Before accepting the challenge, Lin Zhen had a headache about how to get a Planet Crystal. If he didn't have one to give to Brother Guang, he wouldn't be able to propose a team battle.
Lin Zhen wanted to go out and borrow one, but warriors viewed Planet Crystals as more important than their lives. He couldn't borrow one.
Su Mingyue saw that Lin Zhen was troubled and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. It's just that we might not be able to keep our third place. Without the Planet Crystal, we can't propose a team battle. We're basically going to lose."
Unexpectedly, Su Mingyue smiled, "It's fine. Go ahead. I've already handed over the Planet Crystal."
"Ah! Where did you get the Planet Crystal? "Lin Zhen asked.
"I borrowed it from someone." Su Mingyue blinked her eyes.
"Who did you borrow it from?" Su Mingyue cultivated in the tree hole all day long. She was like a lady who didn't leave the house at all. This greatly disappointed those who often lingered outside the tree hole. Who could she have borrowed it from?
"Then don't worry about it. I can borrow it anyways. We'll get another one tomorrow and return it. Let's go. It's starting."
Although he still had doubts, Lin Zhen didn't think too much about it. Su Mingyue was Divine Sect's Saintess. If she really wanted to borrow one, it shouldn't be hard.
The challengers were a mixed team. When the challenge started, they proposed a solo battle as expected. However, Lin Zhen proposed a team battle.
Brother Guang agreed to Lin Zhen's request and said that he had received the Planet Crystal. They would proceed according to the team battle.
After an intense battle, Lin Zhen's side won again. However, Su Mingyue didn't seem to be in a good state. After the battle, blood even seeped out of the corner of her mouth.
Seeing Su Mingyue's state, Lin Zhen felt very strange. Logically speaking, with Su Mingyue's strength, she shouldn't be unable to withstand such a battle.
The only way now was to find more Star Crystals for Su Mingyue to absorb, which would be beneficial to her recovery.
With the current situation, they couldn't continue to challenge the second-place team. Lin Zhen found the second-place team and swapped days with them, expressing his wish to swap Sunday and Saturday.
The second group had been fighting in the Ant Nest for an entire day, so they were tired and needed rest. They immediately agreed to Lin Zhen's request.
Lin Zhen once again went deep into the Ant Nest, but this time, his luck wasn't too good. He fought bitterly for an entire morning, and even suffered several injuries. Only then did he obtain one Planet Crystal and four Comet Crystals.
When Lin Zhen returns to the tree hole with the planet crystal, he finds that Su Mingyue is gone. Only Sun Tie and Luo Zhen are there.
Lin Zhen asked, "Where's Su Mingyue?"
Sun Tie looked at Lin Zhen. "Let's go."
"Gone? She's so badly injured. Where did she go? "
"Someone from Sky Dome came. It's a woman. It's said that she's Su Mingyue's senior sister. She took Su Mingyue away."
"Her senior sister?" Lin Zhen was shocked. He remembered that Su Mingyue did mention a few days ago that she had a senior sister who came to the Star Fruit Tree a few years ago and never left. This time, she wanted to look for her.
But Lin Zhen couldn't figure it out. She didn't have to be in such a hurry to leave. Su Mingyue should have at least told him.
Sun Tie continued, "Su Mingyue is injured, and it seems to be quite serious. She doesn't want to leave, but her senior sister insisted on taking her back for treatment. They even quarreled. Her senior sister said that she went to fight because her old injuries weren't fully healed. She said that she didn't want to live anymore and insisted on taking her away."
"Old injuries aren't fully healed?" Lin Zhen was shocked. Where did her old injuries come from? Last time, she was injured in the arena. Didn't he heal her with the planet crystal?
At this time, he suddenly remembered that last time when he gave the planet crystal to Su Mingyue, he didn't see her absorb it. He only heard her say that it was fine.
When he accepted the challenge, Guang Ge said that he received the planet crystal. Then, where did Su Mingyue get the planet crystal?
She said that she borrowed it, but Su Mingyue never contacted others. Who could she borrow it from?
The truth was clear. Su Mingyue didn't absorb the planet crystal. Instead, she gave it to Guang Ge. She wanted Lin Zhen not to be eliminated. That's why her injuries worsened today.
Sun Tie continued, "Su Mingyue didn't want to leave, but her senior sister patted her and she fainted. Then, her senior sister took her away, saying that she went to Sky Dome and would never come back."
At this time, Luo Zhen added, "When Su Mingyue was taken away by her senior sister, she fainted, but she still cried."
Lin Zhen took a deep breath. He didn't ask anything more. Instead, he sat cross-legged in the tree hole. After thinking for a while, he said to Sun Tie and Luo Zhen, "I will give each of you a comet crystal. There are only three of us left. We will give up the next challenge."
Sun Tie asked tentatively, "Lin Zhen, are you okay?"
Lin Zhen shook his head, "I'm fine. We still have to live the same life. In two weeks, it will be a month. We will form a new team and come again. We can't let others laugh at us."
Hearing Lin Zhen's words, Sun Tie and Luo Zhen felt more confident. They took the comet crystals from Lin Zhen and left.
Lin Zhen stayed alone in the tree hole. There was still a faint fragrance of a girl. It was the smell of Su Mingyue.
He didn't expect this girl to be so decisive. She would rather endure her injuries than absorb the planet crystals. What she wanted to do was not to let herself be eliminated.
In his mind, he recalled the scene of Su Mingyue bleeding from the corner of her mouth. Lin Zhen's heart twitched.
"My silly girl …"
"It's okay to lose the third place in the group. We will get it back soon. Why do you have to humiliate yourself like this? You are the high and mighty Saintess! "
Lin Zhen always thought that he and Su Mingyue were friends. However, now it seemed that it wasn't that simple.
There was a saying that a beauty's favor was the hardest to bear. Lin Zhen didn't experience it in his previous life, but this time, he experienced it.
However, it had happened. He didn't dwell on it. For the time being, it was impossible to find Su Mingyue. What he was thinking about was how Su Mingyue was found by her senior sister.
There was no doubt that someone was secretly making a move here.
Lin Zhen didn't ask anyone because it was useless to ask now. In fact, he knew very well who could deal with him.
Walking out of the tree hole, many people around looked at Lin Zhen. They seemed to want to see his embarrassed and flustered appearance. However, Lin Zhen disappointed them.
After finding the third group in the center, Lin Zhen exchanged the planet crystals in his hand for ten comet crystals. He didn't need them anyway. It would be a waste to keep them.
After that, Lin Zhen returned to the tree hole and began a new round of cultivation.
"People from Tianqiong, right? Even if you are the sky, I will lift you up. Mingyue, you must wait for me … "
In the dim tree hole, starlight shone. Lin Zhen began to break through to the fifth grade warlord.
*****
Outside the tree hole, Zhang Sicheng said to Brother Guang, "Brother Guang, you are really capable. You actually managed to get the people from Tianqiong to come forward and take that chick away. This kid must have no heart to cultivate and is done for."
"It should be. His girlfriend has been taken away. Very few young people can withstand this kind of blow. It will be good enough if he doesn't go crazy while cultivating. Maybe he will immediately go to Tianqiong to ask for her."
"Hehe, then he is really courting death. I will stay here and watch how he dies."
"Well, I have already helped you with what I promised you. Don't look for me again in the future." Brother Guang ruthlessly turned hostile and immediately drove Zhang Sicheng out.
Zhang Sicheng didn't leave either. Instead, he attached himself to the third team on the central branch. His old friends were here. Although one of his hands wasn't very nimble, he still stayed behind to do some chores in a servile manner.
Many people, including him, wanted to see Lin Zhen make a fool of himself. Lin Zhen just cultivated by the pool and didn't communicate with anyone, which disappointed him a little.
Not only did Lin Zhen not have any problems with his cultivation, but he had also successfully advanced to the early stage of a fifth-grade warlord.
After advancing, he had no intention of going to Tianqiong to ask for her. Occasionally, when Zhang Sicheng passed by, he would deliberately say some strange things about how he couldn't keep his girlfriend. Lin Zhen never responded. He felt that it was meaningless to say more. If he said more, he would betray Brother Guang. He didn't dare, so he gradually stopped talking.
Another week passed and the challengers arrived. However, Lin Zhen directly said that he would give up the third position.
There were only three people left in the group, so it was impossible for them to win. Lin Zhen's abandonment was expected.
Just like that, half a month passed. Lin Zhen remained motionless by the pool, as if he was made of stone. Only occasionally at night would people catch a glimpse of him and see a flash of light in his eyes, proving that he was still alive.
Some telekinesis masters would suddenly feel that Lin Zhen's mind power seemed to be increasing.
After an entire month, Lin Zhen's team could be reorganized.
Early in the morning, Jiang Huai appeared by the pool. Lin Zhen stood up for the first time.
"Oh! You've improved a lot in the past month! "Jiang Huai looked at Lin Zhen in surprise.
"You've improved a lot too." Lin Zhen smiled.
"Where's your Beauty Su? Come out and let me take a look. I've been looking at bugs for the past month. "Jiang Huai smiled and joked with Lin Zhen.
"She left."
Jiang Huai was silent. It seemed that there was a story behind this. He wisely didn't ask further.
"She's not here. If we team up, we might not necessarily win." Jiang Huai got to the point.
Lin Zhen was also a little distressed. He had improved a lot in the past month. Not only had he entered the early stage of a fifth-grade warlord, but his mind power had also reached the late stage of the gold level. However, the others were also improving. He didn't have the opportunity to obtain star crystals, so he wasn't confident in winning the challenge.
At this moment, someone walked over from behind and said hesitantly, "Can I team up with you?"
Lin Zhen and Jiang Huai turned around and saw that a newcomer had arrived.
This person was travel-worn and his clothes were tattered, but his eyes were shining. He looked extremely valiant and confident.
It was actually Lin Zhen's old acquaintance, Lou Qingfeng, who had advanced from a seventh-grade warlord to an eighth-grade warlord.
