After leaving the bar, Li Tianhao made a call to his home from his car.
“Hello! Mom, where’s my dad?”
The person answering the phone was Zhao Siqing, Li Tianhao’s mother, who is also a War God-level strong one.
It’s extremely rare for women to come this far. Generally speaking, the ratio of male to female martial artists is about ten to one. Due to the limitations of talent and strength, it is more difficult for women to break through, but those who break through are undoubtedly strong ones. Li Wanfeng is also a War God, but in terms of strength, Zhao Siqing is superior.
“Your dad is here, son, where are you? Do you want your dad on the phone?”
“No need, just tell my dad that I’ll be back soon, and to prepare a personally tailored Genetic Potion for me, I’m going to break through today.”
Zhao Siqing was delighted: “You have finally figured it out? That’s my good son, can you tell your mom why you want to do it today?”
“Because I have to deal with someone, a martial artist just like me, he’s taking An Ning away from me, and I have to kill him personally!”
“Who dares to do such a thing? Son, you tell your mom, and I’ll go kill him right away!” Zhao Siqing said fiercely, as a mother, she doted her son more than Li Wanfeng.
“No need, I have to deal with this personally, you and dad just don’t interfere, otherwise, I won’t use the potion.”
“Alright, alright, we will listen to you, hurry back, your dad and I are waiting for you.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Siqing said to Li Wanfeng who had been listening with his ears up: “Did you hear that? Your son wants to take the personally tailored potion to fight for love, isn’t that a great thing? You better make that potion perfect for me, my son can’t have any problems.”
“Don’t worry, wifey. The likelihood of success is very high with the personally tailored potion this time, at least sixty percent. If it still fails, I might as well just kill myself.”
“So, are you really going to let our son handle this matter by himself?”
“Of course, young people should have more trials and tribulations. If we don’t let him deal with it himself, his attitude might not be right, and his future achievements will be limited. I believe my son Li Wanfeng is not a coward.”
When only Lin Zhen’s group of three was left in the bar, Meng Dong gave Lin Zhen a thumbs up: “Lin, today I learned that the reputation of a martial artist is so important. I feel like I’m no match for Ma Dong, but he seems to be scared of you like a mouse is of a cat. You must have made a name for yourself amongst the martial artists.”
An Ning also nodded: “Lin Zhen, you are amazing.”
“Haha, it’s just a coincidence, let’s not talk about that. Today is for Meng Dong’s celebration, let’s drink.”
Meng Dong ordered a big feast, attracting a feast of delicious food. However, before they even started eating, An Ning received a call from her family.
The call was from An Ning’s father, who urgently ordered her to return home immediately. He did not mention the reason, but everyone knew the reason in their hearts.
It was Li Tianhao who informed An Ning’s family that An Ning was with a young martial artist student. As expected, An Ning’s father panicked and was in a hurry to find his precious daughter.
An Ning wanted to argue, but Lin Zhen shook his head and stopped her.
“Since it’s your family calling you, just go back. You haven’t done anything wrong, so there’s no need to worry, we’re just classmates right now, aren’t we?”
An Ning glanced deeply at Lin Zhen, nodded, and her mood was clearly a bit low.
Just as An Ning’s pretty figure was about to leave the bar, Lin Zhen suddenly said: “An Ning, one day I will come to your house to find you, will you wait for me?”
An Ning turned around. looked at Lin Zhen for a while. and suddenly smiled.
her beauty blossoming like flowers: “Don’t come too late then, I am afraid I won’t be able to wait.’
Watching An Ning’s figure disappear, Lin Zhen turned his attention back to the table, only to see Meng Dong staring blankly at him.
“What are you looking at?”
“Lin, I found out you have thick skin now, you weren’t like this before.”
“Haha, strike while the iron is hot, right? With your seemingly rough, but actually vulgar demeanor, you might be single forever.”
“Damn! With my handsome appearance, who would be single, I couldn’t possibly be single.”
The two chatted and drank for half a day, and it wasn’t until the evening that Lin Zhen drove Meng Dong away.
After sending Meng Dong away, Lin Zhen did not go home but went to the martial arts hall and found a practice room to hone his Spiritual Power.
He practiced for more than half a night, but the results were evident; he was finally able to smoothly control three flying knives.
“Tomorrow we’ll enter the Wilderness Area. Although I’ve reached the Level Eight Fighter stage, there is no doubt that my strength is the lowest among my team.”
“My current Silver Four transformation has reached 40%, which is considered the Silver Middle Stage. Being able to control three flying knives will be my strongest means of survival and killing enemies.”
It wasn’t until daybreak that Lin Zhen had a little more than two hours of rest, waking up at eight o’clock.
He had some breakfast provided by the martial arts hall in the morning and met up with Shi Lei and Zhao Liang afterwards.
Lin Zhen put on his newly purchased deer-skin clothes, carried the Black Dragon Spear on his back, inserted the flying knives, and carried a large package containing many miscellaneous items he had bought on the internet.
They could use the large package to carry their spoils, too. After martial artists kill monsters, they couldn’t take their entire bodies with them, but they would collect some valuable items.
“Lin Zhen, are you ready?”
Shi Lei was also wearing protective gear, with a long sword on his back, looking spirited.
“Pretty much. ”
“Close enough is fine. This time, we’re heading north and will pass through a satellite city called Peony City. From there, we’ll head to our destination, which is right here.”
Having said that, Shi Lei laid out a map on the dining table and pointed.
The other teammates gathered around, and Gao Yan looked at where Shi Lei was pointing, his eyes lighting up: ‘Yi Lan County Town! This place is quite a treasure, bordering Wanda Mountain on the left and Songhua River on the right. It was a disaster area during the God Transformation Day. The monsters nearly slaughtered Yi Lan County, and those monsters that left the deep mountains changed their habits after living in the city for a long time, staying there and making it a paradise for them.”
Zhao Liang looked at Shi Lei: “Captain, our team’s strength is generally in the wilderness and villages, at most towns. This time we’re going directly to a county town, isn’t the risk a bit higher?”
Shi Lei waved his hand: ‘We’re not going directly into the core of Yi Lan County, but starting from the edge, gradually clearing a path to the core. That’s because I got some insider information.”
“What information?” Everyone’s eyes landed on Shi Lei’s face.
Shi Lei first checked the surroundings, saw that no one was paying attention to the corner of the restaurant, then lowered his voice and said to the others: “I have a brother in the Peony City Army, who was on night duty at the city wall.
This news made the others’ eyes light up: the Human Bear is a B-level monster, and there must be beast crystals inside its body. The value of this single monster is probably over a hundred million, plus the income from killing minor monsters along the way, they might earn up to two billion this trip.
Only Gao Yan pondered: “The human bear is not easy to deal with. We’d better plan meticulously and not capsize in Yi Lan County.”
“Of course, I have prepared the map of Yi Lan County, and we won’t be rash in our advances, retreating if necessary. How about it? Do you dare to take this adventure?”
‘Why not? We rarely get insider information like this. If it were discovered by other martial artist teams, we might not even get a taste of the soup.”
“Of course we’re going! Seeing such an opportunity and not daring to take a gamble, I’d have trouble sleeping at night.”
All the teammates were excited, and Shi Lei finally looked at Lin Zhen: “Lin Zhen, how about it? It’s a bit dangerous for your first time hunting. Are you worried?”
Lin Zhen shook his head: “Nothing to worry about.”
Although he said this, there was a ripple in Lin Zhen’s heart.
Yi Lan County, the place where the meteor shower fell on God Transformation Day, was hit hard, leaving it nearly flattened. But many meteorites were left in the city.
Many of the meteorites had been taken away by Base City and the Science and Technology Department, but there were still many meteorites left in the wilderness. Lin Zhen knew that there had been a precious meteorite in Yi Lan County before.
What makes meteorites valuable is the energy they contain.
This energy has been discovered by the Science and Technology Department, and they have named it Dark Energy. Dark Energy is the largest energy source in the cosmic space and a necessary ingredient for the Science and Technology Department’s genetic potions.
Meteorites are forbidden and cannot be privately owned or traded, even by martial artists. Once discovered, they will be severely punished by Base City. This is one of the few punishments that can restrain martial artists.
If a martial artist absorbs the Dark Energy within a meteorite, it will further strengthen their body. Generally speaking, only Star Realm warriors can successfully absorb the energy. For those below the Star Realm, the conditions for absorption are more stringent.
The meteorite that appeared in Yi Lan County contained a fist-sized Dark Energy stone. Lin Zhen faintly remembered that a female warrior obtained the meteorite. Serendipitously, the Level 9 fighter absorbed the Dark Energy stone, breaking through the female’s physiological limitations and meeting the War General’s standard in strength.
When the matter was later exposed, people even discussed this meteorite, saying that it was wasted on a woman. If a male martial artist had it, a master would have been created.
But right now, even giving an ordinary martial artist a Dark Energy stone wouldn’t provide them with the knowledge of how to absorb it.
However, Lin Zhen couldn’t remember who the woman was.
“Alright, since everyone agrees, let’s set off. I’ll drive one car, and you four drive the other two cars. I see that Lin Zhen has also bought a car, which will come in handy.”
The teammates got in their cars: Shi Lei’s black Mustang in front, Ye Tiancheng’s and Gao Yan’s Great Wall Phantom in the middle, followed by Lin Zhen and Zhao Liang’s Raptor.
The three roaring cars sped straight to the north gate of Ice City Base City.
