Chapter 94: Chapter 94: Blizzard
Translator: 549690339
Lin Zhen and Li Huainian’s battle lasted for five minutes, with Li Huainian panting and drenched in sweat.
Constantly attacking was even more exhausting, but on the other hand, Lin Zhen used the advantage of his long weapon to defend easily. After five minutes, Lin Zhen’s forehead was only slightly sweaty, which was just a warm-up.
“Hehe! Brother Li, thank you for going easy on me, it seems that I will have someone to treat me for lunch.”
Li Huainian admitted defeat: “Alright, Lin Zhen, I submit to you. Even my golden maces couldn’t force you back a single step. With this alone, you truly deserve the title of Ice City’s Best Warrior.”
Li Huainian got off the stage, and a War General mocked him, “Old Li, it seems you lost to a mere Warrior.”
“Hmph! Lin Zhen is indeed powerful. If you’re not convinced, you can go up and try. With your short sword, there’s no way you can force Lin Zhen back.”
The War General retorted, “You’re wrong. The shorter the weapon, the more dangerous it is. If I were to use my short sword on the stage, Lin Zhen would have a hard time defending against it, unless he used his long spear to counterattack. Constantly defending is not sustainable.”
“Then you go up and try. If you lose too, we’ll both treat him to a meal.”
This War General originally wanted Lin Zhen to rest a bit, but Lin Zhen didn’t feel tired and took the initiative to invite him to the stage.
Once this man got on stage, his short sword attacks were indeed more fierce. Because of its shorter length, his strikes were faster, with sword lights attacking from various angles aimed at pushing Lin Zhen out of the circle.
However, Lin Zhen’s immovable like a mountain technique had become more proficient, and he wouldn’t let his opponent succeed. Under the drive of Lightning Ion, his long spear’s speed had even surpassed the opponent’s short sword, deflecting all attacks!
Five minutes later, the Martial Artist could only admit defeat and step down.
After defeating two consecutive War Generals, a third person took the stage.
The result was still the same- no one could force Lin Zhen out of the ring. However, this person made Lin Zhen move his feet a little, which was the best performance so far.
These War Generals were getting a little embarrassed by their continuous failures and hoped someone could step up and win for them. They took turns getting on stage, and Lin Zhen didn’t refuse anyone. With his long spear in hand, he defeated seven junior War Generals in a row!
These War Generals, in order to defeat Lin Zhen, tried various unconventional methods, but Lin Zhen held his long spear firm, his mind unshakable. They couldn’t force him out of the ring, no matter how cunning they were.
As noon approached, the War Generals stopped trying. The seven who lost invited Lin Zhen for a fancy meal as promised.
They were very willing to treat Lin Zhen to dinner, as building a relationship with such a promising Martial Artist was definitely not a bad thing.
In the afternoon, Lin Zhen returned to the Gale Martial Arts Hall and practiced with several junior War Generals for a few hours. This time, three of them almost made Lin Zhen take a step back, but still couldn’t force him out of the circle.
Early the next morning, Lin Zhen came to the martial arts hall again. After a whole day of sparring, only one person managed to make Lin Zhen take a step
back.
On the third day, none of the Gale’s junior War Generals could make Lin Zhen take half a step back, let alone force him out of the circle.
By this point, Lin Zhen had fully grasped the realm of the immovable mountain technique, and his practice was nearly complete.
On the morning of the fourth day, the network monitor delivered the goods. Lin Zhen found that he had collected two kilograms of liquid metal and paid a total of 440 million for it.
“This is really burning money. I can’t live like this without making more money.”
Lin Zhen put away the liquid metal and found more goods. It turned out that the Qi-boosting elixir he had ordered had finally arrived.
This bottle of Qi-boosting elixir was custom-made for Lin Zhen, worth two billion, and could ensure that he awakened the maximum amount of Dantian
With that, Lin Zhen had fulfilled all the basic conditions for his promotion to War General.
The largest Dark Energy Stone in history had been prepared, which could greatly enhance Lin Zhen’s strength.
The Star Core of Lightning Power could help Lin Zhen condense a Dark Star and cultivate gravity.
With this bottle of Qi-boosting elixir, as long as Lin Zhen had one day, he could smoothly advance to the War General stage.
Lin Zhen had originally planned to wait until he received the elixir, advance to War General, and then set off for Zhao Dong. However, after looking at the weather, he felt that he had to change his plan.
The air outside became exceptionally cold, and a chill wind began to blow. It seemed that Zhang Guanyue’s words were about to come true. The once-in-a-century blizzard was about to arrive, perhaps even today.
If Lin Zhen chose to break through to the War General Stage today, Li Tianhao and the others would see the snow and probably wouldn’t stay in Zhao Dong any longer. They might rush back quickly, and upon returning they would spread the word about Lin Zhen being a coward, afraid to go to Zhao Dong. This would be bad for Lin Zhen.
Over the past few days, Lin Zhen noticed that the Gale War Generals who were practicing with him seemed hesitant to speak their minds. People didn’t want him to stay here; they wanted him to resolve the matter with Li Tianhao once and for all and not bring shame to Gale Martial Arts Hall.
Even the newcomers who had joined the martial arts hall sometimes looked at
Lin Zhen and asked, “Brother Lin, when are you going to Zhao Dong?”
So Lin Zhen couldn’t wait any longer. He absolutely couldn’t let Li Tianhao and his people come back.
Thinking about this, Lin Zhen immediately posted a message on the internet.
The post was extremely arrogant, with the content: “To all those in Zhao Dong who dare to challenge me, wash your necks and wait to be slaughtered, Lin Zhen is setting off now!”
After Lin Zhen posted the message, he soon received a response from Li Tianhao.
“Hahaha, Lin Zhen, you timid little rat, are you finally crawling out of your hole? I’ll be waiting for you in Zhao Dong, whoever doesn’t come or goes back, just get the hell out of Ice City!”
There were also many replies below Li Tianhao’s post, where Lin Zhen saw many familiar faces, such as Zhang Huai, Ouyang Yu, and others, all of whom were currently in Zhao Dong.
Lin Zhen turned off his phone and drove his Raptor away from his home, stopping at the supermarket to buy many essentials. Thick coats, matches, food, and other cold-proof items.
With these things, Lin Zhen left Base City.
Zhao Dong is located northwest of Base City, about 200 kilometers away.
However, the road conditions in this direction are not very good, as there are
no satellite cities, making this a very difficult journey.
It took Lin Zhen more than two hours to travel over 100 kilometers, and the sky was already very gloomy.
A snowstorm was imminent, but for the people of the Ice City Region, snowfall was nothing more than eating and drinking, just as easy. It’s just that no one was aware that this blizzard would be unprecedented!
Zhao Dong County City is known as the graveyard of martial artists, meaning that countless martial artists have perished here.
However, it also has another name, the treasure trove of martial artists, because there are often high-level mutated beasts appearing here, and with good luck, one could even find meteorites or the legacy of senior martial artists. After all, many people have died, and a lot of good things have been left behind in the wilderness.
The urban area of Zhao Dong is relatively well-preserved, at least seeing that this is a city, with many buildings still standing tall. In the city, there are occasional sounds of monsters roaring and martial artists fighting them.
Inside a high school laboratory building, Li Tianhao’s group was in a room.
There were four people beside Li Tianhao, two of whom were tall and strong men named Xiao Tianzuo and Xiao Tianyou, one was a mustached man named Old Hu from the Gale, and the other was a svelte middle-aged man named Lou Qingfeng.
Li Tianhao put down his phone and excitedly said: “He’s finally coming! Lin Zhen is on his way! He was confirmed to have left Base City by car, heading in this direction, hahaha! This bastard finally took the bait, once he comes to Zhao Dong, he won’t be able to go back alive!”
Old Hu shook his head: “Lin Zhen is still young, I didn’t think he would dare to come. ”
“Hmph! Is it possible for him not to come? I’ve been doing so much work and mobilizing so many resources recently. I even used my father’s resources. Many people are attacking him online, and the Gale Martial Arts Hall has faced a lot of pressure. He has no choice but to come, even if reluctantly.”
Xiao Tianzuo said: “But I guess Lin Zhen is not a fool. I’m sure he’s done his research before coming. I think our information has probably been investigated by him.”
Li Tianhao sneered: “How could I not think of that? But Lin Zhen can only find out about you two, he can’t find anything about Mr. Lou.”
Lou Qingfeng nodded: “My information is indeed not accessible to him, but I can’t guarantee he won’t guess anything. We still need to be prepared; once he comes, we can’t give him any chance to turn things around.”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Lou, I have other arrangements in place, just in case he doesn’t dare to come. As long as he comes, it’s all good.”
Li Tianhao turned to Old Hu and said: “Old Hu, search for all martial artists in
Zhao Dong, and issue a Wild Assassination Order for everyone, except Lin Zhen!”
“You want to issue a Wild Assassination Order?” The others were all stunned.
“The so-called Wild Assassination Order is to use the internet to search for martial artists in a certain area and send a message to all martial artists within that area, offering a bounty to whoever kills a certain person. Generally speaking, it is rare for people to resort to this unless they have a deep-rooted hatred.’
“That’s right, a Wild Assassination Order, and set the bounty at 30 billion. I want every single person who encounters Lin Zhen to see him as 30 billion. Let’s see who won’t be tempted. I want Lin Zhen to have no way to escape, like having no way to heaven and no door to the earth!”
The others were secretly shocked. Li Tianhao was really generous with his offer, a bounty of 30 billion. Even a War God might not be able to ignore it easily.
“Don’t think 30 billion is a lot. With Lin Zhen around, I’m afraid I won’t be able to get An Ning’s heart easily. Once Lin Zhen dies, An Ning won’t be able to escape my grasp. Do you know how much the entire An family is worth?
“Lin Zhen, oh Lin Zhen, this Zhao Dong will be your graveyard!”
Li Tianhao got up, feeling quite triumphant, and walked to the window. Suddenly, he sneezed.
“Damn! It’s so cold, it’s snowing outside.”
The biting northwest wind blew outside the window, bringing a flurry of snow, and in a short time, the northern land was already covered in white..
