After listening to Zhang Sicheng’s introduction, Lin Zhen finally had a basic understanding of the situation here.

Lin Zhen knew about the Dantian Air Compression, but in his previous life, he didn’t have the opportunity. Only elite and genius Martial Artists could compress their Dantian air, and he didn’t qualify.

In the three major areas of the Star Fruit Tree, Sky Dome was the strongest, while the Beehive was second, and the Ant Nest here was the weakest.

Lin Zhen wanted to go to Sky Dome to save Su Mingyue, but he couldn’t do it for the time being. He still needed time to cultivate and settle down.

Without asking Zhang Sicheng more questions, Lin Zhen let him go.

However, not long after Lin Zhen returned, he saw Brother Guang go out, and Lin Zhen knew that Zhang Sicheng might be finished.

After a while, Brother Guang came back, glanced at Lin Zhen, and did not initiate any conversation. Lin Zhen didn’t speak either, and the two acted like strangers.

occupying tne tmrcl position In tne central group, tne narvestmg day came tne next day. This time, Lin Zhen, Jiang Huai, and Lou Qingfeng went to the Ant Nest together, and the harvest was huge. More than twenty Comet Crystals were obtained, along with five or six Satellite Crystals and three Planet Crystals.

After giving some to Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie, all the remaining Comet Crystals were absorbed by Lin Zhen, and his strength increased considerably once again.

Meanwhile, Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng were also progressing. Jiang Huai was a Level Nine Martial General, but he hadn’t reached the Peak yet, so he couldn’t condense his Dantian air nor could he absorb Constant Star Crystals.

In the days that followed, everything gradually calmed down.

People wouldn’t mention Su Mingyue in front of Lin Zhen, and he seemed to have forgotten about her, focusing wholeheartedly on his cultivation.

A week later, someone challenged Lin Zhen’s team and failed.

Three weeks later, Lin Zhen advanced to the mid-stage of the Fifth-level War General and challenged the group ranked second in the Central Branch but failed again.

Three months later, Lin Zhen advanced to the Sixth-level War General and successfully challenged the second -ranked group. Now they could gather Star Crystals twice a week.

Generally speaking, it was already quite ample for Martial Artists to have one day’s time to gather Star Crystals because absorbing Star Crystals was like eating. You couldn’t consume too much at once and needed digestion time.

However, this was not a problem for Lin Zhen at all. His Dantian had a Dark Star hidden inside, which could absorb and hold more Dantian air and even store it within the Dark Star. As a result, his absorption of Star Crystals was nearly boundless.

Among the group, Lin Zhen’s realm was the lowest, but his progress was the fastest, surpassing Sun Tie in just three months.contemporary romance

Another team ranked third tried challenging Lin Zhen’s team, but they all failed without exception. Not only was Lin Zhen progressing, but Jiang Huai also reached the Peak of Level Nine, and Lou Qingfeng advanced to the Level Eight Peak.

By the time six months had passed, Lin Zhen successfully broke through the boundary of the Sixth-level War General and advanced to the Seventh-level War General, equaling Ma Mingxing in terms of realm.

After advancing, Lin Zhen chose to challenge the team ranked first, but without success.

After failing, Lin Zhen didn’t show any signs of disappointment. On the days leading up to Friday and Saturday, he was fighting relentlessly in the Ant Nest. The Central Branch was really an excellent place, yielding many Star Crystals. Although Constant Star Crystals were still rare, Lin Zhen only needed Satellite Crystals at the moment, which were sufficient.

Occasionally, the team could obtain a Constant Star Crystal, and it would be given to Jiang Huai to absorb, hoping to let him compress his Dantian air sooner.

A year later, Lin Zhen was almost nineteen years old, and he finally advanced to a Level Eight War General on New Year’s Day.

At this time, Ma Mingxing also reached Level Eight, Sun Tie just advanced to Level Seven, and Jiang Huai, who monopolized all the Constant Star Crystals in the team, finally achieved a layer of compression of his Dantian air.

Lou Qingfeng also advanced to Level Nine at this time, and they all began to require Planet Crystals.

This time, Lin Zhen challenged the first-ranked team again. This time, he performed incredibly well, showcasing all his skills during the battle, including his Spiritual Power strike that knocked down the opponent’s first martial artist, causing people to become afraid of him.

In the team, Lin Zhen, Jiang Huai, and Lou Qingfeng were all Spiritual Mind Masters, but Lin Zhen had the highest realm, surprisingly reaching the Gold Peak in just one year!

By occupying the first position in the central branch ranking, Lin Zhen’s team became the strongest in the Ant Nest, being able to gather Star Crystals four days per week. At this time, Lin Zhen’s Dark Star Power began to stand out. He could absorb Star Crystals almost every day, and his realm improvement speed began to surpass others significantly.

After a year and a half, Lin Zhen advanced to a Level Nine War General, almost on par with Lou Qingfeng.

As the two-year mark approached, Lin Zhen reached the Peak of Level Nine War General, on the edge of compressing his Dantian air, and was equal with Lou Qingfeng.

At this time, Jiang Huai compressed his Dantian air twice, Ma Mingxing reached the Level Eight Peak, and Sun Tie was at Level Eight.

During this period, they would often see golden light flashing in Lin Zhen’s eyes, causing people’s souls to tremble uncontrollably whenever they looked at him, unable to stare directly.

By now, even in the central area of the Ant Nest, there weren’t many Constant Star Crystals left to gather. The progress of several of them inevitably slowed down, but compared to other teams, they were still faster. Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng were quite satisfied with their achievements.

They did not demand more after making such progress within two years.

In these two years, two new batches of students have entered the Star Fruit Tree, starting to explore this mysterious world.

For them, Lin Zhen and the others were powerful and mysterious seniors. To be able to occupy the first place in the central branches, what strength they must have.

On this day, it was time for a challenge.

Sun Tie stretched his waist lazily: “Ah! Life is so boring; nobody even comes to challenge us. With you three here, Ma Mingxing and I have become idle.”

Lin Zhen opened his eyes after absorbing a Planet Crystal: “You guys should practice more every day. You were all ahead of me in the beginning, but now I’ve left you behind. Why don’t you put in more effort when you’re bored?”

Lou Qingfeng glanced at Lin Zhen, shuddering: “Lin Zhen, are you cultivating some evil technique? Why do I feel like I want to pee whenever I look at you?” Lin Zhen laughed helplessly: “Feeling like peeing?”

“Lou Qingfeng is right. Even though I’ve compressed my Dantian qi by two times, I still don’t dare to look into your eyes. They can be quite frightening sometimes.” Jiang Huai agreed with Lou Qingfeng.

Ma Mingxing exaggerated: “Lin Zhen, all you do nowadays is practice, practice, practice. You don’t even know how famous you are now. Those new students go out of their way to avoid you, and they call you the ‘Demonic King’ behind your back. Can’t you just be a little more humanlike? Practicing all the time is so boring, such a waste of your handsome face.”

Lin Zhen replied: “That’s because you guys don’t work hard enough.”

Ma Mingxing immediately followed up, “We can’t compare to you. You’re a madman when it comes to training, your speed is terrifying. You’re not even 20 years old yet, but you’re already a Level 9 War General at the peak. You’re probably about ready to advance to War God, but you still can’t do it since you need to compress your Dantian qi. So your days in the Star Fruit Tree will still be long, and you should be more bored than us.”

“As if you guys are much older than me,” Lin Zhen laughed.

“Not much older, but I’m already 22, Sun Tie is also 22, Jiang Huai is 21, but not too far apart from me, we’re both older than you by more than two years. As for Lou Qingfeng, he’s already 25, you’re still the youngest.”

“You guys are already in your twenties and can’t calm down. In the long years to come, won’t you be bored to death?”

Ma Mingxing yawned: “We can’t look at it that way. This place is the Star Fruit Tree. We felt it was when we first arrived, but after a while, all we see are leaves and branches, insects and more insects. It’s not easy to have new students coming in, and there’re very few girls.”

Sun Tie chimed in: “Isn’t there a couple of girls in this new batch who came to the Ant Nest? There were also two in the previous one.”

“Haha! Su Saintess is a unique beauty in this world. If you’re looking for someone like her, then you might be bored to death…”

“You two have talked enough. Shut up!” Jiang Huai scolded them from the side, and Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie immediately realized their mistake. Looking at Lin Zhen, he closed his eyes for a moment, then slowly opened them again.

“I’m getting bored too. Time to find something to do.” Lin Zhen clapped his hands and stood up.

“What are you going to do?” everyone asked Lin Zhen.

“I’m leaving the Ant Nest. Are you coming with me?” Lin Zhen asked.

“Leave? Why would we leave? Isn’t it great here?” Ma Mingxing asked.

Hearing Lin Zhen’s words, Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng’s eyes lit up: “Leaving is a good idea. We indeed need a new environment. Wherever you go, we’ll follow you, Lin Zhen.”

Lin Zhen thought for a moment: “I’m going to the Beehive, but before that, I have one more thing to do. You don’t need to follow me. In a week, we’ll meet at the Beehive.”

Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng both nodded. There were too few Constant Star Crystals here, and Special stargems were nowhere to be found. The conditions at the Beehive were better, so they should go there.

Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie, however, hesitated. They weren’t very strong and were quite satisfied with the comfortable environment here. Going to the Beehive meant new competition, and they were worried.

Lin Zhen comforted them, “You don’t have to come. Just stay here, and I

guarantee you’ll have plenty of Star Crystals to use.”

Sun Tie shook his head: “Brother Guang won’t agree. This is his territory after all.

Ma Mingxing also chimed in: “That’s right, Lin Zhen. Even if you are now the first in the central team, Brother Guang won’t keep us here for free just for you. So don’t worry about us; both Sun Tie and I aren’t rookies anymore, we can fend for ourselves.”

“That’s right. We’re not useless anymore. Ma Mingxing is almost Level 9, and I’m already Level 8. Even if we’re not in the first place, being the third of a small group is enough for us to practice.”

Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen shook his head: “No, he will give you face. This is what

I’m going to do.”

With that, Lin Zhen didn’t let anyone follow him. He told Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng to meet him at the Beehive in a week, and then he left alone.

After two years, Lin Zhen was going to leave the Ant Nest for the first time. The sky darkened the moment Lin Zhen stepped out of the central branch, as if foreshadowing something..
