Translator: 549690339

Lin Zhen let Zhao Liang and his friends in, and upon hearing his friends had arrived, his parents immediately made a couple more dishes.

As Zhao Liang and his friends entered, they first greeted Lin Zhen’s parents and then they all went to the study together.

Upon entering the study, Shi Lei angrily said, “Tong Yuehu, that bastard, really drove Lin Zhen out! I knew this guy was up to no good from the start.”

Lin Zhen looked at the three of them, and after three years had passed, they still hadn’t reached the War God Realm. Shi Lei and Zhao Liang were Level Nine Martial Generals, while Gao Yan was a Level Eight War General, and none of them had condensed their Dantian energy.

The once skilled fighters had been far surpassed by Lin Zhen.

Gao Yan continued, “I think Lin Zhen is doing pretty well without Gale. Lin Zhen, your donation in the capital today was really cool. Many martial artists have started to support you online now. Yue Zhenhua has completely lost face this time, and many people are saying that Gale is no good.”

Lin Zhen nodded, “I hope this incident won’t affect you guys.”

Zhao Liang waved his hand, “Brother Lin, we’ve known each other for several years, let’s skip the pleasantries. We’re not even War Gods, so we won’t be affected at all. The ones affected are the higher-ups. You don’t know, right after your donation, Tong Yuehu immediately organized a meeting of War Gods. It seems they’re going to compete in the God General Competition with all their might.”

At this point, Lin Zhen asked, “How is the God General Competition being held? Have any rules been established?”

“It seems it’s almost finalized. I heard there are two stages: the preliminaries and the knockout rounds. They’re using virtual technology. As long as there is a recommendation from the martial arts halls, churches, military, or Base City, any War God can sign up. Each participating War God will receive a virtual helmet, which will connect them to the virtual world via their brainwaves, where they’ll fight.”

“That’s right, I’ve also heard that they’re using virtual technology. Moreover, this technology is connected to the entire world. Not only will we be able to see Hua Xia’s War Gods, but we can also see War God-Level experts from around the world. Unfortunately, we’ll have no chance to participate.” Gao Yan laughed.

“Yes, this War God’s Knockout is co-hosted by the Seven Countries, not only determining the rankings of each country in the World War God Alliance but also offering generous rewards to outstanding War Gods.”

“What rewards?”

“I heard it’s Star Artifact rewards. There are quite a few ways to receive them. It seems that just by qualifying in the preliminaries, you can get rewards. The higher your rank in the knockout rounds, the more rewards you get. The specifics will be known at that time.”

Hearing about the Star Artifact rewards, Lin Zhen’s eyes lit up immediately.

The higher the ranking, the more Star Artifacts were rewarded. He had to participate in this War God’s Knockout since he needed them to repair the Star-gazing Mirror.

Zhao Liang continued, “Lin Zhen, without a martial arts hall’s recommendation, you can’t participate in the War God’s Knockout. You must find another martial arts hall immediately. The deadline for registration is only in three days. If you don’t sign up, it would be a pity.”

Lin Zhen shook his head, “It’s not easy to find a martial arts hall. Gale kicked me out, and ordinary martial arts halls wouldn’t dare take me in. Maybe Changfeng and Dragon Slayer would dare, but both of these martial arts halls bear a grudge against me. They wouldn’t waste the chance to step on me while I’m down, so they wouldn’t accept me.”

“As for the military, government, and church, they must recommend their own people. I haven’t enlisted nor am I involved in politics, and I’m not clergy. I’m unqualified and it’s just not possible.”

Zhao Liang and the others were silent, as they really couldn’t be of much help in this situation.

In the end, Shi Lei thought for a moment and said, “Lin Zhen, I think there’s one martial arts hall that might accept you, but it depends on whether or not you’re willing to go.” “Which one?” Lin Zhen asked.

“Blue Sky!”

After Shi Lei spoke, Zhao Liang was stunned, “Blue Sky? The one currently ranked tenth? That won’t work. The martial arts hall has a bad reputation, and although it has calmed down in the past two years, that hall still has a grudge against Lin Zhen. How could they accept him?”

Shi Lei shook his head, “You’re wrong. Blue Sky is very likely to accept Lin Zhen. Apart from Yang Jianying, they don’t have any other War God -Level experts. In Ice City, they’re barely hanging on. They’ve given up on themselves and no one is joining them, even though they’re recruiting War Gods everywhere. If Lin Zhen went there, it might be their salvation. I believe Yang Jianying wouldn’t hold a grudge over past events, as after all, he also wants the martial arts hall to develop well. I think their recruitment of Russian fighters is understandable.”

Zhao Liang looked at Lin Zhen, “Brother Lin, what do you think?”

Lin Zhen thought for a moment and nodded, “Why not? Anyway, it doesn’t matter which martial arts hall I go to, I just need to participate.”

“Alright, since you agree, I’ll help you make some arrangements.” Shi Lei patted his chest confidently.

At this time, dinner downstairs was ready. Lin Zhen invited his old friends to drink together. Shi Lei and the others didn’t come empty-handed, bringing plenty of delicious food and drinks. Everyone had an enjoyable meal together with Lin Liye.

During the meal, Lin Zhen mentioned that he might need to move out because he was no longer with Gale and the villa would be reclaimed in a few days, so he needed to find a new place.

Zhao Liang immediately told Lin Zhen that there were many vacant villas in Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, and if Lin Zhen’s matter was settled, he could move there.

After the meal, Zhao Liang and his companions took their leave. Lin Zhen returned to the living room and took out the vitality potions for his parents.

“Dad and Mom, drink these two potions, and then I’ll help you recuperate in the next few days. It will make you many years younger and you may even be able to start learning martial arts.”

Lin Liye and Li Qin looked incredulously at the vitality potions, unable to believe that such miraculous things existed in the world.

In this era, almost everyone had a martial arts dream, but they simply didn’t have the means, and could only lead ordinary lives. They thought that was it for their lives, only to have their son tell them they could still learn martial arts and even become Martial Artists when they were older, which surprised them.

Li Qin hesitated, “Can we do it? I did want to learn martial arts when I was young, but now I’m already this old…”.

“Mom, don’t worry. This potion can restore the vitality of human cells. After you drink it, you won’t become a genius, but I guarantee that it will keep you young for a long time. However, you have to work hard. From now on, you can’t play Mahjong or stroll around. You have to train properly.”

Lin Zhen was right. Even if Lin Liye and Li Qin had his support, and resources weren’t something they needed to worry about, the process of progressing from a Warrior to a War General still required great effort.

Seeing Li Qin still hesitating, Lin Liye grabbed a bottle of the vitality potion. “What are you hesitating for? Don’t you want to live a few more years? Not to mention, when our son gets married and has children, you won’t even be able to take care of them. I want to accompany my grandchildren and great-grandchildren for a few more years. For that, even if this potion is poison, I’ll still drink it.”

After saying this, Lin Liye drank the vitality potion in one gulp.

Hearing this, Li Qin’s eyes also immediately became determined. “That’s right. My future daughter-in-law is so pretty. If I go shopping with her, I’ll look like an old woman compared to her. As a mother-in-law, I can’t be too far behind. Isn’t it just cultivation? For my daughter-in-law and grandchildren, I’ll take the risk.”

Li Qin also drank the vitality potion in one gulp.

Hearing the reasons why his parents wanted to learn martial arts, Lin Zhen couldn’t help but laugh and cry. If it weren’t for Su Mingyue, they probably wouldn’t even want to drink the potions. But this was good too—it would at least strengthen their resolve to practice martial arts. They didn’t need to achieve great heights; just reaching a realm where they could extend their lives would be enough.

After taking the vitality potions, Lin Liye and Li Qin’s bodies began to change. As they aged, their bodily functions declined, and their cells weakened. Now, with the potions’ power injected into them, they started to regain their vitality. This process needed guidance, so Lin Zhen closed the door and focused on taking care of his parents, not entertaining any visitors.

Cell recovery was a painful process. Lin Zhen initially thought his parents might not be able to withstand it, but every time they were about to give up, they reminded themselves of their future daughter-in-law and grandchildren, and miraculously persisted through the process.

For two whole days, Lin Zhen did not leave the house and devoted himself to taking care of his parents. Two days later, the effects of the vitality potions were completely absorbed, and his parents were completely transformed.

Lin Liye’s back straightened and his hair turned black, while Li Qin’s cold leg ailment was cured and her wrinkles disappeared, making her look almost 20 years younger. Anyone who saw her would believe she was not even 30 years old.

Lin Zhen smiled and looked at his father. “Dad, see how young and handsome you are now? If we go out together and say you’re my brother, people would believe it.”

“You stinker, are you asking for a beating?” Although Lin Liye said this, he couldn’t help but admire himself in the mirror. He had never felt better. He felt full of strength from head to toe and was eager to learn martial arts.

Li Qin changed into new clothes and squeezed in front of the mirror. “It’s like a dream come true. It feels like I’ve gone back to my 20s before I got married. Do you think I’m pretty, old man?”

“Beautiful, like a fairy! ” Lin Liye shamelessly flattered her.

Actually, both Li Qin and Lin Liye were good-looking, which was why Lin Zhen was so handsome. Now that they were young again, both were considered to be above-average in terms of appearance.

Li Qin swayed her body. “I don’t dare to claim the title of fairy, only my future daughter-in-law has that privilege. But if we compare ourselves to people we know, I have the confidence to beat them. What do you think? Should we go out and see if anyone recognizes us?”

Lin Liye was also tempted. The old couple ended up excitedly going out to stroll around.

Lin Zhen did not dampen their spirits, knowing that they would be eager to practice martial arts once their excitement faded.

Not long after the old couple left, Shi Lei called to say that he had contacted the master of Blue Sky Martial Arts Hall, Yang Jianying, and that he had agreed to let Lin Zhen join Blue Sky. He would also recommend Lin Zhen to participate in the God General Competition under the name of Ice City Base City’s Tenth Martial Arts Hall..
