Chapter 956: Chapter 959 Night at the Bar_1 Chapter 956: Chapter 959 Night at the Bar_1 The people of the Ground Clan don’t pay much attention to the ranking of the Endless Species, they care about Lin Zhen’s ranking.

Lin Zhen is now a celebrity of the Ground Clan, everyone is very concerned about which group he will fall into, but when they see Lin Zhen fall into the fourth group, they can’t help but sigh for him.

The fourth group is undeniably a group of death, Qiong Jing is a given, securing a spot.

To appear here, Lin Zhen must face the three top players, Yama, Red Widow, and the Element Controller.

All three of these people are members of the Endless Species, and Yama is the top player in the second-tier, and although the Red Widow is in the third tier, she also has strength that is not inferior to the second tier.

Even the Element Controller could potentially rise in the rankings this time, it wouldn’t be too surprising if he ended up advancing.

If these three members of the Endless Species can’t target Qiong Jing, they will undoubtedly target Lin Zhen first, every one of them will battle Lin Zhen to the death, aiming to completely eliminate him.

…

Then, the three will fight for the second and third places, one will advance directly, and the other will advance through an additional match for third place.

For Lin Zhen, every battle in this group will be a grueling struggle without any flair, and it will be exceedingly difficult to advance.

After seeing Lin Zhen’s group assignment, the three Endless Species powerhouses in the fourth group all shared meaningful smiles.

There’s something quite satisfying about the prospect of crushing the Ground Clan’s rising star, Lin Zhen, in the group stage.

Among themselves, they’ve already reached a tacit agreement.

Anyone could advance, but Lin Zhen absolutely could not!

After the draw was completed, this long day was finally over.

Everyone in the stadium was a bit weary.

It was time to rest.

Bai Xue announced a temporary halt to the challenges.

Everyone would rest and the finals would start the next day.

After watching the battles for a day, people gradually exited the Dimensional Universe and returned to the real world.

********

In a room within Skyfire Inn, Lin Zhen opened his eyes.

His heart was also filled with excitement.

After today’s intense battles, it was worth it.

He had finally secured a spot among the top ten.

Being in the top ten marked a new level.

The martial artists ranked in the top ten in the Hall of Fame could dominate in the Endless Star Sea.

Apart from a few special players from the enemy species, Lin Zhen virtually had no opponents in the world beneath the deity level.

After calculating his group assignment, Lin Zhen knew he had to advance.

Because only by advancing would he have the chance to compete against Augustine.

Augustine was in the first group.

Aside from Dong Xuehan, who was sure to advance, Augustine and An Luoqi are almost certain to secure the second and third places.

If Lin Zhen doesn’t advance, he might lose directly to Augustine unless Augustine also doesn’t advance.

However, Lin Zhen couldn’t depend on others.

He had to rely on himself.

In this group, Qiong Jing was practically unbeatable.

The remaining three Endless Species members were all strong, so Lin Zhen glanced at them and stopped looking.

Looking would not be helpful anyway.

The situation on the battlefield is unpredictable; what you see now can mislead you.

Instead of looking here, it would be better to go out and walk around, unwind, and celebrate his victory in the first stage.

Leaving the room, Lin Zhen exited the inn.

The night in Skyfire City differed from that on Earth.

Here, as the core area of the Original World, there was a Constant Star that rose and fell, making each day a standard thirty-six hours.

The daytime lasted for eighteen hours, and the night was also eighteen hours.

The long nights provided people with rich nightlife.

Everyone was a martial artist with longevity and an extended lifespan, so enjoying the night was part of a martial artist’s life.

On the streets were brightly lit bars.

Walking on the road, the ground underneath was incredibly solid, capable of withstanding battles of Hall of Fame level without shattering, giving people a solid sense of stability.

Lin Zhen put on a metal mask.

Now, he was a quite well-known celebrity and didn’t want to be recognized on the street and harassed, disrupting his mood.

After a walk, Lin Zhen arrived at Chaos Bar.

The angel and devilish girls at the door didn’t recognize Lin Zhen in his mask, and he didn’t intend to reveal his identity.

He entered amid their courteous greetings.

The bar at night was even more exciting than during the day.

The two major species coexisted inside, clinking glasses, revelling in the festivities.

Lin Zhen walked to the bar, sat at a corner of the large bar counter.

“Waiter, ten glasses of Rainbow After the Rain.”

The waitstaff was taken aback.

There were many rich customers here, but it was rare for someone to order ten Rainbow After the Rain at once.

If Lin Zhen showed his Hall of Fame member identity, these ten drinks would cost twenty million, but he didn’t show his identity, making the total cost thirty million!

The waiter quickly started to prepare Lin Zhen’s drinks, meanwhile advising, “Sir, this Rainbow After the Rain may be good, but it shouldn’t be consumed in large quantities.

Even people with good alcohol tolerance would get drunk from drinking too much of it.”

Lin Zhen laughed, “Can martial artists get drunk?”

“Definitely.

Under normal circumstances, martial artists wouldn’t get drunk, but our Rainbow After the Rain is different.

Its ingredients come from various parts of the Original World.

Although it looks beautiful, getting drunk is the ultimate purpose.

Initially, this drink was called God Intoxication, but its name was later changed to Rainbow After the Rain.”

Lin Zhen didn’t quite believe it, “Even Gods can get drunk?

I don’t believe that.”

“I guess you’ve had drinks here before, sir.

But you probably have only had one glass, right?”

“Right.”

“So, what did it feel like when you had a sip?”

“Slightly tipsy, nothing more than that.”

The waiter laughed, “It’s supposed to make you feel slightly tipsy.

Every Martial Artist knows that Star Power is needed to counteract the effects of alcohol.

The ‘Rainbow After the Rain’ corresponds with Star Power; the more you drink, the more Star Power is needed.

So, for your first glass, if you don’t have a billion Star Power, you’ll get drunk instantly.

Your body won’t be able to resist the alcohol anymore.

For two glasses, you’d need five billion Star Power to resist.”

“Sir, you ordered ten glasses of the ‘Rainbow After the Rain’.

Without forty-five billion Star Power, you’ll pass out from being drunk.

Are you sure you want ten glasses?”

At this point, Lin Zhen became more intrigued, forgetting what it felt like to be drunk.

Seeing that the waiter described it so miraculously, he decided to give it a shot.

“It’s fine, let’s try.”

“What a straightforward guy!”

The waiter laughed heartily, swiftly preparing more drinks for Lin Zhen.

Soon, the first drink was ready.

As the rainbow appeared on the glass, Lin Zhen was drawn in by its beauty.

Picking up the glass and taking a sniff, the rich aroma of the wine filled his nostrils.

“Hm…

indeed an exquisite wine.

Let’s savour it.”

As he was about to chug the drink, he felt a soft touch on his palm.

The smooth touch on his skin sent a shiver down Lin Zhen’s spine.

When he glanced back, he saw a figure that wasn’t there before.

The figure was clad in a white cloak, masking its face.

Long hair falling from the edge of the hood.

It felt familiar to Lin Zhen.

“You’re…!”

His pupils dilated in surprise.

This sudden figure…

it looks like Dong Xuehan!

Glancing down at his hand, he realized his ‘Rainbow After the Rain’ had somehow ended up in her hands.

“Shut up.

Making a fuss won’t do you any good.”

Dong Xuehan replied coldly, before downing the ‘Rainbow After the Rain’ Lin Zhen was holding.

As he tilted her head to drink, Lin Zhen caught a glimpse of the mask covering her face.

Lin Zhen couldn’t help but frown.

Despite Dong Xuehan being the top being amongst the Endless Species, fighting was forbidden in the Chaos Bar; he wasn’t afraid of her lifting a finger against him.

“Hey!

What are you doing?

That’s my drink!”

Dong Xuehan glanced at him, a glowing gaze visible beneath the hood.

She spoke to Lin Zhen in a cold tone, “What’s a mere glass of wine?

This is what you owe me.

You’d be wise not to forget this.

Trust me, without me, the Chaos Bar would be your grave today.

Even gods wouldn’t be able to save you!”

Lin Zhen didn’t doubt Dong Xuehan’s words.

As the top member in the Hall of Fame for both species, she was far too powerful, capable enough to hold her own even against a god.

Just this fact alone placed her above all other beings.

However, Lin Zhen was clueless about how he owed her.

Yet, he never had the habit of questioning; when the time comes, she would surely explain.

At this moment, the cost of a few drinks mattered little to him.

Since she sought his company, Lin Zhen wasn’t worried.

Even if Dong Xuehan acted, at worst, Lin Zhen would get killed and his soul would enter the God Realm, with a chance of revival.

The waiter had completed the preparation of the second and third glasses by this time.

Lin Zhen picked up a glass, poised to taste it, but Dong Xuehan preemptively picked up the third glass and clinked it with Lin Zhen’s.

“Drinking with me is your honour.

Cheers.”

Without waiting for Lin Zhen’s reply, Dong Xuehan downed another glass of ‘Rainbow After the Rain’.

Seeing her guzzling down the drinks, Lin Zhen realized if he didn’t start drinking, she might end up finishing all the glasses on her own.

Hurriedly, Lin Zhen took a gulp from the second glass, the exquisite taste lingering in his mouth.

Dong Xuehan exhaled slightly, “This wine…tastes pretty good.”

Lin Zhen retorted with a cold snicker, “Of course it tastes good.

A glass costs three million, excluding service charge.

Those two sips of yours add up to more than six million.”

“Stingy fellow.

You’re a God-level Alchemist, is six million or even sixty million a significant sum to you?

Just hole up and practice Alchemy for several years, the money you’ll earn is so much that you’ll never be able to finish spending it.

Waiter, give us ten more rounds, these aren’t enough.”

The waiter, dumbfounded by Dong Xuehan’s drinking prowess, sought Lin Zhen’s approval.

Lin Zhen gestured him to make more drinks, not one to fuss over such minor expenses.

“Get some food too, that, that…bring them over.”

Dong Xuehan pointed out, a heap of delicacies were promptly served.

After taking a bite, she shook her head slightly, “Tastes average.”

Turning to face Lin Zhen, she lifted another glass, “Another cheers.
