"Boom—!"

With a deafening explosion reverberating.

The fierce surge of Blood Qi Power precisely struck the massive hand emerging from the black fog.

In an instant, the hand exploded into pieces, transforming into a rain of black dust scattered all around.

"Who?!"

A cry, suppressed with severe pain, emanated from the black fog.

The voice had barely faded.

The next second, a bright red streak flashed by, rapidly plunging into the black fog under the watchful eyes of Lan Tianbai and the others.

Then, in just two seconds, the dense black fog began to dissipate, revealing a corpse with a gaping chest wound.

It was the corpse of an Alien from the Land of Oblivion.

Behind the body, a familiar figure hovered—Lin Zichen.

Seeing that it was Lin Zichen who had easily killed the Alien from the Land of Oblivion within the black fog, Lan Tianbai and the others were all stunned on the spot, their faces full of disbelief.

The deceased Alien from the Land of Oblivion, with a Biological Level as high as Rare Fourth Order, had the ability to overpower an entire team of Alien Human Level Geniuses, including their instructor.

Yet, such an almost invincible fighter

had been killed in the blink of an eye by Lin Zichen, who had been in the team for less than half a year.

This scene was too astonishing.

It was so unreal.

"Is Lin Zichen really an Earthling?"

Lan Tianbai stared dumbly at Lin Zichen in the sky, his face full of life's doubts.

The others felt the same, all suspecting that Lin Zichen wasn't an Earthling.

Otherwise, it was really hard to explain why Lin Zichen's strength was so abnormally strong.

"Ptui!"

High above, Lin Zichen withdrew his hand from the corpse in front of him, bringing out a Source Crystal larger than a fist.

This single Source Crystal was worth at least a thousand Contribution Points.

And similar to this, he had collected nearly ten on this trip.

All told, almost ten thousand Contribution Points, enough to exchange for 10 Rare Exotic Fruits in the city's storeroom.

The precondition was, they had to win this major battle, and City Number One wasn't taken.

Otherwise, all would be in vain.

Soon.

Lin Zichen slowly descended under the gaze of everyone, landing next to Shen Qinghan.

"Lin Zichen, what is your strength now?"

Zhao Qingxian was the first to step forward and ask, very curious about it.

Although asking so might be offensive, he really wanted to know the answer.

"Rare Level."

Lin Zichen gave a vague answer.

Strength was a secret, a card up one's sleeve, not meant to be told to others.

It was good enough that they didn't curse him out.

"Let's go."

Lin Zichen showed no intention of lingering, turning his head to speak to Shen Qinghan beside him.

He just wanted to loot more corpses now.

He didn't want to waste even a second.

Missing this chance to obtain a great deal of Evolution Resources in this major battle, who knew when the next opportunity would come.

He had to seize this opportunity to grab a huge amount of Evolution Resources and soar to great heights at once.

"Zi Chen, wait a moment!"

Seeing Lin Zichen about to leave, Lan Tianbai, who was leading the team, quickly stepped forward and called out, "We are a unit, it would be better to move together, being a lone wolf isn't quite good."

Lin Zichen was extremely strong, and being a lone wolf was a bit of a waste.

Lan Tianbai hoped Lin Zichen would stay and lead the team.

The whole team growing together was definitely better than just one person growing.

Moreover, leadership was a very important attribute.

Now that Earth was at a disadvantage, to break through the encirclement in the Origin Land, they needed to be united and act in unison.

Being a lone wolf would only lead Earth to destruction.

Seeing Lan Tianbai saying this, the others also voiced their persuasion:

"Yes, Lin Zichen, there's strength in numbers, and it's better for solving any tricky problems that come up."

"The battlefield is too dangerous; having more teammates means more protection."

"Being a lone wolf is risky; it's easy to end up isolated and unsupported; it's better to team up with more people."

The people saying this actually just wanted to cling to Lin Zichen's powerful coattails; it wasn't really about the strength in numbers.

They had all just witnessed Lin Zichen's strength, which was even stronger than their instructor, Lan Tianbai.

If Lin Zichen could take charge of leading the team, then the journey ahead would surely be much safer.

Everyone wanted to be safer.

Surviving was not easy; no one wanted to die.

Especially the geniuses who had various privileges; they wanted to live even more.

For that reason, as long as it could increase their survival rate, pride was meaningless.

Even serving as a leader's dog was acceptable.

A living genius is called a genius; a dead genius is just dead trash.

"No, I prefer to act with fewer people."

Despite everyone's persuasion, Lin Zichen flatly refused without a second thought.

He needed no burdens.

Unless that burden was Shen Qinghan.

"Let's go, Han Han."

Lin Zichen once again spoke to Shen Qinghan beside him.

The moment his words fell, he lightly tapped the ground with his toe, and his entire body immediately soared into the air, flying forward.

Seeing this, Shen Qinghan also moved her thoughts and followed him with Flight Control.

What was going on?

She knew how to perform Flight Control too?!

She was a Rare Level Fighter?

Seeing Shen Qinghan float into the air, Lan Tianbai and the others all widened their eyes, their faces incredulous.

They had already deeply experienced Lin Zichen's terrifying strength.

And Shen Qinghan, this seemingly timid and weak girl who had barely shown herself, they really hadn't expected her to be so powerful.

After all, Shen Qinghan looked frail and lacking in confidence, an apparent weakling.

Now it seemed that she was only outwardly frail, but her strength was outrageously strong.
