Soon.
The team competition in the arena on Canglan Star came to an end.
Due to Lin Yuan's power, Dongning City unexpectedly secured the 100th position.
It's worth mentioning that this ranking encompasses the entire Canglan Star. Canglan Star is divided into five continents: East, West, North, South, and the powerful Central Continent.
Over twenty thousand cities participated.
Achieving a top 100 position among so many cities undoubtedly attracted envy.
Everyone could see that Dongning City achieved its current ranking primarily because of "Lin Yuan."
This evolutionist, who to some extent rivaled a Third Rank, was the core of Dongning City's participating team. As for the other three members, saying they were accessories was actually praising them.
"If our city had an evolver like 'Lin Yuan,' we could probably break into the top fifty."
"True, an evolver who masters the power of domains is well-suited to control the entire field. Such abilities are incredibly rare."
"I wonder what luck Dongning City had. In the previous few arena competitions, I hadn't even heard the name of this city. Now, it suddenly emerges."
"By the way, do any of you know this 'Lin Yuan' person?"
Countless spectators were rapidly discussing.
In the team competition, Lin Yuan was undoubtedly the most eye-catching figure.
His presence even overshadowed the more than ten Third Rank evolvers.
After all, resisting a Third Rank evolver for over half an hour with only Second Rank strength was a scene rarely seen in previous arena competitions.
"Next is the individual competition."
"I wonder how well Lin Yuan can rank in the upcoming matches."
"I believe he can make it to at least the top fifty."
"I think top twenty; just below those ten-plus Third Rank evolvers."
The excitement of the arena competition further escalated. Compared to the team competition, the individual competition generated even more enthusiasm.
Dongning City Arena.
The individual competition was delayed by more than half a month after the team competition ended. Until then, the competition had reached the top five hundred.
Lin Yuan stood on one side of the arena, quietly awaiting his opponent for this match.
The seats around him were filled with spectators.
After hundreds of matches, Lin Yuan had accumulated a large number of "fans."
Especially in the final battle of the team competition, single-handedly resisting a Third Rank evolver and two Second Rank pinnacle evolvers for over half an hour, he gained numerous supporters.
Now, every match Lin Yuan participated in attracted a large audience, including millions of ordinary citizens who watched through the "live broadcast."
"I never thought this arena competition could come this far," remarked the host Sun Bin with deep emotion.
As the host of Dongning City, Sun Bin could only commentate on Dongning City's matches. If all Dongning City participants were eliminated, he naturally wouldn't have anything to do.
Sun Bin had only commentated on one match the most in previous arena competitions, which was decades ago, and it was incomparable to the current situation.
It should be noted that the arena competition had now reached the top five hundred, which was close to the final stage.
Sun Bin felt like he was dreaming.
No, even if he were dreaming, he wouldn't dare to dream this kind of dream.
"Alright, now our contestant Lin Yuan has arrived, the one who has created miracles all the way."
Sun Bin generously praised Lin Yuan, then began introducing Lin Yuan's opponent.
"In this match, the opponent is from Haiyuan City, Sima Yun, also a Second Rank pinnacle evolver, pursuing the Water Element Evolutionary Path."
Sun Bin looked around at the filled seats, his voice enthusiastic. "In terms of historical records, Lin Yuan undoubtedly has a higher chance of winning, but Sima Yun cannot be underestimated."
On the arena.
Lin Yuan looked at the opponent who appeared in the distance.
Sima Yun was a woman with blue-colored pupils, and looking at her was like looking into an ocean.
"Water Element Evolutionary Path."
Interest appeared on Lin Yuan's face.
The Water Element Evolutionary Path was one of the elemental evolutionary paths. Elemental evolutionary paths included five major mainstream paths: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. In addition, there were special paths like Shadow and Ice.
In the previous matches, Lin Yuan encountered some evolvers with different elemental evolutionary paths.
But the Water Element Evolutionary Path is relatively rare.
Soon.
The match began.
Lin Yuan was about to unleash the Tai Chi Domain, intending to carefully study Sima Yun.
At this moment, Sima Yun, standing opposite Lin Yuan, raised her hand without hesitation.
"I concede."
Sima Yun deeply looked at Lin Yuan.
If it were any other opponent, she, Sima Yun, would try to resist to some extent. She wouldn't directly admit defeat.
But Lin Yuan...
Sima Yun had been paying attention to Lin Yuan for a long time, understanding his fighting style. Opponents who fought against Lin Yuan often managed to hold on until the last moment, enduring various "manipulations" and probes from Lin Yuan.
This was true when fighting against First Rank opponents and Second Rank opponents alike.
After a long time, Sima Yun began to sense that something was off. Therefore, she chose to concede directly.
After all, Sima Yun believed that it was absolutely impossible for her to resist a Third Rank evolver for over half an hour.
If Lin Yuan could achieve that, it proved that his strength surpassed hers. Rather than being continuously toyed with after the match, it was better to concede gracefully.
"Concede."
Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.
He sighed.
Lately, in the individual matches, there were more and more evolvers without the will to progress.
Before leaving, Sima Yun curiously asked Lin Yuan.
"Are you also like them, aiming for those ten spots?"
"Ten spots?" Lin Yuan didn't answer.
When he returned to the resting room, Lin Yuan fell into brief contemplation.
Sima Yun, as an evolver who could make it into the top five hundred, definitely wouldn't say something without a basis.
"Ten spots?"
"Is it the top ten, or something else?"
Lin Yuan rubbed his chin and simultaneously connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.
"I want to know about the matter of the ten spots in the arena competition."
Lin Yuan inquired directly.
Rather than laboriously investigating the issue of the "ten spots," it was better to ask the Goddess of Wisdom. The Goddess knew everything that humanity should and shouldn't know.
"Beep. If the authority is sufficient for the so-called 'ten spots,' it refers to the ten spots in the Canglan Star arena competition that have been selected for Red Kun Star Lord's viewing."
"Evolvers who rank in the top ten of the individual arena competition have the chance to attract the attention of Red Kun Star Lord."
The solemn and cold voice of the Goddess of Wisdom slowly echoed.
"Red Kun Star Lord?"
Lin Yuan looked somewhat surprised.
This was an eminent figure who ruled over a star domain, an absolute authority.
The Red Kun Star Domain, including the eight major star systems, all fell within the influence of this Red Kun Star Lord.
Canglan Star, Central Continent.
Within a private space.
A man with thunderous shadows in his pupils sat on a sofa.
Just by sitting there, faint lightning seemed to flow in the surrounding void.
"This is the list of notable participants and detailed information for the upcoming arena competition. Thunder God, take a look to avoid problems during the encounters."
Beside the man with thunderous shadows in his pupils, a middle-aged man stood. He lightly tapped the virtual screen in front of him and stepped back to the front of the sofa.
Most of the participants on this list had reached the Third Rank in strength, and a few were exceptional Second Rank evolvers. Lin Yuan's name was also among them.
"I don't need these."
Thunder God's expression remained calm.
He was struck by lightning in his childhood, and everyone around him died. He was the only one who survived, and his body was later modified into a body of thunder.
Casually choosing a thunder-related evolutionary path, he made rapid progress. In just a few decades, he advanced to the Third Rank. His combat power surged as he swept through enemies with summoned thunder, mastery over thunder, and transforming into thunder. Facing other evolvers, he possessed overwhelming advantages.
"Analyzing opponents is the behavior of the weak. I don't need it."
Thunder God rose slowly, walked to the window, and his eyes lit up slightly. "I've never regarded these opponents on the arena as worthy adversaries because they are all ordinary people, while I am Thunder."
Thunder God stood by the window, speaking with great confidence and assurance, his words carrying immense conviction.
