Chapter 553: Chapter 554: The Extremely Gratifying Team Battlefield! (Third update)

But seeing a height of one meter three, wearing heavy armor, looking like a dwarfish bearded man shaped like a water jug, she immediately stopped fixing her hair.

It seemed a bit unfair to put the name “Ni Ke” on the dwarf.

Moving his lips a few times, Zi Qianxia once again turned to Lin Zhen, “Hey, where is the last teammate? If you don’t have any candidates, how will it be if I replace somebody to make up the team?”

Lin Zhen nodded. It wasn’t that he couldn’t replace someone; Xuan Jiang was always ready to be summoned. But Lin Zhen couldn’t do that because Xuan Jiang was still useful.

After a while, Zi Qianxia found someone. It was Thirteen, one of the guards who followed him before.

Thirteen was very happy to see Lin Zhen and greeted him cheerfully.

“Alright, our team is finally full. Everyone, prepare yourself, the team battle will start in half an hour.”

Everyone stayed put to rest and waited for the start of the team battle.

The news of Xuan Jiang being defeated by Lin Zhen at Mount Sumeru never got out. Those who escaped to the Five Ghosts were executed for desertion.

The Five Ghosts thought Xuan Jiang was surely dead; instead, Xuan Jiang escaped, which surprised them a little.

So, on the surface, there were no significant changes in the 68399 small war zone.

On the other hand, the fact that Lin Zhen had assembled a new team sparked a flurry of discussions. People thought Lin Zhen was courting death, wondering how Xuan Jiang would toy with him this time.

Before the battle began, Yan Qiyue’s team passed by Lin Zhen’s team.

Yan Qiyue didn’t say anything. Instead, Lin Zhen’s former team leader, Heige, stopped and glanced at Lin Zhen, warning, “Lin Zhen, you shouldn’t have come back.”

“Oh, why?” Lin Zhen asked.

“Because it’s pointless. The 68399 zone will not change at all, and we, as your former teammates, feel embarrassed because of this situation. More so, your attempt to dig up our team members can easily cause misunderstandings. Lin Zhen, please stay away from us to avoid any misunderstandings,” Heige said.

Lin Zhen felt slightly embarrassed. Strictly speaking, his intention of recruiting Yan Qiyue was a bit taboo, but Heige’s attitude made him unhappy. Did they think he, Lin Zhen, was incompetent?

As for Yan Qiyue, Lin Zhen was somewhat discontented. How could he sell Lin Zhen out immediately after rejecting his recruitment offer?

Indeed, human feelings can be cold, and the world can be harsh.

Before Lin Zhen could reply, Zi Qianxia beside him sneered, “You social climbers! Don’t think the world will stop spinning without you. You’d better pray we don’t meet you in the team battle; otherwise, I won’t show any mercy.”

Heige glanced at Zi Qianxia and snorted, “We are both at the Star System Level 7. Do you think I would be scared of you? I’m here to tell you that when we meet in the team battle, I won’t hold back either!”

Having said that, the group confidently left. Polo from the God Machine Clan and Yuxuan from the Qingling Empire both glared at Lin Zhen, while Yan Qiyue didn’t even look at him.

Lin Zhen remained silent, his eyes slowly growing cold.

After a while, the team battle began.

This time, Lin Zhen’s was part of the Red Faction, the unpopular side, because Xuan Jiang was in the Black Faction.

Typically, the team with the big players would win in the end. Teams without them rarely managed to turn the tables. Moreover, no one cared about strategies here; it was all about attacking with full force to earn as many points as possible.

********

The scenery before their eyes changed, and Lin Zhen’s team entered the battlefield of the team battle.

It was the same as last time. They were surrounded by a sea of people dressed in red. Ten miles away, there was another crowd of people dressed in black, as numerous as before.

Last time, Lin Zhen’s team was positioned in the middle, but now they were at the very front.

“Don’t go too hard. Pay attention to protecting yourselves. Only those who survive to the end can reap the most rewards. Understand?”

Lin Zhen shouted, but the noise around them was so loud that his teammates barely heard him. They could only nod instinctively, then charged forward with the rest of the faction!

“Charge~~~!!”

After giving his command, Lin Zhen took the lead and rushed to the front.

This position made it easiest to attack others, but it was also the most vulnerable to attack. Being in this position without powerful strength was tantamount to seeking death.

Armorization~!!

Star Energy Transfer~~!!

Lin Zhen activated his armorization and star energy transfer abilities right away. His body was immediately covered in a black protective shell, and his duplicate’s full strength was also transferred to him, doubling his power.

Countless attacks descended from the sky. Lin Zhen’s body began to twist strangely in mid-air.

After his star power reached 13,500, Lin Zhen’s perception increased a lot, and he developed strong predetection of danger. He could sense the more lethal attacks, such as the assassinations by the God Machine Clan Martial Artists, in advance.

By twisting his body, he dodged many deadly rays, and when he couldn’t dodge, he used the Light Annihilation to form a shield as a hard defense.

With the armorization and the shield, even the assassination attempt of the God Machine Clan couldn’t harm Lin Zhen.

Boom boom boom~~!!!

A series of bombings sounded around Lin Zhen. He was advancing like he was under a barrage of gunfire.

Not far away, a dark figure on the enemy side was also leading the charge. It was the Xuan Jiang of the Black Faction.

At the beginning, the god-level strong ones would avoid each other because fighting to the death was not a rational behavior at the start. They would only proceed with the final duel when everyone has earned enough.

The distance of ten li was passed in an instant, and Lin Zhen finally approached the camp of the Black Faction.

Looking at the dense, thick ranks before him, Lin Zhen finally released the long-prepared Spatial Slash.

“Slash~!”

A dark cloud rose from the flat ground, the space cracks almost formed a line, carrying a shrill howl as they charged!

Those who were attacking on the ground were generally of weaker strength. Some experts chose to rise into the sky where they were less likely to be attacked. However, the real strong ones preferred to attack on the ground because they could maximize their benefits here!

The Spatial Slash issued by Lin Zhen’s current Star Power could only be described as crushing.

The martial artists in the front row only felt a flash before their eyes, and their bodies were immediately cut in half!

But, the power of the Spatial Slash was not so easily dissipated. It expanded and advanced in a crescent shape, the second row, third row, fourth row!

The dense martial artists fell down like wheat being harvested. When the power of Lin Zhen’s Spatial Slash dissipated, at least tens of thousands of people had fallen!

Lin Zhen just heard the incessant sounds of tallying- five million by five million- in his Dimension Universe system.

This feeling was truly exhilarating!

A Spatial Slash cleared a large area, and a vacuum area immediately appeared in the Black Faction’s camp. With no hesitation, Lin Zhen sped up his steps, instantly swept through the vacuum area, creating smaller scale Spatial Slashes targeting crowded places!

At the start, the pursuit was about efficiency, killing as many as possible!

The tiger entering the sheep flock was an understatement, this was a tiger entering an ant colony. There was no need to bite, stepping on them would kill them by the masses.

Those star system early stage creatures, or even those at the black hole period, were just extras. Encountering Lin Zhen was their bad luck, the huge Star Power difference of dozens or even hundreds of times left them with no power to resist.

While Lin Zhen was dazzling on the battlefield, the fights elsewhere were just as intense.

The experts exhausted all means possible while the weaker ones did their best to stay alive. As long as they found opportunities to kill a few others, it was considered a win.

The black wave and the red wave collided fiercely, erupting blood rain in the sky.

People who were killed here would have their bodies cleared away within a second, so there would be no interference with the subsequent fighting.

Some smarter martial artists, bearing the endless mental shock from the other side, desperately used teleportation.

As long as one could execute teleportation successfully, they would drill into the crowd, and self-destruct inside the crowd!

As long as the self-destruction was successful, this time would not be a wasted trip.

However, even for those who are rushing in for suicide, death isn’t that easy to replace. Those who had cultivated to the Star System Stage were basically Spiritual Mind Masters. When initiating attacks, they usually launched a Mental Shock first, and the endless Mental Shocks joined together to create a Mental Storm. Those who were not super strong in Spiritual Power could hardly break through the net.

But as the first wave of direct collisions passed, the defense was not so good anymore. Human bombs exploded one after another in the crowd. Each explosion resulted in scattered flesh and blood.

Shimmering figures filled the field, and even near Lin Zhen, countless people flew over to self-destruct.

Because Lin Zhen had killed too many people, anyone who could kill Lin Zhen could claim half of his assets. At present, it was estimated to be at least a billion, if not ten billion!

Lin Zhen wielded the Light Annihilation with one hand, blocking the martial artists who got close to self-destruct. Even when some martial artists self-detonated, their hundreds or barely thousands of star power could not cause any serious harm to Lin Zhen after armorization. Instead, Lin Zhen’s continuous counterattack using the Spiritual Evil Spirit Cone killed one martial artist after another.

The explosions around him were continuous. These people self-destructed, but it still counted as kills by Lin Zhen, because they were targeting him.

“Ding~! Five million has been credited to your team battlefield account, the current balance is sixty-two billion, two hundred and fifty million!”

“Ding~! Five million has been credited to your team battlefield account, the current balance is sixty-three billion!”

“Ding~! Five million has been credited to your team battlefield account, the current balance is sixty-four billion, six hundred and fifty million!”

The sounds of notification were like celestial music in Lin Zhen’s ears. Facing this collective suicide bombing, he didn’t have much means to counterattack. Spiritual Shield, armorization, Light Annihilation formed layers of defense. All he had to do was to kill in advance those martial artists with stronger power.

Playing the waiting game, Lin Zhen was now like a big iron stake, and the martial artists were like countless eggs flying over, crashing with a bang, each one shattered to pieces, but they couldn’t shake Lin Zhen at all!
