Chapter 1888: It is Lonely at the Top
When Lin Xun won his thirty-seventh duel, the entire audience became strangely silent.
Everyone looked shocked and speechless.
Even Tao Songting and Madam Yu could not calm down.
Before, Chu Qiu, who previously had the most outstanding and dazzling performance, had stopped before his thirty-seventh fight.
Undoubtedly, Lin Xun's victory in this match broke Chu Qiu's record. Now he was the only one who had won thirty-seven consecutive victories since entering the ring!
This was something no one had expected before.
Immediately afterwards, the whole arena was in an uproar.
Someone shouted excitedly, "This Jin Duyi...is too fierce!"
Before the start of the first round of selections, the most promising cultivators were Chu Qiu, Gu Jianxing, and Zhuo Fengying...
Only Lin Xun was not listed there.However, Lin Xun, a person who they did not expect, defeated Gu Jianxing and broke the records created by Zhuo Fengying, Chu Qiu and the others!
Who would not be surprised and shocked?
"When this dark horse came out, it was already surprising enough. Now, he is a promising contender for first place. Who would dare to believe it?"
Some people looked dazed.
"I’m screwed. I had bet that Chu Qiu would be the first in the first round of selections, and I bet all my belongings on it. Now... it's all over..."
There were also many people with sad expressions as they lamented and wailed amongst themselves.
At this time, Gu Jianxing, Gao Lingtian, Zhuo Fengying, Chu Qiu and other dazzling figures all had complicated looks on their faces.
They had accounted for every opponent, but they had not expected that there would be a ruthless character like Jin Duyi who would come out of nowhere.
His ability to sweep through all of his opponents was like a horse racing far ahead of all others!
For them, he was beyond their reach!
"Madam Yu, I'm afraid that your Cloud Star Sect may not be able to recruit a young man like this,” Tao Songting sighed.
Madam Yu's heart was also churning, and she said stubbornly, "Whether or not we can convince him, we will still have to go all out to fight for him!"
Others couldn't help shaking their heads.
At this time, how could they not see that while Jin Duyi may have seemed to be a rogue cultivator at first glance, it was in fact very likely that he was a genius from another world in the starry sky.
Although Cloud Star Sect was the second ranked sect in Cloud State, it would be very difficult for them to recruit such a heaven-defying genius as a disciple.
The atmosphere of the Dao Debate Contest was pushed to the extreme and almost all the audience was focused on Lin Xun.
Despite all this, he seemed to be unaware of it, standing on the stage, waiting quietly.
"No way, is he going to continue fighting?"
Some spectators were shocked.
There was also a commotion in the field.
"I'm curious; how long can he hold on?"
Many people were excited and looked forward to it.
In the battle area, the contestants felt bitter. If Jin Duyi didn't leave, how could they have a chance to shine?
However, there were some people who didn’t believe their luck would be that bad and thought that challenging Lin Xun at this time was definitely a good opportunity to become famous.
Even if they lost, they would be noticed by people!
If they won...
They would definitely make their name resound through the sky!
Not long after, the thirty-eighth match for Lin Xun kicked off.
Without exception, Lin Xun won again this time.
He was so stable in the arena, resembling a sacred mountain that had never moved and no one had been able to shake so far!
Following that, those experts who believed in their own luck rushed to the stage to fight Lin Xun...
There were also some cultivators who had originally lost to Lin Xun. After recuperating, they rushed to the arena again...
Unfortunately, they all lost.
As the battles began and ended one after another, the uproar and shock in the arena were endless.
As time passed, people simply had a sense of shock and numbness.
Lin Xun was too stable, giving them the feeling that he would never be defeated.
During this process, who knew how many had speculated that he would lose in which duel, but in the end they were all slapped in the face by reality!
Time passed.
Five hours after the start of the first round of selections, Lin Xun won fifty consecutive victories in his arena.
Seven hours after the start, he obtained his sixty-eighth consecutive victory.
Nine hours after the start, he won his eighty-fourth consecutive victory.
…
In the Fierce Wind Show Arena, the spectators’ eyes were dull and their minds were numb.
Shock, surprise, astonishment, excitement, and disbelief…all of those emotions had disappeared from them.
Only a feeling of confusion remained.
When Lin Xun won his ninety-ninth victory, the participants in the battle area were all in despair.
How can we fight someone like this?
Throughout this entire time, everyone had thought that Jin Duyi would be exhausted and be unable to hold on in the next moment, but every time they were proved wrong.
Earlier, everyone thought that they would be the lucky one who had the opportunity to defeat Jin Duyi, but in the end, they were all suppressed and defeated!
Now, these participants no longer dared to take chances, and no one dared to challenge Lin Xun in the ring.
The scene suddenly became strangely quiet.
In the arena, Lin Xun was alone, but looking around, no one dared to step forward to fight!
The people in the audience were all in a trance. In the Fierce Wind Show Arena, with Jin Duyi here, who would dare to claim first place?
Time passed bit by bit.
On other rings, battles continued, but on the ring where Lin Xun was, it was quiet, and there was no challenger.
This was the power he established after obtaining ninety-nine consecutive victories!
Even Tao Songting and Madam Yu could not help but wonder, among the core descendants of the seven major lineages in Cloud State, how many could achieve this?
This was only the first round of selections. In the second round, what kind of amazing performance would Jin Duyi, the dark horse, have?
Hong Yu was the calmest of them all.
Because he knew best that if Jin Duyi had wanted to he could have skipped the first round of selections!
On the stage, Lin Xun waited for a long time, but no one came to challenge him, so he immediately looked at the other arenas.
According to the rules, he could continue to accept challenges or challenge others on the other stages!
If no one came, then would he take the initiative?
As soon as Lin Xun had this thought in his mind, he noticed that the faces of the experts who were fighting on other stages all changed slightly.
Someone was anxious, "Brother Jin, I will win ten consecutive games soon, please show mercy!"
Someone begged, "Brother Jin, in this first round of selections, everyone has recognized your fighting ability. Please leave us a way out."
For a moment, the experts who were fighting fiercely in their rings paused and looked bitter.
The whole audience was stunned, and the spectators were all struck with one thought. Look at how scary Jin Duyi is.
Lin Xun's lips twitched imperceptibly. Finally he shook his head and said, "Forget it, you all can continue."
As he said that, he left his arena directly.
The cultivators on the other rings were relieved and let out a long breath. They watched Lin Xun disappear and then they gathered their thoughts and continued to fight.
"Jin Duyi finally stopped!"
There were many uproars in the stadium.
Some people sighed, "It's lonely at the top. I can't find an opponent who can fight, so I can only leave..."
Some people showed hope, "This way of winning is the most terrifying. It is unshakable and unmatched. One can only choose to give up alone. I just don't know how far Jin Duyi can go when the second round begins."
The second round of selections was going to kick off at Great Void Mountain where the Great Void Sect was located.
By then, all the experts who stood out during the first round of selections in different areas of Cloud State would participate in it together.
Moreover, the disciples of the seven major lineages would also appear at that time!
At that time, it would be a real fight between dragons and tigers, and the Dao Debate Contest would become more exciting and desirable to watch.
Many people thought to themselves, "No matter how much it costs, I have to go to Great Void Mountain to see who will defeat Jin Duyi."
"Ninety-nine consecutive victories, such a record is probably rare in the first round of selections in the entire Cloud State."
Tao Songting, Madam Yu, Hongyu and others all had a strong premonition.
Based on Jin Duyi's performance today, he was destined to be outstanding when the second round of selections began!
The heated discussions and noise in the stadium had nothing to do with Lin Xun.
He had already left and returned to the inn alone.
During his ninety-nine battles today, he was able to experience the power of the great dao that was controlled by his opponents in the same cultivation stage, so he had accumulated a lot of insights.
Therefore, as soon as he returned, he began to cultivate in silence.
In his mind, Dong Liushi's Battle Puppet Imaginarium, Wang Zhenyang's Seamless and Flawless, Gao Lingtian's Blade Chant Purgatory, and Gu Jianxing's Fire Embers Sword Curtain all appeared.
The forms, aura, and charm of the Great Dao Fields he had experienced…they all surged into Lin Xun's heart like a tide.
Later on, Jintian Xuanyue's sword field White Emperor City, quasi-Emperor Kong Yin's Great Thousand Sword Shadows, quasi-emperor Qu Rao's Thirty-Six Lotus Realms, and Endless Road to Hell which was from She Ling, a member of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect, also appeared…
All the experiences about the Great Dao Fields, just like rivers returning to the source, turned into various insights and merged together into Lin Xun's mind.
The Great Dao Field was based on the dao that one controlled. That dao power got condensed until one created a world that was full of their own dao!
The higher the quality of a person’s Great Dao Field, the stronger the cultivator's control over the dao. Therefore, they could exert more power during battles.
As soon as Lin Xun stepped into the Supreme Saint-King Stage, he relied on his control of the dao to condense his Great Dao Field, but it was just a vague prototype.
It was also from that time until now that he had been trying to figure out and study the mysteries of the Great Dao Field in order to complete his perfect and unique Great Dao Field!
And now, under the impact of all the insights accumulated in his heart, Lin Xun seemed to have an epiphany, and naturally began to interpret and refine his own Great Dao Field.
