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..
