Yan Huang knew that if he hated Lin Zhen the most in this world, then Shu Mingxuan would likely rank at least second.
After all, Lin Zhen had killed Huo Luofu, hitting Shu Mingxuan’s face.
But he didn’t know that Huo Luofu was actually Shu Mingxuan’s avatar, which was equivalent to Lin Zhen killing Shu Mingxuan once.
He thought that he would be able to dominate Earth, but Lin Zhen snapped his carefully planned avatar. Shu Mingxuan hated Lin Zhen to the bone.
In Shu Mingxuan’s opinion, he was the one who hated Lin Zhen the most.
So during Gods Clan’s eastward expedition, Shu Mingxuan was never idle.
He used the search radar on Red Rose to track Lin Zhen’s whereabouts constantly.
Finding Lin Zhen was not easy; the radar needed energy blocks, and there were not many left on Red Rose. Once these reserves were used up, there would be a problem communicating with Xin Ou and others, but Shu Mingxuan did not care in his quest to find Lin Zhen.
Shu Mingxuan first decrypted the satellite data on Earth, looking for Lin Zhen’s location based on satellite images.
He locked onto a white aircraft, which Lin Zhen had been driving when he left, and tracked it using satellite images. Eventually, he found that the aircraft had gone to Langfang City in Capital Base City.
But there was no information about Lin Zhen on the internet, so Shu Mingxuan was certain that Lin Zhen had used a pseudonym.
Utilizing the technological advantage of extraterrestrial civilization, he found the transaction record of Lin Zhen’s account and finally determined that Lin Zhen had used a name called Chen Fan.
In searching for this Chen Fan, Shu Mingxuan finally found the hotel where Lin Zhen stayed, the gym where Lin Zhen trained, and the virtual room Lin Zhen went to.
After obtaining this information, Shu Mingxuan immediately contacted Yan Huang.
He had hoped that Yan Huang could send someone to capture Lin Zhen, but after the connection, Yan Huang shook his head.
“Divine’s Envoy Shu Mingxuan, this matter might not be easy to handle for now. Although I also want to deal with Lin Zhen, as you can see, the battle here is about to enter a critical moment. I believe that tomorrow we will be able to capture all the Hua Xia Martial Artists. At this time, it is best not to cause additional problems. If we divert our forces to deal with Lin Zhen, it may affect the battle.”
In Yan Huang’s opinion, as long as Hua Xia’s resistance was wiped out, Lin Zhen would inevitably be captured in the future. He could still distinguish between priorities.
Shu Mingxuan shook his head, “Yan Huang, we both know the danger that Lin Zhen poses. If he suddenly intervenes during the critical moment of the battle, it may cause changes. According to what I know, Lin Zhen is currently in the virtual room in Langfang City, and it is very likely that he has found a way to recover his Dantian Qi. I think we should get rid of him as soon as possible.”
Upon hearing Shu Mingxuan’s words, Yan Huang hesitated: “But what about the battle here…?”
He looked around. Dealing with Lin Zhen was not an easy task, and he had no absolute confidence in doing so himself. Moreover, if he went, Baggio couldn’t go either.
But if Baggio was removed, the command of the ascetic monks would be problematic, as only Baggio could execute the most powerful fusion techniques.
Baggio absolutely couldn’t be moved, and Yan Huang had no assurance himself, so he was in a difficult position.
At this moment, Baggio suddenly glanced at Shu Mingxuan and said: “Divine’s Envoy, why don’t you take action yourself? Lin Zhen would have no chance of escape then.”
Upon hearing Baggio’s words, Shu Mingxuan fell into deep thought.
For safety’s sake, he had stayed in the Ancient God City for thousands of years without ever leaving. With the fourth-level mutated beast blocking, no one could get close to his captain’s room.
But if he left the Ancient God City, it might not be so safe.
However, Lin Zhen had to be eliminated, and without killing him, Shu Mingxuan could not be at peace. After much consideration and thinking about Xin Ou and Tu Ya’s imminent arrival, at which point he would no longer hold the initiative, Shu Mingxuan finally made up his mind.
“Alright! I’ll make this trip, and no matter what, I’ll get rid of Lin Zhen to resolve your worries.”
Yan Huang and Baggio both agreed, and Shu Mingxuan closed the Water Mirror Space.
After tidying up his belongings, Shu Mingxuan looked around his captain’s room.
Red Rose, he had been here for a thousand years, and it was finally time to leave.
Although Lin Zhen was not easy to deal with, Shu Mingxuan was confident he could handle him, as he had reached Comet Level 1.
Comet Level was roughly equivalent to the strength of a Heavenly Star List expert in this world. There should be no problem dealing with Lin Zhen.
Opening his storage container, Shu Mingxuan took out his long-unused Holy Artifact Platinum Sword and a set of High-Grade Holy Artifact armor.
“I haven’t fought in over a thousand years. I should really be more active.”
As he left the captain’s room, Shu Mingxuan suddenly felt a sense of reluctance to leave.
“Am I getting old? How can I feel so reluctant to leave? Won’t I be back after dealing with Lin Zhen?”
Through the secret passage out of the Ancient God City, Shu Mingxuan took out his aircraft from his Space Ring.
His aircraft was not like the ones on Earth but was a building-shaped aircraft.
This aircraft was shaped like a small house, which was also the style of the Tianhe Empire. The streamlined design of the aircraft was originally to reduce air resistance, but the Empire’s aircraft were primarily used for flying in space, and with energy shields to reduce resistance, so the aircraft were designed in the shape of buildings, making them more comfortable and home-like.
Many people within the Empire had their aircraft as homes, landing as a house and taking off as a spaceship.
This small house was Shu Mingxuan’s small home, with performance far beyond any aircraft on Earth. Although it did not have sufficient energy blocks to support interstellar travel, flying a few laps around Earth was not a problem.
Opening the door of the small house, Shu Mingxuan walked in and sat on the living room sofa, turning on the ignition, and the aircraft took off.
“Let’s go, let me meet the genius of Earth’s indigenous people. I hope he doesn’t act too cowardly.”
The small house rose into the sky and a layer of energy shield appeared on the chimney, wrapping up the spaceship as it broke through the air and headed straight towards Hua Xia Capital City.
“Phew!”
Lin Zhen swung the rope gun in his hand, penetrating the wood half a foot deep!
“Finally, the Unyielding Martial Intent!”
Lin Zhen held the rope gun with excitement in his heart. After learning this unyielding combat technique, his spear’s lethality definitely increased by more than double.
“Now my control over the Unyielding Martial Intent has become proficient and is suitable for real combat, but I still feel it is not enough.”
Lin Zhen thought about what Zhang Ye had told him. Piercing a wooden board with the rope gun in a twisted, soaked state was just the entry level, while piercing a wooden board under normal conditions was considered the small proficiency realm.
Piercing a steel plate under normal conditions marked the great proficiency realm.
After Lin Zhen left the virtual space, he took out his phone to check the internet.
He had been in the virtual space for several days and didn’t know if the battle had started in the northwest. If there are no big problems, he still wanted to continue his training.
Upon checking, he discovered that the war hadn’t started in the northwest yet.
Currently, only the news about various Martial Artists participating in the war was being reported, and indeed, many experts have joined the fight.
Since the war hadn’t started, Lin Zhen was no longer in a hurry to go there. He estimated that even if the Gods Clan took action, it wouldn’t take just a day or two to get a result, so he still had some time.
Turning off his phone, Lin Zhen decided to undergo another special training session.
Of course, it would be extremely difficult to practice the Unyielding Martial Intent to a small proficiency realm in a short time, so he had to take unconventional measures.
If he couldn’t do it under normal conditions, he could use the gravity room.
As a training area for Martial Artists, there were not only virtual spaces but also gravity rooms for their use.
The gravity room is an enclosed space where gravity can be adjusted from two times to ten times, or even hundreds of times.
This environment can help train Martial Artists to build strong physiques and is a new technology that has only emerged this year.
Gravity training methods are very popular in the interstellar space, and Earth is just beginning to adopt it.
Lin Zhen stayed outside for a while, his Dark Star Power was still sealed off. He couldn’t use Dantian Qi or Star Power in the gravity room because they would counteract gravity and fail to achieve the intended training effect.
When he arrived at the gravity room, there was a staff member outside who was a Level 3 War General.
“Mr. Chen Fan, would you like to try the gravity room?”
Lin Zhen nodded and looked at the console there.
The gravity was controlled by the console, with a minimum of two times gravity and a maximum of one hundred times.
Lin Zhen had experienced it in his previous life and estimated that his current limit, if he didn’t use Star Power and Dantian Qi and relied solely on physical strength, was probably fifty times gravity.
If subjected to a hundred times gravity, it might crush him to death.
“Set the gravity time for me. I don’t need five times gravity. Start with ten times gravity and add one fold every half hour.”
“How long do you want to set the time for?” asked the staff member.
“One day, twenty-four hours should be enough.”
“Alright, let me do the calculations. Starting from 10 times gravity, adding once every half hour, for 24 hours, that’s 48 times gravity—a total of 58 times gravity.”
“Just go up to fifty times then. Don’t increase it beyond that.”
“Alright, I’ll do as you requested. There’s a red button in the gravity room. When you feel unable to bear it, you can press the button, and I’ll open the gravity room from here to let you out. Don’t put yourself in danger.”
The staff member said, setting the time for the gravity adjustment—a total of 24 hours, with a maximum of 50 times gravity and an increase of one fold every half hour.
After setting it up, Lin Zhen paid the fee. The charge for the gravity room was very expensive; just 24 hours cost more than 30 million.
The door of the gravity room opened, and Lin Zhen walked in.
The door closed, and the gravity space inside was formed.
The surrounding area was made of dark alloy walls. Since many Star Realm Experts used the gravity room for training, the strength of these alloy walls was enough to withstand the bombardment of a Comet Stage expert without easily shattering.
Lin Zhen took out a pile of wooden boards from the Space Ring. These were specially prepared for his training. Although his Dark Star Power was still sealed, his Space Ring had already opened.
Having prepared all this, Lin Zhen took out the rope gun and pressed the white button to indicate he was ready to begin.
Ten times gravity suddenly pressed down on Lin Zhen, making him feel as if a large stone had been placed on his body!
