At 11:36 PM on January 8, 2059, according to China Standard Time, it was daytime in the Fog Island region of the Australian continent.
Peng!
From a vast white lake, Luo Feng burst out of the water and hovered midair.
“It’s been nearly three days without seeing the sun,” Luo Feng tilted his head to gaze at the blue sky and the flocks of avian beasts flying in the distance, then looked down at the lake below. “Three days, and the Mu Ya Crystals must nearly be fully searched out. The first day yielded the most, the second day far fewer, and today, on the third day, I’ve only found two.”
Still, in reflection, his gains over the past three days were quite impressive.
First, he had been lucky, once obtaining three at once.
Second, as a Cosmic-level Psychokineticist, his search efficiency ranked among the top three of everyone. Combining these two factors, Luo Feng alone had personally obtained five Mu Ya Crystals over the last three days! If including those seized in cooperation with Iceberg, Yaorao, and other elite guards, the number was even greater.
“Luofeng,” the curator’s voice came through the communication watch. Over the past three days, Luo Feng had kept his communication watch connected with the curator and others.
“Curator,” Luo Feng responded promptly.
“Come to my current location.”
“Yes.”
Luo Feng confirmed the curator’s location through the communication watch. “Hmm? It’s actually more than 2,000 meters underground, at one of the underground rivers.”
Swoosh!
Luo Feng immediately dove downward, breaking through the lake surface and rapidly descending underground.
…
More than 2,000 meters underground, at a section of the surging, wide underground river.
The black-clad man ‘Hong,’ along with his three elite guards wearing golden masks—Yaorao, Beast, and Iceberg—were all present. Even some of the other Inspectors from the Limit Martial Arts Gym were there. “Peng!” The stone ceiling cracked open, and Luo Feng fell through, landing on the lake surface and immediately hovering upright before swiftly flying over.
“Curator,” Luo Feng called out.
“Hmm, let’s wait a bit. Not everyone has arrived yet,” Hong nodded slightly, his gaze on Luo Feng revealing a hint of satisfaction…
This time, on the side of the Limit Martial Arts Gym, Hong, the strongest warrior in the world, had obtained the most. Second only to him was Luo Feng!
Luo Feng’s reputation had soared during the Mu Ya Crystal struggle. All the Cosmic-level warriors on Earth were well aware… Luo Feng’s current strength had already reached the second tier! He was now on the same level as the Third Councilor, Fourth Councilor, and Fifth Councilor. This level of strength was indeed terrifying.
Among those three councilors, the Third and Fifth Councilors were both Cosmic-level Stage Three warriors, while the Fourth Councilor, ‘Ister,’ was a Cosmic-level Stage Two Psychokineticist!
Under the Limit Martial Arts Gym, having a capable general like Luo Feng was something Hong was very pleased about.
“Hu.”
Another figure flew over—it was one of the Limit Gym’s Inspectors, ‘Liu He.’ “Curator,” Liu He respectfully saluted the curator before flying toward Luo Feng and the others, jokingly scolding, “Luo Feng, you’ve made a fortune this time. The rest of us four Inspectors didn’t earn nearly as much as you did.”
“Luck, just luck,” Luo Feng chuckled.
This time, the curator had initially brought only Luo Feng, Yaorao, and Iceberg. Later, he had summoned ‘Beast’ to come as well. The other five Inspectors had not been dispatched…
However—
Once news of the Mu Ya Crystals gradually spread, the other five Inspectors from the Limit Gym learned how precious the crystals were. Knowing that more than half of Earth’s Cosmic-level warriors had gathered at the Fog Island lake, Liu He, Vladimir, and others quickly flew over in fighter jets.
But having missed the first wave of excavation opportunities, Liu He and others indeed gained very little.
“Alright, everyone is here now,” Hong looked at his three elite guards and the six Inspectors, immediately forming a soundproof barrier around the space.
“This time, our Limit Gym has gained a lot.”
Hong rarely showed a smile. “As I mentioned earlier, whoever discovers a Mu Ya Crystal will receive 30% of it once it is successfully obtained. Those who obtain a crystal through combat will also receive 30%, with the remaining 40% going to the Gym.”
“Beast, you discovered and obtained one alone, so you get 60%, which counts as 0.6. You participated in three group battles, and based on your different contributions in each, you earned a total of 1.2 crystals. Therefore, you will receive 1.8 Mu Ya Crystals,” Hong explained.
“Yes, Curator,” the elite guard ‘Beast’ replied respectfully.
“Yaorao… in total, you will receive 1.6 Mu Ya Crystals.”
“Iceberg… in total, you will receive 2.2 Mu Ya Crystals.”
“Liu He… in total, you will receive 0.3 Mu Ya Crystals.”
…
According to their contributions, each person’s share was calculated.
“Finally, there’s Luo Feng, who gained the most this time. He personally obtained four crystals alone, which counts as 60%, or 2.4 crystals. He participated in four group battles, and based on his different contributions, he earned a total of 2.1 crystals. Therefore, he will receive 4.5 crystals in total.” After Hong finished speaking, he began distributing the Mu Ya Crystals.
For example, Luo Feng first handed over the crystals and then was allocated four Mu Ya Crystals.
Yaorao received one.
Iceberg received two.
…
“Each Mu Ya Crystal, I can offer you a quote of ’20 Star Points!'” Hong said solemnly. “For example, Luo Feng, you currently have four Mu Ya Crystals in your possession, and you have an additional 0.5 on your account. That means… you have 10 Star Points remaining! Of course, you can also exchange your Mu Ya Crystals for Star Points.”
“Everyone else is the same.”
“When we return to headquarters, you can exchange the remaining crystals into ‘Star Points’ and then purchase items from me,” Hong said.
Upon hearing Hong’s words, the three elite guards and six Inspectors all smiled.
“Luo Feng, you really struck it rich this time. One Mu Ya Crystal equals 20 Star Points, and with 4.5 crystals, that’s 90 Star Points! You could even buy a ‘Primordial-Level Intelligent Fighter Jet,'” Liu He chuckled. “As for me, I only got 0.3 crystals, which is just 6 Star Points. Compared to you…”
“Luck, just luck,” Luo Feng humbly replied with a smile.
In reality, he had obtained five Mu Ya Crystals alone, not four.
This time, while many details about the Mu Ya Crystal search were public, there were also instances where someone secretly obtained crystals without anyone else knowing. Luo Feng had obtained five Mu Ya Crystals alone, four of which were discovered by others, but one was not noticed by anyone else, so Luo Feng naturally kept it hidden.
In fact, this was an unwritten rule.
If something was not noticed by anyone, one might as well hide it… Hong understood this principle well. After all, demanding 40% from those who obtained crystals alone was already quite harsh.
“Now, the Mu Ya Crystals in the underground of Fog Island Lake are probably all gone,” Hong looked at the others. “Our collective search ends here. Those who want to go back can go back, and those who want to continue searching for luck can stay. Whatever you find from now on will belong entirely to you. However, the underground around here has been almost completely searched, so don’t hold too much hope.”
“Yes, Curator.”
Luo Feng and the others exchanged a few words before dispersing.
Liu He and others who arrived late were unwilling to give up and wanted to continue searching, while ‘Beast’ was preparing to return to headquarters.
“You guys go ahead. I’m not in a hurry.”
“Luofeng, of course you’re not in a hurry since you’ve made a fortune. Well, we’ll go search first.”
After saying goodbye to Liu He and others, Luo Feng dove directly underground, reaching a depth of more than 3,000 meters below the lake, where he used his psychokinetic power to create a cave.
Using his auxiliary brain.
“Hello.”
Luo Feng called Xu Xin. Nowadays, the Earth’s communication system was indeed advanced. Except for special areas like the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins, even deep underground or in the magma layer, one could easily receive signals! This was a major benefit from the ancient civilization ruins.
“Luofeng, you finally thought of calling me. Tell me, what have you been doing?” On the video screen of the auxiliary brain, Xu Xin was wrapped in a bathrobe, her hair still wet.
“These past few days, I’ve been in Australia,” Luo Feng smiled.
“Oh? I heard that recently, countries around the world and the HR Alliance have gone to Australia. By the way, what exactly are you doing? My grandfather wanted to find out some news, but this information is classified as SSS-level within the HR Alliance, and even my grandfather couldn’t access it,” Xu Xin’s face was full of curiosity.
“We’re fighting over a treasure called the Mu Ya Crystal,” Luo Feng said.
“Mu Ya Crystal? What is it used for?” Xu Xin asked, puzzled.
“I don’t know either. All I know is that this thing is an invaluable treasure. If you really want to compare it in terms of money, even a large passenger aircraft wouldn’t be worth a single Mu Ya Crystal,” Luo Feng strolled through the cave, walking as he spoke.
“What? That’s impossible, right?” Xu Xin was shocked.
“That’s right. Your entire Xu family’s assets combined wouldn’t match even one Mu Ya Crystal,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Goodness,” Xu Xin finally understood why even her Xu family’s clan leader didn’t have the qualifications to access the information.
Luo Feng wasn’t lying either.
The price Hong set was one Mu Ya Crystal for ’20 Star Points.’ considering that a single dose of dragon’s blood was worth 1 Star Point, and a single dose of dragon’s blood cost 80 billion, one could imagine the value of a Mu Ya Crystal. However, for various countries, the Mu Ya Crystal was a strategic item more important than nuclear weapons! It couldn’t be measured in money!
No one would use this thing to exchange for money!
It was beyond the entire world’s economic system. In fact, in terms of price… the ’20 Star Points’ Hong set was actually quite low, but with dozens of Mu Ya Crystals suddenly appearing on Earth, Hong had no choice but to set a relatively low price.
“One Mu Ya Crystal is worth more than our entire family’s assets,” Xu Xin was overwhelmed by the revelation.
“Surprised? This time in the struggle for the Mu Ya Crystals, more than 20 warrior experts died! Three council members died too! Without the ‘Elixir of Life,’ the number of council members who perished would have exceeded ten!” Luo Feng, as if trying to scare Xu Xin further, added another shocking piece of news.
“Council members, beings surpassing warriors? Three of them fell?” Xu Xin was deeply shocked by this news.
Meanwhile, deep underground in the cave, Luo Feng was strolling while watching Xu Xin’s astonished expression on the auxiliary brain video. Seeing his girlfriend’s expression was quite an amusing experience.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, as Luo Feng walked through the cave, he felt a sharp pain in his foot!
“What’s going on?” Cold sweat instantly broke out on Luo Feng’s back and forehead, and in an instant, he moved dozens of meters away. He was a Cosmic-level Psychokineticist, wearing an SS-grade combat boot on his foot, which even had a layer of Black God armor inside! Under such protection, what kind of attack could cause his foot to hurt?
And he hadn’t sensed it at all.
“What is it?” Luo Feng scanned the area with his psychokinetic power.
Within the range of his psychokinetic power scan.
At the spot where Luo Feng had stood when his foot hurt, a piece of rock had something embedded in it.
“What is this?” Holding his breath, Luo Feng walked over.
He reached out and picked up the pure blood-red shard embedded in the rock. As soon as he held it in his hand, it was incredibly heavy! Just a piece the size of his palm, but according to Luo Feng’s perception, it weighed a full ton. Its density surpassed any material on Earth.
The blood-red shard had a sharp blade edge on one side!
This ‘blade’ had been stuck in the rock for who knows how many years, and just now, when Luo Feng stepped over it… his foot hurt.
“Goodness.”
Luo Feng looked at the hole in the sole of his foot, completely stunned.
“This… this… this…” Luo Feng stammered, his face turning red.
“This is an SS-grade combat boot!”
What did an SS-grade combat boot mean? It meant it could withstand attacks from King-level monsters generally. It would only crack after being hit repeatedly by King-level monster attacks! For example, the ‘Drill Mountain Cone’ could only drill through SS-grade material armor when Luo Feng manipulated it with twelve strands of psychokinetic power.
Otherwise—
Even if you held the Drill Mountain Cone, a warrior couldn’t damage an SS-grade combat suit.
“Goodness.”
“I didn’t use any force at all, just walking, and one step over it, it cut through my SS-grade combat boot?” Luo Feng held the blood-red blade fragment in his hand. Just holding it, Luo Feng felt a strange chill… it seemed as if that sharp blade could cut through anything.
“How sharp is it?” Luo Feng quickly took off his combat boot.
Holding the blade fragment in his right hand.
Swish!
He easily swung the blade fragment.
Puh! Puh! Puh! It was like cutting through tofu. The SS-grade combat boot was sliced into pieces, as if there was no resistance at all.
“I didn’t even use much force, probably just ten tons of strength, and it easily cut through SS-grade material.”
“If I used my full strength, slicing through a beast emperor’s defense would be easy too.”
Thinking of this, Luo Feng’s heart trembled.
He looked at the blade fragment in his hand as if he had seen a ghost. This was an incredible weapon! It was countless times more powerful than the ‘Drifting Sky Needle.’ Just a fragment of the weapon could cut through SS-grade material like tofu!
The weapon’s power was too great.
This weapon was likely enough to threaten beast emperors, and could even threaten Hong and Thunder God.
“No.”
“This weapon is too terrifying. It absolutely cannot be exposed for now. Once it is exposed… no matter how much they value me, Hong and Thunder God would never allow such an incredible weapon to remain in my hands,” Luo Feng was well aware of this. This was definitely the strongest weapon on Earth right now! An unimaginable weapon!
“This, whose weapon could this be?”
“And how did it break?”
Luo Feng carefully ran his fingers over the blood-red blade fragment, and he could faintly sense an ancient aura emanating from it… an aura that had been silent for who knows how many years.
