Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Lin Zhen I s Strength

On their way, Lin Zhen bumped into Zhao Liang, Meng Dong, and others, and had a brief conversation with them. None of them asked about Lin Zhen's unparalleled speed, which was a taboo among Martial Artists. Even if they were close friends, they should not inquire about each other's hidden skills; such behavior was quite annoying.

Now everyone simply assumed that Lin Zhen was a natural Divine Speedster. It seemed that Zhao Liang and the others believed this as well, and Lin Zhen didn't bother to explain further.

Only Meng Dong kept chattering: “Lin Zhen, do you know? You are famous again! Since this time it's a challenge for the Warrior Level, most of the viewers are Warriors. Now you are recognized as the number one Warrior in Ice City on the internet!”

“Haha, those are just empty titles,” Lin Zhen laughed.

“Lin Zhen, I said on the internet that you're my friend, and a lot of people actually attacked me for it. I plan to open a live broadcast room. You have to come to support me, so I can show those who bad-mouthed me. I bet many people will send me gifts or even luxury cars, and I can probably make hundreds of thousands. Lin Zhen, how about we split the money 50/50?”

“Dongzi, why don't you spend this time and energy on your cultivation? You can't even beat Nelov, so why bother with live broadcasting?” Lin Zhen looked at his friend with some disappointment.

Meng Dong lowered his head, finding himself somewhat afraid of Lin Zhen. Perhaps this was the chasm that strength created between them.

Zhao Liang and the others wanted to invite Lin Zhen for a drink to celebrate, but Lin Zhen declined, choosing to drive back home alone.

When he arrived home, his parents were preparing a hot pot filled with various seafood.

Ever since they moved here, Lin Liye and Li Qin had more than just money from Lin Zhen to spend; they also both received retirement pensions. With money in their hands, they no longer lived as frugally as before.

Lin Zhen sat down and had a few drinks with his father, Lin Liye.

During the meal, Li Qin nagged, saying that Lin Zhen was rarely at home, leaving the old couple quite lonely. She wanted Lin Zhen to find a girlfriend soon, have a child, and make the house a bit livelier.

“My son, why don't I introduce you to a girl? I promise you'll like her,” Li Qin said mysteriously to Lin Zhen.

“Mom, please don't! I have a girl in my mind, and when the time is right, I'll bring her to meet you,” Lin Zhen replied.

“You better make a good choice. Although our family isn't very wealthy, we're not poor anymore. At the very least, she shouldn't have a very different social

background. If not, just listen to your mom, I'll find you someone suitable.”

Lin Zhen hurriedly waved his hands, refusing his mother's offer. He didn't trust her to find someone suitable, and he only wanted An Ning anyway.

Thinking of An Ning, Lin Zhen knew that he had to pass the hurdle of her family to be with her.

The An family was a large conglomerate, and as their young miss, An Ning could not possibly choose a boyfriend with poor conditions. Although Lin Zhen had gained considerable fame among Martial Artists, he was still just a Warrior in the cultivation phase with decent potential. For now, it seemed that he wasn't quite a match for An Ning in every aspect.

After dinner, Lin Zhen returned to his training room.

The villa had three floors. His parents lived on the second floor, and Lin Zhen occupied the third floor. In addition to his bedroom, there was a training room covering about sixty to seventy square meters.

Lin Zhen changed into a new set of clothes and entered the room, taking out his liquid metal from the space ring.

Ten kilograms!

These ten kilograms of liquid metal were worth a staggering two billion Huaxia Coin!

However, ten kilograms of liquid metal wasn't that much. When gathered together, the metal, which Lin Zhen held in his hands, resembled a slightly flowing blob of mercury.

This magical substance didn't come from Earth but was found in meteorites from outer space. When imbued with spiritual power, it could transform into any shape according to the user's will. It was exclusively used by Spiritual Mind Masters.

Lin Zhen infused the metal with a stream of spiritual power, turning it into a circular arm shield with an image of a tiger's head on his arm.

He withdrew his spiritual power, and the liquid metal instantly solidified, no longer its previous liquid state but instead becoming extremely sturdy.

Lin Zhen tapped the shield with his hand to feel its solidity.

This liquid metal shielding had another advantage: it wasn't as brittle as normal metal. Even if a blade penetrated it, it couldn't be completely shattered or broken apart.

Perhaps the only drawback was that there was not enough liquid metal available. As an arm shield, it was clearly too small, and its defensive use wasn't significant.

“Sword!”

He infused another stream of spiritual power, and the arm shield instantly melted and transformed into a short sword.

In his previous life, Lin Zhen's weapon was a sword. He preferred spears, but since he had no suitable spear skills in his past life, he practiced swordsmanship instead. In fact, his sword technique was even more formidable than his current spear skills.

Waving the short sword twice, Lin Zhen nodded slightly.

“The quality of this sword is far superior to my Black Dragon Spear. The only problem is that there's too little liquid metal, not even enough to solidify a longsword, let alone a spear,” Lin Zhen said.

“To make the liquid metal form a spear, I'm afraid I will need at least fifty kilograms of liquid metal. I need to find a way to buy more,” he concluded.

Lin Zhen's spiritual power moved, and the liquid metal turned into a silver belt wrapped around Lin Zhen's waist, with no abnormalities visible from the outside.

At this time, Lin Zhen's phone rang again, and when he picked it up, Lin Zhen was overjoyed. The message turned out to be a notification about the sales information of the Nine Layers Spear River.

Lin Zhen had a total of 100 sets of Nine Layers Spear River, priced at 10 million each. He hadn't checked his phone for the past few days. When he checked it today, he found that 60 sets had already been sold.

Lin Zhen's account previously had more than 600 million, and now it had

become more than 1.2 billion.

However, Lin Zhen found that the first 50 sets were sold very quickly, but the speed slowed down afterward. Only three sets were sold yesterday and today.

Lin Zhen hurriedly logged onto the mall website and searched for similar products. He quickly found what he wanted.

Another booth called “Spear Skill Exclusives” was also selling Nine Layers Spear River, from the first to the fourth layer, and the price was even cheaper than Lin Zhen's.

Lin Zhen immediately saw the fourth layer of Nine Layers Spear River, Long River!

The price was 18 million!

Lin Zhen did not hesitate to buy the fourth layer, feeling secretly excited in his heart—finally, he had obtained the fourth layer!

In his previous life, Lin Zhen had only practiced the first layer. Now he had secret manuals for the first four layers, and after being enhanced by the lightning, Lin Zhen's spear skills were unique and much more powerful than before.

“Long River, the essence of Nine Layers Spear River, possesses the power of a waterfall and can be used continuously. Once this layer is mastered, one can be considered a skilled spear user. With my lightning-enhanced body, the power will definitely be increased.”

Lin Zhen carefully stored the secret manual of Long River. Now he hadn't fully mastered Waterfall, and he still needed to practice for a while.

There was a punching force tester in the practice room. Lin Zhen had money now, and he had these basic equipment at home too.

“My body has been strengthened by the lightning ions, and I can feel my physical strength increase.”

“The biggest improvement from lightning ions for me is speed, followed by nerve reaction, and the least improvement is strength. My previous punching force was almost 990 kg, and my punching speed reached about 15 punches per second, both at the peak of the warrior level.”

“As for my nerve reaction, it has long surpassed 0.01% per second. This kind of testing machine can't measure it, but I know that my previous nerve reaction was about that of an intermediate-level Advanced War General.”

Lin Zhen stood before the punching force tester, adjusted his state, and threw a fierce punch!

“1234 kg!”

When this number appeared, Lin Zhen knew that he had already exceeded the limit of the Warrior phase, and his physical strength alone was comparable to a First-level War General.

“My punching force increased by more than 200 kg, which is not bad. But compared to my speed, this increase in strength is not that significant. Now let's test my punching speed.”

Lin Zhen launched a series of powerful punches at lightning speed, hitting the punching target. Each punch was effective. During the punching process, uncontrollable electric sparks appeared on Lin Zhen's fists, which were the effects of the lightning ions.

One second passed!

A series of numbers kept jumping on the electronic screen of the punching target, each punch being around 1000 kg.

“Forty-nine times!”

A total of 49 numbers made Lin Zhen's eyes somewhat dazzling!

Compared to punching force, increasing punching speed is undoubtedly more challenging. Even when advancing to War General, the energy provided by

Dantian is far less effective in increasing punching speed than punching force. Lin Zhen's punching force is comparable to that of a First-Level War General, but his punching speed has almost reached the peak of Advanced War Generals!

“I am a Spiritual Mind Master, so my nerve reaction is the most outstanding.

“Of course, this is only the strength of ordinary Advanced War Generals. Compared to those elite-level generals, I am still far from being their opponent. Moreover, my strength is still weak compared to my punching speed and nerve reaction.”

“But it doesn't matter. Although strength is the most important indicator of a martial artist's power, speed and nerve reaction are the most difficult to improve.”

Lin Zhen was very satisfied with the test results. Now, with his speed and nerve reaction, he could easily crush junior War Generals and ordinary Intermediate War Generals.

By using spiritual power, he could even confront ordinary Advanced War Generals head-on!

After the test was completed, Lin Zhen's phone received two more messages.

One of the messages said that his account had been granted trading privileges in the technology department, and he could log in to the technology department's website to purchase meteorites and other items not seen in the market.

The other message was from Shi Lei. He, Zhao Liang, Gao Yan, and Meng Dong went out for dinner, and they ended up getting into a fight with the Millennia gang. Meng Dong and Zhao Liang were injured.

The ones who injured them were Li Tianhao's Chaotic Heroes squad..
