Chapter 13: Chapter 13: Meeting the Host

With a successful strike, Lin Zhen swiftly ducked down as a wine bottle flew over his head, and he leaped backward without a backward glance.

The second-class opponent did not expect Lin Zhen to react so quickly, and ended up colliding head-on with him.

Caught off guard, the opponent was knocked down by Lin Zhen. Not wasting such a great opportunity, Lin Zhen grabbed a chair and swung it at the opponent just as they were trying to get up.

Crash!

The chair shattered upon impact and the opponent fell down once more. Lin Zhen aggressively kicked him until he couldnt get up again.

Five hundred points in the bag!

Ignoring the incapacitated opponent, Lin Zhen swiftly dashed towards the third-class student fighting Zhang Yi and sneak attacked him.

He unleashed four consecutive punches, and the opponent fell down at his feet. At this point, Meng Dongs opponent was also knocked down, and Meng Dong and Zhang Yi immediately pounced on the second-class student fighting Zhu Haoran, trying to snatch those five hundred points.

Instead of joining them, Lin Zhen quickly approached Fu Chengya and Lei Mings fighting circle, where another third-class student was engaged in battle.

He sneak attacked the opponent while using his nerve reactions to dodge several punches. His counterattacks ultimately knocked down the opponent. During these intense combat situations, Lin Zhens nerve reaction speed was at an abnormal level.

Thus, Lin Zhen and Fu Chengya fought together in a two against one battle, with both of them attacking Lei Ming.

Lin Zhen! Get lost! We dont need you here!

Fu Chengya yelled at Lin Zhen angrily. Lin Zhen sneered, thinking, Why didnt you say that when I was taking down that third-class student? Now that the situation is favorable, you want to hog all the glory? Keep dreaming. Fiind updted ovels on n/v/elbin(.)co/m

Ignoring Fu Chengya, Lin Zhen closed in on Lei Ming, rapidly attacking with punches and kicks as swift as lightning.

If Lei Ming was only up against Fu Chengya one on one, he might have been able to hold on, but with Lin Zhen, he couldnt resist. Lin Zhens reaction speed was just too fast. Even though Lei Mings overall skills had reached the peak of a third-level warrior, his punches still missed Lin Zhen, and coupled with Fu Chengyas fierce attacks, Lei Ming was immediately put on the defensive.

How is this Lin Zhen, who is just a second-class student, so difficult to deal with?

Lei Ming was caught off guard when he was hit by Fu Chengyas punch. While retreating, Lin Zhen seized the opportunity to land three punches and a kick on Lei Mings lower abdomen.

Before he could recover, Fu Chengya had leaped up and ferociously jumped in front of him, unleashing a barrage of punches, apparently wanting to defeat Lei Ming in one fell swoop.

Enraged, Lei Ming didnt care about Fu Chengyas incoming heavy punches. Instead, he concentrated all his strength into his elbow and ruthlessly struck it towards Fu Chengyas lower abdomen.

Bang bang!

Fu Chengya managed to land nearly four hundred kilograms of punches on Lei Mings face, but before he could celebrate, an unbearable sharp pain in his lower abdomen hit him.

Unable to endure the pain, Fu Chengya was struck by Lei Ming, who took advantage of his impatience and ended the battle with a devastating blow!

In his previous life, Fu Chengya had managed to withstand Lei Ming and another second-class students joint attack for five minutes without being defeated. This just goes to show how important mental state is for a martial artist.

Instantly losing his will to fight, Fu Chengyas body curled up like a shrimp, and he lay on the ground convulsing, unable to even speak. Lei Ming had also sustained severe injuries, but he remained standing.

But before he could celebrate, Lin Zhen appeared like a ghost behind him and delivered a vicious chop to the back of his neck. Lei Mings body went limp, and Lin Zhen then grabbed him and executed a swift shoulder throw, slamming him to the ground.

As Lei Ming fell, the battle involving three fighters against a second-class student also ended. Meng Dong eventually knocked down the second-class student, leaving Zhu Haoran and Zhang Yi slightly injured and deeply frustrated.

With the end of the battle, Meng Dong had taken down one second-class and one third-class student, while Lin Zhen had outperformed everyone, defeating four third-class students, one second-class student, and Lei Ming, the first-class student.

Although Fu Chengya had inflicted serious damage on Lei Ming, he was also knocked down by Lei Ming and failed to earn any praise for Gale Martial Arts Hall. It was evident that he wouldnt gain any points.

Zhao Liang laughed heartily as he came down from the upper floor, appearing very delighted.

Particularly for Zhao Liang, who had discovered Lin Zhens talent. Lin Zhens outstanding performance made him feel proud. He patted Lin Zhens shoulder and said, Kid, you did great! The biggest problem for most students is not their strength, but their mentality. With your calm and composed attitude in battle, I have faith that you will stand out among these students and become the first to earn the title of Martial Artist!

Lin Zhen smiled and replied, Thank you for the compliments, Brother Zhao.

Looking at the mess around them, Lin Zhen said, Are we still drinking here?

Haha, we dont need to worry about this place. The people from Dragon Slayer will compensate for all the damages. You and Meng Dong come with me now, the leader of our hall wants to meet you two.

The leader wants to see me and Meng Dong? Lin Zhen was stunned.

Yes, I recorded your fight and streamed it live to the leader. He said to bring you two over.

Lin Zhen and Meng Dong looked at each other, feeling excited. It was already very late, and the leaders summons at this time obviously meant something good was happening.

Old Hu wasnt so happy. Among the three students he had recruited, Fu Chengya, a first-rate student, was knocked down on the spot and still hadnt gotten up. Zhu Haoran and Zhang Yi were also injured, and the three of them didnt even manage to defeat one opponent. They didnt earn a single point, leaving Old Hu feeling ashamed.

You two, help Fu Chengya up and take him to the hospital. Remember to report to the martial arts school in a couple of days.

Old Hu said and then turned and left the bar.

Following behind Zhao Liang, Lin Zhen and Meng Dong also left the bar. At that moment, a martial artist from Dragon-slaying Academy looked at Lin Zhen and said, Kid, you performed quite well. I hope you can keep it up once you take the Genetic Potion and enter the Wilderness Area. I look forward to meeting you in the wild.

Zhao Liangs face changed, Zhang Huai, youve already advanced to War General. Whats the meaning behind threatening a newbie like this?

Did I threaten him? Hehe! I dont remember doing that.

Zhang Huai sneered and walked out of the bar.

Meng Dong said, Lin Zhen, I heard that Ouyang Yus family has a martial artist with great connections named Zhang Huai. Is that him?

Zhao Liang said solemnly, Thats him, Zhang Huai, also known as the Butcher. I dont know if hes related to someone named Ouyang Yu, but this man is cruel and has recently advanced to War General. Being targeted by someone like him is very dangerous, so be careful in the future, Lin Zhen.

Dont worry, Brother Zhao, Ill be careful. Lets go.

Lin Zhen glanced at Zhang Huais retreating figure and thought, If you dont come looking for me, Ill definitely come looking for you eventually!

He would never forget that in his past life, after becoming a martial artist, Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall was constantly suppressed by Dragon Slayer Martial Arts Hall. Lin Zhen himself was humiliated by people like Zhang Huai and Ouyang Yu multiple times. Lin Zhens father, Lin Liye, was secretly attacked by Zhang Huai, leading to serious internal injuries and his eventual death.

If Lin Zhen had to list the people he most wanted to kill in this life, Zhang Huai would definitely be in the top three. Ouyang Yu wouldnt even make the list.

They left the bar and got into Zhao Liangs Great Wall Phantom.

The car sped through the city, crossing the Jiang Bridge, heading for the North District.

The North District was the core of Ice City Base City, not only the home of the Base City government, but also the wealthy area and the location of various martial arts schools.

As they passed the Jiang Bridge, Lin Zhen looked at the surging river below and pondered.

In his past life, Ice City Base City ultimately fell. It happened about five years later during a monster siege. Ice Citys defense was strong, but the problem began with this river called Songhua River.

The river flowed through the city with water gates on both sides, and several giant iron gates weighing thousands of tons kept large monsters out. However, a monster fish appeared, one that could devour metal and bite through the iron gates, allowing numerous aquatic monsters to flood in and leading to the fall of the Base City.

Lin Zhen didnt know if he could change this situation in this lifetime, but for now, improving his strength was paramount.

Entering the North District, there were far fewer people. The car quickly arrived at a large front gate.

On the twenty-meter marble shadow wall, the words Gale Martial Arts Hall were written in grand and imposing characters. It was said that they were personally written by Hua Xias top expert, Gale.

The car bypassed the shadow wall and pulled up directly in front of the Gale Martial Arts Hall building.

Get out of the car. Ill take you to meet our hall leader. Hes one of the top five masters in Ice City Base City. Dongfang Jun is a Seventh-level War God!

Meng Dongs legs suddenly felt weak. After getting out of the car, his steps were unsteady. Following behind Lin Zhen, he said, Lin Zhen, Im going to meet a War God. Why do I feel like my legs are giving out?

How about you go back and give me your 700 points? I wont mind having extra points.

No way! I just calculated that you already have 3,300 points. Youre still trying to snatch my pitiful points. I cant let you succeed.

Meng Dong didnt feel as nervous anymore. The group entered the elevator and went up to the 18th floor where the room of Hall Leader Dongfang Jun was located.
