Age of Evolution

Lin Zhen was very grateful that he came to check this information, otherwise venturing into the Wilderness Area blindly might have fallen right into Li

Tianhao’s trap. A Golden Level Spiritual Mind Master who is also a high-level War General – even facing this single person alone, Lin Zhen would hardly have any chance of escape, let alone dealing with the two Divine Power Users who can communicate telepathically.

No wonder Li Wanfeng was willing to place his son in the Wilderness Area, as there was such a powerful force guarding it. With these few people present, it would not be an easy task for Li Tianhao to meet his death even if he wished for it.

Although the enemies were powerful, it didn’t mean that Lin Zhen would give up. He had to go, and there was still a week before that time came, so he needed to make sufficient preparations before embarking on the journey.

After thinking for a while, Lin Zhen opened another web page.

Martial Artist Instructors!

There was a popular online teaching method where one could pay money to find many teachers to teach them martial arts, learn from the strengths of various teachers, and improve much more than working in isolation.

Lin Zhen wanted to find a spear technique instructor. Although he had created the Thunderous Nine Transformations after learning the spear technique, it remained that this technique just accelerated the Nine Layers Spear River, and its essence hadn’t changed much.

If Lin Zhen wanted to become a grandmaster in spear techniques, he still needed to learn a lot, so finding a teacher at this time was crucial.

With the memories from his past life, Lin Zhen knew that there was a teacher who was quite suitable for him.

When searching, Lin Zhen chose the spear technique, and immediately many pages appeared with as many as three hundred spear technique instructors.

Lin Zhen set the filter criteria and chose instructors of the Warrior Level.

About eighty-five percent of these instructors were of the War General Level, ten percent were of the War God Level, and the remaining five percent were of the Warrior Level.

Among the more than ten Warrior Level instructors, more than half of them had no real skills and could be considered frauds in Lin Zhen’s eyes. Lin Zhen browsed through each name and quickly targeted one person.

It’s him!

Level Nine Warrior Zhang Guanyue!

Zhang Guanyue, 28 years old, Level Nine Warrior. Weapon of choice: Spear.

Lesson fees: two thousand online per hour, twenty thousand per day for in-person lessons.

For a martial artist, this price is low, but according to the online records,

Zhang Guanyue’s last order was half a year ago. It could be said that this person had no business for half a year.

This was normal as well. Being 28 and still a Warrior Level meant that this person had no hope of advancing to the War General Level, so it was easy to see that they wouldn’t be very skilled, and no one would look for him to learn spear techniques.

But Lin Zhen knew that although Zhang Guanyue did not have great abilities, his understanding of spear techniques, especially the basic ones, was exceptional, and he even created an independent spear technique.

In the last life, aliens from Extraterrestrial Civilization came to Ice City after the second catastrophe, and most of the resisting people were massacred, including Zhang Guanyue.

Zhang Guanyue resisted. Facing the powerful Alien Invader, Zhang Guanyue picked up his spear to fight back. Although there was a huge gap in strength, his spear techniques surprised the Alien Invader, who said that if Zhang Guanyue reached the Star Realm, he might not even be his opponent.

Due to Zhang Guanyue’s spear technique, after killing him, that person even took the trouble to bury Zhang in a solemn manner.

In his previous life, Lin Zhen heard about this and lamented that although the folk masters had made some name for themselves, their strength was ultimately still too weak. Without money, it was difficult for martial artists to make a name for themselves.

After being reborn, Lin Zhen had always kept this matter in mind, but he had never had the time to address it. Now was the perfect opportunity.

Zhang Guanyue’s account was shown to be online on the website, and Lin Zhen directly sent him a message.

“I want to learn spear techniques from you.”

Zhang Guanyue replied quickly after receiving the message.

“Are you sure you didn’t find the wrong person? I’m only a Warrior Level.”

“No, it’s you. I’m sure it’s you.”

“That’s great! Are you choosing online lessons or in-person lessons?”

“I choose in-person lessons. Please give me your address, I will be there tomorrow morning.”

Zhang Guanyue quickly sent an address, then hesitantly asked, “If you are really looking for me to teach, could you give me a down payment first? I’ll definitely be home waiting for you tomorrow morning.”

Lin Zhen laughed, apparently Zhang Guanyue was really poor, and probably didn’t have many people looking for him to learn, so his life was likely quite difficult.

“Alright, give me your account number, I’ll pay you a 50,000 down payment first.”

An account number was quickly sent over, and Lin Zhen transferred 50,000 to the other party.

“I received the money, great, come over tomorrow morning, I’ll clean the yard now.”

Zhang Guanyue seemed very excited, replied to Lin Zhen, and quickly went offline.

Lin Zhen also closed his computer, practiced his mental power for a while, and felt that his mental power had improved slightly. He didn’t turn off the light and rest until midnight.

Early the next morning, Lin Zhen got up early. His mother, Li Qin, had made lamb-stuffed big baozi, and Lin Zhen ate more than ten of them in one breath, followed by two bowls of porridge before leaving home.

After driving out of his home, Lin Zhen went to a nearby 24-hour supermarket to buy some beef, roast duck, and beer. With these items in hand, he headed straight for the address Zhang Guanyue had given him.

Initially, Lin Zhen thought that someone like Zhang Guanyue should live in the North City District, since it was a residential area for ordinary people. However, it turned out that Zhang Guanyue actually lived in the South City District.

The South City District was neither a poor nor a wealthy area. The elderly residents of Ice City lived here, and there were not many buildings, but rather some small courtyard houses.

These courtyards were quite large, and Base City had repeatedly persuaded people here to relocate in order to alleviate the city’s housing pressure. However, many people here did not want to sell their houses, claiming that they were their ancestral property and not to be demolished.

As a result, these courtyards were preserved in the expansion of Base City, and the living conditions of the people here were not good, but they still guarded their ancestral property and continued to live here.

When Lin Zhen arrived at Zhang Guanyue’s house, he couldn’t help but feel emotional.

Zhang Guanyue’s courtyard was actually quite big, covering an area of about 700 or 800 square meters. It looked a bit like a quadrangle house, but it was actually a single courtyard.

The courtyard gate was somewhat dilapidated, probably due to a lack of money for repairs, but it was obvious that it had been cleaned recently.

Lin Zhen knocked on the door: “Is Mr. Zhang Guanyue there? I made an appointment yesterday to learn martial arts with you.”

The courtyard door opened, revealing the face of a young man.

Although he was described as a young man, he was not particularly young, probably approaching thirty. He was somewhat thin, poorly dressed, and looked like he had just taken a morning bath, as his hair was still damp.

This was Zhang Guanyue, whose profile picture was available online.

Zhang Guanyue excitedly opened the door, and after seeing Lin Zhen, he froze:

“Are you the person who made an appointment with me to learn gun techniques yesterday?”

“Yes, it’s me.” Lin Zhen stood at the door, smiling.

“But why do you look familiar?”

“Maybe so, within the warrior level, there are many people who have seen me…

Um… What I mean is, I often appear online.”

“Oh, oh, oh, oh!”

Zhang Guanyue let out a series of oh’s, pointing at Lin Zhen and slapping his forehead, “I remember… I remember… I’ve seen you before, you’re Lin… Lin….”

“My name is Lin Zhen.” Lin Zhen couldn’t bear to watch the other party’s actions any longer, so he reminded him.

“Right! You are Lin Zhen, the current number one warrior of Ice City! Wow, it’s really you! You know what? You’re my idol! You defeated the Russians, which was a great honor for Ice City! And your gun techniques, how do you wield your gun that fast?”

Zhang Guanyue was clearly excited and spoke for a while before suddenly thinking of something, “Lin Zhen, you are the number one warrior of Ice City, but you come to learn gun techniques from me, are you just making fun of me?”

Lin Zhen handed over the wine and meat in his hands to Zhang Guanyue: “Do you think I have the time to tease you? I’m actually here to learn guns from you. Are you welcoming me or not?”

“Of course, I’m welcoming you, but… it’s a bit surreal.”

Zhang Guanyue happily took the wine and meat, and Lin Zhen stepped into the courtyard.

As he entered the courtyard, Lin Zhen immediately felt a different atmosphere..
