Age of Evolution

Chapter 275: 275: Transforming Huo Luofu

Lin Zhen didn’t hesitate and flicked the die immediately, and the result was one thousand three hundred and thirty-seven.

Zhang Zhen laughed loudly, “You’re done for this round, no chance to win.” Lin Zhen ignored him and passed the box to the next person. The next one was Wu Hai, who rolled out one thousand two hundred and thirty, even lower than Lin Zhen’s score.

After that, Luo Fei fared even worse with one thousand two hundred and twenty-five. Qin Huashang rolled the highest score of two thousand three hundred and thirty-eight.

Zhang Zhen finally felt a bit more balanced, thinking that he would eventually get something in this round. The value of a High Grade Celestial Sword was indeed not bad.

He confidently flicked the dice, but the last three dices stopped on one thousand one hundred and twenty-four.

“Damn it! What kind of luck is this!” Zhang Zhen was very annoyed that he still couldn’t win even like this.

The High -grade Astral Sword went to Qin Huashang, who was delighted, not Imowing that Lin Zhen intentionally let her win as a reward for defending him before.

After obtaining the Flame Crystal, Lin Zhen put it away. The Dark Star within him was already infused with Flame Power, and the Flame Crystal could only be considered an added bonus.

Lin Zhen had an idea in his mind – he wanted to master at least seven element

Dowers before entering the Star Realm and completelv infuse the Seven Stars Knife. Otherwise, there would be no opportunity to infuse the Seven Stars Knife after entering the Star Realm.

He had already infused the most challenging-to-obtain elements of light, electricity, and gold, as well as cold and fire within the Dark Star. He still needed two more element powers.

Lin Zhen wanted the Wind Element and Earth Element. Once all these elemental powers were assembled, the Dark Star within him would genuinely become a planet.

However, completing the absorption of seven elemental energies before entering the Star Realm had probably never been attempted before, and Lin Zhen didn’t know what his Dantian would look like at that time.

Over the next three days, the group slowly advanced on the first floor but didn’t obtain any more Elemental Crystals. However, they bet on four High Grade Celestial weapons, and everyone except Zhang Zhen won at least once, which left him extremely frustrated.

When there was free time, Lin Zhen would use crystals to mix potions and try to improve his Dantian Qi, which slowly started advancing towards the Late Stage Seventh-level War God.

Li Yao had been outside the Ancient God Ruins for several days, but he didn’t find any trace of Lin Zhen when he first arrived.

Although Lin Zhen left Ice City with the Black Ghost while wearing a metallic mask, he didn’t use his real name when he arrived here, so nobody knew that Lin Zhen had come.

After searching for two days without success, Li Yao eventually resorted to an inefficient method: investigating the members of small teams one by one to see if anyone had a mask or something similar.

To achieve this goal, he even spent more than a billion dollars and took a whole seven days to find out that twelve people wearing masks had entered the Ancient God City.

With the list in hand, Li Yao gritted his teeth and said, “Lin Zhen, you’d better not die in the Ancient God City, or else things will get really boring.”

He knew that looking into these twelve people wouldn’t be an easy task and that it would probably offend many people; but as long as he could take down Lin Zhen, it would all be worth it.

While Lin Zhen was exploring the Ancient God City and Li Yao was investigating the list, at the end of the fourth floor of the Ancient God City, there was an upward staircase leading to a room where the captain of the Red Rose, Shu Mingxuan, was located.

Dressed in his tattered captain’s uniform, Shu Mingxuan looked at the giant man in front of him.

With red eyes, Huo Luofu stood in front of Shu Mingxuan, his face still showing a hint of excitement.

“It’s rare for someone controlled by a brain parasite to have such a strong desire for revenge. Huo Luofu, do you really want to kill Lin Zhen that badly?”

“Yes, master, Lin Zhen ruined everything for me. I can’t even go back to Sand Russia now. Everyone knows that my breakthrough wasn’t normal. If I appear rashly, I’ll be hunted down and studied by Star Realm Experts. Moreover, I’m not confident that I can defeat Lin Zhen at the moment. I hope my master can grant me even greater strength.”

Shu Mingxuan shook his head slightly, “I’m not a god, and I can’t truly grant you power. However, considering your situation, you are an ideal candidate to become a super-warrior. I do need someone to replace me in my external activities. I’ll modify your body first to greatly increase your flexibility and agility – at least making you dozens of times faster than you are now.”

Upon hearing this, Huo Luofu’s eyes lit up. What he lacked the most was speed. Fearless against mental power, he had immense strength. But his speed was a fatal weakness. If the weakness was removed, his strength would surely double!

Shu Mingxuan led Huo Luofu into his inner room, which had a huge glass tank three meters tall.

He instructed Huo Luofu to enter the tank, filled it with nutritive liquid, and inserted tubes all over his body. He then added a large amount of Mutated Beast Genetic Fluid, each designed to enhance agility.

However, a substance containing poison was quietly dissolving within the water.

As Huo Luofu slowly closed his eyes under the influence of the poison, Shu Mingxuan sneered, “Surely, you can greatly increase your agility, but you will pay a heavy price for it. Your soul will vanish, and I’ll be able to sink my spiritual power within it. You will become a mere extension of me. Hahaha! Once the transformation is complete, I can leave this place without incurring any danger!”

“Great! Huo Luofu’s body is so strong. After the transformation, his fighting power will surely increase. Delicious food, beautiful women, and everything else outside, I, Shu Mingxuan, will be free to enjoy!”

Shu Mingxuan was very happy. After staying here for so many years, he didn’t dare to go out. If he was caught by the people of Earth, he’d be in big trouble, so he dared not leave.

He believed that his empire would definitely come looking for him because his spaceship contained a valuable treasure that the empire would certainly want to retrieve. So, he didn’t dare to risk leaving the ship. Once the treasure had issues, his death would be certain.

A few days ago, he finally received a message from an exploration ship. The people who came looking for him from the empire had arrived.

Since they found him, it wouldn’t take many years for the imperial army to arrive here.

The exploration ship’s crew had no authority to command him, and they didn’t even know about the treasure’s existence. They were just the people ordered to search for him. In other words, Shu Mingxuan still had about three or four years of carefree time.

His main body had to stay here to guard the Red Rose, so he decided to completely transform Huo Luofu into his own avatar to move freely in the world.

At first, he wanted to transform Lin Zhen because Lin Zhen had greater strength and potential, and a better chance to win the War God’s Knockout.

Moreover, there was another factor: Lin Zhen was endowed with better “equipment” below than Huo Luofu. Even though Huo Luofu’s was already very strong, Lin Zhen was born with extraordinary talents, making it more comfortable to use.

Additionally, Lin Zhen had two stunning girlfriends. If he could turn Lin Zhen into an avatar, it would be incredibly enjoyable.

Unfortunately, the brain worm failed. Helplessly, Shu Mingxuan had to settle for the next best thing and ultimately chose Huo Luofu.

Huo Luofu entered the Star Realm but was defeated by Lin Zhen in the War

God’s Knockout. This annoyed Shu Mingxuan very much. After summoning Huo Luofu, he decided to completely erase this person’s soul and will and refine him into an avatar.

Now the refinement had begun, and Shu Mingxuan eagerly awaited the moment of success.

“Roar!”

A huge Hammer Dragon roared out of the bushes, spewing a massive wind blade from its mouth, instantly cutting down a large swath of grass and trees. The team members quickly dodged.

Two Winged Dragons circled in the sky, ready to attack at any time.

“An Ming, distract those two Winged Dragons. The rest of us will join together to kill this Hammer Dragon. It’s an S-level Mutated Beast.”

Lin Zhen rode on a shield to take off. To conceal his identity, he didn’t even wear his Cloud-stepping boots; instead, he used a Lower Grade Star Artifact shield under his feet as a carrier.

The two Quasi-S-tier Winged Dragons chased Lin Zhen from behind, with Lin Zhen maneuveuring in the sky at moderate speed.

Wu Hai and the others attacked in unison below. After all, Wu Hai was a quasi-Star Realm master. With the cooperation of the others, he used Rock Spike several times in a row, piercing the Hammer Dragon’s belly.

The Hammer Dragon struggled in agony. Its thick tail slammed over, accompanied by a wind blade, which heavily injured and caused Zhang Zhen to vomit blood due to recklessness!

Taking advantage of this situation, the others swarmed the beast and finally defeated the S-level Mutated Beast.

By then, Lin Zhen had killed one of the Winged Dragons and dived down with the other one, allowing Luo Fei and Qin Huashang to quickly finish it off.

“Captain, give me the Hammer Dragon’s crystal. I am a Wind Element user, and this crystal would help me break through. Let’s not gamble on it this time.”

Zhang Zhen had been working so hard just to get this Wind Element crystal, but others wanted it just as badly. Why should he have the best thing? So, Lin Zhen and the other two opposed the request.

Wu Hai eventually agreed to the gambling request. Feeling helpless, Zhang

Zhen grabbed the dice in frustration: “Let me start. I’ll lose anyway.” Lin Zhen didn’t interfere, thinking that he could surpass Zhang Zhen’s score in the end anyway.

But surprisingly, Zhang Zhen rolled three sixes this time!

“Hahaha! My luck finally exploded! This S-level Wind Element crystal is mine!

Who can take my stuff this time?”

Wu Hai gave up, Luo Fei gave up, and Qin Huashang gave up too. Just when Zhang Zhen was about to claim the crystal, Lin Zhen asked, “Captain, what if two people have the same score?”

Wu Hai hesitated for a moment, “Then they have a rematch until a winner is decided.. “
