Chapter 231 - 231: 231 Bold Female War God (Fifth Update Ready)

The people outside found it hard to believe what they were witnessing. Wasn’t Lanslow with Huo Luofu? How could he have been taken out by Lin Zhen?

Could it be that Lin Zhen’s power had already surpassed Huo Luofu’s? This was absolutely impossible. Huo Luofu’s strength was well-known, deeply rooted in everyone’s hearts. Lin Zhen, who had only recently ascended to the status of a War God, couldn’t possibly have achieved this in such a short period of time, even if he were a god himself.

But Lanslow was dead, and that was an indisputable fact. The cyber fans of Lin Zhen erupted once more, with countless celebratory posts bursting forth like a geyser.

“Lin Zhen is so cool! I love you!”

“Tong Yuehu was just a burden, better off dead. Lin Zhen doesn’t need you, you were just hindering him. Did you really think you could blacken Lin Zhen’s reputation? Expelling Lin Zhen was the stupidest thing you’ve ever done in your life.”

“What will those haters have to say now? They’re all speechless, aren’t they?

Haha, Lin Zhen, keep going and take down Huo Luofu!”

“How many people in the Hall of Fame has Lin Zhen taken down now? Why isn’t a master like Lin Zhen in the Hall of Fame? What’s the point of such rankings?”

Posts after posts sprang up, leaving the haters feeling frustrated. As time ticked by and news of Lin Zhen’s elimination still hadn’t come, they were not only disappointed but also very perplexed, why were there no results from the fight between Huo Luofu and Lin Zhen?

With Lin Zhen collecting yellow gemstone fragments one after the other, Huo

Luofu had finally had enough of this snail-paced progress. He roared, “Lin Zhen, come down!”

An unprecedented huge gravity descended from the sky, affecting Huo Luofu’s entire being, his hair standing on end. Evidently, it was quite exhausting for him to exert such tremendous pressure.

The sunflower, already having a large head, was unable to withstand the immense pressure and collapsed.

Lin Zhen hadn’t expected Huo Luofu to be so extreme, to actually destroy the sunflower.

Unable to fly in mid-air, Lin Zhen quickly grabbed the edge of the sunflower, trying his best to maintain his balance as he plummeted.

The sound of rushing wind was heard as the ground rapidly approached.

Huo Luofu, with a vine of morning glory in his hand, kept his gaze locked on Lin Zhen as he fell, waiting for the moment they would be near ground.

When he was only about ten meters above the ground, the no-flight effect disappeared, Lin Zhen prepared to teleport away with a shift of his mental power.

“Whoosh!”

A massive gravitational force descended from the sky, stopping Lin Zhen mid-air and causing his body to uncontrollably smash into the ground!

“Lin Zhen, go ahead and die here!”

Huo Luofu’s body hit the ground like a cannonball. His legs almost nailed into the ground before he sprang up again, the gravity field continued to suppress Lin Zhen relentlessly.

Just when he was about to hit the ground, Lin Zhen managed to lift his hands. The liquid metal formed a long rope hooking onto a flower stem in the distance, attempting to pull himself out of the gravity field. Once out of the gravity field, Lin Zhen was confident that he could escape Huo Luofu’s pursuit.

But just as Huo Luofu was about to pounce, a sudden sword Qi attack came from behind. Its sharp aura sent chills down his spine, forcing him to abandon his chase of Lin Zhen and hastily turn to defend.

This was the first time Huo Luofu used a weapon, a huge warhammer, to block the incoming sword Qi.

Sparks flew, and upon seeing the person in front of him, Huo Luofu was infuriated, “Chris! You are Chris from the European Union. How dare you ambush me!”

At this moment, the gravity field suppressing Lin Zhen disappeared. Lin Zhen quietly withdrew the liquid metal, looking at the person who had ambushed Huo Luofu. He wanted to see who would be bold enough to do such a thing.

The woman had golden hair flowing down in waves, her face was hidden by a black gold mask, leaving only her blue gemstone-like eyes and elegantly curved red lips visible. Her skin was delicate and smooth, her lips and complexion actually made her seem like an Easterner.

She was wearing a black armor dress. Both the dress and the metal mask were Star Artifacts. In her hand, she held an Eastern-style sword, which was a High Grade Celestial Device.

A beautiful and mysterious woman, she was Chris, the War God from the European Union.

Next to her, was a typical Western beauty. Lin Zhen knew her as Alice, Hansen’s superior.

Chris’ attack was unsuccessful. Chuckling coldly, she said, “It’s because you both have such dense treasures on you. Who else would I ambush if not you?

Missed this time, it means you’re lucky. Alice, let’s go.”

With that, Chris jumped, quickly leaving the place. In a blink of an eye, she had disappeared.

Although Huo Luofu was extremely powerful, speed was his weak point. He could only watch Chris disappear, unable to chase after her.

Lin Zhen faintly heard Alice’s voice, “Miss, you’re too bold, daring to ambush

Huo Luofu… Wait for me.”

Lin Zhen glanced at Huo Luofu, and simply took to the skies, “Big Bear, you can stay here and mourn your fallen comrade. Farewell.”

For Spiritual Mind Masters, in places where they can fly, it’s nearly impossible to capture them, especially for Lin Zhen, who was a Dark Gold Stage Spiritual Mind Master. Huo Luofu could only watch as Lin Zhen left, helplessly furious.

“Lin Zhen! Chris! You both remember me! This is just a preliminary match, in the elimination round, unless you both give up, everyone who encounters me will die a very ugly death!”

Huo Luofu had never felt so frustrated. He vented his anger by trashing things around him, causing commotion, no one dared to approach him.

After venting, Huo Luofu started to move forward. He no longer cared about collecting gemstone fragments. He wanted to reach the Garden Cottage as soon as possible to secure a place in the next round.

Lin Zhen flew around for a bit, drawing a circle around the vicinity, only to find that within a few tens of miles, there were only a few sunflowers, and they were all already explored by others. The chance of finding any more Yellow Gemstone had become almost impossible.

He did not linger about; he headed straight toward the direction of the stream.

Along the way, thoughts about Chris still lingered in Lin Zhen’s mind.

Was this woman really planning to ambush Huo Luofu? How could she be so confident? If she did eliminate Huo Luofu, would she continue to attack him?

Given the circumstances back then, Lin Zhen felt that he had been the most ideal target, yet Chris had chosen the more challenging Huo Luofu.

Could it be that she was trying to save him?

Impossible. Lin Zhen didn’t know any Western War Goddess; such a thing

couldn’t possibly happen.

Casting aside his tumultuous thoughts, Lin Zhen gradually entered a bamboo grove.

The bamboo grove was the area closest to the stream. Once he passed the grove, he would arrive at the stream. And at that point, dusk was slowly descending, causing the air to gradually cool down.

Summer in the Heavenly Garden was about to end; autumn was about to arrive.

As night fell, Lin Zhen took a rest deep within the bamboo grove. Here, there were nocturnal spiders and bamboo green pythons—it wasn’t a good idea to travel at night.

He was lying on a bamboo leaf when suddenly, an alert sounded from the system.

Opening it, he saw that the first person to level up had arrived!

“Congratulations to Los Angeles War God Duke from the United States for reaching the Garden Cottage and obtaining a leveling quota. There are still 1,023 leveling quotas remaining.”

Lin Zhen was taken aback: “Good heavens, talk about being competitive. He’s already reached the Garden Cottage before autumn arrives. I reckon this may provoke those who haven’t leveled up yet. There will probably be fewer and fewer people competing for the Gemstone Fragments— I should seize the time to find more tomorrow.”

He checked the remaining number of people in the Heavenly Garden—it had already dropped from 13,000 to just over 8,000.

Lin Zhen closed his eyes. After a day of running and fighting, he was slightly fatigued, and so he began to rest.

The preliminary rounds had reached the third day, and the spectators were still as enthusiastic as ever, watching the individuals who kept qualifying on the big screen.

“Congratulations to War God Bogba from the African Union for reaching the Garden Cottage and obtaining a leveling quota. There are still 1,006 leveling quotas remaining.”

“Congratulations to War God Shah from India for reaching the Garden Cottage and obtaining a leveling quota. There are still 981 leveling quotas remaining.”

“Congratulations to Hua Xia War God Feng Ni for reaching the Garden Cottage and obtaining a leveling quota. There are still 922 leveling quotas remaining.”

“Congratulations to European Union War God Ai Er for reaching the Garden

Cottage and obtaining a leveling quota. The remaining leveling quotas are 870.”

One by one, the number of qualifying participants kept increasing, with Hua Xia’s Feng Ni, Tang Wenbo, Duo Long, Xin Rughai, Ma Yao, Wei Li, and others all leveling up.

At this time, the members of the Hall of Fame worldwide also demonstrated their strength. As long as they had not been eliminated midway, advancing was not an issue.

By noon on the third day, the number of qualifiers had reached 700, with only a little over 300 quotas remaining.

At that time, the focus of everyone’s attention—Lin Zhen—had just reached the edge of the stream.

Lin Zhen was making a real effort too. While the majority of the group had moved on to the stream, he was still lingering around the bamboo grove area. After scavenging around all morning, he finally found nearly twenty Yellow Gemstone Fragments.

Currently, Lin Zhen had obtained 500 Red Gemstone Fragments, 100 Blue Gemstone Fragments, and 40 Yellow Gemstone Fragments. He was incredibly wealthy.

Only after collecting the fortieth Yellow Gemstone Fragment did Lin Zhen decide to head for the stream.

He could delay it no longer—the leveling quotas were down to 300. If he missed the chance to level up because of his collection of fragments, it would be a total tragedy.

Upon reaching the river bank, what greeted Lin Zhen was a large river.

This river was several thousand meters wide, majestic and vast. There were quite a few people crossing the river on its surface.

None of these people were in the water, and none were flying. Instead, they all used bamboo from the river bank to construct massive rafts to cross the river.

“Why isn’t anyone flying across?”

Just as Lin Zhen was wondering, a Spiritual Mind Master couldn’t hold back and flew across the river, skimming the surface. Suddenly, a huge fish sprang out from the water, swallowing him whole.

With this fish, seven to eight other fish also leaped out of the water, though they didn’t catch anything.

“Good heavens! Such a huge fish— Is it a goldfish or a whale? No wonder the rafts have to be built so big. I should get moving now,” said Lin Zhen.

At that moment, Lin Zhen finally felt the urgency of time. If he were any later, he’d fear that he would not secure a spot..
