Raging Wind Young Master

Inside the Beehive, Lin Zhen sat cross-legged near the huge mound of earth, never leaving, day or night.

Whenever Star Crystal appears, Lin Zhen picks it immediately, as the mutated Bee can no longer pose a real threat to him.

Within the Different Dimension Space, he had already compressed his Dantian Qi to half of the ninth level. He aimed to compress Dantian Qi tenfold within the next few days.

This mound can produce about twenty-five to thirty Star Crystal a day. Although it is not as effective as the Star Crystal in the Different Dimension Space, it still has an improving effect.

Besides here, Star Crystal are also constantly being sent from the Ant Nest. Every single Star Crystal produced in these two places is now being used by Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen once roughly estimated that he would need about 500 more Star Crystal to advance to the ten-fold compression level.

In ten days, the Beehive can only produce a maximum of three hundred kernels, and the Ant Nest can only produce about one hundred. Combining the two places, it will be difficult to advance in ten days.

But there was no other way at the moment. Apart from these two places, many martial artists went into the forest, hoping to find new Star Crystal for Lin Zhen.

After all, whether Lin Zhen can break through smoothly is related to the outcome of the counterattack on the Sky Dome. None of these martial artists dare to embezzle. They hope to take advantage of the momentum of Lin Zhen's strong rise to completely change the situation within the Star Fruit Tree.

Including the Ant Nest nest, under the supervision of Guang Ge, Ma Mingxing, and Sun Tie, almost all the martial artists went out to search. The task of collecting the Ant Nest Star Crystal fell to Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng. The two of them were Mind Power Master, so they were fast enough to collect and transport the crystals.

On the first day, the Beehive produced 27 Star Crystal, the Ant Nest produced 9, and 3 were collected from outside, for a total of 39, which Lin Zhen absorbed.

The second day's harvest was good: thirty-one Beehive, twelve Ant Nest, and seven more collected from outside, for a total of fifty.

The third day was similar to the second day, with forty-eight pills.

On the fourth day, the production from the Beehive and Ant Nest was still good, but only one Star Crystal was collected from outside, out of a total of forty.

On the fifth day, the Honeycomb Anthill produced thirty-five Star Crystal, but there were none outside.

Not only were the Star Crystal not collected, but many of the martial artists who went out to collect Star Crystal also did not return.

Originally, after Lin Zhen's integration, there were 82 people in the Beehive and 103 people in the Ant Nest, for a total of 185 people.

Apart from Lin Zhen cultivating and Jiang Huai and others collecting star crystals, the remaining 180 people were all sent out to collect Star Crystal. However, five days later, when the number of people was counted, the total number had actually dropped to 140!

In other words, forty-five people have left in the past few days.

On the night of the sixth day, after absorbing all thirty-seven Star Crystal, the total number of people in both locations had dropped to one hundred and five when the headcount was taken.

Another forty people have gone missing!

When Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng came to deliver the Star Crystal to Lin Zhen, they stood in front of Lin Zhen and said, "Idol, something seems amiss."

"What's going on?"

"The Little Overlord of the Sky Dome has already spread the word that he is about to hold a wedding with Su Mingyue. Anyone who is willing to go and congratulate him can join the Sky Dome and immediately receive five Star Crystal and 500 million in cash. This temptation is too great. In the past few days, many people have already joined because they could not resist the temptation."

"This means that those people are no longer focused on collecting Star Crystal when they go out; they're all considering whether to join the Sky Dome."

"That's probably the case. Right now, there are only about a hundred people left in both places combined. If it's another two days, I'm afraid there won't even be fifty left."

"Heh! Yue Feng really has a big hand. Does he have that much cash to pay? Eighty people have come and gone in the past few days, that's 40 billion in cash. I don't believe he has a place to store that much cash and bring it into the Star Fruit Tree." Li Changying chimed in from the side, clearly quite disdainful of the other martial artists' actions.

Zhao Xiaoman also said, "Yeah, it's all just empty talk. Those martial artists won't get any money even if they go. At most, they'll get a few Star Crystal. How could they be so stupid?"

Unexpectedly, Lou Qingfeng shook his head. "You are all wrong. As long as Little Overlord agrees, 500 million in cash is nothing. He can even come up with hundreds of billions. If you ask him for it later, he won't renege on the debt."

"Oh! Why do you say that?" Jiang Huai asked.

"Hehe, I just heard about it too. You probably don't know Little Overlord's true identity yet. Just because of his identity, a mere few hundred billion wouldn't be enough to ruin his reputation."

"What kind of identity makes you so powerful?"

"The son of the master of the Raging Wind Martial Hall School in the Capital City, don't you think he's amazing?" Lou Qingfeng finally revealed the truth.

"Raging Wind Martial Hall? Isn't that the First Martial Hall in the country? Raging Wind in Capital City is the headquarters of Raging Wind, and the headmaster is the Grand Hall Master. Yue Feng is actually the son of the headmaster of the national Raging Wind Grand Hall Master?" Jiang Huai was stunned. He came from Modu Raging Wind. So, does that mean he is also a member of Yue Feng's family Martial Arts Hall?

Even Lin Zhen was stunned. Yue Feng was actually the son of the head of the Raging Wind Grand Hall Master?

Zhao Xiaoman asked doubtfully, "Isn't the chief master of Liefeng Martial Arts Hall Chen Fengli? The best master in the world, is he Yue Feng's father? But why are the last names different?"

Lou Qingfeng didn't answer this question; Jiang Huai simply said, "Chen Fenglie is indeed the founder of Raging Wind and the number one expert now, but he is only the honorary master. He has long since stopped managing affairs and is now focused on pursuing the Martial Dao Peak. The Grand Hall Master Raging Wind in the Capital City is Yue Zhenhua, a good friend of Chen Fenglie, who took over the position more than ten years ago."

After saying that, Jiang Huai sighed, "Some people may be able to resist the temptation of money, but when they hear about Little Overlord's identity, who would dare to go against him? After all, they will eventually have to leave the Star Fruit Tree and return to the outside world. Offending Raging Wind is not only courting death, but they will be lucky if he doesn't immediately launch a counterattack, let alone storm the Sky Dome."

Zhao Xiaoman glanced at Jiang Huai and asked, "You're also with Raging Wind, don't you have similar thoughts?"

Jiang Huai hurriedly raised his hand. "Don't frame me! But to be honest, if I weren't with Boss Lin, I might have really stood by and done nothing. But since it's him, I'm going to fight alongside him to the very end."

Lin Zhen nodded slightly, then asked Jiang Huai, "What's the situation outside now?"

"What else can we do? People's hearts are in turmoil. Just look at how we haven't collected a single Star Crystal in the past few days."

Li Changying said, "These people are also contradictory. They want to overthrow the rule of the Sky Dome, but they are also afraid of the Tyrant's power and tempted by money. Even if these people go on stage, it is hard to say how much strength they can exert."

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhen stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then it's necessary to go out and talk to them."

After saying that, Lin Zhen got up and left the Beehive. Jiang Huai and the others, not understanding why, followed closely behind Lin Zhen.

They walked all the way to the Tree Hole area of Beehive, where the remaining dozens of Beehive warriors were still gathered, chatting in twos and threes. When they saw Lin Zhen arrive, they all stood up, but their expressions were somewhat awkward.

Lin Zhen stood at the front of the crowd, cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, I know what has happened these past few days. I won't say anything more. Everyone has a different personality, different pursuits, and different paths to take. I respect each of your Xuan Ze."

Some martial artists seemed about to say something, but Lin Zhen waved his hand to stop them. "No need to say anything. Now I'll give everyone a Xuan Ze. Those who want to go to the Sky Dome can leave now. I, Lin Zhen, will not stop them."

The martial artists present looked at each other, hesitated for a moment, and then someone made the first move.

After one person left, another person followed suit and left.

As some martial artists were leaving, they came up to Lin Zhen and said, "Lin Zhen, it's not that we don't support you, but this matter is beyond our control. You should continue cultivating here in the Beehive. We won't go to the Sky Dome after we leave. We'll come back after you've left."

Lin Zhen nodded slightly, thinking that it was already quite good that someone could be so willing to remain neutral.

Many martial artists Xuan Ze to go to the Sky Dome, but about thirty-four people left the Beehive and went outside. Anyway, this matter will be resolved soon, and no matter what the final result is, they should still have a place to cultivate.

Both Little Overlord Yue Feng, and Lin Zhen have almost reached the pinnacle of their cultivation, and their days in the Star Fruit Tree are numbered.

In less than ten minutes, all the martial artists inside the Beehive had left.

Lin Zhen then looked at Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng: "Go to the Ant Nest again and repeat everything I said. It's likely that Ma Mingxing doesn't want anyone to leave yet, so forcing them to stay won't work."

Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng nodded and got up to head to the Ant Nest.

Afterwards Li Changying and Zhao Xiaoman stayed with Lin Zhen, worried that Lin Zhen might be unhappy about something.

But Lin Zhen didn't care at all, and returned to the Beehive to continue absorbing Star Crystal.

The next day, Jiang Huai returned and told Lin Zhen that the people at the Ant Nest had also dispersed. Currently, only Lou Qingfeng, Ma Mingxing, Guang Ge, and a few others were still at the Ant Nest. Even Sun Tie had left.

Lin Zhen nodded, and after absorbing a Star Crystal, he looked up.

Above the layers of branches lies the Sky Dome.

"Today should be the day Yue Feng throws a farewell banquet for Ye Lanshan, right?" Lin Zhen suddenly said.

"Yes, it seems quite lively over there in the Sky Dome. I guess the banquet will start soon." Jiang Huai sat next to Lin Zhen. The Beehive was empty, with only the Bee still buzzing tirelessly.

"After Ye Lanshan has eaten this meal, she will probably leave the Star Fruit Tree tomorrow, or at the latest the day after."

Lin Zhen said something, then turned to face his teammates. "Tomorrow, I will leave the Beehive and head to the Sky Dome."

"Okay, let's go together!" several people said.

"No!"

Lin Zhen waved her hand, "You all stay here, I'll go alone this time."

I'll be making up for yesterday's missed monthly votes with this update.
