“Hmm.” The man with the golden mask nodded slightly.
Whoosh!
In an instant, he swiftly flew into the distance, hovering above the misty island. Then, this mysterious golden-masked man surprisingly stretched out his arms and closed his eyes. A unique, invisible force radiated outward from him in all directions, as if emitting detection waves like a radar.
Only about five or six seconds had passed.
Zooom! Like a bolt of lightning, this mysterious golden-masked man shot straight into the depths of the misty island.
…
This scene left Luo Feng and Councilor Farr, hovering in midair, secretly astonished. Logically, under heavy fog conditions, locating a Spirit Tree or Plant would be extremely difficult. If the Spirit Tree or Plant did not actively attack, even if it were right in front of someone, it would be nearly impossible to recognize! Therefore, even existences beyond the War God level had little advantage in searching for Spirit Trees or Plants.
So why…
Did Investigator Liu seem so confident, letting this mysterious golden-masked man take action?
“Councilor Farr, you can just stay here with me. That way, you’ll be more relaxed, and so will I.” Investigator Liu glanced at him. Councilor Farr merely sneered coldly and continued hovering in the air. He didn’t have any special method to locate Spirit Trees or Plants, so he might as well stay here to keep Liu occupied.
Suddenly—
Four figures rapidly rushed downward, and one figure shot upward.
Luo Feng looked closely and saw that the figure flying up was Phantom Kartland. Black light extended from Kartland’s feet, forming a shape similar to a platform. Standing on the black platform, Phantom Kartland floated directly in midair.
“Councilor Farr, Councilor Farr!” Kartland shouted angrily and bitterly, “We were excavating an unknown Spirit Tree or Plant just now, but at the crucial moment, someone snatched it away. Their speed was too fast, their power too strong. They must be an existence beyond the War God level. The four of us couldn’t even fight back.”
Councilor Farr’s expression changed.
“And earlier, when Li Yao discovered a Spirit Tree or Plant, by the time we arrived, it was already gone. Someone had already taken it.” Kartland continued shouting.
“Hahaha…” Investigator Liu laughed heartily.
Councilor Farr’s face turned dark green.
Luo Feng, however, was shocked. Wow, could that mysterious golden-masked man really possess such an ability, easily locating Spirit Trees or Plants even in endless thick fog? Logically speaking, if the Spirit Trees or Plants didn’t actively attack, it was extremely difficult to distinguish whether something was truly a Spirit Tree or Plant.
“Senator Liu, I wonder which of the three personal guards is that man? Is it Iceberg?” Councilor Farr’s face was dark green. “Never thought that one of the Grand Curator’s three personal guards would have such a special ability.”
“You’re clever. It indeed is Iceberg.”
Investigator Liu smiled lightly, “But is it really worth being so surprised? After breaking through the War God level and becoming an existence beyond War God, each person, due to different cultivation methods, develops unique abilities. Your ability is flame, while Iceberg, one of the three personal guards, simply possesses abilities beyond your imagination.”
Under the leadership of Hong of the Pinnacle Gym, there are five Investigating Envoys.
However, in reality, besides the five Investigating Envoys, only a few people knew… Hong also had three personal guards. These three guards had followed Hong loyally from the very beginning, with absolute devotion. Hong had also devoted himself to teaching these three guards, helping them grow. All three of these personal guards were existences beyond the War God level!
Everyone spoke of the terrifying might of the five Investigating Envoys…
Yet many powerful experts feared these three personal guards even more! Except for Hong himself, no one knew their true identities. It was only known that the code names of the three personal guards were ‘Beast,’ ‘Iceberg,’ and ‘Enchantress.’
“Personal guards?” Luo Feng was greatly surprised. “Not Investigating Envoys?”
“Young man,” Investigator Liu glanced at Luo Feng with a smile. “Do you really think the Curator’s power is that simple? The Curator’s three personal guards are all existences beyond the War God level. Moreover, each of these personal guards, under the Curator’s cultivation, possesses astonishing strength. Otherwise, how could the world’s major powers and organizations fear the Curator so much?”
Luo Feng was speechless.
One person personally cultivated three existences beyond the War God level.
Heaven!
“Boom~~”
“Whoosh!”
Down below, the island, shrouded in thick fog and darkness, occasionally emitted explosive sounds and the sound of impacts against plants. Obviously, these sounds were all caused by that personal guard.
In midair.
Suddenly, a soft wind-formed dome enveloped Luo Feng and Investigator Liu.
“Investigator?” Luo Feng looked at Investigator Liu in surprise.
“Just a minor technique, I don’t want Councilor Farr to overhear,” Investigator Liu smiled. “Let me introduce myself first. My name is Liu He. The Curator holds you in very high regard, calling you a genius among psychokineticists, one of the top in the world. You’ve recently consumed a thousand-year-old Willow Heart… what level of psychokinetic power have you reached?”
Luo Feng hesitated slightly.
“Peak of High War God level psychokineticist,” Luo Feng replied.
Investigator Liu inhaled sharply, looking at Luo Feng in disbelief and couldn’t help but ask, “How old are you?”
“19 years old!” Luo Feng answered.
“19 years old, Peak of High War God level psychokineticist?” Investigator Liu couldn’t help shaking his head and laughing. “I’ve always heard of legendary peerless geniuses, how powerful and impressive they were. Back in the Great Nirvana Era, the Curator and Councilor Thunder both became existences beyond War God in just a few short years. I’ve seen a few who reached the Peak of High War God level in just two or three years.”
“But… a psychokineticist at the Peak of High War God level who is only 19 years old, this is the first time I’ve ever seen.” Investigator Liu’s gaze softened slightly as he looked at Luo Feng.
Why is the Pinnacle Gym so powerful? Because of unity!
They strive to cultivate geniuses, making the gym even stronger, rather than fearing being surpassed by the younger generation and suppressing them. Luo Feng’s journey… has always been supported and nurtured by instructors like Jiang Nian, Chief Instructor Wu Tong, Envoy Yang Hui, and Teacher Jiang Fang, allowing him to grow so smoothly.
Innate talent is very important, but the external environment is equally crucial.
“Very good,” Investigator Liu smiled and nodded. “Your strength already qualifies you to be called the ‘Invincible War God.’ A psychokineticist at the Peak of High War God level, indeed, is very difficult to deal with. Your flight speed seems extremely fast, and your ability to burrow underground has become mysteriously elusive, making it hard for others to chase you.”
Luo Feng couldn’t help but recall the previous scene.
Councilor Farr had failed to catch him midair!
“However, you shouldn’t become complacent either. While you are invincible among War Gods, against existences beyond War God… it’s not certain! Those beyond War God each possess unique abilities.” Investigator Liu smiled faintly. “Different people have different advantages. For example, my flight speed is much faster than Councilor Farr’s.”
Luo Feng nodded. Like that mysterious golden-masked man, one of Hong’s three personal guards known as ‘Iceberg,’ who could effortlessly locate numerous Spirit Trees or Plants.
…
Investigator Liu earnestly reminded Luo Feng not to become arrogant, as there were many existences beyond War God who could easily defeat him.
“Let me see the ten-thousand-year-old Willow Heart,” Investigator Liu said.
“Councilor,” Luo Feng retrieved the ten-thousand-year-old Willow Heart from his robe.
Investigator Liu took it and observed the oval-shaped crystal, its green and golden threads undulating inside. His eyes narrowed slightly as he nodded, “This ten-thousand-year-old Willow Heart is definitely no ordinary item. I have a feeling, one ten-thousand-year-old Willow Heart is more important than ten thousand-year-old Willow Hearts combined.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile.
Of course?
Cutting down nine willow trees is much easier than cutting down the King Willow. Naturally, the ‘Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Willow Heart’ from the King Willow is no simple treasure.
“However, such a precious treasure cannot be used carelessly. It must be examined by the Curator to determine the proper way to utilize it,” Investigator Liu said solemnly. “Improper use of treasures can easily lead to death. There was someone in the past who consumed a certain treasure and exploded instantly.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Even eating can cause someone to burst from overeating; this ten-thousand-year-old Willow Heart is much more potent than the thousand-year-old one. Without full confidence, Luo Feng wouldn’t be foolish enough to consume it recklessly.
“Anyway, Luo Feng, you’ve made a great contribution this time,” Investigator Liu said. “Reporting the discovery of the mist island alone earns you a 10% share. And since you excavated and seized the treasure, obtaining the ten-thousand-year-old Willow Heart, you’ve definitely earned credit. Later, you’ll receive an even larger share.”
“You are now a Peak of High War God level psychokineticist. I estimate the gym will assign you important tasks. There’s no need for you to remain in the Elite Training Camp anymore,” Investigator Liu smiled. “How could the Curator not use someone with such talent? There might even be generous rewards. The Curator is definitely not a stingy person.”
“Councilor…”
Luo Feng felt a bit uneasy.
“Hmm?” Investigator Liu looked at Luo Feng. “Speak.”
“I just wanted to ask Councilor, I wonder if the Curator could reward me with a Black God Set,” Luo Feng asked.
Investigator Liu was taken aback; this young man was indeed not modest at all.
After the battle on the mist island, Luo Feng really wanted to obtain the Black God Set. Its effects were too good, far superior to a set of SS-grade combat gear. Actually, Luo Feng hadn’t yet received the War God title, legally speaking, he wasn’t a War God yet. Logically, he could continue staying in the Elite Training Camp, repeatedly achieving first place… thereby accumulating massive rewards and eventually obtaining the Black God Set?
“I originally had the chance to get it while staying in the training camp,” Luo Feng joked.
“You cheeky kid, you’re already considered invincible among War Gods. Do you have the heart to compete with those younglings?” Investigator Liu couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time. “As for the Black God Set, I really can’t make that decision. Let’s see what the Curator says!”
Investigator Envoys rarely interacted with trainees.
Investigator Liu proactively told Luo Feng his name and engaged in a warm conversation, originally intending to build a connection. However, he hadn’t expected Luo Feng to already be a truly invincible War God, a figure of great power. And yet, he acted like a child. Oh… indeed, Luo Feng was only 19 years old. He was still just a young lad.
…
“Boom~~~”
In the darkness of night, the entire mist island suddenly trembled violently, causing Luo Feng, Investigator Liu, and Councilor Farr, all hovering in midair, to be startled.
“Quick, retreat!” A sharp shout rang out.
The golden-masked man fled in disarray. “Zooom!” From afar, a thick vine, about twenty centimeters in diameter, shot into the air… This vine’s length stretched beyond sight, and under the illumination of Councilor Farr’s flames, the visible portion alone was five to six hundred meters long, with an unknown length still hidden in the distant fog.
It was like a vine stretching across heaven and earth!
This vine, like a tentacle extending hundreds of meters, continued to rapidly stretch out, curling toward the golden-masked man. The golden-masked man’s backpack was completely bulging, obviously filled with numerous Spirit Trees or Plants.
