National Idol (Fifth Extra Chapter)

The interior of Star Crystal contains extremely powerful energy. Ordinary martial artists need to prepare well before they can absorb it, adjusting their state to the best. After absorption, they also need to digest it for a period of time before their Dantian can truly contain it.

But Lin Zhen doesn't need that. He has Dark Star in his body, and his Dantian is stronger than that of ordinary people. Even if he can't absorb it all at once, it can settle in the Dark Star and slowly evaporate.

The energy of at least three Star Crystal is not enough to truly stump Lin Zhen.

An hour later, all three Star Crystal disappeared, and all the energy entered Lin Zhen's Dantian.

The Dantian Qi swells and then calms down, then swells and calms down again, repeating this several times until it finally calms down.

"According to others, compressing the Dantian Qi is easy at the beginning but difficult later. For the first level of compression, ten Star Crystal are enough, the second level requires thirty, the third level requires fifty, the fourth level requires eighty, and the fifth level requires one hundred. I have already absorbed four Star Crystal, and my Dantian Qi is currently compressed to almost half of the first level. With just six more, I can complete the first level of compression."

"Moreover, I have Dark Star within me, and my Dantian Qi is different from others. Unless I actively reveal it, it is difficult for others to discover my specific cultivation level, so I can absorb it with peace of mind."

"It is said that to compress ten layers of Dantian Qi, not only does a martial artist need to have good talent, but also a thousand Star Crystal. That is simply unimaginable. No one even knows if it is true or not, but I want to try it."

After absorbing the energy, Lin Zhen stood up and felt that his Dantian was indeed much stronger. He was invigorated and stepped on the shield again, arriving at the east side of the mound.

Since there was no one around at night, Lin Zhen could pick the fruit without worry.

The area to the east of this mound is slightly larger, so it was occupied by Zhou Butong's team, and no one else was allowed to touch it.

Looking at the mound, there were eight Star Crystal twinkling on it, five of which were Star Crystal.

"Let's collect four this time, and as usual, leave one for them."

Lin Zhen went into battle again, but because he was focused on escaping, he didn't kill Bee, lest there be too many dead Bee and they would be discovered the next day.

Under such circumstances, with no other martial artists vying for his attention, a fierce battle was unlikely to occur. Lin Zhen, protected by a Mental Power shield and Liquid Metal, was also not in great danger. After a thrilling but ultimately safe journey, Lin Zhen returned with a full load once again.

"Four! Hahaha! In just one night, I obtained seven Star Crystal. At this rate, compression will no longer be a problem."

Lin Zhen returned to the Leaf and began absorbing the newly picked Star Crystal.

This time it took almost two more hours for Lin Zhen to finish absorbing it.

He had already absorbed eight Star Crystal, and was only two away from completing the first compression.

Looking at the mound of earth, another Star Crystal appeared to the west, but this time Lin Zhen didn't touch it; removing too many at once would be too conspicuous.

He stepped back into the Tree Hole hollow on his shield. When he returned, Li Changying had already gotten up and was meditating.

"Idol, where have you been?" Li Changying would sometimes call Lin Zhen his idol.

"It's nothing, I'm just going out to cultivate for a while."

Li Changying didn't ask any more questions and continued cultivating. Cultivation is a very common thing for martial artists, but it is also the most time-consuming thing.

Lin Zhen also meditated for a while, allowing the newly injected energy in his Dantian Qi to calm down and completely transform into his own power.

By the time they had all finished their cultivation, it was already dawn, and the martial artists emerged from the Tree Hole.

"Ah! Another beautiful day has begun!"

"I must work hard today to obtain one Star Crystal. With five more, I can compress it three times!"

"You're alright, I'm still eighteen units away from doubling my compression."

"Hehe, that's fine too. At least there's something to look forward to. I want to achieve five times compression, but five times compression requires one hundred Star Crystal. I don't think I have any hope of achieving that this year."

"You're just showing off. I don't know when I'll reach your level. I'm already twenty-seven or twenty-nine years old. When I reach twenty-nine, no matter what level I reach, I'll have to break through to the War God and then leave the Star Fruit Tree. I haven't been home for many years. If I don't go back soon, my family won't recognize me."

"What's there to think about about home? What I want to know most right now is where my limits are. I wonder if I have the talent to complete the five-fold compression. If I do, and break through to the War God after I get out, I'll be a top expert."

"That's right. These days, which real expert isn't from the God General Training Camp? Anyone who can't compress their Dantian Qi is a noob."

"That's not quite right. I heard that the Ministry of Science and Technology has had drugs for Dantian compression for a long time, but they are ridiculously expensive, and poor people like you and me can't afford them."

"I know, but drug compression and Star Crystal compression are not the same. Those are inferior products with limited potential. Ours is all-natural. Only the compression warriors of the God General Training Camp are the true masters."

"Okay, Li Changying and the others are here. Let's go get something to eat and then set off."

Several martial artists who were chatting saw Li Changying, Lin Zhen Zhao Xiaoman and all Xuan Ze to leave.

Of this trio, Lin Zhen was an outsider, and because of Li Changying's matter, he had offended many people, so naturally no one wanted to be friendly to Lin Zhen.

Zhao Xiaoman was from the Third Team in the west, but she was kicked out. Lin Zhen took her in, which naturally offended another group of people. The West Third Team was still very powerful, and no one wanted to offend them.

Needless to say, Li Changying was someone Boss Zhou had secretly told him he wanted to deal with, and anyone who got close to him was doomed.

Besides, there were only three of them, which was not enough for a group and did not meet the challenge rules, so these martial artists did not take them seriously.

They ignored everyone else, but Lin Zhen and his friends didn't care. Since they had nothing else to do, the three of them strolled along with the crowd towards the Beehive.

The rules here at the Beehive have been in place for hundreds of years: no one is allowed to go to the Beehive to collect Star Crystal before six o'clock in the morning, even if a mutated Star Crystal is born.

Previously, many martial artists couldn't resist the temptation to pick up Star Crystal, but they were immediately killed by the rest of the martial artists. Rules are rules, and they cannot be easily broken. Even those in charge cannot openly break them.

As for nighttime visits, it's not that no one has ever sneaked in, but since you can't see anything at night, almost everyone who comes is killed. Over time, no one would even bother with nighttime visits anymore.

Lin Zhen and his group went west, including several members of the Third Team. Upon seeing Zhao Xiaoman still there, Human Path, "Zhao Xiaoman, you've already been expelled. Don't cling to us like that. There's no place for you here today."

"Tch! Who do you think you are? I came here with Big Brother Lin today. Even if you invite me back later, I won't go back."

"Dream on, would we really invite you? Who's Big Brother Lin? Is he this disheveled kid?"

Lin Zhen was busy until late yesterday and didn't pay much attention to the dust covering her face. Today, her appearance was a little unsightly, and she was immediately looked down upon.

"Kid, if you dare to take Zhao Xiaoman in, you're going against our West Third Team. You'll definitely regret your decision today."

"That's not necessarily true. Xiaoman is smart, beautiful, and strong. You lot were blind to kick her out. I think you're the ones who will regret it."

Seeing that Lin Zhen didn't care about them at all, the group of people were a little angry, but they were about to start picking the fruit, so it wasn't the time to get angry.

He pointed at Lin Zhen threateningly. "Kid! You've got guts! We'll see about that."

As he spoke, Captain Wang said to Zhao Xiaoman, "Zhao Xiaoman, let me show you how many Star Crystal we can harvest today, but you won't get a single one!"

Lin Zhen immediately chimed in, "I bet you got nothing today."

"Haha, you ignorant thing, what do you know? The weather was great yesterday, sunny, the Bee worked hard to collect nectar, and there must have been a lot of honey dripping. There are at least five Star Crystal on that mound today, our Third Team will definitely have a great start."

"That's not necessarily true. I'm very accurate with my words. I'm cursing you right now, cursing you to get nothing today." Lin Zhen muttered a few strange notes, which sounded quite convincing.

"Let's go, Captain. Don't pay any attention to this lunatic. He'll see how stupid he is in a minute."

The group looked at Lin Zhen and his companions with disdain before striding toward the mound of earth.

At this moment, Zhao Xiaoman tugged at Lin Zhen's sleeve. Lin Zhen turned around and saw that Zhao Xiaoman's eyes were a little red.

"What's wrong, Xiaoman?"

"Big Brother Lin, thank you for your help. I'm very grateful."

"It's nothing, don't worry about it."

"Yes, I know you're a good older brother." Zhao Xiaoman nodded gratefully.

Lin Zhen touched his face, thinking that he must not forget to wash his face tomorrow morning. He seemed to be younger than Zhao Xiaoman Brother". Although she looked young, he was not old at all.

"But Big Brother Lin, you don't need to fight them head-on. They should have a good harvest today. These people can easily get one Star Crystal a day, so they should be able to get two Star Crystal today."

"Hehe, that's not necessarily true. I've already cursed them. They have no chance," Lin Zhen said with a laugh.

Li Changying spoke up at this moment, "If your curse really works, then you will truly become my idol. I have practiced martial arts for so many years, and this is the first time I have ever heard of a curse being useful."

"Let's take a look then." Lin Zhen didn't say anything more, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.

Just then, a surprised voice suddenly came from ahead. "Damn! There are so few Star Crystal today, only two! This isn't right!"

"What's right or wrong? It's normal for there to be fewer. It's six o'clock, let's grab them!"

All the teams rushed towards the mound of earth. After a chaotic scene, the first Second Team each obtained a Star Crystal, while the fourth and Fifth Group, with lower goals, both obtained Planet Crystal.

The Third Team, however, did not covet Planet Crystal but wanted to compete for Star Crystal. They were outcompeted by the first two groups and returned empty-handed.

Li Changying stiffly turned her head, looking at Lin Zhen in disbelief.

Zhao Xiaoman jumped up excitedly and hugged Lin Zhen, "Big Brother Lin, from now on you're my idol too!"

Today, I'm adding a fourth chapter as Alliance Leader, especially for the book's Alliance Leader, who is also my biggest creditor (Tian Hao Yu).
