Age of Evolution

Chapter 196 - 196: 196: Gale Hall Master (Fourth Update)

General Instructor Guo MO stood in front of the crowd, welcoming the arrival of a group of VIPs.

He was well aware of the unrest within the Star Fruit Tree in recent years, where internal martial artists were constantly fighting and forming alliances, resulting in countless deaths and injuries for their own interests. But he couldn’t do anything about it, as not only he, but all War Gods were unable to enter the Star Fruit Tree. The matters within the Tree could only be resolved by the internal martial artists themselves.

However, this time the situation inside had escalated too far.

Some martial artists who had left the Tree informed Guo MO about the situation inside.

Guo MO knew Yue Feng, the 492nd batch of students. He was the son of the

Gale Martial Arts Hall general director in Capital Base City. He had entered the Tree with excellent achievements but was too bossy and strong, bringing in many bodyguards to conquer the Tree. His sole purpose was to become the overlord inside and seize the most resources to advance to War God Realm forcefully.

And he had indeed achieved his goal. In just two years, he had unified the Star Fruit Tree and seized control of Sky Dome, becoming the Lord of Sky Dome and the King of the Star Fruit Tree.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with that. Although many martial artists held grievances against Yue Feng, the order within the Star Fruit Tree had improved.

But things changed after the 497th batch of students entered.

Yue Feng took a liking to Su Mingyue, which was understandable as it was natural for a gentleman to pursue a fair lady. However, Yue Feng made a huge mistake by confining Su Mingyue to the Sky Dome.

Especially since Su Mingyue seemed to have feelings for Lin Zhen, and the conflict escalated even further.

Guo MO had a good impression of Lin Zhen. He had dared to attack Yan Qiyue with a gun during the fifth round of the competition, which only three people in the history of God Generals Training Camp had ever done.

The first was Yan Qiyue’s colleague, who himself was acquainted with Yan Qiyue. The second was Chen Fenglie.

Because of this, Guo MO had high expecta tions for Lin Zhen in his heart, believing that he would be extraordinary if he could grow up.

However, with some martial artists leaving the Star Fruit Tree, news of the internal situation slowly spread to the outside world.

Su Mingyue was being held captive in the Sky Dome!

Ye Lanshan was about to leave Sky Dome; Su Mingyue would lose her last guardian and be forced to submit!

Lin Zhen suppressed all the martial artists in the Beehive, defeated the Four Gods of Sky Dome, and killed three of them!

Lin Zhen was organizing the martial artists of Beehive Ant Nest to fight back against Sky Dome!

One piece of news after another came, and it seemed that a fierce battle between martial artists was inevitable within the Star Fruit Tree.

However, another piece of news followed. Yue Feng had taken the approach of winning over people’s hearts by offering five Star Crystals and 500 million cash. He had successfully drawn most of Lin Zhen’s supporters to his side.

As a result, the staff of the Star Fruit Tree had turned a blind eye, allowing a staff member to deliver a letter from Capital Gale to the platform, confirming the authenticity and validity of Yue Feng’s handwritten document.

Yue Zhenhua indeed loved his son deeply. Not wanting to spare any effort in supporting his son, he was willing to go shirtless for him.

This move was indeed effective, leaving Lin Zhen isolated. Guo MO secretly sighed in relief, thinking that with this, the internal battle within the Star Fruit Tree would not take place.

Based on the news from inside, people outside concluded that it was almost time for the martial artists inside the Tree to come out.

Many friends and relatives of the martial artists decided to come to the God Generals Training Camp in person to pick them up.

The news of the Star Fruit Tree was not to be leaked, but those who came were former students who had left before, so there were no secrets to them when it came to the Star Fruit Tree. So they were allowed to return to the God Generals Training Camp to take a look.

This included Yue Feng’s father, Yue Zhenhua.

Yue Zhenhua was an outstanding alumnus of the God Generals Training Camp, now a powerful figure in Hua Xia. He and Guo MO belonged to the same class, but Guo MO did not like Yue Zhenhua.

The two most outstanding people of their time were Guo MO and Yue Zhenhua. The two had been rivals since the beginning, fighting countless times, neither winning nor losing. The two had deep grudges, but now that Yue Zhenhua was in charge of Gale and Guo MO was at the God Generals Training Camp, their past conflicts were forgotten.

TThere were two other outstanding talents from their earlier classes, one was Chen Fenglie, and the other was Gongsun Du, the grandmaster of the Great Divine Sect in Capital Base City, and Su Mingyue’s master.

However, Gongsun Du did not come this time. As a Star Realm Expert, Gongsun Du was much more composed than Yue Zhenhua.

Upon Yue Zhenhua’s arrival, Guo MO reluctantly went out to greet him.

“Brother Yue, long time no see!” Guo MO shook hands with Yue Zhenhua.

“Indeed, it’s been many years since we graduated from the God Generals Training Camp. If it weren’t for me coming to pick up my son, I’m afraid we wouldn’t have the chance to meet.’

Yue Zhenhua exuded an imposing aura, his tall figure giving off a strong presence. Yue Feng inherited his temperament.

Guo MO looked at Yue Zhenhua: “It seems that Brother Yue’s strength has progressed even further, nearly at the Star Realm, right?”

“Hehe, it’s similar to yours, Brother Guo. We’re both making progress together.”

Guo MO had also been at the War God Peak for many years and had one foot in the Star Realm now.

There was a crucial period at the War God Peak: the Dantian within the body turns into a whirlwind, and this whirlwind condenses into the Star Core. Once the Star Core is successfully condensed, one becomes a Star Realm Expert.

From the time of the Dantian turning into a whirlwind to the formation of the Star Core, there’s a stage called the Quasi-Star Realm.

Now Guo MO and Yue Zhenhua were both at this stage, both Quasi-Star Realm experts, not far from reaching the Star Realm.

The two of them chatted while heading towards the Star Fruit Tree. Everyone followed behind, hoping to see the people they cared about leave the tree sooner rather than later.

Yue Zhenhua said, “My son has been making quite a stir in the tree this time. A few days ago, he even sent someone to have me help him with some papers, one worth five billion. This stinky kid is really trying to bankrupt his old man.

Thank vou. Brother Guo. for helping out.’

Yue Zhenhua laughed while talking down, yet brimming with self-confidence. It was apparent that he was well aware of his son’s plan and also supported and agreed with it.

Guo MO frowned slightly: “I made an exception for you this time, but I still advise Brother Yue to discipline your son well when he returns. He’s too lawless, daring to imprison Su Mingyue. Although the Great Divine Sect hasn’t made any statements, Gongsun Du must be unhappy about it.”

“Brother Guo need not worry about that. Young people’s feelings develop over time. It’s true that my son went beyond the boundaries, but I’ve heard that the two of them are even planning to have their wedding inside the fruit tree. If Su Mingyue didn’t like Feng Er, would she agree? Although Gongsun Du is from the Great Divine Sect, he can’t control who falls in love. We old fellows shouldn’t worry about the next generation.”

With Chen Fenglie’s support, Yue Zhenhua didn’t pay much mind to Gongsun Du. After all, Gale Martial Arts Hall and the Star Sky Divine Teaching were two separate entities, without much interaction, so there was no need to worry.

Guo MO disliked Yue Zhenhua’s attitude, which always put themselves at the center of everything. His face paled, “Lin Zhen is an exceptional Martial Artist, and the expectations for him at the training camp are high. It would be bad if something happened because of this.”

“Exceptional? What does that even mean? What kind of world is this? Mutated Beasts run rampant outside, and we don’t even want to provoke those S-level and above. It’s the end times! Only those who can survive are exceptional. If they die halfway through, they’re trash. Lin Zhen, a jumping clown, is nothing more.”

Listening to Yue Zhenhua’s words, Guo MO’s heart was filled with anger. If it had been in the past, the two of them would probably have had a verbal sparring, even coming to blows. But now that their positions and statuses were different, such actions could not be taken lightly, as it would only be a laughingstock for others.

Perhaps noticing that Guo MO was irritated, Yue Zhenhua tried to comfort him: “Brother Guo, just relax your heart. Isn’t the world of Martial Artists all about survival of the fittest? Take the God Generals Training Camp’s Five Trials, for example, many Martial Artists enter with their hearts full of justice and courage. But how many can maintain their original intentions in this environment? People change. Let them fight, and I, Yue Zhenhua, will not be unreasonable. If Feng Er loses to Lin Zhen, I won’t say a word!”

Guo MO sneered coldly: “What if your son is killed by Lin Zhen?”

“He’d deserve it for not learning his skills properly!” Yue Zhenhua widened his eyes, speaking loudly, but his words were insincere.

“Alright, let’s forget about it.” Guo MO didn’t want to waste words with him anymore.

At this moment, two people came down from the Star Fruit Tree.

“A Martial Artist has come out!”

A staff member shouted loudly, immediately drawing everyone’s attention.

Guo MO and Yue Zhenhua looked over and saw two women coming out, walking down the heavenly ladder, just reaching the ground.

Guo MO recognized both of them, members of the same class, the 492nd class. One was Ye Lanshan from God’s Grace Cathedral, and the other was Dong Shencai from Gale Martial Arts Hall, both strong in their own right.

Ye Lanshan had already broken through to the War God Realm, while Dong Shencai was still at the edge of breaking through, ready to enter the War God Realm at any moment.

Yue Zhenhua looked at Dong Shencai with a slight frown: “How have you come out alone? Where’s Feng Er?”

Dong Shencai paid her respects slightly to Yue Zhenhua: “Hall Master, Yue Feng is currently in a fierce battle with Lin Zhen. The fight is incredibly intense, and we couldn’t intervene, so we left first.”

“He still hasn’t taken down Lin Zhen? What is that kid doing!” Yue Zhenhua was somewhat dissatisfied.

At that time, Ye Lanshan asked Guo MO, “Has my junior sister returned to Base Guo MO was startled, “Are you talking about Su Mingyue?”

“Yes, she left yesterday. Didn’t you see her?”

Guo MO inquired with the staff, and everyone shook their heads, confirming that Su Mingyue had not left the Star Fruit Tree.

“Strange, she didn’t leave. Where did she go?” Ye Lanshan muttered to herself.

Yue Zhenhua couldn’t sit still, “I can’t stay here any longer, I have to go to the platform area to take a look. Brother Guo, can you accompany me?”

It wasn’t an excessive request. The platform area hadn’t entered the Crown District yet, so it was fine to take a look. Guo MO took Yue Zhenhua with him and headed towards the top platform of the Star Fruit Tree..
