Chapter 127: Chapter 127: What Lin Zhen Fears (Sixth Update)
Translator: 549690339
Lin Zhen suddenly felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his shoulders. Instinctively, he activated his spiritual power to resist!
To resist spiritual pressure, one needs a strong will and the ability of a spiritual mind master. However, many spiritual mind masters have been tested before Lin Zhen, and not a single one dared to truly resist, as they were all intimidated by Yan Qiyue’s reputation!
Yet Yan Qiyue’s reputation had little effect on Lin Zhen. Living in the interstellar world for years, he had seen countless big-shots and would not be too fearful of Yan Qiyue. Therefore, he chose to resist without hesitation.
A golden-silver aura emerged on the surface of Lin Zhen’s body, forcefully resisting the oncoming spiritual pressure!
This scene seemed incredible to others, because in the eyes of Hua Xia people, Yan Qiyue was like a god, more of a spiritual symbol. Lin Zhen’s actions were equivalent to opposing a god!
“Damn! This kid is really fierce, daring to resist Yan Qiyue’s spiritual power!”
“Unbelievable, how can there be such a renegade? Doesn’t he know to show some respect for a national hero?”
“It’s really a case of the young calf fearing no tiger; primary war generals are indeed reckless.”
“I’m sure this kid has a rebellious streak in him.”
Everyone had something to say when they saw Lin Zhen using his spiritual power to resist Yan Qiyue, but at that moment, they noticed that Su Mingyue, over at the Advanced War Generals, was doing the same thing as Lin Zhen.
Su Mingyue was the Saintess of the Divine Sect, who devoutly worshipped the True God of the Stars. Naturally, she would not choose to kneel to Yan Qiyue, as it went against her faith.
Moreover, she was a spiritual mind master, and her spiritual power was even stronger than Lin Zhen’s. The golden-silver glow around her body was now predominantly gold, showing that she was at the late Golden Stage as a spiritual mind master.
The sight of two people at the Golden Stage resisting Yan Qiyue’s spiritual pressure simultaneously left onlookers dumbfounded.
Head Instructor Guo MO nodded continuously, “Hmm, not bad, not bad! Finally, we have such people in this group who dare to face formidable opponents. Su Mingyue, as the Saintess of the Divine Sect, her resistance to Yan Qiyue was within my expectations, but I never thought Lin Zhen could do this too. Old Guan, your Ice City really produced some talents. You even tried to ambush me by not mentioning this in advance.”
Guan Shanyue smiled awkwardly. He had been unaware of Lin Zhen’s abilities, and could only continue to stubbornly maintain his composure.
Lin Zhen’s resistance against Yan Qiyue was extremely difficult. The spiritual pressure seemed to be everywhere, and he had to mobilize all his spiritual power to fight it, feeling as if he could be crushed by Yan Qiyue at any moment.
He even felt his legs trembling, with his muscles and bones crying out in pain, showing signs of giving in.
“No! I can’t fall, I absolutely can’t fall. In this new life, I vowed never to be
stepped on by anyone, not even by a god, let alone Yan Qiyue!”
A minute passed, and Yan Qiyue’s spiritual pressure increased, making it even more challenging for Lin Zhen to resist.
On the other side, Su Mingyue’s condition was no better. Covered in sweat, she gritted her teeth with her eyes closed, her pretty face pale.
After two minutes, Yan Qiyue’s pressure surged again. Both their legs weakened, about to fall to their knees, but they supported themselves at the same time with their hands.
“Hang in there, Mingyue! Don’t lose to that kid!”
“Lin Zhen, keep it up! You can’t lose to a girl!”
People from Capital Base City and Ice City Base City shouted together, cheering for their respective contestants.
Even Li Changying and Jiang Huai, the Elite War Generals, only managed to hold on for two minutes. But now, Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue had surpassed them.
However, this was their limit. As Yan Qiyue’s spiritual pressure intensified further, they could barely hang on.
At two minutes and eighteen seconds, Su Mingyue suddenly opened her eyes. Her spiritual power dissipated as she could no longer resist, but instead of kneeling, she chose to fall backward.
At the same time, Lin Zhen was also unable to resist any longer. After all, Yan Qiyue’s spiritual pressure was too terrifying, but he made an unexpected move.
He actually took out his Silver Spear from his Space Ring and made a thrusting motion at Yan Qiyue’s throat!
Although the move was not completed due to the overwhelming spiritual pressure, Lin Zhen’s action left people aghast!
The screen disappeared as both contestants passed.
Su Mingyue scored 9-5 points, while Lin Zhen scored a perfect 10!
In the third obstacle, Lin Zhen finally took the lead in the scores, achieving full marks in three consecutive rounds!
To score full marks in this round, one needed an indomitable heart and a determination to conquer everything, even if the opponent was Yan Qiyue, or the world’s number one expert. You needed the courage to fight!
Draw your sword, draw your spear! No matter who the opponents are, show them your strength, and exhibit the warrior’s most important fighting spirit!
Lin Zhen achieved this by choosing to fight when faced with an unbeatable opponent, and that’s why he scored full marks once again!
People like Su Mingyue, Jiang Huai, and Li Changying, although they never succumbed when facing Yan Qiyue, they never thought of fighting him. The concept that he is an unbeatable strong one has long been deeply ingrained in them. Since he is not an opponent, why bother humiliating oneself?
However, Lin Zhen is different. Since his rebirth, he no longer fears anyone, something that others cannot compete with. That’s why he got full marks.
Su Mingyue glanced at Lin Zhen’s score, stayed silent for a moment, and then spoke calmly, “You are very powerful. I will remember you, but I will not lose to you in the end.”
“Then you’d better pray to your True God for blessings,” Lin Zhen replied indifferently, without any respect for the deity in his words, causing Su Mingyue’s pretty face to turn cold all at once.
But Lin Zhen didn’t say a second sentence and immediately stood up and headed for the next level.
Having met with Su Mingyue several times, he didn’t want her to follow her previous life’s path. He should find an opportunity to tell her about the true nature of the gods. For now, it’s better to administer a preventive shot first.
However, others didn’t know about the situation and were once again shocked by Lin Zhen’s full score.
“I bet this kid has a screw loose. Doesn’t he know what fear is?” “Foolish and bold, the foolishly bold one from Ice City. That’s him.” “He even dares to take action against Yan Oivue. Is he a little too daring?”
“Not daring, it’s probably the stubborn kind from the legends. This kid has a donkey’s temperament, and we better be careful when we face him in the future.”
Even Guo MO was shocked this time. After pondering for a while, he said, “Since I became the chief instructor, this is the first time I have seen such a situation. In the history of the God Generals Training Camp, only three people dared to take action against Yan Qiyue, and Lin Zhen is the third.” “There were such people? Who were the first two?” Guan Shanyue asked.
“One of them is from a long time ago when Yan Qiyue was not that famous. He was almost at the same level as Yan Qiyue, so he wouldn’t be that fearful.” “What about the second one?” Shi Sheng couldn’t help but ask.
“The second one is Chen Fenglie, the current top martial artist in the world, the founder of Gale Martial Arts Hall.”
Guo Mo’s words silenced the instructors. One was at the same level as Yan
Qiyue, which is not a good reference, and the other is the world’s top martial artist. So what about Lin Zhen? What achievements will Lin Zhen have in the future?
After a while, Shi Sheng said, “Let’s watch the fourth round. The fourth round is a test of their real strength. It will tell if their abilities are like real gold.”
For the time being, Lin Zhen’s score has surpassed Su Mingyue, and the competition between the two has already taken shape.
They were neck and neck, heading towards the fourth level together. As for the performance of the other martial artists, no one paid attention.
Upon arriving at the fourth level, at the 1600 meters spot, Lin Zhen and Su Mingyue put on helmets. Lin Zhen saw the scene of Ice City Base City being attacked by mutant beasts.
As a martial artist from Gale, Lin Zhen was also assigned to the front line. Without hesitating, he picked up his shiny silver spear and went to battle.
Lin Zhen was very clear about his power. He couldn’t kill A-level Mutant Beasts yet, but B-level ones were not too difficult for him. Along with a group of martial artists, they entered the mutant beast herd, Lin Zhen’s spear danced up and down, with five flying knives occasionally sweeping past, one by one, mutant beasts fell at his feet.
His understanding of mutant beasts is unmatched by others, and his killing efficiency is naturally high. Within ten minutes, he killed nine B-level mutant beasts and twenty-six C-level mutant beasts!
This efficiency was even slightly higher than Tang Yu’s, which is not to say that Tang Yu’s strength was inferior to Lin Zhen’s. His strength was definitely above Lin Zhen’s, but his combat experience couldn’t compare to Lin Zhen, who had lived for thousands of years and was reborn.
At the end of the battle, Lin Zhen scored 9-5 points, the first time he didn’t get full marks.
On the other side, Su Mingyue also scored 9-5 points; she even killed an A-level mutated beast. However, since she is an Advanced War General, the requirements are higher, and she didn’t get a perfect score either.
After four rounds, Su Mingyue scored thirty-nine points, while Lin Zhen scored 39-5 points, still leading Su Mingyue by 0.5 points.
This battle also made people fully recognize Lin Zhen’s strength. This young man from Ice City had real strength comparable to that of elite Intermediate War Generals.
The two continued to climb and didn’t stop until the fifth level.
This was the only level that people couldn’t see, and everyone was waiting for the results.
As long as Lin Zhen passed, he would definitely be the first in the junior group, and if Su Mingyue passed, she would also definitely be the first in the advanced group. Now it depended on whether they could overcome their inner demons or not.
The fifth level is about digging into the deepest fear hidden in one’s heart. This challenge has little to do with strength, and the key lies in whether one can overcome their inner fear.
Lin Zhen reached the fifth level, which was already located at an altitude of two thousand meters and was the end of the Star Fruit Tree trunk, where the path forward had also disappeared.
Looking around the platform at the fifth level, they were surrounded by lush tree crowns that blocked the sky and sun with greenery that stretched as far as the eye could see, like a forest kingdom.
The staff on the platform handed Lin Zhen a helmet again, which he took and sat down with before letting out a deep breath.
This was the only level he wasn’t sure about; his inner fear was not so easy to conquer..
