“Drop a stone in water.”
Luo Feng rushed into the waters of the Huangpu River. In the water, the naked eye could only see all kinds of strange aquatic beasts. He immediately spread his spiritual force, covering a radius of one hundred metres. Within this range alone, there were over a hundred fish type beasts of different kinds, along with many other crustacean beasts.
“So many,” Luo Feng felt even more deeply the threat sea beasts posed to humanity.
He continued diving downward.
……
At this moment, one flying saucer shaped combat aircraft after another flew overhead, scattering large numbers of new type solidified incendiary bombs like heavenly maidens scattering flowers. With the war base as the centre, within a full radius of one thousand metres, including both banks of the Huangpu River and the river surface, this weapon, hated most by sea beasts, was deployed.
Whoosh, whoosh.
Immediately, a thousand metre radius turned into a sea of blazing fire. Sea beasts did not fear fire in terms of burning, but the water in their bodies was rapidly evaporating.
Some coelenterate type beasts, such as jellyfish, after mutation might survive on land for two or three hours. But under flame roasting, once their water evaporated, they could not even last two or three minutes. Depending on species, their survival time varied under fire.
The solidified incendiary bombs kept burning on the water surface.
Water could not extinguish them. Mud could not smother them. Even if they rolled on the ground, they could not shake off the flames. Instead, the fire would spread even more. In other words, even if they escaped the sea of fire, they would still remain burning.
This was precisely the weapon most hated by sea beasts.
Undoubtedly, under this sea of flames, the overall strength of the sea beast army dropped by at least seventy percent.
Even so, it was still extremely difficult for the war base to withstand this wave of attack.
At the bottom of the Huangpu River, fifty metres deep.
After decades of relentless sea beast invasions and impacts from giant aquatic beasts, the Huangpu River was indeed much deeper than before.
“These three big guys?” Under the reflection of the flames above the river, Luo Feng at the riverbed immediately saw three enormous creatures in the distance. The smallest among them was about sixty metres long, while the largest reached over ninety metres.
If they stood upright, they would be equivalent to a thirty storey building.
Their common feature was sharp horns. These horns repeatedly rammed the foundation of the war base. Each impact drove the horn seven to eight metres deep, shaking the entire base. But the openings they created were still not enough for their huge bodies to enter.
So they could only keep ramming, trying to widen the gap. Each time they advanced only a few metres before continuing to ram. At present, they had only penetrated about ten metres.
“Two Shaking Mountain Whales? And that one… Hiss Sky Beast?” Luo Feng was shocked. The largest one was the Hiss Sky Beast. The other two Shaking Mountain Whales were mid level lord beasts. That Hiss Sky Beast, however, should be a high level lord beast.
High level lord beasts were not something Luo Feng usually cared about.
But this was the Hiss Sky Beast.
Although Luo Feng knew very little about sea beasts, he still recognised some of the most famous and dangerous ones. The Hiss Sky Beast was one of the most terrifying sea creatures.
“The Hiss Sky Beast has immense brute strength. Its strongest attack is sound wave attack.”
“Sound wave attack?”
Luo Feng frowned slightly and immediately controlled the Black God Suit to form ear protection, sealing his ears tightly. The helmet also formed a thick protective layer around the ears.
“First kill the Hiss Sky Beast as fast as possible, then deal with the two Shaking Mountain Whales.”
Stepping on the Dun Tian Shuttle, Luo Feng turned into a black lightning bolt and charged forward.
The Dun Tian Shuttle was indeed mysterious. Even underwater it still increased his speed. No wonder even Hong valued it so highly.
“Roar.”
The massive Hiss Sky Beast suddenly turned its head without warning and let out a piercing sound. The sound then seemed to become silent.
Buzz, buzz.
The water between the Hiss Sky Beast and Luo Feng was instantly blasted into a vacuum channel. All surrounding water vanished as the terrifying sound wave struck Luo Feng directly. The speed was so fast there was no time to dodge.
This sound wave attack, which terrified countless War Gods on Earth, directly landed on Luo Feng.
When it passed through the special material of the Black God Suit, it was rapidly weakened.
Combined with Luo Feng’s ear protection, the area most affected by sound waves, the head, was effectively shielded, allowing him to survive the attack easily.
“Hm?” Luo Feng only felt a slight headache, nothing more, and could not help but smile.
“As expected, the Black God Suit is powerful.”
“It can resist sharp attacks.”
“It can greatly reduce impact force.”
“It can even greatly weaken sound waves.”
This treasure from the No. 9 ancient civilization ruin was truly extraordinary.
Whoosh.
After blocking the sound wave attack, Luo Feng turned into lightning and rushed straight at the massive Hiss Sky Beast. At that moment, the surrounding river water began to tremble again as invisible attacks struck him.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
Six curved blades flashed like moonlight across the water about seventy to eighty metres to the left. A painful cry rang out, the water churned, and milky white blood spread.
“Hmph, a transparent jellyfish type beast actually trying to ambush a spiritual念师? Seeking death,” Luo Feng sneered.
Among sea beasts, there were many jellyfish types. Three known species were completely transparent and invisible to the naked eye. Although their attack methods varied, they were collectively called transparent jellyfish type beasts and were extremely dangerous to human warriors.
But Luo Feng’s spiritual force had already detected it.
“Hiss Sky Beast! Shaking Mountain Whale!” Luo Feng’s eyes turned cold like a butcher slaughtering sheep as he charged at the three massive lord beasts.
……
The battle between humans and monsters remained as brutal as ever.
It continued until around 8am the next morning.
Although the sea beast army did not break through the war base, a small number of lord beasts still managed to infiltrate. In addition, large groups of electric beasts, toxin spitting beasts, and shockwave bubble beasts caused casualties inside the base.
Inside the war base command hall.
Military officials and assisting War Gods gathered. The atmosphere was good.
“Thank you all. This time we successfully repelled a sea beast attack wave. It is estimated there will not be another large scale attack within six months,” Li Dawei said in a good mood.
The greatest contributor was Luo Feng.
Among all War Gods present, including those from the military, only Luo Feng and Lei Meng had Black God Suits. Although Lei Meng was strong, sea beasts could retreat when they could not win, and killing lord beasts was very difficult for him.
Luo Feng was different.
With the Dun Tian Shuttle and flying blades, no lord beast could outrun him.
In this battle:
Lei Meng killed two lord beasts and also helped repel many others.
Luo Feng killed fifteen lord beasts.
“Everyone, sell your beast materials to the HR Alliance,” an old man in the command hall said with a smile.
“If you want to sell to the dojo, come to me,” Li Dawei added.
War Gods risked their lives for the military and usually did not ask for payment. However, beast corpses they personally obtained were usually sold to the HR Alliance, as it offered the highest prices. The Chinese military also supported this, since the HR Alliance operated widely in China and the country also benefited.
“This time, Inspector Luo Feng earned the most.”
“Inspector Luo Feng, you really made a fortune this time.”
A group of War Gods congratulated him with smiles.
Because of Luo Feng’s presence, none of the War Gods at the front line died this time.
“I will keep only these three lord beast materials,” Luo Feng said. His large black backpack opened automatically and materials fell to the ground.
Although he killed fifteen lord beasts, he only kept parts from three high level lord beasts.
The rest he treated as a donation to the country.
“Haha, then I will gladly accept them,” Li Dawei said.
“Commander Li, you are not even pretending to be modest,” someone joked.
Li Dawei laughed. “With Luo Feng being this rich, does he even care about such a small amount?”
The old man inspecting the materials frowned at Li Dawei.
“Old Li, although the others are mostly low or mid level lord beasts, there are many of them. I estimate the total value is about 30 billion.”
“Hiss Sky Beast?”
“Nine Headed Serpent Dragon?”
The old man was shocked. These two high level lord beasts were even more powerful than Iron Armoured Dragons and much harder to kill in water.
“I will value these two at 20 billion each, and the last one at 12 billion. Total 52 billion Chinese yuan,” the old man said.
“Fine,” Luo Feng nodded.
……
Luo Feng was not particularly happy about this battle. Money was secondary now that he was an Invincible War God. Real treasures could not be bought with money.
At the base, Li Dawei personally saw him off.
“How were the losses this time?” Luo Feng asked.
“Over one thousand soldiers died, and nearly another thousand were disabled,” Li Dawei sighed. “This is already considered good. With you here, the most dangerous lord beasts were eliminated. One of you is equivalent to an army of two hundred thousand.”
He shook his head.
In wars against sea beasts, human casualties had always been extremely heavy, which was why he arranged this gathering of War Gods.
“And,” Li Dawei said with a bitter smile, “the billions of sea beasts we killed this time are just a drop in the ocean. Literally, a drop in the ocean.”
……
Watching Luo Feng leave in his intelligent combat aircraft, Li Dawei stood with a complicated expression and murmured softly, “I am already old, but Luo Feng, you still have infinite possibilities.”
……
At the Huangpu River war base, after sending Luo Feng off, Li Dawei’s words made Luo Feng’s heart surge like a storm.
In the past, Luo Feng trained mainly for his parents and for his younger brother to stand again. After becoming an Invincible War God, although he still trained, he no longer felt much pressure in his heart.
His enemy Li Yao was no longer worth mentioning.
His family was living well.
Money no longer meant much.
Power and status? Even major figures from families, corporations, the military, and government treated him warmly.
“Dad, Mum.”
At Mingyue Community, Luo Feng had just returned home.
“You are back. Breakfast is ready, Qin Ma has prepared it,” his father called out while reading.
“Your brother is out running. After his legs recovered, he loves running,” his father said happily. “By the way, Xiao Feng, when are you planning to get married? Your mother and I just want to hold a grandson.”
Luo Feng sat at the dining table, drinking hot porridge and listening to his father’s chatter. Suddenly he felt… happiness. In the war base, soldiers risked their lives fighting, while in the base city civilians lived peacefully. Perhaps this was why Li Dawei and countless soldiers fought so desperately.
“Hey, A Wen.”
Sitting on the floor of the training hall, Luo Feng said with a smile on his phone, “What, you took your girlfriend on a trip this summer? You are quite romantic. Alright, I do not have time recently, I have to go out again at the end of the month. I will contact you later. Bye.”
A smile appeared on his face. A Wen was doing well, his parents were happy, his brother was in a relationship…
Then he remembered Li Dawei’s words:
“I just want… my descendants to have a future and hope.”
“A future and hope,” Luo Feng murmured. “I also want my parents to enjoy their old age. I also want my brother to get married, have children, and raise them. I do not want any of this to be destroyed by monsters. I want my descendants to have a future and hope.”
At that moment, his resolve became stronger than ever.
“I also want to pursue the limits of life, keep surpassing myself, become a councillor, become a chairman, even surpass them. Keep improving.”
“I also want to be like Hong, using my own strength to deter the land beast hordes.”
“I also want my descendants to have a future and hope.”
His eyes became firm.
“Work hard.”
“Move forward.”
“Surpass.”
“When I die and close my eyes, I do not want to regret not trying hard enough.”
This spiritual awakening made his conviction unprecedentedly firm. Throughout September, Luo Feng devoted himself entirely to blade techniques, movement techniques, physical training, and the Heaven’s Secret Diagram. He no longer felt boredom, only inner joy.
His genes were evolving.
His strength was improving.
This kind of transformation of life itself was intoxicating.
Forced training was less effective, but when he enjoyed it and loved the feeling of life evolving, his progress became astonishing.
On the morning of September 29, when he tested himself, his punch force reached 258103kg, surpassing 256000kg, officially stepping into the physical standard of a high level War God.
……
At 2pm on September 29.
Wearing a blood red SS grade combat suit purchased from the War God Palace, carrying an SS grade Blood Shadow Battle Saber, Luo Feng stood like a crystal clear jade. His entire presence was like a rising blade of heaven, full of unstoppable will.
“Dad, Mum, I am going on a long trip this time, duration uncertain. Luo Hua, take care of them while I am away.”
“Got it, brother.”
“Be careful outside,” his parents reminded him.
Luo Feng smiled slightly and walked toward the intelligent combat aircraft. The hatch opened automatically and he entered.
Whoosh.
The deep blue triangular aircraft rose rapidly, leaving the Jiangnan Base City defence zone, then turned into a streak of light heading toward the Global Headquarters of the Extreme Dojo.
