After Hansen received the money, Lin Zhen immediately added 50 billion to buy the set of Seven Star Knives.
He stayed at the Five Dalian Pools for three months, and the price of astral tools fell further. Now, high-grade astral tools that were worth 10 billion were definitely the best of the best.
For example, the price of ordinary weapons was around 2 to 3 billion, and the price of armor was around 5 to 6 billion. Only the price of support equipment was still high.
After obtaining the Seven Star Knives, the reward for the first drop of blood ended. Lin Zhen only had 2 billion left, and he still had a debt of 40 billion.
After about an hour, the Seven Star Knives were delivered to Lin Zhen.
Holding the set of knives in his hands, Lin Zhen's joy was indescribable.
The seven knives were about one foot long, and they were more like large daggers. Every knife looked exactly the same, and the material, color, weight, and quality were all the same.
White Meteorite Iron was extremely rare even in the Interstellar Space, and they were all made from the same piece of Meteorite Iron.
"If I can infuse energy into this set of flying knives one day, I wonder what quality it will be?"
Lin Zhen picked up one of the knives. Right now, he could infuse three of them: Lightning, Radiance, and Metal Qi.
Looking at the time, there were still 20 hours before the start of the War God Arena. Lin Zhen didn't go anywhere else, and he stayed at home to start this work.
The first thing he infused was the Metal Qi flying knife.
Metal was the first of the five elements, and the flying knife infused with Metal Qi would definitely be the sharpest and the most lethal. Lin Zhen wanted to complete it first.
The Dark Star circulated in his body, and threads of sharp Metal Qi flowed out from Lin Zhen's body and entered the White Meteorite Iron.
As time went by, the throwing knife gradually changed color.
It started to change from white to gold, and there was a hint of green in the gold, giving people a feeling of incomparable sharpness.

The highly anticipated War God Arena had finally begun!
The continuous publicity around the world had pushed the War God Arena to a new peak. This wasn't just a single elimination tournament, but an important competition that concerned the fate of a country.
The rules had already been set. If a warlord were to become the champion in the arena, then the country that person was from would be ranked first in the Warlord Alliance!
The country that won first place would be ranked second, and then the other two players in the top four would fight for third and fourth place.
After that, the other four contestants in the top eight would compete for fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth to determine the order of the country's memorial tablets.
If the champion and runner-up were all from the same country, then the country that was originally in third place would be in second place, and so on.
Before the War God Arena started, the news of Lin Zhen's return caused another wave of commotion.
This news was officially confirmed. Some people even confirmed that Yue Zhenhua and He Liu were dead, but it was not clear who killed them.
Normally, they should have died in the hands of Lin Zhen, but when Lin Zhen came out, no one witnessed him killing Yue Zhenhua and He Liu. At that time, there was basically no one in Wudalian Pool.
Even if there were a few people left, they were all cultivating in some secluded corner. No one knew the truth of the matter. Lin Zhen himself also did not announce that he had killed Yue Zhenhua and He Liu.
People had a lot of guesses, but not many people believed that Lin Zhen had killed Yue Zhenhua. After all, Yue Zhenhua was a Star Realm expert. How could he be killed so easily?
Many people thought that perhaps Lin Zhen had the help of an expert behind him.
The focus now was no longer on Lin Zhen. Every country had given their own contestants very generous rewards.
The rewards for entering the 512th place were different. The rewards for entering the 256th place were different. The rewards for entering the top eight, the top four, the runner-up, and the champion were different.
Take Huaxia for example. Other than the rewards from the Warlord Alliance, the rewards from their own country were not inferior to the Warlord Alliance's. Especially the champion. Not only would they receive a lot of material rewards, but they could even make a request to the country. As long as the request was not too outrageous, the country would agree.
Many of the Warlords participating in the Warlord Arena were excited by the huge rewards. They all published comments on newspapers, television, and the Internet, saying how they would display their strength and asking people to look forward to their performance.
For example, Russia's Kolov even said that he would definitely become the champion of the single-elimination tournament.
First, I want to conquer two women. One is Huaxia's Divine Sect's Saintess Su Mingyue, and the other is the European Union's mysterious Warlord Crazy. I have my eyes on these two women. They will be my women in the future. The first step is to let them see my strength on the arena.
"I also have a small wish. I hope that I can meet Lin Zhen on the arena. This despicable yellow man. I will tear you to pieces on the arena. Just you wait!"
Holov even raised his middle finger at the camera, expressing his disdain for Lin Zhen.
Aside from Holov, America's Doak and the European Union's Ayre also expressed their thoughts of winning the championship. Ayre even expressed his love for Chris on the Internet, saying that Crazy was his goddess. If he could meet Crazy in the finals, he would propose to her on the spot.
In addition, India's Omar and Shahan also said that India was the number one in Asia. They would prove their strength in this competition and would show no mercy to their Huaxia opponents!
Pogba from the African Alliance, Sanji from Brazil, and the others also loudly declared that they would win the championship, gaining the support of their own people.
In comparison, Huaxia's public opinion was relatively weak. Due to their national characteristics, Huaxia people were reserved. Before the Warlords participated in the competition, they would not arrogantly say that they would definitely win the championship. Because if they lost, they would definitely be insulted by the people.
In addition, facing the tyrants of other countries, these Warlords did not have the confidence to win the championship. If they were lucky, it was possible to enter the top eight or top four. But to win the championship, they were still lacking.
Only Feng Ni, Tang Wenbo, Dolong, and Xin Ruhai expressed their dissatisfaction with India's arrogance. They said that they must suppress India.
When the Warlord Arena was about to start, Lin Zhen appeared to speak.
"My return should have disappointed many people. But whether you are disappointed or not, I have already reserved the champion of the God of War Arena this time. No matter who you are, you can't stop me from moving forward. People of Huaxia, you can celebrate in advance!"
Lin Zhen's words received a large amount of support in China. For so long, Lin Zhen had done many big things and had proven his strength many times.
In addition to the donation, Lin Zhen also had a lot of influence among the martial artists.
Obtaining first place in the Massacre Leaderboard in the preliminaries had won him a lot of fans. Regardless of whether he could really win the championship this time, his words had greatly increased the morale of Huaxia.
Although there were some people who criticized Lin Zhen for being arrogant and boastful, they were just small waves and could not cause much of a stir.
*****
In the World Alliance of Warlords, the leaders of America, Russia, and the European Union gathered together.
The World Alliance of Warlords was mainly ruled by Warlords. Although there were many Star Realm experts in this world, Star Realm experts basically did not participate in worldly management. This was also a common rule.
Therefore, these leaders were all Warlords. Although they might not be very strong, they were definitely smart Warlords.
The Russian Warlord took the lead and said, "I think you all must have heard the arrogant words of that Chinese kid."
The European Union Warlord said, "That's right. This kid is probably one of the top Warlords in Huaxia now. If he can suppress his arrogance, Huaxia will not be able to do much in this Warlord Arena."
The American Warlord snorted, "It was also your idea to use the Seven Star Sword to trick him. But what happened? He actually bought the Seven Star Sword with the money from the European Union. "
"So what? The Seven Star Sword itself is not worth more than 50 billion. We did not lose out because of it. "
"Alright, you two stop arguing about this matter. Among the seven countries, the only one that can threaten us is China. In order to maintain our position as the top three in the World Alliance of Warlords, we must first weaken China's strength. The competition is about to start. What should we do?" The Russian Warlord stopped the two from arguing.
"That's simple too. Didn't the Indian region express their intention to get closer to us? Then we'll give them a chance. Lin Zhen will draw lots for the first round. We'll give him an Indian expert. It's best if we can eliminate Lin Zhen in one fell swoop!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
The three wargods immediately came up with a plan. Although the drawing of lots was randomly done by the computer, the computer was also controlled by people. As the leaders of the three major member states, each of them had one authorization to choose. In other words, they could only control three battles, and they couldn't do more than that.
In order to maintain their position and suppress Huaxia, the American leader decisively used his chance on Lin Zhen.
*****
As the time for the Warlord Arena approached, a series of dazzling lots were drawn.
After counting, there were currently 1,023 participants. He Liu did not come online at the time and was considered to have forfeited.
If one person forfeited, one person would be able to advance to the next round without a fight.
After a while, the contestants who attracted the most attention were divided into groups.
This was 1,024 to 512. The possibility of strong players meeting each other was very small. No one expected to see a fierce battle in the first round.
However, when the groups were released, one group attracted everyone's attention.
Omar from India was up against Lin Zhen from China in the first round!
No one expected a strong match to occur in the first round. As the Warlord Arena started, almost 80% of the world's attention was on the match between the two of them.
All the big screens were zooming in on the match between Lin Zhen and Omar. The others were not worth paying attention to.
In Lin Zhen's house, he also put on his helmet. With a flash of white light, the virtual environment appeared.
