Young Parents

Lin Zhen let Zhao Liang and the others in. When Lin Zhen's parents heard that her friends had come, they immediately prepared two more dishes.

When Zhao Liang and his group entered, they first greeted Lin Zhen's parents, and then went to the study together.

Upon entering the study, Shi Lei said angrily, "That Tong Yuehu actually kicked Lin Zhen out. I knew that kid wouldn't come up with anything good."

Lin Zhen looked at the three people. Three years had passed, and none of them had reached the War God realm. Shi Lei and Zhao Liang were Level Nine War General, and Gao Yan was Level Eight War General. Moreover, none of them had Dantian Qi compression.

The top experts from back then have now been far surpassed by Lin Zhen.

Gao Yan continued, "I think it's good that Raging Wind Lin Zhen isn't here. Lin Zhen, your donation in Capital City today was so admirable. Now there are many martial artists supporting you online. Yue Zhenhua has completely lost face this time, and many people are saying that Raging Wind is not doing well."

Lin Zhen nodded. "I hope this matter won't affect you."

Zhao Liang waved his hand. "Brother Lin, we've known each other for several years, so let's skip the formalities. None of us are even War God, so we won't be affected at all. It's the higher-ups who will be affected. You don't know that as soon as your donation came out, Tong Yuehu immediately organized a meeting of War God, as if they were going to go all out to compete for the God General Arena."

Lin Zhen then asked, "Have you figured out the rules for the God General Arena yet?"

"It seems to be about time. I heard there are two stages, Preliminary Round and Knockout Round. It uses virtual technology. Any War God recommended by the Martial Arts Hall, Church, military, or Base City can sign up. Each signed War God will receive a Virtual Helmet that connects to brainwaves to enter the Virtual World and fight in the Virtual World."

"Yes, I've also heard about the use of virtual technology, and this technology connects the whole world. At that time, we will not only be able to see the War God of War from Huaxia, but also God of God of War Level masters from all over the world. However, we won't have that opportunity." Gao Yan smiled.

"Yes, this God of War Arena is jointly organized by seven countries around the world. It not only determines the ranking of each country in the World God of War Alliance, but also provides generous rewards for War God perform exceptionally well."

"What reward?"

"I heard it's Star Artifact reward, and there are quite a few ways to get it. I think you get a reward just for passing the Preliminary Round, and the higher your ranking in the Knockout Round, the more rewards you get. We'll have to wait and see for the specifics."

Upon hearing about the Star Artifact reward, Lin Zhen's eyes lit up. The higher the ranking, the more Star Artifact are awarded. He had to participate in this God of War Arena, as he needed it to repair the Star Gazing Mirror.

Zhao Liang added, "Lin Zhen, you don't have Martial Arts Hall recommendation right now, so you can't participate in the God of War Arena. You must find another Martial Arts Hall immediately. The registration deadline is only three days. It would be such a pity if you couldn't register."

Lin Zhen shook his head. "This Martial Arts Hall is hard to find. Raging Wind kicked me out, and most Martial Arts Hall Martial Arts Hall wouldn't dare to take me in. Maybe Changfeng and Dragon Slayer would, but both of them have a grudge against me and would be busy kicking me when I'm down. How could they possibly take me in?"

"As for the military, government, and Church, they all require recommending their own people. I have neither joined the military nor entered politics, nor am I a clergy member, so my status is not qualified, and there is no possibility for me."

Zhao Liang and the others fell silent; they really couldn't be of any help in this matter.

Finally, Shi Lei thought for a moment and said, "Lin Zhen, I think there's a Martial Arts Hall that might accept you, but it depends on whether you're willing to go."

"Which Martial Arts Hall?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Azure Sky!"

After Shi Lei finished speaking, Zhao Liang was stunned for a moment. "Azure Sky, currently ranked tenth? This won't do. That Martial Arts Hall doesn't have a good reputation. Although they've behaved themselves a lot in the last two years, Martial Arts Hall still have a grudge against Lin Zhen. How can they take him in?"

Shi Lei shook his head. "You're wrong. Azure Sky might actually take Lin Zhen in. That Martial Arts Hall doesn't have any God of War Level experts besides Yang Jianying anymore. They're just barely surviving in Ice City. They've given up and are recruiting War God everywhere, but no one's interested. If Lin Zhen goes, it might be a lifesaver. I believe Yang Jianying won't hold a grudge about the past. After all, he also wants the Martial Arts Hall to have a good future. I think recruiting the Russia is understandable."

Zhao Liang looked at Lin Zhen: "Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Lin Zhen thought for a moment and nodded, "Go, why not go? Anyway, I'm all alone now, so it doesn't matter which Martial Arts Hall I go to. What matters is that I participate."

"Okay, since you agree, I'll make the connections for you." Shi Lei patted his chest confidently.

Just then, the food downstairs was ready, and Lin Zhen invited a few old friends to have a drink together. Shi Lei and the others didn't come empty-handed either, bringing plenty of delicious food and wine. The group had a meal with Lin Liye, and everyone enjoyed themselves.

During the meal, Lin Zhen brought up the possibility of moving, because he was no longer a member of Raging Wind, and the villa would be taken back in a few days, so he needed to move to a different place.

Zhao Liang immediately told Lin Zhen that there were plenty of vacant villas at the Azure Sky Martial Hall, and if Lin Zhen's deal was finalized, she could move there.

After the meal, Zhao Liang and the others said goodbye, and Lin Zhen returned to the living room and took out the Vitality Potion for her parents.

"Mom and Dad, drink these two bottles of this stuff, and I'll help you regulate your body over the next few days. It will make you look years younger, and you might even be able to start learning martial arts."

Lin Liye and Li Qin stared at the Vitality Potion in disbelief, never imagining that such a miraculous thing existed in the world.

In this era, almost everyone has a dream of becoming a martial artist, but they simply don't have the means to do so. They can only live ordinary lives, thinking that this is how their lives will be. Unexpectedly, when they are old, their son tells them that they can still learn martial arts and even become martial artists. How can they not be surprised?

Li Qin hesitated for a moment and said, "Can we do it? I did think about learning martial arts when I was young, but I'm so old now..."

"Mom, don't worry. This potion can restore the vitality of human cells. After you drink it, although you won't become geniuses, I promise that you will be able to live a long and healthy life. However, you will have to work hard. You won't be able to play mahjong or go for walks anymore. You will have to train hard."

Lin Zhen is right. Even though Lin Liye and Li Qin have their own care and don't need to worry about resources, it still takes a lot of hard work for a warrior to advance to the level of War General.

Seeing Li Qin still hesitating, Lin Liye grabbed a bottle of Vitality Potion: "What are you still hesitating for? Don't you want to live a few more years? Putting everything else aside, by the time your son gets married and you have grandchildren, you won't even be able to take care of your children anymore. I want to spend a few more years with my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ideally, I'll have a house full of children and grandchildren in the future. For that reason alone, I'd drink this potion even if it were poison."

After saying that, Lin Liye drank the Vitality Potion in one gulp.

Hearing this, Li Qin's eyes immediately hardened. "That's right, my daughter-in-law is so beautiful. If we go shopping together, she'll make me look like an old woman. I, as her mother-in-law, can't be too bad off. It's just cultivation, right? For my daughter-in-law and my grandson, I'll do my best."

Li Qin also drank the Vitality Potion in one gulp.

Hearing the reason why the two elders wanted to learn martial arts, Lin Zhen was both amused and exasperated. If it weren't for Su Mingyue, they probably wouldn't have wanted to drink the potion. But this was for the best, as it would strengthen their confidence in learning martial arts. They didn't need to achieve great things; they just needed to reach a certain level to extend their lifespan.

After taking the Vitality Potion, Lin Liye and Li Qin's bodies began to change. As they aged, their bodily functions declined and their cells deteriorated. Now, with the injection of the potion, they began to regain their vitality. This process required guidance, so Lin Zhen closed the door to the house and refused to receive any visitors, focusing on taking care of her parents.

Cell recovery is a painful process. Lin Zhen originally thought that her parents might not be able to persevere, but whenever her parents were about to give up, they comforted themselves by thinking of their daughter-in-law and grandson, and actually managed to persevere through the process.

For two whole days, Lin Zhen stayed at home, taking care of the two elders without any distractions. After two days, the effects of the Vitality Potion were fully absorbed, and the two elders looked completely different.

Lin Liye's back is no longer bent, his hair is no longer white, Li Qin's cold legs are cured, and the wrinkles on her skin have disappeared. She looks almost twenty years younger, and people would believe she is under thirty.

Lin Zhen looked at her father with a smile, "Dad, look how young and handsome you are now. If we go out together and say you're my brother, people will believe it."

"You brat, are you asking for a beating?!" Lin Liye said this, but he was also very smug as he looked at himself in the mirror. He had never felt so good before. He felt full of power, and he was now really eager to learn martial arts.

Li Qin changed into a new outfit and squeezed past Lin Liye to look at herself in the mirror. "This feels like a dream! I feel like I've gone back to my early twenties, before I got married. Old man, don't I look beautiful?"

"Beautiful, like a fairy!" Lin Liye complimented shamelessly.

Actually, both Li Qin and Lin Liye are good-looking; otherwise, Lin Zhen wouldn't be so handsome. If they went back to their younger days, they would both be considered top-tier in terms of looks.

Li Qin twisted her body a couple of times. "I wouldn't dare call myself a fairy, only my future daughter-in-law is qualified. But compared to the people we know, I, Li Qin, am confident I can outshine them. Don't you think we should go out for a walk and see if anyone still recognizes us?"

Lin Liye was also somewhat tempted, and the elderly couple were so excited that they actually went out shopping.

Lin Zhen didn't spoil their fun; once they got over this, they would focus on their cultivation.

The elderly couple had only been gone a short while when Shi Lei called, saying that he had contacted Yang Jianying, the master of the Azure Sky Yang Jianying School, and that he had agreed to let Lin Zhen join Azure Sky and, in the name of the tenth Martial Arts Hall school in Ice City Base City, recommended Lin Zhen to participate in the God General Arena.
