Lin Shen was still observing the environnt of Evil Speech Planet when he noticed a space transmission portal open, and a figure walked out from it.
A challenge that complies with the rules cannot be refused, but one can choose to forfeit, forfeiting is the sa as admitting defeat, and the ranking will be replaced by the opponent.
Those who could challenge Lin Shen were all Ascenders ranked in the top ten, and most of them were very powerful.
The reason I say most is that there were just too many variables in this Ascension elimination match, and many top Ascenders failed to even break into the top hundred.
Di Esi fared even worse, ranking in the ninety millions, nearly missing the chance to break into the Great Cosmic Clans' list, sothing unimaginable in the past.
But Di Esi didn't feel much about it, he could keep challenging upwards, and ultimately he would still climb up.
Di Esi originally didn't plan to aim for a very high ranking; participating in the racial ranking battle, he mainly wanted to cross swords with a few opponents he was interested in.
As long as he could achieve this goal, he did not care about his ranking.
The opponent he had most wanted to confront was Undefeated King, but now it had changed to Lin Shen, so Di Esi was determined to climb up.
Di Esi could only advance ten places at a ti, heaven knows how long it would take for him to break into the top ten.
What was expected to be a lengthy process turned out to be shortened as Di Esi, after a hundred consecutive successful challenges, triggered the overranking challenge rule that allowed him to directly challenge Ascenders within a hundred places above him, which also sped up his ranking rise.
Kristin's situation was sowhat better than Di Esi's, but her ranking was also after the ten million mark, and like Di Esi, she was also struggling to climb up the ranks.
On the other hand, many of those ranked ahead were lesser-known Ascenders.
For instance, this one challenging Lin Shen right now was a rather obscure Ascender, not even from one of the Great Cosmic Clans.
The only bit of fa he had ca from the Ascension elimination matches.
Kobor, from the hardly ever heard of Earth Core Race, seized the opportunity during the elimination matches, using his silver tongue and good organizational skills to establish a large team early on, and he hoarded most of the snatched resources to himself.
Later on, he had a clear strategy, joining Lin Shen's team proactively to save his points from being evenly divided by Di Esi.
Now Kobor, hardly a na before, has suddenly beco one of the top ten Ascenders in the universe, albeit temporarily, but it was enough to excite him.
Originally, with his strength, it was uncertain whether he could enter the Great Cosmic Clans' list, let alone the top ten.
Kobor knew he definitely couldn't hold onto the ranking, so he took the initiative to challenge Lin Shen first, not giving others a chance to challenge him.
"Boss, don't fight, it's ," Kobor shouted imdiately upon arrival.
This left the spectating crowd bewildered, he wasn't of the sa race as Lin Shen, and what's this talk of one's own people in a racial ranking battle. Even if they truly were of the sa race, they wouldn't challenge their own kin.
Lin Shen was also a bit stunned, unclear about what was going on.
Having only seen him once or twice, Lin Shen couldn't rember who was who, let alone the fact that he had over a billion subordinate Ascenders at that ti; how could he rember this Kobor.
Kobor hurriedly shouted again, "Boss, during the elimination match, I was the one following you..."
Only then did Lin Shen realize why Kobor was calling him boss, but after sizing him up for a while, he still couldn't rember which one he was.
Kebol had already approached, shouting as he walked, "The noise here is too loud, boss, why did you choose a planet like this?"
Without giving Lin Shen a chance to speak, Kebol continued yelling, "I ca here just to say thank you to you, boss. Without your help, with my ability, it would be difficult not only to enter the top ten of the ranking list, but even to get on the list of billions. Thank you, I really an it—thank you so much."
Excited, Kebol walked up to Lin Shen, extending both hands, wanting to shake hands with him.
Seeing Kebol's extended hand, Kebol imdiately grasped Lin Shen's hand with enthusiasm and said, "To et the universe's number one Ascender here is the honor of my life. I, Kebol, have dedicated my life to the developnt of Aircraft, committed to elevating our family's thousand-year heritage of Aircraft to greatness, improving it day after day for a hundred years, and I've finally created the most recent model of Pursuer Aircraft—superior quality, powerful, and top-notch control..."
Lin Shen looked at the hand holding his, at Kebol who kept shouting at the top of his voice, and felt sowhat torn between laughter and tears.
"Pursuer brand Aircraft, letting your life catch up with the speed of light, a person goes and the Aircraft remains, passing down through generations... boss, rember to co find later, I've prepared the most advanced Pursuer Aircraft for you, a gift at no charge." After he finished his tirade, Kebol bowed to Lin Shen, thanked him, and then directly chose to forfeit the match.
The spectators were dumbfounded, as they had not expected such an oddity in a top ten battle among the universe's Ascenders.
"Haha, that Kebol really is a genius of madness," Tia laughed until she cried.
"It's only because Lin Shen stirred up so much trouble that such a character could get into the top ten of the rankings," Catherine also felt sowhat torn between laughter and tears.
"Life is, after all, full of uncertainties," Tia's laughter grew even rrier.
No sooner had Kebol left than another portal appeared, and the new challenger stepped in.
The spectators, fearing another oddball like Kebol, looked closely and, seeing that the newcor was a mber of the Chaos Clan, knew there wouldn't be a repeat of the previous farce;
In front of everyone, Lin Shen turned Faceless to ash with a single point, thereby thoroughly offending the Chaos Clan.
When a Chaos Clan participant faced Lin Shen, it was certainly a fight to the death unless Lin Shen was willing to forfeit.
"You say you can shatter the Chaos God Bell with one finger, don't you? Shatter another one and show ," the Chaos Clan mber, known as Faceless, imdiately summoned his Chaos God Bell Life Base, shielding his body and charging towards Lin Shen.
Since the Chaos Clan mbers lacked facial features and all looked very similar, plus their Life Bases were the sa, Lin Shen couldn't tell the difference between Faceless and Wu Mian at first glance and even thought that Wu Mian had co back to life.
Although Lin Shen had the ability to break a Tenth Turn Chaos God Bell Life Base with one finger, he wouldn't waste it on him.
Seeing Faceless charging at him, Lin Shen casually launched a Surfing Tri-Punch.
The Fist Power struck the Chaos God Bell like a giant wave, sending the bell and Faceless inside flying away together.
With the bonus of a Double Life Base and the strength from the Boundless Strength Contract of the Death Powder, Lin Shen's power of a single punch was already far beyond a Tenth Turn Ascension.
His casual Triple Stack Punch sent the Chaos God Bell flying backwards.
The Chaos God Bell was indeed a defensive artifact, and such a punch failed to leave even a mark on it.
But the Chaos God Bell was sent flying backward by this blow, and then got caught in a hurricane. Unable to control his body, Faceless directly collided into a tornado.
Boom! Boom!
Inside the tornado, lightning and thunder raged, crackling and booming intensely.
