Chapter 509: Chapter 510: Trying to Outdo Each Other

“Brother, don’t bother. You won’t be able to handle Feng Qingluan. She’s Ye Hua’s.”

Lin Zhen’s side, a Fire Kirin Martial Artist noticed Lin Zhen gazing at Feng Qingluan and couldn’t help but remind him.

This Martial Artist was named Zhang Ze. He was almost a hundred years old and was considered one of the oldest in the camp. His aptitude was not bad and although he wasn’t outstanding, he had already reached the fourth row of the Boundary Tablet.

“She’s related to Ye Hua?” Lin Zhen asked.

“Somewhat related. When she was injured, she was with Ye Hua. They encountered several Insect Clan commanders, and Ye Hua was injured as well, but she was hurt even more. I heard that Ye Hua once said that he had two pursuits in his life, one was the peak of the Martial Way and the other one was Feng Qingluan. Not many people know about this, but we do.”

Lin Zhen looked at Ye Hua, then at Feng Qingluan: “They’re a good match.”

“But Ye Hua has a long way to go. Feng Qingluan treats him as just a friend. If even Ye Hua can’t get her, who else can handle her?”

“Brother Zhang, don’t worry. I won’t have such unrealistic dreams.”

Lin Zhen had no other intention, but felt that Feng Qingluan seemed a little familiar, and that cinnabar mole seemed to have been seen somewhere before.

“Must be mistaken.”

Composing himself, Lin Zhen quickly shifted his attention back to the Heaven Stele.

Not long after, there was a commotion at the Spiritual Power Stele. It turned out that Feng Qingluan had actually moved up to the second row!

“That’s fast, even faster than when Lin Zhen comprehended the Boundary Tablet.”

“She only took half an hour, much faster than Landis’ Lanka. Although Lanka is now in the fifth row, Feng Qingluan might surpass him.”

“Fire Kirin Empire’s peerless pair, Ye Hua and Feng Qingluan, I feel like they make a good couple.”

Lin Zhen ignored everything else and focused on his own business.

Everyone else also entered the state of comprehension, and the intense competition began again.

Time flew by….

In the third month, Lin Zhen broke through the fourth row and reached the fifth row, catching up with Ye Hua’s back.

In the fourth month, Ye Hua broke through the sixth row and entered the seventh row, still leading Lin Zhen by two positions, but Lin Zhen won some time, and it was actually considered to be one and a half positions.

At the end of the fourth month, Lin Zhen made another breakthrough and entered the sixth row. At this time, only two Martial Artists were in the same row with him. Counting Ye Hua in front, the four made up the first group.

In the early days of the sixth month, Ye Hua made a breakthrough and entered the eighth row, while Lin Zhen followed and entered the seventh row. The two almost advanced at the same time.

He had initially lagged by two positions, but now it was reduced to one position.

Although people thought that with a one-position lead, Ye Hua should be able to attain first place in the Boundary Tablet, Lin Zhen’s impressive performance had undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on Ye Hua.

Ye Hua, who had always been the first, with exceptional talent, and had been the idol of the public, had started to show signs of panic under Lin Zhen’s rapid pursuit.

Ye Hua wiped sweat from his forehead and used up one cold stone after another.

Looking at the huge Boundary Tablet not far away, he silently encouraged himself in his heart: “Keep going! No one can defeat you. You have come this far, and this Tablet cannot stop you.”

When eight months had passed, Lin Zhen reached the eighth row, side by side with Ye Hua!

There were only three positions in the eighth row. At this point, there were no other people beside them. If someone managed to reach the top in this Heaven Stele comprehension, it would have to be one of the two.

Ye Hua had previously held some psychological advantage, but when Lin Zhen caught up with him, he lost it!

Lin Zhen started late, more than a month later, but managed to catch up. This showed that his qualifications and understanding of Space laws were likely superior to Ye Hua’s.

When a long-standing first place is surpassed, their mentality can change easily. Lin Zhen saw Ye Hua glanced at him. He didn’t say a word, but his eyes were no longer gentle, but filled with murderous intent!

In the beginning of the ninth month, Ye Hua took the lead and reached the ninth row, followed by Lin Zhen in the middle of the month, occupying the two positions on the ninth row.

Apart from the two of them, no one else was able to climb the ninth row.

Only in the Spiritual Power Stele were Landis Empire’s Lanka and Fire Kirin’s Feng Qingluan, who also reached the ninth row at the same time.

Feng Qingluan’s performance was even more dominant. She arrived later than Lin Zhen but with stronger momentum. When she reached the ninth row, she was even one minute faster than Lanka.

If there was a winner in the Spiritual Power Stele, it was clear that Feng Qingluan had a better chance.

As for the Time Stele, Rakshasa Empire’s Jin Naluo was still struggling on the eighth row and couldn’t move on to the ninth row. It seemed unlikely that he would be able to break through to the tenth row since the Time Stele was the most difficult with the fewest number of people who could pass it.

The Mantis Commander was also in the eighth row, with a similar progress to that of Jin Naluo.

Because it was the ninth row, Lin Zhen could clearly see the people on the other side and even hear each other’s conversations when looking at the other Heaven Stele from his side.

At the Spiritual Power Stele, Feng Qingluan and Lanka studied in two positions. Occasionally, they looked up and were able to see Lin Zhen and Ye Hua.

Ye Hua showed a forced smile when he saw Feng Qingluan looking at him: “Qing Luan, don’t worry about me. You know, I’ve been number one since I was a kid, and I want to do my best in everything. I’ve never lost. I take all these difficulties as tests to encourage me. So don’t worry, I will meet you at the tenth row.”

Feng Qingluan’s face was cold: “You don’t have to force yourself, just do your best.”

“Of course, I won’t force myself. How could I possibly force myself to compete with such people? Right, little brother?”

Ye Hua looked at Lin Zhen again, but Lin Zhen didn’t pay attention to him and occasionally looked at Feng Qingluan.

In Ye Hua’s view, those who dared to stare at Feng Qingluan like that would not have a good ending, he himself did not dare, and Lin Zhen was bound to have bad luck in the future.

He thought Feng Qingluan would get angry, but she simply closed her eyes slowly. She seemed to be comprehending, but Ye Hua could feel that Feng Qingluan’s emotions were not very stable.

A suspicious feeling immediately arose in his heart. After looking back and forth between the two of them, Ye Hua’s face darkened like the night. He forced himself to close his eyes, and everything had to wait until the end of the comprehension before a conclusion could be reached.

Lin Zhen looked away from Feng Qingluan, not knowing what he was thinking. After taking a deep breath, he began the final comprehension.

By now, Lin Zhen knew that at the end of the Boundary Tablet, there were actually only two moves: Spatial Slash for combat and Planetary Instantaneous Movement!

The Spatial Slash is a powerful combat skill formed by endless spatial cuts. When countless spatial rifts roar through, no one can resist it head-on.

Planetary Instantaneous Movement, on the other hand, is a long-distance teleportation technique capable of instantly moving to another planet within sight. It’s ideal for escaping and saving one’s life.

He knew the situation, and so did Ye Hua. After reaching the ninth row, if one couldn’t reach the tenth row, neither of these two moves could be learned. Only by advancing further could the final battle techniques be learned.

So, the gap between the ninth and tenth rows was like that between heaven and earth.

Lin Zhen entered the virtual arena within the Dimensional Battle Arena, and with his Fire Kirin Empire Supreme Three-Star guest privileges, he activated the most powerful virtual arena.

He set ten opponents, each of whom was a Star System Stage Expert proficient in Space Law.

The opponents stood far away, attacking Lin Zhen with spatial cuts non-stop.

Lin Zhen’s goal was to quickly approach these ten Star System Stage Experts and kill them!

Frontal assault, continuous spatial cuts simulated a bit of what a Spatial Slash looked like.

The first time Lin Zhen had advanced less than ten meters, the roaring Spatial Slash swept past him, cutting him into pieces before he could even dodge.

“It’s this feeling! This feeling! Although the power of this spatial cut is obviously not enough, it already has the embryonic form of Spatial Slash.”

“Ye Hua must also be desperately trying to break through. There is only one place in the tenth row. Whoever can comprehend these two moves first will achieve the final victory. This time, I will do my best!”

Lin Zhen spent a lot of money on the virtual arena. Simulating a Star System Stage Expert required tens of millions at a time. He even simulated dozens or hundreds of them at once!

Spending hundreds of billions at once only lasted a few seconds!

But struggling to survive under such spatial rifts, dying time and time again, Lin Zhen gradually gained a deeper insight into Spatial Slash!

A hundred thousand simulations!

In one month, Lin Zhen’s 30-billion Cosmic Crystal card was consumed to 20 billion!

After more than a hundred Star System Stage spatial experts sent out spatial cuts for the hundred thousandth time, Lin Zhen suddenly twisted in the air!

With a shake of his hand, he sent two spatial cuts back!

Normal spatial cuts could only create one spatial rift, but now Lin Zhen could send out two at once, which was the most basic form of Spatial Slash!

A stream of light circulated around his body, and Lin Zhen completed half of the comprehension at the ninth row!

As long as he understood the Planetary Instantaneous Movement, he could go to the tenth row!

Three minutes after Lin Zhen completed, Ye Hua also completed half, almost neck and neck with Lin Zhen!

Before, Ye Hua was half a month ahead of Lin Zhen, but now he had no advantage at all. Both of them were almost on the same starting line.

But it couldn’t be said that Lin Zhen was sure to win. At this time, not only talent but also luck played a crucial role!
