The angels descended

He had just advanced to a third generation divine body anyway, so it was time to get properly accustomed to his strength.

For a while afterward, Lin Ran trained with Qilin. With the advantages his third generation body gave him, he was like a fish in water during training-a true hexagonal warrior.

One day, Lin Ran was chatting with Qilin during training when he suddenly turned toward the sky. He sensed an immensely powerful dark force descending, and his figure abruptly vanished.

With the computing power provided by his Dark Alloy Armor and the Cangtian Engine, Lin Ran had easily mastered wormhole technology.

The next moment, Lin Ran appeared in midair and looked toward Huang Village. He discovered that dark power had already shrouded the place, and he could not read any information from within.

"Morgana? Come to think of it, could Morgana help me upgrade my god body? She's a major boss, so she should have plenty of energy, right?"

[Host, that is not the case. Gene collision depends on genetic potential, not the genetic strength already developed.]

"So that's how it works. Forget it, then. I'll keep setting my sights on Qiangwei. The energy needed to upgrade this third generation divine body to a fourth generation god body has shot straight up. Qiangwei alone is nowhere near enough. I still need Rena, that power bank! Or an angel!"

[The Cangtian Gene System's exclusive Gene Weapon, the Azure Heaven War Halberd, has finished generating! Summon it?]

"I get an exclusive weapon too?" Pleasantly surprised, Lin Ran summoned the halberd. A cyan divine halberd appeared in his hand, looking quite imposing.

[The Azure Heaven War Halberd can directly destroy a god body's genetic system. Its power is terrifying. Host, exercise caution when using it!]

"Badass! It's actually a Gene Weapon! That's way stronger than those Dark Alloy Weapons."

"Right, I remember those God-Slaying Weapons and Void Weapons can also attack enemies on genetic and conceptual levels, can't they? How do they stack up against the Azure Heaven War Halberd?"

"God-Slaying Weapons and Void Weapons only possess a certain degree of offensive capability in those areas. Completely destroying a target's genetic engine in the Dark Plane is not easy. The Azure Heaven War Halberd can do it effortlessly!"

"Okay!"

Lin Ran's Dark Alloy Weapon was still being manufactured with overtime work. After all, the Super God Academy had not prepared a weapon for him initially.

After returning to the team, Lin Ran went to find Qilin again. Qilin was his first woman in this world. The others remained undecided, but he would not act like a stud horse, sleeping with every beautiful woman he saw.

"Where did you go?" Qilin pounded him a few times in displeasure.

"Nothing. An alien arrived."

Three days later, everyone was eating. Lin Ran and Qilin sat across from each other, while Ge Xiaolun, Liu Chuang, and the others discussed which goddess was the prettiest. Naturally, they did not dare discuss Qilin. Lin Ran had given each of them a beating during this time, and they had tacitly accepted that Qilin was his woman.

Rena suddenly received a phone call, and her expression immediately turned serious.

"Comrades, our first mission is here. The Victorious Fighting Buddha of legend has awakened! Our superiors have ordered us to deploy immediately!"

"The Victorious Fighting Buddha? You mean Sun Wukong!"

Ge Xiaolun and the others headed to Liangshan, but Lin Ran did not go along to join the fun. Instead, he went with Rena to meet Angel Yan.

"If I call you a little girl, you won't jump over here and hit me, will you?"

"Of course not, you old hag."

Lin Ran laughed aloud as he listened to their bickering. Angel Yan's attention shifted to him, and her eyes turned white. Lin Ran knew she was reading information about this world and himself.

"What an interesting little boy. I actually can't read your information."

While teasing him, Angel Yan contacted Queen Kaisa.

"Your Majesty, requesting access to the Knowledge Vault. I've encountered a human. It's strange-I can't read his information."

"Granted!"

Even with the Knowledge Vault's support, Angel Yan still could not compute Lin Ran's god body, much less obtain his genetic information.

"Don't waste your effort. Even if your queen came herself, she couldn't compute me."

"Azure Heaven, try reading Yan's information!"

[Target: Angel Yan! Reading---]

[1%--3%--]

[Insufficient permissions. Reading failed! Analyzing---]

Angel Yan and Lin Ran immediately began competing in computing power. The Cangtian Engine's built-in 32-frequency core processing speed was terrifying. Although Angel Yan had connected to the Knowledge Vault, she had ultimately only obtained some of its permissions, so she really was no match for Lin Ran in computing power.

[Analysis complete! Reading character information---]

[Reading complete! Target is a third generation super soldier. Gene model: thunder gene! Equipped with a Sub-Biological Engine.]

Yan was startled. The man before her had actually forced his way into her information. After she reported this to Kaisa, the King of the Gods also took an interest and said she would personally visit Earth after a while.

"Angel Yan, sorry for the trouble, but could you pass a message to your queen? I'd like to meet the Heavenly Base King, He Xi. If she doesn't want to come, I can go find her."

"Oh? May I ask why?"

"Heh, it's nothing I need to hide. I want to use her knowledge to create my own Celestial Computer. Of course, I'll offer her corresponding benefits too. Just pass that along for me."

"All right, I'll relay your message." Angel Yan winked at Lin Ran, then flapped her wings and shot into the sky.

"I couldn't tell at all. You're already planning to create your own Celestial Computer? If you're so powerful, why did you join the Super God Academy? Because of Qilin?"

"Partly. Why don't you say it was because of you? After all, the vast majority of the credit for my advancement to a third generation divine body goes to you."

"What? You already have a third generation divine body? An actual god body?"

"Uh-my god body is a little different from what you understand. In the early stages, I only need enough energy to advance. But without support from a genetic system and a Knowledge Vault, my god body is just an empty shell. So right now, when it comes purely to fighting, I can only overwhelm Xiaolun and the others with brute strength and speed."

"No, what I'm curious about is how little time it's been since your genetic engine activated, yet you've already advanced to a third generation divine body. Looks like your potential might be even greater than Xiaolun's."

Lin Ran did not dispute that. It was simply a fact. His potential had no upper limit; it all depended on how he proceeded. According to System, he would have to advance to an eighth generation god body before he could hunt Void King Beasts without any danger. For someone as cautious as Lin Ran, following System's advice was a must!

"Let's go meet the warrior of legend, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!" Compared with the Victorious Fighting Buddha, Lin Ran preferred the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!

Lin Ran opened a wormhole and slipped away, leaving Rena staring blankly. What the hell? I don't know that move! He just left me here!

There was nothing Lin Ran could do either. Rena's god body had a very high level of encryption, and he could not compute it yet, so naturally, he could not transport her.

He arrived just as the monkey sent Qilin flying with a swing of his staff. Lin Ran hurriedly caught her and set her down on the ground.

"You okay?"

"I'm fine. I just need a moment."

"Watch me get revenge for you!" Lin Ran chuckled, charged straight forward, and slammed a fist into Monkey Brother's Ruyi Jingu Bang.

What followed became a battlefield for Lin Ran and Monkey Brother. Lin Ran had a third generation divine body but little else, while Monkey Brother was seriously injured and could not wield even a tenth of his full strength, so the two traded blows evenly.

Just after Monkey Brother knocked Lin Ran flying with his staff, Lin Ran closed his right hand, and the Azure Heaven War Halberd appeared in his grasp. Even Monkey Brother grew solemn. He did not know what weapon Lin Ran held, but his instincts told him it could take his life.

Just as the situation descended into awkwardness, Liu Chuang's voice rang out.

"Holy shit! Brother Ran, that weapon is way too cool!"

"Yeah, Brother Ran, where'd you get it? Don't tell me Sister Na gave it to you?"

"Can I touch it?" Zhao Xin even knelt right beside it, moving his hands back and forth over the weapon.

Lin Ran shot the three an exasperated glance. Did the monkey send these three clowns? At a time like this, they're actually focused on my weapon.

"No, it came with my genetic system. You guys don't have one."

"Don't do this to us!" The three let out a chorus of ghostly wails and wolfish howls. Lin Ran simply put his weapon away and rewarded each of them with a punch.

"Monkey Brother, I suppose we wouldn't have gotten acquainted without a fight." Lin Ran looked at Sun Wukong and chuckled.

"It's been a long time since anyone called me Monkey Brother." Sun Wukong gave Lin Ran a complicated look. That "Monkey Brother" seemed to awaken many memories he had already lost.
