Luo Feng Has Returned

After returning from the Limit Martial Hall headquarters, Yue Ming began his secluded cultivation once more. He went to the underground training room, sat cross-legged on a cushion, and with a thought, opened the Time-Space Disruptor's Small World. He took out the Water Godhead, preparing to focus all his efforts on comprehending the Water Origin Laws.

With the Water Godhead assisting his comprehension of the Origin Laws, Yue Ming's progress was astonishing. In just two short months, his progress in the Water Origin Laws broke through to 2%. Time slipped away unnoticed, and in the blink of an eye, eleven months had passed.

On this day, inside the underground base of Ruins No. 9, the ruins' gate slowly creaked open. Instantly, all the staff in the base turned their heads toward the entrance. That gate was the passage leading to the ruins; every time it opened, it meant a War God was emerging from within.

"Someone is coming out?"

"That's not right. Almost all the War Gods who signed up to enter the ruins this year have already come out. Could it be that a War God stayed inside for more than three months?"

"Quick, let's see which War God it is..."

Under normal circumstances, every time the ruins opened, the War Gods who entered would emerge within three months. Anyone who exceeded three months was generally presumed dead. Watching the gate slowly open, everyone widened their eyes, eager to see which War God had emerged.

"Welcome back, War God Luo Feng."

As the ruins' gate opened completely, a figure covered in black walked out from the passage. Immediately after, the underground base's control system issued a notification: the person who had emerged from the ruins was none other than Luo Feng.

"Luo Feng is actually still alive?"

The entire base hall erupted in an uproar. The incident of Luo Feng's supposed death had caused quite a stir back then, and even Hong, the master of the Limit Martial Hall, had attached great importance to the matter. Many had felt pity for Luo Feng, never expecting that after one year and three months, he would actually emerge from the ruins.

Many staff members in the underground base began reporting this news to their respective factions. This was absolutely earth-shattering news. The peerless genius of yesteryear, the Mental Master and invincible War God, had incredibly stayed in the ruins for one year and three months.

"Bang, bang, bang~"

At the global headquarters of the Limit Martial Hall, in a spacious room on the top floor of the spaceship-shaped building, Hong sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, meditating on his Domain. Suddenly, a knock came from outside the door. Hong frowned slightly; before entering seclusion, he had specifically instructed that he was not to be disturbed unless something major occurred.

"Come in!"

"Master, Luo Feng has emerged from Ruins No. 9."

"Very good!"

Hong's spirits were instantly lifted. Since Luo Feng had returned, they could now begin arranging for him to receive the inheritance that Yue Ming had mentioned previously. Once Luo Feng obtained that inheritance, they would possess cultivation secret techniques, which would significantly increase the speed at which they could comprehend their Domains!

"Hello, Yue Ming, Luo Feng is back..."

"I know!"

Hanging up the video call with Hong, Yue Ming slowly stood up. He had been in seclusion for nearly a year this time; it was time to come out and rest for a few days. Thinking of his gains during this period, a smile appeared on Yue Ming's face.

Level: Stellar Level Third Order (Second Order)

Realm: Water Origin Laws 6%, Space Origin Laws 1%

Gene: 100x

Force: 7x

Secret Technique: None

After nearly a year of closed-door cultivation, Yue Ming had not only broken through to the third order of the Stellar Level, but his progress in comprehending the Water Origin Laws had also reached 6%. Had Yue Ming not focused his efforts on comprehending the laws rather than his cultivation realm, a year would have been more than enough for him to reach the ninth order of the Stellar Level.

The main reason was that there were still eight years until the start of the Peak Genius Battle. His cultivation realm could be improved gradually; he could simply raise his realm while comprehending the Origin Laws, so there was no need to specifically waste time on breakthroughs.

"Li Yao!"

When Luo Feng returned to the Ming Yue Residential Area and learned of what his family had endured, his heart was instantly consumed by rage. He wished he could find Li Yao immediately and tear him to pieces. In Luo Feng's heart, his family was his reverse scale; anyone who dared to touch them had to die!

"Brother, ever since the Limit Martial Hall announced your death, Li Yao has used his connections and various means to target our family. Although he didn't dare to directly kill the family members of Limit Martial Hall fighters, he used some despicable tactics—methods that, while not lethal, were even more agonizing. Once, Mom and Dad were almost in a car accident while crossing the street. Fortunately, someone intervened to save them, otherwise, Mom and Dad might have already..."

"Who helped our family? I must thank them properly."

Hearing that someone had saved his parents' lives, Luo Feng felt deeply grateful and decided that no matter what, he had to repay them.

"That person said they were only acting under orders and it wasn't convenient to reveal the identity of the person protecting our family. However, after making some discreet inquiries, I managed to find a few clues. I only know that the other party lives in Villa 188 of the Ning An Residential Area. As for their identity, I couldn't find out. Later, it was that person who spoke up, causing Li Yao to restrain himself and stop targeting us. Otherwise, by the time you returned, brother, I'm afraid you wouldn't have been able to see us anymore..."

"Li Yao, you truly deserve to die!"

Luo Feng's heart was filled with killing intent. After Li Yao retreated to Europe, Luo Feng had been content to ignore him once he achieved success. He never expected that the moment his death was confirmed, Li Yao would immediately come to retaliate against his family. This time, he would not be soft-hearted; he would definitely kill Li Yao.

Especially when he thought about how his family had almost been killed by Li Yao, Luo Feng felt a lingering fear. If that had truly happened, even if he killed Li Yao to avenge them, his family would never return. He would have lived with that regret and self-reproach for the rest of his life.

"Leave this matter to me. I will eliminate Li Yao; I won't let him go this time! As for the benefactor who helped our family, I will go pay them a visit shortly. I must thank them properly. Are there any Spirits of Plants and Trees left at home? I want to take them as a thank-you gift when I visit our benefactor."

"There are two left."

Luo Hua said nothing more. No matter how precious the Spirits of Plants and Trees were, they were not as valuable as his family's lives. Luo Hua was also a person who believed in repaying kindness. Although he felt a pang of heartache hearing that Luo Feng wanted to give them away, he did not voice any opposition.

"Ding-dong!"

"I am Luo Feng, here to pay a special visit..."

After soothing his parents' emotions, Luo Feng brought the two Spirits of Plants and Trees to the Ning An Residential Area to pay a formal visit and express his gratitude. To show respect, Luo Feng pressed the doorbell and waited quietly outside; after all, barging in without the owner's permission would be very impolite.

"Come in!"

Hearing that Luo Feng had come to visit, Yue Ming was not surprised. Given Luo Feng's personality, he knew that once he found out he was the one who had protected his family, he would certainly come to express his thanks. Therefore, after coming out of seclusion, Yue Ming had been waiting for Luo Feng's arrival.
