Shocking the City's Leaders

"What's going on?!"

"What on earth happened in the woods?!"

"An attack by the Divine Plant Cult?!"

Inside the city, many people noticed the enormous Tree Cage that Lin Zichen had created in the blink of an eye.

Everyone was stunned by what they saw, feeling a mixture of disbelief and fear of death.

City No. 1 was heavily guarded; not even a fly could get in.

The Divine Plant Cult was actually able to launch such a large-scale attack within the city.

This indicates that there must be high-ranking officials acting as informants within the city, and the situation is extremely serious.

A major battle is destined to break out today.

A great battle that resulted in countless deaths and injuries.

"Quickly, the commander of the Emergency Department, organize personnel to check the situation!"

As soon as the sound rang out, a large number of powerful individuals within the city soared into the sky, flying rapidly towards the Tree Cage.

Everyone looked solemn, prepared for a fight to the death.

On the other side.

Qin Chuan and other city leaders had arrived above the Tree Cage, their faces filled with disbelief, unable to believe that what they were seeing was real.

They arrived above Lin Zichen and the others before the Tree Cage had even formed.

I watched as Lin Zichen unleashed his spiritual power, manipulating towering trees to form Tree Cage, summoning thick, scarlet vines to weave a canopy that blotted out the sun.

This scene left them all completely dumbfounded.

"What's going on? How can this newbie control plants and summon vines?"

"Is he Heretic Cult of the Divine Plant Cult?"

"No, the issue isn't whether he's a Heretic Cult or not, but that he's Pure-Blood Human with no Exotic Beast genes at all. How did he manage to control plants and summon vines?"

"Could it be that his Mental Power is so strong that he can control plants remotely?"

"Impossible. No matter how strong his Mental Power is, can it be stronger than ours? Even we can't do this, so how could he?"

So what exactly happened?

"..."

The leaders were all talking at once, and almost none of them understood what was actually going on.

Only Qin Chuan, the City Lord, fell into deep thought.

Lin Zichen is not Gene Fusionist, yet he can manipulate plants and summon vines like Heretic Cult the Divine Plant Cult.

There are two possible explanations for this situation.

The first possibility is that Lin Zichen is a celestial master who has survived from the Age of Gods, or a descendant of a celestial master.

The second possibility is that Lin Zichen is not from Earthling.

Either possibility is shocking and unbelievable.

Tree Cage.

Under the leadership of Lan Tianbai.

The team's Exotic Human Tier geniuses quickly and skillfully set up their positions, ready for a desperate battle.

Seeing this, Shen Qinghan wanted to speak up and remind everyone that this was not an attack by the Divine Plant Cult, but rather the work of Lin Zichen.

But before she could say anything, she saw Lin Zichen shake his head, signaling her not to say it.

Lin Zichen wanted to see if he could single-handedly defeat an entire team of geniuses of the Exotic Human Tier.

That's a bit too much.

But he really wanted to try.

I want to test my full potential and see what level I'm at.

A cheater should have cheat-like combat power and should completely crush their peers.

Otherwise, it wouldn't do justice to the title of "cheater".

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

A piercing whistling sound rang out.

Under Lin Zichen's mental manipulation.

Countless scarlet, thick vines fell from the vine net at the top of the Tree Cage, shooting down like venomous snakes towards Lan Tianbai and the others below.

Faced with the fierce onslaught of vines, Lan Tianbai instantly unleashed his inner energy, wielding his longsword with all his might, unleashing a sword aura carrying the force of a thousand armies.

As soon as the sword energy was unleashed, the surrounding air surged and billowed like giant waves at sea, creating a terrifying shockwave.

Soon!

A sound like something breaking was heard.

The overwhelming Crimson Vine were instantly cleaved into large pieces of wood by the sword energy, which slowly fell like snowflakes in winter.

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

A dull thud was heard.

Suddenly, a large number of Crimson Vine broke through the soil beneath the Lan Tianbai ground.

As soon as these vines appeared, they immediately wrapped around Lan Tianbai's body, binding him into an airtight cocoon, leaving him hanging precariously in mid-air.

At the same time.

Besides Lin Zichen and Shen Qinghan, all the other Exotic Human Tier geniuses in the team were also entangled in Crimson Vine like cicada cocoons, hanging in mid-air, swaying precariously along with Lan Tianbai.

At a glance.

It looked like countless corpses of people who had hanged themselves were hanging there.

It sent chills down my spine.

A chill ran down my spine.

"They were all beaten so badly they couldn't fight back at all..."

Shen Qinghan stared blankly at the eerie scene above her, a sense of powerlessness instantly welling up in her heart.

She always thought she had caught up with Lin Zichen.

But as things stand now, the gap remains so large it's almost disheartening.

Lin Zichen's current Biological Rank is only Advanced Tier 7, yet he was able to wipe out an entire team of geniuses of the Exotic Human Tier in just a few seconds.

The strength they displayed was so formidable that it left no room for even the slightest thought of catching up.

"I don't want to be Peerless Twin Stars anymore. Being Lin Zi's little woman is just fine..." Shen Qinghan thought with some discouragement, giving up on catching up with Lin Zichen.

It wasn't that she didn't want to persevere, it was just that Lin Zichen was too exaggerated, making her see no hope of continuing.

"Sizzle--!"

A crisp cracking sound rang out.

Lan Tianbai, whose entire body was entangled in vines like a cicada pupa, struggled to break free of the vines and transformed into a giant Birdman, breaking free from its restraints.

Rare Tier 3 expert, indeed powerful... Lin Zichen thought to himself, and the next second, he summoned a large number of thick Crimson Vine that surged towards Lan Tianbai.

This scene was strikingly similar to the time when the Ninth Elder of the Divine Plant Cult captured him in the Coastal Forest.

Ahead, Lan Tianbai sensed danger.

He immediately unleashed his inner energy, flapping his wings to shoot out the sharp feathers.

"Swish... swish... whoosh!"

A crisp cutting sound rang out.

All the vines that shot towards the Lan Tianbai were instantly shredded into fragments by the feathers carrying a large amount of vital energy, which then dissipated and disappeared into the air.

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

"Buzz!"

Lin Zichen wanted to try to defeat Lan Tianbai, so he once again manipulated a large number of Crimson Vine to surge towards him.

Lan Tianbai, suspended in mid-air, never once looked down.

Upon sensing more vines shooting upwards from below, he instantly lost all fighting spirit and chose to rush towards the top of the Tree Cage at top speed.

He knew that he couldn't possibly eliminate those thick Crimson Vine on his own, and leaving them would be pointless.

It would be better to escape the Tree Cage and seek help from outside.

"Whoosh--!"

A series of muffled, chaotic snapping sounds followed.

With a burst of energy, Lan Tianbai successfully broke through the sturdy vine netting and escaped the suffocating Tree Cage.

Then, in the next moment, he froze completely.

He saw that most of the city's leaders were hovering above the Tree Cage, discussing Lin Zichen, who had only recently joined the team.

His appearance caused several leaders to stop talking and glance at him.

But he only glanced at it briefly before looking away and continuing to discuss Lin Zichen.

Lan Tianbai is a little confused.

The leaders clearly saw the Tree Cage and knew the Divine Plant Cult was launching an attack in the city, so why did they all turn a blind eye?

What exactly is going on?

Still in a daze, Lan Tianbai listened to the leaders' conversation for a while, and soon his eyes widened as he wondered if he was hallucinating.

What the heck?

Was this Tree Cage created by Lin Zichen through manipulation of plants?

Even those fierce, Crimson Vine, were they summoned by him?

What on earth is going on?!

Lan Tianbai was completely bewildered and couldn't understand the discussion he was hearing.

Just then, a violent earthquake shook the ground.

"Boom--!"

Following the sound, Lan Tianbai looked down and discovered that the Tree Cage below was actually disintegrating.

Countless towering trees, some reaching hundreds of meters in height, were uprooted and quickly returned to their original positions to re-establish their roots.

Numerous thick, scarlet vines, like venomous snakes returning to their burrows, instantly burrowed into the ground and disappeared.

This massive process lasted less than ten seconds.

The enormous Tree Cage and the lush, Crimson Vine vanished without a trace, as if everything they had just seen was an illusion.

The next second, Lan Tianbai saw the leaders who had been hovering in the air descend one after another to the open space below, eagerly coming to Lin Zichen's side.

Could everything that just happened really have been Zichen's doing?

But how is that possible?

Filled with confusion, Lan Tianbai quickly followed the leaders and landed in front of Lin Zichen.

On the ground.

When Shen Qinghan saw so many important figures suddenly appear in front of her, she felt her legs go weak and nervously shrank behind Lin Zichen.

In contrast to her, Lin Zichen remained calm and showed no fear whatsoever.

From the moment he chose to reveal his full strength, he had already anticipated this scene.

This is precisely his purpose in demonstrating his abilities.

"Lin Zichen, how did you manage to control so many plants to form a 100-meter-long Tree Cage?"

"Also, how were you able to summon those thick, Crimson Vine?"

"Such methods are exclusively used by Heretic Cult of the Divine Plant Cult."

Qin Chuan looked at Lin Zichen in front of him, his resolute, square face full of doubt.

Lin Zichen didn't explain fully, he just said this simply:

"My constitution is somewhat special; I can acquire the abilities of other living beings. As for how I acquired them, that involves my privacy and I cannot disclose that information."

"This is indeed inconvenient."

Qin Chuan nodded in understanding.

In the Origin Land, many powerful beings possess their own secrets of evolution.

As long as you don't say it yourself, others won't ask or investigate further.

Otherwise, it would be a blatant provocation, leading to a conflict that could result in death or serious injury.

"Secretary Guan."

Qin Chuan called out softly.

Soon, a smartly dressed woman with short hair stepped out from the crowd and said respectfully:

"City Lord, I'm here."

"Take him to the warehouse to collect his reward; he can choose any three Rare Tier Exotic Fruit."

Qin Chuan remained completely expressionless.

He knew that Lin Zichen's sudden display of his strength was simply a way to gain more resources for evolution.

This is something you can figure out without even thinking.

If he can't even figure this out, then he shouldn't be the City Lord.

"Alright, I understand, City Lord."

Secretary Guan quickly walked up to Lin Zichen and was about to lead him to the storeroom.

Before setting off, Secretary Guan asked, "Can you fly?"

"Meeting."

Lin Zichen was a man of few words.

As early as the day he felt he possessed Rare Tier of skill, he had tried to fly by channeling his Mental Power under the blessing of [Higher Spirit].

The result was a great success; one can now fly freely.

The problem is that my flying skills aren't very good, so I have to use more Mental Power and can't fly very far.

"Since you can fly, then come with me."

The moment he finished speaking, Secretary Guan released his Mental Power and flew into the sky.

Seeing this, Lin Zichen also released his Mental Power and flew up, saying to Shen Qinghan below:

"Go back to your dorm and wait for me. I'll be back soon."

He only recently mastered the skills of pre-controlled flight.

Flying alone is fine, but carrying someone else would be quite strenuous.

There's no need for that.

Not long after Lin Zichen left, the Exotic Human Tier who had escaped from the vines looked at each other, their faces filled with disbelief.

Even at this moment, they still refused to believe that Lin Zichen possessed such great strength, preferring to believe they were dreaming.

For this reason, there was also an Exotic Human Tier genius who was slapping himself repeatedly, hoping to wake himself up from this absurd dream.

Unfortunately, reality eventually told him that it was all in vain.

Facts are facts, not a dream.

The warehouse of City No. 1.

This is a standalone building with walls made of a special mineral, inlaid with numerous blue crystals, radiating a chilling coldness.

The entire warehouse is like a giant low-temperature cold storage room, used to preserve all kinds of fresh food.

Secretary Guan led Lin Zichen in silently and with light steps, stopping in front of a sealed wall that contained a large number of exotic flowers Exotic Fruit.

She turned her head to look at Lin Zichen beside her, and said in a sophisticated voice:

"All the Exotic Fruit on this wall are of Rare Tier quality; you can choose any three."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Zichen responded, his gaze fixed on the exotic Exotic Fruit inside the wall.

Star Grass that emits twinkling starlight.

Blood Dragon Grass shrouded in blood mist.

The Black Phoenix Flower burning with black flames.

The Three-Immortal Qilin Fruit is a bright red fruit, as red as Essence Blood.

The Nine-Turn Soul Yin Fruit, spreading with ice flowers...

Lin Zichen curiously examined the Exotic Fruit in the wall, admiring their unusual appearance while also browsing their descriptions.

After watching for a few minutes, Lin Zichen looked at Secretary Guan beside him and asked:

"Can we only choose Exotic Fruit? Can we also choose exotic flowers or exotic plants?"

"Certainly."

Secretary Guan gave an affirmative reply.

Upon hearing this, Lin Zichen hesitated for a moment before finally choosing a Black Phoenix Flower, a Three-Immortal Qilin Fruit, and a Nine-Turn Soul Yin Fruit.

These three rare and precious herbs are: Black Phoenix Flower, which can enhance self-healing ability; Three-Immortal Qilin Fruit, which can improve blood and qi; Nine-Turn Soul-Yin Fruit, which can enhance spirit.

They were all chosen randomly.

There was no specific choice to be made.

The main point is to spread the benefits evenly, choosing one item from each category to avoid repetition.

Soon, Secretary Guan took out the three rare and precious herbs, put them into a specially crafted wooden box, and said to Lin Zichen:

"Consume it as soon as possible, otherwise improper storage will reduce its effectiveness."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for reminding me Secretary Guan."

Lin Zichen nodded.

After saying that, he didn't stay in the warehouse any longer and soon left to go back to his dormitory.

Before he left, Secretary Guan said to him, "If you're free tonight, remember to go to the City Lord's office at midnight sharp. The City Lord wants to talk to you about something."

"Okay, I understand."

Lin Zichen nodded, then with a thought, he flew away at top speed.

At this moment, he could clearly feel the energy draining from the three rare and precious materials inside the wooden box.

I need to take it back to the dorm as soon as possible to share it with Shen Qinghan; I shouldn't waste a second more.
