Black Crown Golden Eagle

After obtaining his Warrior qualification as he had hoped, Xu Feng did not linger long in Mingyue Community.

"I should tell Dad, Mom, and my sister." Even now, Xu Feng was still brimming with excitement.

A Quasi-Warrior—he had finally taken the first step toward becoming a strong person.

After working hard for so many years, he had finally achieved something.

"Beep beep."

After dialing the number, Xu Feng waited.

"Hello." Mother Xu's voice came through the phone. Xu Feng said with a smile, "It's me."

"Of course I passed. Don't you know what kind of son you have? Hahaha, yes, yes. Alright." Xu Feng spoke happily into the phone. "Mm, Dad's home too? Mom, let Dad answer."

"Hello, Dad, it's me, Little Feng." Xu Feng was overjoyed.

"You brat, you only became a Quasi-Warrior. Look how smug you are." Xu Zimo could hardly wait to say it.

Although his family was one of the twelve major domestic families in the HR Alliance and appeared quite prestigious, in reality, not a single member of the family had reached the level of a War God.

They did have two War God experts serving as retainers, but they had to pay considerable maintenance fees every year.

The key was that those two War God experts were outsiders with no sense of belonging. When they did things, they simply worked for money.

War Gods like that could intimidate others, but how could they compare to War God members of one's own family when it came to reliability?

Yet neither of his children, Xu Xin or Xu Gang, had any intention of becoming Warriors.

Only his second son could endure hardship and devote himself wholeheartedly to training. Though Old Xu acted unconcerned, he was actually overjoyed inside.

An eighteen-year-old Warrior might not be an exceptional genius, but he could at least brag about it to his friends.

Fortunately, Xu Feng had not mentioned comprehending the Micro Movement Technique during the test.

Otherwise, given the old man's personality, he might have bought the next day's newspaper headlines.

Xu Feng rolled his eyes and said, "Do you think eighteen-year-old Warriors are sold like cabbages? ...Yes... Alright... We'll talk when I get home tonight. Bye."

Happy. Satisfied.

He had struggled for so long, diligently training his body since childhood—wasn't it all for this day?

"Breathe in, breathe out."

Xu Feng took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

"I've finally taken the first step toward becoming a strong person," Xu Feng silently said to himself.

Although an eighteen-year-old Warrior might seem like someone built up with resources, a Warrior's golden period of growth was indeed from eighteen to thirty-five.

From that perspective, Xu Feng's talent was actually not low.

The Quasi-Warrior assessment was a minor hurdle for improving one's strength in the early stages.

Without reaching the Quasi-Warrior level, one could not cultivate Gene Energy, train force techniques, or enter the Wilderness Zone to fight for survival.

But only after reaching the Warrior level could one come into contact with various manuals. The major powers would only sign Warrior contracts after the Warrior assessment and confirm a Warrior's benefits.

This also meant that a Warrior's talent could only be demonstrated after the Quasi-Warrior assessment.

"Maybe I really do have the potential to become a strong person in the future."

Right, he also had to notify his sister.

"Beep beep."

The sound rang through the phone as Xu Feng waited for Xu Xin to answer.

Hmm, why wasn't she answering? It was past five now, so school should be over. Xiao Xin should be answering. Xu Feng tapped the phone's location-tracking function in confusion. A map of Yangzhou City quickly appeared on the screen. One red dot marked Xu Feng's own location, while the green dot marked the location of Xu Xin's phone.

"She's not too far from me."

Xu Feng immediately learned where his sister was and could not help smiling. "I'll run over to her and personally tell her that I've become a Quasi-Warrior."

He immediately followed the map on his phone and hurried over.

At that moment, about a thousand meters above Yian District, a massive Black Crown Golden Eagle was flying over the city. Its body was more than twenty meters long, like a large fighter jet. Its feathers faintly gleamed with a cold metallic luster, while the feathers atop its head were jet-black, like a black crown. Its enormous, razor-sharp talons were golden as well.

Its sharp, cold eyes glowed blue as they looked down upon the human city below, carrying a faint hint of killing intent.

Boom!

The Black Crown Golden Eagle, already flying at great speed, suddenly accelerated sharply. In an instant, it broke the sound barrier and reached a terrifying speed. At the same time, an incomparably shrill eagle cry burst from its beak. The dreadful sound waves even produced visible shockwaves as they rapidly spread downward.

Screech!

An extremely piercing cry suddenly rang out. It differed from the rumble of spring thunder. Thunder was loud and deafening, but this shrill cry was piercing. Xu Feng felt a faint ache in his eardrums and frowned in discomfort. Many pedestrians on the street covered their ears.

"It's the cry of a flying beast." Xu Feng, who was nearby, could not help looking up at the sky.

"The Black Crown Golden Eagle, the third-ranked beast-type mutated creature. Its flight speed reaches 3.9 times the speed of sound, and its feathers are harder than diamonds, reaching Level 3 Krogin hardness."

As an academic ace, Xu Feng immediately recognized the type of mutated beast in the sky.

At that moment, Xu Xin, her two close friends, Luo Feng, and Wei Wen were in the underground city only a few hundred meters away from the giant eagle. Observing that black giant eagle, dozens of meters long, from such close range was more visually shocking than any words could describe.

What was even more shocking was this!

Opposite the giant eagle circling in midair stood a Golden Armored Warrior on a skateboard.

The wind howled through the sky, yet he stood as straight as a spear, as steady as a rock amid the gale. His gaze was fixed on the Black Crown Golden Eagle not far away.

Standing in midair!

Other than the legendary Psychic Masters, only Councilor-level Experts could stand in midair. And the Flying Skateboard beneath this Golden Armored Warrior's feet undoubtedly revealed his identity.

A Psychic Master!

"A Black Crown Golden Eagle? And a martial artist who can fly?" Xu Feng was completely stunned by the sight before him. Not just him—everyone present was dumbfounded as well.

"A Psychic Master... It's actually a Psychic Master." Xu Feng muttered, his entire body trembling slightly.

Xu Feng felt as though his mind had gone blank.

The Black Crown Golden Eagle was a Lord-level mutated beast, Apprentice Level 7. The one capable of dealing with a Black Crown Golden Eagle was most likely a God-level Psychic Master. And from another perspective, only a God-level Expert would dare fight a Lord-level Monster.

All of this showed that the Golden Armored Warrior was at least a God-level Expert.

"Aang~~~"

Suddenly, the massive Black Crown Golden Eagle let out an enraged roar. Its enormous wings beat fiercely, releasing a terrifying pressure. Everyone, including Xu Feng, felt unable to breathe, their legs turning weak.

"Is this a Lord-level Monster?" Xu Feng felt as though a huge stone were crushing his heart, making it impossible to breathe. Yet he was still excited, his blood boiling within him.

This Black Crown Golden Eagle was simply too powerful.

But after only a moment, Xu Feng suddenly realized something.

Wasn't the location where the Black Crown Golden Eagle appeared in the original novel the very place where Xu Xin and Luo Feng were?
