The video call connected and it was Su Mingyue who first appeared, only saying one sentence to Lin Zhen: âLin Zhen, my Master wants to speak with you.â
Afterward, Gongsun Du appeared in the video, wearing a starry robe, looking at Lin Zhen with a dignified air.
âLin Zhen, do you realize the severity of the mistake youâve made this time?â
Lin Zhen still respected Gongsun Du, who after all was Yueâerâs master. He smiled and said: âSenior Gongsun, if you are saying that it was a mistake for me to offend some Star Realm experts, I donât think itâs that big of a mistake.â
âHumph! Donât think that just because you won the championship of the War Godâs Knockout, you can underestimate the Star Realm! Even with your current strength being at the bottom of the Star Realm, I think youâre not even as strong as Huo Luofu.â
Lin Zhen nodded his head, since it was something he was worried about. Huo Luofu was indeed a troublesome person, he was already in the Star Realm and followed a path of an Innate Power King, which was quite extreme. He had an incredible power, but his speed was slow. The victory in the War Godâs Knockout had a large accidental component. If he could familiarize himself with the Star Realmâs power and seek revenge again, Lin Zhen would have a hard time coping.
Seeing Lin Zhen agree with his words, Gongsun Duâs face slightly softened: âI was not intending to meddle in your affairs, but Yueâer kept worrying about you, so I had no choice but to teach you a lesson now.â
âThank you Senior Gongsun.â
âDo you know how many Star Realm experts are on Earth at present?â Gongsun Du asked.
Lin Zhen shook his head slightly, he didnât know.
Although Lin Zhen was reborn, at this time in his previous life, he was just a
small War General at Gale Martial Arts Hall, and he didnât even reach the War God level. He advanced to the Star Realm after humanity had migrated to the stars, when the Star Realm no longer held much value. Thatâs why, in his previous life, ordinary War Gods were figures he looked up to, let alone Star Realm experts. His knowledge of Earthâs Star Realm experts came only from some legends he had heard. He felt that there should be quite a few, but he didnât know the exact number.
âWell, I will tell you. According to my knowledge, there are about one thousand Star Realm experts on Earth.â
âThat many?â Lin Zhen was stunned; he thought there were only about 180.
âOf course, I am already more than sixty years old this year and am in the Star Realm. Chen Fenglie is a few years older than me, in his early seventies, and has been running the Gale Martial Arts Hall for forty years, and heâs also in the Star Realm. But do you know how many years have passed since the God
Transformation Calendar and people started cultivation?â
Lin Zhen pondered a moment, Gongsun Du made sense. There would always be new talents emerging, and geniuses would never be in short supply. The Cultivation System had been perfected for more than 800 years. It should be reasonable that at this point, there would be 800 or even more people at the
Star Realm level
Moreover, one year is too long. Especially in the later stages, the faster the cultivation speed, the more likely it is that ten people could reach the Star Realm in just one year. For example, Lin Zhen, Su Mingyue, and An Ning might advance within one or two years.
Even if some people fall along the way, the number of Star Realm experts should be above a thousand.
Keep in mind that once a martial artist forms a Star Core, his lifespan will increase dramatically. It is quite normal for a Star Core Period expert to live for five or six hundred years under normal circumstances, and there are even many examples of people who lived for a thousand years.
Seeing Lin Zhenâs shocked expression, Gongsun Du continued: âTherefore, you must not think that you are invincible at your current level of strength. Even Huo Luofu, his current strength in the world of Star Realm warriors doesnât even qualify him to enter the Meteor Star List.â
Lin Zhen had heard a little about this; there were several rankings for the Star Realm experts on Earth, but he didnât know the details.
âYou havenât heard of it, right? Iâll tell you. There are 18 Heavenly Star List experts, 36 Dark Star List experts, and 72 Meteor Star List experts. Besides a few old-style cultivators, almost all the Star Realm experts are listed. Most Star Realm experts do not even qualify for the list. I dare say that any of the
Meteor Star List experts could easily kill Huo Luofu and Old John in a second. Do you think your current strength is competitive in the Star Realm?â
Lin Zhen shook his head, he knew very well about this. Although he was titled as the number one below the Star Realm, he was nothing compared to those who had truly been in the Star Realm for many years.
âThatâs why youâve caused a great deal of trouble this time. Iâve heard that several reclusive Star Realm experts in Ice City are displeased with what you have done, including Allen, who is ranked on the Meteor Star List. For them, the concepts of nation and ethnicity have become relatively insignificant, as they pursue the Martial Way. They wonât care about your contributions to the country or ethnicity; if you affect them, they might take action. Donât you plan to explore ancient God Relics in the future? If you go there and encounter these people, you might be in danger.â
At this point, Su Mingyue spoke: âMaster, please help Lin Zhen.â
âYou girl, your elbow always bends outward, but am I not helping him already? By making him aware of the dangers in the Star Realm world early on, it can help him grow faster.â
âThank you for the reminder, Senior Gongsun, I will keep it in mind.â
âHmm, as long as you understand. I can see that you, lad, are cultivating quickly enough, and you might even advance to the Star Realm in one or two years. If you can really advance, then you might not be afraid of ordinary Star Realm experts anymore. But be careful before that, because you now have more enemies than just Huo Luofu. I have heard that there is a business group called Wan Hao in Ice City, and the relocation has demolished the headquarters of Wan Hao. The people behind this group might come after you now, and they are also in the Star Realm.â
âWan Hao Group!â
Lin Zhen was taken aback. He knew about the Wan Hao Group, of course. The Wan Hao Group belonged to Li Tianhaoâs family, with Li Wanfeng being the chairman. He was now a Level Nine War God, and his wife, Zhao Siqing, was also a Level Nine War God. They once tried to harm Lin Zhen.
Lin Zhen wouldnt care if it was just the couple, but now that Gongsun Du told him there was a Star Realm expert behind the Wan Hao Group, it became dangerous.
âThatâs right, you and the Wan Hao Group had some grudges before, this time they definitely wonât tolerate you. Whatâs the name of the chairman?â
âHis name is Li Wanfeng,â Lin Zhen said.
âRight, itâs Li Wanfeng. The group was inherited from his father, whose name was Li Yao. That man had a terrible character and a bad reputation in the Star Realm circle. At the time you killed Li Tianhao, he was exploring an ancient god ruins site and did not have time to deal with you. Later on when he exited, you had already gone to the God Generals Training Camp, and he didnât have a chance to make a move. This time for the War Godâs Knockout, you appeared, and he also came out from an ancient god ruins site a few days ago. I heard it from a friend that after seeing the live broadcast, he wants to kill you now. This man is extremely vengeful, so you must be careful. If you die, Yueâer will get married to someone else.â
âMaster, donât talk nonsense! I wonât marry anyone elseâ¦!â
âYou little troublemaker, Iâm just warning himâ¦!â
After hanging up the phone, Lin Zhen held it tightly in his hand, feeling a sense of alertness in his heart.
Gongsun Duâs call came at the right time, making the slightly complacent Lin Zhen calm down.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Zhen had spent a long time preparing to prevent Ice City from being invaded. As long as the city wall was built, he wouldnât even need to be here.
After thinking it over, Lin Zhen decided to leave home immediately. However, he was worried about his family. Generally speaking, martial artists seeking revenge would be true to their word and wouldnât harm the family, but since Gongsun Du said that Li Yao had a poor character, his familyâs safety was also within Lin Zhenâs consideration.
Lin Zhen called Yang Jianying and told her about the situation. She contemplated for a moment and said, âI know about Li Yao. He hasnât been a good person even before advancing to the Star Realm. You might as well have your parents come to live in the martial hall. The training environment here is better. Although Blue Sky isnât a top-tier martial hall in Ice City, it has some reputation nationwide. The founder of Blue Sky, Mr. Du Changkong, has been a Star Realm expert for years. Though not as strong as Chen Fenglie, the gap isnât too large. Even if Li Yao had the courage, he wouldnât dare to mess around in the martial hall.â
âAlright, Iâll bring my parents over immediately.â
There wasnât much to pack from home; now his parents were mainly cultivating and didnât need any unnecessary items. Lin Zhen brought his parents and two assistants to the flying saucer, explained the situation along the way, and soon arrived at Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall.
Lin Liye and Li Qin also told Lin Zhen not to worry. They would stay here and focus on cultivation; there would be no difference from cultivating at other places.
After giving his parents some warnings about what to be aware of, Lin Zhen left the martial arts hall.
He had to leave; he couldnât hide in the martial arts hall forever. Sooner or later, he had to venture out into the world. If Li Yao really came, Lin Zhen believed that even if he couldnât beat him temporarily, fleeing wouldnât be a problem.
After leaving the martial arts hall, Lin Zhen didnât go straight to the Five Connected Pools, but instead, went to the market near the martial hall to buy some food he could use when exploring outside. Just in this short time, he noticed that several points of light had appeared on the compass he carried.
There were usually several colors on the compass, including yellow, green, black, red, and purple.
Yellow meant no threat, like Warriors, War Generals, or ordinary War Gods, who posed no threat to Lin Zhen, and they would be represented as yellow on the compass.
Green meant mild threat, such as Elite War Gods or those approaching the Star Realm, like Yueâer and An Ning, who could pose a mild threat to Lin Zhen.
Black signified a deadly threat, meaning the person had a great chance of killing Lin Zhen. Black undoubtedly represented Star Realm experts.
Red meant extreme threat, which was almost irresistible.
As for purple, Lin Zhen had heard about it when he was in the interstellar space; it definitely represented beings from another plane of existence.
There were three points of light on it: two green and one black. It was undoubtedly Li Wanfengâs couple and Li Yao.
âQuite a sensitive nose, finding me so quickly.â
Lin Zhen casually threw a large note at the stall owner, then put the purchased items into his Space Ring. He lowered his head, walked a few steps quickly, and with the help of the crowd, put on the metal mask and took off his outerwear.
Just as he finished disguising himself, Li Wanfeng and his wife walked over with a martial artist who looked to be in his sixties..
