God of War Arena, Heavenly Garden (Third Update)

Lin Zhen hadn't been to the Millennial Time Bar for three years. The interior decoration remained unchanged, and the number of martial artists coming here was still very large.

In a corner of the lobby on the first floor, Lin Zhen and Yang Jianying were drinking together.

Yang Jianying handed a document to Lin Zhen. "Brother Lin, take a look. Right now, we at Azure Sky don't have anything else to offer, so these are the only conditions we have. If you agree, sign it, and you'll be a member of Azure Sky."

Lin Zhen took the document from Yang Jianying and flipped through it a few times.

The information was nothing special; Lin Zhen was provided with a villa, the largest and best in the entire Azure Sky, even better than the one Lin Zhen currently lives in.

However, the salary was pitifully low, only 500,000 per month, which was even less than that of an ordinary War General, and not at all the treatment of War God.

Yang Jianying said somewhat embarrassedly, "Brother Lin, I made a mistake back then and recruited a few Russia. Now my reputation is bad, my Martial Arts Hall is not well managed, and I don't have any businesses left. Besides, I know you are rich. You can spend 30 billion yuan in Capital City. You don't care about this little salary, do you?"

Lin Zhen smiled and said, "I think it's a good idea. I'll give the 500,000 yuan to my parents every month. Besides, Brother Yang gave me such a big villa."

"Of course, of course, it's a small compensation."

Seeing that Lin Zhen agreed and quickly signed, Yang Jianying considered the contract to be in effect.

Lin Zhen was somewhat emotional. In his previous life, he was a martial artist from the Azure Sky. He never expected that in this life, after all the twists and turns, he would return to the Azure Sky.

Yang Jianying took out his phone and dialed the registration office of the God of War Alliance: "This is Yang Jianying from Ice City Azure Sky. I'm registering our Martial Arts Hall's War God. Lin Zhen. Yes, yes, that's it."

After hanging up the phone. "Brother Lin, it's done. The timing is perfect. Registration would have closed an hour later."

"How many people have signed up for our Martial Arts Hall?" The Azure Sky in this life is very different from the Azure Sky that Lin Zhen knew in his previous life. There are almost no familiar faces here.

"To be honest, you're the only one who's signed up for Azure Sky right now. I was thinking that if we couldn't find anyone else, I'd have to take over myself. But thank goodness for you, otherwise I would have been so embarrassed."

Yang Jianying is only an Level Eight God of War now, and he is the head of the club. It is easy for him to be criticized for signing up. If he does not get good results, he will really lose face.

"Does the gym owner know if the rules for the God of War Arena have been finalized?"

"It's settled, it's all online."

Lin Zhen had been busy with her parents' affairs these past few days and hadn't seen anyone. She was also unaware of what was happening online, so she took out her phone to check.

Sure enough, the rules for the God of War Arena have been released.

All the War God in the world who are recommended can sign up. Each person will be given a Virtual Helmet and will enter Virtual Map to fight.

The location on the Virtual Map was proposed by the Starry Sky God Sect and jointly researched and decided upon by countries around the world; it is called the Heavenly Garden.

In the descriptions of the Starry Sky God Sect, the True God is incomparably enormous, like the Star Fruit Tree being just a small tree in his garden, and all the flowers and plants there are taller and more lush than the primeval forests on Earth.

High-altitude flight is prohibited within the garden. Even if you are Mind Power Master, the highest flight distance is only a dozen meters. This is to prevent Mind Power Master from taking shortcuts.

When everyone enters the garden, they will randomly appear in an edge area, which is a vast grassland with many Mutated Beast.

Crossing the grassland, you will enter a Flower Sea, but there are also countless dangers.

Beyond the Flower Sea lies a Creek, Creek is actually a large river, making this a very dangerous area.

After crossing the great river, the warriors are nearing the end of the Virtual Map. Once they cross this river, they will reach the final location on the Virtual Map: the Garden Cottage.

There are 1,024 spots in the cabin. Each War God who reaches the qualifying level can leave their name in one spot. Leaving their name means they have passed the Preliminary Round and can leave the Virtual Map.

The Virtual Map also contains fragments of gemstones, categorized into rubies, sapphires, and Yellow Gem.

Find ten Red Gem Fragment on the Virtual Map to exchange for a Low-Grade Star Weapon, and ten Blue Gem Fragment to exchange for Mid-Grade Star Artifact.

You can obtain Top-Grade Star Artifact by acquiring ten yellow Gem Fragment.

Even if you don't manage to collect Gem Fragment to exchange for Star Artifact, these Gem Fragment can still be recycled. Red Gem Fragment are recycled for 10 million each, Blue Gem Fragment for 100 million each, and Yellow Gem for 1 billion each.

This is mainly to provide a balance for those martial artists who failed to pass the Preliminary Round, since there are no rewards for those who did not pass the Preliminary Round. If they can obtain some Gem Fragment, it can be considered as compensation for them.

The final 1,024 who advanced have entered the Knockout Round. The Knockout Round will begin soon after the Preliminary Round.

Each time a player advances to the next round of the Knockout Round, they will receive a reward.

Entering the Knockout Round will reward you with one Low-Grade Star Weapon; placing in the top 512 will reward you with three Low-Grade Star Weapon.

If you reach the 256th place in the Knockout Round, you will receive five Low-Grade Star Weapon as a reward; if you reach the 128th place, you will receive one Mid-Grade Star Artifact.

Those who rank in the top 64 will receive three Mid-Grade Star Artifact, and those who rank in the top 32 will receive five Mid-Grade Star Artifact.

Entering the top Top 16 will earn you a Top-Grade Star Artifact, and entering the Top 8 will earn you three Top-Grade Star Artifact.

Entering the top four will reward you with five Top-Grade Star Artifact, and entering the final competition for the championship will reward you with one Top-Grade Star Artifact.

The Champion will receive an additional Top-Grade Star Artifact.

Of course, there is a time interval between the Preliminary Round and the Knockout Round. The Knockout Round officially begins three months after the Preliminary Round end.

The Preliminary Round will not begin for another three months. During this time, the God of War Alliance will need to debug the Virtual World system and improve the map.

"The battle will start in three months?" Lin Zhen looked at the rules and was secretly excited. If he could pass the Preliminary Round and make it into the top four in this battle, he would almost certainly be able to collect ten Top-Grade Star Artifact.

"Yes, a month from now. But if I may be frank, Brother Lin, while your strength is considerable, your cultivation level is still a bit too low. I know you were invincible in the Warrior Stage and General Stage. But the world of War God is different; the gap between Advanced God of War and low-level War God is significant. Your current Late Level Three strength is still somewhat insufficient. It's almost impossible for you to achieve a good ranking in the competition; even passing the Preliminary Round might be a problem."

Lin Zhen nodded. Of course he knew this. Level Three God of War was no match for a Advanced God of War. With his current strength, Lin Zhen could defeat most Intermediate God of War, and he wasn't afraid of even elite War God. But what about Advanced God of War? What about elite and Advanced God of War?

In his opinion, let alone himself now, even if someone like Yue Zhenhua, who is at the Quasi-Star Realm, participated in this World God of War Tournament, he would definitely not win the Champion, and might not even make it into the top four.

In Lin Zhen's memory, other countries had several exceptionally powerful War God who would surely stand out in this competition.

There are still three months until the Preliminary Round begin, and another three months until the knockout stage begins after the Preliminary Round Knockout Round. Lin Zhen's primary task right now is to improve his strength and ensure that he can advance from the Preliminary Round.

However, once you reach the War God realm, it's not so easy to quickly improve your strength. Lin Zhen began to recall his memories from his previous life, wondering where he could go to make his strength advance by leaps and bounds.

Seeing Lin Zhen deep in thought, Yang Jianying didn't dwell on it. He simply said to Lin Zhen, "Brother, I won't say much more. Just go for it. There aren't many people in Azure Sky right now. I still have faith in your potential. Even if you don't perform well in this God of War Tournament, you'll definitely have amazing performances in the future."

"Thank you very much, Master."

"Stop calling me 'master,' I'm leaving now. The helmet will be delivered to your home tomorrow, and you can wear it on time in three months."

"Okay, there's one more thing. Now that I'm the War God of the Azure Sky Martial Hall, I'm qualified to venture into the Ancient God Ruins, right?"

"Of course you are qualified, but the Ancient God Ruins are too dangerous. They are the hardest-hit areas when Meteor Shower fall. The environment inside is harsh. Moreover, there are only two Ancient God Ruins closest to our north: Changbai Mountain and Wudalianchi. If you really want to go, I suggest you go to Changbai Mountain to try your luck. It's best to find a few more companions. If you stay on the outer perimeter and don't go too deep, you might have a chance to obtain one or two Star Artifact."

"What if I said I wanted to go to Wudalianchi?" Lin Zhen asked with a smile.

"What! Go to Wudalianchi! Are you crazy? There's nothing fun there. They don't produce any Star Artifact, and the lowest grade of the Mutated Poison Worms there are B-Class. Going there is no different from courting death. You should give up on this idea."

"Hehe, I was just joking with the curator, I know my limits."

"That's good. But don't be reckless. If anything happens to you, there will be no one left in my Azure Sky."

"I understand. I have one more favor to ask of you, Master. I bought Vitality Potion for my parents so they can start training again. Could you please find two Warrior Level instructors to supervise their training?"

"Vitality Potion? You can afford that stuff! You're awesome, bro!" Yang Jianying gave Lin Zhen a thumbs up. This was a small matter; he could even help Lin Zhen move without any problem.

Yang Jianying acted quickly, and the next day, Lin Zhen's family moved from the villa at the Raging Wind Martial Hall to the villa at the Azure Sky Martial Hall.

This villa is the biggest and best, and now there's hardly anyone in Azure Sky. The surrounding Villa District is deserted, like Lin Zhen's private territory.

The two Level Nine Warrior sent by Yang Jianying arrived quickly, one male and one female, to teach Lin Liye and Li Qin cultivation respectively, striving to help them enter the General Stage as soon as possible.

Lin Zhen also gave a lot of money and delivered all kinds of training equipment and medicinal herbs for cultivation, trying his best not to let his parents be delayed in their cultivation process because of these things.

After arranging everything, Lin Zhen called An Ning, but An Ning's personal assistant answered the phone, saying that An Ning had been arranged by her family to leave Ice City two years ago and no one knew where she went.

Lin Zhen called Su Mingyue again. Su Mingyue told Lin Zhen that Gongsun Du wanted to give her a secret training session to help her become more competitive in the God of War Arena. She didn't know how the training would be conducted.

After exchanging a few words with Su Mingyue, Lin Zhen hung up the phone.

With the expert training from Gongsun Du Meteor Stage, it's easy to imagine that Su Mingyue's progress will be rapid, so Lin Zhen can't afford to delay.

His goal is Wudalianchi, something he has been thinking about for a long time.

Today's first bonus chapter is for the newly Helm Master of this book (Brother Cheng Reads Books and Picks Up Girls), to settle one debt. There are still four chapters owed, and more will follow.
