Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Calculating in the Dark (Guarantee 1 more update)

Lin Zhen succeeded with a single blow and without stopping, he soared over the hills. Even though flying ants quickly chased him from behind, he didn’t care as he rapidly descended out of sight, with a two-colored golden and silver light shield emerging from his body.

“Bang, bang, bang, bang!”

A series of violent impacts occurred, but the flying ants couldn’t break through Lin Zhen’s defenses for the time being.

Lin Zhen landed and turned around to unleash a large swath of spear light again. The Storm technique was even more useful in this environment than Long River, and another group of flying ants were slaughtered.

Lin Zhen charged forward with two steps, not far from where several Star Crystals lay.

A Soldier Ant lunged at him with teeth and claws, but without a second word, Lin Zhen released a Waterfall attack, killing the large creature on the spot.

To handle these large targets, the Storm technique was no longer effective. However, fortunately, Lin Zhen’s arsenal of techniques was rich enough that he wasn’t the least bit afraid.

After consecutively killing five or six Soldier Ants and slaughtering another group of worker ants, Lin Zhen finally arrived at the Star Crystals.

The closest to him was a Comet Crystal, and the liquid metal at his waist transformed into a curved blade, which he used to slice off the flower, the Star Crystal, and part of the tree trunk.

Gravity!

A gravitational force was emitted, and the Star Crystal fell directly into Lin Zhen’s Space Ring.

He got his first Star Crystal!

Lin Zhen’s spirits soared, as the ant nest was indeed a treasure trove, allowing him to obtain a Comet Crystal with ease.

Despite being delighted, he didn’t waste any time, quickly moving on to the next Star Crystal. He suddenly turned around and raised his hand into the air, releasing a burst of light golden rays!

Seven or eight flying ants were riddled with holes and fell from the sky.

Following the same process, Lin Zhen collected the second Comet Crystal.

After repeating this several times, he had obtained eight Comet Crystals!

“Whew! That should be enough. These Comet Crystals should be enough for me to absorb this time. I’ll give one to Brother Guang, and Sun Tie and Luo Zhen are my teammates. Although they didn’t contribute much, they did join the competition, so I can’t leave them empty-handed. I’ll give them two. The remaining five should be enough for me to reach the Four-level Peak. It’s time to go back.”

Although he had only been there for less than twenty minutes, Lin Zhen was already very exhausted. The intensity of this battle was too great, and it was very draining for him.

As he prepared to leave, Lin Zhen suddenly saw a blooming flower on the mountain peak about 200 meters away from him. Above it, a light blue Star Crystal hovered.

“A Planet Crystal!”

Although the Comet Crystals were useful for himself, they weren’t much use to Su Mingyue. Lin Zhen didn’t want to leave without bringing her something, especially since she was injured, and the Planet Crystal would be perfect for her to absorb.

Furthermore, if they wanted to be ranked third on the left branches and face challenges, they would need to pay a Planet Crystal if they wanted to fight as a team. Whether it was for Su Mingyue or to hand it in, Lin Zhen desperately needed this item.

Lin Zhen had a clear understanding of his relationship with Su Mingyue, and he didn’t want her to go down the same path as in his previous life. Therefore, he wanted to change her fate, but not necessarily to be with her.

In his new life, Lin Zhen pursued the peak, and this goal had never changed. Everything else would always come second.

Of course, as a friend, Lin Zhen wanted to help Su Mingyue and make up for his guilt from standing by in his previous life. Moreover, Su Mingyue had saved him in the competition yesterday, risking her life without any hesitation to do so, which greatly moved Lin Zhen’s ironclad heart.

With no time to spare, Lin Zhen stood on his shield and rushed toward the Planet Crystal, with a large group of buzzing flying ants following behind him as others continuously rose into the air to block him.

However, none of these could stop Lin Zhen. He believed that they would be able to successfully retrieve the Planet Crystal and return, as long as his

Dantian energy did not run out and he wasn’t surrounded by large groups of Soldier Ants and flying ants. He was confident he could escape.

At the largest tree hole by the water’s edge, Zhang Sicheng stood beside Brother Guang with thick bandages around his shoulder.

“Brother Guang, you must help me this time.”

Brother Guang looked at him: “How’s your injury?

“It’s no good. Even if I recover, practicing martial arts will be very difficult. My life is ruined at the hands of that bastard Lin Zhen.”

“What do you plan to do?” Brother Guang asked.

“Brother Guang, here is all I have, worth over 20 billion. I’ll give it all to you, as well as the bank card password. You can withdraw the money once you leave. I only ask that you help me get rid of Lin Zhen, and never let him leave the Star Fruit Tree.”

Brother Guang hesitated for a moment, took the Space Ring handed to him by Zhang Sicheng: “This matter is not easy to handle. I’m not in a position to directly attack other Martial Artists, as you know.”

“But I know you have great power, Brother Guang, and I’m sure you’ll find a way. I beg you.”

With that, Zhang Sicheng kneeled in front of Brother Guang and kowtowed despite his pain, not being stopped by Brother Guang.

Eventually, after seeing Zhang Sicheng’s forehead bleed from the kowtowing, Brother Guang said, “There may be a way, but you’ll have to be patient. Remember, Zhang Sicheng, the best way to take revenge on someone is not to kill them, but to make them lose their most precious things, lose their fighting spirit, accomplish nothing, and then be at your mercy. That’s even better than killing them.”

“Alright! I think this kid’s most precious thing is his girlfriend. If I can get her, I will definitely…!”

“Don’t even think about it. Do you know who that woman is? She is a disciple of the God’s Grace Cathedral from Capital Base City, and she is a Saintess. If you dare to touch her, you’re asking for death. Even I wouldn’t dare. After all, we can’t stay in the Star Fruit Tree forever, and we will have to leave in a few years and live outside. Nobody would dare to offend the Capital Divine Sect.” “Ah! A disciple of the Great Divine Sect? What should we do then?”

“Don’t worry, I know a way, but we need to do some work first. Just relax, I promise to hit Lin Zhen hard and make him unable to achieve anything.” Brother Guang said, putting away Zhang Sicheng’s Space Ring.

Lin Zhen flew over the hills and headed straight for the Planet Crystal.

As he approached, a group of Soldier Ants appeared and pounced on him with their claws bared.

Swinging his spear, Lin Zhen finally managed to kill the Soldier Ants when suddenly the ground began to tremble.

Dry branches and rotten leaves were scattered as a giant Soldier Ant crawled out from below.

“Queen’s Guard Ant!”

Here in the ant nest, there is a Queen Ant, who breeds all ants. The Queen Ant itself doesn’t have much fighting power, so some especially strong Soldier Ants become Queen Guard Ants.

This one, standing more than four meters tall and more than ten meters long, not including its antennae, is the most powerful ant in the nest, and Lin Zhen encountered it on his first visit.

With its massive fangs constantly opening and closing, it lunged straight for Lin Zhen.

Though Lin Zhen could kill Soldier Ants and Flying Ants, he couldn’t easily kill this Queen’s Guard Ant.

However, he didn’t want to give up on the Planet Crystal, so he tried to circle around the Ant a couple of times but failed. He then dashed down the hillside.

With the Queen’s Guard Ant chasing after him, Lin Zhen made a sudden turn and raised his hand toward the Planet Crystal in the distance.

Gravity!

The Planet Crystal was enveloped by a strong gravitational force and flew directly into Lin Zhen’s hand. However, along with it came piles of dead branches and dust, which covered Lin Zhen with dirt and made him look extremely embarrassed.

Lin Zhen didn’t care and ran wildly on his shield, with his shining silver spear frequently swinging, barely escaping from the chase of the Queen’s Guard Ant and the siege of countless Flying Ants.

By the time he returned to the base of the tree vines, his clothes were soaked with sweat, and his chest was heaving violently.

This time, it was too dangerous. If he had been delayed a little longer, he might not have been able to make it back.

Stepping on his shield, Lin Zhen returned to the tree branches.

Since he had gone to the other side of the hill, no one knew how he had fared. When people saw Lin Zhen return, the crowd slowly dispersed.

First, Lin Zhen gave Sun Tie and Luo Zhen two Comet Crystals. Then, he returned to the tree hole with Su Mingyue and gave her the Planet Crystal.

Su Mingyue glanced at Lin Zhen and whispered ‘thank you.” She then handed him a towel to wipe off his sweat.

Lin Zhen wiped briefly, then went to see Brother Guang and gave him a Comet Crystal. Afterward, he returned to the tree hole and began absorbing the remaining five Comet Crystals.

This absorption took a whole day, but the results were significant. Lin Zhen’s realm finally reached the Four-level Peak. With four or five more Comet Crystals, he could be promoted to a Fifth-level War General.

After finishing the absorption, Lin Zhen went to Su Mingyue, who took the initiative to inform him: “My wounds have healed, and next time I can go with you to collect Star Crystals.”

Hearing that Su Mingyue’s wounds had healed, Lin Zhen was delighted. However, he was still worried: “Your face still looks a little pale, are you sure you’re fully recovered?”

“Of course, I’m fine. Why would I lie to you? Can’t a little injury be healed by absorbing one Star Crystal?” Su Mingyue blinked her big eyes.

“I feel relieved now. Next week, we will face challenges from other teams. I was thinking that if you weren’t fully recovered, we would give up. But now, it seems we don’t have to. As long as we both participate, we can give it a try.”

“Yes, we won’t give up on what you’ve worked so hard to obtain,” said Su Mingyue firmly.

Looking at Su Mingyue, Lin Zhen recalled her previous life’s daring feats and suddenly said, “You will become the strongest Martial Artist in the future.” “I’m not that talented. I have a senior sister who came to the God Generals Training Camp a few years ago. She’s really amazing, and I’ve been afraid of her since I was a child.” Su Mingyue blushed, lacking confidence in herself.

“I believe you are the most outstanding one,” Lin Zhen encouraged with a smile, ignoring her senior sister.

Su Mingyue stretched out a crystal-clear little finger to Lin Zhen, “Well, I will work hard, and you have to speed up your practice too. Let’s strive to leave here together.”

Lin Zhen smiled and felt that Su Mingyue was a bit childish, but he still hooked his finger with her: “It’s a deal.”

A week passed quickly, and Lin Zhen’s team finally faced their first challenge..
