Special Star Crystal Acquired! (Fifth Update)

Upon seeing Lin Zhen, many of the new students around him quickly made way for him.

A group of newcomers who hadn't seen Lin Zhen before saw Lin Zhen approaching. One of the Level Nine War General staggered and bumped head-on with Lin Zhen.

"A good dog doesn't block the way, get out of the way!" The Level Nine War General glanced at Lin Zhen and said nonchalantly.

He had barely finished speaking when someone immediately came over and pulled him away, "Zhang Hao, hurry up and leave, don't be rude to him."

"Tch! What can he do? He doesn't even look as old as me. Aren't we all Level Nine War General? Why should I give way to him?"

Zhang Hao arrogantly pointed at Lin Zhen and said, "Kid, where are you from? We didn't see you when we came to Star Fruit Tree. Are you from the previous year? My name is Zhang Hao, from Southern Base City. You'd better get out of my way, or I won't be polite."

Lin Zhen's expression remained calm and expressionless. "I was two years ahead of you."

"Two terms. So what if it's two terms? When I was in the South, I even defeated the War God. In the next few days, we're going to challenge the Third Team on the right. If you offend me, you'll regret it."

At this moment, the person holding him was extremely anxious and tugged hard at his sleeve, "Please don't say anything, he is Lin Zhen."

"Lin Zhen. What is Lin Zhen doing?! Lin Zhen!" Zhang Hao was dumbfounded.

"You are the biggest, biggest, Great Demon King."

"That's what you call them, and there aren't that many big words." Lin Zhen's eyes flashed with gold as he glanced at him before getting up and leaving.

After Lin Zhen left, the people around Zhang Hao breathed a sigh of relief, "Zhang Hao, you really have a death wish. You dare to offend the Great Demon King. It's a miracle he didn't kill you on the spot."

"Hey! Why are your pants wet?"

Zhang Hao's legs went weak. "Hurry up and help me back, I can't walk anymore. The look he gave me was terrifying. I felt like I died once. Block me a bit, I wet my pants."

Lin Zhen walked all the way to the entrance of the Ant Nest and saw Guang Ge sitting quietly in the same old spot.

For the past two years, Lin Zhen had stayed inside the Ant Nest, going to the Central Branch when picking sunflower seeds, and staying in the Tree Hole when not picking sunflower seeds. He had never left. So when Lin Zhen reached the entrance of the Ant Nest, Guang Ge was very surprised and even asked, "Lin Zhen, where are you going?"

Lin Zhen glanced at Guang Ge, "Just taking a walk."

"Oh." Guang Ge nodded. Since the Ant Nest didn't prohibit people from leaving, he didn't ask any further questions.

But Lin Zhen stopped when she reached his side and suddenly asked, "Guang Ge, what happened to Ming Yue two years ago?"

Guang Ge paused for a moment, then his face darkened. "I don't know."

"Oh, it seems Guang Ge's memory isn't very good; he's forgotten things from such a short time ago."

"Lin Zhen, are you out of your mind? Do you know who you're talking to?" Guang Ge was getting angry. He had been in the Ant Nest for so long, and no one had ever dared to challenge his dominance. Even those who had the guts to do so were now all dead.

However, Lin Zhen was not afraid of his threat at all. Instead, he moved slightly closer to him and said, "Guang Ge, I'm a little short on money lately. You've amassed so much wealth from the people over the years, could you lend me some to tide me over?"

"Lin Zhen, I'm in charge here. If something happens to me, the people from Sky Dome will investigate, and they'll definitely find you. So I can't afford to be in trouble, do you understand? Su Mingyue is still in Sky Dome." Guang Ge wasn't afraid of his threat.

Lin Zhen laughed and said, "I was just kidding. Why are you so nervous? I'm leaving now, don't bother seeing me out."

After watching Lin Zhen's figure disappear, Guang Ge said with lingering fear, "I'll send someone to find people from Sky Dome to protect me tomorrow. Lin Zhen is too dangerous."

********

After leaving the Ant Nest, Lin Zhen once again walked within the vast world of the Star Fruit Tree.

"Phew! It's been so long since I've been out here. Nothing seems to have changed, except that the branches of the trees seem a bit wider."

He didn't immediately attack Guang Ge, even though Guang Ge was compressed three times, Lin Zhen was still confident of winning.

However, since Su Mingyue's safety is at stake, he still needs to be careful. He needs to go out and check something. If he's lucky, his strength might improve, and then he might have a foolproof plan.

Lin Zhen followed the tree branches and began to walk downwards.

His goal is Tree Heart Lake.

He learned from Fu Haisheng that there was a Special Star Crystal at Tree Heart Lake, and it should be ripe by now.

Since entering the Star Fruit Tree, Lin Zhen has never consumed Star Crystal. After absorbing the Planet Crystal this morning, Lin Zhen did not feel any increase in his Dantian Qi, so he knew that his Dantian Qi reserves had basically reached their peak.

Further cultivation involves compressing the Dantian Qi. At this point, Planet Crystal are no longer useful; only Star Crystal will work.

The first compression and the first Star Crystal consumed should be as mature as possible. According to Fu Haisheng's description, the Star Crystal in Tree Heart Lake are almost mature, and Lin Zhen has long planned to harvest them.

Flying swiftly along the tree branches, Lin Zhen finally saw Tree Heart Lake in the afternoon.

Looking at the bright, silvery-white expanse of water, Lin Zhen felt much better and quickened her pace, arriving near Tree Heart Lake.

The Tree Heart Lake, but there are also some dark shadows floating on it.

It is an amphibious insect, also known as the Sea-Land-Air" insect. It can crawl on the ground, fly in the sky, but spends most of its time floating on the water.

Arriving at the lakeside, Lin Zhen gazed into the distance.

As far as the eye could see, Lin Zhen did indeed see what appeared to be a protruding tree trunk in the center of the lake. If one did not look closely, one might mistake it for a creature that could be seen in the sea, land, Sea-Land-Air.

Lin Zhen took out his shield, placed it under his feet, and then slowly rose into the air.

Whoosh!

A streak of light flashed through the air as Lin Zhen headed straight for the center of the lake.

As soon as Lin Zhen moved, the black dots on the lake surface rose into the air and rushed towards Lin Zhen.

The size of these Sea-Land-Air— is far, far greater than that of ants. Each one is several times larger than a tank, and when they fly, they create a Gale, attacking from all directions.

"Come on, you beasts!"

Lin Zhen drew his Bright Silver Spear once more, like a General across the battlefield, his Long Spear flashing up and down, wreaking havoc in the air.

Black blood splattered everywhere, and corpses from Sea-Land-Air fell into the lake. But more corpses from land, Sea-Land-Air, and air took to the air and surrounded Lin Zhen, looking like a dark cloud from a distance.

Squeak!

The massive fangs of the Sea-Land-Air, and air creature bit into Lin Zhen's gun barrel. Lin Zhen stood on one leg with the shield, kicked it away with one leg, and spread his hand, countless Golden Light Rays enveloping a ten-meter radius in front of him.

However, the Golden Light Rays that Unstoppable against ants were not so effective now. The size of the Sea-Land-Air was too large, and these needle-like wounds were not fatal. Only those Sea-Land-Air hit by multiple rays would fall.

However, Lin Zhen was not afraid. He had tens of thousands of Golden Light Rays, and with continuous regeneration, he could unleash tens of thousands of them in a single battle.

He transformed the Liquid Metal into a thin, golden Half-Body Armor, and the Bright Silver Spear turned into a golden spear. He swung it around in the air with impenetrable force. Despite the large number of ships, land, Sea-Land-Air, Lin Zhen was still struggling to advance towards the center of the lake.

"We're almost there!"

As the withered branch that had emerged from the water gradually revealed its true form, Lin Zhen could already see the flash of the Star Crystal.

After spending two years in the Ant Nest, Lin Zhen could identify what kind of Star Crystal it was with just a casual glance.

The Star Core is faintly lit, Meteor Crystal are slender and elongated, and Comet Crystal are similar, only brighter.

Satellite Crystal emit a relatively stable, dim light, while Planet Crystal also have a dim light, but they are easily identifiable by the ring around their outer edge.

Only the Star Crystal is the most eye-catching. The light of this Star Crystal is hot and bright, and it is even slightly hot to the touch, which is a manifestation of the surging energy within.

The one in Tree Heart Lake is Star Crystal, but Lin Zhen almost mistook it for a real one at first glance.

Because although this Star Crystal was emitting light, its light was somewhat dim, unlike the bright light of ordinary Star Crystal, he almost mistook it for Satellite Crystal at first glance.

"No matter what, let's get our hands on it first. It's different from ordinary Star Crystal, which further proves that it's a treasure."

Lin Zhen wielded his Bright Silver Spear incessantly, shooting out Golden Light Rays of light with abandon, eliminating enemies on Sea-Land-Air almost every second.

As he approached the center of Tree Heart Lake, Lin Zhen suddenly unleashed a torrent of Gale Spear Brilliance, carving a path through the dense swarm of Sea-Land-Air Insect Swarm. Then, he abruptly activated his Mental Power, causing his body to radiate a brilliant golden light, and he burst out of the encirclement.

With a flick of his wrist, the Liquid Metal transformed into a curved blade, swiftly slicing off the emerging Star Crystal along with the bark and part of the trunk.

The Star Crystal emitted a strange fragrance in the air, and a Dark Gold light dazzled Lin Zhen's eyes.

Lin Zhen's Mental Power, which had been somewhat depleted due to overexertion, seemed to have been replenished at this moment, which made his eyes light up.

"This Star Crystal seems to be something special!"

However, there was no time to check right now. With a wave of his hand, Lin Zhen put the Star Crystal and tree bark into his Space Ring.

"Gotcha! Goodbye, bugs!"

Lin Zhen increased his flying speed, but after cutting off the Star Crystal, the surrounding Insect Swarm became even denser. Countless insects rose into the air from the water's surface, surrounding and attacking from all directions.

Although Lin Zhen's combat power was already very strong at this moment, he still did not want to fight a large group of insects. Insects win by sheer numbers, and he did not want to waste his strength on this.

Wielding his gun with both hands, Lin Zhen charged forward like a knight, unleashing Gale Spear Brilliance as he rushed straight to the shore of Tree Heart Lake.
