"Hard!"
Lin Chen poured a bucket of cold water on Yao Xuanji, instantly dousing her idea: "He’s seen you make a move before, he won’t be fooled by your actions. His Strength is higher than yours. As long as he keeps so spare strength during the Battle to react, then you won’t be able to do anything to him."
"If you recklessly use Spatial Jump and the other side seizes the opportunity, guessing your jump location, it’s possible that the mont you just jump out, a One Knife cos straight down on your head, and you won’t be able to defend at all."
"When facing a stronger opponent, try not to jump in close. It’s very easy to get counter-killed."
The sparkle in Yao Xuanji’s eyes faded. She thought for a mont, then nodded: "Yes, what you said makes sense. If my jump pattern gets caught, it’s very easy to get calculated and ambushed."
Lin Chen gave a reminder, then didn’t say more.
If this were in the Heavenly God Realm, he wouldn’t even need to remind her, because even if you figured out where I was going to jump, you still couldn’t do anything to . However, here in the Federation, there are many Warriors stronger than Heaven Deity. If soone figures out your jump location, maybe just One Knife is enough to take your life.
Lin Chen warned Yao Xuanji not to rely too much on using Spatial Jump for close-combat Battle, or it would be very easy for soone to grasp the pattern.
It’s like rock–paper–scissors: you might think you have no pattern and are very good, but an Expert only needs to trade a few moves with you to get a feel for your pattern, set a Trap, and One Punch insta-kill you.
The Competition continued.
Yao Xuanji and Nalan Wushuang went up Again, and both won their matches.
Yao Xuanji had clearly taken Lin Chen’s words to heart. She was in no hurry to end the Battle. Instead, she relied on Spatial Jump to keep her distance and fought steadily at her own pace.
Although her opponent deliberately created a few openings, Yao Xuanji stayed calm and unhurried, not the least bit reckless. She followed her own rhythm and finally, with one last move, defeated the enemy.
Nalan Wushuang’s fighting style was actually quite similar to Lin Chen’s. If you don’t Attack, then my attacks will be wrapped around you at all tis. They might not take your life, but they can greatly wear down your Strength and drain the Energy in your body.
If you Attack, then you have to cleave through a bunch of Magical Treasure and Barrier before you can clash with my blade. It’s equivalent to you fighting two or even three of alone.
Even if those other "people" have Combat Power that might not reach Seventh Level, if you ignore them, they can still take your life just the sa.
The second-round Competition gathering ended, and only ten contestants were left. Ti had also reached Noon.
The Competition was temporarily paused and would continue in the afternoon.
This was for people to eat and replenish Energy, and also to adjust and rest. Otherwise, with Battles one after another, their bodies wouldn’t hold up.
Lin Chen and the others left the waiting area and t up with their families. As soon as they t, Gu Yuexi said excitedly: "Ten people. As long as you get Promotion in one more round, there’s a high chance you’ll enter the final four."
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Promotion in this round won’t be that easy. The top four from the last tournant are basically all still here. If we bump into them, it won’t be easy to win."
Gu Yuexi said with a grin: "Who knows, maybe they’ll bump into each other. I read the instructions for the draw earlier—if they belong to the sa faction, unless there’s no choice, there won’t be any internal matchups."
"If it’s ten-into-five, according to the Rules, the three of you won’t be internally matched. But the last tournant’s top four each belonged to four different factions, which ans they have a pretty good opportunity of drawing each other."
"I’ll pray for you. They’ll definitely fight among themselves, and then you’ll ride the montum, get Promotion, and break into the final four!"
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Then Hope your prayers work a bit better."
Shang Wenyao glanced at the Chen Family not far away. Although many had co, at this mont they were rather silent.
After two rounds, the Chen Family’s five people were down to only two.
Although that result wasn’t bad, their match against Star Logistics had left the Chen Family with no face at all—it could be said their faces had been beaten swollen.
As people were chatting, Secretary Bai walked over.
"Congratulations. In this tournant you’ve really made a splash. Now in Jinghai City there’s no one who doesn’t know about your existence."
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "thank you. We were forced into this, really. They ca knocking on our door—if we don’t flex a bit, they’ll think they Can knead us however they like."
Secretary Bai smiled: "Keep going, add oil, and try to get into the top four."
Lin Chen answered modestly: "With our Strength, if we’re lucky enough to enter the top four, I’m just afraid that when we represent Jinghai City, we’ll end up embarrassing Jinghai."
Secretary Bai laughed: "After the Competitions at the sub-venues of each City are over, there’s still quite a bit of Ti before the main event. You can keep improving."
After a pause, Secretary Bai chuckled lightly: "The Ti that Others Waste on the road, you Can spend entirely on cultivation. After all, for you to get there, it only takes an instant."
"When your Strength improves Again, plus your Heaven Deity thods, it’s not like you can’t amaze Everyone at the General Manager arena."
Lin Chen chuckled: "We’ll borrow your good words and will go all out."
Secretary Bai nodded slightly: "If you can amaze Everyone at the General Manager arena, then Chenxing Logistics will be able to run unimpeded across the entire Planet 49. The City Lord entrusted to say this to you: congratulations, keep going, add oil!"
After Secretary Bai left, Zhuang Susu said in surprise: "The City Lord also hopes we can win?"
Chu Jiaxue answered: "Pushing forward spaceti logistics is the City Lord’s decision. Our success can in fact reduce the living space of Bandits. As the one promoting it, the City Lord will naturally gain corresponding political benefits."
Lin Chen added with a laugh: "Even if we don’t consider the political benefits, don’t forget—the City Lord personally holds private Shares in our Company. When we earn ten credits, one point eight of that is hers."
The people burst into laugh ter.
Yao Xuanji said with a grin: "I heard that Lord Mo, as one of the City Lords of Planet 49’s Seven Great Cities, is quite forceful in the Planet 49 council. By forming an alliance with her, although we lose a bit of money, we’ll have far fewer problems."
Lin Chen nodded: "Yes. Money, to us, is important, but as long as it’s enough, that’s fine. Any more than that is useless to us. We don’t have any plans to build so huge Family or political power."
Gu Yuexi chid in: "We want to be salted fish, happy salted fish!"
Everyone laughed.
After going through so many campaigns and massacres, Dajia’s mindset General Manager ly had beco pretty salted-fish. In the end, isn’t the goal of working hard just to live well?
In the Immortal Realm and Heavenly God Realm, if your Strength isn’t strong enough, soone can just flip their hand and wipe you out, without needing any reason at all.
Now in the Federation, although there is still competition and conflict, at least on the surface, Everyone must still abide by the Federation Law and follow the Rules.
On Planet 49, as long as they gained a firm foothold, then they truly Can be salted fish—spending their Days binge-watching shows and play gas to kill Ti.
They replenished Energy and took a short rest.
In the afternoon, the ten-into-five Competition began Again.
