A Low-Level Martial Artist's Gift (Fourth Update)

Not only Bai Feng saw it, but several warriors from the Azure Sky also saw it.

A streak of light is hurtling towards us at high speed in the distant sky!

"Holy crap! It's a shooting star! Get out of the way!"

One of the martial artists shouted and ran away into the distance.

The others also fled in panic, but a sense of sorrow welled up in their hearts. No matter how fast they ran, they couldn't possibly outrun a shooting star. This was just too unlucky, and their deaths were too unjust.

Bai Feng felt a little more at ease than the others. He was Level Nine God of War and had compressed his Dantian Qi three times. Although the meteor was powerful, its speed wasn't necessarily that fast. As long as he avoided the center of the meteor's impact, he might even find some good Meteorite.

Ignoring Wang Cheng, Bai Feng ran straight to the small building by the roadside and jumped up.

But the meteor hurtled toward him at an extremely high speed, its target very clear: him.

"That wasn't a shooting star! It was a person!"

Bai Feng shouted and vaguely saw the person's face, which looked like Lin Zhen!

Moreover, Lin Zhen was still saying something.

Bai Feng instinctively raised his sword to meet the enemy, but before he could even raise his hand, he was struck hard in the abdomen!

"Well!"

Bai Feng arched his back like a shrimp, and only then did Lin Zhen's words ring in his ears. "Dare to bully someone from Azure Sky? You're asking for death!"

Bai Feng collapsed to the ground, his body limp, but he was pondering a question: why did he see Lin Zhen open her mouth, but only hear her words after he was knocked down?

Lin Zhen barely remembered Bai Feng, but he didn't have a good impression of this kind of "wilderness War God".

It's one thing for War God not to venture into the Ancient God Ruins or pursue higher realms, but to roam the Wilderness Area and bully War General is something to be looked down upon.

Generally, when War God goes to the Wilderness Area, War God will only go in a team to hunt down S-Class Mutated Beast. A-Rank Mutated Beast don't interest War God at all, as there are plenty of them in the Ancient God Ruins.

It is extremely rare to see War God like Bai Feng, General Level and even Warrior Level.

Lin Zhen retracted his Lightning Wings instantly, his previous imposing appearance vanished, and he turned to look at the several stunned warriors War General: "Are you all from Azure Sky?"

"Ah! Senior Lin Zhen!" the group stammered, their minds reeling at the sight of such a legendary figure.

Lin Zhen did not reject the title. Among martial artists, titles do not depend on age, but on strength and realm. Lin Zhen War God, and they should respectfully call him senior. Besides, Lin Zhen's mental age is much older than theirs.

Not to mention those few, even Zhao Liang and his group should actually call Lin Zhen "senior" when they see him. However, since they are all very familiar with each other and their relationship is good enough, it doesn't matter what they call him.

Lin Zhen had just upgraded his Lightning Wings to the first stage, which already allowed him to accelerate to twice the speed of sound. In a good mood, he smiled and said, "How was it? The harvest here was pretty good, wasn't it?"

"Thank you for your concern, senior. We're alright. It's only been two days since we came out, and each of us will already be able to get several hundred thousand when we get back," a War General replied humbly.

"Yes, keep up the good work. The harvest here in Yilan should be pretty good, but don't be reckless. When you find B-Rank Mutated Beast, team up to hunt them. Pay attention to teamwork. Remember to stay away from the lair of A-Rank Mutated Beast. Those are not things you can handle."

"Don't worry, senior. We usually don't mess with B-Class enemies. Right now, we're mainly training the new recruits. Once those two advance to the War General and everyone works together well, then we'll go hunt down B-Class enemies."

"Very good, keep it up. The future of the Azure Sky Martial Hall still depends on you."

"As long as our senior is here, our Azure Sky will surely flourish." The young Level Nine Warrior said excitedly, clearly regarding Lin Zhen as his idol.

"What's your name?" Lin Zhen asked.

"Senior, my Wang Cheng." The soldier answered excitedly when his idol asked him a question.

"Hehe, I think I just heard you call yourself Brother Cheng. How about I call you Brother Cheng too?" Lin Zhen teased.

"No, I didn't dare. I was just trying to bolster my courage," Wang Cheng, somewhat embarrassed.

"It's alright, it's just a title. I heard what you said in defense of me just now. It's rare that you have such a thoughtful thought. I'll give you this as a gift, hoping it will help you make progress."

As Lin Zhen spoke, he took out a Low-Grade Star Weapon, a Long Sword, from his Space Ring.

This was just the worst of the Low-Grade Star Weapon Lin Zhen possessed, but for these warriors, it was an invaluable treasure.

"Star Artifact!" The martial artists were all dumbfounded.

Senior Lin Zhen is too generous, offering a Star Artifact right off the bat. Wang Cheng is just a mere Warrior Level; wouldn't taking this Star Artifact just invite trouble?

"Senior, this is too... too precious, I'm afraid..."

Hearing Wang Cheng's words, Lin Zhen realized that his actions were somewhat inappropriate. Just like Li Tianhao, he had no strength but still possessed Star Artifact, which would only cause trouble.

However, it's not easy to take back what's been taken out. Lin Zhen glanced around and grabbed Bai Feng, who was twitching from the beating he had given her.

With a sharp look in his eyes, he unleashed a Soul Lock.

Lin Zhen's Soul Lock involves placing a shackle within the opponent's Mental Sea of Consciousness. There is no limit to the number of times it can be used. Only Mind Power Master of a higher level than Lin Zhen, who is also proficient in Soul Lock Technique, can unlock it. Currently, there are probably very few people on Earth who can do this.

Bai Feng was already unable to move after being beaten by Lin Zhen, and was even more powerless to resist the Soul Lock, so he was easily hit.

"Master!" Bai Feng spoke up. Lin Zhen had instilled in him the idea of a master-servant relationship, and there was no need to be friends with someone like that.

"Listen, I should have taken your life, but there are people here who need protection. From now on, you'll stay with this team and protect them secretly, only intervening when it matters, especially this Wang Cheng."

"Rest assured, Master, Bai Feng will absolutely not fail in his mission."

"Alright, when you go back, you can join Azure Sky." Lin Zhen gave him the order.

Seeing how easily Lin Zhen dealt with a Level Nine God of War, everyone in the team was incredibly envious of Wang Cheng.

They received a Star Artifact and a Level Nine God of War as a bodyguard just for saying a nice word. If they had known, they would have said more nice things about Lin Zhen.

Unfortunately, there was no chance to start over, and all they could do was envy them.

This was a small matter for Lin Zhen, and he intended to leave immediately after finishing it. However, Bai Feng said, "Master, the Mutated Beast in Yilan have been acting strangely lately. They seem to have become much more ferocious. Based on my experience, it's possible that a high-level Mutated Beast is about to appear."

Lin Zhen nodded silently. If he counted the time, it had been less than half a year since the fall of Ice City. Wasn't the monster siege that time commanded by a high-level Mutated Beast?

However, no one would believe this if it were said out loud. Lin Zhen's current strength is not enough to deal with high-level Mutated Beast, so he can only improve his strength as soon as possible.

"I know, please be careful."

Wang Cheng's eyes welled up with tears. He didn't know how to repay Lin Zhen, so he excitedly rummaged through his backpack and finally found a book.

"Senior Lin Zhen, these are some miscellaneous books I bought online once. Some of the questions in them are particularly interesting, but I don't quite understand them, so I'm giving them to you."

Lin Zhen took the book, picked it up and glanced at it. The book was titled. "On the Strength of Laser Weapons and Elemental Power of Martial Artists".

Lin Zhen smiled. Was there even a question? Laser guns weren't easy to develop, and even if they were developed in the future, they wouldn't be very useful. Not only was their power limited, but martial artists could also dodge and defend against them based on various conditions. After all, they were controlled by humans, and there were too many weaknesses to exploit.

However, since it was Wang Cheng's small token of appreciation, Lin Zhen accepted it.

Lin Zhen nodded to Wang Cheng, then lifted his leg and took to the sky. Black Phantom appeared, entered the cabin, and the aircraft disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Wang Cheng silently looked at the sky and secretly vowed to take Lin Zhen as his role model and become a martial artist that people would look up to.

********

After leaving Yilan, Lin Zhen did not immediately go to Wudalianchi.

The Ministry of Science and Technology has not yet released any information about the secrets of the Poison Insect Crystal, so Lin Zhen still has some time.

Moreover, he still has quite a few A-Rank Mutated Beast crystals, which is almost enough for him to cultivate to the peak of level six.

The question on his mind now is what to do if he encounters Kholov when he gets to the God of War Arena.

Even with the acceleration of the Lightning Wings, it wasn't very effective in the face of Kholov's Gravity Field. After all, the God of War Arena was just a stage, not a huge space where he could freely use his skills.

In his previous life in interstellar space, Lin Zhen had also encountered experts with Gravity Field. There are several ways to deal with Gravity Field.

The simplest way is to suppress your opponent with strength. As long as your strength, speed, Dantian Qi surpass your opponent's, you can overcome any technique with sheer force and break the Gravity Field. However, Lin Zhen has not yet reached that level of strength.

There is another method that is even more outrageous, requiring the martial artist to master a stronger gravity and suppress the opponent in turn, which is even more impossible for Lin Zhen to do.

The most reliable way for the weak to overcome the Gravity Field of the strong is to master a powerful attack method, use the sharpest attack to break through the surface, and forcefully confront the Gravity Field to break it, just like Lin Zhen broke through the barrier of the Space Crack.

Lin Zhen has many tricks up his sleeve. The power of lightning and light is his unique skill, and his Mental Power is also exceptional, but it's useless against Kholov.

He had cultivated his Lightning Long River technique to the fourth level, and was already adept at dealing with ordinary War God.

However, when it comes to his strongest attack, there isn't one yet. The Waterfall might be one, but its power is still somewhat insufficient.

The Black Phantom spewed out a cloud of mist, hovering above it unnoticed. Lin Zhen sat atop the Black Phantom, a gentle breeze and flowing clouds passing by, while the Lightning Wings behind him swayed softly, the power of Lightning Ions continuously nurturing it.

He held his phone and browsed through the items for sale online, focusing on Spear Art, but he couldn't find the fifth level of the Nine Heavy Spears River.

"If I had the secret manual for the fifth level of the Spear River, which is the Overturning River Technique, I would basically be able to break through the Gravity Field of Kholov. Unfortunately, there is no fifth level available for sale at the moment."

"If I can't break the Gravity Field, even if I advance to the Advanced God of War level in the Wudalianchi, I will still be defeated when I encounter Kholov in the God of War Arena, unless I have a powerful attack method, one move is enough."

"I currently possess two similar elemental powers, light and electricity, but I cannot truly fuse the two elements to create an explosive attack. The reason I broke through the spatial barrier was because that barrier had cracked multiple times and was already very weak."

"How can we combine the power of these two elements?"

Lin Zhen lay back on the Black Phantom, his Lightning Wings fluttering gently. After thinking for a while, he idly looked through his Space Ring.

The first thing he saw was the book that Wang Cheng had just given him.
