“An elite warrior at the peak of the Spiritualist? Indeed, he’s extraordinary.” General Li had started observing this legendary genius the moment Luo Feng entered the room. Luo Feng before him wore a simple training suit, beads of sweat on his forehead, and an invisible force faintly radiating outward from him like the aura of an ultimate ferocious beast.
This caused both General Li and Vice General Wang to feel inner shock.
What they didn’t know was that Luo Feng had practiced the ‘Celestial Ruin Chart’ thousands of times that morning, leaving him exhausted, so his spiritual power wasn’t perfectly contained, leaking out significantly.
“I’ll take my leave now,” Wutong smiled.
“Thank you, Master Wutong.”
Li Dawei and Wang Luohan watched Wutong leave. Although Li Dawei and his companion held high ranks, Wutong was under the ‘Limitless Martial Arts Academy,’ and the Chinese military maintained a friendly relationship with Limitless.
“General Li, Vice General Wang, let’s sit and talk,” Luo Feng smiled as he sat down.
Li Dawei and Wang Luohan also smiled and sat.
Li Dawei said, “I’ve long heard of Mr. Luo Feng’s reputation. I even saw you from afar in the Warrior Palace. But meeting you face to face now, I realize you’re even more impressive than when I saw you at the Warrior Palace.”
“If you keep praising me like this, I might just fly off,” Luo Feng laughed.
“That’s not praise, it’s admiration!” General Li exclaimed. “I’m sixty-two and only a mid-tier warrior. My life has peaked. Yet according to our military intelligence, you once single-handedly defeated four elite warriors: Phantom Kartlan, Blood Shadow Ivan, Giant Bear Kaita, and Vulture Li Yao. Three of these four even possessed the ‘Black God Armor’… This feat is simply astounding. The upper echelons of Limitless Martial Arts Academy calling you the ‘Invincible Warrior’ is truly befitting of your strength. As a martial artist myself, I genuinely admire you, Mr. Luo Feng.”
Hearing these words, Luo Feng didn’t let it go to his head.
Truthfully, hearing such praise, especially from someone of General Li’s stature in the Southeast Military District, did bring a sense of joy. But it must be said that Luo Feng hadn’t been immersed in the political arena. To reach the position of a military district commander, besides having capability, one must also know how to deal with people.
With just a few simple words, Li Dawei managed to make Luo Feng feel a sense of liking towards him.
After all, Li Dawei and Wang Luohan clearly knew—although they held high positions within the Chinese military, Li Dawei being a military district commander and holding the rank of Lieutenant General, Luo Feng was a ‘Supervisor’ of Limitless Martial Arts Academy. Limitless Martial Arts Academy was the strongest and most elite force on Earth, holding a position of supremacy! Although it hadn’t established a nation, none of the five major powers dared provoke it, instead preferring to cultivate relations.
They wanted to ask Luo Feng for help, so naturally they had to flatter him a bit and put him in a good mood; otherwise, if Luo Feng simply drove them away… even though they were high-ranking military officials, they wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.
“Mr. Luo Feng, if you don’t mind, I’ll take the liberty to call you Luo Feng, and you can just call me Li Dawei, Old Li, or Brother Li,” General Li smiled.
“Haha, I’ll just call you Old Li then,” Luo Feng smiled. “Old Li, this time you’ve come here, so just tell me what you need.”
In fact, in an email from Limitless Martial Arts Academy to Luo Feng regarding the responsibilities of a ‘Supervisor,’ it had already explained what a Supervisor needed to do and the situations they might face… So Luo Feng had a vague idea of the purpose of these two men’s visit.
“Alright, I’ll be straightforward,” Li Dawei’s expression slightly turned serious. “Although human society has powerful martial artists and laser cannons, the monster clans are too strong!”
“I’m not trying to belittle our strength! When it comes to the number of strong monsters, even the land-based monsters outnumber us humans by a large margin,” Li Dawei shook his head in sigh. “If it weren’t for the deterrent of our laser cannons, how could human society live safely within the city bases?”
Luo Feng slightly furrowed his brow and listened silently.
“Humans and land monsters have reached a stalemate!”
“We don’t use laser cannons against King-level monsters. And King-level monsters won’t participate in attacks on city bases! There’s an unspoken understanding between both sides,” Li Dawei lamented. “Actually, this tacit understanding was established back then when your master, Hong, negotiated with the King-level monsters.”
Luo Feng was taken aback.
Negotiations between humans and monsters? Hong negotiated with them?
“The land monster clans and the sky monster clans haven’t clashed too severely with us. Last year, our country experienced one Level 1 beast tide, six Level 2 tides, and twenty-one Level 3 tides. All of these were within China’s capacity to endure,” Li Dawei said casually.
Luo Feng secretly felt shocked…
These figures were classified, and Luo Feng hadn’t known about them. He hadn’t expected the nation to endure such attacks every year.
“The most dangerous threat to our homeland still comes from the sea monsters,” Li Dawei’s expression turned grave. “The powerful sea monsters reside deep in the ocean, beyond the reach of even our laser cannons. Moreover, the number of sea monsters far exceeds that of land and aerial monsters combined. How could they possibly be subdued through negotiations?”
“And—when human warriors enter the sea, their strength probably drops to only two or three tenths of their land-based power. We simply can’t launch offensive operations,” Li Dawei shook his head.
Luo Feng nodded silently.
Indeed, a human’s strength was greatly diminished underwater. Even a lake like Fog Island had nearly been his doom. Let alone the vast ocean. At present, humans simply couldn’t launch offensive operations against sea monsters in the ocean depths.
“We can only defend passively,” Li Dawei’s face showed a trace of sorrow. “Sea monsters can travel up rivers into inland areas! Sea monsters possess strange abilities, and with enough numbers, they can even carve their own waterways! Therefore, we humans cannot allow them to invade unchecked. We must rely on geographical advantages, laser cannons, and military forces to resist them!”
“There’s been heavy losses,” Li Dawei shook his head.
“Even if we kill tens of millions or hundreds of millions of sea monsters at once, the seas probably birth countless new monsters every day. The sea monsters themselves engage in constant infighting, with the strong devouring the weak. Every day, many die from internal conflicts. Whether we kill them or not, it has no real impact on the overall sea monster population,” Li Dawei sounded helpless.
Luo Feng also felt helpless.
Indeed—
The monsters also kill each other, with the strong consuming the weak. The sea monsters killed by humans have no real impact on the overall sea monster population.
“That’s why I’m asking you, Luo Feng, to occasionally help our Southeast Military District deal with some of the more powerful sea monsters when the critical moments arise. Don’t worry… King-level monsters won’t dare enter inland rivers. Our laser cannons are waiting for them,” Li Dawei quickly added.
A single Invincible Warrior…
In battles against monsters, can sometimes be more effective than a hundred thousand troops!
“Alright, I accept,” Luo Feng didn’t hesitate at all.
Humanity’s war against the monsters was a battle for survival, and he should step in when needed!
“Thank you!” Li Dawei expressed his gratitude.
An Invincible Warrior… and also a Spiritualist!
In sea monster tides without King-level participation, he would be more effective than ten laser cannons!
” Luo Feng, according to our tradition, the military will confer upon you the rank of Major General in the Army. Although it doesn’t carry much real authority, it does represent status and standing. In the future, when you visit military installations, it will also reduce many inconveniences,” General Li smiled. “This rank is quite good too; even the commander of a military district is only a Major General.”
“Haha… Old Li, to tell you the truth, I once considered applying to a military academy when I took the college entrance exam,” Luo Feng laughed.
“Oh, then why didn’t you join a military academy? Otherwise, a talent like you could have been in our military district,” Li Dawei quickly replied.
“Fate is unpredictable,” Luo Feng smiled and shook his head.
He had wanted to join a military academy but failed, and instead became a Major General in the Army!
It is noteworthy that navies had long since vanished from the modern world. As for air forces, one merely needed to glance at the exorbitant cost of a single fighter jet to understand why their scale was fated to remain minuscule. Thus, the armies stood as the undisputed sovereigns of national militaries. Within such forces, the rank of Major General truly represented a pinnacle of martial prestige.
” Luo Feng, as a Major General in the army, although you don’t have much real power, according to tradition, with your strength as an ‘Invincible Warrior,’ you are entitled to a personal guard of 900 people,” Li Dawei said.
“Oh, a personal guard of 900 people? What about the supervisor of the Thunder Martial Arts Academy?” Luo Feng asked with a smile.
“He has a personal guard of 500 people,” both Li Dawei and Wang Luohan, who had been silent beside him, laughed.
They all knew clearly that Limitless Martial Arts Academy and Thunder Martial Arts Academy had always been competing with each other. Both academies were widespread throughout the world, with their headquarters—one ranked first in the world, the other second. Both had risen rapidly during the Great Nirvana era! And Thunder was even hailed as the fastest and strongest in the world.
Perhaps in terms of strength, he might not match Hong, but he was clearly the one closest to Hong.
…
With just that conversation, Luo Feng became a Major General in the Chinese Army, with a personal guard of 900 people. Of course, his responsibility was—to assist the Southeast Military District in resisting sea monster attacks at critical moments!
…
Time passed day by day, drawing closer and closer to September 1st. On the evening of September 1st, the main branch of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy in the central city would hold a grand banquet to welcome the new Supervisor.
On the evening of August 31st.
In the audio-visual room, the wall-mounted screen displayed a video call from Xu Xin.
” Luo Feng, tell me, do I look good in this? Is this outfit appropriate for the banquet?” On the screen, Xu Xin was wearing a light yellow evening gown.
“Not bad,” Luo Feng nodded with a slight smile.
“Why do you always say ‘not bad’?” Xu Xin on the screen looked a bit annoyed. “Now, you can only answer with one of three options—’not good,’ ‘okay,’ or ‘very good.'”
Luo Feng scratched his nose and smiled. “Alright, this one… feels okay. Not as good as the purple one you wore earlier.”
“Oh, I’ll try the next one,” Xu Xin ran off-screen excitedly.
Suddenly, the communicator on Luo Feng’s wrist beeped—Ding! Ding!
“Hmm?”
“An email?” Luo Feng immediately pressed a button with his finger, opening the email. The subject was—《Notice to Depart for the Ancient Civilization Ruins》.
