Water of Life

Xiao Yu patted Luo Feng on the shoulder, offering some comfort.

"I know. The Water of Life can regrow severed limbs and heal my brother's legs." Luo Feng gave a bitter smile. "But I heard the Water of Life is incredibly expensive. Even 30 billion Huaxia Coin might not be enough to win it at auction, and it isn't available often."

"The Water of Life can indeed do that. I've seen it auctioned quite often in the War God Palace. Usually, you can get one there for 10 billion Huaxia Coin, and there's basically one for sale every time." Xiao Yu smiled.

"Really?! Then I'll give you the money. Help me bid for one!" Luo Feng said eagerly.

"The auctions in the War God Palace are only held on the fifteenth of each month. We've already missed January's auction, and February's is still some time away. I'll bid on it first when the time comes, then we'll talk after the Water of Life arrives." Xiao Yu smiled. "By the way, how is the money I invested with Luo Hua doing now?"

"Luo Hua said the returns have been good. It has already doubled." Luo Feng smiled. "Want me to call him up?"

For Luo Feng, today had been a good day. The means to obtain the Water of Life had been settled ahead of time, and it might not even cost much.

"No need. I don't need that money for now. Let it stay there and keep investing!" Xiao Yu waved his hand. "Let's leave it at that for today. I'll speak to the headmaster about the Elite Training Camp. I'll let you know once there's news."

"Alright, thank you!" Luo Feng nodded.

After returning from Luo Feng's home, Xiao Yu went to the Limit Martial Hall, to his private Training Room.

He began practicing the Gene Warrior secret technique, "Basic 123 Forms."

"Basic 123 Forms" contained a total of 123 forms. Once a learner mastered all 123 forms, it was possible to raise a Gene Warrior's amplitude to 50.

With fifty times the strength and defense, even an Apprentice Ninth Stage Warrior would possess basic power comparable to a Planetary fourth stage expert.

After returning home that evening, Xiao Yu recommended Luo Feng to Hong for the Elite Training Camp. Hong agreed, but Luo Feng would need to arrive at the Limit Martial Arts Global Headquarters on March 28 and pass the B-grade assessment before he could officially enter the Elite Training Camp.

Xiao Yu handed the matter over to Zhou Zhengyong, president of the Jiangnan Base City Limit Martial Arts General Hall, and informed Luo Feng of the good news.

February 4, 2057, was Huaxia Country's Lunar New Year.

During the days surrounding the New Year, Xiao Yu spent his time either cultivating or visiting relatives and friends.

After the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Yu was starting to find such a peaceful life unbearable.

On February 10, he took a Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet to City No. 003.

The fighter jet circled in the air for quite some time, thoroughly scouting all the monsters within City No. 003.

The Qiankun fighter jet hovered above a famous amusement park in City No. 003. Once a world-renowned amusement park before the Great Nirvana, it was now occupied by a massive horde of monsters.

The leader of the monster horde was a Six-tailed Tiger Cat, a High Lord level Monster nearly twenty meters long. Six tails trailed behind it, and pale-red scales covered its entire body.

"Qiankun, open the fighter jet hatch." Xiao Yu spoke to the control platform of the Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet.

"Boom!"

The hatch opened, and Xiao Yu jumped from the fighter jet hovering a hundred meters in the air. The moment he landed, a two-meter-deep crater appeared in the ground.

The instant he landed, Xiao Yu charged toward the Six-tailed Tiger Cat three hundred meters away. In the blink of an eye, his speed surpassed 1,000 meters per second, comparable to the muzzle velocity of a sniper bullet.

After spotting Xiao Yu, the Six-tailed Tiger Cat reacted instantly and pounced toward him.

Xiao Yu did not dodge, choosing to meet it head-on. His SS-grade battle knife slashed toward the Tiger Cat's claws. In the instant before the blade and claws collided, it accelerated nine times. With an amplitude of 7, the impact of Xiao Yu's strike exceeded two million kilograms.

The battle knife severed the Tiger Cat's claws and traced an arc through the air. The Tiger Cat was also sent flying backward by the impact.

Xiao Yu did not stop there. He pursued the flying Tiger Cat and attacked continuously. The scales across its body shattered again and again, while the flesh beneath split open with wounds half a meter deep. Blood surged endlessly from them.

Fifteen minutes later, Xiao Yu drove his blade into the Six-tailed Tiger Cat's skull, completely ending its life. There was not a single intact spot left on its body, and all six tails had been cut off at the roots.

"That felt amazing!" Xiao Yu laughed.

The feeling of crushing monsters of the same level without needing to search for their weaknesses was indeed wonderful.

With a thought, the Six-tailed Tiger Cat's corpse vanished, leaving only a pile of materials behind.

Absorbing the Six-tailed Tiger Cat's corpse granted 80,000 Wish Points.

With a wave of his right hand, the valuable High Lord level Six-tailed Tiger Cat monster materials vanished.

One Elementary Lord after another, along with Beast General level Monsters, charged toward him.

He casually dealt with two Beginner Lord-level Monsters, gaining nearly 30,000 Wish Points. After storing the monster materials in his Space Ring, he ignored the other monsters.

He had no interest in monsters that had yet to reach Lord level.

After flashing three times in succession, he arrived on the rooftop of a ten-story building beside the amusement park.

Xiao Yu spoke to the Auxiliary Optical Computer on his left hand. "Qiankun, come pick me up."

"Yes, Master."

The Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet appeared above Xiao Yu as if it had used Teleportation. With a slight push from his feet, Xiao Yu leaped a hundred meters into the air and entered the Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet.

"Continue searching for High Lord level Monsters!" Xiao Yu ordered from the luxurious seat.

"Yes."

The Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet tore through the sky, flying toward another location occupied by a High Lord level Monster.

Ten days later, on a small island in the East Sea—though it was called small, its area still exceeded ten square kilometers.

For nearly a thousand meters across the middle of the island, the trees had been knocked over in every direction, and countless craters covered the ground.

It was obvious that this was a battlefield. Several figures still lay at the edge of it.

A black-red figure burst from the canopy of a gigantic hundred-meter-tall tree and shot toward the head of a hundred-meter-long serpent monster.

The serpent monster's body was as thick as the trunk of an ancient tree. From the bowl-sized scales still remaining on its body, as well as the scales scattered across the ground, it was clear that the battle had been exceptionally fierce.

The black-red figure moved with astonishing speed, exceeding three times the speed of sound and nearly reaching four times Mach. At the instant of impact, a cold flash pierced the serpent monster's skull like lightning. The serpent monster collapsed to the ground, dead beyond doubt.

The black-red figure spoke to the wrist guard on his left hand. "Qiankun, come pick me up."

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his right hand toward the serpent monster, and the monster materials that instantly formed vanished.

Absorbing the Patterned Giant Python Snake's corpse granted 180,000 Wish Points.

"Looks like this Patterned Giant Python Snake was about to break through to King level."

The black-red figure, Xiao Yu, flashed and arrived beside several other Lord level monsters lying on the ground.

There really were plenty of monsters in the ocean!

Even this single island had two High Lord level Monsters, two Intermediate Lord level Monsters, and more than ten Beginner Lord-level Monsters.

After collecting all the monster materials, he had gained a total of 350,000 Wish Points.

One minute later, Xiao Yu was once again seated in the luxurious chair of the Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet, reviewing the gains of the past five days.

Over the past five days, he had constantly fought High Lord level Monsters. He had hunted eight High Lord level Monsters, twenty Intermediate Lords, and as many as fifty Beginner Lord-level Monsters.

He had gained 1.5 million Wish Points, along with monster materials worth 200 billion Huaxia Coin.

Once he sold these monster materials to the Limit Martial Arts School, Xiao Yu's personal contribution points would reach four stars.

Such enormous gains were the result of him specifically seeking out High Lord level Monsters to hunt.

Ever since obtaining the Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet, his efficiency in searching for and hunting monsters had increased by an unknown number of times.

"Master, the War God Palace Auction Hall will begin in half an hour."

"Alright."

On the fifteenth of every month, the War God Palace held an auction. On that day, more than ninety percent of the world's War Gods gathered to participate in the grand event.

Today happened to be February 15, the first auction after the 2057 Huaxia Country New Year.

At 19:45 Huaxia time, in the virtual space's War God Palace Auction Hall.

The Auction Hall was laid out like an opera house, entirely circular in shape. The central area was the item display platform, surrounded by a large number of seats. There were five thousand seats in total. At this moment, the Auction Hall was already packed, with War Gods chatting in groups of three or five.

"Xiao Yu."

"Xiao Yu, over here."

When Xiao Yu, dressed in simple casual clothes, entered the Auction Hall, many War Gods from the Limit Martial Arts School enthusiastically waved and called out to him.

After passing through the corridor, Xiao Yu quickly arrived at the large section occupied by the Limit Martial Arts School's War Gods. It was an impressive sight! As expected of the Number One Under Heaven elite faction!

In one corner of the Auction Hall, the married couple Vulture and Scorpion sat together.

"Xiao Yu is here." Vinina looked into the distance. "I wonder whether we can recruit this Invincible War God for the family?"

"Everyone!"

The entire Auction Hall rapidly fell silent, and the music ceased. Swish! A beam of light shone down on the central display platform, where a Chinese man and a white man stood. One spoke in Chinese, then the white man immediately repeated it in English.

"We meet again." The Chinese man smiled, and the white man repeated the words.

The two simultaneously waved their hands—

Immediately, a vast array of items appeared around the central display platform. There were so many of them that they vanished again after only a moment.

"This auction contains a total of eighty-three lots." The Chinese man smiled. "Perhaps what you want is among them, so I won't waste any more words. I now officially announce that this auction has begun!"

"The first auction item is a work of art..." As soon as the Chinese man finished speaking, a gigantic famous painting appeared above the Auction Hall, slowly rotating in the air so every War God could see it.

"The eighth auction item is two sets of A-grade genetic medicine. Each set contains ten doses, with a starting price of 1.2 billion Huaxia Coin per set."

Ever since Xiao Yu became a War God and entered the War God Palace, he had not bid on a single item. With his current strength, ordinary items no longer caught his eye. Besides, he had the system—what could he possibly fail to obtain if he wanted it?

"The forty-third auction item is one portion of Water of Life, with a starting price of 10 billion Huaxia Coin." As the announcement sounded, a test tube containing Water of Life appeared above the Auction Hall.

"11 billion." Xiao Yu called out directly.

Several War Gods who had just been about to raise their hands saw that it was Xiao Yu bidding and lowered them again.

"11 billion, first time!"

Xiao Yu understood that no one was bidding because he was already an Advanced War God, and the many War Gods present were showing him respect. However, that would only happen for this first bid.

"11 billion, second time!"

"11 billion, third time! Congratulations, War God Xiao Yu!" The Chinese man smiled.

This auction lasted for more than three hours. Xiao Yu spent 11 billion Huaxia Coin to buy a portion of Water of Life, practically getting a bargain. After the auction ended, he was pulled by a group of War Gods from the Limit Martial Arts School to gather in the hall. He met several particularly famous War Gods from the Limit Martial Arts School and also unexpectedly befriended Aurora, the person in charge of United States District 11.

The Water of Life Xiao Yu had auctioned today had been supplied by Aurora. Xiao Yu spent another 11 billion Huaxia Coin to buy a second portion, specifically for his third uncle.
