Night.
Luo Feng and Xu Xin were each holding a child while watching television together.
“Hm?”
Luo Feng picked up his phone. When he saw the incoming number displayed on the screen, he was greatly shocked.
“What is it?”
Xu Xin asked curiously.
“It’s Hall Master Hong’s number.”
Luo Feng frowned in confusion.
Ever since the battle against the Devouring Beast, Hong and Thunder God had remained unconscious.
Xu Xin was also surprised.
“Who would dare use Hong’s phone?”
“Hello.”
Luo Feng answered the call.
“Luo Feng!”
A firm and powerful voice sounded from the other end.
“Hall Master?”
Luo Feng was stunned.
Beside him, Xu Xin’s eyes widened in shock.
Hong had awakened?
Hong, who had been unconscious for two years, had finally awakened?
This was absolutely world shaking news.
“I’ve just awakened. Thunder God has awakened as well. We’ve just learned everything that happened after we fell unconscious. Thank you for saving our lives, and thank you for saving all of humanity.”
Hong’s voice was filled with joy.
“If you’re free, come to Hongning Base City.”
“Alright, I’ll come immediately.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“Good. Thunder God and I are both here.”
Hong laughed.
After hanging up, Xu Xin could not help asking,
“Hong is alive again?”
“Thunder God as well.”
Luo Feng smiled.
“I’m heading over now. I’ll probably be back late at night.”
“Mhm.”
Xu Xin nodded repeatedly.
Stepping onto the Soaring Heaven Shuttle, Luo Feng rapidly left Jiangnan Base City and headed towards the Extreme Dojo headquarters at top speed.
…
Outside the headquarters of the Extreme Dojo, numerous fighter aircraft were parked everywhere. The place was unusually lively.
“Inspector Luo.”
The guards at headquarters saluted respectfully.
Luo Feng quickly entered the building and, under the guidance of staff members, went directly to a reception room.
Inside the reception room were only Hong and Thunder God.
“Luo Feng.”
The two men, one dressed in black and the other in white, immediately stood up when they saw him.
“Haha, Luo Feng, you’ve really stolen the spotlight.”
Thunder God laughed and punched Luo Feng lightly in the chest.
“Since you saved my life, I’ll let it slide this time. Haha.”
“My second brother’s skin is really thick. Don’t mind him.”
Hong said to Luo Feng.
Thunder God immediately glared.
“You…”
“Hmm. I have the magnanimity of a prime minister. I won’t lower myself to his level.”
Luo Feng replied seriously.
“Damn you two!”
Thunder God glared furiously.
Seeing his expression, Hong and Luo Feng burst into laughter.
“Sit.”
“Let’s all sit down.”
At Hong’s invitation, the three of them took their seats.
These three were the strongest individuals on Earth.
“Luo Feng.”
Thunder God became serious.
“After learning what happened, Hong and I were honestly frightened. We were afraid humanity would be wiped out.”
“Thank you.”
“Mhm.”
Hong nodded.
“Words alone aren’t enough. We’ll put our gratitude into this wine.”
Hong personally poured three glasses.
“Come.”
The three picked up their glasses.
“Cheers!”
All three emptied their glasses in one gulp.
“Luo Feng.”
Hong smiled.
“Thank you for dealing with scum like Atkin as well. If those people had been allowed to continue causing trouble, who knows what chaos they would have created.”
“Especially in my Thunder Dojo.”
Thunder God snorted.
“Sagoni Hru actually wanted to become the Hall Master? Hmph.”
“Someone shameless enough to attack the family of a hero who sacrificed himself for humanity deserves death more than anyone.”
After waking and learning about those events, Thunder God had been furious.
Luo Feng smiled.
“Those were minor matters. Once the three troublemakers were eliminated, every nation and major force became much more stable.”
“Kill the chicken to warn the monkeys.”
Hong nodded slightly.
“The matters on Earth are small. After Thunder God and I woke up, we discussed things and reached a decision.”
“A decision?”
Luo Feng looked at the two of them curiously.
These two had just awakened after two years of unconsciousness. What decision could they have made?
“Luo Feng.”
Thunder God spoke solemnly.
“Both Hong and I inherited some knowledge from ancient civilisation ruins. We can even create translation software.”
“You should have realised that we know quite a bit about the universe.”
“The universe is vast, and there are countless powerful nations. Even our Milky Way is merely a part of the Silver Blue Empire.”
“And a masterless planet like ours, if discovered, would face a nightmare.”
Thunder God’s expression was grim.
Hong nodded.
“That’s right. A nightmare.”
“If we’re lucky, Earth may become the territory of a powerful individual.”
“But the greater possibility is that most Earthlings will be sold as slaves, and afterwards the entire planet will be sold to powerful figures.”
Luo Feng nodded slightly.
He knew all this very well.
The classifications of status, the existence of slavery, and many other systems throughout the universe all revolved around competition and the selection of the strong.
The strong received higher status and better treatment.
The weak suffered greatly.
“The Devouring Beast was powerful, but it was only one creature. We could resist it.”
Hong said seriously.
“But if one of the major forces in the universe sends even a single interstellar fleet, we would have absolutely no ability to resist.”
Thunder God nodded as well.
“There is only one thing we can do.”
“Become stronger.”
“Only then can we protect our home.”
Luo Feng felt a heavy weight in his heart.
He knew even more than Hong and Thunder God.
The fate of primitive planets in the universe was often miserable.
Such stories were commonplace.
Occasionally, a powerful individual would emerge from such a planet and dedicate themselves to protecting their people and their home.
“Luo Feng, you don’t want Earth to suffer that kind of fate, do you?”
Hong looked directly at him.
“Of course not.”
Luo Feng replied.
“Then from now on, cultivate alongside us.”
Thunder God said seriously.
“Regarding martial talent, I’m not boasting, but on Earth only Hong and I truly stand at the top.”
“As for spiritual talent, that naturally belongs to you, Luo Feng.”
“The three of us are the strongest people on Earth. Naturally, we should stand united.”
Hong also looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng smiled and nodded.
“Haha!”
“Hahahaha!”
The three laughed together.
Heroes always appreciated one another.
People often said that masters were lonely.
That loneliness came from having no equal opponents left.
After Hong and Thunder God had fallen unconscious, Luo Feng had become invincible on Earth.
At that time, he had genuinely felt lonely.
Now that Hong and Thunder God had awakened, he was sincerely happy.
At last, he once again had companions walking the path ahead.
“Luo Feng, from today onwards, you’re the third brother.”
Hong laughed happily.
“Little Third, Little Third.”
Thunder God grinned mischievously.
“I am tired. Escort me back to my palace.”
“Little Second, why haven’t you poured the wine yet? I’ll even reward you with some money.”
Luo Feng immediately teased him back.
…
“The path of cultivation is extremely difficult. Only by helping each other and sparring regularly can we improve faster.”
Hong said.
Thunder God nodded in agreement.
“Their comprehension is excellent, but Earthling genes are truly average.”
Babata suddenly commented.
“And neither of them has a proper master. They’re basically fumbling around in the dark.”
“No inheritance and no exceptional genetics.”
“All they possess is talent.”
“I’d bet that in ten or twenty years, they might reach the ninth stage of Planetary Level.”
“But breaking from the ninth stage of Planetary Level into the first stage of Stellar Level?”
“Difficult. Extremely difficult.”
“At least fifty or sixty years.”
Babata said.
“Luo Feng, your original world is already at the third stage of Stellar Level.”
“So your human body can continue evolving.”
“Although your Earthling genetics slow things down somewhat, you’ll still advance much faster than they will.”
Luo Feng’s thoughts stirred.
“Babata, didn’t our Yun Mo Planet lineage also collect martial cultivation manuals? Teach them to Hong and Thunder God.”
Without proper guidance, even geniuses could not go very far.
As fellow Earthlings and two of Earth’s greatest talents, Luo Feng hoped they could keep pace with him.
“Absolutely not.”
Babata immediately rejected the idea.
“Those are secret teachings of the Yun Mo Planet lineage.”
“Passing them to outsiders is a capital offence.”
“Our Yun Mo Planet lineage mainly specialises in spirit readers.”
Luo Feng smiled.
“My teacher was a spirit reader too.”
“The secret techniques he created, such as Soul Imprint, Hexagram, and Tower of the Void, are all spirit reader techniques.”
“As for those martial arts manuals, he probably collected them from elsewhere.”
“Even so, your teacher worked hard to obtain them.”
Babata insisted.
“They cannot be passed on. Anyone who is not a disciple of Yun Mo Planet absolutely cannot learn them.”
Luo Feng continued discussing the matter mentally with Babata.
However, Babata refused to budge.
Luo Feng finally realised that once an intelligent life form became stubborn, persuasion was impossible.
“Then how about this?”
Luo Feng asked.
“Let’s make Hong and Thunder God disciples of Yun Mo Planet.”
“Oh?”
Babata’s eyes widened.
He immediately nodded.
“That works.”
“Uh…”
Luo Feng was speechless.
“That was a bit too straightforward.”
“Take them as disciples.”
Babata urged excitedly.
“Luo Feng, quickly accept them on behalf of the lineage.”
“They are absolutely outstanding disciples.”
“At Planetary Level they already possess their own Domains.”
“When I thought they had died, I even shed tears.”
“Thankfully they’ve awakened.”
“Geniuses like these, two such geniuses, would be fought over by countless factions throughout the universe.”
Although the master of Yun Mo Planet had been a spirit reader,
a lineage could not consist entirely of spirit readers.
Even among the Immortal servants under the Master of Yun Mo Planet, most were Immortal martial artists.
Inside the reception room.
“What could possibly make you so serious?”
Thunder God stared at Luo Feng.
Hong listened attentively as well.
“Here’s the situation.”
Luo Feng said solemnly.
“I once inherited a secret lineage that contains both spirit reader cultivation methods and martial cultivation methods.”
Hong and Thunder God immediately became delighted.
“However, our lineage strictly forbids passing its teachings to outsiders, and I cannot violate that rule.”
“So I’d like to ask whether the two of you would be willing to join my lineage.”
“What faction is it?”
Hong asked.
“What are the requirements?”
“What sect is it?”
Thunder God asked as well.
“What are the rules?”
“At present, only I remain in this lineage.”
Luo Feng replied.
“Damn!”
Thunder God’s eyes widened.
“You should have said that sooner.”
“I thought joining meant becoming someone’s subordinate or cannon fodder.”
“If you’re the only member left, then of course I’m joining.”
“Agreed.”
Hong laughed.
“I’m joining too.”
“By the way, what’s the name of the lineage?”
“Our lineage is known as the Yun Mo Planet lineage.”
Luo Feng smiled.
“But don’t mention the name outside.”
“The entire Yun Mo Planet was destroyed by enemies long ago.”
“Revealing the name would be asking for death.”
Thunder God and Hong exchanged glances.
The sect’s headquarters had already been destroyed?
Excellent.
“That’s actually good news.”
Thunder God laughed.
“It means we’re not tied down by anything.”
Hong smiled as well.
“You two idiots.”
Inside the virtual space, Babata was both furious and helpless.
“You disrespect the lineage. You deserve punishment!”
