Chapter 506 - 507: Heaven Stele Comprehension, Lin Zhen’s Decision (Third Update)

Looking at the starry sky outside, Lin Zhen stood up and stretched his waist: “Finally, it’s almost there. In a little while, we’ll arrive at the Suspended Island. Little baby, just follow me later, where I go, you go.”

“Chirp~!”

The Little Phoenix chirped a few times, then gently flapped its wings at the door of the spaceship.

”

What’s wrong? Feeling bored and want to go out for a look?”

Little Phoenix nodded its head. Lin Zhen thought it was, after all, a Galaxy Beast, and it was not easy for it to have such patience to accompany him for so long, so it was no harm to go out and take a look.

Opening the door of the cabin, Lin Zhen accompanied the Little Phoenix out of the spaceship.

After leaving the spaceship, Little Phoenix flapped its wings, circled in the void, and let out a crisp and pleasant chirp.

Lin Zhen said to it, “Don’t fly too far away, we’re going to the Suspended Island soon.”

Little Phoenix flew back into Lin Zhen’s arms and rubbed its fluffy little head a few times in his embrace.

Lin Zhen enjoyed the rare affection of the Little Phoenix and laughed, “Why are you so well behaved today? Is there something you want to eat again?”

His fingers gently brushed the feathers of the Little Phoenix. The healing effect during this time was excellent. Little Phoenix’s injury had completely healed, and its feathers were bright and colorful. Lin Zhen thought that if there were a contest for the most beautiful bird in the world, his Little Phoenix would surely win.

“Pa-da~!”

A bright red bead slipped from the Little Phoenix’s eyes and fell into Lin Zhen’s palm.

“What is this?”

Lin Zhen was startled, picking up the bead to examine it. It was blood-red, like a red gemstone, but in the shape of a water droplet.

The Little Phoenix broke free from Lin Zhen’s embrace, flapped its wings and circled in the air.

Suddenly, Lin Zhen had a bad feeling.

After circling a few times, the Little Phoenix let out a series of melodious chirps, as if saying goodbye to Lin Zhen.

“Little Phoenix, where are you going?” Lin Zhen became worried.

After several consecutive chirps, Little Phoenix looked at Lin Zhen in the air.

At that glance, the Little Phoenix seemed to have changed.

No longer the well-behaved little bird from just now, but the divine bird that looked down on everything with an air of superiority.

Unforgettable charm and elegance!

“Chirp~~!!”

With a long chirp, the Little Phoenix flapped its wings and turned into a stream of fiery-red light, rushing toward the depths of the starry sky.

The speed was so fast that Lin Zhen had never seen anything like it before; it was even much faster than the spaceship. It quickly disappeared from Lin Zhen’s sight.

Clutching the teardrop-shaped red gemstone in his hand, Lin Zhen felt a wave of loss.

It’s not ordinary after all and couldn’t stay with humans for a long time. As a top-tier super galaxy beast among the galaxy beasts, the vast starry sky was its natural home.

However, after spending so much time together, Lin Zhen and the Little Phoenix had developed feelings for each other. Its sudden departure made Lin Zhen very uncomfortable.

Looking in the direction where the Little Phoenix had left, Lin Zhen took a deep breath.

“My heart is still unsettled. It feels like I’ve lost a family member. This is not good and is taboo for Martial Artists.”

With his strong willpower, Lin Zhen suppressed the uncomfortable feeling.

“Little Phoenix, if fate allows, we’ll see each other again someday. May you be well and happy.”

Returning to the spaceship, Lin Zhen quickly calmed down. Since the starry sky was its home, giving it freedom was undoubtedly the best choice.

“Set out and go at full speed to the Suspended Island!”

The spaceship accelerated and quickly rushed towards the slowly moving asteroid belt in front of it.

In front of the Spiritual Power Heaven Stele on Suspended Island.

The Scorpion Commander from the Insect Clan stood up, leaped up, and jumped onto a higher stone pillar in the second row.

He was not the first person to successfully pass the first row of stone pillars. During this time, dozens of people had already completed the examination of the first stone pillar and successfully advanced.

Even Ye Hua of the Fire Kirin, Mantis Commander of the Insect Clan, Lanka of Landis, and Jin Naluo of the Rakshasas had already moved on to the third stone pillar.

A Martial Artist from the Landis Empire, with red eyes, stared at the row of abstract writing.

“I can’t do it! I can’t understand the meaning of these words at all, and I even feel the spiritual pressure coming from them, making it almost hard to breathe!”

“Am I going to be eliminated? This is impossible! I don’t believe it! In our Star System, I am the top young expert. How could I not be able to comprehend the content of the first stone pillar?”

His heart was very anxious, as there were not many people left by his side who were still comprehending.

As others gradually advanced, he felt a considerable impact on his morale, and under anxiety, he could no longer understand some of the inscriptions he had some grasp on.

“I can’t believe it! I can’t believe I failed!”

This Martial Artist was in a daze, a pressure descended from the sky, knocking him directly from the stone pillar!

The number one talent in a Star System actually failed to comprehend the inscriptions on the first stone pillar and fell out of the competition with regret.

Having fallen from the stone pillar, he left in a soulless and lost state, unable to accept such a cruel reality.

But he couldn’t change anything; it’s survival of the fittest in the world of Martial Artists.

There were not only losers, but about ten percent of the nearly three hundred people who climbed the stone pillars had been eliminated at the first level.

Among them were two Martial Artists from the Fire Kirin Empire, one was Lan Yuer, a member of Feng Qingluan’s Qing Luan Society.

The other one was named Duanmu, a staunch admirer of Ye Hua.

After their failure, they didn’t leave immediately but stayed on Suspended Island to observe the comprehension of others.

“Lan Yuer, who are you more in favor of in this Suspended Island’s Heaven Stele comprehension, and the champion competition in the concentration camp?” Duanmu asked.

“If our boss were here, I think she could be the champion. Her talent is unparalleled, and she would definitely not be troubled by comprehending the Heaven Stele.”

“You mean Feng Qingluan? Even if she were here, she might not be as good as Ye Hua, who is the first to climb the third row of Heaven Steles.”

“Hmph! So what? In my heart, our boss is the strongest. It’s just that she seems to have been secretly plotted against and had to leave due to injuries. I wish she could come back now.”

Duanmu nodded, “You don’t have to think too much about it. I’m not denying the strength of your boss. She is indeed the only person in the empire who can be on par with Ye Hua. Even Nan Lie is slightly inferior. But even if she comes back now, it’s useless. Ye Hua’s group is already formed, and I estimate they will reach the fourth level within a day or two. With such a huge lead, there’s no chance of catching up if their qualifications are similar.”

Lan Yuer remained silent, staring blankly, not knowing what she was thinking.

“Hey~! Someone’s coming. I can’t believe there’s someone coming at this time.”

Upon hearing Duanmu, Lan Yuer’s eyes lit up, “Could it be our boss has arrived?”

She turned her head and saw a person approaching quickly in the distance.

Wings spread behind him, flickering with thunder and light, he moved at an incredibly fast speed.

“It’s not our boss. It’s a man.”

As the person approached, Lan Yuer frowned slightly.

“It’s you! Lin Zhen!”

Lin Zhen recognized Lan Yuer as well. Wasn’t she the most domineering girl in Feng Qingluan’s gang back at the city gate?

Although he didn’t like her much, they were still in the same camp after all. Lin Zhen greeted her.

“Hello, Lan Yuer.”

“Hmph~! You’re calling my name, Lin Zhen? I’m surprised that someone like you had the courage to come to Suspended Island. Do you really think you have a chance with the Heaven Stele comprehension?”

“Don’t I even have the right to try?”

“Trying would be a waste of time, Lin Zhen. It’s a good thing we can’t fight on Suspended Island, or I’d tell you how Hong’er told me that you refused our boss’s trade offer. This matter isn’t over!”

Lin Zhen ignored her. Although Lan Yuer was also a Star System Level 1, she didn’t mean much in Lin Zhen’s eyes. If it were Feng Qingluan who said those words, Lin Zhen would need to consider it, but not her.

Slowly walking toward the Heaven Stele, Lin Zhen examined each one.

After examining them, it was difficult for Lin Zhen to decide for a moment.

It could be said that these three Heaven Steles were very useful for Lin Zhen, whether it was the Power of Time, Spatial Power, or Spiritual Power, all three were urgently needed and would definitely be used by him.

“I need to make a choice now. All of them are useful, but it’s impossible to comprehend all of them; there must be trade-offs.”

“As for Spiritual Power, I’ve hit a bottleneck, but I’m confident that I will break through one day. What’s more, my current Spiritual Power is sufficient, so trying to comprehend it now might be a bit of a waste of opportunity.”

“Between Time Law and Space Law, Time Law is undoubtedly more difficult to comprehend. I came here relatively late, so if I tried to comprehend the Static Tablet, I might run out of time, and if I failed to catch up, it would be wasted effort.”

“So the most suitable for me right now, and the one I hope to comprehend within a year, is the Boundary Tablet.”

Lin Zhen looked up and saw Ye Hua from the Fire Kirin Empire standing up, climbing from the third row of the stone pillars to the fourth.

“Wow! Ye Hua is so cool! He reached the fourth row of the stone pillars in less than a month. He’s the true genius!”

“There’s no hope, no hope. There’s no hope for the others. Each Heaven Stele has one person topping it, and there’s no doubt that Ye Hua will top the Boundary Tablet. I’m afraid the others are regretting it right now. Why would they choose to comprehend with Ye Hua? Isn’t that asking for trouble?”

The surrounding people were amazed, thinking that the champion for the Boundary Tablet had already emerged.

Lin Zhen took a deep breath, knowing that his choice also carried risks.

Others had already reached the fourth row, and his hopes of catching up were slim.

However, Lin Zhen never feared a challenge. Ye Hua was nothing more than a genius from the advanced civilization of Universe Country. If he couldn’t overcome this small obstacle, what peak could he talk about?

“Let’s make it here. Let’s see who’s the first!”

Under the astonished gaze of the crowd, this newcomer with only Seven-level Constant Star actually climbed up to the first row of pillars on the Boundary Tablet!
