7: Kill the big snake

Inside a VIP ward at Su City Central Hospital.

Qin Yu lay on the hospital bed.

His hands were wrapped in thick bandages.

Looking at the tall figure standing by the window, Qin Yu cried out:

"Dad, you have to avenge me! That bastard Lin Chen crippled my hands, now I can't take the martial arts exam!"

"Avenge? How can I avenge you?!"

"Lin Chen just took first place in the school's mock test; he's already a key person of interest for the school."

Qin Jun said without turning his head.

"But I hate him, that bastard!" Qin Yu said, his eyes bloodshot.

"Useless thing!" Qin Jun suddenly turned around and shouted.

Qin Yu flinched, lowered his head, and remained silent, clearly afraid of Qin Jun.

"I have a way to heal your hands."

"I will apply to the captain for the exotic fruit we obtained from the Other World this time. If you eat this exotic fruit, your injuries will recover."

"At the same time, your cultivation realm will also improve. For now, you will train honestly at home!"

"Dad, really? An exotic fruit!" Qin Yu was extremely excited to hear about the exotic fruit.

exotic fruit, these Heaven And Earth Treasure, possess all sorts of incredible effects.

"Useless thing, look at your ambition."

"This exotic fruit is an internal transaction within our team, so it will be much cheaper, but it will still cost at least ten million federal currency!"

"As for Lin Chen, his talent is too strong; he must be nipped in the bud."

"He will eventually leave the school's protection."

Qin Jun said, his eyes gleaming with coldness.

"Dad, I won't let you down," Qin Yu said with an evil glint in his eyes, a surge of brutality growing within him.

...

Lin Chen stopped practicing the Slashing Wave Saber Art once the panel showed 'Beginner' for it.

Looking at the bank card in his hand, "I should find a place to stay first."

Lin Chen arrived at Jingxiu Community.

This community was Su City's high-end, secure residential area.

The community had warrior-level security patrols.

This was primarily where the families of martial artists resided.

Martial artists ventured out to fight and take risks, so they naturally hoped their families would be safe.

The houses were a cluster of small villas.

The villas were fully equipped.

Each villa was designed with an underground training room.

Lin Chen chose a villa on the edge.

He paid a month's rent upfront, nearly 100,000 federal currency, and it was gone.

That night, Lin Chen lay in bed, looking at the panel information.

Currently, the most important thing was to continue acquiring energy points.

His biggest advantage was his ability to absorb and convert energy, using energy points to improve himself.

Lin Chen now had two paths to obtain a large number of energy points.

The first was to continue adventuring in his dreams.

As his strength increased, he could also try hunting alien beasts.

The second was to find a way to bring things from the Other World to Blue Star to sell them, obtaining federal currency.

He could then buy resources to improve himself.

In both dream experiences, he had eaten exotic fruit.

He wondered if he could bring things out of the Other World.

If so, he could bring exotic fruit to Blue Star.

exotic fruit on Blue Star were extremely rare; occasionally, one would appear on the market and sell for a sky-high price!

Every exotic fruit had astonishing effects.

Some could help people break through realms, others could prolong life, regenerate severed limbs, and so on... In this world, humans practiced martial arts.

Thus, their lifespans greatly increased.

Martial Apprentice realm theoretically allowed one to live to 120 years old, Martial Warrior to 180 years old.

Martial Artists to 300 years old, and Martial Masters could even exceed 500 years of lifespan!

Those supreme powerhouses of the Federation had lived from the Dark Ages until now!

Looking at the E-grade long saber on the bedside table, Lin Chen held it in his hand and fell into a deep sleep.

Whoosh~

Familiar surroundings.

He was back again!

The blood moon in the sky was extremely eerie.

A faint, dark red moonlight illuminated the entire world.

Huh!

Lin Chen looked at the E-grade long saber in his hand, extremely excited.

He really could bring it over!

He casually swung the long saber.

Lin Chen slowly walked towards the glowing spot ahead.

With his current 6000KG of strength, he wondered if he could try to fight that giant snake!

Suddenly!

Fierce sounds of battle came from ahead.

Lin Chen cautiously approached.

He saw two behemoths fiercely tearing at each other.

"It's that big snake!"

He saw a gray giant snake, over ten meters long, entangled in battle with an equally huge centipede.

Most of the centipede's carapace had been torn off by the giant snake's bites.

The giant snake was not in good shape either.

There were shocking wounds all over its body.

Boom!

Suddenly!

The giant snake spat out red mist, and the centipede also sprayed black venom.

Both behemoths were affected by each other's poisons.

Their movements slowed, and their auras grew weaker and weaker.

Lin Chen's eyes lit up, wanting to wait for them to both be heavily injured before going in for the kill.

Sure enough.

About half an hour later, the giant centipede collapsed powerlessly.

The big snake bit off the centipede's head.

It then lay there, on its last breath.

Lin Chen drew his long saber and slowly approached the big snake.

"You ate me twice; now I'll send you on your final journey."

Lin Chen finished speaking and unleashed a saber strike.

Whoosh!

The air was cut open.

A white saber energy struck the giant snake's neck, drawing a large amount of blood.

Hiss~

The giant snake saw Lin Chen and hissed in furious rage!

It was this ant again!

This ant had stolen and eaten so many of its exotic fruit.

It had clearly swallowed him, but he always reappeared completely unharmed.

The giant snake wanted to retaliate.

But its body was too weak to move, and it could only let Lin Chen attack.

Bang!

Finally, Lin Chen chopped off the snake's head with a single strike!

The huge snake head landed with a loud thud.

Lin Chen let out a long breath~

This giant snake's strength should have surpassed the Martial Artist realm!

Its body was exceptionally tough.

He had to continuously hack for 10 minutes before he could cut off its head.

"What is that?"

He saw a red glowing pearl inside the severed snake head.

Lin Chen used his saber to pick it out, wiped it clean, and held it in his hand.

The red pearl continuously emitted a faint red glow.

A warm sensation spread to his palm.

"This couldn't be an alien beast life core, could it?"

In the Blue Star Human Alliance, as long as one reached the Martial Artist realm, they could join an adventurer team to explore the Other World.

The most common thing adventurer teams obtained was the alien beast life core.

Photos of alien beast life cores often circulated online.

Lin Chen was extremely excited.

He wondered what effect eating this life core would have~

He cut open the giant centipede's head and, sure enough, also found a black life core.

Looking at the two life cores in his hand, Lin Chen hesitated for a moment but still put them away.

These two life cores must be very valuable!

Looking at the two massive corpses, Lin Chen's expression suddenly changed.

He came to the centipede's corpse.

Absorb energy!

Hum~

The centipede corpse in front of him instantly turned into sparkling points of light—drilling into Lin Chen's body.

[energy points] 500

It really works!

Immediately, Lin Chen absorbed the giant snake as well.

[energy points] 1100

"These two alien beasts should be of Martial Master level."

Lin Chen was extremely pleased that he could absorb alien beast corpses.

Then, when he became stronger in the future, he could hunt alien beasts during his dream travels!

Huh!

Lin Chen noticed a few things on the ground that hadn't been absorbed.

A black carapace two meters in diameter and two one-meter-long snake fangs.

These must be the essence parts of the alien beasts; they would definitely sell for a lot of money!

Lin Chen excitedly collected them all!
