Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 820 - 542: My Son Ti Hu, Possesses the Bearing of a Saint Lord

The Elder of Heng Mountain departed with Long Ze.

This super genius who had just reached the peak of his life and achieved the Star Emperor Realm quickly fell into a low point in life.

In fact, this low point was even more terrifying than his previous inability to break through to the Star Emperor.

Long Ze's future, Long Ze's potential, all were taken away.

From then on, he could only be a cripple.

Once they left, the many strong individuals within the Frost Nation Capital breathed a sigh of relief.

The aura of the Elder of Heng Mountain just now was truly intimidating.

No one dared to say the wrong thing in front of him at that moment.

Otherwise, who knew what irrational actions the Elder of Heng Mountain might take.

Due to the matter of Long Ze, the gathered strong individuals here all withdrew quietly.

Following Zeng Guangxian back into the Imperial Palace.

Afterward, naturally, servants and palace maids arranged accommodations, cultivation, and other matters for everyone.

In the side hall.

Hu Zeng, Zeng Guangxian, and Lu Lin sat together.

"Alas."

Hu Zeng sighed deeply, not knowing how to comment on what happened today.

If it were only the first half, Hu Zeng would undoubtedly be extremely excited.

Being able to connect with the Elder of Heng Mountain within General Mountain is something countless Star Emperor powerhouses dream of.

But unexpectedly, at such a critical moment, the incident of Long Ze vomiting blood occurred.

Now, what was a good thing has turned into a bad one.

"Big brother Hu Zeng doesn't need to be like this."

Lu Lin spoke calmly, "This is how things are in the world. Long Ze's life was too smooth before, which is why he's facing so many tribulations now."

Saying this, Lu Lin thought of that scene in Long Ze's memory.

Even because it was triggered by him, Lu Lin could clearly feel Long Ze's feelings at the time.

Pain, despair, helplessness.

Perhaps from that moment, Long Ze's heart had already died.

Now, finally having a glimmer of hope, able to reach the Star Emperor Realm, only to have his golden blood taken, becoming a cripple, it's truly a twist of fate.

"Lu Lin is right, Mr. Zeng shouldn't overthink it. As for Long Ze, having his Master worry about it is enough."

"The Elder of Heng Mountain cares deeply for Long Ze and certainly won't leave him unattended."

Hu Zeng nodded, indeed there was not much point in his and Lu Lin's concern here, better to check out the situation at the Heavenly Talent War with the time remaining.

The time is running out. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Here's the plan, Lu Lin. In the next few days, let Zeng Guangxian arrange for your clan members, and I'll take you to see General Mountain later."

"The once-in-a-century Heavenly Talent War is about to start, let's set off early to gather some intelligence."

"Alright, I'll leave it to you, Master Hu Zeng."

Lu Lin replied politely, just as Hu Zeng was about to tell Lu Lin to not address him so formally, he received a message.

"Master Hu Zeng, my father Di Zhong has been promoted to the Star Emperor Realm and would like to invite you for a meal."

The communication came from the leader of the Hu Wei Army, Ti Hu. Hu Zeng paused, Di Zhong?

This person has stayed at the Star Emperor Boundary longer than Hu Zeng has, and is much older, with his potential completely exhausted, generally holding a sinecure inside General Mountain, mainly responsible for educating several Sects and Empires. How did he suddenly get promoted to Star Emperor?

However, he didn't voice his questions, chatted with Ti Hu for a bit, informed him of his location, and then looked up at Lu Lin and Zeng Guangxian, saying, "There is a change of plans, might have to delay our departure."

"Ti Hu's father, Di Zhong, has been promoted to Star Emperor and wants to invite me for a meal. At that time, Lu Lin, you should join us."

"Alright."

Lu Lin agreed, though he didn't know what the connection was.

Half a day later.

Di Zhong arrived at the Frost Nation.

He came on a Flying Boat, as it's not appropriate to invite others to dine in the Frost Nation itself.

"Brother Hu Zeng, long time no see."

Di Zhong greeted with a big smile.

Whether because of the promotion or not, Di Zhong, who was originally unremarkable, now surprisingly exuded an air of high spirit.

"Brother Di Zhong, indeed long time no see. If it weren't for Ti Hu telling me today, I wouldn't have known you were promoted. It's really worth celebrating."

"Flattered, flattered, it was actually due to Ti Hu's influence that I received a Thousand Victory Flower from Lord General to barely make the promotion."

"Thousand Victory Flower?"

Hu Zeng's expression changed.

This item is unique to General Mountain, and only a few are produced every ten thousand years. Di Zhong, just an old man with exhausted potential, what did he do to have Lord General personally grant him a Thousand Victory Flower?

You have to know, on General Mountain's upper and lower levels, there are no fewer than four to five hundred Star Emperor Peak masters waiting for a Thousand Victory Flower to promote, how could it possibly be his turn?

"Yes, it's a Thousand Victory Flower," Di Zhong showed a hint of pride, invited Hu Zeng to sit down, and only then noticed Lu Lin following behind.

Assuming him to be Hu Zeng's trusted soldier or favored talent, he didn't pay much attention, "Brother Hu Zeng, do you know how this Thousand Victory Flower came to be?"

"How did it come to be."

Hu Zeng was naturally curious about this.

"Hehe, to be honest, when I received it, I was quite bewildered. Lord General only mentioned that my years of hard work and dedication to the Holy Land earned me a Thousand Victory Flower."

"Initially, I didn't quite grasp why, happily basking in the moment's glory until I broke through to the Star Emperor Realm during my closed-door cultivation."

"Suddenly, it hit me: years of hard work and contributions? While that's a valid reason, many within the Holy Land have performed more laboriously and contributed more than me, so why me?"
