Chapter 193: Leaving Wulin Town
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After settling the two dead bodies of the Purple Crow members, Lin Huang frowned. Lin Xin could not use her identity anymore or else the Purple Crow would come to look for her again if the both of them did not return after a month. No matter which foothold they were going to, Lin Xin couldn't use her identity to book tickets. If she did, the Purple Crow could easily discover her.
Lin Huang then called Yang Ling. Yang Ling picked up his call while yawning. He looked tired.
"So have you decided on which foothold you're going to stay at?"
"No, I'd like to order a new Emperor's Heart Ring from you." Lin Huang wanted to get Lin Xin a new identity.
"Helping your friend again?" Yang Ling did not find that odd.
"I guess you can say that." Lin Huang nodded.
"No problem, which one would you like?"
"The one that costs 100 Life Crystal will be alright." Lin Xin would still have to study at the Hunter Reserve College for half a year and take the graduation assessment before furthering her studies in the prestige school. There was no need for her to use a hunter identity, she only needed the one suitable for an ordinary person.
Yang Ling nodded, "Same thing. Send me the name, age, and photo." "Do I send it to the usual address?"
"No, please send it to Snow City, I'll pick it up myself." Lin Huang had his own arrangement.
"I will send you the details later, after five o'clock."
"Sure." Yang Ling did not ask further.
"Oh yeah, can you make fake school transfer applications as well?" Lin Huang asked.
"Hardly, but it's a simple process. Let me know which school you want to transfer to and I'll make one for you for free since it's cheap." Yang Ling was generous.
"Thank you then. I will send both sets of information to you t around five o'clock."
After some hesitation, Lin Huang decided to ask Yang Ling about something that was on his mind, "There's something that I'd like to ask you…"
"Do tell." Yang Ling frowned before nodded.
"I escaped from the Purple Crow by faking my death. If they found out that I'm still alive, will they have ways to find me?" Lin Huang decided to tell Yang Ling the truth.
"Theoretically, I'm not supposed to intervene in the personal problems of my customers. I'm just the one creating fake identities for them. However, since your question is within my field of professionalism and you're my regular customer, I'll answer you this one time. As long as you do not guard the privacy of your personal details, they can find you in many ways. There are only two ways to prevent that.
One is to avoid from appearing in places that require you to scan your identity. Another would be to tighten the security settings for the privacy of your personal details.
Lin Huang frowned as he listened but decided to ask, "Which level of privacy is safe enough?"
"You'll need at least a senior executive officers rank or be on the intensive training list with the Hunter Association because the privacy setting is the same setting that senior executive officers use."
"Can you do that from your side?" Lin Huang asked while he frowned.
"I can't do it…" Yang Ling shook his head. "There's only a limited number of ways to get into intensive training or become a senior executive officer in any division. The Hunter Association's system would conduct spot checks every year. You'll be exposed easily. I suggest you use your fake identity after you've moved away."
"Is there no other way?" Lin Huang did not want to give up.
"From my experience, there's no other way." Yang Ling shook his head while he opened a page in front of Lin Huang, "Let me show you. Your identity is ranked under the regular rank in the Hunter Association. I could easily hack into the system or the Union Government's system to get your personal details…"
Just when Yang Ling was ready to show Lin Huang, he realized that he could not find anything about him, "Eh, what happened?"
"What's wrong?" Lin Huang did not understand what Yang Ling wanted to show him with the blank page.
"Hold on…" After a couple of attempts, Yang Ling still could not find anything about Lin Huang. Later on, he finally found Lin Huang's details after using a unique technique. He then looked at Lin Huang, "Hey, were you listed in the intensive training list?"
"No." Lin Huang shook his head, "I'm just a Gold Hunter, I did not pass the final review for intensive training."
"That means somebody did something to your privacy settings." Yang Ling was sure, "Your privacy has been upgraded to that of a senior executive officer's rank. People below that rank will not be able to access your details. It has been done officially as well and the person who applied this setting for you was Li Mingzheng. I didn't know that you had such a powerful background."
"Who is this Li Mingzheng? Why did he upgrade my privacy rank?" Lin Huang thought it was strange, but soon, he thought of his master Mr. Fu, "Perhaps master got somebody to do it?"
Lin Huang thought about it again, that was the only possibility. Although Mr. Fu was not a member of the Hunter Association, from the assessment, it was apparent that he was close to the Hunter Association. To protect Lin Huang, he got the association to protect his privacy. He was the only one who would do that.
"That means I don't have to be worried that the Purple Crow could find me?" Lin Huang asked.
"That right. With your privacy rank now, there's no need to worry. In the Hunter Association, only senior executive officers or people who're ranked higher than them could gain access to your details. Outsiders, Union Government included, cannot get access unless they get an approval from Li Mingzheng." Yang Ling nodded.
"You got through, are you sure others will not be able to get access?" Lin Huang was skeptical.
"Heh. It's different for me, my case is unique. Don't worry, outsiders won't be able to access your personal details unless the Purple Crow has a spy who's ranked at the senior executive level or higher. Else, they'd never find you." Yang Ling gave Lin Huang a firm answer.
Lin Huang had no idea that his privacy ranking was so high. "Alright then, I'll trust you. Thanks!"
"If that's all, I'll hang up now. Send over the details of the new identity and school transfer application as soon as you can."
"That will be all. I'll send both to you later." Replied Yang Ling.
Lin Huang felt a deep sense of relief after the phone call ended.
It was after five o'clock in the evening when Lin Xin came back from school.
"Xin Er, bring your stuff. We're leaving Wulin Town tonight." Lin Huang said to Lin Xin just as she entered.
"I thought we'd only leave a week later? I didn't even have a chance to speak to my teacher yet…" Lin Xin was shocked.
"I have gotten my friend to apply for the school transfer for you. We need to leave today." After some hesitation, Lin Huang told Lin Xin, "I offended the Purple Crow earlier. They sent somebody here looking for us, and I killed them. If we don't leave now, there'll be more people coming for us…"
"Purple Crow... From the underworld?" Lin Xin was shocked when she heard what Lin Huang said.
Lin Huang nodded, "That's the real reason why we need to move away, I didn't expect them to come so soon."
"I'll go upstairs to pack my stuff then." Lin Xin sensed the urgency and went upstairs. Lin Huang headed to his room as well. After briefing Lin Xuan, he began to pack his belongings up. He spent half an hour to get things done and managed to bring along Lin Xuan's stuff as well. Lin Xuan didn't have a lot of things to pack. It was mainly clothes and shoes as well as toys and gifts given to him by Lin Huang and Lin Xin.
Lin Huang then went to the balcony on the fourth floor and took the barbecue machine with him. As he walked down, he shut all the doors and windows. When he arrived on the first floor, he grabbed everything he needed. 10 minutes later, Lin Xin had finally finished. Seeing Lin Xin coming down, Lin Huang said, "Xin Er, transfer all your stuff into my Emperor's Heart Ring. You can't use your ring anymore or the Purple Crow will be able to track you."
"But there are so many credit points I could spend…" Lin Xin didn't want to waste any of the credit points she had.
"That's nothing, silly. The Purple Crow will find out know if you do a transfer, I can make that small amount of credits in your account in just one day." Lin Huang shook his head and smiled.
Lin Xin then placed the stuff on the couch and coffee table and Lin Huang put them away into his storage space. After everything was stored, Lin Xin took off her Emperor's Heart Ring with a heavy heart and gave it to Lin Huang. After all, she had been wearing it since the day she came to this world. Lin Huang, on the other hand, did not have any feelings towards the ring. He tossed it on the floor and crushed it.
After throwing the pieces away into the rubbish bin, the three of them left the house. Lin Xin took a good last look at their home while Lin Huang closed the door, shaking his head. He then threw a couple of trash bags into the rubbish bin at the entrance. Lin Huang turned around to look at the luxurious four-story house. He then summoned the Viridian Wolf, and the three of them headed to the east gate.
"Brother, where are we going?" Lin Xin just realized that she had no idea where they were heading.
"Let's head to Li City in foothold No.7C88." After contacting Yang Ling, Lin Huang had made all the arrangements.
"Li City? I know it's not safe in Baqi City, but this foothold is even further away from foothold No.7C86 and No.7C89!" Lin Xin could not understand.
"Yes, it's further but safer. It'll take us three days to fly there so we'll have to stay in the wild for two days." Lin Huang explained briefly.
Minutes later, they arrived outside the east gate. Lin Huang unloaded their belongings and recalled the Viridian Wolf and summoned the Alexandrian Eagle. He placed two seats on the eagle's back and got Lin Xin and Lin Xuan to ride on it. They headed Li City's direction...

Chapter 194: Arriving In Snow City
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After spending three nights in the wild zone, Lin Huang finally brought Lin Xin and Lin Xuan to foothold No.7C88 - Li City. Lin Huang used Lin Xuan, Ye Xiu and his own identity to purchase the tickets. He even chose rooms on different floors. The Purple Crow did not know about the existence of Lin Xuan and Ye Xiu was still unknown to anyone. Meanwhile, outsiders could not even identify Lin Huang. Even if the Demonic Crystal Spaceship's network got hacked, they could not gain access to Lin Huang's identity and purchase history. They wouldn't be able to find Lin Huang's name.
Their spaceship would depart three days later, the three of them could take a good rest during that period. It was torture for Lin Xin to stay in the wild zone earlier. After picking a hotel near the plaza where the spaceship docked, Lin Huang used Ye Xiu's identity to register the room. He then brought the both of them in.
It was a suite with three bedrooms where each of them could get one bedroom of their own. Lin Huang was relieved. While staying in the hotel, he finally got the time to reevaluate the battle videos. Meanwhile, Lin Xin and Lin Xuan tried not to head outside and they would only order takeaway food. During the three days in Li City, they only went out with Lin Huang twice.
On the fourth morning, the spaceship landed on the plaza. After breakfast; Lin Huang brought the both of them to board the spacecraft. He passed Ye Xiu's Emperor's Heart Ring to Lin Xin, the three of them boarded the spaceship successfully. The non-VIP rooms in the spaceship only had one living room and one bedroom. Lin Xin slept in the bedroom on her own while Lin Huang moved the small bed for children out for Lin Xuan; Lin Huang slept on the couch in the living room.
It would take 16 days to arrive in Snow City from Li City, and it would be New Year's Eve when they finally got there. During the 16 days on the spaceship, Lin Huang immersed himself in the battle videos. However, he didn't enter the arena. Concerned about Lin Xin and Lin Xuan; he couldn't get into the mood for a battle.
Meanwhile, Lin Xuan did not know what was happening while he immersed himself in Gun Master. Ever since he gotten his account access into the exclusive zone for hunters; he was even more enthusiastic in playing the game as he would always encounter a professional that he could learn from.
Besides eating and sleeping, he spent all his time in the game. Although Lin Xin was aware that trouble was coming to them, she chose to trust Lin Huang. She spent most of the time on her homework as she knew the learning standard in a B-grade foothold would be higher than a D-grade foothold. Her result in the Hunter Reserve College was outstanding, but it would not be easy to attain the same results at a school in a B-grade foothold.
During the 16 days; Lin Huang managed to watch all the battle videos of players ranked from 6th to 3rd. He could have observed and learned more, but the spaceship landed safely in Snow City as expected even when it was snowing outside. After getting off the ship; Lin Huang brought the both of them to the delivery company to pick up the package from Yang Ling before checking into the hotel. Lin Xin's new identity was Ling Xue; she gave herself that name. Coming up with the backstory of being an aboriginal from Snow City.
Lin Xin was cheerful wearing her new Emperor's Heart Ring while watching the snow falling from the sky. Lin Xuan looked just as happy watching the snowflakes fall to the window. It seemed like it was his first time seeing snow.
"Alright, stop blocking the way you two. If we stay here, there will still be many chances in the future for both of you to look at snow." Lin Huang got them to walk faster to the hotel.
When they entered the hotel room, the both of them ran straight to the balcony and refused to go back in.
"You guys can stay here to watch the snow, just don't catch a cold." Lin Huang then placed a sweater on both of them and returned to the living room. Looking at the falling snow from the transparent window, Lin Huang was stunned. It had been years since Lin Huang had last seen snow like this. He studied at the Northeastern University; had never returned to the place since he graduated.
The sound of boiling water woke him up from his nap. "Are you guys done? Come inside and drink some hot tea!" he told the two kids.
He took three cups from the side along with the tea leaves; making three cups of tea. The two of them ignored Lin Huang and remained on the balcony; gazing at the snow. "If the both of you refuse to come in, I'll have to make you! Three, two…"
Lin Xin and Lin Xuan returned to the living room almost immediately, taking the tea from Lin Huang and sitting on the couch warming their hands with the hot drink.
Moments later, Lin Xin took a sip of the tea when it was not so hot anymore. "Brother, I like it here. Let's stay in Snow City!"
Lin Huang smiled, he did not expect Lin Xin to have such a great impression on the city and decide so quickly.
"Xiao Xuan, your sister likes it here. What about you?" Lin Huang then looked at Lin Xuan.
"It's good." Lin Xuan nodded immediately. He seemed to be mesmerized by the snow.
"Alright then, so this is it. We shall stay in Snow City!" Lin Huang nodded.
Seeing that Lin Xin and Lin Xuan ran to the balcony again after sipping their tea, Lin Huang went into the room and called Yang Ling. He was the same man who looked like he had not slept for days with bed hair and clothes that resembled a homeless person.
"So have you received the stuff that I sent you?" Yang Ling asked while yawning.
"Yes, I just got it thanks!" Lin Huang nodded.
Although Yang Ling looked clumsy, he was trustworthy.
"What else do you need from me? Have you decided on which foothold you'd like to stay at?" Yang Ling asked.
"I've decided yes, Snow City it is." Lin Huang smiled and nodded.
"How much would that be?"
"Snow City is good. It's considered one of the hottest tourists spots during the winter season. It'll be 16,000 but if you can pay me the full amount, I can give it to you at 15,000. If you'd like to pay by installment, you'll need to pay the full amount but there won't be any interest." Yang Ling told Lin Huang directly without beating around the bush.
"I'll pay for it by installment then since I don't have much on hand." Lin Huang felt helpless as he had never bought anything by installments before. Even when he had a credit card on earth, he would always pay whatever he'd spent at once without any delay. However, he had no choice this time.
"Sure, I'll send it to you once I get it later. Since the sum is quite significant, try to pay me every month and I'll give you 12 months to pay it off." Yang Ling did not even bother to come up with a contract with Lin Huang and hung up the phone.
Three to five minutes later, Lin Huang received a message without any words but only an attachment. Lin Huang downloaded the attachment immediately. It was a three-dimensional white token. It was the residential token which represented one's right to claim residence in Snow City. He tapped on the token, Ye Xiu's identity was displayed along with the residential area Snow City.
"It'll be New Year's Eve two days later. I'll pick a house today and purchase it tomorrow then move in straight away for New Year."
After making the arrangement, Lin Huang called out to Lin Xin and Lin Xuan.
"It'll be New Year's the day after tomorrow. The both of you have a mission today - which is to choose a couple of houses from the network. You'll have to get it done by today as we'll be looking at the houses tomorrow. If any of them are suitable, we'll buy it and live there. We can't be staying in a hotel on New Year's Eve. We should be staying at our house!" Lin Huang said to the both of them.
They nodded and started browsing the Heart Network. Lin Huang was browsing too; he told the both of them that their mission was to see what kind of houses they liked. A couple of hours passed and all three of them were still looking at houses on the couch. Lin Huang had picked a couple of them that he liked, he then asked the both of them, "So have you guys found anything yet?"
"They're all so expensive…" Lin Xin was upset. She saw some that she liked but she did not pick them as they were too expensive.
"Don't look at the price, just show me those that you like." The cost of houses in a B-grade foothold was considered expensive to ordinary people. However, it was nothing to hunters.
Lin Huang then looked at Lin Xuan, "Xiao Xuan, show me those that you picked."
Lin Xuan nodded and showed Lin Huang the houses that he picked. He didn't consider factors such as price; he only chose those that he liked. While Lin Huang looked at the pictures, Lin Xin join too. She was stunned to see that all of the houses Lin Xuan picked were all above 100 million credit points.
Lin Huang nodded as he was satisfied with the houses that Lin Xuan picked, two of them were to his liking.
"Xin Er, is there any that you like from what Lin Xuan picked?" Lin Huang asked Lin Xin and added, "Don't worry about the price."
"They all seem so good, but these two houses are my favorite!" Lin Xin pointed at the two that she liked, Lin Huang picked one of them as well. The other was similar to the house that they stayed in Wulin Town. It was a three-story single resort which was much larger with an extra courtyard.
"Sure, we'll take a look at these three houses tomorrow!" Lin Huang picked the house that looked like a resort and another two that he liked.

Chapter 195: Buying A House
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After picking three houses, Lin Huang brought Lin Xin and Lin Xuan to the real estates riding on the Alexandrian Eagle. It was one of the houses that all three of them had chosen, located in the far north of Snow City. As they rode on the eagle, Lin Huang frowned; he thought the location was too remote. He noticed on the map that the house was away from the city center, but he did not expect it to be so far away. It was at least 20 kilometers away from the city. The further they traveled north the fewer buildings there were.
There were not many houses in the area as there were less than 40 units. The eagle landed at the entrance of the sales building. "Brother, this location is a little too far away…" Lin Xin said to him.
"I think so too but since we're here, let's take a look anyway." Lin Huang smiled.
A man in a suit approached them as they talked. Seeing the Alexandrian Eagle, the man had a big smile plastered on his face.
"I believe you guys are here to see the house?" The man said, "We don't have many of them here, there are a total of 36 houses of nine different styles with different decorations…"
The man did not stop talking and he managed to convince Lin Xin with his flamboyant words.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang listened quietly. He had to admit that the man was good at persuading. After the man was done talking, Lin Huang said, "Bring us to the one with the best environment then."
"Sure please give me a minute, I'll get a couple of camel monsters here." The man said.
"No need for that, we have our own." Lin Huang then summoned the Viridian Wolf.
The man noticed that Lin Huang did not use a monster taming token when he recalled the Alexandrian Eagle. When Lin Huang summoned the Viridian Wolf without a taming token, the man was sure that Lin Huang was an Imperial Censor.
The three of them rode on the Viridian Wolf while the man took out a monster taming token and summoned a Camel Monster. The Camel Monster was a common monster which was not even iron-level. It looked like a camel but was more prominent in size without a hump. This beast was slow but it was strong. Usually, people would use them as transport. The Camel Monster had golden hair and was quite glorious but when it saw the Viridian Wolf, it was shaking in its knees.
The Viridian Wolf glared at the Camel Monster. Lin Huang noticed that too and said to the man, "You can lead the way, we'll follow behind."
The man apologized and led the Camel Monster to walk in front of them. Only when the Camel Monster lost sight of the wolf did it return to normal. The man then got on the Camel Monster and Lin Huang followed the man on the Viridian Wolf with his family.
The Viridian Wolf was playful, so it started to chase after the Camel Monster. Seven to eight minutes later, the man attempted to stop the beast from running but the Camel Monster refused to listen. Instead, it started running even faster.
"Stop! Stop right now!"
Seeing that shouting did not work, the man turned around and said to Lin Huang, "You guys should stop here. This is the unit you're looking for; please give me a minute and I'll be back soon!"
Lin Huang then patted the Viridian Wolf to get it to stop running. The three of them got down from the wolf and looked at the villa. From the outside, it looked quite unique. A short while later, the man came back to the villa with his clothes in a mess. "I'm so sorry for the delay. My Camel Monster can be easily frightened sometimes…"
"Don't worry about it, let's take a look at the house." Lin Huang nodded and smiled.
The man tucked in his shirt and brought the three of them into the villa.
"This unit located in the middle of all the villas is among our four best units that we have, which also happens to have the best environment. There's a garden in front and behind the environment. The main building was a triple-story building attached to a double-story building on the other side. There was an open-air garden on the third floor..."
After a simple introduction, the man opened the door with his ID card and brought the three of them into the house.
"It's such a big living room!" Lin Xin exclaimed as she walked in. The living room was not spacious, it had a porch with an overhang that was more than 10 meters high.
"We have taken the solidity of the building into consideration, so we designed the porch to be 15-meters high. There are two parts to the living room which includes the front portion, and when you walk further in you'll see the main living room. The height of the living room will be 3.5 meters…"
The man explained as they looked at the villa. When they arrived at the balcony on the third floor, they were amazed by the glacial mountains facing the balcony.
"There are two balconies in this house. As we are located in the north, we can see the north glacial wall directly…"
The north glacial wall referred to the glacial mountains that they were looking at. The mountains were divided the north and south zones of Division7. At the north side of the glacial wall, winter would last at six months while the south had the usual four season.
Although the glacial wall was tens of thousands of kilometers long, it only occupied a small part of the east side of Division7. The weather on the northeast side was different from other areas which meant that the glacial walls were unique to this area, making it a unique view. Standing on the balcony, Lin Xin seemed to be convinced. However, Lin Huang was being realistic when he said, "I guess this is more like a holiday villa. If we were to stay here permanently, it would not be ideal."
"We have thought of that as well, which is why the amenities are complete. However, as a whole, this is indeed, more like a holiday villa. Of course, it'd perfect for those who enjoy peace and quiet." The man said.
"The environment outside, the style and design inside including the view of the glacial mountains are perfect but… It's just a little too remote." Lin Huang voiced his concern. He was satisfied with the house, but it was too far from the city.
Lin Huang did not enjoy noise but living in solitary was not ideal as well. After all, humans were social animals; it would not be healthy for them to avoid social contact for extended periods of time. Lin Huang had no problem with that as he would not be staying at home most of the time but he was concerned about Lin Xin and Lin Xuan.
They then left the place on the Alexandrian Eagle to the second location. The second house was chosen by Lin Huang and Lin Xuan. Located in the middle of the foothold, it was front and center in the busiest area in the city. However, it was not a villa but a high-rise condominium instead. The unit was huge; measuring about 1,200 square meters and it came fully furnished with a variety of amenities.
Lin Huang and Lin Xuan were satisfied with the house, but not Lin Xin.
"This is good but something seems to be lacking... It doesn't feel like a home… It feels more like a hotel room." Lin Xin commented. Lin Huang thought about it and agreed with Lin Xin.
"Let's take a look at the last one then!"
They left the second house and headed to the third location. It was a villa located in the east of Snow City. There were more than 80 villas in the area but the size of this unit was much smaller than the one they saw in the first location. Arriving at the sales building, they were treated warmly by the sales person was a lady in her late teenage years. She seemed to be a sweet lady.
"This area is considered to be the second most popular location in the city. There are many other luxurious areas around and the area is quite safe. That aside, we have everything close by which includes the Credit Bureau, hospitals, a garden, supermarkets, delivery companies and street food. They're all within two kilometers and you'll be able to get there by feet..."
"It's pretty busy here, have many people purchased the units already?" Lin Huang smiled and asked.
"Yes, we've just started selling the units a few days back. We've already sold more than 60 units so there aren't many left available." The salesperson smiled.
"However, the price for the units isn't cheap at all. Are most of the buyers... Hunters?" Lin Huang asked.
"Some of them are hunters and some of them are businessmen. Since there are hunters here, it would be safer, that's one of the reasons why more businessmen are willing to pay a premium to stay here." The sales person said.
"I understand now. Please bring us to your best unit." Lin Huang did not want to look for more houses anymore. Since this place was complete with amenities, he planned to purchase it on the spot if it was suitable.
Soon they arrived at the villa, it was a triple-story villa with a courtyard. There were balconies on the second and third floor. There was nothing to shout about as it was much smaller than the first villa they saw. However, Lin Xin seemed to like it a lot. They entered the villa and saw the living room which was at least three times bigger than the house they used to stay in Wulin Town. It gave Lin Huang a good impression.
"The floor, wardrobes, cabinets, dining tables and chairs were made from Pandora trees while the rest of the furniture was designed by a celebrity designer…"
"There are three floors in this villa. It's 180 square meters on the first floor. The most spacious floor would be the second floor which is 230 square meters as there's a huge balcony and the third floor has two mini balconies, measuring the entire floor at about 200 square meters…"
Soon they had seen the entire villa. Lin Huang realized that the house was not as small as he thought, just that it wasn't as glamorous as the first villa that they saw. It was much more homey than the second condominium.
"What do you think?" Lin Huang looked at Lin Xin and Lin Xuan.
"I love it!" Lin Xin nodded and smiled, she would prefer a house that was smaller like the one they used to stay in. Lin Xuan nodded too.
"Alright then, this is it!" Lin Huang made up his mind.

Chapter 196: New Year's Eve
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Someone on Earth once said that a man's ultimate goal would be to live in a big house, drive big cars and marry a beautiful woman! Holding the key to his new house, Lin Huang had achieved one of them, which was to live in a big house! The house was 510-meter square and it cost 110 million credit points, which was almost 220,000 credit points per square meter. It was considered a luxurious house and even a rich man would have to think twice about it. However, such a price was nothing for a hunter.
100 million credit points were equivalent to 1,000 years of Life Crystal pieces, which were only 10 complete Life Crystals. A hunter such as Lin Huang could make that money back anytime he wanted. He was worried that the residential permit would not be approved when he purchased the house but it was. He registered the house under Lin Xin's new identity - Ling Xue.
They moved into the house right away after the payment was done. They did not even return to the hotel as Lin Huang checked-out from the hotel online. He booked the hotel room for three days but they only stayed for a day, the hotel refunded him immediately. On the first floor of the house was a living room, an open kitchen, and two bathrooms. There were three bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second floor. One of the bedrooms was bigger, it was for Lin Huang while the two bedrooms were of the same size. Lin Xin and Lin Xuan each got a room. Lin Xuan finally had a room to himself.
The balcony on the second floor was spacious, it was connected to the three bedrooms. It was Lin Xin's favorite. On the third floor was a huge study room and two guest rooms with mini balconies. There were also a small storeroom and a bathroom. The floor was empty at the moment. After moving all the stuff out from his storage space, it officially became their new home.
"It'll be New Year's Eve in two days, let's clean up the house today and buy the stuff tomorrow morning! Give me a list of what you guys would like to eat and buy or you might forget by tomorrow." Lin Huang said to the both of them.
New Year's Eve was the biggest festival in this world. There were two calendars in the world, one was the Gregorian calendar which was commonly used, while the other one is the ancient perpetual calendar. The Gregorian calendar was the calendar that was modified after the new era while the perpetual calendar was inherited since the ancient era.
Since the new era, many things were changed in this world. Even the cultivation system was different than before. However, festivities such as the New Year's Eve remained. The festival was similar to the New Year that was celebrated on Earth. The families would prepare snacks such as dried fruits, candies, as well as meat, fish and other foods. The kids were allowed to not eat vegetables during the festival and they would not be punished by their parents.
Besides that, there would be all sorts of red items sold on the streets including lanterns and knitted goods. The color red represented a brand new year and hoping for new breakthroughs in life. During the New Year's Eve, the elders would buy gifts for the kids while adults would buy gifts for the elders. It was not a friendly gesture but rather as a form of appreciation. Kids were the happiest during this festival. However, the adults would have to spend…
It was the first New Year's Eve that Lin Huang would be celebrating ever since he arrived in this world. Although he had fond memories of the festival, it was not the same in this world. At night, after churning out a list of his own and receiving Lin Xin and Lin Xuan's list, he went to bed.
In the morning, Lin Huang brought them both out shopping. The streets were filled with the ambiance of the festivity where red lanterns were hung on the doorways of shops as well as calligraphy. The calligraphy was similar to the couplets on Earth. However, in this world the calligraphy functions as a decoration with no symbolic meaning
It was the first time for Lin Xin and Lin Xuan to do New Year's shopping, they were excited. Although it was Lin Huang's first time shopping in this world too, he was calm since he had done it numerous times on Earth.
"Brother, that lantern is so pretty!"
"Let's buy that!"
"Brother, that calligraphy is so pretty!"
"Let's buy that!"
"Brother, that doll is so pretty!"
"Let's buy that!"
For the things that she wanted, Lin Xin would say, "That … is so pretty," whereas Lin Xuan would hint to Lin Huang the things that he wanted, by standing in front of the shops. After shopping for the entire morning, Lin Huang only managed to buy presents for the two. Not much on the list was crossed off. The good thing was, everything could be kept inside the storage space, which made shopping easier.
After lunch, the two were excited and wanted to shop again. Lin Huang shook his head.
"We should buy everything on the list first before we start buying the other stuff. New Year's Eve would be the day after tomorrow, we have other stuff to do tomorrow."
The two nodded, they knew they could always come back to do more shopping as the shopping streets were just a kilometer away from home.
In the afternoon, Lin Huang spent a couple of hours purchasing all the items on the list. After dinner, Lin Huang accompanied the both of them to shop. They returned home at night after 10. Lin Huang went straight to bed after his shower, he thought shopping for the entire day was even more tiring than fighting monsters in the tower during the Purple Crow training camp.
The next day, Lin Huang woke them both up early in the morning. It was a day before New Year's Eve. After breakfast, Lin Huang took out all the decorations that they bought yesterday and started decorating their rooms. They managed to finish by noon. Lin Huang placed some snacks and fruits on the living room's coffee table. They went shopping again in the afternoon. Lin Huang did not want to go initially but he did not want them to go on their own.
A day passed just like that. It was New Year's Eve. In the morning, Lin Huang made a dinner reservation at a highly recommended hotel nearby. He then placed the gifts for Lin Xin and Lin Xuan at a side in the living room. When they woke up, they neither brush their teeth nor washed their faces. They began opening their presents. These were all the stuff that they had wanted from shopping, there were 50 to 60 items.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang sat on the couch and watched them open the presents. He did not have any siblings on Earth, it was pure bliss for him to be able to do this. With his maturity, they could even be his own children. He was not worried that he might spoil them as he could be strict with them when necessary.
It started snowing as they were opening their presents. Lin Huang got up and lit up the black rock in the furnace. He bought that two days ago, it was similar to charcoal on Earth. As it was pure mineral, it would burn slowly in the fire to release heat and emit a red glow. Seeing that the furnace was fired up, both of them moved their presents in front of the furnace and continued unwrapping. When they were done, they were asked to wash up before breakfast. As they were brushing their teeth, they noticed that the snow was getting stronger.
After breakfast, the both of them played with the snow in the courtyard. As Lin Huang leaned on the door with his cup of tea, Lin Xin threw a snowball at him. Lin Huang smiled and dodged it, Lin Xuan followed Lin Xin as well. They started a snowball fight where Lin Xin and Lin Xuan threw snowballs at him while Lin Huang dodged all of them. Soon, Lin Huang noticed that the snowballs that were tossed by Lin Xuan were getting faster and faster. He seemed to apply the skill he obtained from Gun Master onto the snowballs.
Half an hour later, Lin Xuan's snowball managed to hit Lin Huang.
"Alright, I surrender. You guys should go in now." Lin Huang raised his hands and got them both back into the house. The both of them sat on the floor before the furnace while eating snacks. Lin Xuan did not want to eat any nuts or fruits, he did not even want to eat candies. Lin Huang prepared dried meat for him.
At night, dinner was served. The three of them sat together on the dining table with a delicious meal to celebrate the end of the year. Snow was falling, the fire was bright in the house. The shiny rock reflected onto the ceiling like a starry night…
"This New Year's Eve isn't that bad at all…" Lin Huang smiled as he watched the both of them enjoying their dinner.

Chapter 197: Yu Moli
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After finishing up some minor errands, Lin Huang could finally focus on the mission that was set by Mr. Fu. A month had passed and Lin Huang did not have much time left as he was supposed to complete the mission in two months. Everything would go as planned if he managed to maintain his winning streak, but if he were to lose one battle or meet a draw, he would have to start from square one.
He was only left with battle videos from two individuals. One was the person who ranked No.1, Yu Moli and the other was ranked No.2, Ebonella. As Lin Huang played the video, he found out that Ebonella was a lady. She was not only a lady, but a gorgeous young lady. She looked like she was only 16 or 17, but she was at least 1.7 meters tall. She had a unique weapon, it was a black umbrella.
After watching a couple of her battles, Lin Huang noticed that it was a special weapon which could morph into different things including a defensive item, a firearm, a spear, a sword and even a short blade. It was the most versatile weapon which could morph interchangeably into different forms that Lin Huang had ever seen. The lady was outstanding as she professionally mastered all the five forms. The change from one form to another was flawless.
"This lady really is something!" Lin Huang spent a couple of days watching all of her videos, he could not find any flaws in them. It was not because it was flawless but was because she managed to cover up her flaws as she switches between the different forms of the umbrella. She could trick her opponents with her flaws and lures them into her traps. However, with Lin Huang's vision skills, he could not tell if those were her actual flaws or traps that she had set up.
"She's only No.2, what could No.1 be?"
From the videos, Lin Huang knew very well that he might not be able to win if he encountered an opponent like this lady. However, Yu Moli who ranked No.1 had accumulated more than 160,000 points, five times more than No.2. This made Lin Huang curious, wanting to find out more about this person.
"Why does this nickname sounds like a real name?" Lin Huang activated the arena and looked for the person. He then found out that the guy was using his actual name in the game.
Yu Moli was royalty from the Yu family. He was the most outstanding one among the younger generation in his family and possessed the abilities of a genius. Although he was only silver-level rank-3, his abilities were even more powerful than someone who was gold-level rank-3. He did not even bother to use a nickname in the game.
"He looks like an obnoxious person. Everybody calls him a genius, he must be really powerful." Lin Huang proceeded to watch the first video of Yu Moli.
Lin Huang was stunned as Yu Moli launched his first attack. There was a purple flame coming out from his hand and it looked like a real flame. To be able to create such a realistic flame with Life Power meant that one would have to at least be holy fire-level. No matter how powerful one's Life Power was, people on holy fire-level would not be able to do such a thing.
"How does he do that?" Lin Huang watched curiously.
His opponent was immediately killed with the flame. Lin Huang was shocked at what he just saw.
"How is that even possible! Although Life Power contained elemental attributes, it'll still be limited by the nature of Life Power if one is only at holy fire-level. It's impossible to manifest the full elemental attribute. Fire element Life Power should only give out heat and it's impossible to kill someone with flame like that!"
Still in doubt, Lin Huang logged onto the Hunter Info Network to look for information about Yu Moli. It was much more detailed than the one he saw on Hunter Arena. After reading everything, Lin Huang finally understood how Yu Moli manage to do something like that. When he was killing a monster, he obtained an additional Life Seed monster which granted him the monster's purple flame ability. Under usual circumstances, the possibility of such an occurrence was low as the Life Seed would usually go into one's body together with Life Light when one leveled up. When a monster was killed, the Life Seed in the monster would fade away together with its Life Light instead of entering the human body.
However, there were people with unique body types which could absorb the Life Seed from certain monsters. After killing the monster, the Life Seed would be absorbed into the human body. Such Life Seeds would not transform into one's talent and instead, the person would obtain a random monster skill. It was similar to Lin Huang's skill extraction but it was rare, as only 1% of the people would have this ability. Yu Moli was one of the few lucky ones who could obtain a monster skill from a Life Seed.
Lin Huang did not know that others could obtain monster skills as well. He would always avoid letting others know about his skill and he did not even dare to use Blood Spirit as he did not want them to think that he was a monster. After reading about Yu Moli, Lin Huang knew that he did not have to hide any longer. He would only be labeled as a lucky person by everybody else.
"Seems like I can use my Blood Spirit wings since others would think its Blood Power anyway." Lin Huang inherited the Blood Spirit wings from Bai, a powerful ability. With the help of the wings, he was even thinking of attempting to challenge someone on gold-level rank-3.
Lin Huang spent the following days watching all of Yu Moli's battle videos. After evaluating his own, Lin Huang realized that Yu Moli's battle strategies were the least useful ones among the top 10. He only relied on his flames to kill his opponents and did not display any other abilities at all. The flame could be activated with just a slight amount of Life Power, which was about the same amount as what Lin Huang's Blood Spirit wings would need. This was the benefit of a monster skill; it drained only minimal amounts of Life Power. That was the reason why Yu Moli was able to use his flame like it was nobody's business. He mastered the ability and was able to bring the flames up to high temperatures which allowed him to kill his opponents easily no matter who they were.
"It's no wonder he managed to accumulate so many points. With such an ability, no ordinary person could even think of defeating him." Lin Huang finally knew how Yu Moli accumulated the points - He never lost!
Lin Huang spent another two days to conclude and digest all the information that he managed to get.
Later, Lin Huang logged onto Hunter Arena again…

Chapter 198: The Second Keeper
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Since his 50 winning streaks, Lin Huang did not log into the Hunter Arena for almost a month. Many noticed that he signed in again. There was a [Follow] button in the arena which would notify you if the person you're following came online. The same thing would happen if the person you were following entered the arena, you would receive a notification and you could choose to watch the battle immediately.
Ever since his win-streak, his followers had increased from less than 500 to more than 300,000 people. Most of them were the people of silver-level rank-3 on the sixth floor. Besides those who were in battles at the moment, the 100,000 followers who were online received the same notification.
"The person 'Sword Genius' that you are following is online now!"
It started a discussion.
"Sword Genius is online?! I thought he would quit after his 50-win streak!"
"Finally! He's making a comeback after so long!"
"I knew he wouldn't stop at his 50-win streak. Even if he didn't manage to #1, he'd at least want to be top 10!"
"He must be here to challenge further. I must watch him live this time!"
Standing in the sixth floor in the arena, Lin Huang was stunned at the number of his fans. He knew that came from his 50 winning streaks.
"330,000 fans, seems like I'm not that far away from getting a blue tick…" Lin Huang teased himself and pressed the challenge button. Soon, he was send onto an empty arena. The moment he entered the arena, tens of thousands of people entered the room within seconds and ithin three seconds, the room was filled with 50,000 people.
Lin Huang just noticed that the room was much bigger than the previous one. The challenge room Lin Huang was sent before he achieved his 50-win streak could only contain 10,000 people, it was the standard arena. After the 50-win streak, the arena got an upgrade. Fortunately, the size of the ring remained the same or Lin Huang might not be able to adapt in such a short period of time.
His opponent was sent at an instant, it was a young man who dressed like an ancient scholar with an ink-painted fan in his hand.
"Is this cosplay…" Lin Huang was speechless when he saw his opponent's attire. Meanwhile, the opponent was shocked at the amount of people who were watching. He was so shocked that he dropped his fan.
Soon he noticed that he was unfortunate that he was randomly sent to fight a powerful opponent. He then looked at Lin Huang's scoreboard.
"Sword Genius?!" The man finally knew who he was encountering. The name had been a hot topic since a month ago.
"I never expected to be sent to the genius who managed to achieve a 50-win streak, this is his first battle after disappearing for a month…"
The man was in great pressure. Lin Huang was stunned when he looked at his scoreboard.
"Nickname: Great Pressure From A Mountain of Books"
"Combat Strength: Silver-Level Rank-3"
"Battle Count: 1502"
"Accumulated Points: 1321"
"Winning Percentage: 71%"
"What's with your nickname?" Lin Huang asked.
"I wanted to call myself Scholar but it was already taken. So I changed it to 'Scholar In Great Pressure' but the system mistaken it as 'Mountain of Books'. I pressed the confirm button too fast and that's how my name came about." The man seemed upset.
"Ahh okay…" Lin Huang thought he met another traveler.
As they finished talking, the countdown ended.
"You go first." Lin Huang said to him as he knew the opponent would not have a chance to attack him if Lin Huang was to attack first.
"I surrender!" The man raised his hand and surrendered. It was the first time Lin Huang encountered someone who surrendered at the first moment, he did not expect him to do that.
Soon, the man's body disintegrated and disappeared from the ring. Lin Huang's second opponent was sent onto the wrong arena; his name was 'Sword In-Training'. Even after he was picked to fight Lin Huang, he was not afraid. Instead, he was excited. However, he was killed within the first three seconds and was sent out from the ring. The crowd was quite chaotic as most of them watching Lin Huang fight live for the first time, which proved the rumors they to be true. Many of them imagined themselves as Lin Huang's opponents and figured they would have died too.
After revealing his ability in the second battle, most of the people no longer doubted his abilities any longer. As the third and fourth opponents were killed with one hit, nobody dared to doubt Lin Huang.
"He's so powerful!"
"He's killing people like he's cutting vegetables…"
"Marry me, master!" A hunk with beard shouted.
"You sure about that?" A bunch of people glared at him.
Nine battles in, Lin Huang had won all of them without even breaking a sweat. Aside from the first battle where his opponent surrendered, he managed to kill the other eight opponents with just one hit. He was already at a 59-win streak. Who could be the keeper of the 60th battle?! Many were anticipating that answer. Although the arena did not reveal information regarding the 60th keeper, everybody knew that the keeper after the 50th win-streak would get increasingly more powerful. It was an unspoken rule.
When Lin Huang was on his 50th battle, his opponent was 'Master White' who ranked No.18. Now that it was the 60th battle, it was likely that he would face someone who was ranked even higher than 'Master White'.
"Who would it be?" Everyone had the same question.
After the 59th challenger's body disintegrated from the ring, the crowd went silent. There was not even cheering for Lin Huang's win. Everyone stared at the ring without blinking, waiting for the appearance of the keeper.
Meanwhile, Lin Huang remained standing, without any expression on his face. He knew very well that the keeper would be much more powerful than 'Master White' and soon, a person was sent onto the ring.
The person was covered in an intense white glow which made him look like the main focus of the ring. That was the usual entrance gimmick of the keeper.
The crowd could only tell that it was a man. Nobody could see his face clearly due to the intense white glow. Soon, as the glow faded away, the features of the keeper were finally showing…
"It's Feng Wu!" Someone among the crowd recognized him in an instant.

Chapter 199: Feng Wu
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Feng Wu ranked No.11 on the sixth floor of the arena and was a sword expert like Lin Huang. It was unsure if it was arranged by the system on purpose but the battle was between two sword experts. Before Feng Wu appeared, many in the crowd knew that the keeper of the battle would not be anyone from the top 10. Instead, it would be someone from No. 11 to No.17. Many of them had guessed that it would be Feng Wu. If Lin Huang achieved a 60-win streak, the keeper would have to be one of the people in the top 10. The appearance of Feng Wu implied that if Lin Huang managed to defeat him, it would be more difficult for Lin Huang to win in the future.
Lin Huang looked at Feng Wu's scoreboard.
"Nickname: Feng Wu"
"Combat Strength: White Silver-Level Rank-3"
"Battle Count: 4208"
"Accumulated Points: 10569"
"Winning Percentage: 93%"
Lin Huang did not know Feng Wu. However, there were only 12 people who managed to obtain more than 10,000 points on the leaderboard. He saw Feng Wu's name ranked at No.11. However, Lin Huang neither knew what weapon Feng Wu nor did he know his combat style but he was not afraid of him. In reality, when Lin Huang saw Feng Wu's name, what crossed his mind was not his name, but the fact that his nickname actually sounded like an actual name.
As expected, Feng Wu was his real name. The reason why he decided to use his actual name was different from the obnoxious Yu Moli. He tried using four to five nicknames unsuccessfully when he was registering. After several tries, he did not bother to come up with a nickname anymore so he decided to use his real name instead. Feng Wu had battled with Master White at least once. Although he had never lost, he knew Master White's ability very well.
Knowing that Master White was killed by Lin Huang in one hit during his time as a keeper, he downloaded the battle video immediately. He was surprised to see how Lin Huang used his sword. As a sword expert himself, Feng Wu could see that Lin Huang was a true sword master. That was what Feng Wu had been dreaming of before he leveled up to transcendent. A normal sword expert could usually master a sword skill after he was at holy fire-level. One who managed to master it before getting to transcendent would be a great talent while those who manage to master it before even getting to gold-level like Lin Huang would be considered to be a genius.
In the name of researching Lin Huang's sword skills, Feng Wu downloaded all Lin Huang's battle videos. He then realized that Lin Huang did not use his sword at all before his encounter with Master White. He wasted his points downloading those videos. However, Feng Wu did not give up. He had been following Sword Genius in the arena so that he would be able to watch him live as soon as he started a battle. Nobody knew Lin Huang would not even log into the arena for a month. He was excited to see Sword Genius not only sign-in but start a battle as well. However, he failed to enter the ring as there were no seats remaining…
Just when he was thinking of ways to get himself in, Feng Wu was sent into the ring as the keeper of Lin Huang's 60-win streak. He was over the moon. Lin Huang had chills going down his spine when he saw Feng Wu looking at him passionately, "He's not gay, is he…."
"Erm… Sword Genius, could we please be best friends?" Feng Wu asked before the countdown ended.
Lin Huang had his guard up and declined, "I don't swing that way."
Although people in the ring could not hear the sound outside, everything that happened in the ring could be heard loud and clear outside. The crowd heard everything that they were saying in the ring and most of them were puzzled.
"Feng Wu humbled himself to show kindness, this Sword Genius is arrogant!"
"Who does he think he is? How dare he said that to Feng Wu?!"
"He could totally do that. It's not like Feng Wu had never battled with Master White in the past but has he ever killed Master White in one hit like Sword Genius did?! Feng Wu probably knew that he could not defeat Sword Genius so he wanted Sword Genius to show him mercy."
"True powerful men are all weird. Perhaps Sword Genius has poor social skills because he only focused on training his swords. It's normal that he rejected Feng Wu."
Many thought Lin Huang was arrogant for rejecting Feng Wu offer to be best friends with him. However, some of them supported Lin Huang. Feng Wu was stunned at the rejection. He thought about it and it was truly an absurd move. It was normal that Lin Huang had his guard up and rejected him. He smiled awkwardly and shook his head, the silver-level weapon ring on his hand transforming itself into a battle sword.
Seeing the battle sword, Lin Huang recalled that he had seen Feng Wu's battle with Master White before. He noticed that Feng Wu's sword was unique as the sword's body was long and thin. From that, Lin Huang could tell that he was a sword expert that focused on speed. However, when Lin Huang was watching the video, he did not notice the name of the person nor his appearance. He only managed to connect the dots when he saw the sword.
"This is the guy…" Lin Huang was impressed by Feng Wu's sword skill because he was one among the few people who actually managed to defeat Master White. Master White had the advantage in speed which allowed him to launch his attack before his opponents in most battles. However, Feng Wu's speed was not much slower than his. Master White's speed did not affect Feng Wu much. Rather, it was the other way round as Master White was affected by Feng Wu's attack rhythm, causing him to lose.
"Stunning sword skills, lightning speed, amazing rhythm." That was Lin Huang's comments for Feng Wu when he watched the video. However, now that he was standing in the same arena as Feng Wu, he had the confidence to win. He smirked as he transformed the silver weapon ring on his middle finger into a silver-level battle sword. The sword seemed ordinary, like it was something readily available on the market.
The countdown ended.
Feng Wu leaped and plunged towards Lin Huang at a terrifying speed…

Chapter 200: Sword Genius Versus Feng Wu
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Feng Wu launched his attack like a lion attacking a rabbit. Feng Wu was taught since young never to underestimate his opponents. Not only that, Lin Huang regarded him as a ferocious beast instead of a helpless little lamb. Lin Huang was ready as he was more alert than ever. What was happening in the ring was nothing like what the crowd had expected.
Feng Wu was the keeper that was supposed to stop Lin Huang's progress. Theoretically, Lin Huang should be attacking. However, it was the other way around. As the countdown ended, Feng Wu seized the opportunity to attack first. It looked like Feng Wu was the fighter while Lin Huang was the keeper…
It was nothing out of the ordinary for the both of them in the ring. Feng Wu's attack was quick; it was comparable with Master White's who Lin Huang encountered a month ago. As the silver sword ripped out, it created a wave in the air. It looked like something that was flying on the water's surface. A deadly aura that felt like the grim reaper's scythe was heading for Lin Huang's neck.
Lin Huang stood at where he was while waiting for Feng Wu to come to him, his eyes looking fearless. He suddenly raised his sword. There were shadows in the air moving in slow-motion. However, the tip of the sword managed to meet Feng Wu's sword that was coming to him at lightning speed. Feng Wu felt such an intense force that he almost dropped his sword onto the ground, causing his initial attack to miss.
Lin Huang smiled as plunged his sword towards Feng Wu's right arm. Feng Wu moved his body aside and dodged Lin Huang's sword. He leaped away from Lin Huang. Feng Wu finally realized how powerful Lin Huang was and began to sweat. The attack from Lin Huang felt like he had activated a spiritual creature that could identify Feng Wu's flaws.
"Is this what one is capable of when he had mastered the sword? I'm still far away from achieving that level."
Feng Wu Knew how much he lacked when it came to his sword skills compared to Lin Huang because he was still limited by his fighting style. However, Lin Huang was at another level. Seeing that Feng Wu was getting away from him, Lin Huang did not go after him. Instead, he stood at where he was like nothing happened while looking at Feng Wu.
"Your skill isn't that bad." Lin Huang said after looking at Feng Wu for a while.
He had seen his skills before in the video where Feng Wu was fighting Master Bai. He could see that his sword skill was epic-level. However, he did not use much of the styles during the battle. Lin Huang was not in a rush to kill Feng Wu as he wanted to see more of his sword styles so that he could learn.
"Thank you for the compliment, yours isn't that bad as well." Feng Wu complemented Lin Huang in return. What he meant was not Lin Huang's sword skill but his own. The attack earlier was not a sword skill, but was a tactic that he came up by himself. However, that was sufficient to know that Lin Huang's mastery of sword was much better than himself.
Feng Wu was not afraid at all to face a powerful opponent like Lin Huang. Instead, he was exhilarated. He knew that no matter what the result of the battle would be, his would learn something about swords from Lin Huang.
"Come, let me see how much you have mastered your sword skill." Lin Huang waved at Feng Wu; he looked like a senior who was coaching a junior. Most of the audience in the crowd were shocked to see this.
"Is the Sword Genius provoking Feng Wu?"
"Why does it look like a master instructing his apprentice."
"Sword Genius is the real keeper here!"
People were discussing among themselves outside the ring. However, Feng Wu was not offended at all. Lin Huang was more skillful than he was, it was normal that he wanted to see what he has so that he could point out his mistakes. Furthermore, he was there to learn from Lin Huang.
"The sword skill that I'm practicing is called Thunder Touch, it's a transcendent level combat skill. Unfortunately, I'm not qualified, yet so I've yet to master this sword skill…" Feng Wu raised his sword again and looked at Lin Huang intensely," Here goes nothing!"
Feng Wu dashed towards Lin Huang again. This time he was faster than before. He was so fast that he cracked the ground of the ring. They were initially more than 10 meters apart from each other but now they were then less than a meter apart . This time, Feng Wu had his sword pointing straight at Lin Huang's heart. The tip of the sword looked like it was distorted from a high temperature which also caused the air around the tip to be distorted. It was silent.
Lin Huang stood motionlessly as Feng Wu attacked. He raised his sword again with slow-motion shadows in the air, pointing towards Feng Wu's sword that was heading towards him. Suddenly, Feng Wu's became twice as fast as he was. The rhythm of the air around him was messed up as he aimed at Lin Huang's heart at lightning speed.
A strange pattern appeared in Lin Huang's eyes. Soon, his sword became two times faster as well. A silver glow flashed in the air; his sword clashed with Feng Wu's sword again. Feng Wu was shocked and took a few steps back immediately while Lin Huang remained standing. It was obvious that who was more powerful among them, even a person who has no clues about sword would be able to come up with a conclusion easily.
"The Sword Genius is just too powerful. From the beginning, he had never moved a step while Feng Wu had already stepped back twice."
"That's right; Sword Genius is like an unmovable mountain compared to Feng Wu."
"That's skill right there. With Feng Wu's terrifying speed, Lin Huang still managed to defend himself effortlessly."
"You are attempting to use speed to cover up your flaws but what you don't know is, no matter how fast you are, your flaws would still be there." Lin Huang gave his opinion on Feng Wu's attack.
"It wouldn't be a problem if your opponent is slow. However, for a person who is fast like me, no matter how fast you are, your flaws will always remain."
Feng Wu flushed as Lin Huang revealed his flaws. He hesitated and asked, "So what should I do?"
"Your flaws have nothing to do with your sword skill; it's about you. You have yet to master the skill, your attack seemed powerful but you become exhausted when you are using the skill. It feels like you're riding on a monster that you have yet to tame. It would be alright if you're using it just for a stroll but if it were to run at full speed, it would definitely escape your grasp." Lin Huang pointed out Feng Wu's problem.
"There are two solutions. One is to spend some time to master your sword skills and another is to train in another sword skill that's not as powerful."
Feng Wu smiled awkwardly and shook his head as he listened to the solutions that were given by Lin Huan, "I'm not gifted, even if I spend my time training, the results would be minimal. Forget about switching to another sword skill. If I gave up on a powerful sword skill and go for a lower level skill instead, I'm afraid I'd become weaker in the future…"
Seeing that Feng Wu did not want to take his advice, Lin Huang did not bother to continue to say any further.
As their conversation ended, Feng Wu attacked Lin Huang again while he remained standing in the same spot. The more he attacked, the less powerful his attack was but more of his flaws were showing through. After displaying all of his skills, Lin Huang decided that it was unnecessary for him to waste his time any further. Instead of standing where he was, he ran towards Feng Wu. Although he was not as fast as Feng Wu, Feng Wu knew he could never escape from his attack. The sword emitted a purple glow. Feng Wu was shocked by what he saw, Lin Huang passed by, and the purple glow slashed through his neck.
A trail of blood appeared along Feng Wu's neck; his head fell to the ground followed by his body. Lin Huang stood behind Feng Wu while transforming his silver-level battle sword into a ring, "The best thing has to be something that suits you most, it has nothing to do with what it's worth."
"Congratulations, you have won the battle!"
A notification appeared before him. Soon, an announcement came from the sound system in the arena.
"Congratulations! Sword Genius defeated keeper Feng Wu on the sixth floor of the arena, winning 60 battles consecutively!"
"Congratulations! Sword Genius defeated keeper Feng Wu on the sixth floor of the arena, winning 60 battles consecutively!"
"Congratulations! Sword Genius defeated keeper Feng Wu on the sixth floor of the arena, winning 60 battles consecutively!"
Lin Huang remained in the ring and checked his scoreboard as Feng Wu's body disappeared.
"Nickname: Sword Genius"
"Combat Strength: Silver-Level Rank-3"
"Battle Count: 60"
"Accumulated Points: 2516"
"Winning Percentage: 100%"
"Honor: 60-win streaks!"
Many players who were online heard about Sword Genius' 60th winning streak. Many of them remembered that he managed to get his 50-win streak a month ago. Now that he got his 60-win streak, some of them who underestimated him were shocked. There were a couple of them who managed to get 50-win streak annually. However, there were only one or two players who would achieve 60-win streaks yearly and sometimes even none. As the keeper would become increasingly stronger each time, the one that was sent during the 50-win streak was considered to be the weakest while the keeper for the 60-win streak would be much more powerful. That was the reason why some of them did not expect Lin Huang to win.
However, the 60-win streak had shocked many as they had expected Lin Huang to disappear for a while after this round. Lin Huang was still standing in the ring
"Would you like to continue to battle?"
Just as the notification popped up, Lin Huang pressed the button on the left.
"Yes!"

Chapter 201: The Consequences Would Be Dire If You Offend Me!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Many did not expect the Sword Genius to make a glorious comeback with a 60-win streak after disappearing from the arena for a month. Besides, the players on the sixth floor and those from the other floors who did not follow Lin Huang's news thought he did not manage to win 60 consecutive battles. Many were surprised when they learned that Sword Genius had defeated Feng Wu on his 60th winning streak.
The 50,000 people who were watching him live in the room were the most surprised. Not only did they witnessed Sword Genius' 60-win streak, but they were also witnessing a miracle as Lin Huang chose to continue to battle. Soon, his 61st opponent was sent into the ring. It was a girl who looked 16 or 17. She was bespectacled with a round face, but she was not fat.
She was excited as to be sent into the ring but got a shock when she saw Lin Huang's scoreboard.
"Are you really Sword Genius?"
"What do you think?" Lin Huang smiled. However, he just put on a face so the girl could not read his true emotion.
"Even if the name is similar, the score will not lie. I think you're the real Sword Genius." The girl said after thinking about it.
"I have been following you since a month ago; I saw the notification when you logged in earlier. However, I could not watch you live as the room was already full. The moment I got to know you were on your 60-win streak, I regretted that I was unable to watch you in battle. It's rare for someone to win 60 battles consecutively but I've missed the live match…"
The girl continued talking even after the countdown ended. Lin Huang stood at the same spot without interrupting her. The crowd was speechless. The girl was a blur as she just realized that the countdown had ended after she was done talking. However, she did not attempt to attack but said to Lin Huang, "Erm… Can I have your autograph?"
"I can do that, but you can't bring it out from the game even if I did gave it to you." Lin Huang did not reject her. However, he was unsure how he was supposed to give her his autograph.
"Let me add you as a friend. After we leave the game, you could write something for me or send me some pictures." The girl suggested.
"Maybe you could write something like 'Sword Genius wishes I Eat Tomato will always be happy'."
Lin Huang was stunned at her nickname; he looked at her scoreboard immediately. Her nickname was actually 'I Eat Tomato.'
"If only Tomato is a cute girl like this …" Tomato was an author that Lin Huang admired on earth, he could not accept the fact that author who he liked looked like this in this world…
After he had cleared his mind, Lin Huang accepted the girl's friend request.
"Sure, I will send you a photo after I sign my name on it."
A majority of them in the audience thought he would reject a friend request like before; they did not expect him to say yes.
"Wow, what happened to your principle? Didn't you tell Feng Wu that you will never add any friends?!"
"This is the advantage of being a girl! Even a person like Sword Genius could not resist."
"This is sexist! We demand equality!"
Lin Huang could not hear what was happening outside; he had forgotten that he rejected Feng Wu's friend request earlier. A lot of them who were outside the room were shocked when they watch the replay of Lin Huang rejecting Feng Wu's friend request. After Lin Huang and the girl added each other as friends, she surrendered. Before she disappeared, she waved at Lin Huang and shouted, "Remember to send me your autograph!"
The 61st battle ended like a movie. For the next 62nd to 69th battles, Lin Huang managed to finish them within two minutes as five of them surrendered while three of them were killed with just one hit. The crowd was not interested in the battles as they were all waiting for the exciting match of Lin Huang's 70-win streak.
After he completed his 69th battle, a notification popped up.
"Would you like to continue to battle?"
He selected 'Yes' without hesitation. After he made his decision, two other notifications popped up.
"There is a match in progress in this venue; the venue will change to venue No.1 on the sixth floor…"
"Matching a keeper, please wait …"
After the appearance of the two notifications, Lin Huang was teleported from the ring and to venue No.1 which was bigger than the previous room. The 50,000 audience were puzzled by Lin Huang's disappearance. They soon received the same notification.
"Sword Genius will be fighting the 70th battle keeper at venue No.1 on the sixth floor!"
Many of them clicked on the selected venue and picked venue No.1 immediately.
Venue No.1 on each floor would only be opened for the big match. The venue is huge and could hold up to 300,000 people. In less than 30 seconds, Lin Huang was sent into the venue; it was fully occupied. All of the players who were online in the arena received the same notification. It had been years since the last person won 70 battles consecutively. Therefore, not only did the people on the sixth floor came, many other players at gold-level from the seventh to the ninth floor came to watch as well.
The last person who had their 70-win streak was 16 years ago. Many geniuses had appeared in Divison7 within that 16 years. However, none of them could win 70 battles consecutively The 300,000 people in the venue stared at the ring without blinking. They were eager to know who would be the keeper.
Outside the arena, a beautiful lady with waist length hair with sunglasses and clad in a bikini was suntanning on the beach. Suddenly, she received a notification.
"Congratulations! You are selected as the keeper of the 70-win streak of 'Sword Genius' on the sixth floor."
"Please enter the arena within three minutes, failure to do so will result in you forfeiting your position as a keep ."
"Players who fail to accept the position of a keeper will be penalized. Your account will be suspended, your accumulated points would go back to zero, and you will not be able to enter the Hunter Arena for ten years!"
"Damn it; I must find out who interrupted my holiday!" The young lady shouted.

Chapter 202: Explosive Female Demon
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the arena, there was a girl in a black bikini. The shape of her body was vague. Within an audience of 300,000, most of the male spectators had their eyes wide open.
Her height barefooted was about 1.8meters. She was in a black bikini which exposed her fair and long legs and her legs were perhaps about 1.3 meters in length.
As they continued looking up, her black bra top covered less than two-thirds of her bosoms. Most of the men who had their eyes on her found her attractive.
Even Lin Huang was surprised when he saw the way she dressed. However, he recognized her as he had watched more than hundred of her battle videos.
"She's Explosive Female Demon! She's the one who ranked fifth on the leaderboard, the Explosive Female Demon!"
"Sword Genius you're in trouble. It is better to encounter the one who ranked third or even fourth compared to her!"
"Yeah. Sword Genius' attack speed has no advantage over his opponent at all. He's unlucky to encounter a gunmaster. It'll be difficult for him to win the battle."
In the arena, many of the people on the sixth floor could recognize the woman straight away. They were familiar with with the top 10 on the leaderboard. Some of the audience from the seventh to the ninth floor only recognized the woman after listening to those comments.
In the arena, Explosive Female Demon looked like she did not pay much attention to the audience. She took off her sunglasses and took out a piece of white string to tie up her hair. She tilted her head slightly while staring at Lin Huang.
"Hey kiddo, are you Sword Genius who just got a 50-win streak last month? It's not easy to come up to the 70th battle. However, you should just stop here as I won't let you win!" The Explosive Female Demon immediately gave off a murderous vibe.
"You look very angry. May I know why? If I'm not mistaken, this is the first time that we're meeting." Although Lin Huang could recognize her, he could not remember when he offended her. He knew that the deadly aura that his opponent was giving off was real.
"Just now… You just disturbed my holiday that I've been waiting to enjoy for ages. I'm furious, so I want to get my revenge on you!" The Explosive Female Demon told him the reason she was angry.
"Alright… I'm sorry for disturbing your holiday." Lin Huang apologized and remained calm. It wasn't his fault. She was chosen by the system to be the keeper.
"You're so young, but yet you are such a gentleman." The Explosive Female Demon laughed as Lin Huang apologized to her. "However, I'll not accept your apology. If I accept it, I can't kill you."
Lin Huang shrugged his shoulders and kept quiet. Many of them who were watching the battle between the both of them knew that the Sword Genius was unlucky as soon as they heard what the woman said.
Right after she had finished her sentence, two of the silver rings on Explosive Female Demon's fingers abruptly transformed into two modified SilverPhoenix16s. He had to admit that she looked rather heroic, clad in her bikini while wielding two guns.
Lin Huang then quickly transformed the silver ring on his finger into a battle sword, getting ready for the battle.He did not choose a gun as a weapon as she was an actual gunmaster. She was at least a mid-level gunmaster. He would definitely lose if he chose to use a gun. Soon, the countdown in the arena ended.
She lifted her guns without a moment of hesitation just as the countdown ended. Pointing both of her guns towards Lin Huang, she pulled the trigger.
The silver bullets were fired endlessly at Lin Huang. The audience shifted their gaze to Lin Huang.However, in the arena, Lin Huang's eyes never left her hands. He then activated Cloud Steps and avoided the bullets without even breaking a sweat. Lin Huang's steps resembled the flowing motions of clouds and water had caught many people's attention. His movement was so smooth it was as if he was dancing. On top of that, Cloud Steps was extremely efficient in dodging enemy attacks. It was unbelievable that he had avoided the hail of bullets in the arena.
"Sword Genius has a weak attack speed? He avoided all the bullets!"
"What movement skill is Sword Genius using? It's so effective in avoiding bullets."
Many of them started to discuss what they just saw, and they were envious of his skills when it comes to movement skills.
"What do you think?" The young man in gold robe had noticed Lin Huang from the beginning. He asked the man in black robe beside him.
"His speed is normal. There's nothing special about his movement skill as well. The reason why he could dodge multiple attacks is because he's is good in predicting his opponent's next move." The man in black robe knew what was happening.
"The modified SilverPhoenix16 is firing bullets at about Mach 4, and he was able to avoid them easily. Is he a genius?" The gold-robed man asked and laughed.
"The main focus is to observe the hand movement of the gunmaster during the fight. Then, he would be able to make a judgment based on the gunmaster's movement and avoid the attacks. By just staring at the bullets, even a transcendent wouldn't be able to avoid the attacks. It solely depends on one's ability to predict and to dodge the bullets. It has nothing to do with the speed of the gun." The black robed man explained.
"You sound like you don't think he will win?" The gold-robed man frowned and asked.
"He has a high possibility of losing the battle if this is all he has up his sleeves. Up until now, the opponent has only used part of her basic gun skills. There are still many powerful gun techniques and gunfighting techniques that she has yet to utilize. Moreover, he did not reduce the distance between them. He put himself in a passive position of having to receive attacks all the time."
"If he does not consider fighting back, he is attempting to win by avoiding his opponent's attack, in the hopes that she'll use up her Life Power. Without a doubt, he'll lose." The black robed man gave his judgment.
"I have been watching his matches since his 20th match and never missed a single one of them. He's never failed to surprise me. I believe that he'll be the winner." Apparently, the gold-robed man had confidence in Lin Huang.
"Let's not argue. Instead, let's make a bet."
"What do you want to bet on?" The black robed man looked at him.
"Don't bet too much on it; to avoid conflicts. We should just bet with 3-star relics!" The gold-robed man said with a smile.
"Not a problem." The man in black robe nodded his head without hesitation.
"Deal. I bet that Sword Genius will win the match!" The gold-robed man then took out a golden dagger.
The black robed man quickly took out a short black blade and said, "I bet he is going to lose!"

Chapter 203: Sword Genius vs Explosive Female Demon
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the arena, two of the guns that Explosive Female Demon was holding had never stopped firing bullets at Lin Huang.
Not only were the bullets of the modified SilverPhoenix16 fired with a speed of Mach 4, its shooting speed was incredibly fast as well. In her hands, about 50 shots were fired from both guns per second. Its speed was on par with the that of an automatic rifle.
Despite having to dodge 50 bullets per second, Lin Huang managed to do it with ease. His Boundless Vision was activated all the time; he was staring at his opponent's hand. Lin Huang did not shift his gaze from her hands as he makes notes of even the slightest change in their movement. He could then predict the trajectory path of the bullets and dodge the attacks in advance.
Many of them had their mouth wide opened when they saw what was going on.
"The shooting speed is incredibly fast. If I am him, I'd be shot through like a sieve."
"Most people would've relied on their defensive weapons against such a powerful attack. It's the first time I'm seeing a player like Sword Genius who dodges the attacks by only using his movement skill."
"It's unlikely that he's going to win! The bullets fired by the modified SilverPhoenix16 are traveling at Mach 4. Even if Sword Genius is struck by the bullet only once, he'll be severely injured. His performance will be affected, and he'll be defeated."
"Sword Genius is not trying to reduce the distance between them at all. Under such a powerful attack, he'll be exhausted just from avoiding the attacks. If this continues, it's less likely that he'll win the battle. The best he can do is to end the battle with a draw."
They doubted his abilities, by just looking at her powerful attacks. Sword Genius was completely pinned down by his opponent. Those who had been watching Sword Genius' battles all along hoped that a miracle would happen and he could achieve his 70-win streak. However, as they watched his performance in the arena, many of them instantly lost their confidence in Sword Genius.
The Explosive Female Demon was too powerful. Despite the fact that she ranked fifth on the leaderboard, the battle between her and Ebonella who ranked second ended in a draw. Her abilities were evident.
Most of them on the sixth floor knew that even though Exploding Female Demon ranked fifth on the leaderboard but she was stronger than the player who ranked fourth. It was not exaggerating to say that her abilities were on par with the player who ranked third.
She was indeed too powerful to be the keeper of the 70th battle.
In the arena, Lin Huang was cornered by her attacks. He had been standing in his original position to dodge the attacks, not once trying to shorten the distance between them. It was not because Lin Huang was incapable of doing so, but it was because he was trying to adapt to his opponent's combat style. In other words, he was just warming up.
Lin Huang had never encountered such a powerful enemy in the previous battles.
Aside from the abilities she possessed, her attack speed was incredible as well. Her attack speed was the most powerful one among all the opponents he had encountered.
The opponent's attack speed was a furious storm.
Since it was his first time encountering such an enemy, Lin Huang had to spend some time in getting used to his opponent's combat style so that he could reset his bodily responses towards her attacks. It was like a warm-up session that one has to carry out before an intense workout to prevent injuries.
Lin Huang had been drifting between her attacks so that he could quickly adapt to her combat frequency. His body was stiff at first but soon, it improved. After about five minutes, his body had completely adapted to the frequency and all the uneasiness had rapidly subsided.
He grinned and dodged another bullet again. All of a sudden, he moved one step forward and lunged at her.
The audience broke into loud cheers as Lin Huang was no longer playing on the defensive, but was lunging towards her instead.
Lin Huang had been defending himself against her attack all this while. Many of them thought that Lin Huang was giving up on the battle and he wanted to end the fight in a draw.
However, after about five minutes, Lin Huang finally attacked.
She was surprised. She thought that Lin Huang wanted to end the fight in a draw as he had defended himself against her attacks. She did not expect him to strike and attack.
"Do you think that it's easy to reduce the distance between us?" She was grinning. Under her control, there seemed to be some changes in the properties of the bullets.
As soon as Lin Huang moved a step forward, she quickly turned her gun, pointing them towards Lin Huang again.
Lin Huang could vaguely sense that something was wrong immediately when the bullet was shot. He dodged the bullets. However, after the bullets passed by, there was an explosive sound, causing a powerful blast of wind. His movements were affected.
The audience had their eyes wide opened the moment when they saw the explosion that in the arena.
Her bullets had exploded and it was not just one bullet that exploded. In fact, more than hundred of the ones she fired had instantly exploded.
The flame had enveloped half of the arena in front of her
Though none of the bullets struck Lin Huang's body, she found no trace of him as his body was completely covered by the flames and smoke.
"This might not have happened if you were honest with me." As soon as she finished speaking, the two modified SilverPhoenix16 that she was holding was transformed into two automatic rifles.
Two of the rifles pointed towards the area that was filled with smoke, a muzzle flash was seen. Countless silver bullets were fired and they were flying everywhere forwards. After switching to a rifle, the speed was faster than that of the SilverPhoenix16.
The audience was stunned.
They had never expected her combat style to have such a tough appeal. She was like a man!
"Firing at such speed, perhaps Sword Genius is dead?"
"His front view is blocked by a pall of smoke. If Sword Genius can't see her hand movement, he will not be able to avoid those bullets as well."
"She's indeed is a female demon. The name suits her."
Many of the men who were drooling over her were shocked when they saw this.
"Is she a man that had undergone gender reassignment surgery?" Those men were suspicious about her real gender.
After firing for about three minutes with her automatic rifle, she finally stopped. However, she had a weird expression on her face. She was not happy. Instead, she was doubtful.
"Didn't he die? Why haven't I received the notification from the system…"
"I didn't expect this from you. I've nearly died…" A voice that came from the area filled with smoke replied as she mumbled.

Chapter 204: 70-Win Streak
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Right after the voice was heard, a shadow slowly appeared out of the smoky area.
He was a teenage boy wearing a T-shirt and a silver face mask. He looked perfectly fine, without even a hint of awkwardness.
Again, she switched two of her weapons to guns, aiming them at Lin Huang. Without a moment of hesitation, she raised her gun and shot.
However, it was strange that Lin Huang did not avoid the bullets at all. He walked slowly towards Explosive Female Demon.
The audience was startled, seeing the scene in the arena. Sword Genius was walking slowly towards Explosive Female Demon. She kept shooting him, but not a single shot hit. Sword Genius did not dodge the bullets at all.
"How could it be?!" Lin Huang's body passed through the bullets. However, no trace of bullets was found on his clothes. She was shocked and felt puzzled.
"Why did she keep shooting towards the other side? Did she do it on purpose?"
"A keeper can't deliberately lose a game. If she does, it would mean that she has admitted defeat and she'll be severely punished. Her account in the arena will be banned for at least three years!"
"She seems to be acting weird…"
"It seems like you're going to lose." The gold-robed man laughed, looking at the black-robed man.
"Illusion… This indeed is out of my expectation." Although the black-robed man was saying in this way, he sounded calm. Then, he passed the black short blade to the young man.
"Haha…" The gold-robed man took the short blade and immediately stored it in his storage space as if he was afraid that the black-robed man would go back to what he had said.
"Do you want to place another bet?" The black robed man asked as he saw that he had kept the relic.
"What do you want to bet on?" The gold-robed man asked and smiled.
"The battle between Sword Genius and Yu Moli. I bet Yu Moli will win." The black robed man suggested.
"Alright, deal. Even if I lose, I will just give the short blade back to you." The gold-robed man decided to stand by Lin Huang's side.
"No. This round, if you lose, you'll have to give me two, 3-star relics." The black robed man doubled the bet.
The gold-robed man hesitated when he heard the terms of the bet.
"Aren't you're confident in the little brat?" The black robed man sounded insulting.
"Fine, two relics then!" Still, the gold-robed man had decided to trust Lin Huang.
In the arena, his opponent soon noticed something was wrong. "Illusion?"
"Yes, you're right." Lin Huang smiled, nodding his head.
"When did you activate it?" She remained calm.
"I activated it within the first few minutes of the battle." Lin Huang was being honest with her.
"Even if you've used an illusion and my senses have been affected. I don't rely on my senses to attack, I randomly fired the bullets. Also, you can't even see my hands and you can't judge the trajectory based on my movement. How did you dodge the attacks?" She could not understand.
"That's simply because I've used certain defensive skills." Lin Huang was forced to use his Blood Spirit wings earlier when the air was filled with smoke so he could defend against her attacks. Otherwise, he would have been shot through and look like a sieve.
"I knew it!" Right after she had finished her sentence, she then picked up her gun. Following a peculiar trajectory path, silver bullets were fired out of her SilverPhoenix16.
The silver bullets then formed a big net, flying towards Luo Yuan's direction.
Many of them could recognize that it was her unique gunfighting technique – Sky Net .
Since her sensory organs were severely distracted by Lin Huang's illusion, she could not estimate her enemy's position. Therefore, Sky Net was undoubtedly the best gun fighting technique to use.
She had been chatting with Lin Huang. It was not because she gave up defending herself against him but because she needed some time to figure out ways to counterattack. Then, she thought of this skill and resisted desperately.
However, the audience was puzzled.
During the conversation, the Sword Genius was walking around a semi-circle path and he was now behind her.
However, her Sky Net was attacking the region in front of her and Sword Genius was not even within the sky net attack range.
"His illusion skill is amazing…"
"I have to admit that although she is shooting at air, still, she still seems heroic!"
"What? She's too manly!"
"Don't get cheated by her appearance. Though she looks like a woman, she can't hide the fact that she's a man! If you don't trust me, marry her and you'll know."
"I'm sorry. I can't stop winning." Lin Huang was standing behind her, placing his long sword around her neck. "Admit defeat."
Lin Huang removed his illusion, only then did she find out that there was a sword pointed at her neck.
"Hmph, I'll admit defeat!" She scoffed. Eventually, she admitted defeat.
"Congratulations! Player Sword Genius has won the battle!"
As soon as the pop-up notification appeared, Lin Huang kept his sword.
As her body began to disintegrate, she stared at Lin Huang and said, "I'll remember you, Sword Genius. I'll get my revenge on you!"
"Feel free to challenge me anytime." Lin Huang nodded his head and smiled.
Soon, the system announcement lingered in the arena again.
"Congratulations player Sword Genius defeated keeper Explosive Female Demon on the sixth floor of the arena, winning 70 consecutive battles!"
"Congratulations player Sword Genius defeated keeper Explosive Female Demon on the sixth floor of the arena, winning 70 consecutive battles!"
"Congratulations player Sword Genius defeated keeper Explosive Female Demon on the sixth floor of the arena, winning 70 consecutive battles!"
When the system notification rang, it amazed all of the online players.
Nobody had achieved 70-win streak in the past 16 years. This time, the announcement of the 60 winning streaks and 70-win streak were made in less than 15 minutes and it was completed by the same player. Many of them noticed that he was the newborn genius of the Hunter Association.
The announcement of the 70-win streak was sent to not only the online players and even the offline players had received the notification. It was sent to 12 of the executive officers of the Hunter Association as well.
This had instantly alerted the Hunter Association at Division7.
The Hunter Arena was originally a virtual arena designed by the Hunter Association to look for geniuses. Knowing that there was a person that had achieved 70-win streak, the executive officers could no longer sit still as nobody could accomplish this in the past 16 years.
With their authorities, soon, the executive officers knew the actual identity of Sword Genius. Their facial expression suddenly changed.
"He is Lin Huang! Ah…" Xu Tianyu sighed and shook his head as he thought of the fact that Lin Huang had missed intensive training.
"I knew that Mr. Fu will not be wrong. But…" Old Li sighed as well.
Few of the executive officers had previously thought that Mr. Fu was wrong. However, the moment they received the notice, they knew that they were the ones that were wrong.
On the other hand, other players of the Hunter Arena were going through the network searching for the information of Sword Genius. However, they seemed to have found nothing…

Chapter 205: 79-Win Streak
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Nickname: Sword Genius"
"Combat Strength: Silver-Level Rank-3"
"Battle Count: 70"
"Accumulated Points: 5058"
"Winning Percentage: 100%"
"Honor: 70 consecutive wins!"
Lin Huang looked at his score. The points accumulated had exceeded 5000. As long as he could win another 10 battles, the accumulated points would exceed 10,000. Then, he would be ranked in the top 10 on the leaderboard after collecting an additional 1000 points.
In order to accomplish the mission given by Mr. Fu, achieving an 80-win streak was the bare minimum. If he could not do this, it would probably be difficult for him to complete the rest of the missions in the following 20 days.
It would be best if he managed to make it to a 90-win streak. Then, he would have about 20,000 accumulated points, completing the task in one-shot. He could then save some time.
Lin Huang took less than half an hour to win 20 consecutive battles to get from a 50-win streak to a 70-win streak. Though he has already broken a record that no one could break for the past 16 years, he still remained in the arena.
"Would you like to continue the battle?"
When this option popped up in front of him, Lin Huang chose "Yes!" without hesitation.
Many of them did not expect this. Even after achieving a 70-win streak, Sword Genius did not choose to rest but instead, continued accepting challenges.
The reason why Lin Huang chose to continue was simple. The past 20 battles did not consume much of his energy. Also, he had watched more than thousands of battle videos of those who were ranked top-10 on the leaderboard. He had conducted a complete analysis of each of their strengths and weaknesses. He was not going to waste his time for additional preparation.
Since the keeper of the 70th battle was Explosive Female Demon who ranked fifth on the leaderboard, the keeper in the following battles would probably be those who are ranked even higher than her. Therefore, they would probably choose players that are among the top four players.
The one who ranked fourth was Handsome Imperial Censor. He was an Imperial Censor and could summon a Gold-Level Rank-3 mutated monster. The points that he had accumulated were basically earned by the monster he summoned. Although he was not strong, he still managed to enter the top 100 on the leaderboard with his own abilities.
The player who ranked third was The Final Fortress. He had terribly strong defensive power. He was the same as Yu Moli; having never lost a single battle on the sixth floor of the arena. Also, he was often chosen as the keeper by the system.
Of course, the one who ranked first would be Yu Moli. The second-ranked player was Ebonella and the fifth-ranked player was Explosive Female Demon who had almost achieved her 70-win streak. However, The Final Fortress had somehow, always been chosen as the keeper of the 70th battle to end their winning streaks.
Be it the Explosive Female Demon with amazing attack speed, Ebonella with her various combat techniques, or Yu Moli who was the invincible player on the sixth floor, they were unable to break through and achieve their 70-win streak because of The Final Fortress' defense which usually caused the battle to end in a draw.
Lin Huang actually did not want to bump into this opponent as well because he was not confident that he could break through the opponent's defense. Compared to him, he would rather encounter Ebonella or even Yu Moli as the keeper of the 80th battle.
He shook his head, snapping himself out of his deep thought and his 71st opponent was sent to the arena.
His opponent was a young gunmaster.
The moment he saw Lin Huang in the arena, he immediately activated his SilverPhoenix16.
Many of the audience found it uninteresting when they saw this.
Sword Genius had completed his 70-win streak. Although the opponent had accumulated 5000 points and it was not considered low, he was still too weak compared to the previous two keepers. The audience did not have any hope in his opponent.
"Sword Genius, I didn't know that I'd randomly bump into you. The gods are being too kind!" The young man was excited.
Lin Huang glanced at his ID and it read, "Please give me your signature."
"I can give you my signature. After I go offline, I'll send you some photos when I'm free." Lin Huang explained.
"Who wants your signature?!" The man immediately said, "I created the ID for my goddess!"
"Oh…" Lin Huang replied insincerely. He waited patiently as the countdown timer had not ended.
"Do you know who my goddess is? She's Explosive Female Demon! The one you bullied earlier!" The signature guy asked and answered his own question.
"Oh…" Lin Huang sighed as the countdown timer had not ended yet.
"I want to take my revenge on you!" The signature guy finally told him the reason why he was happy.
"Oh…" Lin Huang answered politely as usual and still, his eyes were staring at the timer above him.
"You bullied my goddess. I must defeat you. I want to take it out on you…"
"Have you finished talking?" Lin Huang suddenly asked.
"No, I…"
Lin Huang suddenly extended her hand, pointing at the timer that had reached zero. He then lunged towards him and said, "Sorry, I'm in a hurry."
The next moment, Lin Huang moved one step forward, passing by his body.
Before the man even managed to fire a single shot, a sword cut through his waist.
"Congratulations! Player Sword Genius has won the battle!"
"You've killed the opponent in one hit, you have obtained 2 points!"
The audience started discussing the man who just appeared.
"Tsk tsk, the guy has unusual taste. How could he like her."
"Perhaps he was an innocent teenager who was cheated by her appearance…"
"Probably he likes her act of violence?"
The man who appeared just now meant nothing to Lin Huang.
After the 71st battle had ended, the challengers were sent to the arena one after another.
The moment they found out that their opponent was Sword Genius, eight of the fighters who were sent to the arena decided to give up the battle.
To them, they knew that they would have no possibility of winning when they encountered Sword Genius who had completed his 70-win streak. Giving up the battle would be better compared to getting killed by just one hit in front of more than hundreds of thousands of people.
With that, Lin Huang successfully completed his 79-win streaks and welcomed his 80th battle…
Who would be the keeper this round?
300,000 audiences stared at the arena, patiently waiting for the keeper to appear.
Even Lin Huang started to feel nervous as this battle would decide whether he could get 10,000 points or otherwise. If he wins this battle, he could be more relaxed in the following days. However, if he lost the battle, he would have to achieve another 70-win streak to collect more than 10,000 points. He would then require more time to complete the mission.
After about one minute, a shadow appeared on the other side of the arena…

Chapter 206: Arrival of the Ultimate Keeper
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Sometimes, sh*t happens.
The moment he saw a skinny shadow appear in the arena, Lin Huang could immediately confirm his identity – it was the third-ranked person on the leaderboard, The Final Fortress.
The Final Fortress was shorter than 1.4 meters, and he was very skinny. He might even weigh less than 60 catties and looked like a 10-year-old boy. However, he was actually already 17 years old and looked like this because he had stunted growth.
It was because of his body size that allowed Lin Huang and the rest to recognize him before the light was even shone on the keeper.
Although he looked like a harmless kid, The Final Fortress was the one opponent most players on the sixth floor did not wish to encounter.
He was recognized as the 'Final Keeper' on the sixth floor. Even Yu Moli who ranked first on the leaderboard had never defeated him in the arena after several battles.
Lin Huang did not want to bump into him as he had no confidence that he could break through the opponent's defense.
When the audience saw the appearance of The Final Fortress, they observed a moment of silence for Lin Huang.
"It seems like Sword Genius' winning streak will end here."
"The system did really send the final keeper here…"
"Yu Moli had said this before. None of the Silver Hunters could break through his defense. Only a gold-level, attack type relic could do it."
"Although I feel like seeing Sword Genius create another miracle, it seems like it'll remain a wish…"
Most of the players on the sixth floor knew The Final Fortress from watching his previous battles. The moment he appeared in front of Lin Huang, they lost all hope for Lin Huang in this battle.
Regardless of how strong Sword Genius was, his combat strength was only Silver-Level Rank-3. The strength of his Life Power could not activate a gold relic. Even if he used a gold-level battle sword to attack, it was still impossible to break through his opponent's defense. Countless hunters had tried but failed.
Lin Huang clearly understood that. He had been watching his battle videos repeatedly. He was afraid that he might encounter an opponent with such a powerful defense. The results of his analysis showed that when one's defensive skills were enhanced to a certain level, that person would be unbeatable. Unleashing a stronger power was the only way to break his defense. Other than that, nothing could help him.
Lin Huang did an analysis of the weaknesses of the top 10 players on the leaderboard. He thought of ways to kill them as well. However, he had no idea how he could defeat The Final Fortress.
In fact, it was not his abilities that were unbeatable. If his defensive skills were not taken into consideration, he would only manage to achieve top 30 on the leaderboard. However, he was invincible because of his incredible defensive skills.
While Lin Huang was sizing up The Final Fortress, his opponent did the same thing on Lin Huang too.
"It has been 16 years since the last player achieved a 70-win streak. Congratulations." The Final Fortress smiled at Lin Huang.
"Thank you." Lin Huang nodded his head.
"I've watched your battle videos, you're so strong." Fortress admitted that Lin Huang was strong, "Therefore, I chose to defend the arena in this battle. As long as you can break through my defense in half an hour and leaving a wound on my body, I'll concede. As long as it's allowed, you can use any skills."
Apparently, he knew that Lin Huang had heard of him before. He was lazy to banter on with him. He then explained to him the rules that he had set.
"Alright." Lin Huang agreed with him.
"Then let's begin!" The Final Fortress took a look at the countdown timer, a complicated pattern was formed by both his hands when the countdown was about to end.
Right after the pattern was formed, a layer of a shell-shaped object made of a material that looked like metal and stone was formed in the air in before his body.
The object gradually became thicker, extending towards The Final Fortress and in less than three seconds, he was completely covered by it.
A grey, ball-shaped object instantly appeared in the arena as well. It had a diameter of about two meters and it had a stone and metal texture to it.
The ability was unique to the extent that even Lin Huang could not confirm if the layer he formed was a skill, a blood inheritance or a monster skill.
Looking at the countdown timer above him end, Lin Huang did not attack immediately. He activated Boundless Vision and walked around the ball-shaped object. He carefully observed it.
The audience did not urge Lin Huang to hasten his attack as they waited patiently for his next move.
"It seems like Sword Genious is going to end his winning streak here." The black-robed man laughed as he looked at the gold-robed young.
"He's got bad luck to bump into this little brat that has a blood inheritance. He's even inherited such powerful defensive abilities."
Unexpectedly, the gold-robed man did not give him a reply.
"Do you want to add on to the bet. Another relic perhaps?" The black-robed man grinned.
"If the one he met was Yu Moli, he might not lose." The gold-robed young man changed the topic.
"Those who possess a blood inheritance will inherit abilities developed by a transcendent. Their combat strength is restricted and they are not allowed to fully unleash the power of their blood inheritance. However, this brat possesses a blood inheritance skill that cannot be broken by those who are below the transcendent level. He can only be defeated by those who also have a blood inheritance. Despite the fact that Yu Moli has obtained numerous monster skills, it would still not be enough. Regardless of how strong the skill is, it would still a silver-level mutated monster skill. It is not comparable to a blood inheritance." The black-robed man explained with a smile.
"Regardless of whether Sword Genius can win Yu Moli or not, he'll definitely lose this battle! Unless he has a blood inheritance as well…"
"Stop talking nonsense. Let's watch the battle quietly." The gold-robed man was getting lazy to listen to him and interrupted him. The black-robed man laughed arrogantly, he then kept quiet.
Lin Huang walked slowly around the ball-shaped object in the arena. He tried to touch the object's body but made no attempts of an attack.
The audience started to feel impatient.
"Sword Genius! Are you a man? Why are you looking and touching the ball instead of doing what you're supposed to do?! Do you even dare to pick up a gun and fire?!" Some of them even shouted at him.
"What do you know? This is foreplay!" Another man responded from afar.
"The foreplay is too long. I'm going limp already!" Another man yelled at him as well.
Everyone burst out laughing as they listened to their conversation.
After carefully observing the ball-shaped object in the arena, he finally stood still…

Chapter 207: I Can't Accept A Draw!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang walked about 10 rounds around the ball-shaped object, observing each and every detail with Boundless Vision repeatedly.
The ball-shaped object looked like a grey colored stone. However, when he touched it, it felt cold like it was metal. There were no cracks on the ball-shaped object and it looked like its entire body was painted in some light silver colored patterns.
Lin Huang did not discover any flaws.
He retreated 10 meters away and remained still. Lin Huang took out a gold ring from his storage space. He then held the ring between his right thumb and index finger, inserting Life Power into the ring. Soon, the gold-level weapon ring transformed into a gold-level gun.
Despite the fact that silver hunters could activate gold-level weapons, most players would use a silver-level weapon by default during the battle on the fourth floor to the sixth floor in the arena.
Normally, a gold-level weapon could be activated by using Gold Life Power. Gold Life Power was a lot denser than silver Life Power. If the user was a silver Hunter, Life Power consumption would be increased in order to activate gold-level weapons and one would not feel comfortable using it. During the battle, such details would actually affect the result of the game when encountering an opponent with combat abilities that are almost similar. Therefore, it was not appropriate for silver hunters to use gold-level weapons during the fight.
Furthermore, the players of this game were not in need of money. Everyone could afford gold-level weapons. If one of the players changed their weapons the other players could change their weapons as well. Therefore, the effect of combining weapons was not significant. They would just use silver-level weapons because winning the battle was based on one's ability.
However, the audience did not raise any objections when Lin Huang took out the gold-level weapon ring.
This was because the defensive skill of The Final Fortress was considered cheating. Most of the hunters that encountered The Final Fortress had used a gold-level weapon to attack him as well.
However, after the weapon ring was activated, everyone was stunned as they saw that he was holding a gun instead of a sword. They had never seen Lin Huang use a gun before.
"Sword Genius is holding a GoldEagle11. Why does it look a bit different?"
"It is a modified gun. If Sword Genius can modify a gun, he's a qualified gunmaster without a doubt."
"Perhaps it can generate a powerful attack. However, Explosive Female Demon has used modified GoldEagle11 to attack The Final Fortress in the past and she wasn't able to break through his defense."
"There is a big difference between modified guns. Some players modify its shooting speed while others will increase its attack power. She must've increased the speed of both of her guns. It's sufficient to maintain the original attack power of the GoldEagle11. However, if Sword Genius increases the attack power of the gun, its attack will be two to three times stronger, possibly even more. Furthermore, the Life Power of different gunmaster varies, resulting in different type of bullets. Therefore, the effect caused by the attack will be different as well…"
Many of them started discussing as Lin Huang, a master in wielding his sword had suddenly become a gunmaster.
Staring at the big, ball-shaped object, he raised his gun and aimed at one of the points. After accumulating his Life Power, he pulled the trigger.
Beams of muzzle flares appeared and soon, more than 10 bullets were fired, striking at the same position on the ball-shaped object.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Many of them were surprised as he fired consecutive shots.
"From his movement, I know that Sword Genius is a true gun master. Looking at the way he holds the gun, I can know if he is truly a gun user."
"A gunmaster is indeed an attractive profession to the women. All his movements are so charming!"
Many of the young girls were screaming in excitement the moment Lin Huang fired the bullets.
Lin Huang had taken about 50 to 60 shots. This was the maximum number of shots that he could fire at the same point. If he continued shooting, the bullet's path would be shifted. A normal person would be unable to withstand the recoil from a GoldEagle11.
Beginner gunmasters could normally take about 30 consecutive shots. There were some of them who could fire 40 consecutive shots. Firing 50 to 60 shots was the standard benchmark for an intermediate gun master.
The audience was counting the number of shots fired. After listening to the sound of shooting, most of them could basically confirm Lin Huang's identity as a gunmaster.
In the arena, Lin Huang had a serious expression on his face. Right after he stopped shooting, his Boundless Vision could clearly see that nothing had happened to the location on the ball-shaped object that he shot with the bullets. Only several slight cracks appeared in the area which was less than 10 square centimeters like a small spider web. However, within one minute, it had returned to its original state.
"Such an attack can only destroy its outer surface. The depth of the cracks were less than one millimeter. The thickness of the defensive layer is more than 20 centimeters. Furthermore, it has an extremely powerful self-healing ability…" Lin Huang frowned. He began feeling like it was less likely he can break through his opponent's defense.
Soon, the GoldEagle11 in his hand transformed into a fully automated rifle.
Lin Huang inserted his Life Power into it and placed the rifle on his shoulder. He started shooting towards the same position and about 80 consecutive shots were fired.
The attack launched had destroyed the defense layer to quite some extent. 80 consecutive shots had resulted in a thumb-sized hole on the surface of the defense layer, reaching a depth of about one centimeter. However, the thumb-sized hole disappeared in less than five seconds.
The audience all witnessed this, sending a glance of sympathy to Lin Huang.
"It is not easy to strike a hole on The Final Fortress defensive layer."
"The attack power of the modified GoldEagle11 is at least three times stronger than that of a regular GoldEagle11. Unfortunately, it still can't break through the defensive layer."
"His defensive layer is incredible. It seems like Sword Genius is going to end his winning streak here…"
In the arena, Lin Huang remained stationary as if had fallen into deep thoughts.
Firing 87 shots at the same point using a rifle was the best he could do. If he continued shooting, the bullet's trajectory would deviate from the muzzle making his shots useless. In order to break through his defense, he had to keep attacking the same position. Otherwise, it would be a waste of Life Power.
"With such an attack, the resulting impact is only about one centimeter deep…" Lin Huang frowned, he basically had confirmed that his opponent's defense layer was even stronger than he expected after several attempts. "It's a bit troublesome…"
An 80-win streak was the key. If he could not win this battle, he would be unable to double the 5,000 points he had right now. He would have to achieve another 70-win streak in order to collect 10,000 points. The time and strength required would be doubled as well.
Furthermore, it was likely that the system would send The Final Fortress as the keeper of the 60th battle or even the 70th battle. He would have to start everything again.
This was also the reason why The Final Fortress was the opponent that Lin Huang did not wish to encounter the most.
"No! I can't accept a draw!" Lin Huang clenched his fist in determination.

Chapter 208: Wildfire Sword - Worldly Purification
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Despite the modified GoldEagle11 having immense power, the consecutive shots fired by the weapon were still incapable of breaking through The Final Fortress defense.
Lin Huang stayed at his original position and remained silent for a moment, transforming his BlackEagle11 back into a weapon ring. He then put it back in his storage space.
The audience was quietly watching the battle. If Lin Huang was not wearing a face mask, the audience would have seen the frustration on his face at this very moment.
Right after he morphed his GoldEagle11 into a weapon ring, Lin Huang took out another gold-level weapon ring.
Upon activating the ring, it transformed into a gold-level sword.
Many of the audience shook their head as they saw this as they felt that the effects of the sword would be inferior to that of the gun he was using previously.
A majority of the sword techniques could slash through objects. However, against such a large, ball-shaped object, having bullets fired at one point would definitely be better than an attempt to cut through it.
Of course, Lin Huang knew this but he insisted on trying it out as his epic-level sword skills could complement the sword in his hand so that he could transfer the power to achieve more powerful slashes. Furthermore, among all the sword skills that he had learned, not all of them were slashing skills. Some of them were piercing skills instead.
Two out of 36 forms in Great Sword Scripture were piercing skills.
One of the forms in Wildfire Sword was a piercing skill as well.
Lin Huang held a sword in both hands as his Life Power flowed through the sword's handle. Soon, the surface of the gold-level sword was shrouded in a silver glow, causing the sword to look like it had grown a centimeter longer.
He bent his body and stomped on the ground hard with his feet. The arena beneath his feet instantly collapsed, creating a crevasse. He then lunged towards the defensive layer. In just a blink of an eye, he was right in front of the defensive layer.
"Sword23!" Lin Huang shouted. The gold-level sword in his hand streaked past the air, creating the illusion of multiple swords attempting to pierce the defensive layer. However, the attack did not cut through the defensive layer. Instead, it pierced through the ball-shaped object.
In an instant, the blade of the sword had penetrated through the defensive layer. However, it was stuck at the depth of about two to three centimeters in. Lin Huang could obviously feel that within the defensive layer, a tremendously terrifying repulsive force was being transferred to the tip of the sword.
Lin Huang stayed at his original position for less than one second and the repulsive force was then transferred to Lin Huang's arm.
Lin Huang had no choice but to retract his sword and retreat. He was only able to balance himself when he reached the edge of the arena which was less than two meters from the defensive layer.
"His defensive layer does not only have a heavy physical structure, it possesses a strong repulsive force as well. The deeper it is, the stronger the repulsive force becomes. That being said, the interior structure of the defensive layer is even stronger. It's no wonder nobody was capable of breaking through his defense…" Lin Huang estimated the basic structure of his defensive layer based on its counterattack.
However, understanding the structure of the defensive layer did not mean that he could get rid of it. He felt even more helpless instead.
"It might be easier if there was only a physical defensive layer. However, there is a repulsive force within the defensive layer itself…" Lin Huang sighed and took a few steps backwards until he was less than 10 meters away.
He stood still, grabbing his sword with one hand and taking a deep breath. Again, he stepped the ground hard and lunged towards the defensive layer.
"Sword23!"
In mid-air, the gold-level sword in Lin Huang's hand seemed like it had torn through the layers of air in its way. It did not only create the illusion of multiple swords but it created a vacuum in its wake as it penetrated the defensive layer without hindrance.
The tip of the sword had pierced through a depth of five to six centimeters.
Witnessing the power of his sword, the audience was astonished as they saw such a powerful penetrative force.
However, they felt sorry for Lin Huang.
"Sword Genius is unlucky to encounter him in battle. Otherwise, with such power, he could even pierce through gold-level defense equipment!"
"It seems for someone with his abilities, even when faced with Ebonella who was ranked second on the leaderboard, he'd be able to achieve an 80-win streak. However, he was unlucky enough to bump into The Final Fortress…"
Although Lin Huang had been trying again and again, with each time yielding improved results, a majority of people in the crowd did not have faith in Lin Huang.
In the arena, Lin Huang had never stopped trying to break through the defensive layer.
He failed during his second attack and retreated to the edge of the arena again.
Behind his mask, he looked rather stressed.
Although the 36 forms of Great Sword Scripture were comprised of various skills, its attack power was somehow weaker than Wildfire Sword.
Lin Huang turned his body, walking towards the edge of the arena. His back approached the transparent defensive layer, leaning against it. He slowly closed his eyes, controlling his breath.
Outside the arena, there was no sound of distractions. Everyone was quietly watching the battle.
Lin Huang tried repeatedly and he never gave up. He had triggered the audience. Some of them who just came for fun began to cheer for Lin Huang. Although they knew that it was unlikely that Lin Huang would win, everyone was still hoping for a miracle.
As he slowly closed his eyes and controlled his breath, he calmed himself down. Lin Huang then opened his eyes and stared at the ball-shaped object.
He grabbed the long sword in his hand tightly, bending his body before stepping on the defensive layer. He suddenly jumped into the air.
A golden glow could be seen on his blade, ignited by the friction in the air, causing golden flames to appear.
Everyone opened their eyes widely when they saw this.
"Worldly Purification!"
It was the strongest form in the arsenal of his sword skill, Wildfire Sword – Worldly Purification!
In order to purge one's sins, the easiest way was to unleash the ultimate power, destroying everything before rebuilding them from the ground up.
It was like a Worldly Purification. There was no way of turning back and there would be no regret.
With all his strength, he struck an attack that destroyed everything in his way.
This attack had completely emptied the Life Power in all the Life Wheels in Lin Huang's body, allowing Lin Huang to strike with an attack that was stronger than ever.
A beam of fire streaked across the sky. The air did not only burn from the sheer heat into nothingness, even the area around them began to vibrate slightly.
In just a blink of an eye, a golden star crashed into the defensive, ball-shaped object that resembled an indestructible wall…

Chapter 209: Can He Grow Swords From His Body?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Bang!"
A bright, golden glow that was as bright as sunlight shone as the golden spark of Worldly Purification collided with the invincible ball. The entire arena was covered in the golden glow, causing almost everyone in the audience to squint their eyes. The Worldly Purification that Lin Huang performed stunned many in the audience. Nobody expected Sword Genius' sword skills to be as terrifying as this.
Even some of the gold-level people were shocked as they could tell from his performance that Lin Huang had mastered the skill. The Worldly Purification that he had just performed was almost perfect. Such skill could usually only be performed by transcendents but Lin Huang managed to unleash it almost perfectly. Though his combat strength that was not on par, his understanding of sword skills were comparable to transcendents who have mastered the Dao of the sword.
"Can he break it through?" Many of them who were not rooting for Lin Huang were now undecided. Theoretically, such a stunning hit should destroy everything that was on the same level. However, Sword Genius' opponent had the strongest defense in history. Nobody could tell what would happen next, not even Lin Huang himself…
Under the golden glow, a small portion of Lin Huang's battle sword was pierced into the invincible defensive layer. An intense force was stopping his sword from piercing it. However, Lin Huang was far from exhausting his strength. The golden glow seemed to have a melting effect to the defensive layer, his sword was piercing into the ball slowly. 10 centimeters, 20 centimeters, 25 centimeters…
Suddenly, the tip of the sword touched a layer that was even tougher.
"Pierce through it!" Lin Huang shouted. He transferred all his remaining strength onto his sword, attempting to break through the tough layer. However, just as he was doing that, an immense force flowed right back at his sword.
"Bang!" Another bang was heard, however, Lin Huang did not step back at all. Veins were bulging all over his arms as all his Life Power filled his sword, hoping to break through the defensive. Suddenly, he heard an indistinct cracking sound.
"Did I break it through?" Lin Huang was happy inside. On the contrary, he looked at his sword and he was speechless. His sword was cracking from the intense collision.
The surface was not the only thing cracking as the internal structure of the sword began cracking as well. The Life Power transfer was almost complete but the force from within the defensive layer was getting increasingly stronger. Finally, the force was fully released from the gap where the sword pierced through. Under the force, the battle sword in Lin Huang's hand completed broke.
"F*ck!" Lin Huang did not even have the time to show his distress as the force hit him, hard.
If not for his stunning body physique, he would have been badly injured from this force. He fell hard against the wall of the arena, the impact making him puke blood on the ground. The golden glow disappeared when his body was struck against the defensive wall where the audience was sitting.
"What happened?"
"Sword Genius is only left with the hilt of the sword. What's happening?"
"He's really left with the sword's hilt. There are golden sword pieces on the ground…"
"How could it be? His sword is completed broken and yet he failed to break through the ball?!"
"No matter how powerful he is, this ends here. Relics are prohibited on the first to the ninth floor. if he can't win it with a gold-level weapon, there's nothing else he can do."
Lin Huang fell slowly from the defensive wall of the arena. He was slightly injured but he did not care at all. He stood right up on the ground and looked at the hilt in his hand, letting out an awkward smile. He tossed the hilt away and looked at the ball. The crack that the sword pierced through earlier was now completely healed. There was no trace of the crack at all.
"This is some really powerful defense. Aside from a relic, there's nothing else that can break through it… However, relics are prohibited here and even if they're not, I can't activate them with my Life Power…" Lin Huang stood there as he attempted to come up with a plan.
"Should I use that now?"
The only thing that Lin Huang could come up with was Blood Spirit - a skill he got from Bai. He remembered clearly back when Bai was still silver-level, the power of his Blood Spirit wings surpassed all the gold-level weapons they encountered. Its strength was close to a relic. Since Bai was gold-level rank-3 now, his Blood Spirit wings were as powerful as a relic. Although Lin Huang was only silver-level rank-3 now, but his Blood Spirit wings should not be any weaker than Bai when he was silver-level rank-3.
He looked up at the time, 18 minutes had passed. He was left with 12 minutes before the match would be considered a draw. He knew that he did not have much time left.
"Even a gold-level weapon could not do it. It seems like there's nothing else that I can use to break through this defensive layer besides my Blood Spirit wings…" Lin Huang had always put the Blood Spirit wings as his trump card, his final move to use against Yu Moli. However, it seemed like if he did not use his Blood Spirit wings now, there was no way he could win this battle.
After standing still for a moment, Lin Huang had finally made up his mind. The audience had lost faith in him ever since his sword broke. Without a relic, there was no way that Sword Genius could win this battle. However, Lin Huang stood up straight, the frown under his mask turning to an expression of relief. Seeing that, the audience became excited.
"Could he have something even more powerful up his sleeves?!"
"It can't be! What he performed just now was already so powerful. How is it possible that he has something even better?!"
"Why do I have the feeling that Sword Genius might turn it around?"
"This must be an illusion. His gold-level weapon is broken now, what else can he use? Perhaps he can grow swords from his body…"
Lin Huang's eyes turned a shade of red. At the same time, Blood Spirit spread out of his pores and enveloped his body. A pair of gigantic Blood Spirit wings grew out of his back.

Chapter 210: The Most Powerful Spear Versus The Toughest Shield
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
What just happened in the ring shocked everyone around the audience.
"Is that vampire's blood power?!"
"Could Sword Genius's real identity be a vampire?"
"That's a dumb thing to say, how is it possible that the Hunter Arena could not recognize a monster?! Sword Genius must be a human with monster skills!"
"This is interesting." The young man in the golden robe who had been sat quietly chuckled to himself.
"The four Blood Spirit wings are a monster skill of a gold-level. However, no matter how strong it is, it would be the same with a gold-level weapon. It is quite impossible that this could break through the defensive layer which was from a blood inheritance," said a man in a black robe.
"The blood power of a gold-level vampire is the same as a gold-level weapon but if it is a mutated vampire, the strength of the blood power should be much more powerful than a gold-level weapon. If Sword Genius obtained his Blood Spirit wings from a mutated monster, it's quite possible to break through the defense when it's used together with the sword attack earlier." The man in golden robe replied.
"A vampire is a human type of monster with high intelligence. The mutated ones would have even higher intelligence and ability. Do you think Sword Genius, who is only a silver-level rank-3, would be able to kill a gold-level mutated vampire?" The man in black robe asked. The man in golden robe went into silence.
Lin Huang unleashed his four Blood Spirit wings in the ring. The bloody color camouflaged his Blood Spirit wings which now looked the same as blood power wings. It meant he did not have to do anything to conceal them. Now that his eyes were red, everything he was seeing was red too. What surprised him was the ball across from him changed color as well. It was not a grayish-white ball anymore but was now a flaming red. It seemed like it was made of lava that was rotating in circles.
"The rotation must be the internal force of the defensive layer…" Lin Huang smirked as he did not expect himself to be able to see how the ball's internal force worked when he activated Blood Spirit .
"The light color must be the weak point of the defensive layer. As it rotates, the weak point changes its location. That's why the defensive layer seems to be flawless from the outside." Lin Huang could see that where ever the color was darker, the force that was protecting that particular point would be stronger while the lighter the color, the less force would be protecting it which meant it had lower defense.
His vision now allowed him to see the flaws in a seemingly flawless defensive layer.
"I shall use Worldly Purification again; I don't believe that it can't break your tortoise-shell!" Underneath the mask, Lin Huang looked confident. The Blood Spirit wing on the top right transformed into a long sword with Life Power flowing through it. This time, the Blood Spirit wing drained three circles of his Life Power. The surface of the sword was burning in a golden flame.
"He's using that again!" Seeing the sword on fire, everyone in the audience became excited. Lin Huang stepped on the defensive wall behind him and leaped towards the ball at lightning speed. His speed was even faster than the last time, like a shooting star in space. Once again, even the air was retreating from its existence, and in an instance, Lin Huang had leaped 20 meters away and arrived right before the ball. The Blood Spirit wing covered in golden flames was like a star destroyer when colliding with the invincible wall.
"Bang!" A spark that was brighter than before lighted up the ring. It was as bright as the sun at noon. This time, all of the people in the audience closed their eyes as they could not look into the blazing sun. The gigantic blood spirit wing released boundless sparks right at the weak points of the ball. Lin Huang did not feel any force coming against his wing while it transformed into a sword and pierced through the ball landing on the wall across from them.
Although the people could not see what was happening in the ring due to the intense golden flame, most of them heard a cracking sound.
"Is the defensive layer broken?!" They were shocked as they tried to open their eyes to look. However, it was impossible for them to do so as it was too bright so nobody could tell what happened in the ring. What they did not know was that the cracking sound came from the wall in the ring, not the defense layer of The Final Fortress. It was the first time the defensive wall on the sixth floor arena had cracked…
The ball blocked Lin Huang's vision, so he did not know what had happened to the defensive wall. He thought the cracking sound was the breaking of the ball. He looked at his wing, most of it was inside the defensive ball. He was relieved as from what he was seeing; he had won the battle. Above all, The Final Fortress who was sitting inside the ball was the one who got the biggest shock. Although nobody could see through the ball, he could see everything from the inside.
From the inside, the ball was the same as a pane of transparent glass. He saw everything Lin Huang had been doing for the last 20 minutes.
He was shocked the first time when Lin Huang used the Worldly Purification form as his sword had penetrated almost 30 centimeters into the ball. It touched the last layer of defense before he withdrew it. What shocked him the most was Lin Huang's last attack which seemed like it was not even affected at all. Instead, it pierced straight into the ball, through his chest and back. What was more terrifying was that the sword even pierced through the defensive layer behind his back…
It was the first time that The Final Fortress lost a battle on the sixth floor of the arena. He always thought that he was invincible.
"I didn't know a silver-level rank-3 could be this powerful…" The Final Fortress spat blood while in shock, he could clearly feel that the wing had pierced through his body and was absorbing his will to live. Within seconds, he was dead.
His body then disappeared altogether with the grayish-white ball.
"Congratulations. You have won the battle!"
Before the golden flame faded, Lin Huang received the notification of him winning. In the next second, an announcement from the system echoed through the entire arena.
"Congratulations! Player Sword Genius defeated keeper The Final Fortress on the sixth floor of the arena and has won 80 consecutive battles!"

Chapter 211: 80-Win Streak!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Congratulations! Player Sword Genius defeated keeper The Final Fortress on the sixth floor of the arena and won 80 consecutive battles!"
The online players were not the only ones to receive the notification, but all registered players who were offline also received a notification too. The last person who managed to achieve 80 consecutive wins in Division7 Hunter Arena was 118 years ago. Without a doubt, Lin Huang had broken the ice that formed more than 100 years ago!
The 12 senior executive officers in the Hunter Association were shocked. When they saw the notification, they looked for the shared video of the battle. All of them shook their heads after they watched the video without saying a word. However, Old Li and Xu Tianyu were in distress. Old Li blamed himself for underestimating and excluding Lin Huang from the focus training list by judging him too fast. Meanwhile, Xu Tianyu blamed himself for asking for Mr. Fu's help. If not for Mr. Fu, Lin Huang would be on the list of Hunter Association's focus training and be trained as a candidate for the senior executive officer role.
Unfortunately, everything was too late now…
The news of Lin Huang's 80 consecutive wins caught the dark organization's attention. They were trying to find out who this Sword Genius was. They knew very well that if Lin Huang were found and trained by the Hunter Association, he would be a transcendent one day and become a nightmare to the dark organization. Therefore, they were eager to find out Sword Genius's identity so that they could get Lin Huang into their organization before it was too late.
Many of the registered players who had yet to enter the arena were shocked when they saw the notification. All of them knew that the last person who got 80 consecutive wins was more than 100 years ago. Many players logged into the game on purpose just to see who this Sword Genius was. He became a hot topic in the arena as he managed to get 60, 70 and 80 consecutive wins within a single day. With all the time taken added up, he had taken less than one hour to achieve that.
The sixth floor of the arena was the most crowded place inside of the Hunter arena as all of the players were discussing Lin Huang with each other. It was a miracle that that had happened on the sixth floor. Moreover, everyone was familiar with the keepers who fought Lin Huang.
"Has Sword Genius really won 80 battles back to back?"
"Not only that he even defeated The Final Fortress, even Yu Moli had never defeated that fella before."
"The ability of Sword Genius is too terrifying. Since he defeated The Final Fortress, does that mean he's even more powerful than Yu Moli?"
"Let's see if he can achieve a miracle and continue to 90 consecutive wins…"
It was very crowded outside venue No.1 on the sixth floor of the arena. However, there was nothing but complete silence in the venue as everyone was shocked at the announcement. They had no idea what just happened. The golden flame in the ring faded after the announcement came over the system. After The Final Fortress had disappeared, it was only then Lin Huang realized that he had broken the wall in the ring. Before the golden glow had entirely faded away, Lin Huang retracted his blood spirit wings, immediately concealing them from the crowd but soon after he started to feel the exhaustion in his body from the battle.
Using the Worldly Purification form twice had drained four circles of his Life Power with more than half of his last Life Wheel exhausted.
The Hunter Arena was a simulation of what happened in real life; therefore, any Life Power exhaustion in the arena was real, preventing players from refilling their Life Power after every battle. Even if a player died in the ring, their bodies would be rebuilt by the system on the same day but their Life Power would remain the same without being refilled. The setting was to prevent players from getting too addicted to the game and reduce the risk of people dying in cyber cafes in the real world.
If a player had drained too much Life Power in a day, they could only come back on the next day to refill their Life Power. If they logged-in on the very same day, their Life Power would not be refreshed.
It was evident that Lin Huang's body was not ideal to continue to battle. He was not worried about the opponents from the 81st to the 89th fight. However, even if the keeper of the 90th battle might be easier to defeat than The Final Fortress, he would be anything but weak. With his condition, he thought it would be disrespectful to his opponents.
"Would you like to continue to battle?"
After staring at the notification with some thought, Lin Huang chose to leave the battle. As his body was breaking into pieces and disappeared, the audience just managed to open their eyes from the golden glow that had faded away as he left.
"He's not fighting anymore?" Many of them were disappointed.
"Perhaps the last battle was too much for his body and he must rest now. After all, The Final Fortress was not an easy fight."
"Guys look! There are cracks in the arena's defensive wall…" Someone shouted.
A guy who was sitting very close to the wall looked at the wall and realized there were cracks. He stood up and pressed against the wall. A cracking sound was heard as the guy touched it and the wall broke into pieces. Everyone was shocked at the scene.
"It's not me! There were cracks before I went there, all I did was give it a light push…" The guy explained.
Of course, the rest knew it was not the guy's fault. They knew it must be Sword Genius who did that as The Final Fortress stayed in his defensive mode throughout the entire battle without attacking. As the ball completely blocked the previous attack of Sword Genius, the only thing that could happen was the sword that pierced through the ball and penetrated straight into the wall.
Everyone thought it was terrifying, all of them knew that the arena wall was unbreakable even with a gold-level weapon from a gold-level rank-3 hunter.
When the man in a black robe, who hadn't been rooting for Lin Huang saw the broken wall, he said, "I underestimated him, this Sword Genius really is something."
"Hehe… The best of him and Yu Moli…" The young man in golden robe smirked.
"I believe he would be fighting Yu Moli the next time he logs into the game." The man in a black robe nodded.
Standing outside the ring on the sixth floor, the silver mask on Lin Huang's face faded away. Seeing the battle clips of his battle with The Final Fortress, made Lin Huang smirk. He then looked at his scoreboard.
"Nickname: Sword Genius"
"Combat Strength: Silver-Level Rank-3"
"Battle Count: 80"
"Accumulated Points: 10138"
"Winning Percentage: 100%."
"Honor: 80th winning streak!"
"I have finally accumulated more than 10,000 points! After I finish the keeper tomorrow, I will have completed the mission that master gave!" Lin Huang was confident. He smirked as he heard everyone around him discussing Sword Genius. Soon after he logged out of the game to let his Life Power regenerate.

Chapter 212: Level-2 Sword Power Realm
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After exiting the Hunter Arena, Lin Huang saw that the top news on the game's page was about him - Player Sword Genius has broken the ice that lasted a hundred years and achieved 80 consecutive wins!
Posted just a couple of minutes before; there were more than a million views on the news with more than 50,000 comments. Lin Huang turned off the page after taking a look.
It was past 10 in the morning, he dropped by the wet market and bought some food to take home and it was past 11 when he got back. After cooking grilled meat for Lin Xuan on the third floor, he got down to the kitchen to make lunch for himself and Lin Xin. Although ordering takeaway food would save a lot of time, nothing could beat a good home cooked meal. Since he was not busy, he chose to prepare lunch himself.
It was almost noon when he finally finished the cooking. After placing the food he cooked and the grilled meat on the dining table, Lin Huang got both kids to come to the dining table. After lunch, he got back to his room and downloaded his battle videos. He played all the videos of him fighting the keepers while writing notes to look for ways to improve himself. All of the videos taken were from Lin Huang's point of view, the audience could not see everything that had happened, but the official videos were clear to him.
He was surprised as he watched the battle with The Final Fortress where he used the Worldly Purification form twice. He managed to upgrade the sword skill to its ultimate form. The feeling was completely different than before. However, Lin Huang could not tell what exactly was different. He almost got it after repeating the video a couple of times, but he did not manage to grasp what it was.
With doubt, he called Mr. Fu.
"What's wrong? You've accomplished the mission already?" Mr. Fu was surprised that Lin Huang called. Lin Huang last consulted Mr. Fu during New Year's Eve, when he was only at his 50th winning streak. It had just been four days since New Year's Eve and also the first time the Hunter Arena had reopened since the new year, and this surprised Mr. Fu.
"Not yet, I'm on No.13 now. I've exhausted my Life Power and needed to log out of the game. I have something to ask you, master." Lin Huang told the reason why he called.
"Sure, do tell." Mr. Fu nodded and put down his stuff in his hand. Lin Huang told Mr. Fu his struggle while Mr. Fu listened carefully. As he finished, Mr. Fu laughed and said, "If I'm not wrong, your power realm should be nuance now, am I right?"
"Nuance?" Lin Huang was puzzled.
"The first level of the sword power realm is called nuance. Once you enter that level, you'll have full mastery of your sword where all forms will be under your control. You'll have full control of everything you can see with your naked eyes."
"The unique sense that you mentioned earlier should be the second level of the sword power realm. The second level of the sword power realm is called consonance. It is the resonance you have with your sword. When you reach this level, the sword is no longer a tool but a partner or friend. You can even sense the emotion of your sword."
"The feeling that you mentioned about the two sword attacks that you performed earlier could have meant that you've arrived at the nuance level. With the trigger from the outside world as well as your heightened focus, it caused you to enter the consonance stage temporarily. However, you could take this opportunity to enter the second level of the realm. Don't go back to the arena for a couple of days. Take this time to train and see if you can break through." Mr. Fu suggested after listening to Lin Huang's problem.
"This is what I thought of as well. If I could grab the feeling properly, my skill would be a level higher than before." Lin Huang wanted to study the feeling before it disappeared to see if he could level-up his sword skill.
"I will send you a few videos about the consonance stage. Maybe they could inspire you."
Mr. Fu hung up the phone later on. Soon after, he sent more than ten videos to Lin Huang, who downloaded the videos and watched them one by one. After watching the videos, Lin Huang watched his battle videos repeatedly. He had a clear picture in his mind now. Taking out a wooden sword, he leaped from the balcony of the second floor and started training the different forms of Wildfire Sword at the courtyard on the first floor. One… Two… Three times...
He trained until five in the evening before he finally managed to grasp the unique feeling that he felt in the arena. Just like what Mr. Fu said, he could feel it in the sword. It seemed to be different than before and it felt like he was not holding a weapon as it felt more and more like a part of his body. The sword also felt like an individual creature. It was a contradictory condition.
"Is this the consonance state?"
After grasping the feeling, Lin Huang immersed himself into it and started training without stopping. He trained until past ten at night without noticing. When Lin Huang finally snapped out of the zone, he realized that it was late - 10:28 p.m. He went back into the house immediately thinking that the two kids had yet to have dinner.
"Brother, are you done with your training?" Lin Xin was in the living room.
"Yes, I bet you guys haven't eaten?" Lin Huang asked.
"I saw you training when it was past six in the evening, so I made Lin Xuan grilled meat and heated up the leftover lunch. There's some in the oven, go eat it." Lin Xin smiled at Lin Huang.
Lin Huang went into the kitchen and ate the leftovers.
"Is there any news today?" Lin Huang asked while eating as he had not read the news since noon.
"There's a big one. It said that there's a person who accumulated 80 consecutive wins in the Hunter Arena in Division7. Everyone on the network is talking about this." Lin Xin nodded and said, "They say the last person who managed to get 80 wins was more than 100 years ago…"
Lin Huang nodded without saying anything. He knew that the winning streak would make big news in Division7. Now the news had circulated in the hunter community as well as the Heart Network. It was almost 11 at night when Lin Huang finished eating, he got Lin Xin and Lin Xuan to go to bed. After cleaning the cutleries and bowl, he showered and went to bed alone. In the following days, Lin Huang would start training at seven in the morning right after his breakfast until it was after 11 at night, training for more than 16 hours each day.
Since he managed to grasp the feeling of the consonance stage on the first day, he now had to train with the feeling to perfect the form in the following days. He could clearly feel that he was mastering the consonance stage as time passed. Soon, five days had passed. At midday, Lin Huang stood in the middle of the courtyard and kept a firm grasp on his sword while smirking.
"I have finally mastered the second stage of the sword power realm. Tomorrow I shall continue to battle in the arena. I wonder who my keeper will be, could it be Yu Moli or Ebonella?"

Chapter 213: Unbelievable Fate Changer
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the next morning, Lin Huang went to the Hunter Arena page in his room after having breakfast. The top news on the main page was still the news of his 80 consecutive wins where the views were up to 100 million with 800,000 comments. If Hunter Arena was opened to Regular Hunters that were below bronze-level, perhaps the views would be 10 times more. After reading the next page and failing to find anything worth his time reading, Lin Huang logged into the game.
He noticed that he had more than five million followers now and still counting.
"I'm an influencer now…" Lin Huang was shocked when he saw the number of followers that he had. He only had 300,000 followers five days ago and it had been less than a week and his followers were now 17 to 18 times more. Just as he logged into the game, a notification was sent to everyone who followed him.
Many of them logged into the game early in the morning as they wanted to wait for Lin Huang's entrance. They wanted to see Sword Genius live in action.
Just like what happened on earth where people would buy a plane ticket to fly to another country just to watch a football or basketball match. It was different watching a live battle than one on the television and people hoped to see Sword Genius creating more miracles.
Lin Huang checked his body condition, it was good as new with full Life Power. After confirming, he pressed the challenge button. Soon, he was sent to the No.1 ring on the sixth floor. Theoretically, the No.1 ring was meant for players who ranked top 10. It was the first time the system allowed this to happen as Lin Huang defeated Explosive Female Demon who ranked 5th in his 70th battle. Now that he was sent to the No.1 ring, it was clear that the system did some restructuring and gave Lin Huang the privilege like other players in the top 10.
Lin Huang was familiar with this ring, but this time when he entered the room there was nobody inside.
"Did I come too early?" Lin Huang thought it was strange.
"Please hold on, the system is expanding the venue…"
Seeing the notification, Lin Huang realized that the venue was expanding. When Lin Huang pressed the challenge button earlier, all of his followers who were online received the same notification.
"Player Sword Genius has entered the ring No.1!"
Many of them wanted to enter the venue but they then received another notification that said 'the venue is under maintenance, please enter later…'.
The seats available in the venue were increasing from 300,000 to one million within one minute.
"The expansion is completed, the audience can now enter venue No.1."
Seeing the notification, many clicked to enter the venue. Within half a minute, the one million seats were taken.
Most of the audience was watching Lin Huang's battle live for the first time. Seeing Lin Huang with a silver mask on, many of them were curious about what he really looked like.
"Please wait while the system matches your opponent…"
A notification appeared on top of the ring. Lin Huang did not think it was odd that the system had yet to match him an opponent as he had accumulated more than 10,000 points now, there were not many people who were eligible to fight him.
What he did not know was, a sleepy young man received a message from the arena. He looked at the message and thought it was a mistake.
"I haven't even logged into the game, why did they give me a match!" He did not even bother to read the full message. Just when he was attempting to delete the message, the arena called. It was the voice of a robot.
"We're sorry to interrupt you, Unbelievable Fate Changer , you have been matched to fight Sword Genius . This is a special mission from the arena, if you defeat Sword Genius , you'll be rewarded with 10 times more for whatever points you accumulate during the match. If you'd like to accept the challenge, please log in within three minutes."
"Failure to log in within three minutes results as the player surrendering and losing the match. Declining the challenge will not result in any punishment, you have the freedom to choose if you'll battle or not."
"10 times more?! Doesn't that mean I could get to rank No.2 straightaway!" Unbelievable Fate Changer sat up immediately.
"But my opponent is the one who defeated Explosive Female Demon and The Final Fortress five days ago…"
"Damn it, I shall give it a try! Since I won't lose anything even if I do get defeated." Unbelievable Fate Changer put on his slippers and entered the arena.
After waiting for more than two minutes, Lin Huang's opponent finally appeared. It was Unbelievable Fate Changer in his pajamas and slippers, the audience was speechless at his attire. He seemed to have just got out of bed as there was still gunk at the corner of his eyes. It was obvious that he entered the arena before he got the time to clean himself.
However, Lin Huang was not surprised at the random opponent he'd been given. Unbelievable Fate Changer ranked No.10 on the sixth-floor leaderboard with more than 12,000 points. Encountering such powerful opponent in his 81st battle, Lin Huang could foresee who was going to be his next opponent.
"That means I'll have to fight those who ranked No.10 to No.1 during my 81st to 90th battles then? If I defeat Yu Moli, who would be my opponent after my 90th battle?"
Lin Huang was thinking of that, the audience was thinking the same thing too. Unbelievable Fate Changer stood across from Lin Huang and tossed his slippers aside while digging his ears. "You must be thinking who will your opponents be after me, am I right?"
"Yeah, I was guessing." Lin Huang nodded.
"However, looking at your condition, I supposed you were not online before you were sent here, am I right? What did the arena offer you that you are willing to give up your sleep to fight me?"
"The arena is generous…" Unbelievable Fate Changer laughed when he heard what Lin Huang asked.
"They said I would get 10 times more of my current accumulated points if I defeat you, I don't think anybody could reject such a sweet temptation."
"Oh really, thanks." Lin Huang was surprised. The audience finally understood that the arena treated Sword Genius as the ultimate boss in the game so they came up with a matching reward. It was normal that many would be willing to try their luck since they would not lose anything anyway. The countdown was ending, the fight between Sword Genius and Unbelievable Fate Changer would start in a nick of time!

Chapter 214: All The Best to You
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Unbelievable Fate Changer was ranked No.10 on the sixth floor of the arena. He was also the first player that Lin Huang studied as his battle method was unique. Lin Huang had researched his family too. His name was Ji Qingyang, a member of royalty. The Ji family was a special family who was an expert in predicting the future, including Ji Qingyang himself. He could always predict what his opponent was going to do next and he would react before his opponent could attack. Such predictions were even more powerful than the times when Lin Huang encountered the gunmasters. It was like mind-reading.
However, Unbelievable Fate Changer had an obvious flaw in his body physique because it was just slightly stronger than an ordinary silver-level rank-3 player. He was much weaker than Lin Huang and Yu Moli. If his opponent was fast, even with his prediction, he would not have enough time to react. The easiest way to fight him was to be so fast that he couldn't avoid the attacks.
As the countdown ended, Lin Huang took out his silver-level battle sword. He was like lightning when he lunged towards Unbelievable Fate Changer who was 15 meters away within seconds. It was so fast that the audience could not catch him. In reality, Unbelievable Fate Changer had predicted that, but before he could react, Lin Huang had already passed by him.
"I'm sorry, I needed to do this quick." Lin Huang kept his sword. Blood spilled from Unbelievable Fate Changer's waist, his body had been sliced into half.
"Congratulations, you have won the battle!"
"You managed to kill your opponent in one hit, you have obtained 2 points!"
Seeing the body of Unbelievable Fate Changer disappear and the notification from the system, left the audience shocked.
"How could Sword Genius have managed to kill Unbelievable Fate Changer who ranked No.10 in one hit?!"
"I thought this match would take a while, it ended so quickly."
"Sword Genius's attack was too fast, so fast that Unbelievable Fate Changer had no time to react at all."
"This Sword Genius is even more terrifying than before…" The man in black robe said.
"It's just the Thunder Sword form but it seems like he was in a state where his speed and attack power was multiplied. This kid is really something!" The man in golden robe exclaimed.
Lin Huang who stood in the ring was stunned as a notification popped up after he killed Unbelievable Fate Changer.
"You have learned a new form of Thunder Sword by yourself. Would you like to upgrade Thunder Sword ?"
"Will it exhaust an Advance Card if I upgrade it?" Lin Huang asked Xiao Hei in his mind.
"There's no need for an Advance Card since you learned it yourself, there won't be any need for cards."
"Upgrade it then!" After hearing what Xiao Hei said, Lin Huang upgraded his Rare Skill Card - Thunder Sword immediately.
"Are you sure you would like to upgrade your skill card Thunder Sword ?"
"Affirmative!"
"Upgrading… Upgrade has been completed!"
"Congratulations, you have received an Epic Skill Card - Thunder Sting ."
Lin Huang looked at his new skill card immediately.
"Skill Card"
"Skill Card Name: Thunder Sting"
"Rarity: Epic"
"Type of Skill: Sword skill"
"Skill Level: Unknown"
"Status: Available"
"Description: This is a sword skill that gives ultimate speed before ending with an explosion."
"Remarks: Life Power is needed for the skill's activation."
"Card Remarks: Not bad"
When he was done checking the card, Lin Huang realized that he was sent back to the original spot in the ring and his second opponent was there across him. It was Salt36 who ranked 9th! Seeing his appearance, Lin Huang was now sure that the system had arranged for him to fight the players ranked from 11th to1st! He was familiar with Salt36 as well. His real name was Yan Xuan. Coming from a big royal family, there were 36 of them in his generation with himself being the youngest. He gave himself that nickname from the sound of his family name Yan.
"Salt36 has great ability, he's an expert in close-quarter combat and fire combat skill. He's known as a mini Yu Moli in the arena as he always gave people the impression that he's the weaker version of Yu Moli but he's not weak at all. He's actually considered very powerful or else he wouldn't be ranked No.10 on the leaderboard. However, he's definitely weaker than Yu Moli in all aspects. Since Yu Moli is also an expert in fire combat, that was the reason why he gave people such an impression to begin with."
Encountering Salt36, Lin Huang thought he wouldn't be difficult to defeat as long as he did not use his sword.
"Are you here to have your accumulated points multiplied ten times as well?" Lin Huang raised his eyebrow.
"Of course. Maybe I'll get lucky today." Salt36 grinned.
"That's true…" Lin Huang had nothing to say to his comeback.
As the countdown ended, Salt36 lunged towards Lin Huang with silver Life Power burning in both his palms. Within seconds, he appeared before Lin Huang. Lin Huang did not seem to move at all and a thunder-like silver glow flashed in the air right before his silver battle sword pierced into Salt36's chest in the blink of an eye. Salt36 was shocked as he looked at his chest, he had no idea how Lin Huang did it. All he saw was darkness in his eyes.
"Congratulations. You have won the battle!"
"You managed to kill your opponent in one hit, you have obtained 2 points!"
As Salt36 fell to the ground, his body disintegrated into pieces and disappeared. After the consecutive wins, South Palace Laugh who ranked 8th failed to appear in the third battle so Lin Huang won that match automatically.
On the fourth battle, Lin Huang encountered Hunter Killer who was ranked 7th. Hunter Killer was a killer who was an expert in camouflage. However, with Lin Huang's sense circle, he managed to kill Hunter Killer in one hit. On the fifth battle, Lin Huang was matched with Lord of Falling Petals who was ranked 6th. He was a young man who was an expert in illusions. However, with Lin Huang's Kaleidoscope skill which was very resilient against illusion skills, he managed to kill Lord of Falling Petals in one hit as well.
Finally, Lin Huang had arrived at his sixth battle to fight Explosive Female Demon, the same one that he had encountered before. Many of them in the audience whistled when they saw Explosive Female Demon, who had appeared in a black uniform. However, the both of them could not hear anything that was coming from the audience.
"So we meet again…" Lin Huang recalled her saying that she had wanted to get her revenge after the last time.
"Yes, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon." Explosive Female Demon grinned.
"Do you remember what I said the last time?"
"You said you surrender." Lin Huang pretended that he did not remember.
"Not that! The last thing that I said!" Explosive Female Demon stomped her foot.
"Oh, I don't remember." Lin Huang shrugged his shoulders.
"You…" Explosive Female Demon knew for sure that Lin Huang had not forgotten what she said as it had just happened five days ago
"I said I would get my revenge on you!"
"Oh, that, now I remember." Lin Huang nodded.
Explosive Female Demon was furious at Lin Huang's attitude, "Sword Genius, your illusion will not work on me anymore. What I said to you five days ago shall become a reality! I shall take my revenge on you!"
"Oh, all the best to you then." Lin Huang encouraged her in a calm tone.
"I…" Explosive Female Demon had nothing to say to Lin Huang's comeback.

Chapter 215: Besides Her Face and Body, Which Part of Her Looks Like A Lady?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Soon, the countdown ended. Explosive Female Demon activated the two modified Silver Phoenix16 on her hands to the automatic rifle mode and aimed at Lin Huang and pulled the triggers at the same time. Fires were shot, silver bullets were raining towards Lin Huang's direction. Seeing what was happening in the ring, the first impression the audience had of her was, "This lady is violent!"
Meanwhile, Lin Huang decided to change his plan. Instead, he activated Blood Spirit immediately. The four bloody wings extended from his back where the bottom two wings became a two-hemisphere defense layer, blocking all the bullets. The other two wings on top were transformed into whips striking towards Explosive Female Demon. The power of his Blood Spirit wings were much stronger than a gold-level weapon. The defense ability of his shield was no weaker than The Final Fortress', it managed to block all the bullets that were coming from the rifles of Explosive Female Demon.
Under the attack of the whips, Explosive Female Demon had to hide instead of attacking Lin Huang. He then transformed his shield into whips and proceeded to attack. The match was turned around in an instant. Initially, it was Explosive Female Demon who attacked Sword Genius without mercy but now that Sword Genius was attacking Explosive Female Demon with four whips it was Lin Huang who showed no mercy.
"Sword Genius is definitely more powerful in this match!"
"Four whips, this Sword Genius must have some fetish…"
"How could he bully a lady like this?"
"Besides her face and body, which part of Explosive Female Demon looks like a lady?"
Although Explosive Female Demon was trying her best to avoid the rapid attack of the four Blood Spirit wings, it was tough for her. Soon her left leg was caught by one of the Blood Spirit wings. As she struggled, another three Blood Spirit wings were transformed into sharp blades that pierced through her chest. Explosive Female Demon didn't have much to say about her loss this time as she knew that she was far behind Sword Genius. As she was dying, she gave Lin Huang a deathly stare without saying a word.
Seeing that the body of Explosive Female Demon was fading away, Lin Huang recalled his Blood Spirit wings as her bloody eyes returned to normal.
"Congratulations. You have won the battle!"
The audience cheered as they heard the notification. Lin Huang had managed to win 86 battles consecutively, nobody doubted his ability now. Even some of them who criticized him for beating Explosive Female Demon with illusion forms earlier now agreed that Lin Huang was powerful.
Soon, his opponent for the 87th battle was sent to the ring. As expected, it was Handsome Imperial Censor who was ranked 4th on the leaderboard. Handsome Imperial Censor wore a white suit with his hair properly combed, he looked like he was on a date. Although he was quite good looking, giving himself such a nickname and dressing like this had backfired. Many of them gave him another nickname, Narcissistic Imperial Censor.
Lin Huang did not think that he was a tough competitor as he had killed more monsters than humans and monsters usually had flaws that were usually more obvious than a human's flaws. Besides, new types of monster weaknesses could be found in the monster encyclopedia. Lin Huang was familiar with Handsome Imperial Censor's summoning monster.
After checking out Lin Huang, Handsome Imperial Censor said, "Sword Genius, you're in bad luck today as I just obtained my second mutated gold-level rank-3 summoning monster a few days back. I didn't expect to receive a notification from the arena where I would receive 10 times the amount of my accumulated points. I would like to apologize and thank you. Sorry, your winning streak will end here and thank you for the multiplied points, I shall be No.1 on the leaderboard!"
The audience was irked by Handsome Imperial Censor's attitude.
"It's too early to tell that he will win."
"He's just waiting to be killed."
"A gold-level rank-3 mutated monster is powerful, but why do I have a feeling that it's just an appetizer for Sword Genius?"
"You're not the only one, I have the same feeling too…"
Although Handsome Imperial Censor's summoning monster was powerful, none of the people in the audience thought that he would win. Lin Huang was speechless at his arrogance. As the countdown ended, Handsome Imperial Censor summoned both his monsters. Lin Huang knew both of the monsters, one of them was the Gold-Armored Ape that Handsome Imperial Censor had been using, while the other was the newly obtained monster, a Crimsonhorn Python.
The Gold-Armored Ape was a monster with immense strength, speed, and explosive force. Besides its slightly weak agility, it was flawless. In the eye of an Imperial Censor, such a monster was not worth training as there was nothing too outstanding about it. Meanwhile, the Crimsonhorn Python was also a monster with great strength. However, it was just a mediocre monster that was even weaker than the Gold-Armored Ape. Putting them both together would not be any help.
Lin Huang frowned as he saw both of the monsters. It was not because they were powerful, but because of the messy combination. Seeing the gold-level rank-3 mutated monster punting to him, Lin Huang stepped out and avoided the Gold-Armored Ape's punch and landed on the head of the Crimsonhorn Python. He leaped and landed before Handsome Imperial Censor before he took out his sword and slicing through his neck. It only took a single second and the battle had ended.
"I'm sorry that you cannot realize your dream of being No.1 on the leaderboard…" Lin Huang then kept his sword into the scabbard. As Handsome Imperial Censor died, the two summoning monsters that were coming towards Lin Huang disappeared too. It was the rule in the arena when the Imperial Censor was killed, the battle would end and the summoning monsters would disappear together with the dead Imperial Censor.
"Congratulations, you have won the battle!"
"You managed to kill your opponent in one hit, you have obtained 2 points!"
Since the death of Handsome Imperial Censor, many were anticipating the 88th battle as most of them did not see the battle between Sword Genius and The Final Fortress the first time. The battle between the most powerful spear and the toughest shield would definitely be exciting. Moreover, since his loss five days ago, The Final Fortress should be wanting to challenge Lin Huang again to win his pride back. That was what the audience thought.
However, a notification was heard.
"The opponent matched by the system The Final Fortress has rejected the challenge, Sword Genius has won the battle!"
Nobody saw that coming although the audience had expected something like that to happen as the most powerful strength The Final Fortress had was his defense and since Sword Genius managed to break it once, that meant he would be able to break it again. Without strengthening his defense or coming up with another new tactic, he would probably lose the second battle so choosing not to fight was wise.
With The Final Fortress's decline to challenge, Lin Huang managed to win the 88th battle with the 89th battle about to start. Soon, the matching was done and as expected the opponent was a tall, gorgeous lady…

Chapter 216: Ebonella
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"So you're Sword Genius? You don't look like you're anything special." The young lady commented as she checked Lin Huang out.
"I'm just an ordinary person, there's nothing special about me." Lin Huang nodded.
"Can you take off your mask?" The young lady asked.
"Sorry, I can't do that." Lin Huang rejected directly.
"Why not?" The young lady did not give up.
"Because I'm ugly, I don't want to scare people away." Lin Huang came up with an excuse.
"Nevermind then!" The young lady knew that it was just an excuse to mess with her.
Although it was the first time meeting Ebonella, Lin Huang knew her well. She had a variety of combat styles so Lin Huang spent more time studying her videos.
"Are you here for the points as well?" Lin Huang was curious as she did not look like a greedy person. Ever since she entered the top 10, she hardly challenged anymore and most of the time, she was invited to battles by the system instead.
"Of course not, I'm not interested in points or rankings," Ebonella said.
Just when Lin Huang wanted to ask her the actual reason she accepted the challenge, she spoke again.
"I'm interested in you."
It was chaos among the audience as she said those words.
"The beauty is confessing her love in public!"
"Sword Genius is so lucky!"
"Is this love at first sight?"
Ebonella seemed to realize that what she said might be misleading so she added, "I'm just curious about the person who managed to break The Final Fortress' defense."
"His defense was powerful but there was an obvious flaw. Since long as my attack was stronger than his defense, it was not difficult to break through it. There was no skill needed." Lin Huang said.
"Tell me what are my flaws then." Ebonella smiled at Lin Huang.
"Do you really want to know? What I'm going to say might not be something you want to hear." Lin Huang smiled.
"As long as it's reasonable, there's nothing that I can't accept." Ebonella crossed her arms.
As they spoke, the countdown ended. However, they did not have the plan to attack anytime soon.
"Alright, I shall tell you then." Lin Huang nodded.
"You are similar to the Gold-Armored Ape that the Imperial Censor summoned earlier."
"You…" Ebonella became furious as she listened to what Lin Huang described her. However, she wanted to let him finish so she tolerated, "I'll kill you if you don't give me a reasonable explanation!"
The audience gasped as Lin Huang compared Ebonella with the Gold-Armored Ape.
"The Gold-Armored Ape isn't weak at all, no matter how you slice it. Its strength, explosive power, and speed were immensely powerful. However, among all the summoning monsters, it's hard for it to climb to the top. Since it was good in all aspects, it caused the ape to not reach its peak."
"Just like you, you have strong strength, speed and explosive power with rich combat experiences as well as the mastery of the battle rhythm. You have many combat styles so nobody can foresee which weapons you're going to use. There seems to be no flaw. However, that's your biggest problem. You can never peak."
"Unlike the defensive ability of The Final Fortress, the attack ability of Yu Moli and the speed of Explosive Female Demon, their combat style was structured by their biggest advantage. You have no advantage in your combat style so you're easily affected by those who have superior combat strength during battles. As soon as your rhythm is affected, the only thing you can rely on is to change your weapons to adjust your rhythm. When you encounter opponents who can adapt to the battle rhythm quickly, you'd have to change weapons many times to defeat your opponent. A simple battle would then become difficult and drain all your energy…"
Lin Huang's analysis made many in the audience realize that the Ebonella would always change her weapons rapidly in battles. Although Ebonella knew Lin Huang was right, she did not want to admit it.
"Hmph, I don't accept your explanation. How dare you say I'm similar to a Gold-Armored Ape… You are the one who's like a Gold-Armored Ape. Your and your entire family are Gold-Armored Apes as well!" A white paper umbrella appeared on in Ebonella's hand. She pointed the umbrella at Lin Huang and opened fire.
Her attack speed was much weaker than Explosive Female Demon. Lin Huang did not even activate his Blood Spirit wings as he walked towards her with Cloud Steps . Seeing Lin Huang approaching her, Ebonella attempted to change the form of her weapon. The umbrella rotated and transformed into a spear. The spear was long and seemed like a dragon lunging towards Lin Huang. She attempted to get Lin Huang away from her with the length of her spear.
However, it was a naive thought. Lin Huang avoided her attack easily and walked towards her again. Ebonella was shocked, she pulled out a short sword from the middle of the umbrella and stabbed it towards Lin Huang's chest. Suddenly, a sword appeared in Lin Huang's hand and before the short sword managed to reach him, a purple glow flashed in the air. Ebonella stopped moving. As she looked at her waist, blood continuously came out of it.
"How did this happen…"
"Your sword is slower than mine." Lin Huang put his sword away and explained. Ebonella was sliced in half and disappeared from the ring.
"Congratulations. You have won the battle!"
"You managed to kill your opponent in one hit, you have obtained 2 points!"
Many of them did not expect the battle to end so fast, including Lin Huang himself. If this happened five days ago, the battle between him and the Ebonella would be dreadful. However, since Thunder Sword was upgraded to Thunder Sting , his speed was more than three times faster than before which allowed him to kill her in one hit.
"It's the 89th battle now, my next opponent should be Yu Moli!" Lin Huang was excited as Yu Moli was a powerful opponent. Moreover, as long as he managed to defeat him, the multiple of points from the 90-win streak would allow him to accomplish the mission that Mr. Fu assigned him.
Everyone in the audience was anticipating the last match. After the body of Ebonella disappeared, Lin Huang was sent back to the original point in the arena. His opponent, Yu Moli appeared as expected…

Chapter 217: Lin Huang Versus Yu Moli
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
As expected, the keeper of the 90th battle was Yu Moli who was ranked first on the sixth-floor leaderboard. The crowd became excited when Yu Moli was sent onto the arena. It was the match that everyone had been waiting for. As the glow on Yu Moli's body faded, the ladies in the audience screamed.
"Nickname: Yu Moli"
"Combat Strength: Silver-Level Rank-3"
"Battle Count: 3618"
"Accumulated Points: 153926"
"Winning Percentage: 99%"
"Honor: 60-win streak!"
After checking Yu Moli's scoreboard, Lin Huang began to check him out in person. It was the first time he encountered Yu Moli in the arena. Although he had seen many of Yu Moli's battle videos, Lin Huang was still impressed as he stood before Yu Moli who seemed like he was only 16 or 17 of age. However, he looked much more mature than people his age. He was not only almost 1.8 meters tall but his face looked like that of a grown-up as well and he gave off a royal aura.
If he was on earth, he would be labeled as the tall, rich, and handsome as he had was tall, had a rich family and had good features. No matter where he was, people would be attracted to him. He would always stand out from the crowd. Yu Moli was known as a genius by the Hunter Association and was enlisted in intensive training during the first half of the year. Within half a year, he managed to level-up from bronze-level to silver-level rank-3. He did not only have a strong family background but even managed to own a powerful monster skill, which was Violetflame .
As Lin Huang was checking him out, Yu Moli did the same to him as well.
"I've seen your battle with The Final Fortress. Since I couldn't see that last attack of yours from the official video, I've asked from The Final Fortress for the video that was taken from his point of view. That was a terrifying attack, I admit that I wouldn't be able to perform something like that." Yu Moli said calmly to Lin Huang with a voice that did not sound like that of a teenager. He sounded more like a 20-year-old, matured man.
"Although you are powerful, that does not mean that you'll be able to defeat me." Yu Moli did not sound friendly when he said that. Many of the people in the audience began to compare the both of them since Lin Huang defeated The Final Fortress during his 80th battle. Some of them said Sword Genius managed to achieve an 80-win streak but Yu Moli was not even able to achieve a 70-win streak. It was the first piece of evidence that showed how Yu Moli was weaker than Lin Huang. Some even said that Sword Genius could kill The Final Fortress but Yu Moli was not even able to break through The Final Fortress' defensive layer. That was the second piece of evidence that showed how Yu Moli was weaker than Sword Genius. Aside from that, the people even made up stories to belittle Yu Moli.
This made Yu Moli furious. Although he knew that those rumors were not spread by Sword Genius, he was a hot-blooded young man after all. It was only normal that he was angered as he was belittled and compared to another. Lin Huang did not know about this because he did not even look at the comments in the news, let alone gossip on the network. Since he logged out of the arena, he had been occupied with his training and did not have the time to read all those gossips.
However, Lin Huang could sense that Yu Moli was unhappy but he could not care less.
"I've seen most of your battles, I know you didn't give it your all when you were fighting The Final Fortress. That's why I'm eager to know what your real ability is."
What Lin Huang said was a hot topic in the arena. Most of the people from the audience had seen Yu Moli's battles but it was the first time they heard something like that. They had always thought that Yu Moli had given his all during the few battles he had with The Final Fortress.
"Don't worry, as long as you're strong enough, I will give my all." Yu Moli did not deny what Lin Huang said.
"Let's fight then!" The silver-level ring on Lin Huang's finger transformed into a battle sword. Yu Moli put on his silver-level glove as well. Soon, the countdown ended and both of them charged towards each other. To compensate for his lack of speed, Lin Huang used Thunder Sting this time around. A purple glow came out of his silver sword as he activated Thunder Sting . It looked like lightning was streaking through the air. Meanwhile, Yu Moli who was across him punched into the air and along with his silver Life Power was also a purple glow. The air was distorted from his punch, causing a strange visual effect.
"Bang!"
The sword and fist collided in the air. The glow from Lin Huang's sword did not manage to hurt the punch at all. It was a draw! Lin Huang was shocked as he watched, Yu Moli's combat skill was obviously on epic-level. A ripple was created as their attacks collided. The both of them were shaking and was forced to step back. As they stood still, they charged towards one another again and the sword collided with the punch once more, shaking the entire arena…
Every time they launched their attacks, there would be a tremendous bang in the arena. Even the wall was shaking. The audience did not dare to breathe as they watched. The both of them have not even unleashed their full power. Lin Huang did not use his Blood Spirit wings while Yu Moli did not use his Violetflame . The battle that was easy on the both of them was exciting to the crowd.
"Is Yu Moli's combat skill is so terrifying? How is it possible that it's comparable to Sword Genius?"
"I have seen many of Yu Moli's battles, he used Violetflame most of the times. It's the first time I'm seeing him fight like this!"
"I haven't seen him fight like that either. I've always thought that he's not so good at close-distance battles. It seems like the past opponents were not worth him fighting them in close-combat."
"They've yet to unleash their true power and it's already so intense, I can't even see what they're doing clearly…"
"I agree with you… This battle has exceeded the standard of a silver-level…"
Lin Huang and Yu Moli could not hear the discussions going on outside the arena. The collisions were getting more and more vigorous with the both of them continuously upgrading their attacks to test their opponents. Before they revealed their true power, they wanted to determine the limits of their opponents . After hundreds of collisions, Yu Moli stepped out of the battle circle. He shot a deadly stare at Lin Huang and said, "Let's end our warm-up now."
"Let's start then!" Lin Huang looked at the time and realized it had been two minutes since the battle started. If there was no win or lose within half an hour, the battle would be considered a draw. That was not what he wanted.
"The real fight is finally starting!" The audience held their breath while staring at the arena, they did not want to miss a thing.

Chapter 218: Destruction Pursues The Great
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
On the ring, Lin Huang and Yu Moli stood at opposite sides across each other. Lin Huang activated Blood Spirit . His eyes turned a bloody red while four Blood Spirit wings extended from his back like they were struggling out of a cage. Meanwhile, purple flames came out of Yu Moli's palms and were about one foot tall.
The crowd became excited as they finally saw them using their true power. After activating their monster skills, they glared at each other and attacked right away. Since Lin Huang activated Blood Spirit , the force within his body changed. His speed was affected by Bai as well, making him fast. Without the help of Thunder Sting , he would not be any slower than Yu Moli. As he charged towards Yu Moli, his Blood Spirit wings transferred into four ferocious blades, leaving a trail of white flame in the air. Yu Moli's flame was then transformed into two gigantic fire snakes slithering in the air, distorting the air around them.
The swords and fire snakes collided in the middle of the arena.
"Bang! Bang!"
Lin Huang reacted by thrusting two of his blades towards Yu Moli's chest. With the power of his Blood Spirit wings that could pierce through The Final Fortress' defense, it would not matter how powerful Yu Moli's defense was as it would be impossible for him to stop the power of Lin Huang's Blood Spirit blades.
The two Blood Spirit blades were like snakes approaching Yu Moli's chest at lightning speed. Suddenly, two gigantic purple arms grew out of Yu Moli's waist and collided with the blades.
"Bang! Bang!"
A shockwave was created from the collision, causing the ground and the walls to shake. The audience who were watching could feel the tremors as well.
After a couple of failed attempts, Lin Huang turned his gold-level ring into a gold-level sword. His Blood Spirit wings expanded and he charged towards Yu Moli with Thunder Sting . He aimed at Yu Moli's throat, causing his opponent to be shocked as he saw Lin Huang's sword closing in on him in an instant. He opened his mouth and retaliated with a purple flame that collided with Lin Huang's sword, foiling Lin Huang's attempt again.
After the collision, the both of them stepped back to the sides of the ring. The audience excited from watching the battle. A hit from the attacks they performed earlier could easily kill 90% of the people in the audience. As they went to their corners, two gigantic flame arms grew out of Yu Moli's waist, adding to the existing two.
Yu Moli smiled at Lin Huang, "It's four versus four now. A fair fight!"
Lin Huang shrugged his shoulders without saying anything. It was obvious that Yu Moli was imitating his combat style. Perhaps he did not have any solutions go against four of Lin Huang's Blood Spirit wings. However, Lin Huang managed to confirm that Yu Moli's monster skill came from a double mutated monster as well or else Violetflame would not be able to go against his Blood Spirit wings.
"I have a question." Lin Huang said to Yu Moli after they clashed.
"If you want to know how I obtained Violetflame , don't bother your time because I'll never tell you." Yu Moli did not want anyone else to obtain the same monster skill he possessed so he stopped Lin Huang right in his tracks.
"That's not what I want to know. Why did you lose to The Final Fortress on purpose?" The reason Lin Huang asked this was because he was almost certain that Yu Moli could definitely break through The Final Fortress' defensive layer.
"From what I can tell, it'd be easy for you to break through his defenses."
The crowd was shocked at what Lin Huang asked. However, many of them believed what he was saying. He definitely had the right to say something like that especially since he had defeated The Final Fortress himself.
"The reason was simple. I don't want a 70-win streak." Yu Moli said with his arms open.
"Why?" Lin Huang was puzzled.
"Someone told me that during ancient times, there was an idiom - Destruction pursues the great . Nothing good will come to the person who went after fame without first obtaining true power." Yu Moli explained.
"I'd advise you not to continue with your battles after you defeat me. If you manage to achieve a 100-win streak, there'll be more people watching you and they won't only be from Division7…"
"Thanks for the reminder." Lin Huang heard about something similar in the past.
As long as someone in the arena achieved a 100-win streak, the Hunter Association division would report to the headquarters and in turn, the headquarter would notify other divisions. By then, everyone would know that such genius existed and he'd be targeted by all the underworld organizations…
Although the Hunter Association would keep his identity a secret, it was still possible that there would be an identity leak. Moreover, there were many brainwashing techniques in the underworld organizations. If he was captured, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Since Yu Moli reminded him, Lin Huang gave up his intentions of continuing further. He was curious about the kind of opponents the system would assign to him if he defeated Yu Moli. However, it seemed like he had to give up on that thought and keep his life in one piece.
"However, I think it's a little too late now. I think you've already been targeted by the underworld organizations. Although your identity is sealed, some of them will always be able to find ways to get to you. It's just a matter of time." Yu Moli looked at him with pity.
"The methods that the underworld organization uses are unimaginable…"
"I'll worry about that later. The battle between us hasn't ended yet." Lin Huang did not want to talk further.
"Let's fight!" Lin Huang charged towards Yu Moli and Yu Moli did the same. Soon, the Blood Spirit blades and fire snakes collided in the middle of the arena…

Chapter 219: Flame King
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In the arena, Lin Huang and Yu Moli clashed again and again. Each time they clashed, an immense tremor would be spread through the arena and the walls. The tremors began to spread to the seats as their battle grew more intense. Both their shadows flashed through the arena and most people in the audience could not even see their movements clearly. Only several gold-level rank-3 hunters managed to keep track of their attacks. The hunters were shocked as their abilities were comparable with the standard of gold-level rank-3. No matter their speed or strength, combat experiences or techniques, they were no less powerful than an actual gold-level rank-3 hunter.
"Those are real geniuses…" Some of the gold-level rank-3 hunters exclaimed. Yu Moli was not familiar with Lin Huang's combat style in the beginning and Lin Huang managed to suppress him most of the time because his defense was quite clumsy. However, he adapted over time and before long, he grew less passive as he adapted to Lin Huang's combat style and began to attack before Lin Huang did.
Lin Huang's Blood Spirit wings were flexible but compared to Yu Moli, the latter had more powerful attacks. However, Yu Moli was not as agile as Lin Huang but he could always turn it around with his battle experience. After they have been fighting for almost 20 minutes, Lin Huang's attacks were getting more intense because he had to defeat Yu Moli within 30 minutes or the battle would be considered a draw, an end to his 90-win streak. He was now ranked No.13 and in order to be in the top 10, he would have to go through another 60-win streak just to achieve that if this battle ended up in a tie.
As the blades that transformed from the Blood Spirit wings collided with the fire snakes, an intense spark was created. Seeing that Yu Moli had slowed down, Lin Huang transformed one of his wings into a whip and slithered it up the fire snake to Yu Moli's chest. Yu Moli shouted and spat purple flames from his mouth in order to stop Lin Huang and backed off immediately.
Seeing Yu Moli panting from his Life Power that was seemingly growing more unstable, Lin Huang could tell that he had the advantage in terms of physique. With the help of his immense strength, Lin Huang physique was comparable to a gold-level rank-3 person. His tolerance and physique was much stronger than Yu Moli's. Although he had almost exhausted the first of his five Life Wheels in his body, he still had four Life Wheels to back him up. The monster skills did not drain much Life Power but under such intense conditions, the exhaustion of Life Power was multipled several times compared to when they used their monster skills under regular circumstances.
Lin Huang was left with less than one-tenth of his first Life Wheel. He could tell that Yu Moli did not have much Life Power left. Noticing that Lin Huang was checking him out, he said, "You've such a monstrous body… If I'm not mistaken, you do not only have superior physique and tolerance but you also must have at least two Life Wheels in your body, right?"
Many of the audience were puzzled at Lin Huang when they heard what Yu Moli had said. They realized that Sword Genius was still exuberant, seemingly unfazed by the battle while Yu Moli was panting hard.
The audience could not see the amount of Life Wheels they possessed as they moved too fast in the arena, making it impossible for them to observe them in detail. Only a couple of people in the audience who were on gold-level rank-3 realized that the Sword Genius' Blood Spirit blades were stable from the start of the battle till the current stage. Meanwhile, Yu Moli's Violetflame was not as strong as it started.
Lin Huang smiled without saying anything and did not answer Yu Moli's question. However, nobody could see him smiling as he was wearing a mask. They could only see him holding his tongue. Lin Huang then looked at the time and noticed that they were only left with 10 minutes. Lin Huang knew he should not delay this any further. Without waiting for Yu Moli to attack, Lin Huang charged towards him.
Yu Moli frowned and extended his four gigantic Violetflame arms towards him. They clashed again and Lin Huang pulled out his sword to charge towards Yu Moli using Great Sword Scripture . Within seconds, Yu Moli felt like he was drowning in the sword that was coming in his direction like waves in an ocean. Soon, a bang was heard as Yu Moli took countless punches with his Violetflame arms and managed to make Lin Huang take a step back. Lin Huang stepped back until he reached the edge of the arena. This time, he did not take the initiative to attack but watched Yu Moli instead.
The four Violetflame arms went back into his body and even the flame on his palms disappeared. He performed a complex hand seal immediately and his body burned in purple flames. The flames was so high that it was more than 10 meters tall. As he changed his hand seals, the flame formed itself into a giant torso that covered Yu Moli's entire body.
Everyone was shocked at what they were seeing.
"A Life Power construct? Am I seeing this right?" Someone in the crowd said.
Under normal circumstance, such a complicated construct would only be possible for transcendents. Although Yu Moli was only mastering a monster skill; it was much simpler for him than controlling Life Power as such a complicated objectification would be difficult. Even Lin Huang could not control his Blood Power to unleash something like that.
A giant torso made of purple flames appeared before Lin Huang. It looked like a hunk with hard muscles and it had realistic features which included its eyes, beard, eyebrows as well as other details. It looked like a sculpture that was sculpted by a master. However, it only took two to three seconds for Yu Moli to come up with this.
As the giant torso formed, Yu Moli stopped his hand seals and looked at Lin Huang.
"I don't have much Life Power left, I believe you can see that. This will be the last card I have up my sleeve, it's called... Flame King . It's my ultimate shield and is almost my ultimate skill. If you can defeat this giant, you will be able to defeat me in this battle. I'm exhausting my Life Power, I don't have the strength to fight anymore." Yu Moli admitted.
Just as he was done talking, the Flame King seemed activate. Its eyes opened and without missing a beat, it shot a deadly stare at Lin Huang…

Chapter 220: 90-Win Streak!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang was stunned with Yu Moli's ability to summon a giant torso with his Life Power. This level of Life Power mastery was not the most impressive. What surprised Lin Huang the most was the giant torso that was looking at him like an actual human. Theoretically, the giant torso was an undead creature that was constructed using Violetflame and should not have been able to exhibit humanlike qualities. However, Lin Huang could feel that the giant was staring at him with anger but soon, the feeling faded away.
"Perhaps it's just an illusion…" Lin Huang did not dwell on it. As the giant torso shot a deadly stare at Lin Huang, it punched him all of a sudden. The air surrounding the punch was pressurized under the high temperature and formed a vacuum. In the absence of air pressure, it resulted in a silent punch that was headed towards Lin Huang's direction. Lin Huang then transformed one of his Blood Spirit wings into a giant hand, and it collided with the punch from the giant.
After the collision, the giant torso remained motionless while Lin Huang stepped further away, only stopping once he reached the edge of the arena. Fortunately, his Blood Spirit had isolated the high temperature of Yu Moli's punch; if it was not for that, Lin Huang would have turned into a pile of ashes.
"The force in that punch has surpassed gold-level rank-3. Even though isn't on the level of a transcendent, it's not too far away. I'll be in trouble if the flames touch my body…" Lin Huang frowned as he looked at the giant torso. It was a tough fight.
Without giving Lin Huang a chance to catch his breath, the giant punched him again. Lin Huang did not avoid the punch. Instead, he extended the arm that was transformed using Blood Spirit . The giant's punch sent Lin Huang smashing into the wall and breaking the wall in the process. However, the giant's punch that collided with the Blood Spirit wing shot into the air, forming a giant web that covered the entire giant arm that was made from Violetflame .
Since one of its arms was locked, the giant waved its other arm at Lin Huang. Lin Huang used his second Blood Spirit wing to tackle the punch. Similarly, the punch got caught in the giant web above. Both of its gigantic arms were struggling in the web like fishes trapped in a net. Lin Huang was pulled right up into the air as the intense shaking made it difficult for him to stand still.
However, Lin Huang did not panic as he transformed his last two Blood Spirit wings into two blades and aimed it at the giant's head with the help of Thunder Sting . Since the giant's arms were trapped, it prevented it from retaliating. Frustrated, it opened its mouth and spat out purple flames at Lin Huang that did not only block off his blade but also headed in his direction like waves in an ocean.
Helpless, Lin Huang recalled his two blades and transformed them into half-spheres as a defensive layer to block the Violetflam e that was headed his way. Under the spitting flame, the entire arena looked like a purple sea of fire. Many of them had their vision blocked by the Violetflame , they were concerned that the Sword Genius would be defeated facing such a wide area of attack. However, after the flames died down, Lin Huang remained standing in the arena.
"Let's try attacking it from behind then!" With the help of the pull, Lin Huang leaped into the air and landed behind the giant. He transformed his two wings into blades and aimed them at the back of the giant's head. Suddenly, the giant's turned its head 180 degrees and spat Violetflame at Lin Huang. Everyone was speechless with what they saw. Only undead monsters and spiritual monsters could make a 180-degree head turn. However, it made sense as the giant was not alive but a structure that was formed by force.
Lin Huang frowned, "Since the usual attack could not break it, it seems like I must use this then…"
As Lin Huang was coming up with a plan, the giant roared as the flames on its body burned more intensely. Yu Moli who was in the giant felt odd; his Life Power was leaving his body and moving into the giant's body. Suddenly, he fell to the ground and looked like he had completely lost his strength. Then giant grew a couple of meters taller and its hands broke free from the Blood Spirit web.
"Life Seed Engulf…" Lin Huang frowned. Many of them in the audience could tell what was happening as well.
Life Seed Engulf was a situation whereby the monster's consciousness takes over the human body before it's able to completely purge. Under normal circumstances, the Life Seed would be absorbed into the human body as the human leveled up while the monster's consciousness would clear up without any side effects. However, when a player does not level up the Life Seed in their bodies, it will result in a Life Seed Engulf.
The host would not notice what had happened because once the monster's consciousness enters the human body; it will hide from its host. The monster's consciousness would grow as time passed and eventually, it would wipe out the host's consciousness before taking over the body once the host became weak. It was the Life Seed Take Over. It was a soul parasite, but it would be harder to track as the parasite does not exist physically.
"It must've taken advantage of Yu Moli's weak body…" Lin Huang spent days studying the scenarios when a human obtains a Life Seed under normal circumstances so he was familiar with what Yu Moli was experiencing at that moment.
"I must get rid of the monster right now before it takes over his body…"
Although Lin Huang did not know Yu Moli very well, he was a good opponent after all. Lin Huang did not want to see such a genius taken over by a monster.
A golden glow sparked on the Blood Spirit sword. Everyone was excited again, and they knew Lin Huang was going to unleash something powerful. As the giant torso grew bigger, it released a purple flame from its mouth once again. The flames covered the entire arena and Lin Huang. Lin Huang immediately transformed three of his wings into a sphere and covered himself with it. Meanwhile, Lin Huang transferred all his Life Power from the four Life Wheels into his Blood Spirit Sword. He would lose if the attack failed!
The giant continued attacking even after the flames fade. Its two gigantic fists were heading towards Lin Huang. Lin Huang recalled three of his wings and dodged the giant's punch. He landed in front of the giant and leaped high up with his golden glowing Blood Spirit sword. After it saw what just happened, the giant spat Violetflame again in an attempt to push Lin Huang back.
This time, Lin Huang's blade was like a meteorite hitting the ground. The force was invincible; it broke the flames that were coming out of the giant's mouth. Things that came into contact with the blade flew away. A bright golden glow shot everywhere and many in the audience had to close their eyes from the bright glow.
"Bang!" It made a loud thud. The entire arena collapsed along with its walls. Many of them who were in the front row were affected but Lin Huang ignored what was happening around the arena. He looked up and saw the blade had pierced through the giant's open mouth and went through the back of its head. Its head began cracking with a spiderweb pattern and eventually the crack spread through its entire body. Before long, the Violetflame body broke into atoms.
As the giant disappeared, Yu Moli who was in the giant was faded away as well.
"Thank you…" Yu Moli managed to thank Lin Huang before completely disappearing from the arena.
"Congratulations. You've won the battle!"
As Yu Moli's body disappeared, Lin Huang saw the battle notification. In just a second, a notification came through the sound system and echoed in the arena.
"Congratulations! Sword Genius has defeated keeper Yu Moli on the sixth floor of the arena and has won 90 consecutive battles!"
The notification could be heard in every corner of the arena before the golden glow in the arena even managed to fade away, and the audience had yet to see what had happened.
"Would you like to continue to battle?"
Lin Huang hesitated when he saw the notification, he was thinking about Yu Moli's advice. He looked at the leaderboard; he was now ranked No.3 with 20,308 points.
After confirming that he had accomplished the mission, he pressed 'No' on the notification. His body faded from the ring. As the golden glow faded, the audience only managed to see Lin Huang disappearing from the ring...

Chapter 221: A Man's Secret
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Congratulations! Sword Genius has defeated keeper Yu Moli on the sixth floor of the arena and won 90 battles consecutively!"
The announcement of the results turned the arena chaotic, especially on the sixth floor. Many of them checked Sword Genius' scoreboard and found it unbelievable that he currently ranks No.3 on the leaderboard with 20308 points; they found it unbelievable.
"He is the uncrowned king even though he's only at No.3!"
"Sword Genius is too powerful! He even defeated Yu Moli!"
"I've told you that Yu Moli hasn't got a chance in defeating the Sword Genius, it came true!"
"Sigh, I thought Yu Moli would win this time, I didn't know that Sword Genius is that powerful…"
It was not only the sixth floor, but everybody else on the other floors were also discussing about Sword Genius. He was now a legend as he managed to go from a 60 to an 80-win streak within a day. Now that he had achieved a 90-win streak, he was the third person who had managed to come this far since the establishment of Division7. The last time a player got a 90-win streak in Division7 was 186 years ago. Many of the transcendents who were playing from the ninth floor and above started to talk about Sword Genius as well. The 12 senior executive officers were silent when they read the news.
After leaving the arena, Lin Huang was sent back to the main hall. He was not wearing a mask so nobody could tell who he was. He looked at his scoreboard before signing out.
"Nickname: Sword Genius"
"Combat Strength: Silver-Level Rank-3"
"Battle Count: 90"
"Accumulated Points: 20308"
"Winning Percentage: 100%"
"Honor: 90-win streak!"
Lin Huang then signed out from the game. Upon regaining his consciousness, he saw that the top news on the main page of the Hunter Arena had changed but most of the news was still about him.
"The Uncrowned King, Sword Genius Has Completed A 90-Win Streak!"
"I wonder how Yu Moli's doing now… I've only wiped away a portion of the monster's consciousness; will he able to clear the remaining monster consciousness that was left in his body? Hopefully, his body won't be taken over by the monster…" Yu Moli was a genius, Lin Huang did not want him to become the puppet of a monster.
In the arena, the system would usually be able to detect the difference in consciousness but what happened to Yu Moli was rare. As part of his consciousness was absorbed into the game, the system must have mistaken the monster's consciousness for his, which caused the monster to take over his body during the battle. If Lin Huang did not kill the monster, Yu Moli's consciousness would not be able to return to his body as he had lost control of it during battle. Instead, the remaining monster's consciousness would have taken over his body. That was the reason why Yu Moli thanked Lin Huang before he left the game.
After getting rid of Yu Moli from his mind, Lin Huang checked the time. From the 81st to 90th battle, it took him less than half an hour. It was not even 9:30 in the morning, Lin Huang watched all the videos that were recorded during the battles. He watched the one of him and Yu Moli fighting repeatedly while he took notes. After that, he sent all the videos to Mr. Fu with a short message 'Master, I've completed the mission!'.
Soon, Mr. Fu replied his message, "I've received your message, I'll get back to you after I've watched the videos."
It was past 11 in the morning when he was done. Lin Huang then made grilled meat for Lin Xuan before heading out to buy some ingredients for lunch. He cooked in the kitchen while Lin Xin and Lin Xuan enjoyed the meal. Later on, Lin Huang started a conversation with the both of them while he did the dishes.
"How's your gun training?"
"I hardly lose in the regular arena anymore. I've been watching the videos that were recorded by Xiao Xuan and have learned a lot from there. Xiao Xuan is even more powerful now, he's fighting with some Gold Hunters in the Hunter's Exclusive zone. Initially, he would've been defeated but not anymore. He was given a nickname by some of the other players, The Game Terminator…" Lin Xin complimented Lin Xuan's skill.
"Really?" Lin Huang raised his eyebrow. He knew Lin Xuan was a fast learner but he did not expect him to be able to fight with gold-level gunmasters when he was only at silver-level. Those gunmasters had powerful gunfighting techniques.
"Xiao Xuan has knowledge of gunfighting techniques as well?" Lin Huang asked.
Lin Xuan nodded.
"How many of them do you know?"
"126 types." Lin Xuan's answer left Lin Huang speechless. His learning speed was simply terrifying.
"Brother, I know some too. Xiao Xuan taught me three types and I've mastered two of them. Too bad I don't have any Life Seed to unleash its power…" Lin Xin said.
"You know some too?!" Lin Huang did not expect Lin Xin to have surpassed him in terms of gun skill by now. After hesitating for a while, Lin Huang said to Lin Xuan, "Xiao Xuan, could you teach me some gunfighting techniques in the coming days?"
Lin Xuan stared at him with a puzzled expression. He seemed to be wondering if Lin Huang really did not know of any gunfighting techniques.
Lin Xin's eyes were wide opened, "Brother, aren't you skilled with guns?"
"I haven't got the time to learn gunfighting techniques…" Lin Huang blushed as he spoke the truth.
"I'll teach you then!" Lin Xin was excited. She treated Lin Huang as her lab rat to experiment with her teaching methods.
"I'll get Xiao Xuan to teach me instead since you've only mastered two techniques." Lin Huang smiled and shook his head. He did not think that Lin Xin could teach him anything when it came to gunfighting techniques.
Lin Xin went to the living room to watch the news. She then asked, "Brother, since you've playing in the arena these couple of days, have you heard of this person called Sword Genius?"
"Yes, I have. What's the matter?" Lin Huang smiled and asked. He did not have the time to watch the news but news of him achieving a 90-win streak must have spread like wildfire.
"This person is so powerful. He had a 90-win streak…" Lin Xin said as she watched the battle video between Lin Huang and Yu Moli.
Lin Xuan recognized that this person who was called Sword Genius in the mask was Lin Huang.
He said, "Brother…"
Lin Xin was surprised, "Do you mean Sword Genius is our brother?"
Lin Xuan nodded.
Lin Xin looked at Lin Huang in disbelief and asked, "Brother, are you really Sword Genius?"
"What do you think?" Lin Huang did not want to give an answer straight away; he did not want to lie but at the same time, he could not admit the truth.
"I don't think so… Although you're powerful, this bloke is crazy…" Lin Xin shook her head.
Lin Xuan tried to speak but he was stopped by Lin Huang, "Xiao Xuan, come here. I need to talk to you."
Lin Xuan walked to Lin Huang immediately. Lin Huang whispered into his ear, "Don't tell anyone that I'm Sword Genius. You can't even tell your sister. This is a secret between us, okay!"
Lin Xuan nodded immediately, "A man's secret!"
"Come, give me a brofist!" Lin Huang pointed his fist at Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan made a fist in confusion, Lin Huang then bumped his fist with his and smiled, "Since we've bumped our fists, this means you must keep the secret."
"Okay!" Lin Xuan nodded hard. Lin Huang then rubbed Lin Xuan's head, "Let's play Gun Master together and you can teach me some gunfighting techniques…"
"Me too!" Lin Xin heard and joined in the conversation, "I want to see how you learn gunfighting techniques from him!"
"Sure, come with us." Lin Huang did not mind Lin Xin being there.

Chapter 222: Gun Fighting Technique
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In training ground No.02879 of Gun Master, Lin Huang prepared himself with a SilverPhoenix16. In the game, most of the guns were complimentary; only rare and modified guns required credit points to purchase. Lin Huang was only there for training so purchasing a gun would be unnecessary. A modified SilverPhoenix16 and an ordinary SilverPhoenix16 had an insignificant difference. Lin Xuan was using a SilverPhoenix16 too; since he was silver-level rank-3 like Lin Huang, using a SilverPhoenix16 would be appropriate.
Lin Xin who was watching from the side was envious of the both of them. Since she was not even at iron-level so she could not even use an iron-level gun, let alone the silver-level SilverPhoenix16. She could only watch.
"Which ones do you want to learn first?" Lin Xuan asked Lin Huang when he saw that he was ready.
"Let's start with the easiest one since I don't have the basics down yet." Lin Huang was not ambitious. Since he does not have the basics, he wanted to learn from the bottom up so that he would not be discouraged.
"I can teach you!" Lin Xin raised her hand. Lin Huang did not want to reject her after seeing her enthusiasm. He waved at her, "Alright then, come here and show me."
Lin Xin ran towards Lin Huang and smirked. She took out both of her GrayEagle17's, turned them around and held them in the right position. Facing the 36 moving targets, Lin Xin opened fire without looking at them. Her hands would move a little from the recoil after every shot. Although she seemed clumsy, she managed to shoot the moving targets. Within seconds, she shot all the 36 targets on the floor. Lin Huang was shocked with her skill as he thought Lin Xin only knew the basics but it seemed like she had mastered the first basic gun technique. It was amazing that she managed to do that considering that she was not even at iron-level.
Lin Huang kept silent and gave her a thumbs up and Lin Xin blushed.
"I've checked on the network, the easiest gunfighting technique is called Potshot. The thing about Potshot is to not to try and overpower the recoil but using it to our advantage to save our strength as well as time to adjust our aim. Although it might look clumsy in reality, the aim of the muzzle will always be within our control…"
Lin Xin explained to Lin Huang confidently. Lin Xuan did not say a word. Lin Huang patted him on his shoulder, "Xiao Xuan, why don't you show me."
Lin Xuan nodded and stood before the red line with one of his SilverPhoenix16's. He pulled the trigger, sending bullets filled with Life Power speeding towards the targets at a terrifyingly rapid speed. Within a second, all 36 moving targets fell onto the ground.
Lin Huang's jaws almost dropped as he watched Lin Xuan's speed; it was even faster than Explosive Female Demon. It was a terrifying mastery of the gun. Meanwhile, Lin Xin watched unhappily as she had finally had the chance to perform in front of her brother and was complimented but the limelight was stolen by Lin Xuan once again.
"Xiao Xuan, do it again." Lin Huang was unable to capture the full image earlier as Boundless Vision was deactivated.
Lin Xuan nodded and opened fire with his SilverPhoenix16 again and before long, all 36 targets were shot down within a second. With Boundless Vision and Third Eye, Lin Huang managed to capture the entire thing.
"Brother, you can get Xiao Xuan to slow down so that you can see all the details." Lin Xin reminded.
It's alright, I can see it crystal clear now." Lin Huang shook his head and walked to the red line.
"Let me try."
Facing the 36 moving targets, Lin Huang opened fire continuously and shot all of them down within three seconds. He frowned as he was not satisfied with the result. Lin Xuan and Lin Xin did not say a word as they watched. Lin Xin could see that Lin Huang did not take advantage of the recoil. Instead, he was affected by the recoil. To be able to control his shots, he habitually tried to control the recoil. Although he managed to shoot down all the targets, it was not the true essence of the gunfighting technique, Potshot .
"I'm not used to such a shooting technique, I shall practice more then…" Lin Huang shook his head as he proceeded to practice. After three to four attempts, Lin Xin was concerned and Lin Xuan finally spoke.
"Brother… You have to forget about the target…"
Upon hearing that, Lin Huang finally realized his problem. He was worried about missing the targets so much that he focused on them and controlled the recoil to try and hit them accurately.
"That's right, I focused too much on hitting the targets. It's okay not to hit the targets in a practice, I shouldn't use the shooting style that I'm used to as well. I should consider myself as a beginner and start from square one!"
After realizing his mistake, Lin Huang lets go of his concerns and shot randomly. This time, he only managed to shoot two targets, however, he received a notification.
"Congratulations, you have received a gunfighting technique skill card piece x1 - Potshot "
The notification assured him that he was in the right direction. However, he did not expect to receive skill card pieces during practices in the game.
He was improving fast, his accuracy increased with every shot. After 30 practices, he finally shot down all 36 targets. A notification came from Xiao Hei.
" Potshot skill card pieces x30 has been detected. Combine the cards to receive a gunfighting technique - Potshot . Would you like to combine them?"
"Yes!" Lin Huang decided to combine the skill card pieces without hesitation.
Soon, a skill card appeared in his hand.
"Skill Card"
"Skill Card Name: Potshot"
"Rarity: Normal"
"Type of Skill: Gunfighting Technique"
"Skill Level: Iron-level Gun Technique"
"Status: Available"
"Remarks: No level limit"
"Card Remarks: Useless"
After taking the skill into his body, Lin Huang held up the gun and shot randomly. All the 36 targets fell to the ground, it took him less than two seconds. Lin Xin was clapping her hands while Lin Xuan was indifferent as he thought it was normal for Lin Huang to manage that.
"Now that I have mastered the first technique, you can teach me the second one now. Teach me from the basics, I'm planning to put the fun, and my combat habits aside so that I could start from zero." Lin Huang said to Lin Xuan.
"Okay!" Lin Xuan nodded and started using the second gunfighting technique…

Chapter 223: Gold-Level Life Seed Monster
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Lin Huang had learned 28 introductory-level gunfighting techniques from Lin Xuan after spending more than 10 hours in the afternoon. The introduction to gunfighting was also called iron-level gunfighting technique. This technique did not require Life Power so that iron-level hunters and above would be able to use it. However, it was rather difficult to learn.
At Lin Xin's level, she would need two to three days to master one technique and the reason Lin Huang managed to learn them so fast was because he only needed 30 skill card pieces to obtain one skill card. If he learned at the speed of regular people, he would not learn the skills any faster than Lin Xin. However, Lin Xin had always thought that her brother was talented so it was normal for him to learn much faster. On the other hand, Lin Xuan was not surprised as he learned all the techniques by looking at them once. He did not think that Lin Huang was talented. If outsiders knew that Lin Huang managed to learn 28 techniques in 10 hours, they would find it impressive even though it was an introductory-level skill.
It was 10:30 p.m. when they logged out of the game. To reward the both of them, Lin Huang made supper. The three of them then went to bed after taking a shower and Lin Huang received a video call from Mr. Fu when he was having his breakfast the next morning.
"Boy, are you having breakfast right now?" Mr. Fu saw something that looked like oats in the bowl in front of Lin Huang.
"Yes. Have you had your breakfast, master?" Lin Huang smiled as he asked politely.
"It has been years since I last had breakfast…" Mr. Fu shook his head. He seemed distracted as he thought of his past.
"Have you finished watching the videos that I sent you?" Lin Huang put down his spoon.
"Yes, I have. Don't worry, please carry on with your breakfast." Mr. Fu waved his hand.
Lin Huang did not pick up his spoon, "Please, master."
"Alright then…" Mr. Fu saw that Lin Huang did not plan to continue eating and he continued to speak.
"I've watched all the videos from the beginning until the end. You've surprised me!"
"I have always thought that you're a powerful Imperial Censor. You may have a great potential but your combat strength isn't strong enough. I've assigned you a mission that required you to get into the top 10 without using any summoning monsters; simply as a target but I didn't expect you to achieve it. I wanted to see how you'd perform in the arena and observe your true ability as well as how you'd fare during practice battles."
"The only way to complete the mission within two months was through winning. I estimated that you could achieve a 50-win streak at most and you would lose to the keeper of the 60th battle and that you'd achieve 50-win streaks repeatedly until you manage to collect the targeted points. As the battle continues; you'd be paired with stronger opponents and I didn't think you were capable of winning."
"However, you managed to defeat all the keepers and achieved a 90-win streak. That was totally out of my expectation…"
Lin Huang felt embarrassed as Mr. Fu complimented him. He had never thought that failing the mission was an option. He wanted to give his best to the mission that was assigned by Mr. Fu.
"I'm curious. Your performance was not that outstanding from the 1st to 50th battles. There were many flaws but within a month's time, you looked like a totally changed man from the 51st battle. You've never failed to surprise me since then. What did you do in that one month ?" Mr. Fu asked.
"I downloaded all the videos of the top 10 players and studied them one by one. I even made notes and practiced them in my room… Anyways, I just studied each and every one of the combat styles to see if there was anything that I could learn and adapt into a style of my own so that I can use them in the battles." Lin Huang explained.
"You sure are outstanding." Mr. Fu smiled and nodded.
"I've watched all of the videos. Although I can find some flaws, I don't see the need to for you to change. I'll only advice you."
"Yes please, master" Lin Huang sat right up and listened carefully.
"As a whole, the most outstanding part about you would be your sword skill. You have mastered a great sword skill so I won't be teaching you other sword skills at the moment. You have a great physique as well, the only flaw that you have would be your speed. Although your speed is slightly faster than a normal silver-level rank-3, you were much weaker when you encountered those who had the advantage in speed. You can overcome that with your movement skills but the two movement skills that you possess are not that special. I'll make a video of a movement skill for you to train on later."
"Sure!" Lin Huang was over the moon; since Mr. Fu was going to teach him a movement skill, it had to be at least epic-level.
"However, to be able to strengthen yourself to gold-level and fight a holy fire transcendent, relying solely on movement skills aren't enough. You'd have to improve on your speed as well. Therefore, I'll suggest you choose a speed type Life Seed when you level-up to gold-level…"
"Master, it doesn't make sense to improve my speed and physique before I become transcendent, does it?" Lin Huang voiced his doubts; he was taking his the condition he would be in when he leveled-up to holy fire-level into consideration.
"That's true. You'll experience a flesh transformation when you reach the holy fire-level. This is why people are called transcendents when they achieve the holy fire-level. The body of a transcendent is much stronger than those below that stage." Mr. Fu nodded.
"However, the speed type Life Seed that I suggested isn't an ordinary speed type Life Seed, but one that would be able to transform into a secret skill that'll enable you to move in a flash."
Lin Huang was excited upon hearing this.
"This Life Seed monster is called a Starlight Beast. It's very rare and hard to catch. I'll send you more details and videos about this monster, take your time to learn about it and see if it suits you." Mr. Fu said.
"If you've chosen your gold-level Life Seed, please share it with me."
"I've been busy for the past few days so I didn't have the time to look at it yet. However, the Starlight Beast that you mentioned sounds interesting." Although Lin Huang had read the Monster Encyclopedia, it was the first time he heard about the Starlight Beast. He planned to decide only after he finds out what it was exactly.
"I'll send you the details later so you can decide for yourself." Mr. Fu added, "Is there anything else that you'd like to ask pertaining to your training?"
"Not at the moment. I'm focusing on stabilizing my Life Power before upgrading to gold-level." Lin Huang shook his head.
"However, since you know that I'm an Imperial Censor, I have a question regarding summoning the monster." Lin Huang added.
"Please do ask. Although I'm not an Imperial Censor, I have many Imperial Censor friends. If I can't answer your question, I could always ask my friends." Mr. Fu nodded.
"I have obtained a parasitic summoning monster earlier but it comes with several parasitic skills. I'm not sure how I'm going to train this summoning monster and what kind of skills it would get." Lin Huang had been wanting to ask someone who was expert in monster training regarding his Demonic Dandelion Vine.
"I have killed many parasites before and aside from some other parasitic skills, there aren't many other attack skills it can obtain. They basically rely on defensive skills, regeneration skills and camouflaging skills to increase their chance of survival. Some can even master learning type of skill."
"The best way to train monsters would be by looking at their nature. Since you're an Imperial Censor who can control more than one summoning monster, there's no need for you to train all of your summoning monsters to their peak. I suggest you follow its nature and look for skills that of a defensive, regenerative or camouflage nature. If it is a double mutated monster with a higher intelligence, you can look for learning-type skills."
"I understand now," Lin Huang replied after Mr. Fu gave Lin Huang a clear direction.
"Do you have any other questions?" Mr. Fu raised an eyebrow.
"Not at the moment. Thank you, master!" Lin Huang said.
"I shall not interrupt your breakfast then." Mr. Fu ended the call.
Lin Huang hung up the phone and continued with breakfast.
"Who were you talking to?" Lin Xin and Lin Xuan just got downstairs after a shower.
"My teacher." Lin Huang smiled.
"Your teacher… He must be powerful?" Lin Xin found it odd.
"I think so, I'll introduce you to him in the future." Lin Huang waved at the both of them.
"Come here and eat your breakfast!"
The two of them went to the dining table. Soon, he received a couple of messages from Mr. Fu. He browsed through them, one of them was about a movement skill called Thunder Steps, the other was a complete set of details on the Starlight Beast while the final message was some information regarding parasites. He did not read them but sent Mr. Fu a thank you message. He switched off his phone and carried on with breakfast. Later on, he checked the messages again.

Chapter 224: Starlight Beast
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Starlight Beast was an extremely rare monster that could only be found in the Meteorite Desert. It looked like a robot, walked on two legs, and most of its body parts were orange in color which produced unique metal-like reflection when it came in contact with light. It has a turquoise face that looked like it was wearing a mask. Besides that, there was nothing else on its face. It had four antenna-like hands that were in blue and green colors and beneath its neck was a purple crystal that was the size of a fist.
The purple crystal was a meteor piece that could absorb energy at night. It was the only energy source of the Starlight Beast. Due to their characteristic, this monster was a star spirit type. The Starlight Beast had three major skills. The first one would enable it to transform its antennas into weapons which were similar to a vampire's Blood Power. Second, would be its explosive movement and attack speed while the last one would be flicker which allowed it to teleport within a small area.
Its last two skills made it hard to kill the monster. Besides, it had a high intelligence which made it easy for it to avoid humans. Unlike many other monsters, they would not wander out of their territory as they waited to be killed by a human. The Starlight Beast would usually avoid conflicts with humans by hiding. The hunter who kills a Starlight Beast would obtain a speed type Life Seed which will give the user a powerful movement and attack speed skill. As one leveled up to transcendent, the gift would be upgraded to a secret skill called Flash which would allow the user to use the short-distance teleportation.
"This Life Seed monster seems great. Its talent would cancel out my only flaw, giving me speed that's quite frankly, over the top. After I hit transcendent, this speed type secret skill seems powerful too. Since master recommended this to me, he must've considered the effects of the secret skill after I become a transcendent. It seems like this is the best Life Seed that I can get for a gold-level." After reading the documents on the Starlight Beast, Lin Huang decided on the Life Seed monster that he wanted. He logged onto the network immediately and searched for the monster's whereabouts.
"Meteorite Desert…"
A map was projected before him, Lin Huang frowned as he looked at the location of Meteorite Desert that was marked in yellow. It was located in the far to the northwest of Division7 from Winter City where Lin Huang was located. He would have to cross half of Division7 to reach the desert. It was more than 50% further than his trip from the Purple Crow training camp to Wulin Town.
"That's extremely far!" The distance was out of his expectations.
He would need to book the ticket to the long-distance dimensional portal at least a month in advance. With the transfers in between, it would take up at least three months for the return trip. Lin Huang was upset as he thought about the travels. This world was too big, without a dimensional vehicle, traveling was inconvenient.
"It would be great if master could send me there on some dimensional transfer equipment. Although I might have to think about I'd make it back, at least I'll be able to save more than a month of time." Lin Huang planned to ask Mr. Fu if he had some relic like the Dimensional Portal before he headed out.
After deciding on the Life Seed monster than he wanted, Lin Huang started reading the other two messages. The documents on parasites that Mr. Fu sent was much more complete than the Monster Encyclopedia that Lin Huang read in the past. It did not only have a wider the variety of monsters but the descriptions that came with it were also more detailed. It was obvious that the documents were higher ranked than the ones that he got from Yi Zheng.
He spent his entire morning reading it and he even picked some parasites that possessed survival skills and other unique skills but he was only halfway through. He ordered takeaway for lunch before making grilled meat for Lin Xuan. Later on, he returned to the living room to look through the documents again. When the takeaway arrived, Lin Xin and Lin Xuan had just logged out of the Gun Master game. Lin Huang's performance in the Gun Master the day before had triggered Lin Xin to improve her skills. After breakfast, she asked Lin Xuan to join her in the game to train her in gunfighting techniques until noon.
"Brother, are you practicing your gun skills this afternoon?" Lin Xin asked after putting a spoonful of rice into her mouth.
"Not today, I have something else that I need to do." Lin Huang shook his head. He planned to read all the documents by today to find three suitable skills for his Demonic Dandelion Vine.
"You guys go ahead and do your own stuff, don't worry about me."
"Oh." Lin Xin was secretly happy that Lin Huang stopped practicing his gun skills. It meant that she might just be able to catch up with him.
After lunch, Lin Xin urged Lin Xuan to return to the game as she did not want to waste a single minute. Lin Huang knew what she was up to when he saw her rushing upstairs. He smiled and shook his head. After cleaning the dining table, he returned to the living room and continued reading the documents on the couch.
Under normal circumstances, a monster would need to kill another monster of the same type to inherit its monster skill. Therefore, a parasite could only kill a parasite, it was impossible for a parasite to kill other types of monsters for their skills. It would be decided by the Life Seed in the monster's body; there were rare exceptions of course. For instance, a monster called the Takeru Hunter could obtain most monster's skills and even kill humans to obtain their skills… However, it was rare.
Lin Huang considered the Demonic Dandelion Vine as a common monster, he would need to find another parasite monster.
" Skin Hardening could strengthen its defense, but it's too common…"
" Enhanced Regeneration isn't bad, plus its suitable with Demonic Dandelion Vine's characteristic since its a plant…"
" Plant Camouflage allows it to disguise into any other plants. That seems suitable too…"
Lin Huang looked through all the documents thoroughly. When it was four in the afternoon, he finally found a skill that impressed him.
" Enhanced Intelligence … This skill is very brilliant…" What Lin Huang saw was a parasite called Brain Eater. As the parasite entered the host, it would devour the host's brain and take over the brain to control the host's body. The nutrients in the body will be sufficient for the growth of the parasite; its intelligence would grow with Enhanced Intelligence and learn everything from the host.
The skill allowed the parasite to learn at a speed of a human genius where it could learn a gold-level combat skill within a couple of days. Such a speed was comparable with Lin Huang's Goldfinger. However, this parasite had one flaw - it had to consume a fresh brain once a month. If it did not eat on time; it will die of exhaustion within 48 hours.
"I have no idea where to find this parasite. If it has Enhanced Intelligence no one would be able to find out that it's controlling a person." Lin Huang recalled the people that were affected in Xiaoxia City. He noticed that the hosts would lose their minds. If the Demonic Dandelion Vine had a higher intelligence than that, the incident in Xiaoxia City would not happen.
After choosing Enhanced Intelligence as the skill that he desired, Lin Huang picked another two skills which were Enhanced Regeneration and Plant Camouflage . He did not find any skill with a good defense so he decided on a disguise skill. It was 10 p.m. when he was done. Lin Xin and Lin Xuan ordered takeaway for dinner at six in the evening. They left his food in the oven and he finished his late dinner by 11 before he went upstairs and urged the two kids to go to bed before going to bed himself…
