Chapter 836: Chapter 839: Dream of the Fox Spirit (Third Update)_1

Such a situation instantly put Lin Zhen on alert. As a martial artist, unless in a battle where his strength was excessively exhausted, he shouldn’t experience fatigue like ordinary people.

With unstoppable physical capabilities and no fatigue, how could he possibly feel tired?

There must be something wrong here!

As Lin Zhen extended his hand, a rejuvenating elixir appeared, which he instantly swallowed.

Both his strength and spiritual power were boosted by the elixir, relieving his fatigue for the time being.

Sitting on the bed, Lin Zhen was certain that something about this arena was off.

What benefits could they glean from making him fall asleep?

Lin Zhen immediately thought of White Tiger Hall. They were the only ones capable of opposing him. Flashes of past scenes quickly crossed his mind, he vaguely remembered spotting the White Tiger emblem at a certain corner.

“By making me sleep, I wouldn’t be able to practice. Are these people trying to make me lose in the arena or never achieve one hundred victories? In the end, I’d be forced to seek their help.”

Lin Zhen quickly deduced the truth of the matter. However, although he had guesses, he had no immediate solution.

Moreover, after the rejuvenating elixir effect subsided, the feeling of fatigue besieged him once again.

“I’ll sleep first, and see if things are as I suspect. I can’t keep relying on this elixir.”

Lin Zhen laid Xiaogua beside him, gave it a piece of meat, then fell heavily onto the bed.

*********

In a corner, a hidden camera appeared from a sudden hole in the wall, capturing the scene of Lin Zhen’s deep slumber, then disappeared.

“Target analysis underway… Breath frequency… Slow. Heartbeat rhythm… Slow. Skin temperature analysis… Subcutaneous blood circulation analysis… Cell activity analysis… Brainwave analysis…”

A series of measurements yielded accurate data, confirming that Lin Zhen had fallen into deep sleep.

“Brother Sanhu, it’s working! Lin Zhen tried to resist with an elixir, but its effects wore off and he eventually fell asleep.”

“Hehe, very normal. A saint-level alchemist wouldn’t give up without a fight. But struggling is futile. If we didn’t have these tricks up our sleeves, how would we survive in Tianfang City?”

San Hu stretched languidly, “Alright, I’m going to rest. After a day, schedule Lin Zhen’s first duel. He’s at the Longevity Stage, pit him against someone at the Three Flowers Stage. Remember to tell his opponent not to kill him.”

“Understood, Brother Sanhu.”

The man observing the analytical tool agreed, then opened his mouth, finding the situation odd.

According to Lin Zhen’s brainwave activity, it was ascertained that he was dreaming.

This phenomenon was very rare. People drugged into slumber typically enter a deep sleep with no occurrence of dreaming. This Lin Zhen was truly strange.

However, he didn’t report this to San Hu, considering sleep and dreams as very normal processes. If he mentioned it to San Hu, he might earn himself a scolding for being oversensitive.

*******

Before Lin Zhen’s eyes was a picturesque hill.

Verdant and lush, with a pleasant view, Lin Zhen walked on a small path between the hills. He was surrounded by clouds and mists, creating an ethereal setting.

Proceeding slowly along the mountain path, he saw a pile of stones in the distance.

Suddenly, a tinkling laughter echoed from behind the pile of stones.

“Hehe! Xiaohong, come catch me!”

“You better not run! See what happens when I catch you!”

The sound of several girls and their footsteps reached his ears. Then the scenery before his eyes changed. A group of enchanting, seductive women appeared.

“Where are you from, intruding into Qingqiu Mountain like this?” A girl in green extended her finger to inquire Lin Zhen.

“Qingqiu Mountain? Is this Qingqiu Mountain?” Lin Zhen felt bewildered, as if he had heard that name somewhere.

“Hmph! You simpleton. I’ll report you to the lady!”

The scene changed again, slowly a silhouette of a woman in white emerged from the mist.

This woman was tall, with hair like thick clouds and a skin as pure as ice. Her large, sparkling eyes were particularly striking on her petite face.

Dressed in white, each and every action she took exuded elegance and grace. This radiant woman approached Lin Zhen and suddenly said, “Where did this dork come from?”

Lin Zhen was surprised. A dork?

The woman in white suddenly laughed, her smile enchanting like a blooming flower. Her beautiful eyes curled, resembling a crescent moon in the sky.

“Hey, why are you standing here looking dazed? Come and play.”

Lin Zhen felt like he recognized this woman. She seemed to resemble the person on the coin but appeared much younger and even more beautiful.

At that moment, Lin Zhen was having trouble distinguishing between dream and reality.

Seeing that Lin Zhen wasn’t moving, the beautiful woman in white frowned, “You, came to Qingqiu Mountain yet didn’t pay due respects. For that, I’ll let you experience the divine pressure of Qingqiu Mountain!”

All of a sudden, the sky stirred up, and a giant Nine-tailed Sky Fox materialized.

The Sky Fox’s eyes enlarged and swiftly approached Lin Zhen as if it was ready to devour him!

This wasn’t an illusion. Lin Zhen truly felt a threat to his life.

The only thing he could do at this moment was to circulate the Star Power in his place to resist, so as to avoid being devoured by the Nine-Tailed Fox.

Star power bubbled all over his body, staunchly resisting the divine pressure from the opponent!

The two forces fiercely clashed in the air, Lin Zhen’s Star Power of 130 million was quickly consumed at that moment.

“So strong…this…this must be divine power, God is attacking me!”

The Star Power of Lin Zhen was like the water leaking from a water tank, consumed to nothingness in less than a minute’s time.

But Lin Zhen would never give up so easily. After consuming his main body’s Star Power, his clone immediately relayed, resisting with the 180 million Star Power from the clone.

Meanwhile, his main body swiftly cultivated while seizing the opportunity, replenishing any slight bit of Star Power he could, delaying for a little longer which might mean surviving.

The Star Power of the clone held up for just about a minute, once again consumed to nothingness, the little Star Power Lin Zhen’s main body had just recovered was once again put to the test!

It was not even ten seconds, yet the main body was once again exhausted, the clone was rotated back in!

Five seconds later, back to the main body!

Two seconds later, back to the clone!

The main body only had time for a single breath before it had to decisively face this terrifying divine pressure again.

“Woof~!”

The Nine-Tailed Fox opened its mouth wide and pounced, unstoppable!

Just when he thought he was going to be eaten by the Nine-Tailed Fox, he suddenly sat upright in his bed.

“Huff Huff Huff~~!!”

Lin Zhen wiped his forehead, only to realize that he was completely damp from sweat.

“It was a dream…I was actually dreaming?”

Lin Zhen stood up from the bed, but he felt a sense of weakness in his Dantian, through his Spiritual Power, he was horrified to find that his original full Dantian was completely empty!

This only happens when the Dantian has been frequently emptied, and the Star Power consumption is extremely huge.

Looking at this situation, Lin Zhen stood up in surprise.

He looked around the room, the darkness had no effect on his vision, but everything was exactly as it was in the room, no changes at all. Even Lin Zhen did not sense any danger.

“What’s going on? I dreamt I was on Qingqiu Mountain, where is Qingqiu Mountain? It seems to be an important place in the Endless Star Sea, the home of the fox spirit on the coin.”

“I dreamt of the Nine-Tailed Fox on Qingqiu Mountain and fought against it, causing great consumption of my Star Power. But when I woke up, my Star Power was really gone.”

Lin Zhen closed his eyes and checked his Dantian, and suddenly he made another discovery.

It was the residual effects from the elixirs that he had consumed, they were completely gone after the complete consumption of his Star Power!

This discovery made Lin Zhen overjoyed!

You must know that Lin Zhen’s cultivation is different from others, he does not need years of meditation, as long as the side effects of the medicinal power are completely gone, he can proceed to the next round of devouring to progress.

He has not been at Longevity Level 7 for too long, just over two months, and under normal circumstances, it would take at least two to three years to reach Level Eight.

But just last night, the medicinal effects were all gone, he could level up again!

Not thinking about anything else for the time being, Lin Zhen directly took out an elixir and swallowed it down.

Under the effect of Black Hole Power, the medicinal effects of these elixirs were quickly dissolved, the barrier that restricted his progress was broken, and Lin Zhen’s realm stepped up!

From Longevity Level 7 to Level 8, Star Power increased from 130 million to 135 million!

Although it was just a minor improvement, it held significant importance for Lin Zhen, as long as he could repeat this once again, he could reach Longevity Level 9 and prepare to make a breakthrough towards the Three Flowers Realm.

Don’t look at the abundance of experts in Tianfang City, but once Lin Zhen stabilizes in the Three Flowers Realm, there will be very few people who can threaten him!

After meditating in place for a bit, and thoroughly settling at Longevity Level 8, Lin Zhen opened his eyes.

The entire night had passed, it was already the next morning.

Lin Zhen’s gaze fell on Xiaogua at the edge of the bed.

The little fox had lain down at some point, looking at him with a pair of large obsidian-like eyes.

Unknowingly, Lin Zhen thought of the fox spirit from last night.

It could be said that last night’s dream brought Lin Zhen a lot of benefits, now he had a better impression of the little fox.

He picked up the little fox: “Xiaogua, come give a kiss!”

The little fox waved its small paws in resistance, but it was too weak, unable to resist Lin Zhen’s force, it was vigorously kissed a few times and tormented for a while.

Just then, the guards outside the door walked over: “Lin Zhen, get ready, your first fight is about to begin.”

Lin Zhen stood up, tucking the little fox into his arms.

Looking at the little fox’s white fur, he thought of the fox spirit from last night with her snowy skin once again.

The fox spirit’s pointed chin, and the large eyes that were like a crescent moon when she smiled, indeed bore some resemblance to the little fox.
