Xu Gang walked not far away, keeping a side glance on Luo Feng and Xu Xin in the distance. With his eyesight, he could clearly see their expressions and mannerisms. It was obvious that they were chatting happily, which made Xu Gang’s expression even more unpleasant.
“My sister is quite proud. She usually does not like interacting with young men of her age. How did she end up getting close to this Luo Feng…”
Xu Xin had already reached the legal age for marriage, so Xu Gang paid great attention to her romantic relationships.
In any case, he was not optimistic about Luo Feng at all.
“A martial artist who might die one day actually wants to get involved with my sister. The deeper she gets, the more she will suffer in the future,” Xu Gang thought angrily. “I already hinted to him last time. If he was sensible, he should have stayed away from my sister. He really does not know his place.”
Xu Gang was clearly angry, but what could he do?
He would not be foolish enough to rush over directly.
“Hm?” Xu Gang suddenly noticed someone not far away and had a thought. “I will make Luo Feng suffer a bit and back off on his own.”
Thinking this, Xu Gang walked toward the left side.
“Mr Xu.” A young man with a shaved head but a fairly handsome face greeted him with a smile.
“Gu Hai.” Xu Gang also walked over with a smile. “I did not expect to see you here. I thought you were in the wilderness zone.”
“Mr Lu Gang’s memorial service is a big event. How could I not come?” The bald young man looked toward the funeral hall and sighed. “Back then I received some guidance from Mr Lu Gang. I never expected that such a powerful expert like him would…”
Xu Gang felt that Gu Hai was genuinely sad and shook his head inwardly.
“He and Lu Gang did not even have much connection. He is overacting,” he thought.
As a businessman, he simply could not understand the bond between martial artists.
Martial artists who live on the edge of life and death value kindness deeply. Even a single instance of guidance from a senior is remembered for life.
“Gu Hai, my sister is also here today,” Xu Gang said with a smile.
“Xu Xin?” Gu Hai’s eyes lit up. “Where is she?”
Xu Gang gave a bitter smile and gestured with his eyes. “Over there, talking with a young martial artist.”
Gu Hai looked toward Luo Feng and Xu Xin in the distance and frowned slightly in surprise.
“As far as I know, Miss Xu Xin rarely interacts with martial artists. Her relationship with this young man is not ordinary,” he said. Even though he liked Xu Xin, he did not assume she would necessarily like him back.
“It is not ordinary,” Xu Gang said, shaking his head. “They were classmates before. My sister has some good feelings toward him, otherwise she would not be talking to him so much.”
Gu Hai nodded. Xu Xin indeed rarely speaks so much with a young man.
Even though he tried to stay calm, a hint of jealousy still rose in his heart.
“This kid, I already warned him last time to stay away from my sister. But it looks like he still has designs on her,” Xu Gang said, looking at Gu Hai. “He does not even look at his own status. A warrior level martial artist could die any day in the wilderness. Still chasing my sister. He is like a toad trying to eat a swan’s flesh.”
Gu Hai raised his eyebrows slightly, a trace of pride surfacing in his heart.
Young people were often like this. Compared to him, he was already an intermediate warlord level at only 21 years old.
“Xu Gang, you are right. Warrior level martial artists are indeed very dangerous in the wilderness. They could die at any time,” Gu Hai nodded. “If that guy truly cares about Xu Xin, he should not pursue her.”
“I think so too,” Xu Gang quickly agreed.
Gu Hai glanced at Luo Feng in the distance. “By the way, what is his name?”
“His name is Luo Feng. He just became a martial artist not long ago,” Xu Gang replied.
“Luo Feng?” Gu Hai frowned. “Madman?”
Xu Gang froze. “What madman?”
“Madman is a nickname. Only those with real strength get nicknames. Ordinary people do not,” Gu Hai said. “He is somewhat famous in our martial artist circle. You underestimated him. Although he just became a martial artist not long ago, in only two months he has killed more than ten thousand beast soldier level monsters, and almost all of them were high level beast soldiers. In my estimation, he should have intermediate warlord level strength.”
“More than ten thousand monsters in two months?” Xu Gang blinked.
“And you are saying he is intermediate warlord level? An 18 year old intermediate warlord?” Xu Gang could not help but exclaim.
Gu Hai nodded.
Xu Gang stared wide eyed toward Luo Feng in the distance, who was still chatting happily with Xu Xin, and could not help but curse.
“Damn, this guy was hiding his strength and playing me for a fool. I did not expect he is actually someone impressive.”
An 18 year old intermediate warlord level martial artist. Compared with a 21 year old intermediate warlord level martial artist, in terms of potential, Luo Feng might even be slightly stronger.
Xu Gang’s mindset began to shift.
“So this madman also likes Xu Xin,” Gu Hai said with a faint smile. “Interesting.”
“Luo Feng, they even call him madman… what a nickname,” Xu Gang muttered, still in shock. “More than ten thousand monsters in two months. That is truly insane.”
Although shocked, Xu Gang quickly calmed down. Looking at Luo Feng in the distance, he began to make judgments with a businessman’s mindset.
“At such a young age, already intermediate warlord level. And he did not come from good conditions. Reaching this stage is indeed not easy. I will just observe for now. If he becomes a war god level existence in the future, my father and the others would probably be more than willing to let my sister marry him.”
“But…”
“A martial artist is still a martial artist. Even Lu Gang died. Who knows when he might die. Forget it. I will just see how Luo Feng develops in the future.”
After the memorial service, some martial artists began to leave.
The Fire Hammer Squad of five left and went to a nearby restaurant with a classical style and elegant decoration. The owner, knowing that many martial artists would attend the memorial service and that it was being broadcast nationwide, immediately recognised their status from their direction and the extreme martial hall vehicle they arrived in. He quickly arranged the best private room on the third floor for them.
“Alright, you can go down now,” Chen Gu said after quickly ordering dishes and waving the waiter out.
The most beautiful female waiter glanced at them curiously before leaving.
“Damn it, I was in a good mood today, but after seeing those bastards from the Tiger Fang Squad, it is ruined,” Gao Feng said through gritted teeth. Earlier, they had encountered the Tiger Fang Squad at the memorial service.
“Captain, no need to get so angry at them. It is not worth it,” Wei Tie said, shaking his head.
“We will just kill them when we enter the wilderness,” Wei Qing said coldly.
Luo Feng frowned slightly and used his spiritual force to scan the entire room for listening devices.
Seeing this, Gao Feng smiled. “Luo Feng, do not worry. This place is high end. The best private rooms in places like this are often used by important people discussing confidential matters. If the owner dares to bug it, he is asking for death.”
Chen Gu also said, “Even if there were bugs, so what. We are just talking. We have not done anything.”
Luo Feng smiled. That made sense.
“Captain, does this Tiger Fang Squad have any powerful backing?” Luo Feng asked. “If they do, we need to be careful.”
“What powerful backing could they have?” Gao Feng sneered. “Are their parents war gods?”
“Speaking of which, Mr Lu Gang had three children. Two sons and one daughter. The eldest son and daughter are both warlord level experts. Only the second son is average,” Wei Tie said.
“Big shots are different. Even their children are so outstanding,” Gao Feng said.
“Oh, three children, two are warlord level?” Luo Feng was surprised.
“That is normal,” Gao Feng said. “You are new to the martial artist world, so you may not know. Powerful martial artists usually have strong children. Take the world’s strongest person, Hong, for example. He is beyond war god level. His son and daughter are both war god level.”
Luo Feng blinked. He really had not paid attention to such information.
“It is simple,” Gao Feng continued. “Martial artist cultivation strengthens every cell, improves genes, and upgrades the body. The stronger you are, the higher quality your genes become.”
“And having children is passing on those genes.”
“For people like Hong, Lei Shen, and Zhu Xi, it is not strange for their children to reach war god level. They are born with better genes. But it is not guaranteed. If the next generation is weaker, the family line will decline over generations.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Marriage and reproduction are indeed a process of genetic inheritance. The children of strong people have natural advantages.
The waiter brought in the food and left.
After everything was served, Gao Feng sighed again. “If humanity continues like this, the genes of strong people will spread more widely, and overall human genetics will improve. But weak people also reduce the overall level.”
“So improving humanity’s genes as a whole is very difficult.”
“Strong people improve humanity’s genes, weak people lower them.”
“But one thing is certain. Over time, the overall physical quality of humans on Earth will keep improving. One day, almost everyone will become a martial artist.”
This conclusion made Luo Feng nod slightly.
“Of course, whether everyone can become a martial artist is impossible to know. Five hundred years, one thousand years, maybe five thousand years,” Gao Feng said with a smile.
Soon after, they finished lunch, cleared the dishes, and ordered tea.
“Old Chen and the Wei brothers have already adapted. I think we should head into the wilderness in the next two days,” Gao Feng said. “Any objections?”
“How about the day after tomorrow?” Chen Gu suggested.
Luo Feng nodded. “Then let us depart the day after tomorrow. Captain, where are we going this time?”
“Haha,” Chen Gu laughed. “We are no longer going to small counties. Our team is much stronger now.”
“We should go to a major city,” Wei Tie and Wei Qing said excitedly.
“In the past, we only dared to operate around prefecture level cities.”
“How about we be bold this time and try City 003?” Gao Feng said, taking a deep breath.
“City 003?”
Everyone, including Luo Feng, was shocked.
