Chapter 323: It feels a bit anticlimactic
"The last match, you fight me!"

Huo Zhen pointed with his finger, and his momentum was extraordinary. Many disciples of Hongya Cave cheered excitedly, but then they found that Dao Sect had fallen into a strange silence. A sneer came from nowhere, and then laughter broke out from all directions. The platform inside and outside was filled with joy.

He frowned and looked around, only to find that all the Dao Sect disciples were looking at him with mocking expressions, as if the outcome was already decided.

Does this kid really want to use the treasure of pure essence? Or do the disciples of the Dao Sect take pride in this?
Huo Zhen, who was originally full of confidence, swallowed his saliva and suddenly felt numb.

"That guy's name is Huo Zhen, and his cultivation is at the level of Eight Yuan Nirvana Perfection."

Opposite Huo Zhen, Ying Huanhuan put away her guzheng and looked towards Lin Changqiang, with a hint of expectation flickering in her clear eyes. It was obvious that she did not hear Wudao's message.

She tied up her long black hair that had just been let loose and draped it behind her. She looked so calm and gentle, completely different from before, which surprised Lin Changqiang a little.

Unfortunately, within a moment, as she tied her hair, this tranquility was instantly broken. She even snorted and rolled her eyes.

"I thought you would continue to hide in the Deserted Palace, planning to fight two people at once."

"Me? Hiding in a deserted palace?" Looking at the reproachful look on the girl's face, Lin Changqiang couldn't help but tilt his head, his eyes widened in disbelief as if he had heard some shocking secret.

Under his silent questioning and the surrounding disciples' onlookers, Ying Huanhuan couldn't help but blush, but still raised her head and said stubbornly: "Since you are here, the last game is up to you. If you lose, don't blame me for laughing at you!"

She coughed lightly and patted Lin Changqiang's shoulder, puffing out her chest with an air of confidence. Then, as if she was afraid of Lin Changqiang's counterattack, she simply left the ring and disappeared.

Seeing this, Lin Changqiang couldn't help but laugh, recalling the green days when he was in school. After a few breaths, he looked at Chen Zhen and other sect leaders on the other side of the arena and bowed: "Seniors, leave the fifth game to me."

"good."

Chen Zhen nodded, and the other senior leaders around him had no objections. They looked extremely relaxed. Only Wudao suddenly said, "Be gentle," which made the two elders of Hongya Cave look a little embarrassed.

"This is my new disciple from the Desolate Palace, Lin Changqiang."

Chen Zhen introduced calmly, and then there was no further talk. However, one of the two people from Hongyadong, an old man in blue, suddenly looked at Lin Changqiang with hesitation in his eyes.

"I heard that you have two pure essence treasures. Are you going to use them in the competition?"

After hearing this, Chen Zhen, Wudao and others were obviously unhappy, which made the old man in blue feel a little nervous. Fortunately, Lin Changqiang just shook his head.

"Don't worry, senior. My Pure Yuan treasure has already been given to my master for safekeeping. Naturally, it cannot be used in the competition."

When the voice came out, the people in Hongya Cave were delighted, and Huo Zhen smiled brightly:

"Brother Spear, please!"

He clasped his fists, looking quite graceful, but unfortunately Lin Changqiang had no interest in being polite at all. He just glanced at him and then looked at the referee. Seeing this, the referee nodded and said loudly:

"In the fourth match, Dao Zong Ying Huan Huan won. In the fifth match, Dao Zong Lin Chang Qiang faced Hongyadong Huo Zhen!"

"boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Huo Zhen took a step forward, and powerful Yuan Power burst out from his body. He rushed straight towards Lin Changqiang with considerable pressure. This move alone was much stronger than Song Yan's.

It's a pity that this level of pressure was obviously ineffective on Lin Changqiang. He stood there expressionless, with a faint moonlight glowing on his body, and even his hair was not blown.

"You are really good indeed." Huo Zhen's eyes narrowed and his face became serious. "Let me see what skills you, the champion of the Hundred Dynasties War, have!"

He stepped forward suddenly, and the violent energy suddenly swept in all directions like a raging wave. His ghostly figure moved at a rapid speed, leaving a trail of afterimages. After a few flashes, he had already attacked Lin Changqiang. "Cross the river and break the mountain!"

His right arm swelled up several times and burst the sleeve, and his huge fist blasted out like a towering waterfall falling horizontally. The surging Yuanli even brought up waves behind him, which was extremely gorgeous and made the disciples of Hongyadong extremely excited!

"Snapped."

A crisp sound was heard, and the huge fist that had been thrown out suddenly solidified, like a stone falling into a mud pit.

Under the horrified gazes of Huo Zhen and the disciples of Hongyadong, Lin Changqiang took the huge fist lightly without retreating a single step, preventing the fist from emitting even a trace of residual power!

Huo Zhen subconsciously raised his left leg and wanted to knee him, but suddenly he found that Lin Changqiang's body suddenly glowed brightly, and then the moonlight energy spread wildly along his right hand, and in the blink of an eye, it completely enveloped him. He struggled to burst out his energy, but found that not only was there no effect, he couldn't even move even with all his strength...

"That's it?"

Amid the stares of the Hongyadong disciples as if they had seen a ghost, Lin Changqiang slightly raised his eyebrows, but this time even all the Dao Sect disciples were stunned and astonished.

They thought they could win, but they never expected it to be so easy.

"Senior Brother Huo! Senior Brother Huo?"

"Brother Huo, move!"

"This, we won already?" Ying Huanhuan, who was hiding in the crowd, couldn't help but blink her eyes. She didn't expect to see such a scene just after she came back. However, when she thought of the scene where Lin Changqiang smashed the Fire Crystal Ape King to death not long ago, she felt it was quite normal.

On the ring, Lin Changqiang ignored the screams of the people around him, and with a wave of his right hand, he threw Huo Zhen out of the ring and smashed him to the ground. Only then did the thick energy finally dissipate. Huo Zhen, who had been imprisoned for a long time, finally trembled suddenly and came back to his senses. But when he looked at Lin Changqiang again, there was only horror in his eyes.

"In the fifth match, Dao Zong Lin Chang Qiang wins!"

The referee's shout rang out. Although most of the Dao Sect disciples did not understand what was going on, they just felt that Lin Changqiang was very powerful and they cheered immediately. On the other hand, the people in Hongya Cave were gloomy and silent. Huo Zhen himself lowered his head without saying a word, no longer as proud as before.

"... Dao Sect is indeed one of the eight super sects. It is indeed full of talented people. In this competition, Hongyadong is willing to admit defeat."

The old man in blue was silent for a long time before he finally sighed and bowed and said, the other elder of Hongya Cave had a gloomy face the whole time, staring at Lin Changqiang and then at Huo Zhen.

Hearing this, Chen Zhen and the others smiled and said a few polite words, but it was a pity that the two of them were obviously in a very bad mood and had no intention of staying here any longer. They suppressed their emotions, bowed to Chen Zhen and the others, said a few polite words, and then left in disgrace with the disciples of Hongya Cave, which was completely different from the smiles on their faces when they came.

After they all left, cheers broke out again around the arena, regardless of whether the people in Hongyadong couldn't hear them.

"You've shown off your power again~"

Wudao appeared beside Lin Changqiang with a "whoosh" and touched his arm with a smile. Chen Zhen also followed, feeling very pleased.

"Well done. The people from Hongya Cave knew that the palace examination was approaching, so they came to 'visit' while many outstanding disciples were in seclusion. If you and Huanhuan weren't here, I'm afraid they would have succeeded."

"It's a small matter." Lin Changqiang smiled and pushed Wudao away, looking at Chen Zhen, "The strength of the eight major sects is well known throughout the Eastern Xuan Region. Even if Hongya Cave advertises it, few people will believe it."

"That's true, but once it gets out, those people from Yuanmen will jump again."

Hearing this, Lin Changqiang finally understood and sighed.

We always hear that there is nothing new under the sun, and now it seems to be true.

　I feel that this battle is a bit anticlimactic, not as good as the previous fight between Ying Huanhuan and Song Yan, but I feel sorry for not killing them instantly because of so many cheats ()
