After Captain Gao Feng’s words, Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu were stunned by their leader’s vast network, yet they still nodded in agreement. They were well aware that the Firehammer Team’s strength would surge rapidly in the future. If they failed to keep pace, then… at some point, they would inevitably be left behind.
Afterwards, Luo Feng and his group parted ways at the HR Alliance Mall and took trains back to their homes.
…
Yangzhou City, Mingyue Community.
It was already deep into the night when a specially designated SUV from the Limit Gymnasium – a Volkswagen Touareg – entered the community without any obstruction.
“Beep!”
The Touareg parked directly in front of the Limit Gymnasium, where Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, and Luo Feng’s families had already gathered, along with many others including the Limit Gymnasium Director Wu Tong.
Luo Feng opened the car door and stepped out, immediately spotting his father, mother, and his younger brother in a wheelchair.
“Brother!” Luo Hua shouted first.
“Brother, Dad, Mom.” Luo Feng hugged his parents and then his younger brother. He could feel the joy of his parents and family. Nearby, Chen Gu and Zhang Ke were also reuniting with their loved ones. However, Zhang Ke’s wife and daughter were in tears.
Although they already knew Zhang Ke had lost his arm, they still cried.
“Wife, my dear daughter, I will always be with you from now on, always.” Zhang Ke showed no sadness on his face.
“Brother Zhang,” Luo Feng glanced over. Previously, the Tiger Fang Team had attacked the Firehammer Team due to his feud with Zhang Zehu, which was highly likely.
“Our gym’s three heroes have safely returned. It’s getting late, so everyone should rest well,” Director Wu Tong smiled. Immediately, everyone happily dispersed, and Luo Feng and his family returned home.
…
Back home, Luo Feng could completely relax. On the first day back, Luo Feng didn’t train at all but instead fully relaxed. Dressed in loose training clothes, he leisurely strolled around the community alone, his steps naturally light and free. He was completely at ease, both mentally and physically.
In the afternoon, the September sun was still scorching.
“Luo Feng, come to the gym,” Chen Gu called.
“Oh, I’ll be right there.”
Luo Feng immediately headed to the Limit Gymnasium.
In the small bar on the first floor of the Limit Gymnasium, the curtains on the floor-to-ceiling windows were drawn to block the sunlight. Luo Feng, Chen Gu, and Gao Feng were sitting together.
“Luo Feng, these are the two 9-series throwing knives you wanted.” Gao Feng smiled and handed over the package. “That’s 45 million credits. You rich guy should transfer the money right away. If you’re willing to give me a bit more commission, I certainly won’t mind.”
“9-series throwing knives?” Luo Feng immediately took the beautifully packaged box.
Opening the box, it was divided into two layers, each holding a black-handled and black-bladed throwing knife. Previously, Chen Gu and others had asked Gao Feng to help purchase genetic enhancement drugs, and Luo Feng had also asked the team leader to buy two 9-series throwing knives. Now, for Luo Feng, a good throwing knife was very important!
Whether it’s throwing knives or other weapons, the higher the price, the more outrageous it becomes!
Throwing knives, because of their small size and minimal material usage, are relatively cheaper. Even high lord-level monsters would find it difficult to destroy a 9-series throwing knife.
“Leader, 45 million has been transferred.” Luo Feng directly sent the money via his phone.
“Not even a bit extra for the commission.” Gao Feng said on purpose.
“Luo Feng, now that you’re so rich, why don’t you buy a good battle sword? A set of combat gear?” Chen Gu smiled, he had just received the genetic enhancement drugs and was in a great mood.
Luo Feng shook his head, “Throwing knives are lightweight and use minimal materials, so I can afford them. Battle swords, combat gear? A 9-series Blood Shadow Battle Sword costs a full 3 billion yuan. A set of 9-series combat gear is even more outrageously expensive, costing 12 billion yuan. How could I afford them?” The prices of weapons used by warrior-level, battle commander-level, and battle god-level are indeed very different.
I can only afford throwing knives!
Combat gear that can’t be torn even by lord-level monsters is expensive, which is understandable.
As for his own ‘advanced warrior-level’ physical strength, wearing 8-series or 9-series combat gear, if a lord-level monster claws at him, even if the combat gear isn’t damaged, the impact force would be enough to shatter his internal organs! It’s like a beggar wearing a dragon robe but not being a prince. Someone with only warrior-level physical strength wearing battle god-level combat gear… that’s just wasting the combat gear!
“Combat gear is way more expensive than throwing knives.” Gao Feng smiled, “Luo Feng makes sense. His current 5-series combat gear is sufficient relative to his physical strength.”
“Luo Feng.” Gao Feng spoke up.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng looked at his leader.
“Right now, Chen Gu, and the Wei brothers. The three of them are going to take the genetic enhancement drugs. It will take about a month for the effects of the drugs to fully kick in! And after their strength increases, they’ll need one or two months of training to adapt to their newfound power. So—we might need to take a break for two or three months, and then go back into the wilderness area.” Gao Feng said.
Chen Gu nodded.
“I understand.” Luo Feng smiled and nodded, “I’ll also take this opportunity to train hard. This trip to the wilderness area was very fruitful for me. I’ll spend time reflecting and contemplating after returning.”
“Right.” Gao Feng smiled and nodded, “When we meet again, let’s meet in the main city of the base area. It’s quite a detour for me to come to your place.”
“Alright.”
Luo Feng and Chen Gu both nodded.
The main city of the base area is the center of the entire base. It’s very convenient to get there from Yangzhou City or other satellite cities.
…
After bidding farewell to the leader, Luo Feng took the two throwing knives and went home.
That night.
In the martial arts training hall of Luo Feng’s home, there was a transparent glass panel about one meter in size in the center of the ceiling. The moonlight poured through the glass, illuminating the training hall. Sitting there, Luo Feng could even look up through the glass and see the infinite stars in the night sky.
“Whoosh~ whoosh~” The two black throwing knives slowly circled around Luo Feng’s body.
“My consciousness sea contains a dark golden sphere, which holds a vast amount of mental energy! However, my body isn’t strong enough to withstand a sufficient amount of mental energy,” Luo Feng thought slowly. “Now, what I need to do is find the fastest way to enhance my physical strength!”
“The stronger my body becomes, the stronger my mental energy will naturally be! Until one day, the dark golden sphere will be exhausted and dissipate!”
Then, Luo Feng began to diligently train according to the “Nine Thunder Blades” manual and the accompanying video tutorial.
The footwork “Light Flow,” the guiding technique “Nine Heavy Huyuan,” and the sword technique “Thunder Blade.”
He had already mastered the first level of Thunder Blade while in the wilderness area!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Late at night, in the martial arts hall, Luo Feng repeatedly slashed, swept, and struck with his sword. Each time he executed a sword technique, he used the method taught in the “Nine Thunder Blades” manual. Each slash contained two types of force, and each time, his muscles instantly released an additional hidden force.
While slashing, he simultaneously released an additional hidden force. This placed a significant strain on his bones, muscle cells, and more!
Exhausting!
After an hour and a half of continuous sword practice, Luo Feng was so tired he could barely move and sat cross-legged on the ground. The exertion from practicing the Nine Thunder Blades was actually very demanding on the body’s subtle parts! After resting for five minutes, Luo Feng then practiced the guiding technique “Nine Heavy Huyuan.” His exhausted body felt as if soaking in a hot spring, making him feel comfortably relaxed.
After honing his sword techniques and guiding techniques, finally—
Luo Feng began the most fundamental method of genetic primal energy cultivation, “Five Hearts Facing Heaven,” which even the world’s strongest martial artists must follow.
“Zhi zhi~~”
As soon as Luo Feng started cultivating, he felt as if every cell in his body was starving. The genetic primal energy he generated was immediately devoured. His cultivation speed increased by a noticeable margin every moment. Minute by minute… time passed, and Luo Feng became increasingly astonished. Eventually, every cell in his body became saturated, as if they were full and could no longer consume any more.
“The genetic primal energy I absorbed today is nearly twice as much as before!” Luo Feng was completely stunned.
“The manual said that the more proficient one becomes in practicing the Nine Thunder Blades, the more genetic primal energy one can absorb. I didn’t expect it to be this much!” Luo Feng hadn’t anticipated such an exaggeration; the manual also explained the principle.
No matter how hard a normal person trains, they only get exhausted when their muscles produce too much lactic acid. It’s the overall muscle fatigue! Many cells in the body aren’t even involved in the exercise, but Luo Feng’s Nine Thunder Blades technique instantly releases hidden force. This method of exertion is actually a deep-level body exertion, with every cell in the body participating.
It’s like when a person exercises a lot, their appetite increases.
When the body cells consume more energy, their “appetite” also increases, allowing them to consume more genetic primal energy!
“I’m only at the first level, and the absorption of genetic primal energy has already increased so much. How much faster will it be when I reach the ninth level? Not only will my cultivation speed increase, but the power of my sword techniques will also increase dramatically. No wonder it can make one the strongest martial artist on Earth, known as the fastest and strongest.” Luo Feng marveled.
Faster physical progress means what?
It means that the amount of mental energy Luo Feng can withstand will also increase rapidly!
…
From that day on, Luo Feng began to train himself nearly to his limits every day. He also discovered the best training method, which was to practice the “Light Flow” footwork while simultaneously swinging his sword! The speed didn’t need to be fast, but each step and sword movement had to be done with care and focus. When he was exhausted from footwork and sword techniques, he would then practice the guiding technique.
After the guiding technique practice, his physical strength recovered significantly.
He would then train his footwork and sword techniques again! After that, he would practice the guiding technique again!
Finally, he would practice genetic primal energy cultivation. This method was the most efficient! One complete cycle took about six hours. This was the fastest way Luo Feng had figured out to improve his physical strength!
…
In fact, psychokineticists have a lot of mental energy to assist their training, so their physical progress is naturally fast. Luo Feng was practicing the “ultimate” training method on Earth, the “Nine Thunder Blades,” so his progress was even more astonishing. Almost every day, Luo Feng was improving, and nearly a month had passed in the blink of an eye.
“Whoosh!” “Whoosh!” Each slash from Luo Feng caused sharp whistling sounds in the martial arts hall, and the force of the wind naturally dissipated when it touched the walls. This villa was specially built by the Limit Gymnasium, and the walls of the martial arts hall were naturally constructed with great care.
“Hmm? A call from the leader?”
Luo Feng walked over and answered the phone.
“Luofeng, about a month has passed. Chen Gu, Wei Tie, and Wei Qing have nearly completed their strength enhancement from the genetic drugs. I was wondering if we should meet up?” Gao Feng asked over the phone. Now, the strongest member of the Firehammer Team was actually Luo Feng, and in the future, his position would be even more solid.
So Gao Feng also wanted to hear Luo Feng’s opinion in advance.
“Sure, we haven’t seen each other in a while.” Luo Feng smiled and nodded. He had almost become obsessed with training this past month, but this rapid progress was indeed exhilarating.
“Alright, I think we should meet at the HR Alliance Mall. The service there is the best.” Gao Feng said. “What day do you think is good for us to meet?”
“Hmm…”
Suddenly, Luo Feng had an idea. He remembered what Xu Xin had said before—’I’ll be starting school in a few days, but during college, I’ll be working as a manager there on Saturdays and Sundays.’
“Leader, I think we should meet this Saturday.” Luo Feng suggested.
“Saturday? Alright, let’s meet this Saturday.”
