Luo Feng's Surname Isn't Tang

To be honest, Shen Mu expected that it would be good enough to break through to the Planet-level within a year, and to comprehend Insight before becoming a Planet-level warrior.

He just didn't expect the memories of the Azure Dragon Avatar over the past few decades to give him such a big surprise.

"It's only early June now, and there's still some time before August. It's perfect for two months of consolidation, thoroughly integrating my Insight of the ocean into my spearmanship and movement techniques."

According to the training camp's regulations, every August is a month for life-and-death adventures on the Australian continent.

With the help of the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart, two months is enough for Shen Mu to raise both his physical fitness and mental power to the limit of the War God-level.

"Maybe I can try challenging a King-Level Monster by then!"

The few King-Level Monsters on the Australian continent are all Planet-level Tier 1. After all, this is a place for training camp students to gain experience, so there can't be any powerful monsters comparable to his Azure Dragon Avatar.

Inside the secret room, Shen Mu opened the safe containing the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart. The Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart was a fist-sized crystal, and the liquid surging within it was a shimmering golden-green.

"This Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart is probably the one Luo Feng obtained on Mist Island."

According to the description of its medicinal effects in the manual, the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart can increase the physical fitness of a War God-level powerhouse by 3 to 5 times.

Currently, Shen Mu's physical fitness is about 73,000 kilograms, which is at the level of an early War God-level warrior. As long as he can increase it fourfold, he can easily reach the Advanced War God level.

Whoosh!

Shen Mu skillfully manipulated a throwing knife to cut open the crystal shell, and then consumed the golden-green essence liquid.

The rich life essence rapidly spread throughout his body, integrating into countless cells within Shen Mu at an astonishing rate.

This transformation lasted for an entire night.

The next morning, Shen Mu stood in front of the strength testing instrument, and the screen already displayed his current strength data.

349,000 kilograms, meeting the standard for Advanced War God-level!

"As expected, it increased more than fourfold, almost fivefold."

Shen Mu could also sense that his cells were in an incredibly saturated, overfed state, and he couldn't even absorb cosmic energy by practicing the guiding technique.

That was the essence power of the Essence of Flora dormant within his body. For the next two months, Shen Mu's main task was to completely digest the medicinal effects of the Essence of Flora.

The fifth month of the lunar calendar, the season of cicadas chirping.

The temperature in Hongning Base City, located in the Northern Hemisphere, was gradually rising, and the monsters in the wilderness area were becoming increasingly restless.

As a result, there were many cases of training camp students getting injured in June, but of course, this did not include Shen Mu.

With Shen Mu's Advanced War God-level physical fitness and War God-level Mentalist power, he was absolutely invincible below the King-Level Monster level. Even if he encountered a real King-Level Monster, he could easily escape.

In the evening, inside the training camp, in the recreational hall where Huaxia faction students often gathered.

A dozen people were in small groups, either chatting with each other or sparring in the martial arts hall, the atmosphere relaxed.

Shen Mu's figure was in front of the strength tester, testing his physical fitness.

Boom!

Accompanied by a muffled sound, Shen Mu's current strength data appeared on the target.

"I say, Junior Brother Shen Mu, you're already an Invincible War God, why are you still working so hard? We're embarrassed to slack off."

Zhao Ruo lay on the sofa in a slacking-off posture, looking at the punch force data of 463,000 kilograms on the screen, with a look of envy.

In terms of strength, Zhao Ruo was barely considered in the middle of the training camp students. Her Combat Technique and movement techniques were only at the Great Accomplishment stage of the second realm, her force exertion skills were just over twofold, and she had only recently stabilized in the top 100 of the Black Dragon Rankings this year.

When Shen Mu first started training in martial arts, he sparred with Zhao Ruo the most due to his strength, and their relationship was fairly familiar.

Shen Mu shook his head slightly: "It's still far from enough, today's strength increase hasn't even reached 4,000 kilograms. After all, I'm someone who has taken the Essence of Flora, and my realm is Advanced War God, so it doesn't count as working hard."

This data seemed very exaggerated, with a one-day increase in strength equivalent to the strength of a peak Intermediate Warrior-level martial artist, but in reality, it wasn't much.

An ordinary Warrior-level martial artist would only improve by a few dozen kilograms a day, and that was only when their physical potential hadn't been fully developed and they hadn't encountered a growth bottleneck.

But for a Warlord-level martial artist, a one-day increase could reach hundreds of kilograms, because the higher the physical fitness, the more cosmic energy the cells could absorb each day.

And after entering the War God level, the amount of cosmic energy absorbed each day was very exaggerated. As long as the body's potential hadn't reached its limit, it was normal to increase several hundred kilograms of strength a day.

The so-called physical potential was the expression of cell activity. The upper limit for most martial artists in their lifetime was Advanced Warrior-level, and with the addition of external elixirs, they might be able to become a Warlord-level martial artist.

The above was just the improvement data under normal circumstances. Shen Mu had the blessing of the ancient civilization gravity room and the medicinal power of the Essence of Flora.

Training in the ancient civilization gravity room for 20 minutes was equivalent to a normal martial artist's full-strength training for a day.

Shen Mu could use the ancient civilization gravity room for a full 90 hours a month, and a month's improvement was comparable to half a year of regular training, and that didn't even include the blessing of the Essence of Flora.

"Haha, Little Ruo, you still want to compare with Shen Mu? Increasing 100,000 kilograms in a month, in terms of talent, perhaps only Luo Feng can compare with Shen Mu."

The one who spoke was Shi Jiang from Jiangnan Pavilion, who was lean and muscular, his muscles seemed to be cast from steel, and he exuded a sharp aura.

Shi Jiang and Chu Qiang both joined the training camp in '53, and this year was their last year in the training camp.

"Speaking of which, hasn't Luo Feng come out of the Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 yet..."

Zhao Ruo's expression was a little dim. Although Luo Feng had only stayed in the training camp for half a year, their relationship was pretty good.

"No, three more months... it'll be a year."

Hearing them talk about Luo Feng, Shen Mu picked up a towel and wiped his sweat while saying, "The curator talked to me a while ago, asking if I was willing to enter Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 to see if I could find any clues about Senior Brother Luo Feng."

After Shen Mu consumed the Ten-Thousand-Year Willow Heart and became an Invincible War God-level Mentalist, Hong told him about the situation regarding Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9.

If Shen Mu was willing to explore Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9, he would not only receive a Black God Suit as a gift but also a manual detailing the experience of breaking through to the Domain realm.

"What?"

As soon as Shen Mu said this, the dozen or so Huaxia faction students present all turned their gazes towards him.

Chu Qiang walked directly in front of Shen Mu, "Junior Brother Shen Mu, don't be impulsive. Ancient civilization ruins are full of too many unknowns. No one can predict what accidents might happen inside."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, "Yes, that's what I think too. After all, ancient civilization ruins are too dangerous. It would be one thing to die on the battlefield, but to die in an ancient civilization ruin would be too frustrating."

To be honest, Shen Mu had really planned to venture into Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 before.

At that time, he would put on an act of wanting to rescue Senior Brother Luo Feng, regardless of his own safety. Not for the rewards Hong offered, but simply to gain favor and make it easier to latch onto a powerful figure.

You know, Luo Feng isn't a Tang. If you have a good relationship with him, he will actually help you. Luo Feng's childhood friend, Wei Wen, whose talent was considered ordinary among Earthlings, was forcibly built into an immortal with resources after Luo Feng grew up.

This is purely a guaranteed profit investment.

Moreover, as a transmigrator, Shen Mu also knew the details of Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9. As long as a Mentalist doesn't trigger the death assessment, there won't be any danger.

But even if it was triggered, Shen Mu wasn't afraid. Even if he couldn't complete the assessment within three years, Luo Feng would be able to control Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 through Babata by then.

At that time, he wouldn't be in danger, and he would also gain Luo Feng's favor, with the hope of joining Yunmo Star like Hong and Thunder God.

Shen Mu's golden finger is just a King-Level Azure Dragon Avatar, which is nothing in the universe. It's not as good as the advantage of a transmigrator's foresight, so joining Yunmo Star is very necessary.

Even if Shen Mu has confidence in himself, he is only aiming at Hong and Thunder God. He would be satisfied if he could reach the height of Hong and Thunder God in the future.

As for being comparable to Luo Feng, that basically has nothing to do with talent. It all depends on whether his cheat can compare with Luo Feng's cheat.

You know, on Luo Feng's path to growth, the cheats are linked one after another: immortal inheritance, possession, God-King accepting him as a disciple, the supreme secret technique Liyuan Technique, and so on. If he lacked any one of those cheats, he wouldn't have become City Lord Luo.

Of course, the above plan to gain favor was just Shen Mu's previous idea.

Now, thanks to his mother, Chen Wen, Shen Mu has a new, more reliable plan to gain favor.

"Senior brothers and sisters, you guys continue. I'm going back to rest." Shen Mu said with a smile to the others.

"Okay!"

"Take care, Junior Brother Shen."

Many Huaxia students greeted Shen Mu warmly.

After returning to his own pavilion, Shen Mu poured himself a glass of water and then picked up his phone to request a video call.

"Beep... Beep!"

After a few seconds, the video call connected, and the figure of a woman in a white coat appeared on the screen, with the background resembling a laboratory in a research institute.

The woman wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses, but even so, they couldn't hide her excellent appearance, and instead added a kind of intellectual scholar's temperament.

"A'Mu, you're done with training!" Tang Yongqing's eyebrows curved, and she looked at Shen Mu with some surprise.

Shen Mu nodded slightly, and then asked, "Sister Yongqing, has that Wang Xing'an continued to harass you?"

Tang Yongqing nodded slightly, a faint smile appearing on her face, "No, after Aunt Chen came forward at that time, he immediately apologized and hasn't come to the research institute since."

Shen Mu looked at Tang Yongqing and said softly, "Sister Yongqing, I plan to graduate after August this year."

Tang Yongqing, Luo Feng's cousin, her mother and his mother Chen Wen were high school classmates. Now she is his blind date partner, and they have just developed into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship.

Tang Yongqing was slightly stunned, "I heard Aunt Chen say that the Elite Training Camp is a five-year system, isn't it?"

"Yes, but my current strength is too high, and the training camp doesn't want me anymore. Sister Yongqing, do you want to take me in?"

"Mouthy!"

"..."

Half an hour later, Shen Mu hung up the phone, his gaze passing through the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the sunset in the distant sky.

Since transmigrating, whether in his previous life or this one, he has always been cautious. The more he knows, the more he feels his own insignificance, and the more he lacks a sense of security.

"Scheming and planning, just to live a better life."

Shen Mu can only do this. Living in such a world, even his words and actions cannot escape the eyes of others.
