Chapter 204: Geniuses of Two Generations
“He’s catching up so quickly? I have to speed up. I can’t lose to a junior!”
Griman naturally discovered that Lin Feng’s ranking was rising like a rocket. At this moment, there was no doubt that Lin Feng had already secured the position of the greatest dark horse.
Compared to Griman, Lin Feng was indeed a junior. Hence, it was all the more reason for Griman to not want to lose to him.
However, in Griman’s 92nd battle, he encountered a tricky character—Ralph, who was temporarily ranked eleventh.
Ralph had awakened flight as his innate ability. He had white wings, like an angel in Western mythology.
!!
Ralph was also cursing his bad luck when he met Griman. He was ranked eleventh and had a good chance of making it into the top ten. He had originally been full of confidence, but he did not expect to meet Griman.
However, even if he met Griman, Ralph would not give up so easily. If he wanted to attain his goal of getting into the top ten, he had to defeat Griman.
Whoosh.
Ralph was fast, like a whirlwind. Even Griman would need some time to get rid of Ralph at that speed.
“d.a.m.n it!”
Griman’s expression darkened. He knew how precious this period of time was to him. If he delayed for even a moment, Lin Feng might catch up even closer.
“Haha, there’s a chance.”
“Lin Feng has won another three consecutive matches. Currently, he has a winning streak of 83 matches.”
“Does Lin Feng have a chance to surpa.s.s Griman?”
“I hope he can surpa.s.s Griman. Although Griman is quite strong, his potential has already been exhausted. Back then, he was on par with Dongfang Sheng and Lu Chen. What about now? The other two of the Three Greats have both become Divine Realm and Meta-divine Realm experts, yet Griman is still struggling in the Metamorphic Realm.”
Some people were very interested in the battle between Lin Feng and Griman. In a sense, this was also a direct compet.i.tion between geniuses of two generations. Such a scene was not common.
No matter what, Griman was a top genius who was once on par with Dongfang Sheng and Lu Chen. He could be considered a genius of the previous generation. As for Lin Feng? His ident.i.ty was actually just a new student of the Myriad Academy. He was undoubtedly a current top genius of the three martial academies.
He was even the undisputed top genius among all the Metamorphic Realm martial artists in the world!
Such a direct compet.i.tion between two generations of geniuses immediately ignited everyone’s emotions.
However, Lin Feng did not seem to be affected. He fought on as usual, and every battle lasted less than five seconds.
Eighty-four matches, eighty-five matches, eighty-six matches, eighty-seven matches…
Lin Feng was getting closer and closer to Griman’s winning streak, but Griman was still fighting with Ralph. It was very difficult to defeat Ralph in a short period of time.
Actually, Lin Feng had also encountered a tricky opponent. His opponent in the 88th round was a martial artist temporarily ranked 15th. He was very strong, and his direct combat ability was far stronger than Bai Xu’s.
In the battle between Lin Feng and Bai Xu, as Lin Feng happened to be able to counter Bai Xu, Bai Xu’s illusion was useless against Lin Feng. Hence, no one had been able to test how strong Lin Feng’s direct combat ability was.
Encountering the martial artist ranked 15th now was a huge test for Lin Feng.
But in the end?
Lin Feng still deployed the Void Bubble, and still easily eliminated his opponent in less than five seconds.
This battle made everyone realize clearly that how Lin Feng rose all the way to the second place and became the greatest dark horse was no fluke at all. He had relied entirely on his formidable strength!
In the next 89th and 90th battles, Lin Feng met powerful opponents. One was ranked 20th, and the other was ranked 14th. They were not inferior to the opponents that Griman had met.
However, Lin Feng still steadily eliminated his opponents, as if dealing with them was no different from dealing with those Second Level Metamorphic Realm martial artists.
“Almost there, almost there. There’s already a winning streak of 90 matches.”
“Griman has yet to defeat Ralph, but Lin Feng has already caught up to 90 matches. He’s only one match short of Griman.”
“Is Lin Feng really going to become the greatest dark horse?”
“Griman is ultimately a genius of the previous generation, and his potential has already been exhausted. He’s far inferior to Dongfang Sheng and Lu Chen. He might even be surpa.s.sed by Lin Feng, the genius of the new generation.”
Many people lamented about Griman, and many people were excited that Lin Feng was about to surpa.s.s Griman.
Finally, Lin Feng’s 91st opponent appeared. It was Tang Tao, ranked 12th!
Tang Tao looked at Lin Feng. Although he was ranked 12th, he knew that it was impossible for him to enter the top ten.
“Lin Feng, I’m also a martial artist from the Myriad Academy. Speaking of which, I’m actually your senior. However, as your senior, I am far inferior to you.”
“Senior, you’re too kind.”
Lin Feng was not in a hurry to attack. After all, Tang Tao was his senior.
Tang Tao smiled weakly and said, “I’ve seen your Void Bubble. It’s too powerful. Even if I unleash all my Astral Power and innate abilities, I definitely won’t be able to resist it. In that case, I won’t waste your time anymore. Haha, remember to get first place for our Myriad Academy!
“I admit defeat!”
With that, Tang Tao disappeared.
As Tang Tao admitted defeat, Lin Feng’s winning streak finally reached 91 matches, tied with Griman’s!
“It’s 91 matches. They’re tied for first place!”
“Tang Tao actually admitted defeat. However, he knows his own limitations. The outcome would be the same whether he admitted defeat or not.”
“It’s been 91 matches. Can Lin Feng really surpa.s.s Griman and be ranked first?”
“I didn’t expect this. I really didn’t expect that Lin Feng can be ranked first too.”
Many people found it unbelievable. Along the way, almost no one could withstand a single move from Lin Feng. He arrived at first place with irresistible force.
“Arghhhh, die!”
Griman went entirely berserk. He erupted completely. All the Astral Power in his body erupted like a small sun, emitting blazing light as he charged towards Ralph in an instant.
Boom.
The entire s.p.a.ce shook. Then, Ralph disappeared.
A winning streak of 92 matches!
The number behind Griman’s name suddenly jumped to 92, just above Lin Feng’s, and became first again.
However, no one felt that Griman still had an advantage. What was one match short? With Lin Feng’s speed, he would probably be completely ahead of Griman in three or five more matches.
In the eyes of many, Lin Feng’s ranking as first was already set in stone. There was almost no suspense left.
However, Lin Feng, who was in the Virtual Combat System, was very confused. After Tang Tao admitted defeat, he did not encounter his next opponent for a long while. What was going on?
The audience outside was also very confused. Why hadn’t the next battle gone on yet?
Some sharp-eyed people had already realized that, at some point in time, only ten partic.i.p.ating martial artists were left on all the screens in the entire square.
