Though deeply shaken, Xu Gang quickly steadied himself. His merchant’s instincts kicked in as he stared at Luo Feng in the distance, his mind racing: “This Luo Feng is still so young, yet already at the level of a Junior Warlord! For someone of such humble beginnings to achieve this is nothing short of miraculous. Perhaps I should play the long game… If he ever ascends to the might of a War God, even my father would probably jump at the chance to marry my sister to him.”
“But still…”
In the end, a warrior remains a warrior. If Lu Gang could fall, who knows when his own time might come. Ah, never mind, no need to dwell on it. Just watch how Luo Feng progresses in the days to come. Xu Gang pondered silently, for to the Xu family, a mere Junior Warlord was hardly worth noting.
…
The mourning ceremony was still ongoing, but some warriors had already begun to leave.
After the five members of the Fire Hammer squad departed, they directly searched for a restaurant nearby that had a somewhat classical style and was quite well-decorated. The restaurant owner knew many people would attend the mourning ceremony today, especially since it was broadcast nationwide. Seeing the direction Luo Feng and the others were coming from, as well as the exclusive vehicle of the Limit Combat Dojo they were riding in, the owner immediately understood their identities and quickly invited the five to the best private room on the third floor.
“Alright, you may go down now.” Chen Gu quickly ordered some dishes and then waved the waiter out.
The most beautiful female waiter in the restaurant curiously glanced at the five before obediently leaving the private room.
“Damn it, I was in a good mood today originally. But seeing those bastards from the Tiger Fang squad completely ruined it; all my good mood is gone!” Gao Feng couldn’t help but clench his teeth in anger. Earlier when they were leaving, Luo Feng and the others had encountered the Tiger Fang squad, who had also come to mourn.
“Captain, there’s no need to get so upset over those few bastards. It’s not worth it,” Wei Tie shook his head.
“Once we enter the wilderness area, find an opportunity to eliminate them,” Wei Qing said coldly.
Luo Feng frowned slightly and swept his mental energy throughout the private room to check for any eavesdropping devices.
Seeing Luo Feng’s actions, Gao Feng smiled and said, “Luo Feng, relax! This restaurant is considered high-end. The top private rooms in such places are usually where people of status come to dine and discuss matters, often involving some secrets. If the owner dares to eavesdrop, he’s just asking for death!”
Chen Gu also spoke up, “Even if there were bugs, so what? We’re just talking about killing someone, but we haven’t actually done it. Isn’t just talking allowed?”
Luo Feng smiled and nodded in agreement.
“Captain, does the Fire Hammer squad have any troublesome figures behind them?” Luo Feng asked, “If they do, we should be cautious.”
“What big figures could they have?”
Gao Feng sneered, “Do you think their parents are even War Gods?”
Speaking of which, Senior Warrior Lu Gang had three children in total—two sons and one daughter. Among them, the eldest son and daughter were both at the Battle General level. Only the second son was rather mediocre in ability. Wei Tie sighed, “These experts are truly different; even their offspring are so remarkable.”
“Oh, three children, two of whom are War General-level?” Luo Feng was astonished.
“That’s normal.”
Gao Feng spoke with a solemn tone, “Luo Feng, your time in the warrior’s circle has been brief, so you might not fully grasp this. The truth is, the offspring of formidable warriors often inherit remarkable strength! Take for instance ‘Hong,’ the mightiest warrior in our world—he himself transcends even the Wargod level. Both his son and daughter have reached the Wargod tier!”
Luo Feng blinked a couple of times; he really hadn’t noticed such news before.
“The principle is actually quite simple,” Gao Feng continued with a smile, “When warriors cultivate, every cell in their body absorbs genetic energy, perfecting their body’s genes and continuously improving them. The process of cultivation is also the process of improving and enhancing their genes. The stronger the warrior, the higher the quality of their genes.”
“And when they marry and have children, they pass these genes on to their offspring!”
For instance, figures like “Hong,” the “Thunder God,” and the earlier “Zhu Xi”—these unparalleled masters—having offspring who attain the level of War Gods is hardly surprising! Their bloodlines are inherently superior. Yet, this is no absolute certainty. Should descendants fail to match the prowess of their forebears, the lineage’s strength will inevitably wane over generations. After several cycles, the family’s genetic legacy may well fade into mediocrity.
Luo Feng nodded.
Marriage and having children is indeed a process of genetic inheritance. The children of powerful warriors naturally have an advantage!
The door to the private room opened, and the waiter came in to deliver the food.
“Ah.”
After the waiter placed the food and left, Gao Feng sighed, “In fact, if humanity continues to develop like this, the genes of the powerful will gradually spread, leading to a gradual improvement in the overall genetic makeup of humans on Earth! However, if the weak and the strong marry, it will also result in some children with average genes.”
“So, the difficulty of improving the entire human race’s genes is quite significant.”
“The powerful are improving the human race’s genes, while the weak are lowering them.”
“But one thing is certain: as time passes, the overall physical fitness of humans on Earth will gradually improve! One day, almost all humans will be able to become warriors!”
Gao Feng’s conclusion made Luo Feng nod slightly.
“Of course, for the entire human race to become warriors, who knows how long it will take! Five hundred years? A thousand years? Five thousand years?” Gao Feng shook his head with a smile. The evolution of the entire human race is indeed a very long and drawn-out process.
…
Luo Feng and his group quickly finished lunch, removed the dishes, and ordered some tea.
“Old Chen and the Wei brothers are already quite familiar with their abilities now. I think we should head into the wilderness area within the next couple of days,” Gao Feng looked at the others, “Does anyone have any objections?”
“How about the day after tomorrow?” Chen Gu suggested.
Luo Feng nodded, “Let’s go the day after tomorrow, but Captain, where are we going this time?”
“Haha.” Chen Gu laughed, “This time we definitely can’t go to those small towns anymore; our team is much stronger than before.” The overall strength of the team had increased tenfold compared to before, which was no exaggeration.
“Let’s go to a big city,” Wei Tie and Wei Qing also had their eyes shining with excitement.
In the past, they could only venture into prefecture-level cities.
“What if— we go all out and head to City 003?” Gao Feng took a deep breath and said in a low voice.
“City 003?”
Luo Feng and the others were greatly startled.
What did City 003 represent?
It could be said to be one of the most terrifying areas in the entire Eurasian region. This city is close to the ocean, so there are many marine monsters in the rivers and channels. It has almost the most numerous buildings in all of Asia, which makes the number of monsters here astonishing. There are many lord-level monsters here, and even some beyond the lord level lurking about!
Many top warriors come here!
Even warriors from other base cities in the Chinese Federation specifically come here!
This place is almost a major base for human warriors and monsters to clash!
This place was the economic center of the entire Chinese Federation before the Great Calamity—the former Shanghai!
“Go there?”
Wei Tie and Wei Qing were both greatly startled.
“This step is too big,” Wei Tie couldn’t help but say, “How about we first go to City 023, the former Suzhou?” Even the boldest among them were a bit frightened at hearing the name City 003. That place was truly a den of dragons and snakes, where the big shots roamed!
Gao Feng looked at the others and laughed, “Scared?”
“What are we scared of? Going to City 003 will give us face,” Chen Gu’s eyes sparkled, “Let’s go, of course! After all, City 003 is huge, more than ten times bigger than other cities. We’ll slowly infiltrate from the edges. What’s there to fear?”
“Luofeng, what do you think?” The group looked at Luofeng, after all, Luofeng was the team’s top fighter!
Luofeng was thinking about this legendary City 003, of course he knew about it.
Whether it was the meaning of City 003 to humanity now, or the status of the former Shanghai before the Great Calamity, they were equally special!
“Okay, we can go, but we have to start from the suburbs,” Luofeng nodded.
“Of course, we’ll slowly move forward from the suburbs. Do you think I want to die? I’m not ready to die yet,” Gao Feng smiled, “Some of my old friends are in City 003. That’s where the top warriors hang out. Heh… We’re finally going to start adventuring there too.”
Daring to operate in City 003 was a symbol of strength.
Because there are many big shots and bosses there, even the suburbs often have many beast general-level monsters. And in the heartland, there are many lord-level monsters! So those without some strength wouldn’t dare to even enter the suburbs of City 003.
“Alright, then everyone should prepare well and rest. We’ll set off early the day after tomorrow to go to City 003,” Gao Feng smiled.
“Okay, let’s go to City 003!”
Luofeng and the others felt a surge of excitement.
