“High level War God peak spiritual teacher? Indeed extraordinary.”
Commander Li observed Luo Feng the moment he entered. This legendary genius was wearing simple training clothes, sweat still on his forehead. An invisible force faintly spread outward from him, centered on Luo Feng. That aura felt like an unparalleled ferocious beast.
This made both Commander Li and Deputy Commander Wang feel secretly shocked.
They did not know this was because Luo Feng had trained the Heavenly God Diagram thousands of times that morning. He was too exhausted, so his spiritual force had not been perfectly restrained, and a lot of it was leaking out.
“Everyone, please talk. I will head out first,” Wu Tong said with a smile.
“Thank you, Hall Master Wu.”
Li Dawei and Wang Luohan watched Wu Tong leave. Although their status was very high, Wu Tong belonged to the Extreme Martial Arts School. The Chinese military always maintained a friendly attitude toward people from the Extreme Martial Arts School.
“Commander Li, Deputy Commander Wang, please sit and talk,” Luo Feng said with a smile as he sat down.
Li Dawei and Wang Luohan also smiled and sat down.
Li Dawei said with a smile, “I have long heard of Mr Luo Feng’s name. In the Battle God Palace, I have also seen you from afar. But now meeting you in person, I realise Mr Luo Feng has even more extraordinary presence than in the Battle God Palace.”
“If you keep praising me, I might start floating,” Luo Feng laughed.
“That is not praise, it is admiration,” Li Dawei smiled. “I am sixty two this year, only a middle level War God. My limit is probably already reached in this lifetime. According to our military intelligence, Mr Luo Feng once defeated Phantom Demon Katerlan, Blood Shadow Ivan, Giant Bear Kaita, and Vulture Li Yao alone. Four high level War Gods, three of whom had Black God Sets. This record is simply shocking. Even the Extreme Martial Arts School headquarters rated you as an “Invincible War God”, which is completely accurate. As a martial artist, I truly admire you.”
Luo Feng listened calmly without getting carried away.
However, honestly speaking, anyone would feel pleased hearing such praise, especially from someone like the Southeast Military Region Commander. Still, Luo Feng had not been involved in official circles, but someone who could reach the position of a major military region commander was certainly skilled at handling people.
A simple conversation had already created a favourable impression.
Li Dawei and Wang Luohan were very clear. Although their military status was high, and Li Dawei was a major general of a major military region, Luo Feng was an inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts School. The Extreme Martial Arts School was the most powerful and elite force on Earth.
It had a transcendent status. Although it did not found a nation, none of the five major powers dared to provoke it, and all were willing to build a relationship with it.
If they wanted Luo Feng’s help, they naturally had to show respect. Otherwise, if he turned them away, even military big shots could do nothing.
“Mr Luo Feng, if you do not mind, let me be bold and call you Luo Feng. You can also drop the titles. Just call me Li Dawei, Old Li, or Brother Li,” Li Dawei said with a smile.
“Haha, then I will call you Old Li,” Luo Feng smiled. “Old Li, just say what you came here for.”
In fact, Luo Feng already had some vague guesses from the Extreme Martial Arts School’s email about the responsibilities of an inspector.
“Alright, I will be direct,” Li Dawei said seriously. “Although humanity has powerful warriors and laser cannons, the strength of the monster race is simply too great.”
“I am not exaggerating their strength. In terms of number of strong beings, even land monsters far exceed humans,” Li Dawei sighed. “If not for laser cannon deterrence, how could humanity live safely inside base cities?”
Luo Feng frowned slightly and listened quietly.
“Humans and land monsters are in a stalemate.”
“We do not use laser cannons against King level monsters, and King level monsters also do not participate in beast tides against base cities. It is an unspoken agreement,” Li Dawei said. “This agreement was actually made in the past when your hall master Hong negotiated with the monster kings.”
Luo Feng was startled.
Humans and monsters negotiated? Hong was the one who did it?
“Land monsters and aerial monsters do not pressure us too much. Last year, China experienced one level one beast tide, six level two beast tides, and twenty one level three beast tides. These are all within our tolerance,” Li Dawei said casually.
But Luo Feng was secretly shocked.
These were classified figures. He had not known that the country faced so many attacks every year.
“The greatest threat to our country is ocean monsters,” Li Dawei said seriously. “Powerful sea monsters live deep in the ocean. Even laser cannons cannot threaten them. And their numbers are far greater than land and aerial monsters. How could they ever agree to negotiate?”
“Moreover, if human warriors enter the sea, their strength drops to only twenty or thirty percent. We simply cannot take the initiative to attack,” Li Dawei shook his head.
Luo Feng nodded silently.
Indeed. Fighting in water greatly reduces strength. Even the island at Mist Island had nearly killed him. Let alone the vast ocean.
“So we can only defend passively,” Li Dawei said with a hint of sorrow. “Sea monsters can even travel along rivers into the mainland. Some are capable of carving out waterways. We cannot allow them to invade freely, so we rely on terrain, laser cannons, and the military to resist.”
“Losses are heavy.”
“Even if we kill hundreds of millions of sea monsters at once, the ocean produces countless monsters every day. Internal killings among them mean new monsters are constantly born. Our efforts have almost no effect on the overall population,” Li Dawei said helplessly.
Luo Feng also felt powerless.
Indeed. Monsters also kill each other. Human kills are insignificant compared to the entire ocean population.
“So I hope that in critical moments, you can occasionally help our Southeast Military Region deal with powerful sea monsters,” Li Dawei said. “Do not worry, King level monsters will not enter inland rivers. Laser cannons are waiting for them.”
A single Invincible War God could sometimes be more effective than an army of 100,000.
“Alright, I accept,” Luo Feng said without hesitation.
This was a war for human survival. He should act.
“Thank you,” Li Dawei said gratefully.
An Invincible War God, and a spiritual念师 at that, was more valuable than ten laser cannons in sea monster tide battles without King level monsters.
“Luo Feng, according to our rules, the military will grant you the rank of Army Major General. It has no real authority, but it represents status. It will also reduce trouble when you interact with the military,” Li Dawei smiled. “This is already quite high. Even a division commander is only a Major General.”
“Haha, Old Li, to be honest, I once wanted to apply to military school during my entrance exams,” Luo Feng laughed.
“Oh? Then why did you not join?” Li Dawei asked.
“Life takes unexpected turns,” Luo Feng shook his head with a smile.
What once failed to happen in youth had now led him to become a Major General.
In today’s world, there was no real navy anymore. As for air force, aircraft were too expensive, so their scale was limited. The army was now the main force. A Major General was already a very high rank.
“Besides the rank, as an Invincible War God, you will also receive a personal guard unit of 900 soldiers,” Li Dawei said.
“Oh? What about the Thunderbolt Martial School inspector?” Luo Feng asked with a smile.
“They have 500 personnel,” Li Dawei and Wang Luohan both laughed.
The two schools had always competed. Extreme Martial Arts School and Thunderbolt Martial School were the top two global forces, founded during the Great Nirvana period. Hong was considered number one in the world, and Thunder God was second only to him.
With that conversation, Luo Feng became a Chinese Army Major General and received a 900 man guard unit. His duty was simple: assist the Southeast Military Region in resisting sea monster attacks when necessary.
…
Time passed day by day, and September 1st approached.
On the evening of August 31st, in the viewing room, a video call with Xu Xin appeared on the screen.
“Luo Feng, what do you think? Does this dress look good for the banquet?” Xu Xin asked, wearing a light yellow evening gown.
“It is alright,” Luo Feng nodded with a smile.
“Why do you always say just alright?” Xu Xin got annoyed. “From now on, you can only choose between three answers, not good, average, or very good.”
Luo Feng rubbed his nose and smiled. “Alright, then this one is average. The purple one you wore earlier looks better.”
“Fine, I will try another one,” Xu Xin said, running off screen.
Suddenly, Luo Feng’s communication watch rang.
Beep, beep.
“Hm?”
“An email?” He opened it immediately.
Title: “Departure Notice for Ancient Civilization Ruins.”
