Chapter 4007 - 4026: Which Matters More, Face or Life?
Star Sky Stadium, packed to the brim, was filled with a deafening roar.
Today is the finals of the Planet 49 Warrior Tournament, where the last four will duel here to determine the top three.
The first match will be between the two losers of the semi-finals competing for the third place.
Although there’s only one rank difference between third and fourth place, the rewards are vastly different.
The third place comes with a generous reward package, whereas the fourth place only gets a participation award, essentially a consolation prize, similar to the twenty-eighth place award.
Yao Xuanji, after a night of rest, had mostly recovered. Although not at peak condition, at least he wasn’t injured yesterday, just overly exhausted, so he could still compete after recovering.
Yao Xuanji’s opponent wasn’t as lucky—yesterday, he was nearly killed on the spot by Lin Chen’s blade and was sent to the hospital, where he received all sorts of advanced treatment, spending a night in a biological chamber.
Today, though his body seems recovered, he appeared very weak overall, looking pale and frail.
He seemed unlikely to last even five minutes in the arena.
Lin Chen was quite satisfied with the current outcome. As long as Yao Xuanji wasn’t overconfident, too aggressive, or greedy for victory, she was sure to win.
Reminded by Lin Chen, Yao Xuanji confidently took the stage.
Play the delaying game?
Isn’t that our specialty?
I’ll tire you out!
The pale-faced man, entering the arena, went all out, hoping for a close combat fight to overpower Yao Xuanji with his explosive strength, but Yao Xuanji simply wouldn’t engage.
Yao Xuanji relied on various magical treasures and supernatural abilities to counter, rapidly dodging attacks.
These moves wouldn’t kill the opponent, but they would consistently slow him down, allowing Yao Xuanji to evade easily.
The man’s aggressive strategy failed, and he grew anxious, using several technology weapons in a row, but they were easily defended by the prepared Yao Xuanji.
Winning wasn’t easy, but defending and dodging certainly was.
The man entered with a fierce flurry, but the performance fell flat, and once his tricks ran out, he instantly became dispirited.
Concerned about being tricked, Yao Xuanji continued maneuvering without allowing his opponent a chance to get close.
What if he still had a desperate ultimate move?
Stay cautious!
Yao Xuanji wasn’t wrong—the man indeed had a last explosive move ready, waiting for Yao Xuanji to approach, but after waiting long enough, he never got the chance, eventually being exhausted of energy, having no choice but to concede.
Yao Xuanji, pleasantly surprised, realized she won!
Third place!
The reward package was in hand!
Yao Xuanji cheerfully returned to Lin Chen’s side, laughing, "Now it’s your turn."
Lin Chen laughed, "No problem, victory is guaranteed!"
As Lin Chen entered the arena, his opponent Ji Yuan immediately activated the space shield device without hesitation.
If he didn’t, fighting against Lin Chen, who has space-jumping abilities, would be child’s play; hadn’t Lin Chen defeated his opponent in one move after regaining his space-jumping powers?
Lin Chen wasn’t in a rush, calmly summoning the Chaos World Suppression Stele, Taotie Divine Tree, Linglong Tower, and Eight-Armed Arhat. Since it was a battle to seize first place, he went all out for a righteous victory.
Ji Yuan unleashed his combat power to the fullest, fighting intensely with Lin Chen, and for a time, they were evenly matched.
As the battle progressed, the technology weapons on Lin Chen began showing their might.
Ji Yuan too came prepared, yet his methods were easily blocked by the strong barrier of Linglong Tower.
The scales of victory gradually tilted towards Lin Chen. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
When Lin Chen delivered a full-powered slash, sending Ji Yuan flying, the crowd erupted in a thunderous cheer.
Ji Yuan, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, got up and looked at Lin Chen, who seemed like a War God in the sky, with a bitter smile on his face.
Purely in terms of martial warrior prowess, Lin Chen was not much stronger than him, but Lin Chen’s immortal techniques were hard to guard against, greatly draining his energy.
Lin Chen’s immortal strength was comparable to a sixth-level martial warrior’s peak, and the attack power of those magical treasures and techniques was incredibly strong, making it impossible for even a seventh-level peak martial warrior like Ji Yuan to ignore these assaults.
"I lost!"
Ji Yuan’s concession marked the end of this final duel.
Lin Chen claimed victory, becoming the champion of this realm’s warrior tournament.
Joyfully receiving the champion reward package!
On the stands, Mo Shuyan was all smiles, while the City Lord of Red Sun City looked displeased.
Ji Yuan was Red Sun City’s trump card; originally, he was expected to take first place, but unexpectedly Lin Chen emerged from nowhere!
"Congratulations, Lord Mo. Two out of the top three from this tournament hail from Jinghai City. Jinghai City has truly made a name for itself this time."
Mo Shuyan smiled, "Just lucky."
Next to them, Chu Zhou, the City Lord of Frost Cold City, snorted coldly; Mo Shuyan’s words were a subtle jab in response to what he had said to her yesterday.
With the tournament over, it was time for the awards ceremony.
After completing all procedures, Lin Chen and others received their tournament awards.
In Jinghai City, watching Lin Chen standing on the podium, the gathered Chen Family senior members looked somber.
Lin Chen actually won first place!
Besides him, Yao Xuanji also obtained third place!
In such a short time, they’ve grown to this extent; give them a bit more time, and might they not break through to level 8?
Should the Chen Family continue to battle with them?
If this continues, the Chen Family might end up like the Yan Family.
Chen Xingdong turned to others, saying solemnly, "I believe the Chen Family can’t continue battling against Chenxing Logistics; if this persists, the Chen Family might face disaster!"
"Their growth speed is too fast, far beyond our expectations. If we continue fighting, the Chen Family might become the next Yan Family."
Chen Zhenyuan slowly nodded, "Xingdong is right; Lin Chen and his group’s rapid strength growth is beyond what our Chen Family can handle."
A senior member of the Chen Family replied with a troubled expression, "But we’ve battled them for so long, even if we want to stop, they might not agree."
Chen Xingdong gritted his teeth and suggested, "I propose the Chen Family admits defeat and compensates them with a sum of money; if they accept, then the Chen Family’s grievances with them are settled."
"Admit defeat?"
Someone discontentedly retorted, "If we admit defeat, what about the Chen Family’s dignity? Won’t we become a laughingstock in Jinghai City?"
Chen Xingdong coldly stated, "The Yan Family didn’t admit defeat, but now they don’t even have the qualification to be a laughingstock."
This statement made everyone else’s expressions change.
Indeed, the Yan Family’s senior warriors were totally wiped out in one battle; now the Yan Family is being swallowed up by major forces, barely holding together.
If not for Chu Zhou stepping in to help, the Yan Family might have long been completely wiped out.
What’s more important—face or life?
Some sighed silently, how did it come to this?
Chen Zhenyuan’s cold gaze swept over everyone, decisively stating, "Xingdong, go talk to them."
