Thirty Billion

The door was closed gently, but it still made a sound.

The darkness couldn't block Lin Zhen's vision; he clearly saw Guang Ge sit up in bed and hiss, "Who's there?"

Lin Zhen raised his hand and lit the oil lamp in Guang Ge's Tree Hole, then slowly sat down in Guang Ge's chair.

"It's me."

"Lin Zhen!" Guang Ge exclaimed in surprise, then asked, "What are you doing here again?"

"Let's settle this score from two years ago. Don't tell me you don't know. Playing dumb with me won't work. Zhang Sicheng has already told me everything."

Hearing this, Guang Ge sneered, "Lin Zhen, you really did come. I knew you wouldn't swallow this bitter pill so easily. It's a wonder you were able to endure it for two years. I should have dealt with you back then. But you're too naive. Back then, Zhang Sicheng and I only had a transaction, nothing else involved. We have no grudges between us. Can't you even let this go?"

Lin Zhen strode towards Guang Ge: "Now that I'm here, doesn't that represent my stance? Tell me everything about the Sky Dome and the Beehive."

Although Lin Zhen's attitude was resolute, Guang Ge was not afraid. Sitting there, he said to Lin Zhen, "Wasn't I clear enough to you during the day? I am a member of Sky Dome. Everything I do here is being watched, and I have also reported the situation here. If something happens to me, the prime suspect will be you, Lin Zhen. Do you dare let anything happen to me?"

"So what if something happened?" Lin Zhen asked.

"That would be bad! Your little girlfriend might be in trouble then." Guang Ge thought he had Lin Zhen's Achilles' heel.

Lin Zhen sneered, "If something happens to you, my girlfriend will suffer? I don't really believe that."

"Then you can give it a try," Guang Ge said, forcing himself to speak. He was starting to worry; Lin Zhen seemed determined to take a risk.

Lin Zhen moved a little closer. "I already told you during the day, how many good things have you plundered in the Ant Nest all these years? Where are they? Hand them over and I'll spare your life."

"You're dreaming! Do you think you're invincible just because you're at the Level Nine Peak? Don't you know how to compress your Dantian Qi? I'm already a master of Dantian Qi compression at level three, the best in the entire Ant Nest. What makes you think you can challenge me?!"

"That's all I'm talking about!"

Lin Zhen suddenly erupted, his long hair flying wildly, golden light flashing in his eyes, with a faint trace of Dark Gold flowing within them, and a swift Mental Impact rushed straight into Guang Ge's mind!

"Soul Lock!"

Before Guang Ge could even make a move, he felt a tearing pain in his brain, and an unstoppable force rushed straight to his soul!

"Ouch! You're almost at the Dark Gold level! What is this?! That hurts!"

Guang Ge clutched his head with both hands, rolling and howling in pain on the ground, making a mess of the room.

He desperately tried to expel the pain that penetrated his soul, but how could Lin Zhen give him such an opportunity? Dark Gold-level Mental Power surged out and directly locked onto his soul.

"Hiss! What is this?! Ah! I'm in trouble! The Sky Dome Will not let you get away with this! Stop it! I'll give you money, all my money!"

"It's no use. I already reserved your money. You dared to plot against Ming Yue; you deserve to die!"

"No! I can't die! You'll be in trouble if I die!"

"I didn't tell you to die. Just live as if you were dead!"

As Lin Zhen spoke, his Mental Power increased further, and he finally broke through Guang Ge's mental resistance!

For a full five minutes, Lin Zhen was covered in sweat, but after five minutes, Guang Ge stopped struggling.

"Phew! That was tough. This is my first time using Soul Lock, and my technique is still a bit immature. If I could practice a couple more times, it wouldn't be so difficult. Luckily, I didn't act impulsively this morning, or things would have been much more complicated."

Lin Zhen sat down again, looking at Guang Ge lying on the ground, "Get up, just answer whatever I ask."

Guang Ge got up from the ground, looked at Lin Zhen, and then respectfully lowered his head.

His own mental state remained unchanged, but he would answer whatever Lin Zhen asked without reservation.

Because his soul already bears Lin Zhen's spiritual imprint, as long as Lin Zhen doesn't remove it, he will be a puppet for life and will never have the slightest thought of resisting Lin Zhen.

"After being taken to the Sky Dome, Saintess Su was once in despair and even tried to escape many times, but was caught and brought back by her senior sister. It wasn't until later that Little Overlord took a liking to her that Saintess Su had no choice but to rely on her senior sister to survive."

"Little Overlord is very strong. It is said that he has compressed his Dantian Qi eight times. There are many War General in the Sky Dome who can compress their Dantian Qi."

"I heard she works very hard in the Sky Dome and always manages to obtain Star Crystal. She started compressing her Dantian Qi more than a year ago, and her strength has improved considerably."

"Lin Zhen, you need to hurry. As far as I know, it seems that Little Overlord Yue Feng is going to marry Su Mingyue. Right now, it's Su Mingyue's sister who's stopping him from making a move. But Su Mingyue's senior sister can't stay in the Star Fruit Tree for long. It might not even be a year. After that, no one will be able to stop Yue Feng."

Guang Ge spoke, Lin Zhen listened, feeling a sharp pain in his heart. His longing for Su Mingyue had never stopped over the past two years, but he had never shown it to anyone.

"Hand over your property," Lin Zhen ordered again.

Guang Ge obediently handed a Space Ring to Lin Zhen. Originally, he also used Marching Stone, but in the past two years, many students have been wearing Space Ring. He had been scavenging in the Ant Nest, so he naturally got one as well.

Lin Zhen opened the ring and looked at it, and was immediately overjoyed.

There were many bank cards inside, and Guang Ge had even written down the passwords for each one. These things were given to him by other martial artists, and he originally intended to use them after he got out, but now they had fallen into Lin Zhen's hands.

Lin Zhen is currently short of cash. When he asked Guang Ge, Guang Ge said that there are about 30 billion in cash in these bank cards. The Advanced War General can come to the God General Training Camp are all very rich, and Guang Ge has also made a lot of money.

Especially Zhang Sicheng, whose total wealth alone exceeds 20 billion. It can be said that most of the things here belong to him. In the end, they fell into Lin Zhen's hands, which can be considered retribution.

Besides bank cards, there are many other items, such as weapons, combat suits, and even Dark Energy Stone, with a total value exceeding five billion.

A full hour later, Lin Zhen finally left Guang Ge's room.

Guang Ge still looked no different from a normal person, and his actions were as usual. Except for Mind Power Master of the Dark Gold-level or above who could detect the abnormality through careful exploration, no one could see any clues.

Lin Zhen got everything he wanted to know and explained everything. Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie could continue to stay in the Ant Nest and enjoy the Star Crystal that Guang Ge collected every day.

This guy absorbed all the Star Crystal himself, but even so, his progress in cultivation was not fast because he never went to the edge of life and death to train, so his strength was not strong, which is why Lin Zhen was able to easily get his hands on him.

Lin Zhen was very satisfied with the operation. According to Guang Ge's instructions, the total value of these items exceeded 30 billion. With Lin Zhen's 10 billion, he had basically raised enough money to buy Vitality Potion for his parents.

Having settled things with Guang Ge, Lin Zhen left the Ant Nest once again.

In the darkness, Lin Zhen walked slowly, even stopping in one place for two days to consolidate his newly advanced Mental Power.

On the third day, Lin Zhen returned to the Tree Hole where Li Changying was.

After three days of rest, Li Changying's injuries had completely healed; they were all superficial wounds and nothing serious to him.

He waited anxiously, but dared not leave rashly. Only when he saw Lin Zhen arrive did he breathe a long sigh of relief, "Lin Zhen, you've finally come. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone to the Ant Nest to look for you."

"Something came up and delayed you along the way, which gave you a good chance to recover. What I need for this trip to the Beehive is a healthy Northwest God of the Army Level."

Li Changying patted his chest, "I'm definitely fine. Now that I'm with you, and Jiang Huai and the others come over in a couple of days, I'll make those arrogant bastards from the Beehive pay the price!"

"And then?" Lin Zhen asked.

Li Changying was immediately taken aback. "What, and then?"

"What happened after you dealt with those people?"

Li Changying thought for a moment, "Isn't that just cultivation, compressing the Dantian Qi, and then advancing to the level of War God to leave this place?"

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "The martial artists inside the Star Fruit Tree probably all feel that the Star Crystal being taken from them are unreasonable."

"Of course, as far as I know, whether it's the Beehive or the Ant Nest, there are people collecting Star Crystal. These people are actually from the Sky Dome. The entire Star Fruit Tree is controlled by them, and no one can resist them."

Lin Zhen turned to look into Li Changying's eyes. "Since everyone thinks it's not good, why don't we overthrow the rule of the Sky Dome and bring the warriors within the Star Fruit Tree back to a level playing field? What do you think?"

Upon hearing Lin Zhen's earth-shattering remarks, Li Changying opened and closed her mouth a few times, but couldn't utter a single word.

He dared to compete with someone in the Beehive because he was oppressed so much that he had no choice but to fight back. He never even thought about truly overthrowing the Beehive's rule, and he thought it was impossible for him to do so.

But Lin Zhen is now telling him that he wants to overthrow the Sky Dome. Even though Li Changying is known as the Northwest God of the Army Level, he is so shocked that he can't speak. That is the Sky Dome, a place that has ruled the Star Fruit Tree for hundreds of years. There are countless martial artists who can compress their Dantian Qi in it. How can it be overthrown?

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "If the Northwest God of the Army Level doesn't dare, then we'll part ways. I can do this on my own."

After saying that, Lin Zhen turned and left. As he emerged from the Tree Hole, a gust of wind blew, causing his clothes to flutter, giving him a tragic air of lost ambition.

Li Changying blushed, feeling the blood rush to his head, and blurted out uncontrollably, "Good! Lin Zhen, your boldness is ashamed of Li Changying, but I admire you to death. From now on, you are my idol, and I'll follow you!"
