Age of Evolution

Chapter 586: Chapter 487: Breaking Through the Heavenly Gate!

There were three people in front of Lin Zhen, one man and two women, a total of four including Lin Zhen.

There was probably someone else is attempting the trial ahead, and these people were waiting for their turn.

Two of these three were at the Star System Stage, with the short-haired man at a Tier Nine Star System level. He appeared quite powerful, at least equivalent to the level of the Five ghosts Lin Zhen had encountered before, with a Star Power of over 15,000.

The two women also looked pretty good. One of them was at the Black Hole Period and was clinging to the short-haired man, seemingly a couple or spouses.

This woman’s Star Power was also impressive, around 2,000. A Black Hole Period martial artist with 2,000 Star Power was undoubtedly very strong. An average Star System Early Stage martial artist had less than a thousand Star Power, so she could be considered a genius.

The other woman was also at the Star System Stage, with over 10,000 Star Power. She was as powerful as Xuan Jiang, looking incredibly beautiful. Even when compared to Yue’er and An Ning, she wouldn’t fall too short. In an ordinary Life Star, she could be called the top beauty.

When Lin Zhen arrived, the gazes of the few people fell on him.

“Oh, a handsome young man has arrived!” The beautiful woman at the Star System Stage laughed. Her smile was enchanting, making the Black Hole Period beauty beside her seem a little dull in comparison.

Lin Zhen’s appearance was undoubtedly outstanding, surpassing most men in handsomeness.

Martial Artists could usually figure out each other’s true age. Lin Zhen, being over a hundred years old, was considered very young here.

The short-haired man holding the Black Hole Period woman sneered, “Zhu Lingshan, why are you so shallow, only judging people by their appearance? Can being handsome fill your stomach? Is being handsome a sign of strength? Men rely on power. If it’s based on looks, there are plenty of pretty boys with better looks than him that are kept by female martial artists. Why don’t you go find one for yourself?”

“Sun Liang, are you an idiot? What does my praising someone else’s looks have to do with you? You’re just jealous.”

“I’m jealous of him for what?! For a Black Hole Period rookie like him, I could crush him with just one finger! Do I need to be jealous? Not to mention me, even my Xiaodie is stronger than him. She is your sister; you can’t deny that. Look at this newcomer, hiding his star power, he must be afraid of people laughing at him. What can someone like him do? Rely on his face for a living or use it as a credit card? He’s just attracting women like you.”

The woman named Xiaodie also giggled and cast a glance at Lin Zhen before turning her eyes away haughtily.

Zhu Lingshan huffed, “Sun Liang, I know what you are up to. Since you failed to woo me, you deliberately found this woman whom I can’t stand to disgust me. She is not my sister anyway.”

Xiaodie cooed, “Sis, we are half-sisters with the same father. How can you talk like that? You’ve really hurt your sister’s feelings. If you are jealous, why don’t you marry Sun Liang too? We can follow the example of E Huang and Nv Ying, sisters serving one husband together. I won’t mind.”

Zhu Lingshan, pointing at Zhu Xiaodie, said, “Don’t talk to me. If I knew you guys would follow me here, I wouldn’t have come to endure this humiliation. I would rather spend 100 billion elsewhere!”

Seeing Zhu Lingshan upset, Sun Liang and Zhu Xiaodie’s eyes showed a hint of triumph.

Lin Zhen could clearly see that these two were deliberately provoking Zhu Lingshan, intending to upset her, so she would perform poorly during the Heavenly Gate trial.

Lin Zhen had a good impression of this woman, who seemed genuine and unaffected. Moreover, she had spoken up for him, so Lin Zhen didn’t mind helping her out.

“My dear sister, take it easy and don’t fall into their trap.”

Zhu Lingshan suddenly came to her senses, “Young man, you’re right, I can’t do anything that would make them laugh at me.”

Seeing Zhu Lingshan calm down quickly, Sun Liang, and Zhu Xiaodie both felt annoyed.

“You little brat! Don’t meddle in other people’s affairs! Didn’t your mother teach you that?”

Lin Zhen smiled, “My mother taught me a lot, but what I remembered most was that when you encounter someone who spews crap, don’t hold back and deal with them when necessary!”

“Bastard! I see you’re looking for death!”

Sun Liang couldn’t hold back anymore. In his eyes, a Black Hole Period ant like Lin Zhen actually dared to challenge him, which was absolutely intolerable.

Just as Sun Liang seemed ready to make a move, the white-haired old man in front of them suddenly turned around, “Anyone who wants to act recklessly here, I can make you evaporate from the face of the earth!”

With the World King speaking, Sun Liang immediately deflated, his face turning red with anger. Pointing at Lin Zhen and Zhu Lingshan, he said, “Fine, fine, fine! I won’t bother with you today. We’ll see who does better in the Heavenly Gate trial. Zhu Lingshan, I’ll compete with you. Xiaodie, that smelly brat is also at the Black Hole Period. Are you confident you can crush him?”

Zhu Xiaodie glanced disdainfully at Lin Zhen: “He’s just a pretty face, not worth mentioning!”

“Zhu Lingshan, dare to give it a try? Loser cuts off one hand!”

Zhu Lingshan, looking at Sun Liang and Zhu Xiaodie, remained silent.

She was not as strong as Sun Liang, and she estimated that Lin Zhen would also be weaker than Zhu Xiaodie. Her own sister had a very high Black Hole Period strength, she wouldn’t fall into their trap.

But she couldn’t help feeling frustrated.

“Oh, my all-powerful sister who always outshines me has chickened out, huh? Liang, this is really rare!”

Zhu Xiaodie laughed with her cheeks trembling, her face appearing somewhat sharp and harsh.

Zhu Lingshan tightly pursed her lips without speaking, her chest heaving. She was clearly enraged. If not for the fact that she had already paid the money, she would really like to leave immediately.

Just then, Lin Zhen suddenly spoke up, “If we’re going to compete, let’s go. So, it’s two pairs of competitors, right?”

“Yes! What, are you really going to compete?”

“Of course, the losing team will have one person’s arm chopped off. Dare to accept?”

“Hahaha, hahaha! Alright, I want to see if you’ll chop off your arm or Zhu Lingshan will when your team loses.” Sun Liang hesitated for a second, then agreed with a big laugh.

He thought that the newcomer was a bit stupid; they already had a guaranteed victory, yet he still wanted to step in. Perhaps he had some special healing medicine, so his hand could grow back after it’s severed.

It was apparent that his real motive was to impress the beautiful Zhu Lingshan and seize the opportunity to get close to her. This kind of trick was already old and overused to Sun Liang.

As for the possibility of Lin Zhen being very strong, he didn’t believe it at all because, according to his common sense, a martial artist in the Black Hole Stage was simply trash.

But he added another condition: “However, when it comes to chopping off the arm, you can’t do it yourself. Someone from the opposing team must do it.”

“Fine, if we lose, I’ll have my arm chopped off. If you lose, you choose someone for me to chop off their arm.”

“Deal!”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Lingshan’s face changed, “Don’t be impulsive.”

“Don’t worry, sister. My arm can regenerate if it’s severed.” Lin Zhen winked at Zhu Lingshan, looking confident.

Zhu Lingshan sighed, not wanting to say anything more. However, she secretly made up her mind that if they really lost, she would sever her own arm. Her arm could also regenerate, so it wasn’t a big deal.

But she didn’t want to owe anyone anything. Although she noticed that Lin Zhen was quite handsome before, at this moment, he seemed too reckless.

The World King over there didn’t care about their matters, as long as he got money.

Now that the bet was established, the people competing at the Heavenly Gate soon returned, silent and leaving without a word, clearly, their results were not satisfactory.

After this person returned, it was Zhu Lingshan’s turn.

Zhu Xiaodie cheerfully said, “Go ahead, sister, we’ve all just arrived here recently and are challenging the Heavenly Gate for the first time. You should perform well and not lose confidence during your first attempt.”

Zhu Lingshan didn’t respond to her and walked towards the Heavenly Gate.

Several people watched Zhu Lingshan’s back, as her slender figure drew many people’s gazes, even in a remote corner. After all, a beautiful woman always attracted attention.

Below the Heavenly Gate, there were impact points left by the gods of the Original World. People had to ascend from there, and there were even clearly marked distances.

Starting from the base of the Life Pillar to the top of the Heavenly Gate, it was exactly one million kilometers – not a millimeter off.

Looking up from below, the sky above was dark and deep, the deepest point being the Original World that people longed for.

The Dimensional Universe Company had set up screens at each ascension point to clearly record the martial artists’ experiences while challenging the Heavenly Gate, allowing people at the lowest point to see their impact situation.

“Look at that, she’s quite a dish, really top-notch.”

“Yeah! We have no such beauties in our hometown. She is too far away, I wonder about her strength.”

“Ordinary beautiful people tend to have no strength, as they are used to relying on their looks. However, if martial artists are beautiful, they tend to have great strength, which proves that they don’t rely on looks.”

“Makes sense, that’s why I’m so powerful.”

“Get lost, your face is too ugly; you have no other choice but to work hard.”

People chatted away, their eyes focused on the left screen, watching Zhu Lingshan’s impact situation.

Zhu Lingshan took a deep breath and then leaped into the air!

Her graceful figure soared into the sky at a speed already reaching thousands of times the speed of sound!

One hundred kilometers… three hundred kilometers… five hundred kilometers… one thousand kilometers!

In Lin Zhen’s view, Zhu Lingshan’s speed was quite fast, but many martial artists in other positions shook their heads slightly, as it seemed hopeless.

With this impact speed, it was impossible for her to surpass one hundred thousand kilometers, which meant she hadn’t even achieved one-tenth of the impact value.

After all, they had been here for a long time and had seen many people challenging the gate, so they could roughly estimate someone’s performance at a glance.

As expected, Zhu Lingshan slowed down after reaching twenty thousand kilometers, struggled at thirty thousand kilometers, and had nearly no Star Power left at forty thousand kilometers.

In the end, she exhausted all her strength, her sweat drenched her clothes, wrapping her delicate body and revealing her curves. Despite her efforts, her final impact progress was only fifty thousand kilometers before she failed.

One-twentieth of the progress, that was Zhu Lingshan’s final result.

Challenging the Heavenly Gate was indeed very difficult!
