Chapter 4194: Level 9! This Trip Was Worth It!

Promotion included?

Alright!

Staying behind is just for this, isn’t it?

As Sean said, the cultivation environment of the Magita Empire is superior to the Federation, and more importantly, the Federation rules everything, making promotion very difficult.

Although, due to Xue Wenrui’s connections, the Fang Family provided me with the necessary potions for cultivation, the crucial promotion potion is still unattainable.

To get the Divine Descent Potion, either you apply within the system based on merit or trade medals to exchange.

The Federation is currently peaceful, and gaining merit is quite challenging, isn’t it?

Xiyue Star is different, there’s a king position war happening here.

Winner becomes king, loser becomes bandit.

If defeated, you’ll likely have to flee to another planet, with almost no chance to rise again.

Sean and Augustus were at a disadvantage initially, making Lin Chen’s value increasingly prominent.

Sean is a prince, a lord; during the wartime, there’s absolutely no need to adhere to any rules. If he’s willing to give, he can give!

Upon receiving the promise, Lin Chen immediately cooperated with Sean for a sneak attack.

Sean dispatched an elite team, each possessing combat power at Level 8 or 9, carrying powerful explosives and entered the Void Pearl.

Lin Chen approached with Earth Escape, then suddenly popped out from the base, ghost-like.

After setting up the explosives, Lin Chen led everyone to retreat.

When Lin Chen was far enough away, the violent explosion began.

Firelight engulfed Lin’s Base, with the military suffering countless deaths and injuries; various war chariots and ships were heavily damaged.

Augustus turned livid with rage, cursing those in charge of guarding as buckets of incompetence, yet the massive losses forced Augustus to halt his attack plans.

Though Augustus is more formidable than Sean, the destructive power of various high-tech weapons is also substantial; Augustus dared not advance solo.

While Augustus’ side was lamenting everywhere, Sean’s side was brimming with cheer.

“Well done!”

Sean’s face was rosy, his eyes shining: “Augustus has suffered huge losses this time; wanting to attack, I fear he lacks the ability, as another clash with me might just let Ethan capitalize on it.”

Talina was also very pleased; after all, she and her father are now under Sean’s shelter. Naturally, she hopes for Sean’s victory as, from her perspective, Sean treats her well and gets along well with her father. If he wins, both she and her father can live peacefully.

“Should we continue attacking?”

Sean shook his head: “Augustus suffered this time due to negligence; his forces were too densely stationed, with many ships yet to take off. Perhaps he thought I couldn’t pose a threat, thus relaxed heavily.”

“After this successful sneak attack, he has already retreated. I have investigated; his camp is now rock-solid, with all ships floating in space, making destroying the remaining ships unlikely.”

Lin Chen kept silent.

Actually, there are ways to destroy some ships, as he can leap across the stars, and he possesses a super powerful weapon never before used.

If a true sneak attack is launched, perhaps he alone could obliterate the entire fleet.

But if all enemies were eradicated, how would his value be justified?

At critical moments, turning the tide is much easier for gaining great merit, isn’t it?

Moreover, cultivation requires time, and during this temporary ceasefire, isn’t it perfect for cultivation?

No matter Sean’s operations, Lin Chen doesn’t care.

Upon obtaining the Lion Heart Potion, Lin Chen went into closed door cultivation in the cultivation cabin.

The cultivation cabin of the Magita Empire is more effective than the Federation’s, coupled with the Lion Heart Potion, Lin Chen’s strength surged swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, two years passed.

In two years, Lin Chen successfully reached the Level 8 Peak, and Sean didn’t break his promise this time, delivering the War God Potion ensuring promotion to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen didn’t waste any time; once confirming his state was perfect, he used the War God Potion.

After injecting the War God Potion, drastic changes occurred within Lin Chen’s body.

Every Yuanxiang in his body seemed to undergo nuclear fission, tremendous energy circulated within, continually transforming his body, with the furnace in his Dantian burning fiercely and the energy becoming increasingly solidified.

Lin Chen felt as if his whole body was being torn apart, yet the surging power diminished the pain, irresistibly indulging in the thrill of mastering immense power.

Enduring within the pain and thrill for eight days, the furnace became increasingly sturdy, with the energy inside growing ever grander, almost trending towards fission into an inner universe.

A magnificent breath suddenly emanated from Lin Chen, stirring his surroundings; meanwhile, the monitoring instruments in the cultivation cabin showed soaring data, an extremely exaggerated extent.

Promotion successful!

Stepping out of the cultivation cabin, Lin Chen met Qiu Chan’s excited gaze.

“Done?”

Lin Chen nodded: “Done!”

Qiu Chan exhaled in relief, marvelling: “This trip wasn’t in vain!”

Lin Chen chuckled: “Yes, you’ve improved quite a bit as well, haven’t you?”

Qiu Chan nodded, her eyes shining with excitement: “Indeed, but cultivation at Level 9 becomes ever harder; although I feel tangible improvement, the destination is still far.”

“The stronger the ability, the more prolonged the enhancement time; this is common in any cultivation system.”

Lin Chen said with a laugh: “No rush, we have plenty of time.”

Lin Chen pointed at the ring around his neck, chuckling: “As long as it’s on the neck for one day, we’re secure for one day.”

Qiu Chan giggled softly: “Yes, he’s eager for our advancement now, even wishing for my breakthrough past the bottleneck to become a Nebula Martial Artist.”

Lin Chen encouraged: “You can do it! Once you become a Nebula Martial Artist, we truly have a foothold; for now, we only possess the skill to flee, but lack the capability for direct confrontation.”

Star Dust Warriors and Nebula Martial Artists are entirely different levels. Sean at Star Nebula First Layer might manage to fight Augustus at Second Layer of Nebula, but Dust Nine Layers versus Star Nebula First Layer is outright gifting.”

One move, KO!

The two adjusted their moods, leaving the cultivation cabin.

Seeing the two, Talina’s eyes brightened: “Promoted?”

Lin Chen nodded: “Yes!”

Talina laughed: “Congratulations, this is indeed wonderful news.”

After being forcefully kept, perhaps troubled by the promise she couldn’t fulfil, Talina quietly confided in Lin Chen, revealing the truth.

“My Brother controls my mind’s data, and I cannot access it. He did this to have you help him against Augustus.”

“I apologize for failing to keep my promise.”

“Cultivate in peace, I swear, when I have the opportunity to retrieve the data, I’ll restore your freedom!”

Seeing Talina’s guilty expression, Lin Chen accepted her apology.

Thanks to Talina’s apology, the cracks in the relationship among the three were mended, and now they interact like friends, fairly harmoniously.

Lin Chen smiled: “I’ll cook a meal later, let’s celebrate.”

Talina’s eyes sparkled: “Great!”
