Earth, the Asian continental plate, Huaxia Country, Yangzhou City.
Luo Feng put away the spacecraft, then directly descended towards the Xihu Villa Estate below. It was currently late afternoon, close to evening. The red sun hung on the western horizon, casting its light over the already withered yellow grass. Yet on the grassland stood a massive alloy arena, where two boys were holding battle blades and fighting, turning into two afterimages.
Boom! Boom!
The air exploded, and their speed was so fast that sonic booms were produced.
“Stop!” Beside the arena, a bald, thick-lipped man who looked honest and simple smiled as he spoke. There were strange patterns on his bald head, somewhat resembling some bizarre symbols from Buddhism on Earth.
The two boys stopped.
The bald, thick-lipped man slightly bowed, his eyes filled with respect from the bottom of his heart.
“Master.”
“Di Fan, thank you for your trouble.” Luo Feng landed, his battle boots stepping onto the arena.
“Dad!”
“Dad!”
The two children, Luo Hai and Luo Ping, had their eyes light up and happily ran towards Luo Feng.
Luo Feng smiled as he looked at his two sons. After two years, his two sons had become much more outstanding. With enough resources to provide them with the best possible training, along with some secret techniques from the Meteor Ink lineage and the Golden Horned Beast’s inherited memories, both sons had received the best cultivation.
Currently, in terms of combat strength, the two boys had reached the level of advanced War Gods.
Such a level might seem exaggerated on Earth, but across the universe, it was nothing special.
For six or seven-year-old children with better bloodlines, even without careful training, they could enter the Planetary level at this age.
“Recently, how have these two boys been performing?” Luo Feng smiled and looked at the bald, thick-lipped man beside him, Di Fan.
“The two young masters are very hardworking, and their blade techniques are also very solid.” Di Fan praised.
“Dad, you heard that, right?”
“We work very hard.”
The two children proudly said.
Luo Feng could not help but laugh.
“You two go play first. I have something to discuss with Uncle Di Fan.”
“Okay.”
The two children nodded heavily. The two looked at each other, excitement flashing in their eyes, then ran towards the castle. To them, being able to enter the virtual universe and play virtual games was an extremely joyful thing. There were many children around their age there.
“Di Fan, how has your cultivation been recently?” Luo Feng asked with a smile.
“Master’s secret technique, 《Soul Blade Slash》, is indeed profound and unfathomable. I have only just achieved some results recently, but there are still many areas I do not understand.” Di Fan respectfully replied.
“Tell me.” Luo Feng said.
“Please guide me, Master.” Di Fan respectfully said. “In the first level of 《Soul Blade Slash》, regarding the transformation and condensation of spiritual energy into a blade…”
Di Fan asked, and Luo Feng answered.
More accurately, it was actually Babata answering, because the 《Soul Blade Slash》 secret technique was an extremely powerful secret technique among the Meteor Ink lineage techniques. It was accidentally obtained by the Meteor Ink Master from an ancient relic, so it did not have the special harsh requirements of cultivation like the 《Soul Seal》 secret technique.
Babata had records of cultivation experiences regarding 《Soul Blade Slash》.
Therefore, whenever Di Fan encountered difficulties, Babata provided the answers, and Luo Feng relayed them.
“This Di Fan…”
After Luo Feng finished speaking, he saw Di Fan fall into deep thought and could not help sighing inwardly.
“Being able to buy this servant was truly a stroke of luck.”
Indeed!
Di Fan was a servant purchased by Luo Feng, and he was a Universe level 9 servant!
In the vast universe, using biological chips to control living beings could only control servants up to Universe level 9. Once someone broke through to Domain Lord level, a Domain Lord could completely shatter their own head and destroy the chip without dying. Therefore, the highest-level servants sold externally were Universe level 9 servants.
Among them, a Universe level 1 servant usually cost between 10 million and 30 million Universe Coins, equivalent to the value of dozens of life planets.
A Universe level 4 servant cost around 100 million to 300 million Universe Coins.
A Universe level 7 servant cost around 1 billion to 3 billion Universe Coins.
A Universe level 8 servant cost between 3 billion and 10 billion Universe Coins.
A Universe level 9 servant also cost between 3 billion and 10 billion Universe Coins.
Why were Universe level 8 and 9 servants priced similarly?
It was because purchasing a Universe level 9 servant carried risks. Although it was extremely difficult for a Universe level 9 servant to break through to Domain Lord level, and the probability was extremely low, it was still possible. If one day a Universe level 9 servant broke through, they would no longer be controlled by the biological chip and would regain their freedom.
They might very likely become furious and kill the master who had controlled and commanded them for so long.
In the universe, there had been many cases where Universe level 9 servants broke through and slaughtered their masters in anger. This caused Universe level 9 servants to have a price similar to Universe level 8 servants.
Di Fan was a Universe level 9 servant. The fact that he had cultivated to Universe level 9 showed how extraordinary his talent was.
When Luo Feng purchased Di Fan through the slave trader, the trader had advised him.
“Sir, this Universe level 9 slave is dangerous. Once he breaks through, nobody can control him. Why not purchase a Universe level 8 slave instead? Although he is only one level lower, he is much safer. Once the Universe level 8 slave breaks through to level 9, you can sell him, and you will not lose anything.”
“I want him.” Luo Feng had not hesitated at the time.
After buying Di Fan, Luo Feng transformed into his Golden Horned Beast body. Through the Golden Horned Beast, he used the newly mastered “Soul Slave Seal” on him and ordered Di Fan not to resist.
As a servant, Di Fan naturally would not resist.
Just like that…
Luo Feng planted the “Soul Slave Seal” deep within Di Fan’s soul, merging it with his soul. From that moment onwards, Di Fan became Luo Feng’s most loyal servant, loyal from the very essence of his soul.
“Using the Soul Slave Seal to control someone will also affect your own soul. Your teacher only controlled nine Undying servants, so you must value quality, not quantity.” Babata reminded Luo Feng.
“I understand.”
Luo Feng had cultivated the 《Soul Seal》 secret technique and carefully read through the precautions and side effects regarding the “Soul Slave Seal”. Naturally, he understood that choosing a servant required extreme caution.
Because this was a servant controlled through the soul, the souls of the two parties became connected. The master could completely control the servant, but the servant could also influence the master.
“Di Fan was a slave from a very early age. As a slave, he had extremely poor cultivation conditions, yet he was still able to cultivate to this point. I also investigated his background. This person deserves to become one of my soul servants.”
Di Fan was Luo Feng’s first true servant.
The Nuo Lan Shan family’s spacecraft could arrive at Earth at any moment, so during these few days, Luo Feng did not enter the nutrition chamber again. Instead, he quietly waited on Earth.
……
Huaxia calendar, 28 October 2065, the edge of the Solar System.
A streamlined axe-shaped D3-level spacecraft flew towards the Solar System like a meteor.
Inside the spacecraft control room.
The black-robed Bai Kaluo and the blue battle-robed De Wen stood side by side before the control panel. The entire spacecraft displayed an external simulation, allowing them to clearly see the beautiful Solar System in the distance.
Around the dazzling star, planets revolved eternally. Among them, a distant blue planet that looked small and insignificant attracted their attention.
“Earth!” Bai Kaluo’s voice was cold.
“Yes, Earth. We have arrived.” De Wen smiled and turned to look at Bai Kaluo.
“Bai Kaluo, you still remember what the teacher said, right? We should not alarm the people on Earth first. We should quietly retrieve the mechanical race spacecraft!”
“I know.” Bai Kaluo replied coldly.
De Wen felt unhappy inside, but he still smiled on the surface.
……
At this moment, at the edge of the Solar System, among some scattered asteroids, there were several satellites disguised as asteroids. In fact, there were many disguised detection devices like this throughout the Solar System.
It could be said that the entire Solar System had long been under extremely strict surveillance.
Unless it was technology like that of the mechanical race spacecraft, it was impossible to avoid detection by these devices.
An irregular disguised asteroid.
“Beep, beep, beep.”
The signal quickly transmitted the captured images to the command centre of Earth’s entire planetary defence system, Luo Feng’s castle.
A series of signals.
This D3-level spacecraft was completely detected.
Earth, around 7 p.m. Huaxia time.
The sky had long turned dark.
Yangzhou City was filled with prosperity, with brilliant lights everywhere. However, in Luo Feng’s residence, the Xihu Villa Estate, which was a sacred place for countless warriors in Yangzhou City, laughter filled the area.
Luo Feng’s family was gathered around the table eating dinner.
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan, Luo Hua and his wife with their children, Luo Feng himself with his wife and two sons, and of course Luo Feng’s first servant, Di Fan, were all seated together.
“Uncle Di Fan, I really did practise blade techniques for an hour this afternoon, right?” Little Hai shouted.
“Yes.” Di Fan smiled and nodded.
“Mom, you heard that, right?” Little Hai raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Xin beside him.
Luo Feng looked at his son’s adorable appearance, and a smile naturally filled his face. Suddenly, the arm guard on his arm made a sound.
“Beep, beep, beep.”
“Hm?” Luo Feng’s expression changed slightly.
This was a warning he had set up long ago. Only when several major problems appeared in the planetary defence system would it directly notify him.
Luo Feng lowered his head and looked. A dynamic video appeared on the arm guard screen. A streamlined axe-shaped spacecraft was flying rapidly through the starry sky at the edge of the Solar System, heading towards Earth.
“They have arrived.” A sharp light flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes.
“Dad, Mum, continue eating. I have something to deal with.” Luo Feng smiled and stood up.
“You have the most things to do.” Luo Hongguo said.
Luo Feng smiled, patted the heads of his two sons, held his wife’s hand, and whispered.
“Xu Xin, I’m going out for a while. I probably won’t be back until tomorrow morning.”
“Be careful.” Xu Xin said.
Everyone in the family knew that Luo Feng sometimes had important matters to handle, and sometimes he would enter seclusion for half a month. Therefore, it was already rare for him to eat together with his family. They had long become accustomed to Luo Feng suddenly leaving.
However, he had not even finished his meal this time, which caused his father Luo Hongguo to complain a little.
“Di Fan.” Luo Feng glanced at Di Fan.
Di Fan also stood up.
The two quickly left the castle.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two shot into the sky and flew directly above Yangzhou City. A black flying saucer-shaped spacecraft suddenly appeared in the sky. After Luo Feng and Di Fan entered the spacecraft, they immediately changed into alloy battle suits and battle boots.
Boom!
The spacecraft accelerated and rushed directly through the atmosphere, quickly leaving Earth and heading into space.
Battle!
If it was going to happen, it would happen in space.
A Universe level battle, to a planet, would be a disaster.
