Yellow Gem Contest
The spring breeze gradually picked up at night, and a fine spring rain fell in the Heavenly Garden, making the night even darker.
At this time, anyone who possesses Gem Fragment emitting Treasure Light would not dare to walk in the darkness, for they would surely become a target for others to hunt.
Lin Zhen climbed up a tall peony and found a Blue Gem Fragment in the Stamen.
"Phew! I thought there would be a lot of Gem Fragment in the garden, but I can't just carelessly knock down the flowers and plants anymore. Searching here is not as fast as searching in the grass."
Under these circumstances, Lin Zhen could no longer act with the same impunity as he had on the grassland, and his search for gems became increasingly slower.
Moreover, in the darkness of night, the sounds of fighting could be heard from afar. The night rain could not dampen the War God ' enthusiasm for finding the Gem Fragment, and battles broke out frequently.
Leaning against the petals, gazing at the night sky, I heard screams coming from afar.
"Another person died, it's quite a lively fight."
He closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. He didn't know how much time had passed when he felt someone climb up from the other side of the peony flower.
He opened his eyes and immediately launched an attack with Lin Zhen Tyrant Spear!
The other side was also alert. The two attacked almost simultaneously. Lin Zhen's Tyrant Spear clashed with the opponent's Long Sword, producing a crisp sound. Both felt that the other was troublesome, and then each took a step back.
"Lin Zhen?" the person on the other end of the line asked.
"Are you... Duo Long?" Lin Zhen also saw the person opposite him. He had seen him in the promotional poster. Duo Long, the War God of War from Changfeng Ice City.
Lin Zhen was still somewhat wary of the Long Wind Martial Arts Academy. Duo Long was a member of Changfeng and also Hall of Fame Member. Lin Zhen had to be careful that the other party might try to harm him.
Lin Zhen's intense Treasure Light, in particular, makes him a potential target for others.
Duo Long's Treasure Light was also quite strong. Seeing Lin Zhen's wary movements, he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't fight. We are all Huaxia. There are foreigners everywhere here. We shouldn't kill each other."
Lin Zhen sensed a hint of sincerity in Duo Long's tone and slowly lowered the Tyrant Spear: "If that's the case, then of course it would be best."
Glancing at the Duo Long Treasure Light emanating from Duolong, Lin Zhen asked, "You didn't obtain any yellow Gem Fragment either?"
Like himself, Duo Long was also surrounded by red and blue light.
"No, these yellow Gem Fragment are too hard to find. I've met quite a few people, and none of them have obtained Yellow Gem." Duo Long sat down.
"I think it must be in a rather dangerous place," Lin Zhen said.
"That should be the case, but it will be dawn soon. If we can't get the Yellow Gem by summer, we'll have to leave. We must reach the Creek by autumn, otherwise we might not be able to get a spot in the next round."
Lin Zhen nodded, indicating her agreement with Duo Long's words.
Duo Long hesitated for a moment, then said, "Lin Zhen, we are not familiar with each other, but I have a question for you."
"Speaking."
"There are rumors that your girlfriend is Su Mingyue, the God Sect Saintess. Is that true?"
Lin Zhen glanced at Duo Long, sensing that he didn't seem to have any ill intentions, and that there was nothing shameful about the matter, so she nodded. "Yes."
"Yes, I really envy you. But Lin Zhen, I also grew up in Ice City and am several years older than you. When I was young, I was sponsored by the An Corporation. I know An Ning, the Young Miss of the An Corporation, and I also know some of the stories between you two."
"An Ning! Where is she?" Lin Zhen hadn't seen An Ning for a long time and didn't even know her current situation. Hearing news of An Ning for the first time, he was pleasantly surprised.
Duo Long shook his head. "I don't know where An Ning went either. She left Ice City three years ago, and the An Corporation keeps her whereabouts a secret. They never tell anyone, but..."
Duo Long paused for a moment, then Lin Zhen took a deep breath. "Please tell me her whereabouts."
"What good would it do to tell you? Don't you already have Su Mingyue?" Duo Long said indifferently.
Lin Zhen looked up at the night sky. "I never said I would give up on An Ning. Even if you hadn't told me, I would have found her sooner or later."
"You mean... you still like An Ning?" Duo Long asked tentatively.
"I have nothing to say. You can talk if you want, or leave if you don't. I will find her Tianya she is." Lin Zhen closed her eyes.
"Alright, it seems you still like her." Duo Long sighed helplessly. "Then I'll tell you. Before the God of War Arena started, I went to the An Corporation and overheard someone saying that their Young Miss had returned. I paid close attention and indeed saw An Ning."
"You really saw her?" Lin Zhen opened her eyes wide.
"Of course, it's only been three years, An Ning has already become War God. I have a feeling that if we really fought, I might not be her match."
"An Ning has advanced to the War God? She's back? But why doesn't she show up?"
"I don't know about that. I originally thought she would participate in the God of War Arena. I also checked all the people who signed up in Ice City, and An Ning's name was not among them. This is a bit strange."
Duo Long that, Duolong jumped off the flowers. "Alright, that's all I know. Maybe you'll meet again someday. I'm leaving now."
Duo Long's figure disappeared into the darkness, but Lin Zhen remained seated.
So, the person who left a message for me in the DC District must be An Ning, but where is she?
Lin Zhen never expected that An Ning had become so powerful that even Duo Long, the Hall of Fame's War God, felt that he was no match for her. What had she gone through in the past few years?
Lin Zhen closed her eyes and quietly meditated, regulating her breathing.
After a night of wind and rain, as dawn broke, the rising sun shone a ray of morning light, signaling the arrival of summer.
As Lin Zhen gazed at the Flower Sea, she felt as if, in the instant the sunlight shone, a golden light shimmered in the distance.
"Yellow Gem!"
Lin Zhen suddenly stood up and ran straight towards the source of the golden light.
It wasn't just Lin Zhen who made the discovery; many other War God also saw it and emerged from their hiding places, quickly Mercedes-Benz through the Flower Sea.
About twenty minutes later, Lin Zhen arrived at the place emitting the golden light.
When he arrived, a large crowd had already gathered, all looking up at him.
Lin Zhen looked up and finally realized where the Yellow Gem was.
A Sunflower, as thick as dozens of people could hug, towered high into the sky. Its enormous flower head faced the sun, and occasionally, golden light would flash within it—those were Gem Fragment.
"Sunflower! So it's Sunflower! So Yellow Gem is born from basking in the sun, and Sunflower are where the sun shines the most—that's where Yellow Gem grows!"
The martial artists were getting restless. Ten yellow Gem Fragment could make a Top-Grade Star Artifact. Even if they couldn't collect all ten, each fragment was worth a billion. If they got one, their trip to Heavenly Garden would not have been in vain.
Some War God couldn't contain themselves and wanted to retrieve the Yellow Gem.
Because flying is prohibited in Heavenly Garden, you can't fly to places that are too high up; you have to climb.
Two War God arrived first and had already climbed onto the main trunk. The people below thought they might be about to get the lion's share, but suddenly the two men screamed and fell off the main trunk.
The two people were completely black, and they turned into light and disappeared before they even landed.
"The Sunflower's stem is covered in caterpillars!"
Someone shouted, and people then discovered that many huge caterpillars were crawling on the main stem, slowly surging upwards.
Each of these caterpillars is about the size of a yacht, and their black and yellowish-brown hairs look like they contain deadly poison, making people shudder at the sight of them.
These creatures are enormous, poisonous, and numerous; there's no way to get through here on the main trunk.
People's eyes fell on the morning Morning Glory all around.
Because Sunflower grow so tall, they are almost the tallest plants in the Heavenly Garden, and many Morning Glory climb on Sunflower, forming green corridors around them.
"What are we waiting for! Let's go!"
A War God from the African Union was the first to climb a flowering vine and sped upwards.
As soon as he moved, many people around him started to move as well.
There were more than a dozen vines hanging around this Sunflower, and the hundreds of War God present rushed out to find the nearest vine to climb.
Just as the African Union's War God climbed up and passed a Morning Glory, the Morning Glory's huge trumpet-shaped mouth suddenly seemed to bite down like a giant mouth.
The African Union's War God had no time to dodge and was immediately devoured by the Morning Glory.
A flash of white light appeared quickly, and the War God was eliminated. Gem Fragment fell down, mostly red, with a few blue.
The War God behind him did not retreat because of his death, and the Morning Glory were not necessarily unable to avoid it. Moreover, the brilliance of the Yellow Gem had already aroused the desires deep in people's hearts, and they continued to advance one after another.
Lin Zhen also moved, first leaping into the air, rising to a height of more than ten meters, then quickly climbing, and just as he was about to catch up with the last person, Teleport!
The higher you go, the weaker the Teleport becomes; Lin Zhen's Teleport only took him a dozen meters.
Teleport again!
After going another seven or eight meters, Lin Zhen finally overtook the War God ranked ahead of him.
Teleport was no longer possible in this no-fly zone, so Lin Zhen began to climb rapidly.
A Brazil War God behind him shouted. He was originally in first place, but Lin Zhen suddenly overtook him. How could he accept this? He drew a long sword and was about to attack Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen suddenly turned his hand around, and countless electric rays surged forth. The Energy Ball rolled down mercilessly, knocking the War God off the flower vine!
Lin Zhen wasn't the only one doing this; many powerful War God had begun eliminating their rivals.
One by one, the weaker War God were defeated by them. The struggle for the Yellow Gem on the Sunflower could only be a battlefield for the masters.
First update, a big release today.
