New Team's Combat Power (Third Bonus Chapter)

The Central Branch is the largest of the three branches, and the central peak of the Ant Nest it faces is also the place that produces the most high-grade Star Crystal.

Therefore, among the three branches, the Central Branch is the best position, and the groups here are relatively superior.

Zhang Sicheng followed the Third Squad of the Central Branch. During this period, he did laundry, cooked, massaged legs, and other chores for people every day. He also gained the recognition of the squad, and they would occasionally give him a low-level Star Crystal, which helped his injuries a lot. Although he could not recover his previous combat power, he was still much stronger than an ordinary person.

This was another day of challenge. Liu Dong, the captain of the Central Third Squad, asked, "Is there any squad that wants to challenge us?"

Zhang Sicheng had just finished preparing breakfast when he immediately flattered, "Captain Liu, there's no one that blind to such things. Our team hasn't received any challenges for months, has there? Those cowards who bully the weak only dare to challenge the teams on the left and right. Everyone knows that our Third Squad on the Central Branch is stronger than the second teams on the other branches."

Liu Dong seemed to enjoy Zhang Sicheng's compliment and laughed, "These days are really boring. Apart from getting some Star Crystal on Sundays, there's nothing to do the rest of the time. When that little fairy was around, I could occasionally catch a glimpse of her to satisfy my craving, but now there's nothing."

Zhang Sicheng curled his lips. "Lin Zhen is a good-for-nothing. He can't even keep a girlfriend. She was taken away and he didn't dare to say a word. Now he's always so lifeless. I want to kick him when I see him."

"Zhang Sicheng Zhang Sicheng, I know you have a grudge against Lin Zhen, but you don't have to belittle him like that. Although he is indeed a coward, haha!" Liu Dong laughed.

A fellow martial artist chimed in, "Lin Zhen is really done for. At first, he seemed quite strong, and I thought we had a worthy opponent. I never expected that losing his girlfriend would break him like this. A martial artist like that has no future."

Another martial artist deliberately said, "Don't say that. Maybe he's just biding his time, thinking about forming a new team to take on the challenge. After all, his former teammates were really terrible."

Zhang Sicheng chimed in, "Even if he had a few times the courage, he wouldn't dare. Guang Ge has secretly warned that no one is allowed to team up with Lin Zhen. Who else can he team up with? Besides, even if he did, he wouldn't dare to cause trouble in our Central Squad. If he dares to come, I, Zhang Sicheng, will write my name backwards!"

"I'll write it backwards too."

"I'll do three somersaults and then write it backwards."

The martial artists chattered amongst themselves, saying that when Su Mingyue was around, they were all incredibly jealous of Lin Zhen, but now that Su Mingyue was gone, there were many more people eager to kick her while she was down.

Just as they were laughing unrestrainedly, someone outside suddenly shouted, "Captain Liu, someone is challenging your team. Prepare to accept the challenge!"

The laughter Tree Hole abruptly stopped. The people looked at each other, and then Liu Dong suddenly burst into laughter. "Hey! I didn't expect there to be someone here who's not afraid of death and dares to challenge me, Liu Dong! Let's go, brothers, let's go out and see what's going on, our fun is about to begin."

Four Advanced War General and Zhang Sicheng followed behind Liu Dong, walking out in a flurry.

Upon arriving near the arena, Liu Dong asked Guang Ge, "Guang Ge, which fool dares to challenge me?"

"Over there, Lin Zhen's team."

"Lin Zhen, didn't his team disband?"

"It's been a month, and we've reorganized. The first challenge will be against you. Get ready, it's about to begin."

Liu Dong, Zhang Sicheng, and the others looked over and saw that Lin Zhen's group had all arrived, a total of five people.

Lin Zhen, Jiang Huai, Lou Qingfeng, Ma Mingxing, Sun Tie.

Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie are both Lin Zhen's roommates. Ma Mingxing is now at the early stage of Level Seven War General, and his strength is quite good. Sun Tie has also reached the late stage of Level Five War General, which is slightly higher than Lin Zhen's early stage of level five.

Liu Dong and the others were stunned when they saw Lin Zhen's new team.

"Captain, I know that guy. His name is Jiang Huai. He's very strong. He almost took down the Third Squad on the right by himself. I didn't expect him to team up with Lin Zhen."

"That skinny guy doesn't seem simple either. He's Level Eight War General, and he also seems to be a Mind Power Master."

"I knew Ma Mingxing before, and he seems to have improved a lot. The only one dragging the team down is Sun Tie."

No one from Liu Dong and his group mentioned writing their names backwards anymore; instead, they focused on assessing each other's strength.

The challenge began shortly afterward, with Lin Zhen's team proposing Team Battle.

Since they hadn't expected anyone to actually challenge them, and since Liu Dong and his group hadn't prepared Planet Crystal, they had no choice but to accept the challenge from Lin Zhen's side.

Both sides took to the stage, and Guang Ge shouted "Start!" and the battle immediately began.

The first person to rush out from Lin Zhen's side was neither Lin Zhen nor Jiang Huai, but Lou Qingfeng, who had just joined the team.

Lou Qingfeng has now come to his senses. He broke through to the War God inside the Star Fruit Tree and will no longer listen to Li Wanfeng's commands after he leaves. Why bother fighting Lin Zhen to the death? It would be better to join forces and conquer the world together.

During this period, he also had very good luck, finding several high-level Star Crystal in succession, advancing from Level Seven War General to level eight, and his Mental Power also improved to the Mid-Stage Golden Realm. He was eager to show off.

After rushing out, he leaped into the Ling Kong, slapped the Round Plate- shaped Sword Casket behind him, and five Long Sword were drawn at the same time, instantly attacking the five opponents!

"Damn! This new guy is so arrogant!"

"Dare to challenge me? We'll take him down first!"

Liu Dong and his group were furious and attacked simultaneously, hoping to defeat Lou Qingfeng in one fell swoop.

However, Lou Qingfeng's Long Sword was definitely not an ordinary item. Under the control of his Mental Power, it shone brightly. With a sudden burst of power, it forced five people to retreat at the same time, and the weapons of two of them were even cut off!

Lin Zhen and Jiang Huai's eyes lit up. They hadn't expected Lou Qingfeng to be so formidable. If there were another assessment, he might be able to reach the top five.

They couldn't just stand by and watch; they leaped forward simultaneously, their target the two warriors whose weapons had been severed.

Having lost their weapons, the two men's morale plummeted, and they were no match for Lin Zhen and his companion's sudden attack. In no time, they were knocked off the stage.

During this process, Lou Qingfeng's Long Sword flew, and he actually withstood the attacks of Liu Dong and the other two Advanced War General, giving Lin Zhen and the other two a chance to perform.

Lin Zhen and Jiang Huai defeated their opponents almost simultaneously, then split up and launched a combined attack, each intercepting and killing a Advanced War General.

With two fewer enemies, Lou Qingfeng's morale soared. His five Long Sword, like dragons, transformed into a rolling Sword River of swords, fiercely attacking Liu Dong.

He had used this move against Lin Zhen before, but Lin Zhen did not Xuan Ze take it head-on. At that time, Lin Zhen knew that this move was not easy to deal with.

As expected, Liu Dong was somewhat flustered in the face of Lou Qingfeng's Sword River, and the shadow of defeat had already loomed over him.

At this moment, Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie saw an opportunity and quietly sneaked behind them, the three of them surrounding and killing Liu Dong.

The battles ended almost simultaneously. Lin Zhen swept his Long Spear and defeated one person, Jiang Huai used his Three Swords in succession to cut another person off the stage, and Liu Dong was the most unfortunate. In order to avoid Lou Qingfeng's Sword River, he was actually hit in the leg by Ma Mingxing and fell to the ground, and then Sun Tie kicked him off the stage.

Sun Tie defeated the enemy once and shouted excitedly.

The battle was over, Guang Ge immediately announced the results: Lin Zhen's team had won the challenge and became the Third Team on the Central Branch.

Liu Dong and the others were all seriously injured, and they left supporting each other.

Zhang Sicheng stood there helplessly. Liu Dong had clearly abandoned him, and once again he had nowhere to go.

At this moment, Lin Zhen stepped down from the arena and walked up to Zhang Sicheng.

"If you want to live, come with me."

Zhang Sicheng Xuan Ze but to obediently follow Lin Zhen out of the Ant Nest area.

"Why did Su Mingyue's senior sister come looking for you? Who are you asking for help with?" Lin Zhen asked bluntly.

Zhang Sicheng dared not lie and quickly revealed everything about how Guang Ge had helped him. Now that he was no longer of any use, Guang Ge would no longer help him, so he had no choice but to compromise with Lin Zhen.

"What's the situation on the Sky Dome side?" Lin Zhen asked again.

Zhang Sicheng thought for a moment, "The Sky Dome is controlled by the senior students. It is the place with the most Star Crystal in the entire Star Fruit Tree. Su Mingyue's senior sister is the second number one there. The number one is named Yue Feng, who comes from the Capital City Base City. He is also known as Little Overlord. He has been in the Star Fruit Tree for five years."

"How strong is Yue Feng?"

"They are very strong. It is said that they have compressed their Dantian Qi a lot. In fact, because the people of the Sky Dome have extracted a lot of Star Crystal, many of them have compressed their Dantian Qi. Even the Beehive has a lot. Only the Ant Nest has the fewest Star Crystal, so it is rare to see a martial artist who has compressed their dantian qi."

"You mean compressing the Dantian Qi?" Lin Zhen was somewhat surprised.

Zhang Sicheng said, "That's right. When Level Nine War General's Dantian Qi reaches its peak and can no longer increase, they can advance to the level of War God. However, at this time, consuming or absorbing certain external substances can compress the Dantian Qi. Within this Star Fruit Tree, the only external substance is Star Crystal, and only Star Crystal are useful. The purpose of us Level Nine War General here, besides hoping to find a Star Crystal containing special energy, is to obtain more ordinary Star Crystal to compress our Dantian Qi."

"The compressed Dantian Qi should make him very powerful in combat," Lin Zhen replied.

"That's right. It's said that the Dantian Qi can be compressed up to ten times, and the combat power can be increased by up to ten times. But that's just a legend. I've never seen anyone compress their Dantian Qi ten times. It seems that only Guang Ge and a few people in the First Team have compressed it."

Zhang Sicheng continued, "The martial artists inside the Star Fruit Tree all leave before the age of thirty. This is because if they cannot advance to the War God level by the age of thirty, their bodies will begin to decline, and their Dantian Qi will start to dissipate. Therefore, we all leave after advancing to the War God level before the age of thirty. I estimate that Su Mingyue's senior sister will take her with her, and her senior sister is already twenty-five or twenty-six years old. If you want to save Su Mingyue, you don't have much time left."
