Successive Promotions

The martial artists on the west side of the mound were slightly surprised to see that it was Lin Zhen's team coming.

Captain Wang of West Third Team sneered, "You actually succeeded in the challenge. Fifth Team is utterly useless."

"You'll be in two weeks," Zhao Xiaoman retorted shrewdly.

At this moment, other martial artists came over and told them what had just happened. After hearing about Lin Zhen and his group's overwhelming victory, the faces of the West Third Team members were uncertain. In the end, they stopped arguing with Zhao Xiaoman and returned to their own positions.

When Lin Zhen and his group of five sat down in the fifth row on the west side, the West Fourth Team, which was twenty meters in front of them, turned around and smiled at them in a friendly manner. However, there was a hint of deliberate flattery in that smile.

Because Lin Zhen and his team will likely be challenging the Fourth Team in a week, building good relationships now means that if they lose, it won't be too embarrassing.

Lin Zhen and the others nodded in agreement. Looking at the groups in front, Lin Zhen had already noticed that the empty seats were not full. Only two or three people remained in each group, while the rest went to cultivate.

Martial artists need a lot of time to cultivate, and not everyone needs to stay here all the time.

Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said to the other four Human Path, "Let's split into two groups. Not everyone needs to wait here. We can take turns coming over."

"I'll team up with Big Brother Lin," Zhao Xiaoman immediately declared.

The remaining three people were to be grouped together, supposedly to ensure an even distribution of strength. In their view, Lin Zhen's strength had already reached a level beyond the others.

"Then Captain, you stay here and hold the fort today. The three of us will go back to cultivate."

Jiang Huai said something to Lin Zhen, and then he, Li Changying, and Lou Qingfeng got up and left.

They had only been gone a short while when Lin Zhen noticed a hole in the Beehive that was dripping nectar.

"Xiaoman, your body is not fully recovered yet. Don't move this time. I'll go and fight for it."

The distance between the West Fifth Team and the mound is 150 meters. There is another group every 20 meters in front of it. At such a distance, it is very difficult to compete for the Star Crystal. Usually, people go to pick up the Planet Crystal that no one wants in front of them.

Although Zhao Xiaoman knew the chances were slim, she still nodded in agreement.

"They're coming down! Everyone get ready." The groups in front were all prepared, ready to snatch any Star Crystal they saw.

The Energy Honey grew larger and larger until it finally dripped down, sparkling like starlight in the air and attracting everyone's attention.

It fell and landed right on a flower, which immediately opened, revealing the Star Crystal inside.

"Star Crystal!"

With a shout from someone, everyone seemed to have springs under their butts, and they rushed out with a bang, heading straight for the Star Crystal.

The First Team was 70 meters away from the mound, and since the location where the Star Crystal appeared was not on the edge, the actual distance was more than 100 meters. The Second Team was 20 meters further away than them.

Lin Zhen also activated his technique. As Mind Power Master, he could activate his technique much faster than the average person. The shield beneath his feet emitted a stream of light, and he shot out in a flash!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhen surpassed the warriors of the West Fourth Team and was catching up with the West Third Team.

"That kid's fast!" The members of the West Fourth Team exclaimed in amazement as they watched Lin Zhen rush past at Wind Lightning Speed.

At the 100-meter mark, Lin Zhen overtook the people from the West Third Team again. Although there were also Mind Power Master among those vying for the prize, which martial artist at the General Level could match Lin Zhen's Mental Power?

When they reached the mound, Lin Zhen was already running alongside the Second Team, catching up with the First Team.

The First Team had already approached the Star Crystal. One of the Mind Power Master charged forward with a shield, completely ignoring the Mutated Bee coming at him, wanting to take down the Star Crystal first.

Even if it's the First Team, or even if there's a day when they return empty-handed, every single Star Crystal is worth fighting for.

Seeing that he was about to fall behind, Lin Zhen quietly activated his Gravity, pulling all the Mutated Bee around the Nian Shi towards him.

The Mutated Bee were pulled by Lin Zhen's Gravity and rushed towards the mind master, almost crashing into him. Each Mutated Bee was like a small airplane, and the huge impact made the mind master almost lose his balance and his shield.

"Holy crap! Have these Bee gone mad?"

Because of the pause caused by the Bee's impact, and the fact that the West Second Team members had just passed by, the Nen Master was almost driven mad with anger, but he was helpless.

Lin Zhen and the only Mind Master in the Second Team ahead of them headed straight for the Star Crystal.

"Kid! Don't be so arrogant, this Star Crystal is mine!" Seeing that Lin Zhen was about to overtake him, the Mind Power Master actually used a Flying Knife to slash at Lin Zhen's calf.

Lin Zhen didn't even look at it. He leaned his body almost horizontally, swept through the Ling Kong, and with a flick of his hand, the Star Crystal was in his hand!

The Flying Knife only flashed briefly outside his body before being blocked by a layer of golden light.

Mental Power protective shield!

The Flying Knife missed its target. Lin Zhen flew back beside the mind master, then suddenly turned around and pointed, a Golden Rays striking his calf.

Puff!

A tiny wound appeared on his leg, and the mind master cried out in pain. He slowed down and was immediately caught up by the Mutated Bee, which stung his buttocks hard.

Lin Zhen flew back and came to Zhao Xiaoman's side, handing her the Star Crystal: "Xiaoman, absorb it quickly, and the toxins in your body will be completely cleared away."

"Mmm." Zhao Xiaoman took the Star Crystal, her eyes moist as she looked at Lin Zhen: "Big Brother Lin, I think leaving the West Third Team and being with you was the best Xuan Ze I ever made in my life."

"Haha, that means we're quite destined to meet. Hurry up and absorb it."

Zhao Xiaoman began absorbing the Star Crystal, while the other groups of martial artists stared intently at Lin Zhen.

Although this wasn't the first time such a situation had occurred, it was extremely rare for a Star Crystal to be snatched away by the Fifth Team. The odds were incredibly slim.

This new guy is no pushover!

The Second Team of Nen masters was injured and hurriedly ran to find Antidote for treatment. He didn't even dare to look at Lin Zhen Lin Zhen he passed by.

Lin Zhen sat there cross-legged to recover and regulate her breathing, waiting for the second honey to fall.

Over the course of the day, a total of nine drops of honey fell from the west, giving birth to five Star Crystal. The First Team obtained two, the Second Team obtained one, and Lin Zhen took the remaining two. After all, the honey fell in different places each time, and if it was too close to the First Team, he would have little chance to compete for it.

The West Third Team found nothing, and Lin Zhen's curse came true once again.

Zhao Xiaoman's toxins have been completely cleared, and she has officially begun to compress the second layer of Dantian Qi. She has absorbed the remaining Star Crystal Lin Zhen, and with one more crystal, she can complete the first layer of compression.

That night, Lin Zhen went back home, and then secretly ran out again in the middle of the night. This time, he picked three Star Crystal in the east and two Star Crystal in the west.

After absorbing five Star Crystal, Lin Zhen's Dantian Qi finally completed the first level of compression and took a big step towards the second level. After all, compressing to the second level only requires thirty Star Crystal.

"Phew! I've finally completed the first stage of compression, and my Dantian Qi has doubled!"

Lin Zhen looked at his Dantian Qi and felt satisfied. Only this kind of cultivation speed could meet his requirements.

The next day, Lin Zhen spent the entire day inside the Tree Hole digesting what he had learned the previous night, while Zhao Xiaoman Lin Zhen cultivated beside him.

By evening, Li Changying and his two companions returned, still excitedly discussing how they had obtained two Star Crystal that day.

Every time Star Crystal appeared, the three of them would work together in perfect harmony, making them highly competitive and impressing other martial artists once again.

At night, Lin Zhen secretly went out for a "midnight snack" again and once again obtained four Star Crystal.

And so, a week passed. Apart from handing over some taxes to Tong Huan, Lin Zhen completed the double compression of his Dantian Qi and led his team to defeat the fourth-ranked team. This time it was Team Battle, and the five of them defeated the West Fourth Team almost effortlessly.

The West Fourth Team had no intention of resisting at all. After a few symbolic shots, they surrendered and voluntarily downgraded to the West Fifth Team.

This allowed the warriors inside the Beehive to witness once again the strength of Lin Zhen's group. Although the members of this group were not of high cultivation level, their strength was extremely powerful.

At this point, Lin Zhen's team had finally established a firm foothold in the Beehive and gained the support and admiration of many new martial artists.

With Lin Zhen in fourth place, the tough times for the West Third Team ahead of him were about to begin. Lin Zhen and his group deliberately targeted the West Third Team, competing with them for Star Crystal every time they had them, leaving them empty-handed for six consecutive days.

The day of the challenge is approaching again. Jiang Huai and his team are optimistic and believe that they will definitely succeed in challenging the West Third Team tomorrow. At present, the team's strength is only slightly inferior to the West Second Team. After challenging the West Third Team and resting for two months, challenging the West Second Team should not be a big problem.

However, Lin Zhen was not too optimistic. The people in the West Third Team had been very silent these days, and they would not even argue with Lin Zhen and his group anymore, but judging from their appearance, they did not seem to be giving up.

The next morning, the whole team set off. Today was the weekly challenge day again. Lin Zhen had told Tong Huan yesterday that they would be challenging West Third Team today.

When they arrived at the arena, they found that the West Third Team members were already waiting there, along with quite a few spectators.

Zhao Xiaoman was the first to step forward and said to Captain Wang of the West Third Team, "You guys are finished. Today is your last day in third place."

However, Captain Wang sneered, "Don't even dream about it. I can tell you, from now on, none of you will advance a single step. You'll stay in fourth place."

Zhao Xiaoman chuckled and pointed at the teammates next to Captain Wang: "Just the guys like you?"

Unexpectedly, Captain Wang shook his head. "No, those few are here to watch the battle today, not to fight, because they are no longer members of the West Third Team."

"They aren't? Then who are?" Zhao Xiaoman was taken aback.

He pointed behind Zhao Xiaoman to the captain. "Here comes my new teammate, welcome the Sky Dome Four Gods."
