Chapter 588: Chapter 489 Lin Zhen’s Results

At this moment, Lin Zhen truly felt invincible, as if he could cut through all obstacles and forge ahead.

In his eyes, the pressure from above seemed inconsequential, and the one-hundred-thousand-kilometer distance appeared trivial to him.

Seventy-thousand…seventy-five thousand…eighty thousand kilometers!

By this time, Lin Zhen’s achievements had already surpassed Sun Liang and Zhu Xiaodie’s.

He had won this bet.

However, Lin Zhen’s goal had never been merely winning this insignificant bet; it was merely a little amusement during his idle time. He helped Zhu Lingshan while taking the opportunity to test himself, to challenge whether he could pass through the Heavenly Gate and directly ascend to the Original World on his first attempt.

With seventy-thousand Star Power in his original body and sixty-five thousand in his clone, Lin Zhen believed he might have a chance after using Star Energy Transfer.

Therefore, with almost no reservations, he used all of his original body’s Star Power for a rapid charge.

Under the Heavenly Gate, Zhu Lingshan couldn’t believe what she saw and covered her mouth with her hand. The bet she thought she’d certainly lose had unexpectedly turned around due to Lin Zhen’s performance.

And it was a massive reversal. It was still unclear how far he could go with his charging speed!

Sun Liang and Zhu Xiaodie’s faces turned ashen, never having dreamed that Lin Zhen was actually a supreme powerhouse.

Breaking their heads, they could not figure out why such an important person would come to tease them out of boredom. Could Zhu Lingshan’s charm be that great? Could it really subdue such a person?

Zhu Xiaodie’s gaze at Zhu Lingshan was filled with jealousy. Comparing Lin Zhen to Sun Liang beside her, she felt that Sun Liang, who she once found pleasing to the eye, was now incomparably ugly.

It had to be said that a man’s strength often held more sway with women than his looks.

In just an instant, Lin Zhen had broken through the one-hundred-thousand-kilometer mark!

About half of the onlookers immediately stood up and began applauding on the spot.

At the Heavenly Gate, everyone was fighting for a glimmer of hope. They wouldn’t be stingy with their applause when they saw someone performing exceptionally well, because others passing through the Heavenly Gate would also give them hope.

“Clap clap clap~!”

The rhythmic applause echoed through the sky. Although Lin Zhen, who was charging, couldn’t hear it, he could imagine it.

However, Lin Zhen had no time to think about that. After one hundred thousand kilometers, the pressure began to increase, but it still wasn’t much of an issue, as Lin Zhen continued to charge forward with unstoppable speed.

One hundred twenty thousand…one hundred fifty thousand…one hundred eighty thousand…two hundred thousand!

If only half of the people were applauding at the beginning, by the time he reached two hundred thousand, more than half were clapping now.

Within a day, there weren’t many people who could charge past two hundred thousand. And even those who could were mostly old faces. It was infrequent for newcomers to reach that distance on their first attempt!

This could only prove that the newcomer had an absolute strength that ordinary people could not match!

Moreover, many experienced Martial Artists could see that Lin Zhen had a powerful momentum, and two hundred thousand was definitely not his limit.

The record for the Black Hole Period was five hundred and ten thousand kilometers. Could Lin Zhen really break it?

After two hundred thousand, Lin Zhen started to feel a bit strained. Although it was still bearable, it was undoubtedly difficult.

However, he still hadn’t used Star Power Transfer and continued to charge with his own strength.

Two hundred twenty thousand…two hundred fifty thousand…two hundred eighty thousand…three hundred thousand!

When Lin Zhen broke through the three-hundred-thousand-kilometer mark, almost everyone stood up and applauded, including many World King Powerhouses in the front row.

Some even blew loud whistles, and all the big screens at the Heavenly Gate began broadcasting Lin Zhen’s charging scene. Only those who charged past three hundred thousand would receive such a treatment.

If you couldn’t even reach three hundred thousand, you wouldn’t get such a privilege.

People no longer made any noise, especially the Martial Artists in the Black Hole Period, who remained silent. They all stood on tiptoe, eagerly hoping to witness a miracle today.

After all, most people who had charged more than three hundred thousand were either at World King or Star System Stage, with only a few in the Black Hole Period.

Seeing this situation, Sun Liang and Zhu Xiaodie wanted to make a run for it. There was no need to continue the bet, as Sun Liang even knew that he wasn’t a match for a Black Hole Period who could charge past three hundred thousand, even though he was at the Star System Stage. They couldn’t even play dirty.

However, a White-Haired King, who had been watching the screen, suddenly turned around: “Hey! Where are you two going? You dared to make a bet in front of me and bully people, and now you want to run away when the situation looks bad? Do you think I’m invisible?”

Sun Liang said with a mournful face: “Senior, this has nothing to do with you, right? We don’t owe you any money.”

“Indeed, you don’t owe me money, but I despise scum like you two in my entire life. Especially you, who failed to hook up with the elder sister and turned to the younger sister instead. And when you found her, you still belittled the elder sister. How despicable are you?”

After saying that, he pointed at Zhu Xiaodie: “You, woman, are also despicable enough to plot against your sister for such a worthless man, even scheming to cut off her arm. If I turn a blind eye, wouldn’t I be as despicable as you? Stay here, no one is allowed to leave, or I’ll annihilate whoever leaves!”

Sun Liang and Zhu Xiaodie cursed their bad luck, having come across a World King who liked to meddle in other people’s affairs. They thought it was really the worst luck possible.

However, that World King had already made a clear threat, so they dared not move and had to stay put obediently.

Zhu Lingshan felt a surge of satisfaction in her heart as she listened, but she also understood that this World King was not someone who liked to meddle too much. Half of the reason was his character, and the other half was due to the handsome man.

Only such a person could make a World King take notice and even be willing to make friends with him. Otherwise, the World King would likely not bother.

*********

Lin Zhen didn’t know what was happening below. After passing 300,000, the pressure intensified once more, making it difficult even for him.

He estimated that with his own power to continue the charge, passing 400,000 wouldn’t be a problem, and 500,000…should also be possible, but 600,000 would require desperate measures.

As for 700,000, the chances seemed very slim.

“Maybe it’s time for the Star Energy Transfer. At least for the first time, I can pass 800,000 or even higher. Only after practicing for some time will I have the possibility of passing through the Heavenly Gate.”

With a thought, Lin Zhen was ready for the transfer of Star Power.

However, he suddenly realized with horror that Star Energy Transfer could not be used here!

Why couldn’t it be used during the challenge when it had worked in other places?

Lin Zhen immediately thought of Zhuiyue’s words.

Zhuiyue had said that during the challenge of the Heavenly Gate, you cannot teleport, and you must rely on your own power to pass through…

At this moment, Lin Zhen understood that the Star Power Transfer couldn’t be used because the transferred Star Power didn’t belong to his main body but to his avatar’s.

The test here in Heavenly Gate was extremely strict, involving the great matter of entering the Original World. It would certainly not allow any suspicion of fraud or cheating.

Lin Zhen’s Star Power Transfer, after all, was not the power of his main body and could not be counted.

Lin Zhen’s heart went cold, realizing that without the Star Power Transfer, he couldn’t pass through the Heavenly Gate at present.

As for breaking the 510,000 record, he figured he could do that. His main body’s limit was between 600,000 and 700,000.

But Lin Zhen didn’t want to do that either, as standing out too much would inevitably attract envious scheming. He didn’t want to end up dead before achieving success.

However, he couldn’t let others look down upon him. After making his decision, Lin Zhen began to slowly withdraw his Star Power, but his body continued to rise.

320,000…350,000…380,000…400,000!

As the pressure of 400,000 fell, people could noticeably feel Lin Zhen’s speed slowing down.

“Ah, what a pity! There’s no way to break the record.”

“Yeah, what’s the name of the one in the first place?”

“I heard it’s Ke Xiangnan, the prince of the Sorcerer Empire. His 510,000 shocked everyone.”

“Still, he’s not strong enough in the end. He’s probably around 420,000 or 430,000. But this result is still impressive, ranking in the top ten.”

“Ah, let’s disperse. Let’s get some sleep. There’s really no way for a Black Hole Period martial artist to pass through the Heavenly Gate. We should work hard to advance to the Star System Stage. At least, that way, there’s a glimmer of hope.”

As expected, Lin Zhen’s final result was 420,000 kilometers, earning him the title of 10th place among all the Black Hole Period martial artists.

The spectators gave Lin Zhen a warm round of applause in response. This result also surprised Lin Zhen. The universe was vast, with many talents emerging. Being able to pass 400,000 kilometers proved that a martial artist’s Star Power was at least over 40,000.

Though the Black Hole Period’s achievements didn’t rival the World King, they still crushed every Star System Stage.

Especially the one in the first place, his Star Power was definitely above 50,000. Such a person was not to be underestimated. Lin Zhen had his avatar’s power unused, who knew what tricks others might have up their sleeves.

Lin Zhen was satisfied with this result, neither attracting attention nor being too conspicuous. It was just right.

As he descended from the Heavenly Gate, Lin Zhen deliberately stumbled. No one noticed anything was amiss.

In their eyes, it was anyone’s guess about Lin Zhen’s true capabilities. As long as Lin Zhen wanted to hide his Star Power, no one could see how much he had. However, people estimated that his Star Power was just over 40,000.

After calming down, Lin Zhen walked back to Zhu Lingshan and the others.

“Oh, you two are still here. I didn’t expect you to keep your word. I thought you might run away. If you did, that would be fine. I don’t want to cut off your arms. But since you’ve stayed, if I don’t do something, I’ll seem petty. So, I’ll just do it reluctantly.”

Both Sun Liang and Zhu Xiaodie almost spat blood, thinking to themselves that they would have run if they could.

At this point, they had no choice but to brace themselves and press on, no matter how unwilling they were.

“So, have you decided? Whose arm will be cut?”

Sun Liang wanted to shirk responsibility, hoping Zhu Xiaodie would take the blame. But seeing Lin Zhen and the White-Haired King’s menacing glare, he dared not delay any longer. Biting the bullet, he stepped forward, “What’s the problem? Cut mine!”

“Good, you have guts!”

After saying that, Lin Zhen took out a knife, and with a flick of his finger, he left some Flame power on the blade. Then, he handed the knife to Zhu Lingshan, “How about I give you a chance, sister?”
