I Am Zhao Zilong of Changshan

With the Six-armed Asura dealt with, the remaining battle became much easier. The already battered defensive strongpoints collapsed under Lena's relentless bombardment.

Led by Lena's firepower, the five-man team charged straight into the fortress at the center of the position. In such an enclosed space, Lena's solar flare attacks were astonishingly powerful. After even her own teammates had been blown away once by the shockwave, she no longer dared use the high-powered Micro Solar Flare Bombardment.

Whenever an enemy appeared, Lena would toss out a Super Micro Radiation-Free Solar Flare Bombardment without a second thought. There was basically nothing left for the others to do, and everyone chatted leisurely behind her.

"We're finally almost through. Nima, Xin Ye's about to die of exhaustion!" Zhao Xin complained as he walked.

"Brother Zhao Xin, are you tired? Why do I not feel tired at all?" Rui Mengmeng asked in confusion.

"Yeah, wa lie wa... I feel pretty relaxed too!" Wuji Yi chimed in.

"That's because you had Lena blocking most of the attacks!" Zhao Xin said, rolling his eyes. "Try following Zitong instead."

"That's true! Sister Na is really amazing!" Rui Mengmeng nodded.

"Wa lie wa feels like I haven't done anything at all!" Wuji Yi felt the same way.

"How could she not be amazing? She just kept firing blasts all the way!" Zhao Xin said. "If you want to actually do something, follow Zitong. No matter who it is, as long as they follow Zitong, he's the main force!"

"Nima, Xin Ye, I took out plenty of enemies too, okay?" Wei Zitong retorted darkly.

"The ones you fought were all small fry..." Zhao Xin said disdainfully. "Did you ever face that Asura head-on? You have no idea how strong that beast was. If Xin Ye hadn't ambushed it, I might've been the one sent flying!"

"Wa lie wa didn't feel anything. True swordsmanship means avoiding strength with weakness. You can't let it touch you!" Wuji Yi said.

"The Asura really was incredibly strong. Even with a full sword strike, I couldn't break through its sword flowers!" Rui Mengmeng nodded in agreement.

"You were all too reckless. Harassing it was enough; don't clash with it head-on!" Wei Zitong said. "After all, it was wielding a God-Slaying Weapon. It wouldn't be good to get hit even once!"

"Sigh, I'll be more careful next time!" Zhao Xin waved a hand. "I just wonder what kind of enemies are in my Area 5. They'd better not be as difficult as this place, or Xin Ye's really going to break down!"

"Hard to say!" Wei Zitong shook his head. "Maybe you'll have to fight your ancestor!"

"Get lost! You're the one who'll have to fight your ancestor..." Zhao Xin spat immediately, but choked halfway through his sentence. He asked incredulously, "Y-you're serious?"

"Of course not!" Wei Zitong shrugged. "How would I know? You'll have to ask A Jie. Maybe he knows!"

A thunderous boom shook the chatting group so hard their eardrums hurt. Judging by the sound, Lena had used another Micro Solar Flare Bombardment.

Lena emerged from the smoke and dust, coughing repeatedly. Seeing the four of them lounging around, she immediately grew angry and said with a gloomy expression, "You four are still standing around chatting? Do you know those guys were awakening a second Asura?"

"What? There's a second one?" Zhao Xin practically sprang into the air and shouted.

The other three were startled as well!

"Yes!" Lena said. "But this Goddess killed it before it could awaken. We can't waste any more time. This Goddess has decided to blow this fortress into the sky in one go, so get far away!" As she spoke, she drew out a long string of orange-yellow light spheres around herself.

"Fuck!" The four of them felt their scalps go numb. With a cry, they all turned and fled outside!

Zhao Xin was the fastest. In the blink of an eye, he had rushed out of the fortress. Wei Zitong, meanwhile, activated the Infinite Strength buff, grabbed Wuji Yi and Rui Mengmeng by the shoulders, and threw them straight outside!

After tossing the two of them out, Wei Zitong, who had already run halfway out, turned around and ran back!

"Hmph, you little rascal. I knew you couldn't bear to leave this Goddess behind!" Lena gave a soft, smiling snort. She sent the long string of compressed Micro Solar Flares into the air, then used the Flowing Light Technique to slam headfirst into Wei Zitong's arms!

Wei Zitong had no time to worry about what was improper about Lena's action. He directly used Negate: Distance's Teleportation Ability on a gun turret several hundred meters away!

They had hugged before anyway, and Lena had even forcibly kissed him... Pah, he couldn't think about that. Every time he did, his cheeks burned. This wasn't his invisible state...

Lena, whose gaze was fixed on Wei Zitong's face, naturally noticed his unusual reaction. She giggled sweetly. "Oh? Are you low on energy? Do you need this Goddess to give you another kiss?"

"That was my first kiss..." Wei Zitong said indignantly. But halfway through, his heart suddenly skipped a beat. How could that have been his first kiss? With the Original Body Owner's personality, he had probably kissed no shortage of girls. He had carelessly exposed the secret buried deep within his heart...

If Yan had heard those words, she definitely would have noticed something wrong. But unfortunately, the person before him was Lena. At the moment, Lena had only one thing on her mind: teasing the man holding her as he teleported.

"This was my first kiss too!" she said. "I'm a woman, and I don't mind. What are you, a man, afraid of? You should know that over in Blazing Sun, we take propriety between men and women very seriously. Once you kiss, it practically means you're going to..."

At this point, Lena fell silent.

The sight of dozens of Micro Solar Flares exploding at once was spectacular. Flames shot up into the Skyline, painting half the sky crimson. Looking at the man whose silhouette had been stretched into a line by the light behind them, Lena murmured softly, "I don't know whether you can become a true god, but I'm willing to stay by your side for the rest of your life..."

At such close range, Wei Zitong naturally heard Lena's murmur. His feelings were complicated at that moment. He could only pretend not to know, burying it deep in his heart, just like his identity as a transmigrator...

Once everyone had regrouped, Lena had already climbed down from Wei Zitong. Standing atop a high spot with her hands on her hips, she shouted domineeringly, "Move out—Area 5!"

"Oh yeah, it's finally Xin Ye's turn! So excited, so excited!" Zhao Xin said, rubbing his hands together.

To reach Area 5, they had to pass beside Areas 3 and 4. Along the way, they ran into Ge Xiaolun's four-man team. They looked rather bedraggled. Other than Qilin, every one of them was injured, though none of the injuries were serious.

The two teams exchanged greetings, complained about the map's difficulty, and sent their regards to Jace's entire family before parting ways. Ge Xiaolun's team needed to enter Area 3 to help Cheng Yaowen clear the map.

When the five of them reached Area 5, they were stunned by its vastness!

They had not entered the other areas, but Wei Zitong's Area 2 had not been large—at most, it had been the size of a medium-sized town on Earth. But this place...

Across the boundless plains, grass and trees flourished, forming a deep green ocean. Scattered wildflowers dotted the landscape, complementing one another beautifully. A clear little river wound its way into an ancient village with thin wisps of smoke rising from it. Amid the lingering glow of the setting sun, a magnificent white horse raised its hooves and neighed, the sound echoing like a dragon's cry...

White horse...

The first person Lena thought of was Wei Zitong. She turned to look at his shocked face, her expression strange.

Wei Zitong truly was shocked. This white horse was definitely no ordinary white horse. What kind of ordinary white horse could run faster than his supercar? If one existed, he'd twist off his own head and let that person use it as a ball!

And the white horse's speed was still continuously increasing...

250 km/h, 270 km/h, 290 km/h, 310 km/h...

"Damn, damn, that white horse was way too insanely fast!" Zhao Xin was the most sensitive to speed. Although he lacked Wei Zitong's system-assisted data analysis, he could still tell that the white horse's speed was absolutely beyond what an ordinary horse could achieve!

"How fast?" Wuji Yi asked. The white horse was too far away for him to see clearly.

"550 km/h..." Wei Zitong mechanically reported.

"Nima, I knew Xin Ye's map wouldn't be easy!" Zhao Xin grumbled with a dark expression. "Even a horse is this strong!"

"It was that fast? Let me see!" Lena could actually calculate the white horse's speed as well, but the moment she saw it, her attention shifted to Wei Zitong. After checking, she could not help swearing, "Damn! It's 700 km/h now!"

"What kind of horse was that?" Rui Mengmeng was somewhat worried. When the white horse stopped charging straight at them and turned into the small village, she could no longer make out its figure!

"Hahahaha!"

A hearty laugh came from within the village.

"I have waited a thousand years, and at last, challengers have arrived!" the voice laughed. "Men, to battle!"

"Yes!"

A neat, thunderous roar rang out, leaving everyone with varying expressions. What the hell was going on?

Immediately afterward, eleven heavily armored knights rode out from the village. At their head was that magnificent white horse, bearing a general clad in silver armor!

The silver-armored general was broad and imposing, holding a silver spear at an angle in his hand. He looked exceptionally valiant!

Zhao Xin's eyes nearly popped out when he saw the silver spear. "The... the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix Spear! Damn it, Zitong, you called it!"

Wei Zitong could only smile bitterly. He had merely made a wild guess based on Zhao Xin's situation. How could he have expected to guess right?

The silver-armored general reined in his horse a hundred meters away from the five of them, raised his spear, and shouted, "I am Zhao Zilong of Changshan! Who are the challengers before me? State your names!"
