Chapter 235 - 235: 235: The Secret of Lightning Wings (Third Update)
For Lin Zhen at present, Yi Lan posed no threat at all. Even if the A-level Mutant Beast, the giant palm bear, confronted him, Lin Zhen would easily kill it with a single shot.
The reason he came here was because no War God experts would come, so he could focus on studying the Lightning Wings in peace.
Three days later, on the top floor of a shopping mall in Yi Lan, Lin Zhen returned to the place where he had stayed before, and sat cross-legged on the rooftop.
The wings of the Lightning Wings unfolded behind him, and strands of lightning ion power entered them.
The Lightning Wings gently swayed behind Lin Zhen, with arcs of electricity leaping on them, a result of being nourished by the lightning ions.
“According to what I know from my previous life and my current research, I roughly understand that the Lightning Wings need to be nourished by elemental powers in order to advance. Only when each elemental power is saturated can it advance.”
“This advancement is a long process. After my initial estimate, the Lightning Wings’ advancement has about six stages.”
“First is its current state, the initial state. After three days of effort, I have now injected some lightning ions, and its speed has reached the subsonic state. As long as it can accelerate to supersonic speed, it will enter the first stage.”
“If I can fill it with the power of lightning ions, allowing it to reach saturation, and then inject charged particle power, its speed would probably increase to ten times the speed of sound. That would be the upgrade to the second stage; at that time, the Lightning Wings will be a top-quality Star Artifact.”
The speed of sound is 340 meters per second. If the Lightning Wings advance to a top-quality Star Artifact, it could accelerate Lin Zhen by 3400 meters per second. By then, Lin Zhen’s flying speed would be on par with his Black Ghost.
“This should only be the second stage. If I continue to nourish the Lightning
Wings with charged particles and break through with the power of Lightning Photons, it will continue to advance, reaching a hundred times the speed of sound. At that point, the Lightning Wings will move beyond being a mere Star
Artifact, advancing to the third stage and becoming a higher-level treasure.”
At a hundred times the speed of sound, it can accelerate 34,000 meters per second, which is more than 30 kilometers. By then, it would be even faster than teleportation.
Of course, teleportation also has its advantages. As Lin Zhen’s spiritual power continues to increase, the distance of teleportation will also grow longer, and its potential will be limitless, as well as more flexible.
“After the third stage, if I can saturate the Lightning Wings with the power of Lightning Photons and break through with the power of light molecules, it could reach a thousand times the speed of sound. It would be able to accelerate 340,000 meters per second, which is 300 kilometers. That would be the fourth stage. ”
“The fifth stage should involve filling it with the power of light molecules and breaking through with the power of Lightning Quantum. By then, the power of the Lightning Wings could reach ten thousand times the speed of sound, also known as sub-light speed. It would accelerate 3-4 million meters per second, which is over 3,000 kilometers.”
“The sixth stage should involve filling it with the power of Lightning Quantum and breaking through with the power of Light Quantum. At its peak, it should be able to achieve the speed of light, accelerating at 300,000 kilometers per second.”
Lin Zhen couldn’t help but smile at the thought of moving at the speed of light.
It took Lin Zhen three days, and he still needed some time for the Lightning Wings to reach the speed of sound. He didn’t know how long it would take to complete the first stage, let alone reach the speed of light, but he still felt happy.
He wasn’t afraid of a long cultivation time; he was only afraid of having no hope. As long as there was hope, Lin Zhen felt that he could sit still for a thousand years.
The Dark Star within his body slowly revolved, and strands of lightning ions overflowed from it, pouring into the Lightning Wings.
This was a long process. After three days, Lin Zhen finally felt that the Lightning Wings were showing a small breakthrough, almost reaching supersonic speed.
“I need to increase my output and strive to have the Lightning Wings reach supersonic speed today. Then, I will head to the Five Connected Pools as soon as possible. There are still three pools there that I haven’t explored.”
Now that he understood the nourishment process for the Lightning Wings, Lin Zhen began to accelerate the output of lightning ions. As long as he didn’t consume all the lightning ions at once, they would continue to regenerate thanks to the Dark Star’s existence.
On the edge of Yi Lan county town, a team of Martial Artists was marching with difficulty.
This was a standard team configuration, with three junior War Generals, two Level Nine Warriors. Their armored vehicle was parked on the edge of the county town, and several people were moving on foot.
After a bitter battle, several Mutant Deer had fallen at the feet of the team members, but they were also exhausted.
“Whew! What’s going on? Lately, the Mutated Beasts have become more and more violent. The aggressiveness of these Mutant Deer wasn’t so strong before. I feel like they’re about to advance, not like C-level Mutant Beasts anymore.”
“I feel it too. In the past two months, I’ve sensed something abnormal about the Mutated Beasts. Could it be that a monster is about to attack the city?”
“We wouldn’t be afraid even if they attacked the city. Our Ice City is now as solid as a rock, not just because of our strong army, but also because of our numerous super War Gods. For example, Lin Zhen from our Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, I believe that as long as he’s around, there will be no problem.”
These martial artists all had the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall badge on their chests, showing pride on their faces.
Ever since Lin Zhen was promoted a few days ago and took first place in the preliminaries, the Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall has become popular in the Ice City. Many martial artists joined, even some War Gods. Yang Jianying’s face was full of joy, as accepting Lin Zhen was indeed the right decision.
The original warriors and war generals from Blue Sky also became more motivated. They felt superior when walking outside. If Lin Zhen could achieve good results in the War God’s knockout, Blue Sky might be able to surpass Gale and become the number one martial arts hall in Ice City.
There were two Level Nine Warriors in the team, both of whom had recently joined Blue Sky after graduation. One was relatively quiet, the other more lively. Seeing several war generals discussing, he showed a look of envy: “Seniors, how old do you think Senior Lin Zhen is?”
“Are you from Mars? There are posters all over town now, and haven’t you seen the one with the first place in the massacre list, Lin Zhen? He’s the youngest and most handsome.”
“Ah! So that’s Lin Zhen? I’ve been too busy practicing these days and didn’t notice. He looks so young, probably about my age.” The student’s face showed disbelief.
“How old are you this year?” A war general asked while smoking.
“I’m nineteen. I guess I’ll break through to the War General Stage in about half a year.” The student felt quite proud.
“Hmph, what’s so great about being nineteen and not yet a war general? Senior Lin Zhen is only twenty years old now, and he’s already a Fifth-level War God. This is unprecedented in the history of Ice City. At this stage, only the Saintess of Gods Clan can be compared with Lin Zhen.”
“Twenty years old and already a Fifth-level War God? My God! Then he must have not compressed his Dantian Qi, right?”
“Bullshit! Without compressing Dantian Qi, can one be competitive in the World War God’s Knockout? It is said that Senior Lin Zhen compressed ten times his Dantian Qi.” The war general stretched out his hand, spreading his fingers, meaning ten times.
“This is unbelievable, compressing Dantian Qi is very time-consuming, how did he do that?” The warrior couldn’t believe it.
“That’s why they say he’s a genius, bound to advance to the Star Realm, the hope of our Ice City. So, with Senior Lin Zhen here, there’s no need to worry about monster attacks. It’s more important for us to focus on practicing and making money. With the reputation of Blue Sky, no one would dare to provoke us in the Wilderness Area.”
Just as they were engaged in a passionate discussion, a figure appeared on a small building nearby.
Hearing them repeatedly praising Lin Zhen, the person couldn’t help but jump down from the building: “You all, shut up!”
The war generals and warriors were all startled. They quickly turned around and held their weapons, looking at the newcomer.
The newcomer was a Level Nine War God, holding a long sword with murderous intent in his eyes.
“Ah! You are Bai Feng!” Someone recognized the War God in front of them.
Generally, high-level War Gods rarely come to the Wilderness Area, preferring to explore ancient god relics. However, Bai Feng was different. He specialized in wandering around various Wilderness Areas, competing for food with war general and warrior level teams. He had been scolded by many behind his back.
But although they scolded Bai Feng, without provoking other War Gods, they couldn’t blame him for being shameless, and didn’t dare to confront him directly.
The war general who recognized Bai Feng stammered: “Senior Bai Feng, we didn’t say anything bad about you.”
“True, you didn’t say anything bad about me, but it’s not okay for you to praise Lin Zhen!”
Waving his sword angrily, Bai Feng shouted, “What the hell is Lin Zhen? He’s just a despicable, shameless thief! I’ve looked into it. More than three years ago, Lin Zhen stole my hard-earned Dark Energy Stone in Yi Lan County. He laid out a confusing trail to mislead me. It’s because of that Dark Energy Stone that he has achieved what he has today. By the time I found out, he had already gone to the God Generals Training Camp and has now advanced to the War God’s Knockout. All this honor should have been mine, he is just a thief!”
Seeing Bai Feng’s emotional outburst, the war generals and warriors didn’t dare to speak, afraid of angering Bai Feng and risking a painful death.
Among the team, one of the quietest warriors suddenly burst out: “Nonsense! Three years ago, you were already a War God, and Senior Lin Zhen was just a warrior at that time. How could he have stolen from you? If you were able to be robbed, that means the item wasn’t yours yet. You cannot insult my idol!”
Bai Feng was stunned, then looked at the warrior with a sneer: “Oh my! What a
courageous fool! What’s your name? If you’re so adamant in defending Lin Zhen, aren’t you afraid I’ll kill you?”
“You dare not! My name is Wang Cheng, my classmates all call me Brother Cheng. I’m from Blue Sky, and so is Senior Lin Zhen. Aren’t you afraid that Senior Lin will seek revenge?” The warrior showed no fear.
“Pah! Would I be afraid of that coward? Fine, I’ll kill you today, let’s see if Lin Zhen dares to take revenge!” With that, Bai Feng raised his sword, ready to strike!
The rest of the team was stunned. If Bai Feng took action, they wouldn’t dare to interfere.
Bai Feng raised his sword but couldn’t help covering his eyes with his hand. Suddenly, he felt that today’s sunlight was particularly dazzling..
