Chapter 29: The Race for Survival

Just the memories and inheritances left in the two lives have made Nie Lin's whole life change dramatically. 【Reading.com】

What the dragon fish did on his body, how it activated that life spirit, Nie Lin didn't know anything about it, he only felt like the memories of his past and present lives were mixed together, making him a little confused about who it was.

Nie Lin knew that he needed some time to sort out the contents of those memories, maybe three years, maybe five years, maybe ten years or more.

But there's one thing he's going to do at the moment, because he's made a commitment.

So he had to come to Xiazhou City first, and found the so-called imperial envoy in the post house in the city, as well as Luo Changning.

That Wu Cheng seemed to have been forgotten by Nie Lin in the sea of memories, but when he also joined Luo Changning and the imperial envoy, Wu Cheng still didn't arrive.

Nie Lin didn't think too much about anything, Luo Changning wanted to ask him to go to the tavern in the city to eat and drink that night, but Nie Lin also seemed to be lacking in interest, so he stayed in the house alone and began to sort out those chaotic memories.

Those memories are like scenes of scenes, incoherent, after Nie Lin sorted out the memories of this life and the memories of the previous life, the rest of them were like fragments, so that he couldn't connect at all, and many things made him feel inexplicable.

And thinking back to the words of the dragon fish, he said that although he only has two of the seven realms now, and even before the five realms are recovered, these inheritances are incomplete.

Maybe sometimes he instinctively does something that even he can't understand, maybe sometimes he recalls something based on certain fragments, and even connects them with others to form a complete content.

And taking the strength of the sword as an example, Nie Lin's original sword strength has been steadily improving, and the ninth-level swordsman stage is about to break through the sword master.

But after giving birth to this wonderful change, he can't feel his specific realm strength now, but sometimes he feels that he is still staying in place, but sometimes when he does something that makes him feel incredible, he does feel as if he has recovered the strength of the Sword Venerable in his previous life.

Just like when he killed the eighth-order sword beast in the cave in the mountain, a thought almost suddenly popped up in his mind, so that when the sword beast pounced, he suddenly took out his sword, almost out of instinct, and slashed the sword beast under the sword with a sword, and when Gu Menghan talked about it afterwards, he suddenly felt a little confused, and even he couldn't tell how he shot at that time.

However, in this confusion, Nie Lin decided in his heart that after participating in this damn challenge, he would find a place where he could retreat, sort out these incomprehensible things first, and then find the remaining five life spirits, uncover the secrets that Arowana said had been sealed for thousands of years, and restore his original truth.

......

A month later, Nie Lin and the imperial envoy and Luo Changning and the others came to the place where the Celestial Empire bordered the border with Changge, and only then did Wu Cheng, who had been waiting there for a long time, appear.

Wu Cheng's expression had always been strange when he saw Nie Lin's changes, and there were some things he wanted to say, probably because there were other people present, but he didn't say it.

After another half a month, when he entered the territory of the Changge Empire and rested temporarily in a post house, Nie Lin called Wu Cheng to a forest outside the city and asked Wu Cheng about it, because he also saw that one of the ornaments on Wu Cheng's body was something left by the priest, and he was very familiar with this thing, as if it was left by him.

In the woods, Wu Cheng told Nie Lin about some things he came from in Southern Xinjiang, and Nie Lin soon got some important clues from Wu Cheng's words, that is, there was also a rune array in Southern Xinjiang that was the same as the location of the Arowana, and Wu Cheng and his people called that place Wuling Valley.

And the reason why Wu Cheng came to Donglu to participate in the competition was also to find some ways to solve the parasitism of mutant spirit runes there and the mutated spirit runes that plagued the clansmen in those places, and his other purpose was to find the whereabouts of his grandfather's father, because the great priest in the clan calculated that his grandfather's father would be reborn again after a hundred years.

However, Nie Lin knew that those changes would occur in that place, and it was estimated that the situation in Longquan Mountain was similar, because the other parts of the rune array were destroyed, which caused other rune arrays to be implicated.

However, Nie Lin did not tell Wu Cheng about the solution, if he took out the dragon seal in the rune array, it could solve the problem of rune spirit mutation, but it could leave a greater scourge, so that those scourges were no longer restrained, that was the real scourge of the common people, what should be done, Nie Lin could still save it.

......

Rest in the inn for two days and continue on the third day.

After another month and a half, the group finally arrived at the imperial capital of the Changge Empire, in fact, if Nie Lin was in a hurry, he felt that he could arrive in a few days, because when he was anxious on the road, he would always have an illusion, and he wanted to fly over.

But he restrained the thought and quietly followed the team.

The Changge Empire rose a little later than the Celestial Empire by fifty years, but its early generations of emperors were stronger than the Celestial Emperors, so it laid a solid foundation for the strength of Changge, making the country full of sects and clans and talents, which was better than the Celestial Empire.

And now, because the Celestial Empire still has a sword master who is alone, the status of the Celestial Empire is still rising in a straight line on the continent, and it has faintly overwhelmed the Celestial Empire, and has a strong momentum to replace the hegemony of the Celestial Empire in the Eastern Continent, so that the Celestial Empire listens to him.

After all, according to the law of this world where the law of the jungle is the strongest, nothing can be juxtaposed because of strength, replaced, or trampled under their feet, which is their ultimate goal, not only individuals, but also countries, and no country can tolerate the juxtaposition of its own strength.

And this time, Nie Lin also knew that this was an opportunity for the iron-blooded emperor of the heavenly side to show the Changge Empire that the heavenly side was still strong, so that Changge could restrain his ambition, which was also one of the conditions for the old emperor to allow the existence of the Tianlu Sword Academy, so Nie Lin had to meet the requirements of the old emperor and win the championship for the Heavenly Empire, and play with momentum and majesty.

Political things, although Nie Lin has never had the heart to pay attention to it, it doesn't mean that he doesn't know anything, after they received some of the core high-level personnel of the Eastern Continent Alliance that day, the envoy of the Heavenly Fang emphasized to him in private that he would be merciful to a few people during the challenge and let them live.

This challenge event was very grand and grand, with more than 100 talented teenagers from many countries participating, all of whom were only 18 years old.

These people are regarded as representatives of the younger generation by various countries, and although many small countries do not have much hope of competing for the top spot, they aim for the top 10, so those teenagers are all motivated.

The night before the game, Nie Lin was called over by the Imperial envoy to explain the game, and Nie Lin listened to him impatiently and then went back to his room to rest.

This challenge event, in fact, is a big slaughter, who can hold on to the end, and kill the vast majority of people, get the most points, you can get the kui, although Nie Lin feels that this kind of killing game is a bit too cruel, but he doesn't kill, others are bound to find ways to kill him, you can't talk about mercy here, if you have a soft heart, then you are not far from failure.

So the next morning, when the Survival Challenge officially began, they were herded into a dense and massive forest to accept the seven-day Survival Race.

In this forest, not only are there swords and beasts, which are full of dangers, but even more dangerous are those enemies who may kill you at any time and steal your points card.

On the first day, Nie Lin was just wandering in the forest, casually killing a few sword beasts.

Because those sword beasts were too weak, he really couldn't be interested, but the sword beasts threatened the lives of Luo Changning and Wu Cheng, so he came to help.

However, Wu Cheng and Luo Changning were shocked by Nie Lin's ability to kill a sixth-level sword beast casually, although Nie Lin did not see clearly how he came out with his sword, how he killed the sixth-level sword beast Luo Changning and Wu Cheng did not see it clearly, but they saw clearly that the living sword beast was still fiercely attacking them one second, but the next second, it turned into a dead corpse.

That kind of terrifying degree made the two of them feel that Nie Lin was still very hidden in the competition of the Heavenly Empire, and his true strength may have been beyond the imagination of the two.

Since then, the two have followed closely behind Nie Lin, with Nie Lin as the mainstay, and they are also obedient to Nie Lin.

Nie Lin told them that in the past few days, they only had to kill the sword beasts in this forest leisurely, and the competition for the ranking would start the most fierce on the last day.

On the first day of the survival competition, Nie Lin just slept in the tree behind the butts of several sword beasts, his whole person seemed to turn into air, and those sword beasts couldn't detect him at all, and Luo Changning and the others were in a place not far away, which was a very leisurely place that Nie Lin arranged for them, and they also slept there.

And the next day, Luo Changning really didn't want to be lazy to sleep, so he went out to hunt a few intermediate sword beasts, but he encountered a very strong sixth-level sword beast, as well as a few seventh-level sword beasts, so frightened that he returned to that safe place again and slept again, but Nie Lin never came forward, not knowing what he was doing.

Until the third, fourth, and fifth days passed, Luo Changning and Wu Cheng would go out every day to kill some sword beasts, or after encountering a few unlucky ghosts and meeting them, they would snatch their point cards and return to safety to rest again, waiting for the arrival of the fateful last being.

However, in those few days, they had a terrible phenomenon, that is, the place where Nie Lin and them were located was the place where the most powerful sword beasts gathered, and many competitors did not dare to come there, but what made them horrified was that sometimes even if those sword beasts appeared on them, they would not attack them, and even after seeing Nie Lin, they would hide in fear.

Such a strange phenomenon made Wu Cheng think that Nie Lin had the terrifying ability to subdue sword beasts, while Luo Changning had an illusion that those sword beasts seemed to be raised by Nie Lin, and in front of Nie Lin, they became very well-behaved.

It wasn't until the arrival of the last day that Nie Lin finally appeared in front of the two, they asked Nie Lin, but they got an answer that made them stunned, Nie Lin actually ran outside to play around and came back in the past few days.

After Nie Lin came back, Luo Changning and Wu Cheng were very excited, and Nie Lin told them that they didn't need to fight the enemy, as long as they went to pick up those point cards when the time came.

Just in the confusion of the two, they saw that Nie Lin drove six or seven sword beasts above level 6 to start the most cruel and terrifying beast tide operation in that forest.

Those unlucky people who thought that they would be able to win the final victory as long as they kept the results of the battle on the last day, but at that time, they ushered in the most terrifying scene of their lives, they watched a large number of high-level sword beasts rush out, and without any resistance and resistance, they were all bitten to pieces by those ferocious sword beasts.

After seeing the appearance of this terrifying sword beast frenzy, some competitors were so frightened that they directly withdrew from the forest and announced that they had given up the final competition, but the people waiting for the news on the periphery were shocked.

It wasn't until the seventh day, an hour before the end of time, that the terrifying beast tide that had been raging for a day and a half finally subsided, and Nie Lin took Luo Changning and Wu Cheng, who had fallen into a stupor, to pick up the points cards that had been thrown everywhere in the forest.

The three of them summed up, and after distributing those score cards equally, Nie Lin got the lion's head and got 1,300 points, Luo Changning got 1,000 points, and Wu Cheng got 900 points.

Especially when they walked out of the fear-filled forest at the last moment unharmed, even somewhat leisurely, and presented their points cards, all the people who came to watch the battle on this last day were shocked.

1,300 points, this is undoubtedly a great miracle in the history of the Donglu Survival Tournament, and no one has ever been able to score such a terrifying score in such an extremely dangerous situation.

You must know that the highest score winner in the previous session was only about 800 points, and among the three people from the Heavenly Empire who came this time, the worst one also broke the record held by the Eastern Continent for 500 years, how can this not be shocking.

Just after the three of them came out and the league organizing committee announced the final results, someone asked Nie Lin why they got such high points.

But Nie Lin told them a word, sometimes the game does not depend on strength, and people who use their brains, coupled with strength, can do it.

And this sentence has been recorded in the annals of history since then, so that whenever people in later generations see this sentence, they will think of how energetic Nie Lin was to create a game record that no one had ever created before.

But they didn't know that the creator of the tragedy of the sword beast riot in the forest also came from Nie Lin, but this secret, since Luo Changning and Wu Cheng until the end of their lives, did not tell it to future generations, especially Wu Cheng, he was already suspecting in his heart that Nie Lin was the reincarnation of his grandfather's soul.

For Nie Lin, a boring competition for the face of the Celestial Empire came to an end, although Nie Lin's fame also gained unprecedented improvement in this competition, and once became a household name in the entire Eastern Continent and an idol worshiped by countless young people, but the day after the game, he did not return to the Celestial Empire, he disappeared from people's sight, and there was no news again.
