Chapter 142: Chaos Battle

self, dare not face the self in the mirror. 。She was afraid to see those eyes that had lost their sparkle, afraid to see that gaunt face. 。She began to escape, escaping reality, escaping herself. 。She...Suddenly, a contemptuous and dismissive remark echoed through the hall, like a bolt of lightning splitting the sky, instantly capturing the attention of everyone present.

All eyes turned to one spot—a young man dressed in strange and flamboyant attire, leaning back nonchalantly in a chair, with his legs crossed and fingers constantly digging into his nostrils. He then casually flicked them away as if nothing had happened.

This disgusting scene instantly made everyone feel disgusted. They glared at this ignorant wretch with hateful eyes. Some hot-tempered people were so enraged that smoke came out of their nostrils, and they couldn't help but curse him out loudly.

However, in the face of everyone's hostility, this young man seemed to ignore it completely. He even closed his eyes, a look of extreme enjoyment on his face, as if the greater the animosity directed at him, the happier he became.

Those few who were seething with rage, upon seeing this, became even more unbearable. They strode straight towards the young man, ready to give him a taste of his own medicine.

Just as they were about to reach the youngsters, a staff member rushed into the hall, his face grim as he shouted in a loud voice, "Silence is required within headquarters! If there are any disputes, resolve them outside!"

Hearing this, the few people had no choice but to stop reluctantly, but they still glared fiercely at the young man, gritting their teeth and saying: "Hmph, we'll see. When we get out of here, just wait and see how I deal with you!"

A young person let out a dismissive "tsk" sound, then nonchalantly waved their hand, showing their indifference to the surrounding things.

This little storm passed, but Wang Lin deeply etched this young man into his mind.

After all, daring to challenge so many people at once either proves that he is exceptionally skilled and truly doesn't care about others; or it only proves that this fellow is a fool, purely seeking attention.

From the young man's facial expression and movements, it doesn't seem like the latter case.

Then, Wang Lin randomly picked a seat and sat down quietly waiting. At the same time, Zhang Meng, who had finished admiring the scenery around him, also followed suit and took a seat.

As time went by, with more and more people entering the hall under the guidance of staff, the frequency of opening the door decreased significantly as noon approached. Sometimes, for half an hour, no one came in at all.

Finally, it reached midday. A middle-aged man in a shirt and with a goatee slowly pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked in, casually locking the door behind him.

He looked around the entire hall, his face showing obvious surprise. After frowning and falling into deep thought for a moment, he opened his mouth and spoke:

"There are simply too many people here! From this moment on, only fifty people will be allowed to remain in this auditorium. The rest must be eliminated. Remember, you can harm others, but taking a life is absolutely forbidden."

"If anyone dares to make a move, they will be immediately expelled. Everyone, give it your all! Fight until the very end!"

After finishing his speech, the man stood calmly by the door, silent and still, waiting patiently for the top fifty to be announced.

All eyes met across the room, and a palpable tension filled the air. Faces grew grim as they began to nervously scrutinize each other.

For a moment, the hall was deathly silent. Not a single person dared to make a move. But just then, everyone heard that middle-aged man speak again.

"Oh, I almost forgot to tell you something. If there are still more than fifty people standing on the stage after half an hour, then everyone will be eliminated, and this year's Association Tournament will end early."

As soon as his words left his mouth, a shrill scream pierced the air. This was quickly followed by the sound of something heavy hitting the ground.

All eyes turned towards the source of the commotion. The young man who had been arrogant and boastful just moments ago was now grinning, kneading his fists, before pouncing on another person like a ferocious tiger.

Seeing this scene, the others no longer hesitated and quickly took action to clean up the site.

For a moment, the entire scene descended into utter chaos. Shouts and the clash of combat echoed through the heavens.

Zhang Meng, since he hadn't received an invitation to the Association Grand Competition, was politely escorted out of the hall by staff while he was still waiting.

Wang Lin stood alone in the corner. At that moment, someone saw him standing alone and immediately gathered two of his companions to surround him.

"I advise you to change your target, or the Grand Competition will be over." Wang Lin stood with his hands in his pockets, his bland words making the three of them furious.

"Who do you think you are! It's a three-on-one fight, the advantage is on my side! Get ready!"

The person who first took an interest in Wang Lin scoffed dismissively, then roared and lunged forward. The other two exchanged glances and also charged towards Wang Lin.

"Since you're all eager to die, don't blame me!" Wang Lin shook his head helplessly and put on a defensive stance.

The foremost person made contact with Wang Lin first. In just a blink of an eye, he was captured and thrown to the ground by Wang Lin. His right hand balled into a fist and retracted, aiming directly at the person's earlobe.

The other two saw this and panicked. They simultaneously struck out, one kicking towards Wang Lin's right shoulder and the other aiming for his head from the opposite side.

Wang Lin caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye and immediately retracted his fist. He rolled on the ground, then with a whirlwind kick around the pillar, used his hands to support himself and kicked upwards at someone's face with both feet.

The man reacted incredibly quickly, raising his arms to block the attack. But how could his arm strength compare to the power of legs With a resounding "bang," his feet struck his arms squarely in the face.

Blood gushed from his nose, and tears streamed uncontrollably from his eyes. Taking advantage of the man's retreat to wipe away his tears, Wang Lin rose to his feet in an instant, landing a powerful whip kick on his head.

That person immediately rolled their eyes back, falling straight to the ground. It only took a moment to take out one of them, while the other two just arrived at that time.

Wang Lin didn't have time to strike again. He sidestepped the incoming attack once more, then rolled to the ground, delivering a beautiful sweeping leg that hit another attacker. Immediately after, using his momentum, he unleashed a left tiger-tail hook.

At that moment, the person was still in mid-air, caught completely off guard by this rapid attack. Before they could react, their face was struck hard. Following that, Wang Lin endured a kick from the person behind him, using the force to lunge towards the person he had just sent flying.

A clean, powerful punch knocked him unconscious. Then, he turned to face the last man standing, who was the same person who had charged at Wang Lin first moments ago.

Only then did that person give Wang Lin a stunned look, then turned and ran away without hesitation.

Wang Lin saw this and immediately set off to chase after him, "Don't run away! Those two people were eliminated because of you, don't you want to go with them"wned slightly and slowly raised his head as if to reprimand them. However, when he saw Wang Lin standing before him, he stopped.He immediately changed to a fawning smile and hurriedly got up to greet...
