I ask what you need me for?”

Lin Wu decided to break the silence first.

And seeing Lin Wu’s reaction,

the powerhouses’ admiration for his talent grew even stronger.

Especially the Grand Duke.

The more he looked at Lin Wu, the more he liked him.

People like them, in other civilizations of the Galaxy Kingdom, even emperors of those civilizations, would go all out to curry favor.

Yet, Lin Wu displayed neither humility nor arrogance.

The Grand Duke couldn’t help but nod.

”This young man is truly a talent; he must be used by my Zhu family in the future.”

However, the Grand Duke still abandoned this idea.

After all, he was a talent belonging to the Governor.

As a Grand Duke, he couldn’t very well snatch him away from someone else, and besides... he might not even succeed!

Who was Li Zhantian?

He was someone even he had to give three parts of Face to. If he angered him, the Grand Duke would Face a lot of trouble.

Moreover, his status was indeed not much worse than his own.

An ordinary Duke would not be qualified to speak so forcefully to Li Zhantian.

From beginning to end, it was Li Zhantian giving him Face.

Compared to the Grand Duke,

the other powerhouses didn’t even dare to think about it.

Even Blood Venerable forcibly suppressed his admiration for talent.

After a while,

the Grand Duke slowly spoke:

”Nothing much, mainly we wanted to come in and see you.”

”To appreciate a future pillar of our Kingdom!”

Lin Wu, hearing this praise, did not react like an ordinary person.

Similar to expressing gratitude or being honored.

On the contrary, he felt very disdainful inside.

After all, he was the rightful heir of the Galaxy Kingdom.

However, he still had to put on a show on the surface.

”Thank you for your praise, Grand Duke!”

Seeing this reaction,

the Grand Duke liked him even more.

”As for the secondary matter, it’s to inform you to perform well in the arena competition.”

”If you continue to achieve significant results like in the first round, we will give you the greatest reward in history, allowing you to stand above tens of thousands of people.”

The Grand Duke didn’t state it directly, but left them in suspense.

Lin Wu was a bit curious inside, but since he was being mysterious, it wasn’t appropriate to ask.

”Then I will go all out!”

Li Zhantian said:

”Yes, there is still some distance to the final Galaxy Paragon Competition.”

”Be neither arrogant nor impatient!”

Lin Wu continued to agree.

Afterward,

Lin Wu left the meeting room and returned to his room to rest.

He lay on the bed and immediately fell into a deep sleep, and when he woke up the next day, a message came through the Mental Radar.

”Attention all contestants, the second round of competition is about to begin. Please all come to the central area!”

Lin Wu quickly washed up and used True Qi Wing Manifestation to directly arrive at the central area.

At this time,

many people had already gathered here.

Li Zhantian was still in charge of all matters related to this competition. After seeing everyone present, he said cheerfully:

”Our second round of competition will take the form of an arena battle.”

”This competition is divided into twenty arenas. Anyone who feels they have the strength can go up, and each person has two challenge opportunities.”

”The competition rules are not difficult.”

”Everyone just needs to remember them briefly.”

”Additionally, those who can enter the arena battle stage are those who ranked in the top five thousand in the previous competition.”

”For other students who did not rank high, do not be discouraged. Participation is key, and you can also follow the students who advanced. Even if you didn’t advance, you can still be spectators and learn from others.”

As soon as he finished speaking,

the contestants began to whisper among themselves.

They only understood the number of qualifiers the next day.

For a time, some were happy, some were worried.

Some breathed a sigh of relief, while others pounded their chests in frustration.

But in the end, they all accepted it.

After a few seconds,

Li Zhantian raised his right hand, and blue energy continuously surged on his arm.

The positive energy reaction was extremely dazzling on the Mental Radar.

”Such a strong energy reaction!”

Lin Wu exclaimed, and then Li Zhantian said:

”I declare this competition to begin!”

”Everyone immediately teleport to the competition venue.”

The blue power quickly covered the entire area.

Then,

everyone’s vision changed, and when the blue energy dissipated, they found that tens of thousands of people had all arrived at a competition venue.

This competition venue was a transport ship, with its center converted into a competition arena.

Twenty arenas stood in the field.

”Contestants with confidence can now jump onto the arenas. Successfully defending an arena means victory in the second round and direct trait into the next round.”

However,

no one jumped onto the arena for a long time; everyone was just staring at each other.

This situation occurred simply because in the previous barren planet, these five thousand people had basically fought with all their might to kill.

Therefore, although their injuries had healed, their strength had not yet recovered.

It was basically equivalent to competing while injured.

So, in the second round, they might not be able to maintain their previous advantage.

Lin Wu, however, didn’t care about any of this.

After all, with the two entries of True Qi Conversion and Self-Healing Power, his injuries had long since fully recovered!

”Who cares so much, I’ll go up first.”

Lin Wu jumped up in one breath.

The other contestants then understood the situation; it was better to go up early than late.

So they all jumped up, and the twenty arenas were quickly filled.

Then,

the challengers became more and more numerous.

However, something comical happened.

The other arenas were fiercely contested, with more and more people jumping up, some succeeding, some failing.

It was quite lively, one could say.

In contrast, on Lin Wu’s side,

several minutes passed, and no one jumped up to challenge him.

”Why is no one challenging me yet?”

Lin Wu was a bit speechless.

He originally thought this competition would end quickly, after all, there were only two challenge opportunities and two failure opportunities.

It wouldn’t take long to meet the victory conditions.

But until now, no one dared to step forward.

Lin Wu was a bit bored on the stage.

Even the referee couldn’t hold back, after all, there were only twenty arenas in total, and each one was crucial.

”Is there no one who wants to come up and challenge Lin Wu?”

The referee looked at the crowd below.

But his answer was only silence.

”Are they crazy? Going to challenge Lin Wu? I wonder who has the guts.”

”Lin Wu got over 100 million points in the last round. Even Venerable Rank high-level Star Beasts were like cutting vegetables. I think anyone who dares to challenge him has lost their mind.”

”I’m not going, don’t look at me.”

”This kid appears to be from an ordinary background, but who knows what powerful backing he has? He must have many tricks up his sleeve. I feel even Star Radiance Realm experts would be easily defeated by him. We Grandmasters should just forget it, we’d probably just be his punching bags!”

Most people still retained their sanity.

Defeating Lin Wu could instantly make one famous, but the premise was having the capital to do so.

Otherwise, they might be killed in one round!

However,

there were always some who didn’t think so.
