The place Lin Zhen wanted to donate to was called the Martial Artist Charity

Aid Fund. The representative from the Fund was waiting on-site. Due to Yue Zhenhua’s reneging on his commitment, the Fund’s representative was almost about to leave in a huff.

But to their surprise, Lin Zhen appeared, and in no time struck a deal with them. With a big stroke of the pen, he signed his name.

Thirty billion was immediately transferred. From his appearance to completing the donation, it took Lin Zhen less than five minutes.

As soon as Lin Zhen turned to leave, he was immediately surrounded by reporters.

“Hello Lin Zhen, I am a reporter from the Capital Morning News. Why did you make such a grand gesture?”

“Lin Zhen, you mentioned that you were driven out of Gale Martial Arts Hall, what is the story behind it? Does it have anything to do with the hall owner Yue Zhenhua?”

“It is said that you also came from the God Generals Training Camp, why donate now? Why didn’t you come out on behalf of Gale earlier? Do you have any issues with Gale?”

Lin Zhen stood there and smiled, “I just want to tell everyone a few things. First, I didn’t leave Gale on my own initiative, they didn’t want me. You can find out what I have done for Gale all these years, but what treatment did I get in return

“Second, this donation is purely my personal decision. Martial artists are fighting and putting their lives on the line to defend their country and their families. They cannot go without basic life assurances. I hope these 30 billion can be put to good use…”

“And finally, if I were still at Gale, I wouldn’t have made the donation, because my identity would have constrained me. I don’t want to represent Gale. The actions of the hall owner Yue Zhenhua just now have explained everything, haven’t they?”

With that, Lin Zhen took a few steps out of the crowd and walked straight onto the street, disappearing into the crowd in no time.

As his figure was about to disappear, one of the martial artists on the scene spontaneously applauded Lin Zhen, followed by other martial artists, then the reporters and finally even members of the Capital Gale. This was the behavior of a true martial artist, someone worthy of respect.

When the applause stopped and people looked back, they could no longer find Yue Zhenhua’s figure.

However, this wasn’t a big deal. The reporters expanded on the topic, and there were plenty of stories to write about. They could imagine the excitement on the Internet, television, newspapers, and so on the next day.

Yue Zhenhua simply couldn’t bear to stay on stage any longer. Today’s event was extremely embarrassing, not only for him but also tarnishing the image of Gale Martial Arts Hall.

Back in his room, he slumped into a chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, wondering how things had turned out this way.

“Ding-a-ling!”

The phone rang. Yue Zhenhua picked it up and was shocked to see that the caller was Chen Fenglie.

“Mr. Chen.” The call was a video call, showing Chen Fenglie on the other end.

“Zhenhua, are you trying to bring down Gale Martial Arts Hall?” Chen Fenglie, dressed in a blue casual outfit, sat in a rocking chair.

With just one sentence, a cold sweat broke out on Yue Zhenhua’s back. “No, Mr. Chen, please hear me out. Today’s incident was an accident…”

“No need to say more, Gongsun Du already told me everything. You continually made foolish mistakes for the sake of your useless son, completely losing your rationality. I am very disappointed in you.”

The mere words “I am very disappointed” made Yue Zhenhua realize the seriousness of the situation. Having been with Chen Fenglie for many years, he knew his temperament well; if Chen Fenglie said he was disappointed, it meant he truly was, and it was very likely that he would not give Yue Zhenhua another chance.

Still, Yue Zhenhua wanted to seize the opportunity: “Mr. Chen, it was my mistake this time. I hope you can give me one more chance to make up for my mistake.”

“Zhenhua, you have to remember that as a martial artist, you cannot let your emotions take over. If you had focused on your cultivation and achieved the Star Realm earlier, you wouldn’t have had to worry about losing one son, let alone having hundreds of them. By that time, you will realize that your son’s death was not a bad thing.”

Yue Zhenhua nodded repeatedly, although he didn’t entirely agree with Chen Fenglie’s words. He lacked Chen Fenglie’s talents, and the Pre-Star Realm was likely his limit. Besides, now that Lin Zhen had become a mental burden, without eliminating Lin Zhen, he probably wouldn’t have had another chance to advance to the Star Realm.

Of course, he didn’t dare say such things in front of Chen Fenglie. Facing the number one expert, Yue Zhenhua didn’t have the courage to speak openly.

“This incident has put Gale in a difficult position. I’ve deposited another fifty billion into Gale’s account. This is your chance. You know about the Cape Town incident, right?”

“Yes, Cape Town has fallen.”

“Well, now Hua Xia, the African Union, Brazil, and India have all proposed joining the World War God Alliance. If the other three countries don’t agree, we four will form our own alliance, so the proposal was approved. The War God Martial Artists will hold a War God’s Knockout competition to determine the rankings among the nations in the World War God Alliance. This time, Gale has to uphold our reputation. We must perform well in the War God’s Knockout.”

“Please rest assured, Mr. Chen, Gale will definitely take first place.”

“I also believe in the strength of Gale’s martial artists, but we must not be complacent. The War God’s Knockout is open to War Gods from Level one to

Level nine but not Pre-Star Realm. I originally put you in this position because

I recognized your ability in this area. But you chased away a talent like Lin

Zhen. You really are an idiot…”

Yue Zhenhua wiped the sweat from his forehead: “Mr. Chen, don’t worry, even without Lin Zhen, I promise Gale will still be the most outstanding martial arts hall. ‘

Chen Fenglie didn’t say much. He had initially wanted Yue Zhenhua to invite Lin Zhen back, but on second thought, he wouldn’t do it sincerely, so he just let it be and hung up the phone.

Yue Zhenhua then sat down in embarrassment, having no time to deal with Lin Zhen’s matter for the time being.

After leaving Gale Martial Arts Hall, Lin Zhen immediately went to a nearby merchant.

This merchant specifically catered to martial artists. The area where Gale Martial Arts Hall is located was a special district for martial artists. This merchant sold various things, and Lin Zhen had his eye on a flying ship.

In order to quickly return to Ice City, Lin Zhen needed to have his own flying ship.

Now, flying saucer-type flying ships were gradually entering the market, and some wealthy martial artists were beginning to try to buy them. However, there was one top-of-the-line Black Ghost that few people could afford.

It had a limited national release, with only ten units in total. Each one had a selling price of ten billion yuan, which was quite expensive for a flying ship.

If it were before, Lin Zhen wouldn’t have bought it either. But this time, without any hesitation, he bought a Black Ghost on the spot.

This flying ship had a diameter of about 20 meters, was saucer-shaped, and had an automatic flight control system inside. It was said that it could reach an altitude of 50,000 meters at its maximum, almost beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. Its tenfold supersonic speed made it impossible for any mutated birds to catch up with it, and it had built-in stealth and fogging devices.

The so-called fogging device was a cloud-mist sprayer, masking the ship as a cloud so that it could hover without being detected. Furthermore, the misty scent it emitted could repel mutated birds.

The flying saucer came with a railgun, which could be used to attack other flying machines.

Inside it had a global satellite positioning system that could receive radio stations from any country, and its internet signal would not be hindered by the regional environment.

This flying ship represented the highest level of flying machine technology on Earth at the time. According to Lin Zhen’s knowledge, before the arrival of extraterrestrial civilizations, no flying machine’s performance could surpass it.

What’s more, the space ring that Lin Zhen obtained from Yue Feng could actually hold this flying ship!

The space ring had a larger area than a basketball court, and its volume was even more enormous. It only took up about one-third of the space to accommodate the flying ship, which was incredibly convenient.

After purchasing the vitality elixir worth 40 billion yuan, donating 30 billion yuan, and then buying the Black Ghost for another 10 billion yuan, Lin Zhen had spent over 80 billion yuan in total, and he felt great about it.

Besides the Black Ghost, Lin Zhen also discovered 15 kilograms of liquid metal here, worth a total of six billion yuan, which he purchased without any hesitation.

He only had approximately 35 kilograms of liquid metal in his possession before. Now with this additional 15 kilograms, the total quantity reached to 50 kilograms, which was more than enough for most uses.

With over 50 billion yuan still left, Lin Zhen did not lack money to spend.

After purchasing the Black Ghost, Lin Zhen immediately took off. The built-in system in the flying ship would automatically contact the Base City air defense force and connect to the infrared scanning system.

When Lin Zhen left the capital, the infrared scanner scanned his flying ship, and the military quickly allowed him to pass. As long as the person inside was not a wanted criminal, the military would not obstruct.

From Capital to Ice City, it was a distance of over a thousand kilometers. The Black Ghost could arrive in just over half an hour.

Watching the Capital fade into the distance, Lin Zhen took a deep breath inside the Black Ghost.

Although he had given Yue Zhenhua a resounding slap in the face this time, he had also offended him greatly. After returning to Ice City, his priority would be to find a martial arts hall to join. He didn’t know which ones would accept him.

As for An Ning, Lin Zhen used to like her, and she had been good to him. The secret skill in spiritual power impact she gave him was also from her.

However, how could Lin Zhen remain indifferent to Su Mingyue’s repeated life-risking rescues? He still didn’t know how to explain this to An Ning.

He wasn’t willing to let An Ning go. Lin Zhen never wanted to let down those who were good to him.

But letting go of Su Mingyue was even more impossible. She might seem cold and detached, but actually, she was stubborn at heart. Otherwise, in her past life, she wouldn’t have perished fighting the invaders from outer space the moment they appeared. If Lin Zhen really left her, she might do something reckless.

Thinking this through, he found this to be an intractable problem. So, Lin Zhen decided not to think about it anymore. If he could be reborn once again, but still couldn’t handle two girls, then he’d not be worth living.

He practiced his mental powers for a while in the rest area of the Black Ghost. The scenery on the ground gradually magnified, and Ice City finally appeared in sight.

After three years, Lin Zhen finally returned to this place..
