Permanent Martial Arts Chapter 200 - Dark Horse

Chapter 200: Dark Horse

Lin Feng’s sudden rise also attracted the attention of many spectators. After all, Lin Feng’s rise from 98th to 88th was determined by a solid winning streak.

“This person is Lin Feng, right? I remember there’s a Hero of Humanity in Dragonlith City called Lin Feng. Is this him?”

“I think so. I’ve seen his video. But didn’t Lin Feng just break the genetic lock? Why is he already so strong? He’s already in the top 100.”

“What a powerful Void Bubble. I’ve studied this Astral martial art before. It’s very difficult to cultivate, but even if I mastered it, it wouldn’t be so powerful, right?”

“He’s too strong. He defeated them instantly! He crushed even Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists mercilessly!”

More and more people paid attention to Lin Feng, and learned of his ident.i.ty, as well as the Void Bubble he used. For a time, many people were inquiring if the Void Bubble was that strong.

However, even those very few martial artists who had cultivated the Void Bubble or had some understanding of it were very puzzled. How could the Void Bubble be so strong?

It met no resistance even from Third Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists erupting 9,999 strands of Astral Power from their bodies. Was this still the Void Bubble?

If the Void Bubble could be that powerful, they would definitely practice it, no matter how difficult it was.

Hence, many people were very embarra.s.sed and did not know how to explain. Lin Feng was indeed using the Void Bubble, but it was different from ordinary Void Bubble.

Ordinary people might not be able to tell, but how could the Nine Sages not?

Elder Kang also noticed Lin Feng. He smiled and asked the Invincible Fist Sage, “This is the little fellow you want to protect, right? Good, being able to unleash the power of the Void Bubble to this extent is very good. His mental will is very strong, and he can infuse more Astral Power into the Void Bubble. With such a strong mental will, after a few more years of tempering, it won’t be a problem for him to undergo a second life transition and enter the Divine Realm.”

How sharp was the insight of a Sage? Naturally, they could tell the reality of Lin Feng’s Void Bubble at a glance. It was precisely because his mental will was overwhelmingly strong that he could control the Astral Bubble and prevent it from dissipating. From there, he could infuse more Astral Power and unleash greater power.

The Invincible Fist Sage smiled mysteriously and said, “Elder Kang, this little fellow isn’t just good. Do you know how long it’s been since he broke the genetic lock?”

“How long? Maybe more than a year. All nine of us agreed to award him the Hero of Humanity Medal.”

Actually, Elder Kang did not remember it too clearly. After all, how could he possibly pay attention to a mere Metamorphic Realm martial artist? If not for the Invincible Fist Sage’s insistence on “protecting his own” the last time, he would not even have recognized Lin Feng.

“Heh, this little fellow Lin Feng is extraordinary. I remember it clearly. It’s only been close to nine months since he broke the genetic lock.”

“Nine months? Not even a year?” Elder Kang was a little surprised.

Sage Bingyu continued, “Lin Feng has reached the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm, right? Doesn’t that mean he took even less time than Dongfang Sheng of your Myriad Academy?”

With the insight of the Nine Sages, they could naturally tell that Lin Feng had already reached the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm. However, it had only taken him less than nine months. They were also a little surprised.

After all, the martial artist publicly acknowledged to have taken the shortest time to ascend from the First Level of Metamorphic Realm to the Third Level of Metamorphic Realm was Dongfang Sheng of the Myriad Academy. He still took a year and three months.

Sage Ca.s.s also said enviously, “Invincible, you are really lucky. First Dongfang Sheng, and now Lin Feng. Why are all the geniuses going to your Myriad Academy? Sage Bingyu should be feeling anxious now, haha.”

Sage Bingyu said coldly, “Dongfang Sheng is one thing. He’s already a Divine Martial Artist now and has a chance of becoming a Sage. However, Lin Feng is just a Metamorphic Realm martial artist. It’s still unknown whether he can even enter the Divine Realm. How can he compare to Dongfang Sheng?”

“Sage Bingyu, that’s where you are mistaken. Dongfang Sheng is indeed a genius, but Lin Feng isn’t bad either. Heh, how about we make a bet? I think this lad can get the first place in the Martial Arts Compet.i.tion this time!” The Invincible Fist Sage said cheerily.

“I’m not betting. You lost the bet last time and went back on your word. You still haven’t given me the thing now.”

The Invincible Fist Sage’s face immediately turned slightly red. He was bold and liked to make bets, but he always lost nine out of ten times. Almost all of the other eight Sages present had more or less won bets against the Invincible Fist Sage a few times.

As for the things he bet on, the Invincible Fist Sage would always go back on his word. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that the Invincible Fist Sage was a “miser”.

“Heh, it’s different this time.”

At this moment, Sage Kang also said with a smile, “No matter what, this little fellow is not bad. The power of this Void Bubble is especially extraordinary. Perhaps he can give us some surprises after entering that ruin.”

The other Sages also nodded slightly.

Lin Feng did not know about the discussions between Sages. He still maintained the momentum of the winning streak.

A winning streak of 50 matches, 51 matches, 52 matches…

Was Lin Feng fast? He wasn’t actually fast, but he was very stable. Whether when encountering powerful martial artists or some weaker martial artists, he would win with a single move.

This was very terrifying. The other martial artists could not figure out Lin Feng’s true extent of power clearly.

Lin Feng’s ranking also rose almost overwhelmingly from 88th to 38th in an instant, jumping 50 places at once.

There were even people who a.s.serted that Lin Feng definitely had a chance of entering the top ten, and even a chance of entering the top three!

This was a dark horse, a true dark horse!

When Chen Liang saw the scenes of Lin Feng’s later battles, he also shook his head. He was convinced about his defeat.

Qin Keren also recognized Lin Feng. He was clearly the one who had eliminated her. Even though she was very conceited and felt that she had the strength to enter the top 100, she knew very well that her loss was justified compared to Lin Feng’s performance.

Lin Feng clearly had the strength to enter the top ten, and might even be stronger!

Not only was Lin Feng popular at the scene, he also instantly became popular in front of the entire world’s audience. This was especially the case for those television stations that were broadcasting. The screen was small to begin with, so there would definitely be some targeted choices for display.

Some experts, hosts, commentators, and so on began to comment on Lin Feng’s battle, and announced Lin Feng’s detailed ident.i.ty.

At this moment, Lin Feng was far more popular than when he was in Dragonlith City. He had even truly attracted the attention of the entire world!

He was the recipient of the Hero of Humanity Medal and the greatest dark horse of the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion. That’s right, someone had already announced Lin Feng to be the greatest dark horse. Meanwhile, Lin Feng lived up to his reputation as a dark horse. His steady progress attracted more attention from many people.

Naturally, Lin Feng’s parents and sister saw Lin Feng on television.

Mrs. Lin was a little stunned. She wanted to call Lin Feng’s communicator immediately, but Mr. Lin stopped her. Lin Feng was partic.i.p.ating in the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion. How could he pick up the call at this time?

Although Mr. and Mrs. Lin were very surprised by Lin Feng’s sudden appearance in the Global Martial Arts Compet.i.tion, deep down, they were very gratified and very proud.

This was a live broadcast to the entire world. How glorious was it for Lin Feng to be able to enter the top 50 as a dark horse in such an important compet.i.tion?

“Feng’er will definitely enter the top ten. Definitely!”

Mr. and Mrs. Lin also had new expectations for Lin Feng.
