Chapter 258 - 258: 258: The Meeting of the Two Girls (Fourth Update)

No matter how great the loss, they had to bring down Lin Zhen’s aircraft!

One after another, the latest military UFOs took off and began chasing. These military UFOs were of the same model as the Black Ghost and had similar speeds, trailing Lin Zhen as they pursued him eastward.

For a while, they couldn’t catch up but couldn’t be shaken off either.

This incident caused an uproar worldwide.

It was during the War God’s Knockout, and Lin Zhen, as one of the top thirty-two, had forced his way into Paris Base City, killed over a hundred War Gods to rescue his girlfriend, and personally killed the Star Realm Expert Old John. The popularity of the incident immediately overshadowed the War God’s Knockout itself.

People from all over the world expressed their opinions on forums.

First and foremost were Hua Xia’s.

“I support Lin Zhen! Lin Zhen is so handsome! This is like a one-man army going for thousands of miles! He managed to take down even the Star Realm Expert; Lin Zhen is sure to win!”

“So, Lin Zhen has been hiding his strength all along. He didn’t even exert his full force during the early stages of the War God’s knockout. Star Realm Experts are no match for him, let alone those War Gods who haven’t reached the Star Realm.”

“No wonder Lin Zhen was able to shout out for everyone to celebrate in advance before the start of the War God’s Knockout. He had enough confidence, and everyone else could just go home.”

However, the opinions from other countries were not as one-sided as Hua Xia’s.

For example, Sand Russia’s War God Huo Luofu said: “I admire Lin Zhen’s courage, but he is definitely not one of us. Those who collude with Mutated Beasts should be completely erased from this world. Whoever dares to harbor him is a common enemy of humanity.”

Shah from India said: “Although Lin Zhen defeated the Star Realm Expert, he didn’t do it alone. The Mutated Beast played a significant role. I hope Lin Zhen can show up at the War God’s Knockout tomorrow. I hope I can be assigned to the same group as him through the draw; I will personally show him that his strength is not enough.”

Ai Er from the European Union said: “Lin Zhen kidnapped Chris, my goddess. Lin Zhen, you should be grateful that I wasn’t in Paris just now, or you wouldn’t have been able to achieve your goal. I hope you have enough guts not to be absent from the War God’s Knockout just because of minor injuries. That would make me look down on you. I hope to have a fair fight with you at the

War God’s Knockout. I won’t give up on Chris, no matter if she’s called Chris or

An Ning.”

Many foreign War Gods also expressed their views, stating that although Lin Zhen had defeated the Star Realm Expert, his own strength was not that strong, and they would definitely defeat Lin Zhen at the War God’s Knockout tomorrow.

This view was fiercely rebutted by Hua Xia’s War Gods. People with eyes could see that Lin Zhen was already seriously injured and could not participate in tomorrow’s War God’s Knockout. In this situation, their clamoring would only be taking advantage of Lin Zhen’s precarious state; they should wait until Lin Zhen has recovered and then fight him again.

Of course, it’s not all one-sided from foreign countries, and not everyone is against Lin Zhen. According to statistics, Old John killed even more people during the fight than Lin Zhen did, and many were innocent civilians.

As for the Mutated Beast that Lin Zhen was carrying, nobody could name it, and it did not seem like a Mutated Beast considering its fighting intelligence and obedience.

Arguments raged back and forth online, but people agreed on one thing: Lin Zhen definitely wouldn’t participate in tomorrow’s competition. Even if he did, there wouldn’t be much he could do in his current state, as everyone saw the scene where An Ning carried Lin Zhen onto the aircraft.

Aboard the Black Ghost, An Ning tearfully embraced Lin Zhen, busily treating his wounds.

Lin Zhen just smiled and touched An Ning’s hair with a calm heart.

Although he couldn’t participate in the War God’s Knockout, Lin Zhen was satisfied. It didn’t matter if he couldn’t participate, as long as he saved An Ning.

Some things can be discarded, while some people and events absolutely cannot be forsaken.

“You’re still laughing? You’re in the mood to laugh?” An Ning looked at Lin Zhen’s numerous injuries and teared up.

“Why not laugh? Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for today? At last, An Ning, you’re finally back by my side.”

“Hmph!” An Ning snorted, wanting to say something about Su Mingyue but ultimately not speaking. She was content enough with Lin Zhen’s actions for her, so she didn’t want to fight for anything anymore and let everything take its course.

Seeing that Lin Zhen was no longer in critical danger and that Old John’s last attack hadn’t damaged his heart, An Ning finally relaxed: ‘You fool, don’t ever do something this dangerous again.”

“Don’t worry, there’s no one else in the world worth doing this for,” Lin Zhen gently held An Ning’s hand.

An Ning sighed and let him hold it, her face slightly unnatural.

She was more open-minded than Su Mingyue, and her previous relationship with Lin Zhen allowed her to face this love more calmly.

The silence inside the Black Ghost continued as Lin Zhen slowly closed his eyes and began to heal. In his heart, he was still unwilling to give up on the War God’s Knockout.

The European Union’s chase UFOs continued to follow, but they never caught up to the Black Ghost. Time passed, and half an hour later, they had Ice City Base City in sight.

An Ning contacted the Ice City Defense Army at the control console, and this time, instead of an infrared scan, a City Defense Army soldier responded directly through audio.

“Mr. Lin Zhen, Miss An Ning, you can enter the city directly without having to go through inspection. We’ve all seen the live broadcast, don’t worry. If those European Union bastards dare to break in, I, Zhang Erniu, will shoot them down one by one with my cannon.”

Alter nangmg up tne communicator, Lin znen’s BlacK unost returnea directly to Jiangbei Villa.

Behind him, the European Union’s flying saucer pursued, trying to negotiate with the Ice City’s City Defense Army. Unexpectedly, the other party’s attitude was tough, and they resolutely did not allow the European Union’s flying saucer to enter the city.

A European Union flying saucer tried to break through, not expecting the laser cannon below to open fire immediately.

The laser cannon operator, Zhang Erniu, was extremely arrogant, claiming that he could shoot down one in three shots and even considered it a loss to use one more shot. In the end, he really shot down the European Union’s fighter plane with just two shots.

“You wait! You are harboring Lin Zhen, the enemy of humanity; this is an open declaration of war against the European Union!”

“Bullshit! You’re trying to break into our Ice City; you have no right to complain! Keep yapping and we’ll turn you all into fireworks!”

Facing the unyielding City Defense Army, the European Union personnel were helpless, ultimately having no choice but to return to base and wait for negotiations at the upper levels.

News of Zhang Erniu blasting the European Union fighter plane also spread, causing a wave of praise within Hua Xia and making him famous as well.

As the Black Ghost landed, Lin Liye and Li Qin anxiously waited. Seeing An Ning helping Lin Zhen off the vehicle, they quickly stepped forward: “Son, how are you now?

“Mom and Dad don’t worry, Martial Artists are either injuring others or getting injured every day. What’s a little injury? Just need to rest and recover.”

Li Qin saw that Lin Zhen was indeed not in danger, and her heart loosened. Glancing at An Ning, she thought that her son was truly capable. His girlfriends were like heavenly beauties one after another. Su Mingyue needed no introduction, and An Ning was not bad either, said to be the young lady of the An family.

As Ice City residents, there was no one who didn’t know about the An family, an incredibly large financial group. In recent years, their business was booming and gradually had a trend of becoming the nation’s number one financial group.

“Hello Uncle Lin and Auntie Lin, “An Ning greeted Lin Zhen’s parents.

Lin Liye sighed, “Sigh! My son almost lost his life trying to save you, but we don’t blame you. Through this incident, you two will surely support each other in the future. No need for more words, from now on we are family, let’s go inside.”

An Ning’s face flushed as she followed Lin Zhen into the house, worried that Lin Zhen’s parents would be unsatisfied with her. But they were quite understanding.

An Ning helped Lin Zhen into the house, Xiao Nuan eagerly following behind with a row of space rings hanging from its teeth, never closing its mouth along the way.

Upon reaching Lin Zhen’s bedroom, An Ning busied herself caring for Lin Zhen, leaving no room for Li Qin to intervene. Li Qin watched for a while before giving up and joining Lin Liye, discussing something unknown.

Lin Zhen, extremely exhausted, fell asleep unconsciously.

An Ning tucked Lin Zhen in, made sure he was comfortable, and had just finished when Lin Zhen’s phone rang.

An Ning didn’t want to answer or wake up Lin Zhen, but upon seeing that it was Su Mingyue calling, she hesitated. In the end, she clenched her teeth and pressed the answer button.

Through video call, Su Mingyue’s eyes were also red. Seeing An Ning, she was startled at first, then asked, “Sister An Ning, how is he doing?”

“Hello Yue’er, he just lay down and fell sleep.” An Ning adjusted the camera to show Lin Zhen’s sleeping face then moved it back to herself.

“I wanted to go take care of him, but my Master doesn’t agree, I can’t go.” Su Mingyue sniffed back tears, trying hard to calm herself.

“Don’t worry, I’m here for him. As for his current situation…”

An Ning took the phone and walked out of Lin Zhen’s room, quietly discussing Lin Zhen’s situation with Su Mingyue. They didn’t touch on other topics, both tacitly agreeing to focus on Lin Zhen.

At that moment, the two most outstanding girls in the world didn’t want Lin Zhen to face any difficulties.

Having been through thick and thin with Lin Zhen, they both knew they would never leave him. In the end, the decision would be up to Lin Zhen.

After An Ning left the room and closed the door, Xiao Nuan went out to eat the food that Lin Liye had prepared for it, leaving the space rings under Lin Zhen’s bed.

Lin Zhen lay alone in bed, entering the realm of dreams.

Outside the window, a tiny, ghostly blue, almost transparent beetle crept in.

Inside the Ancient God Relic, Shu Mingxuan could somehow sense the beetle’s situation.

“Lin Zhen, it’s you. You defeated a Star Realm Expert, truly a genius among geniuses.. Once I control you, the championship of this War God’s Knockout is mine, and you’ll become my slave!”
