Sky Dome Four Gods

As soon as Captain Wang finished speaking, several people walked in from the entrance of the arena.

Lin Zhen and the others also turned around to look. Walking at the front was a man in his late twenties with a sinister face and a hooked nose, exuding the air of a treacherous villain.

Li Changying's expression changed when he saw this person. "Zhou Butong is back."

"Oh, this is Zhou Butong. He seems to be quite extraordinary." Lin Zhen could clearly sense a powerful aura emanating from this person. He was actually a powerful expert at the fifth level of Dantian Qi Compression.

Zhou Butong is the actual person in charge of the Beehive and the captain of the East Team One, but he spends very little time in the Beehive. He spends most of his time in the Sky Dome and only comes back to check on things when something big happens in the Beehive.

For example, when Li Changying and a group of Northwest martial artists challenged the dominance of the East Team One, it was Zhou Butong who came back in the end and completely suppressed Li Changying and his group.

When the people around saw Zhou Butong return, they all showed respect and made way for him.

However, after Zhou Butong entered, he did not walk in front. Instead, he looked around and lingered on the faces of Lin Zhen and the others for a while before revealing a contemptuous sneer.

He then stepped aside and gestured for the people behind him to proceed.

Four people walked in behind Zhou Butong.

The first person, with gray hair and wearing a gray robe, looked old despite not being very old, and walked at the front.

The second person was dressed in black, with long black hair and a rugged appearance. His eyes flashed with an air of arrogance.

The third person was a relatively thin martial artist, not very tall, and seemed a bit malnourished. He had a smile on his face, but it always felt like a forced smile.

The last one was a female martial artist, wearing an ice-blue dress. She was fairly good-looking, but her face was cold and aloof. She looked to be around twenty-five or twenty-six years old.

Upon seeing these four people, Li Changying's expression suddenly changed drastically. He gripped the gun barrel tightly with his hand. Lin Zhen was right next to him and could clearly sense Li Changying's anger.

"Changying, what's wrong?"

"It's the Sky Dome Four Gods again. Those four damned guys. Last time, I teamed up with the Northwest Military Martial Hall members, including some senior members from previous years, to challenge Zhou Butong. In the end, we were defeated by these four. And they're here again today."

"Are these the four people? The Sky Dome Four Gods? Did they come from the Sky Dome?"

Lin Zhen looked at the four people and could clearly feel the energy fluctuations on their bodies. These four people were also showing off, releasing their Dantian Qi pressure as soon as they came over, trying to take the initiative.

These four people were all experts at the Dantian Qi Compression Sixth Stage! Moreover, they were definitely geniuses. With Lin Zhen's keen eye, it was easy to see that these four were extraordinary.

Li Changying continued, "These four people are all from the Capital City Base City. They came to Star Fruit Tree with Yue Feng, the current King of the Sky Dome and Little Overlord Yue Feng. They can be said to be Yue Feng's best friends. After entering Star Fruit Tree, they fought alongside Yue Feng and finally ruled the Sky Dome."

"In the Sky Dome, Little Overlord Yue Feng, is the unparalleled king. His eighth-level Dantian Qi compression makes him invincible. Below Yue Feng is a woman from the God's Grace Church in the Capital City, named Ye Lanshan. This woman is no simple character either, possessing seventh-level compression. She and Yue Feng became friends after a fight. The two battled for two years inside the Star Fruit Tree, but in the end, Yue Feng won, and Ye Lanshan became his deputy, making her the number two figure in the Sky Dome."

Lin Zhen listened and nodded. He knew some of these things. Ye Lanshan was Su Mingyue's senior sister. She was also a candidate for Holy Maiden. However, in the end, Su Mingyue's Master, the Great God Sect of the God's Grace Church in the Capital City, Xuan Ze Su Mingyue to become Holy Maiden.

Ye Lanshan came to the Star Fruit Tree several years ago and is now in the Sky Dome. She was the one who took Su Mingyue away.

Li Changying continued, "Within the Sky Dome, besides Yue Feng and Ye Lanshan, the four people in front of us are the Sky Dome Four Gods. They have always teamed up with Yue Feng and are extremely powerful. Each of them has absorbed special Star Crystal."

As he spoke, Li Changying pointed to the first gray-robed martial artist. "This person is called Hua Cangtian. He Mind Power Master and once absorbed a Special Star Crystal containing wind energy. He is very strong. I was defeated by him. Within three moves, I was knocked off the stage by him without even realizing it."

Lin Zhen's expression immediately turned solemn. Defeating Li Changying in three moves, this person's strength was simply unfathomable.

"The second person in black robes is called Li Xuanqiong. Like me, Heavenly Strength and speed. He has also absorbed a power-type Star Crystal. His physical strength has far exceeded the limit of War General. Even ordinary War God cannot compare to him. Back then, a Northwest Military Martial Hall expert from my previous year was crippled by him with a single punch."

"The third skinny guy is called Zhang Sihai. He is Heavenly Speedster and has also absorbed speed Star Crystal. His speed has reached an unimaginable level. No one can match his speed. He is the king of speed."

"The last woman is named Dong Shencai. She is also Mind Power Master. Legend has it that among the Sky Dome Four Gods, she is the strongest. However, she didn't even have to lift a finger in the last battle. The first three people took care of us. I don't know her exact strength, but it's certain that she has absorbed Special Star Crystal."

Lin Zhen muttered softly, "Hua Cangtian, Li Xuanqiong, Zhang Sihai, Dong Shencai, the Sky Dome Four Gods, are all martial artists at the sixth level of the Compression Realm. We're in trouble this time!"

Zhao Xiaoman also came over. "Big Brother Lin, we've already taken the challenge, but they've brought this whole group of people. What should we do?"

"No wonder Captain Wang of the Third Team has been so quiet these past few days. It turns out he was prepared all along, deliberately waiting for us to fall into his trap. No doubt, this is Zhou Butong's doing behind the scenes. He just wants to keep us firmly in the West Fourth Team and prevent us from moving," Jiang Huai added from the side.

Lou Qingfeng interjected, "I've also heard of the Sky Dome Four Gods. They're among the top tier of the Star Fruit Tree. Is it worth it for them to come here specifically to suppress us instead of cultivating in the Sky Dome?"

Upon hearing Lou Qingfeng's words, Lin Zhen suddenly stirred.

Exactly! Why would the Sky Dome Four Gods accept Zhou Butong's invitation and go to such lengths to suppress us? Does Zhou Butong have that much influence?

No, this shouldn't be the idea of Sky Dome Four Gods, but rather the idea of Little Overlord Yue Feng. This means Yue Feng is going to deal with me.

Although Lin Zhen didn't know why Yue Feng wasn't coming in person, this suddenly occurred to her.

Yue Feng wanted to stay where he was forever, unable to improve, or at least suppress himself for a year or two, and he needed this period of time.

"Su Mingyue!"

The name Su Mingyue flashed through Lin Zhen's mind.

Yue Feng likes Su Mingyue and wants to marry her, which is probably going to happen in the next six months. If I don't make any progress in six months, then I won't be able to threaten Yue Feng, and he might actually succeed in his Yue Feng.

It's easy to imagine that the Sky Dome Four Gods were in the West Third Team with the sole purpose of preventing Lin Zhen and the others from obtaining any Star Crystal, and thus preventing them from ever advancing. They were simply stuck here, unable to improve their cultivation level.

They don't intend to stay forever; perhaps half a year will suffice. Ye Lanshan doesn't have much time left in the Star Fruit Tree. Once Ye Lanshan leaves, no one will be able to protect Su Mingyue.

Based on the appearance of the Sky Dome Four Gods, Lin Zhen quickly figured out the cause and effect of the matter.

"Yue Feng! You're so ruthless!" Lin Zhen looked towards the Sky Dome and clenched her fists tightly.

At this moment, Zhou Butong walked up to Li Changying and Lin Zhen, first giving Li Changying a contemptuous look. "Northwest kid, I told you, as long as I, Zhou Butong, am in the Beehive, don't even think about making a name for yourself. Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you found a few new teammates? You're too naive. According to the challenge rules, you can only move forward, not backward. You two will stay in the West Third Team forever. I guarantee you, from today onwards, you won't get a single Star Crystal!"

Li Changying stared intently at Zhou Butong: "Zhou Butong! It was our people from the Northwest who challenged you because you extracted too many Star Crystal. This has nothing to do with my teammates. Why did you do this? If you have any complaints about me, come at me alone!"

"Hahaha! Don't flatter yourself. If it were just you alone, it wouldn't be worth me making a fuss. I'm here to have a word with this brother."

As he spoke, Zhou Butong looked at Lin Zhen: "Your name is Lin Zhen?"

"Good."

"While I was gone, you've been quite the show-off, haven't you? What? Thinking about improving your strength so you can go to the Sky Dome and rescue your beautiful girlfriend? Heh!"

"Speak your mind, or get to the point. The competition is about to begin."

"What's the rush? I can tell you straight, you have no hope. See these four behind me? From today onwards, they'll be permanently stationed here at the Beehive. As long as they're here, your team is completely finished. From now on, just watch others collect Star Crystal until that girl gets married, hahaha!"

Lin Zhen remained calm. "They are not invincible either."

"Hmph! You're such a frog in a well. Don't you know the strength of the Sky Dome Four Gods? But you'll soon experience it for yourself. Actually, this isn't entirely your fault. You didn't offend Little Overlord. But as the saying goes, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.' A woman like Saintess Su is only worthy of Little Overlord. Compared to Tyrant, you're like a rich and handsome guy versus a loser. You'd better realize this. So I advise you to stop daydreaming. Maybe that way you can leave the Star Fruit Tree alive."

After saying that, Zhou Butong turned to the Sky Dome Four Gods and said, "Then I'll leave things here to you four. You don't need to worry about anything. Just guard the West Third Team. You'll be served whatever you need. I'm going back to the Sky Dome now."

The Sky Dome Four Gods merely nodded slightly, not taking Zhou Butong seriously.

Zhou Butong didn't feel anything was wrong at all. He glared at Lin Zhen and Li Changying again before turning around and leaving the arena without lingering for a moment.

Zhou Butong left, Tong Huan came out, somewhat impatiently saying to Lin Zhen and the others, "Are you still going to compete? If not, just admit defeat."

Lin Zhen glanced at the Sky Dome Four Gods and said firmly, "Who said the competition is canceled? The competition will still begin!"
