After two consecutive successful strikes, Lin Zhen immediately entered a state of mind. Spear after spear, he began to attack the incoming waves.
As the waves crashed down, his spear met them head-on. Every strike was like a waterfall, continuous and unending. This was the Winding River!
Rumbling sounds could be heard incessantly. After thirty consecutive strikes, the river behind Lin Zhen was already close to drying up. The trees on the riverbed were beginning to show, and the shore was already a swamp. That was the accumulation of the splashing waves.
"Swish!"
Lin Zhen withdrew his spear and stood upright. Only then did the locked torrent was released and once again poured into the riverbed. The water level of the river slowly recovered.
Lin Zhen's chest heaved up and down, but his eyes were flashing with an excited radiance.
"I finally succeeded! I finally grasped the profound meaning of the Winding River. The only thing I'm lacking now is practice. I can only attack for thirty times at the moment. I'm still not too familiar with the usage of Dantian Qi and the way my muscles exert force. If I want to truly use it in a real battle, I need to be able to continuously attack for a thousand times. "
"Fortunately, I don't have anything else to do right now. I'll stay here and properly familiarize myself with the Winding River Spear Art. It won't be too late to leave after this ability is formed."
"Every strike is like a waterfall. With this kind of attack strength, even an ordinary War God would not be able to continuously attack for a thousand times. This Winding River's profound meaning is truly mystical."
The training this time had caused Lin Zhen's Dantian Qi to be close to drying up. He was still not too familiar with the usage of force and had wasted too much of his Dantian Qi. The true Winding River was endless and would never stop. Currently, he had only grasped the essentials, but the details were not perfect. He needed time to slowly train.
After returning to his little nest and meditating to recover, Lin Zhen fell asleep for the first time due to exhaustion.

At the lower reaches of the river, Su Mingyue squatted by the riverside and gently combed her long hair while facing the river.
As a girl, especially a girl who had reached a certain degree of beauty, Su Mingyue also cared a lot about her appearance.
She could not stand being dirty from head to toe. After arriving at the Stellar Fruit Tree, she had not bathed for a few days. Su Mingyue could not stand it anymore. Every part of the river here had mutated insects, wanting to take a bath was almost an impossible task. When Su Mingyue sent her companions away from the fruit tree, she wanted to give up and leave.
However, she persevered, and then met Lin Zhen.
In the process of chasing Lin Zhen, Su Mingyue had lost track of Lin Zhen.. but she did not give up... Instead, she continued to slowly to the north.. this was because when she first saw Lin Lin, she discovered that Lin was heading north..
After walking for a while, she discovered this river.
This discovery made Su Mingyue wild with joy. This was because it was rare to see mutated insects in this turbulent river. The rapid flow of the river made it difficult for the insects to gain a foothold. She kept moving forward, and finally found a relatively secluded place. Taking advantage of the night, she took a bath.
However, in the process of taking a bath, something happened that made Su Mingyue very embarrassed. The originally flowing river suddenly stopped for some reason. The sudden stop of the flow of the river caught everyone off guard. The sudden stop of the flow of the river exposed Su Mingyue's beautiful body to the air.
Her beautiful Saintess Peak gently trembled. Her long hair was like a waterfall. Her red lips and starry eyes were protruding in all the right places. Her flawless jade body was very conspicuous in the dark night. Su Mingyue cried out in surprise. She wanted to squat down, but she found that it was useless. She wanted to chase after the flow of the river, but her clothes were still on the shore.
Fortunately, the surroundings were completely silent. There was no one around. Su Mingyue panicked and ran to the shore to put on her clothes. Although no one saw it, the Saintess, who had been disciplined since she was young and believed in the gods, still blushed.
After a full three minutes, the stopped flow of the river resumed. Su Mingyue was also sure that no one saw her. Only then did she relax.
There were many things in her space ring. Other than the things that martial artists needed, there were also many daily necessities. After washing up, the sky was already bright. Su Mingyue faced the river and gently combed her long hair.
Looking at the reflection of the Luo River Goddess in the river, Su Mingyue pondered in her heart why the flow of the river suddenly stopped. Fortunately, it was night. If it was daytime, she would not be able to forgive herself even if she died.
A huge leaf spun in the air and fell down. It was inserted more than ten centimeters into the river and was then washed away by the current.
When the leaf fell, Su Mingyue saw a small depression in the river. That was because the leaf had blocked the flow of the river.
"The leaf … blocked the flow of the river."
Su Mingyue muttered. Then, she suddenly raised her head and her eyes lit up.
"Upstream! There's something or someone upstream. Although I don't know how they did it, it's very likely that person blocked the flow of the river. "
"There aren't many martial artists heading north, and Lin Zhen is heading in this direction. This means that if I follow this river, I'll definitely find that despicable thief."
Su Mingyue stood up. There was a rare trace of joy in her beautiful eyes. "Thief, if you did this again, we'll have to settle the score."
She was wearing a long white dress with a golden ribbon around her waist, outlining her beautiful figure. It was a bit similar to the ancient costumes before the Christian calendar. It was not a retro style she wanted, but a standard long dress for female followers of the Starry Sky Sect.
Of course, as a Saintess, her bearing was also important. Her long dress looked more elegant and graceful.
Su Mingyue lifted the hem of her dress lightly, revealing her white and translucent calves. She floated away and went straight upstream.

Tang Yu and a girl were walking in the forest, approaching Shuxin Lake.
They were looking for Su Mingyue. The girl's name was Yingying, and she was also from the Capital Base City. Like Su Mingyue, she came from the Church of Divine Grace.
Su Mingyue had sent two of her companions to the platform and hadn't returned. They waited for a long time, but to no avail, so they came to look for her.
Before Su Mingyue left, she told Yingying that if she didn't come back, she could go to Shuxin Lake to look for her. She would leave a unique mark of the Church of Divine Grace in the direction she went.
While walking, they suddenly heard voices behind them.
"Haha! Who did we see? Aren't they the newbies? "
Tang Yu and Yingying turned around and saw two advanced warlords standing behind them.
They had seen these two people before. They were the two advanced warlords of the 494th class. When they were fighting for the star crystal, it was taken by someone else. The two of them chased after it. They didn't expect to see them here again.
Tang Yu said coldly, "What do you want?"
The two advanced warlords smiled like a cat playing with a mouse. One of them said, "If you don't have the ability to be a hero, don't force yourself. Where's the beauty in white with you?"
Yingying continued, "What are you looking for Mingyue for?"
"Haha! Nothing much. This forest is lonely. We brothers have been holding back for three years and want to find that beauty to vent our desires. Can't we? "
"Shameless!"
Tang Yu heard these two people insulting his dream girl and was instantly furious. He waved his sleeves and stabbed out with his long sword. At the same time, seven throwing knives rose into the air. He attacked with all his strength!
The two advanced warlords used a knife and a spear as their weapons. They attacked at the same time and fought with Tang Yu.
Yingying also joined the battle. The four people fought for less than three minutes before Yingying was kicked away by one of them.
Facing the two of them working together, Tang Yu was soon unable to resist, which made him incomparably shocked.
The students who were three years older than him were too strong. He was an eighth level warlord and a spirit reader in the middle stage of gold. It was hard to imagine that he wasn't a match for these two people.
He was no match for Tang Yu. Tang Yu was defeated in less than a minute.
Yingying's injuries weren't serious and she stood up. Tang Yu ran over and grabbed her hand, "Let's go!"
Tang Yu stepped on a wide sword and flew with Yingying.
One of the two people behind them was also a spirit reader in the late stage of gold. He also chased after them on a shield.
Tang Yu was almost running for his life. He purposely looked for places that were difficult to pass through. This tactic was effective. After a minute, they finally shook off their pursuers.
However, Tang Yu still didn't dare to stop. He brought Yingying straight to Tree Heart Lake.
The two of them only stopped when they saw the sparkling lake.
"Phew! That was close. If we were a bit slower, those two people might have caught up. "Tang Yu couldn't help but pat his chest.
Yingying was even more touched. She hugged Tang Yu's waist and didn't let go, "Thank you, Tang Yu. You saved me. I want to be with you forever."
Tang Yu didn't push Yingying away. He allowed the girl's young body to stick close to him. He even wrapped his arms around her waist.
After a while, the two separated. Tang Yu said, "Let's go find Mingyue now. Remember, you can't do this in front of Mingyue."
Looking at Tang Yu's charming face, Yingying nodded. She knew that she couldn't be with Tang Yu, but she was willing to be his secret lover.
"Can you find the mark left by Mingyue?" Tang Yu asked.
"Yes, I can. Let me see."
Yingying said as she put on a pair of glasses and looked around.
"I found it. She went north. I saw the dust she scattered. We just need to follow this river north and we should be able to find her."
"Okay, let's go." Tang Yu was in a hurry. Although Yingying was also a young and beautiful girl, she couldn't be compared to Su Mingyue's peerless beauty.
The two left Shuxin Lake and headed north. As soon as they left, the two people from Squad 494 poked their heads out from behind the forest.
"Brother Hua, why didn't you kill them?"
"Lao San, what do you know? These two are just small fries. That beauty in white is the real deal."
"Hehe, and you say you're not a pervert. You're just thinking about beauties all day long."
"You're only half right. That girl is beautiful, but she has another identity. She's the Holy Maiden of the Divine Sect in the capital base city. As a Holy Maiden, she must have a token from the Divine Sect on her. That's the real treasure."
"Oh? What treasure? "Lao San asked.
"Hmph! Treasure from the Ancient God Ruins. Do you think it's worth it? "
"So it's the Ancient God Ruins. The things from that place are all unique!"
"That's why I purposely let these two rookies go. With them leading the way, we'll be able to get both the girl and the treasure!"
"Then why aren't we leaving? Haha, beauty, which treasure should I take from the Ancient God Ruins? What a headache! "
