Chapter 159 Two Years Later (Fourth Update)
After listening to Zhang Sicheng's introduction, Lin Zhen finally had a basic understanding of the situation here.
Lin Zhen knew about Dantian Qi compression, but he didn't have this opportunity in his previous life. Warriors who could compress Dantian Qi were all elites and geniuses, and he was not qualified.
Among the three major areas in the Star Fruit Tree, the Sky Dome is the strongest, followed by the Beehive, and the Ant Hole is the worst.
Lin Zhen wanted to go to the sky to save Su Mingyue, but it was not possible for the time being. He still needed time to practice and calm down.
Without asking Zhang Sicheng any more questions, Lin Zhen let him go.
But soon after Lin Zhen came back, he saw Brother Guang going out, and Lin Zhen knew that Zhang Sicheng was probably finished.
After a while, Brother Guang came back, looked at Lin Zhen, but didn't speak. Lin Zhen didn't speak to him either. The two of them were like strangers.
Occupying the third place in the central group, the next day was the day for picking. This time, the three masters Lin Zhen, Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng went to the ant nest together, and indeed the harvest was huge. They got more than 20 comet crystals alone, five or six satellite crystals, and three planetary crystals.
Some were given to Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie, and the remaining comet crystals were absorbed by Lin Zhen, and his strength increased a lot again.
Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng are also still making progress. Jiang Huai is a ninth-level warrior, but he has not yet reached his peak. For the time being, he cannot compress the Qi in his Dantian and is not suitable for absorbing stellar crystals.
In the days that followed, everything gradually calmed down.
People would not mention Su Mingyue in front of Lin Zhen, and Lin Zhen seemed to have forgotten this person and devoted himself to cultivation.
A week later, someone challenged Lin Zhen's team and failed.
Three weeks later, Lin Zhen advanced to the middle stage of level five warrior and challenged the second ranked group on the central tree branch, but also failed.
Three months later, Lin Zhen was promoted to the sixth-level warrior and successfully challenged the second-ranked group. He now has two days of picking time every week.
Generally speaking, a warrior only needs one day to pick star crystals, because absorbing star crystals is similar to eating. You can't eat too much at one time, and it always takes time to digest.
But this kind of thing is not a problem at all for Lin Zhen. There is a dark star in his dantian, which can absorb and contain more dantian qi, and even store it in the dark star, so he absorbs the star crystals without caring about his life.
Among the few people, although Lin Zhen's realm was the lowest, his progress was the fastest. He surpassed Sun Tie within three months.
Another group ranked third challenged Lin Zhen and his team, but they all failed without exception, because not only Lin Zhen was improving, Jiang Huai reached the peak of level nine, and Lou Qingfeng also advanced to the peak of level eight.
After six months, Lin Zhen successfully broke through the limit of the sixth-level general and was promoted to the seventh-level general. His realm was already on par with Ma Mingxing.
After advancing, Lin Zhen chose to challenge the top-ranked team, but was unsuccessful.
Lin Zhen did not show any sign of frustration after the failure. Before Friday and Saturday, Lin Zhen spent most of his time fighting in the anthill. The central branch was indeed blessed by nature, and he obtained a large number of star crystals. However, stellar crystals were still rare. However, Lin Zhen only needed satellite crystals at present, which were enough.
Occasionally, the team would obtain a star crystal, which would be given to Jiang Huai to absorb, so that he could compress the Dantian Qi earlier.
A year later, Lin Zhen was eighteen years old and almost nineteen years old, and he was finally promoted to the eighth-level general on New Year's Day.
At this time, Ma Mingxing also reached level eight, Sun Tie had just been promoted to level seven, Jiang Huai alone took up all the star crystals in the team, and the Dantian Qi finally completed a layer of compression.
Lou Qingfeng had also advanced to level nine at this time, and they all began to need planetary crystals.
This time, Lin Zhen once again challenged the top-ranked team. This time, Lin Zhen showed his bravery and used all his means in the battle. Among them, his mental impact knocked down the opponent's top master, which made people fear Lin Zhen.
In the team, Lin Zhen, Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng are all spiritual masters, but Lin Zhen's realm is already the highest, and he actually reached the golden peak within a year!
Occupying the first place on the central branch, Lin Zhen's team has become the strongest team in the ant nest. They have four days a week to pick star crystals. At this time, Lin Zhen's dark star power began to emerge. He was able to absorb star crystals almost every day, and his realm improvement speed began to far exceed that of others.
After a year and a half, Lin Zhen was promoted to the ninth-level general, and was almost on the same level as Lou Qingfeng.
When the time was almost two years, Lin Zhen reached the peak of the ninth-level warrior and was on the verge of compressing the Dantian Qi, which was exactly the same as Lou Qingfeng.
At this time, Jiang Huai also compressed his Dantian Qi twice, Ma Mingxing was at the peak of level eight, and Sun Tie was at level eight.
During this period of time, they often saw the golden light flickering in Lin Zhen's eyes. Just one look at it would cause their souls to tremble uncontrollably, making people dare not look closely.
At this time, even in the central area of the ant nest, there were not many stellar crystals to be picked. The progress of several people slowed down at the same time, but it was still fast compared to other teams. Jiang Huai, Lou Qingfeng and others were quite satisfied.
With such progress in just two years, they don't ask for much.
During these two years, two new groups of students entered the Star Fruit Tree and began to explore this mysterious world.
To them, Lin Zhen and others are powerful and mysterious predecessors. How powerful must they be to be able to occupy the first place on the central branch?
Today is another day of challenge.
Sun Tie stretched himself and said, "Ah! Life is so boring. No one comes to challenge us. With the three of you here, Ma Mingxing and I have become idlers."
After Lin Zhen absorbed a planetary crystal, he opened his eyes: "You just need to practice more every day. In the past, you were ahead of me in realm, but now you are all left behind by me. Why don't you work hard when you have time?"
Lou Qingfeng, who was standing next to him, glanced at Lin Zhen and shuddered, "Lin Zhen, are you practicing some evil skills? Why do I feel like peeing every time I look at you?"
Lin Zhen laughed dumbly: "The feeling of wanting to pee?"
"Lou Qingfeng is right. Although I have compressed the Dantian Qi twice, I still dare not look into your eyes. Your eyes are sometimes too scary." Jiang Huai also agreed with Lou Qingfeng's opinion.
Ma Mingxing was even more exaggerated: "Lin Zhen, you practice all day long now, you don't know how famous you are now, those new students take a detour when they see you, and call you the big devil behind your back, can't you be a little more humane, practicing all day long is so boring, your handsome face is wasted."
Lin Zhen said: "That's because you didn't work hard enough."
Ma Mingxing immediately said, "We can't compete with you. You are a madman. You practice at an alarming speed. You are not even twenty years old yet, but you are already a ninth-level peak warrior. I guess you are almost ready to advance to the god of war, but you can't do that yet. You still need to compress the Dantian Qi, so you still have a long time to go in the Star Fruit Tree. You should be even more bored than us."
"It seems like you are much older than me." Lin Zhen said with a smile.
"Not much. I'm 22 this year, Sun Tie is also 22, and although Jiang Huai is 21, he's not much older than me. They're both more than two years older than you, and Lou Qingfeng is already 25, and you're still the youngest."
"You can't stay here when you're only in your twenties. You'll be bored to death in the long years ahead."
Ma Mingxing yawned and said, "You can't say that. This is a star fruit tree. I thought it was new when I first came here, but as time went by, there are only leaves and branches, and nothing but bugs. We finally got a group of new students, but we rarely see any girls."
Sun Tie added: "There are two women coming to the Ant Hill this year, and there were two last year as well."
"Don't mention those dinosaurs. If someone could be half as beautiful as Saint Su, I wouldn't be so bored."
"Haha! Saint Su is a one-of-a-kind beauty in the world. If you look for someone according to her standards, you might be bored to death."
"You two have said enough, shut up!" Jiang Huai scolded from the side, and Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie immediately realized that they had said something wrong.
Looking at Lin Zhen again, I saw that Lin Zhen closed his eyes for a moment, and then slowly opened them again.
"I feel bored too, let's find something to do." Lin Zhen clapped his hands and stood up.
"Where are you going?" several people asked Lin Zhen.
"I'm going to leave the ant nest. Are you guys leaving?" Lin Zhen asked.
"Leave? Why should you leave? Isn't it nice here?" asked Ma Mingxing.
Hearing Lin Zhen's words, Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng's eyes lit up: "It's good to leave. We really need a new environment. Lin Zhen, wherever you go, we will go with you."
Lin Zhen thought for a moment and said, "I am going to the Beehive, but before I go, I have to do one more thing. You don't have to follow me. We will gather at the Beehive in a week."
Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng both nodded. The number of star crystals here was too small, and special star crystals were simply impossible to find. The conditions at the beehive were better, so they should go there.
Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie were a little hesitant. They were not strong and were quite satisfied with the comfortable environment here. Going to the Hive would mean new competition, and they were a little worried.
Lin Zhen comforted them, "You don't have to follow me, just stay here. I promise you will always have star crystals to use."
Sun Tie shook his head: "Brother Guang will not agree. He has the final say here."
Ma Mingxing also said: "Yes, Lin Zhen, even if you are the first in the central group now, Brother Guang will not give you this face and support the two of us for nothing, so you can go with peace of mind. The two of us are not rookies now, and we can still be self-reliant."
"Yes, we are not useless anymore. Ma Mingxing is almost at level nine, and I am also at level eight. Even if we don't take first place, taking third place in the group is enough for us to practice."
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen shook his head: "No, he will give you this face, this is what I will do."
Having said that, Lin Zhen didn't let anyone follow him. He told Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng to go to the Beehive to find him in a week, and then left alone.
It had been two years, and this was the first time that Lin Zhen was about to leave the anthill. The sky grew darker the moment Lin Zhen stepped out of the central branch, as if foreshadowing something.
I will update the second chapter today for the author of this book (Chopped Pepper Fish Head and Old Duck Soup).
Four chapters are released for now, and there will be more in the evening.
