Chapter 100

As the crack in the sky was pulled by two arms, it emitted a series of mournful cries. Facing the countless disbelieving expressions around, the crack began to slowly close. The surrounding void could not withstand this brutal force and continuously burst, emitting light crackling sounds. It seemed unwilling to just disappear like this; the crack, like a giant mouth of a wild beast, kept struggling. However, in front of the two large hands, it gradually lost its power to resist. The lightning falling from the Heavenly Punishment Platform became less and less until not a single bolt of lightning remained. Lin Zheng suddenly waved his hands, and with a bang, the crack in the sky completely dissipated. The morning sunlight once again spread down.

"Boom!" The crowd below was instantly ignited by this scene, and countless people cheered loudly. Regardless of whether they would go up to challenge next, Lin Zheng had given them the most stunning opening, and they would not be stingy with their sincere cheers!

Li Ruoshui looked at Lin Zheng on the platform with a dazed expression. Beside her, Lin Qin waved her small white jade-like fists and shouted loudly, which made Lin Wen on the platform quite unhappy. From a distance, he kept signaling Lin Qin to maintain a ladylike image. Wei Chi Huang, in mid-air, quickly showed a look of surprise, then retreated in the air and sat down with a grand posture, as if there was a large chair beneath him!

"Begin!" The deep voice instantly quieted the noisy crowd. Everyone stared wide-eyed at the five people in the arena, well, four people and a wolf. Who would be the first to make a move?

"Roar! This is the life of a wolf, with women, fights, and drinks!" The rogue wolf took out a bottle of wine from somewhere and was drinking it with relish, his large eyes constantly scanning the crowd.

Lin Zheng and the others looked at the rogue wolf with dark faces. Clearly, he insisted on coming to join in, but after coming, he did nothing except show off. Lin Zheng even believed that if the four of them failed, this guy would definitely surrender!

Lin Zheng shook his head helplessly, looking at the sea of people around him, his heart slowly began to heat up. Big brother, did you see that? Your little Lin Zheng is now facing ten thousand people and fighting with a smile! The glory of the family, your glory, I will bear it all. One day, I will make the Lin and Yue families proud because of me!

Without giving Lin Zheng time to reflect, thud thud thud! Five young martial artists jumped up from below. As soon as they came up, they took their stances and launched an attack without waiting for Lin Zheng and the others to act. Lin Zheng's heated heart had not yet cooled down. Seeing the five people jump up, he instantly burst into action. With a flash, he suddenly disappeared from his original position. The next moment, a barrage of punches enveloped the five people!

"Powerful! Too powerful!" Someone in the crowd shouted in a daze. On the Heavenly Punishment Platform, the five people were hit from all directions like punching bags, and several cries of pain echoed as they fell back to the ground. Lin Zheng stood there, having dispelled some of the pent-up frustration in his heart. He was too lazy to deal with these minor opponents. The cultivation of these five people was too weak, clearly sent as cannon fodder by others.

As the cries of the five people faded, several figures suddenly rushed onto the platform, and this time there were ten people. According to the rules, the number of opponents could not exceed twice the number of the challengers, so the maximum number of people who could go up was ten. Otherwise, if thousands of people rushed up at once, Lin Zheng and the others would be crushed to death without even needing to fight!

The battle continued. Lin Wen's jade pen moved swiftly, and several "bind" characters appeared, firmly trapping the ten people. In the shocked gazes of the crowd, Lin Qian "gently" sent them off the stage, the sound of bone cracking filling the air. Not killing them was already a sign of Lin Qian's mercy. However, the next wave of people was not so lucky under Lin Dao's hands. Lin Dao directly drew his sword and cut down a group of people, the blood staining the platform red, and the battle began to take on a more brutal flavor.

Wave after wave of people jumped up onto the platform and were beaten back down. Time passed bit by bit, and by noon, Lin Zheng and the others had not had a moment's rest. The crowd showed no signs of leaving, their faces flushed with excitement, and they kept shouting loudly.

"Bang bang!" Another wave of people was sent flying. Before Lin Zheng and the others could catch their breath, the next wave stepped onto the platform, another ten people. Whether it was someone's arrangement or the crowd's self-organization, the challengers coming up to the platform became stronger and more varied, using all sorts of bizarre methods and weapons, and even some people rushed up with the intention of mutual destruction!

Lin Zheng glanced at the eager crowd below. If this continued, the first day would see a significant drain on everyone's energy. He looked at Lin Qian, who nodded in response. Suddenly, Lin Zheng, Lin Wen, and Lin Dao surrounded Lin Qian in the center, each guarding a side. Lin Qian, with a serious expression, began to form hand seals, starting slow and simple, then gradually speeding up and becoming more complex. Finally, Lin Qian's hands moved so fast they became a blur. Wave after wave of people jumped up onto the platform, and the crowd could see that Lin Qian was preparing a powerful move. They rushed onto the platform like mad, trying to interrupt Lin Qian, but were mercilessly beaten back by Lin Zheng and the others.

Finally, a huge wave of energy emanated from Lin Qian. His hands were moving at their fastest, and with a face covered in sweat, Lin Qian suddenly pressed his hands to the ground. Boom boom boom! Several powerful explosions echoed, and majestic human faces appeared on the Heavenly Punishment Platform. These faces gradually became clearer, and then huge stone figures stood up on the platform!

"Great Puppet Technique: Borrowing Objects to Form!" With Lin Qian's roar, the huge stone figures finally began to move, their heavy footsteps shaking the entire platform!

"Great Talisman Technique: Heavenly Talisman Bestowing Spirit!" Lin Wen dodged an incoming attack with a flash, then punched the opponent out of the arena. Lin Wen's jade pen moved swiftly, and several crystals shot out, accurately landing on the chests of the stone figures. Then, several "spirit" characters floated onto the stone figures, and they instantly came to life, moving flexibly and attacking the challengers on the Heavenly Punishment Platform. These stone figures had extremely flexible joints, and their heads and arms could move without any blind spots.

With the help of the stone figures, Lin Wen again moved his jade pen, and several "control," "defense," "shield," and "attack" characters were instantly added to the stone figures. Instantly, a glow appeared on the stone figures, and the rough stone skin became crystalline, even with a faint layer of armor appearing on them!

After everything was complete, over a dozen stone figures surrounded Lin Zheng and the others like giant guards. Lin Zheng and the others quickly sat down to recover their energy and spirit.

"How are you, Lin Qian?" Lin Zheng couldn't help but ask, seeing Lin Qian's slightly pale face.

"Third Brother, don't worry. It's just a bit of energy consumption. This Heavenly Punishment Platform is quite strange. Look at the ground; the areas we originally destroyed are now completely restored, and even the stone figures I summoned left no marks on the ground!" Lin Qian replied, quite curious about the Heavenly Punishment Platform.

"Hmm, it's likely that this Heavenly Punishment Platform has some kind of array inscribed on it, or it might be a magical treasure!" Lin Wen seemed to have discovered some clues.

"No problem, this actually works to our advantage. Everyone, quickly recover. As long as we can last through the day, we can plan better at night!" Lin Zheng finished speaking, and his spatial ring flashed. A mountain of crystals appeared in front of everyone, and they silently picked up the crystals and began to recover.

The rogue wolf leisurely drank his wine, occasionally inserting crystals into the stone figures. Lin Zheng had already taught the rogue wolf how to operate the stone figures, and he used them skillfully. Under the rogue wolf's command, the stone figures protected Lin Zheng and the others tightly.

The crowd below watched the scene with wide eyes. Feng Luan Kong of the Feng family stared at the scene, the original favorable situation had disappeared, and Lin Zheng and the others had already begun to recover quickly.

"Who would have thought they had this trick up their sleeve? Tell the people below to fight harder. If they can't even take down a few stone figures, do we have to go up now? If something goes wrong, won't we be giving others an advantage?" People in the crowd whispered, and the attacks on the platform became even more intense.

"Ouch? The wolf is angry!" The rogue wolf shouted, seemingly annoyed that someone had interrupted his drinking. He commanded two stone figures to grab a martial artist who had jumped up, and then a third stone figure hit the martial artist's vital point with a powerful punch, causing the martial artist to cry out and fall off the platform. This scene made the crowd shudder. Such a large fist and such a powerful punch made many people instinctively tighten their legs.

"Ha ha, the wolf likes to hear your cries, rabbits! Come on!" The rogue wolf then commanded three stone figures to trap another martial artist. As before, a fourth stone figure hit the martial artist's vital point, causing the martial artist's eyes to bulge, and he fainted without even a cry, then was thrown off the platform. The force of the throw was so great that it created a large pit in the ground below.

The crowd watched in shock as the rogue wolf defended and attacked. This wolf was too human! Under his command, the dozen stone figures were more flexible than ordinary martial artists and unleashed astonishing killing power, especially with the increased damage to vital points! Who would train that area?

"This old wolf, indeed has more than one trick up his sleeve!" Lin Zheng thought, watching the rogue wolf play. He then ignored the rogue wolf, exchanged glances with the others, and began to cultivate. The morning's battle had given everyone some insights, and they seized the opportunity to cultivate while the rogue wolf was in action.

The crowd below, watching Lin Zheng and the others in deep meditation and the strange large wolf commanding the stone figures, were both amused and amazed. Was this the fierce battle under the Seven Absolute Order? Were the challengers too weak, or were Lin Zheng and the others too strong? No one could give an answer. On the platform, the rogue wolf was commanding the stone figures to chase the challengers who jumped up.

One after another, the challengers were sent down by the rogue wolf's strange moves. After the first, second, and third times, the crowd finally burst into laughter. The rogue wolf, in a very showy manner, waved his claws at the crowd, looking very pleased with himself. Many factions had a dark expression, wishing they could rush up and stew the damn old wolf into a pot! But now
