The early spring evening breeze carried a biting chill, yet Wang Xingping’s mind momentarily went blank, his face flushing crimson with humiliation. “I must have the worst karma accumulated over eight lifetimes,” he thought despairingly. “The World’s Top Training Camp only accepts a handful of students worldwide. The Jiangnan Base City is lucky to get one candidate every few years! And here I am, not just encountering one of these elite recruits… but even daring to threaten him…”
If he were the head of the Wang family, he might have had the authority to threaten someone like that.
But the real power in the Wang family belonged to his grandfather!
His grandfather had several sons, and more than ten grandsons! Although Wang Xingping was the eldest legitimate son’s child, his status was slightly higher than the other grandsons. However, succession in such a powerful family was never decided merely by age. The competition within the family was fierce, and eventually, the family would determine the primary and secondary heirs…
Only after his grandfather stepped down would his father’s generation take over.
And only after his father’s generation ruled for decades would it be their turn—the grandsons’ generation!
Even if Wang Xingping were to become the clan leader, he would still have to wait decades.
“The little power I can wield is only a tiny fraction of the family’s resources,” Wang Xingping gritted his teeth. “If the family discovers I actually got into a conflict with a student from the ‘World’s Number One Training Camp,’ they would immediately send me to apologize and dispatch people to negotiate with Luo Feng. They would settle the matter quietly and avoid any escalation!”
Wang Xingping knew the rules of how powerful families operated.
If you couldn’t kill your opponent, you turned him into an ally!
Luo Feng was on the verge of stepping into the Global Headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Pavilion—a sanctuary where even the Five Great Powers dared not plant their spies. For this was the dominion of Hong, the mightiest warrior on Earth. The mere mention of his name struck deeper fear than the shadow of a nuclear blast.
“Hey, Brother Wang, what are you thinking about?” Heng Xia chuckled, nudging him.
Wang Xingping took a deep breath, looked at Luo Feng, and then bowed deeply: “Luo Feng, I was in the wrong first. Please don’t hold it against me!”
He actually apologized?
Wang Xingping actually bowed in apology!
“This… what’s going on?” Heng Xia stared at Wang Xingping, then at Luo Feng. Even a blind man could see something was off. Luo Feng smiled at Heng Xia: “It’s nothing. Just a misunderstanding with young Master Wang here. Gentlemen, I have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first!”
With that, Luo Feng turned and walked away along the tree-lined concrete path.
After Luo Feng left, Heng Xia whispered: “Brother Wang, what happened? Did you offend Luo Feng?”
“This time, I really lost face,” Wang Xingping straightened up. “But Heng Xia, thank you for this. If you hadn’t told me who Luo Feng really was, I might have offended him without even realizing it!” Luo Feng might not have the power to retaliate now, but in a few years, once he became a War God and rose to a high rank within the Limit Martial Arts Pavilion…
Dealing with a spoiled brat like Wang Xingping would be effortless.
Compared to the Limit Martial Arts Pavilion, not only the Wang family, but even the entire HR Alliance would have to bow their heads!
…
“Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!”
Upon returning to his hotel suite, Wang Xingping violently swept the premium wine bottles off the bar counter. One after another, the extravagant vintages smashed against the walls or shattered upon the marble floor with thunderous crashes. In the shadowed corner of the chamber, the butler An stood motionless in silence.
After venting his anger, Wang Xingping collapsed onto the sofa.
“An, send me a pair of twin sisters,” Wang Xingping’s eyes glinted coldly, like a vicious wolf. Whenever he encountered trouble, he always needed to release his frustration.
“Master,” the butler An hesitated.
“Don’t worry, no one will perish,” Wang Xingping turned with icy composure toward Steward An, who fell silent beneath his piercing gaze.
“Yes,” replied the butler An as he turned and exited the chamber.
…
The last time he met Wang Xingping, Luo Feng had merely dismissed it as a joke and quickly forgot about it. In the following days, Luo Feng spent most of his time training in the Ninefold Thunder Blade technique. Time passed like flowing water, and before he knew it, March 28th had arrived—the day Luo Feng was to leave the city!
March 28th, 1:30 PM, Jiangnan Airport.
“Xiao Feng, take good care of yourself once you get there,” Luo Hongguo said gravely.
“I will, Dad,” Luo Feng smiled slightly.
Gong Xinlan’s eyes were misty with tears as she held Luo Feng’s hand: “Xiao Feng, be careful!” In truth, every time Luo Feng entered the wilderness, the family’s hearts were filled with anxiety. But over time, especially living in Mingyue Residential Complex, a community of warriors, his parents had come to understand—
This was the path of a warrior!
“Luofeng, come over for boarding,” the voice of War God Yang Hui called from a distance.
“Coming,” Luo Feng replied.
Luo Feng gently patted his younger brother’s head, who sat in a wheelchair, and stared at Luohua: “Luohua, while I’m away, you must take care of Mom and Dad.”
“Okay!” Luohua nodded solemnly.
Then Luo Feng looked at his parents and immediately ran toward the security checkpoint in the distance. Nearby, Heng Xia also said goodbye to his parents before joining Luo Feng and War God Yang Hui. The three passed through security together, watched by the Limit Martial Arts Pavilion’s president, Heng Xia’s family, and Luo Feng’s family.
…
There was only one massive flying saucer-shaped passenger aircraft at the entire airport. Luo Feng and the others could enter directly through the boarding bridge.
“Mr. Yang, your seats are in the top-tier first-class cabin,” a beautiful flight attendant smiled.
“Hmm.”
Yang Hui nodded slightly and climbed the stairs toward the top level.
It was the first time Luo Feng and Heng Xia had ever ridden on such a large aircraft, and they were filled with curiosity. Like most first-time passengers, Luo Feng looked around in fascination. The interior of the aircraft was dreamlike, with the entire structure shaped like a flying saucer, so the cabin was divided into top, middle, and bottom levels.
The top level was the first-class cabin.
The middle and lower levels were economy class.
“Round?” As Luo Feng stepped into the top-level cabin, he noticed that the entire cabin was circular. All the seats were arranged in concentric rings, with the outermost ring naturally having the most seats. In the very center, a three-dimensional holographic projection was displayed.
“E21.”
That was Luo Feng’s seat. He, Heng Xia, and Yang Hui sat side by side. Other passengers were also taking their seats one by one.
“Luofeng, Heng Xia, this is your first time flying. The cost of this trip is covered by our Limit Martial Arts Pavilion,” Yang Hui explained. “But if you fly again in the future, you’ll have to pay for your own tickets. The large passenger aircraft operated by the Chinese Federation from the six major base cities to our headquarters cost ten million yuan for economy class and twenty million yuan for first-class!”
Luo Feng sighed inwardly…
No wonder even wealthy people hesitated to fly. Some company-owning millionaires considered an asset of over a hundred million yuan quite impressive. Spending ten million yuan on a flight ticket? They probably wouldn’t dare.
“What’s the difference between first-class and economy?” Heng Xia couldn’t help but ask.
“The width and comfort of the seats,” Yang Hui smiled.
“I don’t feel like these seats are that wide,” Heng Xia frowned.
“That’s because you haven’t experienced how cramped economy class is!” Yang Hui chuckled. “You must understand, large passenger aircraft are extremely rare worldwide. Their construction and maintenance costs are astronomical. Because of their scarcity, they try to fit as many seats as possible! So while economy class is still usable, you can barely stretch your legs.”
Heng Xia blinked a few times.
Luo Feng shook his head. Just for slightly more legroom, the ticket price was double! But for the truly elite of Earth, ten million or twenty million yuan really made no difference.
RUMBLE~~
With a deep sound, the aircraft finally took off. However, the circular cabin was completely sealed with no windows, so Luo Feng and the others couldn’t see outside. In the central open area of the cabin, a recently released, highly acclaimed movie began to play!
Displayed using three-dimensional holographic projection technology, the realism was extremely vivid.
“If you want to watch the movie, put on the headphones. If not, just rest. We’ll arrive at headquarters in a little over an hour,” Yang Hui closed his eyes.
…
About an hour and twenty minutes later, the aircraft landed at the airport of the Limit Martial Arts Pavilion’s Global Headquarters—Hongning Base City.
After exiting the airport, the three of them immediately boarded a dedicated vehicle.
Inside the stretched Cadillac.
Luo Feng and Heng Xia looked out the windows in amazement. The entire base city was stunningly beautiful, its architectural style fully inspired by ancient Chinese designs, with pavilions and terraces visible everywhere.
During the Great Nirvana Era, the Master gathered a group of followers and established a simple human settlement on this land, providing refuge for countless survivors. Over time, Hongning Base City grew ever larger!” Yang Hui smiled. “Our Hongning Base City is located in western Asia, relatively close to Europe.”
“Because the Master is here, Hongning Base City is the safest base city in the world!”
“Every year, many wealthy individuals and warriors join our base city. However, the Master has always controlled the city’s population. Currently, the entire city’s population is only eighty million,” Yang Hui smiled. “Without the Master’s control, the population would easily reach two or three hundred million.”
“But population quality is more important!”
“Hongning Base City has the highest proportion of warriors in the world!”
“Not a single King-level monster dares to disturb our city!” Yang Hui said confidently.
Luo Feng and Heng Xia both had expressions of awe in their eyes.
There were five major superpowers and 23 base cities worldwide. Among them, Hong controlled one base city. Combined with his immense influence through the Limit Martial Arts Pavilion, and most importantly, his unmatched personal strength… Hong was unquestionably the number one figure on Earth!
The strongest in power, the most influential in authority!
“We’ve arrived at the training camp. Let’s get off,” Yang Hui said. “This is the Elite Training Camp. Heng Xia, come inside and take a look. Work hard, and maybe you’ll have a chance to join someday.”
“Okay,” Heng Xia couldn’t hide his excitement.
Luo Feng and Heng Xia stepped out of the car and followed Yang Hui through the wide entrance of the training camp.
As soon as they entered the gates, they saw a massive dragon-shaped sculpture. Nearly fifty meters tall, the giant black dragon’s eyes stared at Luo Feng, its endless dark aura instantly pressing down on him, causing Luo Feng to involuntarily gasp for breath. Beside him, Heng Xia’s face also turned pale. Yang Hui gave a sharp shout, and both Luo Feng and Heng Xia snapped back to their senses.
“Just a sculpture, and it scared you?” Yang Hui chuckled.
Luo Feng’s forehead was already covered in sweat. The pressure from this dragon sculpture was even more terrifying than the Ironclad Dragon. On the black dragon’s scales, each fifty meters long, were small display screens, each showing a name.
“NO.1 Renatus Bridge (530321)”
“NO.2 Chu Qiang (540601)”
“NO.3 Eben Pass (520916)”
…
“NO.182 Jacklyn Berna (570319)”
From top to bottom, each scale bore a name, a total of 182 names.
“This is the ranking,” Yang Hui smiled beside them. “Currently, the Elite Training Camp has 182 students, all the most outstanding geniuses from around the world. According to each person’s combat power points, they are ranked from highest to lowest. Luo Feng, if you pass the B-level trial, you’ll need to work hard to climb higher in the rankings.”
