As soon as Dong Shencai's ice blades appeared, Lin Zhen knew that he couldn't win this battle.
Lin Zhen simply gave up on defending and concentrated all his strength on the bright silver spear. At the same time, the five spears flew into the air and intercepted the opponent's ice blades. He rushed towards Dong Shencai with all his strength!
The spear turned bright gold, and its sharpness caused the space to tremble slightly. Lin Zhen's body was covered with a layer of frost, but he rushed forward without hesitation!
Dong Shencai was like an ice cellar. Cold air constantly spewed out from her every movement. The two swords in her hands didn't stop, and she attacked Lin Zhen fiercely!
Attack against attack!
After a violent shock, the cold air disappeared, and Lin Zhen's body flew out of the ring. His whole body was white, and there were several wounds on his chest.
Landing on the ground meant defeat.
However, Lin Zhen didn't fall down. He moved his arms and removed the layer of frost on his body. Then, he faced Dong Shencai and said, "Thank you for your advice. We will fight again."
After speaking, Lin Zhen walked back to his team.
In the ring, Dong Shencai's face was also green. Finally, under everyone's gaze, one of her arms began to bleed. It was a wound caused by Lin Zhen's spear. The wound was so deep that the bone could be seen.
White cold air gushed out, and the wound immediately stopped bleeding. Dong Shencai slowly walked down the ring.
At this time, Captain Wang walked over and said, "Miss Dong, you are really amazing. You defeated Lin Zhen in three minutes."
"Get lost!" Dong Shencai coldly spat out a word. Captain Wang was suddenly speechless.
The battle ended, and the crowd was in an uproar.
"Sure enough, I was right. Lin Zhen lost."
"Everyone knows that he can't win. Do you still need to say that?"
"However, I don't think Lin Zhen has lost. That woman's Dantian Qi has been compressed to the sixth stage, and she has also absorbed a special astral crystal. For Lin Zhen to be able to fight to this extent is already very impressive. He is only at the first stage of compression. If Lin Zhen can reach the fourth stage of compression, I definitely think Lin Zhen will win."
"I think so too, but Lin Zhen probably won't have a chance. In the future, the third group will be in front of him, and he won't be able to obtain Star Crystals. How will he improve?"
"Boss Zhou's move is too ruthless. He directly cut off his opponent's escape route."
Lin Zhen returned to the group and sat down. He took out some medicine and consumed it. Fortunately, he had robbed Brother Guang's spatial ring. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to treat his injuries.
Zhao Xiaoman asked with concern, "Brother Lin, how are you?"
"Fortunately, it's not a big deal. It's all superficial wounds. I'll be fine after resting for ten days or half a month."
Jiang Huai walked over and gave Lin Zhen a thumbs up, "I'm impressed. Boss Lin is indeed my idol. I might not even last a minute if I went up."
Li Changying continued, "Half a minute is enough. This woman is even stronger than Hua Cangtian."
Lin Zhen took a deep breath, "Who's next? Go! "
Jiang Huai tidied his clothes and got up to the stage.
The second person to go up was Li Xuanqiong. Under Lin Zhen's encouragement, Jiang Huai was not afraid of Li Xuanqiong. Although the two of them were suppressed by Li Xuanqiong, they still lasted for two minutes before being defeated. Moreover, they only suffered light injuries.
After that, Li Changying went up and faced Hua Cangtian again. This time, Li Changying's performance was much better than before. With some preparation, Hua Cangtian was not able to defeat Li Changying in three moves. They fought for two minutes.
Now the score was three to zero. Lin Zhen's team had lost the challenge. Tong Huan was about to announce the result but Lin Zhen's team insisted on fighting. Lou Qingfeng went up to the stage.
Facing Zhang Sihai, Lou Qingfeng fully utilized his advantage as a spirit reader. The two of them fought for one and a half minutes before Lou Qingfeng was defeated because of the difference in strength.
Zhao Xiaoman also went up to the stage. Her opponent was the original team leader. This battle was not that different. Zhao Xiaoman fought with Team Leader Wang for a full five minutes before losing due to a mistake.
After going down the stage, Zhao Xiaoman pouted, "Next time, I will cultivate properly. I will definitely defeat him in half a year."
At this point, Lin Zhen's team's challenge ended in failure. However, the four Gods of Tianqiong's team were not very happy. Especially when the number one expert, Dong Shencai, was injured in the battle with Lin Zhen. This cast a shadow over their victory.
Zhang Sihai said to Dong Shencai who had an ugly expression, "Shencai, you don't have to be too depressed. Lin Zhen is their number one expert after all. Moreover, he only lasted for three minutes against you. He is far from being your opponent."
Dong Shencai said coldly, "It's true that Lin Zhen is no match for me now, but if he's given time to grow, I think he'll surpass me in a year."
"This is easy. What are we here for? Isn't it to keep Lin Zhen's team in check? We don't even need a year. Half a year later, Ye Lanshan will have no choice but to leave the Stellar Fruit Tree. At that time, our mission will be completed. Without Ye Lanshan's restraint, not only will the Great Conqueror be able to win the beauty back, he will also be able to personally take action. At that time, Lin Zhen will definitely die. "
Hua Cangtian added, "Indeed. Although their team has good potential, they have yet to mature. As long as we firmly hold the third position, they will not be able to take a step forward. They will also not be able to obtain a star crystal. After half a year, even if they don't disband, they will become ordinary people."
Dong Shencai nodded, "Alright, we will stay here for half a year. At that time, we will have completed the Great Conqueror's mission. However, at that time, there will be no need for the Great Conqueror to take action. I will personally take care of Lin Zhen."
After Lin Zhen's team was defeated, they did not appear in the hive for many days. Everyone was recuperating in the tree hollow. After an entire week, the fifth ranked team seemed to have seen an opportunity. They brazenly challenged Lin Zhen's fourth team and chose a team battle.
This time, Lin Zhen led his team to appear. Although their injuries were not completely healed, the battle took less than a minute and they swept all the challengers off the stage.
At this time, those people who were speaking sarcastically all shut their mouths.
Lin Zhen's team was indeed unable to defeat the four Celestial Gods. However, it was still effortless for them to take care of the lower ranked teams. If anyone thought that they were pushovers, they would be gravely mistaken.
In fact, during this week, Lin Zhen had not been idle. Every day, he would recuperate during the day. At night, he would still go out to collect star crystals.
However, it was useless to go out during the day. With the four Celestial Gods blocking the third team, Lin Zhen's team would not be able to obtain any star crystals. His teammates no longer had a source of star crystals. This made it impossible for Lin Zhen to get preferential treatment by himself. Instead, he began to distribute star crystals to his teammates.
However, Lin Zhen did not directly give them Stellar Crystals. Instead, he had Brother Guang in the Ant Nest send over some planet crystals every day and mixed them with a few Stellar Crystals.
This greatly surprised Jiang Huai and the others. They did not know how Lin Zhen could make Brother Guang so obedient. However, with star crystals to absorb, they could not care less.
However, the days of the martial artists in the hive were not so good. Every morning, when they went to the hive, they would discover that there were only one or two Stellar Crystals. This made them feel very strange. They even thought that something had happened inside the hive.
Because no one could go pick them at night, no one thought about it.
After more than a month, Lin Zhen's dantian Qi compression finally reached the fourth layer.
Besides him, Jiang Huai and Li Changying were also about to reach the third layer. Lou Qingfeng had also completed the first layer, and Zhao Xiaoman was about to enter the second layer.
Lin Zhen once again challenged the four Celestial Gods, which attracted a large number of people to watch.
Both sides had a tacit understanding and did not even change the order of appearance. The result was the same. Lin Zhen's team was defeated, and the time they lasted did not change. The only difference was that Lin Zhen's team was not injured this time.
After this failure, Lin Zhen seemed to be very depressed. He left with his team members dejectedly. It was obvious that he had lost his confidence.
The crowd was somewhat bored and left. It seemed that Lin Zhen's team had not improved in the past month. There was no point in watching anymore.
When they returned to the tree hole, Zhao Xiaoman was somewhat puzzled and asked, "Big Brother Lin, you allowed us to challenge again this time, but we are not allowed to go all out. The only requirement is that we do not get injured. What's the point of doing this?"
Lin Zhen smiled. "This way, people will think that we should give up completely, and no one will pay attention to you. You should know that in a few days, all of you will have a breakthrough. If you don't keep a low profile, you will definitely be discovered by people with ill intentions."
"Then what should we do next?" Lou Qingfeng asked.
"Stay here. Don't go out and don't see anyone. Just cultivate honestly. Let people think that you are waiting for the four Celestial Gods to leave and for me to return."
"Big Brother Lin, you are leaving? Where are you going? " Zhao Xiaoman asked in surprise. Although she could no longer go to the Hive, she still had Brother Guang to send her star crystals every day. She felt that these days were quite good. Her cultivation speed was not slow at all. In another year or so, she might be able to defeat the four Celestial Gods.
Lin Zhen thought for a moment. "I'm going out for a walk. I might be back in a few days. You don't have to worry."
The team members did not say anything else. Lin Zhen was a competent team leader. They did not want to interfere with Lin Zhen's actions.
Lin Zhen did not want to leave on the spur of the moment. There were two reasons why he wanted to leave.
First, as he said, he would attract attention if he continued to stay in the Beehive. This way, if he left, no one would pay attention to how his teammates were doing. At most, he would quietly come back at night to pick up the star crystals. It would not affect his progress in cultivation.
Second, Lin Zhen could not afford to waste time with the four Celestial Gods. Although Lin Zhen was confident that he could defeat the four Celestial Gods in half a year, could he wait for half a year?
If he really waited for half a year, Su Mingyue would definitely be in trouble. Lin Zhen's life would also be in danger. Even if he defeated the four Celestial Gods, he would not be able to defeat the Little Overlord Yue Feng.
Therefore, he had to leave. Moreover, he already had a goal.
