Chapter 174: The Coveted Delight

In recent times, the name “Luo Feng” from Mingyue Community had become so well-known that not only was it familiar to every household within the community itself, but even residents of surrounding neighborhoods near Lotus Pond Park had come to know of him.

Lotus Pond Park, located right next to Mingyue Community, was a public park open to all for free.

It was in this park that Luo Hua and Xiao Nan had their chance meeting. The park was bustling with activity and served as a hub for spreading news. Much of what was said about Luo Feng originated from here—rumors and legends about him…

First, it was said that a special triangular flying fighter jet was parked in Mingyue Community, supposedly purchased by Luo Feng. According to those who understood such matters, standard military fighter jets generally cost over ten billion yuan and were mass-produced. However, fighter jets capable of operating alone in the wilderness often cost over a hundred billion. Even among Warlords, only a few could afford such machines. This particular jet, which appeared unique, was likely even more expensive!

When residents of nearby communities considered the staggering sum of one hundred billion Huaxia yuan, they could hardly wrap their minds around it.

Second, it was rumored that Luo Feng had become an Inspector of the Jiangnan Base City branch of the Limit Combat Guild! What kind of position was an Inspector? It was even higher than that of a Guild Leader. Across the entire Jiangnan Base City, there were few with higher ranks. Even the city mayor and military generals treated him with utmost respect. Anyone of such a level was worthy of admiration!

Third, there were two well-known disabled individuals in Mingyue Community. One was Luo Hua, the younger brother of the prodigious martial artist Luo Feng. He had once attempted suicide by jumping into the lake in Lotus Pond Park over a failed relationship. His disability had been the subject of much gossip in the park for a long time. Yet, miraculously, he had recovered and grown both legs back!

The other disabled individual was Zhang Ke, a Warlord-ranked martial artist who had earned great admiration. However, many had seen Zhang Ke, who had once lost an arm, now with both arms fully restored. Later, news spread within Mingyue Community that both Luo Hua and Zhang Ke had been cured thanks to Luo Feng, who had provided them with extremely rare medicinal treatments that allowed severed limbs to regrow.

…

These three legends stirred endless discussions among the people.

Of course, many also envied the parents of Zhen Nan. Originally, Zhen Nan’s parents had opposed their daughter’s relationship, which had even led to Luo Hua’s suicide attempt. Yet now, they happily accepted Luo Hua as part of their family, and it was said that Luo Hua had even purchased a standalone villa for them in their neighborhood.

It was a turn of events that left people sighing in amazement. The parents were just ordinary people—no one could have imagined such a dramatic reversal of fortune.

However, everyone knew that…

All of this stemmed from one mysterious figure—Luo Feng! A mere nineteen years old, he had already reached the pinnacle of the Jiangnan Base City. On a global scale, he was a truly extraordinary figure. When people learned that Luo Feng still had no girlfriend, many in the surrounding areas couldn’t help but start thinking…

Even marrying Luo Feng’s younger brother brought such prestige.

If one could marry Luo Feng himself, it would bring blessings for generations to come.

…

Inside one of the training halls on the first floor of the Limit Combat Guild in Mingyue Community, Luo Feng, clad in training attire, sat cross-legged atop the Void-Gliding Shuttle, floating midair. Twelve blades whirled around him like bees, alternately slowing and accelerating, crisscrossing each other, often coming within a hair’s breadth of collision.

“Done!” Luo Feng’s face lit up with delight as the twelve blades halted midair.

He glanced down at his communication watch with the timer function—’3.08′ flickered briefly.

“Passed!”

“This second diagram of the Celestial God Chart is finally complete,” Luo Feng thought joyfully. “Time to start practicing the third diagram next.” Actually, his mental energy had been just shy of completing the second diagram, so it had taken him only a few days to succeed.

The third diagram, and those beyond, would be the true tests.

“Golden Thread Net!”

Luo Feng turned his gaze to a golden mass coiled in the corner of the training hall. Under his mental command, the golden net floated up and rapidly unfurled. Though it had appeared small when coiled, once spread out in the training hall, it was astonishingly large—8.3 meters long and 6.1 meters wide, composed of countless golden threads about five millimeters thick.

“Cover!” With a thought from Luo Feng, the golden net descended like a magic carpet toward the floor below.

“Wrap!” The golden net moved like a giant hand, enveloping a nearby strength-testing machine.

“Using the Golden Thread Net requires speed,” Luo Feng mused. “I need to be fast enough to trap Li Yao under it!” Clearly, the net’s speed was far slower compared to his flying daggers or the blades of the Void-Gliding Shuttle, due to its massive surface area and the resulting resistance.

…

Throughout the morning, Luo Feng remained in his personal training hall on the first floor of the Limit Combat Guild.

In fact, the Limit Combat Guild was usually quite spacious and rarely crowded with martial artists. Therefore, Guild Leader Zhou Zhengyong and the three managers had eagerly arranged for renovations and provided various training equipment, transforming one of the training halls into a space suitable even for a Warlord to train in.

This hall had since become Luo Feng’s exclusive training ground.

“Hey, Mom, is lunch ready?” Luo Feng smiled as he walked through the door.

“Almost, almost,” came the reply from the kitchen, where Gong Xinlan was personally cooking, assisted by a maid. Mother Gong had simple tastes and enjoyed cooking. With her days mostly free, she had also picked up the habit of playing Mahjong with other women in the community, living a relaxed and comfortable life.

Luo Feng glanced into the living room, where his father sat on the sofa watching the news.

“Brother, you’re back,” said a young man and woman stepping out from a nearby bedroom.

The young man’s face was slightly pale, and his frame was thin, but his tall stature made him quite handsome. The girl holding his hand gave a slightly shy smile when she saw Luo Feng. It was his younger brother Luo Hua and Zhen Nan.

“Xiao Nan is here,” Luo Feng smiled.

“Brother, you should take Xiao Nan out for a walk this afternoon,” Luo Hua said with a grin.

“Got it, brother,” Luo Hua nodded. “Oh, by the way, I have a bunch of girl photos. Some people asked Xiao Nan to pass them to you. Want to take a look? There are quite a few beauties.”

Luo Feng was taken aback.

“Oh, right,” his mother’s voice came from the kitchen. “Xiao Feng, this morning when I was exercising in the park, many people were trying to set you up. I even have some photo profiles of some excellent girls. I found a few that I quite like.”

Luo Feng rubbed his head.

Since returning home, this had become far too common.

“Mom, didn’t I already tell you not to bring this up again?” Luo Feng shook his head with a bitter smile.

“Brother, just take a look. It won’t hurt. Others would kill for a chance to meet such beauties. These girls are all top-notch. Those who aren’t confident wouldn’t even dare send their photos,” Luo Hua raised his eyebrows. “Ouch!” He winced as his girlfriend pinched him.

Luo Feng shook his head.

“Dad, Mom,” he turned to them. “I won’t be home for dinner tonight. I have something to do this afternoon.”

…

That afternoon, just after four o’clock, Luo Feng boarded an intelligent fighter jet and flew from Yangzhou City to the main urban district.

After parking the intelligent fighter jet on the rooftop landing pad of the Limit Combat Guild headquarters, Luo Feng took a Guild-provided vehicle to the airport.

At the airport, Luo Feng wore jeans and a black T-shirt, but beneath the shirt was a black battle armor formed from the “Black God Suit.” Hidden within the armor were the 365 blades of the Void-Gliding Shuttle, each blade spread out and ready for use.

This setup made carrying the blades convenient, as wearing the armor meant Luo Feng always had his most powerful weapon, the Void-Gliding Shuttle, on him. It was also a safety measure. While the Black God Suit was strong defensively, the Void-Gliding Shuttle’s material was said to be even more miraculous and superior.

“He’s here,” Luo Feng looked up.

A streak of deep blue light tore through the sky and came to a stop overhead—a large passenger aircraft slowly descending and finally landing.

Whoosh—

The cabin door opened, and an automatic staircase extended downward.

Luo Feng and five others approached to greet the arriving passengers. Those who could come directly to the tarmac to pick up travelers were all influential individuals. Including Luo Feng, there were only six people present. Most of the passengers’ escorts waited at the terminal exit.

“Xu Xin,” Luo Feng looked up.

From among the passengers descending the stairs, a girl in a light green short-sleeved top and denim shorts immediately caught Luo Feng’s attention. Dressed lightly for summer, her figure was clearly outlined. Combined with her refined upbringing, her unique charm was even more captivating.

“Back in high school, Xu Xin was like a girl next door. When she worked as a manager at the HR Alliance bar, she had a professional air…” Luo Feng admitted that he had been drawn to Xu Xin since the beginning of high school.

As she walked down the stairs, Xu Xin glanced downward. When she saw Luo Feng below, she couldn’t help but smile.

Passengers continued to disembark one by one.

When Xu Xin stepped off, she immediately walked toward Luo Feng, her face glowing with a bright smile: “I thought you wouldn’t come.”

“I always keep my word,” Luo Feng smiled.

“Xu Xin,” a voice called from behind.

Luo Feng turned to see a young man in his twenties approaching. His clothes and shoes were clearly expensive, and the watch on his wrist looked like a luxury brand. His confident smile exuded an air of nobility. Luo Feng quietly asked Xu Xin, “Someone from your family?”

“Not really,” Xu Xin whispered.

The young man glanced at Luo Feng. Dressed simply like any other college student, he smiled politely and extended his hand. “Hello, I’m Sun Chao. May I ask, are you Xu Xin’s…”

“Ahh, Luo Feng!” a cheerful voice interrupted.

Luo Feng turned to see Xu Xin’s older brother, Xu Gang, dressed in dress pants and a shirt, running over with a hearty laugh. Seeing the young man beside Luo Feng, he smiled even wider. “Didn’t expect to see Luo Feng the moment I got back. Haha, this is great! Ah, Sun Chao, let me introduce. This is my sister’s boyfriend, Luo Feng.”
