Age of Evolution

After Lin Zhen had finished all this, he called out to Hansen on the other side:

“Hey! It’s time to go!”

Hansen had just killed a crab and, hearing Lin Zhen’s call, reluctantly ran over:

“Lin Zhen, the crabs here are delicious. Should we take some with us?” “You take it. I’ve already taken more than a dozen.”

Lin Zhen had already discovered the deliciousness of the crabs here, each of which weighed nearly a ton. The crab roe and crab meat inside satisfied his craving for good food.

The ancient God Ring that Lin Zhen had taken from Yue Feng had a vast space, and it was even a vacuum, allowing him to store food.

Since the space was so huge, and there was nothing but a lonely Black Ghost parked there, Lin Zhen had been idling and decided to collect a lot of crabs and store them inside for future consumption.

Hansen’s space ring wasn’t as big as Lin Zhen’s, and there wasn’t much space left after putting in one crab.

“Let’s go. This has been a failed mission trip. I can’t even beat you. No wonder the young lady told us not to take missions from the East. Lin, are all the martial artists from the East as strong as you?”

Lin Zhen glanced at Hansen: “I’m just a special case.”

“Well, that’s good. If everyone was as strong as you, there would be no need to hold a War God’s Knockout. We might as well just admit that the War God Alliance’s number one is Hua Xia.”

The two ascended into the air and headed straight for the entrance of the Five Connected Pools.

As they left, Lin Zhen looked back. There were still three volcanic lakes unexplored behind them, and there were even better things inside. But he didn’t have time now, so he could only come back after the preliminaries were over. Hopefully, by then, there wouldn’t be too many people here.

The two of them came out of the entrance of the Five Connected Pools. Hansen looked around and, not finding Alice’s aircraft, scratched his head awkwardly: “Alice didn’t come to pick me up; she’s not a good friend.”

He even went to the guard: “Hey, pervert bro, have you seen a white aircraft around?”

The guard was still the one who had been there when Lin Zhen and Hansen had entered. It was his shift this month. He looked at Hansen angrily: “What pervert?”

“You’re the pervert. Thanks to you not harassing Alice last time, otherwise you would have turned into mud by now.”

Only then did the guard remember who Hansen was: “Ah, you’re talking about that Western girl. Yeah, she’s been here before, more than ten days ago. But seeing you didn’t come out, she left and asked me to tell you to call her. She also said that since you took the mission privately, you’re a dead man once you come out.”

The guard spoke with some schadenfreude.

“Oh! What happened? My private mission wasn’t my decision. They only blame me when it fails. Why didn’t they wait for me? Oh well, I better make the call.” Hansen pulled out his mobile phone with a worried frown.

“You make the call, but think about how to explain it to your accomplices.”

Hansen nodded: “Lin, it’s not a big deal if I can’t complete the mission, but since I’ve failed, Alice will definitely come after you. She’s a Level Nine War

God, much stronger than me. You must be careful.”

“It doesn’t matter. A martial artist’s life is about constantly facing challenges. I’ll just wait for her to come.”

“Alright, I’ll see you in the War God’s Knockout then. Just don’t get eliminated too early. ”

Hansen started calling Alice to pick him up. Judging from his tone, it seemed like Alice was not far away and would arrive soon.

Lin Zhen didn’t want to have a face-to-face meeting with other killers, so he took out the Black Ghost, and amidst Hansen’s shouts of admiration, he soared into the sky.

After returning to Ice City, Lin Zhen didn’t fly back to the city. Instead, he landed outside the city and walked in, slowly strolling down the main street of Ice City.

At this time, the weather was pleasant and the streets bustling with people in Ice City.

Lin Zhen walked in the eastern district of the city where martial artists lived, and the streets were filled with ads for the War God’s Knockout.

“Support Ice City contestants, the Ice City War Gods are about to shine globally!”

“Raise your hands to pray for the Ice City War Gods, so they can successfully pass the preliminaries.”

“The head of the academy will personally join the battle, an invincible challenger among lambs. Tong Yuehu, the head of the academy, has announced that he will personally participate in the War God’s Knockout!” “Horsepower is measured by the distance. Please support Gale’s Ma Yao.” “Long Wind War God Duo Long, the hope of Ice City!”

“The King returns! Please support Dragon-slaying Academy’s Xin Rughai!”

“Shadow Dance…”

There were promotional posters all over the street. Each martial arts academy had its own contestants on large posters.

Under each poster, many martial artists had signed and written their blessings, hoping that this contestant would achieve good results in the War God’s Knockout.

Lin Zhen had nothing else to do, so he strolled around and looked at the posters one by one.

Tong Yuehu’s poster was in the front. As the head of the number one martial arts academy, he received the most attention. Although many martial artists were unhappy with him, most chose to support him in the unprecedented global competition of the War God’s Knockout.

Behind Tong Yuehu were Ma Yao and Wei Li, two powerful War Gods who also competed for Gale. They were the three main forces of Gale, and the academy mainly relied on them to achieve good results.

Of course, in addition to these three, there were dozens of other Gale War Gods, who received varying degrees of support, just not as popular as these three.

After walking past the promotion area of Gale, he arrived at Long Wind’s promotion area.

Changfeng’s first poster featured a martial artist with a deep gaze, a Level Nine War God in his thirties named Duo Long, who was Ice City Chang Feng’s main force.

Lin Zhen had some impression of this person, as in the battle that led to Ice City Base City’s fall, Duo Long led Changfeng’s martial artists to fight for several days. They managed to escape before the city’s collapse, displaying remarkable courage, deeply impressing everyone.

Similarly, in the next promotion area, Dragon-slaying Academy’s Xin Rughai was also a Level Nine War God. He was responsible for covering their retreat, an act that earned him the astonishment of slaying nineteen A-level Mutant Beasts consecutively.

Lin Zhen had some impression of the remaining martial artists; some he could remember vaguely, while others he couldn’t recall at all, guessing they were probably nothing exceptional.

He reached the tenth-ranked Academy’s promotion area and saw Blue Sky’s poster.

Blue Sky only had a single lonely poster, displaying Lin Zhen’s full-body image.

“Blue Sky’s Lin Zhen will definitely achieve great results.”

Such a dry statement made Lin Zhen scratch his head. Couldn’t Yang Jianying think of a better phrase, such as defeating the Russians on that day?

But then again, considering that those Russians he defeated were also recruited by Blue Sky, Lin Zhen understood Yang Jianying’s dilemma.

Looking around, there were thousands of Ice City War God contestants, but Blue Sky was the poorest among them. The League’s areas, like the military and church, were far stronger than Blue Sky in comparison.

Although Lin Zhen felt he was younger and more handsome than those War Gods, his lonely poster in the corner lacked any sort of imposing aura. Lin Zhen walked up to the poster and noticed the many signatures beneath it.

“Go Lin Zhen! I have faith in you.”

“Hope Lin Zhen relives the glory of the War General Stage and secures a preliminary selection spot for Ice City.”

“The unwanted trash from Gale joined Blue Sky, that traitorous martial art academy. Lin Zhen, go to hell!”

“What can a Primary War God achieve? Blue Sky has fallen, and Lin Zhen is worthless. ”

Some people offered blessings, while others hurled insults. Lin Zhen had experienced this ever since he started practicing martial arts, so he didn’t mind these comments. He glanced over them and prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to walk away, he suddenly stopped.

In the corner of the poster, a line of elegant handwriting caught his eye. “Perform well, I’ll be waiting for you at the ends of the earth.”

These words were inconspicuous in the corner, only noticeable upon closer inspection. Yet, it was certain they were not written by a man.

The handwriting reflected the person; someone capable of penning such graceful characters must be a lovely girl.

Lin Zhen looked closely, unable to figure out who might have written it. The tone suggested it was someone he knew.

However, the content of the message left Lin Zhen feeling confused. Who was waiting for him at the ends of the earth, and where was it?

“Maybe it’s a dreamy female fan. After all, I’m so handsome.”

Lin Zhen chuckled, turned around, and headed out of the martial art academy area, planning to go home.

At that moment, a timid little girl approached him, “Big brother, would you like to buy a War God Manual? Many of the strong contestants in this War God’s Knockout are in it.”

Lin Zhen lowered his head to look at the girl, who seemed to be only seven or eight years old and appeared to be living in poor conditions. She was dressed in shabby clothes, and her big, black and bright eyes reminded Lin Zhen of a deer in the jungle.

She was holding a stack of books that contained introductions to the participants in the current War God’s Knockout.

Lin Zhen couldn’t tell who compiled these books. With the widespread use of the internet, much of this information could be found online, which meant that the bookstores would likely not sell well.

However, seeing the little girl’s face, Lin Zhen squatted down and said, “All right, I’ll buy one. How much is it?”

“One hundred yuan per book.”

Lin Zhen took a book and handed the girl a one-thousand-yuan bill, “Take this, now go home.”

The little girl shook her head, “No, Weiwei can’t take extra money from others. One hundred is enough.”

Seeing the girl’s persistence, Lin Zhen smiled and took out a one-hundred-yuan bill, passing it to Weiwei, “Weiwei is well-behaved and a good child. Remember to keep this attitude.”

“Mhm, thank you, big brother. Just now, a very beautiful big sister also said the same thing to Weiwei.”

“Really? That beautiful? Where is she?” Lin Zhen casually asked.

“Big sister left on a flying vehicle. She signed just over here and then bought one of Weiwei’s books.”

The little girl casually pointed, and Lin Zhen froze.

Because the position the girl pointed out was precisely the corner of his poster.

Weiwei took the money and happily skipped away, while Lin Zhen took a deep breath.

A beautiful girl, huh…. Who could she be?</p
