The Fallen Base City

Upon seeing Gongsun Du arrive, Yue Zhenhua knew it was hopeless; he definitely wouldn't be able to kill Lin Zhen.

But he still shouted at Gongsun Du, "Gongsun Du, the person who died was my son!"

"Every day, countless martial artists come in and countless martial artists leave, but in the end, they all return to the embrace of the Starry Sky True God. Yue Zhenhua, I only spared the matter of your son imprisoning Yue'er for two years because your son is already dead. Don't be ungrateful, you'd better leave quickly."

Yue Zhenhua glanced at Gongsun Du, slowly stood up, and sheathed his Zimu Sword.

"Lin Zhen, this matter is not over. As long as you are still a member of Raging Wind, I have plenty of ways to deal with you."

Lin Zhen stood up at this moment. "I'm ready anytime!"

Yue Zhenhua snorted coldly, turned around and left the Star Fruit Tree, boarded his flying saucer and left the God General Training Camp.

At this moment, Guo Mo walked over and said to Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue, "Lin Zhen, student of the Raging Wind Martial Hall in Ice City Base City, and Su Mingyue, student of the God's Grace Church in Capital City Base City, congratulations on completing your trials within the Star Fruit Tree and successfully advancing to the War God. I now officially announce that you have graduated!"

As he spoke, Guo Mo handed the two graduation certificates to Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue.

Lin Zhen finally graduated and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Lin Zhen, after discussion and unanimous approval by all the instructors of our God General Training Camp, your performance in the Star Fruit Tree has earned you the title of Best Male Trainee of the Class 494. Therefore, you are hereby awarded a Star Artifact."

"Star Artifact!" Lin Zhen's eyes lit up. This was much more useful than any graduation certificate.

Guo Mo then said to Su Mingyue, "Su Mingyue won the Best Female Student award and also received a Star Artifact."

Su Mingyue nodded, not appearing particularly excited.

Guo Mo raised his hand, and ten boxes appeared in his Space Ring: "There are ten Star Artifact in total. There are six Low-Grade Star Weapon, two each of attack, defense, and support types; three Mid-Grade Star Artifact, one each of attack, defense, and support types; and one high-grade attack type Star Artifact. You can choose according to your own wishes. Each of you can Xuan Ze once. Let's begin."

People around dispersed, wanting to see how lucky Su Mingyue and Lin Zhen were.

Lin Zhen immediately became interested upon hearing this. If he could obtain Top-Grade Star Artifact, it would be a tremendous opportunity. Star Artifact greatly enhance the strength of martial artists. If he were to equip himself with a Top-Grade Star Artifact Long Spear, he would be able to crush a Intermediate God of War and even fight against Advanced God of War.

Su Mingyue's beautiful eyes also lit up as she stared at the boxes.

"Lin Zhen, you choose first."

"You should come, Yue'er. I believe you can choose the one you like."

Su Mingyue nodded and pointed to the one closest to her, "I'll choose this one."

Guo Mo didn't know what was inside each box either, so he walked over, opened one, and asked, "Why did Yue'er Xuan Ze this one?"

Actually, Su Mingyue and Guo Mo were not very familiar with each other. Even if Guo Mo had some relationship with Gongsun Du, it wasn't very deep. It was a bit shameless of him to call Su Mingyue"Yue'er," but given his status and age, it wasn't wrong for him to call her that.

Su Mingyue glanced at Guo Mo, then said, "Because this box is close to me."

Guo Mo was speechless. He went over and opened the box, only to find a note inside.

"Ah! Top-Grade Star Artifact to choose from!" Guo Mo was stunned. This was possible.

The other nine boxes contained Star Artifact, but only the top-grade one was optional, and Su Mingyue immediately chose it.

Even Gongsun Du behind her couldn't help but nod repeatedly; Su Mingyue's luck was truly unbelievable.

Su Mingyue's beautiful eyes lit up with excitement. "Can I Xuan Ze any type of weapon?"

"Of course," Guo Mo nodded with a smile.

"Then I Xuan Ze."

Before Su Mingyue could finish speaking, Lin Zhen immediately interjected, "What she needs is a sword; there's no need to ask about that."

Guo Mo nodded. "Alright, I think Yue'er's sword is a bit outdated. Uncle Guo will pick out the best sword for you later."

Su Mingyue looked at Lin Zhen, clearly Lin Zhen's answer was not what she meant.

Lin Zhen looked at Su Mingyue: "Silly girl, stop thinking only about others, okay?"

"But I got Top-Grade Star Artifact, while you didn't get Top-Grade Star Artifact."

"It's alright, I already have Long Spear, and Mid-Grade Star Artifact is not bad either. Yue'er is so lucky, help me pick one out."

Su Mingyue didn't stand on ceremony and immediately pointed to the one next to her suitcase. "This one."

Guo Mo walked over and opened it; inside was a pair of shoes.

"Yue'er is really lucky. It really is Mid-Grade Star Artifact, and it's a shoe-type Star Artifact. That's very rare." Lin Zhen took it, looked it over, and immediately showed a happy expression.

"Cloud Treader, this is a mid-grade auxiliary Mid-Grade Star Artifact that combines defense and flight. Its value is no less than that of a typical high-grade offensive artifact."

Lin Zhen Mind Power Master, and he needs a shield every time he flies. Sometimes he uses Liquid Metal instead, which is not very convenient. However, these shoes replace the psychic's flight vehicle and have extremely strong defense for the feet, which is indeed very rare.

Although he didn't get a top-grade attack Star Artifact, Lin Zhen knew that attack-type Star Artifact were the most common, and even top-grade ones were, in a sense, less practical than these shoes.

Seeing that Lin Zhen had obtained a very good Mid-Grade Star Artifact, Su Mingyue showed a sweet smile, which made Gongsun Du frown repeatedly, thinking to himself that daughters are hard to keep at home once they grow up.

Because Lin Zhen was still injured, everything at the God General Training Camp was kept simple. After a few brief words, graduation was considered over.

"Lin Zhen, Su Mingyue, you are welcome to come back and visit if you have time in the future. If you are willing, you can also come back to serve as instructors. We welcome you anytime."

Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue nodded in agreement, then said goodbye to the others. Gongsun Du had already boarded the flying saucer and instructed the two of them to follow immediately.

Lin Zhen originally thought he should return to Ice City Base City, but his wounds still needed treatment. In addition, he also needed to go to Capital City Base City, where Vitality Potion from the European Union were sold. Now that he had money, he could buy them for his parents. So he followed Su Mingyue onto Gongsun Du's flying saucer.

After boarding the flying saucer, it took off and flew towards the Capital City Base City.

But Lin Zhen sensed that something was off about the atmosphere. Gongsun Du sat there with a straight face, not saying a word, while Su Mingyue looked like a little girl who had done something wrong, silently lowering her head and remaining silent.

He still respected Gongsun Du Lin Zhen, as he had a deep impression of this person from his previous life.

When Extraterrestrial Civilization, Gongsun Du had even cultivated to the Meteor Stage, making him one of the most outstanding individuals on Earth.

Extraterrestrial Civilization invaded, Gongsun Du did not immediately come out to resist. He even had contact with the invaders. At that time, Lin Zhen even looked down on this person, thinking that he would rely on the invaders and become a traitor.

However, after Su Mingyue fought the invaders and died on the spot, Gongsun Du erupted.

He first led a group of invaders to the God's Grace Cathedral under the pretext of surrender, and then a great battle broke out. Gongsun Du, who seemed to be in no danger, Desperate Assault. He killed eleven invaders by himself and then boarded a Space Battleship that had invaded the Capital City Region. In the end, he successfully detonated the warship and became the first martial artist in the Asia Region to destroy an extraterrestrial warship.

Of course, Gongsun Du also died in that battle, a massive explosion that almost blotted out the sky, which Lin Zhen still remembers vividly.

This person is a rational, calm, and powerful individual. His only weakness might be Su Mingyue, the girl he raised single-handedly.

She's not his daughter, but she's even better than his daughter; it's normal for him to be in a bad mood right now.

Lin Zhen walked over silently and said, "Senior Gongsun."

Gongsun Du suddenly interrupted Lin Zhen: "Don't speak yet, sit down."

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment, but still sat down. Su Mingyue immediately came over and, having somehow obtained some bandages and gauze, began to bandage Lin Zhen.

Gongsun Du glanced at it, snorted coldly, and then turned up the volume on the satellite TV.

Lin Zhen gave a wry smile. This matter seemed to be getting complicated, especially since Su Mingyue's Star Gazing Mirror was broken because of him. Who knew what other trouble might arise.

Su Mingyue silently bandaged Lin Zhen's wound, gently biting her red lips, clearly feeling uneasy as well.

Just then, the sound of the television attracted the attention of several people.

"Breaking news: The month-long siege of the African Union's Cape Town Base City has come to an end today. The Cape Town Base City has been breached by Mutated Beast, and a large number of African Union warriors who went to Cape Town to provide support have been killed. The evacuation operation in Cape Town did not go smoothly, as it was intercepted by Mutated Beast along the way. According to incomplete statistics, the number of ordinary civilians who have died has now risen to nine million!"

Then came the satellite broadcast of the battlefield. Cape Town's walls had been breached by a herd of Mutated Rhinoceros, and smoke filled the air. People screamed and fled in all directions, while countless Mutated Jackal, Mutated Porcupine, Mutated Zebra, and Mutated Leopard pounced on the fleeing crowds.

As a fighter jet took off, Mutated Vulture, larger than ordinary fighter jets, swarmed in and quickly tore open the cockpit. The pilot was torn apart in mid-air by the vultures, and the fighter jet spun and crashed.

Tanks were deployed from the collapsed city wall when Mutated Giant Elephant, ten meters tall, charged over and stomped on a tank, turning it into a pancake.

Some sections of the city wall were still resisting when a giraffe charged over, its huge head sweeping across the wall and swallowing four or five soldiers whole. The machine guns that had been firing suddenly fell silent.

Poisonous snakes roamed the streets, monkeys leaped on rooftops, and the army suffered a complete defeat.

In some places, warriors were still fighting. Lin Zhen even saw several black-skinned Africa War God holding their ground and killing a large number of Mutated Beast. However, a Mutated Lion with three heads, bigger than Armored Vehicle, suddenly leaped onto the city wall. The three big heads pounced several times in succession, and the three War God died on the spot, leaving no corpses behind.

"S-Class Mutated Beast! This lion is an S-class Mutated Beast!" Gongsun Du's eyes narrowed as he spoke.

After devouring several War God, the lion roared to the sky. Then, satellite images appeared, showing countless Mutated Beast covering the sky and stretching to the far reaches of the horizon.

Today, I'm adding a second chapter as a bonus, especially for the book's author (Chopped Chili Fish Head, Old Duck Soup).
