The Calm After Failure

After waiting for a while, the Team Battle information finally came through.

"Your teammate has invited you to join a million-player Team Battle. Do you accept?"

"Accept!"

"Each person needs to bring ten million Cosmic Crystal as capital to join the Team Battle. Is that confirmed?"

"Sure."

Soon the scenery changed, and Lin Zhen found himself in a huge open space.

Countless people appeared around them almost simultaneously, including Yan Qi Ye, Heige, and several others.

The sheer size of the arena was almost unimaginable. Lin Zhen and his team were on the Black Side, while the red side was ten miles apart, with densely packed crowds on both sides.

One million on each side!

There are no tactics involved in this kind of battle. Just rush in, kill the opponent, and if you kill the one who kills you, you can get five million out of the opponent's ten million capital!

If the other party has accumulated 30 million in capital, you can get 15 million by killing him!

So when your principal exceeds 20 million, even if you die, you've still made a profit.

"Lin Zhen, we need to cover each other and cooperate. In battles like this, individual strength is very limited; we need to work together to make money, understand?"

"I understand, don't worry."

As they spoke, countless people swarmed over from the opposite side, and the people on this side also rushed forward in response.

Lin Zhen and the others had no choice but to move forward; the sky and the ground were full of people, and if they didn't move, they would be trampled underfoot by the people behind them.

All those with remote means launched attacks immediately.

Countless energy storms, Mental Power, and hidden Hidden Weapon rained down upon us.

Lin Zhen and his group were located in the front half of the crowd, so they wouldn't be attacked immediately, but they would soon be drawn into the battle.

Every position has its advantages; you can get kills quickly in the front, but you can also get killed quickly in the back.

Just as Lin Zhen and his group charged forward, a group of people in the opposite crowd had already locked onto them.

"Target location confirmed. There are five people in total, including Lin Zhen. As per the boss's orders, the Divine Mechanism Clan warriors, prepare to assassinate all five of them immediately!"

Five Star System Level Nine appeared on the other side. These people, like Bolo in Lin Zhen's team, were born with sniping skills. When they stretched out their arms, they would immediately turn into laser guns that could fire Star Power Bullet.

This bullet is not a conventional bullet, nor is it an energy Element Bullet; rather, it is the Star Power of a martial artist.

If they have 5,000 Star Power, they can Xuan Ze launch 100 Star Power or even 1,000 Star Power at a time.

Now, Xuan Jiang has ordered them to take action, and each of them Xuan Ze to unleash their maximum Star Power.

If such an attack were to reach a person, it would be almost equivalent to the opponent Self-Detonation in front of you, certain death. This is the power of the Divine Mechanism Clan, and also the reason why Bolo, only at the Star System Level Four, was able to occupy a main position in Lin Zhen's team.

This time, however, the opponents were all at the Star System Level Nine, and they used this method on Lin Zhen and his group.

During the journey, Lin Zhen suddenly felt a chill run through his entire body!

"Not good!"

Lin Zhen roared. This feeling came so suddenly, as if he was about to face death in the next second. Lin Zhen immediately activated Time Stop.

Then, with barely a glance, he saw a long trail pierce the sky and rush into his time field at an extremely high speed. Then, the time field was shattered by this force!

The fact that Time Stop couldn't stop them proves that the opponent's attack power is above Lin Zhen's Star Power!

Lin Zhen launched his next move simultaneously with the activation of Time Stop.

Space Severance!

Before being sniped, Lin Zhen concentrated all his power and unleashed a massive Space Severance, hurtling into the enemy ranks.

He didn't know how effective the Space Severance would be, but the next second, the feeling of death came over him.

That sniper shot was almost unstoppable and unavoidable, exploding violently right in front of Lin Zhen, followed by endless darkness!

With a flash of white light, Lin Zhen emerged from the arena with millions of people, along with his four teammates.

The five people looked at each other but didn't say anything.

Heige, Yan Qi Ye, and the other three lost half of their initial investment of ten million, leaving each of them with only five million left. They didn't even get close to the enemy.

Bolo cursed fiercely, "This must be premeditated! Someone is deliberately trying to assassinate us! The attackers are all powerful members of our Divine Mechanism Clan, and the intensity of their attacks is comparable to Star System Level Nine Self-Detonation in a star system! I, Bolo, am confident that I don't have the face to offend such important figures. Can anyone tell me what exactly happened?"

Yu Xuan of the Azure Diamond Empire also looked grim. "My only enemy from the past might be my ex-boyfriend, but he definitely doesn't have the strength or the power to get these big shots involved."

Yan Qi Ye pondered for a moment, "I don't understand either."

Heige said, "No need to guess, we must have offended a master. No one but a master could do this, instantly locking onto a few of us out of a million people."

All eyes finally fell on Lin Zhen.

Lin Zhen first checked his inventory. He had lost five million of his ten million Cosmic Crystal upon his death, but now they had ballooned to three hundred and thirty million!

In other words, the Space Severance he unleashed before his death killed sixty-five opponents.

Not everyone is an elite; there are quite a few low-level Star System Stage cultivators among them. It's not surprising that Lin Zhen killed more than sixty people with a single blow.

But Lin Zhen couldn't be happy at all, because a new challenge was about to begin.

He was eliminated from the million-player arena, but a new challenge was immediately presented, leaving him no chance whatsoever.

Being able to kill more than sixty people under such circumstances is already considered extremely lucky.

More importantly, his teammates were already dissatisfied.

Lin Zhen took a deep breath. "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I want to apologize to everyone. I offended someone named Xuan Jiang before, and I'm very sorry for the losses I caused you. I will compensate you for the money you lost."

After finishing his statement, Lin Zhen compensated each of them with five million Cosmic Crystal. This was no small sum of money, and since they were just casual acquaintances, Lin Zhen didn't want to owe anyone anything.

Yan Qi Ye originally wanted to decline, but suddenly a scrolling message appeared in the Dimensional Universe.

This kind of rolling message can only be sent by the top three martial artists in this area, and everyone can receive it.

"I am Xuan Jiang, and I hereby declare that Lin Zhen, a warrior from the Fire Kirin Empire Xuan Jiang, is my enemy. Anyone who teams up with him will be targeted and eliminated by me in the arena. I am banishing him. You'd better watch out!"

The message was simple, but it was filled with murderous intent!

The group fell silent. Heige and the others looked at each other, but no one spoke.

Yan Qi Ye looked at Lin Zhen with some concern. "Lin Zhen, how could you offend someone like that? Xuan Jiang is the number one expert in our small war zone, no wonder this happened."

Bolo rolled his eyes. "Oh, I see. I'm just an innocent bystander."

Yu Xuan turned her head away and refused to look at Lin Zhen again, making her attitude very clear.

Heige wanted to say something, but Lin Zhen stopped him.

"I completely understand how everyone feels. I didn't want this to happen either. I think it's time to end my relationship with my teammates here."

After handing over all the money to them, Lin Zhen waved to Yan Qi Ye and said, "Brother Yan, see you later."

Yan Qi Ye was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat uncomfortable, but there was nothing he could do. In the Dimensional Arena, the strong reign supreme, and Xuan Jiang had already made such a clear threat. Anyone who continued to be Lin Zhen's teammate would truly be asking for trouble.

The next moment, Lin Zhen's figure disappeared from the Dimensional Arena.

He has already left.

He couldn't stay in the Star System Arena anymore, and the Black Hole Stage was also pointless; he had no choice but to leave this arena.

The figure appeared inside the rented hotel. Lin Zhen sat cross-legged on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.

He lost this time. Although he won a lot of money, he lost the right to continue fighting in the arena.

However, at the same time, he also clearly understood his current strength.

If we're talking about martial artists under 100 years old, Lin Zhen is almost fearless. He's confident he can fight anyone, even if they're weaker, they won't be that much weaker, and he'll definitely have a fighting chance.

The gap is quite obvious among veteran martial artists.

Lin Zhen learned these techniques in just over a decade, while others who have spent thousands of years naturally know far more. Most importantly, it's about Star Power.

Even if he has ten times the compression, those who can cultivate to the galaxy stage must have at least seven or eight times the compression.

After all, there is an insurmountable gap between the early stages of Black Hole and the Star System Level Nine.

It was only thanks to his Mutated Black Hole and Dark Star that he was able to survive in the Star System Arena; otherwise, he wouldn't even have the right to survive.

However, this departure is temporary. Lin Zhen never intended to leave forever; he will come back.

"Phew~~!"

He exhaled a breath of stale air.

"What I lack right now is Star Power."

"Those veteran galactic warriors generally have Star Power of six or seven thousand to ten thousand. Only by having such strength can they survive in the Star System Arena and not be afraid of the vast majority of people."

"I was a bit too hasty. I just advanced to the Black Hole Stage and haven't had time to stabilize my realm and cultivate patiently. This is because I've gotten used to taking shortcuts and lack accumulation. This won't work."

"Resurrecting the Little Phoenix isn't something I can't make money from. I now have over 4 billion, plus the 1.5 billion from selling the artifact my clone made, so I have over 5 billion. I can definitely upgrade the flame again."

"With White-Hot flames, I will be able to forge Top Grade Divine Artifact, and then I will still be rolling in wealth."

"I'll use this time to hone my skills. I'll return to the Dimensional Arena sooner or later, and those who cut off my source of income will have nowhere to run!"

Contrary to some people's expectations, Lin Zhen, despite the setback, did not become despondent; instead, she calmed down as a result.

Just like a real sword, it always needs to be polished countless times before it can unleash its dazzling brilliance!
