336: Not afraid of life or death, not afraid of strong enemies (large chapter)

The White Fatty Old Man chuckled, "Don't worry, you don't need to be concerned about the safety of your home planet before the competition results are out."

Lin Yang breathed a complete sigh of relief.

"You only need to focus on your training according to the plan and participate in the competition," the White Fatty Old Man said again.

"Okay, then when do I need to compete?" Lin Yang asked again.

"I will notify you then. Before that, you need to undergo some training."

The White Fatty Old Man looked at Lin Yang.

"Kid, although your luck is good, your body is too weak. To be honest, I don't think highly of you, and I don't even have any hope for you. It's just that Yue You highly recommends you. For her sake, and because you caught the Red Tail Gold Fish, I'm giving you this opportunity."

"Uh..." Lin Yang was a bit unsure how to respond.

The White Fatty Old Man then continued, "But don't worry, even though I don't think highly of you, I will still provide you with all the necessary training resources and things you need to prepare for the competition, without any discount."

"Thank you, Senior," Lin Yang's heart relaxed again.

Although this old man didn't think highly of him, as long as he provided all the necessary things, he might still be able to compete.

The White Fatty Old Man laughed directly, "Kid, if I were you, I would take this opportunity to improve myself. As for rankings, I advise you not to think too much about them. Just make good use of the resources I give you to improve yourself."

"Although I don't know why Yue You thinks so highly of you, she probably has the same idea, wanting to use me to cultivate you. For her sake, I will also spare no effort in cultivating you. As for what level you can reach, that's up to you."

After saying that, without giving Lin Yang a chance to reply, he reached out and grabbed Lin Yang's shoulder, returning to the center of the Lake again.

"Alright, Yue You, you can take him back first. When I'm ready, you can bring him here again," the White Fatty Old Man began to see them off.

The Silver-haired woman shook her head, "No, I don't have that much time to stay with him. You prepare as quickly as possible, and when you're ready, go pick him up yourself."

"What are you going to do? Can't you even wait this long?" The White Fatty Old Man was a bit surprised to hear that.

"Can't tell you," the Silver-haired woman smiled lightly, and reminded again, "I'll take him back first. When you're ready, go pick him up yourself, don't forget!"

"Alright, go on," the White Fatty Old Man impatiently waved his hand.

The Silver-haired woman said no more, grabbed Lin Yang, and with a flash, returned to Blue Star.

To be honest, Lin Yang was a bit envious of such methods.

It was even faster than warp travel.

"You also want to have such an ability, don't you?" The Silver-haired woman suddenly spoke, her eyes fixed on Lin Yang, as if she had seen through his thoughts.

Lin Yang was startled, then nodded, and honestly said, "Yes, this ability is too powerful."

Although he didn't know how far that Lake was from Blue Star, he was certain it was not close.

However, the Silver-haired woman took him there and back in the blink of an eye. Who wouldn't want to have such an ability?

"You will have it in the future. Now, you need to remember a few things."

The Silver-haired woman said very seriously.

"First, I'm leaving soon. After I leave, remember to seize any opportunity to go to Life planets to collect extraordinary characteristic items to accumulate extraordinary activity within your body."

"Second, although Zhu Old Man is trustworthy, do not tell Zhu Old Man that you can absorb any extraordinary characteristic items, at least not yet, and do not show it to him."

"Third, maximize the use of the resources Zhu Old Man gives you to enhance your strength. You can expose your ability to absorb at least three different extraordinary characteristics simultaneously to him, in order to obtain more resources."

"But remember, you can only expose your ability to absorb three different extraordinary characteristics at most. This is the current limit you can display openly."

"Fourth, if you are confident of entering the top ten in the competition, then during the top ten contention, you can appropriately display more talent and strength to gain the favor of the judging panel. This will be of great benefit to you."

"Fifth, before I return, do not accept invitations from any forces or cosmic civilizations. Remember, ANY! But also do not directly offend them. You can phrase your words more tactfully."

"Sixth, if you enter the top ten and I have not yet returned, directly ask Zhu Old Man for a natural extraordinary material as a fusion material for your future promotion to an Extraordinary Warrior. Don't be shy, you deserve it."

"Seventh, and most importantly, if you successfully enter the top ten, even if it's the tenth place, you will receive a qualification to freely choose a reward. And on that list of freely selectable rewards, you must, absolutely must, choose the qualification to enter the Primal Star."

"Eighth... Well, for now, that's all I can think of. For the rest, we'll have to wait until I return. In short, take advantage of this opportunity and do your best to strengthen your body to whatever extent you can."

The Silver-haired woman gave several instructions in a row.

Lin Yang wrote them down one by one, thanked the Silver-haired woman, and then asked curiously, "Senior, it sounds like you are very confident about me entering the top ten of that competition?"

Three of these seven points were about entering the top ten, which made him think.

Hearing this, the Silver-haired woman smiled faintly, "Did Zhu Old Man tell you that he doesn't have much hope for you?"

"Yes," Lin Yang nodded, and relayed some of what the White Fatty Old Man had said to the Silver-haired woman.

The Silver-haired woman listened, smiled, and said faintly, "That old guy's temper is strange, but he does keep his word. He doesn't have hope for you because he doesn't understand you enough. I have hope for you because I believe in Maple's choice, and your luck."

"Uh..." Lin Yang was slightly startled.

"Alright, don't put too much pressure on yourself. Even if you really can't enter the top ten, it doesn't matter. As long as you perform well enough, even if you can't enter the top ten, you can still get the attention of some people, and basically have the ability to protect your home planet."

The Silver-haired woman added.

"Of course, you still have to try your best. If you can enter the top ten, even if it's the tenth place, then even if the news of the Wu Cang Clan is exposed, even if someone wants to seize Cang Miao, they won't likely target your home planet."

"Is that so..." Lin Yang paused, then suddenly asked, "What if the ranking is higher?"

Entering the top ten already sounded so extraordinary. Wouldn't a higher ranking be even more impressive?

"A higher ranking?" The Silver-haired woman laughed directly, "You're quite daring to think that. If you can get tenth place, that would already be a huge dark horse. Although I think highly of you, entering the top ten is basically your limit. As for anything above tenth place, don't even think about it. That's not something you can aspire to at your current level!"

At this point, the Silver-haired woman's tone became more serious and stern:

"Remember, your ultimate goal is to become tenth place! Don't think about anything else. As long as you can become tenth place, not only will you yourself gain many benefits beyond your imagination, but your home and even this universe will benefit with you!"

"Understood," Lin Yang honestly remembered.

The Silver-haired woman nodded in satisfaction, then suddenly broke off half a silver hair from her head and gave it to Lin Yang: "Wrap this strand of hair around your pendant and wear it."

"Ah?" Lin Yang was stunned, somewhat confused.

The Silver-haired woman said no more, but instead looked at him deeply and said, "Little guy, I'm leaving. You must seize this opportunity and not let down Maple's trust and entrustment!"

"I will!" Lin Yang nodded solemnly.

The Silver-haired woman nodded slightly, and her figure began to fade.

"Senior, how long will you be gone this time?"

Before the Silver-haired woman's figure completely disappeared, Lin Yang asked loudly.

"I don't know. Maybe very soon, maybe I won't come back."

The Silver-haired woman smiled slightly, and then her figure completely disappeared.

Lin Yang's heart skipped a beat.

Maybe she won't come back?

What did that mean?

He knew that the Silver-haired woman was definitely going to the Heart of the Extreme Sea to find Maple this time.

Even if Maple was dead, she would definitely want to see the body.

But won't come back??

"Could it be that she's going to seek revenge on Chu Country?" Lin Yang was a little worried.

He still remembered that he had asked the Silver-haired woman if she was a match for Chu Country.

The answer was no.

Now she said this, which made him think.

"She shouldn't be that impulsive, right?"

Lin Yang frowned tightly.

Among the seven things the Silver-haired woman had just instructed him about, she also said that some decisions had to wait until her return.

But now she was saying this, which made him a little nervous.

Suddenly, the Silver-haired woman's voice echoed in his ears again.

"Oh, and if I don't return before the competition ends, you should discard that half-strand of hair after the competition to avoid trouble."

"Also, if you enter the top ten and Zhu Old Man wants to officially take you as his disciple, you can seriously consider it, or even directly agree to him."

"And if you become his disciple, you can find a suitable time after becoming his disciple to reveal to him that you can absorb all Extraordinary characteristics."

"Before that, even if you are forced to a dead end during the competition, or even if you are just a hair's breadth away from entering the top ten, you must not expose that you possess more than three Extraordinary characteristics, otherwise you will die without a burial place!"

"Remember!"

Lin Yang's heart trembled, and regardless of whether the Silver-haired woman could still hear him, he solemnly said in the direction where her figure had just disappeared, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior, I will keep it in mind!"

After speaking, he bowed directly!

He only stood up after a long time.

The Silver-haired woman had helped him so much just because of Maple.

Moreover, before she left, she meticulously arranged his future, and Lin Yang was immensely grateful.

After a long while, Lin Yang walked out of the Apocalypse.

At home, Zhang Fang was completely relieved to see that he had indeed only been out for half a day this time before returning.

"Son, there's nothing else that will make you disappear for a year or half a year, right?" Zhang Fang teased.

"Uh... Mom, I really can't guarantee that..." Lin Yang was a little embarrassed.

He still knew nothing about the specific information of that competition.

But it would most likely take him far away from the Galaxy, or even further.

"Ah? Is there anything else?" Zhang Fang was stunned.

"Mom, if I told you I was going to save the world, or even the universe, would you believe me?" Lin Yang said in a joking tone.

Zhang Fang didn't speak, but stared at him for a long time before nodding seriously, "Mom believes you!"

"Ah? You believe that?" Lin Yang was surprised.

"Mom believes you, besides, didn't my precious son already save the world once?"

Zhang Fang smiled, looking at Lin Yang, and said word by word:

"If you really need to save the world, then promise Mom, no matter when, you must protect yourself and take good care of yourself. Mom doesn't care if the world perishes, but if it requires sacrificing you to save it, then Mom would rather the world perish."

"Mom!" Lin Yang's heart choked, and he couldn't speak for a long time. After a long while, he forced a smile and said:

"Mom, don't worry, no matter when, I will always prioritize my own safety!"

"When are you leaving?" Zhang Fang asked calmly.

"I can't say for sure right now, it could be any time, or it might be a while," Lin Yang said in a muffled voice, "but I need to go to the Imperial Capital now, there are some things I need to discuss with the higher-ups."

"Go ahead, Mom will wait for you to come back for dinner." Zhang Fang kept smiling.

"Okay!"

Lin Yang hurriedly responded, a little afraid to look into Zhang Fang's eyes, and quickly had the Apocalypse carry him to the Imperial Capital.

He knew that his mother seemed calm on the surface, but she must be extremely worried in her heart, she just didn't want to show it to put psychological pressure on him.

He also knew that his mother understood that he was no longer an ordinary person, and some things could not be backed down from, so she didn't say anything to stop him, but she must be feeling bad... Imperial Capital, Great Science Academy.

Zhao Zizhen had received Lin Yang's advance notice and had already informed all relevant personnel to start an online meeting.

As soon as Lin Yang arrived, the meeting officially began.

"Dean Zhao, Elder Ye, and everyone, there's something I think I need to tell everyone first, please be mentally prepared." Lin Yang went straight to the point.

As soon as he spoke, Zhao Zizhen and the others immediately became nervous: "Lin, what is it that makes you so serious?"

Lin Yang paused, then said, "Although I returned in time to deal with those alien warships with the help of a senior, the civilization behind them is at least a peak Level 5 civilization, and they could descend again at any time. And that senior has left due to some matters, so everything can only rely on ourselves."

"What, a peak Level 5 civilization??"

Zhao Zizhen and the others were startled again.

"That's right, the last warships were only because our Blue Star was too weak, and they were too lazy to send truly powerful warships," Lin Yang confirmed.

"Then... Lin, do you have the confidence to deal with a fleet of warships from a peak Level 5 civilization now?" Ye Guhong asked in a deep voice.

"No!" Lin Yang shook his head directly.

This made everyone fall silent.

Even Lin Yang had no confidence in dealing with the warships of a peak Level 5 civilization, so with Blue Star's current strength, wouldn't it just be a matter of dying?

"Everyone doesn't need to be too nervous. Although I don't have the confidence to deal with them, that senior introduced another senior to me before he left. I passed that senior's test, and he promised to temporarily protect the safety of Blue Star and the Solar System. However, I still need to complete another task for him, otherwise he won't protect Blue Star long-term."

Lin Yang spoke, making everyone's spirits rise again.

"That's great, Lin, having you is truly a blessing for the entire Blue Star!" Yuan Zhihe couldn't help but exclaim.

Zhao Zizhen, however, frowned and asked with concern, "Lin, what does that senior need you to help him accomplish? Is it dangerous?"

"He needs me to participate in a competition and achieve a top ten ranking. I still know nothing about the specific competition, but it's probably not that easy to complete."

Lin Yang briefly explained.

"Of course, that's not the point. The point is, I might need to leave again, and the duration of this departure is also unknown."

"I will prepare some technologies to leave behind. Until the competition ends, that senior will continue to protect Blue Star. This is a great opportunity for us to develop rapidly, without having to worry about any enemy invasions."

"I hope that after the competition ends, our Blue Star can enter a Level 2 civilization. That way, we will at least have a certain ability to escape and the initial qualifications to survive in the universe!"

Zhao Zizhen and the others' expressions instantly became extremely solemn.

Lin Yang's words made them all feel some pressure.

They all understood that from this moment on, Blue Star would no longer be a collection of independent entities, but would become one, and everyone's destinies would be tied together.

After a moment of silence, Ye Guhong's gaze swept over everyone, and he solemnly said to Lin Yang:

"Lin, is there anything we can help with? If so, please be sure to tell us. Blue Star is our common home, and we cannot let you exert effort and be in danger alone! Although we may not be able to help much, please allow us to take on the small tasks!"

"Yes, Lin, saving Blue Star is also our responsibility and obligation, please allow us to face it with you!"

"Even if the enemy is strong, we can build a wall of flesh and blood for you with our own bodies!"

The others spoke one after another, their words firm and resounding.

Lin Yang took a deep breath, his heart stirring.

This was the Cohesion of the soul of the Shangxia nation for thousands of years!

Never afraid of death!

And,

Not afraid of powerful enemies!!
