Age of Evolution# Chapter 74 – Lightning Ion

Chapter 74: Chapter 74: Lightning Ion

They looked at each other, not knowing what to do. As they were at a loss, rapid footsteps suddenly came from a distance.

Gao Yan was the first to be scared: “This person’s speed is so fast! My god! He’s flying, he must be a spiritual mind master! Let’s run!”

Zhao Liang and Shi Lei exchanged glances, then patted Gao Yan on the shoulder: “Old Gao, don’t worry. The person coming is Lin Zhen.”

It was indeed Lin Zhen. After killing Chen Jingchou, Lin Zhen took the planet core back to Base City.

At that time, he didn’t go home, but went to the water park instead.

“Killing Chen Jingchou brought me a generous reward, but it also brought danger. With Chen Jingchou’s death, Changfeng’s people will definitely not let this go. Although my actions were relatively concealed, it’s impossible to erase all traces. Changfeng’s people might come at any time.”

“So, I can’t go home now. Moreover, I need to have more powerful strength in the shortest time possible – strength that is enough to protect myself.”

The battle with Chen Jingchou also made Lin Zhen more aware of his own shortcomings.

Although he had defeated several opponents in the past, including several War Generals, none of them were elite masters, and their strength was relatively weak among their peers.

Lin Zhen wouldn’t have been able to defeat someone like Chen Jingchou, a Warrior at his peak, without the help of his spiritual mind power.

However, his talent is not outstanding, so it would be challenging to improve his strength in a short period.

Sitting on the park bench, Lin Zhen gently rubbed the planet core in his hand.

“I have two paths to improve my strength now. The first one is to enter the War General Stage. I need two steps to enter the War General Stage.”

“Use the Dark Energy Stone to greatly increase my strength, then take a Qi-sensing auxiliary elixir to expand my Dantian, allowing my true Qi to circulate and enter the War General Stage. The Dark Energy Stone can greatly increase my strength, allowing me to have power beyond a typical junior War General before entering the War General Stage. With such a solid foundation, my true Qi will run smoothly, and once I enter the War General Stage, I might be able to break through the limit of a first-level War General and advance to the second level.”

“However, it’s not ideal to immediately enter the War General Stage, because I still have to go to the martial arts hall once and deal with the Russians from Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall. Once I become a War General, I will lose my eligibility to participate in the competition, so I must participate as a Warrior.”

“The second path to improve my strength is this planet core I hold in my hand.

As far as I know, planet cores have three uses: one is to cultivate Universal Gravitation, one is to master the mysteries of Energy, and in addition to these two, there is a very magical use – to condense a Dark Star!”

From the boundary point of view, Warriors, War Generals, and War Gods are collectively referred to as the Three Realms of Mortal Realm, which means that these three realms are only mortal realms, and all the births, aging, illness, and deaths are inevitable.

Only when you reach the War God Peak, and the Qi vortex in your body’s Dantian condenses a Star Core, can you truly enter the Star Realm, possessing a long life and the ability to fly, making you god-like and omnipotent in the eyes of mortals.

After condensing the Star Core, a Star Realm Warrior can advance to the Meteor Stage and Comet Stage, which are called the Three Realms of the Star Realm.

The subsequent Satellite Stage, Planet Stage and Constant Star Stage are called the Three Realms of the Constant Realm, which is, in essence, the evolutionary

process of the Dantian Universe.

However, whether in the Star Realm or the Constant Realm, you can only have one star in your body.

The power of the Dantian Universe determines the power of the martial artist, and one star equals one unit of power. Every martial artist’s power is only one unit.

However, there is a legend in the Star Realm that if a martial artist can obtain a Planet Core when they first perceive the Qi in their Dantian, they can evolve a

Dark Star in their Dantian.

The Dark Star hides in the dark part of a martial artist’s Dantian, acting as the second source of the martial artist’s power, and has countless other magical uses.

But this is just a legend. Lin Zhen hadn’t seen any martial artist with a Dark Star in his previous life of a thousand years. Of course, this could also be because his strength was low in his previous life, and he didn’t know any powerful people.

But in any case, since he obtained a Planet Core today, Lin Zhen would do everything in his power to try and condense a Dark Star.

However, Lin Zhen did not yet possess the conditions to condense a Dark Star, because the condensation of a Dark Star requires a martial artist to be at the War General Stage, with Dark Force circulating throughout their body, before it can be formed in their Dantian.

So at the moment, all Lin Zhen could do was to try and cultivate either Gravitation or the Thunder and Lightning Element.

He had to choose one of the two options.

As for which one to choose, Lin Zhen was already well-prepared.

With a wave of his hand, he took out some items that he had prepared in his space ring. These were things he had purchased immediately upon his return to Base City, just for this purpose.

Metal wires. Most of the things Lin Zhen took out were metal wires!

Apart from the metal wires, there was also a pile of batteries.

“Cultivating gravitation is an extremely difficult process, and the only way to enhance one’s strength quickly is through the thunder and lightning element.”

“The thunder and lightning element within the planet core will not come out without guidance. It contains the basic states of thunder and lightning, which are lightning ions, photons, and atoms. If one guides too much at once, it may electrocute oneself. Using a conductor to attract it little by little is the best method.”

Lin Zhen wound one end of the metal wire around the battery, holding it with one hand, and took another metal wire in his other hand. After taking a deep breath and feeling his body in its prime condition, he gently placed it on the meteorite atop the planet core.

“Papapa!”

When the positive and negative poles made contact, electricity was generated. In the night sky, a faint blue electric arc surrounded Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen trembled all over his body, feeling a current flow through him. He had never experienced such a tingling sensation before, and it almost made him scream out loud.

“Cultivating lightning is not something a mere mortal can do!”

Ordinary people might have abandoned the metal wire right away, but Lin

Zhen didn’t. His thoughts became more and more clear at this moment, and he even recalled that the reason Chen Jingchou rose to prominence in his past life was due to his sword technique.

Fast!

Unimaginably fast!

Now that he thought about it, Chen Jingchou must have also mastered the secrets of thunder and lightning. If he could do it, what was stopping Lin Zhen?

Perhaps the Lin Zhen of his previous life couldn’t, but this time, Lin Zhen wouldn’t lose to anyone!

Lin Zhen endured the intense pain of fainting, allowing his body to adapt to the power of lightning.

“I only used the smallest voltage metal wire. If I can’t withstand even this little bit of electricity, how can I talk about reaching the peak? I might as well go home in peace!”

“Shalashala!”

The lightning ions wreaked havoc inside Lin Zhen’s body. He used nearly all of his strength to resist the current, with no energy left to perceive the lightning. “Endure! Endure what others cannot! Only then can one rise above the rest!”

A scent of grilled meat wafted through the night, and Lin Zhen felt his palms almost as if they no longer belonged to him, shaking like chaff.

One minute passed by, and Lin Zhen held on!

Three minutes passed, and Lin Zhen’s pain doubled!

Five minutes went by, and the pain reached its peak. He wanted to let go countless times, but his strong willpower kept him hanging on!

After ten minutes, Lin Zhen’s sensation of pain became somewhat numb.

Thirty minutes, half an hour had passed. When the moon rose to its zenith in the cold winter night, aside from his body still involuntarily shaking, Lin Zhen’s thoughts finally cleared up a bit.

This process took only half an hour, but to Lin Zhen, it felt like a hundred years. His past life’s experience of a thousand years had never been so painful.

However, he persevered, and he had somewhat adapted to the flow of lightning in his body.

“Thankfully, my physical constitution is excellent in this life, allowing me to endure these thirty minutes.”

His dark hand tightly gripped the metal wire, feeling the thunder and lightning moving through his limbs and body.

The cool moonlight fell from the sky, casting a faint silver glow on Lin Zhen, making him feel somewhat more comfortable. “Mm!”

At this moment, Lin Zhen could feel it!

He felt it! He felt that the current was like a surging river, and like a real river, each droplet of water formed a tiny golden light sphere!

These light spheres were incredibly fast, but Lin Zhen could clearly sense their presence.

“This is…. this is the basic form of lightning, the lightning ion! The source of lightning’s speed!”
