《Plant Lord: Starting With 10,000 Times Increase》 Chapter 1 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Heavenly Hub Lord Academy. At this moment, the students in the square were waiting in line. A teacher stepped forward and waved his hand. ¡°The 109th Awakening Ceremony of Heavenly Hub Lord Academy has begun!¡± ¡°Student Zhao Wuji, please come on stage!¡± As the instructor spoke, everyone in the square began to discuss. In a corner of the square, someone asked. ¡°Lin Sen, what kind of a Lordship ability do you think Zhao Wuji will awaken?¡± The person who was questioned was Lin Sen. He looked up at Zhao Wuji, who had stepped into the Awakening Magic Formation in the middle of the square, and answered his classmate beside him with a matter-of-fact expression. ¡°He¡¯s from a martial arts family. The one he awakened is most likely a martial arts lord.¡± Just as Lin Sen finished speaking, the instructor spoke. ¡°Zhao Wuji, awakened combat-type Martial Lord!¡± For a moment, all the students cheered for him. At this moment, the student next to Lin Sen looked at him in surprise. ¡°Old Lin, you¡¯re amazing. You guessed it correctly!¡± ¡°By the way, guess what kind of ability you will awaken? What kind of lord will you become?¡± His classmate¡¯s words made Lin Sen¡¯s thoughts drift to the distant horizon¡­ What kind of ability would he awaken? What kind of Lord would he become? Lin Sen recalled everything about himself. It had been 18 years since he transmigrated to this world where everyone was a lord! In this special world, when everyone reached adulthood at the age of 18, their dantian would nurture a lord and awaken special abilities. The awakened abilities were divided into two types: combat and support. As the name suggested, the combat-types were suitable for combat, such as Martial Lords and Elemental Lords. As for support-types, they were not suitable for direct combat. For example, the dantian world in the body of Gourmet Lords had become its own kitchen. The delicious food cooked could allow others to obtain various enhancement Buffs. ¡°I hope¡­ it¡¯s a combat-type!¡± Lin Sen did not dare to be too sure. The student next to Lin Sen slapped him on the shoulder. ¡°You¡¯re too humble. In my opinion, there¡¯s definitely no problem with you being a combat-type lord. The main thing is what kind specifically?¡± ¡°Could it be that Sword Dao Lord whose sword qi spanned 80,000 miles?¡± ¡°Or the Inferno Lord who once burned most of the alien region of the starry sky?¡± As they chatted, another classmate joined the conversation. ¡°What are you talking about?¡± ¡°About what kind of ability Lin Sen would awaken.¡± ¡°Lin Sen usually likes to help others. Perhaps he will awaken the legendary Lord of Faith?¡± One by one, the students gathered around to discuss what kind of ability Lin Sen would awaken. After an unknown period of time, the teacher suddenly called Lin Sen¡¯s name. ¡°Lin Sen, please come on stage!¡± For a moment, the students beside Lin Sen looked over. A student clasped his fist at Lin Sen. ¡°Good brother, your achievements are definitely not low!¡± Another student waved at Lin Sen. ¡°Good luck, Lin Sen!¡± Not only Lin Sen¡¯s classmates, but the students from other classes also cheered for him. From this, it could be seen that Lin Sen¡¯s interpersonal relationships were quite good. And as the person in question, Lin Sen mustered his courage and came to the stage. Nervous! Lin Sen, who had lived two lives, suddenly felt nervous. After all, this awakening ceremony was too important. The awakened ability was just like the college entrance examination in his previous life. It was not that if his awakened ability was bad, he would be ruined for the rest of his life. However, as long as his awakened ability was a little better, he could at least avoid taking a detour for decades. Lin Sen followed his mentor¡¯s instructions and came to the center of the formation. As the formation flickered slightly, Lin Sen could feel a strange power appearing in his body. But before Lin Sen could relish that power, his mentor¡¯s voice sounded. ¡°Lin Sen, awakened combat-type Plant Lord!¡± Combat-type?! At first, Lin Sen was excited when he heard this. Although the students boasted of various kinds, such as the Inferno Lord and the Sword Dao Lord, these were all not real. Only now did Lin Sen heave a sigh of relief when he learned that he had awakened a combat-type lord. However, at this moment, the chatter from below the stage made Lin Sen realize that things were not that simple. ¡°Plant Lord?¡± ¡°This¡­ The growth cycle of plants is too slow. This is basically at the bottom among combat-type lords, right?¡± ¡°The other lords have sent their armies over. Aren¡¯t the plants nurtured by the Plant Lords still sprouting?¡± Listening to the discussion below the stage, Lin Sen realized that he had missed the last sentence. Although it had awakened a combat-type lord, it was the weakest Plant Lord among the combat-type lords. For a moment, Lin Sen was a little disappointed. When Lin Sen returned to the stage, the students from before surrounded him. One of the students suggested. ¡°Lin Sen, why don¡¯t you self-destruct the lord¡¯s core and nurture a new core?¡± ¡°It¡¯s not that the Plant Lord¡¯s ability is bad, but¡­ it¡¯s very difficult for anyone to survive with this latent ability.¡± ¡°Recreate a new core. Even if it¡¯s a Gourmet Lord who sells all kinds of delicacies with Buffs, he can still do well.¡± The student earnestly analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the Plant Lord for Lin Sen. Lin Sen had a bitter look on his face. He knew this student¡¯s analysis. What the Plant Lord¡¯s ability needed was time! It was rumored that a Plant Lord had once nurtured a World Tree and reconstructed the earth, water, wind, and fire in the chaotic void to create a new world. However, how many years would it take to nurture a World Tree? ¡°I heard that there seems to be a magical fruit that when consumed, can reconstruct the lord¡¯s ability.¡± ¡°However, that fruit is only a legend. We don¡¯t even know where it is sold.¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s sold, it¡¯ll probably be at an astronomical price!¡± Another student patted Lin Sen¡¯s shoulder and said earnestly, feeling sorry for him. ¡°If it really doesn¡¯t work, Lin Sen, let¡¯s open a shop together and specialize in selling all kinds of plants, such as flowers and so on. At the very least, we can earn some money.¡± The student who made this suggestion was not joking. Instead, she told Lin Sen her plan and even thought of the name of the shop. Facing his classmates¡¯ comforting words and suggestions, Lin Sen tried his best to squeeze out a smile. ¡°I appreciate everyone¡¯s kindness. I¡¯ll go back and think of something.¡± Lin Sen had no intention of taking the students¡¯ suggestions at the moment. After all, although these students had good intentions, there were only a few reliable suggestions. Among them, the fruit that could reconstruct a lord¡¯s ability was only an illusory legend. Self-destructing the core to nurture a new core again was indeed a feasible path, but if he did so, it meant that Lin Sen had to start all over again from the lower levels. Lin Sen touched the key in his pocket and said goodbye to his classmates. ¡°This might be my last hope!¡± Lin Sen muttered to himself. The key in his pocket could open the door to the ancestral house. Lin Sen¡¯s father had once told Lin Sen that no matter what Lin Sen¡¯s awakened ability was, he had to return to the ancestral house! Perhaps there would be new discoveries in the ancestral house! Chapter 2 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°However, I have to go home first¡­¡± On the way back, Lin Sen looked at the sky and sighed. ¡°Mother is usually too tired. I¡¯ll make some food for her first before going to the ancestral house!¡± Thinking of this, Lin Sen recalled his family in this life. Originally, it should have been a happy family in this life. However, after his father went to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Tribes back then, there was no news of him. As for her mother, the pressure of her single-handedly raising Lin Sen was too great, so she chose to remarry in order to support Lin Sen¡¯s studies in the Lord Academy. Before the various information in his mind had dissipated, Lin Sen had unknowingly arrived in front of the house. With a creak, the door was pushed open, and the strong smell of alcohol immediately wafted over. Upon smelling this, Lin Sen guessed that the drunkard stepfather had brought his friends over to eat and drink. When Lin Sen looked toward the living room, it was just as he had guessed. A pale, malnourished-looking woman was hard at work cleaning up. The cigarette butts, wine bottles, and vegetable soup on the ground were mixed together. At the same time, a card table was placed in the middle of the living room. A few drunk men were playing cards and shouting. ¡°Let me tell you, I¡¯m not bragging. My teaching ability is top-notch. Do you know that under my careful guidance, our military leader in Heavenly Hub City took a liking to my son?¡± ¡°Now, the military in Heavenly Hub City is recruiting talents. My son is in charge and is formulating a plan!¡± A man¡¯s face was flushed red as he spoke non-stop. The other drunk men beside him echoed. ¡°Brother Chen is awesome!¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t your family in charge of the entire Heavenly Hub City from now on?¡± ¡°In the future, if anyone wants to join the military, you¡¯ll have to give your son¡­ No, give you, Brother Chen, some benefits first.¡± The people around him were all praising him. When Lin Sen heard this, his heart was stirred. The drunkard who claimed that his son was awesome was Lin Sen¡¯s stepfather. If not for the fact that he had given birth to a good son who made a living in the Heavenly Hub Military Region, he would have long fallen into dire straits. Of course, if not for his background, Lin Sen¡¯s mother would not have married him. As Lin Sen recalled his stepbrother, the son of the old drunkard, the sound of something falling to the ground came from beside him. It was caused by someone who had lost his grip on the broom which knocked against the ground. At this moment, the old drunkard who was bragging about his son to his friends suddenly looked at the woman sweeping the floor. The old drunkard realized that the woman had fallen to the ground for some reason. His eyes widened, looking a little scary. Suddenly, the old drunkard shouted. ¡°Mo Rou! What are you doing?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t you know that I¡¯m chatting with my friends? What if such a loud noise disturbs our conversation?¡± ¡°Also, didn¡¯t I ask you to sweep the floor just now? Why haven¡¯t you cleaned up after so long?¡± ¡°You don¡¯t want to live in this house anymore?¡± The old drunkard¡¯s shout scared the woman so much that her originally pale face looked even paler! When Lin Sen saw this scene, anger surged in his heart. ¡°Chen Yun, that¡¯s enough!¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you see that my mother¡¯s health isn¡¯t good? And you¡¯re still ordering her around?¡± ¡°Can¡¯t you sweep the floor yourself? Can¡¯t you cook?¡± ¡°Is ordering a woman around the only thing a man could do?¡± Lin Sen¡¯s appearance made the nervous woman feel as if she had found her backbone. Her trembling hand that was holding the broom gradually calmed down. Because her son had returned! As for Chen Yun, the old drunkard, when he saw Lin Sen¡¯s arrival, his aura decreased significantly. This was a person who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Facing an adult man like Lin Sen, he didn¡¯t dare to order him around like he did Lin Sen¡¯s mother, Mo Rou. However, the old drunkard was still very unyielding. ¡°What? Kid, how can you speak to your father like that?¡± ¡°Have you forgotten who owns this house?¡± ¡°Shouldn¡¯t you be working for me while living in my house?¡± ¡°If you disrespect me again, I¡¯ll chase you and your mother out!¡± Seeing that Lin Sen was about to argue with the old drunkard, Mama Lin immediately pulled Lin Sen away from the living room filled with the stench of alcohol. Here, Lin Sen did not resist. Instead, he allowed his mother to pull him along. He didn¡¯t want to make things difficult for his mother. Lin Sen clenched his fists and thought to himself. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mother. I¡¯ll take you away and live a better life!¡± ¡°This day will not be far away!¡± Lin Sen swore silently. After leaving the noisy living room, Mama Lin asked. ¡°Sen, today is the day of your school¡¯s awakening ceremony. What kind of abilities have you awakened?¡± What kind of ability did he awaken? Lin Sen¡¯s expression was calm as he answered smoothly. ¡°It¡¯s a combat-type lord!¡± Here, Lin Sen¡¯s expression was not too unnatural. He did not want his mother to notice the abnormality and pursue the bottom of it. His mother was usually too tired for this family. Lin Sen did not want her to add to his worries. Mama Lin did not ask further. When she heard Lin Sen answer that it was the combat-type lord, there was a trace of sadness on her face, but she quickly squeezed out a smile. ¡°Combat-type¡­ Combat-type is pretty good too.¡± ¡°Most of those big shots now are from the combat-type. Sen¡±er is going to be successful in the future!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that¡­ the combat-type also spends a lot of resources¡­¡± Mama Lin muttered to herself. Lin Sen didn¡¯t feel good at all. Hearing his mother¡¯s words, he knew that his mother thought of his father, who had disappeared after going to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. Combat-types would most likely go to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races in the future. If Lin Sen went to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, would he end up like his father? This was also why Mama Lin said that the combat-type was quite good. From the perspective of her son¡¯s long-term development, Mama Lin naturally hoped that Lin Sen would be a combat-type Lord. However, as a mother, especially a mother who had lost her husband because of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, Mother Lin hoped that Lin Sen would be a support-type and that he would support in the back instead of going to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races himself. Lin Sen seemed to be a little disappointed when he thought of this. Mama Lin happened to see this. She thought that it was because she had mentioned in the last sentence that the combat-type needed to spend more resources, causing Lin Sen to be disappointed. After all, it was indeed difficult for the current family to provide for the expenses of a combat-type lord. Mama Lin realized that Lin Sen might be disappointed, so she immediately comforted him. ¡°Sen¡¯er, since you¡¯ve already become the combat-type Lord, don¡¯t be afraid. Work hard and move forward. Tell me what resources you want. I¡¯ll think of a way for you!¡± Lin Sen took in Mama Lin¡¯s comforting words. Although Lin Sen had already made up his mind not to ask his family for resources and increase their burden, he still had to deal with it on the surface. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Mom. I¡¯ll do my best. I¡¯ll let you know if I need anything.¡± Lin Sen responded. Mama Lin nodded and continued to clean up. Lin Sen¡¯s sharp eyes noticed that one of the drawers in the room was not closed tightly. Through the gap, he could see what seemed to be a medical report from a hospital visit. As if he had thought of something, Lin Sen took a deep breath and slowly opened the drawer with trembling hands. A medical report appeared in front of him. Just as he had guessed, this was his mother¡¯s medical report. However, the high cost of treatment made her mother keep it to herself. Lin Sen quietly put the medical report back and clenched his fists. ¡°I must¡­ change the current situation of this life!¡± Lin Sen made up his mind again! Chapter 3 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After Lin Sen found out about his mother¡¯s condition and the large amount of money needed to treat her illness, he did not show the slightest flaw in his expression. Instead, it remained the same as usual. ¡°Mom, you should rest first¡­¡± Lin Sen let his mother rest while he made a simple meal. This was not for the old drunkard. The old drunkard stepfather and friends were full and drunk. However, Lin Sen¡¯s mother had been busy until now and had yet to drink a drop of water. After Lin Sen prepared food for his mother, he found a random reason to go out. ¡°Sen, be careful when you go out¡­¡± ¡°Although you¡¯re an adult, don¡¯t come back too late at night¡­¡± Mama Lin looked at Lin Sen¡¯s back as he walked out of the door and nagged again. What Mama Lin Lin did not know was that Lin Sen, who had left, was quietly wiping the tears from the corners of his eyes. It was the same in his previous life. Even though he was an adult, his mother was still worried. When he went out, the other party would always remind him. And now, in this world, this mother was the same¡­ Lin Sen gathered his thoughts and walked towards the ancestral house. The area where the ancestral house was located was half an hour away from where they were currently living. It was very remote! Looking at the overgrown area in front of him, Lin Sen sighed in his heart. ¡°Who would have thought that dozens of families used to live here?¡± The surrounding trees were towering, and the weeds were at least half a meter tall. It was as if this area was submerged by an ocean of plants! The reason why Lin Sen and his mother left the ancestral home was partly because his mother had remarried and wanted to move into a new home. However, another reason was that the area where the ancestral house was located was no longer suitable for living! No one could explain the reason clearly. They only knew that the plants in that area were growing crazily. ¡°This is it!¡± Lin Sen came to the vine-covered house. Crack! There was the sound of a key turning. ¡°Fortunately, the keyhole isn¡¯t broken!¡± Lin Sen gently pushed the door open. Instantly, dust floated over. Because no one had cleaned the ancestral house for many years, a thick layer of dust had accumulated inside. ¡°Father asked me to take a look at the photos from back then¡­¡± Lin Sen walked all the way to his father¡¯s room. There were spiderwebs everywhere, and there was a family photo on the table. The photo was covered in dust, but it could still be seen that there were three people in the photo. A man and a woman, two grown adults. And they were holding the child in the middle from his left and right. They were Lin Sen¡¯s parents and the young Lin Sen. ¡°What¡¯s the secret behind this photo?¡± Lin Sen didn¡¯t know, but he picked up the photo frame and gently wiped the dust off it. ¡°I really miss that peaceful life.¡± Lin Sen wiped the photo as he reminisced. At this moment, there was a click, as if some mechanism had been triggered. Lin Sen subconsciously looked at the photo frame. It was as if a disc had been ejected from the computer. A disc popped out from the crevice between the photo frame. ¡°What¡¯s this?¡± Lin Sen stared at the disc for a long time. The disc was very clean. There was not the slightest information left on it. ¡°Perhaps I need to play the contents of this disc?¡± Lin Sen recalled that there was an abandoned CD player in the ancestral house. ¡°It works?¡± Linson tried pressing the switch and the CD player lit up. ¡°After so many years, although this area has been abandoned, it still has electricity?¡± Lin Sen was a little surprised. He did not delve deeper into this issue. Instead, he inserted the strange disc into the machine and pressed the switch. Suddenly, a green light appeared and covered the entire room! ¡°Shit!¡± Lin Sen sensed that something was wrong. At this moment, he realized that he had arrived at a strange place. This void was like space. Lin Sen was floating. There was no distinction between up, down, left, and right here¡­ At the same time, countless green bubbles floated in this space. Lin Sen approached a bubble. ¡°Is this..?!¡± Through the bubble, Lin Sen saw a towering tree taking root in the chaos. The earth, water, wind, and fire around the tree were fixed, forming a continent. ¡°The legendary World Tree that reconstructs earth, water, wind, and fire and opens up a new world?¡± Lin Sen suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked at another bubble beside him. The bubble was still filled with plants, but it was not as shocking as the World Tree. ¡°A giant mushroom?¡± In Lin Sen¡¯s eyes, there was a huge mushroom standing on the ground in the bubble. Suddenly, the mushroom exploded and the entire star exploded! ¡°Hiss~¡± ¡°This is really¡­ a real mushroom bomb!¡± Lin Sen gulped and looked at a bubble in front of him. ¡°Is this the legendary S-grade plant, Nine Leaf Sword Grass!!!¡± In the bubble, the Nine Leaf Sword Grass slashed across, cutting the star in half! ¡°Slash the stars!¡± ¡°This is the power of the pinnacle of the plant-type?¡± As Lin Sen watched, he seemed to understand that the countless bubbles in this space were all the outcome after various plants had grown to great maturity. ¡°So the plant-type can be so powerful?¡± Lin Sen¡¯s heart was surging. ¡°Looks like the plant-type has a bright future!¡± In a daze, everything in front of him became fainter and fainter. Lin Sen came back to his senses and realized that he had appeared in another place. This was a ground that was only a few square meters in size. The ground was covered in green grass. ¡°Isn¡¯t this my lordship core?¡± Only then did Lin Sen realize that he had arrived in the lord¡¯s world in his body. ¡°Wait, what¡¯s on the ground¡­¡± Lin Sen found a thumb-sized green seed lying on the ground. The moment Lin Sen¡¯s hand touched the seed, a message was sent. ¡°This is the Seed of Amplification?!¡± ¡°It can increase my plants by ten thousand times!¡± Once again, waves of shock rose within Lin Sen¡¯s heart. His father, who had disappeared after stepping onto the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, had actually left behind such a heaven-defying thing. ¡°From the looks of it, I¡¯m afraid that the matter behind my father, who was never heard from again after he went to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, isn¡¯t that simple!¡± After a short moment of surprise, Lin Sen began to calmly analyze it. ¡°No matter what, having this Seed of Amplification can solve the problem of the slow development cycle of the plant-type.¡± ¡°My mother and I can also use this to change our lives!¡± Chapter 4 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°With 10,000 times amplification, next¡­¡± Lin Sen wanted to test the effect of the Seed of Amplification and see how powerful it was. But in the blink of an eye, he realized that he had left the territorial world in his body and returned to reality. Only then did Lin Sen realize that he was still in the ancestral house, staring blankly at the CD player in front of him. ¡°Seed of Amplification?¡± Lin Sen looked at his hand. The Seed of Amplification was gone? ¡°Could it be the territorial world hidden in my body?¡± Lin Sen¡¯s consciousness sank into the territorial world in his body. He searched for a long time in that piece of land, but he still couldn¡¯t find the thumb-sized Seed of Amplification seed. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Could it be that all of this is just an illusion?¡± Lin Sen was a little disappointed. He originally thought that he would start a different life after obtaining the amplification left behind by his father. But in the end, all of this was just an illusion? If it were anyone else, they would probably have collapsed. However, Lin Sen had lived two lives. He quickly stabilized his mind. ¡°Forget it. It¡¯s my fortune to have it, but it¡¯s my fate to lose it.¡± Thinking of this, Lin Sen suddenly felt enlightened. Then, Lin Sen decided to go to the school. ¡°Let¡¯s collect the free resources from the school first!¡± Lin Sen remembered that the school had prepared initial resources for every feudal lord student. As long as they awakened their abilities and became lords, they could go and collect a certain amount of resources. ¡°This resource is my last hope of making a comeback!¡± ¡­ When Lin Sen arrived at the school, the school had already ended. There were not many students in sight. When Lin Sen arrived at a special building according to his memory, a teacher exclaimed in surprise when he saw Lin Sen. ¡°Lin Sen?¡± ¡°Are you¡­ preparing to receive the initial resources? Does this mean that you¡¯ve already made up your mind to take the path of the Plant Lord?¡± The tall and thin looking teacher in front of him had once taught Lin Sen a relevant culture class. He had a deep impression of Lin Sen. Now that Lin Sen was here, he immediately guessed Lin Sen¡¯s purpose. Lin Sen nodded without saying anything. Seeing Lin Sen¡¯s determined expression, the mentor wanted to say a lot of things, but in the end, they all turned into a deep sigh. ¡°Forget it. You¡¯re already an adult. You¡¯re no longer a child.¡± ¡°From now on, you have to take responsibility for all your decisions!¡± After the mentor finished speaking, he waved at Lin Sen, indicating that Lin Sen should follow him. Not long after, Lin Sen entered the special building. This place seemed to be filled with all kinds of shelves, like the bookshelves in a library. But instead of books, there were all kinds of boxes on the shelves here. The teacher retrieved two boxes from the shelf. ¡°As you will be taking the path of a Plant Lord, according to the rules, you can receive three plant seeds from the academy.¡± ¡°However, there are conditions. Currently, you can only receive one seed. If you can successfully nurture that seed within a week, you can receive the remaining two seeds!¡± Lin Sen was not surprised by his teacher¡¯s explanation. If he could successfully nurture the seed within a week, it meant that Lin Sen still had potential. The school would definitely support him greatly, so what was the harm in giving him two more seeds? If Lin Sen failed to nurture the seed within a week, it meant that he had no potential. It was already very good that the school could give him a seed for free. As for the remaining two seeds, naturally they would not continue to waste them on a student with no potential. ¡°Now, choose one of these two seeds!¡± The teacher opened the two boxes, which contained two seeds. ¡°There are two types of initial plants for Plant Lords. One is the Blade Grass, which is the main attack, and the other is the Nut Wall, which is the main defense.¡± At this point, the teacher did not continue. He was afraid that his words would affect Lin Sen¡¯s decision. On Lin Sen¡¯s side, he was also in a dilemma. Should he choose the main attack route or the main defense route? While Lin Sen was in a dilemma, the scene of various plants growing to their peak in the bizarre space appeared in his mind. At this moment, Lin Sen yearned for those powerful plants. ¡°Teacher, I choose the Blade Grass!¡± At this moment, the image of the Sword Grass that had slashed the stars was still lingering in Lin Sen¡¯s mind. The teacher nodded and handed the Blade Grass seed to Lin Sen. ¡°This is an F-grade plant seed of the Blade Grass. I hope Student Lin Sen can walk an extraordinary path!¡± Lin Sen looked at the Blade Grass seed and was a little excited. This was his first plant seed after becoming a Plant Lord. To him, it had extraordinary significance. ¡°Although it¡¯s only F-grade, one day, we will create a legend that belongs to us!¡± Lin Sen was not disappointed because this was the lowest F-grade plant seed. Instead, he was filled with hope and thought that this was an important step in his life. Seeing Lin Sen¡¯s attitude, the teacher was very optimistic. ¡°Not bad. Student Lin Sen¡¯s mentality is very good.¡± ¡°Although the potential of plants is divided into F-grade to SSS-grade, and this is only the lowest F-grade, a 10,000-foot high building starts from the ground. After this F-grade Blade Grass is cultivated to grade-99, it will also have incomparably powerful strength!¡± Because of Lin Sen¡¯s mentality, the teacher thought highly of Lin Sen and helped him think. In the current world, plants were divided into grades 1 to 99. The higher the grades, the stronger the combat power of the plants. Even if it was a F-grade with the lowest potential, as long as it reached grade-99, it would still have extraordinary combat strength! If Lin Sen had the grade-99 Blade Grass, it would be enough for him to live a good life for the rest of his life. At the same time, the potential of plants was divided into F to SSS grades. If two plants were both grade-10, but one had F-grade potential while the other had SSS-grade potential, the SSS-grade plant would definitely beat the F-grade plant! Lin Sen recalled the relevant knowledge in his heart. At this moment, the Blade Grass seed was already in his hand. What Lin Sen needed to do next was to plant the seed in his inner world and nurture it. When Lin Sen planted the Blade Grass seed in his body, he realized that there was a strange power in his body. That familiar feeling could not be wrong! ¡°It¡¯s the power of the Seed of Amplification!¡± Lin Sen found green energy surrounding the Blade Grass. A stream of information surged into Lin Sen¡¯s mind, allowing him to understand the current situation. ¡°In the amplification, it detected a plant in my body, so it activated the 10,000-fold amplification. However, I need to manually select the specific items for the 10,000-fold amplification.¡± ¡°Quantity, potential, grade, growth speed¡­¡± Lin Sen was faced with a choice, but at this moment, he recalled the terrifying Sword Grass that had grown to its peak in his memory. ¡°If it increases the potential of the Blade Grass, will it¡­¡± Thinking of this, Lin Sen decided to increase the potential of the Blade Grass by ten thousand times! The moment Lin Sen made his choice, the small Blade Grass seed in his inner world absorbed countless amounts of green energy and grew wildly from a tiny seed at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the territorial world in Lin Sen¡¯s body expanded from a small space of a few square meters to the size of a basketball court. A blade-like grass plant was rooted in his world. ¡°Hiss~¡± ¡°This is¡­ an S-grade plant, Nine Leaf Sword Grass!¡± ¡°It can shoot powerful sword qi from nine directions¡­¡± Just as Lin Sen finished sighing with emotion, the Nine Leaf Sword Grass began to sway as if it was fluttering in the wind. Then, sword qi shot out from the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. Terrifying sword qi enveloped Lin Sen¡¯s entire territory. Chapter 5 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Sen¡¯s territorial world was centered around the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, and terrifying sword qi spread out in all directions. Cracks that were half a meter deep appeared! It looked like Lin Sen¡¯s territorial world was about to shatter! For a time, sword qi crisscrossed and dust filled the air! ¡°This¡­ This is only a grade-1 Nine Leaf Sword Grass. If it¡¯s a grade-99 Nine Leaf Sword Grass, can it destroy the world?¡± As the nine sword qi burst out, the swooshing sound of the sword qi gradually disappeared. As the dust settled, Lin Sen could finally see clearly. Nine cracks half a meter deep divided his territory into pieces like a cake. In reality, Lin Sen opened his eyes. His face was filled with shock and ecstasy. Not far away, when the teacher saw Lin Sen¡¯s appearance, he realized that something had happened. Before the teacher could ask, Lin Sen took the initiative to speak. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve successfully nurtured it!¡± When Lin Sen said this, the teacher¡¯s expression underwent a very interesting change. At first, he was puzzled. He didn¡¯t seem to understand what Lin Sen meant. It had only been a few minutes since the teacher handed the seed to Lin Sen. How could someone successfully nurture it in such a short period of time? Therefore, the moment he heard Lin Sen¡¯s words, the teacher was puzzled. He could not understand what Lin Sen was saying. But then, after the teacher carefully savored the meaning of what Lin Sen had just said, he suddenly came to a shocking realization. ¡°What?¡± ¡°You¡¯ve successfully nurtured the seed?¡± The teacher¡¯s expression was very interesting. He was so excited that his body was trembling slightly. ¡°Don¡¯t move, I¡¯ll check!¡± The teacher patted Lin Sen¡¯s back and a special power surged in. Suddenly, green light surrounded Lin Sen¡¯s body. ¡°What a vigorous life force is this?!¡± The teacher was so surprised that his voice trembled. Others might not know, but he knew very well. Lin Sen had just awakened his ability today and had just obtained his first plant! Under such circumstances, Lin Sen¡¯s body actually burst with incomparably vigorous vitality. This was enough to prove that the plant that Lin Sen was nurturing had extraordinary potential! So, what exactly happened to the Blade Grass with F-grade potential? The teacher took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down. As for the origin of the vigorous vitality in Lin Sen¡¯s body, the teacher did not ask further. ¡°Everyone has their own secrets. I won¡¯t pursue this matter.¡± ¡°But you have to pay more attention in the future!¡± Although the teacher did not say it explicitly, the hint was obvious. Lin Sen nodded, feeling somewhat moved. Actually, he did not have a deep impression of this teacher. He had only taught him a few cultural classes. However, the other party still dutifully reminded Lin Sen to pay attention to these aspects. ¡°Everyone thought that you would most likely disappear into the crowd in the future.¡± ¡°However, it seems like you might have chosen the right path!¡± The teacher was inwardly overwhelmed with emotion. Then, the teacher fulfilled his previous promise and gave Lin Sen two more plant seeds. ¡°Since you¡¯ve reached the standard, the area behind me will be open for you.¡± ¡°This is the area for plant-type seeds. There are all kinds of plant seeds here, but you can only choose two!¡± Lin Sen nodded and thanked the teacher. Then, Lin Sen stepped into the area. On each shelf, there were countless boxes. Each box had a label on it with the corresponding plant seed name on it. ¡°Vine, herb, wood, fungus¡­¡± Lin Sen walked around the plant-type area for half a day, feeling dizzy. Plant-type was only a large category. There were also countless subcategories. Among the countless plant seeds, Lin Sen could only choose two. ¡°The highest is only B-grade?¡± ¡°That¡¯s true. Plants above A-grade are very rare. Even if the school has them, they won¡¯t give them to us easily.¡± After a simple tour, Lin Sen discovered that the potential of these plant seeds ranged from F-grade to B-grade, but there were no A-grade or S-grade seeds which were above B-grade. Among the plant seeds with B-grade potential, Lin Sen had his eyes on a certain plant seed. ¡°B-grade plant seeds, Potato Mines!¡± Lin Sen had a deep impression of the Potato Mine plant. Although it was only a B-grade, it could unleash the power of an A-grade or even a S-grade! However, the price of such power was that the Potato Mine was equivalent to a single-use item. After painstakingly nurturing it, it would eventually explode and perish with the enemy. If he blew up one, he would lose one! ¡°The disadvantage of Potato Mines is that there are too few of them. Every time one is used, there will be one less.¡± ¡°However, I have a 10,000-fold increase. Perhaps I can increase the number of Potato Mines?¡± ¡°At that time, I¡¯ll have ten thousand Potato Mines and set up a landmine formation. Who would dare to break through?¡± Thinking of this, Lin Sen¡¯s heart surged. The ultimate goal of a Potato Mines was to perish together with the enemy. In exchange, Potato Mines gain tenacious vitality. It would not take long for a Potato Mine to grow. As he pondered, Lin Sen finally chose the Potato Mine seed with B-grade potential. Then, Lin Sen continued to search for the last seed. ¡°The presence of Potato Mines allows me to lay down safe defensive measures.¡± ¡°The existence of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass gives me a powerful active output ability.¡± ¡°I can attack and defend¡­¡± Thinking of this, Lin Sen felt that his configuration was already very good. He did not know how to choose the third seed. At this moment, Lin Sen saw two students coming out of the alien beast area next door. The two students should be the alien beast-type lords. They were discussing choosing an alien beast egg with very high agility as the initial alien beast. Hearing this, Lin Sen realized a problem. ¡°Although the damage output of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass is very strong, the prerequisite is that the enemy won¡¯t dodge!¡± ¡°If the enemy has very high agility and can directly dodge it, it will be very difficult for the Nine Leaf Sword Grass to deal it with damage!¡± Thinking of this, Lin Sen had an idea about the choice of his third seed. ¡°This third seed can provide an environment for the output of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass!¡± Therefore, Lin Sen quickly chose the third seed. ¡°D-grade plant seed, Parasitic Thorn.¡± ¡°It has the ability to entangle and absorb. It can entangle the enemy and absorb their life force. At the same time, it can be parasitic. From the initial thorny vine, it continuously evolved into countless vines!¡± Lin Sen had also carefully selected a plant seed like the Parasitic Thorn. ¡°The Parasitic Thorn will entangle the enemy and immobilize them. The Nine Leaf Sword Grass will steadily deal it with damage. It¡¯s a good combination.¡± ¡°Moreover, the most terrifying thing about the Parasitic Thorn is that it keeps spreading, turning from one vine to countless vines.¡± ¡°What I lack is time. If I use the ten-thousand-fold increase in growth speed on the Parasitic Thorn, won¡¯t I be able to perfectly make up for this shortcoming?¡± Chapter 6 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After choosing the other two plants, Lin Sen found a teacher to register them. The teacher instructed Lin Sen. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already chosen the combination of these plants, it means that you¡¯re almost done preparing.¡± ¡°Once you¡¯re ready, you can challenge the Mystic Realm Fragment.¡± ¡°Challenging the Mystic Realm Fragment is the main source of resources for new lords like you!¡± On one hand, this teacher had a good impression of Lin Sen. On the other hand, he knew Lin Sen¡¯s potential. After all, under his watch, the plant seed was successfully nurtured in a few minutes. This potential was not simple! Therefore, this teacher thought highly of Lin Sen and told him a lot. ¡°Fragment Mystic Realm¡­¡± Lin Sen was a little puzzled. He knew about the mystic realm. In this world, every lord had a territory in their bodies. These territories existed in the bodies of lords and were private territory. There was another kind of territorial space that was naturally formed and existed in alternate spaces. This kind of space was a masterless thing. It was considered a public territory, and it was a mystic realm! There were also some powerful lords whose inner world became masterless after they died. It was also a kind of mystic realm. However, this was the first time Lin Sen had heard the term Mystic Realm Fragment. ¡°Teacher, please enlighten me!¡± Lin Sen asked his teacher sincerely. The teacher smiled and answered Lin Sen¡¯s question. ¡°The so-called Mystic Realm Fragments refer to those territorial spaces where the Mystic Realm was artificially cut and used to train students!¡± The teacher told Lin Sen that every student who successfully awakened would receive information about the Mystic Realm Fragment. After Lin Sen awakened the Plant Lord ability, he was in a hurry to go home, so he missed the relevant information. ¡°Small Mystic Realm Fragments, medium Mystic Realm Fragments, and large Mystic Realm Fragments, as long as you can obtain a good evaluation after clearing the Mystic Realm, you can obtain different rewards and exchange them for the corresponding lord skills!¡± Obtain Rewards? Exchanging for lord skills? When Lin Sen heard this, his breathing quickened. Although exchanging for lord skills was not bad, what Lin Sen cared about the most was obtaining various rewards! According to the teacher, the evaluation after clearing the Mystic Realm Fragment was divided into several grades: excellent, good, medium, and poor. It would be calculated based on the size of the Mystic Realm Fragment and the evaluation. The bigger the fragment, the higher the evaluation, and the better the experience. For example, obtaining an excellent evaluation from challenging a small Mystic Realm Fragment, compared to obtaining an excellent evaluation from challenging a medium Mystic Realm Fragment, the latter would definitely yield more rewards! Lin Sen¡¯s idea was to obtain some rewards for clearing the Mystic Realm Fragment to provide for his family and improve their lives. ¡°Actually, the real great opportunities are in those Mystic Realms.¡± ¡°Some mystic realms are naturally formed and contain countless natural treasures.¡± ¡°Some mystic realms are where powerful lords fall and their territories become mystic realms that contain countless opportunities!¡± At this point, the teacher also yearned for those mystic realms. Lin Sen knew about this information. Back in class, Lin Sen had a deep impression of the legendary Eternal Kingdom Mystic Realm. It was said that it was a strange world. The residents there would not be hungry, thirsty, or tired¡­ They did not even talk about birth, aging, illness, and death. Everything was eternal! The reason for all of this was because the Eternal Kingdom Mystic Realm had evolved from the territory of a terrifying lord. The ability that the lord awakened was related to time. The territory world in his body formed an eternal kingdom. After his death, the eternal kingdom floated in another dimension and became a mystic realm. Then, the teacher explained some of the differences between a Mystic Realm and a Mystic Realm Fragment to Lin Sen. ¡°When you were still students, everything you obtained from entering the Mystic Realm Fragment had to be handed over to the school in the end. According to the value of the items you obtained from the Mystic Realm Fragment, they will be converted into corresponding points.¡± ¡°If you go to the Mystic Realm, everything you obtain will be what you really have!¡± The teacher told Lin Sen a very important issue. Everything obtained from the Mystic Realm Fragment had to be handed over to the school in the end. Then, the school would distribute the corresponding points to the student according to the value of the item. These points could be exchanged for some things at the school. ¡°The academy is still small scale. To obtain true benefits, one would still have to challenge the Mystic Realm in the end!¡± At this moment, the teacher¡¯s words changed. ¡°Although the Mystic Realm is dangerous, great opportunities represent great danger!¡± ¡°Opportunity and risk coexist!¡± ¡°For students like you, the Mystic Realm is still too dangerous.¡± Lin Sen agreed with his teacher¡¯s words. The mystic realm contained countless opportunities and treasures. Although it was risky, this was the method Lin Sen thought of that could solve his family¡¯s problems quickly. ¡°Perhaps I can continuously increase my strength by challenging the Mystic Realm Fragment.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll challenge the Mystic Realm when I¡¯m strong enough!¡± ¡°At that time, when I return with the treasures and opportunities of the Mystic Realm, not only can I solve the problem of my mother not having enough money to treat her illness, I can also bring my mother out of this family and let her enjoy life!¡± Lin Sen clenched his fists and made a decision. Lin Sen made a plan in his heart. If he only relied on the school¡¯s Mystic Realm Fragment, it would be very difficult to achieve his goal. Therefore, he had to find a way to increase his strength and explore the Mystic Realm. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve decided. I want to challenge the Mystic Realm Fragment!¡± When Lin Sen made this request, the teacher was a little confused. ¡°Kid, are you serious?¡± ¡°You have to know that you have just nurtured a successful plant seed. Don¡¯t you need to go back and rest?¡± Because the teacher thought highly of Lin Sen, he tried to persuade him. He was afraid that Lin Sen would be defeated by the encounter in Mystic Realm Fragment because of his poor preparation. On Lin Sen¡¯s side, he was very determined to challenge the Mystic Realm Fragment. ¡°Teacher, I¡¯ve already made up my mind. I have a reason to challenge the Mystic Realm!¡± ¡°I want to change my current situation in a short period of time!¡± At this point, the teacher recalled some information he knew about Lin Sen¡¯s family. For a moment, the teacher seemed to understand why Lin Sen was in a hurry to challenge the Mystic Realm Fragment. To new lords like Lin Sen, perhaps challenging the Mystic Realm Fragment was the most direct way for them to quickly grow and change their lives. ¡°Since you¡¯ve already made your decision, I won¡¯t persuade you anymore¡­¡± ¡°Prepare to face the first Mystic Realm Fragment!¡± Chapter 7 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Lin Sen followed his teacher deeper into the building. After crossing the area where the initial resources were placed, the deeper area was the entrance to the Mystic Realm Fragment. At this moment, the passage ahead was blocked by a wooden table. Two gray-haired elders were drinking tea and playing chess. These two old men and the wooden table had already blocked the way! In the face of the two old men occupying the road, the teacher who led Lin Sen here did not have the slightest complaint. Instead, he greeted the two old men respectfully. ¡°Elder Zhao, Elder Hua, can you make an exception and let this student challenge the Mystic Realm Fragment?¡± Lin Sen watched silently from the side. At first, he was a little surprised. Was there a need to make an exception to challenge the Mystic Realm Fragment? Not all students were qualified to challenge the Mystic Realm Fragment? But soon, an old man with white hair spoke, and Lin Sen understood the reason. The old man held a chess piece in one hand and looked at Lin Sen curiously. ¡°According to the academy¡¯s rules, the challenge of the Mystic Realm Fragment should stop at this time. Other than the students who have already stepped into the Mystic Realm Fragment and have yet to come out, the other students are not allowed to challenge the Mystic Realm Fragment again¡­¡± ¡°Ren Changge, this student is actually worthy of your pleading. Looks like he¡¯s not ordinary!¡± Ren Changge, the teacher who thought highly of Lin Sen, smiled awkwardly and did not explain further. Lin Sen knew that Teacher Ren was protecting him. He was afraid that if he spoke too much, he would slip up and be pursued by layers of clues which would discover Lin Sen¡¯s abnormality. ¡°Forget it. Since you¡¯re the one who asked us to make an exception, what¡¯s wrong with us making an exception?¡± The old man just now seemed to be easy to talk to; he was full of smiles. The other old man stroked his white beard and looked at Teacher Ren thoughtfully. He was slightly surprised and said, ¡°Thinking about it carefully, this seems to be the first time you¡¯ve been so concerned about a student since you retired from the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races?¡± ¡°I¡¯m full of anticipation!¡± The two old men looked at Lin Sen. This made Lin Sen feel uncomfortable, as if all his secrets had been seen through. ¡°Kid, come with me!¡± One of the elders stood up and made way for him. Lin Sen followed. After taking a few steps, he found all kinds of circled formations on the ground further down. ¡°Let me see. Since this is your first challenge, how about I arrange a small Mystic Realm Fragment for you?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll abide by Elder Hua¡¯s arrangements!¡± Lin Sen¡¯s attitude was to adhere to the other party¡¯s arrangements without any complaints. Under Elder Hua¡¯s arrangement, Lin Sen came to a formation. This looked like a special formation that he had seen during the awakening ceremony. ¡°Kid, remember that you will be teleported to the alternate space where the small Mystic Realm Fragment is. As for what kind of Mystic Realm Fragment it is, I don¡¯t know because it¡¯s random!¡± With Elder Hua¡¯s explanation, Lin Sen gradually understood the process of challenging the Mystic Realm Fragment. There were many Mystic Realm Fragments. Small, medium, large¡­ For the same formation, if the same student stepped in, he would be transported to different Mystic Realms. Therefore, Elder Hua did not know what kind of Mystic Realm Fragment Lin Sen would be facing later. ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the small Mystic Realm Fragments are basically safe!¡± As Elder Hua¡¯s voice fell, the formation in front of him emitted a dazzling light. Lin Sen only closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them again, he saw another space. ¡°This is¡­ the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment. I need to defeat the creatures in the martial hall within a certain period of time¡­¡± The moment Lin Sen entered the Mystic Realm Fragment, relevant information surged into his mind. At this moment, Lin Sen began to observe his surroundings. Just like the name of the Mystic Realm Fragment, this was a martial arts hall the size of a basketball court. Looking out, it was all spatial turbulence. ¡°Strictly speaking, the martial arts hall that could be seen now is only one of the fragments of the real martial arts hall!¡± Lin Sen observed the situation in the martial arts hall and gradually came to a conclusion. This martial arts hall should have been very big, but it had been cut up by someone. The current basketball court size area should have been obtained after being cut. Some traces could be seen from the fringes of the martial arts hall. ¡°Are these the enemies I have to defeat?¡± Lin Sen looked at the creatures in the martial arts hall. ¡°Scarecrows? No wonder Elder Hua said that this small Mystic Realm Fragment is very safe¡­¡± Lin Sen stood in front of the scarecrows. The scarecrows would not take the initiative to attack. It seemed that as long as Lin Sen did not provoke the scarecrows, they would not attack Lin Sen. ¡°Let¡¯s try a scarecrow first!¡± Lin Sen rubbed his fists and tried to attack a scarecrow. With a bang, Lin Sen¡¯s expression changed drastically. He felt as if his punch had hit a rock, making his scalp tingle. The scarecrow that was attacked in front of him moved. ¡°Shit!¡± Lin Sen immediately pulled away from the other party. From the scarecrow¡¯s rock-hard outer shell, what would happen if the other party punched him? Just when Lin Sen was worried, he realized that after he pulled away from the scarecrow, the scarecrow seemed to have lost its hatred and returned to its previous appearance. It stood there motionless. ¡°This ¡­¡± ¡°No wonder Elder Hua said that the small Mystic Realm Fragment is very safe.¡± ¡°Even if you take the initiative to infuriate the enemy, as long as you distance yourself, you can get rid of the hatred.¡± ¡°As expected of a Mystic Realm Fragment prepared to take care of the novice lord!¡± After Lin Sen gathered a lot of information about the enemy, he began to get serious. ¡°It¡¯s your turn to make an appearance, Nine Leaf Sword Grass!¡± With a thought from Lin Sen, the Nine Leaf Sword Grass in his territorial world began to sway as a terrifying sword qi filled the air. In the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment, sword qi surrounded Lin Sen. Under Lin Sen¡¯s control, countless sword qi gathered at the center of the martial arts hall. Gradually, the sword qi condensed into a grass plant that was like a long sword. This position was carefully chosen by Lin Sen. Previously, Lin Sen had roughly estimated the size of this Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment. It was about the size of his internal territorial world. The attack range of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass in the center of his internal territorial area just happened to cover this territory. In other words, as long as the Nine Leaf Sword Grass was planted in the center of the martial arts hall, all the scarecrows in the martial arts hall would be within the attack range of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass! ¡°Sword qi burst forth!¡± Accompanied by Lin Sen¡¯s low shout, the Nine Leaf Sword Grass in the center of the martial arts hall swayed slightly, as if it was gathering momentum. A second later, nine terrifying sword qi burst out in all directions! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Cracks appeared on the ground. As for the scarecrows along the way, they were either chopped in half or cut into two like chinese chives. The first round of sword qi burst forth. Although many scarecrows were killed, there were still many scarecrows that had not been hit. At this moment, these scarecrows ¡°awakened¡± from their motionless state and converged towards the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, as if they wanted to attack it. However, at this moment, the second wave of sword qi from the Nine Leaf Sword Grass burst forth! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Countless scarecrows fell to the ground, and the ground was filled with scarecrow corpses. [Congratulations to Lord Lin Sen for completing the challenge. Level: Low-level seven-star lord. Time spent: 1 minute and 10 seconds! Obtained 10,000 points!] Lin Sen looked at the sky. A ranking appeared there. It was a record left behind by all the lords who challenged this Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment. Only the top ten names and records were displayed on the rankings. At this moment, Lin Sen was ranked first. ¡°Second place is Ye Zhiyuan. At that time, she was a low-level nine-star lord. She used 5 minutes and 25 seconds to obtain 5,000 points!¡± Lin Sen looked at the second place. It was none other than Ye Zhiyuan, who was in the limelight in the academy. At the same time, she was also the dream girl of countless boys in the academy. Chapter 8 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations ¡°I accidentally broke her record. She¡­ shouldn¡¯t be angry, right?¡± Lin Sen thought of the girl with an aloof temperament. Every frown and smile of hers appeared in his mind. The other party would definitely not be angry because Lin Sen had broken her record. She would most likely be happy because of Lin Sen¡¯s improvement. As he thought about it, the scene in front of him changed. Lin Sen realized that he had returned to the formation. ¡°Eh?¡± ¡°Kid, have you come out so quickly?¡± ¡°Could it be that you were defeated by the monsters of the Mystic Realm Fragment?¡± ¡°That shouldn¡¯t be the case. It¡¯s impossible for such a situation to happen in a small Mystic Realm Fragment¡­¡± Elder Hua and Elder Zhao¡¯s eyes widened. They came to inspect the formation as if they wanted to observe the situation of the Mystic Realm Fragment through the formation. But at this moment, Teacher Ren seemed to have discovered something. ¡°Lin Sen, you¡­ you broke the record for the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment?¡± Teacher Ren noticed the changes in the rankings of the various Mystic Realm Fragments in the academy¡¯s system, so he went up to check. Sure enough, he found Lin Sen¡¯s name. ¡°He actually got a superb evaluation¡­¡± Teacher Ren was still relatively calm at this moment. He subconsciously thought that it was an excellent evaluation. But soon, he could no longer remain calm. ¡°Used 1 minute and 10 seconds?! Superb¡­ Superb evaluation!¡± Teacher Ren was so surprised that he could not hide it. This voice also attracted the attention of Elder Hua and Elder Zhao. The two old men also checked the academy¡¯s Mystic Realm Fragment system and found Lin Sen¡¯s name. Generally speaking, the evaluation for clearing the Mystic Realm Fragment only had the ratings excellent, good, medium, and poor. A superb evaluation was very rare. At least in the entire academy¡¯s Mystic Realm Fragment records, there had never been a superb evaluation before! For a moment, Teacher Ren, Elder Hua, and Elder Zhao looked at Lin Sen with fiery eyes. ¡°Kid, you¡¯re good!¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t expect a dark horse like you to appear among this batch of novice lord students!¡± Elder Zhao patted Lin Sen¡¯s shoulder hard. He was very excited. As for Lin Sen, his mind was completely focused on the 10,000 points he had obtained. ¡°Elder Zhao, may I ask if the points are exchanged here?¡± Lin Sen did not know what the points could be exchanged for. If he could exchange them for some valuable things and sell them, perhaps he could improve his family¡¯s life. Before Elder Zhao could say anything, Elder Hua came over enthusiastically. ¡°Kid, do you want to exchange them for something?¡± ¡°Currently, the things that can be exchanged are the ones that need to be unlocked¡­¡± Elder Zhao told Lin Sen that there were many things that the points could be exchanged for in the academy. However, they would have to be unlocked according to the different Mystic Realm Fragments that the students had cleared. For example, Lin Sen had cleared a small Mystic Realm Fragment, so he could only exchange for very few things. More things could only be unlocked by clearing medium and large Mystic Realm Fragments. In the end, Lin Sen used his points to exchange for some soldier grain pills, first-aid kits, energy crystals, and other supplies from Elder Zhao and Elder Hua. Soldier grain pills were for eating. The small Mystic Realm Fragment was still alright. It could be broken through in an hour or two at the latest. However, for medium and large Mystic Realm Fragments, it was like exploring another unknown continent. It would be impossible without sufficient supplies. The first-aid kits required no further mention. The energy crystals were used by Lin Sen to recover his energy. This energy was used to activate the plants in his body, nurture the plants, and activate plant skills. ¡°Kid, this is your reward!¡± Elder Hua gave Teacher Ren some instructions for a while, and Teacher Ren went to fetch a box. The box was opened. It was something that looked like a book, and it was engraved with dense mysterious symbols. ¡°Advanced Skill Book¡ªRapid Planting!¡± ¡°It should suit you!¡± Elder Hua smiled and introduced the skill book. After Lin Sen reached out and touched the book, special information surged into his mind. He had mastered a skill called Rapid Planting! ¡°Rapid planting can allow quick planting and change the location of the plants after planting¡­¡± Lin Sen muttered the function of this ability. At the same time, Lin Sen recalled that he had spent a lot of time planting the Nine Leaf Sword Grass when he was challenging the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment. From the sword qi emitted by the Nine Leaf Sword Grass in his body, to the sword qi surrounding his body, to the sword qi gathering in the distance to form the Nine Leaf Sword Grass¡­ This process was a little long. Now, with this skill, Lin Sen could plant the Nine Leaf Sword Grass in an instant! This efficiency had increased countless times! As for changing the planting location, Lin Sen knew that the Plant Lord¡¯s flaw was the lack of agility. The enemy was alive and could move. But plants were mostly immobile. If Lin Sen planted the Nine Leaf Sword Grass in one place, it would be difficult to move it to another place. But with the Rapid Planting skill, this problem was perfectly resolved! ¡°This way, my landmine formation will not be so rigid!¡± Lin Sen remembered that he still had a killing move, the landmine formation. In the past, the landmine formation required Potato Mines to be planted one by one. This undoubtedly required a lot of time. He needed to leave enough time to prepare and plant in advance. Then, he worked hard to plant them and set up the landmine formation. However, for various reasons, the enemy did not take the path where Lin Sen laid the landmines. Wouldn¡¯t Lin Sen¡¯s efforts be in vain then? He spent the entire morning setting up landmines in the direction to the east, waiting for the enemy to come and die. In the end, the enemy came from the south. At this time, Lin Sen looked like a clown. However, with the Rapid Planting skill, Lin Sen realized that the enemy did not go east but south. He could directly move the Potato Mine to the south! While Lin Sen was fantasizing, Teacher Ren reminded him. ¡°Lin Sen, your reward should have been something else, but Elder Hua used a bit of his authority to change the reward to Rapid Planting which suits you the most.¡± With Teacher Ren¡¯s reminder, Lin Sen realized that the two old men had tampered with it. Otherwise, the reward would not be so coincidentally the most suitable Rapid Planting for him. ¡°Lin Sen thanks the two elders!¡± Lin Sen was truly grateful. Whether it was Teacher Ren or the two elders, The help these people gave him saved him a lot of detours on the path of the Plant Lord, allowing him to develop quickly. ¡°Alright, go back and rest well. Don¡¯t be too arrogant.¡± ¡°Although your results are considered very outstanding in the academy, in the entire world, there will definitely be better results than yours!¡± In fact, Elder Zhao didn¡¯t know if anyone could break Lin Sen¡¯s record. He said this mainly because he was afraid that Lin Sen would be arrogant. As for Lin Sen, he hesitated for a moment before finally speaking to Elder Zhao. ¡°Senior, I wish to continue challenging the Mystic Realm Fragment. Please permit!¡± Lin Sen knew that at this time, according to the school¡¯s rules, challenges were not allowed. He had to wait until the next day. That was why he begged the two elders. After all, they were specialized in guarding the Mystic Realm Fragments. Chapter 9 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Facing Lin Sen¡¯s request, Elder Zhao and Elder Hua looked at each other and finally nodded. ¡°Logically, we shouldn¡¯t have made an exception for you.¡± ¡°However, the academy can make an exception for talented students with potential!¡± The meaning of the two elders was obvious. Rules were dead, but people were living. These rules and regulations were only used to restrain most students. For those students with talent and potential, the school could change some rules for them! ¡°We¡¯re both looking forward to your performance¡­¡± Elder Hua walked forward and observed the vast ground behind him that was like a small indoor square. Countless formations were spinning. Then, Elder Hua looked a little worried. ¡°Kid, all the medium Mystic Realm Fragments in the academy have been taken.¡± After Lin Sen challenged the small Mystic Realm Fragment, he wanted to challenge the medium Mystic Realm Fragment. Then, he would challenge the large Mystic Realm Fragment and steadily increase his strength step by step! However, Elder Hua told Lin Sen that all the medium Mystic Realm Fragments had been taken. ¡°Then¡­ why don¡¯t you let me try a large Mystic Realm Fragment?¡± As Lin Sen spoke, he was eager to try. According to the school¡¯s rules, one had to take it one step at a time to clear the Mystic Realm Fragment. After clearing the small Mystic Realm Fragment, he could then clear the medium one. Lastly, he could clear the large Mystic Realm Fragment. However, the two elders had said that the school could change the rules for students with potential and talent! Therefore, Lin Sen wanted to give it a try. He wanted to see if he could skip the middle Mystic Realm Fragment and directly challenge the large Mystic Realm Fragment. Elder Hua and Elder Zhao looked at each other again, feeling a little troubled. But in the end, the two old men made up their minds. ¡°Based on the potential you¡¯ve displayed, you can indeed try to challenge that large Mystic Realm Fragment¡­¡± Then, Elder Hua went to check the formations to see if there were any large Mystic Realm Fragments that were empty. Unlike the random selection of small Mystic Realm Fragments, when it came to the medium and large Mystic Realm Fragments, one could take the initiative to choose. Under Lin Sen¡¯s anticipation, not long after, Elder Hua returned with a strange expression. ¡°Kid, the other large Mystic Realm Fragments are all occupied¡­¡± Lin Sen: ¡°¡­¡± Although he was a little speechless, Lin Sen thought about it briefly and understood. It was already after school. Before school ended, the corresponding Mystic Realms would probably be occupied by the students. He was late! Lin Sen thought that he would have to wait until the next day. Just as he was about to leave, Elder Hua hesitated. But in the end, he still said it. ¡°There¡¯s only one Mystic Realm Fragment left¡­¡± There was still one Mystic Realm Fragment left? Lin Sen¡¯s heart was suddenly ignited with hope. However, looking at Elder Hua¡¯s expression, Lin Sen knew that the situation might not be as simple as he had imagined. As expected, Elder Hua spoke out at this time and explained. ¡°Currently, the only large Mystic Realm Fragment left is the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. It is also publicly acknowledged by the academy as the most difficult of the large Mystic Realm Fragments!¡± ¡°Generally speaking, the difficulty of a large Mystic Realm Fragment is not low. It requires a two-person team to be able to do this!¡± Elder Hua explained the relevant difficulty to Lin Sen. The small Mystic Realm Fragment was very simple and safe. Just like the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment that Lin Sen had broken through, as long as he did not take the initiative to attack the scarecrows, the scarecrows would not attack Lin Sen. At the same time, even if Lin Sen attacked the scarecrows, as long as he kept a certain distance, he could get rid of the hatred. It could be said that as long as one did not deliberately court death, it was very difficult to be injured in a small Mystic Realm Fragment. This was why small Mystic Realm Fragments were random. This was because no matter how random it was, one would basically not be injured in a small Mystic Realm Fragment. As for the medium Mystic Realm Fragments, there was a certain level of difficulty from here. Students could choose the corresponding Mystic Realm Fragments according to their strength and ability to restrain themselves, etc. As for large Mystic Realm Fragments, the difficulty was extraordinary. When it came to small and medium Mystic Realm Fragments, they were all broken through alone. However, when it came to large Mystic Realm Fragments, two people had to form a team. Lin Sen was puzzled. At this time, how could there be other students coming to challenge the Mystic Realms? Even if there was, the two old men would not allow it. So, he could only go solo? He just did not know if the two old men would allow him to go alone. Just as Lin Sen was about to ask Elder Hua and Elder Zhao if he could apply to challenge the large Mystic Realm Fragment alone, a beautiful figure appeared at the entrance. ¡°Eh? Elder Hua, Elder Zhao, you guys are¡­¡± The familiar voice was as pleasant as a silver bell, making people feel indescribably comfortable. ¡°Lin Sen? You¡¯re here too¡­ Could it be¡­¡± The girl¡¯s long black hair was loose, and she was dressed in a black outfit. With the dim light, she looked like a princess in the night. ¡°Ye¡­ Ye Zhiyuan?!¡± Lin Sen did not expect Ye Zhiyuan to appear here. Elder Hua and Elder Zhao seemed not surprised by Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s appearance. After they saw Ye Zhiyuan, they asked very skillfully. ¡°Zhiyuan, you just came back from challenging a medium Mystic Realm Fragment, are you going to challenge a large Mystic Realm Fragment now?¡± Ye Zhiyuan nodded. She came to Lin Sen¡¯s side and smiled sweetly. ¡°Lin Sen, why are you here so late at night¡­ Could it be¡­¡± Ye Zhiyuan did not continue. Instead, she winked at Lin Sen and hinted crazily. In fact, Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s meaning was very clear. At this time, other than the students who came out from challenging the Mystic Realm Fragments, there were only those who had potential and were not bound by the school rules! On Lin Sen¡¯s side, he responded. ¡°I was lucky enough to obtain the approval of Elder Hua and Elder Zhao, so I can challenge the Mystic Realm Fragment outside the time set by the school.¡± At this point, Lin Sen gradually understood why Ye Zhiyuan had appeared here. Among the students in the same year as Lin Sen, Ye Zhiyuan could be said to be the most popular. It was not limited to Lin Sen¡¯s batch. The entire school enjoyed unique glory. During the awakening ceremony, the other party had awakened the Flying Bird Lord of the large category of alien beast lords. It could control many flying animals. There was once a Flying Bird Lord who controlled the fire phoenix to burn mountains and lakes, creating an era of calamity. From this, it could be seen that the potential of the Flying Bird Lord¡¯s ability was rather terrifying! And Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s strength was indeed very terrifying! Ever since Ye Zhiyuan awakened her ability, she had broken the record of several Mystic Realm Fragments. The Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment that Lin Sen had broken into previously was only one of the several Mystic Realm Fragments that Ye Zhiyuan had refreshed. And with such a potential, Ye Zhiyuan was definitely a student with potential that the academy paid special attention to. Naturally, she did not have to challenge the Mystic Realm Fragment according to the rules set by the academy. ¡°Lin Sen, are you trying to enter the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment?¡± When Ye Zhiyuan heard Elder Hua and Elder Zhao¡¯s mutterings, she frowned and looked at Lin Sen with her beautiful eyes. Chapter 10 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s limpid eyes stared at Lin Sen quietly. Although Ye Zhiyuan and Lin Sen were not in the same class, the two of them had a lot of interactions. The two of them had many similarities. Lin Sen was curious about the rules of this world because he came from another world. He often went to the library to search for relevant information to verify. And so did Ye Zhiyuan. She was also extremely curious about the rules of the world. Back then, when the two of them first met in the library, Ye Zhiyuan had told Lin Sen that in other worlds, there were no lords in the more distant foreign lands. The two of them, who had just entered the school, started an intense discussion on the topic of why there was a lord in this world. Gradually, the relationship between the two of them deepened, from an ordinary passerby to a friend. Lin Sen smiled bitterly at Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s question. He also knew that his actions were a little risky, but at the moment, he desperately wanted to prove his strength and obtain all kinds of resources so that he and his mother could obtain a better life. ¡°From the looks of it, you really want to challenge the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment alone¡­¡± ¡°But Lin Sen, do you know anything about this Mystic Realm?¡± ¡°There are all kinds of wild beasts inside, especially rats that are extremely fast¡­¡± Ye Zhiyuan used her soft voice to explain to Lin Sen about the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. The reason why the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment was so terrifying was mainly because of the word ¡®wild¡¯! The various beasts in the Mystic Realm seemed to have gone crazy as they attacked all the intruders in front of them with all their might. It would be fine if it was a Lord with other abilities, but Lin Sen¡¯s Plant Lord happened to be restrained by this Mystic Realm. ¡°As everyone knows, the weakness of a Plant Lord is his lack of mobility.¡± ¡°Those frighteningly numerous and incredibly fast rats can easily dodge the attacks of the plants and even rush over to bite off the roots of the plants!¡± At this point, Ye Zhiyuan looked at Lin Sen with a smile. ¡°How about that? After knowing this information, do you still dare to challenge the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment alone?¡± At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan had a strange smile on her face. No one could tell what she was thinking. Lin Sen fell silent. He had become a little arrogant just now because he was immersed in the joy of clearing the small Mystic Realm Fragment. After listening to Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s analysis, he calmed down and realized that his Plant Lord ability seemed to be suppressed by the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment¡­ ¡°That¡¯s not right¡­¡± Lin Sen suddenly remembered something. Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s analysis was right, but he, Lin Sen, was different from ordinary plant lords! Lin Sen simulated a battlefield in his mind. In the face of what Ye Zhiyuan had said, there were a terrifying number of rats in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, and these rats were extremely fast. Lin Sen thought that he still had a solution. ¡°Parasitic Thorns!¡± Lin Sen remembered that he had just obtained two seeds. Among them, the Parasitic Thorns could entangle the enemy. Coupled with the ten thousandfold increase in growth speed, he could entangle those rats and make them targets. ¡°Even if some rats are too fast and too small to entangle.¡± ¡°At this time, there¡¯s still the landmine formation as the final defense.¡± Lin Sen pondered. Based on his current configuration, he believed that he could still challenge this Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. There were the Parasitic Thorn for control, Nine Leaf Sword Grass for offense, and Potato Mines for defense. ¡°A perfect lineup!¡± Thinking of this, Lin Sen looked at the beautiful woman beside him and then at Elder Hua and Elder Zhao. Finally, Lin Sen said. ¡°I want to give it a try!¡± Lin Sen didn¡¯t say much, but this sentence had already expressed his determination. Elder Hua and Elder Zhao frowned deeply. The two of them were actually in a dilemma. On the one hand, they also wanted to see if Lin Sen could challenge the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment alone and create a legend. After all, they had all seen Lin Sen¡¯s previous record of clearing the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment. They recognized Lin Sen¡¯s potential and strength. Perhaps, Lin Sen could really clear the copy of the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave? However, on the other hand, as seniors, they did not want to see Lin Sen, a late-stage talent, die midway. What if Lin Sen died in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment? Wouldn¡¯t that be the end of a genius? They wanted to see what kind of miracle Lin Sen could create, but they were afraid that something would happen to him. Unlike the two old men who were in a dilemma, Ye Zhiyuan did not know that Lin Sen had broken into the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment. Ye Zhiyuan was a little angry when she heard that Lin Sen insisted on challenging the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave. ¡°Lin Sen, this is not the time to be stubborn.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t analyzed with you before how terrifying the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment is.¡± ¡°Think about it. What if something happens to you because of this? What will Auntie do?¡± Ye Zhiyuan also knew about Lin Sen¡¯s family situation. In order to persuade Lin Sen, she even mentioned his mother. In Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s mind, Lin Sen cared about his mother the most. As long as Lin Sen¡¯s mother was mentioned, Lin Sen would compromise and not do such risky things. However, what Ye Zhiyuan did not know was that Lin Sen had already planned everything out in his mind. In the face of the monsters in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, Lin Sen had already prepared countermeasures. It could be said that Lin Sen was confident about this trip to the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment! ¡°Thank you for your kind intentions, Zhiyuan. I¡¯ve made up my mind!¡± Lin Sen had already made up his mind. No matter what, he had to enter the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment! Faced with Lin Sen¡¯s firm attitude, Ye Zhiyuan was a little angry. She was so angry that she stomped her feet and her little face puffed up. However, Ye Zhiyuan rolled her eyes and a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth. Ye Zhiyuan said, ¡°Lin Sen, since you insist on challenging the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, we naturally can¡¯t stop you.¡± ¡°But can you bring me along?¡± ¡°With my strength, I shouldn¡¯t make you despise me, right?¡± ¡°Furthermore, with my Lord of Flying Birds¡¯ ability, if there¡¯s any emergency, I can bring you away on a bird creature!¡± Although Ye Zhiyuan did not say it explicitly, Lin Sen still understood the meaning behind her words. To put it tactfully, it was those words above. But to put it more bluntly, if Ye Zhiyuan went along, when they encountered danger, she could protect Lin Sen. Lin Sen sighed in his heart. Ye Zhiyuan was really perfect in all aspects. Even the way she handled things was the same. The other party was afraid that if she said bluntly that if she went along, she could protect Lin Sen, it would hurt Lin Sen¡¯s pride. So she changed to a tactful way of saying it¡­ ¡°Since the great School Belle Ye is willing to team up with me to challenge this Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, how can I refuse?¡± Lin Sen had no choice but to agree to Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s request to form a team. Elder Hua and Elder Zhao were overjoyed. Whether it was Ye Zhiyuan or Lin Sen, they were both juniors that they thought highly of. Now that these two people had joined forces, they were also looking forward to their performance. Under the arrangement of Elder Hua and Elder Zhao, Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan disappeared on the spot with a ray of light¡­ Chapter 11 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the deep canyon, there were steep cliffs on both sides! Lin Sen stared blankly at the environment in front of him as he came to his senses. ¡°Is this the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment?¡± Lin Sen returned to his senses and observed his surroundings. Lin Sen moved his feet. At this moment, a cracking sound came from the ground. ¡°Hiss~¡± ¡°All these dried bones, how many wild beasts have died here?¡± Only then did Lin Sen realize that there was a thick layer of bones under his feet. There were all kinds. From the outline of these skeletons, Lin Sen could roughly guess some creatures. ¡°There are bison, wild boars, birds¡­¡± Lin Sen was at the bottom of the canyon. It was filled with all kinds of bones and looked very terrifying! At this moment, Lin Sen heard that beautiful voice. ¡°Lin Sen, stop thinking about the skeletons on the ground and look ahead!¡± Ye Zhiyuan secretly poked the back of Lin Sen¡¯s neck, reminding him to come back to his senses. Lin Sen looked at the direction Ye Zhiyuan was pointing at. It was in front of the canyon. There was a towering mountain standing there. White clouds lingered in the sky. It looked like a beautiful place. But Lin Sen sucked in another breath of cold air. Dense caves appeared from the middle of the mountain to the top. If he had to describe it, it was probably like a beehive! The mountain in front of him was like countless small holes on the surface of the beehive. There were potholes everywhere, and dense caves appeared. Ye Zhiyuan secretly glanced at Lin Sen and found that he was still in shock. A smile appeared on her face. ¡°Lin Sen, stop daydreaming. The enemy is already here!¡± After Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s reminder, Lin Sen realized that a rat-like creature had run out of the cave in the mountain in front of him. From the outside, it did look like a rat. However, the rat was the size of an adult cat and looked very scary. At the same time, the rat¡¯s eyes were red, as if it had gone crazy. ¡°So, is this the monster in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment?!¡± Lin Sen sighed. At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan made her move. ¡°Go!¡± With a wave of Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s hand, energy surged out of her body and gathered into a white-headed, black-bodied falcon. The white-headed, black-bodied falcon flapped its wings, and a wave of wind came. Whoosh! Whoosh! Strong winds surged and the bones on the ground and gravel on the mountain were blown away! ¡°This is an A-grade alien beast Wind Falcon!¡± Lin Sen did not expect Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s first flying bird alien beast to be an A-grade Wind Falcon. One had to know that even if Lin Sen had a heaven-defying treasure like the 10,000 times amplification, he only had the S-grade Nine Leaf Sword Grass at this stage. And Ye Zhiyuan could actually have an A-grade flying bird alien beast. From this, Lin Sen could deduce that Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s background was definitely not ordinary. After all, the students who awakened their abilities to become lords could only receive initial supplies from the school. These initial supplies included plant-type and alien beast-type resources. The ones with the highest potential were only B-grade. Lin Sen had searched for A-grade and above, but there was none. Therefore, Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s initial A-grade flying bird alien beast was most likely obtained by her family for her. Just as Lin Sen was thinking further ahead, Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s Wind Falcon blew a few gusts of wind, blowing the rat that was wildly squeaking at them from halfway up the mountain. The rat fell to the ground, blood flowing, motionless. ¡°Come back!¡± Ye Zhiyuan elegantly stretched out her fair hand. The white-headed, black-bodied Wind Falcon in front of her flew back with a cry and landed on the back of Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s hand. The Wind Falcon raised its head proudly. It seemed to be saying that the rat was not enough for it to fight with! Lin Sen glanced at the Wind Falcon. He lowered his head and silently arranged the strategic deployment. The weakness of Plant Lords was that they were slow and not agile enough! Planting would take some time.. At the same time, because plants could not move as easily as animals, the planting location and the range covered by the skills had to be calculated. Therefore, the time it took for Lin Sen to calculate the location and plant was extremely long for the ever-changing battlefield. Lin Sen had been observing, calculating, and preparing to grow plants ever since he realized that he had arrived at the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. ¡°Nine Leaf Sword Grass¡­ This environment is not suitable!¡± Lin Sen had considered planting the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. However, after thinking about it, with the straight attack trajectory of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, it was very difficult to execute it in this narrow canyon. Even if he wanted to use the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, he had to first use Parasitic Thorns to entangle the enemy. Only then would the Nine Leaf Sword Grass have room to attack! Thinking of this, Lin Sen had already made up his mind to plant the Parasitic Thorns first. At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan saw Lin Sen¡¯s serious expression. She smiled. ¡°How is it? Are you frightened by this scene?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± ¡°With me around, you can just watch the show from the back!¡± ¡°Be quiet and wait to win!¡± Ye Zhiyuan stared at Lin Sen as she spoke. She seemed to be looking forward to seeing Lin Sen¡¯s expression. Lin Sen smiled and said nothing. If Ye Zhiyuan could solve the problem alone, that would naturally be great. But if Ye Zhiyuan could not solve it, he had already arranged a backup plan. Just as Lin Sen thought of this, the rat that seemed to have fallen to its death trembled slightly. ¡°Eh?¡± ¡°Is that thing still alive?¡± Ye Zhiyuan looked at the rat suspiciously, and she was about to ask the Wind Falcon to finish it off. But at this moment, the rat let out a sharp cry. ¡°What does that mean?¡± ¡°Is it crying because it is dying?¡± Ye Zhiyuan was very puzzled by the behavior of that rat. After the cry that came from the rat, the same cries came from the mountain in front of them. In the cave, one scream after another came. From the halfway point to the top of the mountain, the entire mountain emitted a shrill cry. Hearing this, Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan covered their ears with their hands. Soon, Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan felt the ground shake. The mountain in front of them began to shake. ¡°What the hell happened?¡± ¡°Is this an earthquake?¡± ¡°Damn it, the echoes produced by the countless caves on this mountain are too terrifying!¡± Ye Zhiyuan did not seem to realize what had happened. She thought that the countless cries that came after the rat let out a cry were because of the special nature of the mountain, that the countless caves and the conditions of the canyon caused the sound to echo in the countless caves and increase continuously. In the end, it became the situation where the entire mountain was reverberating with the shrill cry. However, Lin Sen realized that this was not the case! Chapter 12 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Rats! Densely packed rats the size of adult cats crawled out of the caves. Those rats¡¯ eyes were bloodshot and revealed endless madness. They were very terrifying! ¡°Isn¡¯t this too great a number?¡± Ye Zhiyuan was so frightened that her face turned pale. Before she entered this Mystic Realm Fragment, she had thought about what she would encounter next. She had also considered the attack by countless rats. However, the situation like what was before her of an entire mountain and countless caves with rats crawling out densely like ants, had indeed exceeded her expectations. ¡°These guys are indeed different from the ones in the small Mystic Realm Fragment. They all know how to call for reinforcements¡­ No, they all know how to call for rats!¡± Lin Sen recalled the small Mystic Realm Fragment that he had cleared. In the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment, the intelligence of those scarecrows and the rats in front of them were simply worlds apart! When he was in the small Mystic Realm Fragment, he walked up to the scarecrows, they did not even know to attack him. Even when he provoked the scarecrows, as long as he distanced himself from them, they would lose their hatred. After that, even if Lin Sen approached the scarecrow that he had provoked previously, the scarecrow would not take the initiative to attack Lin Sen as if he was a stranger. However, the monsters inside the large Mystic Realm Fragment were indeed very different from the small Mystic Realm Fragment! ¡°Lin Sen, retreat! I¡¯ll cover you!¡± Ye Zhiyuan commanded the Wind Falcon to fly to the front. The strong wind and waves blew away many rats. However, more and more rats ran out of the cave. They chirped noisily. Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan felt their heads buzzing. Suddenly, the Wind Falcon let out a loud cry. It turned out that a rat had jumped up and bitten the Wind Falcon¡¯s wing. At this moment, the Wind Falcon was flying in the air unsteadily, as if it was afraid of those rats! ¡°Oh no¡­¡± Ye Zhiyuan did not expect that the Wind Falcon would be bitten by a rat while flying in the air. This situation was not in her strategic plan at all. With the Wind Falcon¡¯s injury, Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s plan was disrupted. She was momentarily at a loss. Ji, Ji! Countless berserk rats gathered. They did not pounce on Ye Zhiyuan immediately. Instead, they surrounded her first. It was as if they would pounce on their prey together when they had the advantage in numbers. There were more and more. In a few breaths, Ye Zhiyuan was surrounded by a tall rat wall. The rats piled together and formed a two-meter-tall rat wall. Ji! As if a certain rat had given an order, the rat wall instantly collapsed. Countless rats pounced on Ye Zhiyuan. ¡°It¡¯s over. I am actually going to die here!¡± ¡°As expected of the most difficult large Mystic Realm Fragment¡­¡± ¡°I was¡­ careless¡­¡± Facing the countless rats that pounced on her, Ye Zhiyuan seemed to have given up struggling. She closed her eyes and quietly waited for death. But at this moment, Ye Zhiyuan felt something appear under her feet. Then, something seemed to wrap around her and lift her up. Three seconds later, Ye Zhiyuan did not feel the pain of being bitten by a rat. She braced herself and opened her eyes. The scene in front of her stunned her. At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan was lifted up by a vine. The dense rats below were either gnawing on the roots of the vine or piling up to form a rat wall to attack Ye Zhiyuan. ¡°This vine¡­ Lin Sen, is this your plant?¡± Ye Zhiyuan looked into the distance. Lin Sen, who was in the distance, was also lifted up by the vines like her. While Ye Zhiyuan was shocked, the cry of a Wind Falcon came from the horizon. The Wind Falcon, who had been traumatized by the rats due to its injury, did not dare to rush down to save Ye Zhiyuan. However, at this moment, Ye Zhiyuan was lifted up high by the vines. Seeing that there were no rats below that could reach it, it flew down and grabbed Ye Zhiyuan away from the rat tide below. ¡°Lin Sen¡­¡± ¡°Thanks!¡± Ye Zhiyuan was caught in the air by the Wind Falcon. There were countless words in her heart that she wanted to say, but when the thousands of words reached her mouth, they turned into a thank you. On the ground, Lin Sen was supported by the vines. The rats below were constantly piling up, getting higher and higher. Sooner or later, they would crawl along the vines to reach Lin Sen. Ye Zhiyuan could also see that Lin Sen was in a very dangerous situation. She said, ¡°Hold on!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll get the Wind Falcon to save you later!¡± Ye Zhiyuan looked at the sky above the canyon. She planned to let the Wind Falcon send her to the top of the canyon where the rats could not reach. Then, she would ask the Wind Falcon to enter the canyon and bring Lin Sen over. However, before Ye Zhiyuan could order the Wind Falcon to take her away, something happened below that overturned her worldview. The vines on the ground were growing at a terrifying speed. Vines spread out, densely packed, as dense as the rat tide. In a few breaths, countless vines covered the ground and bound the rats on the ground. ¡°What¡­ what kind of plant is this?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t that too scary?¡± Ye Zhiyuan gradually realized that it was not that simple for Lin Sen to be appreciated by Elder Zhao and Elder Hua. A few seconds later, the rats on the ground that were bound by the vines gradually shriveled and turned into dried carcasses. ¡°These vines are too evil!¡± ¡°Not only does it have such a terrifying growth speed, but it can also extract the life force of rats!¡± ¡°How¡­ terrifying¡­¡± The way Ye Zhiyuan looked at Lin Sen gradually changed. Perhaps, the friend she thought she knew well enough, her understanding of him was only the tip of the iceberg! On the ground, as the rats struggled, they turned into dried carcasses, one after another. There were only a few minutes left. The rats that had been chasing after the two of them had all turned into dried carcasses! Seeing that the crisis seemed to have been resolved, Ye Zhiyuan asked the Wind Falcon to send her to the ground. Ye Zhiyuan accidentally stepped on a vine and was greatly frightened. She was afraid that she would be entangled by the vines like those rats and become a dried corpse. Fortunately, those vines were controlled by Lin Sen. After Ye Zhiyuan accidentally stepped on the vines, the vines took the initiative to make way for Ye Zhiyuan. Just as Ye Zhiyuan thought that the situation had improved, the ground began to tremble again! It was different from the tremor just now. The tremor just now was caused by countless cries, causing the ground to shake. This time, the tremor came from the mountain in front of them. The mountain began to shake, as if a stone giant was about to stand up! Chapter 13 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations The mountain in front of them was constantly shaking, as if it was alive! ¡°Oh no, is this mountain alive?¡± Lin Sen wasn¡¯t sure what was happening to this mountain, but it was always right to plan ahead! ¡°Go!¡± Following Lin Sen¡¯s order, countless vines surged over like a tide and wrapped around the mountain. He had to restrain that mountain first! However, this could not go on! Lin Sen frantically analyzed how to deal with the scene in front of him. First of all, Parasitic Thorns didn¡¯t seem to work. If that mountain was alive, it probably wouldn¡¯t take long for it to break free. Secondly, although the Nine Leaf Sword Grass was very aggressive, there was only one Nine Leaf Sword Grass, so its attack power was limited. Thinking about it, Lin Sen only had one last trump card left. ¡°Potato mines!¡± Under normal circumstances, Potato Mines were not even as good as the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. After all, at his stage as a novice Plant Lord, the plant seeds he had obtained were a few at the most, more than ten. It was difficult for these Potato Mines to deal with the scene in front of them. Not to mention the big mountain that seemed to be coming to life, just those mutant rats that were still not dead yet and were coming out incessantly, they could trigger the Potato Mines with just a few of them. As a result, the Potato Mines that Lin Sen had carefully planted would be wasted! However, no one would have thought that after Lin Sen used the 10,000 times amplification, the number of Potato Mines had increased from a single amplification to 10,000! 10,000 Potato Mines. If word got out, everyone would be terrified! After a simple analysis, Lin Sen had already made a rough strategic deployment. That was to use Potato Mines to blow up the mountain that seemed to be coming to life! However, Lin Sen suddenly thought of a serious problem. Even with the help of the Rapid Planting skill, it would take him quite a bit of time to plant 10,000 potato mines. Moreover,it would not be good for him to plant them piece by piece in the terrain in front of him. What should he do? Seconds ticked by. Although Lin Sen had been planning in his mind for so long, only a minute or two had passed in the outside world. As time passed, the tremors emitted by the mountain became more and more obvious. Countless mutant rats fled as if they were frightened. Lin Sen had thought about letting Ye Zhiyuan sow Potato Mines with him, but after thinking about it, it was obviously unrealistic. It was unrealistic for two people to plant the seeds of 10,000 Potato Mines in such a complicated place in a short period of time. At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan came to Lin Sen¡¯s side with the help of the Wind Falcon. Seeing this, Lin Sen¡¯s eyes lit up. He seemed to have noticed something. When Ye Zhiyuan came to Lin Sen¡¯s side, her face was full of surprise. ¡°Lin Sen, I didn¡¯t expect you to hide it so well.¡± Ye Zhiyuan was shocked by Lin Sen¡¯s ability. However, Lin Sen did not show any reaction to Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s praise. Instead, his expression was solemn. Lin Sen looked at the beautiful woman beside him and said. ¡°Classmate Zhiyuan, how many more birds do you have?¡± If it was any other classmate, perhaps Lin Sen wouldn¡¯t have counted on it. After all, they were both novice lords. The birds obtained by the other classmates would probably not be many. At most, there would be two or three. However, the person in front of him was not anyone else, but Ye Zhiyuan! Ye Zhiyuan was known as a mysterious young lady who was the convergence of wisdom, talent, beauty, family background, and many other factors. Therefore, Lin Sen had reason to believe that Ye Zhiyuan probably had more than one or two birds! Ye Zhiyuan still did not understand what Lin Sen was up to. Seeing that her praise had failed and that Lin Sen did not seem to care about it at all, Ye Zhiyuan felt a little depressed. Ye Zhiyuan rarely praised others, especially the opposite sex. In the end, her deliberate praise was ignored by the other party. Although she was a little depressed, Ye Zhiyuan did not have any prejudice against Lin Sen because of this. On the contrary, from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Lin Sen thinking seriously. Looking at his side profile, Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s lips curled into a faint smile. ¡°Indeed, serious men are especially handsome! Ye Zhiyuan sighed inwardly. Then, Ye Zhiyuan answered Lin Sen¡¯s question. ¡°Birds¡­ There are about ten of them¡­¡± More than ten of them! Lin Sen could not help but sigh. This was the value of the descendants of big families. The resources were not something ordinary people could compare with. Look at Lin Sen. Even if he had nurtured the plant seeds on the spot and obtained the recognition of the Teacher Ren in the academy, he had only obtained three seeds at this stage. If it was Ye Zhiyuan, there would be more than ten plant seeds! Of course, Lin Sen did not think that Ye Zhiyuan could only get a dozen birds with her ability. Ye Zhiyuan probably walked the path of quality and only chose useful birds. Otherwise, there would definitely be more than that. Then, Lin Sen thought about it. Because of the 10,000 times amplification, he had tens of thousands of Potato Mine seeds¡­ Alright, how could the matter of cheating be compared to ordinary situations? After a little sigh in Lin Sen¡¯s mind, he instructed. ¡°Classmate Zhiyuan, please get these birds to help me sow these plant seeds!¡± Lin Sen took out a pile of Potato Mine seeds. When Ye Zhiyuan saw this, she became numb. One, two, three¡­ ¡°Lin Sen, did you empty the school¡¯s inventory?¡± Ye Zhiyuan found it hard to imagine. With Lin Sen¡¯s current background and financial resources, where did he get so many plant seeds? Moreover, what was the use of plant seeds? Although Ye Zhiyuan didn¡¯t know what Lin Sen¡¯s purpose was, she trusted him and summoned all her birds. ¡°That area, and this area¡­¡± Lin Sen commanded the birds to plant Potato Mines in the area he pointed at. Ye Zhiyuan played along. But as time passed, Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s expression gradually changed. From the initial shock to numbness, to finally looking at Lin Sen as if she was looking at a monster. Too many! There were too many of Lin Sen¡¯s plant seeds! Not dozens, not hundreds! Ye Zhiyuan estimated that there were at least a few thousand plant seeds! Under Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s control and Lin Sen¡¯s instructions, the birds scattered countless Potato Mine seeds from the sky. As for Lin Sen, he activated the Rapid Planting skill and let the Potato Mine seeds that were scattered from the sky take root on the ground. At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan couldn¡¯t hold back her curiosity and asked Lin Sen. ¡°Lin Sen, what are these plant seeds? What are they used for?¡± Ye Zhiyuan moved her head closer to Lin Sen and stared at him with her beautiful eyes. Just as Lin Sen was about to reveal his plan, the mountain in front of him continued to change just as Lin Sen had expected. Two huge red dots of light appeared at the top of the mountain that was shaking. Eyes! It was a pair of scarlet eyes! The mountain broke free from the vines and revealed its original posture. Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s trembling voice sounded. ¡°So this mountain is actually the Rat King¡¯s body!¡± Chapter 14 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Rat King! Even though Lin Sen didn¡¯t know much about this Mystic Realm Fragment, he was aware of it when he saw that behemoth. The other party was probably the leader of these mutant rats! ¡°This¡­ How can we be a match for it?¡± Ye Zhiyuan shook her head and her face turned pale! The behemoth in front of her gave her a sense of despair. They couldn¡¯t beat it! Novice lords like them would definitely not be able to defeat it! ¡°No wonder the school allows students to form teams for large Mystic Realm Fragments.¡± ¡°We were too rash!¡± Ye Zhiyuan felt a little regretful at this moment. She had been too arrogant. She had just cleared the medium Mystic Realm Fragment and thought that the large Mystic Realm Fragment was only so-so. Who knew that this large Mystic Realm Fragment would bring her deep despair! In front, the huge Rat King stood up, and countless vines were torn apart. It was like a demon that had broken free from its shackles! Ji!!! The Rat King let out a roar that resounded throughout the world. ¡°Lin Sen, we¡­ are dead meat!¡± Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s face was filled with despair. The behemoth in front of them stared at the two of them with its scarlet eyes that emitted endless killing intent. Ye Zhiyuan and Lin Sen had seen a rat before, but this was the first time they had seen such a huge rat! The Rat King shook slightly. The rocks and soil on its body were shaken off one after another, revealing its original appearance. It was a huge rat with gray hair. There were a few obvious scars on its ears which seemed to be left behind from previous battles. ¡°It has been sleeping here for a long time. As time passed, countless dust accumulated and its body was covered with a layer of soil and rocks.¡± ¡°So much so that we thought at first that it was a huge mountain!¡± Lin Sen swallowed his saliva. Facing this behemoth, the shock in his heart was no less than Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s. ¡°Why? Why would we encounter something like the Rat King?¡± ¡°This shouldn¡¯t be the case in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. The other Lords who passed through this Mystic Realm only faced wild beasts.¡± ¡°This is not something new lords like us, or even the other lords in the school, can deal with!¡± Ye Zhiyuan muttered to herself as if she had lost her soul. She couldn¡¯t understand. She had heard of the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment and had also studied it. After all, she had already cleared the medium Mystic Realm Fragment. The next challenge was the large Mystic Realm Fragment, so she still had this bit of information. The appearance of the Rat King in front of her completely overturned her understanding. She did not understand what kind of luck she and Lin Sen had to encounter the Rat King. As for Lin Sen, he thought for a moment and analyzed why they had encountered the Rat King. Under normal circumstances, they should have fought these mutant rats with their wits and courage and broken through in the end. However, the Parasitic Thorns he summoned, coupled with the 10,000-fold amplification, killed a large number of mutant rats. The tragic cries of these rats woke the Rat King up¡­ In other words, if not for Lin Sen, the Rat King might not have woken up! However, unlike Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s panic, Lin Sen was calmer. Whether it was the Rat King or any other beast kings, in front of his tens of thousands of Potato Mines, they were just paper tigers. At this moment, the Rat King stirred! The giant Rat King slowly walked towards Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan. Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s birds were trembling in fear. Ye Zhiyuan had a bitter expression on her face. When she thought that there was no other way, she realized that the situation had reversed! The giant Rat King in front of them slowly took a step forward. Then, a violent explosion sounded. Boom boom boom! Its limbs were blasted and drenched in blood. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Lin Sen, did you do this?¡± Ye Zhiyuan could only think of Lin Sen! She did not think that Lin Sen¡¯s previous arrangements were useless. However, Ye Zhiyuan still could not figure out what the seeds planted by Lin Sen were. What kind of seed would explode after being planted? Just when Ye Zhiyuan was pondering, the Rat King in front of her let out a sharp cry again. The Rat King seemed unconvinced. It did not stop because of the obstruction from a few potato mines. ¡°Shit!¡± Seeing the Rat King¡¯s posture, Ye Zhiyuan realized that the Rat King in front of her might be about to charge. But before Ye Zhiyuan could say anything, the Rat King had already charged over. Ye Zhiyuan subconsciously closed her eyes. However, what followed was countless explosions. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Explosions filled the air. Ye Zhiyuan opened her eyes curiously. She saw a very spectacular scene. The Rat King in front of her seemed to be charging into a minefield. Every step it took would land on countless mines. It was also at this moment that Ye Zhiyuan guessed what kind of plant Lin Sen had planted! ¡°Potato mines!¡± Ye Zhiyuan exclaimed the plant that Lin Sen had just planted. However, just like before, Ye Zhiyuan still could not figure out where Lin Sen had gotten so many Potato Mine seeds. In front of him, the spectacular scene continued. The Rat King kept moving forward, and the Potato Mines kept exploding. In the blink of an eye, the Rat King that made people feel despair from just looking at it, had already been blasted into a bloody mess. Finally, the Rat King could not hold on any longer. The Rat King¡¯s limbs shook, and the entire rat fell. And this fall was even more deadly! Originally, only a few Potato Mines were triggered by the Rat King¡¯s limbs. As it fell, its huge body triggered even more mines. Boom! Boom! Boom! The Rat King let out a huge cry. It struggled, trying to crawl away and leave this minefield. However, what the Rat King did not know was that Lin Sen had planted Potato Mines all around the area. No matter where the Rat King went, he had to pass through the minefield! In the end, amidst the Rat King¡¯s sorrow, it collapsed once and for all, and never got up again. The seemingly colossal and insufferably arrogant Rat King died just like that! Ye Zhiyuan looked at the scene in front of her with her mouth agape. She had never thought that the unpromising Potato Mines, which were numerous to a certain extent, would be so terrifying after being set up as a mine array. Ye Zhiyuan secretly glanced at Lin Sen with a complicated expression. Before entering the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, she had thought that she was protecting Lin Sen. Unexpectedly, Lin Sen was the one protecting her in the end. This made Ye Zhiyuan unable to calm down for a long time. ¡°But the feeling of being protected seems pretty good¡­¡± Ye Zhiyuan looked up at the sky, thinking about something. On Lin Sen¡¯s side, he looked at the scene. There were still a large number of Potato Mines that had not been detonated, so he put them away to be used when he encountered other enemies in the future. Chapter 15 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Before they left the Mystic Realm Fragment, Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan received a message in their minds. Superb evaluation! The two of them worked together and obtained a superb evaluation in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, the most difficult of the large Mystic Realm Fragments! ¡°This ¡­¡± Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s expression was extremely complicated. If it were any other time, she would only take it for granted when she received such an evaluation. But now, facing such a superb evaluation, Ye Zhiyuan felt very upset for a moment. Because this so-called superb evaluation had little to do with her. The one who really contributed was Lin Sen! Because of this battle, how many Potato Mines had Lin Sen used? For special plants like Potato Mines, detonating one would count as one. The more were used, the less would be available. This was a terrifying consumption for Lin Sen! Just as Ye Zhiyuan was thinking about it, relevant information about the reward came. [Congratulations to Lord Lin Sen for clearing the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment¡­] [Congratulations to Lord Ye Zhiyuan for clearing the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment¡­] [The team has received 100,000 points, 1,000 Energy Stones, 10 Rapid Growth Pills¡­] At this moment, Lin Sen realized that if two people formed a team, the reward notification would be different from that of a single person. If it was a solo battle, the reward that Lin Sen received would be Lin Sen¡¯s. However, here, the notification was the team¡¯s reward! In other words, these rewards belonged to the whole team. The two of them had to split the loot! Lin Sen looked at Ye Zhiyuan and took the initiative to speak. ¡°Classmate Zhiyuan, how about we split the reward equally?¡± ¡°100,000 points, 50,000 for you and 50,000 for me¡­¡± Before Lin Sen could finish speaking, Ye Zhiyuan, who had her eyes closed, shook her head. After a while, Ye Zhiyuan opened her eyes and stared straight at Lin Sen. She said, ¡°You can have them all!¡± Ye Zhiyuan gave up voluntarily and left all of the reward to Lin Sen. Because of Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s actions, Lin Sen was momentarily at a loss. ¡°How¡­ how can I do that?¡± ¡°After all, we worked together to get this.¡± When Lin Sen said this, Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s expression was very complicated. ¡°The two of us together¡­ In fact, my usefulness is limited.¡± ¡°Even without me, the Potato Mines you planted could still kill the Rat King.¡± ¡°Whether it¡¯s the vines from earlier or the Potato Mines later, these have nothing to do with me. They¡¯re all your own efforts.¡± As Ye Zhiyuan spoke, she recalled the scene when she heard that Lin Sen was going to challenge the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. At that time, Ye Zhiyuan would never have thought that Lin Sen really had this ability when he said that he wanted to single-handedly take on the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. From the beginning, Ye Zhiyuan had only let the Wind Falcon show off a little when they entered the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. Later on, she had sent the birds to help Lin Sen sow the Potato Mine seeds. Even without her, when faced with the mutant rats earlier, Lin Sen could still use vines to entangle the mutant rats. Then, Lin Sen planted Potato Mines and killed the Rat King! Therefore, after a simple analysis, Ye Zhiyuan believed that Lin Sen really did have the ability to take on the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment alone. She felt bad about taking this reward. Most importantly¡­ ¡°In a sense, you saved me. These rewards are not enough to repay you¡­¡± ¡°Besides¡­¡± ¡°You think I¡¯m short of resources?¡± Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s words immediately dispelled Lin Sen¡¯s feeling of guilt from what Ye Zhiyuan had said about giving him all the rewards. Lin Sen instantly figured it out. ¡°What I need isn¡¯t these rewards, but the ¡®fame¡¯ of clearing the most difficult of the large Mystic Realm Fragments, the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment.¡± ¡°Now that you¡¯ve brought me through the Mystic Realm, as a price, I¡¯ll give you my reward.¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t it reasonable to settle this score?¡± When Ye Zhiyuan said this, Lin Sen did not hesitate anymore. Instead, he nodded and accepted the gift. For large Mystic Realm Fragments teams, the rewards had to be distributed only with the agreement of both parties. At that moment, Lin Sen put all the rewards for this trip under his name, and Ye Zhiyuan cooperated with him and confirmed her consent for this. In an instant, Lin Sen¡¯s points reached 100,000! In an instant, Lin Sen entered the top ten of the school¡¯s total score ranking, which happened to be the tenth! At the same time, in the outside world, among the large Mystic Realm Fragments, the most difficult one, the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, had been cleared. The teachers in charge of managing the Mystic Realm Fragments found out this news. Of course, the fact that he had only cleared the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment was not enough to make the teachers make a fuss. Although the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment was the most difficult of the school¡¯s Mystic Realm Fragments, many students had cleared it. What really surprised the teachers in charge of the Mystic Realms was that they had broken through this most difficult Mystic Realm Fragment and also obtained a superb evaluation! When this news spread, the school was abuzz with excitement. The other students checked the rankings one after another. As expected, they saw two names occupying the first and second place in the rankings of the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. ¡°Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan!¡± In the relevant rankings of the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, the first place was Lin Sen, and the second place was Ye Zhiyuan. Everyone was very familiar with Ye Zhiyuan and knew who she was. When they found out that Ye Zhiyuan had gotten a superb evaluation, everyone thought that it was only natural. But Lin Sen¡­ Although Lin Sen was popular, he was not as famous as Ye Zhiyuan. Many people did not know who Lin Sen was. Seeing that Lin Sen had taken first place in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, many people began to discuss who this Lin Sen was. ¡°Two superb evaluations made it onto the rankings at the same time. Could it be that Ye Zhiyuan and Lin Sen teamed up to clear the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment?¡± Some students discovered the connection and spoke out. ¡°Very likely!¡± ¡°I know this Lin Sen. He¡¯s a Plant Lord. It¡¯s impossible for him to pass the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment with his ability. Ye Zhiyuan must have taken him through!¡± Everyone discussed animatedly. ¡°I¡¯m so envious. Not only can he team up with Ye Zhiyuan, but he can also live off her.¡± ¡°If it¡¯s me, I don¡¯t have high expectations. If I can team up with Ye Zhiyuan, I¡¯ll do anything for her! I don¡¯t even dare to think about living off a woman!¡± Many people were envious that Lin Sen could form a team with Ye Zhiyuan. There were also some who were envious that Lin Sen could live off a woman and let Ye Zhiyuan carry him through. At the very least, other than Ye Zhiyuan, no one would have thought that it was Lin Sen who had carried Ye Zhiyuan through. Even Teacher Ren, who had a better understanding of Lin Sen, and Elder Hua and Elder Zhao, who were in charge of managing the Mystic Realm Fragments, knew that Lin Sen¡¯s strength was not low. After all, they knew that Lin Sen had obtained a superb evaluation in the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment. Faced with this matter of the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, they also thought that Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan had cooperated to break through it together. No matter how they thought about it, they would never have thought that Lin Sen was the one who carried both through. Not long after, Lin Sen returned to the school from the Mystic Realm Fragment. He was going to exchange for rewards. Chapter 16 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations At the reward exchange place, Elder Hua and Elder Zhao looked around, but Ye Zhiyuan was not there. Only Lin Sen was there. Elder Zhao was curious and asked Lin Sen. ¡°Kid, where¡¯s the young lady?¡± ¡°The two of you should be here to exchange for rewards, right?¡± Elder Zhao had a good opinion of both Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan. Seeing the two well-regarded juniors working together, Elder Zhao had the intention to matchmake them. After Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan left the Mystic Realm Fragment, Ye Zhiyuan left and never came back. Only Lin Sen was waiting to exchange for the reward. Therefore, when he did not see Ye Zhiyuan return, Elder Zhao could not matchmake both of them even if he wanted to. Elder Zhao and Elder Hua did not know, but Lin Sen knew. At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan probably did not want to stay here anymore because her heart was too conflicted. She wanted to be alone. Elder Zhao¡¯s wait was destined to fail. However, Lin Sen did not betray Ye Zhiyuan. Instead, he covered for her. ¡°Classmate Zhiyuan has something on¡­¡± Lin Sen did not elaborate on what it was about. The more he said, the more loopholes there would be. He simply said that Ye Zhiyuan had something on, so he left. This gave Elder Zhao and Elder Hua ample space to think and let the two elders think for themselves. Elder Zhao was a little vexed because of Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s departure. It was not easy for him to be interested and wanted to play the role of a matchmaker, but in the end, he encountered such a thing and felt a little defeated. However, Elder Hua caught some information from Lin Sen¡¯s words. ¡°Kid, are you addressing her affectionately as Zhiyuan?¡± Elder Hua looked at Lin Sen with a smile and began to tease him. Elder Zhao, who felt defeated because of what had just happened, suddenly perked up when he heard this. Elder Zhao looked at Lin Sen thoughtfully. ¡°Kid, it seems like the two of you have a close relationship?¡± ¡°At first, I thought that Ye Zhiyuan, that young lady, was kind-hearted and couldn¡¯t bear to see you die alone in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, so she teamed up with you.¡± ¡°But from the way you addressed her as Zhiyuan¡­¡± Elder Zhao deliberately did not finish his sentence. He stopped at this point, making people¡¯s imagination run wild. Lin Sen felt uncomfortable being teased by the two old men. He admitted that he had some feelings for Ye Zhiyuan. After all, he was a normal man. It was inevitable that he would have feelings for a beautiful girl. However, it was really different from what the two old men had guessed. At the moment, they were just ordinary friends¡­ To cover his embarrassment, Lin Sen decided to change the subject. The topic to change to was naturally about the exchange of rewards. ¡°Elder Zhao, Elder Hua, I want to exchange for rewards!¡± When Lin Sen said this, the two old men became serious. They no longer had the teasing smiles from before. Elder Zhao checked the relevant information and said. ¡°Kid, considering that you¡¯ve obtained a superb evaluation for the most difficult Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment of the large Mystic Realm Fragments, which at the same time, is also the best result so far, you have obtained a double reward!¡± A double reward?! When Lin Sen heard this, his breathing quickened. Lin Sen did not need to use his points to exchange for this reward. Instead, it was a reward from the school for clearing the Mystic Realm Fragment and obtaining outstanding results! Elder Hua nodded and reminded him, ¡°Currently, you can obtain two new lord skills and two new plants!¡± Two new skills! Two new plants?! Lin Sen clenched his fists tightly. This reward was already very luxurious for him! The only skill Lin Sen had at the moment was Rapid Planting, which was a huge help to him. If he did not have this Rapid Planting skill when he was facing the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, while he could have used Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s birds to sow a large number of Potato Mine seeds, the seeds that were sown would not have grown! It was undoubtedly a time-consuming task for Lin Sen, if he did not have the Rapid Planting skill, to grow these seeds. It was very likely that when Rat King had whipped Lin Sen¡¯s corpse countless times, not even a tenth of those Potato Mines would have sprouted! The three plant seeds he had obtained previously had an important role. The Nine Leaf Sword Grass allowed him to obtain a superb evaluation in the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment, while the Potato Mines and Parasitic Thorns allowed Lin Sen to successfully clear the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment and obtain a superb evaluation. It also made Ye Zhiyuan look at him in a different light! It could be said that currently, Lin Sen¡¯s skills and plants were all very useful! ¡°Then, start to make your choice!¡± Elder Hua instructed Lin Sen that he could choose two skills and two plants from the existing fixed inventory! ¡°I¡¯m very curious. What kind of skill will you choose?¡± The first choice was the lord skill! As the name suggested, the lord skill was one that only lords could use. After a lord used it, it would either increase the lord¡¯s own strength or increase the strength of the lord¡¯s subjects. ¡°It¡¯s time for a very conflicted choice again!¡± Lin Sen¡¯s gaze swept across the countless skills. Choosing a skill was the same as choosing a plant. Getting a good combination was very important! He could choose two skills and Lin Sen could do a simple combination! After scanning for a long time, Lin Sen finally confirmed two skills. ¡°The first skill, I choose Jungle Leap!¡± Jungle Leap was a skill exclusive to Plant Lords. Wherever the vegetation covered, the lord¡¯s movement speed would greatly increase. At the same time, it could teleport short distances. Seeing Lin Sen¡¯s first selection, Elder Hua and Elder Zhao nodded in satisfaction. Lin Sen¡¯s choice was excellent. As a Plant Lord, Lin Sen had already possessed Rapid Planting previously. This meant that Lin Sen could sow plant seeds in a short period of time, creating a dense vegetation terrain. Coupled with the Jungle Leap ability, Lin Sen could become very agile and could attack, retreat, and defend. ¡°The second skill, I choose [Plant Partner]!¡± After Lin Sen said his choice, Elder Hua and Elder Zhao looked like they had expected it. Jungle Leap could give Lin Sen, the lord, an extremely agile ability. What Lin Sen lacked now was an attack method! As a lord, summoning his subjects to fight was a very orthodox battle method. However, the strength of the lord was also very important. Many times, if the lord could not summon his subjects in time, the lord would have to participate in the battle himself. The Plant Partner ability allowed Lin Sen to use various plants as his combat weapon. To put it simply, flowers and leaves could hurt people, and grass, bamboo, and stones could be used as swords! In particular, the higher the potential of a plant and the higher its level, the more damage it could cause as a weapon! ¡°Next, it¡¯s the choice of plants. I choose the Iron Birch Tree and the Walking Grass!¡± Lin Sen had carefully selected these two plants. The Iron Birch Tree had a very powerful defensive ability. The aged Iron Birch Tree was like an iron wall in front of him, forming a solid shield. As for the Walking Grass, it might not look promising, but if this thing grew up, it could become the legendary Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower. It would be a capable subordinate. These two plants needed a long time to cultivate and it would take a long wait before they could achieve the strategic configuration that Lin Sen wanted. However, Lin Sen had the Seed of Amplification, so he could ignore this process! Under Elder Hua and Elder Zhao¡¯s puzzled gazes, Lin Sen chose a combination of plants that they could not understand. They were the Iron Birch Tree and the Walking Grass. In the end, Elder Hua and Elder Zhao could not understand Lin Sen¡¯s choice as they watched him depart. Chapter 17 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In the lord¡¯s school. As usual, Lin Sen continued to attend cultural classes. On the way, he passed by the class next door. Suddenly, a beautiful girl walked out of the classroom and waved at Lin Sen. That person was Ye Zhiyuan! It was different from the incomparably complex inner emotions she had when she cleared the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment together with him. At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan seemed to have thought it through. She looked at Lin Sen with a bright smile and greeted him. ¡°Good morning, Lin Sen!¡± With Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s greeting, the pressure on Lin Sen multiplied. This was because countless gazes in the classroom were converging on Lin Sen. Whether it was boys or girls, they were all looking at Lin Sen! It had not been long since the matter of receiving a superb evaluation in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. Everyone still remembered the name Lin Sen. At this moment, Lin Sen felt that it was very difficult to respond to Ye Zhiyuan. He did not know whether to respond or not. If he responded, those boys¡¯ gazes would probably kill him! If he did not respond, wouldn¡¯t he offend Ye Zhiyuan? It was just an ordinary greeting from a girl. It would be rude of him not to respond! In the end, Lin Sen greeted Ye Zhiyuan with a stiff expression. Then, Lin Sen found an excuse and left in a hurry. Lin Sen did not even turn his head. The pressure of being watched by countless people was too great! Lin Sen did not want to stay there any longer. Just when Lin Sen ran to a remote corner and was about to turn from there to his classroom, he heard what seemed to be the sound of a bell behind him. ¡°Lin Sen, what are you afraid of?¡± ¡°Is it really so shameful to talk to me that you don¡¯t want to talk to me in front of everyone?¡± There was a hint of bitterness in Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s tone. Lin Sen was dumbfounded. ¡°Shameful? How is this so?¡± Lin Sen could not understand what Ye Zhiyuan was thinking. Why would she think that Lin Sen would have such thoughts? How could talking to Ye Zhiyuan in front of everyone be a shameful thing? However, Lin Sen did not need to ask. Ye Zhiyuan had already said it. ¡°It must be!¡± ¡°I couldn¡¯t help much in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment.¡± ¡°I even gave up struggling and closed my eyes to wait for death because of that terrifying crisis!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve seen all this ugliness, haven¡¯t you? You must think that I¡¯m a super lousy girl and disdain to be associated with me?¡± When Ye Zhiyuan said this, Lin Sen instantly understood what she was thinking. The other party was really bothered because of what happened back then! He, Lin Sen, had long forgotten about that matter. Why was it that the hurdle in the other party¡¯s heart could not be overcome? For a moment, Lin Sen did not know what to say. He could only explain that this was not the case. ¡°Zhiyuan, I never had such an idea¡­¡± ¡°No? Then why did you ignore me when I greeted you just now? I¡¯ve always seen your look of disdain like it¡¯s a waste of time to talk to me!¡± Hearing Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s explanation, Lin Sen felt a headache coming on. Even though he had lived two lives, he felt that girls were really unreasonable sometimes. He clearly did not have those thoughts, but the other party thought so. ¡°That¡¯s not true. It¡¯s clearly Classmate Zhiyuan who¡­¡± When Lin Sen was about to say it, he thought about what words to use. At this moment, Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s lips curved into a crescent shape. ¡°Oh~¡± ¡°Lin Sen, don¡¯t stop talking halfway.¡± ¡°Explain yourself clearly. What is it about me?¡± Ye Zhiyuan stretched out her snow-white neck and leaned her head close to Lin Sen. At this moment, Lin Sen could even smell the pleasant smell of shampoo in the other party¡¯s hair, as well as the girl¡¯s natural fragrance. Hearing Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s words, Lin Sen started to stammer. ¡°Well¡­¡± ¡°Classmate Zhiyuan¡­ that¡­¡± Lin Sen held it in for a long time before saying it. ¡°I wanted to say that because¡­ because Classmate Zhiyuan¡­ you are too charming¡­¡± ¡°At that time, everyone treated me like an enemy. I¡­ was under a lot of pressure¡­¡± Lin Sen¡¯s mental fortitude was quite good. He quickly calmed himself down and explained the situation clearly. ¡°Oh, oh!¡± ¡°Because of this reason, you decided to abandon me as a friend?¡± Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s attitude was aggressive, as if she was forcing Lin Sen to make a choice. Lin Sen was about to explain. Ye Zhiyuan burst into laughter. ¡°Hehe, alright, alright~¡± ¡°Lin Sen, I won¡¯t tease you anymore.¡± Ye Zhiyuan instantly returned to her usual diva-like state from her earlier resentful look. She smiled brightly. ¡°Although I was just teasing you earlier,¡± ¡°what you said just now will be used as evidence in court!¡± ¡°So, I can take it that you were praising my beauty just now, right?¡± Lin Sen was a little dumbfounded when he saw School Belle Ye¡¯s expression. To be honest, after interacting with Ye Zhiyuan for so long, the two of them discussed academic issues the most, discussing and studying the various books in the library. Therefore, in Lin Sen¡¯s impression, Ye Zhiyuan had always been a quiet literary girl. However, the Ye Zhiyuan in front of him had obviously overturned Lin Sen¡¯s impression of the gentle and quiet girl! ¡°Cough, cough!¡± ¡°Then, Classmate Lin Sen, I appreciate your praise just now.¡± Ye Zhiyuan saw that Lin Sen¡¯s expression kept changing. It was very interesting. She covered her mouth and snickered. She looked like a student in class who wanted to laugh but did not dare to. After a while, Ye Zhiyuan regained her usual expression. Her expression turned serious. ¡°Lin Sen, I¡¯m looking for you this time to inform you of something. Congratulations on obtaining the qualifications to participate in the Military Region Selection!¡± Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s expression was serious. Coupled with the topic she had mentioned, Lin Sen immediately reacted. ¡°Military Region Selection¡­ Wait, when did I get the qualifications?¡± Lin Sen had heard about the Military Region Selection, but when did he get the qualifications? ¡°When we cleared the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment!¡± A sly look appeared on Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s face. She blinked and told Lin Sen. ¡°The rule of the Military Region Selection is to conduct the pre-selection from various schools. The students with the top ten points can participate in the selection. After successful selection, they can enter the military!¡± ¡°And when you cleared the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, the points you obtained happened to get into tenth place!¡± Points in tenth place?! Lin Sen looked at Ye Zhiyuan with a complicated expression. Back then, Ye Zhiyuan had given all the rewards, including points, to Lin Sen on the grounds that she had not contributed much and that it was Lin Sen who had worked hard to clear the Mystic Realm. Otherwise, if the two of them had split it evenly, Lin Sen would only get 50,000 points. Even if he had lost 10,000 points, Lin Sen would not be able to get into the top ten. Was this all a coincidence? Or¡­ had Ye Zhiyuan planned this all along? Chapter 18 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations In Lin Sen¡¯s memory, in this special world, although the technology tree was similar to the 21st century in his previous life, in terms of the world¡¯s structure, this world was worlds apart from Lin Sen¡¯s previous life. In the world that Lin Sen was in in his previous life, there were a total of over a hundred countries, big and small, in the entire world, and the structure was one superpower with multiple major powers. However, in this world, the current structure was divided into five military regions! In the entire world, there were no countries, only military regions! The world was divided into five military regions: east, west, north, south, and center. ¡°You should know that because of the existence of the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, our world has formed a special structure dominated by military regions.¡± Ye Zhiyuan and Lin Sen both liked to visit the library. They had learned about the situation in other worlds from the library. In comparison, the situation in this world was indeed a little strange. The five military regions were constantly sending talents to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, so the military regions had a special status. Those who could join the military regions also had extraordinary power! At the same time, the five military regions were also important to stabilize the world structure! To the humans of this world, being able to join a military region was already a very good outcome! ¡°During the long battle of ten thousand tribes, the countries that once existed gradually disappeared. One country after another vanished and it evolved into five military regions!¡± Ye Zhiyuan and Lin Sen had learned that there used to be countries in this world. At that time, there were countless countries and numerous conflicts between them. However, ever since the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races appeared, every world and every race would head to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. Specifically, what was in the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races was worth countless worlds and ten thousand races gathering here to fight? Lin Sen and Ye Zhiyuan did not know about this for the time being. They only knew that in that old era of countless countries, the various countries sent talents to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races, causing them to be dragged down by the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races. In the end, one country after another disappeared and it evolved into the current structure. ¡°Out of the five military regions, we in the east are the weakest among the north, south, east, west and center.¡± ¡°In order to replenish fresh blood and nurture talents, the military of the Eastern Military Region made these selection rules.¡± Ye Zhiyuan explained. Lin Sen nodded, indicating that he understood. At this moment, he gradually recalled some information that he had overlooked previously. In school, it started with small Mystic Realm Fragments, then medium Mystic Realm Fragments, and then large Mystic Realm Fragments. After clearing the large Mystic Realm Fragments, one would obtain the qualifications to enter the official Mystic Realm! As for the Military Region Selection, it was held in the official Mystic Realm! At the same time, Lin Sen had also obtained the top-ten points in the academy. In summary, he was already qualified to enter the official Mystic Realm and participate in the selection! ¡°So, unknowingly, I¡¯ve already reached this step¡­¡± Lin Sen was a little emotional. All this time, Lin Sen had been trying his best to change his family¡¯s current situation. Once upon a time, he had envied his stepbrother many times. Lin Sen had thought many times about how great it would be if he could join the military. At this moment, Lin Sen¡¯s expression became complicated again. Countless memories surged in his mind. Ye Zhiyuan saw all of this. She reminded Lin Sen. ¡°Lin Sen, isn¡¯t your stepbrother quite powerful?¡± ¡°Because he joined the military, your stepfather took advantage of his power to do as he pleased and countless bad friends came to befriend him when they heard the news?¡± ¡°However, I¡¯m afraid you still don¡¯t know that your stepbrother didn¡¯t get a military position at all. Strictly speaking, he¡¯s just an outsourced contract worker!¡± ¡°If you can pass the selection and officially join the military, I believe your mother will definitely be able to live a better life with you!¡± Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s words pierced Lin Sen¡¯s heart. His stepbrother, whom he had always envied, was just an outsourced contract worker. He did not even have an official military unit? Then, if he could get an official position and join a military region, wouldn¡¯t he be able to easily change his current life? Not to mention that he could enjoy life and have a bright future, at the very least, his mother could enjoy life and not be so tired. She could have money to treat her illness! Thinking of this, Lin Sen clenched his fists and made up his mind. This time, he had to be selected no matter what! ¡°Classmate Zhiyuan, thank you for your reminder. Otherwise, I might have missed a major opportunity!¡± Lin Sen was grateful for the information Ye Zhiyuan had given him. This information was something he did not know at the moment. After all, his background was ordinary and he did not have any channels to know. Ye Zhiyuan shook her head slightly. ¡°You¡¯re too polite, Lin Sen!¡± ¡°In fact, if I didn¡¯t tell you this, the relevant teachers in the school would find you soon and tell you this information.¡± ¡°After all, you¡¯re in the top-ten ranking!¡± When Ye Zhiyuan mentioned the top-ten ranking, she even winked at Lin Sen, as if she was hinting at something. At this moment, Lin Sen understood. If the Rat King had not appeared, Lin Sen would not have had the chance to show his strength. Then, after relying on Ye Zhiyuan to pass the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment alone, Ye Zhiyuan would also find an excuse to give the points to him, Lin Sen, so that he, Lin Sen, would have the qualifications to participate in the Military Region Selection! For a moment, Lin Sen felt even more complicated. ¡°Alright, that¡¯s all I have to tell you. I¡¯ll take my leave first. I don¡¯t want others to see us whispering here, and spread all kinds of rumors that will ruin my reputation!¡± Although Ye Zhiyuan said that, she could not stop the smile on her face, as if she did not care about the so-called rumors. Not long after Ye Zhiyuan left, Lin Sen, who had returned to the classroom, was found by Teacher Ren. Just as Ye Zhiyuan had said, the other party had specially come to inform Lin Sen to prepare for the Military Region Selection. ¡°Teacher, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll prepare well. I won¡¯t embarrass the school!¡± Lin Sen assured Teacher Ren. He was not representing himself to participate in the Military Region Selection, but the school! No matter what grades he obtained, it would affect the school to varying degrees. ¡°Kid, don¡¯t feel too burdened.¡± ¡°I know your potential, but there are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the Military Region Selection. If you accidentally encounter a powerful opponent and fail, you have to calm down. At most, you can participate next year!¡± Teacher Ren helped Lin Sen with the thought process and also provided a more detailed explanation of the rules. Lin Sen, on the other hand, was listening attentively. He had to win this Military Region Selection! Chapter 19 Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Heavenly Hub City Military Region. A young man in a uniform was arranging the information in his hand when a voice sounded. ¡°Chen Li, this is the list of students that are eligible to participate in the selection in our Heavenly Hub City this year.¡± A colleague handed over the booklet. Chen Li nodded and gave it a cursory glance. As a staff member in charge of selecting talents in the Heavenly Hub City Military Region, Chen Li needed to review those who met the requirements. He had to see if these people really fit the bill. When Chen Li received the booklet, he had mixed feelings. Although he was now in charge of recruiting talents in the Military Region, this was only outsourced! He couldn¡¯t even get into a Military Region unit! And these people on the list had the qualifications to participate in the selection! In the future, these people might become official members of the Military Region! For a time, Chen Li was slightly envious in his heart. With mixed feelings, when Chen Li was browsing the name list, he unintentionally saw an unexpected name. ¡°Heavenly Hub Lord Academy, Lin Sen?!¡± When Chen Li saw this name, his breathing quickened. ¡°Impossible¡­ It shouldn¡¯t be him!¡± Chen Li kept consoling himself. ¡°Maybe it¡¯s just the same name¡­ and¡­ they¡¯re from the same school¡­¡± Chen Li noticed that the person called Lin Sen was also studying in the Heavenly Hub Lord Academy. He felt that the possibility of Lin Sen being his younger brother was greater! ¡°How could that guy have such strength?¡± ¡°According to the time, he only awakened his ability a few days ago and became a lord!¡± ¡°It¡¯s impossible for a novice lord to reach the standard to participate in the selection of the Military Region in a few days!¡± Chen Li could not believe it. After a simple analysis, he believed that his guess was right. That person was definitely not his younger brother, Lin Sen! Therefore, the Lin Sen on the list must be someone with the same name and happened to be from the same school! Although he thought so, Chen Li still felt more and more uneasy. When Chen Li¡¯s colleague saw the name list and realized that Chen Li was staring at a certain spot on the list, the colleague seemed to have thought of something. The colleague took the name list from Chen Li. ¡°Eh? I¡¯ve heard of Lin Sen¡­¡± Hearing this, Chen Li suddenly turned his head and looked at his colleague. The colleague did not seem to realize the seriousness of the matter and continued to complain. ¡°This Lin Sen is really talented. I heard that he just became a lord not long ago. Moreover, he¡¯s a Plant Lord that¡¯s very difficult to develop in the early stages.¡± He had just become a lord? Plant Lord? Both characteristics matched! Chen Li¡¯s heart skipped a beat as he realized that something was wrong. This time, before the colleague could finish speaking, Chen Li took the initiative to ask him. ¡°Has he just become a lord not long ago? The Plant Lord that is the most difficult to develop in the early stages? Then how did he meet the requirements for the Military Region Selection?¡± Chen Li believed that this was the crux of the problem! The qualifications to participate in the Military Region Selection were rigid, but people were alive. As a living being, there were many ways to circumvent this rigid rule¡­ When his colleague heard Chen Li¡¯s question, he frowned as if he could not figure it out either. However, his colleague still answered Chen Li¡¯s question. ¡°I heard that he participated in the large Mystic Realm Fragment challenge of Heavenly Hub Lord Academy and cleared the most difficult large Mystic Realm Fragment!¡± ¡°Therefore, he obtained a large number of points and became one of the top ten students in Heavenly Hub Lord Academy!¡± At this point, Chen Li seemed to have understood something. ¡°Is there a possibility that he cheated in the large Mystic Realm Fragment?¡± When Chen Li said this, his colleague stared at him with wide eyes. Although his colleague found it hard to believe that a novice lord could do this, the Heavenly Hub Lord Academy was not to be trifled with. Whether he cheated or not, the corresponding personnel of the academy would verify it. Basically, when it came to the Military Region Selection, very few people dared to cheat. However, Chen Li¡¯s question was something that he could not figure out. How could a student who had just become a lord do this? ¡°Why don¡¯t we ask the teachers of Heavenly Hub Lord Academy?¡± His colleague gave his suggestion. However, Chen Li shook his head in denial. ¡°No, we can¡¯t alert them!¡± ¡°If that guy really cheated, it¡¯s impossible for a student with an ordinary background like him to do so, there must be other connections behind him.¡± ¡°To dare to tamper with the Military Region Selection at this juncture, the power behind him is not simple. If we find out, it will be a big fish!¡± ¡°When the time comes, you and I will definitely rise steadily because of this. We might even have the chance to join the official Military Region unit!¡± Chen Li¡¯s suggestion was that they should not tell Heavenly Hub Lord Academy the truth first. Instead, they should find other excuses to investigate the truth in that large mystic realm fragment! ¡°Li, that¡¯s a good idea!¡± His colleague was praising Chen Li¡¯s idea. However, what his colleagues did not know was why Chen Li was so enthusiastic about this matter. It was definitely not because there were other forces behind this. If he investigated, he would be rewarded by the Military Region. It was because he did not want Lin Sen to participate in the selection! ¡°That bastard couldn¡¯t get along with me before he joined the military region. He shouted at me and my father.¡± ¡°If we let him join the Military Region and become an official member, wouldn¡¯t he be even more lawless?¡± Every time Chen Li returned home, he and his father would instruct Mo Rou to sweep the floor and cook, but Lin Sen would always stop them. ¡°That b*tch lost her man. She ate my food, and lived in my house. Doing all these chores, isn¡¯t that what she was supposed to do?¡± ¡°That bastard Lin Sen even said that woman is my father¡¯s wife and my mother, and we need to understand each other¡­¡± ¡°Bah!¡± Chen Li came to an empty corner and punched the wall hard. Lin Sen believed that although Chen Li was not Mo Rou¡¯s biological son, she was still Chen Li¡¯s mother in name. Not to mention how much Chen Li had to be respectful toward Mo Rou, but he also could not order Mo Rou here and there like Chen Li¡¯s father, Chen Yun, as if she was a servant. However, Chen Li did not approve of this so-called mother. He believed that since she lived and ate at his house, what was wrong with ordering her like a servant, and letting her do chores? All these could be regarded as paying for protection fees. As a result, Chen Li and Lin Sen¡¯s beliefs had always been at odds. If it was not for Lin Sen¡¯s achievement in getting into the Heavenly Hub Lord Academy, and having this identity and background, Chen Li would have probably killed Lin Sen secretly through other means. But now, he realized that Lin Sen had a chance to make a comeback. If Lin Sen participated in the Military Region Selection, if he outshined and joined the military, the other party would be able to make a comeback¡­ Chen Li would never allow it! ¡°I must find evidence that he cheated and cancel his qualifying chance!¡± ¡°I must crush him to death and not give him a chance to turn things around!¡± Not long after, Chen Li successfully applied to enter the large Mystic Realm Fragment to investigate¡­ Chapter 20 - Territorial Area Chapter 20 Territorial Area Lin Sen was still unaware of Chen Li¡¯s actions. Lin Sen was still in class. ¡°Students, let me teach you about matters relating to your territorial areas as lords!¡± Ren Changge was the teacher. On the podium, he explained to everyone some of the knowledge after becoming lords. ¡°As everyone knows, every lord in our lord¡¯s world has their own small world inside himself.¡± ¡°This small world might only be the size of a palm at first. As the lord¡¯s strength and the development of the territory and other circumstances increase, the territorial area will continue to increase!¡± At this point, the students discussed animatedly. Everyone was discussing the size of their respective territorial areas. At this moment, a classmate was a little impatient. He raised his hand and asked a question. ¡°Teacher, the territorial area in my body is already the size of a basketball court. Is it considered outstanding among the novice lords?¡± Lin Sen had a deep impression of the student who raised his hand to ask. The other party was a famous rich man in his class. His parents were very rich and had gotten him many resources. Therefore, it was reasonable for the other party¡¯s territory to develop faster than the other students. Before Teacher Ren could answer, another student was shocked. ¡°What? The size of a basketball court?¡± ¡°Damn, Young Master Wu, why are you so powerful? The territorial area in my body is only one square meter.¡± The shocked expression of the student who spoke showed how different the territory in Young Master Wu¡¯s body was compared to ordinary students. Not long after, Teacher Ren also opened his mouth and acknowledged the value of the territorial area in Young Master Wu¡¯s body. ¡°Student Wu Xuan is right. Generally speaking, after awakening and becoming a lord, which has only been a few days, and the territorial area in your body is able to reach the size of a standard basketball court, this is already very outstanding.¡± Teacher Ren¡¯s words caused an uproar in the class. Everyone looked at Wu Xuan. Some were envious, some were jealous¡­ The topic of everyone¡¯s discussion now was the size of their internal territorial area. As expected, Lin Sen was quietly asked by his classmates. ¡°Hey, Lin Sen, what¡¯s the territorial area in your body?¡± The size of his territorial area? Lin Sen¡¯s consciousness entered the territory of his inner body. What appeared in front of Lin Sen was a vast green grassland. It was difficult for Lin Sen to calculate the exact area. However, if he were to compare it with a reference object, Lin Sen estimated that it was about the size of four standard football fields combined! Previously, Lin Sen¡¯s territorial area was not that big. Over the past few days, with the acquisition of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, the acquisition of tens of thousands of Potato Mines, and the acquisition of the Parasitic Thorns¡­ The territorial area in Lin Sen¡¯s body kept changing. It was already the size of four standard football fields! Lin Sen thought that he should keep a low profile and not reveal the size of his body to scare his classmates for the time being. However, Teacher Ren did not know what Lin Sen was thinking, nor did he know the size of the territorial area in Lin Sen¡¯s body. It was purely because Teacher Ren could not stand the sight of Wu Xuan showing off in class because he had a territorial area the size of a basketball court, so Teacher Ren decided to teach him a lesson. If he wanted to treat Wu Xuan, he would definitely have to find a classmate with a larger territorial area than Wu Xuan to douse him with cold water. This was to make Wu Xuan realize that he was not the most outstanding one! And of all the students in the class, Teacher Ren thought the most highly of Lin Sen. Although Teacher Ren did not know the size of the territorial area in Lin Sen¡¯s body, based on Lin Sen¡¯s potential and his achievements, his data was definitely better than Wu Xuan¡¯s! Hence, Teacher Ren looked at Lin Sen and spoke out. ¡°Student Lin Sen, tell me, what¡¯s the territorial area in your body?¡± Lin Sen: ¡­ || Faced with his classmates¡¯ questions, Lin Sen was prepared to keep a low profile and brush this matter off. Who knew that Teacher Ren would take the initiative to ask this question? Lin Sen knew that he could not avoid it, so he finally answered. ¡°Teacher, the territorial area in my body is about the size of four standard football fields¡­¡± Four¡­ standard football field size?! At this moment, not to mention the students, even Teacher Ren was shocked! That of the most outstanding in the class, Wu Xuan, was only the size of a standard basketball court, but Lin Sen¡¯s was the size of four standard football fields? For a moment, the entire class looked at Lin Sen. ¡°Four standard football fields?! Is Student Lin Sen that good?¡± ¡°Looks like Student Lin Sen¡¯s ability to enter the top 10 and clear the most difficult large Mystic Realm Fragment is truly because of his strength!¡± ¡°I knew it. Lin Sen isn¡¯t the kind of person who lives off a woman!¡± Everyone discussed in low voices. Especially the girls in the class. The way they looked at Lin Sen had changed. They had heard rumors that Lin Sen was living off Ye Zhiyuan. None of them agreed, but they could not say anything. Now, the data of the territorial area in Lin Sen¡¯s body gave them confidence. Lin Sen was not a freeloader! The discussion in the classroom did not last long. Teacher Ren looked at Wu Xuan¡¯s defeated expression. Satisfied, he interrupted the students. ¡°Next, I¡¯m going to talk about the lord tactics and the combination chosen by the people!¡± At this point, Lin Sen remembered that he had new plants, the Iron Birch Tree and the Walking Grass. Strategies and matching combinations were things that Lin Sen had been researching and applying. While Teacher Ren was explaining the knowledge, Lin Sen had also planned the combination of these two plants in his heart. ¡°Iron Birch Tree¡¯s amplification years have made it a 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree. It has become an iron wall that blocks the enemy in front.¡± ¡°The Walking Grass increases the growth speed. After it grows to its limit, it will evolve into the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower that can devour everything!¡± ¡°Plant the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower behind the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree. When the enemy approaches the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree and is thinking of a way to break through the obstruction of the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree, what greets them will be the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower to eat them in one bite!¡± When Lin Sen was planning this, a combination from a game in his previous life inexplicably appeared in his mind. That was the tall nuts and man-eating flowers in Plants vs Zombies¡­ After class, Teacher Ren found Lin Sen. ¡°The first Mystic Realm of the Selection is Zombie Garden. Go back and prepare well.¡± The information about the first round of the preliminaries was out. When Lin Sen heard it, he nodded gratefully. What Lin Sen did not know was that his stepbrother, Chen Li, had already arrived at the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment the traces left behind by Lin Sen when he broke into the Mystic Realm. to investigate While Lin Sen was preparing for the Zombie Garden Mystic Realm, he remembered that he still had a large number of Potato Mines left in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. Lin Sen muttered softly. ¡°What a huge loss. After successfully clearing the Mystic Realm, I was forced out. There¡¯s still a pile of Potato Mines buried there.¡± Chapter 21 - The "Gifts" Lin Sen Left Behind Chapter 21 The ¡°Gifts¡± Lin Sen Left Behind Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. At this moment, Chen Li had used the name of the Military Region to obtain the qualifications to enter the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. ¡°Li, why is this place filled with shriveled carcasses?¡± Accompanying Chen Li was his good colleague, Zhang Dachui. Chen Li looked at the scene in front of him and frowned. He realized that he was in a canyon. There were all kinds of rat carcasses everywhere. However, the strange thing was that these rat carcasses were all shriveled, as if something special had sucked away the flesh and blood in the rats¡¯ bodies! ¡°Hmph!¡± ¡°Lin Sen, I caught you in the act, right?¡± ¡°You must have used something forbidden¡­¡± When Chen Li saw the rat carcasses all over the ground, he was overjoyed. The situation onsite was a little strange. The way these rats died seemed to be caused by some forbidden evil technique or prop. Chen Li was here to find incriminating evidence against Lin Sen. When he saw this scene, he immediately labeled Lin Sen with a cauldron of evil spells and prohibited items. Zhang Dachui, who was beside Chen Li, did not know that Chen Li was using his position to take revenge. After seeing the shriveled carcasses all over the ground, he took out a special crystal. As for Chen Li, he could not wait to leave the Mystic Realm Fragment and return to the Mystic Region. The evidence had been found, regardless of whether it was true or not. As long as they reported the information to the Military Region, they would definitely investigate Lin Sen. Regardless of the outcome of the investigation and whether Lin Sen had violated the rules or not, Lin Sen would definitely not be able to continue participating in the Military Region Selection. If he missed this year¡¯s selection, he could only wait for the next year! This was Chen Li¡¯s plan! However, at this moment, Chen Li¡¯s good colleague, Zhang Dachui, was holding a crystal in his hand and talking to Chen Li excitedly. ¡°Li, we¡¯re rich!¡± ¡°Looking at the shriveled carcasses on the ground, it looks like evil spells and prohibited items had been used¡­¡± When Zhang Dachui said this, Chen Li¡¯s face was filled with disdain. He had already guessed it, but Zhang Dachui still said this with a look of taking credit for it, as if Zhang Dachui had guessed it first. Chen Li was a little disdainful of Zhang Dachui, but his attitude quickly changed. At this moment, Zhang Dachui placed the crystal in his hand in front of Chen Li. ¡°Li, this is the legendary Backtracking Crystal. It can project scenes that a creature has seen in its mind!¡± ¡°Although this place is full of rat carcasses, if we find a living rat¡­¡± ¡°That rat must have witnessed what happened earlier. It must have seen with its own eyes what kind of sorcery Lin Sen used or what kind of contraband he used.¡± After Zhang Dachui¡¯s explanation, Chen Li finally understood that Zhang Dachui was truly a genius! The other party happened to have such a tool. This would press Lin Sen to death, such that he would never be able to revive! ¡°Let¡¯s go find the living rats!¡± Chen Li could not wait to start looking for living rats. ¡°There are many caves ahead. Perhaps there are living rats there!¡± Chen Li discovered a huge mountain not far away. There were many caves in the mountain. Rats loved such dark holes! Chen Li stepped forward happily. BOOM! The ground instantly exploded and Chen Li was blasted into the sky. ¡°Bastard!¡± Fortunately, Chen Li¡¯s strength was extraordinary. He did a somersault in the air and finally landed steadily. However, at this moment, Chen Li¡¯s hands were covering his legs. Although he was not obviously injured, his legs were still affected. ¡°Dachui, this place¡­¡± Chen Li was about to say that someone had planted a mine underground. He told Zhang Dachui not to advance rashly. However, Zhang Dachui had already gone a little far in the blink of an eye. The other party walked very steadily and did not trigger any mines. ¡°Could it be that this is just an exception?¡± Chen Li was a little puzzled. He guessed that the landmine he accidentally stepped on was just an accident. Zhang Dachui was alive and kicking in front of him, completely fine. Chen Li also regained his confidence. ¡°Dachui, wait for me!¡± Chen Li jogged over¡­ BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! Chen Li ran all the way and stepped on countless landmines, causing them to explode. ¡°Dachui¡­¡¯ Chen Li lay on the ground and looked at Zhang Dachui in front of him in confusion. Zhang Dachui seemed to have realized something. ¡°There really are a lot of mines in this place, huh?¡± ¡°Wait, I think I understand. The shoes I¡¯m wearing are Flowing Cloud Shoes. When I step on landmines, surface mechanisms, and other items¡­, they won¡¯t be triggered.¡± Chen Li, who was covered in injuries, was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood. He finally got up and was about to leave when he accidentally stepped on another landmine. BOOM! ¡°Who is it? Bastard!!!¡± On Chen Li¡¯s side, he accidentally bumped into the ¡°gifts¡± left behind by Lin Sen. On the other side, Lin Sen had already arrived at the arena to listen to the relevant rules. ¡°All candidates, please listen to the rules.¡± ¡°The preliminaries will be divided into three rounds!¡± ¡°The first round will be held in the Zombie Garden¡­¡± The preliminaries were divided into three rounds. The first round was the Zombie Garden in the Mystic Realm. The Mystic Realm would be divided into countless small venues. Every student had to persist in their own small venue for 30 minutes. Students who persevered could advance to the second round of the competition. ¡°The second round will be a competition between the key schools in the various Military Regions to choose the top three to advance!¡± Hearing this, Lin Sen realized that the second round was even more intense than the first! At the very least, there was no clear number of people in the first round. As long as he could last for 30 minutes, it was fine. Even if everyone persisted for 30 minutes, everyone could advance. But the second round was different! Currently, in each of the five regions of north, south, east, west, and central, the top three had to be selected from the key schools. There were a total of five key schools in the Eastern Region where Lin Sen was located. They were the Heavenly Hub No.1 High School, Heavenly Hub No.4 High School, and the Heavenly Hub Lord Academy. These five key schools could only have three spots! From this, it could be seen how intense the competition was! ¡°As for the third round, it¡¯s related to the inter-military region battle. We won¡¯t reveal it here for the time being!¡± The relevant personnel of the Military Region kept everyone in suspense and did not finish speaking. But everyone knew that it did not matter whether they said it or not. Because only three people could participate in the third round. Most of them would not have the chance to participate in the third round. ¡°Students, get ready. We¡¯re about to enter the Zombie Garden Mystic Realm!¡± Following the military personnel¡¯s notification, countless lights burst out from the ground of the arena where everyone was, and runes appeared one after another. It was the same feeling as entering the Mystic Realm Fragment. When the dazzling light dissipated and Lin Sen saw the world in front of him clearly, he realized that he had arrived at the Zombie Garden Mystic Realm. Chapter 22 - Mystic Realm, Zombie Garden Chapter 22 Mystic Realm, Zombie Garden ¡°Is this the first Mystic Realm, the Zombie Garden?¡± Lin Sen looked at the arena in front of him and felt a little emotional. He was in a vast garden. The ground was covered in green grass and hundreds of flowers were blooming. Further away, the periphery of the garden was surrounded by an iron net, making it impossible to easily escape the range of the garden. [Candidates, please take note that a large wave of zombies is attacking¡­] A notification sounded. At that moment, Lin Sen realized that there were indeed a few zombies swaying and slowly walking over from the end of the road. ¡°That¡¯s probably the zombies¡¯ lair behind us!¡± Currently, the zombies¡¯ attacks were not good, and their speed was still very slow. Lin Sen still had enough time to think and study. At this moment, under Lin Sen¡¯s gaze, he discovered that at the end of what was ahead, there were a few holes in the fence of the garden. Every hole looked into an even more chaotic and dilapidated area where countless zombies gathered. Lin Sen could vaguely see that the place was like a dilapidated city. It was as if there had been a biochemical crisis there a long time ago. Countless humans had lost their lives, leaving only zombies and these ruins. ¡°Is this the world outside the garden?¡± ¡°How terrifying!¡± ¡°In comparison, this garden is already quite safe for us!¡± Lin Sen¡¯s heart tightened. He began to feel curious about the so-called Mystic Realm. This Mystic Realm before him, Lin Sen had divided it into two areas. One area was the garden. The candidates had to stay in the garden for 30 minutes. If anyone felt that he could not hold on any longer, he could call for help at any time. At this time, the military would forcibly drag the candidates back into the Mystic Realm. The other area seemed to be a wider world with countless zombies. At the same time, that place seemed to have once been a bustling city. There might be some treasure hidden there¡­ ¡°The others are probably thinking about how to defend against the zombies¡¯ attacks.¡± ¡°But I¡¯m different. My goal is clear¡­¡± Lin Sen stared at the zombies¡¯ lair, that dilapidated city. He believed that there would most likely be some things there. They could either be valuable or worthless, either useful or useless. No matter what, Lin Sen had already made his decision. He was not satisfied with defending against the zombies¡¯ attacks. Instead, he wanted to kill his way into the zombies¡¯ lair. ¡°If I can get something valuable, perhaps I can¡­¡± Lin Sen was a little excited. The biggest difference between an official Mystic Realm and a Mystic Realm Fragment was that everything in an official Mystic Realm could be brought out! As for the Mystic Realm Fragments, the items inside could not be brought out; they could onoy be turned into points. Therefore, Lin Sen was thinking that if he obtained something valuable in the Zombie Garden, he might not have to wait until he finished three rounds to join the Military Region. He would have enough money to improve his family¡¯s life! Then, Lin Sen began to analyze. Although many candidates were taking the assessment in the same Mystic Realm, Lin Sen could not see any other candidates at the moment. This meant that the Zombie Garden Mystic Realm was very big. Lin Sen guessed that perhaps the Zombie Garden Mystic Realm was once a world similar to the Blue Planet in his previous life. But the biochemical crisis had broken out, and the entire world was on its way to destruction. Later on, the entire world turned into a Mystic Realm. After the experts of the Military Region discovered this Mystic Realm, they tampered with it and artificially divided out many small venues for the assessment. The place where Lin Sen was currently located was one of the countless small venues. Currently, many candidates were also facing assessments elsewhere in this Mystic Realm. At this moment, in Heavenly Hub City. A few hosts on the Heavenly Hub Channel were giving a simple explanation of the Military Region¡¯s assessment. Images of candidates in the Mystic Realm quickly appeared. These images were captured by the drones. Every candidate participating in the assessment would have a drone following him or her. On one hand, it was to prevent the candidates from cheating. For example, in the first assessment, the rules were that the candidates had to resist the zombies in the Garden Mystic Realm and could advance after 30 minutes. During this period, the candidates were not allowed to escape from the garden and were not allowed to use methods other than the lord¡¯s ability to avoid the zombies¡¯ pursuit. Escaping from the garden was easier to understand. However, not using methods other than the lord¡¯s ability to avoid the zombies¡¯ pursuit¡­ Some candidates could fly in the air with some special items and last for 30 minutes to advance. Some candidates used special tools to dig holes in the ground to escape the zombies¡¯ attacks¡­ All in all, these were prohibited! The second reason for the drone tracking was to drive traffic. The situation of each candidate was broadcasted and watched by countless people to increase the viewership ratings and traffic. In the show, a female host held a list of names, and an image of a girl appeared on the show. ¡°The candidate we¡¯re going to introduce next can be said to be a genius of a generation.¡± ¡°She¡¯s a third-year high school student from Heavenly Hub Lord Academy. She just awakened her lord ability not long ago, but she has already set countless records in Heavenly Hub Lord Academy.¡± ¡°She is the Lord of Flying Birds, Ye Zhiyuan!¡± In the picture, Ye Zhiyuan appeared in a garden similar to Lin Sen¡¯s. At this moment, a huge eagle carried Ye Zhiyuan on its back and looked down at the zombies slowly walking over from the sky above the garden. ¡°No matter what, this Ye Zhiyuan will definitely advance steadily!¡± When everyone saw this scene, they all believed that Ye Zhiyuan had definitely advanced. The host had already explained the relevant rules to everyone. Candidates were not allowed to use methods other than the lord¡¯s ability to avoid the zombies¡¯ pursuit. However, the eagle summoned by Ye Zhiyuan was one of Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s Lord of Flying Birds¡¯ lord abilities. In other words, Ye Zhiyuan could completely ride on the back of the eagle and escape the pursuit of the zombies in the sky above the garden. As long as she did not break out of the garden, she could advance after 30 minutes. After all, the zombies could not fly. It was impossible for them to hit Ye Zhiyuan who was in the sky. ¡°A steady advancement? Not necessarily!¡± ¡°If that huge eagle can¡¯t keep circling in the air for 30 minutes, and there will be more and more zombies in the later stages, the moment it lands to rest, it will be surrounded and torn apart by countless zombies!¡± Some of the audience analyzed that it was impossible for Ye Zhiyuan to use the Lord of Flying Birds¡¯ ability to stay in the air and avoid the zombies until the end of the competition. However, there were also people who immediately retorted. ¡°Ha! Do you think she only has one bird?¡± ¡°Wrong!¡± ¡°She has many birds!¡± ¡°Even if one is tired, she can summon a second one and continue to dodge the zombies in the air!¡± Everyone was arguing about Ye Zhiyuan. There was no doubt that Ye Zhiyuan was the one who received the most attention and the highest viewership rate in this competition. As soon as the program director switched the camera, countless people started to curse the program director, shouting that they wanted to see Ye Zhiyuan. In the live broadcast on the Internet, there were countless comments shouting only wanted to look at Ye Zhiyuan, that they and that if the program director switched the camera to Ye Zhiyuan, they would add chicken drumsticks and so on to the program director¡¯s meal box tonight. When some companies saw that Ye Zhiyuan was so popular, they even thought of contacting her and sponsoring her with advertisements. This kind of thing was nothing out of the ordinary for the Military Region Selection. Most of the popular candidates were sponsored by companies. At this moment, when the program team was introducing the candidates, they introduced Lin Sen. Chapter 23 - Strategic Arrangement Chapter 23 Strategic Arrangement ¡°The next candidate I¡¯m going to introduce is also from the Heavenly Hub Lord Academy.¡± ¡°He¡¯s Plant Lord Lin Sen¡­¡± In the program, the image of Lin Sen calmly observing the enemy in front of him appeared. As this was only the introductory stage, Lin Sen was not given too much screen time. ¡°Plant Lord¡­ How should I put it¡­¡± When the Plant Lord was introduced, the female host looked a little hesitant. ¡°As everyone knows, the development cycle of the Plant Lord is too long. I can only say that Student Lin Sen¡­ has a promising future!¡± The female host was very cultured. She used a more euphemistic way to express that she did not think highly of Lin Sen. At this moment, countless people in Heavenly Hub City were discussing Lin Sen. ¡°The Plant Lord does develop too slowly in the early stages. || ¡°It¡¯s a pity for Lin Sen. For him to reach this stage, he definitely can¡¯t do without his own hard work. But the Plant Lord ability has dragged him down¡­¡± Some people felt sorry for Lin Sen. The candidates who could participate in this selection were all quite outstanding in their respective schools. It was not easy for Lin Sen to rely on the Plant Lord¡¯s ability to reach this step. At this moment, at the Four Seasons Grassi Company. This was one of the top companies in Heavenly Hub City, specializing in selling plant-related products. For example, selling precious flowers, strange tree seeds, high-tech flower pots¡­ The company produces all kinds of products that revolve around plants. The CEO of the company was looking at the Heavenly Hub Channel. Beside the president, the secretary in a white suit suggested meekly, ¡°President Li, although the possibility of Lin Sen surviving the first round is relatively small, it¡¯s not easy for him to reach this stage with the ability of the Plant Lord.¡± ¡°His hard work and perseverance are worth learning from.¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t we¡ª¡± The secretary made a weak suggestion, but the president shook his head and rejected it. ¡°Hard work and perseverance are all useless.¡± ¡°In terms of the company¡¯s standards, what we need is traffic and benefits!¡± ¡°It¡¯s certain that our sponsorship of him is destined to be a loss!¡± The president understood what the secretary meant. The secretary believed that for Lin Sen to reach this stage with the ability of the Plant Lord, there must have been unimaginable efforts during this period. The secretary was touched by his efforts and planned to sponsor him. However, the CEO told his secretary that she could not act on impulse. The traffic and ability that Lin Sen had shown so far meant that sponsoring him would not be of much use. Similar things happened to many companies. There were also people who had the same thoughts as the secretary. They believed that Lin Sen must have gone through unimaginable hard work and effort to reach his current level, given the extremely long development cycle of Plant Lords. They were slightly moved by this. However, the company refused to sponsor Lin Sen. Zombie Garden. Lin Sen had already considered his next strategy. The zombies in front of him were already approaching. The zombies here would appear in an endless stream from the terminal end. Moreover, as time passed, more and more zombies would appear, and their movements would become faster and faster! On the Heavenly Hub Channel, the program director gave Lin Sen a shot. Lin Sen was very calm in the face of the zombies¡¯ attack. He chose a spot and went to a corner of the garden. There was no way to retreat. On the left was an iron fence. Lin Sen could not get out, and the zombies could not come over. There were only two directions in which Lin Sen was in danger. The first was the front, where the zombies were attacking. The second was to the right. Lin Sen was now approaching the left side of the garden, close to the fence. All the right side was empty. The zombies could attack from that side. ¡°This Student Lin Sen is very calm. Regardless of his ability, at least his mental fortitude is very strong! || The female host also commented on Lin Sen. At this moment, the keyboard warriors on the Internet expressed their opinions. ¡°His mental fortitude is too strong? Why do I feel that he has fled to a corner where he can¡¯t continue to escape and is so frightened that his face is paralyzed?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think Lin Sen is panicking at all. He seems to have a trump card!¡± I ¡°Where did he get his trump card? Oh, know. He does have a trump card. This trump card can make him not afraid of zombies.¡± ¡°After all, as long as we tell the military that we give up, we can immediately leave the Mystic Realm. Why should we be afraid of zombies?¡± Everyone had different opinions. Some recognized Lin Sen. They felt that Lin Sen must have some real ability to be so calm. He must have a trump card. Some people thought that Lin Sen looked so ¡°calm¡± because he was scared silly. In the Zombie Garden, Lin Sen began his arrangements. Lin Sen, who was hiding in the corner of the garden, planted the iron birch tree. ¡°Seed of Amplification, the growth age has an increase of 10,000 times in age!¡± As Lin Sen shouted in his heart, the Iron Birch planted grew at an exaggerated speed. In the blink of an eye, a huge tree blocked Lin Sen¡¯s front and right. It perfectly separated Lin Sen from the zombies. But this could not go on. What if those damn zombies were crazy enough to eat the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree? After all, that was a zombie. They did not care if the Iron Birch Tree was easy to chew¡­ Therefore, Lin Sen planted the Walking Grass behind the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree. ¡°The growth speed of the Seed of Amplification is ten thousand times faster!¡± In an instant, the Walking Grass grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. Soon, it grew into a huge flower, the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower! This Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower was called a flower, but the stamen in the center of the flower looked more like a huge abyssal mouth. It was as if everything would be eaten inside. When Lin Sen was fiddling with the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree and the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower, the program director did not give the camera the other candidates. to At this moment, the program director gave Lin Sen another shot. In the eyes of the audience, didn¡¯t they just change the scene and look at the other candidates? Why did Lin Sen suddenly create such a wall to hide? ¡°This Lin Sen¡­ still has some understanding of plants. He¡¯s stuck in the corner and planted a tree in front of him, preventing the zombies from coming over.¡± The audience was speechless. They felt that Lin Sen¡¯s method was too sneaky. ¡°Is Lin Sen planning to hole up here for 30 minutes?¡± Even though Lin Sen had summoned a huge tree and an evil-looking flower, no one was optimistic about Lin Sen. Soon, the dedicated program director changed the scene again. At this moment, the other candidates had already begun to face the zombies¡¯ attacks. ¡°This candidate has awakened the Hurricane Lord. He can summon small hurricanes!¡± When everyone saw this, their eyes lit up. It was different from Lin Sen¡¯s sneaky tactics just now. The Hurricane Lord before them was charging towards the zombie army. ¡°Good!¡± ¡°A good man should be like this!¡± Many people praised this candidate. However, as time passed, there were more and more zombies. The small ¡°hurricane¡± created by the Hurricane Lord could no longer blow the zombies away. He was about to be surrounded and torn apart by zombies. This lord decisively chose to give up. Chapter 24 - Hes Trying to Trick Us to become Plant Lords Chapter 24 He¡¯s Trying to Trick Us to become Plant Lords ¡°What a pity. This Hurricane Lord was very fierce at first, but he didn¡¯t have enough strength.¡¯ Everyone felt sorry for that candidate. The screen of the program director showed everything. At this moment, the scene came to another candidate. ¡°This candidate has awakened a Mud Lord. He¡¯s using mud to create walls!¡± Under the female host¡¯s introduction, the candidate on the screen adopted the same simple tactics as Lin Sen. He hid in the same corner as Lin Sen, and retreated till there was no further room to retreat. Then, this candidate summoned walls. ¡°Hiss~¡± ¡°This candidate is really ruthless. He actually summoned one, two, three¡­¡± ¡°A total of 81 walls?!¡± 81 walls, one after another, formed a solid and reliable haven for this candidate. ¡°This candidate will definitely win!¡± ¡°Haha, construction companies, why aren¡¯t you looking for this candidate to sponsor?¡± Amidst everyone¡¯s teasing, this candidate felt that he was safe. He even used his lord¡¯s ability to create a house with a large amount of mud and lay quietly inside, preparing to advance in 30 minutes. However, this candidate soon heard a strange sound. It was like the sound of a rat chewing something. The audience witnessed from the omniscient view how the 81 mud walls were eaten by the zombies like biscuits in a short period of time. ¡°They are really savage zombies!¡± ¡°How did they easily gnaw through a ten-centimeter-thick mud wall?¡± ¡°Oh no, this candidate probably won¡¯t be able to last for more than 30 minutes!¡± Everything was as expected. The mud wall simply collapsed in front of the zombies. It was useless. Not long after, countless zombies gathered outside the candidate¡¯s mud house. There were zombies wearing helmets on their heads, zombies wearing metal buckets on their heads, and zombies holding newspapers in their hands¡­ There were only these words to describe it¡ª Army at the foot of the city! The candidate decisively chose to surrender. ¡­ Countless images of candidates appeared one after another. Most of the candidates basically could not make it. At this moment, the program director switched to Lin Sen. It seemed like the program director was also curious if Lin Sen could survive. After all, with the slow development of Plant Lords, it was already a miracle that Lin Sen could get to the top ten of the academy to participate in this competition. ¡°Ouch~¡± ¡°It¡¯s Lin Sen again¡­¡± ¡°Wait, what¡¯s going on with Lin Sen?¡± While everyone was dumbfounded, the situation on Lin Sen¡¯s side was a little strange. Similar to the Mud Lord candidate, Lin Sen also adopted a simple strategy. Moreover, the giant tree planted by Lin Sen was also facing the danger of being eaten by countless zombies. From this situation, it would not be long before Lin Sen¡¯s defense would be broken like the previous candidate. After the giant tree was eaten, it would be the time for Lin Sen to surrender! However, Lin Sen¡¯s situation was different from the Mud Lord¡¯s. Lin Sen had planted a Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower behind the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree! The zombies that were eating the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree were directly devoured by the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower! Countless zombies gathered and were blocked by the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree. Then, the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower slowly ate the zombies. It was at ease! ¡°This works too?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t Lin Sen¡¯s strategy a little too cowardly?¡± Everyone was shocked that Lin Sen¡¯s tactics. were so simple and yet so successful. Lin Sen realized that the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower and the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree had leveled up! The Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower had been eating zombies and gaining a lot of experience. Although the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree had been eaten by zombies, the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower had been providing the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree with the energy it had digested after swallowing the zombies. Therefore, the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree used the energy to constantly repair itself, causing it to not be eaten up by the zombies! Therefore, after the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree had absorbed the energy provided by the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower, it also leveled up! Lin Sen gave it a cursory glance. The Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower had been upgraded to Level 10. At this moment, the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower could already swallow ten zombies in one gulp! At the same time, the time to digest the zombies was shorter! Meanwhile, the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree had also leveled up to Level 10 and obtained the automatic repair ability. As long as there was sunlight, even if a 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree was bitten by zombies, it could quickly heal its wounds with photosynthesis! At the same time, Lin Sen realized that the territorial area in his body was expanding rapidly. From the size of four football fields, it was already the size of a small village! ¡°I¡¯ve become a mid-tier Lord?!¡± Lin Sen was a little shocked. The lords were divided into low-tier lords, mid-tier lords, high-tier lords¡­. lords¡­ And one of the criteria to measure a lord¡¯s strength was the size of the lord¡¯s territorial area! Among them, the size of a village was already the standard for a mid-tier lord! ¡°After becoming a mid-tier lord, I can set up even more plants!¡± Before this, Lin Sen could only arrange two types of plants. For example, the plants that Lin Sen currently owned. There were already the 10,000 year-old Iron Birch Tree and the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower on the field, so Lin Sen couldn¡¯t arrange a third plant. Originally, according to Lin Sen¡¯s plan, he would have added the Parasitic Thorns and Nine Leaf Sword Grass. Among them, the Parasitic Thorns slowed down the enemy¡¯s speed while the distant Nine Leaf Sword Grass dealt long-range damage. When the enemy was almost exhausted by the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, even if they could approach the 10,000 year-old Iron Birch tree, they would still be on the verge of death. At that time, he would be directly swallowed by the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower¡­ This was the perfect configuration! However, due to the limitations of Lin Sen¡¯s ability, he could not arrange four plants. Take Potato Mines for example, although Lin Sen had set up tens of thousands of Potato Mines in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, However, those Potato Mines were of the same type, so they were not restricted. If Lin Sen still had ten stalks of Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flowers, he could continue to arrange them. What was restricted was the type, not the quantity. ¡°I should be a mid-tier one-star lord now. I can arrange four types of plants at the same time.¡± Thinking of this, Lin Sen immediately tried it. The Nine Leaf Sword Grass slashed out with its sword qi, cutting countless zombies into two. The Parasitic Thorns emerged from the ground, wrapped around the zombies, and sucked them dry¡­ Lin Sen¡¯s performance made the spectators numb. They had thought that Lin Sen was just hiding in the corner. Who knew that Lin Sen had so many tricks up his sleeve? ¡°Is this the Plant Lord?¡± ¡°It instantly made me feel like I wanted to be a Plant Lord¡­¡± ¡°Mom, I want to self-explode the lord core and re-select the Plant Lord¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s a lie. Lin Sen must be lying to us. He¡¯s trying to trick us into becoming the Plant Lord!¡± The audience watching the show in Heavenly Hub City instantly fell into chaos. Everyone the few methods that Lin Sen was discussing had displayed. Chapter 25 - Is this a Plant Lord? This Is a Swordsman! Chapter 25 Is this a Plant Lord? This Is a Swordsman! Lin Sen did not have many view angles. Soon, the program director switched again. Among the countless candidates, the program director had stayed with Lin Sen for quite a long time. ¡°What the hell?¡± ¡°Director, do you know how to choose a shot? If you don¡¯t, I can teach you!¡± ¡°Damn you, Director! You have lost your chicken drumstick tonight!¡± Everyone who was watching the show cursed the program director. The few people who were hosting the show knew that everyone wanted to see shots of Lin Sen. However, since the program director had changed his view angle, they could only cooperate with the program director to comment on the candidate in front of them. ¡°Wow! This candidate in front of us is not ordinary. He¡¯s the trump card of Heavenly Hub No. 1 High School, Thunder Lord Shangguan Ming!¡± In order to divert everyone¡¯s dissatisfied attention, the host even specially called out the identity of the candidate in front of him. The other party was a third-year student from Heavenly Hub No. 1 High School and the ace of Heavenly Hub No. 1 High School, Shangguan Ming. Just like Ye Zhiyuan, Shangguan Ming had broken countless records in Heavenly Hub No. 1 High School. The Thunder Lord¡¯s ability made him known as the Lord with the most potential in the entire No. 1 High School! However, at this moment, everyone watching the show in Heavenly Hub City did not buy it at all. Shangguan Ming kept releasing electricity, but as countless zombies surged over, the other party¡¯s electricity became weaker and weaker. Perhaps the other party could last for 30 minutes, but it was still far from the shock caused by Lin Sen. At this moment, everyone who was watching the show found another way. Although the television station broadcasted the program, the shots could only be switched through the program director, and whichever candidate he switched to, one could only look at the candidate¡¯s perspective. However, the Military Region had already uploaded countless drone images onto the Internet. On the relevant website of the Military Region, one could freely choose which candidate¡¯s perspective to look at. ¡°Sigh, is your family still foolishly waiting for the program director to switch cameras?¡± ¡°Use your phone or computer to directly click on the website. You can directly look at the candidate called Lin Sen!¡± Everyone spread the news among themselves. Soon, not to mention the other candidates, even the traffic on the television station¡¯s side was affected. The program director had to switch to Lin Sen again. He wanted to see what kind of sorcery Lin Sen was using. Why did everyone want to see Lin Sen¡¯s shots? Not long after, some people who did not know how to go online also saw Lin Sen¡¯s situation through the television. On the screen, Lin Sen faced the approaching zombies and used a new move that no one had seen before. Lin Sen¡¯s right middle finger and index finger caught a leaf of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. Activating [Plant Partner]! The leaf of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass in Lin Sen¡¯s hand glowed slightly. ¡°Go!¡± Lin Sen flung the leaf between his fingers. Swoosh! The leaf carried a terrifying sword qi and flew forward like a sharp blade. Along the way, all the zombies were cut into two by the leaf! A leaf cleared a path through the dense zombie crowd! ¡°Is this the ability of the Plant Partner?¡± ¡°If the level of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass was higher, perhaps the range of damage caused by this leaf would be wider!¡± Lin Sen muttered to himself. The audience watching Lin Sen¡¯s scenes exclaimed one by one. ¡°Can anyone tell me if this is really a Plant Lord?¡± ¡°Why do I feel like he¡¯s a peerless swordsman?¡± ¡°The way he threw the leaf just now was so cool and handsome!¡± Lin Sen had survived three waves of zombies. The first round was coming to an end. He had already endured until the third wave of attack by zombies, which meant that the competition had been going on for nearly half an hour. From the situation of the competition, once they survived the third wave of zombies, they would basically wait for the time to arrive and naturally advance. Seeing that the dust had settled on Lin Sen¡¯s side, the program director was finally willing to switch the view angle and present the situation of the other candidates to everyone. At this moment, in the Four Seasons Grassi Company, next to the secretary in a white suit, the CEO¡¯s hand that was holding the teacup was tightly clenched, as if he was very agitated. ¡°President Li¡­¡± The secretary glanced at the CEO weakly. The other party¡¯s expression was very interesting, as if he had lost a treasure. However, the CEO did not show it in front of the secretary. However, the secretary had already guessed that the CEO was probably regretting not sponsoring Lin Sen when he was not favored by everyone. After all, timely help is always more impressive than icing on the cake. Just now, when no one was optimistic about it, if they had made a move, it would be like sending charcoal in the snow. But now, Lin Sen had already shown his value. If they went to Lin Sen now, it would only be icing on the cake. This was because after Lin Sen showed his strength, countless companies became optimistic about him. There were many companies that wanted to get in touch with him. There was no shortage of a company like the Four Seasons Grassi Company¡­ On the contrary, if they had made a move to gain Lin Sen¡¯s favor before Lin Sen showed his potential, the significance would have been different. Just as the CEO was feeling regretful, the program director¡¯s camera switched to another influential figure in this competition. It was the Lord of Flying Birds, Ye Zhiyuan! In the scene, countless birds surrounded Ye Zhiyuan. At the same time, the densely packed crows blocked the zombies that were in front of them. In the midst of the crows, the zombies were quickly eaten by the crows, leaving behind white bones! ¡°Has Ye Zhiyuan actually given up on hiding from the zombies in the air and come to the ground to resist the zombies?¡± ¡°Is she challenging her limits?¡± Everyone was discussing Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s behavior again. Most people praised Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s courage. Ye Zhiyuan only needed to ride on a bird and fly in the air. When 30 minutes passed, she would automatically advance. However, Ye Zhiyuan did not choose the simplest way to clear the level. Instead, she chose to fight the zombies head-on! There were also people who thought that Ye Zhiyuan was overestimating herself. In a while, the third wave of zombies would drown Ye Zhiyuan¡­ However, the speculation by the second group of people did not happen. The densely packed crows turned into shadows one moment, then into black particles and dissipated the next¡­ It was as if those were not ordinary birds, special living beings formed by special shadows! but ¡°That¡¯s the legendary S-grade alien beast, the Duck of Darkness!¡± ¡°It can teleport in the dark and use the dark shadows to transform into its dark clones¡­¡± When the host explained up to this point, many in the audience came to a realization. They discovered that there were no other dark shadows in the garden where Ye Zhiyuan was. In fact, Ye Zhiyuan was nowhere to be seen under the scorching sun! The densely packed black crows were clones created by the Duck of Darkness using the dark shadows. Over at Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s side, she had also survived through the third wave of zombies as easily as everyone had expected! ¡°This Ye Zhiyuan is really amazing!¡¯ || ¡°She¡¯s beautiful and strong¡­¡¯ ¡°When will I ever find a girlfriend like that?¡± Just as everyone was shocked by Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s impressive results, the program director of the television station received the news. His face was filled with surprise. Soon, the program director switched the view to Lin Sen¡¯s side! ¡°This Lin Sen is going to attack the zombies¡¯ lair!¡± Chapter 26 - Charging into the Zombies Lair Chapter 26 Charging into the Zombies¡¯ Lair ¡°Everyone, please take a look. Student Lin Sen is currently teleporting¡­¡± ¡°Oh! This is the skill of the Plant Lord, Jungle Leap!¡± ¡°This garden is full of plants. Student Lin Sen can teleport here!¡± The host still had a certain amount of knowledge. He could tell at a glance that Lin Sen was teleporting crazily in the garden. This was the Jungle Leap ability. ¡°Look, Student Lin Sen has already used his sword qi power to kill his way through the zombies and arrive at the end of the garden!¡± ¡°Is he¡­ going to break into the other side of the garden?¡± For a moment, everyone was shocked! The Zombie Garden Mystic Realm was actually not unfamiliar to everyone. In the previous Military Region Selections, this Mystic Realm had also been on the rankings many times and became the venue for the assessment of the candidates. Therefore, everyone was familiar with the situation in the Zombie Garden. However, it was obvious that in the Zombie Garden Mystic Realm, this so-called garden was only a small venue artificially divided by the experts of the Military Region. Outside the garden was a vast world, a world where zombies ran rampant! ¡°Is Lin Sen really going to break through?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t this too risky?¡± ¡°I¡¯m also quite curious. What is the world outside the garden like?¡± Everyone was discussing Lin Sen¡¯s actions intensely. ¡°Oh! Everyone, Student Lin Sen has actually broken beyond the garden!¡± ¡°This¡­ will this be considered a failure?¡± At this moment, everyone recalled the rules. Candidates were not allowed to escape outside the garden. ¡°Escape¡­ Lin Sen didn¡¯t escape. He killed his way through!¡± ¡°Lin Sen didn¡¯t break any rules at all!¡± Some people thought that Lin Sen had already violated the rules and was about to be judged as a failure. However, there were also people who believed that although Lin Sen had left the garden area, it was not an escape. It was completely in accordance with the rules¡­ There was a wave of discussion about this. As the person involved, Lin Sen had barged into the area at the end of the garden. The drones could not come over. The audience was anxious and wanted to know about Lin Sen¡¯s situation as soon as possible. Lin Sen also knew about the existence of the drones. ¡°The drones have finally stopped following me!¡± Lin Sen looked at the lost city in front of him that was overgrown with weeds. He immediately planted the Nine Leaf Sword Grass and the Parasitic Thorns. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Nine sword qi shot out in all directions, and countless zombies were cut into two! ¡°With sufficient energy, its recovery is really fast.¡± Lin Sen looked at the place where he had plucked off the leaves of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. Because the Nine Leaf Sword Grass used energy stones to replenish its energy, the Nine Leaf Sword Grass once again grew the leaves that Lin Sen had plucked. At the same time, the Parasitic Thorns began to writhe like a giant python. Countless vines wrapped around the zombies, and needles pierced into their bodies, absorbing their life force! ¡°It feels so good to be free!¡± The 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree and the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower were only suitable for defense. They did not look shocking. Lin Sen¡¯s current main combat strength was the Nine Leaf Sword Grass and the Parasitic Thorns. But just now in the garden, there were drones watching. Lin Sen¡¯s Nine Leaf Sword Grass was very small. With the protection of the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree and the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower, the identity of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass had yet to be exposed. However, if the Nine Leaf Sword Grass attacked, it would definitely be known! Therefore, Lin Sen only plucked the leaves of the Sword Grass and attacked. He did not let the Nine Leaf Sword Grass attack on its own. One had to know that the S-grade Nine Leaf Sword Grass was a plant with extraordinary potential. Having an S-grade Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower was already enough to show Lin Sen¡¯s value and potential. If there was another S-grade Nine Leaf Sword Grass, it would probably be troublesome! While Lin Sen was commanding the Nine Leaf Sword Grass and Parasitic Thorns, zombies on the dilapidated street were in a the panic. ¡°Hmm? It seems like some big shot is about to appear?¡± Lin Sen tensed up. He thought that something must have happened to those zombies! ¡°This is¡­¡± Under Lin Sen¡¯s vigilance, a zombie larger than the other zombies appeared! That zombie was like a fatty. He held a kitchen knife in both hands and was covered in blood. ¡°Butcher!¡± Lin Sen swallowed his saliva and realized that he had encountered the leader of the zombies! The lord¡¯s world led to countless Mystic Realms. There were countless zombies in some Mystic Realms, and the Butcher was a mutant creature among zombies. He was also a small leader among zombies. ¡°Argh!!!¡± The Butcher shouted. He held the kitchen knife in both hands and charged forward. However, the vines acted as someone waiting in ambush, and tripped the Butcher. ¡°Hah!¡± The Butcher roared and chopped off the vines with the kitchen knife in his hand. Seeing that the Butcher was still charging at him, Lin Sen quickly moved the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree to block it. The Butcher waved his kitchen knife and slashed fiercely at the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree. However, the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree was clearly not so easily cut down. Butcher¡¯s IQ was higher than ordinary zombies, so he jumped up and leapt onto the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree, planning to directly jump over the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree to attack. However, after the Butcher climbed over the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree, what greeted him was the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower! The Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower bit the Butcher. The Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower, which should have swallowed the enemy directly, could not eat the Butcher in one bite because the Butcher was too huge. Hence, the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower could only bite the Butcher¡¯s upper half and leave the lower half outside. Lin Sen seized the opportunity. The Nine Leaf Sword Grass shot out a terrifying sword qi and hit the Butcher steadily. But Butcher¡¯s defense was extremely strong. The Nine Leaf Sword Grass¡¯ attack did not cause much damage to the other party. Instead, it angered the Butcher, who was about to break free from the restraints of the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower. At this moment, Lin Sen was putting everything on the line. He plucked the nine leaves of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. [Plant Partner] ability activated! The nine leaves gathered together and converged into a sword qi that flew towards Butcher. Swoosh! Rip!! The chubby Butcher was cut in half directly! ¡°That was close. Fortunately, the Nine Leaf Sword Grass¡¯ attack is strong enough!¡± Lin Sen sighed. At this moment, he realized that if the Nine Leaf Sword Grass didn¡¯t shoot sword qi in nine directions, but gathered its strength and shot nine sword qi in one direction, wouldn¡¯t the damage be even greater? ¡°But currently, there doesn¡¯t seem to be any way to change it¡­¡± Lin Sen muttered to himself. He looked around. After the Butcher died, the surrounding zombies fled in all directions. At this moment, Lin Sen could finally explore this abandoned area. ¡°What kind of treasures would there be in this place?¡± ¡°I¡¯m really looking forward to this¡­¡± Chapter 27 - Gains in the Mystic Realm Chapter 27 Gains in the Mystic Realm Lin Sen looked at the dilapidated building in front of him and walked over. It seemed that because of the terrifying battle just now, no other zombies dared to approach. Instead, as Lin Sen walked over, the zombies fled. Lin Sen came to the building in front of him. ¡°There¡¯s only one relatively intact building in this area.¡± As far as Lin Sen could see, he was surrounded by buildings that had turned into ruins. The degree of ruin was so high that Lin Sen could not explore it. Currently, the only thing he could explore was the dilapidated building in front of him. There might be more buildings further away, but Lin Sen had no intention of going over. ¡°Butcher may not be the strongest zombie in the world.¡± ¡°I already need to pluck the nine leaves of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass to deal with the Butcher. If one is stronger than the Butcher, wouldn¡¯t I be finished?¡± After a brief consideration, Lin Sen gave up on the idea of going deeper. He only needed to explore the surrounding area. ¡°Most of the zombies in the surrounding area are probably restrained by the experts of the Military Region. They trapped the zombies here and placed them in the garden as an assessment difficulty.¡± ¡°Therefore, the zombies in this area won¡¯t be too strong.¡± ¡°But if we leave this area, the strength of the zombies in places further away will not be guaranteed!¡± Lin Sen muttered as he stepped into the building. ¡°These words are actually similar to the words in the lord¡¯s world?¡± He even discovered that the words inside this building were similar to the words he knew. He seriously suspected that this Mystic Realm had some special connection with the lord¡¯s world. ¡°Or could it be that the scientists from the lord¡¯s world were conducting biochemical experiments in this Mystic Realm, and then the biochemical crisis broke out and this building was abandoned?¡± The more Lin Sen thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. However, everything was just his guess. There was no evidence. Lin Lin searched the building carefully and realized that it was really empty. All the good things had been taken away! What was left was just the empty shell of a building. ¡°Wait, why is there an oil painting here?¡± Lin Sen walked around the dilapidated building, but he did not find any other paintings hanging anywhere else. However, there was an oil painting hanging in the hall. It was very strange. Generally speaking, if one wanted to hang a painting, they would definitely hang more than one painting. Of course, it was also possible that the paintings in other places had been taken away, leaving only the paintings in the hall. However, Lin Sen felt that it did not make sense. The painting in the hall was so obvious, and the hall was a place where people had to pass through. It was impossible to miss it! ¡°According to my many years of experience in MC puzzle-solving in my previous life, this painting needs to be checked!¡± Lin Sen came to the painting and carefully lifted it. ¡°Good stuff, it¡¯s indeed classic. The passage entrance is hidden behind the painting!¡± After Lin Sen lifted the painting, a small passage appeared in front of him. No one knew where the dark tunnel led to. Lin Sen got up and went into the passage. After walking for a few minutes, Lin Sen finally came to the bottom of the passage. It was a dark room. ¡°The technology of this lamp is similar to that of the lord¡¯s world. Could it be that energy stones can light up the lamp?¡± Lin Sen gave it a try and filled the lamp in the dark room with an energy stone. In an instant, the entire dark room lit up! After the light was on, Lin Sen observed the dark room. The dark room was very small, only about nine square meters. There was a table in the middle with a diary on it. The words in the diary were the words of the lord¡¯s world. Lin Sen picked up the diary and flipped through it briefly. ¡°Just as I expected!¡± Lin Sen looked like he knew it. This Mystic Realm was indeed the place where the scientists of the lord¡¯s world conducted experiments. Originally, there were no zombies in this world. The scientists in the lord¡¯s world brought the zombie viruses from other Mystic Realms to this world for research, creating many zombies. ¡°Let me see. What did these guys leave behind?¡± Although the secret room could not be said to be very concealed, with the painting blocking it, many people would overlook this place when they moved away. So there were some things in this dark room that they did not take with them. ¡°Is this¡­ an energy cube?!¡± Lin Sen¡¯s breathing quickened. In this secret room, there was a small bag of blue cubes. These cubes were called energy cubes. They were obtained after the energy crystals were purified countless times and compressed countless times. To put it bluntly, an energy cube was worth 100 energy crystals! Most importantly, the energy cube had a special effect that energy crystals did not have. It could be used to increase the experience of plants and alien beasts! Lin Sen shook a bag of energy cubes. ¡°If I feed all these things to the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, I wonder what level the Nine Leaf Sword Grass can reach?¡± There were two ways for a lord¡¯s plants, mutant beasts, elemental citizens, and so on, to level up. One was to level up through a battle. Killing enemies on the battlefield to accumulate experience and slowly level up. The second method was to feed them energy cubes! Lin Sen threw the bag of energy cubes directly into the territory in his body. He looked at a cabinet. ¡°According to the diary, there¡¯s a plant called [Virus Spore] in this cabinet.¡± ¡°Back then, after they infected humans and animals with zombie viruses from other Mystic Realms, they began to attack plants, planning to let the virus infect plants.¡± ¡°In the end, just as the virus spore was created, the zombie crisis erupted.¡± Based on what was recorded in the diary, Lin Sen successfully found a glass bottle in the cabinet. The bottle contained a black object that looked like a black mushroom. As expected, these were virus spores! ¡°According to the diary, these virus spores will release a special gas that will infect the enemy and turn them into zombies. They will attack their allies crazily.¡± When Lin Sen saw this, he knew that he had to use the plant spores carefully. If something went wrong, it would be bad if a biochemical crisis broke out. ¡°There¡¯s nothing valuable left. In the end, there¡¯s only¡­¡± Lin Sen hurried to the outside of the building, where the Butcher¡¯s body was. ¡°According to the diary, these mutant zombies will have special crystal cores in their heads¡­¡± Lin Sen picked up the newly grown leaves of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass and slashed out with his sword qi, splitting the Butcher¡¯s head in half. In the center, a fiery red crystal core appeared in front of Lin Sen. ¡°Is this a king-grade zombie core?¡± ¡°It¡¯s fiery red and of the fire attribute. If I grind it into powder and turn it into fertilizer for plants, it can give my plants fire resistance!¡± Lin Sen was excited. Apart from being inflexible, plants were also afraid of fire. A fire could burn a large area of plants. Coupled with the fact that it was inconvenient for plants to move, a large number of plants would quickly burn when a plant caught fire. However, with this crystal core, the other weakness of the plant was compensated for! Chapter 28 - The Military Regions Bargaining Chip to Win Lin Sen Over Chapter 28 The Military Region¡¯s Bargaining Chip to Win Lin Sen Over When Lin Sen returned the way he came, he realized that the path he came from was filled with zombies. However, when he returned to this path, everything was quiet. He did not see a single zombie. ¡°It seems that all the zombies have run away!¡± Lin Sen returned to the garden. There used to be a mountain of corpses here, but everything had disappeared now. If not for the corpses all over the ground, Lin Sen might have thought that this place was just a beautiful and peaceful garden. In the outside world, countless people were shocked. When Lin Sen first entered the Zombies¡¯ Lair, some were worried about him, while others mocked him for overestimating himself. However, as time passed and Lin Sen rushed into the Zombies¡¯ Lair, the number of zombies in the garden decreased. Until now, there was not a single zombie in the garden after Lin Sen returned. Even though some people did not think highly of Lin Sen, they understood that Lin Sen must have wiped out the Zombies¡¯ Lair¡­ Looking at the candidates in the other examination arenas, they were still struggling in the mountain of corpses. They were facing the most important third wave of zombies! On Lin Sen¡¯s side¡­ Over at the television station, the host could not help but say, ¡°Good fella, you were asked to defend the garden, but instead, you flipped over the Zombies¡¯ Lair?¡± ¡°Won¡¯t this examination arena be useless in the future?¡±! Everyone knew that the zombies in the garden were basically transported over by the military. The weaker ones were used specially to test candidates. Now that Lin Sen had wiped out all these zombies, there would be no more zombies in this examination arena in the future¡­ ¡°A candidate has destroyed an examination arena!¡± The guest beside the host muttered to himself. Especially when he saw Lin Sen¡¯s calm expression, he knew that although Lin Sen had barged into the Zombies¡¯ Lair, he had most likely bulldozed his way through. For a moment, everyone was curious about Lin Sen¡¯s strength and made all kinds of guesses. However, because the drone could not follow them into the Zombies¡¯ Lair, they did not see Lin Sen overturning the Zombies¡¯ Lair. Because of this, the audience was itching to know what had happened in the Zombies¡¯ Lair. Not long after Lin Sen returned to the garden, a notification sounded. Thirty minutes had passed, and the candidates who persisted until now still had the qualifications to advance! At the same time, Lin Sen turned into a white light and left the Mystic Realm. When Lin Sen returned to Heavenly Hub City¡¯s examination venue, he realized that it was a little noisy. Looking around, countless people were chattering outside and rushing towards the examination venue. The people from the Military Region at the gate tried their best to stop them, but they could not. Just as Lin Sen was wondering about the actions of those people, a clamor sounded. ¡°Student Lin Sen!¡± ¡°We¡¯re from Heavenly Hub Galaxy Book City. Are you interested in endorsing an advertisement for our Book City next time?¡± ¡°The fee will definitely make you satisfied!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, it won¡¯t take up too much of your time. When the time comes, you can wear the Book City¡¯s uniform and quietly read a book¡­¡± The people of Heavenly Hub Galaxy Book City did not even ask Lin Sen to read any lines. They just wanted Lin Sen to hold the book and quietly look good. At this moment, the representative of Heavenly Hub Galaxy Book City was pulled away by the person behind him. The middle-aged man with black-framed glasses leaned his head in front of Lin Sen, startling him. ¡°Student Lin, we are the Heavenly Hub Nine Heavens Group. 50% of the houses in Heavenly Hub CityDubhe City were built by our Heavenly Hub Nine Heavens Group¡­¡± Heavenly Hub City¡¯s real estate giant, Heavenly Hub Nine Heavens Group, also sent people to contact Lin Sen. ¡°We won¡¯t be as useless as those guys from Heavenly Hub Galaxy Book City. Next time, help us promote a villa, and that villa will be yours!¡± More and more advertisers swarmed over. Lin Sen felt a headache coming on. Countless advertisers surrounded him and chattered. He could no longer hear what they were saying. The first round was over, and they had missed their chance. Next was the second round of competition, the third round of competition. They had to hook up with Lin Sen, who had a huge amount of traffic. Lin Sen was having a headache because of the advertisers¡¯ chatter. He casually dealt with them and said that he would think about it carefully, and then, he went home. Not long after Lin Sen left, the people from the Military Region appeared! A valiant officer accompanied by several military personnel arrived at the scene. ¡°It¡¯s¡­ It¡¯s Shangguan Jing!¡± ¡°It¡¯s said that at such a young age, she already has a position in the military that many people can¡¯t get in their entire lives¡­¡± ¡°Cut the crap. She¡¯s a disciple of the Shangguan family. Everyone knows!¡± After the valiant female officer appeared, everyone lowered their voices and discussed softly. Shangguan Jing came to Lin Sen¡¯s previous position and stared in the direction where Lin Sen had left. ¡°This Lin Sen is indeed qualified to receive special treatment from the higher-ups!¡± At this moment, the military personnel accompanying Shangguan Jing asked in a low voice. ¡°Officer, what do you mean?¡± ¡°When did our Military Region give Lin Sen special treatment?¡± Shangguan Jing smiled mysteriously. ¡°It can¡¯t be considered special treatment. He was able to obtain those rewards because of his strength!¡± With Shangguan Jing¡¯s explanation, the people around her finally understood everything. ¡°The original door of that secret room was sealed. The people from the Military Region couldn¡¯t be bothered to send someone to deal with it.¡± ¡°However, after arranging for Lin Sen to enter the examination arena, the Military Region specially arranged for people to open the door of the secret room¡­¡± The Military Region had their eyes on Lin Sen for a long time. When Lin Sen obtained a superb evaluation in the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment, and when he obtained a superb evaluation in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment¡­ The Military Region had been silently observing these things. The military recognized Lin Sen¡¯s potential. Therefore, they did something to the competition venue, which was the Zombie Garden Mystic Realm. In the building where Lin Sen was originally at, the secret room was sealed. When the biochemical crisis broke out and everyone evacuated, the entrance of the secret room was sealed. Now, after some consideration, the military officers decided to send someone to open the entrance hole again. At the same time, a painting was hung there. If Lin Sen wanted to get the reward from the secret room, he had to kill his way into the Zombies¡¯ Lair and discover the mystery behind the painting¡­ ¡°Officer, could it be that the higher-ups had long thought that Lin Sen could kill his way into the Zombies¡¯ Lair and arranged all of this?¡± When the person beside her asked this, Shangguan Jing smiled bitterly. ¡°How is that possible?¡± ¡°This was all a last-minute adjustment. When Lin Sen made the move to break into the Zombies¡¯ Lair, the higher-ups made a last-minute decision.¡± ¡°And took care of all this before Lin Sen arrived at the abandoned building.¡± After Shangguan Jing finished speaking, she they asked the person beside her to open the box had brought along. ¡°A set of military-grade skill books.¡± ¡°Also, a cultivation technique exclusive to Plant Lords.¡± Then, Shangguan Jing deliberately dragged her voice. ¡°From a commoner to a third-ranking person of power!¡± ¡°This is my bargaining chip to invite Lin Sen to join our Military Region!¡± Chapter 29 - Chen Lis Report Chapter 29 Chen Li¡¯s Report At the same time, in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. Chen Li was in tatters, his face was blackened, and his hair was a mess¡­ It looked like he had escaped from the war zone. Chen Li limped as he left the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. ¡°Damn bastard!¡± ¡°Lin Sen, you must have planted these mines to plot against me!¡± Chen Li roared hysterically. Beside Chen Li, his good colleague Zhang Dachui was speechless. Lin Sen was fine. How could he have the ability to predict the future? How could he know that Chen Li would investigate this Mystic Realm Fragment and plant mines in advance? It was obvious that Chen Li was looking for trouble for no reason! However, Zhang Dachui looked at the enraged Chen Li and could not say anything. He could only watch the show quietly from the side. ¡°That Lin Sen planted mines in the Mystic Realm Fragment and endangered the lives and safety of others. He should be punished!¡± ¡°That Lin Sen used modern equipment to blow up the rats in the Mystic Realm Fragment. That¡¯s against the rules!¡± Chen Li hurriedly wrote a letter to report Lin Sen¡¯s actions to the Military Region. According to the management rules of the Mystic Realm Fragment, one could not use methods other than the ability of a lord. Countless rats were killed by the explosion. It was obvious that Lin Sen had bought a large number of landmines and used modern weapons to cheat his way through! Because Chen Li was a little delirious from the Potato Mines, he was no longer in the mood to investigate if the mines buried on the ground were the abilities of the lord or modern weapons. Right now, Chen Li only wanted a letter to report Lin Sen! ¡­ On the other side, Shangguan Jing, accompanied by a girl who was also a member of the Military Region, set off for Lin Sen¡¯s house. ¡°For this Lin Sen, is it necessary for you to come out personally?¡± ¡°Joining the Military Region is something countless civilians dream of.¡± ¡°All we need to do is leak the relevant information, and Lin Sen will naturally come over to report. Why would it be necessary for you to go to his door personally to invite him, Officer?¡± The girl who came with Shangguan Jing was very puzzled. Shangguan Jing explained gently. ¡°Don¡¯t put ourselves in such a high position.¡± ¡°You have to know that if we don¡¯t go and invite Lin Sen, there are many organizations that want to invite him!¡± ¡°Others aside, take our competitors from other Military Regions for example.¡± ¡°If the other Military Regions knew that we neglected such a genius, they would definitely smile from ear to ear and snatch Lin Sen away with better sincerity and better treatment.¡± There were some things that Shangguan Jing could not tell the people around her. Lin Sen¡¯s performance in the Martial Arts Hall Mystic Realm Fragment and the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment had been sealed by the Military Region. Without the permission of the Military Region, they could not access the relevant files. The two of them chatted and laughed along the way. Soon, they arrived at Lin Sen¡¯s house. At this moment, in the house. Chen Yun was drunk and shouting loudly. ¡°You can¡¯t even clean a table?¡± ¡°You¡¯re not even willing to clean the table at my house, when you are living here and eating here for free?¡± As he spoke, the drunk Chen Yun lost his grip on the wine bottle in his hand. The wine spilled out, causing the table that Mo Rou had just wiped to become dirty again. Chen Yun pointed at the dirty spot and shouted at Mo Rou again. As for Mo Rou, she was so tired that her forehead was covered in sweat, but she did not dare to talk back. Instead, she silently wiped the table. Lin Sen had just become a lord. He needed a lot of resources and a stable environment. Mo Rou did not want to affect Lin Sen¡¯s future because of family quarrels. In order to create a more acceptable environment for Lin Sen, Mo Rou had been silently enduring it. At this moment, the doorbell rang. Originally, Chen Yun wanted Mo Rou to hurry up and open the door. However, just as the doorbell rang, he heard a girl¡¯s pleasant voice coming from outside the door. Hence, Chen Yun ran to open the door while cursing. He told Mo Rou how hard it was for him to open the door and told her not to slack off while cleaning. When Chen Yun opened the door, he was greeted by two young girls. The two girls were wearing military uniforms, so it was easy to identify them. ¡°You must be Mr. Chen Yun?¡± Shangguan Jing had briefly read Lin Sen¡¯s family information, so she guessed at a glance that this drunkard was Lin Sen¡¯s stepfather. Chen Yun nodded. ¡°It¡¯s like this. We¡¯re here to look for your son!¡± ¡°The Military Region has something to discuss with him¡­¡± When Chen Yun heard this, he was delighted. People from the Military Region? In the family, only his son, Chen Li, was related to the Military Region. Moreover, the people from the Military Region said that they were looking for his son. Without a doubt, other than looking for Chen Li, there was no other possibility! At the same time, the girl beside Shangguan Jing added with a smile. ¡°We have something good to discuss with your son!¡± Something good? Chen Yun¡¯s brain worked furiously. He thought of a possibility. Perhaps his son, Chen Li, was about to become an official! Chen Li had been working in the outsourcing company for so long. Was he finally successful? Was he finally going to change from a temporary worker to an official military personnel? Was he going to soar? When Chen Yun thought of this, he was extremely excited. ¡°Is Li going to be a full-time employee?¡± Chen Yun¡¯s drunkenness dissipated instantly. He stared at Shangguan Jing expectantly. If nothing went wrong, Chen Li¡¯s status after becoming a full-time employee was probably not low. Otherwise, the Military Region would not have sent such a beautiful girl to inform them. According to the rules of the industry, to say it euphemistically, this girl was responsible for informing them. But to put it bluntly, this girl was a free gift! Basically, this girl was a gift from the Military Region to Chen Li to rope him in! Chen Yun¡¯s imagination ran wild. While he was happy for his son, Chen Li, he was also a little envious. It was a pity to give such a good girl to Chen Li. Furthermore, it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal. The girl beside him was most likely the best friend of the girl in front of him. The two of them had most likely sworn to marry the same person for the rest of their lives and never be separated. After hearing that the people from the Military Region wanted to give the girl in front of him to Chen Li, her best friend also wanted to come back and take a look¡­ Chen Yun was thinking too far ahead. Shangguan Jing frowned and sensed that something was wrong. ¡°Xiao Li? Who¡­ who is that?¡± Faced with Shangguan Jing¡¯s question, Chen Yun quickly took out the relevant identification. ¡°Chen Li, my son¡¯s name is Chen Li. Are you not here for him?¡± When Shangguan Jing heard this, she looked at the girl beside her. The two of them were puzzled. Could it be that the information given by the Military Region was wrong? Hence, Shangguan Jing tried to ask. ¡°Mr. Chen Yun, do you have any other sons?¡± ¡®Other sons?¡¯ Only then did Chen Yun realize that things might not be that simple. However, at this moment, he was drunk again and his mind was not clear. He subconsciously opened his mouth to answer. ¡°No, I only have one son. How can I have other sons?¡± Chapter 30 - Im Reporting Lin Sen for Cheating! Chapter 30 I¡¯m Reporting Lin Sen for Cheating! ¡®No?¡¯ Shangguan Jing tried to mention Lin Sen¡¯s name. ¡°Mr. Chen Yun, do you know Lin Sen?¡± If he was sober, the old drunkard Chen Yun would have realized that something was wrong. However, at this moment, Chen Yun was drunk and his consciousness began to blur. Therefore, he said it according to his inner thoughts. ¡°Lin Sen? That little bastard is not my son!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t have a son like that!¡± Chen Yun was drunk. As he shouted, he cursed Lin Sen. Seeing how agitated Chen Yun was, the girl beside Shangguan Jing was so scared that she stood in front of Shangguan Jing, afraid that Shangguan Jing would be hurt by the old drunkard. ¡°That uneducated son of a bitch!¡± ¡°Serves you right for losing your father in your early years!¡± ¡°Bah!¡± Chen Yun even spat in front of Shangguan Jing. This scene made Shangguan Jing frown. Before coming to Lin Sen¡¯s house, Shangguan Jing had a brief understanding of Lin Sen¡¯s family file. Of course, it was just a basic understanding. He knew that Lin Sen had a mother, a stepfather, and a stepbrother. That was all. As for the grudge between these people, Shangguan Jing did not know about it. At first, Shangguan Jing thought that this family was not very harmonious, but at least it should be passable. But now, she felt that she had guessed wrong. In particular, the drunk Chen Yun started to yell at Mo Rou to do this and that in front of Shangguan Jing. At the same time, because he thought of Lin Sen, and he had been contradicted by Lin Sen previously, anger rose in his heart as he cursed Mo Rou. Shangguan Jing frowned as she heard all sorts of unpleasant and filthy words. Just as Shangguan Jing was about to intervene, someone rushed back from not far away. ¡°Are you guys¡­ from the Heavenly Hub City Military Region?¡± It was Chen Li. At this moment, he had changed his clothes and done a simple bandage. He was limping over. ¡°Officer, I believe you¡¯ve received my letter of complaint¡­¡± When Chen Li saw the people from the Military Region appear here, he subconsciously thought that his report letter had taken effect. Now, the Military Region had sent someone to investigate Lin Sen¡¯s cheating. When Shangguan Jing heard this, she felt a headache coming on. She was just here to invite Lin Sen to join the Military Region. It was such a simple matter. But why did she always encounter some strange things? First, Chen Yun spouted nonsense. Then, he refused to admit that he had a son, Lin Sen. Then, a cripple came out of nowhere and said something about a report letter¡­ Before Shangguan Jing could clarify what was going on, Chen Li could not wait to tell her the situation. ¡°Officer, it¡¯s like this. A little b*stard in our family cheated and obtained a spot to participate in the Military Region Selection!¡± Cheating method? A spot to participate in the Military Region Selection? Mo Rou, who was washing the dishes at the side, felt as if she had been struck by lightning. There were only four of them in this family. It was impossible for the old drunkard Chen Yun to participate in the Military Region Selection. She, Mo Rou, was definitely not. And Chen Li would definitely not report himself. Therefore, the person Chen Li was referring to was most likely Lin Sen! Was Lin Sen qualified to participate in the selection? Thinking of this, Mo Rou became excited and happy for Lin Sen. But then, after some thought, she was worried for Lin Sen. Mo Rou also had some understanding of the abilities of Plant Lords. Unless there were a lot of resources to support right from the start, it was very difficult for a Plant Lord to have any combat strength at the beginning. Not to mention participating in the Military Region Selection! Therefore, Mo Rou subconsciously thought that what Chen Li said was probably true. Through cheating, Lin Sen obtained the qualification to participate in the Military Region Selection. At the thought of this, the plate in Mo Rou¡¯s hand slipped and shattered. Chen Li witnessed this scene. Originally, he was not very sure about his judgment, but seeing Mo Rou¡¯s expression as if it was a bolt from the blue, he became even more convinced of his judgment. That bastard Lin Sen must have cheated. As his mother, Mo Rou knew him well. That was why she acted like this after hearing him report Lin Sen! ¡°Sir, the cheating bastard in our family is called Lin Sen. He used a large number of modern weapons when he challenged the school¡¯s Mystic Realm Fragment¡­¡± ¡°He¡¯s already violated the Mystic Realm Fragment¡¯s management rules.¡± ¡°Furthermore, that b*stard even buried landmines in the Mystic Realm Fragment and killed other innocent challengers. His crimes are even more serious!¡± Chen Li recounted Lin Sen¡¯s crimes in one breath. As for Shangguan Jing, she frowned deeply. It was not because of Lin Sen¡¯s ¡°cheating¡±. The Military Region had already investigated the matter of the Mystic Realm Fragment. What confused Shangguan Jing was the relationship between Lin Sen and his family. His stepfather and stepbrother looked like they wanted to kill Lin Sen¡­ Shangguan Jing knew about Lin Sen¡¯s actual battle results. However, the girl beside Shangguan Jing did not know. After hearing Chen Li¡¯s report, the girl¡¯s eyes widened. ¡°Eh?!¡± ¡°Did Lin Sen really cheat when he challenged the Mystic Realm Fragment?¡± ¡°But there¡¯s no need¡­¡± The girl did not know the matter about Lin Sen challenging the Mystic Realm Fragment but she knew about Lin Sen¡¯s various dazzling performances in the live broadcast of the competition. From the strength that Lin Sen had displayed, it was a breeze for him to clear the large Mystic Realm Fragment. Why did he need to cheat? ¡°Officer, it¡¯s true! I have evidence!¡± Chen Li took out the photos that he had personally taken in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. In the image, one could vaguely see countless mines buried in the pits. ¡°Also, in order to prevent others from discovering this secret, this b*stard even planned to silence us!¡± ¡°I, Chen Li, am a member of the Military Region. Even if he is my younger brother, I will put righteousness before family!¡± Chen Li embellished the story of his encounter in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. He said that in order to prevent others from entering the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment and discovering the secret, Lin Sen had plotted to kill those who came later. At this moment, the girl beside Shangguan Jing could not stand it anymore. This was because she had already discovered that the buried mines were not so-called modern weapons, but a plant-Potato Mines! Recalling that Lin Sen was the Plant Lord, there was no doubt that this was most likely one of his abilities. However, the question was, where did Lin Sen get so many Potato Mines? The Potato Mine was a plant, and Lin Sen was a Plant Lord. All of this was reasonable and did not violate any rules. Just as the girl was about to explain, Shangguan Jing quietly patted her shoulder, indicating that she should not speak. Shangguan Jing could tell that her stepfather and stepbrother harbored deep malice towards Lin Sen in this family. Even Lin Sen¡¯s mother was not treated like a human being by his stepfather and stepbrother. Shangguan Jing planned to continue to look at the ugly faces of his stepfather and stepbrother. But at this moment, a commotion came from afar. It was Lin Sen! Lin Sen was not the only one who came back. There were also many advertisers who surrounded him, hoping that Lin Sen would help them advertise in the second round of the competition! Chapter 31 - Inviting Lin Sen to Join the Heavenly Hub Military Region Chapter 31 Inviting Lin Sen to Join the Heavenly Hub Military Region It was not easy for Lin Sen to get home. He was troubled by a group of advertisers who were surrounding him. Unexpectedly, as soon as he returned home, he saw the people from the Military Region at his door. At first, Lin Sen did not think that the two persons in military uniforms were here for him. In the family, there was Chen Li who was also related to the Military Region. However, when Lin Sen saw Chen Li, he felt that something was wrong. Although Chen Li had changed his clothes; they were intact. At the same time, he had also briefly washed up, and he did not look like the sorry state he was in when he was in the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment, Lin Sen could still see that Chen Li seemed to be injured and was limping. ¡°Could it be that Chen Li was working for the Military Region and suffered a work injury?¡± ¡°Are people from the Military Region here to express their concern?¡± When Lin Sen thought of this, Chen Li suddenly looked at Lin Sen. Those eyes were very frightening. It was as if Lin Sen had an irreconcilable feud with him! ¡°Lin Sen!!!!! Chen Li shouted. His voice seemed to carry a bone-deep hatred, making Lin Sen feel a sense of bafflement. He admitted that he and Chen Li usually disliked each other, but it would not develop to the extent where it was either one should be dead. Where did Chen Li¡¯s hatred come from? On Chen Li¡¯s side, when he saw Lin Sen appear, he quickly snitched. ¡°Officer, it¡¯s that little bastard!¡± ¡°He¡¯s Lin Sen, who cheated in the Military Region Selection!¡± Chen Li was currently unaware of Lin Sen¡¯s achievements in the arena. What he was talking about was the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment. It was because of the Wild Beast¡¯s Cave Mystic Realm Fragment that Lin Sen was qualified to participate in the Military Region Selection. Therefore, as long as Chen Li reported that Lin Sen had cheated in this segment, Lin Sen would be disqualified regardless of whether he passed the first round of the selection! Hearing Chen Li¡¯s words, the others did not say anything for the time being, but Lin Sen¡¯s mother, Mo Rou, subconsciously rushed over. She said in a daze. ¡°Officer, there¡¯s¡­ there must be a misunderstanding¡­¡± Mo Rou did not know if Lin Sen had really cheated, but as a mother, her first reaction when she heard news that was harmful to her son was to rush out and cover her son. When Chen Li heard this, he shouted. ¡°Go away!¡± ¡°You have no right to speak here!¡± With Chen Li¡¯s shout, not only did Lin Sen¡¯s face turn black, even Shangguan Jing¡¯s expression did not look right. From what Shangguan Jing knew, Mo Rou was Chen Li¡¯s mother in name, but Chen Li¡¯s attitude¡­ Just as Lin Sen clenched his fists and was about to come over to help his mother¡­ Shangguan Jing suddenly spoke. She came to the trembling Mo Rou and asked gently. ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t be nervous¡­¡± ¡°Is Lin Sen your son?¡± Shangguan Jing tried her best to speak in a friendly tone. On one hand, it was because this was Lin Sen¡¯s biological mother. Since she had come to invite Lin Sen, she had to think carefully about Lin Sen¡¯s family. On the other hand, it was also because she really could not bear to see Chen Li and Chen Yun¡¯s faces. Under Shangguan Jing¡¯s gentle voice, Mo Rou¡¯s nervous heart gradually calmed down. At this moment, Lin Sen had also returned to his house. Shangguan Jing turned to look at Lin Sen. She had a smile on her face, and her shoulder-length short hair fluttered in the wind. She looked very valiant. ¡°Are you Lin Sen?¡± Shangguan Jing took out a card and handed it to Lin Sen. It was proof of her identity as a member of the Military Region. ¡°Nice to meet you. My name is Shangguan Jing!¡± ¡°I¡¯m here to invite you to join our Heavenly Hub City Military Region!¡± Invite Lin Sen to join Heavenly Hub City Military Region? At this moment, Chen Yun and Chen Li were dumbfounded. The old drunkard and his son looked at each other. Countless questions surfaced in their minds. At this moment, Chen Li was very reluctant. He was making his final struggle. Chen Li pointed at Lin Sen and said. ¡°Officer, this person obtained the qualification to participate in the selection by cheating!¡± ¡°I have proof!¡± ¡°All of you must have been deceived by him!¡± Chen Li took out his phone. On it were the photos he had taken and the video he had recorded. However, both Shangguan Jing and her little follower turned a blind eye to Chen Li¡¯s so-called evidence. Seeing this, Chen Li could only look at the advertisers who had followed Lin Sen here. He said desperately. ¡°This person cheated in the Military Region Selection!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t be fooled!¡± ¡°This is the evidence I gathered¡­¡¯ Chen Li could only pin his hopes on those advertisers. These advertisers were essentially here for the traffic. The evidence that Chen Li had could be considered to have a certain amount of traffic. As long as the matter of Lin Sen cheating was exposed, it would cause a certain sensation and be able to obtain a certain amount of traffic! Therefore, these advertisers would definitely not let it go! Chen Li¡¯s thoughts were correct, but when these advertisers heard this, they all looked at Chen Li with strange expressions. ¡®Did Lin Sen cheat?¡¯ How did Lin Sen qualify for the selection in the first place? Did he cheat in this segment? There was no need for advertisers to consider this. This was because during the official Military Region Selection, they had seen Lin Sen¡¯s strength clearly through the live broadcast. Moreover, the people from the Military Region had already come to get in contact with Lin Sen and invited him to join the Military Region. Could it be that even the people from the Military Region were deceived by Lin Sen¡¯s cheating methods? Chen Li shouted hysterically, but no one believed him. Lin Sen, Mo Rou, Shangguan Jing, advertisers¡­ Everyone ignored the hysterical Chen Li as if he was a clown. At this moment, Shangguan Jing asked Lin Sen again. ¡°How is it? I don¡¯t think you need to think too much about it, right?¡± Shangguan Jing was afraid that Lin Sen, a genius, would be roped in by other forces, so she quickly told him all about the bargaining chips given by the Military Region. The military-grade skill book, the Plant Lord¡¯s Cultivation Technique, and Lin Sen and his family becoming powerful people! ¡°Become¡­ a powerful citizen?!¡± Lin Sen muttered under his breath. These few chips, the skill book, and the cultivation technique were not as attractive to Lin Sen as the last one! With the Seed of Amplification, Lin Sen could amplify plants by 10,000 times. The so-called skill book and so-called cultivation technique were not very important to him. However, becoming a powerful citizen was very important to Lin Sen! It was for no other reason than to give her mother a better life! ¡°What do you think?¡± ¡°If you join our Heavenly Hub City Military Region, you and your family can be elevated from commoners to people of power.¡± Shangguan Jing had already briefly sorted out Lin Sen¡¯s current family situation. Therefore, she knew that this condition was a fatal attraction for Lin Sen! As for Lin Sen, it was just as Shangguan Jing had guessed. Faced with this condition, he indeed had no ability to resist. Most importantly, he had no reason to refuse. Chapter 32 - The Regretful Father Chen Yun and Son Chapter 32 The Regretful Father Chen Yun and Son Just as Lin Sen was deep in thought and had yet to answer¡­ Chen Yun and Chen Li¡¯s eyes widened. They were overjoyed. ¡°Sen¡¯er, quickly accept this officer¡¯s invitation!¡± Chen Yun had never called Lin Sen that. Today was the first time he had done so. However, Lin Sen did not feel any warmth when he called him ¡°Sen¡¯er¡±. Instead, he felt a little disgusted. At this moment, Chen Li rubbed his palms together and smiled. He looked at Lin Sen. ¡°Brother, why are you hesitating?¡± ¡°Accept the officer¡¯s invitation. When the time comes, our family can be elevated from commoners to powerful people!¡± When Chen Li mentioned ¡°family¡±, his face was not red and his heart was not beating fast. This shamelessness made Shangguan Jing speechless. He clearly looked like he wanted to put righteousness before family. Seeing that Lin Sen did not answer, Chen Yun was afraid that Lin Sen would not agree to it. So he quickly gave Lin Sen some thought. ¡°Sen¡¯er, you¡¯re still young. I¡¯m afraid you don¡¯t know how many commoners dream of having power.¡± ¡°After becoming powerful citizens,, we can be considered nobles of the ancient era in the entire Heavenly Hub City!¡± Chen Yun told Lin Sen about the benefits of becoming a powerful citizen. They would not be fined for running red lights, and they could enter and exit all kinds of special places. Some special materials and items could not be bought by commoners. At the same time, after becoming a powerful citizen, one could live in the inner city of Heavenly Hub City. It was a better living environment there¡­ Just like when Lin Sen awakened his ability, a classmate mentioned a special fruit that could change his awakened ability when eaten. If there was something special, it was definitely not something that commoners could have. In short, Chen Yun told him everything in an exaggerated manner. He was like an old father who was trying his best to persuade his child for the latter¡¯s future. If Shangguan Jing had not experienced what happened just now, she might have thought that this family was very close. However, after experiencing what had just happened and seeing Chen Yun¡¯s behavior, Shangguan Jing had an indescribable feeling in her heart. The person in front of him was so utilitarian and hypocritical! Previously, when he thought that Lin Sen had no value, he had dissociated himself from the relationship and refused to acknowledge him as his son. Now that Lin Sen had value, they were a family again. On Lin Sen¡¯s side, his face was dark. Although he knew Chen Yun and Chen Li¡¯s ugliness, he still felt that he had underestimated their thick skin. Lin Sen did not say anything. Or rather, he did not want to have anything to do with these two anymore. Hence, on Shangguan Jing¡¯s side, she spoke for Lin Sen. Shangguan Jing looked at Chen Yun and Chen Li with a smile. ¡°But, Mr. Chen Yun, when we asked you before, you said that you didn¡¯t have Lin Sen as your son¡­¡± Shangguan Jing¡¯s words were like a critical hit, making Chen Yun¡¯s expression awkward. Chen Li turned to look at his father. He did not expect his father to say such words in front of the people in the Military Region. Although deep down, they definitely did not approve of Lin Sen. But in front of the people from the Military Region, one had to be careful with his words! Chen Yun quickly shook his head. He looked at Lin Sen ingratiatingly. ¡°No, no, Officer, you must have heard wrongly.¡± ¡°Sen¡¯er, we¡¯re a loving family, right?¡± Chen Yun did not care about his face anymore. When Lin Sen heard this, he really could not hold it in anymore. He said coldly. ¡°I don¡¯t have a family like yours!¡± Lin Sen held back more words. No matter what, it was his mother who had chosen Chen Yun back then. Lin Sen did not want to say too much in front of his mother. Hearing Lin Sen¡¯s words, Chen Li was anxious, let alone Chen Yun. ¡°Brother, that¡¯s not right.¡± ¡°Although Father would usually do and say some wrong things when he was drunk¡­ he¡¯s still your father. ¡°After your meteoric rise, you don¡¯t want your father anymore. That doesn¡¯t make sense, right?¡± Chen Li was smarter than Chen Yun. He would threaten Lin Sen morally. He thought that currently, if Lin Sen abandoned his father and brother after becoming successful, leaving behind an impression that he was such a person before the Military Region officer, Lin Sen¡¯s future path would be narrow. Therefore, in order to clear the impression of him before the Military Region officer, Lin Sen would definitely admit that they were family¡­ As before, Lin Sen remained silent. It was the girl beside Shangguan Jing who spoke. The girl¡¯s expression was a little strange, and she looked disgusted. ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°But we just heard that you¡¯re going to put righteousness before family and report your brother?¡± Putting righteousness before family? Report his brother? When Chen Li heard this, his expression instantly turned ugly. He had reported too early! Chen Li was very regretful. If he had kept his cool back then, he would have asked these two military personnel why they were here. Perhaps he could still coerce him morally at this moment and let Lin Sen bring them along to become powerful citizens! But now, it seemed to be too late¡­ They had already presented their worst side to the two military personnel. Even if Lin Sen did not say anything, they had no chance of turning the tables! Chen Yun and Chen Li¡¯s faces were ashen. Lin Sen spoke again. However, it was not about Chen Yun and Chen Li. Instead, he gave Shangguan Jing an answer. ¡°I accept your invitation!¡± Lin Sen finally gave an affirmative answer. Shangguan Jing said softly beside Mo Rou, ¡°Auntie, come with us. From now on, you¡¯ve become a third-ranking person of power. You can live in the inner city of Heavenly Hub City.¡± ¡°Your son has also become successful. In the future, get a housekeeper to take care of the household chores and you can enjoy life¡­¡¯ When Shangguan Jing said this, Mo Rou¡¯s face was filled with fear and trepidation, as if she could not believe it. The girl beside Shangguan Jing joked, ¡°Why would he need a housekeeper?¡± ¡°Auntie, with your son¡¯s potential, there are a bunch of girls waiting to be your daughter-in-law.¡± ¡°When the time comes, get your son to find a wife. You just have to recuperate and enjoy life.¡± The girl could tell that Mo Rou was unwell, so she deliberately said this. It was to remind Lin Sen that since he was successful now, he should quickly bring his mother for treatment. With the two girls¡¯s banter, Mo Rou¡¯s nervousness was soothed. ¡°Aiya, for my son Sen¡¯er¡­¡± ¡°If a girl takes a liking to him, it¡¯s already a blessing. A bunch of girls lining up to be my daughter-in-law? I don¡¯t even dare to think about it.¡± Although Mo Rou said that, she was just being humble. As a mother, she was definitely happier than anyone else to see her son succeed. At this moment, she could not help but smile. Accompanied by Shangguan Jing, Mo Rou and Lin Sen packed up their things and prepared to move to the inner city. Chen Yun and Chen Li had been begging Lin Sen to acknowledge them as family. Mo Rou could not bear to see the two of them begging. But Lin Sen firmly refused. ¡°For the last time, we have nothing to do with each other. If you want to acknowledge an ancestor, go and acknowledge others!¡± Acknowledge an ancestor? When Chen Yun and Chen Li heard this, their expressions changed drastically from anger. When Shangguan Jing and the girl beside her heard this, they snickered softly. Judging from Chen Yun and Chen Li¡¯s pleading, it seemed like they were acknowledging their ancestor¡­ In the end, after packing up, the father and son looked at the departing figures of Lin Sen and Mo Rou, their expressions constantly changing. There was anger, jealousy, and regret¡­ Chapter 33 - Moving House Chapter 33 Moving House When Lin Sen left his previous home, a private car was already waiting for him in the waiting area. There were two cars in total. One was to pick them, and the other was to transport luggage. Mo Rou was a little flustered when she saw two cars with military tags appear. ¡°Officer, that¡­ that¡¯s not necessary. Sen¡¯er and I can take a taxi there ourselves.¡± ¡°This is too much trouble for others¡­¡± Mo Rou¡¯s philosophy was to not trouble others as much as possible. Although Lin Sen had received an invitation from the Military Region, and their family¡¯s status had risen, Mo Rou was still unable to adapt to the current life. ¡°Mom, just enjoy yourself and be at ease.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t think it¡¯s too much trouble, or feel awkward about this.¡± ¡°After your son joins the Military Region, the value of my future contributions will definitely far exceed these!¡± When Lin Sen said this, his face was full of confidence. Shangguan Jing did not think that Lin Sen was too arrogant from his words. She knew that on one hand, Lin Sen was trying to comfort her mother. On the other hand, Lin Sen did have such potential! ¡°Yeah!¡± ¡°Auntie, don¡¯t think about that!¡± With the reassurance from several people, Mo Rou carefully got into the car, afraid that she might accidentally dirty the car door and scratch the glass¡­ Along the way, the car drove on a road through a very beautiful environment. There were expensive trees planted on both sides of the wide asphalt road. The grass was green and flowers bloomed. ¡°Is this the road to the inner city?¡± Mo Rou looked out the window and sighed in her heart. The inner city was a place where only the powerful could live. In ancient times, they were the nobles! The environment here was also different from the outer city. The most obvious thing was the environment and security! ¡°Auntie, are you satisfied with the environment here?¡± ¡°Your son worked hard to get all of this. Be proud of him!¡± When they arrived at their destination and got out of the car at a villa area, with a beautiful environment, Shangguan Jing once again gave Mo Rou some thought. She knew that this mother felt inferior, and believed that her family did not have the right to live in such a place. After hearing Shangguan Jing¡¯s words, Mo Rou gradually got over it. ¡°That¡¯s right. All of this was earned through Lin Sen¡¯s hard work¡­¡± Seeing that his mother who was gradually opening up, Lin Sen looked at Shangguan Jing gratefully. He had a very good impression of this officer. Shangguan Jing was different from the impression he had of officers, that they looked serious and were stern. This girl was very understanding. At the same time, Shangguan Jing seemed to have sensed Lin Sen¡¯s gaze. She looked back and gave Lin Sen a bright smile. ¡­ When they almost finished tidying up the house, it was already night. The luggage they had brought from Chen Yun¡¯s house had already been placed in the new house. Shangguan Jing and the others also left, leaving only Lin Sen and her mum. At this moment, Lin Sen was studying the things that Shangguan Jing had left for him before she left. ¡°I wonder what effect the Plant Lord¡¯s cultivation technique will have?¡± Lin Sen flipped through the book in his hand. Shangguan Jing had given it to him. It was also a gift from the Military Region to Lin Sen. ¡°After cultivating this technique, you can use the [Plant Grafting] ability¡­¡± Plant grafting?! When Lin Sen read up to this point, he was overjoyed. He did not expect this gift from the Military Region to be so precious. Different plants had different flaws. For example, although the Nine Leaf Sword Grass had powerful offensive abilities, its defense was weak. Although the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree had powerful defensive abilities, it did not have any offensive methods. At this moment, Lin Sen had this thought. If the Nine Leaf Sword Grass was grafted onto a 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree, the latter would grow the leaves of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. Then, could the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree also release terrifying sword qi while having powerful defense? Of course, Lin Sen had never used this ability before, so he did not know if it was as he had guessed. ¡°If it¡¯s as I guessed, then this Plant Grafting is really too awesome!¡± ¡°Wouldn¡¯t I be able to create an all-rounded plant?¡± ¡°One that has the defense of a 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree, the terrifying attack of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass, the powerful control of Parasitic Thorns, and the close-combat devouring of the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower?¡± Thinking of this, Lin Sen felt that this idea might be unrealistic. If all the plants could be grafted together recklessly, then there would probably be all kinds of terrifying plants that would be famous in the world after being grafted. However, so far Lin Sen had yet to see any related information. Therefore, this Plant Grafting would most likely have some restrictions. It was not as invincible as Lin Sen had imagined. Then, Lin Sen looked at the new plants in his territory. The Military Region gave the [Pea Shooter] as a gift. ¡°A-grade plant, the Pea Shooter. This is indeed the true long-range attack method!¡± Lin Sen¡¯s lips curled into an unkind smile. All along, the long-range attack that Lin Sen possessed was the sword qi attack of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. However, the attack range of this sword qi was relatively short. It was completely incomparable to the long-range shot like that of the Pea Shooter! ¡°Now, can I really play Plants vs Zombies?¡± Lin Sen imagined that if the venue for the second round of the competition was still a zombie-related Mystic Realm, he could really set up the classic combination layout of Plants vs Zombies. ¡°However, what amplification should I give to this Pea Shooter?¡± Lin Sen thought about this issue for a long while. Increase the growth speed of the Pea Shooter and evolve it into a double-gun Pea Shooter? Increase the number of Pea Shooters and have 10,000 Pea Shooters? Countless pieces of information surfaced in Lin Sen¡¯s mind. Countless simulated scenarios appeared. ¡°Something¡¯s not right¡­¡± ¡°The enemies I¡¯ve encountered so far seem to be getting stronger and stronger!¡± ¡°If it was a simple spray attack of Pea Shooters, it would most probably only scratch the surface.¡± Lin Sen remembered that when he was dealing with the Butcher, the attacks of his plants on the Butcher were actually a little weak. Therefore, what Lin Sen lacked now was the ability to deal damage. 10,000 Pea Shooters were enough to deal sufficient damage, but at the same time, they were also very easily destroyed. This was because Lin Sen¡¯s current defensive methods could not protect so many Pea Shooters. After thinking about it, Lin Sen finally thought of a direction to increase his strength. Chapter 34 - Second Round of Competition, Wasteland Mystic Realm Chapter 34 Second Round of Competition, Wasteland Mystic Realm The day after Lin Sen moved to his new home, the second round of the competition began. Although Lin Sen had already accepted the invitation from the Heavenly Hub City Military Region and received the corresponding rewards, he still had to continue to participate in the competition. This was because the competition that followed involved other Military Regions. If he could win, he would have to represent the Military Region in the competition! ¡°Student Lin Sen, don¡¯t let me down~¡± Ye Zhiyuan, who was also from Heavenly Hub Lord Academy, greeted Lin Sen. The second match was different from the first. The second round had a strict limit on the number of participants. Currently, there were five key schools in Heavenly Hub City, from Heavenly Hub No. 1 High School to Heavenly Hub No.4 High School, as well as Heavenly Hub Lord Academy, From No. 1 High School to No. 4 High School, as the names suggested, they were only secondary school students. As for the twelfth-grade students, they were only qualified to awaken their abilities and become lords when they were about 18 years old. However, Heavenly Hub Lord Academy was different. They did not only have secondary school students. It was an academy that integrated the functions of primary school up to university. However, for the second round of the selection, Heavenly Hub Lord Academy did not have an exception. They could only send one person! And this person was the one who performed most brilliantly in the first round of the competition! On Heavenly Hub Lord Academy¡¯s side, under the recommendation of the various teachers, they finally chose Lin Sen to represent the academy in the battle. In this batch of students, there were only two who were the most prominent. One was the Lord of Flying Birds, Ye Zhiyuan, and the other was the Plant Lord, Lin Sen. At first, the teachers were a little conflicted. After all, everyone did not know Lin Sen well enough. Would Lin Sen be able to perform steadily? Moreover, Plant Lords had many weaknesses. What if Lin Sen, a Plant Lord, was completely suppressed in the upcoming competition? Of course, there were also teachers who thought highly of Lin Sen and strongly recommended him. Just as the teachers were having an intense discussion because of this, Ye Zhiyuan approached the school and voluntarily chose to withdraw her participation. With Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s withdrawal, Lin Sen became the only member of Heavenly Hub Lord Academy who could participate in the battle. When Lin Sen heard Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s greeting, he showed her a grateful expression. Although Lin Sen felt that with his current strength, he did not need others to give way to him, and that he could obtain the qualifications with his own strength, Ye Zhiyuan¡¯s actions were also a token of her sincerity. Lin Sen appreciated this. ¡°Next, I¡¯ll briefly explain the rules of the competition!¡± ¡°The representatives of the five key schools will enter the Mystic Realm to compete.¡± ¡°The competition is a mixed battle. The last one left will be the champion and will be qualified to advance!¡± When the examiner gave everyone the relevant information, Lin Sen was a little nervous. Although he was very confident in his current strength, this was his first experience of such a competition, so he could not help but feel a little nervous. ¡°Next, please enter the Wasteland Mystic Realm that is specially used for the competition!¡± After exchanging glances with the contestants from the other four schools, Lin Sen stepped into the teleportation magic formation. Soon, he arrived at the competition venue. ¡°Is this the so-called Wasteland Mystic Realm?¡± Lin Sen looked around. There was nothing but barren land. This seemed to be a basin surrounded by mountains. Tall pine-like mountains stood around it, looking like five-fingered mountains that supported this small basin. ¡°The initial entry location was random. At the moment, I haven¡¯t met anyone from other schools.¡± ¡°I¡¯ll start preparing!¡± Lin Sen immediately made simple strategic arrangements. As he did not know much about the enemy at the moment, he could not come up with any combination methods to restrain the enemy for the time being. After some thought, Lin Sen decided to use the Pea Shooter and the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree first. The moment he found good terrain, he started setting up! Just like the first match, the second match was also tracked by drones. ¡°Everyone, look. Student Lin Sen has used the same tactic as before.¡± ¡°But can this strategy really work?¡± The host asked a soul-searching question. At the same time, many people began to discuss the issues with Lin Sen as they watched the live broadcast. ¡°This Lin Sen is too sneaky!¡± ¡°Hmph, he¡¯s just a clown waiting for an opportunity. Lords are as brainless as zombies in battle!¡± No one was optimistic about Lin Sen¡¯s current strategy. After all, Lin Sen¡¯s opponents were the other lords, not zombies! Zombies had low intelligence and no brains. Lin Sen could use this tactic to slowly exhaust the zombies to death. However, a lord was different. First of all, the intelligence of a lord was not on the same level as a zombie. The lords would not fall into Lin Sen¡¯s rhythm and attack according to Lin Sen¡¯s arrangements. They would look for weak spots, and they would look for the shortcomings of Lin Sen¡¯s combination, the flaws of this arrangement. Secondly, the abilities of a lord were different from zombies. They were not fixed! Different lords had different abilities! ¡°One of the lords¡¯ abilities is fire. I¡¯m afraid there¡¯s no Lin Sen in this competition!¡± As no battle had broken out on Lin Sen¡¯s side for the time being, there was nothing to watch. Hence, the program director switched the view to another place in the Wasteland. ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, unlike Lin Sen, who is isolated from the world, a fierce war has broken out here!¡± ¡°Heavenly Hub No. 1 High School and Heavenly Hub No. 3 High School are up against each other!¡± The host sounded a little excited. In a corner of the Wasteland Mystic Realm, the contestants of the two schools ran into each other and an intense battle erupted. ¡°The Iron Armor Lord of Heavenly Hub No. 1 High School versus the Sky Wolf Lord of Heavenly Hub No. 3 High School!¡± ¡°This is a battle between iron-armored warriors and a wolf pack!¡± At the scene, the lord of the No. 1 High School summoned countless iron-armored warriors. The lord of the No. 3 High School summoned a wolf pack. Iron Armor vs Wolf Pack! The audience watching the live broadcast were overjoyed. ¡°I bet that the lord of No.1 High School will definitely win!¡± ¡®Although these wolves are very fierce and great in number, and they are definitely a menace to other enemies, can these wolves break through the defense of the iron-armored warriors?¡± Can they break through the defense? This was the current concern of everyone. The wolves of the Sky Wolf Lord were all very fierce. None of them looked easy to deal with. However, when these wolves encountered iron blocks, they would be directly jinxed to death! Soon, the soldiers of both sides started fighting! The iron-armored warriors stayed where they were, forming a solid iron wall. Under the command of the Sky Wolf Lord, the wolf pack charged towards the enemy. ¡°Howl~!¡± A wolf rushed in front of an iron-armored warrior and slashed down with its claws. The audience watching the live broadcast could see sparks flashing. Then, everyone realized that the wolf¡¯s claws¡­ ¡°broke?!¡± ¡°Haha!¡± ¡°This wolf is too funny!¡± Under everyone¡¯s gaze, not only did the wolf¡¯s claws not leave any wounds on the iron-armored warrior, but it even injured itself. ¡°He¡¯s wearing a reverse armor. He is standing still and letting the enemy kill himself!¡± ¡°Absolutely amazing!¡± ¡°What will happen if Lin Sen encounters this? Speaking of which, Lin Sen¡¯s luck is too good¡­¡± Chapter 35 - Elimination of No.3 and No.4 High Schools Chapter 35 Elimination of No.3 and No.4 High Schools Everyone was discussing, and naturally, they were talking about Lin Sen. Would Lin Sen be able to defeat the Iron Armor Lord who had an iron wall? In fact, even without the Iron Armor Lord, would Lin Sen be able to take on just the Sky Wolf Lord¡¯s wolf pack? ¡°This Lin Sen is really lucky!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just that the other two schools have gone against each other and started fighting.¡± ¡°This time, Lin Sen will most likely enter the top three!¡± According to the rules of the competition, among the five contestants present, the first one to be eliminated would be fifth place. The second to be eliminated would be fourth place. And so on. Currently, one of the two schools would definitely be eliminated. Had Lin Sen, who was hiding in a corner, miraculously made it into the top three? The host did not provide much footage of the battle between the Iron Armor Lord and the Sky Wolf Lord. Because the outcome of this battle was already decided. The wolf pack of the Sky Wolf Lord could not do anything to the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s iron-armored warriors. Now, the host¡¯s main focus was to switch the scene to another battlefield. The Iron Armor Lord of No.1 High School and the Sky Wolf Lord of No.3 High School clashed. And the Flame Lord No. 2 High School was up against the Poison Marsh Lord of No. 4 High School. ¡°Dear viewers, a fierce battle is taking place on this battlefield.¡± ¡°The two sides of the battle are the Flame Lord of Heavenly Hub No.2 High School and the Poison Marsh Lord of Heavenly Hub No.4 High School!¡± As the name suggested, the Flame Lord¡¯s ability was related to fire and he could control flames. As for the Poison Marsh Lord, he could control a special kind of air, the Poison Marsh! ¡°Dear viewers, from the looks of it¡­¡± ¡°These two matches seem to be one-sided¡­¡± The host was speechless. Although the Poison Marsh Lord of No. 4 High School was very strong, it was jinxed to death by the Flame Lord! The Poison Marsh Lord could control the composition of the air, filling it with poisonous swamp gas. This could be said to be impossible to guard against! But the problem was that the Poison Marsh Lord¡¯s opponent was the Flame Lord! No matter what, the Poison Marsh was a type of swamp gas. Once it was triggered by flames, it would instantly burn. In other words, the Poison Marsh Lord¡¯s Poison Marsh had become the Flame Lord¡¯s fuel! At the scene, the Poison Marsh Lord was unconvinced and seemed to want to struggle. The Poison Marsh that could be seen with the naked eye swept towards the Flame Lord. However, the Flame Lord stood in the flames and snapped his fingers. In an instant, the Poison Marsh was ignited. BOOM! The dense poisonous swamp was ignited, producing a series of explosions. When the dust settled, the Poison Marsh Lord lay on the ground, charred black¡­ Now, the Sky Wolf Lord of No. 3 High School and Poison Marsh Lord of No. 4 High School had been eliminated. Only the Iron Armor Lord of No.1 High School, the Flame Lord of No.2 High School, and the Plant Lord of Heavenly Hub Lord Academy, Lin Sen, were left. ¡°Dear viewers, the next exciting moment is finally here!¡± ¡°Which two contestants will face off and start a war?¡± The drone took off, giving the audience the omniscient view. From the sky, the Iron Armor Lord on the ground did not move. From the other party¡¯s strategy, it seemed like he was wearing reverse armor. He stood rooted to the ground and waited for the enemy to automatically attack. Then, he would reverse armor and kill the enemy. On Lin Sen¡¯s side, he basically did not move and just hid in the corner. If this continued, the competition would basically fall into a stalemate. Everyone would either hide or stay where they were. If there was no conflict, there would be no winner. If this continued, the Military Region might have to use the method of shrinking the safety zone. It would keep shrinking the activity area, forcing everyone to approach the safety area in the center. This would definitely cause a conflict¡­ However, the Military Region had not adopted this method because the Flame Lord of No.2 High School had begun to take action! The Flame Lord of No. 2 High School looked around. He did not know where his other competitors were. Hence, he randomly found a direction and planned to check out the situation. Coincidentally, that direction was where Lin Sen was! ¡°Dear viewers, this is going to be interesting!¡± ¡°The Flame Lord of No. 2 High School is approaching the Plant Lord of the Lord Academy.¡± ¡°Will this be another fatal attribute suppression, a fatal blow?¡± The host understood the effects of the program. Her words stirred everyone¡¯s emotions. One had to know on Lin Sen¡¯s side, he was the Plant Lord, and the Flame Lord before him was a counter to Lin Sen in terms of attributes! If it were anyone else, perhaps everyone would only think that this was a simple crushing defeat without any suspense. However, Lin Sen, the dark horse, had given everyone many surprises. Now, everyone was also looking forward to watching how Lin Sen would fight against the Flame Lord. Was there a way to crack this? ¡°Unless Lin Sen has an ice-type or water-type plant that can put out the fire, there¡¯s no suspense in this competition!¡± Some of the audience commented. In the previous competition, everyone had also seen the plants that Lin Sen had taken out. At the moment, Lin Sen did not have any plants that could put out fires. So, Was Lin Sen basically going to lose? ¡°No. 1 High School is the strongest defense and No. 2 High School is the strongest attack. What can the Plant Lord of the Lord Academy do in this competition?¡± ¡°Can this dark horse give everyone a dazzling performance?¡± The host explained the current situation in a few sentences. The Iron Armor Lord of No.1 High School had the strongest defense, and the Flame Lord of No.2 High School had the strongest attack. It was only natural that the representatives of these two schools were able to defeat their competitor. But what did Lin Sen have on his side? Many viewers began to mutter about Lin Sen¡¯s luck in getting into the top three. They thought that Lin Sen would definitely reveal his true colors when he faced the Flame Lord later and be beaten until even his parents would not be able to recognize him. The program director switched the view to Lin Sen. At this moment, Lin Sen had already planted a 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree in the corner. Meanwhile, the Pea Shooters were ready there. ¡°Does Lin Sen still want to use this tactic?¡± ¡°I think it won¡¯t be long before he gets badly beaten¡­¡± Before the audience could finish complaining, the Pea Shooters seemed to have sensed something and started shooting peas from afar! ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± ¡°Is the Flame Lord so far away?¡± From the omniscient perspective, the audience could see that the Flame Lord was still quite a distance away from Lin Sen. Neither side could see each other. However, the Pea Shooters had already started shooting peas at the Flame Lord from afar! ¡°What¡¯s with these Pea Shooters?¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t their distance-perception terrifying?¡± ¡°But what good would that do?¡± ¡®What is the purpose?¡¯ Everyone could see that the perception of the Pea Shooters was very terrifying, but it was useless. They did not think that the Pea Shooters could attack the enemy at such a distance. Just as everyone was looking at the two of them from the omniscient view, they realized a terrifying fact. pea cannonball flew towards the Flame A Lord! Chapter 36 - Breaking Through the Flame Lords Defense Chapter 36 Breaking Through the Flame Lord¡¯s Defense ¡°Not good! Enemy attack!¡± The Flame Lord hurriedly dodged in fear. Fortunately, the pea¡¯s flying speed was not fast. With his strength, he barely managed to react and dodge the attack. ¡°Where¡¯s the enemy?¡± The Flame Lord hid behind a rock and carefully observed his surroundings. In his opinion, the enemy was definitely not far ahead. ¡°Sneaking up on me?¡± The Flame Lord took out an item that looked like a flame basin. Flames were burning fiercely inside this tool. ¡°No matter where you hide, it¡¯s useless in front of my sea of fire!¡± The Flame Lord brought the flame basin in front of him and gave it a puff of his breath. Whoosh! Whoosh! It was as if there was a jet of flames. The area a few hundred meters ahead was ignited, and instantly turned into a sea of fire! ¡°Let¡¯s see how long you can last.¡± The Flame Lord firmly believed that the enemy was hiding not far ahead. Currently, his sea of fire attack would definitely envelop the other party. The other party would definitely be struggling in the sea of fire. ¡°Give up!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not my match!¡± The Flame Lord placed his hands behind his back and muttered to himself. The uninformed might think that the Flame Lord at this moment was very handsome and had the demeanor of a powerful person. However, the audience could only see that the Flame Lord was talking to himself from the omniscient view. Lin Sen was thousands of meters away from the Flame Lord! ¡°Such a distance, how was this achieved?¡± Everyone was shocked. They could not understand how Lin Sen could make the Pea Shooters attack so far away. In fact, this was because Lin Sen had used the 10,000-fold amplification on the attack range of the Pea Shooters! For the Pea Shooters, Lin Sen¡¯s positioning was very obvious. It was a long-range attack plant! The one with powerful attack was the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. For control, there were the Parasitic Thorns, for defense, there were the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Trees, and for close combat, there were the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flowers¡­ Therefore, the Pea Shooters did not have to take on any other work. It only needed to do well in long-range attacks! With the 10,000-fold amplification in attack range, the Pea Shooters could now launch a super long-range attack on the Flame Lord! In the distance, the Flame Lord was still battling with the air. At this moment, a pea attacked him again. ¡°Hm?¡± ¡°Kid, you still dare to sneak attack me?¡± The Flame Lord sensed it. At this moment, that pea pierced through the sea of fire. The pea carried a burning flame and flew towards the Flame Lord like a fireball. ¡°Good fella!¡± The Flame Lord was shocked. ¡°I¡¯m immune to fire elemental attacks!¡± He did not expect the enemy to be able to use his flames to turn ordinary peas into flaming peas. If he did not have the Flame Lord¡¯s ability, he probably would not feel good after being hit by this fireball! But even now¡­ The Flame Lord tried to catch the flaming pea with his palm. He was knocked back a few meters. ¡°This¡­¡± The Flame Lord felt his entire hand go numb. ¡°I can¡¯t take a second pea head-on!¡± The Flame Lord began to dodge the pea attacks. Because the flight of the peas was slow, it was not difficult for him to dodge. ¡°Kid, don¡¯t let me catch you!¡± The Flame Lord chased after the peas. He had thought that the enemy was not far away. However, after chasing for a few hundred meters, he realized that there was still no trace of the enemy. After chasing for another few hundred meters, there was still nothing! He had been played like a monkey for a half a day, but he had yet to see the enemy. This was too infuriating! Anger rose in his heart. The Flame Lord continued to chase after the peas! ¡°Dear viewers, I can see that the Flame Lord of No. 2 High School is on the verge of breaking through the defense!¡± ¡°Plant Lord vs. Flame Lord, would the plants be burned to ashes?¡± ¡°Or would the flames be extinguished by special plants?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wait and see!¡± The host became excited. There would probably be a good show to watch next! ¡°This Plant Lord is quite interesting.¡± ¡°If the peas of his Pea Shooters fly faster, making it impossible for the enemy to dodge, he might be able to pursue the enemy to his death with ultra-long-range attacks!¡± ¡°This dark horse is getting more and more interesting. I¡¯m really looking forward to his performance!¡± Amidst everyone¡¯s anticipation, Lin Sen stared at the plants that were constantly shooting peas into the distance and instantly understood the reason. ¡°Is the enemy in that direction?!¡± Lin Sen looked in that direction. There was no one at the end of the endless Wasteland. This meant that the enemy was still very far away from him! ¡°With such a range, if I control it a little more and let the other party eat peas along the way, won¡¯t I be able to pursue the enemy to his death?¡± Thinking of this, Lin Sen immediately planted the Parasitic Thorns. The Parasitic Thorns burrowed into the ground. Soon, they spread out on the ground. Vines weaved through the soil. At this moment, in the eyes of the audience who were watching the battle from the omniscient view, he was getting closer and closer! The Flame Lord was getting closer and closer to Lin Sen. ¡°Lin Sen is too trusting!¡± ¡°What a mole!¡± ¡°Without this plant, the Flame Lord might not have been able to find him if he hid in a corner.¡± ¡°When the time comes, the Flame Lord and the Iron Armor Lord will take the lead. At the very least, he can hide behind and get second place.¡± It has been suggested that Lin Sen¡¯s Pea Shooters was a mole plant. Although the attack range was far, it also revealed Lin Sen¡¯s location to the enemy. ¡°Wake up. Even without the Pea Shooter as a mole, as long as these three contestants drag on, the Military Region will definitely shrink the circle and force them to face off!¡± Some people also thought that it did not matter if there was a mole on Lin Sen¡¯s side. Even if Lin Sen did not have the Pea Shooter as a mole, the Military Region would shrink the circle and let them fight. At this moment, the Flame Lord finally entered Lin Sen¡¯s field of vision. ¡°The most exciting moment has finally arrived!¡± The host¡¯s voice trembled slightly. One could see her excitement. At the scene, the Flame Lord was already extremely annoyed by Lin Sen¡¯s peas. Now that he saw the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree in front of him, he understood that Lin Sen was hiding behind it. He had finally caught that bastard enemy! ¡°Brat, come out and die!¡± Just as the Flame Lord spoke, a vine emerged from the ground and bound his legs. At this moment, a pea flew towards him. ¡°Damn it!¡± ¡°He actually knows how to use plants to cooperate in battle?¡± Flames erupted from the Flame Lord¡¯s body. In an instant, the vines were burned. He broke free and easily dodged the pea¡¯s attack. ¡°They¡¯re useless. These methods¡­ are useless against me!!!¡± Chapter 37 - Plant Immunity to Fire Chapter 37 Plant Immunity to Fire ¡°These plants of yours are the best fuel for me!¡± The Flame Lord laughed out loud. He was extremely aggrieved by Lin Sen¡¯s Pea Shooters along the way. Now that he had finally caught Lin Sen, he had to vent the frustration in his heart! Holding the brazier, the Flame Lord took a deep breath. ¡°Shit!¡± ¡°That Flame Lord is going to use the same trick again!¡± ¡°Lin Sen, the Plant Lord, is in danger!¡± Many people outside the arena were worried about this. Although there was a tall 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree in front of Lin Sen, there were also Pea Shooters sniping from afar. However, these things could not escape the established fact that they were all plants! As for plants, most of them were destined to be countered by flames! Whoosh! Whoosh! The flames burned, and the small area in front of him turned into a sea of fire. Among Lin Sen¡¯s plants, the Parasitic Thorns were the first to bear the brunt of the attack. Vines surged out and pounded everywhere, in a vain attempt to extinguish the flames. However, it was useless. After the plants came in contact with the flames, they burned¡­ ¡°Kid, give up!¡± ¡°To be able to force me to use 30% of my strength, I acknowledge your strength!¡± The Flame Lord placed his hands behind his back. His face was filled with confidence, as if victory was in sight! ¡°Thirty percent?¡± ¡°This Flame Lord is really shameless!¡± ¡°Based on how he broke through his defense, shouldn¡¯t he have used 120% of his strength?¡± No one took the Flame Lord¡¯s words seriously. Although Lin Sen was restrained by his attributes, it seemed that his defeat was inevitable. However, judging from the Flame Lord¡¯s previous performance, he was actually not that strong. Saying that he only used 30% of his strength made many people treat it as a joke. ¡°What miracle will happen on Lin Sen¡¯s side?¡± Some of the audience were worried for Lin Sen. At the scene, Lin Sen looked at the burning vines and remembered that he still had something important that he had not used! ¡°King-grade zombie crystal core powder!¡± Lin Sen recalled the reward he had obtained in the Zombie Garden Mystic Realm. Among which, the king-level zombie core, if ground into powder and sprinkled on the plants, would give the plants immunity to fire. Thinking of this, Lin Sen immediately took out the zombie core that had been ground into powder but had yet to be sprinkled. ¡°Let me see if this thing is reliable.¡± Lin Sen sprinkled the red powder on the plants he had. After the Pea Shooters absorbed the red powder, its entire body emitted a red light before returning to normal. It was not just the Pea Shooters. The other plants were the same. Even the burning Parasitic Thorns in the distance were the same. After the Parasitic Thorns emitted a red light¡­ ¡°Kid, you still want to struggle?¡± ¡°What¡¯s the point?¡± Before the Flame Lord could finish speaking, a vine crawled out of the sea of fire¡­ ¡°What is this?¡± The Flame Lord frantically dodged the vine¡¯s attack. He looked ahead with lingering fear. Over there, countless vines were dancing in the sea of fire like a group of demons. The flames could not burn them! ¡°What the hell happened?¡± The Flame Lord was very puzzled. Lin Sen¡¯s plants were clearly burned by his flames a moment ago, but in the next moment, they suddenly became immune to flames. This was beyond logic! ¡°Capture the leader first!¡± ¡°If I can¡¯t deal with your vines, can I not deal with you?¡± The Flame Lord controlled the flames to sweep towards Lin Sen. ¡°That tree can¡¯t possibly be immune to fire, right?¡± Although he was shocked by the fire immunity displayed by the Parasitic Thorns, the Flame Lord did not think that Lin Sen could defeat him. As long as he could get rid of the troublesome Parasitic Thorns, his flames would be invincible against Lin Sen and the other plants! Outside the arena. At this moment, the host screamed. ¡°Dear viewers, the Plant Lord and the Flame Lord are engaged in the most intense battle.¡± ¡°Although the vines of the Plant Lord have the ability to resist fire, the other plants¡­¡± Before the host could finish speaking, a huge fire swept over and charged at the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree. This was Lin Sen¡¯s most important wall! A 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree blocked the flames outside! ¡°The flames¡­ the flames¡­ failed to burn¡­¡± The host hurriedly changed her words. She had expected the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree to be ignited by the flames, and Lin Sen would lose the last barrier and surrender. This did not happen. Instead, the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree stood firm and blocked all the flames. Moreover, these flames could not burn the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree! ¡°Ladies and gentlemen, what a surprise!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know what Lin Sen did, but his plants seem to be immune to fire now!¡± ¡°The situation should have been lopsided, but now it has become confusing!¡± On the battlefield. A vine emerged from the ground and bound the Flame Lord¡¯s feet. ¡°Oh no!¡± The Flame Lord struggled, wanting to escape from this place. But Lin Sen had already controlled the Pea Shooters to attack him. ¡°Ah!!!¡± At the critical moment, the Flame Lord relied on his powerful strength to break free from the vine. However, his right hand was still hit by a pea. It was so painful that the Flame Lord¡¯s hand loosened, and his tool, the flame basin, fell from his hand. ¡°My flame basin!¡± The Flame Lord shouted, wanting to snatch his item back. But one vine after another blocked his way, preventing him from moving. In the end, the Flame Lord could only watch in despair as the flames were swept away by the vines and sent to Lin Sen. At this moment, Lin Sen was staring at the flame basin in his hand with flickering eyes. Just now, he had seen the Pea Shooters spraying peas through the flames and turning them into fireballs. From there, Lin Sen learned another way to use a Pea Shooter. However, the problem was that he did not have the fire ability, so he could not create flames every time he fought. Now that he had seized the flame basin from the Flame Lord, Lin Sen had an idea. Lin Sen let the vines lift the flame basin and set it in front of the Pea Shooters. The Pea Shooters fired the peas, and when the peas passed through the flame basin, the entire peas burst into flames and turned into fireballs. BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! The small fireballs flew out! Although the Flame Lord was immune to flames to a certain extent, the fireballs shot out by the Pea Shooters with the help of the fire basin would cause a small explosion when they hit the ground. The impact of this explosion was not something that the Flame Lord was immune to! BOOM! There was another explosion. Although it did not hit the Flame Lord, it hit the area around it. The explosion and airwaves caused the Flame Lord to be in a very sorry state. In the end¡­ ¡°I¡­ admit defeat!¡± Seeing the fireballs flying over, the Flame Lord chose to surrender. He had to surrender. On one hand, the explosion of the fireballs had severely injured him. On the other hand, the vines had been trying to capture him and restrain him. Most importantly, Lin Sen kept firing at him. But he could not hit Lin Sen! Lin Sen had found a very remote corner. With the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree shielding Lin Sen, he could not even touch Lin Sen at all. Chapter 38 - Desperate Situation Chapter 38 Desperate Situation The battle between the Plant Lord and the Fire Lord ended with the Fire Lord surrendering. This result shocked countless spectators. Some people had guessed that Lin Sen would most likely have some trump card to reverse the situation completely. However, they did not expect things to end like this. ¡°This is unbelievable!¡± ¡°The Plant Lord was actually able to defeat the Flame Lord¡­¡± In the arena, the Flame Lord turned into light with a bitter expression and dissipated, leaving the competition venue. If there was a sliver of hope that he could attack Lin Sen, he would not have given up. However, the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch tree blocked him, making him despair. He could not attack Lin Sen, but Lin Sen could slowly exhaust him to death! If this continued, he would only be humiliating himself, so the Flame Lord chose to surrender. After the Flame Lord surrendered, the battle here also attracted the attention of another lord, the Iron Armor Lord! The Iron Armor Lord did not rush over immediately. Instead, he chose to stay where he was and wait for the enemy to rush over to reverse his armor to kill him. However, Lin Sen had chosen a similar strategy. He would guard this area and not leave, waiting for the enemy to come knocking on his door. The two lords were in a deadlock. At this moment, the Military Region finally adopted a backup plan. [The safety zone has begun to shrink. Participants, please head to the safety zone¡­] The notification sounded. Lin Sen looked around and realized that he could not see where the circle was. On the other hand, he realized that he was at the edge of the circle. If it was shrunk, his position would be unsafe. Thus, the Iron Armor Lord was forced to change his position. The two contestants did not have a comprehensive view of the shrinking circle. However, the audience that had the omniscient view was able to see things comprehensively. From above, they could see that a circle on the ground was shrinking. If one were to fall out of the circle, he would be judged to have failed. Coincidentally, Lin Sen was in the center of the shrinking circle. In other words, Lin Sen did not need to run at all. He only needed to wait where he was! ¡°This Lin Sen is really the chosen one!¡± ¡°It actually shrank to his side¡­¡± ¡°As long as he lays an ambush along the way, it¡¯s not impossible for him to win the championship!¡± Everyone was discussing. On Lin Sen¡¯s side, although he did not know where the circle was going to shrink, he had a bold guess after realizing that he still had not seen the shrinking circle. ¡°Perhaps I¡¯m in the center of the circle?¡± ¡°Does that mean that Iron Armor Lord will eventually come here to fight me?¡± At the thought of this, Lin Sen realized that the Pea Shooters were spraying fireballs in a certain direction. ¡°This is¡­ the enemy is in range!¡± Lin Sen quickly hid the Parasitic Thorns. He planted the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flowers behind the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree as his last defense! After that, Lin Sen entered a long wait. The Pea Shooters had been firing fireballs, which meant that the enemy had not been eliminated! After being baptized by the fireballs for so long, was the enemy still fine? Just as Lin Sen was thinking about this, a figure appeared on the distant horizon! ¡°Dear viewers, the Iron Armor Lord has finally appeared!¡± ¡°The most exciting moment of the competition has finally arrived!¡± ¡°Will the Iron Armor Lord with absolute defense win?¡± ¡°Or will the Plant Lord with endless strange methods win?¡± The host shouted, driving the audience¡¯s emotions. After being harassed by the Pea Shooters¡¯ fireballs for a while, the Iron Armor Lord actually arrived in front of Lin Sen unscathed! Not to mention Lin Sen, even the audience wanted to know how this was achieved. On the scene, opposite Lin Sen, the Iron Armor Lord summoned his troops. Warriors in platinum armor were summoned! ¡°Dear viewers, the Iron Armor Lord has actually summoned his strongest soldiers, the Platinum Warriors!¡± The host explained the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s abilities to everyone. The Iron Armor Lord had an incomparably powerful defense. The soldiers under him were warriors wearing all kinds of armor. Iron Warriors, Bronze Warriors, Silver Warriors, Gold Warriors, Platinum Warriors! Among them, Platinum Warriors were the strongest soldiers of the Iron Armor Lord! ¡°He¡¯s not wasting any time, and has summoned his strongest soldiers.¡± ¡°At this final moment of the competition, the Iron Armor Lord still gave the Plant Lord enough face!¡± At this point in the host¡¯s explanation, a guest suddenly spoke out. ¡°Isn¡¯t it because the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s defense was on the verge of being broken by the Plant Lord that it directly summoned the strongest soldiers?¡± The guest¡¯s words made the host look a little awkward. She had just praised the Iron Armor Lord for being very serious about the final competition, and for directly using his strongest trump card without saying much. In the end, the guest undermined her. In fact, it was just as the guest had said. The reason why the Iron Armor Lord did not waste any time in summoning his strongest troop was because Lin Sen was on the verge of breaking through his defense. The reason for the defense being broken was none other than the Pea Shooters. Pea Shooters have ultra-long-range attacks. Therefore, on the way to Lin Sen, the Iron Armor Lord was bombarded by the Pea Shooters¡¯ fireballs countless times. Even though with his powerful defense, those fireballs could not hurt him, even a clay figurine would still be angry. After being bombarded by the Pea Shooters¡¯ fireballs, he was also anxious. His defense was on the verge of being broken. ¡°Platinum Warrior Legion, attack!¡± Under the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s orders, these Platinum Warriors held shields in their left hand and swords in their right. They were advancing at a steady pace. BOOM! Boom! Boom! Boom! The Pea Shooters¡¯ fireballs continued to bombard. However, the shields of the Platinum Warriors were very strong. They raised their shields and blocked the bombardment of the fireballs! On the ground, the vines rolled! Vines emerged from the ground, trying to disrupt the enemy¡¯s formation. However, the Platinum Warriors reacted in time. They swung the sharp blades in their hands and cut off the vines. In the end, even though Lin Sen had secretly planted the most powerful Nine Leaf Sword Grass, the sword qi still could not break through the shields of the Platinum Warriors! ¡°What should I do?¡± At this moment, Lin Sen¡¯s mind was spinning wildly. The current situation could be considered to be at the end of the line. Even the Nine Leaf Sword Grass could not break through the enemy¡¯s defense. Even though there were the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flowers, the number of enemies that the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flowers could devour was limited. Furthermore, they required the enemy to be in close proximity. What else could he do to defend against the Platinum Warriors? Lin Sen was not the only one who was anxious. Countless spectators outside the arena were also anxious for Lin Sen. Lin Sen had given them too many surprises. However, Lin Sen could not get through this battle no matter what¡­ Chapter 39 - Will Lin Sen Admit Defeat? Chapter 39 Will Lin Sen Admit Defeat? In the arena, the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s army kept pushing forward. Behind Lin Sen was a wall with nowhere to retreat. If this continued, it was only a matter of time before he lost! ¡°Kid, are you still struggling?¡± ¡°Hmph!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll let you know what pain is later!¡± ¡°I want you to watch your plants being harvested one by one¡­¡± At this point, the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s gaze was fixed on the Pea Shooters that were spraying fireballs. It was obvious that the Iron Armor Lord wanted to crush the damned Pea Shooters into ashes! After all, these things really disgusted him! ¡°Say something, kid!¡± ¡°When you sniped me just now, weren¡¯t you quite arrogant?¡± The Iron Armor Lord shouted, venting his dissatisfaction. ¡°If you¡¯re a man, don¡¯t choose to surrender. Come and fight me!¡± The more he thought about it, the more depressed he became. He was afraid that Lin Sen would surrender. If that was the case, how could he take revenge for the grievances he had suffered earlier? Hence, the Iron Armor Lord began to provoke Lin Sen in a vain attempt to infuriate him and make him fight him to the death! However, Lin Sen remained unmoved even after the Iron Armor Lord roared for a long time. He looked very calm. ¡°This kid won¡¯t fall for it!¡± When the Iron Armor Lord realized this, his expression turned solemn. If it were any other opponent, they would probably have been angered by him and rushed over to fight him to the death to prove themselves! However, Lin Sen¡¯s calm appearance made the Iron Armor Lord panic. This scene was also captured by the drone and broadcasted live. The program host stirred up everyone¡¯s emotions. ¡°Dear viewers, will the Plant Lord fall for the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s provocation and fight to the end?¡± ¡°Or should the Plant Lord recognize the current situation and choose to admit defeat?¡± After the host brought up this topic, countless people were analyzing and discussing Lin Sen¡¯s choice. ¡°In my opinion, this Plant Lord will definitely choose to surrender!¡± ¡°Think about it. In any case, he definitely won¡¯t be able to win. It¡¯s only a matter of time before he loses. Why does he have to continue to embarrass himself?¡± ¡°If he chooses to surrender, not only can he avoid humiliation, he can also make the Iron Armor Lord disgusted¡­¡± Someone analyzed that the Iron Armor Lord was disgusted by Lin Sen¡¯s Pea Shooters. Therefore, at this moment, the Iron Armor Lord was holding back his anger. If Lin Sen surrendered, the Iron Armor Lord would not be able to find a place to take revenge. Everything about him would be as useless as punching cotton! ¡°Not necessarily!¡± ¡°He¡¯s Lin Sen. Didn¡¯t we think that he would definitely lose when he was up against the Flame Lord?¡± ¡°Perhaps he can create a miracle this time?¡± Some people also thought that Lin Sen might have some trump cards. On Lin Sen¡¯s side, there was a possibility of a comeback! The outside world was in a heated discussion. At the scene, the Iron Armor Lord was afraid that Lin Sen would surrender. So he roared again. ¡°Kid!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re a man, don¡¯t surrender!¡± ¡°If you¡¯re a man, let¡¯s have a fair and square bet!¡± ¡°Loser gives his most important thing to the winner!¡± In order to trick Lin Sen into not surrendering, the Iron Armor Lord racked his brains. Thinking about it, he finally took this gamble. In the face of huge benefits, Lin Sen would definitely not be able to sit still. Even if he knew that he was not his match, he would still be blinded by benefits and make a huge bet with him! ¡°Hahaha, how can the Plant Lord agree to such a trick to fool children?¡± ¡°The Iron Armor Lord¡¯s actions are too funny. He underestimated the others!¡± ¡°If it¡¯s me, the more Iron Armor Lord acts like this, the more I won¡¯t agree!¡± ¡°Press him to death!¡± The audience expressed their opinions one after another. They did not think that Lin Sen would fall for such an obvious scheme! ¡°This kid has done well enough. After this failure, come back and accumulate more experience. Try to get a better ranking next year!¡± Even on the school¡¯s side, Teacher Ren, Elder Hua, Elder Zhao, and the others thought that Lin Sen¡¯s results would stop here. It was already a miracle that he had won against the Flame Lord. Would there be a second miracle now? Just when everyone thought that Lin Sen would not agree¡­ A strange expression appeared on Lin Sen¡¯s face. ¡°Let¡¯s bet with each other¡¯s most precious item, shall we?¡± ¡°Tell me first, what is your most precious thing?¡± Lin Sen¡¯s strange smile made the Iron Armor Lord feel uneasy. But he would never admit that he was afraid. ¡°Good!¡± ¡°Kid, you have guts!¡± ¡°Come on then!¡± The Iron Armor Lord took out his chips. ¡°If I lose, this [Metal Enhancement] skill will be yours!¡± Metal Enhancement could strengthen all soldiers and increase their defense. The Iron Armor Lord¡¯s Platinum Warrior had strong defense, but it was also because of his skill [Metal Enhancement] that made the Platinum Warrior¡¯s defense stronger. That was why Lin Sen was in despair! On Lin Sen¡¯s side, he also took out his chips. || ¡°If I lose, this S-grade Nine Leaf Sword Grass will be yours! S-grade plant, Nine Leaf Sword Grass?! As soon as Lin Sen said this, the audience exclaimed. They did not expect Lin Sen to have two S-grade plants! He thought that one Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower was enough, but he did not expect there to be a Nine Leaf Sword Grass! ¡°Good!¡± ¡°Kid, I¡¯m definitely taking that thing!¡± The Iron Armor Lord spoke. ¡°Go!¡± Under the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s orders, the Platinum Warriors continued to raise their shields and advance steadily step by step. From Lin Sen¡¯s perspective, it was as if a long iron wall was slowly pressing down on him. It was despairing! But Lin Sen already had a countermeasure! Earlier, he had agreed to the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s bet. It was not a moment of anger. The Nine Leaf Sword Grass was used as a bargaining chip to show his value. Previously, he was afraid that if he had two S-grade plants, it would bring unnecessary trouble. However, now that he had joined the Military Region, with this layer of protection, Lin Sen did not have to hide his plants as carefully as before. Of course, this was only relative. If he took out two, three or four, five S-grade plants, with the protection of the Military Region, nothing would definitely happen. On the contrary, everyone would feel normal. After all, as a genius chosen by the Military Region, how could he not have any trump cards? However, if Lin Sen took out dozens or hundreds of S-grade plants, the Military Region would probably investigate Lin Sen too. Sometimes, by properly displaying his strength and value, he could reduce some unnecessary trouble for himself¡­ It gave Lin Sen the confidence to defeat the Iron Armor Lord. That was what Lin Sen had obtained in the Zombie Garden. ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to what the effect of this thing will be.¡± Lin Sen narrowed his eyes as he looked at the Iron Armor Lord. A strange smile appeared on his face. The more the Iron Armor Lord looked at that smile, the more uneasy he felt. However, he could not figure out where Lin Sen got the confidence to defeat him. Chapter 40 - New Plant [Virus Spore] Chapter 40 New Plant [Virus Spore] Appears Faced with the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s steady advance, Lin Sen¡¯s expression did not change. It was as if he had a plan in mind. Not only could the Iron Armor Lord not figure out what was going on, but even the audience could not figure it out. Countless viewers analyzed all the plant soldiers that Lin Sen was currently using. What did Lin Sen rely on to defeat the Iron Armor Lord? ¡°Could this Plant Lord be relying on the Nine Leaf Sword Grass?¡± Some of the audience guessed that Lin Sen¡¯s final trump card was the Nine Leaf Sword Grass. As an S-grade plant, the Nine Leaf Sword Grass¡¯ attack was extremely strong. Perhaps the Nine Leaf Sword Grass could break through the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s defense? ¡°I think the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower is his last hope!¡± Some of the audience noticed that when the Iron Armor Lord¡¯s Platinum Warriors approached the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree, a Platinum Warrior was swallowed by the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower! ¡°This Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower is really terrifying!¡± ¡°Is this ignoring the defense and swallowing the enemy directly?!¡± Platinum Warriors were covered in thick platinum armor. They looked invulnerable! A Platinum Warrior with such defense could still withstand the sword qi of the Nine Leaf Sword Grass! However, even such a Platinum Warrior with astonishing defense was swallowed by the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower! ¡°But can the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower swallow so many Platinum Warriors?¡± Problems in Lin Sen¡¯s strategy were pointed out. However, at this moment, the host analyzed Lin Sen¡¯s current layout. ¡°I don¡¯t know if the audience has noticed, but Lin Sen has been planning everything since he entered the arena!¡± The host analyzed Lin Sen¡¯s location and the plant combination. Lin Sen could be said to be in a canyon surrounded by mountains. There was only one exit. The only exit was blocked by his 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree! If the enemy wanted to break through, they could only pass through the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree! However, the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree was not an ordinary iron birch tree. It was huge, and the entire tree was like an iron pillar blocking there. ¡°Tear down this tree!¡± The Iron Armor Lord gave the order. The Platinum Warriors took out their swords and tried to cut down the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree. However, their gains were very shallow. At this rate, they might not be able to cut down the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree even after the circle shrank to this point. ¡°If this continues, Lin Sen¡¯s Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower can swallow all the Platinum Warriors one by one!¡± Some of the audience believed that if this continued, Lin Sen would eventually win. This was because all the Platinum Warriors near the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree would be swallowed by the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower. As long as the Platinum Warriors could not break through the defense of the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree, if the Platinum Warriors wanted to rush over, they would inevitably be dragged down by the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree and then defeated by the Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower one by one! ¡°No!¡± ¡°All of you are thinking too simply!¡± ¡°Have you all forgotten the speed of the circle shrinking?¡± Some of the audience acutely realized a problem, and that was the shrinking circle! In order to prevent the participants from finding a corner to hide and not interacting, the people from the military region resorted to shrinking the circle. If this continued, the circle would become smaller and smaller. Sooner or later, one of them would be eliminated! Since Lin Sen could not do anything to the Iron Armor Lord, and the Iron Armor Lord could not do anything either, it was especially important to know where the circle was shrinking! While everyone outside was discussing, in the arena, Lin Sen calmly looked at a plant in his body. That was the plant [Virus Spore] he had obtained in the Zombie Garden Mystic Realm! The Virus Spore looked dark purple and looked like mushrooms. Lin Sen planted this thing behind the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree. This way, he could prevent the Platinum Warriors from attacking the Virus Spore. ¡°10,000-fold amplification ¨C Attack Range!¡± The amplification Lin Sen used on the Virus Spore was the attack range! The current Virus Spore could shoot a straight line of poisonous gas ahead. Enemies who were sprayed by the gas would turn into zombies and attack everything they saw. However, the Iron Armor Lord had many Platinum Warriors under his command. A single Virus Spore could not change the situation. Therefore, after pondering for a long time, between the 10,000-fold amplification in quantity and the 10,000-fold amplification of the attack range, Lin Sen chose the attack range. With a 10,000-fold amplification in quantity, Lin Sen could have 10,000 Virus Spores. If he displayed them, he would definitely be able to deal with the Iron Armor Lord. But that is not conducive to future development. There were too many Virus Spores. It was impossible for every Virus Spore to be protected by a 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree or a Heaven-Swallowing Domineering Flower. It was very easy for many Virus Spores to be killed during a battle. Therefore, Lin Sen decided to take the route of excellence. It allowed the Virus Spores in front of him to have an attack range of 10,000 times. One Virus Spore was equivalent to 10,000 Virus Spores! ¡°Virus Spores, release poison gas! Under Lin Sen¡¯s command, in front of the Virus Spores, in the direction blocked by the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree, endless poisonous gasses spread. The 10,000-fold attack range of the Virus Spores was different from the 10,000-fold attack range of the Pea Shooters. The attack distance of the Pea Shooter was a straight line. Therefore, Pea Shooters could attack enemies 10,000 meters away. The Virus Spores had an attack range. Originally, the Virus Spores were like Pea Shooters. They could only attack enemies in a straight line. However, after the 10,000-fold amplification, this straight line became a 360-degree area-of-effect attack. All the Platinum Warriors near the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree were hit. ¡°Platinum Warriors, what are you waiting for? Attack!¡± When the Iron Armor Lord realized that the Platinum Warriors were on strike, he was stunned. Hence, he berated. However, a few seconds passed, these Platinum Warriors ignored the Iron Armor Lord. ¡°Are you rebelling?¡± The Iron Armor Lord was incomparably furious. He summoned the Gold Warriors and the Silver Warriors. ¡°Attack!¡± Although the Iron Armor Lord did not know what Lin Sen had done, he did not want to give Lin Sen the slightest chance. He planned to summon all his subordinates to rush forward and crush Lin Sen to death! But at this moment, a strange scene happened. The Platinum Warriors near the 10,000-year-old Iron Birch Tree turned around stiffly. The Platinum Warriors stared at the Gold Warriors behind them and suddenly roared. ¡°Roar!!!¡± The Platinum Warriors roared like wild beasts. They raised their swords and slashed at the Gold Warriors behind them. ¡°Are you guys really rebelling???¡± When the Iron Armor Lord saw this, he was furious. His understanding of these warriors was that they must have been hit by a certain skill of Lin Sen. However, at the moment, he really had no way to break this skill. Therefore, the Iron Armor Lord issued an order for the Gold Warriors to retreat and shake off the Platinum Warriors first¡­ However, something happened that made the Iron Armor Lord break down. The Gold Warriors also became robotic. They looked behind them and glared fiercely at the Silver Warriors!
