Chapter 842: Chapter 845: Fireworks in the Night Sky_1
San Hu was the type to do as he pleased. According to the rules of Tianfang City Lord, as a Four Stars Warrior, he had the right to directly participate in the Storm Eye. However, he gave up this opportunity.
In his opinion, even if he participated in the gladiator fights, he would still stand out and be promoted easily.
More importantly, it gave him the opportunity to target Lin Zhen on the virtual battlefield, resulting in Lin Zhen’s elimination, forever unable to escape the control of the ring.
Upon this thought, San Hu decisively gave up the opportunity to register directly and decided to become a gladiator instead.
When he registered to become a gladiator, San Hu found it somewhat ridiculous.
Indeed, Lin Zhen was an exceptional Saint-Level Alchemist, but in terms of power, he was merely at the mid-to-bottom range of the Divine Transformation. San Hu felt that he was using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, it was overkill.
“Oh, well! Consider it a game to challenge myself. Lin Zhen, consider it an honor to be regarded so highly by me!”

The news of the Storm Eye’s God’s Stone Battlefield spread quickly around Tianfang City.
The initially scheduled fist fights were all canceled. All the gladiators began to prepare for battles in the virtual world.
The battles in the virtual world were slated to take place three days later, and out of several hundred thousand gladiators in Tianfang City, only ten thousand could proceed to the Storm Eye.
********
At the headquarters of the San Xia Association, a Martial Artist, covered in flames, stepped out of a hidden doorway.
Below him, tens of thousands of Martial Artists, who were at least at the Three Flowers Realm, had gathered.
“Greetings, Chairman San!”
The San Xia Association was established by three Demigod Strong Ones. It was the second biggest power in Tianfang City, ranking even above the White Tiger Hall.
The chairman, self-proclaimed as Corpse Burner.
“The opening of the Storm Eye this time is our opportunity in the San Xia Association. As I understand, the Divine Stone can ultimately be exchanged for many rewards, among which one of the most important ones is the Divine Inheritance Crystal!”
People below instantly let out surprised exclamations. The Inheritance Crystals could contain a God’s lifetime knowledge in one or several crystal balls. Whoever got these crystal balls would learn the skills of this God when they were alive.
“We can’t determine yet how many Inheritance Crystals there are. But I demand that the San Xia Association must get at least one crystal ball this time! That’s the top priority! So, cooperate sincerely to achieve this goal. In this way, we will surely suppress both the White Tiger Hall and the Speed Dragon Cavalry in future disputes in Tianfang City. Understood?”
“Understood!”
*********
In a metallic canyon, a Dragon Knight clad in Golden Armor, riding on a Golden Dragon, soared in the sky.
In front of him, tens of thousands of Dragon Knights gathered, their melodious dragon chants under the sunlight formed a majestic scene.
The Speed Dragon Cavalry was the mightiest force in Tianfang City. It was rumored that their leader had almost reached the Realm of God, but nobody knew the truth. They usually saw the Deputy Leader in charge of their operations.
“Our goal is only one, to get the Divine Inheritance Crystals! We need not only to beat the White Tiger Hall and the San Xia Association but also to fight the warriors from the Endless Species and display the might of the Speed Dragon Cavalry!”
********
White Tiger Hall was also doing its pre-battle mobilization, but none of the guilds tried to mobilize the gladiators. Any attempt would be in vain because gladiators were not members of their guilds and wouldn’t listen to them.
Compared with members of the three big guilds and those from the City Lord’s Mansion, many more individual Martial Artists signed up.
The situation at the Storm Eye, although not serious enough to attract everyone from the Endless Battlefield, still managed to attract over a billion people from Tianfang City and several nearby cities. Meanwhile, the number of warriors from the Endless Species who signed up was even greater than that of the Ground Clan!
The Storm Eye offers not only rewards but also a chance to elevate a Martial Artist’s star rating. It was a battlefield for life and death!
The situation at the Storm Eye has caught the attention of all parties. Anyone who achieves great success here will surely become famous throughout the Endless Battlefield.
*********
Many things can’t be kept secret. The battle of the Storm Eye hadn’t even started yet, but news about it was spreading everywhere in Tianfang City.
Some warriors who had participated in the first or second Storm Eye started to stand up and share their experiences inside the Storm Eye.
Some talked about their experiences in the Storm Eye, some showed off what they obtained from the Storm Eye, and others boasted about their outstanding fighting achievements…
These actions, aiming to attract attention deliberately or not, stirred up the atmosphere of the Storm Eye to an extreme degree, making it a hot topic for people across the Endless Battlefield.
*********
At the top of the tall tower of White Tiger Hall, one could overlook the scenery within a hundred miles.
Lin Zhen and Bai SuSu were sitting cross-legged at the highest point of the tower, about a kilometer above the ground.
The two were chatting while also adjusting their breathing, preparing for the upcoming crucial breakthrough.
All the preparations are complete to maximize the effect of the breakthrough.
Even though Lin Zhen has mastered the Luo Heavenly Escape, it does not mean that he can go anywhere he wishes. To travel within the space rift, precise space coordinates are needed, particularly for long-distance travel.
Space coordinates are extremely rare and not available for sale in the Original World. Lin Zhen is unsure if they are available in the Endless Battlefield, even if they are, he certainly cannot afford them now.
Thus, Lin Zhen can only teleport over short distances, taking Bai Susu into his internal world, then slightly moving upwards before coming out. He intended to arrive at the top of the building, but unexpectedly ended up travelling several kilometers away, a significant deviation.
So without precise space coordinates, Lin Zhen doesn’t plan to venture into long-distance teleportation as he cannot predict where he might end up, which could potentially lead to embarrassing situations, such as inadvertently landing in a newlywed couple’s bed.
If he inadvertently pushed the husband out of the bed, what would people think of him?
Between the two of them, they had a small table suspended in thin air, transformed from Lin Zhen’s Light Annihilation.
Simple food, fruits, and beverages lay on the table. Bai Susu held a little exquisite wine pot in her hand, occasionally picking up a grape, placing it between her red lips, gently nibbling, then swigging from Lin Zhen’s fine wine. The whole scene was breathtakingly beautiful.
Lin Zhen, on the other hand, held a bottle of strong liquor, eating some meat every so often, or his personal favourite snack – peanuts.
After spending some days together, the pair could converse quite naturally.
“Lin Zhen, do you know? When I was at Qingqiu Mountain, behaving like this wouldn’t have been tolerated. Being an exalted emperor’s concubine is rather exhausting. Occasionally, late at night, I would secretly have a sip of wine. It had to remain a secret, especially from my elder sister – it would be a catastrophe if she discovered it.”
“You have an older sister?”
“Yes, my sister’s name is Bai Xue, she is three thousand years older than me. My sister is very beautiful. Actually, she was eligible to be the emperor’s concubine too, but later on, the title fell upon me.”
“So it seems you outdid your sister.”
“I don’t see it that way. My sister’s personality is more gentle than mine. Throughout my life, she has taken great care of me”
After taking a sip of his drink, Lin Zhen asked, “Then how did you find yourself in this predicament?”
This was something Lin Zhen was curious about as well. How did an emperor’s concubine end up being captured by a pet trader?
“This was probably just an accident. I was leading a patrol when we were attacked by a group of masked men. All those protecting me were killed, and I managed to escape despite being severely injured. I ended up in the Heavenly Ridge, unable to use my Dimensional Universe communication function. Later, I was captured by a pet trader. I suppose I was lucky in a twisted way; I could have been devoured by some wild beast in the Heavenly Ridge without anyone knowing.” Bai Susu responded, a touch of self-mockery in her tone.
Lin Zhen was perplexed and felt instinctively that there was more to the situation than meets the eye.
An emperor’s concubine being attacked during her patrol was definitely not coincidental and probably had some mastermind orchestrating things behind the scenes.
He was wary but had no solid evidence, so he didn’t share his suspicions with Bai Susu.
“Everything will be fine after today. I’ve recovered my Divine Transformation, and the Dimensional Universe within me will also be fully repaired. Then I can contact my sister, and she will definitely send someone to take me back to Endless Star Sea.”
With a look of longing, Bai Susu seemed filled with anticipation.
“You heartless little creature, don’t you feel nostalgic about the care I’ve shown you during this time?”
Bai Susu responded with a slight pout: “We are merely partners. After all, I belong to the Endless Star Sea, not your actual pet.”
Lin Zhen remained silent. If Xiaogua wanted to leave, he had no reason to stop her.
Although Lin Zhen wished Xiaogua would stay a little longer, since her method of detoxification during her dreams was unique, her identity was not to be ignored. If the Emperor’s concubine wasn’t found, the Endless Species would not give up.
Bai Susu glanced at Lin Zhen, her eyes revealing subtle emotional fluctuations.
“Lin Zhen, when you let those thousand four Original World Emperors escape, it placed the Endless Species in a passive position. You’re an enemy to the Endless Species. By rights, now that I’ve recovered some of my strength, I should seek revenge against you. But you saved me, so… when I leave, I won’t reveal anything about you. Let’s consider our time together as nothing more than a dream.”
Lin Zhen looked deeply into Xiaogua’s eyes. At this moment, he felt her emotions were a bit low.
“Bang!”
High above in the distant sky, a firework exploded. A burst of vibrant hues left a ripple in the sky.
“I can’t believe people set off fireworks here. I feel like it’s been forever since I last saw fireworks,” says Lin Zhen, nostalgia in his voice. While he was on Earth, fireworks would be set off during the New Year celebrations. But it had been so many years since he last saw them.
As Lin Zhen reflected, Bai Susu suddenly exclaimed with joy, “Ah! Those are our signals! Someone is looking for me!”
Subsequently, an overjoyed Bai Susu stood up.
“Lin Zhen, someone has come for me. I can finally return home. Are you happy for me?”
Lin Zhen was stunned, “They found you that quickly?”
“Yes, they have. I need to go see, maybe it’s my sister.”
Just after Bai Susu finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but Lin Zhen said, “You’re not in that much of a rush, are you? Breakthrough first. Xiaogua, since you’re leaving, let me give you one last piece of advice: It never hurts to be more cautious.”
