As the medicinal effect gradually took effect, the feeling of poisoning in his body slowly faded away.
However, Lin Zhen didn’t think about going back into Lotus Lake again. The current Lotus Lake was still a bit too difficult for him. He needed to immerse himself here for a while, consolidate the realm of the Intermediate War God, and kill more A-level Mutant Beasts. He would go to Lotus Lake again after his strength had stabilized at the fourth level.
A-level Mutant Beasts. He would go to Lotus Lake again after his strength had stabilized at the fourth level.
After all, he had just broken through to the Four-level War God, and his realm was not yet stable. This time, it was a bit risky.
For the following period, Lin Zhen didn’t go anywhere but stayed by the lakeshore to rest. First, he used three days to stabilize his realm, and then he began to absorb the more than a dozen A-level Poisonous Insect Crystals in his hand.
These ten-plus crystals helped Lin Zhen improve his realm a bit, reaching the early stage of the Four-level War God.
After the absorption, Lin Zhen still didn’t rush back to Lotus Lake, but instead wandered around the vicinity, starting to hunt A-level Mutant Poisonous Insects and obtain their crystals.
He could fly and teleport instantly. As long as he didn’t recklessly rush into the A-level poisonous insect pile, he basically wouldn’t encounter any danger.
After spending more than twenty days like this, Lin Zhen had hunted several hundred A-level poisonous insects. Each crystal he absorbed helped his realm progress rapidly.
Twenty-eight days later, Lin Zhen finally made another breakthrough, reaching the middle stage of the Four-level War God.
“Phew! That’s almost enough. I’ve reached the middle stage of Four-level War God, my speed and strength have broken through again, my Spiritual Power and Dantian energy have improved. Dealing with those leeches should be much easier.”
“Also, during these days, I’ve come up with a way to enter the bottom of Lotus Lake. Now is the perfect time to give it a try.”
Lin Zhen prepared himself to enter the Lotus Lake again.
However, just as he was about to take action, he saw from the top of the mountain that someone was flying towards him.
Spiritual Mind Master!
Lin Zhen’s eyes narrowed slightly. This was not the God Generals Training Camp, so there were not that many Spiritual Mind Masters. Moreover, according to Lin Zhen’s estimation, no War Gods would come to adventure in the Five Connected Pools, as the secret of the poisonous insect crystals had not yet been discovered by the outside world at this time.
But the appearance of a Spiritual Mind Master in this place couldn’t help but make Lin Zhen vigilant. It might have been targeted at him.
Lin Zhen had noticed him, and the Spiritual Mind Master had also noticed Lin Zhen. He immediately sped up and flew towards Lin Zhen.
Since he had been discovered, Lin Zhen saw no need to hide. He held the Tyrant Spear in his hand and waited for the opponent to arrive.
The opponent’s flying speed was very fast, and in just a short while, the distance between him and Lin Zhen had closed to within a hundred meters. They could already clearly see each other’s faces.
“A Westerner!” Lin Zhen was slightly startled, not expecting a Western War God to appear here.
The Western man quickly came to Lin Zhen’s side, put away the shield with a cross at his feet, sized up Lin Zhen for a while, then took out his phone and looked at it, before laughing: “Haha, you are Lin Zhen. I didn’t expect to find you so quickly. If I had known it would be this easy, I wouldn’t have let Alice leave. She could have just waited for me.”
“Who are you?” Lin Zhen asked.
“I am Hansen from Madrid Base City. Lin Zhen, you should remember this name because it’s the man who will send you back into the arms of the True God of the Stars.”
Lin Zhen also sized up Hansen. Lin Zhen was nearly 1.9 meters tall, but he was still a little shorter than this man. This man was over 1.9 meters tall and very burly. He was a Seventh-level War God.
Lin Zhen had some accessment of the enemy’s strength. This Hansen gave him a sense of danger.
“Lin Zhen, you really are young. Being a Four-level War God at such a young age, I have to say you’re a genius. Hmm… A genius who is about to fall.” Hansen said, taking a Western sword in his hand with a guard.
Hansen said, taking a Western sword in his hand with a guard.
It was wrapped with a sea-blue glow, a Middle Grade Star Artifact.
“Is that so? I think it’s far from certain. Whoever sent you, you made a foolish move today.”
Lin Zhen didn’t fear the opponent and flicked his Tyrant Spear.
He had already advanced to the Intermediate War God, challenging someone three levels higher was not impossible. He wanted to give it a try.
“Hehe, how naive, little guy. You have no idea how powerful a Seventh-level
War God with eight times compressed Dantian energy is. It’s a real god!”
Before his words fell, Hansen suddenly broke out. In the blink of an eye, the Western sword in his hand turned into a poisonous snake, covering many vital spots all over Lin Zhen’s body!
The move created a strong wind, as fast as lightning. Lin Zhen immediately focused on defense!
However, Lin Zhen didn’t care much, as such intensity of attack was completely within his defensive range. It seemed he had overestimated this foreigner.
But before the sword’s tip arrived, what reached Lin Zhen first was the Mental Shock!
Lin Zhen couldn’t help but tilt his head. The Mental Shock made him feel dizzy. The opponent’s Spiritual Power was not inferior to his own!
On the other hand, Hansen seemed to have no problem. His sword’s speed didn’t slow down at all. Lin Zhen’s hurried defense was not in time, so he could only wrap the liquid metal armor around his body!
“Puff puff puff!”
After a few sword flowers, Lin Zhen was hit by three swords, but fortunately, the interception of liquid metal saved him from injury.
“Hehe! You’re quite a lucky fellow. I was careless this time. Although I hit you several times, none of them were fatal. Next time, I will pierce your chest with one sword.”
Seeing the opponent’s pupils changing slightly, Lin Zhen immediately teleported without hesitation.
He instantly flashed dozens of meters away, and the opponent’s mental shock missed.
“As expected, just like the information said, you have a miraculous teleportation ability. However, it’s useless. Next time, I will interrupt your teleportation.”
Hansen rushed over, and Lin Zhen’s second teleportation was indeed interrupted by his mental shock.
Lin Zhen was hit by the mental shock and barely blocked several times. He was almost injured, but Hansen remained unscathed.
“How is this possible? Why is this guy not affected by the backlash of the mental shock? If he keeps using mental shock like this, I can hardly fight against him, unless my spiritual power is higher than his. And this person is also in the early stage of Dark Gold, just like me.”
Seemingly seeing Lin Zhen’s confusion, Hansen confidently said, “Lin Zhen, maybe you have many tricks, but unfortunately, you can’t use them in front of me. Because you can’t break my mental shock, just wait for your defeat.” At this time, Lin Zhen carefully observed Hansen and finally found a clue.
There was a necklace around Hansen’s neck!
And it was not an ordinary necklace – it was actually a lower-grade Star Artifact!
A mental defense lower-grade Star Artifact not only can resist the opponent’s mental shock but also effectively prevent backlash.
If it weren’t for Lin Zhen’s extensive knowledge, he wouldn’t have discovered Hansen’s secret.
“So that’s it. With this mental defense Star Artifact, Hansen is almost invincible against anyone with weaker spiritual power than him.”
“Even though I have many skills, they are useless against mental shocks. He has a defensive Star Artifact, which minimizes the power of backlash.
However, I have to bear the mental shocks repeatedly. This fight is so unfair.”
However, I have to bear the mental shocks repeatedly. This fight is so unfair.”
Lin Zhen made a decisive decision. Since he couldn’t fight head-on, he had to think of a way.
He suddenly rose into the air, “Come on, Hansen, let’s fight in the sky. Let’s see if I’ll be afraid of your mental shock.”
“Haha, okay, no matter where you go, you can’t escape. And your shoes are nice; they’re mine now.”
Hansen also stepped on a shield and flew up, aiming to kill Lin Zhen.
As Hansen was about to perform mental shock, Lin Zhen suddenly spread his hand, and thousands of rays of light shone in his palm, causing Hansen to instinctively cover his eyes!
“Kill!
Lin Zhen instantly teleported in front of Hansen, and the long spear in his hand was launched like a storm!
Hansen lost the initiative and hurriedly blocked.
At first, he didn’t take Lin Zhen too seriously, but after this real confrontation, he immediately realized the terror of Lin Zhen.
The long spear was like a rolling river, wave after wave of attacks seemed endless, and he had to fight with all his strength to block each time, but the end was nowhere in sight.
Electric lights wrapped around the spear, and golden air crisscrossed. The two clashed for less than a minute, and Hansen was hit by two shots, blood was flowing from his shoulder and thigh!
“Damn it, this eastern kid is so strong. If it weren’t for my mental defense Star
Artifact, I might have died here today!”
“Lin Zhen! Enough!”
“Boom!”
Lin Zhen’s shot hit Hansen’s abdomen, but a layer of Star Device Armor appeared on the surface of his body. The middle-grade Star Artifact blocked Lin Zhen’s fatal shot.
Hansen’s body flew back dozens of meters, blood oozing from the corner of his mouth due to the impact, but he quickly rushed back, “Lin Zhen, I was careless just now. I won’t give you any more chances this time. Die under my mental shock!”
Seeing Hansen’s desperate posture, Lin Zhen secretly regretted that he didn’t expect the opponent to have Star Device Armor, otherwise, he would have taken him down in the previous wave of attacks.
With three major Star Artifacts protecting the opponent, especially the mental defense one, Lin Zhen admitted that he temporarily couldn’t do anything about him.
With no other options left, Lin Zhen’s body swayed, and he quickly fell!
The Lotus Lake was below them. As the two were still at a distance, Lin Zhen glided in an arc, swiftly approaching the surface of the lake.
Hansen was initially chasing closely, but when Lin Zhen approached the lake surface, countless giant leeches rushed into the sky, instantly surrounding Lin Zhen. Hansen quickly stopped and barely avoided entering the leeches’ attack freeweb(n)ovel
range.
“Lin Zhen! You’re seeking death, and I won’t accompany you in dying!” Hansen shouted from the shore.
Meanwhile, Lin Zhen had already entered the water. He quickly cut off a piece of the suction pads, and the liquid metal turned into a huge eggshell, wrapping Lin Zhen. He began to sink into the lake.
The leeches suctioned the liquid metal but immediately let go. They had no
interest in the metal..
