The Secret of Lightning Wings (Third Update)

After obtaining the Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen left Ice City the next day and headed to Yilan County.

Yilan poses no danger to Lin Zhen at the moment. Even if the A-Rank Mutated Beast, the Giant Palm Human Bear, came to Lin Zhen, Lin Zhen could easily kill it with a single shot.

His purpose in coming here was because no War God experts would come here, so he could focus on studying the Lightning Wings in peace.

Three days later, on the top floor of Yilan Mall, Lin Zhen returned to the place where she had stayed before and sat cross-legged on the rooftop.

The wings of the Lightning Wings unfolded behind him, and strands of Lightning Ions power entered the Lightning Wings.

The Lightning Wings were right behind Lin Zhen, swaying gently in the wind, with crackling arcs of electricity leaping across them—the result of being nurtured by Lightning Ions.

"Based on what I know from my past life and my current research, I roughly understand that the advancement of the Lightning Wings requires constant nurturing with elemental power. Only when each elemental power nurtures it to saturation can it advance."

"This advancement is a long process. Based on my preliminary assessment, Lightning Wings's advancement will involve approximately six stages."

"First, there's his current state, which is the initial state. After three days of effort, I've injected some Lightning Ions, and his speed is already subsonic. Once we can accelerate to twice the speed of sound, we'll enter the first stage."

"If I can fill it with the power of Lightning Ions and saturate it, and then inject the power of Charged Particles, its speed can probably be increased to ten times the speed of sound. That would be advancing to the second stage. At that time, the Lightning Wings would be a Top-Grade Star Artifact."

At the speed of sound, which is 340 meters per second, if the Lightning Wings are upgraded to Top-Grade Star Artifact, they can accelerate Lin Zhen by 3400 meters per second. At that time, Lin Zhen's flight speed will be on par with his Black Phantom.

"This should only be the second stage. If I complete the nourishment of the Lightning Wings with Charged Particles and break through with the power of Lightning Photon, it will continue to advance and reach the speed of sound a hundred times faster. At that time, the Lightning Wings will be no longer Star Artifact and will advance to the third stage, becoming a higher-level treasure."

Accelerating at 100 times the speed of sound for 34,000 meters per second, which is more than 30 kilometers, would be much faster than Teleport.

Of course, Teleport also has Teleport advantages. As Lin Zhen's Mental Power continues to improve, the distance Teleport is getting farther and farther. In the future, he will definitely have unlimited potential and be much more flexible.

"After the third stage, if I can still nurture and saturate the power of the Lightning Photon, and then break through with the power of the Radiance Particles, then I can reach a thousand times the speed of sound, increasing the speed by 340,000 meters per second, which is 300 kilometers per second. That would be the fourth stage."

"The fifth stage should be when the power of the Radiance Particles is fully charged, and the power of the Lightning Atom is used to break through. At that time, the power of the Lightning Wings can reach ten thousand times the speed of sound, which is commonly known as the Sub-light Speed. The speed will increase by 3.4 million meters per second, which is more than 3,000 kilometers per second."

"The sixth stage should be when the Lightning Atom power is fully charged, and the power of the Radiance Atoms breaks through. When it reaches the peak, it should be able to achieve the acceleration of the speed of light, increasing the speed by 300,000 kilometers per second."

Lin Zhen couldn't help but smile as he thought about the speed of light.

Lin Zhen spent three days, and the Lightning Wings were still a little short of reaching the speed of sound. He didn't know how long it would take to complete the first stage, and it might take tens of thousands of years to complete the speed of light increase, but he was still happy.

He wasn't afraid of a long cultivation period; he was afraid of having no hope. As long as there was hope, Lin Zhen felt he could achieve it even if he sat in meditation for a thousand years.

The Dark Star within his body slowly circulated, and wisps of Lightning Ions overflowed from within, flowing into the Lightning Wings.

It was a long process. After three days, Lin Zhen finally sensed that the Lightning Wings were about to reach the speed of sound, with a small breakthrough.

"I need to increase my output and try to get the Lightning Wings to supersonic speed today, then head to the Wudalianchi as soon as possible. There are still three pools there that I haven't explored yet."

Having figured out how to nurture the Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen began to Lightning Ion Acceleration. Since Dark Star existed, as long as he didn't exhaust all the Lightning Ions at once, they would continue to grow endlessly.

********

On the outskirts of Yilan County, a small team of martial artists was making a difficult march.

This is a standard squad configuration, consisting of three Beginner War General and two Level Nine Warrior. Their Armored Vehicle is parked on the outskirts of the county town, and the group is advancing on foot.

After a fierce battle, several mutated sika deer fell at the feet of the team, but the team members were also exhausted.

"Phew! What's going on? The Mutated Beast have become increasingly ferocious lately. These sika deer were never this aggressive before. I feel like they're about to advance in rank; they don't even seem like C-Rank Mutated Beast anymore."

"I felt it too. These past two months, the Mutated Beast have seemed a bit abnormal. Could it be that monsters are about to attack the city?"

"We're not afraid of attacking the city. Our Ice City is now impregnable. Not only is our army strong, but we also have many super War God, such as Lin Zhen from our Azure Sky. I think as long as he's there, there will be absolutely no problem."

These martial artists all wore badges of the Azure Sky Martial Hall on their chests, and their faces showed pride.

Since Lin Zhen advanced a few days ago and took first place on the Slaughter List in the Preliminary Round, the Azure Sky Martial Hall has become popular again in Ice City. In the past few days, martial artists have been joining in droves, and even some War God have joined. Yang Jianying was overjoyed. Recruiting Lin Zhen was indeed the right decision.

The original warriors War General of Azure Sky also became smug, feeling superior to others when they walked outside. If Lin Zhen could achieve good results in the God of War Arena, Azure Sky might be able to surpass Raging Wind and become the First Martial Hall in Ice City.

There were two Level Nine Warrior in the team, both recently recruited by Azure Sky. One was rather taciturn, while the other was more lively. Watching the War General discuss, the other looked on with envy. "Seniors, how old do you think Senior Lin Zhen is?"

"Hey kid, are you from Mars? There are propaganda posters all over the city, haven't you seen Lin Zhen, who's number one on the Slaughter List? He's the youngest and most handsome one."

"Ah! That's Lin Zhen? I've been so busy cultivating these past few days that I haven't really noticed. He looks so young, probably around my age." The student's face showed an incredulous expression.

"How old are you this year?" a War General asked, smoking a cigarette.

"I'm nineteen, and I estimate I'll be able to break through to the General Stage in another six months." The academy was quite proud of this.

"Hmph, what's there to brag about at nineteen years War General? Senior Lin Zhen is only twenty years old, and he's already a level five War God. This is unprecedented in the history of Ice City. At this stage, only the Holy Maiden of the Divine Cult can compare to Lin Zhen."

"A level 5 War God at twenty? My god! He must not have compressed his Dantian Qi, right?"

"Bullshit! How can you compete in the World God of War Arena without compressing your Dantian Qi? Legend has it that Senior Lin Zhen compressed his Dantian Qi tenfold." The War General stretched out his hand, spread his five fingers, and gestured back and forth, meaning ten times.

"This is unbelievable! Compressing your Dantian Qi takes a lot of time, how did he do it?" The warrior could hardly believe it.

"No wonder he's a genius. He's a sure thing to advance to the Stellar Realm in the future. He's the hope of our Ice City. So with Senior Lin Zhen here, we don't need to worry about monster attacks. We should focus on cultivating and making money. With this prestigious reputation, no one will dare to mess with us even in the Wilderness Area."

Just as the group was having a heated discussion, a figure appeared on the small building next door.

Hearing them repeatedly praising Lin Zhen, this man finally couldn't hold back any longer and jumped off the small building, yelling, "You lot, shut up!"

The War General were startled and quickly turned around, each holding a sword and looking at the newcomer.

The newcomer was a Level Nine God of War, wielding a Long Sword and his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

"Ah! You're Bai Feng!" Someone recognized the War God in front of them.

God of War Level experts rarely venture into such Wilderness Area anymore; they usually explore ancient Ancient God Ruins instead. But Bai Feng is different. He specializes in wandering around various Wilderness Area, competing for food with these War General -Warrior Level teams. Behind his back, many people curse him.

Despite the insults, he didn't provoke the other War God, and War God couldn't cause him any trouble either. Even if these War General and warriors were dissatisfied, they couldn't do anything to him. They could only talk about his shamelessness behind his back, but they didn't dare to say it to his face.

The War General recognized Bai Feng stammered, "Senior Bai Feng, we didn't say anything bad about you."

"Yes, you didn't say anything bad about me, but you can't say Lin Zhen!"

Bai Feng angrily brandished his sword. "What Lin Zhen? He's nothing but a despicable scoundrel, a shameless thief! I investigated long ago. More than three years ago, Lin Zhen stole the Dark Energy Stone I had painstakingly obtained in Yilan County. He even created a diversion to mislead me. It was because of this Dark Energy Stone that he achieved what he has today. By the time I found out, he had already gone to the God General Training Camp and had even qualified for the God of War Arena Knockout Round. All this honor should have been mine! He's just a thief!"

Seeing Bai Feng's agitated state, the War General dared not speak, fearing that angering this guy would be a greater loss than gain.

There were two warriors in the team. The one who was more reserved suddenly burst out. "You're talking nonsense! You were War God master three years ago, right? Back then, Senior Lin Zhen was just a warrior. How could he steal your things? If something can be stolen, it means it didn't belong to you. You're not allowed to insult my idol!"

Bai Feng paused for a moment, then looked at the soldier and sneered, "Oh! You really have a lot of nerve. What's your name? Speaking up for Lin Zhen like that, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"You wouldn't dare. My Wang Cheng, and my classmates all call me Brother Cheng. I'm from Azure Sky, and Senior Lin Zhen is also from Azure Sky. Aren't you afraid that Senior Lin will deal with you?" This soldier was not afraid at all.

"Bah! You think I'm afraid of that scoundrel? Fine, I'll kill you today and see if Lin Zhen dares to come after me for revenge!" With that, Bai Feng raised his Long Sword, ready to strike!

The others were terrified; they dared not stop Bai Feng if he made a move.

Bai Feng raised his sword, but couldn't help shielding his eyes with his hand, suddenly finding the sunlight particularly glaring.
