This blood red triangular fighter aircraft had sleek lines, giving the impression of a ferocious avian beast poised to attack. At this moment, the blood red triangular fighter was slowly descending from the sky, while all the students of the Elite Training Camp and the God of War instructors below remained silent.
No one dared make a sound.
The fighter landed, and with a swish, the hatch opened!
A yellow skinned man and a white man stepped out of the hatch simultaneously. They seemed to stride through empty air as though invisible steps existed where ordinary people could not see them, walking directly onto the grass. The sight left all the students staring wide eyed.
“Existences beyond the God of War level, and there are two of them!”
Luo Feng was also startled. “It seems these two should be the two Inspectors from the headquarters of the Extreme Dojo.”
The two Inspectors stood on the grass, one on each side, quietly waiting for the Dojo Master. More than two hundred pairs of eyes from the Elite Training Camp were fixed on the hatch. Everyone was anticipating the legendary world’s strongest fighter, the undisputed number one in the world. Finally, a figure emerged from the hatch.
Luo Feng did not even dare blink, afraid of missing a moment, as he carefully observed the man walking out of the hatch.
He stood about 1.9 metres tall, wearing black trousers and a black jacket. His sharp crew cut gave the impression of a spear about to pierce the heavens. As for his age, there was not a single wrinkle visible on his face, making him appear to be in his twenties.
However, that aura was clearly not something an ordinary young man could possess.
Taking a single step, he exited the hatch and swept his gaze across everyone in the Elite Training Camp.
Rumble!
Luo Feng felt his mind explode with a roar. The surrounding world twisted completely. The morning sun vanished from sight, and all the students of the Elite Training Camp were horrified to discover that the sky seemed to have changed from morning into night in an instant. There was no light at all, only darkness.
A black world.
And at the centre of that black world, the most dazzling presence was that black haired man.
He was a god.
An omnipotent god.
Even the God of War instructors present felt no desire to resist. They could not even form the thought of resistance. Facing the gaze of this black haired man, even Luo Feng, whose strength had greatly increased, felt that a single glance from him could kill him.
He was Hong.
The world’s strongest fighter.
Beside Hong, the two Inspectors were completely overshadowed. The Inspectors were existences beyond the God of War level, yet compared to Hong, the gap was simply too vast.
“The students in this batch of the Elite Training Camp are quite good.”
A cold voice rang out.
As soon as the words fell, all the students and instructors trapped in darkness discovered that the endless night had vanished, and the morning sun had reappeared. Even so, everyone felt an overwhelming mental pressure, like ants facing an elephant.
Before Hong, everyone felt insignificant.
“Dojo Master, there are indeed quite a few promising talents in this batch,” said Inspector Wang, the leading figure from the Elite Training Camp.
Nearly all the students looked at Hong as though they were looking at their idol.
The spiritual leader of martial artists.
“Hm?”
Hong took a step and appeared beside a student as if he had teleported.
All the students, instructors, and even the Inspectors turned to look. The black haired man, Hong, was staring at a young student.
Luo Feng.
Luo Feng stared blankly at the black haired man before him. Why was the world’s strongest fighter looking at him?
“Hong is looking at Luo Feng!”
“Why is Chief Dojo Master Hong looking at Luo Feng?”
Among the students, Candace felt anxious and dissatisfied.
The three Inspectors, however, were not surprised. After all, Luo Feng’s contract had originally been personally drafted by the Dojo Master.
“So you’re Luo Feng?”
The black haired man’s voice was somewhat gentle, yet still firm and powerful as he looked down at the slightly youthful young man before him.
“Yes, Chief Dojo Master,” Luo Feng replied respectfully.
The black haired man grinned slightly, the corners of his mouth lifting.
“The Dojo Master smiled?”
“The Dojo Master actually smiled?”
The three Inspectors were shocked. They knew very well what the world’s strongest fighter was like. Even towards other existences beyond the God of War level, he rarely offered a smile.
The black haired man studied Luo Feng and could not help exclaiming, “What powerful spiritual force!”
Luo Feng was stunned.
The three Inspectors were stunned.
The entire training camp was stunned.
Powerful spiritual force?
Was he talking about Luo Feng?
Was Luo Feng a Spirit Reader?
“I… I… I…”
Luo Feng was completely dumbfounded.
The secret of him being a Spirit Reader had just been publicly revealed by the world’s strongest fighter, Hong, in front of the three Inspectors, all the students, and all the God of War instructors. His spiritual force remained hidden within his sea of consciousness and had never been released. Even the Inspectors had not noticed it. Yet the Chief Dojo Master had discovered it and openly announced it.
“I didn’t expect your spiritual force to be this strong. No wonder…”
Hong nodded slightly, seemingly very satisfied with Luo Feng.
Then he turned his gaze towards the other students.
“You are the most elite geniuses among the younger generation of the entire world. Your goal is not to become God of War fighters. Your goal is to become existences beyond the God of War level. I hope that someone among you can reach that step.”
His words seemed to possess infinite magic, directly penetrating into people’s hearts.
All the students felt their blood boiling under this invisible influence.
Soon after, Hong turned and left.
…
Only when Hong disappeared from sight did the students erupt into excitement. Even the God of War instructors became animated.
“Chief Dojo Master Hong is too powerful.”
“He’s like a god. Just now, I felt that he was the ruler of heaven and earth itself.”
“Exactly.”
The students excitedly discussed it with their compatriots in their own languages.
“Luo Feng, you’re a Spirit Reader?”
“You were hiding such a trump card. A Spirit Reader!”
Many of the Chinese students exclaimed in amazement.
However, everyone present was a member of the Elite Training Camp. The camp gathered the greatest geniuses from around the world, and there were already quite a few Spirit Readers among them. Although they were surprised, there was not much jealousy.
Of course, if they knew Luo Feng’s spiritual force was powerful enough to dominate most advanced God of War fighters, they would be utterly speechless.
“Luo Feng.”
A slightly hoarse voice sounded.
The surroundings immediately became quiet.
Turning around, Luo Feng saw Inspector Wang approaching.
“Come with me. The Chief Dojo Master wants to see you.”
“Yes.”
Though confused, Luo Feng followed Inspector Wang.
Meanwhile…
Within the crowd, the tall blond youth Candace stared coldly at the departing Luo Feng, gritting his teeth.
“A Spirit Reader? So you really are one. It seems Aunt and the others were right to suspect you. This must be reported to her immediately.”
“William, I’m heading back to my residence.”
“Hurry up. We’ll probably be setting off soon,” William replied with a nod.
Inside a quiet tea room.
Hong sat holding a teacup and sighed.
“Luo Feng possesses such astonishing spiritual force at such a young age. It seems his innate dormant spiritual power was already extraordinarily strong. Among all the Spirit Readers I’ve seen, he would rank near the very top. His brain domain breadth must be exceptionally high. No wonder his comprehension is so remarkable, allowing him to cultivate Ninefold Thunder Blade to the fourth level in such a short time.”
“However, since he has spiritual force, why has he been hiding it all this time?”
A thought crossed Hong’s mind.
“By exposing it today, I may have caused him considerable trouble.”
Indeed.
Luo Feng was troubled.
As he followed Inspector Wang, his heart was filled with frustration. Hong had suddenly revealed his secret without warning, completely catching him off guard.
His strength was considerable now, but the Vulture and Scorpion couple were no weak opponents either. He had originally planned to proceed steadily and carefully.
He had remained hidden while the Vulture and Scorpion couple stood in the open, giving him every advantage.
But now everything had suddenly been exposed.
“The Vulture and Scorpion couple aren’t fools. They’ll probably realise I’m the killer.”
Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
“The Dojo Master is inside. Go in,” Inspector Wang said.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng entered the quiet tea room.
“Sit.”
Although his voice remained somewhat cold, Hong’s eyes carried obvious interest as he looked at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng sat properly.
“Luo Feng, your spiritual force should already have reached the threshold of an advanced God of War fighter. Among God of War fighters, there are very few stronger than you. Why are you still hiding your strength? Do you have an enemy beyond the God of War level?”
Hong looked at him.
“If my words today have caused you trouble, don’t worry. If your enemy is an existence beyond the God of War level, I guarantee they won’t dare touch a single hair on your head.”
Hong understood that his words might have caused complications, so he made this promise.
For Hong…
There was no one in the world who dared defy his word.
“An existence beyond the God of War level?”
Luo Feng could not help laughing bitterly.
He was not powerful enough to provoke enemies of that calibre.
“Chief Dojo Master, I had a conflict with the son of the Vulture and Scorpion couple in the wilderness outside Jiangnan Base City and killed him. The Vulture and Scorpion couple are offering an enormous bounty for the killer’s identity.”
Luo Feng answered honestly.
“My strength only increased dramatically after I obtained Dragon Blood.”
There was no need to lie before Hong.
What status did Hong possess?
To him, the conflict between Luo Feng and the Vulture and Scorpion couple was merely ants fighting each other. Had Hong not just said that even an existence beyond the God of War level would not dare touch Luo Feng if Hong spoke a single sentence?
“Oh, I’ve heard about the one hundred billion bounty.”
Hong nodded.
Anyone with common sense could understand.
If a young martial artist without power or influence had not been pushed to the limit, how would he dare kill the son of two advanced God of War fighters?
“Since I’ve revealed this matter, it won’t be long before Vulture Li Yao learns about it.”
Hong nodded slightly.
Luo Feng felt helpless.
Of course he would.
One sentence from a supreme figure like Hong had completely disrupted all his plans.
But who would dare complain about Hong?
If he had to face the Vulture and Scorpion couple head on, then so be it.
He no longer feared them.
The only concern was his family.
“Chief Dojo Master,” Luo Feng said sincerely, “I’m not afraid of the Vulture and Scorpion couple. I’m only worried about my family.”
“Don’t worry. Nothing will happen to your family.”
Hong spoke.
The moment he heard those words, Luo Feng felt immense relief.
Was there anyone in the world whose word carried more weight than Hong’s?
Presidents and prime ministers might reverse themselves tomorrow, but Hong’s words were like sacred law, beyond challenge.
“Judging by Li Yao’s character, once you head to the Australian continent for this life and death expedition, he will certainly take the opportunity to make a move against you,” Hong said.
“You and he are both martial artists. It would not be appropriate for me to interfere.”
Hong stood high above all others.
Given his status, he truly could not be bothered interfering in the affairs of ordinary martial artists unless necessary.
“Whether Li Yao survives on the Australian continent remains to be seen.”
Luo Feng’s gaze was resolute.
Hong nodded slightly.
“Luo Feng, you belong to the Extreme Dojo. Let me remind you of one thing. Li Yao once entered an ancient civilisation relic and returned successfully. He obtained a Black God Suit. Its greatest feature is that it can form protective armour according to one’s will, even covering the entire body, including the nose and mouth.”
Luo Feng was startled.
“Once it completely covers the body, your flying knives will be unable to penetrate it.”
Hong glanced at Luo Feng’s trouser pocket.
“Of course, nobody keeps their entire face covered all the time. If the eyes are covered, they won’t be able to see.”
Luo Feng was secretly shocked.
The so called Black God Suit could transform into protective armour at will. It was incredible.
“So you still have opportunities to kill him through surprise attacks.”
“Overall, his defence is stronger.”
“Your ability to escape is stronger.”
“His attack power is greater.”
“Your attacks are more unpredictable.”
…
When Luo Feng left the tea room, he had calmed down.
Without the Black God Suit, he could have overpowered Li Yao in a direct battle.
But with it, Li Yao was practically invincible and no weaker than Luo Feng.
“Hong clearly doesn’t want to interfere.”
“That makes sense. Since Li Yao and I are roughly equal in strength, Hong probably sees this as a test for me.”
Hong regarded Luo Feng as a piece of uncut jade.
But jade must be carved before it becomes valuable.
Otherwise, it remains just a stone.
If even someone like Li Yao required the dojo’s help to deal with…
Hong would be deeply disappointed.
“Li Yao.”
“Perhaps you’re more experienced.”
“Perhaps you’ll even bring plenty of men with you.”
“But I’ll be waiting for you on the Australian continent.”
Luo Feng immediately strode back towards the gathering area for the training camp students.
…
Meanwhile, far away in China’s Jiangnan Base City.
Inside the mountaintop villa of Huayao Peak in Jiangnan Landscape Estate, Li Yao and the blonde woman Venina stared fixedly at the enormous screen before them displaying Candace’s video image.
“That’s everything, Aunt and Uncle. I’m heading to the assembly point. We’ll be departing for the Australian continent soon.”
Candace’s image disappeared.
Li Yao and Venina were overwhelmed by fury and anguish.
“So it really was him.”
“It really was him!”
Li Yao growled.
“So he’s been hiding the fact that he’s a Spirit Reader all along. If he didn’t have something to hide, why would he keep it secret? Hmph. Elite Training Camp student or not, even if he were the Emperor himself, I, Li Yao, will tear him into pieces and make him regret ever being born!”
