Evolving infinitely from ground zero

Then, without exception, all their faces slightly changed, feeling very sudden.

Especially Yuan Dongzhi, her eyebrows immediately knit tightly together, and her facial expression looked extremely ugly.

As a Rare Level Fighter, she had entered the Origin Land many times over the years and was acutely aware of what a massive attack signified.

The most recent massive attack was 15 years ago.

At that time, she had been stuck at High Level Ninth Order for decades, unable to evolve.

In order to evolve into a Rare Level Creature, she gave up the secure job arranged by her family and chose to join the team resisting the attacks.

That attack lasted a full three years.

During those three years, she fought and killed enemies, gaining a vast amount of Evolution Resources, and fulfilling her wish to evolve into a Rare Level Creature.

Moreover, she evolved directly to Rare Second Order.

She climbed two levels at once!

However, not everyone was as lucky as she was.

Most people involved in that battle ultimately met death.

The former director of the education headquarters of Nanjiang Province.

The former principal of Shanhai University.

Even the former patriarch of the high family in Capital City, an Epic Level Expert who had lived for hundreds of years.

Without exception, they all perished in that large-scale defensive battle.

"I need to leave for a bit, you guys talk,"

With only that, Yuan Dongzhi hastily left the research institute.

Watching Yuan Dongzhi's departing figure, Liu Chuanwu called out with a worried expression, "Dongzhi, you must be careful!" Continue your adventure at m|v-l'e -NovelBin.net

"Alright."

Yuan Dongzhi responded tersely.

Before her voice had completely faded, she had already disappeared from everyone's sight.

"Principal, Principal Yuan is so powerful, she definitely won't run into trouble,"

Seeing Liu Chuanwu worried sick, Song Yuyan spoke up to comfort him.

Liu Chuanwu nodded, "Yes, with her strength, she should be just fine."

That being said, his heart was still filled with overwhelming worry, feeling pessimistic about Yuan Dongzhi leading a team down to the Origin Land.

He was aware of the massive attack from fifteen years ago.

He knew just how dangerous the Origin Land could be.

In this light, a Rare Level Expert who could dominate a region on Earth would amount to no more than a slightly larger ant in the Origin Land, where beasts abounded and demons roamed.

Once they stepped out of mankind's stronghold in the Origin Land, they would be at risk of perishing at any time.

"Xiao Chen, do you think those terrifying creatures in the Origin Land could really make it over to Earth?"

Shen Qinghan, grasping Lin Zichen's hand, said with eyes full of worry.

Lin Zichen, in turn, held her small hand and confidently stated, "They won't make it over, if it were that easy, Earth would've been overrun a long time ago."

"That's true too."

Shen Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief.

However, standing beside her, Lin Zichen felt quite the opposite.

At this moment, he appeared calm on the outside, but inside, his heart was extremely heavy.

The rat plague in Sakura Sea Country that he had seen on TV as a child was still vivid in his memory to this day.

Under the onslaught of countless Giant Mutant Rats, a metropolis with nearly ten million people was instantly reduced to ruins.

The people of Sakura Sea Country were mostly turned into food for the Giant Mutant Rats, resulting in extremely heavy casualties.

If it weren't for the timely deployment of experts from various countries back then, Sakura Sea Country might not even exist on the map anymore.

Lin Zichen worried that the land he lived on now might face the same kind of catastrophe Sakura Sea Country had experienced.

That terrifying rat plague from the past, even just thinking about it now filled him with despair.

"I hope it's just me worrying over nothing..."

Lin Zichen thought to himself.

...

That afternoon.

The director of academic affairs of Shanhai University announced that for the coming period, the inner campus would suspend classes indefinitely, and all students were to study on their own.

Afterwards, all faculty and staff members of the school with a Biological Level of High Level or higher left the school before nightfall, boarding one military helicopter after another.

They divided into three groups, flying towards three different directions, corresponding to entrances of Origin Lands number 34, 35, and 36.

For a time, the whole inner campus was abuzz with discussion.

Almost all the students were speculating what could have happened to cause the school to suddenly declare an indefinite suspension of classes.

And for a large number of teachers and school leaders to board military helicopters and leave the school without a trace.

...

In the dormitory living room.

Lin Zichen glanced at his phone.

Every group chat was discussing how the school suddenly announced an indefinite suspension and then teachers and school leaders left one after another.

I opened the school forum.

Every post was also talking about this.

Glancing at Weibo's trending searches, it's still the same topic.

This time, the officials weren't suppressing the heat of the topic; instead, they let the public discuss freely.

Lin Zichen frowned slightly, feeling some unease.

When the officials no longer cover up an incident but choose to let the public discuss it, it often means they are likely to make it public.

And the reason for going public is often because the incident can no longer be concealed.

A large-scale biotic attack on human strongholds from the Origin Land—if officials feel they can't keep it under wraps, there's only one scenario:

—The officials lack confidence in securing the Origin Land entrances, and it is highly probable that creatures from the Origin Land will break through into Earth.

At this thought, Lin Zichen suddenly felt an immense pressure.

He hurriedly put down his smartphone.

He immersed himself fully in the task of breaking through the acupoints.

If a catastrophe truly were to come, he, a mere Ordinary Level creature, would be completely incapable of stopping it.

All he could do was to break through the acupoints as soon as possible, evolve into a High Level Creature, and gain more ability to protect himself.

"Lin Zi, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Shen Qinghan, who had just finished tempering her body, walked over and asked leisurely.

Lin Zichen, without even opening his eyes, continued to strike at his acupoints, saying, "I feel like I can break through the acupoints tonight. I'll skip eating for now; if you're hungry, go ahead and eat first."

"Then I'm not eating either."

Shen Qinghan said and sat down beside him, joining Lin Zichen to strike at the acupoints.

She had just finished tempering her body and was somewhat hungry, wanting to eat something.

But seeing Lin Zichen not eating, she lost her appetite as well.

She thought about striking the acupoints together with him and then eating together after he had broken through.

Just like that.

The two sat quietly in the living room, fully focused on striking at their acupoints.

From three in the afternoon, they continued without stopping until eight at night.

After a straight five hours, Lin Zichen felt very tired, his head dizzy, almost on the verge of losing consciousness.

However, the acupoint he was striking was also loosening, feeling like it could be broken through at any moment.

Because of this, Lin Zichen could only persist, until the acupoint was broken through.

Shen Qinghan was doing the same.

At this moment, she felt as if her heart might stop from the impact.

Several times her vision darkened, and she nearly collapsed.

Seeing that Lin Zichen was still persevering, she also clenched her teeth and persisted, not wanting to fall too far behind him.

As time ticked by, second by second.

Unknowingly,

It was already nine in the evening.

Lin Zichen felt horrible, nearly unable to hold on.

His brain kept sending messages:

Stop!

Stop now!

There's no need to rush this moment. You can try again tomorrow!

Lin Zichen ignored these messages, continuing to persist in striking the acupoint!

Nine shallow and one deep!

He kept on hammering fiercely!

When the clock struck 9:09 p.m.!

Suddenly!

Lin Zichen opened his eyes wide, a look of excitement on his face, "I've broken through!"

At the same time, Shen Qinghan also shouted excitedly, "Xiao Chen, I've broken through!"

Both of them broke through the acupoint located at the heart at the same time.

In that moment, neither had the mind to share their joy.

Instead, they calmed their emotions in tacit agreement, quietly concentrating to feel their own bodies.

They wanted to see what was different after breaking through the acupoints.

Lin Zichen earnestly sensed his body and could distinctly feel that the flow rate of his Qi-Blood had become faster.

More than twice as fast as when he was at Ordinary Ninth Order!

Feeling the pressure of his life force, he saw that it was now close to High Level Fourth Order!
