In recent times, the name “Luo Feng” in Mingyue Community had become well known not only throughout the entire neighbourhood, but also among residents in surrounding areas near Lotus Lake Park.
Lotus Lake Park, located next to Mingyue Community, is a public park open to everyone.
Back then, Luo Hua and Xiao Nan had met by chance in this park. It is a very lively place and an important hub for spreading news. Most of the rumours about Luo Feng had spread from here.
The first rumour was that a special triangular flying combat aircraft was parked in Mingyue Community, and it was said to belong to Luo Feng. According to some knowledgeable people, an ordinary military aircraft costs over 1 billion yuan, and that is already mass produced. Aircraft capable of flying alone in the wilderness zone usually cost over 10 billion yuan. Even among war gods, only some are willing to buy them. As for this seemingly special aircraft, its price was likely even higher.
When people nearby thought of “100 billion yuan”, they were completely stunned.
The second rumour was that Luo Feng had become the Inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo in Jiangnan Base City. What kind of position is an inspector? It is above even the branch president. In the entire Jiangnan Base City, only a few people rank above him. Even the city mayor and military generals must treat him politely. Just hearing this level of status makes people instinctively give a thumbs up.
The third rumour involved two well known disabled people in Mingyue Community. One was Luo Feng’s younger brother, Luo Hua, a genius martial artist, who had once attempted suicide by drowning in Lotus Lake Park due to emotional issues. At that time, his disability and suicide attempt had been discussed for a long time in the park. Yet later, this disabled man had actually recovered and grown back his legs.
The other was Zhang Ke, a battle general level warrior who was highly respected. Many people had seen him after his arm was severed, only to later see both arms fully restored. It was later revealed in Mingyue Community that both Luo Hua and Zhang Ke had regained their limbs because of a highly precious medicine obtained through Luo Feng.
These three major rumours caused endless discussion.
Of course, many people also envied Zhen Nan’s parents. Back then, they had opposed their daughter’s relationship, which even led to Luo Hua’s suicide attempt. But now, they had happily accepted Luo Hua, and it was said that Luo Hua had even bought them a detached villa in their community.
People could not help but sigh. They were originally ordinary people, yet their lives had completely transformed.
Everyone understood that all of this came from one mysterious figure, Luo Feng. At only 19 years old, he had already stood at the peak of Jiangnan Base City, and was also a major figure across the entire Earth. Knowing that he still did not have a girlfriend made many people start thinking differently.
If marrying his younger brother already brought such glory, then marrying Luo Feng himself would bring prosperity for generations.
In Mingyue Community, inside a training hall on the first floor of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo.
Luo Feng, in training clothes, sat cross legged on the Sky Piercing Shuttle, hovering in mid air. Twelve blade fragments flew around him like bees, accelerating and slowing down as they crossed paths, sometimes missing each other by just 0.01 seconds.
“Done.”
A hint of joy appeared on Luo Feng’s face. The twelve blades came to a stop.
He looked down at his communication watch. The timer showed 3.08.
“Passed.”
“The second diagram of the Divine Chart of Heaven is finally mastered,” Luo Feng said with joy. “Next, I will start practising the third diagram.”
In truth, he had already been just short of success, which was why he completed it in only a few days. The third diagram and everything after it would be the real challenge.
“Golden Thread Net.”
Luo Feng looked toward a golden net in the corner of the training hall. With a thought, it floated up and quickly unfolded. What had looked small when bundled became extremely large when spread out, measuring 8.3 metres by 6.1 metres, made of dense golden threads about 5 millimetres thick.
“Cover.”
The golden net dropped like a magic carpet toward the ground.
“Wrap.”
It then moved like a giant hand, wrapping around the nearby strength testing machine.
“To use the Golden Thread Net, speed is essential,” Luo Feng thought. “I must trap Li Yao with it, so the control speed must be fast enough.”
Clearly, controlling this net was far slower than controlling flying blades or the Sky Piercing Shuttle, because of its huge surface area and air resistance.
…
All morning, Luo Feng trained in his private hall on the first floor of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo.
The dojo itself was usually empty, as very few warriors trained there. So the director Zhou Zhengyong and three supervisors had specially arranged for one training hall on the first floor of the Yangzhou branch to be modified into a dedicated space for Luo Feng, fully equipped for war god level training.
This hall had become his private training room.
“Hello, Mom, is lunch ready?” Luo Feng asked with a smile as he entered the house.
“Almost, almost,” his mother said from the kitchen, where she was cooking personally with a helper.
In the living room, his father was sitting on the sofa watching the news.
“Brother, you are back,” a man and a woman came out of a bedroom.
The young man looked slightly pale and thin, but still tall and handsome. The girl holding his hand looked a little shy. It was Luo Hua and Zhen Nan.
“Xiao Nan is here,” Luo Feng smiled and nodded. “Luo Hua, take her out for a walk this afternoon.”
“Got it, brother,” Luo Hua replied with a smile. “By the way, I have some girls’ photos here that people asked Xiao Nan to bring you. Want to take a look? There are quite a few beauties.”
Luo Feng froze slightly.
“Also,” his mother called from the kitchen, “I met a lot of matchmakers at the park this morning. I also have many photos. There are some very good girls. I am quite satisfied with a few of them.”
Luo Feng rubbed his forehead.
Ever since he returned, this kind of thing had become constant.
“Mom, I told you not to mention this anymore,” he said helplessly.
“Brother, just take a look. It does not hurt. These are all excellent girls,” Luo Hua added, immediately earning a pinch from Zhen Nan.
Luo Feng shook his head.
“Dad, Mom,” he said, “I will not be home for dinner tonight. I have something to do this afternoon.”
That afternoon, around 4 pm, Luo Feng took his intelligent aircraft from Yangzhou City to the main city area.
He parked it at the Extreme Martial Arts headquarters landing platform, then took a special vehicle to the airport.
At the airport, Luo Feng wore jeans and a black T shirt. Inside was a black inner armour formed from the Black God Suit. Hidden within it were the 365 blades of the Sky Piercing Shuttle.
At that moment, a large passenger aircraft descended.
The hatch opened and a staircase extended automatically.
Six people, including Luo Feng, went to the VIP pickup area.
“Xu Xin.”
He looked up.
Among the passengers descending the stairs, a girl in a light green short sleeve top and denim shorts immediately caught his attention.
“Such a wealthy family is different indeed. Land is so scarce in the base city, yet rich people live in such quiet areas,” Luo Feng said with a smile.
“You call that rich?” Xu Xin replied. “You are not rich? The total liquid assets of our family combined are not even worth your intelligent aircraft.”
“How do you know about my intelligent aircraft?” Luo Feng was surprised.
“Luo Inspector,” Xu Xin smiled. “Your aircraft is parked in Mingyue Community, with no pilot going in or out. Are you the pilot yourself?”
Luo Feng was speechless.
The HR Alliance and other high level groups already understood that he must be using an intelligent aircraft.
“Want to take a ride in it?” Luo Feng suggested.
Xu Xin hesitated, then looked at her watch. “It is getting late. If we go and come back, it will be almost midnight.”
“It is fast,” Luo Feng smiled. “One, come over.”
The Sky Piercing Shuttle blades emerged and formed beneath him. He pulled Xu Xin into his arms and soared upward.
Xu Xin was stunned.
She was flying.
Then she realised she was being held.
“Xu Xin,” Luo Feng said softly, and kissed her.
In the wind high above the ground, Xu Xin felt dazed as her first kiss was taken.
After a moment, their lips separated.
“From now on, you are my girlfriend,” Luo Feng said.
“You are so domineering,” Xu Xin said, glaring at him. “What if I do not agree?”
“I will let go and you will fall,” he said with a smile, loosening his hand slightly.
Xu Xin immediately panicked. “Be careful, it is 70 to 80 metres above the ground.”
“Still dare to refuse?” he smiled.
“Hmph,” Xu Xin snorted softly. “You never confessed properly. I thought you did not dare to.”
“I did not have enough strength before,” Luo Feng said softly. “I did not want you to worry about me.”
Xu Xin’s eyes turned slightly red, and she buried herself in his arms.
The intelligent aircraft hovered nearby as the two embraced in mid air.
That night was destined to be extraordinary.
In outer space above Earth, stars shone endlessly.
A golden stream of light suddenly shot across space at near light speed, piercing through the atmosphere and plunging toward Earth.
It entered the Pacific Ocean, hundreds of nautical miles from the former Hawaii islands.
The ocean surface showed no disturbance at all.
Even all satellites and monitoring systems on Earth detected nothing.
Deep under the sea, at 3,000 metres depth, the golden light vanished, leaving behind a black egg about 12 metres in diameter, covered in strange golden patterns.
And in that moment, the entire Earth remained completely unaware.
