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 hadn't had the opportunity to do so in his previous life. Martial artists who could compress Dantian Qi were all elites and geniuses. He wasn't qualified yet.
There were three areas in the Stellar Fruit Tree. The Sky Dome was the strongest, followed by the Beehive, and the Ant Nest.
Lin Zhen wanted to go to the Sky Dome to save Su Mingyue, but he couldn't do that for the time being. He still needed time to cultivate and consolidate.
Lin Zhen didn't ask Zhang Sicheng any more questions, so he let him go.
However, not long after Lin Zhen returned, he saw Brother Guang go out. Lin Zhen knew that Zhang Sicheng was done for.
After a while, Brother Guang came back. He looked at Lin Zhen but didn't take the initiative to speak. Lin Zhen didn't speak to him either. The two of them were like strangers.
The next day was the day of harvesting. This time, Lin Zhen, Jiang Huai, and Lou Qingfeng went to the Ant Nest together. Sure enough, they had a huge harvest. They had obtained more than 20 Comet Crystals, five or six Satellite Crystals, and three Planet Crystals.
Some were given to Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie, while the remaining Comet Crystals were absorbed by Lin Zhen. His strength had increased a lot again.
Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng were still improving. Jiang Huai was a level-nine warlord, but he hadn't reached the peak yet. He couldn't compress Dantian Qi for the time being, so it wasn't suitable for him to absorb Stellar Crystals.
In the following days, everything gradually calmed down.
People wouldn't mention Su Mingyue in front of Lin Zhen. Lin Zhen seemed to have forgotten about 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 intermediate level-five warlord stage and challenged the second-ranked team on the central branch. He also failed.
Three months later, Lin Zhen was promoted to a sixth-grade warlord and successfully challenged the second-ranked group. Now, he had two days of harvesting time every week.
Generally speaking, a cultivator would only have one day to harvest star crystals. This was because absorbing star crystals was similar to eating a meal. You couldn't eat too much at a time as you needed time to digest them.
However, this wasn't a problem for Lin Zhen. He had the dark star in his dantian, which could absorb and store more dantian qi. He could even store it inside the dark star. Therefore, he could absorb the star crystals without any regard for his life.
Although Lin Zhen's cultivation was the lowest among them, his rate of improvement was also the fastest. He surpassed Sun Tie within three months.
Another group ranked third challenged Lin Zhen's group, but all of them failed. Not only was Lin Zhen improving, but Jiang Huai had also reached the pinnacle of Level 9, and Lou Qingfeng had also reached the pinnacle of Level 8.
After six months, Lin Zhen successfully broke through the limit of a sixth-grade warlord and advanced to a seventh-grade warlord. His cultivation level was now the same as Ma Mingxing's.
After his advancement, Lin Zhen chose to challenge the first-ranked team, but he failed.
Lin Zhen didn't show any signs of depression after his failure. During the two days before Friday and Saturday, Lin Zhen was almost always fighting in the Ant Nest. The central branch was indeed blessed by nature and had a lot of star crystals. However, Stellar Crystals were still very rare. Lin Zhen only needed Satellite Crystals, which were enough for him.
Occasionally, the team would obtain a Stellar Crystal and give it to Jiang Huai to absorb so that he could compress his dantian qi as soon as possible.
A year later, Lin Zhen was almost 19 years old when he finally advanced to a level-eight warlord on New Year's Day.
At this time, Ma Mingxing had also reached the eighth level, and Sun Tie had just advanced to the seventh level. Jiang Huai took all the Stellar Crystals in the team and finally completed the compression of his dantian qi.
At this time, Lou Qingfeng had also advanced to the ninth level, and they all started to need Planet Crystals.
This time, Lin Zhen challenged the first-ranked team again. This time, Lin Zhen displayed great courage and used all his means in the battle. Among them, he used his mental power to knock down the opponent's top expert. This made people fear Lin Zhen.
In the team, Lin Zhen, Jiang Huai, and Lou Qingfeng were all telekinesis masters. However, Lin Zhen's cultivation level was already the highest. He had actually reached the peak of the gold level in a year!
Lin Zhen's team occupied the first position on the central branch and was the strongest team in the Ant Nest. They could harvest star crystals four days a week. At this time, Lin Zhen's Dark Star power began to manifest. He could absorb star crystals almost every day, and the speed of his cultivation level began to surpass the others.
After a year and a half, Lin Zhen had advanced to the ninth level, which was about the same as Lou Qingfeng's.
When two years were almost up, Lin Zhen had reached the peak of the ninth level and was on the verge of compressing his dantian qi, which was about the same as Lou Qingfeng's.
At this time, Jiang Huai had also compressed his dantian qi by two times. Ma Mingxing was at the peak of the eighth level, and Sun Tie was at the eighth level.
During this time, they often saw the golden glow in Lin Zhen's eyes. One look at it would make one's soul tremble uncontrollably. No one dared to look at it directly.
At this time, even in the central region of the Ant Nest, there weren't many Stellar Crystals left to harvest. Their progress slowed down at the same time, but it was still faster than the other teams. Jiang Huai, Lou Qingfeng, and the others were still quite satisfied.
They didn't ask for much, given that they had made such progress in two years.
During these two years, two new groups of students entered the Stellar Fruit Tree and began to explore this mysterious world.
Lin Zhen and the others were powerful and mysterious seniors to them. How powerful were they to occupy the first position on the central branch?
Today, it was the day of the challenge again.
Sun Tie stretched lazily. "Sigh! These days are really boring. No one has come to challenge us. With the three of you around, Ma Mingxing and I have become idlers. "
Lin Zhen opened his eyes after absorbing a Planetary Crystal. "You should cultivate more every day. Back then, you were ahead of me in terms of cultivation level. Now, I have left you behind. Why don't you work harder when you have the time to do so?"
Lou Qingfeng glanced at Lin Zhen and shuddered. "Lin Zhen, tell me. Are you cultivating some evil technique? Why do I feel like peeing when I look at you? "
Lin Zhen laughed involuntarily. "The feeling of peeing?"
"Lou Qingfeng is right. Although I have compressed my Dantian Qi by two times, I still don't dare to look into your eyes. Your eyes are too scary sometimes." Jiang Huai agreed with Lou Qingfeng's opinion.
Ma Mingxing was even more exaggerated. "Lin Zhen, you have been cultivating all day. You don't know how famous you are now. Those new students all take a detour when they see you. They call you the Great Demon King behind your back. Can't you be a little more human? Cultivating all day is so boring. It's a waste of your handsome face."
Lin Zhen said, "That's because you guys don't work hard enough."
Ma Mingxing immediately said, "We can't compare with you. You're a madman, and your cultivation speed is frighteningly fast. You're not even 20 years old yet, but you're already a peak level 9 warlord. I guess you'll be able to become a warlord soon, but you can't do that yet. You still have to compress the Dantian Qi, so you still have a long way to go in the stellar fruit tree.
You guys are more bored than me. "" You make it sound like you are much older than me. "Lin Zhen laughed.
"I'm not that much older. I'm 22 years old this year, and so is Sun Tie. Although Boss Jianghuai is 21, he's only a few days older than me. He's two years older than you. Lou Qingfeng is already 25, and you're the youngest."
"You guys are only in your twenties and you can't stay here anymore. Won't you be bored to death in the long years to come?"
Ma Mingxing yawned. "You can't say that. This is the Stellar Fruit Tree. When I first came here, I felt fresh. However, after a long time, there are only leaves, branches, and insects. It is not easy to wait for a batch of new students, but there are very few girls."
Sun Tie said, "Didn't two girls come to the Ant Nest this year? There were two in the previous year as well."
"Don't mention those dinosaurs. If someone can be half as beautiful as Saintess Su, I won't be so bored."
"Haha! Saintess Su is the one and only beauty in the world. If you follow her standards, you will be bored to death … "
"You two have said enough. Shut up!" Jiang Huai scolded them. Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie immediately realized that they had said something wrong.
They looked at Lin Zhen again. As expected, Lin Zhen closed his eyes and slowly opened them.
"I am also bored. I need to find something to do." Lin Zhen clapped his hands and stood up.
"Where are you going?" The few of them asked Lin Zhen.
"I am leaving the Ant Nest. Are you guys coming?" Lin Zhen asked.
"Leaving? Why? Isn't this place good? "Ma Mingxing asked.
Hearing Lin Zhen's words, Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng's eyes lit up. "It is good to leave. We really need a new environment. Lin Zhen, where are you going? We will go with you."
Lin Zhen thought for a moment. "I am going to the Ant Nest. However, before I go, I have something to do. You don't have to follow me. After a week, we will gather at the Ant Nest."
Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng nodded. There were too few Stellar Crystals here, and they couldn't find any special Stellar Crystals. The conditions at the Ant Nest were better. They should go there.
Ma Mingxing and Sun Tie were a little hesitant. They weren't strong and were quite satisfied with the comfortable environment here. Going to the Ant Nest meant new competition. They were a little worried.
Lin Zhen comforted them. "You don't have to follow me. Just stay here. I promise you will have plenty of Stellar Crystals to use."
Sun Tie shook his head. "Brother Guang won't agree. He has the final say here."
Mingxing Ma also said, "That's right, Lin Zhen. Even if you're the number one in the central group, Guang Ge won't give you face and support us for nothing. So, don't worry and leave. We're no longer rookies. We can still rely on ourselves."
"Yes, we are no longer useless. Ma Mingxing is almost at Level 9, and I am at Level 8. Even if we are not the first, being third in the group is enough for us to cultivate."
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhen shook his head. "No, he will give you face. This is what I want to do."
After saying that, Lin Zhen didn't let anyone follow him. He told Jiang Huai and Lou Qingfeng to find him at the Ant Nest after a week. Then, he left alone.
