Although, if Lin Chen used his original form, his real strength would be Earth Rank Level 8, which would easily expose his identity and attract unwanted attention.
Even though Lin Chen was using a brand new account, his tactical level made winning incredibly simple.
"Alright, we can start now," Lin Chen said eagerly.
"Okay!"
Soon after, Lin Chen found himself standing on an arena platform.
There were quite a few seating areas around the platform, but at the mont, they were completely empty.
It's normal for a match involving an Earth Rank Level 1 newbie to receive no attention.
The match began, and a burly middle-aged man sneered, "Kid, you're unlucky to face . You can get off the stage now."
With that, the burly middle-aged man flashed and rushed towards Lin Chen.
However, as soon as he reached Lin Chen, before he could even see Lin Chen's move, he was thrown out.
In just one move, Lin Chen instantly defeated the burly man.
The first match ended in a matter of seconds.
Soon, the second match began.
This opponent was a young man with a plump physique.
Before the opponent could react, Lin Chen had already closed in on him.
Bang!
With a dull thud, the big guy fell to the ground, ending the second match with Lin Chen's victory.
For Lin Chen, these battles were as easy as squashing ants.
As Lin Chen won match after match, his level continued to rise, and within less than half an hour, his strength had already reached Heaven Rank.
Lin Chen's win rate was astonishing, and every match ended in one decisive move, taking only a few seconds.
Gradually, his matches began attracting so attention.
So spectators started appearing in the stands, specifically to watch his fights.
In this match, Lin Chen faced an arrogant young man.
He looked at Lin Chen with a slight smile, "Brother, I want to hire you as my personal coach, a million gold coins per month."
Lin Chen quickly appeared in front of him and sent him flying with one palm.
"Sorry, not interested."
With those words, Lin Chen's figure vanished and appeared on another platform.
Very quickly, Lin Chen's strength continued to rise, reaching Heaven Rank Level 1, Level 2, Level 3... and soon reached Star Rank.
It takes many people years to rise from Earth Rank to Star Rank, but Lin Chen did it in just an hour.
At this mont, Lin Chen suddenly received a challenge notification.
"Lin Chen, I offer ten thousand gold coins for a match with you."
Ha, finally soone is willing to challenge , but the money offered is too little.
Lin Chen chuckled, "It's free money anyway."
Accepting the challenge, Lin Chen's figure flashed and appeared on the other person's platform.
This ti, there were relatively more spectators watching.
The opponent was a Star Rank expert.
This ti, the fight lasted over twenty seconds before Lin Chen knocked the opponent off the platform.
Actually, Lin Chen could have defeated this opponent in one move, but he left so hope for others. If no one dares to challenge, it would be depressing.
With the first challenger, ca the second challenge.
Lin Chen won a few more matches effortlessly.
At this point, Lin Chen had already amassed ten thousand gold coins.
"Xiaoshuai, this thod of accumulating wealth is too slow," Lin Chen was obviously dissatisfied with this speed.
Soon, Lin Chen released a ssage: "I'm currently in need of money and will select a lineup of senior challengers. My opponents can upgrade their level to one higher than mine. If they win, they can get all the money in my account. However, to challenge , they must have the sa amount of money in their account."
Lin Chen posted his account balance online, totaling ten thousand gold coins.
Not long after the ssage was posted, Lin Chen received a challenge notification.
The challenger was Star Rank Level 1, while Lin Chen utilized his Heaven Rank Level 9 strength.
The challenger was very cunning; although Star Rank Level 1 and Heaven Rank Level 9 seed only a level apart, they were worlds apart.
This ant the challenger had a significant advantage.
"Lonely Seeker of Defeat, huh? You are indeed arrogant. I'm taking your ten thousand gold coins."
Lin Chen smiled faintly, "Is that so? To get my money, we'll see if you have the skills."
With that, Lin Chen's figure transford into a phantom and surged forward.
This ti, Lin Chen didn't directly defeat the opponent but exchanged about twenty moves.
After all, the opponent spent a considerable amount of money, Lin Chen couldn't just finish them off in one move.
With twenty moves, the opponent gained so insights; if every match was a quick defeat, no one would dare challenge Lin Chen.
At this mont, Lin Chen's bounty had increased to twenty thousand, and soon another strong challenger appeared.
An hour later, Lin Chen's bounty reached one hundred thousand.
With the increasing bounty, more and more masters wanted to challenge Lin Chen.
In virtual space, a green-skinned young man was staring at the screen with a faint smile: "Duo Luo, you're a war-monger. You don't want to challenge this opponent?"
Beside him, a blood-eyed young man was staring at the platform but shook his head.
"Of course I want to fight him, but this arena is too poor. You can't truly exert yourself. This guy's strength is so high, why not enter the Star Level network? The world created by this network lock is too crude."
In the arena, an elder appeared on stage.
"The opponent possesses Star Rank Level 2 strength, so Lin Chen confined his power to Star Rank Level 1."
"Let's begin," Lin Chen said calmly.
The elder snorted and dashed towards Lin Chen like lightning.
Since it was a battle between two Star Rank masters, the arena quickly beca quite damaged.
Through several matches, Lin Chen realized that this arena might suffice for Heaven Rank battles, but it's inadequate for Star Rank ones.
After a fierce battle, the entire arena was in shambles.
Lin Chen didn't quickly end the fight but sparred with the opponent for nearly five minutes.
After all, he needed more people to challenge him, so he had to hold back.
As the fight approached its climax, Lin Chen focused his gaze, and his attacks suddenly beca much fiercer.
The elder's expression changed; he never expected that after a balanced fight, he would suddenly be suppressed by Lin Chen.
With only three moves, Lin Chen smashed the elder's head with a punch, defeating him.
"Alright, Xiaoshuai, stop the challenge. That's it for today."
"Yes, master. Our account now holds two hundred thousand gold coins."
"Hmm, very good. Lin Chen was quite satisfied with today's gains.
"Xiaoshuai, this virtual network is sowhat lacking. Star Rank battles can't truly showcase power."
Xiaoshuai nodded, "Yes, this planet is just a Level 5 civilization, so the network isn't advanced. Once your strength reaches Heaven Rank, you'll be able to enter the Star Level network, where you can fully display your abilities."
Star Level Network? Lin Chen suddenly felt a growing anticipation for that unknown world.
