All-Out Assault on the Divine Plant Cult

Time flies.

Ten days have passed in the blink of an eye.

5 PM.

Weapon Room.

After finishing their practice, the group rested in twos and threes, leaning against the wall or sitting on the ground.

Lin Zichen sat alone by the window, silently cultivating the Blood Tempering Technique.

A few minutes later.

He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a deep breath.

Immediately, an idea struck him, and he brought up the body tempering progress bar to check the progress.

[Four-times Skin Tempering: 100%]

[Four-times Muscle Tempering: 26%]

[Four Bone Tempering: 0%]

In just over ten days, the body tempering progress increased directly from 12% after four Skin Tempering to over a quarter of the progress after four Muscle Tempering.

The quenching efficiency is extremely high.

It is even more efficient than the previous Tertiary Body Tempering.

It was all thanks to the Advanced Blood Recovery Pill.

It just goes to show that having resources makes a difference.

There are still more than two weeks until the start of the new school term.

If I work hard, I feel I have a chance to achieve the Great Perfection of Body Tempering four times before the start of the semester.

Then, strive to achieve mastery of Quinary Body Tempering before the second year of university.

No, it's not about striving, it's about following the steps.

Based on the current body tempering efficiency, it's practically a certainty that the student will achieve mastery of Quinary Body Tempering sessions during their sophomore year.

Thinking of this, a smile involuntarily appeared on Lin Zichen's face.

"Xiao Chen, you're sweating a lot. Drink some water to replenish your fluids."

Shen Qinghan walked over with a bottle of sports drink, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to him.

"Okay, sure."

Lin Zichen reached out and took the drink, then drank it in large gulps.

Shen Qinghan took out a tissue and very considerately wiped the sweat from his face.

Seeing this public display of affection, the surrounding boys were filled with envy, wishing they had such a considerate girlfriend.

Well, thoughtfulness is only one aspect; it would be best if she were as beautiful as Shen Qinghan.

"Everyone, come over here. I'll give you a brief overview of the Origin Land and explain the specific arrangements for tomorrow's field training exercise."

Lu Tianrong stood on the Martial Platform and shouted to the crowd.

Lin Zichen's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

After spending so many days in the Military District, the most anticipated part has finally arrived.

He quickly got up and walked down from the Martial Platform with Shen Qinghan.

In no time, one side of the Martial Platform was filled with people.

The crowd stood somewhat haphazardly Martial Platform, waiting for Lu Tianrong's science popularization Origin Land.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lu Tianrong didn't waste any more time.

He immediately took out his phone from his pocket and turned on the large screen above the Martial Platform.

After tapping a few times on my phone screen, a video appeared on the large screen above the Martial Platform.

It's a science video about the Origin Land.

Lin Zichen raised an eyebrow.

He thought it was just the instructor giving a verbal explanation, but it turned out to be a video.

It was more professional than I expected.

I glanced at the progress bar; it was less than 5 minutes long.

It's so short, no wonder it's called a simple science popularization.

Soon.

The science video has started playing.

Lin Zichen watched attentively the entire time, not missing a single frame.

The video is divided into four parts.

[Part 1, What is the Origin Land this place?]

The environment of the Origin Land is similar to that of Earth.

There are animals, plants, mountains, sea, sun, and moon.

The difference is that the resources in the Origin Land are far more abundant than those on Earth.

It contains a large number of rare and precious natural materials with extremely high evolutionary value.

It can give rise to organisms with higher levels of life.

Therefore, the plants and animals in the Origin Land are larger and have a slightly strange appearance, looking like fantasy creatures from movies and TV shows.

Also, the sun and moon in the Origin Land look quite different from those on Earth.

This is mainly reflected in the color.

The sun and moon in the Origin Land are a bit reddish, which looks very eerie.

The prevailing view is that the abundance of resources in the Origin Land compared to those on Earth is inextricably linked to the presence of the sun and moon in that Origin Land.

After reading this first part, Lin Zichen had a preliminary understanding of the Origin Land.

Simply put, the Origin Land is a distorted version of Earth.

The resources inside are richer, and the creatures are more powerful.

[Part Two: Is the Origin Land a Blessing or a Curse for Humanity?]

Currently, the Origin Land is more of a hindrance than a blessing for humanity.

Moreover, it is far greater than that.

The problem lies in the fact that intelligent beings from the Origin Land have been trying to invade Earth and carry out a dimensional reduction attack on it.

The so-called intelligent beings of the Origin Land are mostly various humanoid Exotic Beast —or simply Beastman.

The Beastman invaded by using the root system of a special spatial plant to create a Biological Passage connecting the two worlds.

Then they would enter Earth through the portal and carry out a one-sided invasion.

Currently, there are 44 known inter- Biological Passage on Earth.

Nine of these are located in Jiuzhou Nation, including Shanhai City, spanning the provincial regions of Capital City, Nanjiang, Dajiang, and Gaohe.

Having discussed misfortune, let's now talk about fortune.

The blessing is simple: it means that humans can enter the Origin Land the interdimensional Biological Passage, obtain richer evolutionary resources, and thus evolve into higher-level beings.

[Part Three: What is the current state of humanity?]

Unfortunately, the current state of humanity is not optimistic.

In short, it can be summed up in four words: internal and external troubles.

The situation is extremely dire, with internal Human Traitor and Origin Land biological invasion.

The main reason for this situation is the vast disparity in strength between humans and the creatures of the Origin Land, which is almost one-sided.

Humanity has survived to this day thanks to the protection of the Boundary Force.

Under the suppression of the Boundary Force, creatures from the Origin Land experience a significant reduction in strength upon arriving on Earth.

The stronger you are, the more you lose.

Conversely, humans experience very little suppression from the Boundary Force when entering the Origin Land.

Moreover, the stronger one is, the less suppression one receives.

However, there is bad news: for some unknown reason, the suppressive effect of the Boundary Force on the Origin Land creatures on Earth is becoming weaker and weaker.

It is decreasing year by year.

As time goes on, it will most likely lose its suppressive effect completely someday.

This is why a small minority of people believe that humanity has no future and choose to betray their race and become Human Traitor.

[Part Four: How Can Humanity Save Itself?]

Humanity currently employs three main self-rescue strategies.

1. Occupy the entrance to the Biological Passage and establish strongholds on both sides of the entrance to prevent the Origin Land creatures from entering.

Second, enter the Origin Land to obtain evolutionary resources and strengthen yourself.

Third, cleanse the earth of Human Traitor and Exotic Beast.

These three guidelines may seem short, but they are extremely difficult to implement, and a large number of people sacrifice their lives every year.

These martyrs sacrificed their lives for the future of humanity.

55% are Gene Fusionist.

11% are Mechanical Cyborg.

34% are ordinary people, mainly security guards and ordinary soldiers.

The reason why Gene Fusionist account for the highest proportion of martyrs is that their battlefields are mostly in the perilous Origin Land.

The living environment in the Origin Land is extremely harsh, and the casualty rate is extremely high when carrying out missions there.

It can be said that the fact that humans can live relatively peacefully on Earth today is largely due to the sacrifices made by Gene Fusionist in their Origin Land.

This is why Gene Fusionist enjoy a privileged status on Earth.

It was all earned through contributions.

Of course, their own strength is also one of the reasons.

That's all.

The educational video about the Origin Land the virus has finished playing.

After reading it, Lin Zichen felt as if a new world had opened up for him, and he was filled with curiosity about the Origin Land.

Unfortunately, the science video is too short, less than 5 minutes long, which is not enough to watch.

"Okay, that's the end of the video."

Lu Tianrong turned off the large screen above the Martial Platform and looked at the crowd below, saying, "If anyone has any questions, please ask now."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Zichen raised his hand to ask a question.

Unfortunately, Lin Zichen was a step too slow, and Zhang Kai beat him to it.

Zhang Kai asked, "Instructor, weren't you told that you can't take pictures inside the Origin Land? How was this science video made?"

Lu Tianrong replied, "This Origin Land science video wasn't filmed; the footage was entirely created on a computer using 3D modeling technology."

"I see."

Zhang Kai nodded.

After he finished asking his question, Lin Zichen immediately raised his hand and asked, "Instructor, what kinds of evolutionary resources are typically found in the Origin Land?"

Lu Tianrong replied, "Various exotic flowers Exotic Fruit, Exotic Beast Meat, Beast Core, Energy Ore, and so on."

"Beast Core?"

This was the first time Lin Zichen had ever heard this term.

None of the books I've read before have mentioned anything about Beast Core.

"It's normal that you don't know about Beast Core."

Lu Tianrong explained, "This is an energy core that can only be nurtured by Advanced or higher Origin Land creatures. Whether it's Gene Reagent or mechanical equipment, the production process requires Beast Core."

Lin Zichen nodded, indicating that he understood.

In the following time, he asked many more questions about the Origin Land.

For example:

What is the strongest creature in the Origin Land?

How large is the Origin Land?

What similarities exist between the intelligent beings in the Origin Land and humans?

... etc.

Lu Tianrong answered Lin Zichen's questions very patiently.

However, due to his limited knowledge of the Origin Land, he was unable to answer most of the questions.

Human exploration of the Origin Land is still in a very nascent stage.

Many questions remain a mystery, shrouded in uncertainty.

Lu Tianrong was just a minor leader in a local Military District, and his knowledge of the Origin Land was only slightly more than what was shown in the popular science videos. It was normal that he couldn't answer Lin Zichen's question.

"Alright, time's almost up. The Q&A session is now over."

After finishing his sentence, Lu Tianrong continued, "After ten days of practice, I believe everyone will be quite familiar with using their weapons."

"Therefore, starting tomorrow, we will be going out for special combat training."

"The purpose of this practical training is to cultivate everyone's teamwork skills."

"After watching the science video, everyone should now understand how dangerous the Origin Land is."

"In that kind of place, going it alone is almost certain death; you have to team up."

"You all need to take advantage of your youth, before you're Shine and Contribute in the Origin Land, and quickly hone your team skills on Earth."

Lu Tianrong continued, "Tomorrow's field combat training mission is to wipe out a branch of the Divine Plant Cult located in Shanhai City."

"Regarding this branch, the information I currently have is that the branch leader is a secondary Gene Fusionist, having fused the genes of the Shadow Night Cat and the Ghost Shadow Giant Shark. His Biological Rank is as high as the Great Perfection of the Ordinary Tier 9, only one step away from the Advanced."

"In addition, there are more than ten cultists whose Biological Rank range from the Ordinary Tier 4 to the Ordinary Rank 8."

" Eradicating such a force will be a huge challenge for you."

"However, if you cooperate well, you can completely wipe them out."

At this point, Lu Tianrong's voice suddenly rose. "Does everyone have confidence?!"

Yes! x20

The crowd below the stage shouted in unison.

Lu Tianrong nodded in satisfaction, then said to everyone, "Meet at the playground at 6 a. m. tomorrow. Everyone, get a good rest tonight."

He left those words behind and turned to leave the Weapon Room without lingering for a moment.

After he left, the Weapon Room immediately became lively.

Everyone is discussing tomorrow's practical training.

I feel excited.

I'm nervous.

I can't wait.

After a period of aimless discussion, the group quickly gathered together to discuss a battle plan.

Among them, someone suggested that a captain should be chosen to lead the entire team.

After all, it's a small team of 20 people. Without a leader to take charge, the fight would definitely turn into chaos.

"I'm proposing that Brother Chen be the team leader. Does anyone have any objections?"

Luo Yongjian shouted in a loud voice.

Upon hearing this, the others all chimed in with their opinions:

No objections.

"I have no objection either."

"Brother Chen, you're the strongest among us. We're counting on you tomorrow."

Everyone agreed that Lin Zichen should be the team leader.

After all, might makes right, and making Lin Zichen the captain is what everyone wants, so there's no reason to object.

In response, Lin Zichen smiled and said, "Since everyone has chosen me as the captain, I will do my best to lead this team well. I will need everyone's support and cooperation."

"No problem, I'll definitely cooperate!"

"We must support this!"

"With Brother Chen leading the team, this mission is a sure thing!"

Everyone expressed their support from the bottom of their hearts, without a single objection.

Lin Zichen's formidable strength, displayed on the Martial Platform ten days ago, captivated everyone and earned their recognition.

PS: There's one more chapter, around 2 PM.
