“Mr. Yang!”
Zhuge Tao and the other two managers also called out respectfully.
This middle-aged man in his early thirties, Yang Hui, was actually over fifty years old and a ‘Middle-Level War God’. Normally, he resided at the global headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts Institute. Whether considering his martial prowess or his status, Yang Hui was on par with Zhou Zhengyong, known as ‘Iron Hand’.
“It’s been eight years since we last met. Come on, let’s find a place to have some tea first, then we can have lunch together. By the way, Zhuge, is your elder brother at the base city? Invite him to join us,” Yang Hui said.
“Okay, I’ll call my elder brother right away,” Zhuge Tao replied quickly.
Yang Hui was a War God, the president Zhou Zhengyong was a War God, and Zhuge Tao’s elder brother, Zhuge Shan, was also a War God. Friends were generally chosen based on status and position; otherwise, without some background or standing, one could never enter this circle.
“Iron Hand, is the Inspector in the base city?” Yang Hui asked.
“The Inspector went to city 003 in the wilderness area a few days ago to hone his spear techniques against those lord beasts,” Iron Hand Zhou Zhengyong replied. “After the Inspector returns, I’ll take you to pay him a visit. Half a year ago, when the Master visited our Jiangnan Base City, he wanted to see the Inspector, but the Inspector was still in the wilderness area.”
The Master!
At the mention of this word from Zhou Zhengyong, the three managers beside him, including Yang Hui, immediately turned solemn.
The only person referred to as ‘the Master’ by the president of the Limit Martial Arts Institute in Jiangnan Base City was the undisputed strongest individual on Earth and the founder of the Limit Martial Arts Institute—Hong.
Hong!
A supremely charismatic warrior! The strongest among the human race!
“The Inspector’s rigorous cultivation is also aimed at breaking through the ‘War God Level’ and becoming a being beyond War Gods,” Yang Hui sighed. “The Master once said that Inspector Liu was one with great potential.”
The Inspector…
Within the global system of the Limit Martial Arts Institute, held an extremely high status, far above people like Zhou Zhengyong and Yang Hui. He was someone who often had close contact with Hong, the strongest individual in the world, and could be considered one of the top elite members of the entire Limit Martial Arts Institute.
“Let’s go have some tea. We can look into that young fellow Luo Feng’s matter later,” War God Yang Hui smiled.
Accordingly, the headquarters envoy Yang Hui and the four top leaders of the Jiangnan Base City Limit Martial Arts Institute left the airport together.
…
On the morning of February 28th.
After a simple half-hour warm-up training session in the martial arts hall, Luo Feng entered the audio-visual room. The blackout curtains on the windows of the audio-visual room were tightly drawn, making the interior nearly pitch black, with only a faint morning light refracted through the entrance providing a little illumination.
“Activate,” Luo Feng commanded by voice control.
He leisurely brewed a cup of steaming tea, placed the teacup on the coffee table in front of him, and sat comfortably on the soft sofa. He also placed the wireless keyboard on his lap and quickly entered the ‘Limit Home’ ‘Commander-Level Warrior Forum’ to browse and occasionally reply to posts.
This forum gathered Commander-Level warriors from South America, Europe, Asia, and all other regions. Occasionally, War Gods would also enter.
Moreover, through the forum, one could engage in one-on-one video chats with other warriors.
It had many features.
“One serving of Life Water is indeed rare,” Luo Feng had deliberately replied to three old, buried threads about ‘Life Water’ a while back, causing those three threads to resurface to the homepage. According to forum terminology, this was known as ‘grave-digging’.
Once on the homepage, with more global Commander-Level warriors seeing these threads, naturally there were many replies and discussions.
Through these replies and discussions, Luo Feng learned more about Life Water and occasionally replied himself, chatting with other warriors in the threads.
“The number of Commander-Level warriors worldwide under the Limit Martial Arts Institute is staggering. Yet no one seems to know where to find ‘Life Water’,” Luo Feng frowned. “Could it be true, as some threads suggest, that it is so rare that when one serving appears, it is auctioned off?”
Even if Life Water really existed, he wouldn’t dare to buy it now!
After all, his strength wasn’t enough. If the Vulture Scorpion couple discovered him, it would be a nightmare.
“Forget it. For me now, the most important thing is still to improve my strength!”
“My greatest strength lies in my mental power! Currently, my physical condition is at the Primary Commander Level. Based on the principle that mental power surpasses physical strength by two levels, my mental energy should be at the High Commander Level. This means I can effortlessly overpower High Commander warriors in direct combat,” Luo Feng mused with delight.
The last time he killed the old man surnamed Liu and the white muscular man was through a surprise attack from behind, catching them off guard in an instant!
If it had been a frontal attack, with Luo Feng’s strength at that time, he probably wouldn’t have had full confidence. But now, if Luo Feng encountered the two men surnamed Liu again, even in a direct confrontation, he could easily defeat both! Mentalists can easily defeat warriors of the same level and can fight beyond their level! This is a well-known fact in the warrior community.
“Now, I can easily defeat High Commanders and can even fight against ‘Lower War Gods’!”
“If I use underhanded tactics and rely on the weirdness of my mental power, killing a Lower War God wouldn’t be too difficult.”
Luo Feng’s rate of progress was indeed astonishing; from awakening to now, it had only been eight months. His real strength was already comparable to that of a Lower War God!
Actually, this wasn’t too surprising. First, Luo Feng was a rare mentalist among warriors. It was well known that each mentalist was extremely valuable, as they were naturally endowed with powerful mental energy. Because their bodies were weak at birth, their mental energy would naturally condense and lie dormant in their consciousness sea.
Those with naturally low mental energy had it in liquid form.
Those with more mental energy had it in a mixture of liquid and solid forms, with a higher proportion of solid indicating stronger mental energy.
Those with extremely high natural mental energy had it entirely in solid form!
Luo Feng was one of the rarest types of mentalists, with the most extraordinary talent. His natural rate of progress was already supposed to be astonishing. Coupled with the incredible effects of the ultimate secret manual “Nine Heavens Thunder Blade,” and his own hard work… the combination of these three factors naturally led to Luo Feng’s astonishing rate of progress.
In just eight months, his strength was already comparable to a Lower War God!
However, compared to the past achievements of ‘Hong’ and ‘Thunder God,’ there was still a gap. Back then, ‘Hong’ and ‘Thunder God’ had become beings beyond War Gods during the Great Nirvana outbreak. Their rate of progress was terrifyingly fast!
“The dark golden sphere in my consciousness sea contains a vast amount of mental energy. It’s only because my body isn’t strong enough to bear it that this immense mental energy can only exist in the form of a dark golden sphere,” Luo Feng held his teacup and took a sip, savoring the tea’s aroma in his mouth. “Therefore, the stronger my body becomes, the stronger my mental energy will be.”
“Now, I should focus on improving my physical strength as quickly as possible!”
Luo Feng typed ‘methods to improve physical strength’ into the forum’s search bar. Soon, a large number of posts appeared on the Commander-Level forum. Obviously, this topic had been discussed by many people.
He clicked on several posts with high click-through rates and replies.
“What methods are there?”
“Gene serums? Their price isn’t too expensive. Through a team leader’s friend, one could buy a dose for two hundred million. However, gene serums cause significant harm to the body. Generally, after taking them and gaining strength, one’s future potential for improvement is severely limited.” Luo Feng shook his head slightly; gene serums essentially cut off future hopes.
That’s why people like Wei Tie, Wei Qing, and Chen Gu, who had not made any progress for many years and had completely lost hope of self-improvement, were willing to take gene serums.
As for someone like Luo Feng?
Someone with boundless potential, taking gene serums would be sheer stupidity.
“The second method is pretty good. Generally, using it can double one’s strength! Not only does it have no side effects, but it can also increase the speed of future cultivation.” Luo Feng looked at the second method and could only helplessly shake his head. “Unfortunately, it’s too expensive.” This second method actually involved applying dragon blood to the body, which would naturally strengthen the body upon absorption!
However, the requirements for dragon blood were extremely high. First, it had to be the blood of a King-level dragon!
Secondly, it had to be the dragon’s heart blood. A King-level divine dragon, once hunted and killed, could generally only produce one portion of ‘dragon blood’.
How many King-level beasts are there globally?
Among the King-level beasts, how many are dragons?
One can imagine how high the price of a single portion of dragon blood would be!
“One portion of dragon blood costs up to 80 billion at half price from the Limit Martial Arts Institute! And that’s the half price, which requires four-star contribution points,” Luo Feng could only stare blankly. This was essentially a legendary divine medicine, instantly boosting strength without side effects and accelerating future cultivation! How great it was!
Unfortunately, how many people could afford it?
“The third method? Relying on hard work and self-cultivation!” Luo Feng shook his head. He could only honestly work hard, which was the path chosen by almost all warriors.
“With my current rate of cultivation.”
“In another six months, my physical condition should reach Middle-Level Commander!”
“After reaching Middle-Level Commander, in another year, my physical condition should reach High-Level Commander.”
Luo Feng nodded: “That means, in a year and a half, my mental power will reach ‘Middle-Level War God’ level, allowing me to sweep away warriors of the same level and fight against High-Level Commanders!”
“In three years, my mental power will reach ‘High-Level War God’ level. Among High-Level War Gods, I will be nearly invincible! At that time, will I still fear the Vulture Scorpion? Two flying daggers will settle them.”
Of course…
All of this was just a pleasant thought, and there was one big prerequisite!
That golden-dark sphere must be able to supply my mental power to reach the ‘High-Level War God’ level. If, halfway through, the golden-dark sphere is consumed and disappears into nothingness.
My period of rapid strength improvement will end!
Every mentalist has a ‘rapid improvement period,’ which relies on absorbing the mental power they were born with. Once it’s all absorbed, the rapid improvement period also ends!
“As long as the golden-dark sphere exists, my strength will rapidly improve! I hope my rapid improvement period can last until my mental power reaches the ‘High-Level War God’ level,” Luo Feng wished. A mentalist at the High-Level War God level would be the most terrifying existence below the level of those beyond War Gods.
As for my golden-dark sphere…
How long will it last before it is completely consumed?
