Chapter 577: Chapter 578: The Defense of Lin Zhen’s Home! (Third Update)

Earth, Ice City Base City, Sky City.

In the backyard of Lin Zhen’s home, a girl is playing on a swing.

The girl looks like she’s thirteen or fourteen years old, with a stunningly beautiful and petite figure. She is wearing a white long dress with picturesque eyebrows and eyes.

As she’s playing happily, a boy’s voice calls out.

“Mei’er, have you finished your homework today?”

The fifteen-year-old Lin Ping is already 1.85 meters tall, tall and handsome with sharp facial features, very much like his father.

Now the cultivation system for martial artists has become more complete, and it’s no longer necessary to wait until the age of sixteen to start practicing martial arts officially. Lin Ping has made a breakthrough recently and advanced to the First-level War God.

Along with him, his younger brother Lin An also advanced. Lin An’s strength is not much different from his brother’s, but their personalities are very different.

Lin Ping is a cultivation fanatic, cold and serious, while Lin An is relatively warmer and kind to others. Although his diligence in cultivation is not as strong as his brother’s, the gap between them is not huge at their current realm.

However, if it came to a life-and-death battle, Lin An would still be no match for Lin Ping.

These two brothers had hunted mutated beasts since they were twelve years old. They had been in several martial artist teams, but nobody knew that these extraordinary youths were actually the sons of the legendary Sun Lord Lin Zhen of the Tianhe Empire.

Hearing her brother’s question, Lin Mei’er raised her head, her delicate face radiant: “Of course, I finished my tasks! Three hours of physical training, two hours of academic lessons, and two hours of cultivation class. Oh, and half an hour of sword practice.”

“Really?” Lin Ping seems to be skeptical.

“If you don’t believe me, you can ask my second brother; he saw it too.”

Lin Ping’s expression remained unchanged: “I saw you get up at seven in the morning today. It was already eight o’clock after you finished washing up and eating breakfast. You just told me that it took you seven and a half hours in total, not including lunchtime. But it’s just two in the afternoon now, so it’s only six hours in total. May I ask our young lady how you managed to finish seven and a half hours of lessons in six hours?”

Lin Mei’er was suddenly at a loss for words. In order to win her brother’s faith, she purposely exaggerated the time she spent on cultivation, but it ended up exposing her lie.

Seeing that she couldn’t bluff her way out, Lin Mei’er pouted, and tears welled up in her eyes: “But I really practiced very hard. Brother, you don’t have to be so fierce… If I must, I can ask Aunt An Qier to give me extra lessons in the evening…”

Seeing his sister’s teary-eyed face, Lin Ping couldn’t maintain his stern demeanor and quickly tried to comfort her.

“Mei’er, don’t cry. Your brother is just worried about you neglecting your training. After all, our father is not at home, and we must all strive to succeed. You’re only at the Fifth-level War General right now; how can that be enough?”

“I’m younger than both of you, and among the girls in school, my strength is already the strongest. Not everyone can compare to you two cultivation maniacs.”

Lin Ping was momentarily speechless. He’s strict and determined but helpless when it comes to his sister.

At this moment, footsteps approached, and a man and a woman in their thirties came over.

“Grandfather and grandmother!”

Lin Mei’er immediately pounced on them as if she had found her saviors.

The approaching people were Lin Zhen’s parents. Li Qin embraced Lin Mei’er with a beaming smile: “My lovely granddaughter, why are you suddenly so close to your grandmother today? Did your brother restrain you again? Do you want to skip training?”

Over the years, Lin Zhen’s continuous supply of star crystals allowed their realm cultivation to progress quite quickly, and they both remarkably reached the Constant Star Stage. Although their actual combat strength was not very strong, their realm was at least higher than ordinary Planet Stage opponents.

“No, my brother is just looking out for my best interest.” Lin Mei’er still knew to defend her brother.

“This little girl’s sweet words make her such a good child!”

Li Qin enjoyed her time with her granddaughter. On the other hand, Lin’s father was asking his grandson about his cultivation progress. He and Lin Ping had both advanced to the War God level, which was a big step forward, and he wanted to ask them about their future cultivation plans.

Then, a burst of silver laughter rang through the air as the beautiful women of the Lin family made their entrance.

An Ning and Su Mingyue walked hand in hand. Although they were already in their thirties, they still looked like twenty-year-old girls, with captivating beauty. This was the advantage of being a martial artist; eternal youth.

Under Lin Zhen’s heavy emphasis on their training, both of them had reached the Late Black Hole Stage, which put them on par with Lin Zhen in terms of realm cultivation. After all, Lin Zhen had missed five years of cultivation and spent four years comprehending the stele before that. It was normal for his talented wives to catch up with him in terms of pure cultivation.

Behind them, the An Qier sisters and Ling’er were also present. Since their realm was originally higher than Su Mingyue and An Ning, they had also reached the Black Hole Stage. The beautiful women of the Lin family were quickly advancing to the Star System stage.

Lin Ping also followed An Ning and called out from a distance, “Grandfather, grandmother, big brother, and little sister, prepare for dinner!”

“Hehe, let’s eat, let’s eat!”

Lin’s father led his grandchildren to join the whole family, preparing to dine in the garden restaurant together.

Suddenly, a shrill alarm sounded!

“Enemy attack! Enemy attack! An unidentified spaceship has entered the Earth’s atmosphere and will arrive in one minute!”

The attacking spaceship accelerated from Mars and entered the parallel universe; reaching Earth would only take less than a minute. The alarm was already quite fast.

The whole family paused for a moment, and then Lin’s father shouted, “Prepare for defense, everyone get into the secret room!”

As Lin Zhen’s family, although they were usually safe and comfortable, they never let down their guard because they were Lin Zhen’s loved ones. They could not afford to be careless and cause any trouble for him.

During normal days, they had practiced many emergency drills. Today, as the whole family was present, they all sprang into action.

Su Mingyue led Lin Mei’er, An Ning led their two sons, and Lin Liye and his wife didn’t need anyone to guide them. The whole family rushed towards the secret room entrance in the garden.

Ling’er pressed the remote control while running. The entrance to the secret room hidden behind the flower wall suddenly appeared.

It was a defense system from the Fire Kirin Empire. The walls had an alloy insulation which could withstand a direct attack from a Domain King Strong without any damage.

As the entrance to the secret room appeared, everyone orderly entered it. By then, the shadows of the spaceships were already visible in the sky.

They were diving at a sub-light speed, cooperating well with the five spacecraft.

Since they had traversed the parallel universe, they had avoided the interception of the fortress satellite and the orbital cannon, appearing directly outside Earth’s atmosphere, arriving very quickly.

Before the spaceships landed, the gunfire in the sky had already begun bombarding Lin Zhen’s home!

Lin Zhen’s house was in Sky City, which also had defensive firepower. When the invaders appeared, the defense system opened fire.

The five ships seemed well-rehearsed. Four of them activated their shields, covering the central ship.

The defense artillery roared and hit the four ships; their shields were quickly depleting, and they would likely be destroyed within ten seconds.

Nevertheless, they had bought enough time for the main ship, and the laser cannon had already begun firing.

Ling’er was the last one into the secret room. When the secret room door hadn’t completely fallen yet, the laser cannon precisely hit that door!

After a violent tremor, the door was destroyed due to its defense system not being fully activated since the door hadn’t closed yet.

“Hurry! The second door!”

The whole family sped up and rushed inside.

The round door quickly closed, just as the first one was completely destroyed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~!

A group of over twenty star system Martial Artists swiftly appeared in front of the defense door.

“Boss, bad news! We’re just a step too late, maybe just a second.”

“The vigilance of Lin Zhen’s family is commendable. However, they could never imagine the extent of our efforts to capture them. We can easily break this defensive room from the Fire Kirin.”

“Get the decoder! Open the defense, and I’ll catch fish in a barrel!”

A star system Martial Artist rushed forward and fixed a huge decoder to the door.

The figures on the display changed rapidly. The door had a twenty-two-digit code, which was being cracked at a speed of one digit about every three seconds.

“Hahaha! This time they’re trapped. I’m well aware of this defensive system, once the second door opens, there’s nothing but a living space inside. They didn’t set up another exit for safety, so they’re cornered.”

With an excited expression, the red-faced man said, “The girls in Lin Zhen’s house are all beauties. Although there’s only one woman like Feng Qingluan, the others aren’t much worse. I can’t handle a woman like her anyway; I prefer someone like Su Mingyue.”

“I like An Ning.”

“I like the Angel sisters. No one better fight me for them!”

“That Ling’er is also beautiful, an Elf princess.”

The star system Martial Artists behind him laughed lasciviously, discussing which of Lin Zhen’s beautiful women they would take.

The boss grinned viciously, “Then, I’ll choose Lin Zhen’s daughter. The voice of a little girl being tortured is the most exquisite sound in the world.”

“Speaking of Lin Zhen, he’s really foolish. Doesn’t he know that the strongest defense isn’t a machine but people? All machines are man-made; what can be built can also be broken. Only powerful Martial Artists are the most inscrutable.”

The decoder was working at a rapid pace, and only the last five digits were left to be cracked.

At that moment, a cold voice came from behind, “Do you think you can just touch Mr. Lin Zhen’s family without discussing it with us first?”

These newcomers looked back to see two people standing outside the door.

One of them was a Star System Level 8 Martial Artist recognizable to some as Black Dragon, the former island leader of the Black Pearl – Xilanke.

The other one was, Xuan Jiang, a strong figure who had dominated the arena years ago!

Being a high-level Galaxy Beast, Xilanke was inherently stronger than ordinary Martial Artists of his level. His Star System Level 8 strength was on par with Level 9!

As for Xuan Jiang, he was already at the Peak of Level 9 and had been focusing on cultivation for many years, having reached a level comparable to the seven Evil Stars of the past!

These Star System Level 6 and 7 Martial Artists felt their scalps tingle at the sight of Xuan Jiang, as they hadn’t expected Lin Zhen to have a backup plan. They were in trouble!
