The Second Meteorite Eternal Crystal
Lin Zhen used to use Soul Lock only when the opponent was in a daze or under specific circumstances; he rarely used it to Soul Lock directly like this.
However, his Mental Power has now advanced to the Dark Gold Late Stage, which can be described as vast as the ocean. Coupled with the fact that his aura has reached its peak, he actually broke through Hansen's mental defense in one fell swoop.
Hansen stood there, twitching, his eyes glazed over. Lin Zhen slowly walked to his side, grabbed his collar, and stared straight into the depths of his soul.
"Tell me everything you know."
"My name is Hansen, and I come from Madrid Base City. I accepted an order online from someone in Ice City named Wei Li, who belongs to the Raging Wind Martial Hall. He offered 3 billion to kill you, and if you are captured alive, he can offer an additional 3 billion."
The assassin was supposed to keep the client's identity confidential, but unfortunately, under Lin Zhen's Soul Lock, everything could no longer be hidden.
"Are you an assassin organization?"
"Yes, our name is Nightingale. Our supreme leader is a Stellar Realm expert named John, but he never shows up. Currently, there are two leaders in the organization: the Young Miss whose true identity is unknown and the Zhang Kuang and powerful Al. I am subordinate to the Young Miss."
"Did you come alone?"
"There are two of us, and Alice too, but she went back. I'll call her after I go out and she'll come pick me up."
Lin Zhen asked around for a while and eventually learned some of the details.
According to Hassen, Nightingale appears to be a powerful assassin organization with internal strife. He and Alice are in a group under a leader known as the Young Miss.
He saw the quest posted by Raging Wind online, accepted it with Alice, and came to Ice City, only to find themselves in trouble.
After asking many more questions about European Union martial artists, Lin Zhen originally intended to finish off Hansen, but then he thought that someone whose Soul Lock would never betray him, so he simply gave up the idea.
Hansen is Level Seven God of War with Eightfold Compression Dantian Qi, and he is also a Dark Gold Stage Mind Power Master. His strength is very strong. It would be better to keep him and use him to collect the crystals of A-Rank Mutated Poison Worms.
Now is the golden period for collecting Poison Insect Crystal in Wudalianchi. Currently, only Lin Zhen is here. Once the Ministry of Science and Technology exposes the secret of the crystal formation, the place will be overcrowded.
At that time, the Mutated Poison Worms here were in short supply, and countless War God even lived here for a long time. Although the Mutated Poison Worms here were fierce, they could not stop the war War God who were eager to advance. The number of poisonous insects here was decreasing, and the War God could no longer advance at the speed that Lin Zhen was now.
Hansen was left to collect crystals nearby, while Lin Zhen continued onward to Yanshan Lake, the second Volcanic Lake lake in Wudalianchi.
The special Meteorite in the first Volcanic Lake is Mental Power Meteorite, which is used exclusively by Mind Power Master. The Meteorite in the second Volcanic Lake is also of great use to Lin Zhen.
The second Meteorite in Yanshan Lake contains a Diamond -like crystal inside.
This crystal is called the Eternal Crystal, and it is equivalent to the Diamond on Earth, being the most durable crystal on that broken planet.
This Eternal Crystal can be used to forge weapons, but flames cannot dissolve it. Only Lightning Ions can soften it. After softening, it can fuse with Liquid Metal, greatly increasing the strength of the Liquid Metal.
However, not everyone can master the power of Lightning Ions; in interstellar space, these Eternal Crystal are mostly regarded as expensive ornaments.
If Lin Zhen's Liquid Metal could be integrated into the Eternal Crystal, the solidified weapon would reach the strength of Top-Grade Star Artifact. However, this would be the limit of Liquid Metal, and Lin Zhen didn't know of any other way to further improve it.
Having a Top-Grade Star Artifact that can transform at any time would be of immense use to Lin Zhen at this stage, and its value even surpasses that of ordinary Top-Grade Star Artifact.
Moreover, this Eternal Crystal is the only one of its kind discovered on Earth to Lin Zhen's knowledge, and its value is immeasurable. Even if it were priced at hundreds of billions or trillions, someone would probably sell everything they own to buy it.
Therefore, we Lin Zhen must obtain this piece of Eternal Crystal.
However, when Lin Zhen arrived at Yanshan Lake, he encountered trouble.
There are no S-class Mutated Poison Worms in Yanshan Lake, but the water is full of a kind of crab with extremely strong vitality.
A-Rank Mutated Beast, the Swimming Crab!
These Swimming Crab are about the size of a small car, and their two huge pincers are so powerful they can cut through gold and jade. When Lin Zhen first entered Yanshan Lake, he was almost cut in half by a crab and couldn't even get close to the edge of the water.
Moreover, these crabs are not only found in the lake, but they can also run to the shore at supersonic speed to chase after you. They can also be launched dozens of meters away in an instant, and their numbers are frightening. If Lin Zhen hadn't been able to Teleport and fly, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to escape.
Lin Zhen later led Hansen in several attempts, but they could only kill a few scattered ones and were still unable to enter Yanshan Lake.
With two months to go before the start of the God of War Arena, Lin Zhen had no choice but to come up with a clumsy solution.
He had Hansen in charge of attracting crabs, and then he went into the water in a place with few crabs to look for the location of the Eternal Crystal.
Whenever a crab attacks Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen can use his Teleport, which has reached 100 meters, to escape instantly.
Although Yanshan Lake is quite large, it's still possible to explore one to two percent of its area each day. By slowly working at this pace, Lin Zhen believes he will eventually find the Eternal Crystal.
After each time Hansen would entangle a few of them, and then the two of them would kill them together after Lin Zhen Teleport over, obtaining the A-Rank crystals from them.
With these A-Rank crystals as a foundation, Lin Zhen's daily cultivation speed continued to advance by leaps and bounds, and he would even give some to Hansen, allowing Hansen's progress to improve slowly as well.
There were just too many crabs here. Even though Lin Zhen and Hansen absorbed the crabs, the number of crabs in Yanshan Lake didn't seem to decrease. In fact, Lin Zhen had even started storing A-Rank crystals. He could save about seven or eight A-Rank crystals every day and keep them in his Space Ring.
Days passed, and after a month and a half, a quarter of Yanshan Lake had been explored, and Lin Zhen's cultivation level had advanced from the early stage of the fourth level to the middle stage of the fourth level.
Two months later, Yanshan Lake was half explored. Lin Zhen had reached the Level Four Late Stage, while Hansen had actually reached the peak of level seven and was about to break through.
Hansen told Lin Zhen that Alice would probably come to pick him up by now, but Lin Zhen didn't let Hansen leave. Without Hansen, there would be no one to help him lure away the crabs, and he really couldn't do without him at this time. As for Alice, she could wait if she wanted to.
Two and a half months have passed, Lin Zhen has finally made another breakthrough, successfully advancing to the fifth level of War God. His combat power has soared again, and he has completed three-quarters of the exploration of Yanshan Lake. Unfortunately, he still has not found the Eternal Crystal.
Lin Zhen felt rather helpless about this. His luck was sometimes good and sometimes bad. Why was the Eternal Crystal hidden in the last quarter of the crystal?
With only five days left until the start of the God of War Arena, Hansen advanced to the Level Eight God of War, while Lin Zhen also made a significant step forward on the path to the early stage of the fifth level of War God. It is estimated that he will be able to advance to the middle stage of the fifth level in another ten or eight days.
At this moment, he finally found the Eternal Crystal.
He and Hansen had a campsite, and following the principle of searching from far to near, he started searching from the outer edge, but unexpectedly, the Eternal Crystal was in the waters closest to their campsite.
After finding the Eternal Crystal, Lin Zhen was both amused and exasperated. His situation was probably best described as going to great lengths instead of seeking what was readily available.
If he had found the Eternal Crystal, he might have gone to explore the third Volcanic Lake by now; instead, he wasted all his time here.
However, there were gains and losses. Not only did he obtain the Eternal Crystal, he also had a short period of time to cultivate in peace and stabilize his realm. Level Five War God Early Peak was already quite impressive.
Hansen's eyes began to light up as he looked at the Eternal Crystal in Lin Zhen's hand.
"Wow! This crystal is absolutely gorgeous. I guarantee it must be the most beautiful stone in the world, no, the most beautiful stone in the universe."
The Eternal Crystal was held in Lin Zhen's hand. She waved it at the sky, and even without sunlight shining in, it still emitted colorful light in Lin Zhen's hand, so beautiful that it seemed unreal.
Hansen also picked it up. "Lin Zhen, this colorful transparent stone is very heavy, at least a hundred kilograms."
"Yes, this stone has a very high density."
"What do you plan to do with it?"
"Forging weapons."
Hansen was taken aback. "Really? Can a weapon made of stone be sturdy?"
Lin Zhen smiled and said, "Put on your Star Artifact Armor."
A smooth flash appeared on Hansen's body, revealing Mid-Grade Star Artifact armor.
Lin Zhen took one of the sharp edges of the Eternal Crystal and slashed it at the mid-grade armor, actually creating a dent!
"My God! This stone is unbelievably hard! But Lin Zhen, how are you going to melt something this hard? Won't it vaporize if you burn it? We can't waste it."
"I have my own way, so don't worry about it. Get ready, we'll leave Wudalianchi in a day."
"I'll do whatever you say, Lin. It's strange, why do I like listening to you so much? It must be your personal charm that's captivating me." Hansen muttered to himself as he walked away.
The person whose Soul Lock is no different from an ordinary person, but he will never know that his Soul Lock, will not do anything to harm Lin Zhen, and will not reveal any of his secrets.
Hansen went to collect Crab Crystal again, while Lin Zhen took out Liquid Metal.
The Lightning Ions within the body began to surge out and inject into the Eternal Crystal.
A series of incredibly dazzling colored lights flashed, Eternal Crystal seemed to have encountered its natural nemesis, gradually softening.
The Liquid Metal around Lin Zhen's waist immediately covered it, mixing with the Eternal Crystal and gradually fusing together.
An hour later, Lin Zhen stood up.
With a flick of his wrist, a colorful metal object weighing 150 kilograms flew up, circled in the air, and then transformed back into a belt around Lin Zhen's waist.
However, the belt was too flashy, so Lin Zhen put a leather cover over it.
No one would have known that Lin Zhen possessed such a peerless weapon at his waist.
