Chapter 59
"This is a domain."
"Domain power."
"Only Rank Four and Rank Five evolvers can master domain power."
Host Sun Bin seemed to realize something, his expression excitedly dering.
Domain power, theoretically, can only be mastered by Rank Four or Rank Five evolvers. However, there are no absolutes, as certain special evolutionary paths and the evolver''s fortuitous encounters can allow them to grasp domain power in advance.
Of course, these prematurely acquired domain powers are at an initial stage and cannot bepared to the true domain powers of Rank Four or Rank Five evolvers. Even so, within Rank One, Rank Two, and Rank Three evolvers, possessing domain power in advance is akin to cheating.
Through the domain, one can perceive everything in advance and then implement suppression, essentially sweeping through evolvers of the same level.
"I didn''t expect that in this edition of the Dong Ning City Arena, there would be an evolver who has mastered the domain."
Host Sun Bin was full of emotion.
His gaze fell on Lin Yuan, who stood in the back and seemingly had never joined the battlefield. At this moment, he could also see that this "neer," Lin Yuan, was the evolver who had mastered the domain.
The use of the domain consumes a significant amount of energy, and Zong Bai and the others are currently fighting with all their might, making it impossible for them to use the domain.
Only Lin Yuan, who has been in the background from the beginning, has the ability to unleash the domain.
At the same time, the citizens watching the arena were equally stunned, then erupted in excitement.
"So powerful! With his own strength, he is simultaneously suppressing the four evolvers from Zijing City, forcing them to only disy ten to twenty percent of their true strength. This is amazing."
An evolver eximed softly, "Who is this ''neer''? Which bigshot''s offspring from Dong Ning City is he?"
"Yeah, yeah! Brother is amazing!"
Although Lin Yi couldn''t understand, upon hearing the host''s praise for Lin Yuan, she immediately cheered.
"Domain?"
"Could our son really have the ability to defeat Zijing City?"
Lin Shoucheng murmured to himself. He had only ttered his wife just now and hadn''t expected it to be a reality.
On the arena, the battle continued.
The four evolvers from Zijing City were suffering under suppression.
They also realized that all of this was because of Lin Yuan.
However, they had no way to deal with it.
Under the ubiquitous Tai Chi Field suppression, every step they took became extremely difficult.
One evolver, skilled in speed, wanted to get close to Lin Yuan. However, the closer he got, the greater the pressure he faced, almost kneeling on the ground in the end.
"What''s going on?"
The captain of the Giant team panted heavily.
He vaguely sensed that the pervasive domain power could instantly surpass his endurance limits if Lin Yuan wished. But why hadn''t they beenpletely defeated yet and were instead being dragged on?
"Is he ying with us?"
The Giant captain felt extremely frustrated.
Yet, he didn''t know what to do.
Surrender voluntarily?
He couldn''t bring himself to do that.
Time passed slowly.
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour had passed.
The arena''s size was gradually shrinking.
The rule of the arena match was to reduce the arena size after half an hour to prevent evolvers proficient in speed from intentionally dying and avoiding directbat.
"Almost there."
Lin Yuan''s mind slightly moved, slightly intensifying the Tai Chi Field.
Immediately, the four evolvers from Zijing City, facing the attacks from Zong Bai and the others, began to die one after another.
With Lin Yuan''s strength, the Tai Chi Field could crush opponents with just a single thought.
However, doing so would leave no time toprehend the evolutionary paths practiced by the opponents.
That''s why it had been dragged until now.
"This arena match is really worth participating in."
Lin Yuan sighed lightly.
Carefully observing everything on the four evolvers during this match was very helpful for Lin Yuan''s Martial Way evolutionary path.
The Martial Way evolutionary path was apletely new path created by Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan stood at the peak, at the limit, and whaty ahead was a nk space.
Lin Yuan needed to gradually explore and create in this space. During this period, he had to absorb various strengths and weaknesses from other evolutionary paths, integrating them and bringing forth new ideas. This couldn''t be achieved by merely closing oneself off.
Of course, with his unrivaled insight, even if he closed himself off, he believed he could gradually perfect his Martial Way evolutionary path. However, the time required would certainly be much longer than it is now, and the subsequent development of the Martial Way might not be asprehensive without incorporating the strengths of numerous other evolutionary paths.
"We won?"
Even though they had expected it, Zong Bai and the others felt like they were dreaming at this moment. They had actually defeated opponents they could never have defeated before.
After a moment of rxation, Zong Bai, Cao Rong, and the others respectfully approached Lin Yuan.
They knew clearly that their victory this time was entirely thanks to Lin Yuan. Without him, with their strength alone, they would have been crushed by the Giant team captain.
"In this tournament, no matter how far we advance and whatever rewards we obtain, I''ll give them all to Mr. Lin."
Zong Bai thought for a moment before speaking. Being content is essential, especially considering the strength Lin Yuan had just disyed. This time, they had a good chance of reaching the top 5,000 or even the top 3,000, 2,000, and Zong Bai felt he wasn''t deserving of the official rewards.
"I agree."
Cao Rong and Lu Xiguang exchanged nces and said the same.
In the following two months, the arena tournament continued. Besides the teampetition, Lin Yuan also participated in the individual matches.
As for the results, he would ''narrowly win'' in each match. Lin Yuan could undoubtedly finish off opponents quickly, but that would defeat the purpose of participating in the arena tournament. The goal was to extend the duration of each battle, carefullyprehend each evolver''s path, and then perfect his own Martial Way by taking the essence and discarding the dross.
Most evolvers participating in the arena tournament were quite powerful, especially as they progressed further. Every evolver could be considered a genius.
The top 500 evolvers were mostly at the peak of Rank Two, and asionally, there would be a few Rank Three evolvers.
Soon, the Dong Ning City team''s ranking in the teampetition entered the top one hundred on the Vast Wave Star. In a match against opponents from the central continent, they lost.
The opponents were from one of the most prosperous cities in the central continent, Blue Moon City. Among their four yers, three were at the peak of Rank Two, and one was at Rank Three. Moreover, they practiced extremely powerful evolutionary paths.
Especially the Rank Three evolver who cultivated the Dream Realm evolutionary path. So, at the beginning of the match, Zong Bai and the others hadn''t reacted before being eliminated by the gaze of the Dream Realm evolver, falling into a deep-level dream and disqualified.
Only Lin Yuan remained.
Nevertheless, even in this situation, Lin Yuan, withstood the frenzied attacks from the four evolvers for a full half-hour, relying on the Tao of Tai Chi.
In the end, when the arena size shrank, Lin Yuan still held on. If it weren''t for the rules of the teampetition stating that if a clear winner wasn''t determined, the number of remaining evolvers on the field would be used as a basis for judgment, Lin Yuan could have persisted.
On the Blue Moon City side, there were four remaining evolvers.
On the Dong Ning City side, only Lin Yuan was left.
Therefore, Blue Moon City won.
"I didn''t expect Dong Ning City to actually enter the top one hundred globally."
President Liao seemed to be in a dream. This was a ranking he hadn''t dared to think about before.
Not only him, even if all the past presidents of the Evolver Association were gathered together, they couldn''t have dreamed of entering such a rank.
"All of this is because of Mr. Lin."
"Relying solely on Lin Yuan..."
Zong Bai and the others also spoke up.
If it were only the top 3,000 or 2,000, he might have dared to boast a bit in front of President Liao. But breaking into the top 100 was just too intimidating. The top 100 in the global arena tournament, every evolver, even if they were just support-type evolvers, could easily sweep all the evolvers in Dong Ning City. Zong Bai, despite having a thick skin, dared not take credit for this achievement.
"It''s Mr. Lin."
President Liao nodded with satisfaction. He wasn''t a fool; he personally watched the match and naturally noticed that Lin Yuan was the one driving the storm.
Zong Bai and the others were mere essories.
"How is Mr. Lin now?"
President Liao asked with concern.
Since losing to the four evolvers from Blue Moon City, Lin Yuan had left the virtual universe.
"Mr. Lin said he wants to seclude himself for a while."
Zong Bai replied truthfully. Lin Yuan had indeed said something along those lines before leaving.
"I see, Mr. Lin must be exhausted."
President Liao nodded. After all, the opponents from Blue Moon City were too powerful, especially the rare evolver who followed the Dream Realm evolutionary path, reaching the Rank Three level. In the real world, a full-force attack from such an evolver could put a small city, with nearly a million residents, into a simultaneous sleep. Dealing with such a terrifying opponent did require a lot of mental and physical effort.
Water Moon Residential Area.
Residence number 32.
Underground training ground.
Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.
After dozens of arena matches and encountering hundreds and thousands of different evolvers, the strengths and weaknesses of countless evolutionary paths surged in his mind. Simultaneously, with his unrivaled insight, heprehended and integrated them.
At some point, Lin Yuan suddenly opened his eyes.
The interweaving Yin-Yang Tai Chi pattern shed deep in his pupils.
"Rank Three."
Lin Yuan let out a breath.
The aura within his body began to change rapidly.
Finally, the Martial Way evolutionary path reached Rank Three.
