Chapter 1857: Chapter 1857: Consecutive Victories

At this point, Alfredo could only let out an awkward smile. On that note, he turned around and left reluctantly without another word.

Around the same time, Joy turned to Zen and said, “Don't blame him. Everyone has their own responsibility.”

Alfredo had been wanting to drive Zen out of the Han Clan's Floating Island ever since he heard Sheridan was killed by him. As the head of the Han Clan, it was appropriate for him to do so in order to seek the best interest of the clan and to make sure he kept everything as hands on as possible.

“I know,” Zen responded. “And my responsibility is to earn as many points as I can.” He let out a faint sigh and smiled.

Everyone faces challenges, and anyone in high position or authority is not an exception to that. When one is not strong enough, they can't blame others who have ignored them. In the end, it's really the survival of the fittest.

Through it all, Joy was afraid that Zen would burst in anger at Alfredo. She was relieved to see Zen's calm expression. She sighed and giggled, wondering how well Mike was able to train Zen for him to be such an excellent young man.

She knew that Holy Jay had a knack for studying and solving difficult problems, Holy Bromley was good at exploring and creating, and Holy Mike had expertise in strategic planning and organizing overall arrangements.

In the past, Mike, who had previously made a few mistakes, was attacked by the members of the Hall of Holy Beings and got into a dangerous situation. For sure, he must have already planned to make Zen avenge himself. However, Joy didn't expect that the entire Evolutionary Universe was created by Mike, just for Zen.

Of course, it was impossible for Mike to take everything under his control. But for some reason, luck was on his side and his strategy brought out the best results.

At the very least, Zen had achieved Mike's expectations step by step over the years that he had been training. Now, Zen had walked more than half of the way, and was finally walking away for good. The remaining path was the most difficult part.

Meanwhile, in the Hall of True Gods, Zen swung open the door. Everyone who saw him was brought to a commotion, and whispers started to fill the air once again

There were only two months left before the rankings of Floating Islands above the Time Sea would be determined. In order to keep their disciples motivated and determined, the wealthy clans on the Floating Islands had announced various tempting rewards one after another.

Because of this, the atmosphere in the Hall of True Gods grew tenser and tenser the closer the deadline got.

Some disciples from the big clans who used to stay long enough to finish three matches and then make their way home, were now hovering around in the Hall of True Gods all day long.

During this time, the Jade Wall of Legends grew to become extremely popular. In order to enter the Arena of Legends, competitions would often take place in front of the Jade Wall among the warriors.

“Two months... There's not much time left for me,” said Zen. He looked over at the low-rank True Gods in the Hall of True Gods before returning to his room. There, he was to choose his opponent for his battle.

Once his door closed, people began to whisper and wonder again.

“It seems that anonymous man is back.”

“For some reason, he didn't choose his opponent, nor did he give others the chance to choose him. He should be planning to choose his opponent at random.”

“How confident of him!”

According to the rules of the Hall of True Gods, it was unnecessary to gather in the hall like how everyone was doing. If one had confidence in their own strength, all they had to do was choose someone at random and defeat them. It was that simple.

In fact, for the vast majority of the low-rank True Gods, it was common knowledge to choose your opponent carefully so that you could have advantage in battle. At this point, people had learned to restrain their auras to appear weak. They would do anything and everything to increase their chances of winning.

Other than choosing an opponent, warriors could also come into an agreement with someone in the Hall of True Gods in which the winner of the fight would obtain a certain amount of divine might coins. They did this to make the battles more exciting for themselves.

However, Zen was only interested in earning points as he was 100% confident in his strength and abilities. Hence, he didn't once take a glance of interest in the battles that were fought for divine might coins.

But even though he was not interested, people paid a lot of attention to him. As a proving godly warrior, he was so conspicuous among those True Gods.

When the anonymous man had just won two consecutive wins, he drew the attention of a few powerful clans on the Floating Islands.

Zen, regarded as the “anonymous man,” challenged warriors who were way above his level, yet he still managed to win two consecutive wins. This was something very unusual, and that was why people were drawn to it. ȒâŊǒВĚṠ

Later on, Zen won four matches in a row, which naturally caused more commotion among the people.

After seeing his advances, wealthy clans on the Floating Islands began to investigate Zen's identity in secret, but he didn't show anything special from the beginning to the end. The four men who went against Zen also got nothing about his identity, and the only thing they noticed was the two golden rays of light in Zen's eyes. They resembled the Eyes of Fire God, but they couldn't be sure because he didn't use the theurgy of the Eyes of Fire God.

The clans began to pay closer attention to the anonymous man. If anyone was able to gather information, these people would naturally report it to their own clans for advantage.

In the past few years, the rankings of the Floating Islands happened to be very stable and organized. Because of this, all the powerful clans already knew who was in the lead, and who was falling behind. It was rare for them to guess it wrong.

For example, the Han Clan was in danger of falling out of the top 10. This led them to become allies with the Leng Clan, so they could both boost up their rankings.

However, Zen's presence made the battle unpredictable. As he continued to win, it directly affected the clan rankings, so there was a need to monitor him throughout the process.

The moment Zen returned to his room, the door to his room flashed with blue light and began to float upward. His ranking had been increased more than thirty places.

“So fast!”

“Plus, considering the time he spent in finding his opponent when he went back to his room, it only took him less than a minute to find and defeat his opponent, another low-rank True God!”

“He has already had five victories in a row! This is truly something to worry about. Which clan did they say he was from?”

The doors in the Hall of True Gods continued to shift from rays of light up and down. This wasn't a surprise to anyone, but none of them were attracted to any of the doors aside from Zen's.

Around five minutes after Zen won his fifth round, the door began to move upwards once again.

Just like that, he was at his sixth consecutive win!

Zen easily dominated his matches. What made him feel the most accomplished was being able to smoothly absorb the Internal Momentum of two new Godly Ways throughout these matches. Moreover, the extra reward points doubled, so he gained more than one thousand and two hundred points which shocked himself.

However, according to what Joy had told him, Zen didn't use the Gods Killing Sword Array at all.

In the eyes of the Holy Beings of the wealthy clans on the Floating Islands, the Gods Killing Sword Array was equivalent to Joy. As a Demi-holy Being, she was able to fight against with a Holy Being with the assistance of this particular array. Many of them did not pay enough attention to the Cross-world Theurgy. Joy, on the other hand, was able to use the Power Shaping and the Cross-world Theurgy to their maximum potential.

The only difference between Joy and the Holy Beings was that her Purple Sky Land did not guarantee her immortality. The Holy Beings, however, for as long as the universes they created were immortal, they would be immortal.

In the end, she wished for Zen to be a variable of the Han Clan.

If Zen earned a great deal of points and gave them to the Purple Soul Hall when it was necessary, he might as well be the key to increasing the rank of Han Clan's Floating Island. But if he executed the Gods Killing Sword Array earlier than he should, wealthy clans on the Floating Islands, such as the Qin Clan and Tang Clan, would know the anonymous man was from the Han Clan and suppress their points.

Zen had to play smart in his battles, using only his own strength and soul to deal with his opponents.

Two hours had passed and Zen had just bagged seven consecutive wins, while the extra points in one single round had increased to one thousand points.

Two hours turned into four, and at this point, Zen had won nine consecutive wins. The extra points for one round had increased to two thousand and six hundred points, and it looked like nothing was going to stop him.

Four hours turned into a quick six hours, and Zen was standing with ten consecutive victories. The extra points amounted to four thousand seven hundred.

His door's ranking was also getting higher and higher around the Hall of True Gods, and it was almost so high that people couldn't even see it anymore.

Eventually, the noises in the Hall of True Gods began to fade into softened tones. When they saw this scene, many of the warriors began to retreat to their clans in dismay.

“Can you believe it? The anonymous man has accumulated ten consecutive wins already!”

“If he wins one more, he'll obtain eight thousand and three hundred points!”

“He definitely has potential to beat warriors with higher cultivation levels than him, and he has never lost one battle. Does anyone know what clan he is from?”

“This is a crisis. If that guy is from the Zhou Clan, our Bai Clan would be suppressed!”

“But okay, this is also an opportunity, people! Imagine it—if we defeat the anonymous man, we can gain his points, too! Just where is he from?”

“He's been a mystery throughout all the battles. He has never been defeated when he was fighting against proving godly warriors; even his ranking has not appeared once. Why is it so impossible to determine his identity?!”

“I want to challenge this man!”

Every time a person who took part in a battle that was beyond their cultivation level appeared, the True Gods in the Arena of Legends would fuss like never before. It left people enraged, giddy, and perplexed all at the same time.

Historically, powerful clans hated people who challenged warriors with higher cultivation levels because it broke the balance among the clans. What made it worse was that no one knew who he was, which made them very suspicious and frankly, mistrusting.

However, this was also a huge opportunity. Everyone looked forward to garnering his points and some low-rank True Gods, who were highly confident in their strengths, were now eager to get a fight out of Zen.

To their disappointment, Zen had no plans to leave his room. He was still going to choose his opponents at random, so everyone waiting just had to bank on their luck in order to fight him.
