Chapter 225: Chapter 225: God-like Slaughter! (4 more updates)

Translator: 549690339

Many people outside were still arguing fiercely, but there were fewer and fewer people defending Lin Zhen. The glory of the once First Blood Hero had already dissipated, and the long period of inactivity had left people speechless.

On the contrary, more people were denouncing Lin Zhen. Since he wasn't from their own country and had obtained First Blood, causing them to be jealous, and now he had disappeared, if they didn't vent their anger on him, who else would they vent it on?

Just when very few people in Hua Xia were speaking up for Lin Zhen, the situation changed.

Lin Zhen Double Kill!

Lin Zhen Triple Kill!

Lin Zhen Pentakill!

The relatively quiet scrolling screen suddenly displayed so much information, causing the Hua Xia spectators to explode!

"Lin Zhen! You finally came out! Awesome!"

"Haha! So cool, a pentakill, the first pentakill, completed within a second, did Lin Zhen line up his opponents?"

"Don't come out and show off your shameful intellect. How can they be lined up? Can't Martial Artists retreat from the virtual world if they can't win? Would they still let you arrange them?"

Foreign Martial Artists were dumbfounded. Why hadn't Lin Zhen made any moves for a day? Suddenly, as night fell, he killed five people in a row.

This incident slapped the faces of those who denounced Lin Zhen hard.

But those who denounced Lin Zhen were not pushovers, either, and immediately found a flaw in Lin Zhen's pentakill.

The last person Lin Zhen killed was actually from Ice City.

Although the Martial Artists from the same country fought endlessly, and many people from the same country eliminated each other from the beginning of the qualifiers, Lin Zhen's move raised suspicions. Could it be that he specifically found someone to collude and perform in order to achieve this pentakill, and in the end, he couldn't find anyone else and had to use his compatriots as fillers?

It must be so, otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

So those who denounced Lin Zhen erupted again: "Look, Lin Zhen, in order to

achieve a pentakill, he even dragged his accomplices into it!"

"The European Union brothers have found the truth. This plan is too clumsy, easy to see through. I guess Lin Zhen must be desperate to become famous, and he doesn't care about anything else."

"What a despicable trick. I despise you vain Hua Xia people!"

"Where in the world can there be such a coincidence? Lin Zhen, you really take everyone in the world for fools. I'm from Tianfu Base City, and I look down on you."

"That's right, I represent the Southern Base City and despise your actions. You've brought shame to our country even overseas. Damn it, you might as well have just stayed hidden like a coward."

"Lin Zhen, keep up the good work! The Martial Artists of Capital Base City support you. You have to keep going and kill a few more to completely shut those foreigners up!"

"Don't be naive, Hua Xia Martial Artists. Lin Zhen probably couldn't find anyone willing to cooperate with him now. Didn't you see that his teammates were all dragged in?"

As these people were happily criticizing, a line of text suddenly scrolled across the big screen.

"Hua Xia Ice City Base City Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall War God Lin Zhen, kills

Russian Moscow War God XXX… A madman-like killing."

"Hua Xia Ice City Base City Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall War God Lin Zhen, kills

Russian Leningrad War God XXX… A demon-like killing!"

"Hua Xia Ice City Base City Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall War God Lin Zhen, kills

Indian New Delhi War God XXX… A devil-like killing!"

"Hua Xia Ice City Base City Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall War God Lin Zhen, kills

Brazilian Rio de Janeiro War God XXX… A pervert-like killing."

"Hua Xia Ice City Base City Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall War God Lin Zhen, kills American Miami War God XXX… A god-like killing."

Lin Zhen's continuous scrolling messages left the world speechless once again.

Inside the virtual world, Lin Zhen had completely erupted.

After killing five people in a row, Mario and the others finally realized they had been tricked by Lin Zhen.

Early on, he had seen through their ambush and instead of running away, turned the tables by striking first and catching them off guard, causing them to lose five people at once.

However, Mario wasn't worried. There were still 25 people left on their side, and the ones who died weren't their main force. Moreover, Lin Zhen had gained more Gemstone Fragments. If more people died later, and he killed Lin Zhen in the end, wouldn't he be able to rightfully get even more Gemstone Fragments?

So Mario didn't show himself right away but instead issued an order: "Attack! Everyone, attack and finish off Lin Zhen!"

The surrounding War Gods, unable to restrain themselves at the sight of the rich treasure aura emanating from Lin Zhen, rushed out like a swarm of bees upon hearing Mario's command.

Lin Zhen coldly sneered while holding his Tyrant Spear. As Thunder had said, there were no other experts here besides a Hall of Fame member. So, that was perfect. All the people here had more or less Gemstone Fragments on them, and he was about to have a big harvest.

With a push at the ground, Lin Zhen charged forward like a cannonball!

His Tyrant Spear turned into a straight line, his body forming a bow shape in mid-air, and the spear thrust forward!

Five War Gods rushed towards him head-on, three of them scattering like a fan, while the other two followed behind the one in the middle.

Lin Zhen ignored the two people on his left and right, suddenly accelerating and shaking off their encirclement. He launched a full-force attack on the three!

Compared to uncompressed Dantian energy, the power of tenfold compressed

Dantian enerzv was like the difference between heaven and earth. Lin Zhen

thrust his spear, the first person's shield was pierced. Their body seemed like paper, instantly killed with one thrust!

The spear penetrated, and the second person was caught off guard and stabbed to death as well!

With the Tyrant Spear being 3 meters long, it was more than enough to maintain its strength. Lin Zhen exerted force in his arms, and the third person was also pierced by the spear!

One spear, three kills!

Lin Zhen slapped the tail of the spear, and it passed through their bodies as he dashed behind them, pulling the spear out.

"Die, all of you!"

He flicked the spear again, and the storm-like spear light covered everything, leaving countless wounds on the four War Gods. Two were killed instantly, while the other two were convulsing, on the brink of death.

Several people surrounded Lin Zhen from other directions. He teleported directly behind the crowd and pointed the spear!

"Get me a hit! Hit! Hit!"

"Pft! Pft! Pft!"

Heads burst like watermelons, and three more War Gods fell to the ground.

Only at this moment did the people in front realize that Lin Zhen was already behind them. They turned their heads to look back, and Lin Zhen suddenly returned to the front, thrusting his spear once more!

Another three people were pierced through their throats, blood splattering everywhere. Their bodies disappeared, leaving only the gemstone fragments behind, which Lin Zhen collected.

"Hahaha! You clown-like things dared to ambush me. Well, today, you'll all stay here. None of you will escape!"

Lin Zhen began his terrifying killing spree. His body appeared randomly in the bushes. Every time he appeared, a War God would fall in a pool of blood. Gemstone fragments flew towards him, sometimes struggling to catch up with his teleportation speed.

A total of 24 War Gods ambushed Lin Zhen, but within a minute, 20 had fallen!

The remaining four War Gods were smart enough to run in four different directions as they realized they were no match for him.

Lin Zhen swooped to the east, solving one with a spear, then instantly teleported to the west and took out another!

The people running in the south and north had already gone far. Lin Zhen suddenly threw the Tyrant Spear in his hand, piercing the War God running to the south. The spear carried the body, colliding with the wall, and the War God died on the spot.

The War God running north thought he had escaped, but Lin Zhen stretched out his hand and the Golden Qi Beam, accompanied by Lightning Ion, instantly shot several hundred meters, hitting the back of his head.

The Golden Qi exited through his forehead before disappearing into the dark bushes. His body continued to run forward due to inertia, before finally collapsing on the grass, leaving only a few gemstone fragments floating in the air.

Lin Zhen raised his hand to collect the gemstone fragments and beckoned to retrieve the Tyrant Spear. Then, he looked into the darkness of the bushes:

"How long are you planning to hide, Hall of Fame member?"

By this time, the outside world was already dumbfounded by Lin Zhen's crazy performance.

Just two minutes ago, Lin Zhen's rank on the Kill List was barely around 20,000. Yet now, he had skyrocketed to first place!

He had now equaled Chris from the Sacred Martial Hall in Paris of the European Union, each having completed 30 kills, ranking joint first.

All of this had happened within two minutes. Prior to that, he only had one kill, and in just two minutes, he killed 29 people.

Those who accused Lin Zhen of faking his fights were speechless – this was not something that could be faked.

Worldwide, there were people from every Base City. Who would cooperate with a Hua Xia Martial Artist to such a degree? Unless everyone in the world had gone crazy.

Lin Zhen's support suddenly surged. Celebrations and bragging ensued, immediately suppressing those discrediting him.

In their eyes, there was no longer any flaw in Lin Zhen's performance. Who could kill 29 people in a row like that?

It took a while for the detractors to find a new point to criticize.

"Hasn't anyone noticed that all Lin Zhen killed were nobodies? Besides Adolf, whom he probably killed in an ambush, there were no real experts."

This immediately gained the response of numerous Lin Zhen haters. Many people began verifying who Lin Zhen killed and how useless they were. After all, most of the participating War Gods were familiar faces. The examples these people gave were true.

For example, Shen Yuhua from Ice City stepped out to say: "I'm a disgrace and brought disgrace to Hua Xia by being the second one eliminated. I still want to say that Lin Zhen killed rookies. Like Lei Ming, who is similar to me, they were trivial, not having their Dantian energy compressed even once. They purely went in to make up the numbers. Lin Zhen killing such people is not worth boasting about. He's just an expert at bullying the weak."

Although Shen Yuhua was notorious in Hua Xia, foreigners had found their reason to discredit Lin Zhen as an "expert at bullying the weak."

Just as they were about to launch a wave of criticism, the big screen began scrolling text.

"Hua Xia Ice City Base City's Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall War God Lin Zhen kills

U.S.. Seattle War God Mario (Hall of Fame) – a godlike slaughter!"

Chapter 226: Chapter 226: She Comes from Paris

Translator: 549690339

Foreigners who disliked Lin Zhen were on the verge of tears.

Was Lin Zhen specifically here to slap them in the face?

They said that the Hua Xia representatives might be eliminated first, but Lin Zhen eliminated Adolf, one of Sand Russia's three warriors, obtaining First

Blood and successfully slapping Sand Russia in the face for their prior insult.

They then accused Lin Zhen of hiding like a timid turtle, but Lin Zhen suddenly had a massive breakout, achieving god-like kills and tying with Chris for the first place on the leaderboard.

After being scolded by Lin's fans, those who disliked him finally found a reason to criticize him — Lin Zhen only knew how to bully the weak. However, they ended up being slapped in the face again.

This time, the one he bullied was definitely not weak. Mario from Seattle is very famous, a Level Nine War God and a Spiritual Mind Master. By killing him, Lin Zhen even left Chris behind, claiming the first place on the leaderboard.

More importantly, Mario had three Middle Grade Star Artifacts — a Middle Grade Spiritual Defense Star Artifact, a Middle Grade Star Armor, and a Middle Grade Star Long Knife.

With these three Star Artifacts in hand, Mario was nearly invincible. Yet, he was still defeated by Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen, a nobody, defeated the second Hall of Fame member in the virtual world.

This time, the people of the United States were slapped in the face, and they

tirmly remembered Lin Zhen, the young man trom Hua Xia.

Lin Zhen was only twenty years old, one of the youngest participants.

In this War God's Knockout, there were only three participants who were under twenty years old. One of them was Lin Zhen, another was Su Mingyue, and the last one was Chris from the European Union.

Chris had already proven her strength in battle, while Su Mingyue was an exception as the Saintess, so no one wanted her to kill without restraint.

Of course, no one dared to criticize Su Mingyue. They would definitely be annihilated by her fans.

Seeing Lin Zhen's incredible performance now, people all over the world began to wonder if all War Gods who reached this level at the age of twenty were this crazy.

As for Shen Yuhua and Lei Ming, they were one or two years older than Lin

Zhen. Even if they were twenty, no one would care about these fake War Gods.

At this moment, the number of Lin Zhen's fans skyrocketed by hundreds of millions, and the internet was full of praise. Those who disliked him were completely silent, unable to find any more faults in Lin Zhen.

There were still some people who sourly said that killing ten thousand people would be useless unless he advanced to the next round. They were looking forward to Lin Zhen being eliminated, as that would be their celebration.

However, no one dared to hold much hope for that. Seeing Lin Zhen's strong performance, it was almost impossible for him not to advance.

Some people hoped that a more powerful Hall of Fame member would join and eliminate Lin Zhen. This seemed to be the only hope they had.

Inside the virtual world, Lin Zhen retrieved the liquid metal long spear from Mario's body.

As expected, Hall of Fame members had extraordinary abilities. Facing Lin Zhen, Mario displayed his strength as a Hall of Fame member.

This man had a Middle Grade Spiritual Defense Star Artifact on him, as well as a Lower Grade Star Armor and a Middle Grade Star Long Knife. He fearlessly engaged in a battle with Lin Zhen.

Moreover, he was also a Spiritual Mind Master at the Dark Gold Early Stage. Prepared, Lin Zhen's Mental Shock couldn't deal much damage to him. This man's fighting spirit was extremely resolute, clashing with Lin Zhen without losing ground.

Having a Middle Grade Spiritual Defense Star Artifact, Lin Zhen's several teleportations were disrupted by Mario, who even gained the upper hand for a while.

Seeing that this was not going well, Lin Zhen decisively changed his approach. After several unsuccessful stabs with the Tyrant Spear, he thought Mario had the upper hand. Lin Zhen decisively used the liquid metal, suddenly switched to another spear, pierced the Star Device Armor, and defeated Mario.

Mario never dreamt that Lin Zhen could suddenly switch spears. The Lower

Grade Star Armor could not withstand the attack of the High Grade Celestial Device, so he fell with just one strike and died, eliminating him from the competition.

Lin Zhen won and took a deep breath of relief.

With the popularization of Star Artifacts, Hall of Fame members had excellent equipment. Middle Grade spiritual defense star devices could effectively resist Lin Zhen's Mental Shock.

Even if equipped with Lower Grade Star Artifacts, it would be difficult for Lin Zhen's Mental Shock to defeat the opponent in one blow if they were also a Spiritual Mind Master. They would need to spend a lot of effort.

In the end, it all came down to sheer power. Lin Zhen realized his current strength through this battle.

As a Fifth Level War God, he had no difficulty dealing with ordinary Primary and Intermediate War Gods. He could easily defeat an ordinary Advanced War God.

Only those Advanced War Gods who had compressed their Dantian energy several times and also had Spiritual Defense Star Artifacts would he T.in Zhen's

true opponents.

Especially Hall of Fame members who were just over a hundred people from around the world, Lin Zhen's strength among them was not outstanding, only average or below.

Fortunately, Lin Zhen still has time, as it's only the preliminary round now. If he can make it through the preliminaries, he will have three months to train before the knockout round, which will decide who the king of the platform is.

When Mario died, a large number of gemstone fragments flew out and landed on Lin Zhen.

After counting his spoils from the battle, Lin Zhen was overjoyed.

He now had a total of 210 red gemstone fragments and 30 blue gemstone fragments, totaling 240 pieces.

His gains from this battle were even more than a day of sweeping and weeding.

"Twenty-one lower-grade star artifacts and three middle-grade star artifacts; this time's harvest is not small. It's just a pity that there aren't many yellow gemstone fragments here. If I want to get high-grade star artifact fragments, I must go to the Flower Sea."

Although Lin Zhen's consumption was not small, the power of Radiance was still quickly restoring his Dantian Qi, so he didn't need much rest. He went directly through the gap in the fence and entered the Flower Sea.

In the Flower Sea, a cherry blossom was in full bloom, and two women were resting on the flower.

The first one had golden hair, a sexy, eye-catching figure, and ocean-blue eyes, she was Alice.

Next to Alice was another woman, also with golden hair, wearing a metal mask that covered most of her face, leaving only sapphire-like eyes and luscious red lips. Her skin appeared to be that of an Easterner, particularly white.

Although only half of her face was exposed, the delicacy and curvature of her face seemed to surpass Alice's, possessing the softness of an Eastern beauty and the stunning attractiveness of a Western woman. It made people eager to explore the truth beneath the mask.

"Miss, there's something stuck on your hair."

Alice reached out and removed a bit of debris from the hair of the person called "Miss."

"Oh, I didn't feel it…" Miss adjusted her golden hair.

"I never thought I would meet you here in the Flower Sea, Miss. You are truly amazing, ranking first on the Killing List. I admire you to death!" Alice looked at Miss with stars in her eyes.

Miss, known as Chris, hail from Base City in Paris. Hearing Alice's words, her beautiful red lips curled slightly: "It's alright, I've also given it my all. People like Huo Luofu probably haven't put in their full effort yet." "I think you have the strength to fight Huo Luofu."

"It's difficult. Huo Luofu can single-handedly kill S-level Mutated Beasts, which is something I can't do right now." Chris shook her head slightly.

"That's because you are still young, Miss. When you reach Huo Luofu's age, your achievements will definitely surpass his. I have never seen a Martial Artist with more talent than you."

Chris smiled: "There are too many talented Martial Artists, and I am not the only young one. For example, the Divine Sect Saintess Su Mingyue, her potential is absolutely strong."

Hearing this, Alice hesitated: "Miss, I think you are paying too much attention to Su Mingyue. Indeed, Su Mingyue is a rare genius, but you shouldn't belittle yourself. You are now a Dark Gold Stage Spiritual Mind Master, a natural Divine Speedster, and in the London God Generals Training Camp, you completed the Nine Layers Compression in two years and advanced to the Fifth-level War God in less than a year. I think you are the most outstanding genius."

"The definition of a genius is not that simple. I didn't know I had this potential before, and I didn't want to lose to anyone, including Su Mingyue," Miss said. "Miss, you haven't lost to her. Your talents should be similar, and Su Mingyue is merely…in the words of Easterners, the most bewitching vixen. Although I haven't seen your true face, I think you must be no worse than her," Alice consoled her.

"Hehe, if I go with what you said, then I've become a vixen too, right?"

"Oh! No! Miss, I didn't mean that. I mean…sometimes a vixen is not a derogatory term," Alice explained clumsily.

"I understand. Just like you said, I do pay attention to her…l guess. From a woman's perspective, she indeed deserves the attention," Chris did not deny it.

Alice saw that Miss did not seem very happy, so she didn't continue the topic and casually looked at the virtual system.

"Ah! Miss, you have been surpassed!"

"Really? Was it Huo Luofu who surpassed me? Or Ai Er?" Chris asked.

"Neither. It's an Easterner named Lin Zhen," Alice answered hesitantly.

Chris was stunned: "Is it him? The person from Ice City who went on a mission privately with you and Hansen?"

"It should be. If there's no other Ice City War God with the same name, and besides, he's so young, seemingly of a similar age to Miss. People like that are rare."

Chris was stunned for a while, and it took her a long time to say: "Another 20-year-old genius. But I won't lose to you, be it you or Su Mingyue.."

Chapter 227: Chapter 227: Battle for the Yellow Gemstone

Translator: 549690339

The spring breeze in the night gradually grew stronger, and the fine spring rain fell in the Heavenly Garden, making the night even darker.

At this time, anyone with gemstone fragments emitting a treasure light on their body wouldn't dare to walk in the dark night, because they would certainly become the target of others' hunts.

Lin Zhen climbed onto a tall peony, and found a blue gemstone fragment in the stamen.

"Phew! I thought there would be many gemstone fragments in the garden, but we can't just knock down the flowers indiscriminately. The searching speed is not even as fast as in the grassland."

In such a situation, Lin Zhen naturally could not be as unbridled as in the grassland, and the searching speed for the gemstones became slower and slower.

Moreover, in the night, the sound of fighting could still be heard from afar. The night rain couldn't curb the War Gods' enthusiasm to search for gemstone fragments, and battles occurred from time to time.

Leaning on the petals and looking at the night sky, a scream came from a distance.

"Someone died again, quite lively fight."

He closed his eyes and dozed off, not knowing how much time had passed, and felt that someone climbed up to the other side of the peony flower.

As Lin Zhen opened his eyes, the Tyrant Spear immediately attacked!

The person on the other side was also very alert, both of them shot almost at the same time. Lin Zhen's Tyrant Spear collided with the opponent's long sword, and after a crisp sound, they both felt that the opponent was tough, and they took a step back.

"Lin Zhen?" The person on the other side spoke.

"You are… Duo Long?" Lin Zhen also saw the opponent. He had seen him in

promotional posters, the War God Duo Long from the Ice City Chang Feng.

Lin Zhen was still somewhat vigilant towards the Long Wind Martial Arts Academy, Duo Long was one of Chang Feng's people, and a member of the Hall of Fame, so Lin Zhen needed to be on guard against him possibly making a move against him.

Especially with the rich treasure light on Lin Zhen's body, he was more likely to become the target of others' attacks.

Duo Long's treasure light was also quite splendid. Seeing Lin Zhen's defensive action, he hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't fight, we are both Hua Xia people, there are foreigners everywhere here, we shouldn't kill each other."

Lin Zhen looked at Duo Long's tone and sensed some sincerity. He slowly put down the Tyrant Spear: "If that's the case, it's best."

He glanced at the treasure light on Duo Long's body and said, "You haven't got the Yellow Gemstone Fragments either?"

Just like himself, the light on Duo Long's body was also red and blue.

"No, these Yellow Gemstone Fragments are really hard to find. I've encountered many people, and none of them got a Yellow Gemstone." Duo Long sat down.

"I think they should be in a more dangerous place." Lin Zhen said.

"They should be. But it will be dawn soon, and if we still haven't obtained a Yellow Gemstone in the summer, we will have to leave. In the autumn, we must reach the creek, otherwise, we may not be able to get the promotion seat." Duo Long said.

Lin Zhen nodded, agreeing with Duo Long's words.

Duo Long hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Lin Zhen, we are not familiar with each other, but there is something I want to ask you."

"Please speak."

"Some people say that your girlfriend is Su Mingyue, the Saintess of the Divine Sect, is this true?"

Lin Zhen glanced at Duo Long, feeling that he seemed to have no malice. There was nothing shameful about this matter, so he nodded, "Yes."

"Well, I really envy you. But Lin Zhen, I also grew up in Ice City since I was young, and I'm several years older than you. When I was young, I was sponsored by An Group, so I know An Ning, the young lady of An family, and I also know some stories about you."

"An Ning! Where is she?" Lin Zhen hadn't seen An Ning for a long time, and he didn't even know her current situation. Hearing news about An Ning all of sudden, he was surprised and happy.

Duo Long shook his head, "I don't know where An Ning has gone. She has left Ice City for three years, and the An family has kept her whereabouts a secret, and never told anyone. However… "

Duo Long paused for a moment, Lin Zhen took a deep breath, "Please tell me where she is."

"What's the point of telling you? You already have Su Mingyue." Duo Long opened his mouth indifferently.

Lin Zhen looked up at the night sky, "I never said I would give up on An Ning.

Even if you don't tell me, I will find her sooner or later."

"You mean… do you still like An Ning?" Duo Long asked tentatively.

"No comment. If you're willing to say it, then say it. If you're unwilling, then leave. I will find her even if it's the ends of the earth." Lin Zhen closed his eyes.

"Fine, it seems that you still like her." Duo Long sighed helplessly, "Then I'll tell you. Before the War God's Knockout started, I went to the An Group and accidentally heard someone say that their young lady had returned. I paid close attention and indeed saw An Ning."

"Did you really see her?" Lin Zhen opened his eyes in an instant.

"Of course, but after not seeing her for three years, An Ning is already a War God. I have a feeling that if we actually fought, I might not even be her opponent."

"An Ning has become a War God? She has returned? But why hasn't she made an appearance?"

"I don't know about that. I originally thought she would participate in the War God's Knockout. I also checked all the people who signed up for the competition in Ice City, and there was no An Ning's name among them. This matter is a bit strange.

Duo Long said this, and then jumped down from the flower, "That's all I Imow, maybe you two still have a chance to meet. I'm leaving."

Duo Long's figure disappeared into the darkness, but Lin Zhen remained seated and motionless.

In that case, the person who left a message for him in the publicity area of Dongcheng District should be An Ning, but where is she?

Lin Zhen never expected An Ning to become so powerful that even a Hall of Fame's War God like Duo Long felt that he was not a match for her. What had she experienced these past few years?

Lin Zhen closed his eyes and quietly adjusted his breath while meditating.

After a night of wind and rain, the morning sun rose in the east. Summer had arrived.

Lin Zhen looked at the sea of flowers and felt that the moment the sunlight shone, there was a golden glow in the distance.

"Yellow Gemstone!"

Lin Zhen jumped up abruptly, rushing towards the place where the golden light was shining.

Not only Lin Zhen saw it. Many other War Gods from other places saw it too, and they all came out of their hiding spots, quickly running through the sea of flowers.

About twenty minutes later, Lin Zhen arrived at the place where the golden light was shining.

When he arrived, there were already quite a few people there, all looking up into the sky.

Lin Zhen also looked up, and finally figured out where the yellow gemstone was.

A sunflower with a trunk thick enough for dozens of people to hug stood tall in the sky. The giant flower head facing the sun occasionally emitted a golden glow, which was the Yellow Gemstone Fragment.

"Sunflower! It's a sunflower! So the yellow gemstone is born from bathing in sunlight, and sunflowers are the place that receives the most sunlight. There are yellow gemstones there!"

The martial artists were getting restless. Ten yellow gemstone fragments were equivalent to a High-Grade Celestial Device, and even if they couldn't collect ten fragments, a single fragment was worth a billion. If they could get one, it would be worth coming to the Heavenly Garden this time.

Some War Gods couldn't help themselves and wanted to pluck the Yellow Gemstone.

Since the Heavenly Garden prohibited flying, they could only climb up to reach higher altitudes.

Two War Gods arrived earlier and were already climbing the trunk, but the people below thought they might get the majority of the gemstones. These two suddenly screamed and fell from the trunk.

Both of them were covered in black, and before they hit the ground, they turned into a flash of light and disappeared.

"The trunk of the sunflower is covered with caterpillars!"

Someone shouted, and everyone saw that there were many gigantic caterpillars crawling on the trunk, slowly moving upwards.

Each of these caterpillars was as big as a yacht, covered in black and yellow bristles that seemed to contain deadly poison, making people shudder at the sight.

With such large and poisonous creatures, and in such great numbers, the trunk was definitely not a viable path.

People's eyes then fell on the surrounding morning glory vines.

Because sunflowers grow very tall, they were almost the tallest plant in the

Heavenly Garden. Many morning glories attached themselves to the

sunflowers, forming several green passages around them.

"What are we waiting for? Go!"

A War God from the African Union took the lead to climb a vine and quickly moved upwards.

As he did so, many others followed suit.

Around this sunflower, there were more than a dozen vines hanging over it. Hundreds of War Gods rushed out of the surrounding area to find nearby vines to climb.

Just as the War God from the African Union climbed up and passed a morning glory flower, the huge bell-like mouth of the morning glory suddenly bit down like a giant mouth.

The African Union War God didn't have time to dodge and was instantly swallowed by the morning glory.

A white light flashed, and the War God was eliminated from the competition. A few gemstone fragments fell, most of them red, and a few blue ones.

Instead of retreating because of his death, the War Gods behind him believed they could still avoid the morning glory flowers. Besides, the shiny yellow gemstones already aroused the deep desires in their hearts, and they continued to move forward one after another.

Lin Zhen also made his move, first flying upward to a height of about ten meters, and then quickly climbing to catch up with the last person. Then he teleported!

The higher they went, the less effective the teleportation would be. Lin Zhen's teleportation covered only ten meters.

Teleport again!

After another seven or eight meters, Lin Zhen finally surpassed the other War Gods who were ahead.

He couldn't teleport in the restricted airspace anymore, so Lin Zhen began to climb quickly.

A Brazilian War God behind him roared. He was initially in the first place, but he couldn't accept being suddenly overtaken by Lin Zhen. He pulled out a long knife and was about to attack Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen suddenly turned his hand, and countless flashes of lightning surged. The energy ball ruthlessly rolled down, knocking the Brazilian War God off the vine!

Not only Lin Zhen did this, but many other powerful War Gods also started to clear out their competitors.

One after another, weaker War Gods were knocked down by them. The battle for the yellow gemstones on this sunflower was a battlefield only for the strong..

Translator: 549690339

The height of the sunflower was hundreds of meters, and Lin Zhen had cleared away the competitors behind him, quickly advancing, and soon he was near the top of the sunflower.

When he reached the top, he gradually saw the people climbing up from the other vines.

He took a rough look, and almost all of them were elite war gods.

Elite war gods are those who have compressed their Dantian energy at the peak of the War General realm. War gods without this compression are not competitive here, even if they are Level 9 war gods.

Among the twelve vines, apart from Lin Zhen, there were even three members

from the Hall of Fame among the other eleven people.

A war god named Aroldo from Brazil, a Hall of Fame member.

A war god named Gisent from the African Union, a Hall of Fame member.

Lastly was Lin Zhen's old acquaintance, Tong Yuehu from the Ice City Wind Martial Arts Pavilion.

Twelve people occupied various positions, and the fragments of the yellow gemstones were in the central part of the sunflower.

The flower disk was incredibly huge, almost half the size of a football field, but this distance was not considered much in the eyes of the War Gods.

Almost everyone made a move at the same time, not running toward the center of the sunflower, but attacking the people around them. Lin Zhen did the same, his Tyrant Spear fiercely striking out!

A war god from the United States also wanted to attack Lin Zhen, but was completely defeated by Lin Zhen's speed, and was killed by Lin Zhen's spear!

A pile of gemstone fragments flew over, Lin Zhen grabbed them all, suddenly turned his head, and a continuous series of Storm and Long River attacks followed. Another European Union war god fell under Lin Zhen's spear.

Hall of Fame members also demonstrated their strength. Including Lin Zhen and the other three Hall of Fame members, each of them killed two other elite war gods. In an instant, there were only four people left out of the twelve.

After clearing away eight people, Gisent spoke up.

"Aroldo, these two are from Ice City. We need to work together to defeat them; don't give them the chance to beat us one by one."

Aroldo immediately arrived at Gisent's side. He didn't believe Gisent would dare attack him at this time, as if he were eliminated, Gisent would definitely struggle to face the joint attack of the two Ice City war gods.

The two of them formed an alliance in an instant, and their first move was to attack Lin Zhen.

In their view, Tong Yuehu was a Level 9 war god and a member of the Hall of Fame, so he would not be easy to deal with. Lin Zhen, on the other hand, was only a fifth-level war god, and even though his displayed strength was strong, he should still be taken down due to his lower level.

Lin Zhen was not a Hall of Fame member and had not been heavily promoted, so they did not recognize him. The two of them rushed towards Lin Zhen quickly, worried that Tong Yuehu would help Lin Zhen from the rear.

However, Tong Yuehu had no intention of helping Lin Zhen. In fact, if it weren't for the faint golden light of the yellow gemstones in the central part of the sunflower, he would have wanted to team up with the other two war gods to attack Lin Zhen.

Hahaha! Lin Zhen, let these two foreigners entertain you, so I won't bother dealing with you today. I'm going to get my hands on those yellow gemstones."

Tong Yuehu saw Lin Zhen caught in the pincer attack between the two Hall of Fame members, laughed loudly, and walked directly towards the center of the sunflower.

The yellow gemstones were located inside the sunflower seeds, and their golden light shone through the seeds. But they were not easy to collect.

The sunflower seeds on the flower disk were slightly taller than humans, at over two meters, and were closely packed together. To get to the center, it was impossible to make a detour between the seeds; one had to carefully walk on the very small pointed ends of the seeds.

Since the sunflower was in the air and they couldn't fly, and it was also gently swaying, crossing the football-field-sized sunflower seed array was not easy.

On this side, the battle between Lin Zhen and the two war gods was already underway. Seeing Tong Yuehu going for the yellow gemstones, Lin Zhen was anxious in his heart, but he didn't show it, and continued to fight the two war gods with all his might. With his immovable like a mountain style, he was always at a disadvantage, but it wasn't easy for the opponents to take him down either.

Seeing that Tong Yuehu had not helped Lin Zhen and had gone straight for the gemstone fragments, Aroldo and Gisent became anxious. Gisent thought Lin Zhen didn't seem verv Dowerful. iust that his defense was strong. and said to

Aroldo: "You hold him back, I'm going to deal with Tong Yuehu!" "Alright, I'll quickly take care of this brat!" Aroldo patted his chest and guaranteed.

Gisent immediately left the melee and charged directly at Tong Yuehu.

Tong Yuehu had just tiptoed across a few sunflower seeds when he saw Gisent coming after him, and he immediately shouted angrily, "Lin Zhen, you deliberately let him off!"

"What do you mean 'let him off'? Why should you be the one to collect the yellow gemstone fragments? Let's be fair and let everyone have one!"

Seeing Gisent had left, Lin Zhen suddenly started exerting his strength!

He shot out an energy ball with one hand, catching Aroldo off guard. Lin Zhen followed up with a Mental Shock and a continuous barrage of Storm and Long

River combination spear techniques, eliminating Aroldo from the competition!

After killing Aroldo, Lin Zhen no longer paid attention to the battle between Tong Yuehu and Gisent and began to figure out how to get closer to the center of the sunflowers.

Seeing Lin Zhen imitating his own tactics, Tong Yuehu suddenly became anxious and did not care about hiding his strength. A flash of light appeared on his body, and a Middle Grade Star Artifact longsword and armor emerged. He used his trump card.

The strength of Gisent was not very strong, and under the relentless attack of Tong Yuehu, he could no longer resist and was eliminated by Tong Yuehu.

However, Gisent's last counterattack before his death also injured Tong Yuehu's shoulder. Undeterred by the injury, Tong Yuehu pointed his longsword at Lin Zhen and spoke with an air of authority: "Lin Zhen, it's just you and me now. You won't get a single Yellow Gemstone here, let's settle this!"

Lin Zhen did not immediately fight Tong Yuehu, but looked behind him, where there was a flowering vine, which could easily be attacked if someone climbed up from below.

Lin Zhen stepped back a few steps: "Tong Yuehu, although I have recently become a War God, I have never really considered you a threat. If you insist on seeking death, I will grant you that today."

"Pah! I was able to kick you out of Gale, and today I can eliminate you just the same, Lin Zhen! I, Tong Yuehu, am a nightmare that you will never escape for the rest of your life! I will forever crush you, hahaha!"

Tong Yuehu purposely taunted Lin Zhen loudly, hoping to throw him off balance, but before he could finish speaking, the sunflower suddenly swayed, and another War God jumped onto it.

Tong Yuehu quickly turned his head, slashing his longsword down with the force of a mountain as he shouted, "Hall of Fame members are here! Get lost, all of you miscellaneous people!"

With a Middle Grade Star Artifact longsword, a Level Nine War God, and a Dantian Qi compressed six times, Tong Yuehu's strength could not be considered top-notch, but it was definitely not weak. In fact, he had not encountered any real opponents in the Heavenly Garden.

However, the one he had just encountered was quite formidable!

The person in front of him was tall and burly, like a robust polar bear. Seeing Tong Yuehu's longsword slashing towards him, he grinned mischievously:

"Hehe! Leader of the Hua Xia Ice City Gale, you're quite the prey."

From afar, Lin Zhen clearly saw the situation of the two fighting.

Tong Yuehu's swift and fierce sword strike began to slow down as it approached the man, becoming slower and slower.

It was as if he was carrying a mountain on his back, making it difficult for Tong Yuehu to even stand up straight. As the longsword reached the man's chest, the tip of the sword touched the ground, barely moving forward, his face filled with disbelief.

Then the man stretched out his huge hand, grabbed Tong Yuehu's neck, and lifted him up like a chicken, a cruel grin on his face.

Whoosh!

Another person jumped onto the sunflower beside them.

These two people Lin Zhen had seen before, their images had appeared on posters. The latter was Lanslow from Leningrad Base City, one of Sand Russia's three bravest warriors.

And the man who was holding Tong Yuehu's neck was none other than Huo Luofu, the so-called Northern War God, from St. Petersburg Base City!

He was the champion of the previous War God's Knockout!

Huo Luofu held Tong Yuehu's neck with one hand, lifting him into the air as he struggled in vain.

Tong Yuehu's longsword had already been discarded, and his hands clutched desperately at Huo Luofu's hand, his face pale and his tongue sticking out. He kicked and twisted his legs continuously, but he couldn't move the giant palm at all.

Standing beside Huo Luofu, Lanslow was also nearly two meters tall, but he looked like a child next to Huo Luofu. Huo Luofu's height was definitely more than two meters and thirty centimeters, making him look like a small mountain when standing there.

Lanslow chuckled at Tong Yuehu: "Stop struggling in vain, Huo Luofu has innate divine power, not ordinary divine power, but an Innate Power King! And his strength has been enhanced. Although he is not a Spiritual Mind Master, his Spiritual Consciousness Sea has mutated and can resist any mental attack. Any Spiritual Mind Master in front of him is rubbish. Let alone you, he has even killed S-level Mutated Polar Bears. Is your struggle useful?"

These words were not only said for Tong Yuehu, but also for Lin Zhen, because although Huo Luofu was holding Tong Yuehu, his eyes were fixed on Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen's face remained calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

An Innate Power King!

A mutated Spiritual Consciousness Sea!

These two things actually happened to the same person. Huo Luofu was indeed extraordinarily talented.

If it is said that there is one innate power being among ten thousand martial artists, then there would only be one Power King among ten thousand innate power beings.

A one in a billion chance to give birth to a Power King, how many martial artists are there in the world?

The current world population does not exceed 2 billion, and the proportion of martial artists is about one-tenth or even lower. That is to say, there are no more than 200 million martial artists worldwide.

Power Kings, there are at most two in the world, and maybe it's just this one in front of them!

Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Tong Yuehu Eliminated! (3 updates)

Translator: 549690339

What's even rarer is that Huo Luofu is a spiritual consciousness sea mutant.

The so-called spiritual consciousness sea mutation refers to the fact that the spiritual consciousness sea has been seriously stimulated or damaged, making it impossible for the person to become a spiritual mind master in this lifetime.

For most people, this is a disaster, but some people benefit from it because of their mutations.

This mutation causes their mental power to congeal, making it impossible for them to ever become spiritual mind masters. At the same time, they are forever immune to mental attacks.

Even if Lin Zhen is now in the late stage of Dark Gold, his mental shock would hardly have any effect on Huo Luofu's consciousness sea.

A Level Nine War God, born with the power of a king, who has also specifically enhanced his strength, combined with spiritual power mutations, this man is like a humanoid tank with almost no weaknesses.

One might say that speed is his weakness, but when Tong Yuehu attacked him earlier, he couldn't even touch Huo before he was completely immobilized, and this ability made Lin Zhen more cautious.

Moreover, Lin Zhen's observation showed that Huo Luofu's Dantian qi compression was also very strong, similar to Su Mingyue's level, both being Level Nine Compression.

With someone like that, it's no wonder that Tong Yuehu couldn't resist and was directly grabbed by the neck like a baby by his opponent.

Tong Yuehu tried to struggle at first, but seeing no chance to escape, he wanted to give up on his own accord. At least committing suicide was better than being killed by others and losing face in public.

But Huo Luofu was no ordinary person. Sensing Tong Yuehu giving up on struggling, he knew that Tong was about to give up, and suddenly exerted force with one hand.

"Heh heh! Thinking of committing suicide in my Huo Luofu's hands is an insult to me. Goodbye, Martial Artist of Hua Xia. You're nothing special."

"Bang!"

With a single exertion of force from Huo Luofu, Tong Yuehu's head and neck were actually crushed by his grip!

In an instant, blood and brain matter splattered before turning into points of light, Tong Yuehu's body disappeared in the Heavenly Garden, leaving behind only red and blue gemstones that had been on him.

Outside the virtual world, turmoil erupted!

As it entered the second day of the virtual world, the number of War Gods inside had decreased rapidly. From more than 30,000 War Gods, over half were gone, leaving less than 13,000.

Lin Zhen was still ranked first in the kill list, having killed 41 people now.

However, his first place was constantly being threatened as there were over a dozen people in the first group who had killed more than 30 people and could replace Lin Zhen at any time.

But now, no one dared to criticize Lin Zhen, fearing being slapped in the face, and those critics were holding their breaths, praying to gods and worshipping Buddha for Lin Zhen to be eliminated.

At this point, a series of prompts flashed on the big screen.

"Hua Xia Ice City Base City Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall War God Lin Zhen, kills Brazilian Rio de Janeiro Base City War God Aroldo (Hall of Fame)…"

"Hua Xia Ice City Base City Gale Martial Arts Hall Tong Yuehu, kills African Union Cairo War God Gisent (Hall of Fame)…"

Before, there had been fierce battles where Lin Zhen and Tong Yuehu eliminated some people, but there were no members of the Hall of Fame among them.

Now, people were no longer interested in those who didn't kill Hall of Fame members. The simultaneous elimination of two Hall of Famers caught people's attention.

"Oh! Did Lin Zhen and Tong Yuehu join forces? Based on the previous performance of Gisent and the others, they should all be in the same place, and now they have been eliminated by Lin Zhen and his people."

"That shouldn't be the case. Isn't Lin Zhen incompatible with Tong Yuehu? How could they join forces to fight the enemy?"

"Hard to say. For the sake of interests, those martial artists are capable of anything. One moment they are enemies, the next they could be friends." "They are all principle-less and shameless things. Lin Zhen is nothing more than that."

For those "Lin Black" opinions, Lin Mi and the others didn't care too much, as those were just baseless speculations. Aside from whether Lin Zhen could advance, nothing else was an issue.

After talking for a while, the "Lin Black" found it meaningless, as Lin Zhen's advancement seemed unstoppable.

At this moment, the big screen rolled out the information again.

"Russian St. Petersburg War God Huo Luofu, kills Hua Xia Ice City Gale War God Tong Yuehu (Hall of Fame)!"

As soon as this news came out, the world was shocked!

Huo Luofu had finally taken action against Hua Xia martial artists again. Although Huo Luofu had killed many Hua Xia War Gods before, none of them were Hall of Famers. This was the first one.

When he made a move, he killed a Level Nine War God and the head of Ice City Gale!

There was also an important point – Tong Yuehu had been with Lin Zhen. If Tong Yuehu was dead, could Lin Zhen still survive?

People immediately reached a consensus: Lin Zhen would be eliminated! Even if he were stronger and more powerful, facing Huo Luofu would definitely be a dead end!

Instantly, cheers erupted on the internet.

"Lin Zhen is done for! He's going to die this time!"

"Hahaha! Lin Zhen, keep being arrogant. I bet you won't last three minutes." "Three minutes is overestimating him. I bet he won't last even one minute."

"One minute might be possible. Lin Zhen seems to be pretty fast. The only question now is whether Lin Zhen is really with Tong Yuehu."

Immediately, countless people began searching for Tong Yuehu online.

After being eliminated, Tong Yuehu was so angry that he made excuses for his elimination. He quickly logged onto the internet and posted a message.

"During the Virtual Sunflower Battle, I teamed up with Lin Zhen, and we eliminated the two War Gods, Gisent and Aroldo. I believe that everyone saw this. But when we faced Huo Luofu and Lanslow, Lin Zhen actually backed down. I was defeated after a tough battle, and Lin Zhen acted despicably and shortsightedly. He wanted to use the hands of his enemies to eliminate me. But have you ever thought about how long he would last after I got eliminated? Lin Zhen will soon follow in my footsteps. I, Tong Yuehu, will wait for him to be eliminated!"

The purpose of Tong Yuehu's post was to make excuses for his own elimination, after all, facing Huo Luofu, Lanslow, and two Hall of Fame members, his failure was not surprising.

Besides, he wanted to blacken Lin Zhen's name. In his view, Lin Zhen would also be eliminated soon, which would verify his words. This would give more ammunition to Lin Zhen's detractors and allow them to freely attack him.

Given Tong Yuehu's status, he was the leader of the Ice City and a Hua Xia person, so his words had a high credibility.

The sparks ignited, and countless posts flooded the internet. Those questioning Lin Zhen were less than one percent, while the majority were attacking him.

Of course, there were also people defending Lin Zhen, mostly Hua Xia Martial Artists. Lin Zhen's outstanding performance and his donation in the Capital won many hearts, so Hua Xia Martial Artists fought back vigorously.

"Stop shamelessly defending Lin Zhen. He has betrayed his teammates more than once. Last time it was Lei Ming, this time it's Tong Yuehu. Aren't they both from Ice City?"

"You foreigners don't know anything. Lei Ming had fought with Lin Zhen, and

Tong Yuehu was the one who kicked Lin Zhen out of Gale Martial Arts Hall. Lin Zhen would never team up with either of them. I believe in Lin Zhen."

"I believe in Lin Zhen too!"

"No use in stubbornly defending him. Tong Yuehu has already spoken, let's just wait for Lin Zhen to be eliminated. I wonder what you'll say then." "Huo Luofu, the invincible War God, crush Lin Zhen's head!"

"It's best to completely cripple Lin Zhen. After he's eliminated from the preliminaries, let's see if the Saintess will still like this useless guy." "The one above is farting. The Saintess doesn't like Lin Zhen, she's mine."

An intense battle of words continued for five minutes. Billions of messages were posted on the forum, making it difficult to see clearly. But five minutes later, the battle of words gradually subsided.

They realized one issue: since Tong Yuehu was eliminated until now, more than six or seven minutes had passed. Why hadn't Lin Zhen been eliminated yet?

So, people started questioning whether Tong Yuehu was really with Lin Zhen.

Tong Yuehu immediately swore that he was definitely with Lin Zhen. He also talked about the situation at the virtual Sunflower Battle, saying that Huo

Luofu and Lanslow were together. Lin Zhen had no chance of escaping alive. The reason why he hadn't been eliminated yet might be that Huo Luofu was toying with Lin Zhen.

Given Tong Yuehu's status, his oath carried some weight. Furthermore, other eliminated War Gods also came forward to confirm Tong Yuehu's words, verifying that some yellow gemstone fragments had appeared on the Sunflower in the virtual world. Some of the recently eliminated confirmed that Huo Luofu had gone to the Sunflower.

This included Gisent and Aroldo who had been eliminated. After the testimony of these parties, the critics finally believed that Lin Zhen would be unable to escape Huo Luofu's hunt.

The only question now was when Lin Zhen would be eliminated.

Inside Heavenly Garden, Lin Zhen watched Huo Luofu and Lanslow approach.

For Lin Zhen, Huo Luofu was almost invincible now.

His weakness was his speed, but Lin Zhen dared not rely on his speed recklessly. Tong Yuehu's lesson was right before him, and Huo Luofu must have had other tricks up his sleeve.

Huo Luofu walked over with a sinister smile: "Hehe! Lin Zhen, ah, Lin Zhen. When I found out you were here in Sunflower, I even gave up my plan to cross the Flower Sea and came back specifically to deal with you. I didn't expect to find you trapped here. Where can you run to now?"

Although the Sunflower was half a football field in size, that wasn't much for War Gods. Lin Zhen had only two choices now: either give up all the yellow gemstone fragments and jump down from the Sunflower to save his life or stay and fight.

Jumping down from the Sunflower would leave him with a distance where he couldn't teleport, and facing those drifting morning glory flowers, jumping down didn't guarantee survival.

Lin Zhen shook the Tyrant Spear slightly: "Huo Luofu, it seems like you miss your companion Adolf. If your relationship was really that deep, I can send you to meet him now.."

Chapter 230: Chapter 230: The Battle of Sunflower (Update

Translator: 549690339

"Hahaha! You're still putting up resistance, Lin Zhen. Today, unless you commit suicide, I'll tear you to shreds. Lanslow, cut off Lin Zhen's retreat for me while I kill him!"

Lanslow immediately moved along the edge of the sunflower, planning to intercept Lin Zhen from another direction.

You should know, the center of the sunflower is all seeds. The gaps between each seed are not small, and the tapered part of the seeds are even smaller than the human foot. Any attempts to walk smoothly there would be virtually impossible, and once you're surrounded, there's no way to escape.

Lin Zhen was aware of this. He had no plans to escape anyway. Since he had encountered the toughest of the War Gods, he had to test his opponent's strength.

Mental shock!

The spiritual power in the Dark Gold Late Stage roared out, directly targeting Huo Luofu's Spiritual Consciousness Sea.

"Boom!"

Lin Zhen felt as if his spiritual power had hit an invisible wall, and was immediately rebuked without causing any harm to Huo Luofu.

"Hahaha! Didn't I tell you my Spiritual Consciousness Sea had undergone variation and solidification? Any kind of spiritual attack is useless against me, Lin Zhen. Are you still struggling beyond your abilities?"

Seeing that spiritual power was indeed ineffective, Lin Zhen gripped the Tyrant Spear and thrust it with all his might.

Storm!

The spear shadows filled the sky like a rainstorm, enveloping vast stretches of space.

Huo Luofu sneered and walked large strides towards Lin Zhen, oblivious to the storm of spears.

As soon as Lin Zhen's spear rain entered inside the five-meter radius around Huo Luofu, Lin Zhen suddenly felt that the spear weighed tons. An invisible pressure descended from the sky, making it difficult for him to even hold the spear, let alone stand upright!

"Gravity Field ! "

Lin Zhen exclaimed, startled by the revelation that Huo Luofu was not only an Innate Power King, he also mastered Gravity Field.

Gravity Field is a rather unique method of attack. It can be achieved just by manipulating the Dantian Qi. Huo Luofu was at the center of an invisible pressure field spreading out, spanning several meters; everything within was subjected to his gravity suppression.

Lin Zhen felt as though he had a mountain on his shoulders. Lifting the Tyrant Spear for an attack was wishful thinking. His muscles and bones screamed from the immense pressure suddenly bearing down on them.

"Hahaha! You're observant. Right, this is the Gravity Field. Lin Zhen, right now, I've activated ten-fold pressure. Within ten meters around me, every square centimeter is subjected to a pressure ten times heavier than usual. For instance, if your spear weighs 500 kilograms, now it's 5,000 kilograms. Lin Zhen, can you still swing it?"

"Your weight has increased ten-fold under my pressure. It becomes very difficult for you to even straighten your back. Lin Zhen, do you still want to fight?"

Lin Zhen used the Tyrant Spear to prop himself up, refusing to let his body fall, bearing the immense pressure with gritted teeth.

"Don't resist anymore. Be a good boy and let me catch you, then I'll tear you apart like a rag doll."

Huo Luofu stepped forward, extending his huge palm, ready to grab Lin Zhen's neck.

Lin Zhen hung his head low while amassing power within his body.

"No wonder Tong Yuehu had no means to resist. This guy is immune to spiritual attacks and also has the Gravity Field. Any object in the Gravity Field will suffer immense pressure, making it impossible to move. To break the Gravity Field, the only method is the energy body!"

"Only energy bodies aren't affected by gravitational suppression. I need to counter-attack!"

Huo Luofu was about to approach, Lin Zhen's Tyrant Spear suddenly disappeared.

Raising his hand was extraordinarily difficult, but Lin Zhen still persisted in making a move.

He raised his head, two rays of light emanating from his eyes as his body's electrically charged particles shimmered, shooting out from his eyes! "Ah!" Huo Luofu instinctively felt the glare and raised his hand to shield his eyes.

This small diversion gave Lin Zhen a brief respite. As his palm flipped over, an energy ball erupted and slammed into Huo Luofu.

"Boom!"

The optical and electrical energy exploded on Huo Luofu's chest. Energy bodies are not affected by Gravity Fields and move quickly. But Huo Luofu didn't manage to evade.

The explosion set the sunflower swaying slightly, but the result left Lin Zhen aghast.

A High Grade Astral Armor appeared on Huo Luofu's chest. The optical and electrical energy made him sway a bit, but he still stood firm, his balance undisturbed, without a scratch.

"Kid, you indeed have some abilities. No wonder you could defeat Adolf. But meeting me marks the end of your good luck. This time, you won't have any opportunity!"

Huo Luofu raised his hand, ready to release the Gravity Field again.

Lin Zhen felt the danger. Before a larger Gravity Field could take effect, he leapt backward onto the seeds at the center of the sunflower.

The seeds' sharp ends pointing upwards, each of Lin Zhen's steps landed on a seed. He advanced rapidly and soon reached the center of the sunflower.

This distance was already out of Huo Luofu's Gravity Field's range. He couldn't suppress Lin Zhen's movement from the edge.

Lin Zhen once again pulled out the Tyrant Spear, pointing it at Huo Luofu,

"Huo Luofu, I'll wait here. Do you dare to come up and fight me?"

"Damn rat, you think you can get away just like that?"

Hu Luofu seemed very dismissive of Lin Zhen's actions, striding rapidly onto the sunflower seeds.

As he stepped on them, he instantly felt something was wrong.

The tips of each seed were about a meter apart, a misstep could easily cause him to fall. Battling on such terrain was truly a technical challenge.

After taking a few steps forward, he realized that the gravity field didn't seem to work so well on this surface.

Reducing gravity won't work on Lin Zhen. Whenever he enveloped Lin Zhen under his gravity field, the first things to fail would be the sunflower seeds, cracking under the pressure.

Lin Zhen took advantage of these moments to collect three yellow gemstone fragments continuously. This guy was very slick, and never stayed in one place for long. As soon as the gravity hit, he'd dodge using the force of the shattered sunflower seeds. Not only was Lin Zhen not suppressed, several times Huoluo was blocked by his own route.

Hu Luofu simply stopped using the gravity field. Protected by the High-Grade Astral Armor, he wasn't afraid of Lin Zhen's attacks and began to pursue him in large strides.

"Lanslow! Block him for me!"

Walking on the sunflower seeds was so difficult that Hu Luofu couldn't help but call for Lanslow's help.

Lanslow loudly agreed, entered the central area of the sunflower, and carefully walked on the sunflower seeds, approaching Lin Zhen.

Seeing Lanslow come in, Lin Zhen, who had been playing a guerrilla game with Hu Luofu, finally started to counterattack!

This ground is challenging for Huoluo and Lanslow, but not so for Lin Zhen. To him, it was a standard Plum Blossom Piles exercise.

When he learned spear techniques from Zhang Guanyue, Lin Zhen walked on the Plum Blossom Piles with expertise. His guerrilla battle with Hu Luofu was to draw Lanslow up to the sunflower.

As one of the top three warriors in Sand Russia, it wouldn't be easy to eliminate him after Lin Zhen had already eliminated Adolf. But on this sunflower, Lanslow had no choice!

"Lanslow, be careful!" Hu Luofu, struggling to walk, saw Lin Zhen suddenly accelerate, running towards Lanslow as if he was running on flat ground and shouted out a warning.

"Relax, I'm about to take him down!" Lanslow didn't take Lin Zhen too seriously.

The two met and engaged in battle.

The Overlord Spear in Lin Zhen's hand was like a venomous dragon, launching surprise attacks from various angles, instantly putting Lanslow into a flurry.

It wasn't that Lanslow was inferior, but that turning to face his enemy was incredibly difficult, not because it was hard to unleash an attack, but because of the difficulty in not falling after turning.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

After three consecutive spears, Lin Zhen jumped twice lightly to Lanslow's back and stabbed three times continuously from behind!

Lanslow turned around in a panic, and Lin Zhen delivered a mental shock!

Lanslow had a mental defense star artifact, but he inevitably slowed down a bit.

A delay of less than a tenth of a second caused him to misstep.

As his body fell awkwardly, Lanslow tried to maintain his balance. But Lin Zhen did not give him that opportunity and attacked repeatedly with great force!

"Puff, puff, puff!"

Blood spurted into the air, and Lanslow screamed. His body turned into light particles and dissipated, eliminated from the game!

Not far away, Hu Luofu was still struggling to move forward, roaring in anger as he traveled.

Lin Zhen sneered, "You big bear from Siberia, take your time climbing. I'll collect the gemstone fragments first."

He took advantage of his speed to circle around, avoiding Huoluo's gravity field. Moreover, Lin Zhen also had gravitation, so he could strike from over ten meters away. His golden energy broke the sunflower seeds, and the gravitational force attracted the yellow gemstone. In a few moments, he took away all the nearly twenty yellow gemstone fragments from the sunflower seeds.

Although someone was occasionally eliminated on the big screen outside, there was no news about Lin Zhen.

After five minutes, someone else was eliminated, bringing new news. A big battle was taking place on a sunflower in the Sea of Flowers, where Lin Zhen was fighting against Huoluo and Lanslow from Sand Russia. He was observing the battle from a distance when he was ambushed and killed by Chris from the European Union.

No one cared about the fate of this unlucky guy, the important thing was the news he brought – Lin Zhen was fighting.

And he was facing Huoluo and Lanslow, a deadly pair. Lin Zhen was as good as dead!

Lin's haters began to hope expectantly for the moment when Lin Zhen would be eliminated. In fact, many people had already typed insults on their keyboards, waiting for the moment when Lin Zhen was eliminated to post a lengthy derogatory article to provoke those Hua Xia martial artists.

Time ticked away, and another five minutes passed.

Just as people were getting impatient, the scrolling news finally appeared on the big screen.

"War God Lin Zhen from Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, Ice City Base City, Hua Xia, has killed War God Lanslow (Hall of Fame) from Leningrad, Sand Russia….."

Chapter 231: Chapter 231 Bold Female War God (Fifth Update Ready)

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen actually took out Lanslow!

The people outside found it hard to believe what they were witnessing. Wasn't Lanslow with Huo Luofu? How could he have been taken out by Lin Zhen?

Could it be that Lin Zhen's power had already surpassed Huo Luofu's? This was absolutely impossible. Huo Luofu's strength was well-known, deeply rooted in everyone's hearts. Lin Zhen, who had only recently ascended to the status of a War God, couldn't possibly have achieved this in such a short period of time, even if he were a god himself.

But Lanslow was dead, and that was an indisputable fact. The cyber fans of Lin Zhen erupted once more, with countless celebratory posts bursting forth like a geyser.

"Lin Zhen is so cool! I love you!"

"Tong Yuehu was just a burden, better off dead. Lin Zhen doesn't need you, you were just hindering him. Did you really think you could blacken Lin Zhen's reputation? Expelling Lin Zhen was the stupidest thing you've ever done in your life."

"What will those haters have to say now? They're all speechless, aren't they?

Haha, Lin Zhen, keep going and take down Huo Luofu!"

"How many people in the Hall of Fame has Lin Zhen taken down now? Why isn't a master like Lin Zhen in the Hall of Fame? What's the point of such rankings?"

Posts after posts sprang up, leaving the haters feeling frustrated. As time ticked by and news of Lin Zhen's elimination still hadn't come, they were not only disappointed but also very perplexed, why were there no results from the fight between Huo Luofu and Lin Zhen?

With Lin Zhen collecting yellow gemstone fragments one after the other, Huo

Luofu had finally had enough of this snail-paced progress. He roared, "Lin Zhen, come down!"

An unprecedented huge gravity descended from the sky, affecting Huo Luofu's entire being, his hair standing on end. Evidently, it was quite exhausting for him to exert such tremendous pressure.

The sunflower, already having a large head, was unable to withstand the immense pressure and collapsed.

Lin Zhen hadn't expected Huo Luofu to be so extreme, to actually destroy the sunflower.

Unable to fly in mid-air, Lin Zhen quickly grabbed the edge of the sunflower, trying his best to maintain his balance as he plummeted.

The sound of rushing wind was heard as the ground rapidly approached.

Huo Luofu, with a vine of morning glory in his hand, kept his gaze locked on Lin Zhen as he fell, waiting for the moment they would be near ground.

When he was only about ten meters above the ground, the no-flight effect disappeared, Lin Zhen prepared to teleport away with a shift of his mental power.

"Whoosh!"

A massive gravitational force descended from the sky, stopping Lin Zhen mid-air and causing his body to uncontrollably smash into the ground!

"Lin Zhen, go ahead and die here!"

Huo Luofu's body hit the ground like a cannonball. His legs almost nailed into the ground before he sprang up again, the gravity field continued to suppress Lin Zhen relentlessly.

Just when he was about to hit the ground, Lin Zhen managed to lift his hands. The liquid metal formed a long rope hooking onto a flower stem in the distance, attempting to pull himself out of the gravity field. Once out of the gravity field, Lin Zhen was confident that he could escape Huo Luofu's pursuit.

But just as Huo Luofu was about to pounce, a sudden sword Qi attack came from behind. Its sharp aura sent chills down his spine, forcing him to abandon his chase of Lin Zhen and hastily turn to defend.

This was the first time Huo Luofu used a weapon, a huge warhammer, to block the incoming sword Qi.

Sparks flew, and upon seeing the person in front of him, Huo Luofu was infuriated, "Chris! You are Chris from the European Union. How dare you ambush me!"

At this moment, the gravity field suppressing Lin Zhen disappeared. Lin Zhen quietly withdrew the liquid metal, looking at the person who had ambushed Huo Luofu. He wanted to see who would be bold enough to do such a thing.

The woman had golden hair flowing down in waves, her face was hidden by a black gold mask, leaving only her blue gemstone-like eyes and elegantly curved red lips visible. Her skin was delicate and smooth, her lips and complexion actually made her seem like an Easterner.

She was wearing a black armor dress. Both the dress and the metal mask were Star Artifacts. In her hand, she held an Eastern-style sword, which was a High Grade Celestial Device.

A beautiful and mysterious woman, she was Chris, the War God from the European Union.

Next to her, was a typical Western beauty. Lin Zhen knew her as Alice, Hansen's superior.

Chris' attack was unsuccessful. Chuckling coldly, she said, "It's because you both have such dense treasures on you. Who else would I ambush if not you?

Missed this time, it means you're lucky. Alice, let's go."

With that, Chris jumped, quickly leaving the place. In a blink of an eye, she had disappeared.

Although Huo Luofu was extremely powerful, speed was his weak point. He could only watch Chris disappear, unable to chase after her.

Lin Zhen faintly heard Alice's voice, "Miss, you're too bold, daring to ambush

Huo Luofu… Wait for me."

Lin Zhen glanced at Huo Luofu, and simply took to the skies, "Big Bear, you can stay here and mourn your fallen comrade. Farewell."

For Spiritual Mind Masters, in places where they can fly, it's nearly impossible to capture them, especially for Lin Zhen, who was a Dark Gold Stage Spiritual Mind Master. Huo Luofu could only watch as Lin Zhen left, helplessly furious.

"Lin Zhen! Chris! You both remember me! This is just a preliminary match, in the elimination round, unless you both give up, everyone who encounters me will die a very ugly death!"

Huo Luofu had never felt so frustrated. He vented his anger by trashing things around him, causing commotion, no one dared to approach him.

After venting, Huo Luofu started to move forward. He no longer cared about collecting gemstone fragments. He wanted to reach the Garden Cottage as soon as possible to secure a place in the next round.

Lin Zhen flew around for a bit, drawing a circle around the vicinity, only to find that within a few tens of miles, there were only a few sunflowers, and they were all already explored by others. The chance of finding any more Yellow Gemstone had become almost impossible.

He did not linger about; he headed straight toward the direction of the stream.

Along the way, thoughts about Chris still lingered in Lin Zhen's mind.

Was this woman really planning to ambush Huo Luofu? How could she be so confident? If she did eliminate Huo Luofu, would she continue to attack him?

Given the circumstances back then, Lin Zhen felt that he had been the most ideal target, yet Chris had chosen the more challenging Huo Luofu.

Could it be that she was trying to save him?

Impossible. Lin Zhen didn't know any Western War Goddess; such a thing

couldn't possibly happen.

Casting aside his tumultuous thoughts, Lin Zhen gradually entered a bamboo grove.

The bamboo grove was the area closest to the stream. Once he passed the grove, he would arrive at the stream. And at that point, dusk was slowly descending, causing the air to gradually cool down.

Summer in the Heavenly Garden was about to end; autumn was about to arrive.

As night fell, Lin Zhen took a rest deep within the bamboo grove. Here, there were nocturnal spiders and bamboo green pythons—it wasn't a good idea to travel at night.

He was lying on a bamboo leaf when suddenly, an alert sounded from the system.

Opening it, he saw that the first person to level up had arrived!

"Congratulations to Los Angeles War God Duke from the United States for reaching the Garden Cottage and obtaining a leveling quota. There are still 1,023 leveling quotas remaining."

Lin Zhen was taken aback: "Good heavens, talk about being competitive. He's already reached the Garden Cottage before autumn arrives. I reckon this may provoke those who haven't leveled up yet. There will probably be fewer and fewer people competing for the Gemstone Fragments— I should seize the time to find more tomorrow."

He checked the remaining number of people in the Heavenly Garden—it had already dropped from 13,000 to just over 8,000.

Lin Zhen closed his eyes. After a day of running and fighting, he was slightly fatigued, and so he began to rest.

The preliminary rounds had reached the third day, and the spectators were still as enthusiastic as ever, watching the individuals who kept qualifying on the big screen.

"Congratulations to War God Bogba from the African Union for reaching the Garden Cottage and obtaining a leveling quota. There are still 1,006 leveling quotas remaining."

"Congratulations to War God Shah from India for reaching the Garden Cottage and obtaining a leveling quota. There are still 981 leveling quotas remaining."

"Congratulations to Hua Xia War God Feng Ni for reaching the Garden Cottage and obtaining a leveling quota. There are still 922 leveling quotas remaining."

"Congratulations to European Union War God Ai Er for reaching the Garden

Cottage and obtaining a leveling quota. The remaining leveling quotas are 870."

One by one, the number of qualifying participants kept increasing, with Hua Xia's Feng Ni, Tang Wenbo, Duo Long, Xin Rughai, Ma Yao, Wei Li, and others all leveling up.

At this time, the members of the Hall of Fame worldwide also demonstrated their strength. As long as they had not been eliminated midway, advancing was not an issue.

By noon on the third day, the number of qualifiers had reached 700, with only a little over 300 quotas remaining.

At that time, the focus of everyone's attention—Lin Zhen—had just reached the edge of the stream.

Lin Zhen was making a real effort too. While the majority of the group had moved on to the stream, he was still lingering around the bamboo grove area. After scavenging around all morning, he finally found nearly twenty Yellow Gemstone Fragments.

Currently, Lin Zhen had obtained 500 Red Gemstone Fragments, 100 Blue Gemstone Fragments, and 40 Yellow Gemstone Fragments. He was incredibly wealthy.

Only after collecting the fortieth Yellow Gemstone Fragment did Lin Zhen decide to head for the stream.

He could delay it no longer—the leveling quotas were down to 300. If he missed the chance to level up because of his collection of fragments, it would be a total tragedy.

Upon reaching the river bank, what greeted Lin Zhen was a large river.

This river was several thousand meters wide, majestic and vast. There were quite a few people crossing the river on its surface.

None of these people were in the water, and none were flying. Instead, they all used bamboo from the river bank to construct massive rafts to cross the river.

"Why isn't anyone flying across?"

Just as Lin Zhen was wondering, a Spiritual Mind Master couldn't hold back and flew across the river, skimming the surface. Suddenly, a huge fish sprang out from the water, swallowing him whole.

With this fish, seven to eight other fish also leaped out of the water, though they didn't catch anything.

"Good heavens! Such a huge fish— Is it a goldfish or a whale? No wonder the rafts have to be built so big. I should get moving now," said Lin Zhen.

At that moment, Lin Zhen finally felt the urgency of time. If he were any later, he'd fear that he would not secure a spot..

Chapter 232: Chapter 232: The Moment of Promotion (Six More Arrivals)

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen had a massive Space Ring, and sometimes he would throw the spoils of war into it. After rummaging through it, he found a large bundle of ropes.

Picking up the liquid metal formed into a long knife, Lin Zhen started cutting bamboos to build a bamboo raft.

Only by making a large raft that those golden fish couldn't swallow would he have a chance to cross the river.

After nearly two hours, a huge bamboo raft was finally made. When he checked the number of promotion spots left, there were less than two hundred. The total number of people in Heaven's Garden was already below four thousand.

There were still many people fighting near the riverbank. This preliminary contest wouldn't last until the end. Before the arrival of winter, those who should be promoted are likely to be promoted, while the rest would continue searching for Gemstone Fragments.

Lin Zhen pushed the massive bamboo raft and charged towards the riverbank, shouting as he ran, "Make way! Those who block the way will die!"

Some War Gods, whose eyes had already turned red for the gemstone fragments, didn't care and rushed towards Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen tried to put the bamboo raft in the Space Ring but found that it was slightly too large to fit in.

With no other choice, he stood on the raft and fought with these desperate warriors.

Those who tried blocking his way were not formidable opponents. Most of the powerful fighters had already left, and these people could not pose a significant threat to Lin Zhen.

Continuous teleportation flights and dazzling spear glows, one after another, War Gods fell under Lin Zhen's spear.

Even so, many more people kept pouring out of the bamboo forest by the riverbank. Seeing Lin Zhen surrounded by an incredibly dense treasure aura, they all charged at him with red eyes.

Lin Zhen simply didn't have a chance to push the raft into the river, and could only engage in fierce combat with them by the riverbank.

In the outside world, people were staring at the big screen, anxiously awaiting the results.

"Congratulations to War God Holov from Russian Moscow for reaching the Garden Cottage and obtaining a promotion spot. There are currently 100 spots

left.'

Many people cheering for Holov shouted in joy. Their strongest contender had finally been promoted. He was sure to win the championship of this contest.

At this moment, those supporting Lin Zhen became worried. Why hadn't Lin Zhen been promoted yet?

The scrolling text on the big screen continued to flash.

"War God Lin Zhen from Hua Xia Ice City's Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall defeats

African Union War God XXX…"

"War God Lin Zhen from Hua Xia Ice City's Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall defeats

Hua Xia War God XXX…"

"War God Lin Zhen from Hua Xia Ice City's Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall defeats Indian War God XXX…"

This kind of text had appeared countless times. Lin Zhen was no longer ranked first on the Kill List, but after this series of mad slaughters, he had once again skyrocketed to the top and left everyone else far behind.

His current kill count had reached 180, with over a hundred killed during this period alone.

"Damn, this Lin Zhen is really crazy! Look how fierce he is in battle. If he continues like this, even if he doesn't participate in the elimination round, he probably won't be able to spend all the money he's earned in his lifetime."

"You don't understand. Lin Zhen doesn't lack money at all. He donated 30 billion yuan in the Capital in one go. He must have a lot of gemstone fragments on him right now."

"I think Lin Zhen is in danger. No matter how many gemstone fragments he obtains, it's such a pity if he can't participate in the elimination round."

"Of course. Although Lin Zhen isn't a member of the Hall of Fame, his strength has proven that he deserves it. Any Martial Artist with strength wants to stand out in the elimination round. That's the highlight that the whole world is watching. It doesn't matter how many people he kills now."

"Let me check, how many Hall of Fame members left in Heaven's Garden haven't been promoted yet?"

Some people started checking the number of Hall of Fame members inside the virtual world.

After checking, they found out that there were actually less than ten un-promoted Hall of Fame members in the virtual world.

Among them were Chris, War God from the EU's Paris, Alice, War God from Europe and America's Madrid, Su Saintess from Hua Xia's God's Grace Cathedral, and Kip, War God from Sand Russia's Moscow Base City.

"How come these beauties haven't been promoted yet? My Su Saintess is still there too?"

"Who knows? I've seen the promotional picture of Chris with the mask. I'm sure she's a super beauty. And Alice is also a sexy goddess. Without these goddesses competing, the War God competition will be a lot less exciting."

"I still hope to see Lin Zhen compete, but it seems like he might be running out of time."

On the big screen, another person had been promoted, leaving only fifty spots left.

Inside the virtual world, there were no longer many people around Lin Zhen. "Who will still come?! Huh! Who will still come?!"

Lin Zhen swung his Tyrant Spear from left to right, scaring off the remaining dozen War Gods, who scattered to avoid him.

Seeing that they simply couldn't deal with Lin Zhen, they finally gave up.

Only then did Lin Zhen finally find the opportunity to push the bamboo raft into the river.

However, just as he turned around in that instant, he heard a bang!

"Boom!"

Caught off guard, the bamboo raft had been quietly split by a single strike!

Lin Zhen was instantly infuriated. Turning around, he saw that it was Kip, the last surviving member of the Sand Russia's Three Braves.

After his sneak attack, Kip immediately ran towards the bamboo forest in the distance, laughing as he ran, "Lin Zhen, come chase me, and you won't be able to get promoted! Then, I'll have avenged my two brothers."

As a natural-born Divine Speedster, Kip ran very fast. Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment, but eventually decided not to pursue him, prioritizing the bigger picture instead.

"Even with a broken bamboo raft, one can still cross the river."

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the liquid metal turned into several hooks, managing to connect the two halves of the bamboo raft together.

Lin Zhen didn't care about others anymore, pushing the bamboo raft into the water and began to cross the river.

Kip peered out from the bamboo grove, seeing Lin Zhen actually being able to go on the water like this, snorted coldly: "Getting promoted won't be that easy. I also have a bamboo raft. Let's see how I play with you in the river."

Lin Zhen went into the water, although the bamboo raft barely worked, but Lin Zhen originally planned to use the liquid metal as an oar, and now he could only find two shields to use as oars, unavoidably slowing down his speed.

Occasionally looking at the system, more people were promoted, and only twenty spots were left.

"This is bad, I might have played too much this time, that damn Russian, trying to trap me at the last moment."

Desperately using the shield to paddle, the bamboo raft still moved leisurely towards the opposite bank.

As Lin Zhen struggled to move forward, Kip actually rode on another bamboo raft, cleaving through the waves and rushing past him.

Kip's bamboo raft was about 150 meters away from Lin Zhen, out of the range of Lin Zhen's teleportation. He looked back and laughed as he passed Lin Zhen's raft: "Lin Zhen, bye-bye, there are a few spots left. I guess I can get one, but you're in a pinch. Hahaha!"

Seeing him, Lin Zhen revealed a hint of a smile: "Really? But I think I still have hope."

"Forget it, with your broken bamboo raft, as slow as a crawling turtle, just give up."

Lin Zhen raised his hand to remove the liquid metal, and the bamboo raft split in half.

Underneath the water, waves surged, and a golden fish burst out.

Lin Zhen's body soared into the air, taking advantage of the momentum from the golden fish to leap thirty meters closer to Wei Li's bamboo raft.

Kip was startled and hurriedly tried to speed up and leave. Lin Zhen teleported again, closing the distance by another hundred meters.

Another golden fish jumped out of the water, biting at Lin Zhen in the air.

With liquid metal in his hand, he turned it into a hook and caught a bamboo raft over ten meters away. Dodging the golden fish by pulling and pushing, Lin Zhen's body landed on the bamboo raft.

"Now I'd like to trade boats with you, I wonder if that's possible?" Lin Zhen smiled and looked at Kip. "I…." Kip was a bit dumbfounded.

"Get lost!"

With a swipe of the liquid metal, Kip was eliminated by Lin Zhen.

At this point, all three of the Sand Russian warriors who had once insulted Lin Zhen were personally eliminated by Lin Zhen!

Meanwhile, someone was anxiously waiting in the Garden Cottage.

Su Mingyue paced anxiously in front of a seat.

She had arrived early, but she couldn't be at ease until she saw Lin Zhen. She claimed a spot for him, and no one else could have it. If Lin Zhen arrived last ana tnere were no more spots, sne WOUICI save tms one ror mm. As she anxiously waited, a woman wearing black armor walked up to Su Mingyue.

Su Mingyue looked up at the woman, and by a woman's intuition, she knew that she was an exceptional woman who had come straight for her.

Watching her warily, Su Mingyue said: "This seat is taken."

The woman nodded: "I know, it's reserved for Lin Zhen, isn't it?"

Su Mingyue was stunned: "How do you know?"

"Of course I know, the Divine Sect Saintess may be revered by thousands, but in the end, she's just a naive girl."

Su Mingyue didn't quite understand her meaning, tilting her head as she watched her.

"Hehe, a truly pitiful sweetheart, no wonder Lin Zhen likes you. But I think you can change your approach," said the woman in front of her.

"What approach?"

"Why do you stubbornly hold onto a seat when you don't need to? Just take out everyone who comes in, and that way you can save a spot for Lin Zhen, right?"

Su Mingyue paused for a moment, shook her head slightly: "That's not fair to others. "

"Silly girl, as long as you and your sweetheart can be promoted smoothly, who cares if it's fair to others?"

Su Mingyue still lowered her head slightly: "I don't want to do that. Besides, I believe Lin Zhen will come before the end. He always has been able to… "

"Fine, fine! I give up on you silly girl. Alright, I'll wait with you. Alice, come over and take your seat. Let's wait together."

Alice walked over and sat next to Chris, glancing at Su Mingyue: "Su Saintess, you're so beautiful, I actually really like you."

"Um… thank you," Su Mingyue replied politely.

The three of them were the only remaining members of the Hall of Fame, occupying three spots without anyone daring to say anything. When others entered, they could only advance to the back positions.

People entered one by one, advanced, disappeared, and the seats became scarce. Excluding their three spots, there were now only five left..

Chapter 233: Chapter 233 Yue l er l s Punishment (Guaranteed 1 more update)

Translator: 549690339

Around the world, people stared anxiously at the big screens on the streets.

Because the qualifying match was about to end, yet several popular War Gods still had not advanced, nor had they been eliminated, leaving everyone in the dark about what they might be up to.

The first to note was Su Mingyue. Star Sky Divine Teaching was not only in Hua

Xia, it has followers worldwide. As the Saintess of the Divine Sect, Su Mingyue's popularity was global.

Although there were also saintesses in other countries – whose strength and beauty stood out – they seemed insignificant compared to Su Mingyue. Especially after the proliferation of the internet in recent years, the promotion of the Gods Clan grew stronger, leading to an increase in Su Mingyue's popularity and even inspiring a trend among young people to follow the Gods

Clan.

Aside from Su Mingyue, Chris and Alice also had quite a bit of popularity in the

European Union.

Alice was a well-known beauty in the European Union, with plenty of fans.

Chris, who was previously unknown, rose suddenly in this qualifying match. Her stunning beauty naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Despite her face being obscured by a black mask, people strongly believed she was an absolute beauty, which sparked even more curiosity. It would be a real pity if she could not advance.

However, at this moment, many people were focusing on Lin Zhen as well. This controversial character had never been quiet from the start. Belittled by the Sand Russians, he responded fiercely. First, he killed the Far East's Adolf, and then he killed Lanslow in front of Huo Luofu.

Just now, he even killed the last of the three Sand Russian warriors, Kip. Thus far, all the Sand Russian warriors had been wiped out, and the only remaining advanced expert from Sand Russia was Huo Luofu.

If Lin Zhen couldn't advance, it would be a real pity. Many people even looked forward to his challenge against Huo Luofu in the War God's Knockout. That would undoubtedly be very exciting.

However, the large screens had been quiet for a while. There remained only over a thousand people in the Heaven Garden, with the majority already giving up on advancing and instead searching for gemstone fragments.

Another message flashed: "Congratulations to the War God XXX from Mumbai,

India, for advancing. Currently, there are only six advancement positions left." "Only six remaining, oh my God, is someone bound to be eliminated?"

"God bless, my Saintess must advance."

"Go, Chris! You are the hope of the European Union!"

"Lin Zhen, what are you doing, you jerk? We are waiting for you!"

"Ha ha ha! Lin Zhen is finished. I'm so happy. If you cannot advance, killing any number of people is useless. Go cry with your gemstone fragments!"

The large screen once again flashed another message: "Congratulations to the War God XXX from the United States on advancing. There are now only five advancement positions left."

People barely had time to register their surprise when another message rolled across the screen: "Congratulations to the War God Alice from Madrid Base City in the European Union, there are now only four advancement positions left."

Alice's advancement relieved some people in the European Union. However, the more popular Chris hadn't yet advanced, which caused concern amongst some people.

In the garden cottage, Chris glanced at the few remaining spots behind her, turning to Su Mingyue next to her and said, "Now, other than you and me, there are just two spots left. Are you still waiting for Lin Zhen?"

"I will wait for him." Su Mingyue said with conviction.

A strange look appeared in Chris's eyes as she hesitated a moment before saying, "Saintess Su, do you love Lin Zhen?"

Su Mingyue thought for a second: "Does wanting to be with him forever count as love? I don't know."

Chris rolled her big, blue eyes at Su Mingyue: "What do you think, does Lin Zhen love you?"

Without hesitation, Su Mingyue nodded. She had never doubted this fact.

Faced with Su Mingyue's candidness, Chris remained silent for a moment. After a while, the last spot was taken by someone else. Counting the two of them, there was only one person left to fill the advancement position.

Chris stood up and walked toward the last position. Before she prepared to leave, she told Su Mingyue, "I'll leave these two spots to you. Don't give them to anyone before Lin Zhen arrives. My naive girl, let me teach you something today; if you love him, then be with him. I trust that Lin Zhen wouldn't want to advance at the cost of your elimination. Because aside from your lover, nobody else merits your attention and sacrifice. You're the saintess of the Gods Clan; kindness is embedded in your nature. However, at times, some matters exceed kindness in importance."

Watchinq Chris walk toward the last position, Su Minqvue finallv nodded at

her: "I think you make sense."

"I hope you can do it. Goodbye. I promise we'll meet again and it'll be for a very, very long time."

And with that, Chris disappeared.

The system alerted again: "Congratulations to the War God Chris from Paris in the European Union, there are currently only two advancement positions left."

After Chris advanced, Su Mingyue stood in front of the two remaining positions, awaiting Lin Zhen's arrival.

However, the next person who entered was not Lin Zhen, but a War God from Hua Xia.

This person also came from the Capital Base City. He ran into the garden cottage and on seeing the two available spots next to Su Mingyue, he sprinted over.

"Saintess Su, I'm so glad to meet you here."

Seeing Su Mingyue, he immediately displayed excitement. This woman was a goddess who resided above the clouds; getting a glimpse of her was usually hard enough, let alone meeting her in this virtual world.

Su Mingyue nodded in acknowledgment: "Hello, but these positions are taken."

The War God was taken aback, then said, "Isn't there another spot?" "The other one is reserved for someone else."

"How can that be? The person hasn't even arrived yet. It's first come, first served. This spot should be mine. As a Saintess of Divine Sect, how could you do such a thing? It's unfair to everyone else!"

This War God was very confident. He was a fan of Su Mingyue, convinced that he understood her. As long as he pressed her with reason, she would certainly give in.

But to his surprise, this time Su Mingyue didn't back down.

With a slightly flushed face, Su Mingyue bit her red lips lightly: "Not this time."

"Why not? Have you forgotten the teachings of the Gods Clan? How did the

True God of the Stars teach you? How can you act like this and still be a

Saintess?"

Su Mingyue shook her head: "Really, I can't this time. I must reserve this spot, please leave."

"Huh! Just because you say I should leave doesn't mean I will. Go ahead and try to have me removed," the War God said, before heading straight for an empty seat, fully believing that Su Mingyue wouldn't dare attack him.

Nevertheless, Su Mingyue's face became freezing cold, a long sword appeared in her hand and she targeted the War God for a thrust.

But before her sword could strike, a rainbow ray shot through the air, piercing the War God's back and eliminating him from the competition.

Su Mingyue turned around to see Lin Zhen approaching, he greeted her with a smile, "Yue'er, you've made progress this time, understanding some trade-offs. But you shouldn't sully your hands over people like him. It's better if I take care of it."

While looking at Lin Zhen, Su Mingyue's eyes were filled with longing and a crystalline tear formed at the corner of her eye.

"Yue'er, what's the matter? I've arrived, haven't I? I think it won't be long before we meet once the War God's Knockout ends."

Su Mingyue quietly nodded. When Lin Zhen was close enough, she leaned gently against him. She did not even want to advance immediately. After being apart for so long, it was too difficult to get to see each other, even in this virtual world, it felt extremely precious.

Smelling Su Mingyue's fragrant hair, feeling the warmth of the woman in his arms, Lin Zhen took a deep breath, "Yue'er, why are you so decisive this time? I thought that based on your character, you'd rather be eliminated than hurt others. "

"Someone taught me some principles," Su Mingyue answered.

"who?"

"A foreign woman. She told me that if you like someone, you should be with them. You surely wouldn't want me to be eliminated just to secure your advancement."

Lin Zhen nodded, "She's right. You should thank her."

"Hmm, I think we'll meet again."

"Alright, it's about time. Let's hurry up and advance. If we keep occupying the last two spots, others will talk."

Su Mingyue nodded and left Lin Zhen's embrace. Seemingly remembering something, she said to Lin Zhen, "I've advanced to a Dark Gold Spiritual mind master."

"That's amazing! Congratulations, my dear Yue'er." Lin Zhen looked at her charming face, couldn't resist pinching her cheek.

Su Mingyue let him pinch her cheek and then whispered, "When you were at the Star Fruit Tree, did you advance to Dark Gold?"

Lin Zhen nodded, "Yes, I found a Spiritual Power Star Crystal there. After absorbing it, I advanced to Dark Gold."

Su Mingyue's face grew even redder, her ears becoming somewhat transparent. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Zhen, and murmur like a mosquito, "Then you… then you…"

Lin Zhen looked back and sensed that people were approaching the Garden Cottage again. He quickly took Su Mingyue's hand, "Behave, Yue'er. Let's stop talking and advance quickly. We have people coming and we don't want any trouble."

With that, he took Su Mingyue's hand and they sat down on the two reserved seats.

Just as they were about to fade away in a flash of white light, Su Mingyue leaned over and brought her beautiful face close to Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen happily closed his eyes. He thought Yue'er couldn't resist kissing him this time. This was a first – he must relish this moment.

However, instead of kissing him, Su Mingyue revealed two rows of pearly white teeth and bit hard on Lin Zhen's neck!

"Ah! Yue'er, you!" Lin Zhen cried out in pain. Turning to Su Mingyue, he saw her looking at him with unprecedented fury before she disappeared from his view.

Having advanced, Lin Zhen also disappeared from the Garden Cottage.

In the next moment, Lin Zhen opened his eyes and found himself at home.

He instinctively touched his neck, found no wound; virtual world damage wouldn't carry out into the real world.

Suddenly he was struck with a realization, Lin Zhen was startled.

Then, he burst into a smile: "Luckily, it happened in the virtual world, or Yue'er's punishment would have been more severe. It seems I got caught in my mischief."

The street screen scrolled: "Congratulations to Su Mingyue of Gods Grace

Cathedral, Hua Xia, for advancing. One spot still remains…."

"Congratulations to Lin Zhen of Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, Ice City Base City, Hua Xia, for advancing. All advancement spots have been filled. The elimination round begins in three months. All War Gods who received Gemstone Fragments, please log in to redeem…."

Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Star Artifact Feast, Treasure Acquired!

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen logged onto the World War God Network, where gemstone fragments could be exchanged.

Of course, the gemstone fragments in the virtual world could not be taken out, but the system had already counted how many fragments each War God had.

After entering his identification number, Lin Zhen finally found the number of gemstones he owned.

After the crazy killing spree by the riverbank, Lin Zhen's gemstone count skyrocketed again, currently possessing 1,850 red gemstone fragments, 174 blue gemstone fragments, and 55 yellow gemstone fragments.

If all these were exchanged for Star Artifacts, there would be 185 Lower Grade Star Artifacts, 17 Middle Grade Star Artifacts, and 5 High Grade Celestial Devices.

"Hello, Mr. Lin Zhen, how may I help you?" a sweet customer service voice came over the line.

"Can the gemstone fragments be exchanged using the decimal system?" Lin Zhen asked again.

The so-called decimal system is to exchange ten red gemstone fragments for one blue gemstone fragment, and ten blue gemstone fragments can also be exchanged for one yellow gemstone fragment.

"Yes, sir, you can exchange them,"

"Then let me exchange all of them for yellow gemstone fragments." The Lower Grade Star Artifacts were no longer of much use to Lin Zhen, he needed High Grade Celestial Devices.

In less than five seconds, Lin Zhen's gemstone fragment count changed, the red gemstone fragment count reset to zero, the blue gemstone fragment count remained at nine, and the number of yellow gemstone fragments became ninety.

Looking at these nine blue gemstone fragments, Lin Zhen hesitated for a moment. Turning them into cash would only amount to nine hundred million, which was of no use to Lin Zhen at the moment. If he could exchange them for a Middle Grade Star Artifact, it would be somewhat useful, but he was one fragment short.

"Can I make up the difference with cash and purchase one blue gemstone fragment, then exchange it for a Middle Grade Star Artifact?"

"You cannot."

"Then can I add a Lower Grade Star Artifact and exchange it for a Middle Grade one?"

"Sorry, sir, you cannot."

Lin Zhen had no choice, "Then exchange these for nine Lower Grade Star

Artifacts."

"Alright, the virtual system will select for you nine times. You have an 80% chance of selecting a Lower Grade offensive Star Artifact, a 19% chance of selecting a Defense-type one, and a 1% chance of selecting an Auxiliary-type one. Do you want to choose manually or randomly?"

"Choose randomly."

Soon, a grid appeared in the dialog box, a burst of light flashed, and nine Lower Grade Star Artifacts appeared inside.

Lin Zhen scanned them and saw that there were eight offensive class Star Artifacts, among which four were longswords, two were knives, one was a spear, and one was a staff.

There was one defensive class Star Artifact, a heavy armor.

"Lower Grade Star Artifact exchange completed. Please enter your address, and the Star Artifacts will be delivered soon."

After leaving his address, Lin Zhen spoke to the customer service, "Please exchange my yellow gemstone fragments into Star Artifacts."

He had ninety yellow gemstone fragments, which could be exchanged for nine High Grade Celestial Devices.

"Alright, the virtual system will select for you nine times. You have an 80% chance of selecting a Lower Grade offensive Star Artifact, a 19% chance of selecting a Defense-type one, and a 1% chance of selecting an Auxiliary-type one. Do you want to choose manually or randomly?"

"Choose manually."

Last time's random selection was a bit of a pitfall, so Lin Zhen didn't want to try his luck again with random selection. He wanted to test his own luck. "Alright, the Star Artifact roulette is ready, sir, you may begin."

A huge roulette wheel appeared in front of Lin Zhen, with a pointer in the center and a total of 100 squares around it.

The square at the top had an auxiliary Mental Defense-type Star Artifact.

Apart from this Star Artifact, there were various weapons in the remaining eighty squares and defensive Star Artifacts in nineteen squares.

Lin Zhen clicked to start spinning, the roulette wheel spun a few rounds, and finally landed on a longsword.

Lin Zhen shook his head slightly, as the Star Artifacts on the wheel changed after drawing one, restoring back to a hundred.

This time, Lin Zhen didn't bother to see what Star Artifacts were available and clicked to spin again.

The result of this spin was better, as Lin Zhen obtained a Star Artifact soft armor.

Soft armor is a vest-type defensive Star Artifact, very thin, and although not as strong defensively as heavy armor, it is light and wearable under clothing without being noticeable.

Lin Zhen was quite satisfied with this Star Artifact, as he could keep it.

After acquiring the soft armor, Lin Zhen successively drew five attack-type Star Artifacts, which were basically future Star Shift tools.

It wasn't until the eighth draw that Lin Zhen got a Star Weapon Spear called Broken Jade. It was 3.1 meters long, weighing 900 kilograms, with a huge spearhead and two blood grooves. The dark spearhead exuded an ancient, solemn killing aura.

"Not a bad spear, it's considered good among High Grade Star Artifacts. It's a perfect replacement for my Tyrant Spear."

After obtaining this spear and star armor, Lin Zhen was satisfied and casually clicked for the final spin.

After the pointer turned for a while, it finally stopped at the topmost position!

"Congratulations to Mr. Lin Zhen for obtaining a High Grade auxiliary Star Artifact – Lightning Wings. The draw is over, and all prizes will be delivered within three hours."

As the draw ended, Lin Zhen stared blankly at the last auxiliary Star Artifact he had won.

A pair of bright silver giant wings that could be worn on his back, providing some defense.

However, their main function was not defense, but flight!

"Lightning Wings can absorb the power of light and thunder to advance. They are a flying type auxiliary Star Artifact that can increase the user's flying speed and are retractable."

Seeing this, Lin Zhen almost wanted to burst into laughter.

"It's actually the Lightning Wings, a treasure from Earth! The one-and-only precious item, which is itself a High Grade Celestial Device but has a growing potential. It can absorb lightning and radiant power to advance, and for me, its potential is limitless!"

"These fools from the War God Alliance didn't know that it could grow because no one could infuse the power of lightning and radiance. So, when they defined this Star Artifact, they defined it as a High Grade Celestial Device based on its current state, not knowing that it could theoretically reach the speed of light when fully grown!"

Lin Zhen excitedly paced back and forth on the ground. Since his rebirth, he had faced many things with calm indifference because in his previous life, he had seen and even possessed these things. However, he had only heard of the Lightning Wings in his last life.

The Lightning Wings also came from the Leo Meteor Shower and fell to Earth.

After passing through several people's hands, it wasn't considered a treasure and even appeared in an auction. In the end, it fell into the hands of a visitor from an extraterrestrial civilization.

That person eventually advanced to the Constant Star Stage and relied on the Lightning Wings to dominate amidst his peers.

His motto was: I come as I please, and I leave as I please; no one can hold me back.

But even that person only mastered radiant power, not to mention the resonant light quantum power, so he didn't even unleash the sub-light speed potential of the Lightning Wings.

If both lightning atom and light quantum powers can be mastered, the speed of the Lightning Wings can be boosted to the speed of light.

Currently, the Lightning Wings only slightly increased the user's speed, which is why they were defined as a High Grade Celestial Device.

After anxiously waiting at home for more than an hour, all the Star Artifacts were delivered.

After signing for delivery, Lin Zhen put away all the other Star Artifacts, wore the Star Artifact soft armor under his clothes, played with the Broken Jade Spear for a while, and then put it in the Space Ring.

Finally, he picked up the Lightning Wings.

This retractable treasure would be extremely thin and almost invisible when placed on his back.

Living in a villa, Lin Zhen didn't have many neighbors. He got up and went to a secluded place, wearing the Lightning Wings on his back.

As soon as he put them on, the Lightning Wings emitted a humming sound and suddenly merged into Lin Zhen's body!

"This is the treasure recognizing its master!" Lin Zhen's eyes widened. Whether it's a High Grade Star Artifact or a Top Quality one, they usually can't recognize a master and can be used by anyone. They are considered lifeless objects.

Among the stars, Star Artifacts are considered standardized weapons and generally don't have uniqueness.

Only growing artifacts may have the possibility of recognizing a master, but Lin Zhen seldom heard of actively recognizing one. If the Lightning Wings actively recognized Lin Zhen as their master, it could only mean one thing Lin Zhen's attributes were too compatible with the Wings.

"Even though you are a High Grade Star Artifact, I will definitely cultivate you into something greater and let you accompany me forever!"

Lin Zhen waved his arms, twisted his body, and could hardly feel the existence of the Lightning Wings. He could only see a pair of hidden wings when he scanned his back with spiritual power.

With a single thought, the Lightning Wings emerged outside his back, not clashing with the Star Artifact armor or even damaging his clothes.

"Open!"

The huge wings unfolded, each extending over five meters long. They were as thin as cicada wings yet incredibly tough.

Lin Zhen rose into the sky, stepping on the clouds.

With a few flaps of the Lightning Wings behind him, Lin Zhen suddenly accelerated.

Hovering at high speed over the villa area and rising to a height of a thousand meters, Lin Zhen still felt like it wasn't enough.

"Although this speed is fast, it's still far from the Star Realm Experts. I haven't even reached the speed of sound yet. Since these are the Lightning Wings, I should be able to infuse my lightning and radiance powers."

"I currently have three types of elemental particles of lightning and radiance Lightning Ion, Lightning Photon, and Charged Particle. Let me try the power of

Lightning Ions first."

With a thought, Lin Zhen's Dark Star started to operate, and threads of power began entering the Lightning Wings.

Lin Zhen had already resonated with these two elements. With a thought, the Lightning Wings were immediately enhanced with elemental powers!

The power of lightning and radiance flickered on the Lightning Wings, and the speed instantly skyrocketed!

"Yahoo!"

Lin Zhen didn't expect it to be so fast, and he couldn't control it. He suddenly shot down from the sky towards the ground.

A little girl by the window of a distant villa saw a meteor falling from the sky and immediately prayed with her hands together: "There's another meteor falling. Oh, True God of the Stars, please protect Earth from any more catastrophes.."

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: The Secret of Lightning Wings (Third Update)

Translator: 549690339

After obtaining the Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen left Ice City the next day and headed to Yi Lan county town.

For Lin Zhen at present, Yi Lan posed no threat at all. Even if the A-level Mutant Beast, the giant palm bear, confronted him, Lin Zhen would easily kill it with a single shot.

The reason he came here was because no War God experts would come, so he could focus on studying the Lightning Wings in peace.

Three days later, on the top floor of a shopping mall in Yi Lan, Lin Zhen returned to the place where he had stayed before, and sat cross-legged on the rooftop.

The wings of the Lightning Wings unfolded behind him, and strands of lightning ion power entered them.

The Lightning Wings gently swayed behind Lin Zhen, with arcs of electricity leaping on them, a result of being nourished by the lightning ions.

"According to what I know from my previous life and my current research, I roughly understand that the Lightning Wings need to be nourished by elemental powers in order to advance. Only when each elemental power is saturated can it advance."

"This advancement is a long process. After my initial estimate, the Lightning Wings' advancement has about six stages."

"First is its current state, the initial state. After three days of effort, I have now injected some lightning ions, and its speed has reached the subsonic state. As long as it can accelerate to supersonic speed, it will enter the first stage."

"If I can fill it with the power of lightning ions, allowing it to reach saturation, and then inject charged particle power, its speed would probably increase to ten times the speed of sound. That would be the upgrade to the second stage; at that time, the Lightning Wings will be a top-quality Star Artifact."

The speed of sound is 340 meters per second. If the Lightning Wings advance to a top-quality Star Artifact, it could accelerate Lin Zhen by 3400 meters per second. By then, Lin Zhen's flying speed would be on par with his Black Ghost.

"This should only be the second stage. If I continue to nourish the Lightning

Wings with charged particles and break through with the power of Lightning Photons, it will continue to advance, reaching a hundred times the speed of sound. At that point, the Lightning Wings will move beyond being a mere Star

Artifact, advancing to the third stage and becoming a higher-level treasure."

At a hundred times the speed of sound, it can accelerate 34,000 meters per second, which is more than 30 kilometers. By then, it would be even faster than teleportation.

Of course, teleportation also has its advantages. As Lin Zhen's spiritual power continues to increase, the distance of teleportation will also grow longer, and its potential will be limitless, as well as more flexible.

"After the third stage, if I can saturate the Lightning Wings with the power of Lightning Photons and break through with the power of light molecules, it could reach a thousand times the speed of sound. It would be able to accelerate 340,000 meters per second, which is 300 kilometers. That would be the fourth stage. "

"The fifth stage should involve filling it with the power of light molecules and breaking through with the power of Lightning Quantum. By then, the power of the Lightning Wings could reach ten thousand times the speed of sound, also known as sub-light speed. It would accelerate 3-4 million meters per second, which is over 3,000 kilometers."

"The sixth stage should involve filling it with the power of Lightning Quantum and breaking through with the power of Light Quantum. At its peak, it should be able to achieve the speed of light, accelerating at 300,000 kilometers per second."

Lin Zhen couldn't help but smile at the thought of moving at the speed of light.

It took Lin Zhen three days, and he still needed some time for the Lightning Wings to reach the speed of sound. He didn't know how long it would take to complete the first stage, let alone reach the speed of light, but he still felt happy.

He wasn't afraid of a long cultivation time; he was only afraid of having no hope. As long as there was hope, Lin Zhen felt that he could sit still for a thousand years.

The Dark Star within his body slowly revolved, and strands of lightning ions overflowed from it, pouring into the Lightning Wings.

This was a long process. After three days, Lin Zhen finally felt that the Lightning Wings were showing a small breakthrough, almost reaching supersonic speed.

"I need to increase my output and strive to have the Lightning Wings reach supersonic speed today. Then, I will head to the Five Connected Pools as soon as possible. There are still three pools there that I haven't explored."

Now that he understood the nourishment process for the Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen began to accelerate the output of lightning ions. As long as he didn't consume all the lightning ions at once, they would continue to regenerate thanks to the Dark Star's existence.

On the edge of Yi Lan county town, a team of Martial Artists was marching with difficulty.

This was a standard team configuration, with three junior War Generals, two Level Nine Warriors. Their armored vehicle was parked on the edge of the county town, and several people were moving on foot.

After a bitter battle, several Mutant Deer had fallen at the feet of the team members, but they were also exhausted.

"Whew! What's going on? Lately, the Mutated Beasts have become more and more violent. The aggressiveness of these Mutant Deer wasn't so strong before. I feel like they're about to advance, not like C-level Mutant Beasts anymore."

"I feel it too. In the past two months, I've sensed something abnormal about the Mutated Beasts. Could it be that a monster is about to attack the city?"

"We wouldn't be afraid even if they attacked the city. Our Ice City is now as solid as a rock, not just because of our strong army, but also because of our numerous super War Gods. For example, Lin Zhen from our Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, I believe that as long as he's around, there will be no problem."

These martial artists all had the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall badge on their chests, showing pride on their faces.

Ever since Lin Zhen was promoted a few days ago and took first place in the preliminaries, the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall has become popular in the Ice City. Many martial artists joined, even some War Gods. Yang Jianying's face was full of joy, as accepting Lin Zhen was indeed the right decision.

The original warriors and war generals from Blue Sky also became more motivated. They felt superior when walking outside. If Lin Zhen could achieve good results in the War God's knockout, Blue Sky might be able to surpass Gale and become the number one martial arts hall in Ice City.

There were two Level Nine Warriors in the team, both of whom had recently joined Blue Sky after graduation. One was relatively quiet, the other more lively. Seeing several war generals discussing, he showed a look of envy: "Seniors, how old do you think Senior Lin Zhen is?"

"Are you from Mars? There are posters all over town now, and haven't you seen the one with the first place in the massacre list, Lin Zhen? He's the youngest and most handsome."

"Ah! So that's Lin Zhen? I've been too busy practicing these days and didn't notice. He looks so young, probably about my age." The student's face showed disbelief.

"How old are you this year?" A war general asked while smoking.

"I'm nineteen. I guess I'll break through to the War General Stage in about half a year." The student felt quite proud.

"Hmph, what's so great about being nineteen and not yet a war general? Senior Lin Zhen is only twenty years old now, and he's already a Fifth-level War God. This is unprecedented in the history of Ice City. At this stage, only the Saintess of Gods Clan can be compared with Lin Zhen."

"Twenty years old and already a Fifth-level War God? My God! Then he must have not compressed his Dantian Qi, right?"

"Bullshit! Without compressing Dantian Qi, can one be competitive in the World War God's Knockout? It is said that Senior Lin Zhen compressed ten times his Dantian Qi." The war general stretched out his hand, spreading his fingers, meaning ten times.

"This is unbelievable, compressing Dantian Qi is very time-consuming, how did he do that?" The warrior couldn't believe it.

"That's why they say he's a genius, bound to advance to the Star Realm, the hope of our Ice City. So, with Senior Lin Zhen here, there's no need to worry about monster attacks. It's more important for us to focus on practicing and making money. With the reputation of Blue Sky, no one would dare to provoke us in the Wilderness Area."

Just as they were engaged in a passionate discussion, a figure appeared on a small building nearby.

Hearing them repeatedly praising Lin Zhen, the person couldn't help but jump down from the building: "You all, shut up!"

The war generals and warriors were all startled. They quickly turned around and held their weapons, looking at the newcomer.

The newcomer was a Level Nine War God, holding a long sword with murderous intent in his eyes.

"Ah! You are Bai Feng!" Someone recognized the War God in front of them.

Generally, high-level War Gods rarely come to the Wilderness Area, preferring to explore ancient god relics. However, Bai Feng was different. He specialized in wandering around various Wilderness Areas, competing for food with war general and warrior level teams. He had been scolded by many behind his back.

But although they scolded Bai Feng, without provoking other War Gods, they couldn't blame him for being shameless, and didn't dare to confront him directly.

The war general who recognized Bai Feng stammered: "Senior Bai Feng, we didn't say anything bad about you."

"True, you didn't say anything bad about me, but it's not okay for you to praise Lin Zhen!"

Waving his sword angrily, Bai Feng shouted, "What the hell is Lin Zhen? He's just a despicable, shameless thief! I've looked into it. More than three years ago, Lin Zhen stole my hard-earned Dark Energy Stone in Yi Lan County. He laid out a confusing trail to mislead me. It's because of that Dark Energy Stone that he has achieved what he has today. By the time I found out, he had already gone to the God Generals Training Camp and has now advanced to the War God's Knockout. All this honor should have been mine, he is just a thief!"

Seeing Bai Feng's emotional outburst, the war generals and warriors didn't dare to speak, afraid of angering Bai Feng and risking a painful death.

Among the team, one of the quietest warriors suddenly burst out: "Nonsense! Three years ago, you were already a War God, and Senior Lin Zhen was just a warrior at that time. How could he have stolen from you? If you were able to be robbed, that means the item wasn't yours yet. You cannot insult my idol!"

Bai Feng was stunned, then looked at the warrior with a sneer: "Oh my! What a

courageous fool! What's your name? If you're so adamant in defending Lin Zhen, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"You dare not! My name is Wang Cheng, my classmates all call me Brother Cheng. I'm from Blue Sky, and so is Senior Lin Zhen. Aren't you afraid that Senior Lin will seek revenge?" The warrior showed no fear.

"Pah! Would I be afraid of that coward? Fine, I'll kill you today, let's see if Lin Zhen dares to take revenge!" With that, Bai Feng raised his sword, ready to strike!

The rest of the team was stunned. If Bai Feng took action, they wouldn't dare to interfere.

Bai Feng raised his sword but couldn't help covering his eyes with his hand. Suddenly, he felt that today's sunlight was particularly dazzling..

Chapter 236: Chapter 236: The Gift of Low-level Martial Artists (Fourth Update)

Translator: 549690339

Not only did Bai Feng see it, but several martial artists from Blue Sky also saw it.

In the distant sky, a streak of light was rushing at high speed!

"Holy shit! It's a meteor! Take cover!"

A martial artist shouted and began running away.

The rest of them also tried to escape frantically, but a wave of despair filled their hearts. No matter how fast they ran, could they really outrun a meteor? This was just bad luck, and their deaths would be too unjust.

However, Bai Feng's heart was slightly more stable than the others. Being a Level Nine War God with triple compressed Dantian Qi, the meteor might be powerful, but it wasn't necessarily that fast. As long as he avoided the center of the meteor's impact, he might even find some valuable meteorites.

Ignoring Wang Cheng, Bai Feng jumped onto a small building by the roadside.

However, the meteor came diving at him with great speed, its target very clearly being him.

"That's not a meteor! It's a person!"

Bai Feng yelled loudly and could vaguely see the face of the person. It looked like Lin Zhen!

And Lin Zhen seemed to be saying something.

Bai Feng instinctively raised his sword to face the enemy, but before he could lift his hand, he was hit hard in the abdomen!

"Ugh!"

Bai Feng bent over like a shrimp, and only then did he hear Lin Zhen's words:

"Dare to bully our Blue Sky people, you're courting death!"

Bai Feng collapsed weakly to the ground, pondering a question in his head: Why had he seen Lin Zhen's mouth move, but only heard his words after being knocked down?

Lin Zhen didn't remember Bai Feng well, but he had no good feelings towards such wilderness War Gods.

As a War God, if he didn't explore the ancient God's ruins or pursue a higher realm, that would be fine, but bullying War Generals and Warriors in the Wilderness Area was truly despicable.

Generallv, when War Gods went to the Wilderness Area, unless there were

S-level Mutated Beasts appearing, they would form teams to hunt. A-level Mutant Beasts couldn't even interest War Gods, as there were so many in the ancient God's ruins.

For War Gods like Bai Feng, who bullied War Generals and even Warrior level beings, it was quite rare.

The Lightning Wings behind Lin Zhen retracted, and the impressive appearance from earlier disappeared. He turned to look at the Warriors and War Generals who were still in shock: "Are all of you from Blue Sky?"

"Ah! Lin…Senior Lin Zhen!" A few people stammered. Seeing the legendary figure here suddenly made it hard for them to think straight.

Lin Zhen didn't reject the title. In the martial arts world, titles were based on strength, not age. Lin Zhen was a War God, so they should respectfully address him as Senior. Besides, Lin Zhen's mental age was much older than theirs.

Even people like Zhao Liang should actually call Lin Zhen senior when they saw him, but everyone had gotten familiar with each other, so it didn't matter what they called him.

Just now, Lin Zhen had upgraded his Lightning Wings to the first stage, doubling his speed to supersonic. Feeling good, he smiled and asked, "How's it going? Are you satisfied with the harvest here?"

"Thank you for your concern, Senior. It's not bad. It's only our second day out, and when we go back, everyone will get a few hundred thousand." A War General answered with utmost respect and fear.

"Mmm, keep up the good work. Yi Lan should still have a good harvest, but don't be reckless. Team up to hunt B-level Mutant Beasts and pay attention to cooperation. Remember to stay away from the lairs of A-level Mutant Beasts, which you cannot handle."

"Senior, rest assured, we usually don't provoke B-level ones. Now, we are mainly training newcomers. When the two of them are promoted to War

General and we all develop a good rapport, we will go and hunt B-level Mutant Beasts."

"Good, keep it up. Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall's future depends on you."

"As long as Senior is here, our Blue Sky will definitely flourish!" The young Level Nine Warrior said with excitement all over his face, clearly idolizing Lin

Zhen.

"What's your name?" Lin Zhen asked casually.

"Senior, my name is Wang Cheng." The warrior was excited to be asked a question by his idol.

"Hehe, I think I heard you call yourself 'Big Brother Cheng' earlier. How about I call you that too?" Lin Zhen teased.

"No… I dare not. That's just, you know, to boost my courage." Wang Cheng became a little embarrassed.

"It's all right; it's just a title. I heard what you said to defend me before, and I appreciate the thought. I'll give this to you, hoping you'll make some progress."

As he said this, Lin Zhen took out a lower grade Star Artifact, a long sword, from his space ring.

Although it was the worst of the lower grade Star Artifacts that Lin Zhen owned, it was still a priceless treasure for these warriors.

"A Star Artifact!" The martial artists stared in disbelief.

Senior Lin Zhen was so generous, giving away a Star Artifact just like that. Wang Cheng, just a warrior, would only attract trouble by owning such a treasure.

"Senior… this is too… too precious. I'm afraid…"

Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Lin Zhen realized that his actions were indeed inappropriate. It was like Li Tianhao: holding a Star Artifact without the strength would only bring trouble.

But it would be impolite to take back what he had given, so Lin Zhen glanced around and grabbed the still twitching Bai Feng.

With a focused gaze, he cast a Soul Lock.

Lin Zhen's Soul Lock was a shackle placed within the opponent's Spiritual

Consciousness Sea. There was no limit to its usage, and onlv a hizher-level Spiritual Mind Master who specialized in Soul Lock could undo it. At present, there may be only a few people on Earth who can do this.

Bai Feng had been incapacitated by Lin Zhen and was completely powerless to resist Soul Lock, easily falling prey to it.

"Master!" Bai Feng spoke. Lin Zhen had imposed a master-servant relationship on him. There was no need to be friends with someone like him.

"Listen, I should have taken your life, but now that there is someone to protect here, you can follow this team in the future. Protect them secretly and only act when it is crucial, especially this Wang Cheng."

"Rest assured, Master, Bai Feng will not fail you."

"Alright, when you go back, join Blue Sky." Lin Zhen commanded him.

Seeing Lin Zhen easily subdue a Level Nine War God, the members of the team were almost envious to death of Wang Cheng.

Just a few words of praise got him a Star Artifact and a Level Nine War God as a bodyguard. They should have praised Lin Zhen more if only they had known.

Unfortunately, there were no second chances, so they could only be envious.

For Lin Zhen, it was just a trivial matter. He was ready to leave immediately, but Bai Feng said, "Master, the mutated beasts in Yi Lan have been acting strangely lately. They seem to have become much more violent. According to my experience, it's possible that a high-level Mutant Beast is about to appear."

Lin Zhen nodded silently. It had been less than half a year since Ice City fell.

The monster siege back then was led by a high-level Mutated Beast, wasn't it?

However, no one would believe this if he told them. Lin Zhen's current strength wasn't enough to deal with high -level Mutated Beasts, so he could only focus on increasing his power as quickly as possible.

"I know, be careful, everyone."

Wang Cheng's eyes were moist with gratitude, and he didn't know how to repay Lin Zhen. In his excitement, he rummaged through his backpack and finally found a book.

"Senior Lin Zhen, I bought this book online once. Some of the questions in it are very interesting, but I don't quite understand them, so I'm giving it to you."

Lin Zhen took the book and looked at it. The title was, "On the Strengths and

Weaknesses of Laser Weapons and Martial Artist Elemental Forces."

Lin Zhen smiled. Was that even a question? Laser guns were not so easy to develop, and even if they were developed in the future, their usefulness would be limited. Their power was not only limited, but martial artists could also dodge or block them based on various conditions, especially since they were operated by humans and had many weaknesses.

However, since it was a gift from Wang Cheng, Lin Zhen accepted it.

Nodding to Wang Cheng, Lin Zhen stepped up into the sky. The Black Ghost appeared and entered the cockpit directly. The aircraft disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wang Cheng silently watched the sky, vowing to take Lin Zhen as his goal and become an admirable Martial Artist.

After leaving Yi Lan, Lin Zhen did not go directly to the Five Connected Pools.

The technology department has not yet announced the secret of the Poison Insect Crystal, so Lin Zhen still has some time.

Besides, he currently had quite a few A-level Mutant Beast Crystals, which should be enough to cultivate him to the Sixth-level Peak.

The question on his mind was, what should he do if he encountered Huo Luofu at the War God's Knockout?

Even with the acceleration of the Lightning Wings, their prowess would be limited in front of Huo Luofu's Gravity Field. After all, the War God's Knockout was just a competition, not a large space that allowed him to use his abilities freely.

In his previous life in the interstellar world, Lin Zhen also encountered experts with Gravity Fields. There are several ways to deal with them.

The easiest method was to overpower them with strength. As long as your

strength, speed, and Dantian Qi surpassed your opponent, you could break the Gravity Field with sheer force. However, Lin Zhen could not achieve that level of power just yet.

Another method was even more outrageous, requiring the martial artist to master a stronger Gravity Field to suppress the opponent. Lin Zhen was even more incapable of this.

The most reliable way for the weak to defeat a strong Gravity Field was to master a powerful attack, breaking the field with the sharpest attack possible. This was similar to how Lin Zhen broke the Space Barrier when he tore through the spatial cracks.

Lin Zhen had many techniques at his disposal, such as his unique Lightning and Light powers and peerless Spiritual Power, but they were useless against Huo Luofu.

His fourth-level Lightning River was sufficient for dealing with ordinary War Gods.

However, when it came to his most powerful attack, he did not currently have one. Perhaps the Waterfall could be considered one, but its power was still somewhat lacking.

The Black Ghost emitted a cloud mist, hovering in the mist without being detected. Lin Zhen sat on the Black Ghost, the breeze fluttering by and the Lightning Wings gently flapping behind him. The power of the Lightning Ions still constantly nourished them.

He held his phone and browsed the items for sale online, focusing on gun techniques, but he couldn't find the fifth layer of the Nine Layers Spear River.

"If I had the fifth layer of the Spear River, the Overturning River, I would basically be able to break Huo Luofu's Gravity Field. Unfortunately, there's no fifth layer for sale at the moment."

"If I can't break the Gravity Field, even if I advance to an Advanced War God in the Five Connected Pools, I will still be destined to lose against Huo Luofu in the War God's Knockout. That is unless I can possess a powerful offensive technique, one that's strong enough in a single move."

"At present, I possess light and electricity, two similar elemental powers, but I cannot truly integrate the two elements to create an explosive attack. When I broke the Space Barrier, it was because the barrier had already been cracked several times and was quite weak."

"How can the two elements be combined to harness a powerful joint strike?"

Lin Zhen lay back on the Black Ghost, the Lightning Wings gently flapping. After thinking for a while, he became bored and checked his Space Ring. The first thing he saw was the book Wang Cheng had just given him..

Chapter 237: Chapter 237 Photon-Electric Combined Strike, Lin Zhen's Martial Skills! (First update)

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen picked up Wang Cheng's book and casually flipped through it.

But soon, a passage in the book caught Lin Zhen's attention.

"It is generally believed that even if laser weapons were to be successfully developed, they would not be able to compete with the elemental forces of martial artists. However, I think that laser weapons still have their unique advantages."

"If we could apply elemental forces to laser weapons, we could then launch various elemental energy guns and energy cannons. Not only would they be effective against people, but also against flying saucers."

"On the other hand, if martial artists utilize their elemental forces and adjust them based on the principles of lasers, they could also unleash immense power."

Afterward, there was a long section about the principles of lasers, elemental principles, and other professional knowledge that was dizzying to read.

At this point, a thought suddenly struck Lin Zhen.

"Elemental combination attack!"

"Light and electricity are elements with similar forces. Their combined use is unlikely to produce explosive attack effects. Moreover, I have currently mastered two types of electric elements but only one type of light element, so there is no balance between them."

"If I rely solely on the fusion attack of lightning ions and charged particles, the speed will be there, but the power will be much weaker. I must incorporate lightning photons, but doing so will make the lightning power strong and the light power weak. Unless I master the power of light molecules now, there will be room for development only when both forces reach a balance."

"Here comes the issue of the integration and development of elements. Unless I add a third element to trigger reactions among them and explode them out with Dantian Qi, I can definitely form a powerful explosive attack!"

"How to do this?"

Lin Zhen sat silently on the Black Ghost, the sky approaching dusk, motionless, with only the Lightning Wings slowly flapping.

His spiritual power slowly sank into his body, roaming through his limbs.

In his Dantian, the surging Dantian Qi was raging like tidal waves. As a Fifth-level War God, his Dantian Qi had become incredibly powerful and was gradually consolidating into a Qi vortex, although this process was lengthy.

As long as the Qi vortex condenses, he will enter the Star Realm.

Above the ocean of Dantian Qi, a Dark Star floated.

If this was a world, it would seem as if the Dark Star had been there since the beginning of time.

Inside it, Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Lightning Power, Radiant Power, and a trace of cold air all existed.

Of course, it also emitted a tiny gravitational force.

Lin Zhen's spiritual power stopped above the Dark Star.

He saw the trace of cold air!

"That's right! I forgot about this thing. This thread of cold air was formed when I absorbed too much of the snowstorm's power while condensing the Dark Star in Zhao Dong. It has been injected into the Dark Star since then and has been continuously growing stronger with the rotation of the Dark Star."

"Now my light power is weak, and the foundation for a light and electricity combined attack is lacking. I can only rely on a third element to compensate.

Isn't this cold air the third element?"

"Although it's almost impossible for me to truly master it in a short time, I can completely wrap it in light power to achieve a conflicting effect. After all, the cold air is in the Dark Star, so I can guide and use it."

As soon as Lin Zhen thought about this, he immediately stood up. With a flap of his Lightning Wings, his body ascended into the clouds.

Lin Zhen had always been a man of action. He stood on top of the clouds, and the Dark Star began to rotate within his body.

The power of light and electricity surged out from the Dark Star, wrapping a strand of cold air.

But for the first time, Lin Zhen couldn't even bring them out of his Dantian. The cold air surged within the light and electricity, and the two elements were not of the same kind. Moreover, the cold air had not resonated with Lin Zhen and was not easily controlled. As soon as it lost the carrier of the Dark Star, it twisted a few times and dissipated in the ocean of Dantian Qi.

Lin Zhen was somewhat unconvinced. The second time, he was much more cautious, and this time he successfully brought out a strand of cold air.

However, it only lasted a few steps longer than before and still dissipated.

"It won't work. The power control is not even, and the protection is not tight enough. Light and electricity must form a balance with the cold air so that it won't break apart and dissipate."

This time, Lin Zhen became much more cautious and started to attempt to move a small amount of light and electricity with a tiny bit of cold air wrapped inside.

He failed once, twice!

Ten times, a hundred times!

Gradually, the night of Ice City fell again, and the surrounding sky gradually darkened. Only Lin Zhen remained in the clouds, his Lightning Wings flapping nonstop, like the wings of angels descending into the night.

Lin Zhen didn't know how many attempts he had made, but eventually, he mastered the correct way to produce a bit of cold air.

By this time, it was already midnight.

An energy ball of light and electricity appeared in Lin Zhen's hand, twinkling like a star in the night sky.

He gently lifted his palm, and the energy ball in his hand seemed to be flowing.

This energy ball contained half of the lightning power, a quarter of the light power, and a quarter of the cold air.

However, this energy ball could only be used at close range, and its lethality was not particularly significant. To unleash its true potential, Lin Zhen still needed to employ an attack method to release it.

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the Broken Jade Spear appeared in his grip. "I haven't used this Star Weapon Spear before. I'll use it for an experiment today."

Lin Zhen's Dantian energy started to circulate, and the power of the energy ball was immediately added to the spear.

Thrust!

Lin Zhen stabbed with his spear, but halfway through the energy flow, it dissipated in the air.

"Still not enough, I need to be more decisive."

Lin Zhen's spiritual power entered his Dantian again. He formed another energy ball in the same way as before.

Once again, he added the energy ball to the spear and tried to thrust, but the result was still a failure.

After numerous trials, it was almost dawn, and Lin Zhen had lost count of how many times he had failed. He could not figure out the combined attack method.

"This is not just a problem of being unskilled, but rather my control over the elements is still lacking. Without resonating with the cold energy, it is difficult to perform this combined attack."

Lin Zhen sat cross-legged on the cloud once again, looking up at the starry sky and trying to find the mistakes in his plight.

Sometimes he would stand up, wielding his spear, and a wave of energy scattered in all directions, causing the clouds in the sky to scatter. Fortunately, it was only at night in the wilderness, and no one could discover it.

At other times, he would sit down, relying on the flapping of Lightning Wings to keep from falling off the cloud, while scratching his head and pondering.

"Why can't my energy concentrate? Star Artifacts can guide energy, is it because I care too much about the original techniques?"

"It should be. The energy explosion is not Spear Art, but it can unleash greater power. Calmness should be emphasized when using it. I am now restless and can't find the true essence."

Lin Zhen steadied himself, his soul power unusually strong, allowing him to easily calm his mind.

He forced his restless heart to calm down; the chaos in the sea of clouds around him gradually returned to its original state.

After an unknown amount of time, a hint of white fish belly appeared in the east.

The white fish belly gradually turned into a faint red color, signaling the imminent arrival of the sun.

Gradually, a ray of light finally broke through the sea of clouds, bringing forth a golden rainbow that stretched across the sky.

It appeared and was then covered by the cloud mist, disappearing from sight.

But that ray of light shone on Lin Zhen's face.

"Huh! I figured it out!"

"Laser! A laser beam is an energy beam. I was too focused on the energy explosion before, but I overlooked the fact that concentrating energy will unleash its maximum power. Only by concentrating energy on a single point can it be maximized!"

Lin Zhen stood up immediately, took several deep breaths, and his Lightning Wings flapped a few times, allowing him to soar freely in the cloud layer for a while.

After reaching the speed of sound with Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen could fly nearly 400 meters per second, an incredibly fast speed on land, but not so fast in the clouds.

Lin Zhen returned to the cloud above the Black Ghost, just as the day began to dawn. It was the best time of day with abundant energy in the high altitude. He felt that his condition had never been better.

He once again transferred his spiritual power into his Dantian and then into the Dark Star.

With the already calculated proportion in mind, Lin Zhen easily created an energy ball.

This basketball-sized energy ball, filled with dazzling electric particles and lightning power, was accompanied by rolling cold air, clearly revealing its immense power.

With a flap of the Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen soared to an even higher altitude.

"Speed up, speed up, speed up!"

Lightning ions flashed on the lightning wings. Lin Zhen was like a divine eagle soaring through the darkness before dawn, weaving through the sea of clouds.

The clouds surged around him, the energy ball in his hand.

Lin Zhen suddenly added energy to the Broken Jade spear, which he held firmly in one hand.

"Come on, let me try it. Let me try my first self-invented technique in this life. This is unique to me!"

Lin Zhen's speed soared to the limit, rushing towards the east with the wind at his ear.

The Broken Jade spear in his hand quivered, with electric arcs bursting from his palm.

Here, in the vast sea of clouds, there was no specific target in front of Lin Zhen's eyes, but in his heart, the sky was his target.

"Explode! Let's see, with my Light and Lightning combined attack, I can pierce through the surface, surely I can break through Huo Luofu's Gravity Field!" Surrounded by rolling clouds, Lin Zhen stabbed with his spear!

At this moment, the eastern sun finally broke through the sea of clouds, a golden beam illuminating the horizon, and a golden mist painted the dark clouds.

Under Lin Zhen's spear, a small sun burst into existence as well. A golden energy beam shot out, penetrating layers of clouds and shooting straight into the sky, competing with the sunlight!

Next to that beam of energy, at the spear tip's explosion point, Lin Zhen could vaguely see a trace of a black spatial rift suddenly appearing!

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Two Special Meteorites

Translator: 549690339

Watching the streak of light vanish into the sky, Lin Zhen stood blankly in the air, feeling a surge of excitement in his heart.

He did it!

With his relentless effort, Lin Zhen had finally created a unique battle technique of his own.

He even saw a tiny crack opening in space after he unleashed his attack!

It should be noted that this place was not the same as the space within the Star Fruit Tree which had been broken open multiple times and thus loosened. The space here had extremely stable cracks that Lin Zhen had only ever seen in the top Quasi-Star Realm and Star Realm experts, who had the ability to tear through space.

It could be said that a fifth-level War God like him using such an attack was unprecedented.

"This attack, which combines lightning, light, and freezing air, should have a unique name."

"Let's call it Thunder Kill, after all, half of its energy is lightning, and a quarter of it consists of charged particles, so it's very fitting."

Having just learned this technique and still being unfamiliar with it, Lin Zhen was like a miner who had found treasure. For the next few days, he didn't leave the sky and repeatedly tested it, from gathering energy to applying it. He practiced how to use it more efficiently and faster. It took him three more days to completely master Thunder Kill, a powerful offensive technique.

"Now, I should go to the Five Connected Pools. In less than three months, the War God's Knockout elimination round will take place. I must advance my realm before then to have a better competitive edge. After all, I still don't know the actual strength of the ace fighters from other countries. If a hidden expert emerges, it's easy to fail because of my low realm."

Entering the Black Ghost, Lin Zhen flew towards the Five Connected Pools.

It was still the same guard, and Lin Zhen paid the one million entry fee to go in.

The broken landscape of Dragon Gate Stone Village came into view. This time, Lin Zhen didn't stay here. With the beating of his lightning wings behind him, he dashed towards the distant volcano lake at a speed of nearly four hundred meters per second.

Two minutes later, Lin Zhen arrived at the junction of Yan Mountain Lake and White Dragon Lake.

Yan Mountain Lake is the second largest lake of the Five Connected Pools, and White Dragon Lake is the third largest. The lakes are vast with very low visibility due to the thick fog above them.

Seeing the fog lingering above the lake, Lin Zhen dared not continue flying and descended to the ground.

According to the legends from the AD era, there was a white dragon in White Dragon Lake. However, after the exploration of the extraterrestrial civilization, it was discovered that there were no dragons here, only white pythons.

These pythons were already enormous and highly toxic before mutating. They were already quite powerful pre-mutation, and although they did not reach the S-level post-mutation, they were far more formidable than regular A-level mutated beasts.

Whether mutated beasts or mutated poisonous insects, the gap between A-level and S-level is significant. Some creatures that are already powerful before mutation form a unique group. Their crystals are more potent than A-level crystals but not as powerful as S-level crystals. These creatures are classified as Quasi-S-tier, just like the Quasi-Star Realm between the War God Peak and the Star Realm.

Absorbing the crystals of these Quasi-S- tier creatures can advance an advanced War God to the Quasi-Star Realm.

Although Lin Zhen didn't need this kind of crystal right now, he still wanted to see the situation at White Dragon Lake.

As far as he knew, there was a special meteorite called "Domineering Stone" at the bottom of White Dragon Lake.

This meteorite contained a large amount of life energy, which could strengthen a martial artist's body, giving them more power, and faster reaction speed without increasing their level.

If the spiritual power meteorite is the treasure of Spiritual Mind Masters, then this domineering meteorite could be considered the cherished dream of all martial artists.

Lin Zhen didn't obtain the power and speed Star Crystals in the Star Fruit Tree which left him feeling slightly regretful. However, those two things combined still paled in comparison to the value of the Domineering Stone.

"I have to get this Domineering Stone. Power isn't my strong suit, which puts me at a considerable disadvantage in future fights. With the meteorite, I will no longer have any weaknesses in close combat. Not all battles can be won with cunning; power, speed, and nerve reactions are the basis of a martial artist.

Without power, even the best battle techniques can't achieve their full effect."

But when Lin Zhen arrived at the edge of White Dragon Lake, he felt a strong pungent smell.

"No good! This fog is poisonous!"

Lin Zhen quickly retreated, feeling slightly dizzy as he looked at the rolling fog in front of him.

Although he stepped back, Lin Zhen's clothes were still contaminated with some fog, which caused a black mist to appear on them, and a hole to rot away right before his eyes!

Lin Zhen activated the Spiritual Barrier and went in again, but the barrier was trembling under the erosion of the poisonous fog, causing his spiritual power consumption to increase by dozens of times instantly!

"This poison is really overbearing. I have to see what's going on here?" Lin Zhen hurriedly retracted the Spiritual Barrier, shook off his sleeve, picked up the Broken Jade Spear, and fired a Thunder Kill beam with a wave of his hand!

The beam was like a flash of lightning, shooting directly into the lake. As it passed, the fog momentarily dispersed and then quickly closed in again.

Through the path the beam created, Lin Zhen saw two or three huge white pythons writhing, sticking their heads out of the water as if they were breathing on the water's surface.

"I understand now. This is the poisonous fog produced by the white water pythons. Over time, it has enveloped the entire White Dragon Lake. To enter White Dragon Lake, we must break through this fog."

Lin Zhen slowly paced near the water, considering methods to detoxify the fog.

Martial Artists can hold their breath, but in this highly toxic environment, even the skin can be easily eroded by the toxic gas. Holding one's breath is not a long-term solution, especially when there are Quasi-S-tier water pythons lurking in the lake, and battles must be fought underwater. In this environment, finding the meteorite is almost a delusion.

Moreover, some detoxifying drugs available in the market are virtually ineffective against this thick fog.

"It seems that I need to consider the fourth Crane Lake."

Lin Zhen's thoughts turned to the fourth Crane Lake.

Crane Lake is said to have been a resting place for immortal cranes, but now it's unlikely that there will be any immortal cranes left. Even if there were, they would have become mutated birds devouring flesh and blood.

It is said that the poisonous insects in Crane Lake are S-level, a giant mutated poisonous scorpion.

These poisonous scorpions not only live on land but can also dwell in water, and even have wings to fly.

The mutated creatures have sharp teeth, massive pincers, and a tail equipped with a spike sharper than a long spear carrying deadly poison. Coupled with their thick shells, they hardly have any weaknesses.

As an S-level mutated poisonous insect, this amphibious scorpion is a nightmare for Martial Artists. Fortunately, the poisonous insects in ancient divine sites don't venture into the outside world; otherwise, if these poisonous scorpions were to swarm in large numbers, Ice City Base City would have long become history.

In that legendary expedition to the Five Connected Pools, it was said that each of the members of the elite War God team reached the peak of the War God level, and there were even several quasi-Star Realm experts among them. Having fought together for years, their combat power was incredibly formidable. They made it through the poisonous fog area of White Dragon Lake and reached Crane Lake, but of the ten elite War Gods, only one managed to escape, meeting defeat at the hands of the poisonous scorpions.

Swarms of S-level mutated beasts are practically unstoppable, even for a quasi-Star Realm expert. Even typical Star Realm experts would have to take a detour.

The reason Lin Zhen wanted to try his luck at Crane Lake was because of a unique meteorite at the bottom of the lake.

The Cinnabar Stone!

In the past life, the Cinnabar Stone was also found by Extraterrestrial Civilizations. It is said that the meteorite's whole body is blood-red, similar to cinnabar. When absorbed, it generates strong antibodies within the human body, making it immune to all poisons.

After obtaining the Cinnabar Stone, breaking through the poisonous fog in White Dragon Lake would no longer be difficult.

But the more Lin Zhen thought about it, the more troublesome it seemed. With his current strength, he couldn't even break through the poisonous fog of

White Dragon Lake. Even if he were to activate a protective barrier and use Lightning Wings to teleport quickly, how could he deal with the situation at Crane Lake?

How could he single-handedly confront swarms of amphibious mutated poisonous scorpions?

At the thought of the overwhelming S-level mutated beasts, Lin Zhen shook his head. It was definitely not something he could handle at the moment.

Without going to Crane Lake, he couldn't obtain the Cinnabar Stone; without the Cinnabar Stone, he couldn't break through the poison fog here; and without breaking through the poison fog, he couldn't get the Domineering Stone. It appeared to be a deadlock, leaving Lin Zhen at a loss for the moment.

"Forget it! Let's stop thinking about it for now. I'll cultivate here in the Five

Connected Pools. There are still plenty of A-level mutated beast crystals here.

I'll advance to the Sixth-level Peak first."

Lin Zhen didn't try to break into White Dragon Lake again but retreated to the area near Yan Mountain Lake, beginning to hunt the rampant crabs there.

Although the A-level rampant crabs were powerful, he only attracted a few at a time with the speed of his Lightning Wings. Taking them down one by one, he collected their crystals.

After gathering ten crystals each time, Lin Zhen combined them with a concoction to form a substitute for Dark Energy Stones.

Now that he had advanced to the Fifth-level War God, the absorption speed of A-level crystals had increased significantly.

He absorbed them ten at a time, each session expanding Lin Zhen's Dantian Qi

Sea.

Four days into the Five Connected Pools, Lin Zhen advanced from Fifth-level Early Stage to Middle Stage.

By the tenth day, he advanced from Middle Stage to Late Stage.

In half a month, Lin Zhen absorbed almost a thousand crystals and advanced from the Fifth-level Late Stage to the Fifth-level Peak.

"This is incredibly fast. In less than a week, I should be able to advance to the Sixth-level War God. When I reach the Sixth-level Peak, I'll think about how to break through the poison fog's blockade and sneak into the bottom of the lake.

It's still better to get the Domineering Stone first because getting the Execution Stone won't be very feasible since there are S-level mutated beasts there."

By now, twenty days had passed since the War God's Knockout pre-selection. Two significant events occurred in the world.

The first event was the siege of the Amazon Base City in Brazil by powerful mutated beasts.

A giant hundred-meter-long forest python appeared, breaking the highest S-level limit for terrestrial beasts and reaching SS-level. Under its command, countless high-level mutated beasts surged forward, and the Brazilian defenders were helpless. Not even a Star Realm expert could stop the forest python. Since the War God Alliance hadn't been fully formed yet, no War Gods went to their rescue, and the Amazon Base City fell.

The second event was that Hua Xia, the United States, the European Union, Sand Russia, and several other countries nearly simultaneously discovered that the poison insect crystals combined with certain potions could replace the Dark Energy Stones in function..

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: Yue Zhenhua's Arrival (Third Update)

Translator: 549690339

After research, it has been proven that the crystals of mutated poisonous insects, when combined with certain drugs, will emit energy that can be absorbed by War Gods in the War God Period, replacing Dark Energy Stones!

The crystals of B-level mutated poisonous insects can be absorbed by Primary War Gods, while the crystals of A-level mutated poisonous insects can be absorbed by Intermediate War Gods.

The crystals of Quasi-S-tier can be absorbed by Advanced War Gods.

And the crystals of S-level mutated poisonous insects can be absorbed by those in the Quasi-Star Realm.

As soon as this news was released, it immediately caused a sensation, even overshadowing the news of Amazon Base City being attacked by mutated beasts.

It is well known that Dark Energy Stones have always been in short supply, and no matter how many there are, it's never enough. Most martial artists progress step by step, and even if some resources are available on the market, they are quickly sold out.

Now that this news has been released, ancient god ruins with mutated poisonous insects have become extremely popular. Many War Gods have flocked to the nearby ancient god ruins, hoping to obtain the crystals of the poisonous insects.

As for the Five Connected Pools, the admission fee has skyrocketed a hundred-fold, now reaching one billion!

Although this has caused dissatisfaction among many War Gods, there are still quite a few who have come, even if it means borrowing money to enter. Money is not a matter, as long as there is strength, no amount of money is a problem.

The Five Connected Pools, an ancient god ruins site, is the only place in the Northern Region where a large number of mutated poisonous insects can be found. Not only will War Gods from Ice City Base City come, but even some from the Capital will also come.

Upon receiving the news, Tong Yuehu immediately received a call from Yue

Zhenhua.

Since he had been eliminated in the preliminaries of the War God's Knockout, Tong Yuehu had been a little uneasy when facing Yue Zhenhua. After receiving

Yue Zhenhua's call, he nervously said, "Chief Master."

"Have you seen the news released by the Ministry of Technology?" Yue Zhenhua asked.

"Yes, we now have hope for the War Gods to advance."

"What is the situation at the Five Connected Pools?"

"Chief Master, there are a total of five volcanic lakes in the Five Connected Pools, each more difficult to explore than the last. The first two volcanic lakes are called Lotus Lake and Yan Mountain Lake which are filled with A-level mutated poisonous insects. The third volcanic lake is called White Dragon Lake, where the mutated poisonous insects are said to be Quasi-S-tier."

Yue Zhenhua did not speak but continued to listen to Tong Yuehu's introduction.

"Beyond White Dragon Lake is the fourth lake called Crane Lake, where the poisonous insects are said to be S-tier. If we can obtain the crystals of S-level mutated poisonous insects, they can be absorbed by those in the Quasi-Star Realm."

Yue Zhenhua hummed and said, "And what about the fifth lake?"

"The fifth lake is called Ruyi Lake. However, previous exploration teams have only explored as far as the fourth lake, which is full of S-level mutated poisonous insects. So far, no one has explored the fifth lake, so we don't know the specific situation there."

"Crane Lake already has S-tier mutated poisonous insects…" Yue Zhenhua pondered for a moment and then said to Tong Yuehu, "I heard that Lin Zhen has been to the Five Connected Pools."

"Ah! That's right!" Tong Yuehu suddenly realized why Lin Zhen had advanced so quickly. He found the secret of the Five Connected Pools, which was why he advanced from a Third Level War God to a Fifth-level War God in just three months. It must have been for this reason.

Yue Zhenhua continued, "There are three months left until the rematch of the War God's Knockout. Whether it's to help me break through to the Star Realm or to find an opportunity to kill Lin Zhen, I must personally visit the Five

Connected Pools."

"Master is coming here?" Tong Yuehu asked.

"Yes, I will arrive tomorrow and bring someone with me. You find two more people, and we will form a small team to enter the Five Connected Pools together! "

"We warmly welcome Master's arrival!" Tong Yuehu guaranteed like a little soldier.

Yue Zhenhua arrived quickly in Ice City Wind Martial Arts Pavilion. The very next day, his aircraft landed in the courtyard just as the sky was beginning to brighten.

Tong Yuehu had already made preparations to welcome him, standing at the door with his two subordinates, Ma Yao and Wei Li.

The cabin door of the aircraft opened, and Yue Zhenhua stepped out, followed by a martial artist named He Liu from Capital Base City's Gale.

He Liu was at the Peak of Level Nine and appeared to be close to reaching the Quasi-Star Realm. He followed behind Yue Zhenhua with a very arrogant look, only slightly raising his eyebrows when he saw Tong Yuehu and the others.

Tong Yuehu approached Yue Zhenhua and said, "Chief Master, as per your request, we have prepared our people. Ma Yao, Wei Li, and I will join you."

"Hmm, very good. At least there are no mediocre people. With He Liu and me, the five of us will be a small team. It's best to enter the ancient god ruins as a team, at least it makes sense when we have to fight."

"Yes, Master's thoughtfulness is appreciated. Shall we set off now?"

"We can set off now. Last night, I specifically researched the situation in the Five Connected Pools and made many preparations. This time, we must obtain a large number of Quasi-S-tier crystals, so that a large number of our Gale's Advanced War Gods can advance. We absolutely cannot lose the title of the number one martial arts hall!"

Since the last donation incident, Gale's reputation has been somewhat damaged, and some people even say that Gale will soon lose its position as the number one martial arts hall.

Yue Zhenhua was quite apprehensive, so he didn't dare to pull any more stunts. The martial hall had to become strong to convince people, so he placed high hopes on the trip to the Five Connected Pools. As long as he could acquire a large number of Quasi-S-tier crystals, he could regain confidence in front of Chen Fenglie and secure his position as hall master.

Tong Yuehu agreed, taking Ma Yao and Wei Li along with Yue Zhenhua to leave together.

As he turned around, Yue Zhenhua looked back and asked, "Where's Lin Zhen?"

Tong Yuehu was stunned and didn't know where Lin Zhen was during this time. He couldn't answer Yue Zhenhua's question.

"Trash!"

Yue Zhenhua snorted coldly, turned around and boarded the aircraft. He Liu followed closely, and Tong Yuehu originally thought that as the hall master of Ice City, he should be in the second position. However, He Liu blocked his way immediately.

Tong Yuehu wasn't a pushover though, so he tried to push He Liu away. However, when the two of them clashed, Tong Yuehu actually fell!

He Liu looked at Tong Yuehu and snorted coldly, "It's a good thing you were eliminated in the qualifiers, otherwise you would have embarrassed us Gale again in the knockout competition. What a useless thing!"

Tong Yuehu looked incredulously at He Liu as he boarded the aircraft, unable to believe that there was such a significant gap between himself and He Liu, both Level Nine War Gods.

Yue Zhenhua glanced back at Tong Yuehu, "Old Tong, you dare to compete with

He Liu? He is the future hope of our Gale. Even Mr. Chen Fenglie has met with

He Liu and praised his limitless potential. When I advance to the Star Realm, He Liu will be the hall master of the Gale, your superior. Even I wouldn't dare say I could beat him now, and you trying to provoke him is just asking for humiliation."

Only then did Tong Yuehu look at He Liu with a shocked expression, realizing that he was a future Gale hall master.

"Mr. He… I… I just now…" Tong Yuehu stammered, trying to apologize, but He

Liu coldly snorted, "Talk less, and hurry up if you want to go."

"Yes, yes, right away."

Tong Yuehu no longer dared to say anything and boarded Yue Zhenhua's aircraft along with Ma Yao and Wei Li.

The aircraft took off, leaving Ice City Base City and heading straight for the Five Connected Pools.

When they saw the sky-blocking smoke over the Five Connected Pools and landed, they found that many War Gods had already arrived.

The guard who had been guarding the Five Connected Pools all this time was utterly bewildered. Since the Technology Department announced the news, the War Gods of Ice City arrived almost like an invading swarm, with many even coming from Capital City. Even increasing the entrance fee by a hundred times couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the War Gods from wanting to advance.

From yesterday till now, he had received more than a thousand War Gods, and the money collected had exceeded a hundred billion. To that end, the Martial Artists Union had even sent people to help him, making him feel somewhat relieved.

Upon arriving here, Yue Zhenhua didn't dare to cut in line recklessly, so he queued up obediently with Tong Yuehu and the others.

They waited for more than two hours before it was their turn, and Tong Yuehu voluntarily paid the five hundred million entrance fee.

The guard accepted the money and said, "Another five hundred million. You guys just don't have foresight. There was a young man who came twice before, and each time he would only spend one million to enter. As long as he knows how to collect crystals, he must have made a fortune by now." Yue Zhenhua stopped and asked, "What's the name of that person?"

"That's a secret, I can't tell you."

Yue Zhenhua asked again, "Is it Lin Zhen?"

The guard was stunned, apparently Yue Zhenhua had guessed correctly.

"Humph! That kid is good at picking places. The Technology Department just announced the news about the Five Connected Pools, and he already knew about it several months in advance. I knew he would come here again, but it's a good thing he did because now it's a one-time solution. The Five Connected Pools are his burial ground."

Yue Zhenhua took the lead, and He Liu and the others followed him into the mountain tunnel.

After passing through the thick smoke-filled mountain tunnel, they arrived at Dragon Gate Stone Village.

Yue Zhenhua looked back at the mountain tunnel and said to He Liu, "Lin Zhen can perform psychokinesis teleportation, but he can't pass through the thick smoke of the Five Connected Pools. You must stay at the entrance of this tunnel and make sure he can't leave by teleporting."

He Liu nodded slightly, "Hall master, rest assured, I came here specifically to block Lin Zhen. Even though he ranked first on the slaughter list in the qualifiers, many people there didn't really try their hardest. He's not a big deal."

"Hehe, I know. Even against Huo Luofu, you have the power to fight." Yue Zhenhua patted He Liu on the shoulder, obviously very confident in him.

He Liu stayed at the entrance of the Dragon Gate Stone Village to prevent Lin Zhen from escaping. Yue Zhenhua then turned to Tong Yuehu and the others, "Let's go, head straight to the volcanic lake. I have a feeling Lin Zhen must be there."

Tong Yuehu and the others immediately agreed and followed Yue Zhenhua towards the volcanic lake.

There were still many other Ice City War Gods around, but no one dared to provoke Yue Zhenhua's group. After all, their strength was evident.

Some people who supported Lin Zhen worried about him secretly. This time Lin Zhen had gotten himself into big trouble..

Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Tong Yuehu, Dead! (4 updates)

Translator: 549690339

By the Yan Mountain Lake, Lin Zhen was sitting cross-legged.

The Lightning Wings behind him were slightly vibrating. After 20 days of nurturing, the Lightning Wings had grown much stronger, now having twice the speed of sound.

Lin Zhen hardly needed to use his spiritual power to fly, as the Lightning Wings could reach speeds of 680 meters per second.

His realm had finally broken through to the Sixth-Level War God realm this morning.

Within Lin Zhen's dantian, his dantian qi was increasing at a visible rate, and it started to slowly flow, gradually resembling a swirl of dantian qi.

"The dantian qi has begun to flow on its own. When it reaches the peak of Level Nine, it will truly form a whirlpool."

"I feel like my strength has increased a lot, but I still haven't found a way to enter White Dragon Lake. I might as well continue cultivating. After all, A-level crystals are easy to get, and I can continue to cultivate until I reach the Sixth-level Peak before thinking about how to enter."

After meditating for a while, Lin Zhen calmed the dantian qi inside his body. Gradually, he stabilized at the Sixth-Level War God realm.

Just as Lin Zhen completed a circulation of his qi and was about to get up to collect more crystals, a sudden feeling of unrest struck him.

"What's going on!"

Spiritual Mind Masters not only have sharp senses, but their intuition is also strong. The uneasiness in Lin Zhen's heart indicated that danger was approaching.

Moving a few steps, Lin Zhen looked into the distance and saw someone flying at high speed!

"Hmm… four people, two Spiritual Mind Masters leading two other War Gods. Who are they?"

Focusing carefully, Lin Zhen's vision was excellent, and he quickly discovered who they were.

"Yue Zhenhua!"

At first glance, Lin Zhen saw Yue Zhenhua. His uneasy feeling came from Yue Zhenhua. The other three people, Tong Yuehu, Ma Yao, and Wei Li, couldn't pose any real threat to Lin Zhen.

The battle with Yue Zhenhua at the Star Fruit Tree was still fresh in his memory. Even now, as a Sixth-Level War God, Lin Zhen was still a bit short of being able to confront a pseudo-Star Realm opponent.

"What does this old guy want? Has he come specifically for me? He really takes me seriously."

Although knowing that he was still no match for Yue Zhenhua, Lin Zhen didn't want to flee without a fight. He had fought Yue Zhenhua when he was a Third-Level War God, and now that he was a Sixth-Level War God, if he fled without daring to say a word, he would despise himself.

Standing by the Yan Mountain Lake, Lin Zhen watched as Yue Zhenhua and the others approached him.

Yue Zhenhua and the others landed in front of Lin Zhen. After landing, Yue Zhenhua sized up Lin Zhen for a while before saying in an ominous tone, "I really did come to the right place. Just a few months ago, you were a Third-Level War God, and now you've advanced to Level Six. If I had come a year or so later, you might have become a Level Nine War God. It would be difficult to deal with you then."

"I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to deal with me even now." Lin Zhen sneered.

"Hahaha! Lin Zhen, don't be so arrogant. Back at the Star Fruit Tree, I deliberatelv let vou zet to the tree before makinz a move. I wanted to let vou die in front of that girl and take revenge for my son. But I didn't expect that you even managed to escape with a clever trick. If I had wanted to kill you that day, you would have been a corpse long ago!"

"Then you can try again today. I assure you that you still can't kill me." Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the Broken Jade Spear appeared.

"You've upgraded your weapon, no wonder you're so confident. But it's all useless, Lin Zhen. Today, you will die without a doubt!"

Yue Zhenhua also took out a High Grade Star Artifact Longsword, and a High Grade Star Artifact armor appeared on his body. In order to deal with Lin Zhen, the usually stingy Yue Zhenhua had also changed his equipment.

Following Yue Zhenhua's movements, weapons and armor appeared on Tong Yuehu and the others, preparing to besiege Lin Zhen.

"Bang!"

Lin Zhen shook his Broken Jade Spear, pointing at Tong Yuehu and the others, "You guys who help villains, have made up your minds to go against me alongside Yue Zhenhua. Then don't blame me for being rude today!"

"Stop talking nonsense. Let's go!"

Yue Zhenhua roared, and he was the first to pounce on Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen had become an obsession in his heart. If he couldn't kill Lin Zhen, he couldn't even advance to the Star Realm. He even had a feeling that as long as he could kill Lin Zhen, he might be able to advance immediately because his strength had reached the edge of the Star Realm, just short of the final step.

Tong Yuehu and the other three also attacked from three other directions. Lin Zhen, seeing Yue Zhenhua's simplified sword attack, immediately moved his spear, immovable like a mountain!

Seeing Lin Zhen use this move again, Yue Zhenhua sneered. Even if you can resist my attack, can you resist the attacks from the other three directions as well? Today, I'll leave you here.

Thinking of this, he suddenly exerted more force on his hand, hoping to draw Lin Zhen's full attention to his defense.

But just as he exerted more force, Lin Zhen moved!

The immovable like a mountain technique was only to confuse Yue Zhenhua. As soon as he exerted more force, he wouldn't have time to interrupt Lin Zhen's teleportation.

The spear's shadow remained, while Lin Zhen's body disappeared from its original position.

He appeared directly behind Wei Li!

With a flick of his spear, he stabbed out!

Wei Li's soul was instantly horrified, and it was too late to turn around when she heard Yue Zhenhua shout, "Duck!"

Wei Li dared not disobey and didn't care that Lin Zhen was right behind her. She immediately lowered her head.

Yue Zhenhua's mental shock hit at the same time. As long as Lin Zhen killed Wei Li, he would be unable to avoid Yue Zhenhua's mental shock.

But to his surprise, Lin Zhen's intention to kill Wei Li was a feint. When he raised his spear, he used teleportation again.

This time, his real target was right behind Tong Yuehu!

Tong Yuehu controlled Ice City Wind Martial Arts Pavilion, and Lin Zhen opposed him at every turn. Lin Zhen wasn't at ease without getting rid of him. This series of actions was all aimed at this surprise attack. Lin Zhen had already raised his spear at this moment, and even Yue Zhenhua's mental shock wouldn't be fast enough.

"Die!"

Tong Yuehu originally looked at Wei Li's direction, not expecting that Lin Zhen's target was actually himself. He didn't have time to dodge and was viciously stabbed in the back by Lin Zhen!

His heart shattered, and Tong Yuehu had no chance to utter a sound. He died on the spot!

With one blow, Tong Yuehu was killed, and Yue Zhenhua nearly went mad with anger, not expecting Lin Zhen to still be so cunning.

His teleportation with psychokinesis was indeed a major weapon, appearing and disappearing unpredictably. If he wasn't careful, Yue Zhenhua would give him the upper hand. At this rate, perhaps Ma Yao and Wei Li would also be sneak attacked and killed.

"You two, get out of the way! Lin Zhen is mine!"

Seeing Tong Yuehu dying tragically, Ma Yao and Wei Li had lost their will to fight Lin Zhen. Hearing Yue Zhenhua's orders was like being granted amnesty, and they immediately ran to the side.

Lin Zhen had no intention to chase the two of them either. Facing Yue

Zhenhua, he truly used the immovable like a mountain technique this time.

Fighting against Yue Zhenhua, teleportation was useless. Lin Zhen didn't want to dodge either, so he relied on his raw strength to resist Yue Zhenhua!

This time, Yue Zhenhua was thoroughly shocked.

Lin Zhen's progress was too great – the first time he faced Yue Zhenhua, he almost had no resistance. Although he was still at a disadvantage now, he was able to both attack and defend. For a while, Yue Zhenhua couldn't take him down!

"This is unacceptable! If I let him grow like this, it'll be terrible. Today, I must get rid of him!"

With great killing intent, Yue Zhenhua immediately used the Hurricane Skill again.

Seeing Yue Zhenhua using this move again, Lin Zhen knew that it was impossible to continue.

Although he still had his trump card, Thunder Kill, if that strike failed, Yue Zhenhua's counterattack would be fatal. Moreover, the chances of that strike failing were quite high, as that move was known for its power and not a guaranteed hit.

Lin Zhen sighed quietly in his heart. It seemed he couldn't fight to the death with Yue Zhenhua today. He'd better leave the Five Connected Pools first.

Taking advantage of the moment before the hurricane rose, Lin Zhen's Lightning Wings suddenly appeared.

"Yue Zhenhua, you can play by yourself here. I will not accompany you!" The Lightning Wings flashed, and Lin Zhen started running!

Yue Zhenhua carelessly blinked, and in that instant, he saw Lin Zhen run a great distance away. He roared in anger, "Lin Zhen, even if you run to the end of the world today, I will definitely kill you!"

Being a Peak of Level Nine and a Dark Gold Late Stage Spiritual Mind Master, Yue Zhenhua had already stepped one foot into the door of the Star Realm. His flying speed was originally much faster than Lin Zhen's.

However, Yue Zhenhua was also proficient in wind power, which was an accelerating ability. If Lin Zhen didn't have the Lightning Wings, his flying speed would be much slower than Yue Zhenhua's. But with the help of the Lightning Wings, Yue Zhenhua could barely keep up with Lin Zhen in the short term and couldn't catch up.

The gap between the two wasn't particularly significant, but Lin Zhen was barely out of reach. Seeing that Lin Zhen was heading towards the exit of the Five Connected Pools, Yue Zhenhua shouted, "He Liu! Stop him!"

He Liu had been waiting here for a long time. Watching Lin Zhen approaching at breakneck speed, he was also shocked by Lin Zhen's speed but remained unmoved. Instead, he raised his hand, and a huge metal wall completely blocked the passage through the tunnel.

Lin Zhen was almost at the tunnel entrance when he used teleportation and hit the metal wall with a heavy thud!

"Hahaha! Lin Zhen, this metal wall is a high-grade auxiliary star device, and your teleportation can't pass through it. Stay put!"

He Liu said, raising his hand again, and two long swords appeared in both hands, charging towards Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen was a bit dizzy from the impact but managed to balance himself in the air using the Lightning Wings. He fought against He Liu in the air.

Only after fighting did he realize that He Liu wasn't just a Level Nine War God but had completed Level Eight compression. Moreover, he also possessed a Middle Grade Star Artifact for mental defense and a High Grade Star Artifact for physical defense.

Moreover, this man had the ability to manipulate fire, and when he fought, fierce fire engulfed everything, making him extremely tricky to handle!

Seeing Yue Zhenhua catching up again, the hurricane surging behind him and coming straight at Lin Zhen!

The surrounding martial artists all hid far away, not daring to join the fray.

Seeing the situation was bad, Lin Zhen realized he couldn't leave the Five Connected Pools with this person blocking the way.

Since he couldn't leave, Lin Zhen decided not to. Taking advantage of Yue Zhenhua not being close by, he slapped his Lightning Wings and turned sharply.. He didn't tangle with He Liu but raced towards Yan Mountain Lake instead!

Chapter 241: Chapter 241: S-level Mutated Poisonous Scorpion (Fifth Update)

Translator: 549690339

Since there was no escape, Lin Zhen quickly made a decision. There was only one way to shake off Yue Zhenhua's pursuit.

Enter the poison fog area!

Lin Zhen had been studying this poison fog area for a long time. The width of White Dragon Lake was about ten kilometers, and with the speed of his Lightning Wings, he could pass through it in fifteen seconds.

But some time ago, Lin Zhen tested how long his Spiritual Shield could withstand the poison fog, which was only twenty seconds.

At that time, the one-time speed of sound increase of the Lightning Wings was not enough to support Lin Zhen to pass through the poison fog area. But now that the Lightning Wings have recovered after twenty days, they have reached twice the speed of sound, which is enough for him to pass through the area.

Once he crossed the poison fog area, it would be the Crane Lake region, and Lin Zhen didn't believe that Yue Zhenhua could still pursue him there.

Although he didn't know the situation at Crane Lake, Lin Zhen believed that those poisoning scorpions wouldn't be flying around randomly. As long as he could find a place to settle, he could slowly practice. After all, he had collected a lot of A-level Mutated Crystals in his Space Ring, enough for him to practice until he reached the Sixth-level Peak.

Having made up his mind, Lin Zhen and Yue Zhenhua flew one after another, while He Liu continued to block the entrance to the tunnel.

Yue Zhenhua had a green whirlwind surrounding him that pushed his speed to the limit.

He had always been confident in his own speed, even daring to compete with an ordinary Star Realm in speed, but he never thought that he wouldn't be able to catch up with Lin Zhen, the distance between them remaining the same.

"This kid really has good luck, actually getting such a treasure that helps with flying. But it doesn't matter, the poison fog area of White Dragon Lake is up ahead. I'll see where you run then!"

Ma Yao and Wei Li saw Lin Zhen and Yue Zhenhua flying back from a distance, hid far away, and dared not to approach. They didn't want to participate in the battle between them.

Lin Zhen didn't care about the two of them and, seeing that he was getting close to the poison fog area of White Dragon Lake, flashed a golden light on his body and covered it with a Spiritual Shield'

"Yue Zhenhua, let's see if you have the guts to chase me!"

With a flutter of his Lightning Wings, ions surged, and Lin Zhen rushed into the poison fog area.

Yue Zhenhua was about to go crazy. He roared, "Lin Zhen, even if you run to the ends of the earth, you will surely die today!"

A fierce hurricane surrounding him, he managed to forcefully repel the poison fog and dive into the foggy area.

Like two fighter jets traversing the sea of clouds, the two sped forward, and the poison fog tumbled around them.

Lin Zhen only felt his spiritual power being consumed rapidly, the fog was so dense that it was like a viscous liquid. If it weren't for his Spiritual Shield's protection, he would probably be a skeleton flying in the air.

But the Lightning Wings were truly a treasure. As they flapped, they blew away a lot of the poison fog, allowing Lin Zhen to continue forward smoothly.

The situation was much worse for Yue Zhenhua, who pursued behind. Although the wind blew away the poison fog, it exponentially increased the consumption of his energy.

"This isn't good! This poison fog is too overbearing. I'm not going to make it out of the poison fog area at this rate!"

Yue Zhenhua saw Lin Zhen rushing forward recklessly and finally hesitated.

So what if he got through the poison fog area? There were swarms of S-level Mutated Poison Scorpions there, wouldn't that mean he would be seeking death?

Yes, he wanted to avenge his son by killing Lin Zhen, but nothing was more important than saving his own life.

As Chen Fenglie and he had said, as long as Yue Zhenhua could advance to the Star Realm, he wouldn't have to worry about having sons or a long life, as long as he was still alive.

So Yue Zhenhua finally backed off. While he still had the strength to retreat, he turned around and left the poison fog area, returning to Yan Mountain Lake.

"Lin Zhen! You little bastard! If you dare, never come out of there! I'll stay here until the knockout stage of the War God's competition begins. By then, you'll have only three possibilities: either you'll be corroded by the poison fog, eaten by the poison scorpions, or just simply don't have time to participate in the competition! Hahaha! Let's see what you can do!"

Yue Zhenhua laughed wildly, like a madman.

At this moment, avenging his son had become a secondary matter. He had to make sure Lin Zhen wouldn't die an easy death so his road to advancing to the Star Realm would be smooth.

Ma Yao and Wei Li were brought over by Yue Zhenhua, whose daily tasks were to cook and collect crystals.

He Liu was always in charge of guarding the exit of the tunnel, preventing Lin

Zhen from escaping. Yue Zhenhua would stay at the boundary between Yan Mountain Lake and White Dragon Lake, waiting for Lin Zhen to emerge every day. He was determined to wear Lin Zhen down.

"The head of the Gale Martial Arts Hall personally hunts down Lin Zhen, trapping him in the White Dragon Lake poison fog area of the Five Connected Pools, shutting him down and causing a genius to potentially miss the knockout stage of the War God's competition!"

"Yue Zhenhua disregards his status and takes action, Lin Zhen's life is in jeopardy!"

"Lin Zhen kills Tong Yuehu in the Five Connected Pools, Gale's disciple becomes Gale's mortal enemy!"

One by one, fresh news articles like these attracted countless people's attention.

With Yue Zhenhua tearing away his dignity, Lin Zhen, even if he didn't die, would face difficulties participating in the War God's knockout stage.

According to the rules of the War God's competition, the knockout stage would be determined by a draw. If a contestant couldn't participate, their opponent would advance directly without having in fight

If Lin Zhen couldn't participate, he would be eliminated in the first round.

Many people lamented this turn of events, and many cursed Yue Zhenhua for disregarding the country's honor for personal gain.

Of course, there were still many people supporting Yue Zhenhua, after all, he was still the chief of Gale Martial Arts Hall, a highly respected position, and his son was indeed killed by Lin Zhen, so avenging his son was only natural.

Many people in Hua Xia were discussing this matter, but the foreigners were mostly celebrating with raised hands.

Especially in the Sand Russia region, many people were celebrating that Lin Zhen, who eliminated their three Sand Russian warriors, was finally in trouble, not only unable to advance but possibly even losing his life.

Huoluluofu slammed the table after seeing the report: "Lin Zhen! If you were eliminated like this, it would be too easy for you. Otherwise, I would tear you apart in front of a global audience!"

Duke of the United States saw Lin Zhen's situation and sighed, "Another interesting opponent is gone."

Shah and Omar of India looked at each other and laughed, "It seems that we have one less strong enemy, and our India's ranking may rise as a result."

At the African Federation, Brazilian War Gods saw this and either rejoiced in misfortune or sighed deeply, saddened that they could not fight against the famous Lin Zhen.

In the European Union, at the Mediterranean training camp, Chris, who had already begun fighting ocean giant beasts and undergoing demonic training, saw the news about Lin Zhen, bit her red lips, and looked eastward: "Lin Zhen, you must be strong and not give up. Before you lose to me, you must not lose to anyone."

Far away on the moon, at the edge of a crater, Su Mingyue, who was adjusting her inner breath, suddenly opened her eyes.

"I feel so sad in my heart. My radiant power is causing me palpitations. Is it the effect of the companion star crystal? I miss him… What happened to him?"

Seeing Su Mingyue distracted, Gongsun Du beside her said, "Yue'er! What are you up to? You must train hard and quickly break through to Advanced War God if you want to achieve good results in the War God's Knockout. Do you think everyone has the opportunity to leave Earth and train on the moon like you?"

Su Mingyue reluctantly closed her eyes and continued training, silently praying for Lin Zhen in her heart.

Lin Zhen was unaware of the outside world, and he finally rushed out of the poison fog zone within fourteen seconds.

The spiritual barrier on his body was close to exhaustion. Even with his dark gold late stage spiritual power, it was extremely difficult to break through the poisonous fog. If it were not for the Lightning Wings, it would be impossible.

After breaking through the poison fog zone, Lin Zhen withdrew his spiritual barrier and looked ahead.

Under his feet was the edge of White Dragon Lake and Crane Lake. In front of him, a large expanse of surging blue waves and the air seemed to be much better than the previous three lakes.

Crane Lake was like a giant blue gemstone, with the lake shimmering between the mountains, surrounded by a pleasant climate, moist and warm air.

The thick fog in the sky dome was like a lid, turning this place into a paradise.

Lin Zhen's feet slowly moved forward, heading towards Crane Lake.

Just as he was about to approach Crane Lake within 500 meters, a black shadow suddenly rose into the sky and rushed towards Lin Zhen!

It was a poisonous scorpion as big as a small car, with double wings on its ribs, thick armor on its body, and wielding two huge pincers!

Its long tail was like a hook, shining in the dark, and in the blink of an eye, the poisonous scorpion had already reached Lin Zhen!

S-level Mutated Scorpion!

Lin Zhen swung his Broken Jade Spear to resist the scorpion's pincers!

A loud clang, Lin Zhen's footsteps staggered backward, the gap between the two sides' strength was huge!

The scorpion's tail suddenly shot out nearly ten meters, fiercely stab towards Lin Zhen's head.

Instant teleportation!

Lin Zhen instantly moved a hundred meters away, breaking out in a cold sweat, as if he could still feel the Reaper passing by him just now.

Before he could steady himself, the scorpion was already in front of him again, with incredible speed.

Lin Zhen's figure flashed, and he teleported again!

This time Lin Zhen had experience, and after the teleportation, he flapped the Lightning Wings and headed straight for the distance, while the scorpion continued chasing him.

He flew several thousand meters away in a matter of seconds, already far away from the Crane Lake area and approaching the spewing volcanic area. The scorpion then returned to Crane Lake with a flap of its wings, no longer pursuing Lin Zhen.

"What a tough creature, this thing really has territorial awareness, which is a characteristic of S-level mutated beasts. As long as it's out in the world, it can be king,"

Lin Zhen vaguely saw that as the scorpion landed, a swarm of scorpions flew up from the water's surface, as if to welcome the victorious return of the scorpion.

"They're even in groups, too hard to deal with."

Lin Zhen no longer headed towards the edge of Crane Lake, and as for the fifth volcanic lake, Ruyi Lake, which was even further away and towering high, he had no intention of going there at all.

He set his sights on a nearby erupting volcano on the edge of the Fire Burning Mountain!

Only in the poisonous fog and thick smoke that separated them was it safe. Lin Zhen was going to continue his cultivation here..

Chapter 242: Chapter 242: Promotion, Level 7 War God!

Translator: 549690339

Fire Burning Mountain is located between Crane Lake Volcano and Ruyi Lake Volcano, at a distance of nearly ten kilometers.

Thick smoke and fierce flames form a natural barrier around it, while poisonous mist from White Dragon Lake acts as a blockade. Basically, it is impossible for people to come here.

It is unknown what kind of tonic Fire Burning Mountain has consumed, but for countless years, it has been continuously erupting. It is as if lava from the Earth's core is constantly surging upwards without an end.

It can be said that the formation of the Five Connected Pools Ancient God Ruins can be largely credited to Fire Burning Mountain.

Looking from afar, the sky is filled with thick smoke, and streaks of lightning occasionally flash across. Fiery light and lava, accompanied by heavy volcanic ash, seem like a giant natural chimney, spewing trash into the sky.

Lin Zhen took a few steps upward and then slowly stopped.

"In my previous life, all the special meteorites within the Five Connected Pools were obtained by extraterrestrial civilizations, making the place famous. However, there is a legend about Fire Burning Mountain."

"The reason why Fire Burning Mountain keeps erupting, forming the Ancient God Ruins, is that during the arrival of the Leonid meteor shower, a meteorite had penetrated the Earth's crust, causing magma to surge upwards, thus creating an almost incessant volcano."

"But later, I studied and found that no meteorite could penetrate the Earth's crust. The long-lasting volcanic eruption must have another reason."

Memories floated through Lin Zhen's mind. When the extraterrestrial civilization almost ruled the world, an unusual change occurred in Fire Burning Mountain.

An unknown creature charged out from the mountain, and despite Earth being under the blockage of extraterrestrial civilization, it rushed towards space. Along the way, its fierce fire destroyed two starship battleships, causing significant losses to the extraterrestrial civilization.

After destroying the starships, the creature left. It was not from Earth and had no intention of resisting invasion.

Later on, people finally reached a consensus: there was a Galaxy Beast within Fire Burning Mountain!

Galaxy Beasts are creatures that lived in the cosmic starry sky. Once they grow up, their potential is almost limitless.

Upon birth, Galaxy Beasts have Star Realm-level power. As they grow, they can even reach the Comet Stage during their youth.

Once they enter their growth phase, their strength will advance rapidly. Just entering their growth phase, they already have Satellite Stage strength, and at the peak of the growth phase, they possess Constant Star Stage strength.

Upon maturity, they can even achieve Star Domain Stage strength, which is a supreme gift.

At first, Lin Zhen did not include the Galaxy Beast in his plans, as it was still too powerful for him to face even if it was only recently born.

However, since he was here, Lin Zhen wanted to have a look and see what the legendary Galaxy Beast looked like. After all, no one had actually seen the real face of the Galaxy Beast inside Fire Burning Mountain.

But upon reaching the foot of Fire Burning Mountain, Lin Zhen did not rashly go up. Instead, he stayed at the foot of the mountain, deciding to practice here first.

As for the Galaxy Beast, it was too distant a goal. Only strength was the key.

Lin Zhen stayed at the foot of the mountain and took out Crystals from his Space Ring.

He had collected many Crystals, so advancing to the Sixth-level Peak was not a problem; it just required some time.

First, he settled in a secluded spot, and then Lin Zhen began to recover his Spiritual Power. His Spiritual Power had suffered some losses while passing through the poisonous mist and needed some time to recover.

The Lightning Wings flapped on his back again, and the power of Lightning Ions continued to nourish them. This object needed to rely on constant nourishment to advance. For now, it was only at twice the speed of sound and still far from reaching the second stage.

In the following days, Lin Zhen was completely immersed in his training. When tired, he would lie down for a rest or meditate.

When hungry, Lin Zhen's Space Ring contained crabs, and he would eat some crab meat to satiate himself.

There were many molten rocks around Fire Burning Mountain, and many stones were still hot. Lin Zhen used gravity to grab one, and the crab meat was easily cooked. Once the shell was removed, the taste was not bad.

Days went by like this, and Lin Zhen had been staying in the Five Connected Pools for two and a half months already.

By now, it had been almost four years since Lin Zhen's rebirth, and another winter was approaching.

Outside, the world was changing. Since the secret of Poison Insect Crystals was exposed, many War Gods had made significant progress.

Especially the participants of the War God's Knockout, these people were the best among the War Gods, and they were advancing rapidly at this time.

Bogba from the African Union, who was originally an Eighth-level War God, had advanced to a Level 9 War God. Together with another African Union War God, they jointly killed an S-level Mutated Lion that had attacked Cape Town Base City.

When they brought back the three heads of the Mutated Lion, the African Union was shocked.

Another War God claimed that he had contributed little; most of the credit went to Bogba. This made people believe that Bogba was getting closer to Huo

Luofu's level and might even win the championship in the War God's Knockout.

Later, it was revealed that Sang Ji, a War God from Rio de Janeiro Base City in Brazil, had single-handedly killed an S-level Forest Serpent in the rainforest, which was even more shocking.

He had single-handedly killed an S-level Mutated Beast and was now comparable to Huo Luofu.

Then news followed one after another. From India District, Omar and Shah joined forces and killed an S-level Mutated Beast in the suburbs of Mumbai!

U.S. War God Duke heads into the wilderness, slaying the S-level Mutated Beast American Lion, aiming for the War God's Knockout Championship!

Hua Xia Martial Artists Tang Wenbo and Feng Ni each kill the S-level Mutated Beasts Huanan Tiger and Northwest Wolf King, becoming rising stars in Hua Xia.

Then came the news that European Union War God Ai Er had killed the S-level Mutated Beast Brown Bear.

Just when people were becoming numb to slaying S-level Mutated Beasts, the news of European Union War God Chris killing the S-level Mutated Beast Great White Shark in the Mediterranean sent shockwaves through the world.

The Great White Shark is not an ordinary S-level Mutated Beast; it has incredible power in the ocean, which is unmatched by any land-based S-level Mutated Beast. Chris instantly became a top contender for the championship.

People were even more amazed by her talent, considering she was only twenty years old.

Just when many people thought Huo Luofu had no chance of winning the championship, he shared a photo from the North Pole Area.

Under the arctic sky, three S-level Mutated Beast corpses lay at his feet: a mutated polar bear, a tiger shark, and a walrus.

Huo Luofu also said, 'You guys are just playing with leftovers. I'm now on the verge of entering the Star Realm, and the championship is mine. No one can take it away."

Huo Luofu's advancement to the Star Realm caused a sensation, as the War God knockout didn't allow those in the Star Realm to participate, right?

When people questioned this, the World War God Alliance gave a reply.

While those in the Star Realm indeed cannot participate in the War God knockout during registration, breakthroughs made during the knockout are allowed, and they can't disqualify a War God just because they've made a breakthrough.

At present, the World War God Alliance only has three countries: the European Union, Sand Russia, and the United States, so whatever they say goes.

Later, more news came out that people like Duke from the United States and Ai Er from the European Union had also advanced to the Star Realm. It was evident that the decision came from negotiations among the three parties, and everyone else had no choice but to accept it.

Among the contestants, Su Mingyue, the Saintess of the Divine Sect, and Lin Zhen were probably the most low-key.

Su Mingyue disappeared for more than two months, only appearing when there was just one week left until the start of the War God Knockout. No one knew where she went, but they could only see her becoming increasingly indifferent and pure, gracefully compelling, yet no one knew her strength, nor witnessed her in action.

The only exception was Lin Zhen, who had been stuck in the Five Connected Pools for two months due to Yue Zhenhua's blockade. There has been no news about him, as if he had evaporated from the face of the Earth.

Many War Gods here at the Five Connected Pools were not only gathering crystals but also paying close attention to Yue Zhenhua's situation.

Yue Zhenhua, with Ma Yao and Wei Li, was blocking the edge of the poisonous mist of White Dragon Lake. During this time, his realm had reached the edge of breakthrough, feeling as if he could enter the Star Domain at any moment. However, he couldn't break through, and the frustration in his chest made him extremely uncomfortable. Only by eliminating Lin Zhen could his troubled mind be eased.

As they ate, drank, and cultivated, they waited impatiently for Lin Zhen to appear, like eager beavers.

Not only them, but many people were also paying attention to Lin Zhen's fate, wondering if the genius had a chance to participate in the War God Knockout.

At Lin Zhen's home, his father Lin Liye and mother Li Qin had already reached the Fifth Level as Warriors. However, they had also lost the desire to cultivate in these past few days, waiting for news about their son.

At the bottom of Fire Burning Mountain, an object covered in thick dust, no longer resembling a human, moved slightly.

"Crack! "

A piece of dust fell off.

As more and more dust fell, Lin Zhen shook his head and staggered to his feet.

"Whew! This place is really dirty. If you don't move for a day, your whole body is covered in dust. Compared to this, the Star Fruit Tree is heavenly."

Lin Zhen clenched his fist, and the Lightning Wings behind him flapped twice, dispersing the dust.

"What a thrill! After two months of hard cultivation, I not only broke through to the Sixth-Level War God but also, after using up all the Dark Energy Stones I collected, unexpectedly reached the middle stage of the Seventh-Level War God!"

"I am now an Advanced War God!"

With a flap of the Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen soared into the air. At this moment, his Spiritual Power had also improved. He was previously in the Dark Gold Late Stage, but now he was close to the Peak of Dark Gold.

Moreover, the Lightning Wings also received an upgrade, now reaching a speed of three times the speed of sound. He could fly 1020 meters per second, which is basically one kilometer per second.

"Yue Zhenhua, if you dare to chase me again, I guarantee you won't even see my taillights. But I believe you won't have any chance to chase me. I am no longer afraid of you."

Flying at high speed in the air for two laps, Lin Zhen looked left and right.

With one week left before the War God Knockout began, he had several choices:

try to challenge the Poisonous Scorpion in Crane Lake, confront Yue Zhenhua, or visit the never-before-seen Galaxy Beast in Fire Burning Mountain.

After some thought, Lin Zhen turned left, wanting to see what the Galaxy Beast really looked like first..

Boom!

A large cluster of lava rose up from the volcano, accompanied by thick smoke. Lin Zhen watched from nearby, his Lightning Wings gently flapping, suspending his body in mid-air while his Spiritual Power Shield was activated.

After observing four or five eruptions, he found that the volcano erupts violently about every two hours, then gradually weakens.

Calculating the time and sensing the weakening power of the volcano, Lin Zhen gave his Lightning Wings a strong flap and plunged into the dense smoke of the crater.

He dared not let the Lightning Wings speed up too much. It would be a disaster if he accidentally rushed into the lava.

Upon entering the mouth of the volcano, an incredibly scorching heatwave hit him. Consumption of his spiritual power began to rapidly increase.

However, Lin Zhen, with his peak Dark Gold Late Stage spiritual power, could hold up for about five minutes in this heatwave.

The red lava beneath was tumbling and rolling, seemingly like a bottomless abyss engulfing everything.

Looking around, the surroundings appeared like a barrel. He didn't notice anything abnormal. Could the Galaxy Beast be lurking deep in the lava? If so, Lin Zhen would have no way to get it out.

No! It must not be at the bottom of the lava. It should be hiding somewhere.

Flapping his Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen began to descend into the volcano, getting gradually closer to the lava zone.

The deeper he went, the more unbearable the high temperature became, causing Lin Zhen's spiritual power to deplete even faster. If it wasn't for the shield, he would have been on fire by now.

It was approximately 1,500 meters from the mouth of the volcano to the lava. He descended about a kilometer, leaving less than 500 meters to the rolling lava below. Lin Zhen stopped there.

Near the volcanic wall, Lin Zhen began to fly quickly along it.

Using high-speed flight of a kilometer per second, Lin Zhen descended another fifty meters in a spiral motion, but found nothing.

Holding his breath, he descended another thirty meters, and still found nothing.

The scorching heatwave was taking its toll. Lin Zhen felt his spiritual power was just barely coping. With a flap of his Lightning Wings, he ascended, fleeing the Fire Burning Mountain.

After a full cycle of spiritual power recovery outside, and waiting until the volcano erupted again, Lin Zhen once again dived into the volcano to continue his exploration.

Previously, he had explored down to a depth of 1,080 meters. This time, he went down to 1,150 meters, and after finding nothing, he ascended again.

The third time, Lin Zhen reached a depth of 1,220 meters.

The fourth time, he went down to 1,300 meters.

The fifth time, to 1,350 meters.

By the sixth time, when he had explored down to 1,400 meters, Lin Zhen finally made a discovery.

Below, about fifty meters further down, almost directly above the lava, there was a cave slanting downwards, as if something had smashed into it.

Lin Zhen's eyes lit up. If this cave was indeed created by a meteorite, then the Galaxy Beast must be inside.

However, his spiritual power was running low, so he ascended once again to recuperate, and then prepared for the next dive.

He took out the liquid metal, covered it with the cold air from within the Dark Star, replacing the Spiritual Shield, and then dived into the volcano again.

With this layer of protection, Lin Zhen finally dived into the cave near the lava. The cave was not deep, about twenty meters in he reached what seemed to be the end.

However, what was strange was that the lava hadn't flooded into the cave. Normally, during a volcanic eruption, the lava would gush up and backfill the cave. He couldn't understand why this hadn't occurred.

Lin Zhen, with Broken Jade Spear in hand, was fully on guard. If the Galaxy Beast was vicious, he would teleport away immediately.

But when he saw what was actually inside the cave, he was completely stunned.

"What is this…?"

A creature, barely larger than a pug, lay there on its last legs, seemingly unaware of Lin Zhen's arrival.

Its body was covered in a layer of golden fur, with a hint of reddish tint. Around its neck, there was a circle of mane, much like a lion's, which was slightly damp.

It had small claws, a large mouth, and relatively large eyes that seemed to be double-lidded.

"A lion dog?" Lin Zhen scratched his head. Was this creature the Galaxy Beast? Or just some mutant creature from the volcano?

After looking around, Lin Zhen noticed several pieces of broken eggshells on the ground. The shells were wrapped in some rocks, indicating that the creature had indeed come out of an eggshell from a meteorite.

An eggshell? So, it was oviparous? Isn't it a dog? How long since it was born?

As Lin Zhen was in thought, the "lion dog" opened its eyes.

Upon laying eyes on Lin Zhen, its eyes widened, and it bared its teeth sharply!

Even though its baby teeth were still small, an overwhelming aura gushed out towards him!

Power of the Star Realm!

Galaxy Beast!

Lin Zhen teleported and flashed out of the cave, then straight up into the sky.

Flying several hundred meters high, Lin Zhen looked back, but he did not see the puppy chasing after him.

Lin Zhen initially wanted to flee, but he was reluctant. The pup seemed to be extremely weak, as it must have just been born and not been fed yet, it could not be powerful.

Bold faced and unyielding, Lin Zhen turned back and re-entered the cave.

Upon seeing Lin Zhen, the puppy opened its eyes and hummed, though Lin Zhen was a bit shocked, he did not sense any malice from it and slowly approached.

Perhaps it was the creature's cute exterior that made one lower their guard, Lin Zhen crouched down three meters from it, ready to teleport at a moment's notice.

This time he took a careful observation, noticing that the egg from which the creature had hatched had not been cracked open long ago, and the shell was as red as if it was going to ignite. It must have absorbed too much lava energy.

Lin Zhen narrowed his eyes and began analyzing based on what he knew.

"This Galaxy Beast has fallen here for a millennium. Without adult beasts to incubate it, it has taken a thousand years to hatch, nurtured only by this volcanic lava, its life borne of the flame."

"According to the legend of the Galaxy Beast, the first meal of its offspring is the fresh blood of their mother, a rite of passage that helps cultivate their future ferocity and inherit the elder's power. However, it hasn't eaten anything yet and is severely lacking food and nutrition. Although there are some organisms inside the volcano that also rely on flames to survive, their numbers are too small. Therefore, its progress has been delayed, and it only appeared after extraterrestrial civilizations ruled the Earth."

"It should still be in its infant stage now. If left alone, it could survive, but the rate of growth would be slow."

"I wonder if I should try to feed it."

Once this idea passed through Lin Zhen's mind, it began to grow uncontrollably. He had lived many years in his last life, but never considered the possibility of owning a Galaxy Beast.

Once fully grown, it can easily destroy a civilization. People would normally be avoiding it at all costs, and who could think of rearing one.

Lin Zhen tried to approach it again, and the Galaxy Beast opened its eyes, its teeth were exposed again, it seemed to dislike Lin Zhen.

"That's not right? It has just been born and should not exhibit any aggression, why would it be hostile towards me?"

After several attempts, Lin Zhen found the root cause.

The cold aura emanating from the liquid metal!

This icy aura was what Lin Zhen used to resist the heat waves. As the Galaxy Beast was born of absorbing the lava, the natural opposition of fire and ice made it dislikes Lin Zhen.

Without hesitation, Lin Zhen immediately dismissed the liquid metal and initiated his Spiritual Shield. This time, the Galaxy Beast closed its eyes and laid down, rolling around slightly.

Looking at its skinny stomach, Lin Zhen knew it hadn't fed yet, he hesitated for a moment, then took out a piece of crab meat from his ring and offered it to the creature that resembled a puppy.

"Galaxy Beasts are highly intelligent, almost on par with human children, it should be able to sense good from evil. It won't attack me."

Lin Zhen whispered in his heart, and inched closer.

Just as Lin Zhen's crab meat reached the mouth of the puppy, it suddenly opened its mouth and bit Lin Zhen's finger!

A sting was felt, blood streamed from the finger, but Lin Zhen did not pull his finger back and let the pup continue to suckle.

"Primary blood! It seems the Galaxy Beast does indeed feed on blood for its first meal just like the legends stated. But will my blood be okay?"

A martial artist's blood and Qi force are particularly vigorous. As Lin Zhen was currently an Advanced War God, the vitality in his blood exceeded that of normal people by a hundred times. The pup should be able to withstand it.

Since it has come to this, Lin Zhen simply sat there, hoping to wait for the puppy to finish its blood meal.

But its appetite was beyond Lin Zhen's expectations.

The blood kept gushing out, and the lightning power, light power, and traces of colding aura in his body were all being transferred into the puppy's body through his blood!

The Dark Star was continually operating to replenish the lost energy from Lin Zhen's body, large amounts of blood were also rapidly being lost, and he began to feel dizzy.

"Little devil, it's got quite an appetite!"

Lin Zhen started feeling dizzy, he wanted to stop but was reluctant. If he stopped now, he might never get such a chance to tame this puppy again. So, he had to grit his teeth and persevere.

He did not know how much time had passed, Lin Zhen felt a heat wave rolling in from the cave entrance, indicating the volcano was about to erupt again. He raised his hand, changed the liquid metal into a wall, and completely blocked the entrance of the cave.

Magma was surging outside, the temperature inside the cave rose high enough to boil water. Lin Zhen could only circulate his cold aura to resist the heat. Fortunately, the puppy did not resist Lin Zhen's cold aura this time, and it held Lin Zhen's finger with both its paws, suckling his blood.

A steady flow of lightning, light, and cold aura was being infused into the puppy's body. Lin Zhen's consciousness gradually began to blur.

In his haze, he saw that the puppy occasionally had spots of lightning flashing on its body or faint glows moving across it.

The puppy seemed to be enjoying its meal, it held Lin Zhen's finger with its four limbs and suckled. Occasionally it hummed, and a puff of sulfurous smoke with sparks interspersed would emit from its nostrils.

Its saliva and mouth fluid would also enter Lin Zhen's body through his wounded finger, giving him a tingling, hot sensation.

Outside, multiple heat waves had risen, Lin Zhen's consciousness had become increasingly blurred and eventually fell into unconsciousness in the cave..

Translator: 549690339

By the time Lin Zhen woke up again, he felt weak all over, with dizziness and blurry vision, which were signs of excessive blood loss.

"Ah… so dizzy!"

Lin Zhen sat up swaying and checked the time, only to find out that more than a day had passed.

"Clang! "

Something fell from the entrance of the cave, and Lin Zhen saw the liquid metal he originally used to block the entrance rolling towards him.

Lin Zhen had turned the metal into a circular wall to block the entrance, preventing lava from pouring in and heat waves from attacking. It had saved his life, but why did it fall?

Lin Zhen put away the liquid metal while still feeling a bit dazed. If the lava had washed away the liquid metal, it didn't fill the cave.

If the lava had poured in, Lin Zhen guessed that only his bones would have remained.

"Where's the puppy?" Lin Zhen searched left and right but did not see the puppy's shadow.

Has it run away? After sucking so much of my blood, it actually ran away?" Lin Zhen was quite disappointed. With his current loss of blood, a normal person or even a weaker War God would have died. Even though Lin Zhen was full of vitality, he was extremely weak, and his combat power was greatly affected.

Yet, the Galaxy Beast had run away.

"It probably loosened the liquid metal when it ran out. Sigh, I guess it was all for nothing. I hope my condition recovers quickly. I still need to collect the Cinnabar Stone and Domineering Stone. This condition won't do."

Lin Zhen tried to stand up and leave; otherwise, he might not be able to leave if another volcanic eruption occurred.

Just as he reached the entrance, the incredible heat wave attacked again, and Lin Zhen was about to activate his Spiritual Shield and leave.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a surge in the lava below, and the puppy swam out like a swimmer. Then it took three leaps at once and ran on empty air, rushing out!

Moreover, the puppy was holding a fiery red strange fish in its mouth. The fish was as long as two feet, much larger than the puppy, but it had already died.

The puppy ran to the cave where Lin Zhen was in just a few steps, then bumped into his arms.

Lin Zhen's weak body couldn't withstand the puppy's collision, and they both tumbled back into the depths of the cave.

"Ouch! What's going on?"

Lin Zhen hit the meteorite wrapped in eggshells and felt an unbearable soreness all over his body.

The puppy was not affected at all. It licked Lin Zhen's face with its hot tongue, making it wet.

"Is it… is it recognizing me as its master? Or does it take me as its mother?" Lin Zhen looked incredulously at the puppy snuggling in his arms.

Its condition was obviously different from before. Its golden fur became shinier, and the mane around its neck turned from light red to fiery red. Its limbs looked stronger, and its eyes seemed to have a faint starlight floating when they opened and closed.

When it opened its mouth wide, its milk teeth did not seem to have grown longer. However, Lin Zhen could tell from the dead red fish that its bite was powerful.

It had a long tail that wagged behind it, but it didn't look like a dog's tail. It felt more like a lion's tail.

"It definitely isn't a dog. It just looks like one." Lin Zhen decided quickly.

The puppy clung to Lin Zhen's arms, its body warm and unaffected by swimming in the lava just now.

"As expected, it grew up wrapped in lava and isn't afraid of fire at all."

Lin Zhen tried hard to hold the puppy and examine it from top to bottom, liking it more and more.

He even sensed the power of thunder and light in the puppy, which inherited from Lin Zhen's legacy.

After licking Lin Zhen's face twice, the puppy jumped down, picked up the fish that rolled to the side, and delivered it to Lin Zhen's arms.

"Is it for me to eat?" Lin Zhen couldn't help but ask.

To his surprise, the puppy seemed to understand him. It opened its mouth and made a biting motion, then stuck out its tongue and looked at Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen picked up the fish and found it somewhat transparent, like it was made of jelly.

After taking a sniff, he didn't smell any fishiness. Since the Galaxy Beast had given it to him, it probably wasn't poisonous. Lin Zhen was feeling weak anyway, so he took a bite.

The fish melted in his mouth, and Lin Zhen immediately felt a burst of heat from his Dantian spreading through his limbs and body. His weakened condition due to blood loss began to recover.

"This is indeed a great supplement. I won't be polite then."

Lin Zhen started eating, and the more he ate, the tastier it got, and the lost strength gradually returned.

Meanwhile, the puppy didn't idle either. It picked up the crab meat Lin Zhen had given it before. The piece of crab meat was large, bigger than its body, yet it swallowed it in just a few bites.

After finishing, it wagged its tail at Lin Zhen, seemingly still wanting more.

Lin Zhen immediately took out another piece of crab meat, weighing over a hundred pounds, and threw it in front of the puppy. The puppy pounced on it and ate it at an incredible speed.

This fish weighed about ten pounds, and when Lin Zhen finished eating it, the little dog surprisingly managed to devour all the hundred pounds of crab meat in one go.

"This guy can really eat!"

Lin Zhen looked at the foodie and quietly closed his eyes. The power within him felt surging, so he decided to meditate for a while.

While meditating in the cave, the little dog lay down beside Lin Zhen's leg, occasionally rolling over and exposing its tiny belly, apparently treating Lin Zhen as its mother or owner.

During meditation, Lin Zhen became increasingly astonished.

It was not the power of the red fish that replenished his lost blood, but he discovered that within his Dantian, inside the Dark Star's core, a large amount of molten flame had actually appeared!

The original composition of the Dark Star was formed by dark energy, dark matter, light, electricity, and cold air, never having the power of flames. But now, a large amount of flame power had appeared, and it was hidden in the core of the Dark Star in a magma-like form, much like the huge amount of magma hidden within a planet's interior.

"Did I get this from the little dog?"

Lin Zhen thought carefully and deduced that when he fed the little dog with his own blood, he must have been nourished by the little dog's power.

The little dog's eyes occasionally showed the power of electricity and light, indicating that it had absorbed Lin Zhen's energy. Lin Zhen's Dark Star had also absorbed the little dog's power in the process, creating the molten flame.

This Dark Star gradually resembled a real planet.

The powers of electricity and light flowed and slowly revolved around, giving it the taste of a planet.

Lin Zhen was secretly delighted, as this time he gained a fortune from the disaster. The power of flames was very important to him.

In Lin Zhen's heart, he always had the desire to forge a Star Artifact. Otherwise, in his previous life, he would not have spent so much time studying the knowledge of Star Artifacts. However, to achieve this, it required the power of flames as a foundation. He never expected to obtain it so easily.

After meditating for a while and absorbing all the power from the red fish, Lin Zhen felt his condition had returned to normal, even better than before.

"You really are a little lucky star."

Lin Zhen picked up the golden red -maned lion dog at his feet and pinched its nose, "What's your name?"

The puppy's nostrils were not small but very cute. When Lin Zhen pinched its nose, it became uncomfortable and twisted, spraying out sparks from its nostrils with a faint smell of sulfur. A little bit of electric light even crackled and jumped for a moment.

"How about Xiaohong?"

It seemed that the puppy knew Lin Zhen was trying to give it a name and snorted out more sparks with dissatisfaction.

"How about Xiaojin?"

The sulfur smell became a little stronger, the dog even hummed a few times, and Lin Zhen seemed to see a hint of contempt in its eyes.

"Your body is so warm, let's call you Xiao Nuan."

The puppy paused with its head tilted, then stuck out its tongue and licked Lin Zhen's palm.

"Alright, let's settle on that. Xiao Nuan, let's get out of here with me."

Lin Zhen thought about the outside events. When he arrived, the tournament was only one week away. Another day had passed, and he still had to fetch two stones, so he couldn't delay any longer.

Lin Zhen walked ahead, and Xiao Nuan followed like a little lion behind him.

As soon as they reached the cave entrance, the magma below suddenly surged, threatening to flood the cave.

Lin Zhen hurriedly took out the liquid metal, preparing to turn it into a wall to block the lava again. Unexpectedly, Xiao Nuan jumped out and swallowed all the lava that had just entered the cave with one gulp. It even drank a large portion of the lava flowing up inside the volcano!

The lava that entered Xiao Nuan's mouth seemed to shrink rapidly, turning into a small red molten ball that disappeared in its stomach.

"Innate Devouring! This is the Galaxy Beast's Innate Devouring that kills all below the Star Realm in an instant. Such a perverted skill!"

Feeling the power of the Galaxy Beast in his heart, Lin Zhen took advantage of the opportunity to instantaneously move 100 meters away, flapping his Lightning Wings. Within two seconds, he flew out of the volcanic crater.

He thought that Xiao Nuan would take a while to come out, but when he looked back, he saw Xiao Nuan stepping on the void behind him. After it saw him, its body shook, shaking off a bunch of sparks.

"You… you can actually keep up with my speed?" Lin Zhen looked at the creature that resembled both a lion and a dog, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"Roar, roar!"

Xiao Nuan proudly called out two times, sounding a bit like a lion or tiger, yet with a bit of baby-like feel.

This was the first time Lin Zhen heard Xiao Nuan's cry, and he really didn't know what kind of breed this Galaxy Beast was.

At this time, the volcanic lava behind them finally erupted. Lin Zhen immediately flapped his Lightning Wings again, flying towards Crane Lake.

As they approached Crane Lake, the leisurely Xiao Nuan behind them suddenly roared. Its neck's fur exploded, and sparks spouted from its nostrils. The power of light and electricity occasionally burst forth, revealing the presence of the Star Realm again..

Chapter 245: Chapter 245: Domineering Stone Transformation (Fourth Update)

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen knew that Xiao Nuan was reacting to the threat of the S-level Mutated Poisonous Scorpion up ahead, so he quickly calmed Xiao Nuan down to prevent any rash actions.

An S-level Mutated Beast has power comparable to the Star Realm. Although beasts of the same level are generally not as strong as martial artists, their power is still quite formidable, so Lin Zhen didn't want Xiao Nuan to take any risks.

Even though Galaxy Beasts are born with the power of the Star Realm, making Xiao Nuan equivalent to an S-level Mutated Beast now, there were several Poisonous Scorpions at Crane Lake.

And Lin Zhen wanted to test himself to see if he could defeat an S-level Mutated Beast on his own.

He had Xiao Nuan stay in place and not move.

Xiao Nuan seemed to understand Lin Zhen's intent, and it really didnt move, just sitting there and swaying its long tail a few times.

After tossing it a large piece of crab meat, Lin Zhen headed towards Crane Lake alone.

As he approached, a poisonous scorpion rose from the surface of the lake and swiftly lunged at Lin Zhen.

He quickly drew his Broken Jade Spear and bravely met the challenge!

"Clang, clang, clang!"

After several clashes with the Poisonous Scorpion's pincers, Lin Zhen's confidence grew.

His speed and strength were barely enough to confront the Poisonous Scorpion. With the right tactics, it wasn't impossible for him to kill an S-level Mutated Beast.

At this moment, he was in perfect condition, so Lin Zhen used all of his techniques in a battle that lasted nearly half an hour.

"Thunder Kill!"

After dodging the Poisonous Scorpion's tail with a teleportation move, he thrust his spear through its abdomen. The Thunder Kill destroyed its internal organs, piercing through its body from behind!

The Poisonous Scorpion tried to escape in its severely injured state, but Lin Zhen teleported again above its head and launched another Thunder Kill to pierce through its skull, effectively killing the S-level Mutated Beast.

"Phew! No wonder killing S-level Mutated Beasts is considered a benchmark for evaluating the strength of War Gods. Even at the middle stage of the

Seventh -level War God, it took me half an hour to kill a Poisonous Scorpion.

This is almost as difficult as fighting against higher-level opponents."

After killing the Poisonous Scorpion, Lin Zhen extracted its crystal and was considering what to do with the corpse when Xiao Nuan came bounding over and started feasting on it.

Lin Zhen had witnessed Xiao Nuan swallowing large amounts of lava earlier and had grown somewhat accustomed to its astonishing appetite, but he still thought it ate too ferociously.

In just a few minutes, a body the size of a small car was completely devoured by Xiao Nuan.

But this time, the little guy seemed to be completely full. Atter eating, its eyelids began to droop and it lay down to sleep.

Being a newly born Galaxy Beast, it was still prone to getting tired easily. Naturally, after eating so much, it wanted to sleep.

With Xiao Nuan in his arms, Lin Zhen was unsure of what to do.

He couldn't put living beings in the vacuum of the Space Ring. Left with no choice, Lin Zhen placed Xiao Nuan on his back and used liquid metal to create a temporary nest for it. After all, it was only the size of a small dog, so putting it in the middle of his Lightning Wings was enough.

After settling Xiao Nuan, who was like a baby, Lin Zhen headed back towards Crane Lake.

He already had an idea of how to find the Cinnabar Stone in the lake. Although he could now defeat S-level Mutated Beasts, their vast numbers meant he would have to use a luring strategy.

With the current three times the speed of sound acceleration of his Lightning Wings, he could easily outrun the Poisonous Scorpions. Lin Zhen felt this plan was feasible.

As he approached the edge of the lake, another group of five or six Poisonous Scorpions emerged. Lin Zhen immediately slapped his Lightning Wings, lifting himself into the air and flying across the surface of the lake!

As Lin Zhen flew by, countless Poisonous Scorpions emerged from the water and closely followed him.

Lin Zhen remained calm and steadily zigzagged across the surface of the lake, attracting more and more Poisonous Scorpions to swarm the sky like locusts.

However, Lin Zhen's speed had already far surpassed that of the Poisonous Scorpions. Although there were many of them, they still couldn't catch up to him. Besides, Lin Zhen also had teleportation to escape any encirclement.

The massive swarm of Poisonous Scorpions trailed behind Lin Zhen like a dark cloud, numbering in the thousands, but they couldn't harm him in the slightest. After flying over the lake for five minutes and seeing no more Poisonous Scorpions emerge from the water, Lin Zhen decided to fly away from the crowd.

He didn't fly too fast, allowing the Poisonous Scorpions to keep up as best they could. After flying about a kilometer away, he knew that if he went any further they would cease their pursuit.

Then, Lin Zhen suddenly teleported!

After one teleport, he activated a three-fold acceleration with his Lightning Wings and flew another kilometer in a blink of an eye before teleporting again.

The swarm of Poisonous Scorpions suddenly lost their target, dawdling in the air for a while before gradually returning to Crane Lake.

From the moment Lin Zhen disappeared until the Poisonous Scorpions returned to the lake, about four or five minutes had passed. During that time, Lin Zhen had explored roughly one-tenth of the lake bottom using the speed of the Lightning Wings.

As the Poisonous Scorpions returned, Lin Zhen left the lake and began his second round of luring.

This time, Lin Zhen's luck wasn't too bad. On the fifth attempt, he finally found the unique meteorite at the bottom of the lake.

The Cinnabar Stone!

The Cinnabar Stone was crimson all over, with natural properties that granted immunity to all poisons once absorbed.

Once he obtained the stone, Lin Zhen immediately returned to a safe area on Fire Burning Mountain and began to meditate to absorb it.

About three hours later, Lin Zhen completely absorbed the Cinnabar Stone.

After absorbing the Cinnabar Stone, there were no visible changes to his body, but Lin Zhen knew that every cell of his had undergone some subtle changes, and an antibody had been added inside.

When the absorption was completed, Xiao Nuan on his back was still sound asleep, unaffected by such intense battles.

Lin Zhen got up again and flew towards White Dragon Lake.

Although he wanted to stay at Crane Lake for some more time and collect some S-level Scorpion Crystals, the speed of killing scorpions was too slow, and he had to leave due to time constraints.

Back in the poisonous fog area, Lin Zhen first used a Spiritual Barrier to wrap himself and entered the fog before tentatively sticking out a finger.

No reaction!

Lin Zhen was overjoyed, as expected, this kind of antibody can resist the invasion of toxins. In this way, the poisonous fog has no effect on him.

The only problem now is the white python under the lake water.

However, the threat of this quasi-S-tier mutated beast to Lin Zhen was far less than that of the scorpions. As long as Lin Zhen did not go deep into the python group, there would be no major problems. He entered the poisonous fog area and began to wipe out the snakes along the riverbank.

As water pythons attacked Lin Zhen one after another, he was able to kill two every minute. This battle lasted for a full four hours before the number of white pythons on the shore gradually dwindled.

Blood almost dyed the lake water red, and the white pythons were not completely unintelligent. They gradually began to distance themselves from the humans who could easily kill them.

With no more attacks from the white pythons, Lin Zhen collected hundreds of quasi-S-tier crystals before finally being able to dive into the water smoothly.

About three hours later, Lin Zhen emerged from the water and returned to the Fire Burning Mountain area, holding another meteorite in his hand – a Domineering Stone!

The Domineering Stone is a black meteorite.

It is not ordinary black, not the usual black, but pure black.

It's so black that it feels like endless eternal night; on this stone, Lin Zhen could not find any trace of other colors.

It weighed hundreds of kilograms in his hand, and Lin Zhen could feel the vitality and energy contained within.

"Great! All this trouble was for you. Only by absorbing the Domineering Stone can I achieve the greatest increase in strength and gain the capital to compete for the War God's Knockout."

Checking the time, there were only four days left before the start of the War God's Knockout rematch. Lin Zhen immediately began to absorb the Domineering Stone.

First, he took the little warmth from his back and placed it to one side. Lin Zhen unfastened his clothes and placed the Domineering Stone on his Dantian lower abdomen.

Quietly running the Dantian Qi, the energy in the Domineering Stone was immediately attracted by the Qi and entered Lin Zhen's body with a bang!

This power was so strong that Lin Zhen quickly gathered his Dantian Qi to guide the energy into his limbs and hundreds of skeletons.

Unlike the lukewarm Cinnabar Stone, the power of the Domineering Stone was painful as soon as it entered Lin Zhen's body!

"Ah!"

Lin Zhen threw his head back and let out a roar, his body screaming!

Within his skin, every cell moved violently, becoming more resilient!

In his blood, every drop of blood seemed to boil and become more vigorous.

His muscles twisted and stretched, becoming stronger under the powerful effect of the Domineering Stone.

In his internal organs, every part of them contained even stronger vitality at this moment. Even if Lin Zhen did not advance to the Star Realm, his physical body alone would allow him to live for 300-500 years without any problems!

Even in his bones, the bone marrow inside became richer and more concentrated, making his blood-forming function even stronger.

Even just raising his head, his bones made cracking sounds, showing the transformation effects.

His vision was improving, and Lin Zhen could see the molten rock fragments spewing out of the Fire Burning Mountain in the distance.

His hearing became more sensitive, and Lin Zhen could even hear the breathing sounds of the water pythons in White Dragon Lake spraying out poisonous fog.

His sense of smell also became clearer, and Lin Zhen could feel the faint smell of blood wafting over from afar.

His sense of touch was also becoming more sensitive, and Lin Zhen could feel where the wind was stronger or weaker as it blew past, and even when volcanic ash landed on his skin, he could clearly feel it.

Even that area's ability grew stronger, although he hadn't tested it yet, Lin Zhen could easily feel it because the Domineering Stone strengthened all human bodily functions.

Except for the Dantian Qi and Spiritual Power, which will not be enhanced due to the effect of the Domineering Stone, all other aspects are being comprehensively strengthened!

"What a powerful force! Keep growing! I can bear it!"

Although this transformation was extremely painful, Lin Zhen's willpower and soul strength had reached a point where no pain could bring him down.

He was waiting, waiting for the transformation to be completed, waiting for the moment when the clouds cleared and the moon shone brightly!

Chapter 246: Chapter 246: Yue Zhenhua's Demise (Fifth Arrival)

Translator: 549690339

Outside White Dragon Lake, on the edge of the dense fog, Yue Zhenhua was anxiously pacing around.

Ma Yao was bringing him some food: 'Master, please eat something." "No, I won't eat! What am I supposed to eat? I'm not in the mood."

Yue Zhenhua knocked over the food. Ma Yao frowned in annoyance. He was tired of serving this domineering leader, whose temper had just gotten worse over time.

"What's taking Lin Zhen so long? The War God's Knockout is in three days. Isn't he planning to participate?"

"Maybe Lin Zhen is already dead inside." Ma Yao suggested.

"Impossible! Although Lin Zhen has been in there for a long time, I can feel he isn't dead. You wouldn't know, promotions to the Star Realm require opportunities. My opportunity lies with Lin Zhen. If he had died, I'd certainly feel something. But I'm not feeling any sort of relief. I can sense that he's still alive, and doing quite well."

Ma Yao was not sure about advancing to the Star Realm, but he didn't wish to stay here anyway. He hesitated before wanting to speak and leave. Just then, Wei Li came running and said to Yue Zhenhua: "Master, I'm leaving." "Leaving? What are you leaving for?" Yue Zhenhua abruptly turned to ask.

"Well, the War God's Knockout is about to start. All the martial artists have to prepare in advance. I've recently advanced to the Level Eight War God, and since Lin Zhen is not showing any signs of activity, I need to go back and prepare. "

"Hmph! Go then, I don't need you to succeed." Yue Zhenhua was somewhat vexed.

He suddenly thought of something and looked at Ma Yao: "Are you planning to leave too?"

"Yes, master, as the time is drawing near, I also wish to…"

"Fine, just go! Your presence here doesn't mean much. In fact, you're just a burden and not at all helpful. He Liu is the only one needed here."

Even though Yue Zhenhua hadn't made much progress in this period, He Liu had already advanced to a Level Nine War God. His power had improved to the point of being on par with Yue Zhenhua. He believed that the two of them together were more than enough to defeat Lin Zhen.

Getting their desired chance to leave, Ma Yao and Wei Li quickly walked away.

"Two good-for-nothing people!"

Yue Zhenhua cursed and continued to wait by White Dragon Lake.

With the departures of Ma Yao and Wei Li, most people left the Five Connected Pools area.

Once the substitution of Crystals for Dark Energy was announced, almost all the War Gods who could come, did. After almost three months here, everyone wanted to rest.

Additionally, the War God's Knockout was about to begin, and people were quite interested in the event. There was no mobile signal in this ancient God Ruins, so you couldn't watch it from here.

Although admission was expensive, at a hundred million per entry, the number of War Gods with financial difficulties was small, and most could afford a billion or two.

Only War Gods with poor conditions and shallow pockets stayed here, not even thinking of going to watch even when the War God's Knockout began. These people were essentially uninterested in worldly affairs.

However, such people often achieved limited accomplishments. Merely focusing on cultivation couldn't lead them to the peak. Martial artists always required countless resources and opportunities. Even if they cultivated to the War God Realm, they wouldn't have much competitive strength playing against others.

With the departure of most War Gods, the bustling Five Connected Pools area fell quiet again.

Only Yue Zhenhua at White Dragon Lake, He Liu at the entrance, and a few War Gods committed to intense cultivation remained.

The topic of the War God's Knockout was also gathering heat outside.

This time the War God's Knockout still used virtual battles, but not in the Heavenly Garden environment anymore, it had now moved to the arena.

Every street corner of all the Base Cities had erected large screens. People would now be able to see the actual combat situations—live broadcasts.

The total of a thousand and twenty-four participating War Gods from all over the globe would have every one of their battles broadcasted on these large screens.

The topic of who could take the crown was constantly discussed. Even though all three warriors from Sand Russia were eliminated by Lin Zhen, Huo Luofu was still considered the hot favourite for the title.

Underground betting shops had already begun accepting bets. Apart from betting on the champion, they also took bets on what ranks the martial artists could reach, each with different odds.

Other than Huo Luofu, who had very high odds, several others closely followed him.

For example, Duke from America, Ai Er and Chris from the European Union, Bogba from the African Union, Shah and Omar from India, Sang Ji from Brazil, Feng Ni, Tang Wenbo, He Liu, and Su Mingyue from Hua Xia all made the list.

As the top-ranked warrior of the previous qualifiers' kill rankings, Lin Zhen also made the bookies' list.

However, Lin Zhen's odds were not high. Because in the previous match, Huo

Luofu revealed that Lin Zhen chose to flee under his attack. This indicated Lin Zhen would not be a match for Huo Luofu, and likely their power gap was quite huge.

The War God's Knockout was not the Heavenly Garden, it wouldn't allow you to escape everywhere. At that time, Lin Zhen's speed advantage would be useless.

After all, in people's view, Lin Zhen was a Spiritual Mind Master and a natural Divine Speedster. Speed was his forte.

Moreover, there's an important factor. Currently, Lin Zhen was still blocked in the Five Connected Pools by Yue Zhenhua. Whether he could come out was uncertain. If he couldn't even leave that place, there was no point discussing the War God's Knockout.

Thus, Lin Zhen's odds of winning the championship were quite high, with an eight-to-one payout.

This betting rate was second only to those unknown War Gods. It was almost an insult for the one who ranked first in the last pre-selection killing list.

However, people think this is normal considering the presence of Yue Zhenhua, who is almost at the Star Realm. The chances of Lin Zhen coming out were indeed slight.

A day passed without any news from Lin Zhen, but instead, the War Gods from the Five Connected Pools had come out, bringing back news of Yue Zhenhua and He Liu still blocking the path. They planned to block it until an hour before the start of the War God's Knockout match.

Upon this news, the betting rate against Lin Zhen dropped further, becoming one to fifteen.

Now, there were less than forty-eight hours left before the start of the War God's Knockout match.

At the foot of Fire Burning Mountain, Xiao Nuan was munching on a whole crab that Lin Zhen had left for it.

Its mouth had a miraculous ability to shrink large things, then swallow and chew them easily. This crab that weighed several thousand pounds was devoured without a trace by Xiao Nuan's tiny body of less than twenty pounds.

After eating its fill, Xiao Nuan happily rolled around on the ground, waiting for Lin Zhen to wake up.

Lin Zhen's transformation had now taken three full days.

By midday, Xiao Nuan, who had been drowsily squinting, suddenly perked up its ears and, with a roll, turned to look at Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen, covered in a thick layer of volcanic ash, opened his eyes.

"Finally, it's done!"

With a sudden movement, Lin Zhen stood up from the ground. His Dantian energy gathered, and most of the ash was shaken off, like an explosion in a pile of dirt.

After waving his arms a couple of times, Lin Zhen felt a surging strength in his body. Although his realm had not advanced, his power had almost doubled at this moment!

"What a formidable Domineering Stone, and such a strong vitality! My speed, strength, and body resilience have all increased remarkably. Even though my Dantian energy has not improved, and my mental power has not progressed, this body, just based on physical strength alone, could match an average advanced war god even without activating Dantian energy!"

"Whew!"

Xiao Nuan rushed over and landed in Lin Zhen's arms, extending its tongue to lick him.

Lin Zhen laughed as he avoided its licks, saying: "I really don't know what kind of galaxy beast you are. You're really just like a little dog. Once we return, I'll get you a pet certificate. Otherwise, it won't be easy to take you out."

In the era following the God Transformation Calendar, pets had become nearly extinct, evolving into mutated beasts. Even when new pets were gradually bred, the government forbade people from keeping them as pets because they could potentially become threats and harm humans if mutated.

Only those with certain privileges could keep pets, but they also had to obtain valid certificates. If a pet mutated, it would have to be put down immediately, and if it injured someone, there would be hefty compensation.

Lin Zhen, being an Advanced War God, was qualified to keep a pet. As Xiao Nuan looked like a lion dog, he should be able to get a pet certificate for it. "Let's go! Time to move!"

Lin Zhen's Lightning Wings appeared, and with a flap, he headed straight for the poisonous fog area.

Xiao Nuan followed Lin Zhen with its tongue lolling out. Seeing Lin Zhen speeding up, it mistakenly thought Lin Zhen was playing with it. It kept circling around Lin Zhen, even overtaking Lin Zhen with its speed.

Lin Zhen could only comfort himself by thinking that a Galaxy Beast, capable of traveling through cosmic space, naturally had incredible speed. It was normal, very normal…

Xiao Nuan didn't seem to care about the poisonous fog at all and followed Lin Zhen through it.

Yue Zhenhua, who had been waiting by the bank of White Dragon Lake for ages, suddenly rose to his feet.

"Someone's coming out! Is it Lin Zhen?"

His eyes sparkled with excitement; Lin Zhen was finally coming out. Once he defeated Lin Zhen, he could immediately advance to the Star Realm.

A passage suddenly opened in the middle of the fog, and a person flapping his long wings was flying quickly towards them.

"It's you, Lin Zhen! You finally decided to come out. Now die for me!"

Yue Zhenhua had been waiting for this moment. His long sword materialized, and a violent wind surrounded him. His mental power constantly locked on Lin Zhen, preventing him from teleporting. He was ready to strike a heavy blow!

Lin Zhen also saw Yue Zhenhua and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Yue Zhenhua, times have changed. It's your turn to taste the flavor of defeat!"

With the Broken Jade Spear in hand, Lin Zhen vibrated the spear shaft and accelerated again, reaching Yue Zhenhua's side in an instant!

The spear thrust forward, the sword slashed down. They collided, and Yue Zhenhua's sword was knocked aside. Lin Zhen's hair fluttered in the wind, and his spear continued to advance, aiming to pierce Yue Zhenhua's throat!

"In your dreams!" Yue Zhenhua was terrified and pushed back with all his strength.

The two weapons clashed, producing a harsh, grating sound.

Yue Zhenhua wielded his sword with both hands, concentrating all his strength into this one attack. The peak power of the pre-Star Realm erupted out, but to his disbelief, Lin Zhen's spear was pressing down on him like a mountain!

His arms were trembling, his bones were trembling, and a surge of blood welled up in his chest. After only one second, Yue Zhenhua, who was toughing it out against Lin Zhen, suddenly lost his strength!

"Ahh!"

Yue Zhenhua let out a roar, as if he could no longer suppress the blood surge. He coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood skyward.. In his eyes, his blood looked like a beautiful sunset, stunningly beautiful but inevitably coming to an end!

Translator: 549690339

A mouthful of blood sprayed into the air, and Yue Zhenhua's entire body's Wind Element burst out at this moment. The fierce gale violently carried his body backward!

"Pfft!"

The Star Device Armor on his chest was struck by the Broken Jade Spear.

Generally speaking, High Grade Celestial Device Armor is slightly stronger than a High Grade Celestial Device Spear. Normally, the spear couldn't pierce through the armor.

Yue Zhenhua, relying on the defense of the Star Device Armor, despite spitting out a mouthful of blood, could still escape. He violently retreated backward!

Lin Zhen moved a step on the cloud, following Yue Zhenhua like a ghost. Streams of golden aura were imbued into the Broken Jade.

"Do you think this turtle shell can save your life? Break it for me!"

Under the blessing of the golden aura, the Broken Jade's grade instantly reached that of a Top Quality Star Device!

Suddenly, lightning surged around Yue Zhenhua's chest cavity. The High Grade Celestial Device Armor could no longer withstand the attack, and the spear pierced through his body!

At this moment, Yue Zhenhua's sword was thrown away, and his hands desperately gripped the spearhead of Lin Zhen, trying to move it away.

The two fell from the sky, Lin Zhen's arm exerting force, pressing the spear firmly against Yue Zhenhua as they headed straight for the ground.

Yue Zhenhua spat blood from the corner of his mouth. With both hands gripping the spear, he launched a mental attack at Lin Zhen!

"Bang!"

The backlash of the distance almost made his head explode; his spiritual power was actually weaker than Lin Zhen's now!

This backlash completely cut off Yue Zhenhua's hope of resistance. Lin Zhen's spear lunged forward, pressing down on Yue Zhenhua from above and pinning him to the ground!

"Ugh…!!" Blood overflowed from the corner of Yue Zhenhua's mouth again. At this moment, he finally admitted that Lin Zhen's strength was now above his, and he was no longer a match.

Now he had no strength to fight back. Although the spear did not pierce his heart, the blood groove on both sides of the Broken Jade was bleeding simultaneously. If he did not receive timely treatment, he would not survive five minutes!

"Lin Zhen… let me go, and we'll wipe the slate clean between us. I'll give you the position of Gale's Grand Master," Yue Zhenhua said as he struggled in his dying moments.

"I'm sorry, but as far as I know, who becomes the Gale Grand Master isn't up to you. It's supposed to be appointed by Chen Fenglie. Can you influence Chen Fenglie's decision?" said Lin Zhen with disdain.

"If you let me go, I promise I'll obey you in everything. Gale will be under your command behind the scenes. How about that?" Yue Zhenhua threw out another bait.

Hearing this, Lin Zhen's heart wavered slightly. If he could really control Gale behind the scenes, that would indeed be a good thing.

But he woke up sharply right after, realizing that it was absolutely impossible!

If he truly controlled Gale secretly, Chen Fenglie would certainly notice something. That would definitely challenge his bottom line. Although Lin Zhen's strength was admirable, it was far from Chen Fenglie's heights and he couldn't confront him just yet.

Lin Zhen also considered controlling Yue Zhenhua with spiritual power, but that wouldn't work either. Chen Fenglie was also a Spiritual Mind Master, and his spiritual power was extremely strong. Lin Zhen's Soul Lock would be exposed in front of him, and might even be broken by him, which would also infuriate him to the death.

He coldly looked at Yue Zhenhua, "You truly deserve to die. Now go and meet your dead son."

With a single-handed exertion, the Broken Jade Spear stirred inside Yue Zhenhua's body!

"Ugh…

Mouthfuls of blood poured down from his mouth, and looking at the spear in his chest, Yue Zhenhua raised his head, unable to accept this, and said to Lin Zhen,"I haven't even reached the Star Realm yet. This is impossible…"

Lin Zhen looked at the once-dominant Gale Grand Master with a trace of disdain in his eyes, "Since you think it's impossible, then consider it an illusion. Life is like a dream, just live in the dream."

"In the dream… Mr. Chen Fenglie will avenge me… ugh!"

Unable to say anything more, Yue Zhenhua fell face up and died on the spot!

He hadn't even had the chance to use his Wind Element attack. His sword was already at a disadvantage against the spear. Moreover, his current strength was indeed inferior to Lin Zhen, and death was the only outcome.

After killing Yue Zhenhua with a single spear thrust, Lin Zhen took his Space Ring and casually threw his corpse into the poisonous fog of White Dragon Lake.

When he was disposing of the body, Lin Zhen saw Xiao Nuan glance at the corpse and seemed to want to move.

Lin Zhen hurriedly grabbed its fur and lifted it up. The Galaxy Beast could eat anything, but Lin Zhen would never allow him to eat people.

Xiao Nuan looked at Lin Zhen aggrievedly, not understanding what he had done wrong.

"Xiao Nuan! If you want to continue following me, you must never think about eating people. You can bite a bad guy to death and steal his ring if you want, but if you don't comply, I'll kick you back to your kennel," Lin Zhen issued a deadly command.

With incredibly sensitive hearing, Lin Zhen could even hear the sound of Yue Zhenhua's body being corroded by the poison fog. He let out a long sigh.

Lin Zhen had no mercy in his heart; he had seen too many deaths of martial artists. Yue Zhenhua was not the first, nor would he be the last.

As for Yue Zhenhua's claim that Chen Fenglie would avenge him, Lin Zhen thought it was possible, but he was not worried at all.

In his previous life, Chen Fenglie was recognized as the number one master, having made great contributions during the fight against extraterrestrial civilization. Lin Zhen knew that he was definitely not a bad person, and that he generally did not care much about worldly matters.

However, Lin Zhen had killed Yue Zhenhua, and Gale was created by Chen Fenglie who had entrusted his management to Yue Zhenhua. Lin Zhen's actions were equivalent to slapping Chen Fenglie's face, and one day in the future, he would have to confront him, so it was best to be mentally prepared for this.

Having dealt with Yue Zhenhua, Lin Zhen hurriedly sprinted towards the entrance of Five Connected Pools.

When he arrived at the entrance, he saw He Liu again.

He Liu didn't know that Yue Zhenhua was dead, and was about to leave as the War God's Knockout was starting the next day. He didnt want to continue staying, but before he could say goodbye to Yue Zhenhua, Lin Zhen appeared.

"You… How did you get out?"

"Should I stay in there forever?" Lin Zhen smiled and looked at He Liu.

It was then that He Liu noticed that Lin Zhen was now a Seventh -Level War God.

This discovery made his eyelids twitch. When he entered, he was already at Level Eight Peak; after nearly three months of bitter practice, he barely broke through to Level 9, which was already a fast pace. If there weren't so many crystals, this couldn't have been possible.

But when he first saw Lin Zhen, he was only at the early Fifth Level, and now he was already in the middle of Seventh Level!

He Liu had only increased a small level, after all, Level Eight Peak and Level 9 were not that far apart.

However, Lin Zhen had advanced by more than two full levels!

He Liu would hardly believe it had he not seen it with his own eyes. He was uneasy because this young man had great potential, and it was possible that he would become a threat eventually if not eliminated as soon as possible. But not seeing Yue Zhenhua made him more uncertain: "Where is Master Yue?"

Lin Zhen sneered: "You'll see him soon."

Shaking his spear, Lin Zhen didn't want to argue with He Liu and directly rushed towards him!

At this point, He Liu had no choice but to engage in combat with Lin Zhen.

As soon as they clashed, He Liu knew he was finished. How did Lin Zhen's strength increase so quickly? Even though he was only a Seventh-Level War God, He Liu felt completely crushed by his opponent!

The first spear from Lin Zhen broke He Liu's sword!

With the second spear, He Liu had seven or eight wounds on his body and blood was gushing out!

With the third spear, Lin Zhen threw He Liu against a distant mountainside, leaving him barely alive!

Seeing Lin Zhen relentlessly approaching, He Liu almost despaired.

This was not a fair fight!

In his panic, He Liu launched a Mental Shock, but Lin Zhen was unshaken. On the contrary, He Liu felt dizzy and disoriented.

How could he have such strong spiritual power?Confused, He Liu saw Lin Zhen reach out and pull him from the mountainside with a strong force, causing him to heavily fall in front of Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen raised his Broken Jade Spear, ready to put an end to He Liu.

At this point, He Liu saw a little hope, because he noticed a small dog next to Lin Zhen.

The little dog seemed very valuable, with its golden fur shining and a circle of bright red mane around its neck, and a long tail like a beautiful little lion.

In these times, not many people raised pets, but if they did, it must be a cherished one.

He Liu suddenly had an idea, seeing the small dog jumping towards him, looking like it was going to bite him.

"Lin Zhen and I have no deep hatred, I was just following Yue Zhenhua's orders to deal with him. If I could kidnap his dog, maybe Lin Zhen would spare my life, because sometimes people's lives aren't worth more than a dog's." With that thought in mind, He Liu acted decisively!

He suddenly sprang up, grabbed Xiao Nuan, and held the broken sword to the little dog's chin while roaring at Lin Zhen: "Lin Zhen, if you push me any further, I'll kill your dog."

In He Liu's mind, Lin Zhen should have one of two reactions at this point.

The first would be panic and bargaining with He Liu to save his dog. With this leverage, He Liu would stand a chance to survive if he could hold the dog hostage.

The second would be Lin Zhen completely uncaring, continuing his attack. In that case, He Liu would feel utterly hopeless; killing Lin Zhen's dog would be meaningless in the end.

So, he stared anxiously into Lin Zhen's eyes, trying to discern his fate from them.

Yet what he saw was incomprehensible.

Lin Zhen first glared at the dog, then looked at him with a mix of pity and sadness. Putting away the Broken Jade Spear, Lin Zhen actually walked straight towards the exit of Five Connected Pools, with an unclear intention..

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Pay Extra for Exchange

At Lin Zhen's house, the black specter hovered above as Lin Zhen and Xiao Nuan walked out.

It seemed as if there were invisible steps in the sky, and Lin Zhen walked down to the ground while the black specter disappeared into the air.

The villa door opened, and Lin Liye and Li Qin rushed out.

"Son, you're finally back."

Seeing his worried parents, Lin Zhen felt a little emotional.

His parents were now part of the Martial Artists and could log into the Martial Artists' forum to check news, so they naturally knew that Lin Zhen was in danger.

"Dad, mom, there will be many situations like this in the future. You don't need to worry too much about me. I have good luck, and these things are nothing to me."

Lin Zhen gave his parents two gifts – two space rings.

These two rings were from Yue Zhenhua and He Liu. Lin Zhen took off Yue Zhenhua's ring, and Xiao Nuan, under Lin Zhen's warning, didn't eat people but killed He Liu and took off his ring to give to Lin Zhen.

There were quite a few equipment inside the rings, even two lower-grade Star Artifacts, attack weapons, and complete sets for physical and mental defense.

Lin Zhen went inside the house with his parents and told them what to use at what stage, and also gave them a billion in pocket money each.

Seeing their son safe and bringing back so many good things, they were very happy. Li Qin said to Lin Zhen, "You don't know, that Li Mengxi came again yesterday. "

"She came again?" Lin Zhen frowned.

"Yes, she came over to persuade us, saying that you would definitely be fine, and we shouldn't worry about anything. She also brought us a lot of good food." Lin Liye added.

"Didn't you tell her that I have a girlfriend?"

Li Qin hesitated, and in the end, it was Lin Liye who said, "I wanted to say it, but your mother disagreed. She thinks your girlfriend is unreliable. We checked a lot of information about the Saintess of Gods Clan these days, and Saintesses cannot get married. If they do, they can't continue being Saintesses. So, can things between you two work out?"

Lin Zhen helplessly said, "Mom, dad, don't worry about this. I will definitely bring Yue'er back, and even if Yue'er can't come, my daughter-in-law won't be Li Mengxi."

Lin Zhen didn't have any good feelings towards Li Mengxi, but she never said anything to him, just came to see his parents time and time again. Lin Zhen didn't take this matter seriously at the beginning, but now it seems that he has to deal with it.

In the end, he still needed to bring his girlfriend back to reassure his parents, but unfortunately, Su Mingyue couldn't come with him for now.

At this moment, Lin Zhen suddenly thought of An Ning.

Where had An Ning gone? He hadn't heard from her for a long time. Duo Long said she had returned to Ice City and might even participate in the War God's Knockout, but why hadn't he seen her?

Seeing that there was still a day before the War God's Knockout started, Lin Zhen tidied up at home, took a refreshing bath, changed into a clean white casual outfit, and called Yang Jianying to tell him that he had adopted a pet, a Lion Dog, and asked the martial arts hall to help handle a certificate.

Yang Jianying was surprised by Lin Zhen's call and didn't expect that Lin Zhen, who was rumored to have possibly died in the Five Connected Pools, was actually out. This was great news.

He immediately agreed to help. Nowadays, the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall was gradually stabilizing, and handling a pet certificate was just a matter of a few words for him.

In just a short amount of time, Xiao Nuan had become familiar with Lin Zhen's parents. Under Lin Zhen's guidance, it knew who were his family members. The intelligence of Galaxy Beasts was not inferior to that of children, so it quickly became familiar with the yard and treated it as its home.

With Xiao Nuan at home, Lin Zhen didn't need to worry about the safety of the house. Although this little thing was only recently born, its Innate Devouring skill was enough to deal with anyone below the Star Realm.

Lin Zhen checked the internet for news about the War God's Knockout. The competition would start tomorrow morning. There were even underground gambling activities, with odds for various Martial Artists to win the championship.

Looking at his own odds, they had already reached one to twenty!

He had just killed Yue Zhenhua and He Liu and immediately returned on the black specter. It had been less than an hour, and the news had not yet spread.

Seeing this, Lin Zhen curled his lips, thought for a moment, transferred 50 billion from his card, and placed all of it on his championship win.

This time, the gambling stakes on the War God's Knockout were several trillion. Losing one trillion to himself was nothing, right?

Anyway, the 50 billion had no use in Lin Zhen's hands. If he lost, he wouldn't feel sorry, but if he won, it would be very useful.

After placing the 50 billion bet, Lin Zhen received a message.

"Respected Mr. Lin Zhen, your First Blood reward in the virtual world has been released. Please claim it online."

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. He hadn't used the draw prize opportunity for his First Blood yet.

When Lin Zhen exchanged gemstone fragments before, the reward for First Blood hadn't been released yet. He didn't expect it to come out now. The timing seemed a bit coincidental.

Once he logged in, Lin Zhen was stunned.

It wasn't a roulette-style draw but a "pay and choose" one.

There were ten high-grade Star Artifacts in total. Among them were four weapons, of which Lin Zhen could choose any one he liked.

Four armors were also included. If Lin Zhen wanted them, he could choose any of them for an additional 30 billion each.

One is a mental defense necklace, which is worth the value of a general top-quality Star Artifact. It can block all mental attacks below the Diamond Level. To claim it, you need to pay an extra 300 billion.

The other one is a set of flying knives, Seven Stars Knife, with seven knives in total. Each knife alone is a small-sized high-grade Star Artifact. To claim it, you need to pay an extra 500 billion.

This time Lin Zhen didn't even pay attention to the mental defense necklace.

The seven flying knives, each just more than a foot long, caught Lin Zhen's eye.

"Attribute-less flying knives! They are actually attribute-less flying knives! This is not just a high-grade Star Artifact at all; it's a top-quality Star Artifact set! Although each of them alone is a high-grade one, they are attribute-less and made of pure white meteorite iron. After infusing energy, each one becomes a top-quality Star Artifact flying knife!"

Lin Zhen knew that there was a material in the starry sky called White Meteorite Iron, which was a type of meteorite and very rare. The weapons made of this material weren't particularly good, reaching at most the level of high-grade Star Artifacts, but it had a unique feature: energy infusion.

It was like a piece of white paper; whatever color you applied to it, it would become that color.

Once energy was infused, the quality would improve, and a high-grade Star Artifact would become a top-quality one.

Moreover, these seven flying knives all came from the same piece of white meteorite iron, which made them even more valuable.

"I understand. The one who created these Seven Stars knives wanted all seven to be infused with energy by the same person, so the knives would have no rejection issues. If they were made from the same piece of meteorite iron and the same person infused them, the quality of this set of knives would surpass the category of Star Artifacts."

"That person just couldn't find someone who could have seven energy elements at the same time."

Lin Zhen secretly calculated his own situation. At present, he had three types of elemental energy he could freely control: lightning, light, and golden energy.

Moreover, there were ice and flame elements within the Dark Star. If he could master them too, he would have five kinds of elements.

If he could master two more elements, this set of Seven Stars knives would undoubtedly be a supreme treasure.

Lin Zhen silently made up his mind. He had to get this set of knives.

As for why the War God Alliance provided such a choice, Lin Zhen had a guess: they probably wanted to swindle some money from him. After all, who wouldn't want to choose some good Star Artifacts compared to the bad ones?

The War God Alliance was currently controlled by the European Union, the United States, and Sand Russia; maybe this was someone's wicked idea.

But these people didn't know the true value of the Seven Stars knives and thought they were just slightly worse high-grade Star Artifacts. They wanted to use them to swindle Lin Zhen out of 500 billion.

Lin Zhen hadn't used flying knives for a long time, not because he didn't want to, but because he had lost them near the Star Fruit Tree and hadn't found suitable replacements since. This set of Seven Stars knives filled that void nicely.

However, their 500 billion value made Lin Zhen feel a bit of pain. He had just spent 500 billion on a bet, and now he only had 120 billion left.

Seeing this, Lin Zhen couldn't help but regret not betting later.

Then he realized some things: after paying online, someone must have been monitoring his account, knowing that he was out of money, and deliberately arranged this situation to make him uncomfortable. Otherwise, these seven Star Artifact flying knives wouldn't appear in the rewards.

"To deal with me, they are really using every trick in the book. If I can't get the flying knives or mental defense Star Artifacts, I will definitely feel frustrated; they really want to set me up." extra 300 billion.

Moreover, there is a time limit for this money exchange, requiring Lin Zhen to complete within an hour, and there are only 55 minutes left now.

"But they still don't know the potential of this set of knives. The 500 billion price is too little; this is not something that can be measured by money on Earth. I must get this set of Seven Stars knives, but where will the money come from?"

Lin Zhen searched his contact list. This wasn't a small amount of money; there was a gap of nearly 400 billion, and ordinary people couldn't afford it.

People like Zhao Liang might have a few billion at most, and probably no one had a fortune of more than 10 billion.

Yang Jianying wasn't capable either. Although he was the hall master, 400 billion was astronomical to him as well.

Su Mingyue couldn't help either. While Yue'er was willing to provide for him, she didn't have money, and as far as Lin Zhen knew, she barely needed to spend any money.

An Ning might have money, but Lin Zhen hadn't been able to find her for a long time. Moreover, he wasn't thick-skinned enough to directly ask her for money.

Finally, Lin Zhen found Hansen. Hansen was Soul Locked by him, and if he had money, he would never hesitate.

With a desperate mindset, Lin Zhen called Hansen.

The call was quickly connected, and Lin Zhen explained the situation. Hansen said, "Lin, I don't have 400 billion. Even if I sold all of my assets, they wouldn't exceed 50 billion. But I can ask Alice for help, so wait a moment."

Lin Zhen waited for about ten minutes, and Hansen called back, excitedly saying, "Lin, we have the 400 billion! Give me your account number!"

Lin Zhen was overjoyed, gave Hansen his account number, and in less than a minute, the 400 billion was transferred.

After receiving the money, Lin Zhen asked, "Does Alice have so much money

"Alice doesn't. Her wealth isn't much higher than mine."

"Then who is it?" Lin Zhen asked curiously.

"This… the young lady told me to keep it a secret, and I can't tell you." Hansen said seriously.

"Ouch!" As soon as Hansen finished speaking, it seemed as if he was heavily hit, and then the phone hung up.

Lin Zhen was dumbfounded. The young lady…. Why was it her?

Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Elimination Round Begins (3rd update)

Translator: 549690339

After Hansen's money was transferred, Lin Zhen immediately added fifty billion to secure the set of Seven Stars Knives.

He had stayed in the Five Connected Pools for three months, and the price of Star Artifact had fallen further. Now, a High Grade Celestial Device worth a hundred billion was definitely the top quality among them.

Prices for ordinary weapons were around twenty to thirty billion, while armor ranged from fifty to sixty billion. Only the prices of auxiliary types remained high.

After obtaining the Seven Stars Knives, the First Blood reward ended, Lin Zhen only had two billion left, and still owed forty billion in debt.

About an hour later, the Seven Stars Knives were delivered to Lin Zhen.

As Lin Zhen held the set of knives, he felt an indescribable joy.

The seven knives were about a foot long, more like large daggers, and each knife looked exactly the same in material, color, weight, and quality.

White Meteorite Iron was extremely rare in the Star Realm, let alone from the same piece of meteorite iron.

"If one day I could infuse energy into this entire set of flying knives, I wonder what quality it could achieve?"

Lin Zhen picked up one of the knives, and he could now infuse three of them, Lightning, Radiance, and Metal Essence.

With twenty hours left until the start of the War God's Knockout, Lin Zhen didn't go elsewhere but stayed at home to start working.

First, he infused the knife with Metal Essence.

Metal was the head of the Five Elements, and the infused flying knife was bound to be the sharpest and most lethal. Lin Zhen wanted to complete it first.

Dark Star circulated within his body, strands of sharp metallic essence seeped from Lin Zhen's body and entered the White Meteorite Iron.

As time passed, the color of the flying knife gradually changed.

It evolved from white, gradually turning golden and tinged with green, giving an incredibly sharp sensation….

The much-anticipated War God's Knockout finally began!

Continuous promotion from around the world has pushed the War God's Knockout to a new peak, which is not only a knockout match but also an important event related to the fate of nations.

The rules had been established; if a War God wins the knockout, the country they represent ranked first in the War God Alliance!

The country of the runner-up ranked second, and the other two who made it to the semifinals competed for third and fourth place.

Then, the other four in the top eight competed for fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth place to determine the ranking order of countries.

If the champion and runner-up came from the same country, the original third-ranked country would rank second, and so on.

Before the War God's Knockout began, the news of Lin Zhen's return caused another wave of speculation.

This news was officially confirmed, and some even confirmed that Yue Zhenhua and He Liu were already dead, but it was unclear who exactly killed them.

Normally, they should have been killed by Lin Zhen, but no one witnessed him kill Yue Zhenhua and He Liu when he came out, as there were basically no people left in the Five Connected Pools.

Even if there were a few people, they were all cultivating in some quiet corner, and no one knew the truth. Lin Zhen himself did not announce that he had killed the two Yue Zhenhua.

There were many speculations, but not many people believed that Lin Zhen had killed Yue Zhenhua as he was a quasi-Star Realm Expert, not so easily killed.

Maybe someone powerful behind Lin Zhen had helped, many people thought so.

The focus was no longer Lin Zhen's problem, as various countries had offered their competitors extremely generous rewards.

Prizes were given for entering the top 512, top 256, top 8, top 4, runners-up, champions… The rewards varied.

Take Hua Xia, for example, in addition to the rewards from the World War God Alliance, the prizes from their country were not inferior, especially for the champion. They could not only receive a large amount of material rewards but even make a request to the country. As long as it was reasonable, the country would agree.

Many War Gods who participated in the War God's Knockout were stimulated by the huge rewards and successively published their opinions in newspapers, television, and on the Internet, saying that they would display their strength and asking people to look forward to their performance.

For example, Shah of Sand Russia, even made bold statements that he would definitely win the championship.

He said: "I have a few small goals to achieve in this knockout. The highest is, of course, to win the first place for my motherland. Then there are some personal wishes. First, I want to conquer two women, one is Su Mingyue, the Saintess of the Divine Sect of Hua Xia, and the other is Chris, the mysterious War God of the European Union. I have chosen these two women, and they will both be mine. The first step is to let them witness my strength on the knockout stage."

"I have one more small wish: I hope to meet Lin Zhen in the knockout stage. I will tear you to shreds, you despicable yellow-skinned man! Just you wait!"

Shah even showed his middle finger to the camera, expressing his disdain for Lin Zhen.

Apart from Shah, Duke of the United States, and Ai Er of the European Union also expressed their wish to win the championship. Ai Er even confessed his love to Chris on the Internet, saying that Chris was his goddess, and if he could meet her in the final, he would propose to her on the spot.Furthermore, India's Omar and Shah were even more arrogant, claiming that India was the top in the Asia district, and they would prove their strength in this competition, showing no mercy to challengers from Hua Nia!

Also, the African Union's Bogba, Brazil's Sang Ji, and others loudly declared their intentions to win the championship, gaining strong support from their countrymen.

In contrast, the Hua Xia's public momentum was relatively weak. Due to their national character, Hua Xia people were originally reserved and introverted. Before the War Gods began the competition, they would generally not boast about winning the championship because failure would inevitably result in public ridicule.

Moreover, when facing powerhouses from other countries, these War Gods indeed lacked the confidence to win the championship. It might be possible for them to reach the top eight or top four with good luck, but they still fell short of winning the championship.

Only Feng Ni, Tang Wenbo, Duo Long, and Xin Rughai expressed their dissatisfaction with the arrogant Indian contestants, saying that they would definitely suppress India.

As the War God's Knockout was about to begin, Lin Zhen finally spoke up.

"My return must have disappointed many people. However, whether you're disappointed or not, I have reserved the championship of this War God's Knockout for myself. No matter who you are, you will not be able to stop my progress. Hua Xia people, you can start celebrating in advance!"

Lin Zhen's remarks gained substantial support domestically. Lin Zhen had accomplished many great feats over time and had repeatedly proven his formidable strength.

Moreover, with the donation incident, Lin Zhen had become influential among martial artists.

By winning the first place in the pre-selection killing list, he attracted a large number of fans. Regardless of whether he could indeed win the championship this time, his words undoubtedly boosted Hua Xia's morale.

Although some people strongly criticized Lin Zhen for his arrogance and boasting, their objections were like tiny ripples, unable to create any significant impact.

Within the World War God Alliance, leaders from the United States, Sand Russia, and the European Union gathered together.

War God Alliance was primarily governed by the War Gods. Although there were still many Star Realm Experts in this world, they generally did not participate in worldly affairs, abiding by the established rules.

Therefore, these leaders were War Gods themselves. Although they might not be particularly powerful, they were definitely cunning and astute War Gods.

The Sand Russian War God spoke first: "I assume you have all heard the arrogant remarks of that Hua Xia kid."

European Union War God said: "That's right. That kid is most likely one of the top figures among Hua Xia War Gods now. If we can subdue him, Hua Xia won't accomplish much in this War God's Knockout."

United States War God snorted: "It was your idea to use the Seven Stars Knife to deceive him before, but what was the result? The transfer from the European Union allowed him to actually buy the Seven Stars Knife."

"So what? The value of the Seven Stars Knife itself does not exceed 50 billion, and we haven't suffered any loss from it."

"Alright, you two stop arguing over this matter. Among the Seven Countries, the only threat to our three countries is Hua Xia. In order to secure the top three positions in the future World War God Alliance, we must weaken Hua Xia's strength first. The competition is about to start, so how should we arrange it?" The Sand Russian War God stopped the quarrel between the two.

"It's simple. Didn't the India District express their intention to align with us?

Give them a chance. In the first round of Lin Zhen's draw, let him face an

Indian expert. It would be best to eliminate Lin Zhen in one fell swoop!"

"Agreed!"

"Agreed!"

The three War Gods immediately came up with a plan. Although the draw was computer-generated, the computer was still controlled by humans. As leaders of the three major member countries, each person had one authorized decision opportunity. That is to say, they could control three matches – any more would be impossible.

To maintain their positions and suppress Hua Xia, the leader from the United States decisively used his opportunity on Lin Zhen.

As the time for the War God's Knockout approached, dazzling draws began.

After the tally, there were 1,023 participants in the competition. He Liu didn't show up on time and was considered to have forfeited.

With one person forfeiting, there was one vacancy, and the next person advanced directly to the next round.

In a short while, all the contestants that people were paying attention to had their match-ups arranged.

The first round went from 1,024 to 512, with the chances of strong players meeting each other being minimal. People did not pin their hopes on watching intense battles in the first round.

But when the match-ups were released, one group caught people's attention.

India's Omar was up against Hua Xia's Lin Zhen in the first round!

No one expected a powerful duel in the first round. As the War God's Knockout began, almost 80% of the world's attention was focused on the battle between the two.

Each large screen enlarged the small screen of Lin Zhen's duel against Omar, making the other matches seem insignificant.

In Lin Zhen's home, he too put on his helmet. As a white light flashed, he entered the virtual environment.

The first round of the War God's Knockout began!

Translator: 549690339

As the light flickered before his eyes, Lin Zhen appeared beside a competition stage.

The stages in the virtual environment were slightly different from those in reality.

The stage was square, with both length and width being twenty meters, much larger than an ordinary person's stage. This was because the battles of War God-level experts needed a certain amount of space to be somewhat enjoyable to watch.

Around the stage was a circle of rubber guardrails, with a height of one and a half meters. These guardrails were extremely tough and impossible to break, but they could be knocked down from the stage.

The rules stipulated that death, falling from the stage, or losing combat power would result in a loss.

Below the stage were crowded spectator stands.

The spectator stands were also virtual, with virtual screens everywhere, reflecting the situation on the main streets around the world.

Lin Zhen looked around and quickly found the Hua Xia District's spectator area.

The situation in front of the big screens at Capital Base City'sForbidden City Square, Ice City's Sofia Cathedral, and Demon Capital's Mingzhu Tower were all shown.

Lin Zhen could even see some familiar faces on the big screens.

In Demon Capital, for example, Lin Zhen saw Jiang Huai, who had come out of the Star Fruit Tree and advanced to a Second-level War God.

Because the people outside could see the situation inside the stage, Lin Zhen greeted Jiang Huai.

The system broadcast was very sensitive and immediately followed Lin Zhen's perspective, showing the scene with Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai also excitedly greeted Lin Zhen.

Afterwards, Lin Zhen saw Zhao Xiaoman, who had also advanced to a First-level War God. Lin Zhen greeted her, and she excitedly jumped and blew kisses to Lin Zhen.

Afterwards, Lin Zhen saw Li Changying on the big screen in the Northwest, and many people from Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall and many acquaintances of Gale in Ice City.

After turning around and gesturing, a figure flashed in front of Lin Zhen, who sneered and said, "Have you said goodbye to your friends?"

Lin Zhen turned his head and saw his opponent, Omar from the India District.

This was the first time Lin Zhen had seen Omar in person. He had a tall and thin figure, dark skin, bald head, a pair of large green earrings on his ears, and long arms and legs.

Omar and Shah were known as the Indian Double Heroes. In the previous life, Omar was a top 16 competitor and Shah was a top 8 competitor, both of them were very strong.

Lin Zhen didn't think things would be so coincidental that he would encounter a strong enemy in the first round, and there might be some conspiracy behind it.

But he didn't care; no matter who it was, he had to defeat them to win the championship.

"I just greeted them, but I think you're the one who needs to say goodbye," Lin Zhen said. He looked at Omar, who had been boasting on the internet that he would teach Hua Xia martial artists a lesson.

"Lin Zhen, your first place on the Slaughter List doesn't prove anything! The three warriors of Sand Russia are nothing impressive, and today, I will make you understand that India is the number one in the Asia District!"

With that, Omar drew his weapons: two golden curved blades.

High Grade Celestial Device Armor appeared on his body, and around his neck was a Middle Grade spiritual defense Star Artifact necklace.

At the level of a War God like him, weapons and armor were mostly high-grade. However, high-grade spiritual defense Star Artifacts were harder to obtain. But as a Dark Gold Stage Spiritual Mind Master, Omar's equipment was basically enough, without any obvious weaknesses to exploit.

Looking at Omar in full armor, Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the Broken Jade Spear appeared in his hand.

"Omar, I'm going to make you admit defeat today."

"Hahaha! You're dreaming! Leaving aside whether you can beat me or not, we Indian warriors have always been brave. We would rather be killed than admit defeat!"

"Really? Well, let's give it a try!"

Lin Zhen raised his hand, and the Broken Jade Spear shook out a chain of spear flowers.

Omar also shouted and rushed forward with his curved blades.

Lin Zhen took a step forward, his spear directly aiming at multiple vital points on Omar's body!

Lin Zhen didn't want to reveal his trump cards just yet and decided to teach the Indian kid a lesson today on how to behave.

Omar didn't seem to care much about Lin Zhen, so he went forward with his curved blades.

"Clang, clang, clang, clang!"

After several consecutive collisions, Omar staggered backward, looking at Lin Zhen incredulously.

"You…you're just a Seventh-level War God, how is that possible?"

He was already a Level Nine War God at his peak, but after just one exchange, he found himself completely outmatched by Lin Zhen, without the slightest chance of fighting back.

"There's no such thing as impossible. Just accept your fate!" Lin Zhen jumped forward again, unleashing another flurry of storm-like spear moves.

Omar struggled to block left and right. In less than a second, his left hand was injured, and one of his curved blades fell to the ground.

The surrounding spectator stands were filled with gasps. It was assumed to be a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, but the gap between the two was too wide.

Or rather, how could Lin Zhen be so fierce? Omar had no chance to fight back, and even those with weaker strength could see that Lin Zhen didn't seem to have used his full power yet.

Lin Zhen looked at the injured Omar, quickly rushed forward, intending to kill him with a single spear thrust.

Omar suddenly opened his mouth, and a red, blackish fierce fire came straight at him!

This move was extremely sudden, and Lin Zhen's spiritual shield flashed, keeping the blazing flames at bay.

"Sizzle!" The consumption of spiritual power was very fast, and this fierce flame was extremely domineering.

"He can actually breathe fire?" Lin Zhen was stunned.

"There's so much more you don't know." Omar, regardless of his injured arm at this point, straightened up and looked at Lin Zhen: "I was saving this move for the finals against Huo Luofu, but Lin Zhen, if I don't get rid of you, I won't even make it to the finals. So, you're going to enjoy this move in advance." "Is it just this little fire-breathing trick?" Lin Zhen said with disdain.

"Hahaha! A frog at the bottom of the well, how can you know the secret techniques of my Brahmin God Gate?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhen was shocked. Brahmins were the informed class of India during the historical era, the predecessors of Buddhism, and there were many legends about them in ancient times.

"It seems you do know a thing or two, so I'll let you die with full understanding.

I, Omar, have learned the secret techniques of my Brahmin God Gate, the Great Burning Sky Fire! Turn into a roast pig, Lin Zhen!"

"Hoo!"

Another blackish-red fierce flame was sprayed out, and Lin Zhen didn't want to continue using the spiritual shield to resist it. He teleported behind Omar and raised his spear to stab ferociously!

Unexpectedly, Omar was also prepared early. After spitting out the flames, he suddenly leaped forward, turned in mid-air, and spread his hands!

The two green large earrings on his ears turned into two green snakes, coiling and rising into the air, unexpectedly also spitting out blazing flames from their mouths!

"Those earrings are actually high-grade auxiliary star artifacts?" Lin Zhen was shocked and teleported again, appearing on Omar's left side.

"It's useless, Lin Zhen. I've known about your elusive teleportation for a long time. If it were in the wilderness, I really wouldn't know what to do about you. But within this arena space, my twin secret star artifacts and the Burning Sky Fire are practically infinite. You can't dodge my Burning Sky Fire at all. Turn to ashes for me!"

Omar laughed wildly, with one green snake laying down a firewall for defense next to him, and the other constantly chasing after Lin Zhen, continuously spewing out large groups of flames. Soon, the blazing flames filled more than half of the arena's space.

Lin Zhen kept teleporting and evading around the arena, avoiding the pursuit of the green snake, but the places he could hide were getting fewer and fewer.

At this time, many other matches on the other arenas had already ended, and basically, all the strong players had successfully eliminated their opponents and advanced to the next round. Then, they all came to watch this match.

In Sand Russia, Huo Luofu was secretly surprised when he saw Omar, who looked like a fire god: "It's a good thing that this Omar encountered Lin Zhen. If he suddenly ran into me, this fierce flame would be difficult to deal with. But now that I'm prepared, I won't have any problems encountering him again."

At Hua Xia Capital City, Su Mingyue appeared before the big screen of God's Grace Cathedral. Wearing a gold -rimmed white clerical robe and with her waterfall-like black hair falling from her shoulders, she was as beautiful as a painting. Her big eyes watched Lin Zhen, who was constantly dodging on the screen, and showed a hint of worry.

In the European Union's Base City Paris, under the high Eiffel Tower, Hansen

anxiously said, "It's over, it's over! Lin is going to be eliminated, he's going to be roasted!"

"Bang!" He received a heavy punch behind his head, and Alice said to him, "Shut your stinking mouth, or I'll teach you a lesson."

Hansen sneaked a glance at Miss Chris, who didn't seem too worried. Her red lips under the metal mask uttered, "The fight is about to end."

Hansen plucked up his courage and asked, "Miss, do you think Lin Zhen is going to lose too?"

Chris shook her head slightly, "No, Lin Zhen is going to win." "But… But I think…" Hansen wanted to say something else.

"Wait for the flames to fill the space, and when others can't see Lin Zhen's movements, he'll make his move. He's hiding his real skills."

"Ah! Really? Can he still hide his skills in such an intense battle? Those two high-grade star artifacts are not easy to deal with." Hansen looked incredulously at the arena.

The next moment, the fierce flames finally filled the entire space of the arena, and Omar's boisterous laughter could be heard inside.

Just when everyone thought Lin Zhen was done for, Omar's laughter suddenly stopped!

There seemed to be a flash of golden light in the arena, and then the flames in the sky disappeared out of thin air.

Lin Zhen was seen raising one hand to Omar, who was then uncontrollably pulled in close by Lin Zhen, who grabbed his chin.

"Say, do you submit?"

"Clang!" The two high-grade star artifacts that had transformed into green snakes fell to the ground, having been cut into four sections!

Omar tried to spray out another mouthful of fire, but Lin Zhen forced his mouth closed, causing the flames to erupt in his mouth and burn him, making him scream in pain. He mumbled, "No… No…"

Without waiting for Omar to finish speaking, Lin Zhen grabbed his mental defensive necklace off him, casting a determined gaze into Omar's eyes: "Think about it again, do you submit?"

"I… I surrender." After struggling for a while, Omar finally spat out these words.

"Then I'll give you a quick end!"

Lin Zhen's spiritual power suddenly burst out, and a fierce mental shock led to Omar's brain death, leaving his body limp on the arena.

The system's prompt sounded, "Hua Xia, Lin Zhen advances to the second round.."

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen defeated Omar, a result expected by many people. However, it was unexpected that Lin Zhen cut off Omar's two auxiliary High Grade Celestial Devices on the competition stage, leading directly to Omar's failure and making people more wary of Lin Zhen.

Could Lin Zhen actually have a Top Quality Star Artifact capable of destroying high-grade ones?

From the beginning of the competition to now, no one has taken out a Top Quality Star Artifact. How could Lin Zhen have such a thing?

A Top Quality Star Artifact could play a significant role in a battle, even determining its outcome.

For example, if it were a weapon, then High Grade Astral Armor wouldn't be able to withstand it.

If it were an armor piece, then weapons made of High Grade Star Artifacts would not be able to penetrate it.

From the looks of it, Lin Zhen seemed to have a Top Quality Star Artifact as a weapon, likely a sword or a blade since it destroyed Omar's High Grade Celestial Device.

Contestants from other countries started to study countermeasures in case they had to face Lin Zhen.

After Lin Zhen's match ended, he removed his helmet and went online to check out other matches. There were still about dozens of fights yet to finish.

After all the matches were over, there would be a half-hour break before the top 512 would advance to the top 256.

Lin Zhen also watched some matches with well-known strong competitors. Huo Luofu faced an African Union War God and won without even moving his hands — just using a Gravity Field to crush his opponent to death.

Chris of the European Union swiftly killed her opponent with a single sword strike, demonstrating her extraordinary speed.

Ai Er from the European Union wore a knight's armor with four or five defense star artifacts, using a flurry of spectacular fast swordplay to bloody defeat a

Brazilian War God.

The United States contestant, Duke, faced a Hua Xia War God in an even more bizarre battle. Duke walked up to his opponent and kicked him off the stage. From beginning to end, the Hua Xia War God only managed to twist his face, unable to perform any other action at all.

Bogba from the African Union used a stick-like weapon that caused rocks to fall while swinging it. He easily defeated a United States War God, advancing forcefully.

Apart from these contestants, many others showed their hidden powerful strength.

However, Lin Zhen was surprised to find that Su Mingyue's match was missing. Su Mingyue was the one who had advanced cleanly to the top 256 byes.

"This girl's luck is truly unfathomable." Lin Zhen laughed.

The War God's Knockout competition lasted two days. The first day had five rounds, and the second day had another five rounds. At the end of the first day, the top 32 contestants would be decided.

Lin Zhen leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and rested, waiting for the start of the next round.

In the vastness of the universe, a hundred-meter-long Starship Battleship was approaching the Solar System.

This hundred-meter-long Starship Battleship actually couldn't be considered a battleship. It was the smallest of all the battleships and could only be called a small exploration spacecraft with a capacity of only two people.

The spacecraft had a single-person bedroom, a gym, and even a swimming pool. Personal enjoyment in outer space was highly regarded, and it was rare for groups of people to stay together unless they were part of an army.

"Ah! Xin Ou, how long have we been flying? I feel like I'm going to get moldy," said a man with red short hair standing on end like flames, slowly sipping a blue liquid from his cup and asking his companion.

"Keep your wine glass away from me, Tu Ya. You're disrupting my drawings of the wormhole coordinates. We've been out for about three years now." Xin Ou was a man with fair skin and orange short hair, holding a star map in his hand and examining it.

"Three years! We still haven't found that life-bearing planet. Are you sure the signal came from this star domain? If we go in the wrong direction, we'll definitely receive a huge fine from the Empire's expedition department."

"Tu Ya, you need to trust the professional skills of a veteran explorer. I'm absolutely certain that the missing Red Rose transport ship from the Empire sent out a signal in this star domain. Look here."

Xin Ou pointed to the screen on the spaceship, and Tu Ya immediately leaned over.

"Look at this – the signal strength has increased by 50%, meaning we are getting closer to the Red Rose Battleship."

"My God, the Red Rose transport ship has been missing for a thousand years, and it can still send out a signal? That's unbelievable," Tu Ya exclaimed in surprise.

"What's so unbelievable about that? The Red Rose is not a small exploration vessel like ours; it's a massive second -level interstellar warship with energy block storage compartments. It could maintain a signal for thousands of years without a problem. I think I can try to communicate with them now. I hope there are still people alive on board."

Xin Ou adjusted the system and started trying to communicate with the Red Rose.

After trying for about half an hour, the screen flickered a few times, and an image appeared.

"Oh my God! It really worked? Who is this?"

In the image, a man with long brown hair, wearing a tattered blue uniform, appeared.

"Oh! Oh yeah!"

Seeing the image connected, the man excitedly screamed: "Are you explorers from the Landis Empire? I am Captain Shu Mingxuan of the Landis Commercial

Association. You finally arrived! It's great. Please come and rescue me."

"Please calm down, Captain Shu Mingxuan. According to my calculations, it will take about six months to reach you at the speed of my spacecraft. Can you tell me about the situation on your end?"

"All right, all right, I've lost my composure from not seeing any of my kind for so many years."

Shu Mingxuan straightened his ragged captain's uniform and said: "I am currently on a life-supporting planet called Earth. About a thousand years ago, this planet experienced a meteor shower. The creatures on the planet mutated, but the meteor shower also brought cultivation civilization, allowing the natives to master basic cultivation techniques. These natives don't look much different from us…"

Shu Mingxuan was surprisingly knowledgeable about many things on Earth and could even name many people. His spaceship was able to access Earth's internet.

"It's such a misfortune that just after that meteor shower, my ship happened to pass through this star domain when we encountered an enraged galaxy beast. We were out of control just from being exposed to a tiny amount of its energy, and eventually crashed onto this planet. As you know, I was transporting alien beasts for the Imperial Royal Zoo, and I activated my energy shield when we crashed. Although I survived, my spaceship was trapped here, and now the natives call my ship… the Ancient God Ruins. They often come to explore my ship."

"Oh, oh, oh! It's impressive that you managed to escape the claws of the galaxy beast, Captain Shu Mingxuan. Haven't those natives caught you and dissected you for research? Haha!" Tu Ya laughed heartily.

"No, they don't have that ability yet. The alien beasts I transported can't leave the crash site either. They block the explorers' path, and no one has reached the fourth floor where I am. I'm safe for now, but my life span is almost exhausted. You need to hurry."

"Don't worry, we'll reach you as soon as possible. Tell us about the events happening on this planet." Xin Ou was also very interested in the newly discovered life-supporting planet.

"Hmm, things are quite lively here. Most of this planet is covered in ocean, and there are seven countries on the land. Right now, the natives are competing for national rankings in a tournament. All participants are below the Star Realm, and the winner will have the greatest right on this planet."

Upon hearing Shu Mingxuan's words, Tu Ya blinked: "I see… Captain, you must know the Empire's policy. Newly discovered life-supporting planets like this one must be conquered. According to your description, if we can control the person who wins this tournament, it will definitely benefit our upcoming conquest plan. If you can achieve this, I'll report your contribution to the Empire after you're rescued."

Shu Mingxuan hesitated: "But I can't leave this warship."

"Don't try to play tricks with me. You were transporting brain beetles, right? Those little things can still control people below the Star Realm and enhance the host's abilities, allowing them to gain Star Realm power. Just one brain beetle controlling someone should be enough. You're telling me Star Realm power can't win a tournament where only those below the Star Realm are competing?"

Hearing Tu Ya's words, Shu Mingxuan reluctantly took out a small box with a tiny beetle-like creature inside: "Most of the brain beetles died when the spaceship crashed, and this is the last one."

"All right, it's this one. Release it and have it recognize the target you designated. Remember, this is a joint effort between the three of us: me, Xin

Ou, and you."

Shu Mingxuan nodded and began looking for a target to lock onto.

"Make sure to choose carefully, there's only one brain beetle left. If it ends up selecting a loser who can't win the championship, we'll be in trouble. Also, make sure to control the target in advance, as last-minute control will be discovered.'

Shu Mingxuan nodded: "Rest assured, the top 32 will appear in tonight's comvetition. I will choose one of them and make sure to Dick the one with the

highest possibility of winning. You have to trust my judgment."

"All right, we'll get to you as soon as possible. Once we're there, we'll report the interstellar route to the Imperial Military Department. When the army conquers this planet, we'll undoubtedly be granted lordship over it."

"That would be fantastic. I won't lie to you; there are many interesting things on this planet. They believe in the True God of the Stars, which is laughable. Also, there are a few surprisingly high-quality beauties here. If I could take control of this planet… Hahaha."

Their laughter echoed as the communication screen turned off.

Shu Mingxuan flipped through the profiles of the people participating in the War God's Knockout, narrowing them down and searching…

Unbeknownst to people on Earth, the War God's Knockout continued.

In the fight from 512 to 256, this round was considered the battle between Hua Xia and the rest of the world.

That was because five Hua Xia Hall of Fame War Gods faced formidable opponents in this round!

Chapter 252: Chapter 252: Second Attack on Lin Zhen (Third Update)

Translator: 549690339

It was the United States' Duke against Hua Xia's Xin Rughai.

Coming from Sand Russia, Huo Luofu faced Hua Xia's Tang Wenbo.

From the European Union, Chris faced the Hua Xia's Duo Long.

The African Union's Bogba fought Hua Xia's Ma Yao.

From Brazil, it was Sang Ji against Hua Xia's Wei Li.

As for Lin Zhen's draw this round, he drew an unknown Brazilian War God.

The battle began, and in the audience, many Brazilians were cheering for their War God. Lin Zhen hit him with a Mental Shock, directly causing brain death for the Brazilian War God who was not wearing a mental defense Star Artifact and eliminating him from the competition.

The sound of that battle hadn't even completely ended, and the fight was over. Lin Zhen advanced to the top 256.

Lin Zhen didn't care about the others, took off his helmet, and immediately watched the other matches.

Among the five battles, the African Union's Bogba and Ma Yao's match was the first to end. Under the opponent's onslaught, Ma Yao held on for about two minutes, losing somewhat embarrassingly.

Following Ma Yao's defeat was Wei Li, losing to Brazil's Sang Ji, and not having much of a fight. Ice Gale's two players both finished at 512.

However, the other three fights greatly excited Lin Zhen.

Dragon Slayer Academy's Xin Rughai faced the former runner-up Duke without fear. At one point, he seemed to have the upper hand, but Duke had a secret technique that Xin Rughai could not defend against.

Duke had a nickname, Silent Duke, and he had a powerful tactic called the Resistance Space, which was very tricky.

No matter who was in his Resistance Space, even the air was compressed, making it hard to move. Xin Rughai fought Duke inside the Resistance Space, and with multiple injuries, he eventually stabbed Duke in the abdomen with a flying sword before elimination under Duke's tenfold resistance.

Similar to Xin Rughai's situation, Demon Capital's War God, Tang Wenbo, faced

Huo Luofu and performed extraordinarily. Despite being under pressure from the gravity field and almost having his bones shattered, he stood up and cleverly used the moment when the opponent's gravity shifted to launch an attack, giving Huo Luofu a heavy blow.

The injured Huo Luofu angrily wanted to tear Tang Wenbo apart, but Tang Wenbo didn't give him a chance. Knowing that he would not get another opportunity, Tang resolutely committed suicide with his sword.

This scene moved many Hua Xia people to tears. Both Tang Wenbo and Xin Rughai received high praise for their efforts. Although they failed, they did not disgrace Hua Xia.

After that, Chris's match against Duo Long was somewhat uneventful. The two struggled for more than ten minutes, with Duo Long losing by a small margin. He performed pretty well.

However, Lin Zhen found this match somewhat strange. Duo Long had not exerted his full strength, and Chris seemed to have hidden a lot as well, making him feel a little uncertain.

Regardless, after this round, the main Hua Xia contenders still fighting in the War God's Knockout were Lin Zhen and Northwest Military Martial Arts' Feng Ni. The world was cheering for the downfall of Hua Xia.

Although Su Mingyue was also from Hua Xia, no one thought she had any competitive strength. After all, she had received a bye in the first round, and her previous opponent was just an ordinary African War God. Su Mingyue fought her opponent for quite some time before winning but didn't cause any serious harm. People generally believed that the Saintess was just a vase.

After the top 256 were announced, the next round of advancing to 128 had no real focus battles. All the strong players eliminated their opponents and advanced.

The following 128 to 64 were similar, with no battles between strong fighters, but the weak ones were basically all eliminated.

Su Mingyue had not encountered any strong opponents and smoothly advanced to the top 64.

However, at this point, there would be no more weak opponents in the future rounds. The 64 to 32 would feature contenders who were mainly from the Hall of Fame. Only those who passed this round would be considered the top War Gods in the world.

People were eagerly awaiting the next round's draw to see what the matchups would be.

In the War God Alliance's headquarters, the leaders of the United States, Sand Russia, and the European Union gathered again.

The United States leader spoke first: "This time's event has been a huge failure. We shouldn't have arranged Omar to face Lin Zhen from the beginning. It not only failed to block him but also allowed him to gain great popularity."

"Don't worry too much. The competition in Hua Xia is now down to just a few people, and their failure is not far away." The European Union leader said.

"Hmph! Don't be so confident. I think Lin Zhen might ruin our plans. My opinion is that he must not advance to the top 32 at any cost. We must eliminate him in this round. As long as he is eliminated, the remaining Feng Ni and Su Mingyue won't be able to cause any trouble." The United States leader's insistence caught the attention of the other two.

The European Union leader said, "How do you plan to arrange it? Why not arrange Lin Zhen to face Huo Luofu? That way, he would definitely be eliminated."

Before the United States leader could respond, the Sand Russia leader disagreed: "This is absolutely impossible. Huo Luofu is the only one from Sand Russia to advance so far. He cannot take any risks. Is there no one from all the countries in the world who can snipe Lin Zhen?"

The European Union leader spread his hands: "There are many people, but the chances of success are slim. If Huo Luofu can't be arranged, then the United

States' Duke may have a chance. His Resistance Field has a similar effect to Huo

Luofu's Gravity Field and should be able to snipe Lin Zhen."

Unexpectedly, this was opposed by the United States leader: "For the same

reason as Sand Russia, currently, there are not many competitive people in the United States. Whether or not we can achieve good results depends on Duke.

This relationship ranks our country, and Duke cannot take risks."

"This can't be done, and that can't be done, then who do you suggest? There's not much confidence in anyone else." The European Union leader leaned back in his chair and said.

At this moment, the United States leader smiled, "I do have one candidate who might be able to play a surprising role."

"Who?" The other two asked simultaneously.

United States pointed to the promotion list, "It's her."

The two people looked and it turned out to be Chris from the European Union.

The head of the European Union frowned: "This may not be very suitable. Chris is also the hope of the European Union, and her strength to snipe Lin Zhen seems to be a bit inadequate. There is no greater certainty than Huo Luofu and Duo Ke. You guys are not going to waste another opportunity, are you?"

The head of the United States laughed: "You guys only know one thing but not the other. In my opinion, this Chris has the highest chance of sniping Lin

Zhen."

"Why do you say that?" The other two asked.

"Hehe, do you know who transferred the 40 billion to Lin Zhen?" the head of the United States said.

"Who? Isn't it Hansen from the European Union?"

"No, Hansen has only a few money, he has no such ability."

"Could it be Alice, who is Hansen's superior? We all know that they belong to the same killer organization called Nightingale, which was created by Old John. "

"It's not Alice, it's this woman called Chris. I just found out today that she transferred 40 billion to Lin Zhen through Hansen's hands, which allowed Lin Zhen to get the Seven Stars Knife. So, I think there may be some unknown relationship between them."

The head of the European Union was suddenly a little angry: "Isn't Chris's act betraying the European Union? Absolutely intolerable, I agree to arrange her and Lin Zhen in one group. Not only that, if she dares to play safe in the fight against Lin Zhen, it will prove that she is a traitor to the European Union, and I will suggest Old John to execute her!"

The head of Sand Russia, hearing that Huo Luofu didn't need to fight, voluntarily used his own authorization times to arrange Lin Zhen and Chris in the same group.

The list of battles for the sixty-four promotion to thirty-two finally came out amid the public's attention.

Several groups of strong confrontations attracted people's attention.

First of all, it seems that the good luck of the Divine Sect's Saintess Su Mingyue has come to an end, as she faced Sang Ji from Brazil.

People thought that Su Mingyue would stop at the top thirty-two. After all,

Sang Ji was Brazil's number one War God, who had once personally slain S-level Mutated Beasts. He was definitely not an opponent that a delicate beauty like Su Mingyue could handle.

Furthermore, the Northwest Military War God Feng Ni from Hua Xia also encountered an opponent, the American War God Duo Ke.

These are not the most eye-catching, what attracts the most attention is Lin Zhen from Hua Xia against Chris from the European Union.

One of them ranked first in the pre-selection killing list, and the other ranked second. However, with the encounter of these two, it is destined that one of them will not be able to advance to the top thirty-two.

After the results of the grouping came out, Lin Zhen also frowned slightly.

He did not expect to face Chris.

If there were any competitors he least wanted to face, there were only two people, one was Su Mingyue, and the other was Chris.

There's no need to mention Su Mingyue. If that girl encountered him, there's a high chance she would give up immediately, which is not what Lin Zhen wanted.

As for Chris, Lin Zhen found it hard to see through her. He always felt she was mysterious, and besides, she lent him 40 billion, which was a huge favor. Lin Zhen wanted to repay her, not fight her on the stage.

But the draw has already been made and cannot be changed, so Lin Zhen could only go up.

First was the match between Feng Ni and Duo Ke. The result was similar to the previous battle between Duo Ke and Xin Rughai. The force field is almost impossible to break. Despite several consecutive assaults, Feng Ni eventually lost to the force field. Although he posed a threat to Duo Ke at one point, he was ultimately eliminated regretfully.

Afterwards, it was the match between Su Mingyue and Sang Ji. As the match began, people shouted at Sang Ji: "Sang Ji, you must go easy on her!"

"Sang Ji, if you dare to hurt a single hair of the Saintess, I will never forgive you."

"Adopt a mobile combat tactic, let her tire herself out and give up. Such a girl is not meant to be fought, understand?"

Sang Ji himself believed that victory was certain. Seeing the fairy-like Su

Mingyue who seemed to have walked out of a painting, he laughed: "Su Saintess, I dare not offend your fans. I advise you to concede and step down from the stage. I really can't bring myself to go against you."

Su Mingyue smiled indifferently: "But I can."

"Then come on. I'll let you have three moves." Sang Ji said casually.

"Alright."

Su Mingyue raised her hand, and her delicate hand suddenly flashed with countless rays of light, like a sun appearing out of nowhere, catching Sang Ji off guard.

He instinctively covered his eyes, and a sword light slashed across his throat.

Su Mingyue withdrew her sword and stepped down, Sang Ji was eliminated!

Next, it was the match between Lin Zhen and Chris..

With a flash of white light, Lin Zhen appeared on the stage.

Almost at the same time, a graceful figure of a girl appeared in front of him.

With a cold golden mask, golden hair, blue eyes, and a long sword in her hand, Chris slowly walked towards Lin Zhen.

"Chris…." said Lin Zhen.

"Let's not talk. Since we are on this stage, we are enemies, aren't we?" Chris said.

Lin Zhen quietly nodded.

"Now you represent Hua Xia, and I represent the European Union. Let's settle the score. I won't hold back at all."

Lin Zhen took out his Broken Jade Spear: "Neither will I."

"Clang! "

An unforeseen sword strike suddenly fell, its speed incredibly fast!

Lin Zhen's speed was not slow either. He raised his spear to defend.

Having just managed to block the attack, the sword in Chris's hand transformed into a storm of sword qi, a true sword qi storm like a torrential rain, enveloping Lin Zhen.

"Immovable like a mountain!"

Lin Zhen swung his Broken Jade Spear, creating layers of light shields, firmly guarding himself within a three-foot radius, and forcefully withstood Chris's sword qi storm.

No wonder she was the long-standing number one in the slaughter ranking. Chris's sword qi storm seemed endless, with over a hundred attacks per second, fiercely covering Lin Zhen and creating sparks all around.

Lin Zhen's spear was also quick, its movements flashing like lightning, like a golden snake leaping, stubbornly resisting the opponent's sword qi storm without retreating.

The fierce battle immediately left everyone dumbfounded. No one expected the strength of these two to be so powerful. Lin Zhen was a seventh-level middle-stage War God, and Chris was only a sixth-level peak, but their battle seemed more violent than those of the level 9 War Gods.

Even after five minutes of non-stop ferocious attacks, Chris still couldn't repel Lin Zhen. She raised her hand, summoning three consecutive flying swords that suddenly rose into the air, each being a High -Grade Celestial Device, and began attacking Lin Zhen from all angles.

"What a spiritual method of wielding swords! Your spiritual power has actually reached the Dark Gold Middle Stage!"

"Enough talk, Lin Zhen. Today, we shall determine who's better!"

Chris didn't want to waste time talking to Lin Zhen. As a single person controlling four swords, she launched an all-out attack.

Lin Zhen's body began to slowly rotate in place, wielding the Broken Jade Spear in front of him and behind him, setting up light shields, activating the immovable like a mountain concept, and withstanding Chris's flying sword attacks without any movement.

The occasional storm of sword qi slammed into the stage, producing dull thuds.

In the crowd watching the battle in Ice City, many people discussed their fight.

Some former members of Gale, like Zhao Liang, Shi Lei, Gao Yan, and Meng Dong, were watching the match.

Meng Dong now was also a seventh-level War General and mingled with Zhao Liang and the others.

Zhao Liang was the first to speak: "This Chris is strong, and Lin Zhen seems to be in danger if this goes on. Although his defense is indeed strong."

"I also think it's not the way to go like this. Lin Zhen should take the initiative to counterattack sooner rather than later." Shi Lei was also puzzled.

Gao Yan pondered for a moment: "They should be playing a war of attrition, as after all, females generally have weaker physical strength. Chris might not be able to hold up this level of intensity for long, and that's when Lin Zhen will probably counterattack."

Only Meng Dong did not say anything. After a while, Zhao Liang asked: "Meng

Dong, you're on good terms with Lin Zhen. What do you think is going on?"

Meng Dong lowered his head and thought for a moment: "I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like I have seen Chris somewhere before, like she's someone I know." "Someone you know? No way. Chris is from the European Union. Have you been there?"

"No, I've never left Ice City Base City, but Chris seems so familiar…aha! Who does she remind me of?" Meng Dong slapped his forehead, but he couldn't remember.

On the stage, Chris's attack suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong, Chris? Are you out of strength so soon?"

The sword shadows that filled the sky suddenly disappeared, and Chris stepped back with her sword drawn. She stared at Lin Zhen with her blue eyes: "This is pointless. I know your defense is called 'Immovable like a mountain,' and ordinary attacks can't hurt you."

"Are you going to give up and admit defeat?" Lin Zhen smiled.

"You're wrong. I've thought of a fast way to decide the outcome. Since this is a virtual arena, we don't have to hold back. Let's make it one hit to determine victory or defeat, the winner advances, and the loser is eliminated."

"Alright." Lin Zhen nodded.

Chris snorted coldly, combining the four swords in her hand into one, with her dantian energy erupting violently and launching a fierce attack!

With her move, a huge wave suddenly surged on the stage., an actual wave. Enveloped within the huge wave was a thunderous force that ferociously slammed down on Lin Zhen!

Within the surging waves, a dense water element was wrapped around a massive sword slashing down!

"This is…Overturning River!" Lin Zhen looked at the huge wave, astonished.

This was the power of the fifth move of Nine Layers Spear River, Overturning River. Moreover, Chris had definitely mastered the water element, as she was able to condense it into a giant wave, enhancing the power of Overturning River.

This was no longer the original Overturning River, but rather a battle technique that Chris had practiced based on the Overturning River's secrets, unique to her alone.

Just like Lin Zhen's self-created Thunder Kill, it is unique in the world, and without Lin Zhen's guidance, no one else can learn it, even if they have mastered the Thunder element.

Generally speaking, Star Realm Experts would have their own unique combat techniques, which are diverse and encompass all types. However, as a War God Level, very few people can achieve this point.

At least in this life, Lin Zhen saw someone use a combat technique for the first time, and that person was Chris.

Lin Zhen didn't dare to underestimate such an attack. At that moment, his Dantian energy also erupted.

With the Broken Jade Spear moving in his hand like a living snake, the electric light power on Lin Zhen's body erupted at this moment too.

He didn't use Thunder Kill, nor did he use the newly acquired Seven Stars Knife. He used Teleportation!

Just as Overturning River fell, Lin Zhen suddenly activated teleportation!

"Bang!"

Chris fiercely launched a Mental Shock in an attempt to interrupt Lin Zhen's teleportation.

But she didn't fully succeed, as Lin Zhen's Spiritual Power had already reached the Dark Gold Late Stage peak. Chris's spiritual power was no match for him.

Although she didn't succeed as planned, Lin Zhen still received a slight influence, making his teleportation time slower by a mere 0.1 percent!

Chris's backlash was also not significant. She wore a Middle Grade Mental

Defense Star Artifact, which was enough to withstand most of the backlash.

Lin Zhen arrived behind Chris, and the Broken Jade Spear in his hand shot out a Back Horse Spear!

Light and electricity surged through the spear, aiming directly at Chris's heart!

Chris was not an ordinary person either. The waves of her Overturning River suddenly reversed. She seemed to have known that Lin Zhen would use this move. In an instant, the chaotic waves on the stage seemed to be chasing after Lin Zhen!

At this moment, it was too late for Lin Zhen to use teleportation again. He never expected Chris to use her tactics so well. Even if he could kill Chris with one shot, he probably wouldn't be able to avoid this Overturning River.

Lin Zhen had no choice but to use the liquid metal to form a shield in preparation for Chris's Overturning River. Getting hurt is probably unavoidable.

The spear continued to thrust forward. With the help of light, electricity, and golden energy, the Broken Jade reached the strength of a Top Quality Celestial Device, piercing through Chris's delicate body!

Nearly at the same time, the huge sword edge within the Overturning River passed over Lin Zhen's head, taking a strand of his long hair with it.

"Ugh…!"

Chris groaned and her body weakly collapsed to the ground.

Hearing this sound, Lin Zhen's heart clenched. He quickly turned around and held the falling Chris: "Didn't you have a chance? Why did you do this?"

"No, I lost, and it was a complete defeat… Lin Zhen, will I always lose to you? Underneath her cold metal mask, Chris's tears flowed endlessly.

Through the blue light, it seemed as if Lin Zhen saw Chris's heart.

"This is just a virtual stage, and it won't cause real harm. Wouldn't it be a good ending if we ended up in a tie? Maybe we would both advance as a result," Lin Zhen said.

"Stop lying to ourselves, there is no such thing as both advancing. It can only be both eliminated. Lin Zhen, goodbye." Chris finally couldn't hold on any longer, and her body was determined by the system to have died. She turned into white light and disappeared.

The system's voice was heard: "Hua Xia's Lin Zhen advances to the top 32. Today's competition ends here, and it will continue tomorrow."

At Lin Zhen's home, he removed his helmet, speechless.

Chris still couldn't bring herself to harm Lin Zhen. A woman's thoughts are always different from a man's.

Lin Zhen had won and advanced, but he didn't feel the slightest joy. Maybe he should go find her.

At this moment, Lin Zhen's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that the caller was Hansen.

"Lin, it's not good, Old John is furious."

"Tell me slowly, what's going on?" Lin Zhen asked hastily.

"This is what happened. Old John just saw your fight with Chris. He said that

Chris deliberately held back during the battle. He considers her a traitor to the European Union and wants to execute her!"

"Execution! Is it that serious?" Lin Zhen was stunned.

"Of course, it's that serious. This battle was broadcasted worldwide. Now, Chris has become a public enemy in the European Union. Old John is already preparing the fire execution pillar, intending to burn her alive! Alice and I can't stop him. Old John is already a Star Realm Expert."

"You are in Paris, right?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Yes, we are under the Eiffel Tower."

Lin Zhen hung up the phone abruptly and teleported out from the window.

Black Ghost hovered in the air, and Lin Zhen's body entered it.

Just as he was about to close the hatch door, Xiao Nuan followed Lin Zhen and ran in.

The power system instantly accelerated to its maximum. Black Ghost headed west at ten times the speed of sound!

"You must wait for me, Chris. No…. It's An Ning!"

Chapter 254: Chapter 254: Rushing Straight to Paris (Arrival at Five in the Morning)

Translator: 549690339

The Black Ghost was flying at an extremely fast speed. Lin Zhen had already contacted the City Defense Army early on, and when they were about to leave Ice City, the infrared scan flashed by.

A streak of black light flew by, and the Black Ghost had already rushed out of Ice City.

Some of the City Defense Army's warriors were exclaiming, 'My God, the performance of this flying vehicle is too strong, its speed is even faster than a missile." "Hehe, of course, you don't see who the owner of this vehicle is." "Who is it?"

"It's Lin Zhen, you know Lin Zhen, right? The one who just defeated the European Union's War Goddess and advanced to the top 32. He's the number one on the preliminaries' kill list and the strongest War God in our Ice City."

"So, it's Lin Zhen. He's my idol, but it's so late, and there's still the elimination round tomorrow. What's he going out for?"

"Let's not worry about the affairs of these big shots. Although our army seems to be tough, if there is a monster attack on the city, those top-level monsters still rely on super War Gods like Lin Zhen to deal with. Maybe he will save our lives in the end."

"Of course, I know that. I guess Lin Zhen can come back before the start of the match tomorrow, and I will definitely give him the green light and waive the inspection, hehe!"

"You, Zhang Erniu, are great at flattering. What if someone chases after Lin Zhen?"

"Who dares to chase Lin Zhen? I'll shoot them down with one shot. Doesn't everyone know that I, Zhang Erniu, am good at playing with anti-aircraft guns?" The soldier named Zhang Erniu said with wide eyes.

Under the night sky, the Black Ghost sped through the clouds at an incredibly high speed, and in the blink of an eye, it had entered the original Mongolian grassland area.

Lin Zhen used the Black Ghost's network system to search for information on Chris.

"Chris, a Spiritual Mind Master, born with Divine Speed. Three years ago, she became a member of the European Union's London God Generals Training Camp. She performed well in the camp and was promoted to War God within two years. Her Dantian Qi has Nine Layers Compression…"

This information can be found on the Internet, but no one knows where Chris came from as her previous information is almost a blank slate. Lin Zhen took a deep breath as he confirmed his suspicions.

Chris is not a Westerner, she is An Ning.

The time when An Ning left home and when Chris appeared in the European Union is nearly the same, and An Ning is also a Spiritual Mind Master.

Years had passed, but An Ning's figure had not changed. Now that he thought about it, her blonde hair should be a wig, and the blue eyes are part of the metal mask.

In fact, Lin Zhen had suspected this early on, noticing some clues during the preliminary rounds, but he couldn't be sure yet.

When he received the 40 billion from Hansen, Lin Zhen was almost certain that there would be no one else in the world who would lend him 40 billion for nothing except An Ning.

When Lin Zhen closed his eyes on the stage, he was even more sure of this from her voice, especially when An Ning was shot and on the verge of death. Without disguising her voice, he could recognize her.

"Ah Ning! You've been wronged."

Lin Zhen could imagine An Ning's grievances. An Ning was not an ordinary woman; she had an extraordinarily high talent. As a Spiritual Mind Master with innate Divine Speed, she could reach the peak.

Maybe she still wanted to keep up with Lin Zhen's pace in her heart, but Lin

Zhen already had Su Mingyue. This must have broken her heart thoroughly.

Of course, Lin Zhen wouldn't give up on Su Mingyue. She had risked her life for

him many times, so how could he abandon her?

But he wouldn't give up on An Ning, either.

If An Ning was Lin Zhen's obsession from the past, then Su Mingyue was his obsession in this life. Having experienced both past and present lives, living for a thousand years and being reborn, if he gave up on either girl, his life would have been in vain.

An Ning had also been good to Lin Zhen. From the time she graduated and advised him, to giving him the secret manual for Mental Shock, and then risking an attack on Huo Luofu in the preliminary rounds to rescue Lin Zhen even though she knew he already had Su Mingyue, not to mention the 40 billion things.

In the stage battle just now, An Ning would rather be eliminated. She even knew what the consequences of deliberately losing would be, but she still did it. Although Lin Zhen didn't go all out in that battle, even if he had lost, he wouldn't have had to pay as high a price as An Ning.

Did she actually plan to leave her life behind by subjecting herself to fire execution?

"No! I absolutely won't allow it. Even if it's the Star Realm, I'll rescue An Ning!"

It must be said that the Black Ghost flying vehicle was a great purchase. Under ten times the normal speed, Lin Zhen arrived in Paris Base City from Ice City Base City within forty minutes, crossing 8,000 kilometers across Eurasia.

Lin Zhen had already communicated with the City Defense Army of Paris Base City in advance and accepted the inspection.

However, the situation in Paris was not as easy as in Ice City. After the infrared scan, they actually wanted to board the vehicle for a check.

Lin Zhen had no time to argue with them. The Black Ghost sped up and entered Paris Base City directly.

"Enemy attack, enemy attack! Attention, all units, a Black Ghost flying vehicle has entered the Base City and is currently heading towards the Eiffel Tower.

"Please intercept, please intercept! Do not use missiles, he has entered the city."

One military aircraft after another ascended into the sky, chasing after Lin Zhen's Black Ghost.

Lin Zhen didn't care about the Paris military personnel following behind him. The Black Ghost turned into a streak of light, getting closer to the Eiffel Tower in just a minute.

"Xiao Nuan, let's get down there!"

Seeing that the Eiffel Tower was just a few kilometers away, Lin Zhen issued the command to Xiao Nuan.

Xiao Nuan rarely acted lazily or playfully, understanding from its intelligence that its master was in a bad mood.

Its long red mane stood up, and the moment Lin Zhen finished speaking, the Black Ghost was withdrawn into the space ring, while the Lightning Wings "bang" flared up behind him.

Xiao Nuan closely followed Lin Zhen, stepping on the void and heading straight for the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower was a landmark building in Paris, rebuilt after the God Transformation Calendar, even more magnificent than before.

There was a huge screen hanging under the tower, which was the most densely populated place in Paris Base City.

Since the start of the War God's Knockout, many people in Paris gathered here to watch the live broadcast of the competition.

Chris, Ai Er, and Alice were the heroes in their minds and the hope of the European Union.

However, today their hero Chris betrayed them and deliberately lost to Lin Zhen from Hua Xia, resulting in her elimination.

The European Union people were angry, they wanted to settle the score with Chris, but then they heard the news from Old John.

On the big screen, Chris was wearing a tight red jacket, shaping a charming curve, and was imprisoned by spiritual power on a giant fire execution pillar.

Her metallic face mask was gone, and so was her long golden hair, replaced by shiny black hair and a delicate Eastern face.

Her obsidian-like eyes had lost their luster, and her red lips were somewhat dry. She gazed blankly at the night sky, seemingly unable to hear the curses from the people below.

"I hereby announce that Chris's real name is An Ning. She is from Ice City of Hua Xia. Three years ago, she came to London's God Generals Training Camp as Chris for special training. She is a Hua Xia spy!"

Old John shouted at the crowd.

"Execute the traitor!"

"Kill this woman; she must be here to spy on our information!"

"Burn her; she's here to seduce our European Union men!"

Many European Union women shouted loudly, but some men didn't say anything. After all, executing such a beautiful woman was not something the men wanted to see.

Old John, however, didn't have that sympathy. He had already entered the Star Core Period half a year ago and was now a Star Realm Expert.

Moreover, as the leader of the Nightingale killers, he had killed too many people. Although An Ning was the most beautiful criminal, she was still a criminal, and he would not be lenient.

"An Ning, do you have anything else to say?" Old John asked.

An Ning shook her head slightly, looking at the dark sky. "If there is an afterlife, I wish to become a star, accompanying you forever, eternally twinkling in the night sky, and never have to suffer the pain of parting." "You're stubborn and incorrigible. So be it."

Old John recited incantations. "Great and omnipotent True God of the Stars, please use your boundless compassion to take in the evil in this world. Let this woman return to your embrace and use eternal time to repent her sins…" After saying that, Old John addressed the people below. "Light the torch!"

Someone started lighting the torch, and the fire execution was about to begin.

The wind whistled in his ears, and the night view of Paris passed by Lin Zhen relentlessly. With his current vision, he could already see the crowd gathered under the Eiffel Tower.

He saw the fire execution pillar and could even faintly see the slender figure above it. All of this made Lin Zhen's eyes turn red.

"Faster!"

The Lightning Wings immediately accelerated to triple the speed of sound, swooping down from the sky.

Xiao Nuan also followed Lin Zhen closely, its eyes wide open and filled with faint starlight floating between blinks, and faint arcs of electricity leaping on its mane. Lin Zhen didn't know what abilities Xiao Nuan had by now. He had completely absorbed the energy that Lin Zhen had passed on to it.

In the two days since it came to Lin Zhen's home, Lin Zhen had been busy with his own affairs and had no time to play with Xiao Nuan, even forgetting how much this big eater could eat.

Lin Liye and Li Qin also liked Xiao Nuan a lot and often gave it food.

But from Xiao Nuan's point of view, what were those things they gave?

Lin Liye was fine, sometimes giving it two buns or steamed buns, while Li Qin, seeing how small Xiao Nuan was, gave it exquisitely prepared food, but not even enough to fill a tooth gap.

What were those tiny plates of cookies, a meaty bone, or fruits and milk after finishing it all?

Xiao Nuan felt that it could eat hundreds of those things through its nostrils instead.

Already starving, Xiao Nuan suddenly felt that it might be able to eat its fill today..

Old John took the torch handed over by the person beside him and looked at An Ning with a hint of regret.

"Chris, according to your Hua Xia people's ancient saying, 'a beauty who is now stained', you ended up like this because of Lin Zhen. Is it worth it?"

An Ning's eyes were downcast: "There is no worth or not worth, since I made the choice, I will bear the consequences. The European Union is not my home. Throw your torch."

An ugly old white woman in the front row looked at the beautiful An Ning and couldn't stand it anymore. She hysterically shouted out loud: "Burn her!" "Burn her!" A group of women shouted along.

Alice and Hansen were held by some War Gods, preventing them from taking any action.

Alice cried out in a mournful voice: "Miss!"

"Let me go, Lin Zhen will come to save her. Uh…" Struggling Hansen was struck hard in the abdomen, convulsing and lying on the ground.

Old John closed his eyes and threw the torch in his hand at the firewood under the fire execution pillar.

The fierce fire began to burn, and the men around couldn't bear to watch and turned their heads…

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack! Everyone, be alert, people from the East have broken into Paris, and the military is pursuing them. Please stay safe!"

A sudden and shrill alarm sounded and quickly approached.

People looked up at the sky, and saw a figure with a halo of electricity and giant wings on its back coming over at a very high speed.

"It's Lin Zhen!"

Alice shouted loudly: "Lin Zhen, save Miss quickly!"

"Huh!"

The strong wind swept through, and Lin Zhen arrived above the Eiffel Tower in the blink of an eye. When he was still hundreds of meters away from An Ning, he waved at her!

Gravity!

Lin Zhen pulled the burning flames from under An Ning's body through the air!

Old John was furious, this Easterner was just a War God, but he dared to cross Eurasia to rescue someone here. What did he take the European Union for! "War Gods of the European Union, eliminate this intruder for me!"

Old John raised his hand and pointed to Lin Zhen. He himself stood in front of the fire execution pillar, believing that Lin Zhen would definitely come here. As long as he kept an eye on An Ning, Lin Zhen wouldn't stand a chance.

Around a hundred European Union War Gods moved.

Lin Zhen dared to break into the Paris base city to save someone, which made the War Gods of the European Union feel insulted. There were almost three hundred War God powerhouses present, including more than a dozen Spiritual Mind Masters. How could they let Lin Zhen run wild here.

Moreover, Lin Zhen was recklessly diving towards the ground, which gave all

the War Gods the opportunity to attack him.

"Go! Kill this yellow-skinned pig!"

"What did he take Paris for? If everyone here punched you once, you would still be flat after being healed."

"Want to save that little slut, ask us if we agree first!"

Dozens of War Gods around them charged towards Lin Zhen. Each of them wanted to kill him. Lin Zhen was now famous worldwide. Killing him would make their name known worldwide.

Many warriors and War General-level people couldn't join the fight and took out their mobile phones to take pictures.

"Explosive! Lin Zhen breaks into Paris to save people!"

"Definitely headlines, Paris Group of Heroes against Lin Zhen."

"Outraged for a beauty, Lin Zhen races thousands of miles to save his lover, but may lose his Battle of War God's Knockout."

Live streaming had already started, and everyone on the internet would be immediately attracted by such headlines. The news spread quickly around the globe like it had grown wings.

Online viewership skyrocketed, even surpassing any single match in the War God's Knockout.

In the video, Lin Zhen had absorbed a huge ball of flame in his hand, and is challenging the group of War Gods in front of him.

At this moment, Lin Zhen was still in shock. An Ning almost got burned to death. If he had arrived a few minutes later, the consequences would have been unthinkable. He couldn't even bear to imagine the scene.

And these Parisian War Gods were trying to stop him from saving An Ning. Although from their national standpoint, they couldn't be blamed, Lin Zhen couldn't tolerate it!

"You heartless bastards! You actually wanted to burn a girl alive. All of you… go to hell!!!"

The large group of flames that Lin Zhen absorbed had already burned his hand, but he didn't seem to notice. Not until the group of War Gods was about to attack, suddenly he swung his hand violently.

A large mass of burning firewood was turned into a fire dragon by Lin Zhen, which ruthlessly whipped into the crowd.

A series of screams echoed one after another, with some War Gods being hit, but more bystanders were affected as well.

Lin Zhen showed no mercy in his heart. These onlookers watched as his An Ning was subjected to the fire execution, and they deserved to die!

The sudden fire attack disrupted the formation of the War Gods, and the Broken Jade Spear appeared in Lin Zhen's hand the next moment.

Behind him, the force of lightning and light bursts forth, Lin Zhen's long hair flying like a ghost, he speaks to Xiao Nuan who is closely following him, "Xiao Nuan, split up and attack, the target is the girl on the rescue pillar, whoever dares block you, you can eat them at will today!"

"Roar!"

Xiao Nuan lets out an excited roar from her throat, spreads her four claws, and rushes towards the direction of the fire execution pillar.

Lin Zhen's Broken Jade Spear is infused with golden energy, elevating it to the level of a top-quality celestial device. With a flap of his Lightning Wings, he shouts, "Whoever blocks me shall die!"

Moving at a speed of a thousand meters per second, he instantly arrives in front of several War Gods.

His mighty body, strengthened numerous times by lightning ions, lightning photons, charged particles, and domineering stones, now erupts with astonishing energy. Streaks of electricity flash across the Broken Jade Spear Storm of Spear Light!

In this kind of group battle, Lin Zhen's incredible speed and power make the Storm of Spear Light an unparalleled weapon of mass destruction.

Six War Gods reach Lin Zhen, but before they can react, they are each pierced by an electric light!

Lin Zhen doesn't demand accuracy, but ruthlessness. Stabbing through the throat, eye sockets, chest, and lower abdomen, the overflowing golden energy turns their insides into a mushy mess!

The sudden deaths of the six War Gods block the path of those behind them. In the next second, Lin Zhen appears among the crowd behind them.

"Kill!

With his right hand, he thrusts the spear through the bodies of three War Gods. At the same time, his left hand pulls out liquid metal, turning it into a two-meter-long Imife. Without even looking back, he swings it in a sweeping motion!

Three more War Gods are sliced into six pieces!

Blood splatters all over, staining Lin Zhen from head to toe. As his spear is stuck in the center of three people's bodies, he kicks the base of the spear with one foot, and the spear shoots through, instantly impaling a War God who had just rushed over!

"Swish, swish!" Two celestial western swords come from left and right. Lin Zhen raises his left hand to grab the sword on the left. The liquid metal in his hand transforms into a hammer and smashes the attacker's head!

Brain matter splatters like a thousand blooming peach blossoms!

The sword on the right pierces Lin Zhen's waist and abdomen but is blocked by the high-grade celestial device armor hidden under his clothes. Lin Zhen's right hand suddenly extends backwards like lightning, a large clump of golden energy exploding in his hand, instantly shredding the attacker!

While Lin Zhen is engaged in a massacre, Xiao Nuan also erupts. Many people didn't take this little dog seriously at first, and even a War General went forward to try to catch her.

As he approaches, Xiao Nuan pounces, her speed so much faster than Lin Zhen's accelerated speed with his Lightning Wings. Her seemingly small mouth suddenly opens wide, biting off half of the War General's head in one bite.

"This dog is fierce!"

"Kill it! It's an S-level Mutated Beast!"

"This human traitor, Lin Zhen, actually brought an S-level Mutated Beast. We cannot let him live!"

Currently, no one on Earth, apart from Lin Zhen, knows about the existence of Galaxy Beasts.

Xiao Nuan is a newborn Galaxy Beast, possessing the power equivalent to an S-level Mutated Beast during the Star Core Period. So, to these people, she appears to be an S-level Mutated Beast.

At first, some hesitated to attack Lin Zhen, but now that a human has joined forces with a Mutated Beast, that is something they cannot tolerate. Mutated Beasts are the enemies of humanity, isn't this an act of betrayal?

A team of War Gods swarmed towards Xiao Nuan, thinking that even an S-level Mutated Beast wouldn't be able to withstand their joint attack.

However, Xiao Nuan immediately taught them a lesson, demonstrating the true meaning of lightning speed.

Her four small paws step on faint traces of electricity, and her figure moves so fast that it can't be caught. Each time she appears and swings her paws, she severs throats, and each time she opens her mouth, she bites off half a brain!

Unlike the bizarre deaths caused by Lin Zhen, Xiao Nuan specifically attacks the heads, either completely removing them or taking off half.

Blood flows on the ground, and the area around the iron tower has already become an Asura arena.

In less than a minute since Lin Zhen's appearance, more than a hundred people have been killed in battle, most of them War Gods!

Old John watches from under the iron tower, his eyelids twitching. Are these really War Gods? Is that an S-level Mutated Beast?

"Woo woo!"

Playing an air raid alarm, military flying saucer fighters approach. Old John

shouts, "Everyone fall back! Let him taste the power of laser cannons!"

On the flying saucer fighter, the laser cannon begins to brew blue light, aiming for a precise attack on Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen swiftly retracts his Broken Jade Spear, and with two balls of spear light, he clears the surroundings into a vacuum. Suddenly turning around, a beam of lightning shoots straight into the night sky!

Thunder Kill!

Under this powerful attack, the flying saucer fighter is pierced and explodes into a firework in the sky with a loud boom.

"Army in the War God's fight, ants dare to meddle! Get lost!"

Lin Zhen, with bloodshot eyes, raises his hand and sends out four more Thunder Kills, destroying the surrounding flying saucer fighters one after another.

Burning pieces of metal rain down from the sky, igniting raging fires on the ground.

Having finally cleared the interferences, Lin Zhen skims the ground at high speed, his eyes flashing with dark gold light as he heads straight for Old John under the tower!

Xiao Nuan follows Lin Zhen closely. Having killed many people, her tiny sharp teeth are now even more lethal as she ferociously pounces towards Old John!

Facing the bloodthirsty pair of human and beast, Old John's eyelids twitch non-stop.. Since entering the Star Realm, this is the first time he's felt danger!

Chapter 256: Chapter 256: Lin Zhen and the Star Realm 's Shocking Showdown!

Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen's frenzied slaughter had caused shockwaves around the world.

Countless people watched Lin Zhen's performance in front of the Eiffel Tower through online streaming, and everyone was dumbstruck. "My God! Lin Zhen must be a demon, he's a demon!"

"How is this guy so strong? The War Gods can't stop him at all."

"What's up with that dog? It's actually killing more people than Lin Zhen, is it an S-level Mutated Beast? It can't be SS-level, right?"

"Why did something like this happen? How did the European Union provoke Lin Zhen? Why is he slaughtering so crazily?"

"The reason is clear; it's because of that woman named Chris, or rather An Ning. She's an Easterner and Lin Zhen's first love. Because she was to be executed by the European Union for going easy on Lin Zhen in the War God's Knockout, Lin Zhen lost it."

"If that's the case, I actually think it's understandable. The people in Paris are simply inhumane, trying to burn such a beautiful girl alive. Good for Lin Zhen!"

"Has the above person gone mad? It's understandable for Lin Zhen to save someone, but he's actually accompanied by an S-level Mutated Beast! This is definitely going against humanity, it's absolutely intolerable! "

"Is that an S-level Mutated Beast? How come I've never seen this species before?"

"The people of the United States believe that Lin Zhen should be banned from participating in the War God's Knockout. His abilities have already exceeded the scope of the Knockout…"

"I don't think Lin Zhen will succeed. That old man must be a Star Realm Expert, no matter how strong a War God is, they're definitely no match for a Star Realm.'

Comments on the internet were flooding the screens. People all over the world were discussing this, and even news reports temporarily covered this incident. The whole world was watching Paris.

An Ning, watching Lin Zhen's mad slaughter below, could no longer hold back her tears.

He really came!

Originally, in An Ning's heart, Lin Zhen had already moved on, and sooner or later would marry Su Mingyue, the Saintess of the Divine Sect. An Ning considered herself the one who had been abandoned.

At first, she thought she could follow Lin Zhen's footsteps and accompany him all the way.

However, the draw for the group stage coincidentally had her and Lin Zhen in the same group. In order to ensure Lin Zhen's smooth advancement, she still chose to go easy on him.

She felt that Lin Zhen might have noticed her. At this point, Old John came to settle the scores, and in her despair, An Ning felt that the whole world was gray. She had given up on resisting.

But he still came, risking all dangers, and came just as she was on the verge of being trapped.

It turned out that he never abandoned her or forgot about her at all. There were Star Realm experts and so many War Gods here, and he dared to break in!

Looking at Lin Zhen's blood-stained body, as if possessed by a mad demon, An Ning realized how important she was to him. No ordinary person would do such a thing.

But An Ning didn't think Lin Zhen would be successful. Even if his strength was already enough to crush other War Gods, even a group of War Gods couldn't stop him; but the Star Realm was absolutely different.

The Star Realm was a transcendent existence. Warriors, War Generals, and War Gods were collectively referred to as the three tiers of the Mortal Realm, meaning they hadn't yet transcended the mortal plane.

Once one breaks through the Pre-Star Realm and successfully condenses a Star Core, they enter the Star Realm. The gap between this realm and the Mortal Realm is too vast.

If a War God can live up to 200 years, then a Star Realm would have at least a thousand years of life.

In terms of combat, the Dantian energy condensing the Star Core and transforming it into Star Power is a higher level than the Dantian energy, and its power is beyond comparison.

Old John, who looked to be in his fifties or sixties, was actually a hundred years old. With his years of accumulation, his battle power was unimaginable. An Ning was also put in a helpless situation by Old John's God Prohibition; not only was she mentally restrained, but she was also bound by a top-quality Star Artifact chain, unable to move.

According to An Ning's knowledge, Old John's Spiritual Power had reached the peak of Dark Gold and was even evolving towards the Diamond Realm. How could Lin Zhen resist?

Weiwei closed her eyes and left her fate to the gods.

If Lin Zhen could really save her, she would follow Lin Zhen and let him arrange her love life.

If Lin Zhen failed, then they would become a pair of doomed lovers here.

Old John stared intently at Lin Zhen as a long whip appeared in his hand.

A top-quality Star Artifact whip!

Seeing Lin Zhen charging over, but that Mutated Beast suddenly ran to the side to pounce on and kill other War Gods, Old John's heart loosened. If it was just Lin Zhen alone, it would be easier to deal with.

"Lin Zhen! You're too arrogant! I will let you know that the power of the Star

Realm is absolutely not something you can resist!"

A whip lashed out.

Whether on the Internet or on television, many people saw a Star Realm expert in action for the first time. Thanks to Lin Zhen's raid on Paris, they finally learned the power of a Star Realm expert.

It sounded like hundreds of speeding trucks braking at once.

"Screech – crash!"

Through the camera lens, the ripple of space could be seen clearly, and a faintly visible black crack appeared and disappeared, the lightning-fast whip striking Lin Zhen, who was rushing towards it!

With such a whip, anyone would be crushed to dust!

Lin Zhen seemed to fade away under the whip, leading people to believe he had been turned to ashes.

But in the next second, Lin Zhen appeared above Old John!

Teleportation!

In the process of his high-speed movement and teleportation, he actually left behind an afterimage. Old John's whip that tore through the space only struck his afterimage.

Lin Zhen held the Broken Jade Spear tightly in his hand and fiercely thrust it down!

This might be the first time in the God Transformation Calendar with video records that a War God below the Star Realm had attacked the Star Realm. This scene made people's hearts palpitate and their blood boil.

Regardless of whether Lin Zhen succeeded or failed, his courage was worthy of people's admiration, and it also made many watching Martial Artists have a thought in their hearts.

A Martial Artist should be like this!

A cold smile appeared on Old John's lips, and his whip was like a spirit snake. As soon as Lin Zhen appeared above his head, he lashed it out at a diagonal angle!

"Snap!"

There was a flash of light on Lin Zhen's body, and the Spiritual Barrier blocked it for a moment before it was shattered by the whip. Lin Zhen was struck and flew through the air, heading straight for a distant high-rise building!

Lin Zhen's body seemed like a cannonball, shattering the glass of the high-rise building and crashing into it. But as soon as he entered, he bounced back like he was attached to a spring. With the fluttering of his Lightning Wings, he rushed back in an instant.

Blood had already spilled from the corners of his mouth, but he would never give up. With An Ning still there, how could he give up!

Old John sneered, and his whip turned into a stream of light again, viciously lashing towards Lin Zhen with a thunderous sound!

Teleportation!

Interrupt!

Old John's Diamond Level spiritual power was slightly higher than Lin Zhen's. He decisively interrupted Lin Zhen's teleportation. This time, there was no way to dodge the whip, and Lin Zhen was struck fiercely again!

He smashed into the building once more. Old John's whip didn't hesitate for a moment and struck the building ruthlessly!

The long whip floated with a faint starlight, seeming to have instantly grown hundreds of meters in length. This time, people witnessed the power of a Star Realm Expert, as a building collapsed with a single strike of the whip.

Boom, boom, boom!

Heavy smoke filled the air as rubble fell and a building collapsed in five seconds.

"This attack… Lin Zhen is definitely doomed, right?"

"He should be. That's a top-quality Star Artifact whip, and Lin Zhen has already taken two blows."

"Why do I feel that this Old John is so ruthless? Lin Zhen killed enemies, but he just casually collapsed a building; there must be many ordinary people inside, right?"

"I'm from the United States, but I think Lin Zhen is right. He should be a hero."

Old John looked at the collapsed building and laughed loudly, "Lin Zhen, you arrogant and ignorant boy. Do you know how powerful I am now? The power of the Star Realm is not something you can challenge. Your spiritual power and your teleportation are worthless in front of me. My Star Power can easily crush your Dantian Qi. That's the biggest difference between the Star Realm and non-Star Realm."

"Boom, boom!"

Several pieces of broken stones flew up, and Lin Zhen swayed and stood up from the rubble again.

"Hehe, you really are a tenacious fellow. Was it that piece of liquid metal that saved your life?"

A piece of liquid metal on Lin Zhen's chest had collapsed, saving Lin Zhen's life.

Lin Zhen straightened his Broken Jade Spear, pointing at Old John, "Old John, your power is just like that. Today, you definitely can't stop me from taking An

Ning away."

"Shameless boasting! This time, I'll take your life!"

Old John raised his eyebrows, and his whip crossed a hundred meters of space, aiming straight for Lin Zhen's forehead!

Immovable like a mountain!

Lin Zhen's Broken Jade Spear waved, scattering layers of light curtains to resist Old John's whip attack. At the same time, behind him, his Lightning Wings kept fluttering, supporting his body as it rapidly advanced.

The long whip and spear collided, creating loud rumbling sounds, as if countless hand grenades had exploded on Lin Zhen's body.

Old John was surprised to find that Lin Zhen's strength was incredible, managing to bear his whip attack and continuously moving forward!

"This time, I'll cut you off!" Old John's body surged with Star Power, preparing to make a fierce attack.

However, in this moment of hesitance, Lin Zhen suddenly switched from defense to offense and assumed the Thunder Kill stance again.

Seeing this move, Old John's pupils shrank. Lin Zhen had used this move to shoot down the saucer-shaped aircraft earlier, and its power was immense.

However, he was confident that Lin Zhen couldn't hit him. The speed of the Star Realm was not just for show, and he was prepared to interrupt Lin Zhen's teleportation at any time.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a flying knife suddenly shot towards Old John!

A flying knife that emitted countless rays of light, like a meteor in the night sky, instantly killing Old John!

"Top-quality Star Artifact flying knife!" Old John shouted, immediately using his whip to block it. He had no choice but to block; this was a top-quality Star Artifact, and it could easily be fatal.

Just then, Lin Zhen teleported.

He appeared behind Old John, and his Broken Jade Spear's Thunder Kill aimed straight for Old John's heart!

Old John scoffed, thinking that even if he blocked the flying knife, he could still evade Lin Zhen's attack.

Just as he tried to dodge, the dog that had been fighting on the other side suddenly appeared at his feet, biting his thigh and pulling hard. Old John's Star Realm strength couldn't break free!

"Not good!" Old John screamed in near-death fear.

The Thunder Kill arrived with a roar and struck Old John's lower back!/p
