Since the Great Nirvana Era, the oceans have always belonged to the monsters! The Earth’s oceans cover a far greater area than its land, and these boundless seas have given birth to countless terrifying creatures! It could be said that if a person were thrown into the ocean, even if they were an expert swimmer, within mere seconds, they would be devoured until nothing but bones remained!
In the Pacific Ocean, at a depth of more than 3,000 meters.
A massive black egg, oval in shape, floated silently and motionless. About twelve minutes after it had fallen into this region, a fish-like beast measuring seven or eight meters long, covered in blue scales, swam near the egg. Circling it slowly, the beast, possessing a rudimentary intelligence, seemed to suspect that this egg before it was not just a stone.
Suddenly—
The fish-like monster opened its enormous mouth. Rows of large, sharp teeth lined its jaw, with inner and outer rows interlocking like saw blades. It lunged forward and bit down fiercely onto the black egg!
“Crack!”
The monstrous fish shook its head in pain. Blood trickled from its mouth, and several broken teeth fell loose. Its bite force was astonishing—enough to crush underwater rocks into powder. Even the corpse of a Lord-class monster wouldn’t have caused its teeth to break like this!
Frightened, the blue-scaled beast flicked its tail and let out a sharp cry before swiftly darting away.
Yet the black egg remained still, its shell dark and laced with mysterious golden patterns. The terrifying bite had left not even a scratch.
…
On Earth, life continued as usual for humanity.
Since Luo Feng and Xu Xin had officially become a couple, especially now during the summer vacation when Xu Xin had no classes, the young couple often traveled around the world. Each morning and evening was Luo Feng’s time for training, while the afternoons were reserved for spending with Xu Xin.
After lunch, the two could travel to any city base in China within minutes by boarding an intelligent combat aircraft.
…
On the morning of August 26th, in the private training hall of the Limit Gym on the first floor of the Mingyue Community in Yangzhou City.
Sitting cross-legged on the Void-Traveling Shuttle, floating midair.
“The third diagram,” Luo Feng murmured, his mind clearly visualizing a complex, maze-like pattern. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Thirteen blade fragments whirled rapidly around his body, following the trajectory of the pattern in his mind. Since the pattern contained many intersections, the blades often narrowly missed each other.
“Slower.”
“Faster, even faster.”
“Oops, brake!”
Sweat beaded on Luo Feng’s forehead. One of the blades suddenly stopped mid-flight, while three others passed just in front of, behind, and to the side of it.
“Accelerate.”
“Done!”
Luo Feng suddenly opened his eyes, glancing at the communicator watch on his left wrist. The timer on the watch was rapidly ticking.
“5.11 seconds? It’s slow, but at least it’s the first time I’ve successfully completed the entire third diagram.”
“But in the middle, I had to brake and stop, which cost me at least a few tenths of a second, making this result too poor.”
“My time was 5.11 seconds, but the passing standard is 3.6 seconds.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but shake his head.
The further he progressed, the harder it became to reduce the time. Though the difference between 5.11 seconds and 4.8 seconds seemed small, the difficulty gap was enormous. As for the qualified time of 3.6 seconds, it felt almost unreachable for Luo Feng now. The path ahead was long, and he could only advance step by step.
“Again!” Luo Feng closed his eyes and tried once more.
Each attempt only took a few seconds!
Luo Feng practiced the Celestial God Diagram thousands of times every morning. In fact, his entire morning was almost entirely dedicated to training this diagram. After each session, he would feel completely exhausted. In the evenings, he focused on physical conditioning, sword techniques, and movement skills.
…
The sun had risen high, about ten o’clock in the morning, and Luo Feng was still immersed in his training. His powerful mental energy allowed him to train continuously, the only fatigue being mental. After all, maintaining such intense concentration for thousands of sessions every morning would wear out even an Invincible Warrior without sufficient willpower.
To gain strength…
Talent was important, but perseverance was even more crucial!
“Hmm?” Luo Feng opened his eyes and looked outside the training hall through the window.
A deep-blue disc-shaped aircraft was slowly descending from the sky, finally landing on a lawn in the Mingyue Community. The gym’s director, Wu Tong, was leading a group of martial artists to greet someone. The aircraft’s hatch opened, and three people stepped out. Unfortunately, Luo Feng didn’t recognize any of them.
“Who are these three people coming to Mingyue Community?” Luo Feng, still seated cross-legged on the Void-Traveling Shuttle, frowned slightly. “They must be someone important if they can ride such a warcraft.”
“Since Wu Tong didn’t notify me to meet them, they probably aren’t that important.”
Luo Feng was currently the Inspector of the Jiangnan Base City, and his strength had reached the level of an Invincible Warrior. Very few people were worthy of him personally going to greet them.
“Continue!”
Luo Feng closed his eyes again and resumed training the Celestial God Diagram. He knew clearly that his talent had propelled him like a rocket to the peak of High Warrior, but now that the dark golden sphere had shattered, breaking through from Warrior to a level beyond Warriors couldn’t rely on talent alone.
It had to be done step by step through relentless effort! Many High Warriors were stuck, unsure of how to proceed, but Luo Feng had discovered a path suitable for a Mentalist—
The Celestial God Diagram!
Though it required countless repetitions, each small improvement brought him one step closer to a breakthrough.
“Beep! Beep! Beep!”
Not knowing how many times he had trained, his communicator watch suddenly rang.
“Phew!” Luo Feng opened his eyes and looked at the communicator. “The alarm went off. It’s already 11:45. Time to go back for lunch.”
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The Void-Traveling Shuttle immediately transformed into countless curved blades, each one entering the black armor on Luo Feng’s back from his neck in a line. Luo Feng himself landed on the ground.
“Hmm?” Luo Feng’s gaze swept over the punch power tester. “It’s been half a month since I last tested my physical strength. Let me try it out!”
When this private training hall was first built, Luo Feng had tested himself once.
However—
After consuming the ‘Dragon Blood’ and ‘Thousand-Year Willow Heart,’ Luo Feng had only absorbed part of their power. A great deal of the Dragon Blood energy and the life force from the Willow Heart still remained dormant inside him. As he trained, these energies were rapidly absorbed, so his recent progress had been astonishing!
“Punch Power!” Luo Feng activated the punch power tester.
“Boom!”
His fist, like a meteor, slammed into the target pad. The pad shook violently. This punch power tester, gifted by President Zhou and others, was a top-tier model.
“Beep!”
“239,881 KG” appeared on the screen.
Luo Feng smiled. “Not bad. I’m still a bit short of 256,000 KG. With another one or two months of training, I should reach it.” In recent months, his physical strength had improved remarkably. Even Hong had mentioned that after consuming the Dragon Blood and Thousand-Year Willow Heart, a massive amount of residual energy remained in Luo Feng’s body. He didn’t need to consume any other treasures—just training and absorbing that energy would bring astonishing improvements.
“Speed!”
Luo Feng activated the speed tester on the 80-meter runway.
Zoooom!
Luo Feng accelerated like lightning. His first step already broke into supersonic speeds, and he kept accelerating. After about eight or nine steps, he reached his limit. He became a blur, dashing past the speed tester before rapidly decelerating to a stop.
“583.6 meters per second?” Luo Feng muttered, “Not bad.”
As for neural reaction speed?
As a Mentalist, did he even need to test that? It was definitely at the peak level of High Warrior!
“In another one or two months, my physical strength will reach the High Warrior level.”
“In about two years, it should reach the peak of High Warrior.” Luo Feng, wearing loose training clothes, walked out of the training hall.
Click!
The training hall door automatically locked behind him.
“Inspector Luo.” A young man stood smiling in the corridor outside, bowing slightly. “The Commander is waiting for you in the meeting room nearby.”
“Commander? Which Commander?” Luo Feng asked in confusion.
He didn’t seem to know any Commander.
“The Commander of the Southeast Military Region.” The young man smiled.
“Let’s go.” Luo Feng nodded.
Inwardly, he was surprised… Each base city now had a military region around it, but generally, these were classified as ‘military sub-regions,’ such as the Northern Military Region of the Jiangnan Base City. However, the Southeast Military Region was different—it was established primarily to combat the sea monsters invading inland from the East Sea.
It was a major military region!
A major military region had several times more troops than a sub-region, not to mention vastly superior weaponry.
…
Inside the meeting room.
As Luo Feng stepped into the room, he immediately saw the three people inside. A middle-aged man with a few strands of white hair sat upright, his sharp eyes like a leopard’s. Beside him was another middle-aged man wearing glasses. The third person was Wu Tong, the gym’s director.
“Hello, Mr. Luo Feng.” The middle-aged man stood up, and the bespectacled man beside him also smiled and rose.
“Hello.” Luo Feng replied, slightly puzzled.
Still, he felt a sense of goodwill… because he recognized the three people who had arrived earlier in the disc-shaped aircraft. They had been here for nearly two hours but had not disturbed his training, choosing instead to wait patiently. For that alone, he owed them some courtesy.
“Mr. Luo Feng,” Wu Tong smiled beside him. “Let me introduce. This is General Li Dawei, Commander of the Southeast Military Region. Beside him is Deputy Commander Wang Luohan.”
Luo Feng nodded.
As Commander of the Southeast Military Region, General Li held the rank of Army General, the highest military rank in the current Hua Xia Nation!
In contrast, the commander of a typical military sub-region, such as the Northern Military Region of the Jiangnan Base City, held the rank of Army Major General. From the ranks alone, one could imagine the vast difference in power between a major military region and a sub-region!
To command the Southeast Military Region… General Li Dawei was undoubtedly a top-tier military leader in the Hua Xia military!
This top-tier military leader had come in person and was willing to wait for nearly two hours without interrupting Luo Feng’s training.
