Chapter 131: Chapter 108: Charging Into the Finals, Unmatched Popularity
Wan Ming felt his entire vision was blurred...
He hadn’t slept well last night, having spent it studying Li Jiuxiao.
His eyes were blurry, as was his mind, until the referee said, "Aren’t you going to check on your Spirit Beast?"
It was then Wan Ming hurriedly ran over, where his father, Wan Qiandao, had already arrived.
When the father and son met, they were at a loss for words.
They had developed ten strategies against Li Jiuxiao, never expecting to have no chance to use them at all.
Who would have thought they wouldn’t even get to see Li Jiuxiao?
It was Wan Qiandao who remained calm, saying, "Let’s save the Spirit Beast first."
Wan Ming nodded, remaining silent.
He recalled the battle just now...
From strength to intellect, he was completely overwhelmed.
The Thunder Bull Beast lost without a trace of grievance.
Only...
Let it be.
A loss is a loss.
...
"Moo~~~"
Xiaobai was very happy.
The feeling of winning was ordinary; the main point was proving that Niu Niu wasn’t a mad bull.
Niu Niu understood that reputation was important out there.
Lin Chen also stepped forward to pat the bull’s head and while collecting blood as he didn’t expect a surprise:
[Hidden Bloodline: 18.98%]
Truly befitting the Sub-Beast King Bloodline, such power is indeed strong.
Lin Chen began to anticipate the Bone Armor Bull Bloodline of Li Jiuxiao...
"Let’s go, let’s have a feast back home," Lin Chen encouraged.
The Little Fox also chirped, expressing its intention to cook personally.
So, one person and two beasts walked toward their dwelling under everyone’s gaze.
Only along the way were numerous bystanders pointing and commenting...
But this time, no one called Xiaobai a mad bull anymore.
Instead, they respectfully addressed him as:
Barbaric Ox King.
"Moo~~"
Back at the dwelling, Xiaobai let out a comfortable moo, but it was just a fleeting moment of pride before quickly starting to meditate.
Before long, Qin Hao and the others hurried back, intending to celebrate Xiaobai’s victory, only for Lin Chen to tell them that Xiaobai was meditating.
"Doesn’t need to be this diligent." The three were ashamed.
"Meditation after a big battle is best," Lin Chen said.
The three were astounded and didn’t dare disturb, thinking that Xiaobai’s exceptional nature must have its reasons.
"Lin Chen, tell me, the diagram you started during Wan Ming’s first match, was it not calculating the direction and angle of Furious Thunder Charge?"
"What are you talking about?" Lin Chen’s pupils became unnatural.
It cannot be said.
If he told the truth, these three would certainly say he’s a freak again.
He had been studying Wan Ming for a month.
But the truth is...
He hadn’t just studied Wan Ming; he studied others as well.
Anyone who was a popular contender for the championship, he examined them all.
"Really nothing?"
"Who can be such a freak." Lin Chen shook his head.
Qin Hao and the other two were skeptical, but deep down, they were very certain of this answer.
"Enough talk, aren’t I already in the finals? No celebration?" Lin Chen shifted the topic.
Qin Hao and the other three immediately laughed, "Don’t worry, the three of us have already discussed, we’ll host tonight."
"No need."
Unexpectedly, just as those words fell, someone came in from outside. It was Xu Youzhen bringing Jiang Yue. The former said, "Earlier Lin helped Jiang Yue with revenge, and I haven’t gotten the chance to thank you. Today is just right together, celebrating him reaching the finals."
Qin Hao and the three were ecstatic, another expense saved.
Xu Youzhen and Jiang Yue walked over step by step, pupils full of disbelief...
Is the Barbaric Bloodline truly controllable?
...
The second-to-last round’s popularity votes finally began, with Lin Chen’s votes now standing out prominently, benefiting hugely from the Barbaric Bloodline, receiving the vast majority of popularity votes this round.
This led to his popularity vote beginning to surpass Li Jiuxiao.
As for the Best Skill Award, Lin Chen was now utterly dominating.
Previously, when they saw the Absolute Bone Realm, many would still vote for Li Jiuxiao.
Now seeing the ferocity with which the Barbaric Bloodline tore through the supposed Eternal Prison known as Thunder Prison, the shock it gave people was hard to erase.
Two days after the end of the competition, what people discussed after tea was all about this.
The tug-of-war of popularity votes would definitely only split the final winner in the last round, as the championship surely adds bonus votes.
Therefore, what they discussed was the championship.
"With Lin Chen’s controllable Barbaric Bloodline, the outcome is hard to say."
"I still think Li Jiuxiao has a greater chance, given the level suppression."
"Yes, 19 against 16, there’s an earth-shattering difference even in skill proficiency."
"Wasn’t Wan Ming 19 and still lost?"
This time, there were myriad opinions.
Deep down, many still thought Lin Chen couldn’t win.
However, a portion of people started wavering, thinking Lin Chen might win the final match.
After all, Lin Chen beating Wan Ming had already slapped many in the face.
That included the Golden Bull Casino owner Tian Qi.
"This Lin Chen is indeed a monster, to think he would win." Tian Qi was very surprised, Lin Chen’s win was unsuspected this time.
Therefore, in the final round, Tian Qi was particularly cautious.
But after all considerations, he still thought Li Jiuxiao would win.
Unless, Lin Chen’s Plowhorn Beast could advance to level seventeen.
Tian Qi still had his own reasoning, otherwise, he couldn’t operate this casino.
Li Jiuxiao’s Beast King Bloodline, although having immensely powerful three skills with six mutations, Lin Chen’s controllable Barbaric Bloodline, in the Combat System Spirit Beast, was pioneering.
Plus, Xiaobai’s Dual Divine Enlightenment Realm with dual skills and combined skills, against Li Jiuxiao, would not seem weak.
The only flaw was:
Level.
Lin Chen’s level was too low, causing Beast Power to lag behind the opponent.
One should know, a Divine Enlightenment Realm Iron Horn Impact at level 19 is undoubtedly hugely different from one at level 16.
