Chapter 274: The Three Mightiest Beings on Earth

Night.

Luo Feng and his wife Xu Xin were each holding their child and watching television together.

“Hmm?” Luo Feng picked up his phone, seeing the incoming call number on the screen, and was greatly shocked.

“What’s wrong?” Xu Xin asked in confusion.

“It’s a call from Master Hong,” Luo Feng said, frowning in puzzlement. Since the battle against the Devourer, Hong and Thunder God had been in a deep slumber.

Xu Xin was also surprised, “Who dares to use Hong’s phone?”

“Hello,” Luo Feng answered the call.

“Luofeng!” A powerful voice came through.

“Master?” Luo Feng was astonished, and beside him, Xu Xin’s eyes widened in shock.

Had Hong awakened?

Had Hong, who had been asleep for two years, finally awoken? This would undoubtedly be shocking news to the entire world.

“I just woke up. Thunder God also woke. We’ve just learned what happened after our slumber. Thank you for saving our lives and for saving humanity,” Hong’s voice was filled with joy. “If you’re free, come to Hongning Base City.”

“Alright, I’ll come right away,” Luo Feng nodded.

“Good, Thunder God and I will be here,” Hong said with a laugh.

After hanging up, Xu Xin couldn’t help but ask, “Hong is alive?”

“And Thunder God too,” Luo Feng smiled. “I’ll go there now. I probably won’t be back until late tonight.”

“Okay,” Xu Xin nodded quickly.

…

Luo Feng stood on the Dark Cloud Shuttle and swiftly flew away from Jiangnan Base City, heading to the headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Academy at top speed.

…

Outside the headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Academy, numerous warplanes were parked, and the place was bustling with activity.

“Inspector Luo Feng,” the guards at headquarters respectfully saluted.

Luo Feng quickly entered the headquarters, and under the guidance of staff, went directly to a reception room.

Inside the reception room were only Hong and Thunder God.

“Luofeng.”

Two men, one in black and one in white, saw Luo Feng and immediately approached.

“Haha, Luo Feng, you’ve certainly made a big name for yourself,” Thunder God laughed heartily and playfully punched Luo Feng in the chest. “Considering you saved my life, I’ll let this slide, hahaha.”

“The second brother has a thick skin. Don’t take him too seriously,” Hong said to Luo Feng. Thunder God glared, “You—”

“Ah, I’m a man of great tolerance, I won’t take it seriously,” Luo Feng said solemnly.

“Pfft, you two!”

Thunder God was so angry he could barely contain himself, while Hong and Luo Feng burst into laughter.

“Sit down.”

“Let’s all sit.”

At Hong’s invitation, the three sat down. These three were the most powerful beings on Earth!

“Luofeng,” Thunder God stopped joking and said seriously, “After Thunder God and I learned what happened, we were truly terrified, fearing the extinction of humanity! Thank you.”

“Yes, words cannot express our gratitude. It’s all in the wine,” Hong poured wine himself, filling three cups. “Come!”

All three picked up their cups.

“Cheers!”

They drank in one gulp.

“Luofeng,” Hong smiled, “Earlier, you dealt with that group of scoundrels led by Atkin. We’re grateful for that too. Otherwise, who knows what chaos they might have caused.”

“Especially my Thunder Martial Arts Academy! Hmph, Sagor Nehrul wanted to take my seat as Master? Hmph, someone who dares to harm the families of heroes who sacrificed themselves for humanity… such a person deserves to die!” Thunder God couldn’t help but curse, still furious after learning what had happened upon awakening.

Luo Feng smiled, “These were minor issues. Eliminating those three troublemakers brought peace to various countries and factions.”

“An example to deter others,” Hong nodded slightly. “Earthly matters are trivial. After Thunder God and I awoke, we discussed and made a decision.”

“A decision?” Luo Feng looked at Hong and Thunder God in puzzlement.

What decision had these two made after sleeping for two years and then awakening?

“Luofeng,” Thunder God said solemnly, “Both Thunder God and I have received some knowledge from ancient civilization ruins. We can even create translation software. As you can see, we know a lot about the universe! There are countless powerful nations out there. Our Milky Way is just a part of the Blue Silver Empire!”

“And planets like ours, which have no masters, will become nightmares once discovered!” Thunder God’s expression turned serious.

Hong nodded, “Yes, a nightmare! If we’re lucky, Earth might become the territory of a powerful being. But more likely… almost all Earthlings would be sold into slavery, and then the entire planet would be sold to powerful individuals.”

Luo Feng nodded slightly.

He understood this well. In the universe, the classification of identities, the existence of the slave system, and so on, all meant that among the countless human races in the universe, various systems were designed for ‘competition’ and ‘selecting’ the strong. The strong could attain high status and treatment, while the weak suffered terribly.

“The Devourer is powerful, but it’s only one. We can resist it,” Hong said gravely. “But if a large force from the universe sends even a single interstellar fleet, we wouldn’t have the power to resist at all.”

Thunder God also nodded, “There’s only one thing we can do… become stronger! Only then can we protect our home!”

Luo Feng felt a heavy weight in his heart.

He knew even more than Hong and Thunder God. In the universe, the fate of native planets was often tragic—these things were common occurrences. In the universe… occasionally, some strong individuals emerged from native planets, fighting to protect their own planet’s race and home!

“Luofeng, you wouldn’t want Earth to suffer such a fate, would you?” Hong looked at Luo Feng.

“Do I need to say?” Luo Feng replied.

“So, Luofeng, train with us from now on. On Earth, in terms of martial artist talent, I won’t boast, but it’s really just Hong and me. And in terms of mentalist talent, naturally it’s you, Luofeng!” Thunder God looked at Luo Feng. “We three are the strongest on Earth, so we must unite even more.”

Hong also looked at Luo Feng.

Luo Feng smiled and nodded slightly.

“Haha!”

“Hahahaha!”

All three laughed.

Heroes admire each other. It’s said that masters are lonely because once they become invincible, there’s no one else to match them, so they naturally feel lonely. Just like after Hong and Thunder God fell into their slumber, Luo Feng was the strongest on Earth… truly, at that time, Luo Feng felt a sense of loneliness.

But with Hong and Thunder God awakening, Luo Feng was genuinely happy from the bottom of his heart.

Finally, there were companions on the path forward!

“Luofeng, from today on, you’re the third brother!” Hong laughed joyfully.

“Little Three, Little Three,” Thunder God teased with a grin. “I’m tired. Let’s return to the palace.”

“Little Two, pour some wine. My lord will give you a tip,” Luo Feng also joked, looking at Thunder God.

…

“Training is a difficult path. Only with mutual help and frequent sparring can one progress faster,” Hong said.

Thunder God nodded in agreement.

“Their comprehension is high, but Earthlings’ genetic potential is truly mediocre,” Babata exclaimed. “Moreover, they have no mentorship! It’s like groping in the dark! Without a mentor and good genes… all they have is their comprehension. I’d bet! It might take them ten or twenty years to reach Stellar Level 9! But breaking through from Stellar Level 9 to Starlord Level 1 is difficult, difficult, difficult! At the very least, fifty or sixty years!”

“Luofeng, your Origin World has already reached ‘Starlord Level 3,’ so your human form can continuously evolve. Although limited by Earthling talent, making it a bit slower. Still, you’ll progress much faster than them,” Babata said.

Luo Feng’s heart stirred, “Babata, our Yimo Star lineage also collected martial artist training manuals, right? Teach them to Hong and Thunder God.”

Without mentorship, even with talent, it’s hard to go far!

As fellow Earthlings, and among the three most outstanding individuals on Earth, Luo Feng hoped that Hong and Thunder God could keep up with his pace.

“How can that be done? These are the secret manuals of our Yimo Star lineage!” Babata immediately refused. “To pass on secrets is a capital offense.”

“Our Yimo Star lineage primarily specializes in mentalists,” Luo Feng said with a smile. “My mentor was also a mentalist, and the secret techniques he developed—such as ‘Soul Seal,’ ‘Six Radiance,’ ‘Tower of Void,’ and others—are all tailored for mentalists. Those martial arts techniques were likely just some external skills my teacher gathered along the way.”

“Uh… but still, they were painstakingly collected by your teacher,” Babata said. “They can’t be passed on outside. If not a disciple of Yimo Star, absolutely no transmission.”

Luo Feng’s mind kept conversing with Babata.

But Babata refused… Luo Feng finally understood that when an AI life form becomes stubborn, it’s impossible to persuade.

“What if we take Hong and Thunder God as disciples of Yimo Star?” Luo Feng asked.

“Oh?” Babata’s eyes widened, and he nodded immediately. “That works.”

“Uh—”

Luo Feng was somewhat surprised, “That was too quick.”

“Accepting disciples, take them as disciples. Luo Feng, you should do it quickly. They’re absolutely outstanding disciples! Being able to have their own domain at the Stellar Level! I even cried when I thought they had perished. Fortunately, they’ve awakened. Such geniuses, two great talents, would be fought over in the universe!” Babata continued, although the Yimo Star lineage’s master was a mentalist.

But a faction can’t consist solely of mentalists. Even the immortal servants under the Yimo Star master were mostly immortal martial artists!

…

In the reception room.

“What’s so serious?” Thunder God glared at Luo Feng, while Hong listened carefully.

“It’s like this. I once inherited a lineage, which includes training methods for mentalists and martial artists,” Luo Feng said solemnly. Hong and Thunder God were immediately overjoyed. Luo Feng continued, “However, our lineage strictly forbids passing on secrets externally, and I can’t go against that. So, I’d like to ask, would you like to join my lineage?”

“What force?” Hong asked, “What are the conditions?”

“What sect?” Thunder God also asked, “What are the rules?”

“Right now, this sect only has me left,” Luo Feng said.

“Pfft!” Thunder God glared, “Why didn’t you say so earlier? If it’s only you left, I thought joining would mean being treated as a subordinate or a pawn! Since it’s a sect with only you, of course I’ll join!”

“Yes, I’ll join,” Hong also smiled. “By the way, what sect?”

“My lineage belongs to the Yimo Star lineage,” Luo Feng also smiled. “In the future, don’t publicly claim to be from the ‘Yimo Star lineage,’ since the entire Yimo Star was destroyed by enemies. So, announcing the name would be asking for death.”

Thunder God and Hong looked at each other.

The sect’s base was destroyed?

Great news!

“What great news,” Thunder God praised with a smile. “This means we have no restrictions anymore.”

Hong also smiled slightly.

“Damn it, two damn fools. Disrespecting the sect, they deserve punishment!” Babata, within the intelligent space, was both angry and helpless.
