Originally, hearing such a beautiful voice in this desolate dense forest should have been enjoyable, but Lin Zhen suddenly felt a little tense.
As he turned his head abruptly, sure enough, Su Mingyue was standing not far away in a white dress, looking at Lin Zhen with a frosty face. Lin Zhen didn’t need to be polite to most students, but Su Mingyue was different.
It was not because Su Mingyue was a super beauty, nor was it because she was the Saintess of the Divine Sect, revered by thousands.
It was because of Su Mingyue’s bravery in her last life when Lin Zhen witnessed her dvinz for the Deoole of Earth without having the courage to rescue her, even though he did not have the strength at the time, he always felt a bit guilty.
Su Mingyue was undoubtedly a good girl, beautiful and with a sense of justice, but now she was a bit brainwashed by religion, and Lin Zhen had no good way to deal with her.
Besides, Lin Zhen was not Su Mingyue’s match right now.
Su Mingyue’s ability to say “Idol, where are you going?” proved that she had heard Zhang Yue’s call that day and knew who it was.
Lin Zhen cursed Zhang Yue in his heart for causing him trouble, but now he had to deal with Su Mingyue first.
“Haha! What a coincidence, Su Saintess is here too.
“Yes, sometimes in the world, there are no coincidences,” Su Mingyue responded lightly.
Lin Zhen said seriously: “Although I am glad to meet Su Saintess by chance, this is a wilderness, and after all, we are men and women, it might attract gossip if we stay together, so I better leave.”
Su Mingyue’s face was calm and unmoved: “As the Saintess of the Divine Sect, all the people in the world are the children of God, and we should be together. What gossip are you talking about, idol? Are you overthinking?”
Lin Zhen pulled the corner of his mouth: “Although I think I’m handsome, I’ve never been a star, especially in Capital Base City I am unknown. Su Saintess, it’s better not to call me an idol, I really can’t accept it.”
“We are all from the same batch of students, others can call you, why can’t I?” Su Mingyue looked down at Lin Zhen from a high place, her heart was happy to see the embarrassment on his face, she decided to mess with him, this damned little thief deserves it.”
“If you insist on calling me, I can’t do anything about it. But the idol has things to do now.”
Lin Zhen spoke and turned to leave.
But Su Mingyue spoke again: “Idol, why are you in such a hurry to leave? I know a place with three Star Crystals, aren’t you going to see if there’s a chance to grab them?”
“Ha! I don’t have time for that now. Since you found them, they are yours. I
won’t compete for them.”
“Since you know this principle, why did you grab them in the first place? Lin Zhen, I thought you were a talent. Haven’t you ever read the teachings of God? Firstly, you were disrespectful to the True God, then neglected the difficulties of your classmates, and focused on grabbing Star Crystals, do you know why I came to the platform now?”
Lin Zhen shook his head, indicating that he didn’t know.
“Xiao Wei, Xiao Yu, they were both seriously injured in the battle and can no longer continue their adventure; they can only return to the platform and choose to quit. They finally joined the training camp, but had to quit now, and will only be ordinary people in the future. I came here to see them off.”
“Is that so? That’s really a pity.” Lin Zhen smacked his lips, looked around, and searched for a quick escape route.
Su Mingyue was a little excited just now, but quickly calmed down and took a deep breath: “I want to save you, join our Divine Sect.”
“Join the Divine Sect?” Lin Zhen was startled.
“Yes, join the Divine Sect. Otherwise, with your temperament, you will cause trouble sooner or later. However, you happen to be a rare talent. After all, not everyone can steal Star Crystals in that situation, but you did it. I told you before that I would save you, and now it’s time for me to fulfill my promise.”
Lin Zhen thought for a moment: “Divine Sect… Ah, I know, it’s the religion that puts their hands together and says ‘Amitabha’ before they do anything.”
Su Mingyue’s watery peach blossom eyes flashed with anger: “How can you be so ignorant? What you’re talking about is Buddhism from the Christian era. Don’t you know anything about the teachings of the True God of the Stars?”
With that, Su Mingyue closed her eyes slightly, one jade hand resting on her full chest, her lips parted gently: “I am blessed to live under the stars, I am blessed to bathe in the night, my soul…”
After speaking more than a dozen lines, Su Mingyue had just finished the Divine Sect believer’s opening, and then opened her eyes: “It’s like this, you will… Damn little thief!”
As she opened her eyes, she saw a piece of Lin Zhen’s clothes disappearing into the depths of the shadows.
The young man hadn’t listened to her at all, but had tricked her into reciting the opening words because the Divine Sect’s opening words required her to close her eyes, and he, as a Spiritual Mind Master, could activate without a sound and leave quietly.
“You think you can escape easily? Let’s see where you can go!”
From childhood to adulthood, Su Mingyue had been a Saintess, always admired by others. When had she ever encountered someone like Lin Zhen, who didn’t give her any respect? She was already embarrassed by her own initiative to save Lin Zhen, but he not only rejected her kindness, but also ridiculed her.
Anger rarely appeared on her beautiful face. She didn’t even care that Tang Yu was waiting for her to return. At this moment, she wanted to catch Lin Zhen, teach him a good lesson without further ado, and let this disrespectful man know that God’s grace is not the only thing that saves humanity, but also divine punishment for those who blaspheme against God.
However, the bushes were dense and deep, but Lin Zhen still rushed out first, making it surprisingly difficult for Su Mingyue to chase after him.
Still, she continued to ride her flying shuttle and chased after him with her sword in hand, believing that as long as she didn’t give up, she would definitely find Lin Zhen.
Giving up due to this level of difficulty was not in her character as the Saintess of the Divine Sect.
Lin Zhen managed to shake off Su Mingyue, made a turn, and even left some traces on purpose, then he quietly circled back to the river and followed its course upstream.
This was a huge tree trunk with a width that even exceeded the Yangtze River. In the middle of the trunk, a river that gathered rainwater and dew wiggled its way down through the tree.
The river was more than ten meters wide, and the water surged, occasionally spurring waves that hit the banks.
“Hm, this river is good, and the depth is also quite suitable. As long as I follow this, I should be able to find a hiding place.”
After walking upstream for about three hours, Lin Zhen finally found a suitable location.
Above the river, there was a fork in the trees with water flowing down from above and pouring into the river, forming a waterfall.
The angle of the tree branch below the waterfall was very steep, and the water was raging, which was precisely where the river began to widen.
After the branches, there was a gentle slope, forming a small pool with a diameter of about thirty or forty meters, and the water was exceptionally clear. It was rare to find any insects in this area.
The river flowed beneath the pool, rushing downstream. Numerous branches and leaves laid across it, making it difficult to approach without searching for a water source like Lin Zhen had.
“Great! A waterfall, a river, and a pool – this is it!”
Lin Zhen made up his mind to settle down here and found a wide-open area near the pool’s edge that was suitable for living.
However, Lin Zhen had no plans to build a thatched cottage, as that would only provide a target for other martial artists.
He found a hollow in a tree on the open ground, lined it with several layers of flower petals, making it comfortable enough to rest in.
With the simple nest completed and night upon them, Lin Zhen rested here.
Lying in the nest and looking up, Lin Zhen was amazed to find a glimpse of the sky through the gaps above.
Although he could only see a small part of it, this was the first time Lin Zhen had seen the sky since he arrived inside the Star Fruit Tree.
Night fell, and the cold air filled the air. A crescent moon appeared on the horizon, flickering in and out of sight in Lin Zhen’s vision.
“This is a nice place. If only I could find some Star Crystals here, but unfortunately, I don’t have Zhang Yue’s sensitive nose.”
“I can’t leave the Star Fruit Tree for now. I wonder how everyone at home is doing?
As Lin Zhen pondered, he suddenly thought of something – calculating the time, it was only four or five days away from the New Year.
He had been reborn for several months now, and was about to welcome his first New Year.
In his previous life, he had no one to accompany him during the New Year in the interstellar era, as it was difficult for him to encounter people of Earth in the universe. The customs of Earth gradually faded away as people from Earth started to adapt to the habits of other races in the universe during the Great Migration era.
Moreover, even if he encountered someone, they might not necessarily be Hua Xia people.
Aside from the Hua Xia people on Earth, no one else would celebrate the New Year. In the end, Lin Zhen almost forgot that there was such a festival.
“I’ll skip this New Year, and strive to spend every New Year with my family once everything is more stable.”
After lying down and resting for a while, Lin Zhen stood up and went to the edge of the pool.
He bent down, scooped up some water with his hand, feeling its coolness, but it was nothing for a martial artist.
“To cultivate the Long River Spear Skill, one must first grasp the essence of river water. Look at this water flow, which keeps surging and raging here for a long time. As soon as one wave passes, the next one immediately arrives. If this continuous wave-like power is utilized in actual combat, the enemy will undoubtedly struggle to defend.”
‘Whoever grasps this essence will be the king of endurance battles. Once the offensive is launched, no matter who the opponent is, they will eventually be crushed by the endless onslaught. This is the power of the Long River!” “First, let me feel the power of the river’s waves!”
Lin Zhen quickly undressed to only his shorts, holding a bright silver spear in hand, and jumped into the raging river!
