Li Yao’s face twisted with ferocity. He breathed heavily through his nostrils, murderous light flickering in his eyes.
“Luo Feng, Luo Feng, Luo Feng!!!”
“We have to kill him. He must die.” Beside him, Venina’s Chinese was not particularly fluent, but the killing intent in her voice was unmistakable. Her eyes were like poisonous needles as she spoke sharply. “Isn’t he going to Australia for a life and death survival mission? This is the perfect opportunity. We’ll kill him there!”
The nicknames Vulture and Scorpion alone revealed the nature of the couple.
They were ruthless and vicious by nature. Usually, they were the ones bullying others. Now someone had dared to strike back and kill their only son. How could the Vulture and Scorpion not go mad?
“Kill him. Not only kill him, kill his entire family too!” Li Yao growled through clenched teeth. “He killed my only son, so I’ll wipe out his whole family, then grind Luo Feng’s bones to dust!”
Scorpion Venina nodded slightly, then frowned as she looked at Li Yao.
“Yao, the Extreme Dojo strictly forbids retaliation against the families of its fighters. If we’re discovered, the consequences will be severe. Back then, Blood Blade was hunted across the world until he had nowhere left to hide.”
“You think I’m an idiot like Blood Blade?” Li Yao sneered. “The best way to deal with ordinary people is through worldly power. With the HR Alliance’s vast network, influence, and connections throughout society, we can quietly eliminate Luo Feng’s entire family without leaving the slightest trace.”
Martial artists were powerful.
But when it came to dealing with ordinary people, an organisation like the HR Alliance, backed by the world’s major super consortiums and families, had far more methods available.
“If something really goes wrong, you’ll have to take the blame alone,” Venina said with a frown.
Behind her stood the Polinas family.
As one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance, it could never openly oppose the Extreme Dojo.
“Don’t worry. Nothing will go wrong. Even if something does happen, it probably won’t be traced back to me. And if it is, I’ll bear it myself.” Li Yao’s expression was icy. He then looked at Venina. “This time, I’m planning to personally go to Australia. I’ll also bring some elite personnel with me. We’ll fly directly from China and land in Australia. Can you arrange that?”
Venina was the Executive President of the HR Alliance’s China Region and wielded tremendous authority.
“It shouldn’t be a problem. I can arrange for you to travel as a martial artist training team. The aircraft can let you disembark midway while passing over Australia.” Venina nodded.
“I’m also planning to bring some special equipment,” Li Yao added.
“Equipment? You mean…” Venina immediately shook her head. “Impossible. The Chinese government’s military power is far too strong. At most, I can arrange passage on a civilian aircraft. There’s absolutely no way you’ll be allowed to bring that kind of equipment. The security inspections alone make it impossible.”
Li Yao frowned slightly. He knew how difficult it would be.
“Yao, it’s absolutely impossible from within China.” Venina spoke seriously. “The equipment you want to bring is strictly prohibited. Our HR Alliance only has influence over ordinary society and economic matters within China.”
She continued, “How about this? First fly to Europe.”
“The European Union is our HR Alliance’s stronghold. There, I can arrange an aircraft to transport you and your elite fighters to Australia. I can also arrange for your special equipment. In the EU, more than eighty percent of civilian aircraft and even airport inspection systems are controlled by the HR Alliance.”
“Hm. That’s the only option.” Li Yao nodded slightly.
China and the European Union were different.
Countries such as those in the EU and the United States were capitalist nations where ancient families and major financial groups wielded tremendous influence. Even ruling parties often depended on the support of these large corporations and powerful families. Many industries, including weapons manufacturing and civilian aviation, were operated by private capital.
China was different.
Civil aviation, weapons manufacturing, and many other sectors were state controlled.
Private capital was prohibited from participating.
Therefore, even someone with Venina’s status could not secretly transport prohibited equipment aboard a civilian aircraft departing from China.
“Fine. I’ll go through Europe. I can recruit more people there as well.” Li Yao nodded. “Also, Venina, try to find some mercenaries for me. See if any are willing to take action. The men I’m bringing don’t include any God of War level fighters. See if we can hire a mercenary group with God of War fighters.”
“I’ll see what I can do.” Venina nodded.
In truth, there were many mercenary groups in existence.
The strongest among them even included fighters beyond the God of War level, some of whom had been invited to station themselves in weaker base cities.
…
At this moment, neither Li Yao nor Venina knew that Hong, the Chief Dojo Master of the Extreme Dojo and the world’s strongest individual, had already given Luo Feng his promise, that no one would be allowed to harm a single hair on his family’s head.
Li Yao did not know this.
Therefore, before leaving for Europe, he was still arranging manpower.
At Hongning Base City, the 183 students of the Elite Training Camp, along with more than ten accompanying God of War instructors, boarded six coaches and departed the training camp for the airport.
At 9 a.m. that same morning, nearly two hundred people boarded a passenger aircraft.
The aircraft departed Hongning Base City and headed directly for the Australian continent in Oceania.
The entire aircraft had been chartered by the training camp.
Its three levels comfortably accommodated the two hundred passengers, providing plenty of space. Films were being shown throughout the cabins to relieve the boredom of the journey. Luo Feng was seated in the middle cabin with Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang.
“Hm? They’ve stopped the film?” Zhao Ruo looked at the screen in surprise.
At the centre of the cabin were three large screens facing different directions, all displaying the same footage.
“Everyone has finished lunch, so let’s begin preparations.”
A middle aged Chinese man standing beside the screen pointed towards the video.
“This is present day Australia. It is one of the regions with the greatest concentration and highest number of monsters in the world. Because Australia is isolated from the other continents, the land monsters here differ significantly from those found elsewhere.”
“For example, there are rodent type monsters, badger type monsters, and many species that differ from those found in Asia and Europe.”
“Even before the Great Nirvana Period, Australia was famous for its diversity and abundance of animal life. After the Great Nirvana, the variety of monster species became even greater. Crossbreeding and mutation have produced many extremely terrifying monsters. I’m sure you’ve already studied plenty of information before coming here.”
“The diversity of species is only one aspect.”
“Another is the sheer number of monsters, which has resulted in the emergence of King level monsters. If you encounter a King level monster now, death is almost certain. Therefore, never approach areas with high monster concentrations. If there are large numbers of Lord level monsters present, stay as far away as possible.”
All the students listened carefully.
Although they were geniuses and the mortality rate was relatively low, deaths still occurred.
That was under cautious circumstances.
Anyone arrogant enough to behave recklessly in one of the three great danger zones, Australia, would simply be courting death.
“Of course, King level monsters generally can’t be bothered with you unless you provoke them.”
“So your greatest threats remain monster hordes and Lord level monsters.”
“In places like Asia and Europe, the large human populations keep monster numbers relatively lower. But Australia has so many monsters that large hordes are common. Therefore, pay close attention to monster groups and Lord level creatures.”
The Chinese man pointed at the screen.
“These are the most common monster hordes and Lord level monsters found in Australia. Watch carefully.”
The footage began playing.
Many students observed attentively.
“Senior Shi Jiang, Junior Brother Luo Feng, how about the three of us form a team once we arrive?” Zhao Ruo asked quietly.
Shi Jiang frowned slightly.
His strength far exceeded Zhao Ruo’s. For him, Australia contained perhaps more than ten times the variety of monsters found in Asia, along with many more Lord level monsters. This was a valuable opportunity for self improvement.
Bringing Zhao Ruo along would inevitably hinder him to some extent.
“This time, I’m going alone,” Luo Feng said.
“How boring.” Zhao Ruo rubbed her nose.
“Don’t worry. Plenty of people will be looking to form teams once we arrive,” Shi Jiang said with a smile.
Suddenly.
The entire cabin shook violently.
Some students had drinks thrown from their hands. Others who had not fastened their seat belts were tossed from their seats.
“What’s happening?” Zhao Ruo exclaimed.
The students throughout the cabin were alarmed.
“Attention, students.”
A clear voice sounded over the intercom.
“Our aircraft has already entered Australian airspace. However, we are still about forty minutes from our destination. Australia is famous for its enormous monster population, and its flying monsters are equally numerous. Since passenger aircraft rarely pass through this region, a flock of flying monsters attacked our aircraft just now. The aircraft has already left the flock behind, so there is no need to worry.”
The cabin immediately erupted into discussion.
So they had been attacked by flying monsters.
“Only relatively unintelligent flying monster flocks would attack a passenger aircraft,” Shi Jiang explained to Luo Feng and Zhao Ruo. “Truly powerful monsters wouldn’t dare approach one.”
“Approaching would be suicide.” Luo Feng smiled.
Passenger aircraft were equipped with onboard laser cannons.
At close range, even King level monsters could not evade the terrifying speed of laser fire and would be killed instantly.
Forty minutes later.
The aircraft landed and the hatch opened.
The students and God of War instructors from all three levels quickly disembarked.
“Hoo.”
The moment he stepped outside, Luo Feng felt the vast openness of the landscape.
It was an immense wilderness covered in greenery. Vegetation flourished everywhere, and faint monster silhouettes could be seen in the distance.
“There aren’t any city buildings at all!”
“It’s nothing but wilderness.”
“Finding somewhere to rest at night is going to be troublesome.”
Many students began discussing among themselves.
A black God of War instructor spoke loudly in Chinese.
“All students, please use your communication watches to record the exact coordinates of this location. The current date is 1 August 2057, and the time is 3:15 p.m. Your mission is to survive on the Australian continent for twenty eight days. On the 29th at noon, our aircraft will return to this exact location to pick up all surviving students and take them back to Hongning Base City.”
“Now then.”
“Your life and death survival mission officially begins!”
