Lin Zhen was well aware of people's mentality, and even his teammates' mentality.

Being the captain of these exceptional individuals is no easy task. If you can't outperform the others, you won't gain their respect.

These three guys defeated their opponents in one move, partly to show off their skills, though mostly in jest. They genuinely believed in Lin Zhen's abilities.

But Lin Zhen couldn't lose. A captain is a captain; it would be terrible if he lost to his teammates.

He slowly walked onto the stage, where the opposing team's captain was already waiting.

The man glared at Lin Zhen, his eyes filled with hatred, and said, "Kid, I have to admire your good luck in managing to gather such a powerful group of team members. You're nothing but a dog relying on its master's power, using someone else's name as a shield. In terms of strength, you're probably at the bottom of that team, aren't you?"

Lin Zhen said calmly, "Why are you talking nonsense? You've already lost."

"Losing now doesn't mean losing in the future. I can regroup my team and make a comeback. Just wait for me to challenge you. But you'd better hold onto your position. A captain without ability will be kicked off sooner or later. Don't let me come back and find that the captain has changed."

"You don't need to worry about that. You should worry about yourself. Do you really think you've got this in the bag?"

"Of course, one move will be enough to take you down. Draw your weapon!"

As he spoke, the captain took out a halberd and struck two poses. "I'll show you that our Fifth Team is not just a name without substance."

Lin Zhen simply put his hands behind his back. "I don't need weapons to deal with you. Go ahead and do it!"

"Hahaha! How arrogant! I've never met anyone who could defeat me without weapons. Since you've chosen to die, I have no reason not to grant your wish. Pay the price for your arrogance!"

The captain brandished his halberd, creating glints of cold light. He stomped his toes on the ground, causing the wood on the arena to crack like a spiderweb. He leaped up like an eagle swooping down on a rabbit, charging towards Lin Zhen from Ling Kong!

An expert can tell from birth whether someone is good or bad. Just by looking at this move and the momentum, the audience immediately fell silent.

The expressions of Lin Zhen's team members also turned serious.

Zhao Xiaoman thought to herself, "If I run into this person, I'm doomed to lose."

Lou Qingfeng was surprised. "If I had met him, my chances of winning would have been slim. Luckily I didn't, or I might have been humiliated."

Jiang Huai gripped his sword slightly. "This man is worthy of a fight, but he is still no match for me. Even if Lin Zhen were to deal with him, it would be impossible for him to finish the battle in one move."

Li Changying narrowed his eyes slightly and gripped the Iron Cavalry Spear tightly in his hand.

The others watched intently, but they all believed that Lin Zhen couldn't withstand it, since he hadn't even compressed his first level of Dantian Qi.

Everyone was watching to see when Lin Zhen would make his move, how he would make his move, what weapon he would use to defend himself, and how he would deal with the opponent's subsequent changes. After all, this halberd strike was incredibly powerful and unpredictable, making it truly difficult to block.

But to everyone's astonishment, Lin Zhen remained standing there, without moving an inch.

The distance between the two was closing, and the cold glint of the halberd was almost piercing Lin Zhen's skin, but Lin Zhen still did not move.

"Big Brother Lin, what are you doing?" Zhao Xiaoman was the first to shout out. She truly respected the older brother who had rescued her in her time of crisis, feeling as if he were family. Seeing that Lin Zhen was not moving, she couldn't help but want to go on stage to help him.

"What is Lin Zhen up to?" Lou Qingfeng asked, puzzled.

Jiang Huai and Li Changying frowned slightly; if they didn't dodge soon, it would be too late.

The same was true for others; some even secretly covered their eyes, not wanting to see the bloody scene on the ring.

Seeing that Lin Zhen didn't move, the captain was puzzled, but he also had murderous intent in his heart. He thought to himself, "You asked for death, so don't blame me. I'll kill you in one go, and no one can say anything. After all, swords have no eyes. Who can you blame for not dodging?"

With increased force, thousands of halberd shadows converged and aimed directly at Lin Zhen's mouth!

His body was drawn into the shape of a bow in the air. He had no more reservations and was determined to kill Lin Zhen in one blow!

People forgot to breathe, their mouths agape as they watched the scene unfold on the stage.

At that moment, Lin Zhen made a move!

His body didn't move, nor did his hands or feet; he remained standing there with his hands behind his back. The only thing that moved was his eyebrows.

He raised an eyebrow and opened his eyes slightly!

Don't underestimate such a simple action; Lin Zhen has already launched two attacks.

The first move was his Mental Impact. The moment the opponent got close, Lin Zhen's Mental Impact was suddenly released and hit his mind directly!

This move was Lin Zhen's specialty. At this moment, the opponent was highly focused and trying to prevent the changes in Lin Zhen's body, but he could not prevent the Mental Impact and was hit by Lin Zhen's attack!

In an instant, the captain's mind went blank, his mouth gaped open, and Lin Zhen's figure blurred before his eyes. He couldn't even pinpoint Lin Zhen's exact location.

He tried to shout, but nothing came out, because the second thing happened.

Lin Zhen unleashed his second move in quick succession: Gravity!

Gravity exists on Lin Zhen's Dark Star and within Dantian lower abdomen. Sometimes it's more convenient for Lin Zhen to use his hands to exert Gravity, but in fact, if he wanted, Gravity could be everywhere.

The reason why Dantian doesn't usually use her lower abdomen is because Gravity often attracts a lot of things, and if dust and dirt fall on her clothes, they will get very dirty. That's why Lin Zhen always uses her hands.

This time he didn't use his hands; he simply exerted a slight Gravity, drawing the opponent's halberd slightly to the left, causing it to deviate from its original trajectory.

There's a saying that goes, "A miss is as good as a mile." If the tip of the halberd is off-center, it won't be able to pierce Lin Zhen. If it can't pierce him in front, it's even less likely to hit him from behind.

The captain swooped down from mid-air with great momentum, resulting in a scene that shocked everyone.

As he approached Lin Zhen, he remained in that position with his mouth wide open, but the sharp edge of the halberd just brushed past Lin Zhen.

Then the shaft of the halberd swept past Lin Zhen, followed by his men.

The two passed each other almost shoulder to shoulder, and the captain's lunge didn't even touch a hair on Lin Zhen.

If he were still conscious, he might have been able to retract his halberd and retaliate, but after being struck by the Mental Impact, his thinking had come to a standstill.

Undeterred by his momentum, the captain maintained his charging stance, wielding his halberd, and charged straight down from the arena!

"Puff!"

The halberd slammed heavily into the ground. His strength was indeed considerable; the ground was made of hard wood, yet the halberd was driven a full meter deep into it!

Then, his body crashed heavily into the tail of the halberd!

The halberd also had a pointed end that pierced directly into his abdomen!

Blood spurted out instantly as his body was pierced by the halberd, and he crashed heavily to the ground!

"Ah!"

Only then, when excruciating pain shot through his brain and body simultaneously, did the captain finally scream out in agony, howling loudly in agony.

This scene stunned everyone.

Although Lin Zhen used Mental Impact and Gravity, to everyone's eyes, he didn't move a finger from beginning to end. That stupid captain himself held the halberd, launched a powerful attack, and then plunged headfirst off the stage, the halberd pinning him to the ground.

Others finish the fight in one move, but Lin Zhen doesn't need to use a single move; he knocks them out directly!

"What's going on? Has the captain of West Fifth Team gone mad? Why did he just crash into it?"

"My God! What am I seeing? This is completely shattering my understanding. Is this even within the realm of martial arts?"

"This is terrifying! This must be witchcraft, it has to be witchcraft! I heard that the captain cursed the West Third Team this morning, saying they would get nothing, and they still haven't gotten anything!"

Lin Zhen turned around calmly, then stepped off the stage and came behind the captain. With one hand, he lifted the captain's body, which was pinned to the ground by the halberd.

Although he was stabbed in the abdomen, the location was not a vital spot. He bled a lot but it wasn't fatal, and he could recover with rest.

Lin Zhen tossed down a bottle of medicine, then sighed, "Why bother?"

After saying that, Lin Zhen looked at Tong Huan: "Manager Tong, did we win? Can we go and collect the Star Crystal now?"

"Ahhh! You won, you can go now." Tong Huan was shocked and instinctively felt some fear towards Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen then returned to his team and said to his four stunned teammates, "What are you still standing there for? We're here to collect Star Crystal, not to stand around doing nothing. Let's go."

As she spoke, Lin Zhen walked forward alone, as if nothing had happened.

Taking two steps and then turning back, Lin Zhen shouted, "Stop daydreaming! Let's go! This is the captain's order!"

The group then realized what was happening. Zhao Xiaoman reacted the most dramatically. She ran over, baring her teeth and claws, and jumped onto Lin Zhen's back. "Big Brother Lin, this must be a curse, right? I told you your curse is even more powerful than the Old Witch's!"

"This is kung fu, not a curse." Lin Zhen remained unmoved and carried Zhao Xiaoman forward.

"No, no! I admire you so much, I want to kiss you." Zhao Xiaoman persisted unreasonably.

"Absolutely not, get off." Lin Zhen shook her head twice, but Zhao Xiaoman still kissed her cheek.

After Zhao Xiaoman succeeded, she obediently left Lin Zhen's back and followed behind happily.

Lou Qingfeng silently walked to Lin Zhen's side. "Boss Lin, if you can teach me how to use curses, I can kiss you too."

Thump!

Lou Qingfeng fell to the ground face-first into the dirt.

The five-member team headed towards the Beehive, where a large number of Star Crystal awaited them.
