Tang Yu Appears (Fifth Update)

As soon as Dong Shencai's Ice Blade appeared, Lin Zhen knew that the battle was hopeless.

Unable to withstand the Mental Power shield, Lin Zhen simply abandoned his defense and concentrated all his power on the Bright Silver Spear. At the same time, five spears flew into the air to intercept the opponent's Ice Blade, and he charged towards Dong Shencai with all his might!

The Long Spear turned a bright gold, its sharpness causing even the space around it to tremble slightly. Lin Zhen was covered in a layer of frost, yet he charged forward without hesitation!

Dong Shencai was like an ice cellar, with cold air constantly emanating from every move he made. His two swords never stopped, and he launched a fierce attack on Lin Zhen!

Attack against attack!

After the violent tremor, the chill dissipated, and Lin Zhen's body flew backward off the stage, his entire body white, with several wounds on his chest.

To land means to fail.

But Lin Zhen did not fall. He moved his arms a couple of times to remove the layer of frost from his body, and then faced Dong Shencai: "I've learned my lesson. We will fight again someday."

After saying that, Lin Zhen walked back to his own camp.

On the arena, Dong Shencai's face turned pale, and finally, under everyone's gaze, blood began to flow from one of his arms, where Lin Zhen had stabbed him, the wound so deep that the bone was visible.

White Freezing Qi surged out, and the bleeding from the wound immediately stopped. Dong Shencai slowly walked off the stage.

At this moment, Captain Wang walked over and said, oblivious to the opportune moment, "Young Miss Dong, you are truly remarkable. You defeated Lin Zhen in just three minutes."

"Get out!" Dong Shencai coldly uttered a single word, leaving Captain Wang speechless.

The battle ended, and the surrounding area erupted in uproar.

"As I predicted, Lin Zhen lost."

"Everyone knows he can't win, do you even need to tell me?"

"However, I don't think Lin Zhen lost. That woman has already Dantian Qi Compression Sixth Stage and has also absorbed Special Star Crystal. It's already quite remarkable that Lin Zhen was able to fight to that extent. He's only at the first level of compression. If Lin Zhen could reach the fourth level, I would definitely think Lin Zhen would win."

"I think so too, but Lin Zhen probably won't have a chance. With the Third Team blocking his way, he won't be able to obtain Star Crystal, so how can he improve?"

"Boss Zhou's move to wipe out his family line is too ruthless; it cuts off his escape route."

Lin Zhen returned to the group, sat down, and took out his medicine. He was so grateful that he had robbed Guang Ge's Space Ring; otherwise, his injury would have been much more difficult to treat.

Zhao Xiaoman asked with concern, "Big Brother Lin, how are you?"

"Fortunately, it's nothing serious, just superficial injuries. It should heal in ten to fifteen days."

Jiang Huai walked over and gave Lin Zhen a thumbs up. "I admire you. Boss Lin is indeed my idol. I probably wouldn't have lasted a minute if I went up there."

Li Changying chimed in, "Even half a minute would be tough. This woman is even more powerful than Hua Cangtian."

Lin Zhen took a breath. "Who's next? Go!"

Jiang Huai straightened his clothes, got up, and stepped onto the arena.

The second opponent to appear was Li Xuanqiong. Encouraged by Lin Zhen, Jiang Huai was not afraid of Li Xuanqiong at all. Although Li Xuanqiong in the fight, he managed to hold on for two minutes before being defeated and only suffering minor injuries.

Then Li Changying appeared and faced Hua Cangtian again. This time, Li Changying performed much better than before. With some preparation, Hua Cangtian was no longer able to defeat Li Changying in three moves, and the fight lasted for about two minutes.

The score is now 3-0, and Lin Zhen's team has failed in their challenge. Tong Huan was about to announce the result, but Lin Zhen's team insisted on fighting, Lou Qingfeng continued to take the stage.

Facing Zhang Sihai, Lou Qingfeng also made full use of his advantages as Mind Power Master, engaging in aerial combat. The two fought for a minute and a half, but Lou Qingfeng was defeated due to the large difference in their strength.

Zhao Xiaoman finally joined the fray, her opponent being the former captain. This battle wasn't so lopsided; Zhao Xiaoman fought Captain Wang for a full five minutes before ultimately losing due to a mistake.

After stepping down from the stage, Zhao Xiaoman pouted and said, "Next time, I'll train hard and I'll definitely defeat him in six months."

Thus, Lin Zhen's challenge ended in failure, but the victorious Sky Dome Four Gods were not overjoyed, especially since Dong Shencai, the top expert among the Four Gods, was injured in the battle with Lin Zhen, which cast a shadow over their victory.

Zhang Sihai said to Dong Shencai, whose face had been very pale, "Shencai, you don't need to be too discouraged. Lin Zhen is, after all, their number one expert, and he only lasted three minutes against you. He is far from being your match."

Dong Shencai coldly said, "Lin Zhen is indeed no match for me now, but if given time to grow, I think in just over a year, he might surpass me."

"This is easy to handle. What are we here for? Isn't it to keep Lin Zhen and the others firmly in check? It won't even take a year, just half a year. After half a year, Ye Lanshan will have no choice but to leave the Star Fruit Tree. At that time, our mission will be complete. Without Ye Lanshan's restraint, the Tyrant will not only be able to win the beauty's heart, but also take action personally. At that time, Lin Zhen will surely die."

Hua Cangtian added, "That's right. Although their team has good potential, they haven't grown up yet. As long as we firmly hold onto third place, they won't be able to Thunder Pool or get a single Star Crystal. In six months, they'll either disband or become just another ordinary person."

Dong Shencai nodded. "Alright, we'll stay here for six months, and that will be considered completing the Tyrant's mission. However, the Tyrant won't need to take action then; I'll deal with Lin Zhen myself."

After Lin Zhen's team was defeated, they did not appear in the Beehive for several days. Everyone was healing in the Tree Hole. A whole week later, the fifth-ranked team seemed to see an opportunity and boldly challenged Lin Zhen's fourth team, Xuan Ze to Team Battle.

This time, Lin Zhen led his team to the scene. Although his injuries had not fully healed, the battle lasted less than a minute, and he swept all the challengers off the stage in a crushing defeat.

At this point, those who had been making Yin-Yang and strange remarks fell silent.

Lin Zhen's team may not be able to defeat the Sky Dome Four Gods, but they can easily deal with some lower-ranked teams. If anyone thinks they are easy targets, they are sorely mistaken.

In fact, Lin Zhen hadn't been idle all week. He spent his days healing his injuries and his nights still collecting Star Crystal.

However, going out during the day was no longer useful. With the Sky Dome Four Gods blocking the Third Team, Lin Zhen and his team would not obtain any Star Crystal. Since his teammates had no source of Star Crystal, Lin Zhen could no longer eat alone and began to share his Star Crystal with his teammates.

However, Lin Zhen did not give them Star Crystal directly. Instead, he asked Guang Ge from the Ant Nest to send some Planet Crystal over every day, mixing a few Star Crystal with them.

This greatly surprised Jiang Huai. They didn't know how Lin Zhen could make Guang Ge so obedient, but with the Star Crystal to absorb, they couldn't care less.

However, the warriors on the other side of the Beehive were having a tough time. Every morning when they went to the Beehive, they found only one or two Star Crystal on it, which made them very strange. They thought there was something wrong inside the Beehive.

Because no one could pick them at night, no one thought of it.

More than a month passed, and Lin Zhen's Dantian Qi compression finally reached the fourth level.

Besides him, Jiang Huai and Li Changying are also about to reach the Third Compression, while Lou Qingfeng has completed the first level of compression, and Zhao Xiaoman is about to enter the second level.

Lin Zhen challenged the Sky Dome Four Gods once again, attracting a large crowd of onlookers.

Both sides tacitly agreed not to change their order of appearance, and the result was the same: Lin Zhen's side lost, and the time they lasted was also the same. The only difference was that this time, no one on Lin Zhen's side was injured.

After this failure, Lin Zhen seemed very frustrated. He led the members away dejectedly, looking like they had lost all confidence.

People left somewhat bored. It seemed that Lin Zhen's team hadn't improved at all in the past month, and there was no point in watching any longer.

When they returned to the Tree Hole, Zhao Xiaoman asked, somewhat puzzled, "Big Brother Lin, this time you let us go on another challenge, but we're not allowed to go all out. The only requirement is not to get injured. What's the point of doing that?"

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "That way people will think that we should give up completely, and others will stop paying attention to you. You know, in a few days, you will all make breakthroughs. If you don't keep a low profile, you will definitely be discovered by those with ulterior motives."

"So what do we do next?" Lou Qingfeng asked.

"Stay here, don't go out or see anyone, just cultivate honestly, let people think you are waiting for the Sky Dome Four Gods to leave, and also waiting for me to return."

"Big Brother Lin, are you leaving? Where are you going?" Zhao Xiaoman asked in surprise. Although she could no longer go to the Beehive, Guang Ge still delivered Star Crystal to her every day. She felt that life was pretty good. Her cultivation was not slow at all. In another year or two, she might be able to defeat the Sky Dome Four Gods.

Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I'm going out for a walk. I'll probably be back in a few days. You don't need to worry."

The team members remained silent. Lin Zhen Lin Zhen was a competent captain, and they did not want to interfere with his actions.

Lin Zhen's decision to leave wasn't impulsive; there were two reasons behind it.

As he said, staying in the Beehive would attract attention, so if he left, no one would care about his teammates. At most, he could quietly come back at night to collect Star Crystal, which wouldn't affect his progress in cultivation.

The second reason is that Lin Zhen simply cannot afford to waste time with the Sky Dome Four Gods. Although Lin Zhen is confident that he can defeat the Sky Dome Four Gods in half a year, can he wait half a year?

If they really wait for half a year, Su Mingyue will definitely suffer, and Lin Zhen himself will also be in danger. Even if he defeats the Sky Dome Four Gods, he will not be able to defeat Little Overlord Yue Feng.

So he had to go out, and he already had a goal.

Yesterday he saw Tang Yu appear on the Locator!

Today, I'm adding a third chapter as a bonus, to honor the book's Alliance Leader (Tian Hao Yu).
