Fight Eight Thousand Battles!
A string of fireballs exploded in the air, making it seem as if Lin Zhen might be engulfed at any moment, but none of the fireballs managed to touch Lin Zhen.
"Clap clap clap clap!"
A flurry of gunfire flashed, and Lin Zhen grabbed Zi Qianxia, quickly flying away from the area and onto the Eternal Crystal Spaceship.
"You've successfully broken through! What kind of Spear Art was that just now?"
Lin Zhen smiled but remained silent in response to Zi Qianxia's question.
He succeeded. As the last Meteor Fall, the meteor in his Dantian finally formed its own orbit and entered the Meteor Stage.
Upon reaching the Star Core Peak and entering the Meteor Stage, Lin Zhen's total Star Power doubled once again, significantly advancing his strength.
In the final moments, Lin Zhen also mastered a new Spear Art.
Meteor!
A swift and unpredictable shot, capable of firing thousands of times per second.
This is Lin Zhen's current trump card, his strongest weapon in regular battles, and when combined with other weapons, it is Unstoppable and incredibly powerful.
"Chika, I really want to thank you for what you did earlier. If you hadn't risked your life to block the meteor, I would probably have been seriously injured, if not killed, and I wouldn't have been able to think about breaking through for a while."
Zi Qianxia felt the warmth in her palm and realized that Lin Zhen was holding her hand. Her face flushed slightly, and she pulled her hand away.
"It's only right. I'm your slave; how can I not protect you?"
"Stop talking about slaves. I feel like you're about to break through. Is there something on your mind? Are you worried that I'll go back on my word and not give you your freedom? Don't worry, I'll give you your freedom right now. If you want to leave, I won't stop you."
Lin Zhen immediately revoked Zi Qianxia's slave chip and instead awarded her a knight chip, making Zi Qianxia a noblewoman as well.
"I know this status isn't right for you yet, but you can change it if you get a better one in the future."
Zi Qianxia stared blankly at everything Lin Zhen did, then lowered her head and remained silent.
"Go and break through; you can leave whenever you want."
After saying that, Lin Zhen turned around and didn't say anything more to Zi Qianxia.
After a while, a fragrant breeze wafted by, Zi Qianxia disappeared, probably going to find a place to break through her cultivation barrier.
Lin Zhen sighed softly. This deal was worthwhile. Zi Qianxia was able to help him break through to the Meteor Stage, which was an invaluable asset. As for where Zi Qianxia would go in the future, Lin Zhen respected her Xuan Ze.
It stayed on Mars for another three days, stabilizing the Meteor Stage.
On the third day, Zi Qianxia returned.
She has not only advanced to the Black Hole Late Stage evolution, but is also facing another breakthrough, not far from the Star System Stage.
Lin Zhen was amazed by the speed of his cultivation.
After returning, Zi Qianxia came to Lin Zhen's side and only said one sentence.
"I'll stay by your side until I'm able to go back to my hometown and take revenge."
Lin Zhen smiled with relief; he hadn't misjudged him after all.
It's time to return to Earth. With the main body advancing, the clone naturally advanced to the Planet Stage as well. Lin Zhen is going to respond to the provocations within the territory.
********
Blue Bay Star.
This planet is ten times larger than Earth, and four holy kingdoms hold a dominant position.
The Martial Artist Forum here has been very lively lately.
Among martial artists, there is a way to prove their strength: by challenging a lord.
In the eyes of the people of Blue Bay Star, their technological and cultivation civilizations far surpass those of Earth. Even if there were lords, they should have been born on their planet. What right did Lin Zhen, a low-level Earthling, have to lead them?
The warriors on the planet were enraged, and they launched challenges against Lin Zhen across the Dimensional Universe.
Lin Zhen ignored the first person, Cao Yang, from the Azure Dragon Holy Kingdom, and then came the second, the third, the hundredth, and the thousandth.
Lin Zhen ignored everyone, which undoubtedly emboldened the Blue Bay Star People.
The internet was filled with mockery and criticism of the lord's incompetence.
Some martial artists even show women a screenshot when pursuing them. "See? Even lords don't dare accept my challenge. Aren't men like me the most reassuring kind of men?"
Three months have passed, and the heat of this matter has just subsided a little. Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen, this cheap lord, actually wants to levy taxes on Blue Bay Star!
One stone stirs up a thousand waves; the warriors of Blue Bay Star are in an uproar!
"That brat Lin Zhen is too arrogant! What right does he have to collect taxes from us?"
"How ridiculous! Someone who can't even reach their own territory wants to collect taxes? They'll only make a fool of themselves!"
"Enough nonsense! Lin Zhen wants to collect taxes from us? He should ask my sword for permission first!"
"Let's save our breath. Lin Zhen, that coward, doesn't have the guts. If he dared to accept the challenge, he would have done so already."
"I reckon if we don't pay him his taxes, he'll sue us in the Empire, haha!"
"Then go to court with him. If he's got the guts, come and get it yourself, you piece of trash!"
The warriors of Blue Bay Star were arrogant. In their eyes, Lin Zhen would never dare to accept their challenges, because there were other warriors from Blue Bay Star who were not as good as Lin Zhen, and he did not accept them either. They thought he was an incompetent lord.
So, in order to prove their courage, the warriors, regardless of their own strength, all issued challenges to Lin Zhen in the Asura Arena!
Three days have passed, and Lin Zhen has still not responded.
The Blue Bay Star people now despise Lin Zhen Lin Zhen, and some are even preparing to advise Emperor Long Jue Tian of the Tianhe Empire to replace this incompetent lord.
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Zhen suddenly accepted the challenge today!
A Lord's Letter appeared on the Blue Bay Star forum.
"Citizens of Blue Bay Star, I am your lord Lin Zhen. I have been too busy dealing with trivial matters in the territory lately and have not been able to respond to you. In view of your disrespect towards me, I have made the following decision."
"First, starting today, taxes on Blue Bay Star will be doubled. Pay immediately, and a 10% increase for each day of delay!"
"Second, the four holy kingdoms of Blue Bay Star will be placed under the administration of my Earth Office. The transfer of power will begin immediately today."
"Third, I will send people to monitor Blue Bay Star. Please prepare to receive them."
"Besides, too many people have been provoking me in this Asura Arena lately. Today, I'll take some time to play with you!"
Then, Lin Zhen made a surprising move.
He accepted the challenge from the warriors of Blue Bay Star!
Lin Zhen neither accepted nor refused the martial arts challenges at the time, and the information about those designated challenges was still there.
Lin Zhen glanced at the list and saw that there were more than 8,000 challengers on Blue Bay Star!
He immediately gave Chris the order, "Accept everything. Use your system to analyze them, from lowest to highest strength, don't leave anyone out!"
Chris started working immediately and finished within seconds.
"Master, are you ready? When shall we begin the battle?"
Lin Zhen was not in a hurry. Instead, he led a number of his men toward the Eternal Crystal Spaceship.
Those who went with Lin Zhen included Zi Qianxia, Zi Shisan and Shiqi, as well as fifty Star Stage experts and three hundred Planet Stage experts.
He is now heading to Blue Bay Star. Now that he has made up his mind, he is determined to completely subdue this planet.
Blue Bay Star is about four million Star Power away from Earth, which is about five months at the speed of light.
Traveling through parallel universes would take only a day, but Lin Zhen wasn't in a hurry; he wanted to complete these challenges along the way.
After boarding the spaceship, the Eternal Crystal Spaceship was activated and began its journey to Blue Bay Star according to the interstellar coordinates.
"Alright, get ready to accept the challenge."
The spaceship entered space, and Lin Zhen accepted the challenge.
********
The warriors of Blue Bay Star were in an uproar once again!
I never expected that cowardly lord would actually dare to accept the challenge!
These martial artists immediately launched a new round of clamor, posting screenshots online of Lin Zhen accepting their challenges.
"Lin Zhen, I'm here!"
"What kind of lousy lord are you? Today I'll teach you a lesson!"
"Let me show you that Earth and Blue Bay Star are not even in the same league. You have no right to be arrogant here!"
"Everyone, go watch the battle in the Asura Arena. I'm number eighteen among the challengers. You'll soon see me crush Lin Zhen."
"Ugh! I'm so unlucky. I've been in line for over a thousand numbers. By the time it's my turn, Lin Zhen will probably have been beaten to a pulp by you guys and lost all will to fight."
The Asura Arena also sells tickets. The fact that Lin Zhen accepted the challenge will attract not only martial artists from Blue Bay Star, but also martial artists from Earth, and even people from other planets in the Sun Territory.
However, Lin Zhen had booked the entire venue, and the martial artists from Earth could watch for free.
The virtual arena is infinitely large, and once this news spread, the number of viewers within the Sun Territory became impossible to calculate.
The first match, in particular, was so bad that the Asura Arena made a fortune from ticket sales.
Lin Zhen's first challenge was against a martial artist from the Vermilion Bird Holy Kingdom of Blue Bay Star, a satellite-level warrior named Wang Bai Jie.
When he found out he was number one, he was absolutely ecstatic!
The first battle was definitely the most anticipated. In his opinion, Lin Zhen was only at the Satellite Stage, with a strength similar to his own. If he could defeat Lin Zhen in this battle, he would become very famous!
The benefits of fame are too numerous to mention; in short, it's a tremendous opportunity.
He called upon his friends and all those he knew to come and witness this Asura Arena.
When the time Lin Zhen had agreed upon arrived, the people in the Dimensional Universe felt a blur before their eyes, and everyone entered the Asura Arena and took their seats.
No matter where you sit, you can see everything clearly inside the venue.
In the center is a huge circular arena with a diameter of one kilometer, surrounded by endless seats. It is roughly estimated that the number of spectators exceeds ten billion!
The first person to appear in the Asura Arena was Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen, dressed in a silver outfit, stood with his hands behind his back in the center of the Asura Arena.
After the match began, Lin Zhen spoke first, "Gentlemen watching, you all come from the Sun Territory. Today, I accept the challenges from the warriors of Blue Bay Star. Right here, there will be a total of 8,120 matches. If I lose even one, all my demands on Blue Bay Star will be null and void. If I win all of them, listen up, people from all the inhabited planets! Immediately pay double the amount of your taxes, or don't blame me for being impolite as your lord!"
