The martial artists on the west side of the mound were somewhat surprised to see Lin Zhen’s team approaching.
Even Captain Wang of the West Third Team couldn’t help but sneer, “I can’t believe you guys actually succeeded in challenging them. The Fifth Team is really useless!”
“Two more weeks, and it’ll be your turn.” Zhao Xiaoman snapped back cheekily.
At this time, other martial artists came over and told them what had just happened. Hearing about Lin Zhen’s team’s devastating performance, the expressions on the faces of the West Third Team members changed constantly before they stopped bickering with Zhao Xiaoman and returned to their own positions.
When Lin Zhen and his team sat down on the fifth row in the western section, the West Fourth Team, which was twenty meters in front of them, turned back and smiled at them in a friendly manner. However, their smiles seemed somewhat ingratiating.
Because in a week’s time, Lin Zhen and his team might challenge the Fourth Team. By building a good relationship now, they might not lose too badly if they were defeated.
Lin Zhen and his team nodded their heads in acknowledgment and looked at the teams in front of them. Lin Zhen had noticed early on that the seats here were not fully occupied, with only two or three people left in each team and the rest had gone to practice.
Martial artists need a lot of time to practice, so it was not necessary for all of them to stay here all the time.
Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said to the other four, “Let’s split into two groups. We don’t all need to stay here, we can take turns.”
“I’ll be with Brother Lin.” Zhao Xiaoman immediately volunteered.
The remaining three were grouped together, claiming to balance their strength. In their view, Lin Zhen’s current strength was already in a league of its own, far above the others.
“Well, Captain, you stay here today, and the three of us will go back and practice.”
Jiang Huai said a word to Lin Zhen, and then he and Li Changying and Lou Qingfeng stood up and left.
Not long after they left, Lin Zhen noticed that a hole in the beehive above was beginning to exude energy nectar.
“Xiao Man, your body hasn’t fully recovered yet, so you don’t move. I’ll fight for it.”
The distance from West Fifth Team to the mound was one hundred and fifty meters, with a team every twenty meters ahead. It was very difficult to
compete for constant scar crystals at such a mscance, ana people usually went to pick up Planet Crystals that no one wanted in front.
Although Zhao Xiaoman knew the chances were slim, she nodded her head in agreement nonetheless.
“It’s going to fall! Get ready!” The people in front of them prepared themselves, watching to see if it was a Constant Star Crystal and ready to snatch it immediately.
The energy nectar grew larger and larger, finally dripping down, sparkling like stars in the air and attracting everyone’s attention.
It fell, landing right on top of a flower, which immediately bloomed, revealing the Star Crystal inside.
“Constant Star Crystal!”
With someone’s shout, everyone seemed to have springs under their butts, and they rushed out in unison, all heading towards the Constant Star Crystal.
The first team was seventy meters away from the mound, and since the Constant Star Crystal didn’t appear on the edge, their actual distance was more than a hundred meters. The second team was another twenty meters further away.
Lin Zhen also took off. As a Spiritual Mind Master, his speed was faster than that of ordinary people. With his feet stepping on a shield that trailed a streak of light, he shot out in an instant!
In the blink of an eye, Lin Zhen had surpassed the martial artists of the West Fourth Team and was catching up to the West Third Team.
“This kid is so fast!” The people of the West Fourth Team were amazed as Lin Zhen raced by like a gust of wind.
At a hundred meters away, Lin Zhen caught up with the West Third Team. Among the War General Level martial artists, none of their Spiritual Power could compare with Lin Zhen’s.
By the time Lin Zhen reached the mound, he was neck and neck with the second team, hot on the heels of the first team.
One of the Spiritual Mind Masters of the first team had already closed in on the Star Crystal, using his shield to charge forward without concern for the mutated honeybees that flew towards him. He was determined to get the Constant Star Crystal first.
Even the first team sometimes returned empty-handed, so every Constant Star Crystal was worth fighting for.
Seeing that he might not catch up, Lin Zhen quietly launched his gravitational pull, attracting several mutated honeybees around the Spiritual Mind Master over to him.
One after another, mutated honeybees were pulled by Lin Zhen’s gravity and rammed into the Mind Master. They hit him with such force that he could barely stay standing on his shield.
“Damn! Are these bees crazy?!”
Due to the delay caused by the bee attack, the Mind Master watched in frustration as the second team surpassed him. He was furious, but there was nothing he could do.
Lin Zhen raced alongside the only Spiritual Mind Master of the second team, both of them rushing towards the Constant Star Crystal.
“Kid! Don’t be too arrogant! This Star Crystal is mine!” Seeing that Lin Zhen was about to overtake him, the Spiritual Mind Master took the lead and threw a flying knife at Lin Zhen’s leg.
However, Lin Zhen didn’t even bother to look. His body tilted at an almost horizontal angle, skimming through the air. With a slight lift of his hand, he obtained the Constant Star Crystal!
As for the flying knife, it only flickered outside his body before being blocked by a golden shield.
Spiritual Shield!
The flying knife didn’t hit its target; as Lin Zhen flew back beside the Spiritual Mind Master, he suddenly turned around and pointed. A golden beam hit the man’s calf.
A small wound appeared on his leg, causing the Mind Master to scream in pain. His speed slowed down, and he was quickly caught up to by the Mutated Honeybee and was viciously stung in the butt.
Lin Zhen returned to Zhao Xiaoman’s side and handed her the Constant Star Crystal, “Xiao Man, absorb this quickly, and the poison in your body will be completely eliminated. ”
“Yes.” Zhao Xiaoman took the Constant Star Crystal, her eyes moist with gratitude, “Brother Lin, I feel that leaving Team West 3 and joining you is the best decision I’ve made in my life.”
“Haha, that means we are quite fated, go ahead and absorb it.”
Zhao Xiaoman began to absorb the Star Crystal, while the other martial artists in the remaining teams stared intently at Lin Zhen.
Although such a situation was not unheard of, it was extremely rare – everyone was fighting over one Constant Star Crystal, yet it ended up in the hands of someone from the fifth team. What a small chance indeed.
This newcomer is not an easy one to deal with!
The injured Mind Master from the second team hurriedly ran to find an antidote to treat himself, not daring to look at Lin Zhen as he passed him by.
Lin Zhen sat down cross-legged to recover and waited for the second drop of honey to fall.
Throughout the day, nine drops of honey fell in the west area, producing five Constant Star Crystals. Team one obtained two, team two obtained one, and the two remaining were taken by Lin Zhen. After all, since the location of each honey drop was different, if it was too close to the first team, he wouldn’t have much chance of fighting for it.
Team West 3 gained nothing, proving Lin Zhen’s curse once again.
Zhao Xiaoman’s poison was completely removed, and she had officially begun to compress the energy in her second Dantian. Lin Zhen absorbed the remaining Constant Star Crystal himself. With one more, he would be able to complete the first compression.
That night, Lin Zhen went home, only to sneak out again at midnight. This time, he obtained three Constant Star Crystals from the east side and two from the west side.
After absorbing the five Constant Star Crystals, Lin Zhen finally completed the first compression of his Dantian Qi, and made great progress on the road to the second compression. Compressing the second level required only thirty Constant Star Crystals.
“Phew! I’ve finally completed the first compression, and my Dantian Qi has doubled!”
Lin Zhen looked at his overflowing Dantian Qi and was satisfied. Only this speed of cultivation could satisfy his demands.
For the entire second day, Lin Zhen digested his gains from the previous night in the tree hollow while Zhao Xiaoman cultivated beside him.
In the evening, Li Changying and the others returned, excitedly discussing their day – they had also obtained two Constant Star Crystals.
Each time a Constant Star Crystal appeared, all three of them would work together, their coordination extremely impressive, which made the other martial artists look at them with new respect.
That night, Lin Zhen again snuck out to secretly “enjoy a late-night snack”, obtaining four more Constant Star Crystals.
In this manner, a week’s time had passed. After handing in some taxes to Tong Huan, Lin Zhen completed two compressions of his Dantian Qi and led his team to defeat the fourth-ranked team. This time it was a team battle; the five of them easily defeated the people of Team West 4 like slicing through vegetables.
As for Team West 4, they had no intention of resisting; after a few symbolic strikes, they surrendered and voluntarily demoted themselves to Team West 5.
Once again, the martial artists inside the Beehive witnessed the strength of Lin Zhen’s team. Although the members of his team might not have the highest cultivation Realm, their strength was exceptionally impressive.
At this point, Lin Zhen’s squad had truly established itself within the Beehive, attracting the admiration and support of many newcomers.
In the fourth position, Team West 3’s days of suffering were approaching. Lin Zhen and his team targeted Team West 3 intentionally; whenever a Star Crystal appeared, they would fight for it, depriving Team West 3 of any gains for six consecutive days.
With the challenge day approaching, Jiang Huai and his teammates were optimistic, believing that they would definitely succeed in challenging Team West 3 tomorrow. The current strength of their team was only slightly inferior to Team West 2, and after defeating Team West 3 and consolidating their strength for two months, challenging Team West 2 should not be a big problem.
However, Lin Zhen didn’t share their optimism. The people of Team West 3 had been silent these days, not even bothering to argue with Lin Zhen and his team. But looking at their demeanor, it seemed they were not willing to give up.
On the morning of the second day, the whole team set out, for it was the weekly challenge day. Lin Zhen had informed Tong Huan yesterday that he intended to challenge Team West 3 today.
When they arrived at the arena, they found that the members of Team West 3 were already waiting there, surrounded by quite a few spectators.
Zhao Xiaoman was the first to step forward and said to Team West 3’s captain, “Captain Wang, your days are numbered; today will be your last day in the third position.”
However, Captain Wang sneered, “Don’t dream, I can tell you that from now on, none of you will advance a single step further. Just stay in fourth place.” Zhao Xiaoman laughed and pointed at Wang’s teammates, “You mean these
Unexpectedly, Captain Wang shook his head, “No, they’re not here to fight today, they’re just here to watch. They’re no longer part of Team West 3.” “They’re not? Then who is?” asked Zhao Xiaoman, startled.
Wang pointed behind Zhao Xiaoman, “There, they’ve arrived. My new teammates, welcome the Four Gods of Sky Dome..”
