Storm Clouds Gather

The next morning, Lin Zhen arrived at the gym early.

He went to the front desk and rented a single room, which was next to Zhang Ye's equipment room.

Actually, they're not even next door; the two rooms are connected, which makes it easier for me to consult and communicate with Zhang Ye.

Lin Zhen closed the door to the room. Inside, there was Rope Spear, a wooden board, and a basin of water, all prepared for Lin Zhen.

Following Zhang Ye's instructions, the Rope Spear was soaked in water, and attempts were made to attack the wooden planks.

He twisted the Rope Spear into a braid shape and thrust it out!

The Rope Spear struck the wooden board crookedly, and although it didn't pierce it, it was certainly much easier to handle.

Lin Zhen fired his gun faster and faster, his plan was very clear: to master the Rope Spear technique in the shortest amount of time and achieve flawless movements.

As for understanding one's state of mind, that depends on fate; let's focus on mastering the actions first.

Zhang Ye said that it would take Lin Zhen a year to comprehend the Unstoppable, but how could he know what kind of speed Lin Zhen possessed?

Without using Star Power, Lin Zhen can fire hundreds of shots per second using only his physical strength!

The sound insulation inside was fairly good; the series of impacts hitting the wooden planks caused them to tremble.

"If I had a wooden gun instead of a rope, this speed would have easily pierced the wooden plank."

"But I must use the rope as a gun, otherwise I cannot comprehend the Unstoppable."

Lin Zhen's mind was completely focused, and he didn't even feel the passage of time. Only when the rope was almost dry would he sweep the water basin to absorb water and continue his attack.

"Smack!"

The spear thrust out again, leaving a shallow dent in the wooden board.

"It finally had some effect, but that was only because I was too fast and too strong."

Looking up at the time, Lin Zhen realized that two hours had passed. The Rope Spear Rope Spear in his hand had dried out again, so he threw it into the basin of water and rested indoors for a while.

After resting, they picked up the Rope Spear again and began training. This repeated for three days.

Lin Zhen finally stopped training on the evening of the third day.

"I've made considerable progress. If I were to fire at my fastest speed, I could even pierce through a wooden board. But that's not Unstoppable; it's just the result of the object's rapid movement. My movements are almost flawless now. What I lack now is the right mindset."

"But how can I elevate my mindset? How can I transform the Rope Spear in my hand into a divine weapon, invincible and unstoppable?"

With these thoughts in mind, Lin Zhen walked out of the gym.

As soon as I stepped outside, I saw a crowd of people gathered there.

Lin Zhen saw Zhang Ye, who had just come out, also watching from the crowd.

"What happened?"

Zhang Ye turned around and saw Lin Zhen. He sighed and said, "Anyway, it's not good news. The Church is about to make its move."

Lin Zhen then noticed that people were looking at a large screen at the entrance.

On the screen, people are busy, seemingly setting up some kind of welcoming ceremony.

Lin Zhen looked at it for a while and asked, "What does this prove?"

"No way, don't you usually go online? The internet is in an uproar right now, the whole world is saying that the Divine Cult is about to take action against Huaxia, you'll see for yourself."

After leaving Constantinople, Lin Zhen never turned on his phone, so that no one could find him, but he also knew nothing about the outside world.

Upon opening it, it was discovered that the news of Yan Huang's trip to Iceland to find Ascetic Monks had been leaked, and a post had appeared on the Huaxia Forum.

"The Divine Cult wishes to conquer Huaxia; if you dare to come, you will surely be defeated!"

The post was pinned to the top of the list. You should know that ordinary martial artists do not have the authority to pin posts, no matter who they are.

Only the government can pin this post to the top, meaning this post was actually published by the Huaxia government.

The post was amazing; it was taken from inside the Cloud Layer, and the image was incredibly clear. It must have been taken by a highly skilled photographer and then sent to the government, which immediately pinned it to the top of their feed.

The post attracted a great deal of attention, and the Huaxia Forum immediately erupted in excitement.

For thousands of years, Huaxia has been invaded by countless foreign tribes and has experienced countless defeats, but it has never been conquered.

Yan Huang had previously clamored for an eastern expedition, but no one expected him to actually take action.

Countless Huaxia martial artists commented, filled with indignation.

"Looks like we need to teach those bastards from the Divine Cult a lesson about what real war is!"

"I dare not speak of other things, but the martial artists of our Nanfang City Dragon Slayer Martial Hall will definitely go to the Northwest to attack the Divine Cult."

"Martial artists from the Tianfu City Light and Shadow Martial Arts Academy are requesting to participate in the battle!"

"Capital City Raging Wind Martial Hall announces its participation in the battle!"

"Soldiers of the Southern Base City Defense Army swear an oath: If war breaks out, we will be called back!"

"This is incredibly arrogant. It's the right thing to quit this kind of sect."

"May I say that this battle was probably started by Lin Zhen? Shouldn't Lin Zhen stand up and say something? Perhaps the war could have been avoided?"

"Is the person upstairs out of their mind? Did Lin Zhen do anything wrong? What did you send Lin Zhen to do? To pray for peace? We don't need peace that is obtained through prayer."

"That's right. Besides, Lin Zhen's Dantian is damaged, so he probably won't be able to fight again. This battle will still have to rely on the martial artists from all over the country."

The number of comments quickly surpassed one million and continued to climb.

Furthermore, a large group of martial artists has already set off, heading towards the Northwest Base City of Huaxia.

The Northwest Base City is located in the northwest of Huaxia and is closest to the Western Continent. If the Church really wants to launch an eastern expedition, then this war is very likely to be fought in the northwest.

The Huaxia government even had a spokesperson personally confirm the matter, calling on martial artists to resist the Church's invasion.

However, the Huaxia government was much more rational and issued a strict order to the northwest: anyone whose cultivation level was below the Quasi-Star Realm was not allowed to enter the northwest region.

The Church could easily send any Stellar Realm expert; anyone too weak would just be sent to their death. They couldn't afford to jeopardize Huaxia's future in this battle.

Of course, many people are not optimistic about the outcome of this battle.

The reason is simple: the Church's people are too powerful.

The video showed those Ascetic Monks easily slaughtering Ocean Giant Beast, which shocked people greatly. Huaxia had such difficulty in rescuing the Ice City from its crisis, how could it possibly be able to fight against these Ascetic Monks?

After this incident was exposed, many experts have expressed their determination to resist the Church, including Jin Qichao and Shang Jin. Some people have confirmed that these two are the second and third ranked super experts on the Dark Star Ranking.

Even the owners of various Martial Arts Hall schools, such as Yang Jianying, participated.

For example, Luo Yun, Dongfang Jun, and others in the Ancient God City also came out of the Ancient God City to prepare to resist the attack of the Church.

The instructors from the Star Fruit Tree, led by Guo Mo, also left the Star Fruit Tree and headed to the Northwest battlefield.

Despite the participation of these individuals, the public still lacked confidence.

So many people are calling for a super master like Chen Fenglie, who is known as the number one in Huaxia. Why is there no voice now?

Although Chen Fenglie did not respond, Jin Qichao of the Dark Star Ranking provided the answer.

Chen Fenglie is a master on the Heavenly Star Ranking. Masters on the Heavenly Star Ranking check and balance each other and are not allowed to interfere in worldly affairs. If Chen Fenglie makes a move, then the Heavenly Star Ranking masters from Western countries will definitely make a move as well.

The Ascetic Monks of the Church have extensive connections. If they were to bring out all the experts from the Heavenly Star Ranking, the strength of Huaxia would definitely be at a disadvantage. Therefore, it would be best not to let the Heavenly Star Ranking participate in this battle.

If they make a move, it will definitely escalate into a world war.

Zhang Ye sighed to Lin Zhen, "Chen Fan, although we both aspire to serve our country, I still advise you not to participate in this kind of battle. You're not even a martial artist or a soldier, so what would you be? A volunteer? They probably wouldn't even want you as cannon fodder."

Lin Zhen smiled at Zhang Ye and said, "Instructor Zhang, there's no need to be so discouraged. I think your martial arts skills are very useful, and perhaps they can shine in my hands."

Zhang Ye smiled and said, "Don't be so modest. My martial arts skills are just rudimentary in my own hands. They can only be of any use in the hands of true masters."

As he spoke, Zhang Ye pointed at the phone in Lin Zhen's hand. "Look at those Ascetic Monks, they can kill Ocean Giant Beast with the slightest movement. How can we resist such an enemy? I think this time, Huaxia is in big trouble."

Lin Zhen nodded. Although Zhang Ye's cultivation level was not high, his insight was not bad. These Ascetic Monks were indeed a big problem.

Especially now that the Heavenly Star Ranking cannot participate, Huaxia can be said to have no advantage whatsoever.

Seeing so many familiar faces heading to the Northwest Base City, Lin Zhen really wanted to set off for the Northwest immediately, but he couldn't right now.

Lin Zhen's Dantian Qi has not yet recovered. Although he has produced medicine to restore Dantian Qi in the past few days, he does not want to restore Dantian Qi immediately before mastering the Unstoppable, so as not to be discovered and cause unnecessary trouble.

It seems that the most urgent task is to improve one's state of mind.

Standing there, Lin Zhen stared at Zhang Ye, somewhat dazed, and asked, "Instructor Zhang, besides the Rope Spear technique, how did you comprehend the Unstoppable martial arts?"

Zhang Ye thought for a moment and said, "It was also a coincidence. When I was in the army, I was ridiculed for practicing with Rope Spear. I got into a Battle Qi with someone and insisted on taking the Rope Spear to fight a General Level. But he had a knife and a shield, and he beat me up badly. Later, I don't know how, I mustered up a lot of energy and actually pierced his shield with one shot. That's how I became Unstoppable."

Lin Zhen nodded silently, as if he had understood something.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Zhen took out a card and handed it to Zhang Ye.

"Instructor, I want to thank you for your guidance these past few days. Here's some pocket money, please keep it."

"What? Why are you giving me money?"

"You deserve this. You taught me the key to Unstoppable, which is something that money can't buy. I hope you can see the marksmanship you taught me shine one day."

"What? You're really going to join the war?"

"Maybe. If one day you see someone using such marksmanship on the battlefield, that person will be me."

After saying that, Lin Zhen turned and left the gym, disappearing into the crowd.
